He's American. What finally gave him away is the phrase '40 year old fools.' He's never yet actually met an adult smarter than him. The raver scene here is not as romantic as it is where you live or in your dreams.

Jim,

I've never actually talked to you before but you were used as an intimidation tactic in email and here and were very much part of my baptism by fire. So I didn't really have high hopes.

But as a businessman I respect all lawyers who respect contracts. Better to have said to the boy: 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah, I know all about karma. It's called contractual law in the west and, if all contracts are honored, life goes smoothly.'

But I had a teenager once. I'm glad it only lasts until 28 years nowadays.

Just had a shower and put on my nice new enjoyinglife.com tee shirt and feel so blissed out. It's nice to be clean.

If you do grasp where I'm coming from salam, let us know, I haven't a clue and I'm quite happy with that. But I do know that a lot of the issues I had to resolve when I left cultthink, I found people out there, as a group in the broadest sense, had come up with answers. Issues that I thought related purely to being a premie were nothing of the sort.

On the simplest level, take gurus and spirituality, it's well developed socially amongst the younger generation that gurus are old school wank, we've evolved past that point, and that spiritual experiences are about your angle on those experiences, not that there is a seperate spiritual realm. Well understood that a lot of the misunderstanding in the 60's was because people didn't understand how much of what we experience is generated from our head stance. In other words if you have some experience of something we would have called cosmic on acid, nowadays accepted that it's the drug, so they just accept the experience as a chemical experience, brain changes, no big deal, doesn't mean god's visiting you.
Also that we aren't just passive receptacles of experience but that we can direct it and change it, not a big deal.

You're chemistry theory makes sense, but my gut feeling tells me something is not correct. It is like the problem of the egg and the chicken, who comes first.

You obviously haven't been down to the doctors and picked up any happy pills recently, such as prozac and the new generation of anti-depressents, and only half teasing.
However, I do not see how your theory explains the awakining process from a cult. I would have thought that 20 or 30 years involvement would have generated enough chemicals in the body to cause saturation and perhaps physical changes (e.g. notice long time premie, u can smell them a miles away). so how can one wakes up one day (and I mean overnight) and decides that it is time to turn the page. What happened to all the chemicals? Did something happened to the body to break all that down? Please explain?

The situation in the brain is more subtle than that, and you are talking of thousands of different drugs.
Also the effects of chemicals are not static and linear, and neither are they fixed.

A lot of processes in the body, as in a large number of natural processes are working in parallel, but you've still got the consciousness angle. If you take the cybernetic view that consciousness is a non-linear meta system, in a crude way the sum is greater than the parts, and the non-linear butterfly in japan triggering hurricanes in canada effect, you can see that systems, whether biological or not can switch very suddenly.

But do you also notice how long it takes to clear the garbage of cult think. I've never heard of a single person who decided to leave and was clear of it all overnight.
So you can have sudden and dramatic changes, ie non-linear but they also happen alongside the linear effects. When the body is out of kilter, even long term, other processes come into effect to balance out. Our bodies aren't just static processes, but dynamic self regulating systems.

Self regulating, self producing, ie circular systems are fascinating.

Take ai for instance, for decades they wanted to be able to explain consciousness as the addition of modules like some gigantic database, yet it failed miserably. Now that they are going back to a more systems/cybernetic approach, ie neural networks, the ai community is moving on again.

The whole of biology is very circular, whereas we're used to thinking in a very linear ie additional way, that's why gurus got away with it for so long.
Hierarchichal thinking of the old school is finished.

That's the problem with medication, it's still very hit or miss, but the angst must also have a chemical component, that's the thing about our brains, reality experience, and body chemicals, very intense feedback loop where it's impossible to say what causes what, especially when there's so many natural drugs in us. As anyone knows who's mixed drugs, huge variations in effects, etc, and that's just with a couple, not a couple of thousand.
If you fancy talking in private give us an e-mail, not always easy discussing this stuff in public.

Of course you're right, we were like chemical guinea pigs, first large scale drug usage for ages, we really didn't have a clue. When I think how far I took it on acid, well it's frightening really, lucky still to be here, and not locked up somewhere, which happened to a number of my mates then.
And instead of stabilising, what did we do, went and got involved with a guru, scary stuff.

Re the youngsters, I've learnt more from 'em than from anyone I thought I'd meet the rest of my life, sometimes feel like I'm the adolescent with them!
What has really hit home though was how much I thought were just premie issues, were actually social issues, I missed out on 15 years of social change thinking nothing that was relevant to me was happening 'out there', and then find that instead of being more informed, I was seriously under informed, same goes for the way people were open with each other, just moved on so fast, much faster than I'd learnt as a premie...

Sometimes felt almost juvenile when I first left, some people might say not much has changed!

If you take the cybernetic view that consciousness is a non-linear meta system

I can not comment on this statement, as you are assuming that I agree with it. Though I do understand your point, I fail to see how they reached this conclusion, which again, is no more than a statement. I need to know more, where are those links you said you were going to dig out.

Ok, accept that non-linearity could occure overnight, thus explaining the sudden change, I also except the linearity that total transformation will take place.

As for neural network, this is a very complex issue that has not left the labs yet (last time I looked was last year, where they had neural networks growing on silicon chip, scary shit).

There is no doubt that self generating systems are more developed than the ones without a feed back loop, but how does that fit the chemical origin of thought and feeling. Also, it appears that you have forgotten an input, Will. How is will explained in your system. Take a simple example, I decided to stop smoking. Ofcourse you will say, ahh, now what I caused is a non-linerar event to occure in my head, which drove me to blah blah blah blah. But what was the will and where did it come from?

Another thing, is the will to live. Why does a whole species live, what drives it forward? (now you're turning me one, so watch out)

House is democratic anarchy. This forum is too but without the gentle hedomism of house.

The difference between this forum and house is that the house philosophy (or non-philosophy) has rejected all authority or
-isms and -ologies as mind-bending cults but allows that everyone is bent through their own particalar prism and that's fine as long as you know it. I'm with you all the way. I'm teasing you about the music. De gustibus non est disputandum.

karma is a particular result from a certain action or thought. Every thing you say,think,or do is creating some form of karma. Lets say that when I am driving down a road and someone pulls out in front of me and ruins my car. This example of karma is interdependent,meaning our actions and thoughts although separate from each other contributed to the result both of us would have to experience. The most important thing about karma is not to speculate why you are experiencing this result and comparing it to previous actions or thoughts.The reason for this is that although that particular result may be seen as harmful to you in the NOW of that situation, may later prove to be benificial. Even now I am creating some form of karma, and if I get rude or explicit comments from some of you that would be a direct result of these thoughts and actions. Also another example of interdendent KARMA.

Subject: karma - the logical deduction
Message:
Sorry there mate. I can completely destroy the karma theory in just a few sentences. But instead I'll give your mind something to mull over.

Suppose a child is born and then suffers terrible abuse as a child from one of its parents. Now your reasoning would be that this was just the child's karma.

If that is the case, the parent who is doing the abuse is only carrying out the karmic punishment on their child and therefore the parent is exempt from doing anything wrong.

This is the natural and logical deduction you must come to if you believe in karma. Continuing that line of logical reasoning - every cruel and abusive person in this world is simply punishing people because of those people's bad karma. Therefore, if I torture and murder someone, it's their hard luck because they had it coming to them - it was their bad karma.

Of course, this then naturally concludes that the people who are carrying out the torture, abuse and murder are not doing anything wrong and therefore will not be earning any bad karma.

