Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Curtis Share
Nadi astrology actually is NOT that much different from other techniques. They just ad some supplemental features or shadings. I think some of this stuff develops as crutches for bad astrologers of which there are quite a few. Basically all astrology does is crudely recognize certain patterns that occur in nature. It should be used like a weather report.

The planets can't be having a different effect in different systems as they are in the same place.

Since Nadi astrology uses the Placidus system or it's equivalent, planets can be placed differently than using the typical sidereal system in vedic astrology. For example, if a person has the Moon in the 8th house in the regular jyotish method, the Moon can be placed in the 7th using Nadi astrology. So, the placement of the Moon has improved and the readings for the individual would change as well. So the planets can be in different places, which changes the readings. Can you really not work out from that that astrology is a load of nonsense? Just to underline it, the planets aren't in different places. They are where they always are, orbiting the sun with the Earth, which is just another planet. If they have an effect in one place, they will have a different effect in another place. They can't both be right. This is the trouble (one of them anyway) with inadequate theories, you can vary entities and get the same claimed effect. This should be a way of sorting one from the other.

Salyavin, The main purpose of jyotish is find the best path to take in life and understand the consequences of your actions or decisions. Each system in jyotish can give a person different perspectives which can give a person a better idea of what action to take. The only way to appreciate these different systems are to see how each system can reveal certain truths about your own life. The Parasara system gives the traditional interpretation of the chart. However, the Nadi system takes into consideration the modern fact that the planets do not revolve around the Sun in a perfect circle. These planets actually travel an elliptical path around the Sun.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Curtis Share
In some schools of Jyotish Jupiter is a benefic for Libra ascedants but in others a first class malefic. Now in my Jupiter dasha I would say it is a first class malefic and is following the description of such. You'll have to wait a few years for Rahu and Ketu to move into exaltation. My Rahu is exalted in the 8th and the recently completed Rahu dasha was the most successful of my life so far. As Richard would say, go figger.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Curtis Share
Bhairitu, You should learn Nadi Astrology as presented by Umang Taneja on YouTube. However, he presents his lectures mostly in Hindi. I labored by listening through his lectures, even though I don't speak or understand a word of Hindi. From what I could gather by inference, Nadi astrology gives a person another dimension to understand the birth chart. The technique basically uses the sub-lords of the nakshatra as the basis for making predictions and assessing the tendencies of the entire kundali. It's another version of the Krishnamurti Padhati system. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote : In some schools of Jyotish Jupiter is a benefic for Libra ascedants but in others a first class malefic.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Curtis and Bubbles: Our Moral Compass (was...Ravi; the hypocrite slayer)
Bob Price: Willy was upsetting you with those photos of Rama... Barry himself has written the most embarassing Rama stories. There's something funny about almost every guru or teacher. http://www.ramalila.net/RoadTripMind/index.html But, I actually liked Fred Lenz - I love almost all gurus. I mean if you can't laugh at yourself and your guru, who can you laugh at? After Trungpa died, we had a big ceremony just before he was about to be cremated. All the senior students gathered inside the enormous, orange-pillared big Dharmadhatu shrine hall, with its blue, red and gold trim. It was standing room only with the Trungpa disciples sitting in rows, upon the softy pillows, in practiced posture, evoking the mantras and the visualizations just like the lama had instructed. There were rows and rows of solemn meditators sitting with eyes half closed. Everything was in acordance with Tibetan tradition, down to the clicking of the prayer beads and the empty throne where a photograph of the late Rinpoche had been placed. Up on the dais sat the Vajra Regent, appointed by the Trungpa Rinpoche, Osel Tendzin; and the visiting high lamas of the Tibetan Kagya sect; the monks and the VIPs and the laity. I got to sit down in front because I, among six others, had taken the Vajrayana vows and had been intitiated into Shambala training by the lama himself. In the back of the temple a special cadre of advanced students sat in a circle grinding the bones of the Trungpa Tulku, once the spiritual leader of the Surmang group of monesteries in Tibet. We recited a hundred thousand dharanis, performed a thousand bows in order to empowered the Rinpoche's bones. And to what avail? Years later, I learned that both the Trungpa and his Vajra Regent were gay alcoholics who had built, out of money donated by hapless students, a vast beaucratic organization in the form of a co-dependent support group, i.e., both the Trungpa and the Vajra Regent literally drank and screwed themselves to death right in front of the whole organization! And they called it Tantra, blessed by none other than the great Kalu, himself a Tibetan philanderer. Go figure.

