Samadhi Is Much Closer Than You Think -- Really! -- It's A No-Brainer. Who'd've Thunk It?
Anjali, I hope all is well for your loved ones in every realm of life. We are all aware of, and have experienced, subtler realms of being, some times through conscious efforts and other times mysteriously in serendipity, and perhaps grace. I'm searching for personal experiences in arriving at such states through breathwork. Do you have, or do you know anyone who has experience using these breathing modalities: Holotropic Breathing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holotropic_breathing Rebirthing Breathwork http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebirthing-Breathwork Chi Kung/Qi Gong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_kung or perhaps something similar to either? If you do not have such experience, please forward this message to someone you may know who does. Which of these modalities have you invested your sincerity in practicing? Are you currently practicing either of these breathworks? If so, which one(s)? What was or is your experience toward gaining fluency in practicing this [or each] breathwork modality? What were some of the difficulties or obstacles in furtherinng your endeavors of practicing this [or each] breathwork modality? What were some, if any, symptoms you experienced for either breathwork modality you practiced? What, if any, were the greatest outcomes you experienced from your breathwork, per modality? What other symptoms did you experience in practicing your breathwork modalities? [describe as comfortable or uncomfortable]. Did you experience any subtle psychic insights that awakened you more spiritually, transpersonally or occultly in any manner? How so? Were such experiences fleeting, transitory, or were you able to maintain such skills over a period of time? Your replies can be as anonymous as you want them to be, just be truthful. Thank you, Dharma Research

Hari bol new7892001ji, I hope all is well for your family in every realm of life. We have mantras for any geography, culture or linguistic root. You can choose one from column A, or perhaps you will like two from column B. [?] YaddaWaddAnanda or YaddaWon WaddaBing to make you raise that kundalini thing. [?] Me not know much either, though I can speak to you with veracity that samadhi is close at hand. Kidding aside, once experienced, you'll know that samadhi was always very close by and always available, and despite the hysterionics of grandpompous vanity surfing ubiquitous in the fashionably yogi tourist routs, samadhi is as available now to you and me and everyone on this list as it is to anyone who is or may be enlightened today or in the past. Getting over the conceits that make us believe we are not already enlightened or that enlightenment is a lifestyle for others, not one's self, is a colossal step toward arriving at enlightenment for they are all lies frothing from tamas and are integral to the inner chatter born of pseudo-culture! Human form, sincerity, implicit faith, and determination are your guarantors for delivering yourself to enlightenment -- it's waiting for you, for us. Along with these, I can assure you that no matter what guru you find, if you do asanas regularly, pranayama like sharing the breath with a lover[god], and the rest of sahaj yoga, samadhi will most certainly come quickly, and along with it enlightenment. After regular practice of asanas for some time, months perhaps, find the best available chi kung / qi qong instructor, do chi kung from the standing sinking pose [surrounded by cushions in case you get samadhi while standing]. Truthful spiritual practices, asanas, then later chi kung: samadhi will be yours in short order, then there will be nothing you don't know or can't do [bodhi jinana / bodhi dharma], you and the Universe will be one, you, or the 'you' you will know then will be an instrument of the Universe, not metaphorically, rather in reality and fully aware of it. Every breath will be as a kiss with the Universe no longer objectified, rather subjectified in your mutual singularity, and whole galaxies will be born from your heart, in balance and spun fully with dharma and satyam. As a youngster I was a fan of Maharishi, Vedantic acharya, and recruited hundreds of people to involve TM in their lives. I've found a Tantrika guru since then and speak from my experience through his instruction and samkalpa. Finding your real guru is not an extroversive experience ... demand the guru's presence with you immediately and relinquish all selfishness concurrently. Your true guru and enlightenment most certainly will be yours promptly. Are you sincere? Then it will happen.

Nothing more than a thin veneer separates any entity from another in this vast Universe. As we develop rapport, respect acceptance of each other the ubiquity of love that precedes and sustains us rings true in our conscious awareness, even with animals. Those who practice yoga already, meditate on the singularity of the Universe, and relinquish all physical, material, psychic and social selfishness and tribalism already know this and act accordingly.

Vivisection. Shiva is credited with major inroads into medicine, including encouraging dissection of cadavers so humanity could discover the causes of diseases, explore solutions and discover preventive measures -- in contrast to the prevailing customs of that time. Today, we must apply the same philosophy toward menacing madness, including vivisection of bigots and moral retards, for both remedial discovery and immediate prevention. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to do such to Schmirking Chimp, Chimpster Chene-pully, or Flush Bimbo? A heart? Did some one find a heart?

Hari Om, Hearing the words 'sant' and 'saint', and understanding them to be synonyms, I wondered which one came first. Looking up 'saint' at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/saint, I didn't find anything pre-Greek mentioned about saint having any Indo-European roots other than at sak. Are their phonemic and meaning similarities solely a coincidence? What are your factual insights? Perhaps anyone fitting the description of saint or sant would have these as part of their credo: *I will help all beings in every way I can promptly without ulterior motive.* *I will not inflict pain or misfortune on anyone through my thoughts, words or deeds -- by commission or omission.* *If you meet anyone on the path of life who asks you to commit to such pledges, yet is the living contradiction of them in thought, word and deed consistently, assuredly they are indeed a menace to society, not to mention a fake.*

I agree, speaking in modernese was surely his intent, as once the vijanamaya kosa is more developed than or excelled to dominate the lower kosas, only escalated levels of universality, love and scientific processes remain prominent though every thought, word and deed. This and the fact that he was taking the TM mission to a large part of the world which is infused with Abahamic religiosity -- a spectrum of religion that has been responsible for a huge volume of the world's bigoted sectarian predation for thousands of years -- a more mature, more adult disposition, such as scientific, became imperative to capture the frame of mind of new prospects to reach inside their inner adult to deal with this sublime process in the manner appropriate for the homo sapien species instead of the baboonery associated with Abrahamic religious history.

He noted there really wasn't a huge difference between Hindu religious practices like the TM puja and TM and Roman Catholicism. One is the Cult of Shakti and Shakta, the other is a cult of the Virgin Mary and Jesus/the Father. In fact he details their religious (not scientific or non-sectarian) sameness: amongst Christians, the Catholic Church, like Hinduism, has a full and potent Sadhana in its sacraments (Samskara), temple (Church), private worship (Puja, Upasana) with Upacara bell, light and incense (Ghanta, Dipa, Dhupa), Images or Pratima (hence it has been called idolatrous), devotional rites such as Novenas and the like (Vrata), the threefold Angelus at morn, noon and evening (Samdhya), rosary (Japa), the wearing of Kavacas (Scapulars, Medals, Agnus Dei), pilgrimage (Tirtha), fasting, abstinence and mortification (Tapas), monastic renunciation (Samnyasa), meditation (Dhyana), ending in the union of mystical theology (Samadhi) and so forth. There are other smaller details such for instance as Shanti-abhisheka (Asperges) into which I need not enter here. I may, however, mention the Spiritual Director who occupies the place of the Guru; the worship (Hyperdulia) of the Virgin-Mother which made Svami Vivekananda call the Italian Catholics, Shaktas; and the use of wine (Madya) and bread (corresponding to Mudra) in the Eucharist or Communion Service. Whilst, however, the Blessed Virgin evokes devotion as warm as that which is here paid to Devi, she is not Devi for she is not God but a creature selected as the vehicle of His incarnation (Avatara). In the Eucharist the bread and wine are the body and blood of Christ appearing under the form or accidents of those material substances; so also Tara is Dravamayi, that is, the Saviour in liquid form. (Mahanirvana Tantra xi. 105-107.) In the Catholic Church (though the early practice was otherwise) the laity no longer take wine but bread only, the officiating priest consuming both. Whilst however the outward forms in this case are similar, the inner meaning is different. Those however who contend that eating and drinking are inconsistent with the dignity of worship may be reminded of Tertullian's saying that Christ instituted His great sacrament at a meal. These notions are those of the dualist with all his distinctions. For the Advaitin every function and act may be made a Yajña. Agape or Love Feasts, a kind of Cakra, were held in early times, and discontinued as orthodox practice, on account of abuses to which they led; though they are said still to exist in some of the smaller Christian sects of the day. There are other points of ritual which are peculiar to the Tantra Shastra and of which there is no counterpart in the Catholic ritual such as Nyasa and Yantra. Mantra exists in the form of prayer and as formulae of consecration, but otherwise the subject is conceived of differently here. There are certain gestures (Mudra) made in the ritual, as when consecrating, blessing, and so forth, but they are not so numerous or prominent as they are here. I may some day more fully develop these interesting analogies, but what I have said is for the present sufficient to establish the numerous similarities which exist between the Catholic and Indian Tantrik ritual. Because of these facts the reformed Christian sects have charged the Catholic Church with Paganism. It is in fact the inheritor of very ancient practices but is not necessarily the worse for that.

