Darsana Ten - Verse Four
Nirvana Darsana verse 4
The impure-pure is devoid of rajas and tamas
And the other is with rajas and tamas.
The former is known to be in the seeker of liberation,
The latter in those who desire psychic attainment.
The impure-pure is without passion and inertia,
The other is with passion and inertia.
The former as in one who desires liberation,
While the latter as in those who desire psychic powers, is to be known.
It's safe to say that no one in our class is here because they want to develop psychic attainments, or siddhis. Yet that is what the uninformed or misinformed believe Indian philosophy to be all about. The popularity of Paramahansa Yogananda's autobiography, through which a great many Westerners were introduced to the lurid version of Indian religion, is one major reason. Jan has observed this phenomenon, relating how ironic it is that friends who hear about her class in Indian philosophy have the perception that we are doing something exotic, different, cool, whether becoming wise or who knows what. She does take the opportunity to dispel those myths if she can. Prabu added that in India as well, a widespread belief is that Indian philosophy is all about magical powers and how to attain them. He recalled talking to a philosophy major and asking him about what Indian philosophy he studied as part of his course. The response was that the Indian version was all about power seeking, and had nothing to do with philosophy, so it wasn't included in the curriculum.
I don't need to emphasize how unfortunate this is, since what we're doing is essentially normalizing our consciousness. Mere sanity isn't exciting enough, unless it's packaged with grandiose claims of godlike accomplishments. Perhaps that's a reason sanity is in such short supply these days. I suspect it's always been somewhat of a rarity.
The Gurukula, solidly based in traditional wisdom, holds that siddhis are an accidental result of the striving for liberation, and they should never be mistaken for the goal itself. If they are made an intentional goal, you will be led into a deepening morass of entanglements—the opposite of liberation. (I have clipped in part of my Gita commentary on eight classic siddhis and Nitya's take on them in Part II.) Nitya quotes an ancient Vyasa asserting that the attainment of power is inimical to the one-pointed concentration needed for liberation, and he cites Patanjali as well:
In the path of yoga there are many pitfalls and snares that can easily trap the ambitious ego of even a sincere aspirant. In Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, Chapter 3, aphorism thirty-six, it says:
Thence (from the knowledge of purusha) arise prescience, (pratibha), supernormal power of hearing, (sravana), supernormal power of touch, (vedana), supernormal power of sight, (adarsa), supernormal power of taste, (asvada), and supernormal power of smell, (varta).
Vyasa says that when the knowledge of purusha is acquired these faculties are developed involuntarily, i.e. without the application of samyama.
I shared how Nitya was unequivocal that siddhis were at best a distracting side issue, and that intense focus had to be maintained on retaining clarity. Of course the abilities are quite cool—who wouldn't want supernormal sensibilities, for starters? And that's precisely why great care is needed. It is very easy to be sucked into a seemingly benign pursuit that demands more and more of your time and attention until it becomes a kind of shroud of superimpositions, as Paul eloquently described it. To paraphrase an old saw, the more power you gain the more it corrupts you. Have you seen any evidence of this lately in the public sphere?
All we are after in our humble studies is attaining a neutral state of balance. Nancy likened it to seeing a book leaning on a shelf: you naturally want to straighten it. Leaning with your body can give you a bad back, as one of her clients recently reported to her. Nancy read out this paragraph:
Even in the first chapter of the aphorisms of Patanjali a warning is given, in aphorism thirty. There the impediments which disturb the mind are given as sickness, incompetence, doubt, delusion, sloth, non-abstention, erroneous conception, non-attainment of any yogic stage, and instability to stay in a yogic state.
Nancy, while owning up to intimate familiarity with those impediments and more, felt that there was nothing to be attained in this. It's just that if you were not disturbed by any of these all-too-familiar states of mind, you would already be in a state of detachment. In other words, liberation is not an attainment at all. To Nancy, compassion and care is the default setting. She felt that if you came to know the state free of impediments, you would be happy to share that with others around you—you would see their sloth and sickness and so on and try to help. It's just like if something had fallen over, you would pick it back up without a second thought.