Or if you think they are doing something wrong, then the cycle would never end because, in simple words, the person who has done bad must be punished, so another person does something bad to them and then that person has to be punished and so on ad infinitum.

Finally, let's look at evolution. Do chimpanzees generate bad karma? If they do, what about cats and dogs, ants and elephants?

If you scoff, as any right thinking Hindu devotee would, then at which point on the evolutionary scale do the animals start to generate bad karma? Would it start with apes that have learned to use tools? Would it begin with early man who has learned the value of fire? Stone-age man, bronze age man?

If you think reasonably about the above, it isn't hard to see that karma as a theory is ill thought out and completely unreasonable. I could go on but it's late.

That is the point I made in my post. I'm afraid it's you who have not read the response properly. You have not gone through my post, one sentence at a time and followed my logical reasoning. If you had, you wouldn't have given that reply.

Incidentally, I saw on the TV today that a young boy in India has been standing for about seven years now. He is not allowed to sit or lie down, even to sleep. He is in a lot of pain. He believes (as do many) that this will bring him closer to God. He didn't seem very happy though, I must say. I wonder what branch of Hinduism that is.

Message:
CultbusterUK: Hmmm, I wonder if that announcement contains EV speak. It says no more registrations are being accepted due to lack of available seats. I have it on good information that the Oxnard convention center has been inundated with email about the organization hosting the event. Maybe EV decided to fill most of the seats with security goons.

Hopefully Malibu Mole or someone else in deep cover will attend and report on the event for us.

Hi,

I just got back from a funeral service. I didn't know the woman who died very well, but she was my neighbor Ray's mom. I would frequently see her and her husband (who passed away last year) walking on my street and I used to enjoy small talk with them.

McCleary is a small town, not very sophisticated and definitely on the poor side. Grace (her name) was quite well know in town and there was a town party held in the park a few years back for their 70th wedding anniversity.

What struck me at the service was the natural humility and the simplicity of the people in my little community. Not many suits and ties, in fact I saw only one, but lots of blue jeans and fresh pressed flannel shirts. Grace's son Art, also a preacher, gave a warm and bittersweet eulogy, was dressed in blue jeans and an open collar white shirt.

The pastor, a man in his late sixties with a wonderful voice, pulled out a six string guitar and sang a lovely country music style hymn. He had grown up with Grace's sons here in McCleary and knew the family intimately.

A number of people stood and spoke of their memories of Grace. There was no postering, no new age revelations of mystical knowledge, no esoteric philosophy, no unsolicited advice. Just a lot of sincere reminiscing and good clean sorrow and expressions of a simple faith in a loving god.

Salt of the earth, these people. Not a single navel gazer among them. Refreshing...

I am a son of a ex-premie, and over the years I have heard many negative and positive messages expressed by my mother and many of you. I don't directly know your experience,but I not only understand the reasons you use this forum, I also understand much about the wide range of possible feelings and situations you all had to experience. With that all said I can get right to the point:

No matter if you're angry or not with your current beliefs, you have been conditioned through direct experience. It's probably time to realize that every thing and every one is teaching and conditioning you towards a certain belief system.

These beliefs can make or break your overall happiness. So essentially all things you say and do cause a particular reaction for situation in life. I think many of you should be looking directly at your current mind state when you discuss these varying topics, and if it causes you suffering, you should quit sending messages and wasting valuable time that you could be using for something you enjoy.

Dear Karmapa,

I think there is some truth to what you are saying. If i hadn't been so 'done in' by the guru I might have a lot more interests.

I used to have. but sad to say now i only enjoy the forum and when i was a premie i only enjoyed doing things for him - or thought i did. I definately lost my interests in many things.

Any comment from a young and fresh 22 year old?

Good luck, happy New year and best regards,

Message:
(1) Just because I might be angry or sad about any situation does not mean that is all I'm experiencing in my life.

(2) Experiencing anger or sadness, or whatever, surely that's part of living, certainly not something I just want to walk away from, especially where justice is concerned.
To just walk away is EXACTLY what gm would like, to be left alone to abuse people. Sometimes in life one has to do things that aren't pleasant, but have to be done, that's just a fact of life.

(3) There are other people involved, do you have any idea for instance, just how many people have committed suicide around gm, people whose frame of mind was exacerbated by the horrendous knots they had tied their heads in, caused by the ridiculous belief systems they picked up from gm, and the impossibility of dealing with those belief systems.

(4) Do you think everyone here just stays here forever, & never takes a break? I'm just about to take one myself.

(5) A lot of us here left quite a while ago and have had a lot of time to think things through, which means we aren't just reacting.

(6) Just reacting and getting the spleen off your chest at gm can be THE major breakthrough in breaking away from the addictive brainwashing nature of the gurus thinking.
When you've spent so long in denial of emotions releasing them can be very constructive.

(7) You would be amazed at how many people turn up here, years after leaving having done exactly what you suggested, and realized they had been in complete denial of the damage caused to them, and almost have to start the cleansing process all over again.

Now if you are young this might be a bit strong, but I won't patronise you by holding back, do you realize how patronising your post sounds?
You might be aware of the situations around premiedom, but how we came to be sucked in in the first place you cannot have a clue about, and the thinking expressed by you in your post was EXACTLY the kind of naivete that got me hooked in the first place, sorry but that's the case.
I also suggest that you cannot have a clue what it was like to be in the ashram system, or to have been around in the 70's.

I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get the drift.

And last but definitely not least, do you think people don't know when they need a break, or are ready to walk away from it all completely?

Sorry, but your thinking is extremely naive and insulting,
and this isn't just some knee-jerk reaction to your post, I have just read it three times to make sure.
What you have done is turn up at a time for me that points out jsut how infuriating that kind of advice is, exactly the kind of simplistic hallmark new age thinking that allowed most of us to get sucked in in the first place.

Message:
nevermind those caviling dogs below. they don't understand what you're talking about. I do. It's good advice. I had to take a yearlong course in metaphysics to get it. People don't grasp it in one posting.

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO REACTED STRONGLY:
This voice is not invalidating your emotion. Nor your brain. In fact they are trying to show you a much better thing to do with both.Beliefs ARE transient. They change in light of new information, new experience or new understanding. They are temporary for the time being. Beliefs shape reality, but reality exists beyond your beliefs. And the more emotion you put into a belief, the more real it seems to you.

Beliefs are not things in themselves. they are creations of yours, fashioned to serve you for some purpose. It is a good idea to stop and take inventory once in a while and examine what you are believing, to see what it is doing to you. You might come to realize that it is impairing your health, or your relationships, or your ability to make a living, or any of an amazing range of things. Just what you believe, nothing else. And if you can see how it is hrting you to believe that, you can contemplate what it would serve you better to believe. Something more helpful, with less stress or strife or booby traps in it.


Don't go jumping all over the kid. Listen. Ask him to say some more.

Honestly, there isn't a single thing you've said here that doesn't trigger a silent 'DUHHhhhh!'

Am I saying this because I'm a lawyer? I thought it was because I wanted to be a fireman. No, actually, I shouldn't make fun. I guess being a lawyer might have a bit of something to do with it. Law school does indeed teach one to cut through empty waffle. Mind you, we should all be doing that anyway, I figure.

