In this statement alone, you lose all credibility. You have no understanding of what constitutes addiction. Your notion that assessing or recognizing a behavior is an addiction as being 'mean-spirited' is again, quite simply, nonsense. Apart from assigning to me a motivation that I don't have, your statement indicates that your perceptions of addiction (likely unacknowledged on your part) are that addiction is a moral failing or is being used as a 'put down'. You live in Fairfield. Considering events in FF over the last few years. I suggest to you that you examine such perceptions, and to put it bluntly, that you gain some rudimentary knowledge and see both how incorrect and offensive these perceptions are. In fact, if you care to read Serious Richard's posts, you will surely see they are intelligent and well thought out. Not surprisingly, I disagree with you that Richard's posts have been 'intelligent and well thought out'. However, more revealing to me is your arrogant assumption that I have not read them. Do you really think I would comment about someone's posts if I hadn't read them? No, I dont think that you do. But this is in line with your assignment of 'mean-spirited' motivations to Michael, Barry, me, and others when we have made comments that you do not like. Feel free to assign whatever motivations you want to me (FFL is the perfect place for this)

You seem to be really taking this posting thing seriously. It's supposed to be fun - something to do while you're at work or in between watching TV re-runs. Some people just feel better when they have someone to talk to. I promise not to make fun of your religion or politics anymore. Sorry I hurt your feelings and wasted your time when you could have been watching Star Trek. LoL! But, you have to admit that talking about science and practicing TM at the same time - praying to the Hindu gods - is kind of funny. Sometimes it can be difficult working through the cognitive dissonance. Do you do the TM 2 x 24? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Wise move, everyone else should just ignore him.

As for Norris there are several things we don't agree on such as the war on drugs and cannabis legalization, but we do agree that it is important to vote and the need for a strong self-defense. Fascinatingly enough, back in the 60s I once got to face off against Chuck Norris in a no-contact karate contest. It was my first contest, and I was a lowly brown belt thrown into the black belt category because they didn't have enough entrants to have a separate brown belt competition. I managed to whup my first black belt opponent, and was thus feeling pretty spunky and invincible when the time came for my second match, and out walked this other black belt. I didn't know him from Adam. He not only went on to win the contest that day, but went on to win his first World Championship that year. Our match lasted less than thirty seconds. I put on my fiercest warrior face and tried to stare him down and he laughed and pulled one of those spinning double back kicks on me and pulled it about a quarter-inch from my chin. I didn't even see it coming, he was that fast. But being good at karate clearly doesn't mean that you're good at being a human being. He has since said many of the dumbest and most despicable things a human being can, and seems proud of saying them.

As far as I can tell, the charge of "obsession" falls completely on the shoulders of those who are so attached to their beliefs and so petty as to get uptight when they encounter ideas contrary to their own. Bitching about others having such ideas is weird, and IMO the sign of a weak mind. Becoming *so* uptight about it that they feel the need to try to *silence* the contrary ideas -- and then, when that doesn't work, run away and form a forum where no one is *allowed* to express contrary ideas -- is the sign of religious fanaticism. > You did seem to get uptight and run away from the un-moderated Usenet forum to the moderated FFL forum on Yahoo. I guess you got upset when I questioned your veracity concerning your *obsession* with Rama levitation events. You got real *silent* about your witnessing. Go figure. Apparently your weak mental state just couldn't take any close scientific inquiry - it looks like your religious beliefs won't allow any questioning of your faith, even if it has been demonstrated not to work or even to be true. I mean, if you can't poke fun at yourself for believing in bun-hopping and levitation, you must be a religious fanatic. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but I guess questioning human flying isn't *allowed* in your religion - a sure sign of Rama fantacism. LoL! > As Curtis and I (and Sal) have said many, many times -- and as the religious fanatics refuse to believe -- we come here for FUN. It's an "alma mater" kinda place, as Sal suggested. Here we can talk about things we *used to* take seriously but don't any more, and we can explore those ideas in more depth now that we're not part of a cult that's trying to keep us *from* exploring them more deeply. If there is an "obsession" here, I suggest it's on the part of those who literally HATE the people who express ideas contrary to the TM/MMY dogma, but who keep reading every word they write, just so they can get off on the righteous indignation they've become addicted to.