For the most part I agree, if you're referring to why most people join religions or stay with the one they were born into without doubting it, applying their vijanamaya kosa properly, whether toward their religion's premises or towards life generally. Before ideologies, before the advent of humans, whatever constituted the Universe preexisted, including the complementary mutuality of sexuality. In humans we may, and can have sex for more than reproductive reasons, and in that loving embrace fulfill every element of ashtaunga yoga, with right ideation. Everything in human evolution, anything and everything any religion could foster for a healthy humanity, any spiritual science could recognize and systematize for spiritual progress can, and most often is, done when two adults bond in transcendental rapport. Samadhi with a friend -- what a concept! Now, sex aside, with the mutuality of individual courage to achieve samadhi, mukti, moksha meditating in concert -- that transcends herdenstinian stupor. That is taking the sublimity of an exalted psychic stance further towards evolutionary excellence and lifting each and every person [involved] towards their desideratum. We must acknowledge that something more sublime than our derogation of the current, presumed, state of humanity or our community can have events that transcend our crude renditions. All too often folks whose native language is linear may also succumb to bipolarity as their virtual adharsha paradigm, which consequently affects how we comprehend as well as create. Enveloping the whole ovalature of the universe and all its permutations, we can better comprehend and transcend limiting thoughts and sentiments personally as well as rescue humanity from the same diseases. I make such remarks outside the scope of the study and its word and theme choices, neither defending it nor propagating it. Satya Of all that anyone leading or teaching has to convey, the most valuable thing to cultivate and convey to others is a moral conscience. Only such persons deserve to lead others, in any capacity.

*The Hugo Chavez Show - Tue, 11/25 at 9pm on PBS* FRONTLINE http://www.pbs.org/frontline/ - This Week: The Hugo Chavez Show (90 minutes), November 25th at 9pm on PBS (Check local listings) Earlier this year, veteran FRONTLINE producer Ofra Bikel flew south in search of one of Latin America's most controversial leaders -- a man who's famously denounced George W. Bush as the devil, praised Fidel Castro as a god, and used his country's vast oil wealth to further a revolutionary, often anti-American, agenda. Instead, Bikel found herself confronted with the host of one of the world's most unusual reality shows. In The Hugo Chavez Show, airing this Tuesday night (check local listings), Bikel examines the rise, reign, and peculiar made-for-TV charms of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. I couldn't talk to Chavez, Bikel says. So I had to find another source of getting to him. Since he has his weekly television show -'Hello, President'-- that lasts from five to eight hours at a time, that became my source. I watched hours and hours of them. I feel I got to know him very, very well. I don't think I ever listened to anyone in my life that much. What does Bikel make of this singing, dancing, bullying salesman for 21st century socialism? Why does Chavez conduct the most important business of state live on national television, hiring and firing cabinet ministers one minute, and ordering his generals to invade a neighboring country the next? Will the show go on if Chavez continues to fail to realize any of the revolutionary ideals he sings and dances about on TV? We hope you'll tune in Tuesday night.

Communism is a socioeconomic structure that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means of production and property in general. One of the problems of this claimed intention is that in the first stage, in the pre-communism stage, the socialist stage, of which both Lenin, Stalin and Mao said is made viable by the barrel of a gun, those ensconced in the infrastructure of that socialist paradigm wind up not wanting to give up their hold upon society and their bureaucratic comforts ... AVARICE! The same problem that caused the need for revolution against either socio-economic exploitation or the incestuous fornication between imperial governance and religious stupidification of the masses -- an incestuous fornication conjugating the rape of humanity. The same winds up happening as the imperial state of supposed comrades of the revolution. Communism demonstrates its a butt-scratcher's serenade of selective stupidification and opportunistic hypocrisy by forcing material wave and values to be the sole determinant of human worth ... the new paradigm doing the same old crap, and worse, to the masses and necessitates that any creativity, all the colorful splendors of human expression and thresholds of excellence are enemies of the state and enemies of the ideology. Marx himself may have been a humanitarian in search of a solution, particularly of exploitation of jews, whereas the psychodynamics, the reactionary disposition for constructing his theory wove its own ideological insufficiency and the perpetuity that anything that did not hold fast to the material wave and the communist ideology was an enemy, even inventiveness for doing a job better or making more vitally dynamic hybrid crops that could endure Russian winters.

Argue, arguing, argued. Staticity is the anchor upon which we do such things. While we may be, at least seemingly, sincere in our efforts to find a solution, an organic solution that lasts, beyond the morphings of time, place and person, we are using outmoded methods of exploring and presenting our points, points anchored in statiticy and clung to with vanity, conceit, deceit and protective that the constant present-day drunken stupor of complacency is anchored in the static pablum of unchallenged avarice. What is the best form of economy? What is the best form of governance? People search for what has, or is believed to have gone before in human society, yet the search by anyone nearly never goes beyond the trial and error of what history has recorded having been invented by the limited parameters of the human mind, and much of history is rife with baffles and blinders preventing the people of some societies from even acknowledging the existence of other cultures, past or present, or their excellencies in providing solutions that may be applied today across cultural lines to solve the incongruities and psycho-social diseases, ubiquitous or rare, within any given society today. Where can we find truly meaningful answers to the questions above? Whatever can be, whatever is possible, including a healthy human society, healthy in every realm of life, including economically, in life forms and life force, and politically is possible for all things possible have happened, are happening and will continue to happen everywhere at all times in the universe. How do we manifest the most expeditious experience of every realm of life, both human and beyond, to bring forth the most sublime experience possible here on Earth, and beyond? What works is already expressed in nature. Both plants and animals eat only as much as is necessary [aparigraha], maintain their health through appropriate -- for their species -- asanas, socialize for the most part, and attend to each other in both healing and nurturing, even when they do not have the same parents. Nature contains, in many different ways, the continuity or continuities that demonstrate what will work for a progressively forward-moving society where humans, and even other beings, can evolve in realms and in manners resplendent for their growth in every realm of life. With such awareness and with a continuum toward such fulfillment the paradigm of PROUT, or the Progressive Utilization Theory [http://PROUT.shows.it/]. Why do people still cling to the unconscionably beastly monster of communism as a desirable and admirable ideology, based upon reactionary dynamics, of which a new violent polar and perpendicular contrarianism, reactivism must result to defeat its exploitative and dehumanising essence. For true peace to prevail, for sentient peace to prevail, every realm of human existence, and the wellbeing of all animate beings and even inanimate objects must be accorded proper respect and maximum utilization of their potentialities within this very lifetime so they may attain the most sublime possibilities, most sublime thresholds in their evolutionary progression -- for humans that would be mukti/moksa, neither of which are relevant in either communism or capitalism.

Yes, even during the Jessup expeditions to Alaska and Siberia, in an effort to prove a connection between native Americans and upper east Asians, the folks on the Jessup expedition witnessed shamans removing their heads while dancing, tucking them under their arms, as the head continued singing while the body danced. Most everyone saw it, though what actually happened, in the material world, is still unsure. Mass hypnosis may be part of the shaman's skills. This could be similar to community-shared dreams as many non-materialistic Westerners experience throughout their lives. The Indian rope trick, where it seems that a great yogi climbs up a suspended rope floating in the air and disappears into the sky is an exercise in mass hypnosis, which is one reason why at such events the performers insist that they not be filmed, for the film would reveal that a rope gets thrown into the air, falls to the ground, while the performers stand still inducing synergistically the mass hypnosis upon the gullible public. However, true levitation does exist, some have done it with great ease, though somewhat unaware of how they did it. Occult faculties often become more conspicuous, especially proactive and projective occult skills, surrounding the time of puberty. To the most mundane of people, particularly those more materialistically inclined, puberty is simply the time when one develops the physiological skill to procreate, whereas more subtle insights into puberty show the vijna yogi to understand that puberty is a transitional moment when the human morphs from sublime receptivity into profound projective capabilities, of which sexual reproduction is just a small part. While the movie Carrie was the brainchild of a horror/occult author, and an imaginative movie producer, it is an exaggerated example of this projective capability at the time of puberty. Many years ago I had a chiropractic/naturopathic doctor who had invented a spinal alignment device, used suspended from a vertical wall, that both got the kinks out and made a straight spine a more steady experience throughout the user's day. One of his first five experimenters with the device experienced levitation. Upon arriving at a train station he found and ran towards his wife waiting for him, whereupon he began to fly above the surrounding people till he neared his wife and made a soft landing into her welcoming embrace. There were several witnesses to the event, none of whom knew or knew of either person though signed affidavits confirming they witnessed the whole levitation event. Dream-flying skills include some of the same faculties that make levitation. When I was a kid, as early as three years old and on through high school years, I flew in my dreams almost every night and was able to control the dreams, who I met and where we went. Working for the government, my family was transferred every few years to either new states or other countries, some times transferred with other families we were friends with, sometimes separated by new transfers. Some of my closest friends, who eventually were transferred to other countries, I shared dreams with -- verified when we talked on the phone when our parents contacted each other every couple months. Wanting to be true to our experience, we'd identify a unique or unusual experience time or event, indirectly verifying date and experience of the shared dreams, never missing confirming each other's experience. Often their parents would remark to me or my parents about their kids, my fiends, mentioning having a dream with me on a specific date and time that matched my own experience. It was during this period also that I had several experiences of levitation. Norman Cousins's testimony finally convinced the ever materialistic allopathic industry that indeed he had not only heard most every word the doctors and nurses said while performing surgery on him, but that he had also seen what they were doing, from below, as if looking up from his body, and by flying above them as if like a levitating ghost, able to see things from that vantage point that were impossible from where his body was. After centuries of testimony of this capability, throughout allopathy's history and for many centuries before, all such experiences were dismissed by the allopathic predators until one of their own, Dr Cousins, gave such striking details of facts he witnessed while under anesthesia during surgery. After I had spent more than a decade flying in my dreams, lucidly, I also experienced physically flying above my bed, which early on, in my wakefulness I thought had been experienced as dreams, not physicality. Then being aware, lucid, when I was in such a state, I looked for confirmation by 'flying' to a part of my room where I would have no way of climbing to the ceiling, 14 feet high, with any furniture in my room. I tore fragments of the farthest ceiling panel and brought them to my bed, upon which I'd find both the

