Islamic State’s triumphalist slogan: Remaining and Expanding (baqiya

unbounded confidence, .. adjust its message to less fortunate circumstances?

 Om, complacency. One could construct that in the being of human spirituality 
there are certainly things we do in life that enhance spiritual well-being 
either individually or collectively and then other things we may do that 
degrade spiritual well-being.  On these terms we could say there is that which 
is 'virtuous', enhancing spiritual well-being and then the spiritually 'sinful' 
which detract from it.  
 

 Given what science is now correlating (or) some of what is our direct 
experience, for those who actually practice meditation and are experienced at 
it, this could well be said (constructed) that complacency in attending to 
meditation either individually or at the collective meditation is sinful in 
these terms. 
  
 It could well be constructed that in the least, the complacent position on 
meditation is just some ignorance of the science or some lack of discipline in 
practice and experience as these manifest and not sinning necessarily like in 
the sense of the religious jurisdiction of a Sharia law or a Papal inquisition. 
 We are just talking the spiritual here, like in the experience of 
transcendentalism here.  
 

 But then, in this construction when it might come to further considering those 
who would be false apostates out on the internet actively denying the science 
of meditation and even working at derailing those evident good works of 
meditation and its collective practice theirs under this spiritual construction 
would certainly become a moral failing simple, above the complacent, a type of 
serious crime against humanity's spirituality more than just misdemeanor, but 
rising to that of felony crime against humanity. [ ]

 I agree.
 

 "The term moral obligation has a number of meanings in moral philosophy, in 
religion, and in layman's terms. Generally speaking, when someone says of an 
act that it is a 'moral obligation,' they refer to a belief that the act is one 
prescribed by their set of values."
 

 People, even in the uniform world of a particular belief system have different 
values.
 

 Perhaps some of these we are born with, and some cultural, some indoctrinated.
 

 People who learn TM have a reason to learn, and even if they stick with the 
meditation, they may not share the values the TM movement holds dear, or 
believe everything the TM movement thinks they should.
 

 If consciousness is the ultimate reality, then it already permeates everything 
("infinity at every point"), everything is in its grip so meditating should not 
have any wide ranging effect but would be local with the organism, a person 
might be calmer.
 

 The evidence of wide ranging effects of meditation is not very convincing, and 
personal belief and spiritual hype is not evidence of efficacy. 
 

 Meditators and non-meditators hold widely divergent views. People who want 
Hillary for US President say it is a moral obligation to vote for her. The same 
for those who want Trump for President, a moral obligation to vote for him.
 

 And then there is Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, who also have supporters with 
different values.
 

 Meditation does not seem to alter these kinds of preferences, although the 
cultural environment of the TM movement might have an influence on some people, 
or their church and so on.
 

 Is it a moral obligation for you, whoever you are, to behave in the way I 
think you should? If you do, then by all means contact me and I will tell you 
what to do.
 

 After all, I am an Archon Angel sent here for just this purpose.

Evidently so, people should be coming to Fairfield, Iowa to meditate right now. 
 Absolutely according to the power of some of the best of science now the gross 
numbers meditating in proximity is indeed an extremely highly correlated fact 
as to being positively transforming to the individual and for the collective.   
This is quite clear now in the weight of all the science even without cooking 
the data that those who would know better should not be complacent about their 
place in this.  Now, get in a car, ride the train, board an airliner and get to 
the collective meditation here fast as you can.  Fairfield, Iowa is legally an 
easy two days drive from Texas. It is 6 hours drive from St. Louis. Old 
meditators should not just sleep or sit this one out in retirement. We could 
all use your help now with this. -JaiGuruYou

|  Please see important P.P.S. at the bottom!Dear Sidhas and Governors of 
Fairfield,The atmosphere in Fairfield and Maharishi Vedic City is much 
enlivened these days with the influx of Sidhas and Governors from around the 
country — and even from other countries — who have come to join us in creating 
coherence in national consciousness during this unusually turbulent election 
period. Wherever we meet them, in the Domes or the square or the supermarkets, 
let’s give them such a warm welcome that they won’t want to leave our oasis of 
happiness.The extra numbers in the flying halls remind us of all those times 
when the Domes were overflowing, and we just felt invincible and blissful 
despite whatever was going on in the world. You’ve probably heard from friends 
that, recently, many in our community are re-discovering group program. They’re 
experiencing anew that special light feeling as you walk out of the Dome after 
program.The current elections are crucial to the future of our nation in many 
ways. It is not just the executive; it is all three branches of government 
which hang in the balance. Let’s use the powerful technology of group program 
that Maharishi gave us to ensure the best possible outcome for the whole 
country.The evidence for the Maharishi Effect continues to mount up. Another 
compelling, new study came out in February of this year, again based on 
publicly available statistics. This is a scientific breakthrough that outstrips 
all others in its power to do good for ourselves, our nation, and our world.Jai

