Yo Papajeff,
So now we wait to see if/when stress management
becomes a mandatory component of the
educational process. One of the very best
things for children (and adults) to know are ways
to cope with life and one of the most effective
is meditation. Please, everyone reading this,
encourage your local school board to add this
vital and beneficial knowledge to the curriculum
of every level of education. This effort has the
potential to do more good for the future than
virtually any other subject we can teach our kids.
Peace and blessings,
Bob

Yo Sean,
I believe that one theory points to sleep paralysis as
the real event that is going on when people think
they have been abducted by aliens. As far as Night Terrors,
seeing the Eagles give up 12 sacks last Sunday night was
about as terrifying a night as I can remember in a long time!
Peace and blessing,
Bob

Sean,
Night Terror's are a natural part of a pre OBE. They have been called
the old Hag syndrome for ages too. Once you learn to NOT react to
these bazaar event's will be able to have an OBE, which in most cases
are very enjoyable and educational.

This is just a barrier we must get past. You can find out more info by
searching for Dream Initiative, Lucid Dreamer..etc.

That was the previous week/game,
Jeff -- perhaps Superman loses
his powers without his
Invulnerable Cape?  I know my
G-Men aren't that good, and I
know Bobji's Iggles aren't that
bad.  Big Brandon Jacobs is
back for my guys next week,
let's see if he can stay
unhurt for more than one game
-- if he can, they might have a
good run on one team Bobji and
I agree on: the Dallas Cowgirls.

I know. I couldn't open
my eyes for a week.

Clark Kent wouldn't have
been caught dead in those
krypto costumes.

Haven't decided if I want
to back the Bucs, or see
Chucky go, more than I
want them to win.

Easy pick to stay loyal
to my New England roots.

A roaming safety
gathers no Moss.

Writing of meditation -
anyone see the recent
dairy commercial with an
Aflac imposter meditating...

only to be told by some
roaming cows that it
is not "Ommmmm", but...?

What's a META phor?

Nice that you could
see the parallels in
the sports analogies.

I wrestled with night
terrors and paralysis
for several years in
my teens.

Felt like someone was
smothering me with
pillow. I wrote it off
as a pre-verbal recall
of an attempt to off me by
some family member who
didn't want me around,
but who chickened out at
the last minute.

But seriously folks, I
think trying to figure
them out falls in the
same category as dream
analysis.

Here's my final conclusions
after years of research:

The brain is reacting like...
you how a sock sticks to a towel
when you them out of the dryer?

Like that.

Om Shanti

You are born in this world to do some good andnot to pass your
days in idealness.If you are
useless then you are a burden to this world.You must always to think
of rising higher in goodne
-ss or wisdom.Man is noblest living being.You will be abusing the
previlage you have attaind if
  you are not worthy of the cause for which your merits have given you
this high place.
     Man truely is a mind, and not just an body.And being a mind, he
must be a thinker,since thin
-king is the specific function of mind;  If does not know how to
think as a man ,Then he is not a
  prefect man.
     Of all the infinity of beings in this universe . The human being
is amongst a few species that
have climbed the most in the up-hill travel to the summit of
existence . We are near to summit
and in one lap we may reach it.Even if we can not on to the direct
and comfprtable route,trave
-lling along which we can reach summit before long,and avoid the risk
of having to fall back fro
-m the heights we have already reached the human life.
      Our most urgent task,Therefore, is to ensure taht we donot fall
below our present lpan of exi
-stance and,for the perpose,we must comprehend the process of life
and realize that each one
is at the helm of his career.Each of us must realize that how to
steer his life clear of lower exist
-ance; he must understand the map and see that he keeps to the
correct routes which will main
-tain him a higher life and which wilkl ultimately lead him to his
destination.
      Happiness and misery,which are the common lot of humanity, are
the in viable efforts of so-
me cause or causes.They are not rewards and punishments,assigned by a
supernatural power
to a soul that has done good or evil. The currents of life are always
streaming in one direction .
Man musy adopt himself tp this flow of life,and as a reward he can
find complate harmony;.All
of mans ill come from his crossing lifes currents.No man can cross
the ocean in a sailing boat.
by defying the winds; he must adjust his sail to use them.
      Foe the sake of matereal gain modern man does not listen to the
voice of nature.His mental
activities are o preoccupied with his future happiness that he
neglects the needs of his physical
body and entirely forgets the present moments for what it is worth .
This unnatural behaviour of
persent mankind is the immidiate of his wrong conceptions of worlds
order of human life and
its ultimate perpose . It is the cause of frustration, anxiety, fear
and unsecurity of our time .One
who really like to have to peace should not disturb other mans
freedom.
      What are you hope for?What is the perpose of your life?
Apparently a very few childrans ever
thinks of asking themselves this question indeed many people will go
through their whole lives
  from birth to death and it will never occur to them to consider the
matter at all.The result is that
  there is no development at all. They have allowed every thing to
happen to them insteed of they,themselves,making things happens for
themselves.Only very few people have realised that
the perpose of life is grouth,progress from ignorance top
enlightenment and from unhappiness
to
happiness.
                                                   (SURENDRA)