Now, ya see? -- Doug, what with your recent flood of posts that seem to be from a true believer, and with your being in everyone's face about are you a meditator, your below review of Janet Sussman seems so extra sweet that I'm thinkin' you're pulling my leg. I finally found a sample of her piano playing, and frankly, I can play like that all day long while answering Cash Cab questions. That aside, note that I do understand that being in the presence of the artist is a whole 'nother deal, and that, given my general state of consciousness, it wouldn't be a surprise that I was unable to appreciate an ethereal artist. So, just to push you a bit further, er, would you call yourself a Sussman true believer?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Curtis -- what is the power of music?
In all fairness, in a moment of astoundingly rare humility, let me admit that my power of music query was, even for me, fluffy, scattered, ambling and all around Edg lite. So much so, that even Vaj had to complain. That said, what the hey, eh? If I blog here, if I overly indulge in promoting Trikkes, if I snort about the imagined-up look in some expat's eye, really, what the hey -- where's the harm? Here's my prevailing theory about why, say, Sal is so eager to be a critic about my posts: she knows that even thousands of years from now, I'll be recognized as one of the wisest of posters ever in existence, and she figure's she'll at least get some footnote in history as one of the trolls who attach themselves to Edg's greatest by any means. Ahh, that was fun just typing it! As for anyone seeming sexy to me, geeze, I don't even pick up the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated at the newstand and fan it for a quickie titter-giggle. I don't know how it happened, but I turned into an old man somewhere along the line, such that, while a hawt bod can get me to pause when viewing a bevy, the second thought never comes now. The parts of me that once invested in such fantasies have discovered that investment in such entertainments always leads to a final reality check that poofs the thought balloon above my cartoon head. Nope, me needs a real relationship if I'm going to see someone as sexy. It's the same deal with being a side-walk artist with one's wares hung on a fence for passers-by -- the viewers that pause and peer closely, those are the ones to whom the artist introduces him/herself. Just so, who wants a stranger sucking on your dick when you can have someone who really really really knows all about your darkside and yet still wants physical intimacy? No competition at all, see? So, by my definition, Sal cannot be sexy to me until I've fallen in love with all of her, not just her great tits and ass -- and I think I speak for all here that Sal MUST have great tits and ass because God wouldn't be so mean as to create a human who is so lacking in all other respects without tossing in something to balance the scales.