After reading the commentary some days ago, 'prescient' internet participant Pratibha wrote: "Some would argue that rajas and tamas are always present, though in varying proportions." I agree, and we addressed this in the class. It seems to me what the Guru means is that all three gunas are always present in the seeker, but one tends to be dominant. The cliché is to refer to a person as being one or the other, as if it was a monolithic condition, but they all go together and so are all present.
Many people believe the point of spirituality is to "become more sattvic," a rajasic notion, by the way. Doing is rajasic. Anyway, the Gita and the Gurukula version of Vedanta are unequivocal that in a liberated person the gunas are all to be transcended, not just rajas and tamas. They represent the variety of the conditioning of nature. Yoga is not about being selective about which aspect of nature you resonate with, but about transcendence of all external influences. More on that later.
The idea in a nutshell is that a sattvic-predominant person is focused on the highest values, while a rajasic person is working for psychic powers and a tamasic one on some casserole of confused values.
Note here that sattva dominates in the one who desires liberation. While this is an admirable desire, one of the best, it nonetheless implies that such a seeker believes they are not liberated, and so are imagining the virtuous state to be far off. To this extent it isn't perfect. After this verse we will be taking a look at those who realize they are already liberated, the truly nondual attitude.
Paul complained (in his gentle way) that transcendence of the phenomenal implies a rejection, and this breeds the very separateness we are trying to overcome. It's a very good point. I suggested that this too was mainly a semantic issue. Narayana Guru affirms that this world is as real as anything can be, so we can accept it. For instance, Atmopadesa Satakam verse 88 reads in part, "Everything is real in itself; one who grasps the basic truth will understand all this as one." So transcendence is in a way ultimate acceptance. We aren't rejecting, only we are no longer being thrown off kilter by transactional events. We are holding steady in a deeper grounding. This is summed up a little inaccurately by saying we transcend the phenomenal. I suggested it's shorthand for transcending the deluding influence of the phenomenal. I concluded that it's a particularly good idea to transcend your conditioning, because whatever way we conceive of reality is so much less than what it really is.
Deb took Ramana Maharshi and Narayana Guru as examples of getting it just right. They were aware and concerned with the world as it appeared on their doorstep, but not upset by any of it. They were amazingly compassionate to animals and people, making sure all their needs were attended to, but any imperfections didn't draw them out of their blissful states. Care for all wasn't a task or duty to them: they felt no sense of separation from anything outside, because in truth there was no outside.
Prabu contrasted this impeccable attitude with Nietzsche's, who he's been reading lately. Nietzsche makes a clear distinction between superior and inferior types of people. Since philosophers have superior intellect, they should make the rules that others then are wise to follow. Prabu is right to note the heavy-handed dualism and its potential for abuse, which history wound up amply demonstrating. But we can also understand the appeal, and see how easily and with the best of intentions we might adopt those kinds of alluring ideals. The perversion of the ubermensch by the Not-sees is an epochal cautionary tale.
After taking all this in, Paul summed up the optimal state as transparency and equanimity toward both the phenomenal and the transcendent. He even suspected they were ultimately the same thing, and I suspect he's on to something.
Nataraja Guru speaks to the subtleties involved with a provisional sattvic attitude in Volume II of his Integrated Science of the Absolute:
The broad distinction of a man of action from a man of wisdom is clearly brought out in the Bhagavadgita (VI.1). One can transcend works and discard ritual while still recognizing the value of action as something to be understood and transcended. Wisdom and works cannot be mixed, nor should they ever be rival disciplines. One must rise above this duality into the level of full emancipation. Once this highest level is reached, the ladder (if any) is discarded. This is like removing the scaffolding from a building after it is complete. (153)
Moving on, Nitya opens his commentary with a brief summary of the basics:
Man acts by compulsion or impulsion. Compulsion comes from conditioning, which is either instinctual or acquired. Instinctive compulsion is a behavioral pattern shared by all members of the species. The dictates of wisdom and the discipline of yoga are directed against such compulsive behavior.