Generally most people dislike ti see the true facts of life.They like
to full themselves in to
security by dreaming,imagination and taking the shadow for the
substance.
     If we consider only the actual state of humanity,it is clear that
the unsatisfactory theory is still
  the only one that can be sustained...It will suffer to take an
average, normal huamn life. That of
man place in ordinary circumstances and of ordinary understanging;and
to consider to it coolly
. What does his existance consist in ?  During one quarter of a
century he work to acquire the
means of livelyhood; for another quarter he struggels amid perpectual
anxities to make these
  maens of life give a sufficient return;he die without knowing
exactly why he has lived at all.what
pain and sorrow . What aixieties and dieappointments during the short
quarter century during
which the man'enjoy' his gains, ephemeral youth with its short lived
its illusions;a life warn down
by the way side of life and soon faded;a few instances of repose,and
then the weary march far-
ward again.Personal anxieties,faimly worries,heavy and leaseless
work;vexations dis illusion
and deceptions;such is the common lot of mortals.For those who have
an idea it is worse;some
whilst intoxicated in the persuit of illusion had the heart breaking
discovery of importance in attai
-ning them.... Even the concept of an ideally privilaged humanity ,
highly evoloped and happy ,
is weaking its foundations. Humnaity will seeits happy life poisoned
by the idea of inevialable
and approaching annihilation . The thought of death as the end of all
would be unendurable to
hyperson of life it self....At every turn and stage of life,in the
midst of every joy, his ear will hear
the knell.
     However ingeniously we might plan and organise oue society and
adjust human relationships
,So long as the world it what it is, the best of us cannot escapr
suffering....Even if by some stroke
of good fortune,we cannot free overselves from death.and our bodily
orgenism has in it seed of
dissolution.Morality seems native to your world.'The system of nature
does not sympathise with
the bless for which we sign.....our bound hopes are shetlise to dust
and over tenderest ideas m-
ocked by the stern in defference of nature.''
      They relocation of death , accompained with right attitude of
mind , gives a man courge and
calm even in time of death.They physical boidy we can to be so real
lasts then a centery,our im-
otions are but a stream of feelings and images , our mind but a
stream of thoughts.There is no
  permanency in us.
      So, to the  suffering and dispairing who sought light and help
that all man begain by basing
their hopes of happiness on a life whose elements are shifting as the
sands of a river-mouth.life
is suffering because life is impermanent.This ceaseless passage of
time is so obvious a quality
of our lives that we take it for granted.With in this ceaseless
movement,all things we know are
  born,grow,decay and die and we along with them.
      Even our happiness has this unbdertone of sorrow,If we are
seeking for truth,This must reco-
gnised,wether we like it or not.It is not easy to accept this vision
of the suffering of a world which
seems at a time so fair.And yet when we look around we see, even in
the beauty of spring.how
  many are dying, how many more suffering from incurable disease.We
see dis appointed effe-
ction or frustrated hopes making life batter to others,and the beauty
of the world seems mockery
.Generally,as we grow in year and expire and the vision it we are not
wilfully blind.(SURENDRA)

Steady yourself on this earth first


Excerpts from speeches delivered by Siddha Yogi Shri
Siva Shankar Baba



My philosophy of working is not talking about the
heavens. I am making people to first plant their feet
firmly on the earth. Steady yourself on this earth and
then we can talk about the skies. Else you will just
fall down. If the bus conductor does not place his
feet firmly, then every time the driver applies the
brake, he will fall down. The same concept applies to
life.