Subject: law also teaches you to destroy undeserving people
Message:
as any prosecuter knows. law isnt interested in the truth. its interested in convicting someone. its interested in blame, in finding and slaughtering a scapegoat, in cutting a deal. it makes cartoons of real living people. the law can villainize anyone-- for a fee. it can make a criminal appear a saint and a saint appear a criminal, and does a handsome business at it, too.that's law, with a small l. the kind of law you studied and practice.

then there's The Law. The one you can't break, because it wasn't made by humans, and isn't open to barter, drama, posturing or payments. That Law is the one to study and understand. That is the Law I undertook to be schooled in, and the one from which I answer. That Law operates from Truth, and is interested in nothing but. And That Law always brings that truth forth. Its methods are infallible and inescapable.

you're offended? You feel patronized? how do you think witnesses on the stand feel, when they are hostilely cornered, questioned, manipulated into characterizations that don't fit them at all? You get back what you give in life. Remember it, the next time you have someone on the stand, destroying their credibility for the audience and the jury, because you're being paid to. Think about how you're going to explain your actions when it's your turn to appear before the Bench of The Law.

Janet,

That was particularly helpful. I just have one question for you. Seeing as our legal system sucks would you please tell me -- specifically -- what you would do to improve it? Come on, Janet, let's get down to the details. You don't like the way witnesses testify; how would you change that?

And please, if you're not going to offer anything more but general criticism such as you've already levied against me and my profession, don't bother. That first volley was excellent but been there, done that. Now give us the details as to how you'd improve the system. Don't forget, the legal system can and does change over time and place. It's not as if you're talking about some religion or something. Nothing's set in stone (well, I guess that pesky U.S. Constitution's pretty close but even that can and has been changed).

Subject: unbelievable
Message:
I sort of figured something like this was coming from you, Janet, after I read something you posted a few months ago (about your supernatural powers on knowledge).

This post however far outdoes anything you've said so far. It is arrogant, mean-spirited, overly simple, transparent and inaccurate.

Your statement that YOU study THE law is full of the same superiority and superstition we all had enough of, as premies. It's simplistic and idealistic, and if carried far enough can be self-destructive.

You claims about the legal system, although they contain a small amount of truth, are far flung and grandiose. In any society or community there are standards for determining if the rules have been broken. This is true even in a family.

And many of precepts that Western law are based on are fairly solid in dealing with practical situations. Although the system is corrupted by other influences (racism, business, politics and ego), it's the only place many people can get any hearing at all.

That the ideal of the Western legal system doesn't always measure up isn't Jim's fault, and for you to hang that on him in any way is ludicrous. For all you know, Jim may be one of the really 'good guys' in the system.

So not only are you being petty and mean-spirited to attack his profession; you're making assumptions.

And to try to connect some form of karma in Jim feeling patronized and offended by someone's post to his actions in a distant courtroom, is not only prejudiced, it's insane.

I don't directly know your experience,but I not only understand the reasons you use this forum, I also understand much about the wide range of possible feelings and situations you all had to experience.

That's pretty vague, fella. What exactly do you mean by 'the wide range of possible feelings and situations'? Does that include the 'situation' of being tricked into believing that a regular person like you or me is actually God-on-a-stick? Or the 'feeling' that entertaining doubts about that belief was a sure-fire pathway to hell? Unless you can put some meat on these bones, there isn't much to talk about.

With that all said I can get right to the point:
No matter if you're angry or not with your current beliefs, you have been conditioned through direct experience. It's probably time to realize that every thing and every one is teaching and conditioning you towards a certain belief system.

Again, I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you? What's this about us having been 'conditioned through direct experience'? I don't understand. Indeed, it seems like something too obvious to mention unelss you've got some special meaning in mind. Care to explain?

And this last thing, the thing you want us to realize, it troubles me. It kind of sounds as if you're saying that nothing's any more true than anything else as whatever we think is true is nothing more than what we've been 'taught and conditioned' to believe. I hope you're not saying that because that's complete foolishness. Tell me I'm wrong on that one, please.

In any event, I hope that you also recognize -- and this is important, teacher -- that your own concepts here, your concepts about concepts, didn't just spring out of thin air either. Where's they come from? How do you know they're true?

These beliefs can make or break your overall happiness. So essentially all things you say and do cause a particular reaction for situation in life. I think many of you should be looking directly at your current mind state when you discuss these varying topics, and if it causes you suffering, you should quit sending messages and wasting valuable time that you could be using for something you enjoy.

Is that really how you approach life? Just do what you enjoy? Do you ever undertake anything difficult or unpleasant because you think it will lead to some greater good or happiness further down the road? Tell me about it.

Finally, I have to ask: do you really think you have that much to teach us? Why? Where'd you get your special knowledge from?

It was right for you to sign off 'understood or not' because, frankly, my friend, you are apparently retreating into opaquity. Could you please do this: try to find some simple, clear words to express what it is you want to say. If the words don't come that easily, maybe you should ask yourself why. It might be that the problem is that the idea itself isn't clear. In that case, please do us and yourself a favour and don't just throw a bunch of words up like a smokescreen. That won't cut it here. It shouldn't cut it anywhere although, as you seem to already know (unfortunately) it will more than suffice in new age circles where obscurity is a favorite flavour.

I don't know how much more of this shit I can put up with, it's hard enough being here still thinking about gm as it is, maybe I need a LONG break.

And where do you think I went wrong, I mean we're talking SERIOUS, as in serious, anti-materialist eco vegan pc non-drug taking new ager, my path should have been mapped out years ago, and yet here I am hanging out with psychedelic bacon eating materialists who are distinctly non-pc, I dunno, something must have gone wrong somewhere.

Maybe it's because I never had enough faith, d'ya think?

In 1984 I took and 15 year break from the cult (not the kriya - still like that) and educated myself. I had never been in an ashram and have always smoked dope (etc) and regard myself as an ex-unpremie or stoner-premie of which there are many.

Being a fag has made me very biased in the favor of self-didacticism not wanting to be indoctrinated by any other cult including the cult of new-agism (birkenstocks are those weird sandals that are ergomnomic but you have to be a masichist to wear them because they deform you feet but are gren and save the whales)or the cult of consumerist society.

I went back about a year ago to see if the newly sanitized Chrurch of the Very Rev Rawat was doing justice to the kriyas and found that he is selling it as a panacea to the new-agers and consumerists to make money. That's why I'm here. But I have come to see that western culture, thought, civilization also is a mine full of jewels. The ore stinks but you put that on the slag heap.

Carol this answer to Ham was part of the smart-alecky crap that I apologised to you for. Totally irreponsible and superficial. My son started all the drugs when he was 14. When he was 18 he came to live with me and I made a rule - no street drugs. But we always smoked a peace pipe of herbs (which should be legal)together every night. He mellowed out and even enjoyed listening to opera with me. This last bit is a dig at Ham who thinks my taste in music stinks.

In a way you have a point, about not being sheep and not following gurus etc etc, but you are completely missing the point of what this Forum is all about.

Sure, we fell for the whole story, 20 odd years ago, got sucked in by this little Indian boy, swallowed the guru hype hook line and sinker.

But karampapa or whatever the fuck you call yourself, we're the ones who have recognised that fact, maybe a little late, but hey, we didnt have you for guidance then, right? We are OUT OF THE CULT, see? We have fled the flock, given the guru the push, now we're trying to sort out the hows, whys and what nexts.

The ones who would REALLY benefit from your pearls of wisdom are the poor sods who are still IN IT! Take a peek over at some of the stuff people write in Enjoying Life, Expressions pages. Unfortunately, the cult doesnt permit open feedback and interaction amongst the flock, as we do here, so you will just have to email them and hope for the best.

By the way, I have to tell you I chuckled when I read this line from you: for your information school has not made you any smarter . Coming from someone who is apparantly incapable of simple punctuation and lacks rudimentary spelling skills, this is something of a self-portrait, no?

