 Hi Empty,

I'm going to follow up on my earlier post this morning, 
partly to expand upon it, but also because at least three
people here don't seem to understand who I was talking
to. Trying to help them appear less STOOOPID, I remind 
them of a stern dictum issued by She Who Must Not Be 
Disobeyed herself:

"Hey, doofus, nobody was talking to you. End of story."
- Judy Stein, 13 October 2013

Anyway, what I was trying to say *to you* earlier is that
while I understand that it pains you to see Willytex 
spouting bullshit here on FFL, when you fall for it and
get into it with him, you're playing *his* game, not yours.
He's trolled you. 

That's just what he and the other troll I mentioned earlier
DO. They lie in wait for someone to say something, then
they rush out and search Google or Wikipedia or some
batch of saved files and they post a "rebuttal." 

It isn't *really* a rebuttal, of course -- it's an invitation
for you to argue with them. If you do, they win. That's
just how trolls think. 

The thing is, even if you *don't* fall for it and argue with
them, they'll find a way to spin *that* and consider it a 
"win" for them, too. Just as the three people whom *I* did
not respond to (and wasn't talking to in the first place)
did today. 

I'm not faulting your scholarship, or trying to start some 
kinda argument with you, either. I'm just pointing out The
Nature Of Trolls, and reminding you that it really *isn't*
worth your time to try to rebut or correct them. They don't
care about that. ALL that they care about is that they got
you to argue with them. 

IMO, doing so is a classic waste of time. But if you've got
so much time left in this life that you don't mind wasting 
it, forgive me for butting in and more power to ya...argue 
with them all you want. Your call...
 

 Barry takes the time and the 'trouble' to once more advise someone about 
falling for and responding to and satisfying the 'trolls' of FFL all the while 
in doing so he is responding to and falling for and satisfying the 'trolls' of 
FFL. If you really wanted to prove your point, Barry, and follow your own 
advice you'd button it.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Om "embedded" in the tanakh?

2013-10-28 Thread Richard J. Williams
We are the Materialists, one of the schools of Indian Philosophy, 
founded by Brhaspati, and very old. We have always existed, and we will 
exist at the end of time. Our teacher is Ajitakeshakambalin, (of the 
hair-blanket), so-called because he wanted to be having a hair-blanket 
wrapped about him at all times. Go figure.


We believe in four elements. Our motto is "emphasize the substance, 
ignore the shadows". Perception is rejected as a valid means of 
knowledge and we reject inference as a leap in the dark. Verbal 
testimony is a lie. In fact we reject all means of knowledge.


Earth, water, fire, and air are reality. Enjoyment is the true end of 
human existence. Consciousness is a product of the elements, an 
epi-phenomenon, and the senses are the by-product of matter. There is no 
other world and no individual soul: death is liberation. There is no 
returning here again. The three authors of the Vedas were clowns, 
buffoons, and knaves.


Eat, drink and be merry. Pleasure is a fact, desired by all. After all, 
all humans are animals, and satisfaction is as natural as life itself. 
As Vatsyana has written: "No pleasure should be neglected."

And trying to argue with him about what

Willytex *succeeded* in poking your ego until it reacted,

If you *don't* react, they'll find some way to try

 You are so ignorant you don't even know the basic stuff. Any self-respecting 
Indian (who isn't a communist) always has 20-30 mantras on-hand just in case 
there is need to get the "gods" favor for something. 
 
 "Maybe so but ..." is the confession of a deceiver who believes that just by 
endlessly repeating a claim others will believe it. 
 
 Patanjali said the pranava was the name/designation of Ishvara. Repetition of 
the pranava and contemplation of it leads to realization of its meaning.

 So, let's sum up what we know about the bija mantras used in TM. 

 It has already been established that MMY got one single bija mantra from his 
teacher SBS. It has also been established that SSRS cribbed the list of bijas 
from MMY. It has NOT been established that SSRS has had a tantric yoga teacher 
other than MMY. Let's face it - the bija mantras used in TM were cribbed from a 
tantra yoga book. Why would SBS give a whole list of bijas to MMY if SBS didn't 
even endorse MMY to teach tantra?
 

 According to SBS, the monosyllable 'OM' isn't a bija (seed) sound at all - 
it's just a place-holder for the bija given in initiation. The Pranava is OM, 
but OM is not a bija, it;s just a symbol for the Vedic Sun God. If there were 
any bijas to meditate on when Patanjali compiled the Yoga Sutras he would have 
mentioned them, would he not? Or, the historical Buddha would have mentioned 
them. 
 

