Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: warning from one the brightest Jyotish minds alive
I said that because I caught a piece on the news, this morning, in which Chuck Hagle, Secretary of Defense , was making a statement, somewhere, that Israel is an independent nation that has every right to defend it's self. We share their concerns over the same issue of Iran's development of Nukes, but our timing is a little different. I thought this was a *green-light* form the Secretary of Defense for Israel to do what they think they have to do. Netanyahu also indicated, earlier this year, that May or early summer, would be the time a threshold would be crossed. Time will tell.

Very humbling feeling mixed with sweet love. Yes, but does she let you see the children? Buddhist and Shaivite yogis have actually perfected such interdimensional congress for the expansion of consciousness, but I think it's fair to say, not all such unions are necessarily evolutionary. But union with a yakshini is many times more intense than with a human. V Of the Sabbath of the Adepts In the black hours of earth, when the Christian superstition with fell blight withered most malignantly the peoples of Europe, when our own Holy Order was dispersed and the sanctity of its preceptories lay violate, there were yet found certain to hold Truth in their hearts, and, loving Light, to bear the Lamp of Virtue beneath the Cloak of Secrecy. And these at certain seasons went at night by ways open or hidden to heaths and mountains, and there dancing together, and with strange suppers and spells diverse, did call forth Him, whom the enemy called ignorantly Satan, and was in truth the Great God Pan, or Bacchus, or even that Baphomet whom the Templars worshipped secretly, and yet worship as in the VI° all Illustrious Knights of the Holy Order of Kadosch, all Dame Companions of the Holy Grail are taught to do, or BABALON the Beautiful, or even Zeus Apollo of the Greeks. And each when first inducted to the revel was made partner of that Incarnate One by the Consummation of the Rite of Marriage. Consider of this. VI Of Classical Fables The Ancients of every nation report their heroes to have been born of the marriage of Gods with mortals. As, Romulus and Remus begotten of the God Mars upon a vestal Virgin, Hercules of Jove, Buddha of Vishnu in the form of a white elephant with six tusks, Jesus of Jehovah upon a virgin, and many another. Even true Gods were born of mortal mothers, as Dionysius of Semele. Also they recount many loves of heaven for earth, Diana for Endymion, Zeus for Leda, Danae, Europa, and the rest; even Hades issued from his gloomy kingdom to ravish the maid Persephone. There are also loves of Gods for nymphs, Bacchus for the Ariadne, Zeus for Io, Pan for Syrinx; there is no end of these. And satyrs, fawns, centaurs, dryads, a thousand gracious tribes, leap lightly and lustfully through their legends. Again we have the loves of fairies for mankind, and the commerce of the Beni Elohim with the daughters of men; and yet again the marriage of Orpheus with Eurydice a nymph, and the fatal nets that Laura, Melusina, the Sirens, Lilith and many another cast for men. It is even said that to every Neophyte of the Order of A\A\ appeareth a demon in the form of a woman to pervert him; within Our own knowledge have not less than nine brethren been utterly cast out thereby. There are also vain loves, as that of Ixion for Hera, of Actaeon for Artemis. Consider of this. VII Of Certain Greek Rites Among the peoples of the Balkan Peninsula and especially the Greeks, beneath the bush of their false Christianity, is hidden the wheat of Demeter. And even as the Muslim trust to be united by death to the Hur al’ Ayn of Paradise, so do these others yet think that earthly marriage is but fornication, for that Death is a nuptial wherein the soul is united to that God or Goddess to whom on earth his lust aspired. Thus, even in the embraces of their lovers, their hearts were fixed on Artemis or on Aphrodite or on Ares or on Apollo, as the inner tendency urges and the intuition thereof proclaims. Consider of this. VIII Of Succubi and Incubi From all time the life of man has now and again overflowed, in sleep, without will, and only reflected itself dimly and fantastically by dream into his knowledge. Now since naught can be lost on any plane, but only changed in appearance, the inner substance of this life-stuff does indeed beget monsters in part material, which the doctors of the Middle Ages called Incubi or Succubi according as they performed the functions of male or female. These, too, begat children upon women; but not

The story here is largely non-verbal, as much of the story is about an advanced spiritual technology, interfacing with a Brahman-like unified field, which is portrayed visually and which only needs to be briefly described verbally. An interesting aside, at the beginning of the previews where you're told to put on your 3D glasses, the theatre I saw it at opened with a 3D advert. by the US Air Force. It was very clearly targeted at kids and teens. The tagline is It's not science fiction: it's what we do every day; it's the United States Air Force.