Message:
A lot of harm is still being done by the Rev Rawat. He is teaching kriyas that many more responsible gurus usually teach to people only after extensive healing on the mind has been done. He tells people to ignore their troubled minds instead of healing them because he makes money by having power over confused and weak people. Some are more self-confident than others and do their own healing and house-cleaning. Others still need to learn the importance of a healthy mind. There is a lot of mental healing taking place here.

But your point is well taken. There is still quite a lot of energy wasted on unproductive anger here too but there is also a lot of creative anger and satire. When apartheid was dismantled in South Africa Bishop Tutu suggested and chaired the Truth and Reconciliation Committee as an alternative to an endless cycle of revenge and counter-revenge. On the whole it has worked and spared the country from a blood bath. I have often thought such a solution would be better than attempting revenge on the Rev Rawat. Truth, confession and forgiveness instead of righteous anger, revenge and spite. But the Rev has yet to indicate that he is willing to tell the truth.

Joke follows. Warning for the irony-impaired:

I have asked Bishop Tutu to chair a Truth and Reconciliation Committee to mediate between the Rev and the exes but he declined and suggested Winnie Mandela. Mrs Winnie has mellowed with age but is still unpredictable and may side with the Rev and put tires around all of our necks and set fire to them with gasoline.

Message:
I just saw a very powerful film,unreleased as of now, that may take the best documentary award at the Academy Awards...

It was about the 'Truth and Reconciliation' campaign in South Afric.It was extremely well done,and really explained the basic philosophy behind the campaign.

I totally agree, it could provide the framework for a dialogue between exes and m, and I have often suggested this.
I think Michael Dettmers, and possibly some other PAMS could play pivotal roles in this.

The big question is, how do you do it when one party doesn't want to participate?
How do you bring them to the table, so to speak?

I think you have to show them that it is really in their best interest to take part in this, and the other road (not dealing with their stuff)will, inevitably lead to far worse consequences...

Idealistic thinking, I agree, but I also believe that with the advent of the internet, m is starting to wake up to the fact that there are thousands of justifiably angry people out there, and if he doesn't deal with his stuff that he created, things will get very hot for him, and not just in amaroo in the summer...

So for you on the EV 'watch team', why don't you think about this and suggest it to your master?

And for exes, do you have anything to add to this dialog?

We have historical examples, such as Tutu, Mandela, MLK, Gandhi etc., to study and learn from.....

There are no 2 or more sides here who have hurt one another ,& can maybe come to some sort of compromise.

For Rawat to even hint to his closest associates that he might be willing to go down that road , would involve such a massive loss of face , that I'm sure he would never do it even though the shit were about to hit the fan.

We're talking GOD here .

How can he admit to himself that he isn't , let alone anyone else.

Message:
Reconciliation as you say can only happen when both sides admit wrong. I'm willing to admit that I am wrong in hurling ad hominems at the Lard - but it's so much fun. If he feels that what I have said is unfair then let him say so here. Here is what I have to say to him:On my second tipsy tour through this forum I found the Dalai Lama's chain letter. Of course I emailed it to 18 people before I read the rest of the thread. You did too? And you? Were you tipsy too or don't you need an excuse?

That was before I realized that most ex-premies do the fifth technique a lot. Now, the fifth technique is only revealed to the Very Rev's in-crowd, the guys who 'donate' money to the Rev from special accounts, better known as the Malibu Mob, you know the guys who get on the yacht. But it is often revealed by closely watching the Very Rev Rawat. The fifth technique is accomplished by placing the tongue in one's cheek and giving a sly half-smile. He does it a lot and is a great rishi.

This is what Lama Thelma the Thunderstealing Bitch has to say for the coming Far East Asian New Year, the year of the Snake. (With apologies for using that sweet dear Dalai Lama's chain letter.)

(NB: If you've got an old tattered copy of Chinese astrolgy - left over from the days when you were clutching at straws because the Very Rev Ratguru Rawat was leaving you in the dark - read what it says the Year of the Snake means for a Rooster (the year in which the Very Rev was born.) Our worries are over and the worries of many others will soon be over but, according to Chinese sages, the Rev's worries are only about to begin. I hope they are wrong. I don't like to see anyone suffer. That doesn't mean I don't like to watch but I promise not to gloat and to try to feel detached and blissed out the way the sainted Pauline Premie has taught us to.)

Instructions for Life in the Year of the Snake for a Ratguru born in the year of the Rooster (see above - and apologies to any nice Roosters):

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. No, sorry, 'great love' does not include juvenile self-infatuation.

2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. If you learn your lesson and come clean and take responsibility maybe we'll let you back into the human race again one day.

3. Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, respect for others
responsibility for all your actions. See above 1) re self-respect v self-infatuation and 2) responsibility.

4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. The day you don't get what you want will be the best day you have had since you became the Ratguru and have been given everything that you ever wanted with a mere snap of your holy fingers at poor blissed-out bhakti-infatuated Pauline Premie.

5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. I can't add much to that one because you never even bothered to learn the basic rules of civilization,honesty, decency and modesty (yes, the opposite of hubris - oh, you need to look that word up, sorry.)

6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. No, I'm forgiving so come and have a drink with me after the court case and we'll see if anything develops. But I must warn you I'm a fat, old, grey, balding fag with a colostomy bag. Oh? You only like young blonde females. Oops, silly me.

7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. We're waiting.

8. Spend some time alone every day. That means with no 'voices' that once told you that you were THE ONE or your dear departed daddy's ghostly gibberish.

9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. The last word needs to be changed to 'valuables' for you since you have more of them. But, if I were you, I would hold onto the family jewels because they will be your most valuable asset one day - perhaps your only asset.

10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. Except when you are speaking before a democratically constituted jury of your peers. It'll be bigger than OJ's trial because your peers are rich and famous.

11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. 'THINK' - now what does that word mean?

12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. I wish this for all human beings. I hope your family sticks by you. No one else will.

13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current
situation. Don't bring up the past. Exactly. Those of us who know what's happening now do not need to bring up your past. You are lying and scamming people by billing yourself as 'THE Master' with special powers which must remain un-nameable and secret. These powers are conveyed by your speechless devotees to astonished strangers by means of a 'propagation package consisting of video and audio tapes of YOU. Yes, you've silenced the servants finally haven't you? So, your devoted and sadly sincere church-ladies must convey their 'Master's' secret powers by doing the fifth technique (see above) and the old nudge, nudge, wink, wink, clutch your heart and roll your eyes in bliss routine. And you are skimming donations from a 'non-profit education corporation' via an elaborate shell game. These donations are being solicited from well-meaning people for purposes of 'education' but are being used insincerely and deceitfully. No we don't have to and won't bring up the past.

14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality. Immortality does not mean oblivion or amnesia. Knowledge means wisdom and learning not the fifth technique.

15. Be gentle with the earth in your last house-plant. It might be all you have left.

16. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before, like the local pub and see how long you last.

17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. I hope the Malibu Mob loves you more than they need you and vice versa.

18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. Couldn't have said it better. If you give it all up, confess your ignorance and stupidity and give the loot back I promise you peace of mind.

19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon. Did you write that one? Cute but not up to your usual style. Wouldn't you have written, 'with longing that is so deep it will never be filled.' And it never was. Kept your word there.

Do not keep this message. Use your delete button immediately. This mumbo-jumbo must leave your hands within 96 hours. You will get a very pleasant surprise (even if you are not superstitious - but I think you are - just two words 'dead daddy) if you forward this mantra to other people.

0-4 people: Your life will improve slightly.

5-9 people: Your life will improve to your liking.

9-14 people: You will have at least 5 surprises in the next 3 weeks.