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Duveyoung no_re...@... wrote: Curtis, Hopefully you're lurking. There's a mystery about music that perhaps you've considered far more deeply than I have; it's that music is so unfailingly meaningful yet has such severe limitations on where its buzz-yer-brain qualities are useful for impacting reality. Play even one measure of ANY piece of music and have ANYONE listen to it, and that person will have a point of view about the music's meaning to him/her. The music will be easily characterized by any listener in a fashion that is consistent within for them -- but not necessarily mono-meaningfully consistent socially speaking. Even a young child can tell you if a few notes are happy or sad, or whatever, and their inner musical-Rosetta-Stone will be remarkably consistent in labeling other musical passages. Whether it is merely the beat or the voices/instruments used or whatever, it seems that each piece of music is utterly unique and unwaveringly precise in its presentation of message to listeners, yet everyone understands any music the very first time it is played. Not that any two listeners will agree on what words best describe a piece of music, but that each person will have some sort of inner process that seems to be rule driven and idiosyncratic. Given the absolutism of music on a personal level -- meaning: the same music will produce the same brain response for at least a few repetitions before jaded becomes an eroding dynamic -- I'm mystified that music has not been very potent as a psychologically therapeutic tool. It's the old music soothes the savage breast concept. Why can't music be used to impact psychology very strongly when it seems to have such power to symbolize -- nay, even embody and be -- emotions? Music is so emotional that I find it hard to believe that emotions in general are not perceived as musical. If I'm feeling an emotion, say, love, it seems like music is playing in that my mind has a soundtrack that harmonizes with conceptual content (lyrics?) Yet, it is rare to have folks describe their feelings with musical terminology, e.g. I'm feeling sotto voce stacatto love. It might be a cool thingie, eh? My main question is: we know that we can get a crowd all tapping their feet and seemingly having the same emotions when listening to a piece, but we also know that the priest along with the serial killer in the crowd -- though sharing a musically triggered mood -- do not come away from the listening experience with any measurable change in their personalities -- so, WHY NOT? How can music have such power to trigger one's inner state, but be so seemingly impotent when it comes to having a measurable impact. I don't see any school of psychology doing anything like, say, the torture technique in A Clockwork Orange by pouring music and imagery into a brain and having that impact personality. I see no evidence of music soothing any breasts at all except while the music is being actually played. To me it is astounding that someone can listen to a full orchestration of a symphony by Mozart and not be driven sane. Where's the beef, ya know? Why doesn't music stick? My working theory is that music, like ordinary life experiences, can have a power to gradually nudge a personality, but that it would take a hell of a lot to get measurable results. Maybe if a person tried to mindfully listen to Mozart in a nuanced fashion like initiators are trained to be mindfully listening to the puja as they sing it, then Mozart could be a great healer. Don't know -- and so I ask your opinion. Edg in that music that they interpret as, say, happy, will be found The innate ability to appreciate music...to appreciate harmony or disharmony... The power of sound, in and of itself...the power of the sound quality of the mantras. The way emotion gets involved with sound... The way the art of music reflects the culture... 'The music of the Sixties'. A feeling for a second: Love is all you need. The music of the lately... 'Gansta Rap' 'Heavy Metal'... 'Grunge Punk' Yucky Music of no harmony...

My point is that you let all kinds of crap, flat-out lying and gross unfairness, go by with Barry and Vaj because, as you told me recently, you have offlist contact with them and therefore know them better as people. But I don't lie, and I do my best not to be unfair, and you jump on me when your idea of fairness doesn't happen to quite coincide with mine. That's the double standard I was talking about. I gave what you wrote some thought Judy. I was thinking about how I relate to different people here and why I would challenge you on what I perceive to be a falsehood, but I don't approach some other writers here with that filter on. Barry and Vaj and many other people here never make personal comments about me in that personal evaluation style that characterizes so many of your posts. For example in this exchange I basically said you are lying and you are commenting on me having a double standard because I don't write this way to some others. We are communicating in the same personally accusing style. I would not call Barry and Vaj on something like this because they don't communicate with me that way ever. I read your posts with this filter on, sort of a petty gotcha game. There are only a few other writers who I communicate in such a petty way. I'm not blaming you for how I am acting, I am trying to understand why I do it, and I think this is it. I'm ready to own my part of what is going on. Even though I have respectful interesting discussions with you here, I am never sure that your next response wont be a personal comment on my character or just some negitive spin on who I am or how I present myself here. So you have not established personal trust in the way some others have. Barry and Vaj know that even when I disagree with them, I will always make sure they understand that it is in the context of liking them, so it stays very friendly. Neither of them have ever taken a personal shot at me. We post to each other within a bubble of good will and I trust it. As I go though the list of how I communicate with people here I can pretty much group them that way. Those who have taken a personal shot in varying degrees of vitriol, and those who have not. And for anyone who has, I tend to respond to what they write in a petty way as in gotcha. And the cycle goes on and on. With you we have plenty of good exchanges that don't end this way, but when you break the ceasefire, I feel a bit betrayed. Perhaps you do too when I make such a comment on you. But I am always aware that the next post may be an unflattering characterization of me and a dismissal of me personally. I'm sure there are other useful distinctions to make. And none of this is about you changing.