Instinctive compulsion comes from vasanas, our genetic predilections, while acquired compulsions are called samskaras. Nitya provides a neat synopsis of how we are to cope with them:
As a part of the yogi's sublimating discipline, reflexive and autonomous functions are infused with mindfulness, and unconscious compulsions are substituted with conscious deliberations. Conscious deliberations, however, can become accentuated and reinforced by obsessive naturalistic passions or depressive inhibitions that come in the form of periodic confusion and clouding of the intellect.
Here the conscious deliberations are our sattvic method of accessing the values we aim for. These can be distorted (and often are) by rajasic passions for promulgating one's visions and/or the depressive inhibitions of tamas for throwing cold water on any kind of visionary impulse, your own or someone else's. Obviously this is an area demanding careful contemplation to avoid being drawn in to a self-defeating attitude. Once that danger is nullified, we have more subtle challenges to face:
In the rare case of those who steer clear of these anomalies, the only passion that survives is the desire to be liberated and the only confusion stems from putting their trust in the envisioning of a state of liberation which they are prone to structure on the basis of their a priori knowledge of liberation. In their pursuit there is no stain of evil, and their ardent effort will ultimately bear the fruit of liberation. Therefore the nirvana to which they are drawn is certainly pure.
"Evil" is another one of those clichés that it seems is never going to go away. I suppose it's a handy term, but it has been so grossly exaggerated in America at least that it inevitably supplies its own measure of distortion. The 'stain of evil' is like sin: a measure of "missing the mark." Striving for power (rajas) or smashing all kind gestures and sensible intentions (tamas) are what passes for evil, simply because they do not lead to liberation. They lead to further involvement in binding, self-reinforcing situations. Sattva does the same, in a much gentler fashion. As usual, Nitya puts the limitations of sattvic seekers quite succinctly:
Although their knowledge and volition are free from the modulations of rajasic passions and tamasic confusion, they do not enter the state of pure liberation until their consciousness is freed of their identification with bondage and the notion of liberation as a futuristic possibility. For that reason there is impurity in the conceptual liberation of the seeker.
We must all be familiar with those who get involved with some form of "practice" and get so involved in it that it becomes a substitute for liberation. The striving becomes an end in itself. Or evangelizing. Bill's frequent quoting of Suzuki-roshi, that we don't sit in meditation to achieve anything, we sit because it's our true nature, expresses this idea beautifully.
Last week we mentioned Rajneesh and Chogyam Trungpa as perfect examples of highly advanced seers who were incautiously drawn into power situations, leading to the downfall of all they had hoped for. These kinds of deceits are very hard to perceive at the outset, as their fallout takes time to arrive. When it finally does, wham! Lots of organization-building (rajas) followed by delusion and isolation, leading eventually to paranoia, anger and hatred (tamas). Nitya epitomizes the resultant state perfectly, quoting from an impeccable source of Indian philosophy:
In the Yoga Vasishtha, Valmiki also laments the fate of the misguided yogic aspirants who are ensnared by psychic attainments. In spite of their discipline, their conceit and ambition to hold positions of power among their deluded fellow humans causes them to perpetuate around themselves a faith in the hallucinatory phenomena of the miracle, which drowns both themselves and others in the muddy waters of confusion that are surrogatively looked upon as spiritual. Hence the state of such a yogic aspirant is termed here as doubly impure.
Ah yes, being top dog of everyone unhinged enough to believe you're special, the fondest desire of both politically-motivated and religiously-motivated power-seekers! Not, however, by those dedicated to true liberation. Deb characterized it as a popular distraction and distortion. She offered that in authentic spirituality you are normalizing yourself rather than gaining power over deluded humans.
The contrast of our little group of gentle, loving souls with the seething masses hoping for a peek at their adored guru driving by in an expensive car or on his way to the bar for more "crazy wisdom" couldn't be greater. I am eternally grateful to Nitya for somehow preserving his humility and resisting the lure of fame. He was always available to the "muddy pigs" he cared for, and never asked us to be anything but what we were in the truest depth of our being. Well, he sometimes suggested we take a bath.