15 people and above: Your life will improve drastically and everything you ever dreamed of will begin to take shape - peace of mind, a clear conscience, being liked by the chaps down at the pub. BTW these guys don't play bhakti yoga. Don't even say the word because they'll think you said 'Bugger me' and they're not as clean and cute as you are. Just say cheese - oops, sorry, maybe not.

Thelma has to go back to work (as the local cheap ho with a heart of gold who knows how to party like there's no tomorrow) next week after a week's couch-potatoing and won't have time to play on the net so this will be the last of her drunken sprees on the forum. Thank the muses.

I've just been watching a documentary on tv about Kumbh Mela, the top Hindu festival, which takes place every 12 years on the banks of the Ganges. It starts Monday, and this one is special because it's the Maha Kumbh which only happens every 144 years. They were interviewing the organiser who says he's expecting 70 million people over the 40 days, and on the peak day, 20 million. Makes our Guru's get togethers look a bit pathetic.

For as long as man has been sufficiently conscious
to leave written notes
there are those which show an early intrigue by a few
in activities of consciousness that were
outside collective concerns.
This interest has been labeled variously as: magic,
the occult, the mystical, the spiritual,
the-struggle-to-Awaken,
the-search-for-Enlightenment,
or simply, The Knowledge.
The minds of some men have always sought to
function in a manner not inherent;
it still goes on today,
but few of them ever pursue the matter deeply enough
to get to the bottom of it;
they are satisfied to be students of: magic, the occult,
awakening, and enlightenment,
rather than understanding the reality behind such words.
There is nothing “wrong” with this
any more than there is anything wrong with
preferring to listen to music
as opposed to making music,
but there is an obvious distinction between
being a listener and being an artist,
and no purpose would be served in trying to deny it,
and likewise
if you really want to discover-- then create --
your own non standard running of consciousness
you need to face the facts about
your interest in this affair,
and not pretend to fool yourself,
(like is natural for routine consciousness),
into believing you want to be an active participant
when all you actually want is to be a passive observer, and sometimes kibitzer.

Subject: Turner: Our dialog is continued here
Message:
Turner,

I have copied your post and inserted my replies as the Spirit moved me. When you are done with this one, would you please go back to the post entitled 'speak the truth and fear no man' and reply to it specifically? Thanks. My replies are carroted for easy reading.

Do you think the best good you can do on earth is administer justice; be fair; do the right thing?

>I think it is one of the best goods a man can do.

Look around you, what does justice have to do with life? If justice is so important to God, why does life allow, and seemingly engineer so much injustice?

>Justice has been and continues to be a pursuit of human beings since the beginning of history and is regarded by all holy writings and teachers as worthy of striving for. I don't see it all, but I think alot of the bad stuff people bring upon themselves. Alot of the rest is innocent people getting hit with crossfire and fallout from bad shit going on around them and they are in range. Life is important to God, but he allows death.
I don't see God as 'engineering' injustice. I let my kids screw up sometimes just so they can learn their own lessons. I think God does that too on a grander scale. Are you implying that you don't think Maharaji cares about civilization as we know it and the world could become like 'Road Warrior' and it would be OK just so everybody had Knowledge? Justice and mercy are two sides of the same coin that appears in the Kabbala and many other mystic and ancient teachings that separates humans from other critters. Just because justice isn't always served doesn't mean that justice is not important...it just means that people are not very conscious or compassionate yet.

We get locked in the loop of crime and punishment, and right and wrong, and agreed, it does make you feel warm and cozy when your concept of justice is upheld and the punishment matches the perceived crime. That’s very Hollywood of course, you know…the good guy wins and the bad guy gets what he deserves. What about when it doesn’t happen that way? Well, many have screamed at God when that happens, and many have lost their faith? But who can argue with God? Well, unfortunately we all can if we so choose.

>Isn't Maharaji the good guy in your movie? Isn't he supposed to win? Isn't that your mindset right now? Isn't that justice in your eyes? So are you saying that Maharaji is God and you and I are not? I am familiar with the book of Job. I understand that when shit happens one should not lose faith. But this is not the book of Job, thank God. Maharaji, being a human being like you and me, is subject to all the laws and rules that you and I are. He even said so. I am not seeking punishment, blood revenge or anything else like that. I just don't think any form of caste
system should exist anymore, even the invisible unspoken hidden one that allows some premies to be more equal than others, and Maharaji to do whatever and not be honestly and respectfully questioned in any way. I am seeking open truth and equal rights and fairness to be dealt to all people, for both premies and those who have come to call themselves ex-premies because of inequities in the system that were created by DLM and EV, aberrant mahatmas, and right under Maharaji's nose. If he is all-everything, he will look kindly on my human frailties and love me for wanting to do the right thing, even if I am antlike in my consciousness compared to his and so forth...

Sandy, you think you understand what really matters.

>I never claimed to be omniscient, but I do have a conscience that guides me to know what matters. And I do have Knowledge and know how precious the experience is to go inside, however one can arrive there.

Let’s face it, something needs to matter or you have little cause to get out of bed in the morning, right? But does what matter to you really matter? Well of course it does…to you…whether it does or not.

>And if a premie kid gets molested in the middle of an empty house by a mahatma, will anyone hear and answer the cries of their heart? (As in 'if a tree falls in the woods with no one around will it make a sound?')

>You are talking to someone with Knowledge. Keep your consdescending shit for an aspirant, OK? I know what you know and am aware of what you are aware of. I say we can be realized AND be just and merciful...On Earth as it is in Heaven, beautiful
and whole. That is the promise I believe was made by another Master whose teachings I subscribe to. Do you have a problem with that?

If you were dying by the side of the road and a thief stopped to give you water, would you turn away because you knew he was a thief? What would really matter…to uphold your sense of justice or survive to take another breath?

>I would be doing that thief and myself a favor to accept his kindness, for it would be an opportunity for him to do something good that would offset the evil he had done, and it would also save me. Bad example, Turner.

When someone gives you the fulfillment that satisfies you completely and connects you with something that allows your heart to “breathe”, do you turn away because he appears to not have the same sense of justice as you?

>Maybe. If the thief gave you water and then he (and his crew) tried to seduce your wife, molest your children and steal your money, would you let him just because he gave you a drink and even saved your life? One thing has nothing to do with the other.
Up until recently, I was convinced that the experience I enjoyed from Knowledge was available only from association with Maharaji and continued contact with him in whatever format he commanded in the moment. That is what I am really in question of now as a result of how other premies have been treated in various situations.

How much justice really matters to an empty heart is about the same as how much it matters to a dying man.

>What? In a way, we are dying right now. But we are also living right now. And justice matters to whoever it matters to. Having a love of justice gives deeper meaning to my life, even with Knowledge. And puleeze do not even try to characterize me as some
goody-goody looking for som excuse to criticize the organization or the Master. I did not look for this, it crossed my path. I chose to look at the situation and not ignore it, ike the Samaritan who stopped along the roadside to help a traveler who had been mugged, after so-called holy men had passed the poor soul by. I have no marytr complexes or anything like that. Let's just say that I have acted out of the same place that M was in when he used a large vehicle and a chain, a tractor or something, to pull a neighbor driver out of a ditch once, or so the story went. I don't see the big mystery...I have only done what I felt
has been the right, kind and decent thing to do and that is to speak up.

Are you still in touch with the silent call from your heart to be fulfilled Sandy?

>Should I put my hands on my monitor now and repeat after you? If you are asking me that question, maybe you need to check yourself.