     Dear friends,
As the year draws to a close and we look to the start of 2017, I notice that 
2018 will bring the 35th anniversary of the Taste of Utopia Assembly of 1983. I 
know there are many here with fond memories of that time (looking over the old 
photos the excitement is palpable! Also faces were younger back then... ;)
For the anniversary I have been thinking of putting together a commemorative 
video to celebrate those days [the lead-up to Taste of Utopia, the course 
itself and generally the 1980s at MIU] and uploading it to youtube for all to 
enjoy. Obviously it is a huge task and has to fit in around work, so I am 
starting it well in advance.
Sadly I have very few photographs from that time and so I thought maybe friends 
here could help me out with the raw materials! So if anybody has photographs, 
video, old brochures and magazines, yearbooks/lists of course participants, TTC 
photos from around the 70s and 80s, or even would like to send me written 
recollections of the time/get interviewed, I would be deeply grateful.

Also if anyone has a high-resolution photograph of the 7000 participants in 
front of the dome (I know there are low-res ones out there but I'd love to pan 
across it so the faces are visible) that would also be very good.

If you can make contact with old friends and ask them too that would be very 
helpful!

Photos of TOU '83..
 

 Sometimes e-mail addresses get filtered in a way that get chopped or trunked 
within the Yahoo way of doing groups.  I think that happened the first time you 
posted.
 It seems to work more reliably to write out your e-mail address avoiding the 
hyperlinking if you wish a response direct to your own e-mail. I see your

More by e-mail to FFL on complacency.. 

 # 

 I agree that there is a moral obligation to attend the dome as often as one 
can-and especially when we need it most- 

There are those who could go who choose not to.There are those who have the 
time and wherewithal that decide to do other things at group practice 
times.There are those who may be considered complacent in so far as they know 
the value of group practice and yet do not go to the dome. Even a brief look 
back at the sacrifices previous generations made for our country would give us 
pause when we see we have become complacent in our duty.

 Om, complacency. One could construct that in the being of human spirituality 
there are certainly things we do in life that enhance spiritual well-being 
either individually or collectively and then other things we may do that 
degrade spiritual well-being.  On these terms we could say there is that which 
is 'virtuous', enhancing spiritual well-being and then the spiritually 'sinful' 
which detract from it.  
 

 Given what science is now correlating (or) some of what is our direct 
experience, for those who actually practice meditation and are experienced at 
it, this could well be said (constructed) that complacency in attending to 
meditation either individually or at the collective meditation is sinful in 
these terms. 
  
 It could well be constructed that in the least, the complacent position on 
meditation is just some ignorance of the science or some lack of discipline in 
practice and experience as these manifest and not sinning necessarily like in 
the sense of the religious jurisdiction of a Sharia law or a Papal inquisition. 
 We are just talking the spiritual here, like in the experience of 
transcendentalism here.  
 

 But then, in this construction when it might come to further considering those 
who would be false apostates out on the internet actively denying the science 
of meditation and even working at derailing those evident good works of 
meditation and its collective practice theirs under this spiritual construction 
would certainly become a moral failing simple, above the complacent, a type of 
serious crime against humanity's spirituality more than just misdemeanor, but 
rising to that of felony crime against humanity. [ ]

 I agree.
 

 "The term moral obligation has a number of meanings in moral philosophy, in 
religion, and in layman's terms. Generally speaking, when someone says of an 
act that it is a 'moral obligation,' they refer to a belief that the act is one 
prescribed by their set of values."
 

 People, even in the uniform world of a particular belief system have different 
values.
 

 Perhaps some of these we are born with, and some cultural, some indoctrinated.
 

 People who learn TM have a reason to learn, and even if they stick with the 
meditation, they may not share the values the TM movement holds dear, or 
believe everything the TM movement thinks they should.
 

 If consciousness is the ultimate reality, then it already permeates everything 
("infinity at every point"), everything is in its grip so meditating should not 
have any wide ranging effect but would be local with the organism, a person 
might be calmer.
 

 The evidence of wide ranging effects of meditation is not very convincing, and 
personal belief and spiritual hype is not evidence of efficacy. 
 

 Meditators and non-meditators hold widely divergent views. People who want 
Hillary for US President say it is a moral obligation to vote for her. The same 
for those who want Trump for President, a moral obligation to vote for him.
 

 And then there is Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, who also have supporters with 
different values.
 

 Meditation does not seem to alter these kinds of preferences, although the 
cultural environment of the TM movement might have an influence on some people, 
or their church and so on.
 

 Is it a moral obligation for you, whoever you are, to behave in the way I 
think you should? If you do, then by all means contact me and I will tell you 
what to do.
 

 After all, I am an Archon Angel sent here for just this purpose.