It has been stated that the type of nirvana which characterises a person who has got rid of the stains coming from inertia and passion, and whose spirit by its purity of bright and intelligent qualities (i.e. sattva guna) begins with desire for liberation and a wholehearted aloneness (towards full liberation) is named the impure-pure. By the term mumukshu (one who desires liberation) as stated above, one has to think of a type of person whose passionate and inert tendencies have been abolished, and what remains is the bright and intelligent tendency which alone is characterised by the desire for liberation. Although such a person is still under the sway of some sort of desire, however pure, and because his attainment of nirvana is not yet fully perfect, it would not be wrong to class it under impure nirvana. Though such a person is called impure-pure because of the fact that he has the end of perfection in view, and because his desire is characterized with reference to liberation, it is not wrong to qualify it as also being pure. When subjected to such a close examination, there is seen to be present the impurity coming from desire and the purity consisting of the pure tendency referring to emancipation as the goal. As these two traits abide together, the combined epithet of impure-pure has been applied to this type of nirvana.
When a person through his long habit of contemplation, or by the practice of Yoga, becomes qualified for nirvana, the secondary signs or symptoms of the state into which he has entered are developed in him through psychic powers, such as knowledge about past and future events or happenings. These symptoms come by themselves and indicate the degree of success of the spiritual progress of the aspirant. Patanjali says in the Yoga-Sutras (III. 38):
These (psychic attainments) are obstacles to samàdhi.
Psychic attainments (cause) excitement.
And Vàlmiki in the Yoga-Vàsishtha also cautions:
Again drugs and incantations can produce psychic powers none of them favourable to the attainment of the supreme state of the Self. Is it not when the love of desires and gains have been cancelled that the great gain of the Self takes place? How can it come to a person whose mind is immersed in desire for psychic powers?
There are also many other texts discountenancing the importance of such psychic powers. Therefore, we have to understand that these powers are not commendable because they have been vitiated by passionate and inert attitudes. They are capable of making one who has attained to a high state of nirvana fall from such a state, after making him swerve from the path of salvation. Therefore, the nirvana of the man who desires psychic powers has been classified as impure among the impure. In other words, because the psychic powers as well as the desire for them are both impure, the nirvana qualified by such powers or desires has been called doubly impure. There is no harm in naming this kind of nirvana as extremely impure.
From ISOA, the chapter on Contemplation (Bhakti):
If the ethics of the Christian world grew out of the prototype of the city-state, and that of Islam as against the tribal worship of the cow, we can also generalize here and say that absolutist ethics arose in the ancient forest schools where the sages taught the secret philosophy of the Upanishads to chosen pupils. The teaching was meant for those wishing to go beyond mere ritualism and who were ready to undertake the study of this higher wisdom in the context of Self-knowledge. They had to sit by the teacher and listen to this esoteric secret or non-public teaching first, before closed Vedism opened out dynamically into the open Vedantic way. (323)
Clever Nataraja Guru has unearthed where the terms used by Narayana Guru come from in this darsana. Obviously, Narayana Guru did his homework too! The section on bhumikas in the Yoga Vasishta is then described in the Varaha Upanishad (one of the minor ones) in these terms. In the new edition this section will appear in the second volume, pages 458-460. I'm not able to fix all the diacritics, if you need them get in touch or check your own edition. Italics for the Sanskrit words has also been lost, but it shouldn't present a problem:
(i) THE SEVEN BHUMIKAS OF THE YOGA-VASISHTHA
The word bhumikà means contemplative grades in reality. According to the Yoga-vàsishtha the first bhumikà is described as different from that of a person who has not desired liberation at all. The latter is not included among the list of people who have attained any contemplation worthy of being included in the list. His state has been compared to that of a tortoise who, having burrowed a hole for itself in a sand dune within reach of the advancing and receding waves, is ever caught in alternative states of being disturbed by the waves and does not escape the disturbance. The man of good aspirations and intentions by his gentle contemplative ways qualifies himself for the bhumikà. The seven bhumikàs are as follows:
1. Arya, a man of pure ways (literally, noble).
2. Vicàra (questioning), one who is interested in learning from noble men all about wisdom. Such a type also avoids getting involved in egotistic and passionate events.
3. Asamsanga (solitary), a man who stays in the company of yogis and recluses, who himself cultivates meditative detachment and thus leads a contemplative life continuing his researches into the nature of the Absolute.