I personally could care less if a talking rock gave me Knowledge…if it brought me to the same experience of wholeness and fulfillment. That would be a very special rock indeed

>Yeah, and it would also be idolatry. Remember Mel Brook as Yogurt when he spoke to the Prince who lost the magic ring:
'The Shwartz is IN you!'

Subject: Turner: Still awaiting your reply and more...
Message:
Turner,

I understand you probably have a life as I do and it's the weekend, but I do sincerely look forward to your continued dialog, at least at this juncture.

I had just finished a PS to you the other day at the same time the FA was archiving our thread to inactive files, so somehow my post got lost. I can't remember all of it, and have requested the FA to see if he or she can retrieve it. In the meantime, I want to post to you what I recall from my lost message:

When you tune into the EV site, words fade in and out of the screen in the intro. The one word that keeps coming back larger and larger and remains throughout the intro is the word
'PEOPLE'. Far as I know, the entities that post here fit that description, they are PEOPLE, who somehow got caught in the cogs of DLM/EV and/or Maharaji's instructors and have no recourse or right of redress of their problems or grievances. True, some grievances I find ludicrous...I dont't care if he has six sportscars, for example. But there are other way more serious matters that I will not bore everyone here by repeating...we all know pretty much what we are talking about here.

The other thing I remember writing and losing is this:
When you go into a restaurant or gas station and you first get served and your order is taken, the service is quick and polite.
Then once you are hooked into the process, it seems like the service drops off and your server is running around seating new customers or starting new gas pumps for newcomers, and you have to wait alot longer for that feeling of prompt service, you know?
Well, with all due respect to the management, I don't think that's how it ought to be with Knowledge, that all the politeness and good attention and service is directed to the front end, the apsirants only, while premies who have signed on for the duration are either delayed, put off alot or just plumb ignored. This is bad for any business, from my experience. Once a client base is established, true you must still conduct outreach, but also maintain rapport and keep following up with existing clients, that is, if you really want to retain your base and expand. For aspirants to have the right to directly ask Maharaji questions at intro programs, and then for old timer premies to not even have a voice or get even a mailed reply from even an assistant feels very strange indeed.

As for what I think really matters and what you think really matters: YOU matter, Turner. I am taking time from my life to write to you just as you have take time to write to me. Is your time or life more precious to the Creator than mine? I believe that the communication of accurate information is very important Out Here just as the experience of Knowledge is important In There. On earth as it is in Heaven, Turner, that is the goal. Sat Yuga is not everyone with Knowledge running around living like animals or barbarians.

What is going on in this 3D experience will eventually correspond with the inner experience more and more, of beauty, truth and love made manifest, yes? If not us, then who will manifest that?
Are you waiting for Maharaji to send out a memo that says now we should all be kind to each other and mend our fences? Do you need a prompt from him to do that? I think that's where the inner experience is the teacher and you don't need 'that little guy on the stage' to tell you to wipe your ass, you know?
I understand the concept of the Master not needing to conform with shit in this world, that he is above it all. I don't happen to agree with it when it comes down to people getting hurt who don't seem to be deserving of it. If they are paying off some karma from a past lifetime, then say so. There is altogether too much left unsaid in this dysfunctional premie/ex-premie family, and I know from experience with a small nuclear family that if people don't communicate about what's bothering them and get some closure from the other parties involved, shit stacks up and causes much bigger problems down the road.

There is more, but I can't recall it all just now. But YOU matter Turner, and so do I and so do all the PEOPLE (see EV intro
with emphasis on PEOPLE). Either everything and everyone matters or nothing and nobody matters. I am in the mode of everything and everybody mattering.

See ya soon I hope, here on the thread,

Sandy

Message:
Bonjour, Good morning, Namaste, Hoya middach, gutten morgan, bonjourno, buenes dias, g'day, Hailt'Zelta, etc.

The Year ahead is filled with remarkable possibilities, and it has been some time since honorary members of the Latvian club, their guests and friends, got together to celebrate the good things in life.

These night frequently end with one or more forum personalities in comical states of inebriation. (The International Event last year in San-Francisco, while extremely enjoyable because of the wonderful company, good food, and warm conversation- was not noteworthy for anyone passing out on the table - an achievement of a transatlantic guest at a Parisian Latvian night last Spring. Or the even more debauched behaviour witnessed in the old Latvian Club in London- the memories of which I've no desire to regurgitate upon the carpet of the forum.)

Anyway, one of our lawyers is in Europe soon, so we thought it would be appropriate to celebrate with a European Latvian night. Also, our authentic Latvian connection- JHB, will be around for a while from Riga, so maybe an evening of food, wine and (cough cough)laughter would be in order.

A suggested venue is the Netherlands- very cheap on EasyJet from the UK, if you book in advance.

Maybe sometime around early to middle February. If John can't make it over here, we could always have a night out in London too- unless they put the Iron Curtain back up and he gets trapped behind it.

So, get your dairies out,

Mr.eDrek-

You know, it's funny having a mentor like you...I was hoping that you would 'cut me a little slack' on walkin the straight and narrow...
Like take this 'FALLING in love business'...are you sure that it's really the mind? And is there really no difference between a beautiful gopi like Pauline Premie and that old sow wallowing in the mud behind the outhouse?...I don't know, but for now I'll stay with your advice and stay on that razor thin path of truth...

Ok, let's see, you want real stuff now, don't you...statistics,fact sheets, attendance records,concession profits,foamy numbers...

As of now, we have 6 full time aspirants here at the transmission repair shop....

Donnie Wayne Williams-6 nights-36 foamies@$1.50=$54.00

Billy Joe Bob Backer-14 nights-84 foamies@1.50=$126.00

Jimmy Joe Clontz-10 nights-60 foamies@1.50=$90.00

Selene and Beth Carter-20 nights-240 foamies@0.00=$0.00(ladies nite free beer)

Mr. Joseph Whalen-2 nights-2 foamies@$1.50= -$3.00(didn't pay and actually took $1.50/beer from donation box)

OK,if you notice that the 2 ladies have been comin on Tues. nights only, on account of the free beer...they've been coming for 5 months now, the proper allotted time for the divine seed to percolate in the heart(if you didn't know this, Mr.eDrek,you can impress those fellers at the Participation Team meeting with that 5 month fact...believe me, when you can drop a fact like that to the bigshots at national it goes a long way...)

Donnie, Billy and Jimmy Joe are comin along, blissfully listening to David Smith wax on eloquently about the rigors of the path of devotion and cold showers...they prefer the boob site, but are respectful of Mr. Smith, except when he tries to mooch too many beers off them...

Mr. Whalen is sorta new to these parts and we're not sure what to make of him...he's a pretty smart feller, and sometimes it seems like he knows more about this than he lets on....David Smith is eying him carefully too...I think he's OK, but I wish he would pay for his beer, ya know what I mean?(he does that old trick of puttin his hand in the donation box like he's droppin money in for the foamy,but he's actually takin a few bucks out)

So that's it for the figures...Dave Smith is cuttin up and I think it's good for him...drinkin foamies, swappin old darshan stories, banging on the oil drums all night, howling at the moon, sleeping with the blue-tic hounds...its good for the boy, I hope national doesn't cut him loose....maybe I'll get the Raja that simgle malt scotch and peruvian powder that you recommended and convince him to let dave stay on...

I'm sorry that you can't hoot and holler and have to hide your flask at the videos out there in Westlake Village...that's kinda sad...
See, that's what's wrong with the whole thing these days...kinda lost all the fun, the spontinaity, just watching those videos all night...
Down here in alabama we got it all-beer, videos, outdoor pig pickins, klan visits late at night,dave smith takin off his clothes, greasin up in pig fat, banging on drums, singin arti with a hub cap and used motor oil...we just take it like it is
and one day at a time here in Shaft...