Fascinatingly enough, back in the 60s I once got to face off against Chuck Norris in a no-contact karate contest. It was my first contest, and I was a lowly brown belt thrown into the black belt category because they didn't have enough entrants to have a separate brown belt competition. I managed to whup my first black belt opponent, and was thus feeling pretty spunky and invincible when the time came for my second match, and out walked this other black belt. I didn't know him from Adam. He not only went on to win the contest that day, but went on to win his first World Championship that year. Our match lasted less than thirty seconds. I put on my fiercest warrior face and tried to stare him down and he laughed and pulled one of those spinning double back kicks on me and pulled it about a quarter-inch from my chin. I didn't even see it coming, he was that fast. But being good at karate clearly doesn't mean that you're good at being a human being. He has since said many of the dumbest and most despicable things a human being can, and seems proud of saying them.

From: "Michael Jackson mjackso...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]" He is the one in the show who usually gets his teeth kicked out by Chuck Norris Actually, Willytex's *politics* are more along the lines of Chuck Norris, who has turned into a rabid Chrisschun right-winger, even a few cans shorter of a six-pack than Ted Nugent. Fascinatingly enough, back in the 60s I once got to face off against Chuck Norris in a no-contact karate contest. It was my first contest, and I was a lowly brown belt thrown into the black belt category because they didn't have enough entrants to have a separate brown belt competition. I managed to whup my first black belt opponent, and was thus feeling pretty spunky and invincible when the time came for my second match, and out walked this other black belt. I didn't know him from Adam. He not only went on to win the contest that day, but went on to win his first World Championship that year. Our match lasted less than thirty seconds. I put on my fiercest warrior face and tried to stare him down and he laughed and pulled one of those spinning double back kicks on me and pulled it about a quarter-inch from my chin. I didn't even see it coming, he was that fast. But being good at karate clearly doesn't mean that you're good at being a human being. He has since said many of the dumbest and most despicable things a human being can, and seems proud of saying them.