4. Svapna (dreaming) is different from the waking state because the world is now treated on a par with the dream-world attained by the person in this state. This bhumikà is normally attained by men who are reborn after the first three relativistic bhumikàs have been crossed in a previous life, after an intermediate period of life in a world of heavenly values where usual enjoyments are also found.
5. Sushuptapàdam (sleep-based). In this state the man becomes identified with true and pure existence. The visible world does not affect him, nor does any sense of duality. Even if he is active he resembles a somnambulist.
6. Turiya (the fourth). In this state opposites such as having form and not having form (rupa—arupa) are cancelled out. Mental activities cease and the person remains like a lamp in a picture. He resembles two pots, one above water and the other below the water.
7. Videhamukta-avasthà (state of incorporeal freedom). This is the ultimate state of all phenomenal becoming. It is not attained by thought or word. Various names have been given to this state, such as that of Siva, Brahmà, Vishnu, Time, Existent Object, Nothingness, etc.
By way of comparison with these seven bhumikàs of the Yoga-vàsishtha, we now quote the seven bhumikàs outlined in the Varàha Upanishad (IV):
In the seven bhumikàs (or stages of development of wisdom) there are four kinds of jivanmuktas. Of these the first stage is subhecchà (good desire); the second is vicàrana (inquiry); and the third is tanumànasi (or pertaining to the thinned mind); the fourth is satvàpatti (the attainment of the pure); the fifth is asamsakti (non- attachment); the sixth is the padàrthabhàvanà (knowing things in themselves) and the seventh is the turiya (the fourth or final stage).17
The Varàha Upanishad continues describing the various kinds of spiritual aspirants:
One who functions in the (first) three bhumikàs is called mumukshu; one who functions in the fourth bhumikà is called a brahmavit; one who functions in the fifth bhumikà is called a brahmavidvara; one who functions in the sixth bhumikà is called a brahma-vidvarãya; and one in the seventh bhumikà is called a brahmavidvarishtha.
We can see how Narayana Guru apparently has adhered to the structure found in the Varàha Upanishad, with slight touching up here and there. There is a difference though between his own definitions and those found in the Yoga-vàsishtha. Narayana Guru does not put turiya outside the scope of jivanmukti. Between the third and fourth bhumikàs there is no intervention of heaven, but a normalized two- sided status is given to the man of nirvàna. Finally, the possibility of evil in the context of the Absolute is more openly recognized by Narayana Guru.
He later comments:
The normal type of a man of nirvana who combines both action and wisdom is given his full place in the classification, while the general tendency in other classifications is to mention action and inaction as distinct paths. We see this in the classification of the seven bhumikàs, classically understood in the Yoga Upanishads and the Yoga-vàsishtha. The perfect symmetry of the revised and rearranged classifications adopted here becomes clear when we keep in mind the fact that all variations are referable to a central normative type. (471)
Part of my commentary on the Gita VIII.15, relating to siddhis:
15) Having attained to Me, they do not return to this transitory abode of suffering, having reached the highest attainment.
Attaining the Absolute is an accomplishment that irrevocably changes one's life and mental outlook for the better. It's just common sense that once you understand something, you don't forget it the next day and have to start over. It becomes a permanent part of your basic awareness. This is all the more true when the psyche is flooded with the light and wonder of the Absolute. The dark fingers of lurking doubts are dispelled instantly, and the yogi may even laugh out loud with relief. To emerge from a lifetime of anxiety and bafflement to the shining, love-filled openness of the Absolute is an ineffable experience.
The attainments referred to here, for which the Absolute is the ultimate, are called siddhis. Siddhis are graded powers obtained as the fruits of yogic practice. The primary ones from the Gita's time are: the ability to shrink to the size of an atom (anima); expanding in size (mahima); becoming heavy (garima); becoming light (laghima); the ability to penetrate everywhere (prapti); obtaining one's desires (prakamya); dominance (isitva); and the power to subjugate others (vasitva). There are lots of minor ones too. All of them are limited, and like attaining to heaven are temporary high points in a dualistic life, fraught with potentially negative consequences associated with the abuse of power in general. But for those who think in such terms as openly as possible, as with worshippers of other "divinities" in Krishna's parlance, there is a possible culmination at the highest trajectory in the pure Absolute. This is a lasting achievement that transcends all grades and limitations.