Yes, Sal, yet it is a good fortune we're cooking. *LoL* A similar paradigm may have been implicated in math class, particularly either algebra or geometry. Early in the class the instructor tells the 'boys and girls' that lines, circles, etc. are contituted by the alignment [imaginary] of various points in a continuity, while the chalkboard upon which they are drawn is constituted of an infinite number of points, just on the chalk board alone. A wise person, even a child, having a polished vijnanamaya kosa well exercised and comfortable with it, will hear such words and apply the principles to the whole universe and more closely, everything the student, the wise student, touches and perceives in everyday life.

Thank you very much for this announcement, I am interested in viewing the video(s) from this event. We are meditators, we are yogis. As such experimenters of the subtle and even subtler realms of the mind, our experiences can inform physicist and other materialists about the continuity of the universe and the precedent principles by which discoveries, including material discoveries, will both begin from, be discovered in and what can and will be the sequences in the continuities of discoveries and inventions. The quote below from the website is demonstrative of looking at the fifth dimension from the outer edges of the fourth dimension, near where they intersect. Any realm, such as dimensions and kosas, can be subdivided into, at least, three realms of subtlety. Each realm of kosa is perceived, is objectified from the next dimension or kosa, so, you know of the third dimension because you are, at least, in the shallow third of the fourth dimension. What is the shallow end of the fourth dimension? The shallow realm of the fourth dimension is an object, generically a sphere, spinning on its axis. While a self-aware sphere may not know it is spinning, further explorations into, and objectification from subtler realms of the fourth dimension will witness, through self-objectification or from an other observation perspective, that relative to other inertia, particularly seemingly static inertia, the relativity of that sphere spinning on its axis is compared and contrasted with the surrounding inertia. From within that spinning sphere, a revolving canopy of change may be found to have consistent patterns to it, thus, an entity, such as people on Earth who may not have yet surmised that the Earth is a revolving unit, may witness patterns of constellations in the sky consistently recurring in two or more symmetrical or asymmetrical patterns from day to day or night to night. This is a way of perceiving the shallow end of the fourth dimension from the banality of the third dimension. This description below is similar to the latter described above in that it indicates the anticipated perspective of experiencing the fifth dimension from the purview of the fourth: *The Unified Field, according to modern physics, is the deepest, most powerful level of Nature's functioning—and the source of the infinite creativity and intelligence within every individual and displayed throughout the universe.* When it seems that this seeming truism is being perceived properly, and if it is so, then it will be at the shallow end of the fifth dimension, a dimension in which time, space and materiality are alterable and can be resequenced, such as when the future precedes the past. Materially it seems somewhat like this, though more exploration must be done, when physicists have attempted to teleport photons. So far their observations indicate, it seems, that the target point of teleportation manifests the object before the original item from the source location disappears, the shallow tangency of this principle. This buggers the question as to whether an item is actually being teleported or whether a replica is being manifested. This fact will not be found in the shallow third of the fifth dimension but in the middle or subtlest third of the fifth dimension. The subtlest realm of the fifth dimension or perhaps in a sixth dimension will indicate how a person's next life may be backwards in time relative to where they currently are, or seem to be, incarnate in the current life. What a yogi knows and can do with their mind can and will be done through physics. As they explore further they will find also how full-featured teleportation of objects and people can be performed and done in a bundle through field containment as a package, i.e. a vehicle and the people within it can be teleported, either at a distance in time, i.e. through time and space, through the middle or subtler realm of the fifth dimension. Explorations within and discoveries related to these capabilities will escalate as scientists, or those currently wearing that moniker, awaken to the fact that 'Black Holes' are everywhere, and as such can be used to teleport both energies and matter forward and backward in time, transport objects and life forms materially faster than the speed of light, and rewrite the material facts of any situation. These may be things that some scientists already know and have done, confined, perhaps, in something like Black Operations programs. Next in line will be the material science's proof of reincarnation, which may involve the subtlest realm of the fifth dimension or may be within or tangent to the sixth dimension, if there is one. How can all of this be known, and known without the permission of the grandpompously conceited lab lords of what you're permitted to know or believe? Through the subtle science of Tantra, but of course. No copying-pasting here, this stuff comes from personal experience and that is because

It celebrates the 40th anniversary of the song, the 45th anniversary of NASA's Deep Space Network, which communicates with its distant probes, and the 50th anniversary of NASA. Send my love to the aliens, Paul McCartney told NASA through a Beatles historian. All the best, Paul. The song, written by McCartney and John Lennon, may have a ticket to ride and will be flying at the speed of light. But it will take 431 years along a long and winding road to reach its final destination. That's because Polaris is 2.5 quadrillion miles away. NASA loaded an MP3 of the song, just under four minutes in its original version, and will transmit it digitally at 7 p.m. EST Monday from its giant antenna in Madrid, Spain. But if you wanted to hear it on Polaris, you would need an antenna and a receiver to convert it back to music, the same way people receive satellite television. The idea came from Martin Lewis, a Los Angeles-based Beatles historian, who then got permission from McCartney, Yoko Ono and the two companies that own the rights to Beatles' music. One of those companies, Apple, was happy to approve the idea because is always looking for new markets, Lewis said. Perhaps coincidentally, the song's launching comes a day before the release of the DVD of the Julie Taymor movie named after the Beatles hit.

Does anyone have a brief description and/or link of MMY's experience with yoga/meditation before establishing TM? A bit more than having spent two years in seclusion or as a longtime secretary to a leading Hindu sage. What other journeys and explorations did he have before establishing TM? *When you assume a threshold of being that is expansive enough to contain the universe, then the universe is within you, accessible in whole along with all its talents and charms. Do not hesitate another moment to acknowledge this loving magnanimity within you and express this satyam through your service to humanity.* ** *Now that you know this sublime truth, the world awaits your advent, now.*

In the earliest discoveries and explorations of any realm subtler than what one is familiar with, the 'folds' of the subtler dimension are, at best, the only perceivable by such minds. As the mind dilates further this perception threshold becomes more intrinsic in their perspective, less exotic as subtler realms are pursued further. What they are referring to, and what the Princeton Egg experiment is rubbing shoulders with is indeed the outer folds of the fifth dimension, whereas a mind ensconced in the fifth dimension, the realm where time is both past, present and future, and future may well be witnessed as happening before the past has even been conceived. When people dream they involve the fifth dimension at times, including in the ability to astral travel, to witness remote locations, whether asleep or awake, to foresee or dream future events and to witness things occurring in remote locations beyond the mundane realms of their sensual capacities.