[FairfieldLife] The World is based on Consciousness

2016-10-26 Thread jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
This is another way of saying the world is based on information.  Hence, the 
world is a simulation like in a gigantic computer screen.   What is the proof?  
The dual nature of light as a particle and a wave.  This nature of light shows 
that the world is not deterministic since light is not a particle in the strict 
sense.  Since light is also a wave, it means that the world is based on 
probabilities.  Thus, consciousness is needed to determine these probabilities. 
 Here's a an explanation of the light experiment, as explained by Tom Campbell, 
a former TMer:

Thx, Jerry J. has tons of photos but he hasn't shared them with anybody yet.
 

 OTOH, some of the posts here suggest that one can memorialize and mentally 
live in the past, (say the late 60's and early 70's).  Nopeas a Movement, 
the yearly initiation stats point to a virtually dead organization.
 Excessive immersion in reflecting on the good old days can sometimes be 
considered abnormal, especially if it interferes with current activity.  In 
Scientology, this is called "being stuck on the time track".  If Drs. Wallace, 
Hagelin, and others are in that category, there's an easy cure:  the e-meter.

 Although the purely philosophical aspects of L. Ron Hubbards work are 
sufficient in themselves to elevate this civilization, only auditing provides a 
precise path by which any individual may walk an exact route to higher states 
of spiritual  awareness.

[FairfieldLife] Re: The World is based on Consciousness

2016-10-26 Thread anon_alias
DNA analysis contains all the information in the entire cosmos.

There are two ways to prove that the world is based on information: common 
sense and logical inference. Common sense tells us that wherever there is an 
action there is a reaction - cause nd effect. What goes up must come down - 
human excrement always flows downstream. 

Since we are conscious, we infer that we really exist, because without 
consciousness, there would be no perception. So we logically infer that 
consciousness is the ultimate reality. 

According to Harris, if consciousness means self-consciousness, then it cannot 
be identified by logic with the human body. Animals also possess a physical 
body, but not rational consciousness.  

If consciousness is a property of the body, it must be perceived like other 
material properties. But consciousness is neither seen, smelt or tasted nor 
touched nor heard.

The dual nature of light as a particle and a wave.  This nature of light shows 
that the world is not deterministic since light is not a particle in the strict 
sense.  Since light is also a wave, it means that the world is based on 
probabilities.  Thus, consciousness is needed to determine these probabilities.

2016-10-26 Thread Archer Angel archonan...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
I meditate all the time, and more often than most TM meditators, it has a 
goodly effect. 
Meditation reveals certain oddities about the nature of the universe from the 
level of experience. 
I would say the the illusion aspect of maya, and the consequent 
misunderstanding of the nature of spiritual life lasts all the way to Brahman 
consciousness, at which point maya begins to retreat. 
Most people seem to assume this happens near the beginning of practice of TM 
but the misunderstanding of the nature of self and the world lasts through all 
the states and we become capable of correcting the mistake of the intellect 
only at the end.
Because until then we did not know what it really was.
The word used for sin in the Bible means literally to miss the mark. The word 
sin in English comes from a root word meaning guilty. Actions performed when 
feeling guilty are stressful.
Using the term sin to coerce people to do something that they spontaneously do 
not do, such as vote or even meditate might have adverse effects if in fact 
what the person does contrary to another's desire is really spontaneous. 
Most people in the world do not naturally meditate, they have to come to it 
somehow, and understand by experience its value, and only then will they 
naturally continue with it.
The TM org is considered hostile by some so these people might avoid doing what 
the org wants.
Meditation eventually develops spontaneity, but spontaneity means you cannot 
predict what will happen, you cannot predict what a spontaneous person acting 
within the framework of nature's laws will do.
They do not act on individual whim, it's nature's spontaneity to do or not to 
do.

    Om, complacency. One could construct that in the being of human 
spirituality there are certainly things we do in life that enhance spiritual 
well-being either individually or collectively and then other things we may do 
that degrade spiritual well-being.  On these terms we could say there is that 
which is 'virtuous', enhancing spiritual well-being and then the spiritually 
'sinful' which detract from it.  
Given what science is now correlating (or) some of what is our direct 
experience, for those who actually practice meditation and are experienced at 
it, this could well be said (constructed) that complacency in attending to 
meditation either individually or at the collective meditation is sinful in 
these terms.   It could well be constructed that in the least, the complacent 
position on meditation is just some ignorance of the science or some lack of 
discipline in practice and experience as these manifest and not sinning 
necessarily like in the sense of the religious jurisdiction of a Sharia law or 
a Papal inquisition.  We are just talking the spiritual here, like in the 
experience of transcendentalism here.  
But then, in this construction when it might come to further considering those 
who would be false apostates out on the internet actively denying the science 
of meditation and even working at derailing those evident good works of 
meditation and its collective practice theirs under this spiritual construction 
would certainly become a moral failing simple, above the complacent, a type of 
serious crime against humanity's spirituality more than just misdemeanor, but 
rising to that of felony crime against humanity. [ ]  .. constructing the