Message:
This is incredibly bad! I must have been completely in my mind thinking that something was happening back at your Superfund site of a transmission repair shop.

By my accounting if the foamies cost $1 each there is only a meager $27 profit. And that's after serving nearly 422 foamies. Do you see anything wrong here? TED, the $27 doesn't even come close to paying Visions for the video subscription! What the hell are you going to do when there are no more videos and it's all done by satellite with direct debit against your SmartCard with per seat charges?

But, TED, I've got bigger problems than that. Well, actually my problem can go away completely if only I had some cash. What kind of cash can you raise in 24 hours, TED? I mean serious cash, too.

I just got off a two hour phone call with Randy Prouty and there's big trouble brewing at the Malibu Marble Palace. It seems that Amar wasn't very happy with the Ford Expedition he got for Christmas and instead he wants one of those BMW SUVs that cost a whole lot more money. Because of Amar's disappointment life has been a living hell in Malibu. Maharaji has been locked in his bedroom now for four days and it's starting to smell bad. The only time anyone sees him is when they bring him food. Maharaji has missed four AA meetings and people are thinking he's got some booze stashed and he's probably drinking again.

You see, TED, the problem is that Maharaji is broke! Busted! Flat lined!

You remember the 'successful private investor' thing? Well, it seems that Maharaji having been gifted lots of DelTek stock by Ken and Donald DeLaski sold DelTek at its bottom and then bought Amazon.com at its top at $110 (after the split) and now Amazon is tanking at $14. Of course, everyone in Malibu advised Maharaji against this play, but Maharaji was absolutely fascinated and enthralled by the fact that he could always order the latest book of Kabir poetry at anytime of day. So, Maharaji won't take the loss and sell because he KNOWS that Amazon is going to one day make a real profit. And that's the reason Maharaji has no cash.

And then there's the price of aviation fuel which means Maharaji has been cooped up in the house for nearly three months now and everybody, but everybody is sick of him and wants him outta there so they can have some peace and quiet for a change. There's one thing to be serving the Lord, but it's another when he really is omnipresent and never goes away. Even the most seasoned devotee can only take so much of that.

Anyway, that's what Randy Prouty told me. I called him back to get some clarification on a few things, but, you know, he couldn't recall a single thing that he had previously told me. He must have just finished meditating.

So, TED, do you understand what this means to me? I'm trying to get back into the Good Graces of our Lord after sorta falling off the path for awhile. Randy is my old buddy back when I lived in that dirty cockroach infested hotel in Miami and now Randy is putting his neck on the line by sponsoring me. Randy was really excited about what I was telling about the Farce's Transmission Repair and Auto-Knowledge Centre (TRAC) in Shaft, Alabama because it was a sign that propagation was alive and the smell of money was in the air once again.

And now you're telling me that we've got only 6 aspirants and we're practically giving away the beer? Are Selene and Beth Carter worth looking at? Do we have anything that we can work with to make it sound better? Can't you cook those numbers or something? TED, this is really, really bad.

Can it get any worse, TED?

Well, YES! It can and does get worse. And here's how.

Randy says that there is so much bad blood between Joe Whalen and David Smith that these guys would probably tear each other apart if they came within fifty yards of each other. Now the fact that David Smith apparently doesn't recognize Joe Whalen means that David Smith has blown a gasket again and needs another trip to Amaroo where he can get his head together while digging sewer pipe ditches on The Land. It's just Dave, a shovel, and Dave's mind broiling away in the hot sun. Works every time.

We gotta get David Smith outta there before Whalen 'outhouses' him. Seeing your life flash before your eyes after you've been shoved head first down the hole is one hell of a way to go that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

TED, let's make sure that we are perfectly synchronized and get David Smith outta town now. They got an airport in Shaft with connections to Sydney, Australia? I want Smith on the next flight and I don't care if you've got to sell your El Camino to do it. We'll deal with this Whalen guy later.

Jai Satchitanand

P.S. TED, if you screw up here I think that you can forget all about Pauline Premie.

Message:
Mr. eDrek-

OK, son, slow down, lets go over these figures again...

I think we may just find that we got some good news and some bad news...

First, lets take the most important things first, the Foamy stats.(These are synchronized with National, and have been cleared on First Class, so you know they're OK).

Your math's a little rusty, son, but maybe you learned your accounting skills at COLL or Denver IHQ, or something, cos we got the following totals:

422 foamies served

$267 taken in ($270-$3 taken out by aspirant Joe W.)
$211 spent on wholesale foamies (roughly $.50/apiece, bought in bulk at Sam's discount House)
$44 spent on pretzels (those boys can munch, especially when it gets to the really excitin parts of the video)

Profit of $12.00 (would have been $15.00, but slippery Joe did his thing)

I'm thinkin of chargin for the boob site, maybe $.50/minute, and maybe gettin one of them blackjack card machines in here too.

Could also make the outhouse a 'pay as you go' system, or something like that...(a buck a crap?, $.50 if you just use the
woods?)

Now, as far as cookin those numbers, I see some light at the end of the tunnel on that one, Mr. eDrek...

Like Mr. JM, the instructor says, we can be 'liberal' when it comes to those numbers, and here's how I'm fixin to do it...

Tues nite, ladies nite, we're gonna cook up a big pot of chile...real hot stuff, lots of possum, squirrel, and other assorted varmints we can throw in...
Believe me, theres gonna be plenty of 'outhouse runs' that night..I think we can safely cook those numbers and count each person as they come through the door...I expect that between me and TED JR., the 6 aspirants,plus all the free ladies, we'll have at least 80-100 counted that night...

Now about that 70's disco suit...do I have one?
Son, does a bear shit in the woods?
Those suits didn't come in down here until the late 80's, and their all the rage down here in Shaft, and in the big city too (Mobile)...remember, they're called leisure suits, and we swear by em down here at the TRAC center....nice wide lapels, bell bottom pants that end halfway up the calf with a nice clean pair of white socks,polka dot shirt, we're way ahead of ya son...did you know that 'Kramer' shops in Shaft?

And about Pauline, god what I'd do for a date with her...I swear we'd just have satsang,er excuse me, share our experience, er excuse me, share our understanding of maharajis experience that he's having, and maybe plan a little service, I mean participation, to express our gratitude....(oh the gratitude I'd have if I could synchronize with that gal...I think she'd experience a litttle service too)

Bear with me, Mr. eDrek, we were up late last night banging on the drums with dave, I'm a little tired...I like the guy, hate to see him get shipped off to amaroo to dig ditches...why he could dig em here if he likes, we're gonn need a new crapper right soon, with all the increaed traffic we've had since the TRAC center got synched up with national...

Later dude,

We used to live in the same ashram(London (UK), Kalisia Ave 77/78) for a while.
He worked in Brown's at the time and gave me a great tie as a present and was not afraid of the house father(Nick -Seymour Jones)who was a bit of a religious zealot.

My guess is that he is still in the cult.
Hope I'm wrong.