As far as I can tell, the charge of "obsession" falls completely on the shoulders of those who are so attached to their beliefs and so petty as to get uptight when they encounter ideas contrary to their own. Bitching about others having such ideas is weird, and IMO the sign of a weak mind. Becoming *so* uptight about it that they feel the need to try to *silence* the contrary ideas -- and then, when that doesn't work, run away and form a forum where no one is *allowed* to express contrary ideas -- is the sign of religious fanaticism. That's the thing about memes. They can be either productive or destructive, all they need is a willing mind to enact them and they become part of a society. The TMO - like all religious groups - is what you might call a static society, the purpose of the people who have adopted it's way of looking at things is to keep things the same. This is because they believe in the core teaching and it's the teaching that tells us it is complete and cannot be improved upon, but it goes deeper. I remember being told that I shouldn't wear black, the reason given was that black is the opposite of light and we are supposed to be radiating light to the world. Crazy shit right? But I adopted the meme unconsciously and stopped wearing all my black T-shirts. You know you've been got to by a repressive organisation when someone else turns up wearing black and you feel shock at seeing it. Sounds weird and innocuous but there are plenty of examples of control that you will pick up if you get involved in such a static society. What length to have your hair (men only) what age you can grow a beard, what time to go to bed. All these things are part of a social system that exists to stay the same. And we haven't even got to the cosmological beliefs! Being static is only a problem because people aren't static and naturally have ideas. This was the job of the governors of the age of enlightenment - keep everyone on message and use every opportunity to have the memes adopted by others or reinforce them in anyone who wavers. If someone challenges the orthodoxy too much then they have to go. I did and it was made clear that I should probably go somewhere else. What's always boggled my mind is how many of the people who have *BEEN* "kept in line" by TM teachers and "Governors of the Age of Enlightenment" (I mean...just *think* about that term, and that people are *so* brainwashed that they take it for granted and never question it) react. Rather than resenting having been told what they can and cannot do and what they can and cannot think for years by these dweebs, *they aspire to be just like them*. Thus you find people like Jim Flanegin, who never had what it took to become a TM teacher, wanting to become just like them and impose his will on others and force them to live the way *he* wants them to. In a very real sense, this strikes me as the same kind of "inherited behavior" we see in victims of child abuse. Instead of growing up to hate such abuse, they tend to grow up to become abusers themselves. I find the very existence of "The_Leak" quite fascinating. It started because one person on FFL (Jim Flanegin) had a grudge against another person on FFL (moi) because he wouldn't buy into his (ludicrous) claims of being enlightened. "Mr. Enlightened" got angrier and angrier and angrier until one day I used a throwaway phrase to make a point, and Jimbo went fuckin' crazy over it and started slinging libel accusing me of being a pedophile, and encouraging people to sic the authorities on me in the real world. He *also* did the same thing that Doug/Buck is *still* doing, and started appealing to Rick Archer to have me "thrown off" of FFL, and created whole threads with this in the Subject line, thus smearing my name in search engines. Rick of course ignored him like the idiotic control freak he was acting like. Me, because what he was doing was ILLEGAL and the very definition of libel, I sicced the Dutch cops on his ass. "Mr. Enlightened" reacted by not only NOT apologizing for the libel, but by running away and forming his own group, where he has now developed a history of banning anyone who dares to say something he doesn't like. It's not just the COWARDICE of all of this that gets me, but the "abused trying to become the abuser" phenomenon that makes me roll my eyes. After all these years of being indoctrinated by the TM movement, it's understandable that someone with as weak an intellect as Jimbo's can no longer even *conceive* of thinking any way other than he's been told to think. What is less understandable is that he wants to be able to do to other people what was done to him. I guess he finally managed it, by creating a forum on which *HE* has the final word on what anyone can say and what they can't. I hope he's finally happy. That would be