Is it even better than that? I've seen 3 or 4 IMAX's in 3-D the past couple of years and I must say I was very impressed. Prior to that, I was only familiar with the 3-D technology from the '60s and I wasn't very impressed (I was more impressed with John Waters' Smellovision or Odorama, whatever it was he called it!). So if this is, as touted, a 3-D technology that is a quantum leap over even the IMAX 3-D, it must be incredible. By the way, I have already resigned myself to the expectation that the movie itself will not be so great. I wasn't a fan of Titanic at all, although impressed with what Cameron achieved with it (a great Cinderella story). So I'll go see Avatar just for the historical aspect of it. It is not 3d. That is a misnomer. They call it 3d because the graphic artist can spin an object around and add color, textures, shading like a sculptor, and then animate it (make it move around.) The effects are applied to a wireframe such as you see me spinning a simple version of the concept here, -- http://screencast. com/t/ZWE2ZmIzO -- but this is all that 3d means here. You do not get the impression that there are 3 dimensions such as in a IMAX movie where you wear special glasses that allow the eyes to see 2 very slightly different views of the same image just like in real life, which is what gives us our sense of 3d in real life. These movies are no less 3d than a painting by Carravagio 400 years ago, and if traditional animation artists were given as much time and money as these movies are given to create a 3d animation using only paint to create the shading and textures, the results would far exceed these highly expensive animations that are given the misnoer 3d. These movies take 3-4 years and 4 times as much as a traditional Disney animation such as Beauty and the Beast to make (which take about a year to make.) All I can say is the results are not worth it visually. If a director such as Cameron spent as much money and as much time on a traditional animation he would go down in history as one of the greatest visionary in animated cinema of the era, since tradtional artists given that amount of time and money would create something no-one has seen before, and would far surpass the visuals of these so-called 3d movies. There is no 3d in these movies. It is a flat screen and there is no 3d. no more 3d than any movie. It is all 2d. The only 3d is when you wear those special glasses, or there is a hologram. A hologram is somewhat 3d. An animated hologram would be the unltimate 3d animation. Everything else is pure 2d dimensional OffWorld

If a director such as Cameron spent as much money and as much time on a traditional animation he would go down in history as one of the greatest visionary in animated cinema of the era, since tradtional artists given that amount of time and money would create something no-one has seen before, and would far surpass the visuals of these so-called 3d movies. There is no 3d in these movies. It is a flat screen and there is no 3d. no more 3d than any movie. It is all 2d. The only 3d is when you wear those special glasses, or there is a hologram. A hologram is somewhat 3d. An animated hologram would be the unltimate 3d animation. Everything else is pure 2d dimensional OffWorld So when you go to see this particular movie, do you wear special glasses?

It was a very tantric movie in that it dealt well with inter-dimensional congress and the idea of interdependent origination as a web naturally connecting all sentience.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Warning- Avatar
Shemp, it's the first 3D movie I've seen in many years(maybe since the sixties), so I can't compare it to anything, but I was very impressed. It's like HD on steroids! I may go back and watch it again on IMAx, I chose not to view it on IMAX last night because the seating wasn't great, so I settled for regular 3D.

Is it even better than that? I've seen 3 or 4 IMAX's in 3-D the past couple of years and I must say I was very impressed. Prior to that, I was only familiar with the 3-D technology from the '60s and I wasn't very impressed (I was more impressed with John Waters' Smellovision or Odorama, whatever it was he called it!). So if this is, as touted, a 3-D technology that is a quantum leap over even the IMAX 3-D, it must be incredible. By the way, I have already resigned myself to the expectation that the movie itself will not be so great. I wasn't a fan of Titanic at all, although impressed with what Cameron achieved with it (a great Cinderella story). So I'll go see Avatar just for the historical aspect of it.

That is a misnomer. They call it 3d because the graphic artist can spin an object around and add color, textures, shading like a sculptor, and then animate it (make it move around.) The effects are applied to a wireframe such as you see me spinning a simple version of the concept here, -- http://screencast.com/t/ZWE2ZmIzO http://screencast.com/t/ZWE2ZmIzO -- but this is all that 3d means here. You do not get the impression that there are 3 dimensions such as in a IMAX movie where you wear special glasses that allow the eyes to see 2 very slightly different views of the same image just like in real life, which is what gives us our sense of 3d in real life. These movies are no less 3d than a painting by Carravagio 400 years ago, and if traditional animation artists were given as much time and money as these movies are given to create a 3d animation using only paint to create the shading and textures, the results would far exceed these highly expensive animations that are given the misnoer 3d.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: WARNING - TM mantra information!
I did not mentioned bijas... I referred your question to the fact that in Upanishads the principle about nick names is described. So stick to the subject Willy! 2009/12/14 WillyTex willy...@yahoo.com But, how did the Gods get the 'nick-names'? Zoran Krneta wrote: So you did not read Upanishads! Are there any bija mantras mentioned in any of the major Upanishads? I think not, Zoran. The bija mantras are mentioned in the Tantras, which came much later during the Gupta Age in India. There are no bijas in the Rig Veda or in any of the major Upanishads. The alphabet wasn't used in India until the time of the Ashokan Pillars, (circa 200 BC). So, assuming that the bijas were based on the letters of the alphabet, their use would be after Pannini.