Not according to Steve Perino (aka coldbluice). In April, Vaj asked him if he had ever been diagnosed with sleep apnea. Here's what he said: About 1-1/2 yrs ago by a anathesiologist and a ER nurse said i had 'sleep apnea'..when i went in the hospital for a routine minor surgery..The doctors could not figure out why i did not breath when i was sleeping. It's pretty clear from the way he phrases this that he thought the diagnosis was absurd. But Vaj wants us to believe otherwise: And as predicted by Ruth and me: the TMO was cherry- picking sleep witnessers and got a sleep apnea patient. In his case probably central sleep apnea, which fits his subjective description to a tee. But in the very same post, just before he responds to Vaj's question about sleep apnea, SP says: - The study i was involved in was in regards to witnessing during sleep..i told the researchers that i could from deep sleep control autonomic funtions. Dr. Skip Alexander, PhD miu..first interviewed me for that study-(witnessing deep sleep)..which i proved conclusively that i was being honest. Later (in Summer or 1988) i advised Dr. Skip Alexander, PhD miunot use any of my research for tmo federally funded grants. The scientifically validated control of autonomic functions that i demonstrated i.e.-- g.s.r/core body temp. heart rate breath suspension were done from deep sleep. The study's original protocal-,i was to use a pre- determined signal(as series of rapid eye movements) to indicate to the researchers when i as witnessing deep sleep. Then i suggested that i would signal from 'witnessing sleep that i was to begin controlled periods of breath suspension lowered core body temp heart rate. Later the study evolved into something completely different..Dr. Steven La Berge, PhD of Stanford Univ. (now the with Lucidity Instiute) wanted me to do all sorts of things that the tmo did NOT APPROVE of.. Interestingly, Dr La Berge said at that time that of the thousands of magnetic sleep records he examined mine was the MOST UNIQUE!! - As far as SP is concerned, whether it's true or not, he was not only intentionally controlling his breathing while in deep sleep, but was signaling with eye movements that he was about to suspend his breathing. And this is the description that Vaj thinks fits central sleep apnea to a tee?? In his recent post, Vaj goes even further: From our conversations, it wasn't he who was so interested in the breath suspension, other than to get some understanding of what was going on. He was lead to believe it was related to his state of consciousness. Sadly, that was not the case--he was mislead. It turned out he wasn't in some 'higher' state of consciousness, but one suffering from a severe form of sleep apnea. Nor was he someone who was yogically conscious during deep sleep. Again, this is completely contrary to what SP told Vaj in their April conversation. The point here isn't whether the TMO boggled or fudged the research, nor is it whether SP actually had sleep apnea. It's that Vaj has attributed to SP things he never said, when SP in fact (and on the record) said *to the contrary*. Maybe SP did have sleep apnea. But Vaj doesn't *know* that, he's just guessing, despite claiming a number of times that he did as if it were a matter of established fact. And again, SP himself clearly thinks otherwise. He believes he was able to control his autonomic functions, including by suspending his breathing, in a deep sleep state, and believes he proved it scientifically.