This is my language and the present younger generation
is able to identify themselves with this technique. It
suits them very well. My methods are very different.
It is not easy to understand me.

But I mean only good to anyone who come to me. It is
difficult for everyone to understand me. But I mean
only good, nothing but good, to everyone who comes to
me.

New www.Kabbalah.info Website

Delivers the Power and Wisdom of Kabbalah to the World



Expanded and revised Kabbalah.info website delivers comprehensive
information and tools to meet worldwide demand

Tel Aviv, Israel October 5, 2007 – www.Kabbalah.info, the world's
largest online source for free Kabbalah content, has updated and
expanded its site to meet the growing worldwide interest in the wisdom
and study of Kabbalah. The new site offers quick and easy access to a
wealth of information and resources for learning the science of Kabbalah.

"There has been rapidly growing interest in Kabbalah. For this reason,
we have renewed www.kabbalah.info taking first-time visitor needs into
specific consideration," reports Kabbalah.info spokesperson Tony Kosinec.

In the past twelve months alone, www.kabbalah.info has attracted 2.5
million visitors – three times more than the preceding twelve months.
Kosinec expects this boom to continue rising: "Whether it's through
pop celebrities or quantum physicists, people are hearing about
Kabbalah from all kinds of directions, and this media-influenced
curiosity is bringing them to our site. Our aim with this new site is
to serve this curiosity, providing initial explanations of what
Kabbalah is and isn't, letting people know who it's for and why it's
studied, and to do this in an entertaining, quick and
easy-to-understand way."

The site offers all of its materials and services free, using the
latest Flash technology, video clips and list-style articles to
present its message to first-timers. Two minutes on the home page
already gives the visitor "3 Things You Should Know About Kabbalah" –
an introductory Flash presentation explaining (1) What is Kabbalah?
(2) What is not Kabbalah? and (3) What is the goal of Kabbalah?

Visitors can get this information elaborated in the "What is
Kabbalah?" environment, or go directly to a guided introductory course
(either with a live instructor or recorded lessons). There are options
to download free eBooks and audio books, participate in live daily
lessons, listen to Kabbalistic music, browse an extensive library of
authentic Kabbalah texts, watch video clips and films, and even ask
questions and get answers live, daily, with internationally renowned
Kabbalist Rav Michael Laitman, PhD – the principle teacher and founder
of Kabbalah.info.

"In the end, this site is for everybody because today, Kabbalah is for
everybody. Kabbalists throughout history have pointed to our era as
the one where the secrets of Kabbalah would become disclosed to
humanity. While there is definitely growing interest in Kabbalah,
there is still a lot of confusion as to what it actually is and what
it can do for people. Our new site has been developed to eliminate
this confusion. It makes clear the essence and purpose of Kabbalah, so
that after a short time on the site people can see what authentic
Kabbalah entails, and decide whether it's a path they want to take or
not," says Kosinec.

Kabbalah.info was founded by Rav Michael Laitman, PhD, Israel-based
kabbalist, professor in ontology and the theory of knowledge, and
author of over thirty books on Kabbalah. Rav Laitman will be touring
the United States and Canada during October 9 – 24, 2007, publicly
lecturing on authentic Kabbalah. Click here for location, date and
time information.

About Kabbalah.info
Kabbalah.info is the largest source of authentic Kabbalah wisdom
available on the Internet, catering to over 1,000,000 unique visitors
a month in twenty-six languages. Available free of charge on
www.kabbalah.info are over ten thousand video Kabbalah lessons, a
library of authentic Kabbalah texts, over thirty books for free
download, introductory Kabbalah lessons and courses, and feature and
documentary films on Kabbalah. Live daily broadcasts of Kabbalah
lessons over the Internet are simultaneously translated from Hebrew
into English, Spanish, German, Russian, Italian, French and Turkish.