Many CAN'T shift mindsets. They're too stuck in theirs. While I may agree, I'd prefer to keep this more of a philosophical or idea thread and less of a bash TM thread, so I'll pass on any comments. Then consider this the idea that people get stuck in their mindsets to the exclusion of other ways of seeing. Transcend and include vs. transcend and exclude. What if ALL states of consciousness were on exactly the same level? What if NONE of them were superior to any other on any level? Would that fuck with your world view? It would not fuck with mine. Again, it would depend how you defined level. If you meant I take all experiences in equanimity, I'd probably agree with you. But if you took it to mean all experiential points-of-view are the same, I'd probably disagree. So would I. I wouldn't ever suggest that they were all the same, or even that they were all equally desirable given personal preference and personal goals. I would just dispute that there is any cosmic goal that places one higher than another. It would be a potentially worthless waste of time. In your opinion. Not in mine. Is your opinion better than mine? :-) Well, again, it would depend on whether or not you felt time was important or not. And again, whether time was important or not depends on whether you think there is a goal to be accom- plished or not. But the actual proof is in realization of the nondual experience of swarodaya, the arising of letters--either directly or via a close friend--which is not seen through eyes in the ordinary sense, but seen through your rigpa. When in doubt, trot out jargon. :-) Not meaning to give you in particular a hard time, Vaj. I'm just being honest here. I see neither value nor truth in the Woo-Woo approach to such things. I'm a spiritual pragmatist. If it works, I don't have to make up stories about how or why it works. Good, you shouldn't. It either works or it doesn't. Very scientific. And, as with science, you use appropriate terminology where necessary. My definition of appropriate means that the terminology used is inclusive, not exclusive. Using terms that exclude those not intimately familiar with those terms is not science but eltitism. There are ways of saying the same things that are inclusive. The use of words foreign to one's culture has a number of benefits: specificity, cross-cultural education, cultural preservation, brevity and introduction of foreign ideas to a culture. It might be preferable for some to say it's the sum of your actions, of the past, the present and the stored actions in your subconscious creating effects in the present and in the future and the effects of your current actions on the future but it may be easier to simply say it's your karma dude. Of course the advantage is that once people hear a word or phrase enough times, even foreign words become part of another cultures lingo, n'est-ce pas? Polyglottiphobia has it's disadvantages. If there are not appropriate terms in your native language, then I borrow them from languages that have an appropriately sophisticated vocabulary for what I'm describing. I believe there are *always* appropriate terms in anyone's language that are inclusive. Not if the framework or system of understanding for specific words does not exist in that language. Can one go through some convoluted gymnastics to fit the round peg of another culture and mindset into one's own square-holed xenophobic comfort zone? Sure. But some thing's always lost in the translation. And sometimes what's lost is the originating culture itself, not just the meaning and context. Consider Israel. A country largely kept alive through occupation by eastern European Jews. Is there an advantage to making the official language of the country Hebrew as opposed to German or English? Consider Tibet under Chinese occupation. Chinese relocation policies filled the country with Chinese speaking settlers. The traditional Tibetan education system is replaced by the Chinese language. In either case, the danger is the same: cultural genocide vs. cultural preservation. Extinction vs. survival. Expand or die. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious used to be atrocious, but now
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: WARNING - TM mantra information!
The principles of the nick-names and the bija mantras are described in the Tantras, Zoran, not in the Upanishads. So you did not read Upanishads carefully Willy. You don't know where in the Upanishads is the part of the text which brings out principle that Gods are pleased to be called indirectly. That is very simple to admit rather then lecturing me about something which I did not ask you. Please stick to the subject Willy!

What email address am I supposed to block? It's been used for virus sending before, and has probably be hijacked, because he was out of town the last time a virus was sent. What has? I went to that message and it was sent by Steve Briggs, who's a friend of mine here in Fairfield. Although I doubt he sent it. I emailed him to ask if he was even using that email address. Yahoo!

Tell him he needs to do a virus scan on his computer toot sweet, and update his virus protection once he's cleaned things up. I'll tell him, but he's on a Mac. I don't think he could get this virus.