What I have noticed, Curtis (and making this a generic rap, not about anyone in particular), is that the personal shots tend to happen immediately after you have presented an idea that causes the personal shotters some cognitive dissonance because it conflicts with and challenges an idea that they hold to be true. I think I know you well enough to know that most of the time when you present such ideas, to you they are Just Ideas. They're an interesting new way of approaching a subject and looking at it. But it's as if a few people here react to them as if the idea itself *caused them pain*. And in a sense it did. Cognitive dissonance -- encountering an idea that, if true, renders one of your own ideas false or at the very least not as true -- is perceived by some AS pain. I think the issue is that we don't perceive these ideas that way. To us they're Just Ideas. And after all this time thinking about and analyzing our exper- iences with meditation and various follies along the spiritual path or just life path, the out of the box ideas are Just Another Way Of Looking At Things, no biggie. When we think about one of these ideas -- say the implicit wrongness of the caste system, or the unden- iable sexism of a tradition that wouldn't even allow women to be near it -- we DON'T tend to feel pain. No cognitive dissonance arises at all because we are years or decades away from justifying the caste system just because Maharishi did, or ignoring the sexism of the Shankaracharya tradition because we still identify with it and consider ourselves part of it. But others don't have that distance on things, and when they encounter ideas that to us are Just Ideas, they perceive them as ATTACKS, because what they feel inside when they hear these ideas is pain. We didn't cause the pain; all we did is present an idea. But to them the idea ITSELF causes pain, because it causes cognitive dissonance. So in their mindes we are very definitely the cause of their pain, because we said the horrible, offensive, unforgivable thing that they consider heresy. If our idea that the caste system is wrong has merit, then Maharishi's defense of it his entire life may have less merit, or be actually w...w...w...wrong. If our idea that Guru Dev and other teachers within the Shankaracharya tradition just might have been being less than honest about their desire for the liberation of their fellow man by restricting their teachings to...uh... their fellow MAN, with no women allowed, then maybe they weren't the perfect saints they've been portrayed to be. I suspect that contemplating either of these ideas doesn't raise a single hair on your neck or cause you the least amount of pain. They certainly don't cause me any dis- comfort in the least. But these same ideas cause some people so MUCH pain that their first impulse -- an impulse that they seemingly cannot control -- is to lash out and aim a well-placed personal shot across your bow. On the whole, I think you've dealt with such cheap shots better than I have, and with consistent grace and humor. A great deal more grace and humor than the ones *taking* the cheap shots have, that's fer damned sure.

In one it's like torture, in the other you rest in the bliss-sheath and abide over a calm void. In one you wake up groggy or with a headache, in the other you're more energized than the deepest of regular sleep. There are other anecdotal reports of TM night technique practitioners who also experienced the results of that practice as a sleep disturbance. I have been trying to track down some TM research subjects. If anyone knows of any, email me at ruthsimplic...@yahoo.com. I did talk to one person who was asked a bunch of questions and then rejected as a subject. Still trying to pin that one down. Anyone know an email for coldblueice? I have no evil plan, I am just searching for facts. Keep in mind, it appears a lot of the people snagged for TM research are Purusha, MD and or hard-core TM/TMSP TB's. They will likely perceive ANYONE outside the TMO questioning them as suspect or tainted. Some of the most interesting TM studies were done on people who were outside the mainstream TB practitioners (e.g. people in Seattle who went to a TM center there). Good luck!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Curtis?