This an improvement over one of the world's other great static society's - Islam - where they'd chop off my head for doubting the prophet but it's still worrying that a group who's purpose is evolution doesn't like people doing things differently, or worse still even talking about it. This is Buck's quandary, he wants the beliefs he has adopted to stay true in a world where nothing does. And he wants a forum that was designed to talk about his organisation to not talk about it - except in ways that support the foundational memes. But he admits himself that since the perpetrator of the religion has died things have started to shift. For instance, the recognition that people have psychiatric issues that TM and it's teachings can't help. Sure they are still doing "vedic" crap to try and deal with it but it should be a sign to him that things change because people have ideas. Marshy would have stamped on them and denied there could ever be a problem with TM. Things evolve, Buck will maybe one day realise this process of challenging and coming up with new ideas to explain things is how you, me and every other curious sceptic got to the position we are in now. But to do that you have to challenge the static memes of religious fundamentalism that stop you evolving. Without realising it he's already made the first step.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Why did Mother Divine repurchase property in Boone, NC and then again sell? [1 Attachment]
Definitely not joking. My friend heard about it from some people in her book club, and she told me about it the day before the event. It seems that this guy is famous for doing this here: http://www.abc.nl/frontpage/events/index.php?show=details&place=abc&event=1436 Because we were first in line and there were only about seven people signed up to pitch their books to him when he arrived, we got five minutes or more instead of the advertised one minute. To be honest, the whole reason I dashed off a story idea the night before and went was because it's not every day you get to pitch your book to the Big Lebowski. :-) And he *did* seem to like my basic idea, although he warned me that I'd have to be a helluva writer to pull of the kind of "hybrid" book I have in mind. I pitched it as "Raymond Chandler meets Christopher Moore in a Blade Runner universe," and that's what I had in mind -- the basic format of a Chandler detective novel, but set in a futuristic, Blade Runner-like Amsterdam, and with Chris Moore-like humor and weirdness. The miracles being attributed to Lakshimi, after all, really *are* happening. As followers of FFL and our ongoing discussions know, that doesn't really require anything mystical or magical -- if someone prays to the man-made, four-armed hooker they believe is the goddess Lakshmi incarnate to cure their cancer or help their business thrive, the Placebo Effect would supply all the magic needed to make it happen. To be kept in mind, of course, is that Oscar -- as nice as he was to not only listen to my pitch but offer advice -- did *not* actually offer to publish it. Although it didn't really come up, I think he sensed that this was an idea that I thought up the night before, and so he asked to see some pages. That's the real "acid test," both from his side and from mine. I have ideas like this all the time, but most of them don't "stick," and I lose interest in them before I actually write the story or book. This could be another one. But I have a few "days off" from my regular writing gig coming up, so maybe I'll give this one a shot. It would be hard work -- having to spend 5€ each direction to go into Amsterdam, and then having to sit in cafes in the Red Light District getting drunk or stoned or both and writing up my impressions of what it'll look like in 18 years, but this is the sort of back-breaking work that a writer has to deal with. :-) I *do* really like the Lakshmi character -- in my mind she's a lot like Moreena Baccarin's character of Inara in "Firefly," only with four arms -- and I like the idea of trying to figure out how one of my favorite weird places in the world (Amsterdam's Red Light District) will get even weirder in the future. Non-human sexbots are a given...the Japanese are already working on robotic versions of them. My version would be more lab-developed replicants a la Blade Runner...grown in a lab from human eggs and sperm, but then manipulated genetically to produce certain characteristics. By the time my story takes place, these replicants have not only proved that they can achieve sentience, they've been "liberated" and theoretically been granted the same rights as natural-born humans. So the obvious next step is for one of them to become a god. Goddess, actually. :-) Here's the two-armed version: From: "Michael Jackson mjackso...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]" I can't tell if you are joking or not but I want to read the book if you ever publish it - will it come out in Dutch first? And which publisher does this? I am impressed with their willingness to make themselves accessible.

Actually, wait until I write it and find a publisher. I just have to comment on this because the other day I went with a friend into Amsterdam to have a five-minute sitdown with a publisher who was there allowing people to pitch their book ideas to him. He's done this before, and he's actually ended up "discovering" a few writers and publishing them. My friend wanted to go because she's been seriously working on a book idea for a while and wanted to pitch it to him. I tagged along because it seemed like such a weird thing to do, but the problem was that I didn't have a book idea to pitch him. So I dashed one out the night before and took it with me and did my 5-minute "elevator pitch" to him, just for the fun of it. The problem was that he actually liked it and wanted to see pages. Now I have to write them. Bummer. :-) From: salyavin808 To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, Januar

So I dashed one out the night before and took it with me and did my 5-minute "elevator pitch" to him, just for the fun of it. The problem was that he actually liked it and wanted to see pages. Now I have to write them. Bummer. :-) OK, I can't resist. I'll probably never get around to writing it because I've got a few better ideas that interest me more, but since the idea is already all copyrighted and all, and because nobody else could probably write it the way I would even if they stole the idea, and because some here might get a kick out of the idea, here it is. Brahmaloka Blues Sam is a private detective, barely eking out a living inthe Red Light District of Amsterdam in the year 2032. He's not a very gooddetective, so his clients tend to be artificially-created robosex workers whofeel that they're being discriminated against, in flagrant disregard of the2027 Replicant Protection Act. It's basicfollow-the-client-and-take-point-and-shoot-video-of-scumbags-trying-to-hurt-them-or-extort-money-from-themwork, and it's boring, but it pays the bills. And then one day into Sam's office walks Lakshmi, thecurrent queen of the Red Light District. She's a veritable celebrity -- sixfeet tall, wearing a sari like her Hindu goddess namesake, with dark hairflowing to her waist, sumptuous breasts, and four working arms and hands.That's what the Replicant designers thought would appeal to Hindu touristslooking for a little robosex adventure, and boy! were they right. Guys justcouldn't *wait* to get some of that action, and she quickly developed a lot ofloyal female customers as well, so now she's the hottest ticket in town. But as Lakshmiexplains why she's here to see Sam, it becomes obvious that she's not popularwith everybody. She's been getting death threats lately, and that's where itgets weird. They're from Hindu supremacists. And it's not that they're offendedbecause she's been designed to look like one of their goddesses and they thinkthat's heresy. It's that some of Lakshmi's customers are so taken with her thatinstead of paying to have sex with her they've starting paying so that they canfall at her feet and worship her and pray to her to grant them miracles. Whatthe Hindu supremacists are pissed about is that the miracles have actually beenhappening.