Iraqi state television says President Saddam Hussein will deliver his annual army day speech on Saturday - a development which may further dispell rumours that he has suffered a severe stroke.
The speech, marking the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Iraqi army, is to be broadcast on radio and television at 1100 (0800 GMT) and will be addressed to the Iraqi people and the Arab world at large, the TV said. Mr Hussein has meanwhile made another appearance on Iraqi television - his second in two days. He was shown chatting to a group of entertainers including Egyptian actor Muhammad Subhi and the Syrian star Raghda.
The group has been in Baghdad since 22 December to perform a play and distribute toys and presents to Iraqi children.
'Saddam loves his nation, but he loves Egypt especially because he has lived in Egypt,' the television commentary said.
The president was shown both standing and seated, greeting the actors and discussing the concept of pan-Arabism and the Palestinian situation. BBC monitors said he appeared to be in good health.The broadcast did not indicate when the pictures were recorded.
Stroke dismissed
On Wednesday, an Iraqi Government spokesman dismissed as ridiculous a report from an Iraqi opposition group in Syria that the president, who is 63, had suffered a stroke on Sunday

During a dinner with some friends, the topic of eye strain from computer monitors came up, and I decided to do a search. I thought others here might be interested in the following:

Although the first studies on the effects of VDT on health were done in Sweden in the early 1970s, these studies focused on how VDTs and the work environment might be responsible for user fatigue and musculoskeletal symptoms. The effect of EMR emitted from VDTs became the focus in 1977 when two young employees (aged 29 and 35) at The New York Times had cataracts. Including these two individuals, eight cases of cataracts, presumably related to VDT, were reported by The Newspaper Guild. In 1979, a cluster ...

And are thought to suppress the immune system, from VDT health risks: What to do while the jury's out

The above site also includes tips on how to reduce the risk level. don't be fooled into thinking the jury is out - remember how long the jury was kept out on smoking and is still being kept(bought) out on many other serious issues?

I bought a screen that reduces glare and radiation for my monitor yesterday.

None of those screens work adequately, I did extensive research into this, since I am electromagnetically sensitive.

There is something called a Tri-Field Meter which measures electromagnetic fields very accurately (they're expensive and you can rent them). (You'd be surprised where EMFs can come from, thru walls etc.) I found the screens did virtually nothing to block it out.

However, the flat screen monitors which are just coming out, as well as the notebook/Powerbook monitors emit virtually NO EMFs. I took the meter to the computer store and measured them all. I can sit in front of my PowerBook indefinitely without eye strain or getting dizzy or red in the face (which would happen after 10 minutes on my old CRT monitor).

Hi Joy,

The next time I can afford to upgrade I will be getting a flat screen monitor. My sister already has one for her PC - you can definitely feel the diffence, but they are still expensive, and I just bought a new G4.

The second link talks about the problem of radiation going through walls, so I'm glad I don't work in cubesville, but if anyone reading this does, it's well worth checking into that link.

I'm very glad to hear that you have bought a radiation-free screen, Joy!

Hey Salam, don't insult my cute little PowerBook! It is my best friend! Goes everywhere with me (can you say the same about your clunky big computer??)

Congrats on the effort to stop smoking. I know it's hell, been there/done that (a few times, but this time it's for good, been seven years now without one). It WILL get easier. My strategy was to NOT -- under any circumstances -- to buy another pack. When that happens, it's all over, you're back to square one. If you absolutely have to break down and have one, bum one from someone smoking. I used to even do this to strangers I'd see on the street, I'd offer them a quarter for one. And then I found a little Korean man at the corner grocery who'd sell them to me individually, even though it was against the law. That way when the urge became overpowering (and it sure does) I didn't end up slipping all the way back down the slope, just a little. And as time wore on, it became even easier until now I just can't handle even being in the room with smokers. But at the beginning during that weaning off process, I used to just love the smell, and even walking behind someone on the street smoking was a pleasure. Goes to show how screwed up our systems can get. If it's any incentive, commercial cigarettes contain over 500 (yes!) man-made and toxic chemicals. Go take a look at some of those lung cancer ads and see what those can do to you! I know that's not much help when you WANT ONE, though.

Best of luck!!!
Joy

Patience is a virtue - my 'things to do list' runneth over. Have you tested your secret weapon against clay on Montreal soil? I'd be VERY surprised if you have a secret I haven't read and tried yet! In fact one book said the best way to approach clay is double digging (2 feet deep) and adding a lot of organic matter, which is what I've been doing. And I know you've been training lately, just when I have been 'frozen-out' of my garden! I'm not worried - My training has been going on a lot longer than yours!

Ha ha ignorance is bliss. Digging 2 feet she says, poo.

Please don't mention that moron, rawat to me at present am stressing out not smoking.

What I do not understand is how does anything ever grow in country full of white shit?

What is that thing called, sterioscopic vision, or something? You know Canada is full of canucks, Australia is full of kangoroos and new zealand is full of kewies.

You do aromatherapy, do you know any oil that will help in my delemma of not smoking? Do you know if spuds are good for it? I think am hallucinating.

Bwah hah!

Organic matter (or as we call it at work 'OM') is a great amendment for clay soils. The biggest problem I have with clay soils is that you have to dig them at the exact right moisture content - if they are too wet, you destroy structure and make impenetrable clods, and if they are too dry, they are rock hard.

I don't double-dig, by the way, I just dig extra deep holes for everything and mix in OM at the bottom. Seems to work OK.

Anna, thanks for the VDT links and thanks to Joy as well for the hint about flat-screen monitors (Brian already wants one of those anyway - now he has an excuse to buy one!)

Salam, I pity you - we haven't quit smoking yet, but it's not going to be fun when we do. Are you using any of the nicotine substitutes - I couldn't do it without them (I KNOW this by experience, don't ask!)

'Bwah hah'?! That's a new one!

Yes about the difficulty finding the right time to dig clay soils. That aspect alone has been very frustating at times! But my worms are getting bigger and more numerous. The professional 'gardener' next door was a big help with my annual fall leaf thief activities. He gets fined if he dumps the leaves he rakes up for others, and has to pay to get rid of them, or drive out to a secluded spot in the country. He's thrilled I want them and helps me to unload them off his pick-up. I have a few other neighbours who keep them for me and let me know when their bags are ready for pick-up. So many people helping to save me from my nocturnal criminal (and really strenuous!) activities! ;-)

I'm sure your method works fine - your soil can't be as clay as Montreal's. Ultimately the clay content will be a bonus for most plants, as I understand it, especially for my rose shrubs!

Salam, I've heard about clay-busters - I think it's something like m's 'Knowledge', with less BS. Ooops! I forgot, I'm not supposed to mention him right now. ;-)

VERY glad to hear you'll be getting a flat screen. I also appreciated Joy mentioning that she's tested them for radiation and they come up virtually 0. My sister was glad to hear this too, especially wrt her two kids.

Much love,

Anna

Were have you been? Has that Brian been giving you hard time and make you work, while he spends all his time sleeping? U like I fix him up for you?

Stoping smoking is a bastard, I am using nicotine patches and chewing gum and am going bananaanana as u see. I can not count the number of times I have tried to quit, but this time I am determined to do it. bloody stincky habit, smoke in my eyes, ash everywhere, dog coughing, too expensive. Must stop, must stop, must stop.

Ah yes clay soil, u2 ever heared of clay breaker, or is that too tech for you. Well me dears, it is something u buy from a hardware store. Take home. Then u go poking the ground with you're garden forks then spray the thing. Sometimes it comes in a spray pack. If u do it during winter by the time summer comes the clay will be broken and it is easy to turn over which in turn makes easy to add more clay breaker. Ofcourse u need to add organic matter for the spuds, but am sure there are native plants that will grow in ex-clay soils.

Agree too with flat screen monitors, but still expensive.

Well I just made me a slad and ate it, do u know if stopping somking makes you eat. All I want to do is eat all the time, who cares, have not had a salad in 6 months.

I think you should have a cooking and gardening forums going, makes a change from talking about that moron rawat.

Nice to see you're still around. U think we should start a rummble?