snip I appreciate your taking the time to ponder this and to take responsibility for it, but from my perspective, I don't think you're owning all of your part in it yet. Several points: As far as I'm concerned, a person who aims to be fair gets only partial credit if they respond to unfairness only when it's directed at them. This sounds like way too much of a judgmental place for me to live in. This place is not my life. I'm not interested in taking most of the word wars that go in here that seriously. This is a big difference between us. You see that kind of correction as having a real value outside yourself. For me when I run the tisk tisk routine, it is for my own enjoyment and self-righteousness buzz. I'm real clear that I am not doing any real good. But I have noted that you consider the fact that I have different communication relationships here a lack of fairness. I don't see it that way. But you're not even consistent along that line. It's one thing for you to retaliate in kind in a discussion you're having with me. (I very rarely give you a basis for retaliating except when we're in the middle of a discussion and I think you aren't playing fair with me.) Consistency in how I interact here is probably not a goal for me. I enjoy reacting spontaneously as a sort of a Rorschach test for myself at any given time to a specific poster. Sometimes things bug me, sometimes I shrug them off. That seems normal. In this case, though--and in several others recently--you jumped on me because you thought I was being unfair *to others*. Yeah,me being a busybody. I'm reassessing this behavior. Further, I object to your suggestion of moral equivalency. What Vaj and, especially, Barry say in their attacks on me and others is far, far worse than anything I've ever said to them or to anybody else, including to you. The intention to hurt feelings is the same in my opinion. That is the quality that matters to me. You are more interested in the content. You have different styles of expressing your contempt for each other but the intention is the same. I understand that you believe that what they say is worse in some way that you can rate. From outside it isn't as obvious or maybe I haven't cared enough to judge it that way. There is a higher level of drama going on than I can relate to. I can get off on hating here and am not above it. But I pick those battles pretty carefully because I get an unpleasant blowback that I don't dig. I guess I don't understand how you can be so sanguine and jolly about your friendship wih Barry and Vaj when they're both so vicious and dishonest. First of all I try to avoid posts that have that vibe from anyone here when it isn't directed towards me. That is called minding my own business. I am trying to do that more and include you in that rather than mind their business more. I judge people by how they treat me. This framework is a very limited slice of their lives and I know that. Most people are posting with a persona that they would not have in their real lives. So the nature of online communication is to amplify negitive traits. I accept that with the medium. I am trying to get less judgmental, not more. I am really only interested in how a person interacts with me for good reason. I work at bringing my communication with each poster to a level I can enjoy. That is my personal agenda here. Taking your point of view on them serves no purpose for me. And frankly many times I disagree with how you are characterizing them in the worst possible light. I think you have a little self-fulfilling prophesy going on with them. Your contempt is so unrelenting it dehumanizes them, and vice versa. So neither side is encouraged to show up in a sensitive, appreciative way. I've been in that place so I know how it feels. How can you form a genuine friendship with people like that, even if they restrain themselves when they're interacting with you? To me, that seems grossly hypocritical. Again your judgmentalness is ratcheted up to high for me. This is not a friendship in the world, these are all online communications within a very limited scope. But a guy like Barry who has taken the time to listen to my music and communicate with me about it and has shared more about his life onffline in emails with me, has earned more closeness than someone who has not. So my perspective on him is not influenced by how you two relate. I know you feel victimized by him but I have trouble seeing it that way. You have created the relationship with him that you want,and so have I. They are not connected. Judging me as a hypocrite because I am focusing on a different and vastly more pleasant side of him seems like a very sour philosophy Judy. It sounds like a POV that would make you pissed off a lot at people. I want no part of that. snip Neither of them have ever taken a personal shot at me. We post to each other

