Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Siddha Medicine , Navapashanam & Healing

2011-11-03 Thread Denise Evans
I'm reviewing backwards and deleting so just got to thisI won't be doing 
TM.  I have been exploring the concept of what "separating the message from the 
messenger" feels like.  When it comes to "spirituality" I simply can't separate 
these fully enough to sign up with anyone or any group who claims to know the 
answer or have the answer.  The  "hypocritical" and "hypocrisy" tapes start to 
run in my brain.  

Objectively, I think TM would greatly benefit me as a technique...but I can't 
get past the rest of it if I am truly honest with myself...so if I did shell 
out the money, it would be wasted.  

I have never believed that there is only one way, however, and there are many 
choices of meditation technique available.  Thanks for answering.

These are incredibly frustrating questions to try to
answer for a TMer, because the bottom line is, you
can't grasp why it's a "secret" until you learn it
yourself (and not everyone does even then). And of
course that sounds like total B.S. The problem is
that unlikely as it seems, it's true.

The nature of TM is such that it can't be learned
properly from a book. There have been a couple of
books (not by TM teachers) that purported to explain
how it's done, but you'd be *extremely* unlikely to 
pick it up correctly from words on a page. (I'm
talking about the *method* here, not the mantras; 
the mantras are a whole 'nother issue.)

Ah, come on, Denise, that's not fair. We all wish 
everyone could learn it for free. Most of us realize
learning it properly requires a trained teacher,
though, and that trying to explain how it's done
outside the context of standard TM instruction by a
trained teacher is not likely to lead to proper
practice.

I'm making it sound as if TM is *difficult*, but in
fact it's just the opposite; it's easier than you
can imagine. And paradoxically, that's why learning
it requires someone who has been trained to teach
it, because they know how to lead you into the
experience of effortlessness. Every other skill we
learn requires some degree of effort, so the knack
of letting go of all effort is novel and takes a
novel approach to convey.

As ridiculously easy as TM is, it's also easy to fall
into making it more difficult than it is, and then
you don't get the benefits. Unlike most other things
in life, the less you know about the method before
you learn it, the more likely the instruction is to
"click" right from the start.

In a very real sense, by declining to try to explain
TM, we're protecting *your* investment should you ever
decide to learn it from a trained TM teacher.

There really is no specific "secret" that could be
"released," first of all. If there's a "secret," it's
the whole method of instruction, and that requires
training.

Second, most of us here, at least, think the TMO could
have done a more effective job of getting people to
practice TM. But that's a different issue.

I don't expect this to convince you. All I can say is
that I stand behind what I just wrote 100 percent.

Personally, I thought the nod to my contributions was nice...I consider their 
value basically worthless, but that's the kind of humble person I am :)   And 
yes, I find this place intimidating - mostly because of the unabashed and 
fearless willingness of the participants to "be" who they are or who they want 
to think they are...it doesn't really matter.  And, in general, my 
"intimidation" is a direct projection of my unresolved personal pathologies. 
Not for this forum.

You seem to have bought into two of the false memes
Barry has done his best to establish.

First, by far the majority of the criticism directed
at Barry is not about his comments concerning TM, it's
about his incredibly obnoxious behavior toward others
on FFL. There are plenty of TM critics here who don't
come in for the same disapprobation that Barry does,
because they treat others like human beings rather than
like garbage.

Second, the notion that TMers are "threatened" by what
he has to say about TM/MMY/the TMO is absurd. That one
disagrees with somebody's view or disapproves of their
behavior, or both, doesn't mean they feel threatened
by it.

> Judy has pointed out many times the Turq has made an error
> in his use of TM words

I think you may be thinking of Vaj rather than Barry
here. Vaj is the one who most often gets "TM words"
wrong.

What Barry primarily shows the dark side of is Barry.

...do you think I feel "intimidated" by FFL? No? Then
why am I not on his list?

Note also, by the way, that while he does put Denise on
his list of those not intimidated by FFL, it was her
confession that *she finds FFL intimidating* that
initiated this exchange.

Bottom line, he wasn't really paying attention to what
was being said, nor did he have anything insightful to
point out. He simply felt the need to lash out at the
people who intimidate *him*.

And that, in a nutshell, is why so many here criticize
Barry.

Yes, I saw.  Actually, I'm way behind in viewing so will probably delete most 
of them.  My real life intruded.  This list is prolific.

