Hilarious. Surfing YouTube for more classic Dr. John clips, what did I
find in the "related videos" column but a number of talks by...wait for

 The exact opposite of my approach. When I have a series of tasks to get out

at least it suits my temperament.

I think it's about time that the TMO remembered that hopping is just the first 
stage of flying. People should be fined for not hovering in mid-air. That'd 
sort them out. I mean, if you are going to alter the laws of physics and create 
action at a distance by hopping up and down, why not go the whole hog and 
levitate.

 Overseers. Well yes, and what is the

 pay for performance. If you are being paid to meditate and
 'hop'
 then all the more certainly your employers should get some
 disciplined work (meditation) from you. It is called

 meditating and doing the long TM-sidhis yogic flying
 prescribed for
 on the Howard Settle grant program. Of the total number of
 people in
 the larger group meditation only a few remain now on the
 money grant.
 They got standards to keep up if they are getting money for
 it. 
 Other meditators who were dropped from the grant program
 when it
 collapsed before for lack of money may well think these
 others are
 selling their souls to have to 'hop' just for money.
 Other people who before
 were there for having great and powerful meditation in the
 Domes may see
 it has become otherwise for some, a form of performance art
 for
 money, as another corruption of money. People see it
 differently. 
 
 I think it is wonderful that people are generally a

 disciplined sitting up in meditation now and attending to
 the
 technique and adding to the group meditation field effect. 
 It's a lot more awake in the Domes than some times ago
 when people would generally come in just laying down to

And not just WITHIN the TM organization -- put yer money where yer mouth
is *publicly*. Arrange a "Superpower-Off" TV special, in which TMers who
have mastered the Sidhis face off against Scientologists who have
mastered their "super powers" program.

Think of the drama. Teams of cultists who believe that they can fly face
off against challenging teams of cultists who believe that they can
revive the dead. The teams glare intently at each other, invoke their
respective delusions, and nothing happens. Nothing happens for the
entire length of the special. At the end of the contest, both teams
declare victory.

Re Richard's "It would be interesting to speculate just how much Leibnitz . . . 
 knew about the pessimistic philosophies of ancient India":  
 Very interesting indeed. Leibniz (died 1716) was one of the most switched-on 
and turned-on of philosophers. He was the first westerner to investigate the 
Chinese book of change(s), the I Ching, with its yin/yang lines, trigrams and 
hexagrams - a major influence on his promoting a binary arithmetic and his 
championing of early calculating devices and prophesying the advent of the 
computer.
 What's more, his novel idea that each of us is a monad reflecting whatever 
occurs elsewhere in the universe owes a great deal to the Hindu myth of the 
"Net of Indra" later adopted by Hua-yen Buddhism.:  The most important 
philosophical contributions of the Hua-yen school were in the area of its 
metaphysics. It taught the doctrine of the mutual containment and 
interpenetration of all phenomena, as expressed in Indra's Net. One thing 
contains all other existing things, and all existing things contain that one 
thing.  
 (A forerunner of the holographic interpretation of modern physics.)

 

 Voltaire was pretty shallow compared to Leibniz - but a first-rate journalist 
and champion of freedom.

That's my way too, the other way, Marshy's way you keep the spectre of the

Well, you could start out by explaining the Rama levitation event. There 
must have been a lot of drama in the lecture hall when even the guards 
saw the golden light around Rama's head as he bobbed and hovered! The 
question is, why couldn't Rama float and walk on water instead of 
drowning his self in a lake? I guess that's what he wanted to do, drown, 
but I wonder why he didn't just shoot out into space to make a real 
impression. Go figure.


But, if we have free will, anyone should be able to defy gravity any 
time they want to. Go figure.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Right Place, Right Time

[Richard J. Williams]

Anyone can create physical change by hopping - there will be sound waves 
and a gravitational effect that can be felt and seen by anyone.


If you throw a pebble into a pond of water the effect will be ripples 
radiating out in waves to the edge of the pond. This analogy corresponds 
to the theory of cause and effect - causality. For everything that 
happens there is a cause and a corresponding effect - there is a 
relation between cause and effect.


The question is, can a thought influence nature or our surroundings? 
Buddhist certainly think so, because one of the cardinal beliefs of 
Buddhism is to project good thoughts along with acts that do no harm to 
a living thing.


So, if thought is energy it would have an effect on something, if 
nothing more than an effect on the mind itself. Some people think there 
is a relation between thoughts and the ability to cause physical change. 
It may be possible that positive thinking can influence the ability of 
the body to heal itself in a sick person.

Anyone can create physical change by hopping - there will be sound waves and a 
gravitational effect that can be felt and seen by anyone.

If you throw a pebble into a pond of water the effect will be
  ripples radiating out in waves to the edge of the pond. This
  analogy corresponds to the theory of cause and effect - causality.
  For everything that happens there is a cause and a corresponding
  effect - there is a relation between cause and effect. 

The question is, can a thought influence nature or our
  surroundings? Buddhist certainly think so, because one of the
  cardinal beliefs of Buddhism is to project good thoughts along
  with acts that do no harm to a living thing. 

So, if thought is energy it would have an effect on something, if
  nothing more than an effect on the mind itself. Some people think
  there is a relation between thoughts and the ability to cause
  physical change. It may be possible that positive thinking can
  influence the ability of the body to heal itself in a sick person.

then they are defeating the very Marsy Effect you are so
fond of praising and worshiping. I have to agree with
past statements made by Barry - the Movement is dead and
it is continually being re-buried by practices like
this.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Right Place, Right Time< WE CHOOSE OUR INCARNATION TIME SO ITS ALWAYS BEST4 US!

[Richard J. Williams]

When I go to the gym for my exercise program I always start out slow, 
doing some stretching exercises to warm up. I've noticed several others 
doing the same thing before a long run in the park. Then comes the heavy 
lifting like curls, or running on the treadmill or on the elliptic. I've 
also got a habit of stretching in bed when I wake up before I get up and 
start walking around the house.


When taking an exam in school, experts say to read all the questions 
before you start, then work the easy problems first, and save the more 
difficult ones for last. In one one class I took, Business Math, when 
the final exam came, I already knew what my average was in the course 
and how many points I needed to make on the final in order to pass with 
a 'C'.


So, in just a few minutes I completed all the easy questions and I had 
over two hours to complete the difficult ones. Sure, I made an 'A' in 
the course by completing all the questions, but I could have left the 
room in about ten minutes knowing I had already passed the course with a 
'B'. If I had attempted the hard questions first, I might have run out 
of time and really screwed up. Go figure.