Curtis, I think you really believe you try to be fair, but you're too often blind to your own double standards. I find that easy to believe. This is a bit of a mosh pit and I'm not above anything that goes on here. But by your standard of fairness you could be accused of not speaking out about Nabby being aggressive personally against me and other posters. But we each pick our battles here don't we? There is a limit to how much busy body activities I can tolerate in myself. I'm not trying to post out at the beginning of the week so I'm not going to speak up in situations that I don't care about. So in that little skirmish, I had some history of feeling that Nabby is a name-caller and a mean-spirited personal attacker. So when I saw him pulling that on Paul I spoke up. Likewise you have a history with Paul and corrected me in my attempt to saint him. All valid choices IMO. I enjoyed your points and agreed with some of them that corrected my POV. That process is what makes this place fun for me. You are one of my most reliable responders to make me think about what I am writing in a different way. Can you really blame me that I spend most of my time in that kind of exchange here and pick my dogfights carefully?

Now, in those 32 years, and in the years that preceded them, what have you done for anyone *else*? The friend I wrote about today is about 2/3 your age. For the first half of her life she was a public defender who worked for pennies to help people who couldn't afford to pay for a lawyer themselves. Since switching careers, she has created several hundred new jobs for other people and facilitated the promotion of dozens of women within the companies she worked for. While doing this, full-time, she managed to teach several thousand people how to meditate, free, paying for all of it herself. In the last few months, she has taught several thou- sand Indian men and women how to become self- sufficient by teaching them computer skills. I understand that, like Dick Cheney, you had other priorities in your life, and I'm pleased as punch that you achieved them. But part of my definition of a feminist is some- one who walks the walk of helping other people, and doesn't just talk about the mistreatment of those people and blame the mistreaters. No response is necessary or desired. I'm just explaining why I feel the way I do about you personally. When I was speaking of feminists (very much with quotes), I was referring NOT to just you and RD on this forum but to thous- ands of people, both men and women, whom I have encountered in life who seem to have focused on the negatives of sexual inequality and whined about them monotopically, without ever doing much to provide any positives. I appreciate you speaking up about what you have accomplished in terms of your personal goals, and I think that's admirable. It's just that from time to time, especially on *this* forum, you should remember that you are addressing a lot of people who put their personal goals aside or on hold for decades because it was more important to them to help other people than it was to help themselves.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Curtis Mediicates! ! [Caste (Was Guru Dev really Santa? )]
Thanks for the hooray Edg. I am such a dilitantte with meditation, I wouldn't hold your breath for any deep insights from this fool. There are so many others here who take the whole thing so much more seriously. For me it seems like some kind of brain endorphin addiction that I picked up again like an AA dude fallling off the wagon and finding out his disease was exactly where he had left it when he resumes! That is a little negative, but I do sense that my brain is effected in a way it likes, and I detect that this may be something different from it being good for me. It is a primal pleasure. But when Vaj and Turq talk about beginner meditation, that resonates fine with me. I'm a training wheels kind of guy in this realm. I'm the guy I used to try to mindfuck into taking a residence course after checking his meditation who would look at me wryly and head for the door, happy to enjoy a twice a day break, but not trying to start giving Lord Shiva a little reach around! But meditating without the belief package has some advantages for me just as tripping without magical thinking was much more enjoyable for me. When I was full of magical thinking, acid would make the world a much squirrelier and less stable place where ANYTHING could happen. As a non-magical thinker, the trip was so much more calm and centered because I wasn't looking at the experience as Canstaneda would, as an insight into another world. Meditation for me now is kind of like that. Same expansion and internal party, but without any implications that any of it means something more than its face value. I am carefully monitoring the dissociation factor and if I started lifting off again as far as I was in the old days I would probably chill on it for a while.

I'm rooting fer ya. One thing I would be looking for -- after meditation when I would review the events -- is the differences between the subtleties -- such as: -- blank vs. aware blank or -- silence concurrent with awareness vs. silence concurrent with time/space -- energy in body vs. a topic spurred emotion or -- love emanating vs. a welcoming open silence -- dream vs. astral and real -- a step inward towards non-doing vs. becoming aware of the vastness of doingness as subtle levels of mentation become more clearly graspable. -- directed hallucination vs. deep nature revealed -- unchangingness vs. unchanging things. -- mantra and silence equating to the practice of samyama vs. mantra is entirely spontaneous without any stink of egoic intent. And on and on could such polarities be poetically suggested. I don't know that I am yet fit to return to such an experiment -- I have so much of an intellectual veneer to poke through first -- that is be naturally aware instead of my constantly inspecting processes by defining them on the fly according to Advaitan dogma.

Thanks man. I appreciate your checking it out. I never perform with drummers but love to jam with them. A real drummer can lay down much more complex rhythms than I can with my bass and hi-hat. It challenges me, changes the music and teaches me a lot. I get a lot more out of that kind of creative jam then I do from playing with another guitarist. Other guitarists tend to fill in the silences that this style requires to preserve the feel. I have also had some great jams with people playing dumbek or djimbe hand drums. I have always had a strong affinity with percussion and rhythm. If you don't get that right people don't move their hips which is my whole purpose of my life, getting those hips moving! --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, hugheshugo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@ wrote: Sorry, thanks for catching that.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Curtis: is my memory correct?
Yes, good memory. I was a good friend of Paul's and was very interested in hanging out with Cistertian monks with Paul while at MIU. It was an unique exposure to an interesting culture. Paul is back in the monastery in Georgia last I heard. I lost touch with him in the 80's. That sucks about them demolishing the MIU chapel, it was one of the only charming buildings on campus, great for music. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, shempmcgurk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer groups@ wrote: on 9/17/06 1:55 PM, shempmcgurk at shempmcgurk@ wrote: And am out of line drawing a parallel between what the Taliban did and what the TMO desires to do with the monastery?