Something cool that Xerox is doing

If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com
you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will
print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is
currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who
gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed
services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we
know to send one!!!  This is a great site.  Please
send a card.   It is FREE and it only takes a second.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers
received a bunch of these?   Whether you are for or
against the war, our guys and gals over there need to
know we are behind them...

to state briefly man in india we call manushan.manas meaning
mind.meditation aims at stilling the mind.by chanting one mantra and
slowly driving out all other thoughts and finally the mantra also
the mind becomes blank.having started TM thirty years back with a
mantra,initially i felt euphoric and felt thats it.but slowly there
was a feeling of dissatisfaction.i now feel mind is like any other
organ like hand or feet or eyes or ears.since this mind is involved
in almost all the sensory perceptions in recalling recollecting or
in some way it has slowly become a master and has gone crazy acting
without stop and trying to lead the person than just being an
instrument.yes while we are able to use it constructively to
analyse.judge conclude and plan we are helpless to switch it off
when not required.the children do not think much.a butterfly chase
can make them more happy than a great property.i think we have lost
the ability to switch off the mind.now the gr88  question is
fine...but how to switch off?in my  opinion it is not that difficult
either.from ecckhart tolles power of now,i realised always being
focussed on anything that we are engaged at the moment...at this
very moment..and bringing the mind constantly back to whatever we
are doing now..( not asking for much isnt it?)..not thinking about
the consequences or results or fretting about why we have not done
this yesterday or any other thought interfering...just be
here...now..100% is one thing.
secondly when we are not doing anything ..just observing what our
thoughts.mind is unable to think when looked at.
the gap in thoughts could be only couple of seconds but it is a
start..and i think ..as i read  here earlier not seeking just
watching.. watchingintently to catch a thought...

From a science viewpoint:
Quantum cosmologists Steven Hawking and Jim Hartle suggest that concepts like a Big Bang, singularity, or a beginning and end, are meaningless because time does not exist.  This 'No Boundary' theory is actually quite consistant with what the Buddhas and Mahasiddhas from the East have been saying for thousands of years, as they embraced methods for experiencing Timelessness.

From this Quantum Cosmological view, there actually is no creation, thus no creator,...because the word creation/creator implies a before and after, or time.

From a spiritual viewpoint:
In the book Tantric Transformation, Osho said, "Start knowing what you really know, and stop believing what you really don't know.  Somebody asks you. "Is there a God?"  and you say, "Yes, God is."  Remember: Do you really know?  If you don't know, please don't say that you do.  Say, "I don't know.". . . False knowing is the enemy of true knowledge.  All beliefs are false knowledge."

From a Buddhist viewpoint:

From a neuroscience viewpoint:
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/7.11/persinger.html

From a logical viewpoint:
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/evil/
1. If God exists, then God is omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect.
2. If God is omnipotent, then God has the power to eliminate all evil.
3. If God is omniscient, then God knows when evil exists.
4. If God is morally perfect, then God has the desire to eliminate all evil.
5. Evil exists.
6. If evil exists and God exists, then either God doesn't have the power to eliminate all evil, or doesn't know when evil exists, or doesn't have the desire to eliminate all evil.
7. Therefore, God doesn't exist.

From a Webster's Unabridged viewpoint:

1. A being (condition) conceived as the omnipotent (condition), omniscient (condition) originator and ruler (condition) of the universe (condition), the principal object (condition) of faith and worship (conditions) in monotheistic religions (conditions).
2. The force (condition), effect (condition), or a manifestation or aspect (conditions) of this being (condition).
3. A being of supernatural powers (condition) or attributes (conditions), believed in and worshiped (conditions) by a people, especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality (conditions).
4. An image of a supernatural being; an idol (conditions).
5. One that is worshiped, idealized, or followed (conditioned).
6. A very handsome man (condition).
7. A powerful ruler or despot (conditions).
