Share, You're correct. That's precisely why the world, including the USA, has no choice but to crush them with violence in equal or greater measure to stop their evil acts. I don't believe the Maharishi Effect can influence ISIS because their ideology and actions are inherently vile and

Re: [FairfieldLife] Established in Being, let anger take over

Great find, Geez. It's quite an experience watching this and listening to Maharishi and many people I know personally, just after reading Sam Harris' new book. Bevan's so insane it hurts to look at him. I love the Australian announcer's way of putting things...it's very dry and witty and S

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: My anger is my proof

Ann, I actually like both wayback and Edg. The difference was Steve wrote one negative sentence whereas Edg wrote two long and very negative posts attacking Richard. And the first post seemed to be triggered by a difference of political opinions! On Sunday, September 14, 2014 8:41 PM, "awoel

Hey Bhairitu, I heard a teleclass with John Gray the other day. One thing I'll say for him, that guy can talk non stop! He's pretty much given over the relationship business to his daughter. He's totally into health, having cured himself of Parkinson's 12 years ago via natural methods. And he

Bhairitu, I never minded about beauty pageants. Until I heard about the pageants for VERY young girls. Who wore make up and high heels. Something about that seems very icky to me. On Tuesday, September 16, 2014 11:25 AM, "Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]" wrote: Walnut

Re: [FairfieldLife] Sam Harris on choosing a guru :-)

Nice post. I think you grokked Sam Harris' intent in writing what he did about gurus pretty well. He has experienced good ones and he has experienced bad ones, and he knows the difference. But he's writing for an audience who may have never dealt with a guru type in their lives. Now, if his book

Walnut Creek, which is the town she's from and about 8 miles from here is known to be a stuck up yuppieville. It actually did have an active TM center when I was living there but I never bothered to contact them because I had moved on. The high school she graduated from is next to Whole Food

Re: [FairfieldLife] Mindfulness practice on FFL

Of course, Maharishi explained dealing with negativity well when he advised people not to dwell on or entertain negativity. Nobody can choose which thoughts and emotions arise. But imo we all have choice wrt the thoughts and emotions we focus on. Focus on negative ones beyond what is necessary a

Re: [FairfieldLife] Sam Harris on choosing a guru :-)

I have not yet finished Harris's book, I am in the middle of Chapter 5, so I cannot say I have read the book, just most of it. I found his analysis of the precariousness of the guru-disciple relationship more spot on than in the book The Guru Papers that 'Emily' mentioned some time ago, which br