Samadhi Is Much Closer Than You Think -- Really! -- It's A No-Brainer. Who'd've Thunk It?
Hello Jeffrey, Levitating our own bodies, another life form's or a [seemingly] inanimate object will have to do, in part, to quantum physics. Today physicists are inclined to perceive gravity as a field or fields of waves, much the same as magnetic waves as we see with iron filings on a sheet of paper with an elongated magnet on the other side of the paper. Thus, reorienting such fields can and will result in levitating oneself or others. How this can be done can seem rather clinical, though it must be said that, other than an emergency, yet even within emergencies as well, levitation, at best, results from sublime love steady and constant. More exactingly, and demonstrative of this steady love, the key players in yogic terms of causing levitation include, at the forefront of its cause: pratyahara, dharana, pranayama, and ishvara pranidhana. Levitation can also be a symptom of raising the kundalini above the third chakra. The quakes some people experience during deep concentration, the ones that seem like the Earth is shaking when in fact it is not occur when the kundalini transcends the upper portions of the 3rd chakra on its way to the 4th. When you experience levitation it will resemble, greatly so, the feelings of fluent flying in your dreams. Everyone does it, though not everyone remembers doing it when they are awake. For people who do remember flying in their dreams, and even more so when they are lucidly aware of flying while it's happening and have learned to control their flight, can choose their location and destination and the company they keep while flying, the feeling they get while flying in their dreams closely resembles what it feels like when levitating. At the moments when levitation occurs, something of an effervescent sparkle flutters from the top of the belly below the sternum up to, at least, the heart, and quite probably the throat, lips and into the nostrils. It may even feel like you are inhaling something special at such moments, something subtly sweet and soft as well as effervescent, and a sweet juice exudes below the tongue. While Sci-fi special effects on TV may or may not come from someone who has actually experienced what is portrayed in the movies, that light show you see in the torsos of people on Star Trek when teleporting is just beginning closely resembles the kinesthetic experience you have just as levitation, and other occult capabilities, are about to begin. If you are comfortable with flying in your dreams, and you can create the experience while awake, you are most of the way toward inducing levitation for the prana is flowing just right to make it reality for you. Subtle confirmation within that you accept the opportunity to fly physically will help create the reality. When a person, early in their practice in making levitation real, is feeling the moment when it seems about to occur, preserving the equilibrium of both mind, body and prana, mudras may facilitate fulfilling the occurrence, especially of arms and eyes. Most likely arms close to and in front of the chest will facilitate levitation during wakefulness, and typically, while eyes are open or closed, they may be moved up and back even while looking straight ahead or upwards. The eyes serve as a controlling device, a tuner, much like the tongue does, especially when applied to the roof of the mouth. It's often found that looking down, especially too quickly or out of shock when realizing you are levitating will force your body to the ground too quickly, so be careful with your gaze and eye direction till you gain more experience through practice. A common way of buffering a fall from gazing downward will be to look straight ahead and extend your arms out from your belly as though they were laid upon the arms of an armchair, palms downward applying mild pressure. With practice arm or leg mudras will not be necessary anymore. As for the mundane physics of levitation, it may become a bit more common within our lifetimes. The magnetic resonance of Earth, called the Schumann factor, has been measured and just a few decades was marked at 32 [of what I don't remember], while the magnetic resonance of humans is typically in the low 20s. [If there's a name for human magnetic resonance I don't remember what it is, please post what it is if anyone knows.] Currently the magnetic resonance of Earth is somewhere in the mid or low 20s. The closer these two match, the greater an increase such synchrony will synergize to facilitate many occult capabilities of humans, even for those who are not well practiced or well prepared for their occurrence. With such a matching resonance empathy across the planet will be hugely enhanced as will communication with others harmonic within this matrix.

Now the German space agency is preparing for a mission to the moon. Walter Doellinger, the head of the German Space Program, says it will be ready to send an unmanned space shuttle into orbit around the moon by 2013. The German's have their own cover story for making this incredibly expensive journey: Doellinger says, We want to show that Germany has the know-how. http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/?id=6032 *Russia sees moon plot in NASA plans* By Adrian Blomfield in Moscow 02/05/2007 Mankind's second race for the moon took on a distinctly Cold War feel yesterday when the Russian space agency accused its old rival Nasa of rejecting a proposal for joint lunar exploration. The claim comes amid suspicion in Moscow that the United States is seeking to deny Russia access to an isotope in abundance under the moon's surface that many believe could replace fossil fuels and even end the threat of global warming. A new era of international co-operation in space supposedly dawned after the United States, Russia and other powers declared their intention to send humans to the moon for the first time since 1972. But while Nasa has lobbied for support from Britain and the European Space Agency, Russia claims its offers have been rebuffed. Yesterday Anatoly Perminov, the head of Russia's Federal Space Agency Roscosmos, said: We are ready to co-operate but for some reason the United States has announced that it will carry out the programme itself. Strange as it is, the United States is short of experts to implement the programme. Nasa announced in December that it was planning to build an international base camp on one of the Moon's poles, permanently staffing it by 2024. Russia's space rocket manufacturer Energia revealed an even more ambitious programme last August, saying it would build a permanent Moon base by 2015. While the Americans have either been coy or dismissive on the subject, Russia openly says the main purpose of its lunar programme is the industrial extraction of helium-3. Dismissed by critics as a 21st-century equivalent of the medieval alchemist's fruitless quest to turn lead into gold, some scientists say helium-3 could be the answer to the world's energy woes. A non-radioactive isotope of helium, helium-3 is a proven and potent fuel for nuclear fusion - so potent that just six metric tons would supply Britain with enough energy for a year. As helium-3 is non-polluting and is so effective in such tiny quantities, many countries are taking it very seriously. Germany, India and China, which will launch a lunar probe to research extraction techniques in September, are all studying ways to mine the isotope. Whoever conquers the moon first will be the first to benefit, said Ouyang Ziyuan, the chief scientist of China's lunar programme. Energia says it will start industrial scale delivery of helium-3, transported by cargo space ships via the International Space Station, no later than 2020. Gazprom, the state-owned energy giant directly controlled by the Kremlin, is said to be strongly supportive of the project. The United States has appeared much more cautious, not least because scientists are yet to discover the secrets of large scale nuclear fusion. Commercial fusion reactors look unlikely to come on line before the second half of this century. But many officials in Moscow's space programme believe Washington's lunar agenda is driven by a desire to monopolise helium-3 mining. They allege that President Bush has moved helium-3 experts into key positions on Nasa's advisory council. The plot, says Erik Galimov, an academic with the Russian Academy of Sciences, would enable the US to establish its control of the energy market 20 years from now and put the rest of the world on its knees as hydrocarbons run out. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/core/Content/displayPrintable.jhtml;jsessionid=ZEVRXPOZALR1FQFIQMFCFGGAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2007/05/01/wmoon01.xmlsite=5page=0 *Journey to the Dark Side* We've been wondering if the familiar man in the moon image will become disfigured when Russia, China and the US arrive on the moon and start scooping up the valuable Helium 3 fuel lying on the surface.

Well, of course, proximity to enlightenment will facilitate siddhis, sought or not. For some people, the burgeoning presence of siddhis is a confirmation that god exists, or leads them in that direction, that the love they've been searching for has finally come to reside in their heart, and the siddhis that have come with that are simply instruments of performing even better service for others, many of whom may not even know the yogi involved. Any more exactitude to the answer, especially down to a yes/no is too much ensconced in a materialistic worldview. The rarity of siddhis makes them more mysterious, it's the loving intimacy that matters most, devotion. People in love with each other also develop siddhis, some times confined only with each other, some times benevolent towards the whole world. Many enterprising people have siddhis, often through most of their life, though do not have the good company of others to share these matters with more openly. *When Shakyamuni Buddha was at Mount Grdhrakuta, he held up a flower to his listeners. Everyone was silent. Only Mahakashyapa broke into a broad smile. The Buddha said, **I have the True Dharma Eye, the Marvelous Mind of Nirvana, the True Form of the Formless, and the Subtle Dharma Gate, independent of words and transmitted beyond doctrine. This I have entrusted to Mahakashyapa .* On 12/12/07, TurquoiseB [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It would be silly of me not to have noticed the somewhat...uh...angry reactions that come up on this board from time to time when I talk about the weird things (siddhis) I and others exper- ienced around Rama (Frederick Lenz). Here is a speculation as to where they might be coming from. I think a lot of it has to do with Rama's rep. He was vilified in the press as a cult leader, as someone who slept with his female students, and many other things. I can say without reser- vation that many of these things were true, and could add a great number of other stories from my own experience that indicate that the dude was occasionally a real slimeball, with a drug dependency towards the end of his life and an ego on him the size of Texas. HOWEVER, at other times he could meditate so powerfully that if you were in the same room with him, it was almost *impossible* to have a thought; clear, thoughtless samadhi was your *only* option. ALSO, he was able to perform siddhis like levitating, disappearing, flying through the air, opening dimensions to other planes of reality, etc. so powerfully that up to hundreds of people at a time saw and exper- ienced them. He was able to do this not only with students who wanted to believe in these things, but in public talks where half the audience were skeptics. The skeptics saw these things, too. So go figure, eh? I honestly think that what offends a lot of people about the Rama guy and stories of the siddhis that people saw him perform is that they have this idea in their heads that either 1) the ability to perform siddhis is linked to enlightenment, or 2) the those who can perform siddhis are 'supposed to be' more evolved or beyond stuff like sleeping with their students, or 3) both. What bothers them is that there is a strong like- lihood that Rama was a bit of a charlatan and a bit of a rogue and *none* of the things that they visualize when they think of an enlightened teacher, AND YET HE COULD DO THIS STUFF ANYWAY. Welcome to the conundrum. That, as far as I can tell, is the truth about the dude. I was around him for many years, and there is no question in my mind that he was at times a charlatan, at times a slimeball, and at other times able to manifest some of the coolest siddhis in the spiritual canon. Go figure. What does this mean? Well, to me it means that all the stuff about siddhis being of necessity linked to enlightenment are an enormous pile of steaming crap. That's simply not true. Siddhis are siddhis and enlightenment is enlightenment, and there is no one-to-one link between them. Histor- ically, some teachers regarded as enlightened manifested siddhis, and others did not. Equally historically, many of those who can manifest the siddhis are open and honest about the fact that they are *not* enlightened; they just know how to do these siddhis. I've had some limited exper- ience with manifesting minor siddhis myself, and I'm *certainly* not enlightened on any kind of permanent basis. The other thing that drives some people up the wall when I talk about the Rama dude is that he offends them morally. They have major problems with what he represents, and thus they have major problems with believing that he could *also* do something like manifest real siddhis. They'd prefer to believe in something far more unlikely, that he had the ability to somehow hypnotize hundreds of people at once, some of them members of the press. What I'm trying to suggest is that there seems to have been NO PROBLEM