I agree.
"The term moral obligation has a number of meanings in moral philosophy, in 
religion, and in layman's terms. Generally speaking, when someone says of an 
act that it is a 'moral obligation,' they refer to a belief that the act is one 
prescribed by their set of values."
People, even in the uniform world of a particular belief system have different 
values.
Perhaps some of these we are born with, and some cultural, some indoctrinated.
People who learn TM have a reason to learn, and even if they stick with the 
meditation, they may not share the values the TM movement holds dear, or 
believe everything the TM movement thinks they should.
If consciousness is the ultimate reality, then it already permeates everything 
("infinity at every point"), everything is in its grip so meditating should not 
have any wide ranging effect but would be local with the organism, a person 
might be calmer.
The evidence of wide ranging effects of meditation is not very convincing, and 
personal belief and spiritual hype is not evidence of efficacy. 
Meditators and non-meditators hold widely divergent views. People who want 
Hillary for US President say it is a moral obligation to vote for her. The same 
for those who want Trump for President, a moral obligation to vote for him.

   Actually they both have been in it and stayed at it for the future of where

 “There will be a time coming when it can change.”
 They both consciously worked and telegraphed that idea around in a meeting

 Who knows? However, that was one of those "Maharishi says..." pronouncements 
floating around FF in my early days here. Here's what MAPI has to say about 
peanuts (it's consistent with what MMY allegedly said):

"Peanuts are not recommended in ayurveda. Peanuts are not really nuts; they are 
legumes. Peanuts are difficult to digest and can make one feel sluggish and 
lethargic in body and mind. Ayurvedically, it is better to use either cashew or 
almond butter for sandwiches."

 The illusory aspect of maya is inherent in the world.  The prime example is 
the dual nature of light in nature.  It is both a particle and a wave.  Being a 
wave, light is non-deterministic and is probabilistic.   As such, the world is 
based on information that's similar to the virtual world of computers.  Hence, 
it can be justified to say that the world is a simulation in a gigantic 
computer.

 I meditate all the time, and more often than most TM meditators, it has a 
goodly effect. 
 

 Meditation reveals certain oddities about the nature of the universe from the 
level of experience. 
 

 I would say the the illusion aspect of maya, and the consequent 
misunderstanding of the nature of spiritual life lasts all the way to Brahman 
consciousness, at which point maya begins to retreat. 
 

 Most people seem to assume this happens near the beginning of practice of TM 
but the misunderstanding of the nature of self and the world lasts through all 
the states and we become capable of correcting the mistake of the intellect 
only at the end.
 

 Because until then we did not know what it really was.
 

 The word used for sin in the Bible means literally to miss the mark. The word 
sin in English comes from a root word meaning guilty. Actions performed when 
feeling guilty are stressful.
 

 Using the term sin to coerce people to do something that they spontaneously do 
not do, such as vote or even meditate might have adverse effects if in fact 
what the person does contrary to another's desire is really spontaneous. 
 

 Most people in the world do not naturally meditate, they have to come to it 
somehow, and understand by experience its value, and only then will they 
naturally continue with it.
 

 The TM org is considered hostile by some so these people might avoid doing 
what the org wants.
 

 
 Meditation eventually develops spontaneity, but spontaneity means you cannot 
predict what will happen, you cannot predict what a spontaneous person acting 
within the framework of nature's laws will do.
 

 They do not act on individual whim, it's nature's spontaneity to do or not to 
do.

 Om, complacency. One could construct that in the being of human spirituality 
there are certainly things we do in life that enhance spiritual well-being 
either individually or collectively and then other things we may do that 
degrade spiritual well-being.  On these terms we could say there is that which 
is 'virtuous', enhancing spiritual well-being and then the spiritually 'sinful' 
which detract from it.  
 

 Given what science is now correlating (or) some of what is our direct 
experience, for those who actually practice meditation and are experienced at 
it, this could well be said (constructed) that complacency in attending to 
meditation either individually or at the collective meditation is sinful in 
these terms. 
  
 It could well be constructed that in the least, the complacent position on 
meditation is just some ignorance of the science or some lack of discipline in 
practice and experience as these manifest and not sinning necessarily like in 
the sense of the religious jurisdiction of a Sharia law or a Papal inquisition. 
 We are just talking the spiritual here, like in the experience of 
transcendentalism here.  
 

 But then, in this construction when it might come to further considering those 
who would be false apostates out on the internet actively denying the science 
of meditation and even working at derailing those evident good works of 
meditation and its collective practice theirs under this spiritual construction 
would certainly become a moral failing simple, above the complacent, a type of 
serious crime against humanity's spirituality more than just misdemeanor, but 
rising to that of felony crime against humanity. [ ]