 Or, MMY would have said that the TM bija mantras came from the Vedas. Or, 
Larry Domash would have told us the bijas came from the Vedas. They did not.
 

 So, it would seem that the Marshy got confused - instead of extolling the 
Vedas, he should have been promoting the Tantras. Apparently there are no 
'bija' mantras mentioned in the Rig Veda. In order to establish the TM 
practice, the Marshy should have been explaining how TM came to use the tantric 
bija mantras.
 

 From what I've read, TM practice and the use of bijas comes from the Sri 
Vidya, and not from the Rig Veda. Sri Vidya is a tantric sect, purportedly 
founded by Shankaracharya. Swami Brahmanand Saraswati was a member of the Sri 
Vidya - all the Saraswati dasnamis are headquarted at Sringeri. SBS's guru, 
Swami Krishanand Saraswati, was from Sringeri. The primary symbol of the Sri 
Vidya is the Shri Yantra, not the OM symbol.
 

 So, it's obvious that TM adherents should be looking to the Tantras, such as 
the 'Saundaryalahari' for the origins of TM, not the to the Vedas. The Rig Veda 
has little to say about yoga practices such as 'TM'. The Rig Veda is based on 
sacrificial rituals, dedicated to appeasing the celestial beings that control 
the forces of nature, such as earth, wind and fire, etc. 
 

 The Devatas, such as Krishna, Balarama, Vasudeva, and Ramchandra are deified 
heroes of Indian mythology. There are no 'istadevatas' mentioned in the Rig 
Veda, so how could there be any istadevata bija mantras? Go figure.
 

 The use of bijas came a long time after the composition of the Rig Veda, 
during the Gupta age in India. Bija mantras are products of the Indian 
alchemists, not the Vedic Rishis. The Rig Veda was probably compiled before the 
Aryan speakers even arrived in India.

SSRS, although a mahapundit of the four vedas, should have asked you first. 
Although he had a number of teachers other than MMY, he  obviously never asked 
permission from you - the "punditster". I'm sure he regrets the omission to 
this day.

I'm also sure you could clarify his pronunciation of the riks, reveal the 
hidden connections between between the vaious chhanda-s. Maybe you could obtain 
the blessing of the deva-s and get him authorized for using these cheating 
bijas stolen from the Buddhists. 
  
 You should call him and offer to help him out. However, I wouldn't use your 
Prairie Dog credentials. Rather you should just introduce yourself as a pandit 
dedicated to cleaning up the fallen lineage of pseudo-pandits using fake bijas. 
You could give him a copy of the The Tantric Tradition by Leopold Fischer 
(agehananda bharati) and just point out "You need to read this and stop ripping 
everyone off!"

 

 So great of you to consider this.

that explain something about the TM community?  What is
your experience with it and what was really said about it?

'OM" it is of relatively recent oirgin, from the time of Pannini, who 
arranged Sanskrit into a written language. OM is a symbol that was 
invented by the Indian alchemists much later than Pannini, in order to 
make their system seem profound and esoteric.


'Om" is nothing more than a phoneme, or a quasi phoneme, made up by 
Brahmins in order to confuse the people. It is merely a salutation, 
similar to the Latin 'Amen', a phrase meaning 'So be it'.


It is not a 'bija' mantra at all. If chanting 'OM' had been a known 
means of liberation, it would have been mentioned by the historical 
Buddha, or carved onto an Ashokan Pillar or something.


In reality, the 'OM' 'sound' is just another instance of the Indian 
proclivity for making simple things seem mysterious. It is a 'mantra' by 
courtesy only, according to Swami Ageananda Bharati, the author of the 
definitive work on mantra, 'The Tantric Tradition'.

SSRS, a vedic pandit, has given out OM as part of traditional
 maha-mantras. After receiving one from him, I asked the OM 

 question to a sankhya-yoga scholar, a former TMer and student of SSRS. He said 
"No possible problem if included within a traditional maha-mantra ... like om 
namo bhagavate vasudevaya."

 He said OM was a mantra for recluses, I believe. It's in Beacon Light of

Whomever gave you the dressing down only needs to look at a few news articles 
about the current state of India to know that neither Marshy nor any of these 
other supposed god men has done a damn thing to "save" India.