I was asking in part, because I had to sign a "confidentiality agreement" when 
I learned the Amma IAM meditation.  Big red fucking flag which I consciously 
evaluated as I was sitting there, but decided to go through with because that 
was part of my deal with myself: "Follow through to get the full experience."  
Actually, I wonder what my teenage daughter signed in her "special" class.  I 
threw everything out so can't remember now but it was a simple combination of 
relaxing yoga postures known to all, plus a visualization (the kind where you 
think of yourself in a meadow) known to all, plus a silent meditation of our 
choice.  It wasn't that "special" as I remember (I threw it all out on 
principle after the fact) but it was stressed that everything had to be done in 
a very specific order to achieve the results.  I guess the order is what they 
were protecting.  Confidentiality agreement?  Seriously?  Yuk.  

True spirituality does not involve this type of BS.  Occupy the Domes?  
Seriously?  If they were public, they would be full.  What reality are those 
"dome goers" in? Sounds like visions of people lost in the grandiose idea that 
they are "saviours."  Could be worse.  That was a good one.

I still fail to understand what is it about TM that is so special that it 
cannot be divulged without payment.  If the TMO is trying to change the world 
and they are truly sincere in this, why is it all a big secret?  Why is the

Awww...that's so sweet.  I don't know why everyone is so __ about you 
(never mind, yes I do).

I do find this place intimidating..but I figure I landed here for a reason (or 
some weird cosmic joke).  Overall, I find this much better entertainment than 
Court TV, pretty informative, and the most unusual blend of sincerity and BS 
I've every encountered.  And its helping me in other confusing ways.  I'm 
feeling a shift insideback to the living.

I've cruised through Byron Katie and am moving on to Susan Campbell and am 
reading the book "Getting Real"...wait, that doesn't apply here (except that it 
does).

Naah. We've just been at it forever. It's
sort of like the one about the prisoners
who tell jokes by the number because they've
heard them so often, they've memorized them.

1ST INMATE: 803!

INMATES: HAHAHAHAHA!!

2ND INMATE: 385!

INMATES: HOHOHOHOHO!!

NEW INMATE: 517!

[silence]

NEW INMATE: Why didn't anybody laugh?

OLD INMATE: Don't feel bad. You know, some
folks can tell a joke, some can't.

Yes they were so precious. Oh and I love Orange tabbies. I once took in a 
Orange tabby who seemed to have been obviously abandoned. He was loving but he 
would fart really terribly lying down right next to my face :-), but I couldn't 
push him away since he was so loving.

U mean U very smart, learned people who still actually read books didn't
know these details?   Sorry, I would have pointed out the interesting
details about the Swami.

Sal, U ask if he was sleeping with his Western students?   Of course.
Opposites attract.   Hispanics and Middle Eastern people love blonds.   I
grew up with more fair haired people, so brunettes are my style.   Erma
Bombeck said it very well in the title of her book *The Grass is Always
Greener Over the Septic Tank*.

Damn!  I thought I had something figured out :)    

Ya'll are so far out of my league...I knew that for sure when someone posted 
the Osho video (George Carlin originating) on the many uses/meanings of the 
word "f..k"  after one of my sad rants.  (Kinda like the word love, actually.)  
Pulled me right out of the massive shame attack I was in.

Thank you, thank you. We'll be here all

Don't think so, Denise. He knows I'm not a
wallower in heavy metals. And it sure never
occurred to me that anything he said in that
first post was directed at me. I think he
was just stuck for a putdown in response to
my editorial comments.

The comedy routines today are just LOL funny (at least in the level of 
multiverse I'm residing in).  

And, come on now..."the bait" was definitely directed at "her."

That "bait" was a tiny bit of deliberately exaggerated hyperbole that was in no 
way directed at you, but I had a pretty good idea it would very likely result 
in you running up your post count before the end of the evening.

"Pushing" your "buttons" is barely avoidable, since for more than a decade and 
a half you've instantly reacted to such barely noticeable bits of rhetoric from 
certain individuals, and had an insatiable need to tell me and others what we 
already know. None of it actually has anything to do with you, except in your 
own warped and narcissistic head. Just like Ravi, you're proud to be an 
asshole, and not much else, here.

I heal with the Divine Energy of Shirdi Sai Baba ... some can pay so they do - 
others who have limited finance - of course there is no charge, just some seva 
they do in their own communities...Sai Ram

Whatever the place, the Lord has reserved, for those who pray on the weaknesses 
of others---for profit, Robin won't be going there, its not in heaven; which is 
why I plan to take copies of all his posts with me, to review with 
Maharishi---point by pointas respectfully as I know Robin would want me

Yeah.  Like he and his "brokers" preyed on us.   Maharishi said to start
businesses.Not scams.   The businesses should at least have been as on
the up and up as the way Maharishi handled our money and ATC credits.   Uhh,
wait a minute.  I might have to rethink that.