From what I've witnessed in life your various assertions about the socio-religious cults seem to be what I've witnessed -- when confined within my, and perhaps yours, hardened and specific values. There's a spectrum of perspectives and sentiments humans can experience, and do, that are out of the purview of any individual, any hardenedly ensconced cultural paradigm. Having spanned the spectrum of what I've witnessed among so many cultures, not at those cultures but from within those cultures before I wrote my previous remarks, I spoke and speak of what I've witnessed and am clear of what I have said. In fact, the contentious responses I've witnessed hundreds of thousands of times by and from less magnanimous minds over the decades were anticipated again from having posted my remark about other flavors respecting women, womanhood and motherhood from different paradigms would be met with culturally chauvinistic convulsions from less magnanimous minds not positively affected by or less positively affected by the vistara that proper meditation brings through its capabilities to harmonize subjectivity and objectivity, introversion and extroversion to hold more lovingly truthfulness than any unconscionable vanity of body harboring cultural chauvinisms within that are denied without for others deemed inferior or exotic without further investigation borne of sincerity and magnanimity.

People who truly understand and respect the feminine, including traditions that worship the divine feminine, do not restrict the female to the role of mother and do not exclude the female from decision-making processes in society. They also celebrate the birth of both girls and boys (there is no distinction between mothers of women and mothers of men) - how many millions of baby girls are either aborted or even killed after birth in Asia and Africa purely for being girls not boys.

The Mothers of Men are a few rajeswaris, most of whom aren't mothers of anything, all of whom have several hard working servants assigned to them -- that stuff about women staying at home floating in bliss applies to women with only -- and IMO even the Rajas don't really have any power in the mov't

One of the theories regarding 9/11 is that there is a war going on within the US military. Two opposing factions are waring with each other and 9/11 was part of the war game gone out of control. That would mean we have an unstable military and certainly foreign countries would be aware of it. It is also theorized that the B-52 with the nukes that flew across the country a couple months back was destined to use those in Iraq and there was a mutiny over it (some crew members wound up having accidents.). That too might be a clue if there is such a thing going on. And I don't think it would be hard to keep it somewhat secret and what slips out seems so far fetched people don't pass it on.

*Fueling tips at the pump from an industry insider.* -- TIP #1: Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the eveningyour gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps. TIP #2: When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money. TIP #3: One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount. TIP #4: VERY IMPORTANT: Another reminder. If there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up -- most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom, thus compromising your engine should you get some of that crap into your tank. Hope this will help you get the most value for your money. *They are educated who have learned much, remembered much, and make use of their knowledge in everyday life.

Great find, thanks for the link. After a year or so of meditation, I used to wake up from subtle dreams in a horizontal version of jnanasana, either leg crossed and either arm, complementary to the folded leg, extended parallel to the floor and above the head. In the dreams I'd wake up from I'd witness an oval-shaped blue orb, polished, above my head [lengthwise], my hand in my dream polishing this blue orb tenderly while contemplating the enormity of the universe and the ubiquity of love. At this time I'd also learned a lesson in tattva dharana and within weeks was able to pass my hand along the front of the body, feeling the radiance of each chakra, while in this dream state I could feel the projective radiance of the eighth chakra around a foot or more above my head.

Thanks for your insight, Rick. I used to work at a marina, I could witness first hand how the heat affects the spatial dispersion of gasoline, despite the tanks being deep in the ground. Fill a 5 US gallon tank in the heat of the day, let it sit overnight in the chill and humidity of very cold weather, then check to see how much gas was in the tank. Some times as much as a gallon had disappeared, out of being topped off at slightly more than 5 gallons in the hottest period of the day. I read something a few days ago that most or all tanks are regulated to be 60 feet into the ground, though in the context, I don't know if that was a federal mandate or a state mandate.

*Are we missing a dimension of time?* * *Roger Highfield Telegraph Media Group Limited October 10, 2007 *Could hypertime help develop a theory of everything? * *Roger Highfield reports* A scientist has put forward the bizarre suggestion that there are two dimensions of time, not the one that we are all familiar with, and even proposed a way to test his heretical idea next year. Time is no longer a simple line from the past to the future, in a four dimensional world consisting of three dimensions of space and one of time. Instead, the physicist envisages the passage of history as curves embedded in a six dimensions, with four of space and two of time. There isn't just one dimension of time, Itzhak Bars of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles tells New Scientist. There are two. One whole dimension of time and another of space have until now gone entirely unnoticed by us. [image: Two-Time Physics diagram] Itzhak Bars' two time physics diagram Bars claims his theory of two time physics, which he has developed over more than a decade, can help solve problems with current theories of the cosmos and, crucially, has true predictive power that can be tested in a forthcoming particle physics experiment. If it is confirmed, it could point the way to a theory of everything that unites all the physical laws of the universe into one, notably general relativity that governs gravity and the large scale structure of the universe, and quantum theory that rules the subatomic world. In the quest for that all embracing theory, scientists have been adding extra dimensions of space to their equations for decades. As early as the 1920s, mathematicians found that moving up to four dimensions of space, instead of the three we experience, helped in their quest to reconcile theories of electromagnetism and gravity. Today, theoreticians are studying a theory of everything called M-theory that adds yet another dimension, taking the total to 11: 10 of space and one of time. Until now, they have been reluctant to meddle with time because it can lead to unexpected consequences, such as time travel. Changing our picture of time from a line to a plane (one to two dimensions) means that the path between the past and future could loop back on itself, allowing you to travel back and forwards in time and allowing the famous grandfather paradox, where you could go back and kill your grandfather before your mother was born, thereby preventing your own birth. Bars first found hints of an extra time dimension in M-theory in 1995 and, when he looked into it, discovered the grandfather paradox and other fears could be overcome by using a new kind of symmetry - a mathematical property to work out the relationship between the quantities of position and momentum. It is this symmetry that might help reconcile the two mighty pillars of 20th-century physics, quantum mechanics and relativity. Simply adding an extra dimension of time doesn't solve everything, however. To produce equations that work with the new symmetry that describe the world accurately, an additional dimension of space is needed as well, giving a total of four space dimensions, he explained in the journal Physical Review D. According to Bars, the familiar four dimensional world we see around us is merely a shadow of the six-dimensional reality, just as a hand makes many different shadows on a wall when lit from different angles. Although we cannot experience the extra time dimension directly, we can effectively notice it through the different perspectives of the different shadows. In this sense, he points to already existing evidence of physical phenomena at both macroscopic and microscopic scales. Furthermore, he believes that more evidence for his theory could emerge next year, when particles are smashed together in CERN's Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland to create hitherto unseen supersymmetric particles. The work poses a question: is his proposal a mathematical fix, rather than a real physical entity? Bars insists his extra dimensions are more than mathematical sleight of hand. Absolutely not, he told New Scientist. These extra dimensions are out there, as real as the three dimensions of space and one of time we experience directly. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/10/10/scitime110.xml