Heh heh. Wait until my book comes out. Actually, wait until I write it and find
a publisher.
I just have to comment on this because the other day I went with a friend into
Amsterdam to have a five-minute sitdown with a publisher who was there allowing
people to pitch their book ideas to him. He's done this before, and he's
actually ended up "discovering" a few writers and publishing them. My friend
wanted to go because she's been seriously working on a book idea for a while
and wanted to pitch it to him. I tagged along because it seemed like such a

I still like TM as it goes and have fond memories of my time living there, but you've got to transcend the crap you are in to evolve. It's the movement types who aren't curious and carry on like everything is great that worry me.

Good to know you have you fingers on the brain pulses of everyone in fairfield
- or are you just referring to people like yourself who defend the Movement,
Marshy and especially the university even though you don't actually do the much
vaunted techniques themselves anymore? Looks like if they are good enough to
defend, they would be good enough to practice. Hard to let go of those
addictions ain't it, Feste?

Good bit of PR I thought, us meditator's fulfilling the vision of the medicine

didn't last long I'm happy to say with hindsight, but I was annoyed to be one
of the only ones left behind at the time.
Still, I made the most of it with a year long rounding course by the sea in the

Cool. I'd love to go and have a look round and take some photos.
Do you remember the story the TMO used to tell about there being an old Injun
legend about white men in white clothes flying round the top of their "holy"
mountain? LOL.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Why did Mother Divine repurchase property in Boone, NC and then again sell?
It's amazing how all you guys who hate TM so much take such a keen interest in everything the TM movement does. No one I know in Fairfield takes much interest in it all. Maybe the folks on campus do, which makes them rather like you, although for different reasons. But I guess you just have a need to feel smug and superior, and the TM movement just serves as a vehicle for that. You are, after all, so much better and wiser and more knowledgeable than they are, right? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Nice place, nice photo's.

Cool. I'd love to go and have a look round and take some photos.
Do you remember the story the TMO used to tell about there being an old Injun
legend about white men in white clothes flying round the top of their "holy"
mountain? LOL.

Hi, is this a topic that has already been discussed on this forum? Some years
ago I heard that Mother Divine repurchased their original campus in Boone,
North Carolina, some later the news was that they had a gain sold it. This
seems a really strange move. Does anybody know the reason?
I heard rumours from sources in North Carolina of long negotiations to buy the
property from the Kaplans. When this was finally accomplished, estimates for
repairs had to be made as the property lay dormant for quite a while. Mother
Divine of course wants everything just so. But when some of the walls were
opened up, there was apparently a lot of damage, by mould and water. The cost
of fixing this, so I heard, was prohibitive. The damage was not discovered
during the inspections leading up to purchase. I wonder where Jyotish was when
this deal was made (not that that would have any predictive effect on the
outcome)? They sold it to one of the other spiritual groups in the area, I
think. TMO financial shenanigans can come back to haunt, as TMO promises not
kept were the reason the property had to be abandoned in the first place. There
is probably some information on this in the FFL archives, if you can find it
now that the neo interface here makes it difficult to do precise searches