*Many States Seen Facing Water Shortages -- Demonstrating A Global Problem* By BRIAN SKOLOFF, Associated Press Writer WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - An epic drought in Georgia threatens the water supply for millions. Florida doesn't have nearly enough water for its expected population boom. The Great Lakes are shrinking. Upstate New York's reservoirs have dropped to record lows. And in the West, the Sierra Nevada snowpack is melting faster each year. Across America, the picture is critically clear — the nation's freshwater supplies can no longer quench its thirst. The government projects that at least 36 states will face water shortages within five years because of a combination of rising temperatures, drought, population growth, urban sprawl, waste and excess. Is it a crisis? If we don't do some decent water planning, it could be, said Jack Hoffbuhr, executive director of the Denver-based American Water Works Association. Water managers will need to take bold steps to keep taps flowing, including conservation, recycling, desalination and stricter controls on development. We've hit a remarkable moment, said Barry Nelson, a senior policy analyst with the Natural Resources Defense Council. The last century was the century of water engineering. The next century is going to have to be the century of water efficiency. The price tag for ensuring a reliable water supply could be staggering. Experts estimate that just upgrading pipes to handle new supplies could cost the nation $300 billion over 30 years. Unfortunately, there's just not going to be any more cheap water, said Randy Brown, Pompano Beach's utilities director. It's not just America's problem — it's global. Australia is in the midst of a 30-year dry spell, and population growth in urban centers of sub-Saharan Africa is straining resources. Asia has 60 percent of the world's population, but only about 30 percent of its freshwater. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations network of scientists, said this year that by 2050 up to 2 billion people worldwide could be facing major water shortages. The U.S. used more than 148 trillion gallons of water in 2000, the latest figures available from the U.S. Geological Survey. That includes residential, commercial, agriculture, manufacturing and every other use — almost 500,000 gallons per person. Coastal states like Florida and California face a water crisis not only from increased demand, but also from rising temperatures that are causing glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise. Higher temperatures mean more water lost to evaporation. And rising seas could push saltwater into underground sources of freshwater. Florida represents perhaps the nation's greatest water irony. A hundred years ago, the state's biggest problem was it had too much water. But decades of dikes, dams and water diversions have turned swamps into cities. Little land is left to store water during wet seasons, and so much of the landscape has been paved over that water can no longer penetrate the ground in some places to recharge aquifers. As a result, the state is forced to flush millions of gallons of excess into the ocean to prevent flooding. Also, the state dumps hundreds of billions of gallons a year of treated wastewater into the Atlantic through pipes — water that could otherwise be used for irrigation. Florida's environmental chief, Michael Sole, is seeking legislative action to get municipalities to reuse the wastewater. As these communities grow, instead of developing new water with new treatment systems, why not better manage the commodity they already have and produce an environmental benefit at the same time? Sole said. Florida leads the nation in water reuse by reclaiming some 240 billion gallons annually, but it is not nearly enough, Sole said. Floridians use about 2.4 trillion gallons of water a year. The state projects that by 2025, the population will have increased 34 percent from about 18 million to more than 24 million people, pushing annual demand for water to nearly 3.3 trillion gallons. More than half of the state's expected population boom is projected in a three-county area that includes Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, where water use is already about 1.5 trillion gallons a year. We just passed a crossroads. The chief water sources are basically gone, said John Mulliken, director of water supply for the South Florida Water Management District. We really are at a critical moment in Florida history. In addition to recycling and conservation, technology holds promise. There are more than 1,000 desalination plants in the U.S., many in the Sunbelt, where baby boomers are retiring at a dizzying rate. The Tampa Bay Seawater Desalination Plant is producing about 25 million gallons a day of fresh drinking water, about 10 percent of that area's demand. The $158 million facility is North America's largest plant of its kind. Miami-Dade County is working with the city of Hialeah to

The mini-documentary lifts the lid on how the backlash against rampant illegal immigration in America is a major concern for the Bilderberg Group, posing a threat to their plans to lower the living standards of U.S. citizens of all colors and creeds into second or even third world status. What is the real agenda behind last year's massive pro-illegal immigration demonstrations and who is really behind them? Battle For the Republic traces the legacy of the movement back to the Plan of San Diego, a shocking blueprint for race-based genocide directed against blacks and whites in America. The goal is to divide America by bankrolling the Aztlan movement, an extremist separatist plan on behalf of Mexican Ku Klux Klan style groups like Mecha and La Raza to reclaim the southern and western U.S. states, in order to eventually merge America, Canada and Mexico into a North American Union. Battle For The Republic shoots down the myth that Mexico has any rightful claim to the south western states by carefully documenting the history of how the west was won, bringing it up to the modern day and highlighting how the elite are using the enraged Mexican mobs as a weapon of conquest to slit America's throat and sacrifice its sovereignty on the altar of globalism. Hispanic Radio and TV stations owned by huge corporations based in New York spew hatred and division as Mexicans are radicalized and told that all their problems stem from the racist American middle class while ignoring the fact that the elite are the true cause of their misery, as taxpayers are sucked dry to fund welfare which only subsidizes the corporations that employ the illegals. Illegal aliens are being granted God-like status by the elite and given rights that super seed those of American citizens. The film highlights the case of a man who was assaulted and arrested by police for expressing his first amendment right to disagree with thousands of illegal aliens marching in downtown Seattle, and how illegals who assaulted him and smashed his car were left completely alone while throngs of Mexicans cheered as an American was taken to jail for exercising his freedom of speech.

[FairfieldLife] War Protests: Why No Coverage?
2007-10-31

Samadhi Is Much Closer Than You Think -- Really! -- It's A No-Brainer. Who'd've Thunk It?
*War Protests: Why No Coverage?* By Jerry Lanson Christian Science Monitor October 30, 2007 Newspapers have a duty to inform citizens about such democratic events. *Boston* - Coordinated antiwar protests in at least 11 American cities this weekend raised anew an interesting question about the nature of news coverage: Are the media ignoring rallies against the Iraq war because of their low turnout or is the turnout dampened by the lack of news coverage? I find it unsettling that I even have to consider the question. That most Americans oppose the war in Iraq is well established. The latest CBS News poll, in mid-October, found 26 percent of those polled approved of the way the president is handling the war and 67 percent disapproved. It found that 45 percent said they'd only be willing to keep large numbers of US troops in Iraq for less than a year. And an ABC News-Washington Post poll in late September found that 55 percent felt Democrats in Congress had not gone far enough in opposing the war. Granted, neither poll asked specifically about what this weekend's marchers wanted: An end to congressional funding for the war. Still, poll after poll has found substantial discontent with a war that ranks as the preeminent issue in the presidential campaign. Given that context, it seems remarkable to me that in some of the 11 cities in which protests were held – Boston and New York, for example – major news outlets treated this National Day of Action as though it did not exist. As far as I can tell, neither The New York Times nor The Boston Globe had so much as a news brief about the march in the days leading up to it. The day after, The Times, at least in its national edition, totally ignored the thousands who marched in New York and the tens of thousands who marched nationwide. The Globe relegated the news of 10,000 spirited citizens (including me) marching through Boston's rain-dampened streets to a short piece deep inside its metro section. A single sentence noted the event's national context. As a former newspaper editor, I was most taken aback by the silence beforehand. Surely any march of widespread interest warrants a brief news item to let people know that the event is taking place and that they can participate. It's called advancing the news, and it has a time-honored place in American newsrooms. With prescient irony, Frank Rich wrote in his Oct. 14 Times column, We can continue to blame the Bush administration for the horrors of Iraq.… But we must also examine our own responsibility. And, he goes on to suggest, we must examine our own silence. So why would Mr. Rich's news colleagues deprive people of information needed to take exactly that responsibility? I'm not suggesting here that the Times or any news organization should be in collusion with a movement – pro-war or antiwar, pro-choice or pro-life, pro-government or pro-privatization. I am suggesting that news organizations cover the news – that they inform the public about any widespread effort to give voice to those who share a widely held view about any major national issue. If it had been a pro-war group that had organized a series of support marches this weekend, I'd have felt the same way. Like the National Day of Action, their efforts would have been news – news of how people can participate in a democracy overrun with campaign platitudes and big-plate fundraisers, news that keeps democracy vibrant, news that keeps it healthy. Joseph Pulitzer, the editor and publisher for whom the highest honor in journalism is named, understood this well. In May 1904, he wrote: Our Republic and its press rise or fall together. An able, disinterested, public-spirited press … can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery.… The power to mould the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations. It's time for the current generation of journalists – at times seemingly obsessed with Martha Stewart, O.J. Simpson, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and the like – to use that power more vigilantly, and more firmly, with the public interest in mind. • Jerry Lanson is a professor of journalism at Emerson College in Boston.

The thing is, heir hugo, that that is exactly what happened, over approximately a 2 year period, performed by a company headed by DumbDung's younger brother. Whole floors of offices were temporarily relocated to perform the rework that preceded the demolition of each tower. Funny [*NOT*] how such is not and continues not to get any news. Oh, and the DumbDung's lil' brother? He's in charge of security at the twin towers at the time of the demolition.

The reverse implication being that people had got inside the building and wired it to collapse as in a proper demolition job, I think those working inside might have noticed the cables pulling the alls together and asked a few questions about the explosives needed.

But that's just me. To me there are certain big issues that seem to be inadequately explained by the anti-conspiracy explanations. Just off the top of my head, here's the issues that most bother me even after all my research lite. 1. The pancaking of the floors happened so well that any demolition company that had had the job would have been given an extra bonus for not harming the surrounding buildings by having a whole tower fall like a tree -- sideways. Both towers fell straight down for the most part. Probably designed to collapse like that rather than fall over and possibly killing millions. The reverse implication being that people had got inside the building and wired it to collapse as in a proper demolition job, I think those working inside might have noticed the cables pulling the alls together and asked a few questions about the explosives needed. 2. This pancaking is seen to be perfectly happening in the fall of Building Seven also. After Building Seven fell, an official being interviewed admits ON CAMERA that yeah, we pulled it. But no one can pull a building and have it pancake down like Building Seven without MONTHS OF PLANNING. A few fire officials and firemen/women could NEVER have put anything in place that would have allowed for the building to be imploded -- and they're firemen/women NOT explosives experts. Again, vibrations in the superstructure damaged the metal frame and it collapsed, it looks suspicious but if it was part of an inside jbo why bother with that building? why not just be happy that the WTC fell down as planned? 3. The hole in the Pentagon walls all the way to the inner rings can't be explained by ANY large aircraft, but is easily explained by a rocket attack. A lot of people saw the plane hit, it wasn't a rocket. The wings were blown off backwards by the force of the impact, they are there in the wreckage of the plane. 4. The reactions of Bush when the news got to him. Shock is my guess, lets be honest, how many here didn't stand slack jawed for a minute or two when they heard the news. Imagine being the guy who has to sort it out and come up with some sort of response, I don't like him but I don't envy him either. 5. The non-reactions of shoot 'em down warcraft that didn't scramble in any fashion I would call what the Air Force is supposed to do. That's an easy one, they didn't know what was going on til it was all over. If you missed the movie United 93 watch it as it stars, playing themselves, all the people from airtraffic control in new york, you really get an idea of the confusion and shock, it's all taken from recordings of what happened. It's a superb film anyway, both depressing yet uplifting in it's depiction of true bravery. 6. The Saudi family being allowed to fly a plane when all the other planes were grounded. Money talks. Too much is made of the fact it was relatives of Bin Laden being flown out, he had been exiled from Saudi for a while by this time. The thing stinks with muddy issues. But 9-11 was merely a blip on Evil's radar screen. The one thing that Bill Maher and Bill Clinton have not addressed in their debunking efforts is the fact that the USA is a country that tortures whole nations with carnage upon the innocents. The idea that Americans in high places could never do such a thing as an inside job, is so unbelievably untrue given even the history allowed to be reported in the USA. We

*Dramatic NASA Video of Melting Arctic Sea Ice* The 2007 Arctic summer sea ice has reached the lowest extent of perennial ice cover on record - nearly 25% less than the previous low set in 2005. The area of the perennial ice has been steadily decreasing since the satellite record began in 1979, at a rate of about 10% per decade. But the 2007 minimum, reached on September 14, is far below the previous record made in 2005 and is about 38% lower than the climatological average. Such a dramatic loss has implications for ecology, climate and industry. This animation, produced by NASA, shows the dramatic change in arctic sea ice between Sept. 21, 2005 and Sept. 14, 2007.

Its second year of unprecedented growth has affected an exponentially growing number of lenders and entrepreneurs and received support from more than 130,000 individuals around the globe, including President Clinton and Oprah Winfrey. Through Kiva.org, people around the world can become micro-bankers to developing world entrepreneurs, said President Clinton. [These are people] who have their own ideas, so we can give them a chance to raise their kids with dignity, send their kids to school, and in troubled places like Afghanistan, we can marginally increase the chance that peace can prevail, because people will see there is a positive alternative to conflict. Kiva.org, which built the first and fastest-growing online microlending platform, enables individuals to connect with developing world entrepreneurs in 39 countries through small business loans of as little as $25. By combining microfinance with Web 2.0, Kiva.org has created a way for the average individual to make a real difference in the life of an entrepreneur halfway around the world; you no longer need a Bill Gates-sized budget to have a Bill Gates-style philanthropic investment portfolio! In only its second year of operation, Kiva.org has achieved the following: -- Facilitated loans of over $12.5m to 19,250 developing world entrepreneurs (to date totals are over $13m to 20,000 developing world entrepreneurs from 130,000 lenders.) -- Received support from President Clinton, through inclusions in his newbook Giving, and interviews with Greta van Susteren (FOX) and Keith Olbermann (MSNBC.) -- Appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show with President Clinton (9/04/07.) -- Partnered with 48 microfinance institutions in 27 countries, including first-ever partnerships in Iraq and Afghanistan (to date totals are 62 partners in 39 countries.) -- Received support from Kellogg Foundation, Draper Richards Foundation, DOEN Foundation and Halloran Philanthropy. -- Attended the 2007 Brookings Blum Roundtable, the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting, and won The Tech Museum Awards 2007 Economic Development Award Laureate and the World Summit Award 2007 for e-Business. -- Received press coverage from news organizations including ABC World News, CNN, BBC, PBS, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Today Show, TIME Magazine and BusinessWeek. *Why is Kiva.org so successful?* Kiva.org has created a simple yet extremely effective way for the average individual to make a real difference in the life of a person in the developing world, for just $25: -- Connections: Kiva.org's website allows lenders to choose the individual they would like to lend to, providing a photograph and description of each entrepreneur and their business loan needs. I love the feeling of connection I have to the people to whom I lend money via Kiva.org. I support these people wholeheartedly in their daily struggles to meet the needs of their families, says Kiva Lender Glenda Denniston of Wisconsin. -- Transparency: Kiva Field Partners update lenders on the progress of each loan through repayment notifications and business journals that provide updates on the successes and difficulties being encountered by the entrepreneur. -- Accountability: Kiva.org regularly verifies the use of loan funds through the participation of auditors, Kiva Fellows and Kiva Staff visits. By committing to 100% transparency of the use and placement of loan funds, Kiva.org enables a greater level of accountability of contributions, even to the extent that Kiva Lenders have visited recipients of their loan funds in country. *About Kiva.org* Kiva.org (www.kiva.org) is the world's first person-to-person microlending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to an entrepreneur in the developing world. Founded in 2005 by Matt and Jessica Flannery, Kiva.org's mission is to connect people, through lending, to alleviate poverty. Kiva.org currently connects lenders in more than 50 countries with entrepreneurs in 39 developing countries, through 62 microfinance partners. Kiva.org is headquartered in San Francisco.

I believe, though, Angela, that Maharishi's movement can't be singled out for instilling in our culture ideas that are damaging to individual responsibility, discriminating thought, and the integrity of the individual ego. The same attitude is coming from all directions, not just TM. We're finding it in Buddhism (as it's usually taught in the West), Eckart Tolle, certainly in Byron Katie, and very strongly in the Neo-Advaitin gurus. The good parts of Eastern philosophy that I glommed onto as a girl have pretty much been forgotten and taken over by what is either distortions of the original teachings or -- maybe the insidiousness was there all along and I was too young to see it. MMY's movement is becoming scary with the rajas stuff and is setting itself up in a way that could turn militant. As such it stands out as particularly suspect.

[FairfieldLife] Comcast Caught Sensoring Political Emails
2007-10-15
Thread
Samadhi Is Much Closer Than You Think -- Really! -- It's A No-Brainer. Who'd've Thunk It?
*How Comcast Censors Political Content* Or *Why My Comcast Horror Story Is Better Than Yours* *By David Swanson* Most Comcast internet customers seem to have horror stories, but in my humble opinion this one is a doozie and may even suggest threats to freedom of speech more significant than the jailing of a court stenographer. I'm working on a campaign headquartered at www.afterdowningstreet.org that seeks to draw attention to the Downing Street Minutes and to lobby Congress to open an investigation into whether the President has committed impeachable offenses. According to a recent Zogby poll, 42 percent of Americans favor impeachment proceedings if the President lied about the reasons for war, and according to a recent ABC News / Washington Post poll, 52 percent think he did. But this story is nowhere to be found in the corporate media. So, our website attracts a lot of traffic. In addition, July 23rd is the three-year anniversary of the meeting on Downing Street that produced the now infamous minutes, and we are organizing events all over the country on that day. Or, we're trying to. But we noticed about a week ago that everyone working on this campaign was having strange Email problems. Some people would get Emails and some wouldn't, or they'd receive some but not others. Conference calls were worse than usual (I can't stand the things anyway) because half the people wouldn't get the info and know where to call in. Organizing by internet is super easy, but when you have to follow up every Email with a phone call to see if someone got it, it becomes super frustrating. Volunteers have been complaining all over the country – especially now that we've figured out what the problem was and they know what to complain about. We didn't know it, but for the past week, anyone using Comcast has been unable to receive any Email with www.afterdowningstreet.org in the body of the Email. That has included every Email from me, since that was in my signature at the bottom of every Email I sent. And it included any Email linking people to any information about the upcoming events. From the flood this evening of Emails saying Oh, so that's why I haven't heard anything from you guys lately, it seems clear that we would have significantly more events organized by now for the 23rd if not for this block by Comcast. Disturbingly, Comcast did not notify us of this block. It took us a number of days to nail down Comcast as the cause of the problems, and then more days, working with Comcast's abuse department to identify exactly what was going on. We'd reached that point by Thursday, but Comcast was slow to fix the problem. During the day on Friday we escalated our threats to flood Comcast's executives with phone calls and cancellations, and we gave them deadlines. Friday evening, Comcast passed the buck to Symantec. Comcast said that Symantec's Bright Mail filter was blocking the Emails, and that Symantec refused to lift the block, because they had supposedly received 46,000 complaints about Emails with our URL in them. Forty-six thousand! Of course, Symantec was working for Comcast, and Comcast could insist that they shape up, or drop them. But Comcast wasn't interested in doing that. Could we see two or three, or even one, of those 46,000 complaints? No, and Comcast claimed that Symantec wouldn't share them with Comcast either. By the time Comcast had passed the buck to the company that it was paying to filter its customers Emails, Brad Blog had posted an article about the situation and urged people to complain to Comcast. http://www.bradblog.com/archives/1602.htm Brad quickly added Symantec phone numbers to the story on his website, and we called Symantec's communications department, which fixed the problem in a matter of minutes. So, why does this matter? Comcast has a near monopoly on high-speed internet service in much of this country, including much of the Washington, D.C., area. Many members of the media and many people involved in politics rely on it. Three days ago, I almost decided to put a satellite dish on my roof. There's no other way for me to get high-speed internet, unless I use Comcast. Comcast effectively censors discussion of particular political topics, and impedes the ability of people to associate with each other, with absolutely no compulsion to explain itself. There is no due process. A phrase or web address is tried and convicted in absentia and without the knowledge of those involved. Now, did Comcast do this because it opposes impeaching the President? I seriously doubt it. Apparently the folks at Symantec did this, and Comcast condoned it. But why? Well, we have no evidence to suggest that these 46,000 complaints actually exist, but we can be fairly certain that if they do, they were generated by someone politically opposed to our agenda. There's simply no possible way that we've accidentally annoyed 46,000 random people with stray Emails and mistyped addresses. We've only been

Thank you very much for this. :-) It demonstrates the eternal vigilance to hold to our sincerity and doubt to assure both the personal and the impersonal Ishvara are more fully reflected in our thoughts, words and deeds and our attention is focused on that Ishvara so that our efforts, socially expressed, do not deteriorate into the very antithesis of progressing toward subtler realms and the probable desideratum of all life in the universe. Many atheists constitute some of the most magnanimous hearts and minds I've ever met. Further forensics into the lives of atheists and the continuum of atheism in the myriad lives of each person who subscribes to it will demonstrate that a period of atheism in their lifetime, for many believers of nonbelief, will show that such periods are as fasting from the extroversive ostentations that have gone astray and substituted for true spiritual experience, often substituting regressive, oppressive, suppressive and repressive impostoring imitations of spirituality in the sanctimonious theater of religiosity while camouflaging predatious psycho-social cannibalizations of humanity. While myopic minds and Muladhariis the world over may belligerently bark their minimitis towards their perceived ideological adversaries, the universe is a singular whole complete within itself with truths, satya, that pervade all things. Moments of atheism in the evolution of beings is just an exercise in discipline in pursuit of that same satya to hold fast to their heart of sincerity and veracity. Even for those of us who trust in, if not certain of a singularity pervading the universe, and for those of us who have actually experienced samadhi and know the answer for sure, we must respect the sincerity of these atheists and the driving force they provide to keep society true and on track towards more sublime thresholds of evolutionary excellence for humanity and the world at large. *You are never alone or helpless;* *the force the guides the stars guides you too.* This message set at 60 spaces across for better forwarding.

Rajesh Kumar Singh / AP *(Are these yogis 'laughing' at the Chinese government?)* ** *The Next Lama: The Dalai Lama says he won't reincarnate in Tibet* By Matthew Philips Newsweek Aug. 20-27, 2007 issue - In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. According to a statement issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation. But beyond the irony lies China's true motive: to cut off the influence of the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual and political leader, and to quell the region's Buddhist religious establishment more than 50 years after China invaded the small Himalayan country. By barring any Buddhist monk living outside China from seeking reincarnation, the law effectively gives Chinese authorities the power to choose the next Dalai Lama, whose soul, by tradition, is reborn as a new human to continue the work of relieving suffering. At 72, the Dalai Lama, who has lived in India since 1959, is beginning to plan his succession, saying that he refuses to be reborn in Tibet so long as it's under Chinese control. Assuming he's able to master the feat of controlling his rebirth, as Dalai Lamas supposedly have for the last 600 years, the situation is shaping up in which there could be two Dalai Lamas: one picked by the Chinese government, the other by Buddhist monks. It will be a very hot issue, says Paul Harrison, a Buddhism scholar at Stanford. The Dalai Lama has been the prime symbol of unity and national identity in Tibet, and so it's quite likely the battle for his incarnation will be a lot more important than the others. So where in the world will the next Dalai Lama be born? Harrison and other Buddhism scholars agree that it will likely be from within the 130,000 Tibetan exiles spread throughout India, Europe and North America. With an estimated 8,000 Tibetans living in the United States, could the next Dalai Lama be American-born? You'll have to ask him, says Harrison. If so, he'll likely be welcomed into a culture that has increasingly embraced reincarnation over the years. According to a 2005 Gallup poll, 20 percent of all U.S. adults believe in reincarnation. Recent surveys by the Barna Group, a Christian research nonprofit, have found that a quarter of U.S. Christians, including 10 percent of all born-again Christians, embrace it as their favored end-of-life view. A non-Tibetan Dalai Lama, experts say, is probably out of the question.

It doesn't take a genius nor a saint to witness the load of himsa in the edited and/or pseudo dialog. *I want every person to be complete in themselves. **Your himsa has no place in my mission.* *I will help all beings in every way I can promptly. * * * *I will not inflict pain or misfortune on anyone through my thoughts, words or deeds. * On 9/17/07, Ron [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Namaste Guru G and all G:Having things stripped bare is not an attractive offer. hahahahahah people want to have *thier* lives but to have them Enhanced.

Ego is just a belief system and when that system is challenging the me freaks. But there is no me just a bunch of thought patterns that made one think im this or that. It has been very different unpleasant, some times crazy seeing the world like this, there is no descriptions or thoughts that could be accurate at all because they are made up according to the ego pattern. It all seems to be a big game. And every one seems to count on that game and getting the bigger better game. So this me is nuts, what's left of it. It's a challenge to talk or remember things, mantra spontaneous in the middle of the night and just seeing through the eyes is different. And yes, practice breath surrender and grace.

The original reason for the mother lineage in judaism has to do with the families having been matrilineal. By the way, it is possible, and has been a large part of human history, to have matrilineal and patriarchal concurrent within a society, though matrilineal precedes patriarchal in judaism as well as other cultures.

A man can say, That's my kid and I'm a Jew, so the kid is a Jew, but that doesn't carry the religious validity as my mom is Jewish. The man could be lying, but a womb can't lie. I study Kabbalah, my very best friends are Jewish, my grandmother was Jewish, and I think they have some spiritual insights that can match anything in Hinduism or mystical Christianity or Sufi or whatever. The Sefirot of the Kabbalah is quite a deep, inspirational documentation of divinity. I was tipping my hat to the fact that despite not knowing about mitochondria, the Jews came up with a system that recognizes the mother's role in owning offspring. It's cool that they intuited it, and came up with a rule about it. Edg --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Richard J. Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Duveyoung wrote: The Jews had it figured.

There seems implicit in your word choices, such as see here, that you are referring to links that are not showing up in this message. Please review your message and any links to confirm whether any more than the two links that I can find are what you intended to send. On 9/15/07, oneradiantbeing [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ron Paul Will Destroy America Taken from:http://blog.notsosoft.net/2007/politics/ron-paul-will-destroy- america.html So, one of the big things that I keep getting grilled about with my criticism of Ron Paul is that people vehemently argue that the man isn't a racist. Well, I think I found the ultimate proof that I need to finally lay this to rest. The Ron Paul supporters are going to come out in force on this one, so it should be a good time, but let's hope Google and Yahoo pick this up so that the American people can know who this Ron Paul person really is. I just got finished reading an article by David Duke–a former Grand Wizard (read grand asshole) of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan–which I found rather enlightening. Besides being a former Grand Wizard, but has also been a Louisiana congressman, but he has also been convicted of mail fraud and filed a false tax return. All of this information is available on wikipedia at this URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duke While David Duke's staff claims that he isn't explicitly endorsing any candidates, he says an awful lot of nice things about Ron Paul. He also does a lot of attacking those who criticize Ron Paul. Suspicious, no? Well, I found in the URL that one of the lovely Ron Paul supporters put onto my blog a link to a white supremacy site, so I've been doing a little digging. Here are some interesting things that I found. - Ron Paul has been the subject of no fewer than three articles on David Duke's personal site. - Ron Paul has been praised by the white supremacy group White Civil Rights - Ron Paul is published in white supremacist newspapers:See here I am nowhere near the only person suspecting Ron Paul of racism and or white-supremacy: see here, and here, and here - Ron Paul has a large volume of white supremacist supporters: ivorypower.com/blog(the racism and jews categories are particularly showing) - Ron Paul has ties to the John Birch society, a group of rather serious conspiracy theorists - The Alabama Green Party has identified Ron Paul as a racist and as dangerous to the United States of America: see here, and don't forget to read the laundry list of racist comments - Ron Paul has a disgusting track record when it comes to environmental protection: see here(PDF) - Ron Paul voted against H.R. 9, called the Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act. This bill passed 390-33 and is to protect the rights of Americans to vote, and to protect voters before, during, and after the polls: see here Do I really need to go on? Ron Paul is will destroy America. As I hope to make this the last post dedicated to this festering pustule on the face of America, I would like to thank all of Ron Paul's supporters who have helped me to really discover how horrifying this man really is. I would especially like to thank Josh, who so conveniently linked himself to the Ku Klux Klan by putting his blog's URL in his comment this evening.