Some siddhis will naturally come as a byproduct of a well-directed effort, but realization of the Absolute will not come as a byproduct of intentionally seeking lesser powers. Therefore we should bend our efforts to the supreme siddhi, and not dilute them by directing them to insignificant powers. After all, dilution and delusion are closely related.
Of the eight primary siddhis mentioned above, the last three are the most common in our day. Those adroit at obtaining their desires and dominating and subjugating others are daily vaunted in the media and entertainment programs. Some martial arts adepts practice becoming both heavy and light, and they can be quite immovable or hard to catch if they get good at it. The others strike me as very uncommon. Another siddhi I have heard of is where sexually renounced recluses become irresistibly attractive to the opposite gender, which must strike them as a major impediment, a kind of cosmic joke: you get it only if you truly don't want it.
The only real siddhi I have personally witnessed, expanding space in the vicinity, probably falls under the category of mahima. My guru would hold classes for twenty or thirty of us in spacious rooms, where we would have no consciousness of being crowded. After his passing I revisited a couple of them and they were inexplicably tiny! I thought they must have been remodeled, since we couldn't possibly have fit in them, but they had not. Somehow he brought a vast ambience, more like an extra dimension, into the cramped quarters in which we met with him. He never intended it to happen, it just did. There is a photograph in his autobiography Love and Blessings of at least seventeen of us in his room in Varkala in 1980, with Nitya sitting at a desk and bookshelves behind him. When I took it I was standing in the doorway, far enough back to include almost but not quite everybody. On a subsequent visit I learned the room is roughly 8 by 8 feet, barely big enough for the two cots it now holds. Look at the picture and you cannot square it with its actual size no matter how you strain your brain.
It should be eminently clear by now that Krishna has little respect for those seeking temporal powers. His role as guru is to guide the seeker to the highest realization, both positively as a supreme attraction and negatively by ruling out inferior indulgences. His exhortation doesn't mean that our psychic development shouldn't impact our life; obviously it should, and it invariably does. But that's precisely why not being satisfied with lesser attainments is so critical. The "transitory abode of suffering" is not the whole world, as is often supposed, but the realm of unspiritual interests, where life is filled with anxiety and conflict over delusory pursuits. Since Krishna is presenting some secrets of meditation here, he wants to be assured that his disciple will always aim at the highest possible value, and not be distracted by the tawdry psychic powers that so often attract the gullible and the poorly informed. Jesus summed up the same idea in his query, "What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36)


Fred Grohsmeyer was the director of the Eastern Indiana Center of Earlham College from 1969-1975.
Grohsmeyer was a professor of psychology at Earlham College for 20 years. Before joining the faculty there, he worked for the Institute for Executive Growth and served as a psychological consultant to industries.
A native of Canton, Ohio, Grohsmeyer attended Kent State University before joining the U.S. Air Force during World War II. While a cadet, he attended Hamilton College in New York for courses in meteorology. Grohsmeyer went on to attend DePauw University and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology. He received his master's degree in psychology from Northwestern University and his Ph.D. from Purdue.
In addition to serving Earlham College as a professor, Grohsmeyer was the dean of General Studies before he became the director of the Eastern Indiana Center of Earlham College.
Grohsmeyer, along with Earlham College President Landrum Bolling and community leader Brice Hayes, proposed to the Indiana University Board of Trustees the idea of a regional campus in Richmond. By October 1970, Indiana University took administrative control and started development of the new campus. Grohsmeyer was director when the IU Board of Trustees established IU East as one of seven regional campuses on July 1, 1971.
Alexander F. Schilt was appointed dean of IU East by the IU Board of Trustees in March 1976. Schilt, then a resident of New Albany, Ind., had served as dean of Student Services at IU Southeast since 1970.
The change from director to Dean of the Campus was to more truly reflect the academic and administrative aspects of the responsibilities of the chief officer of IU East. A reorganization of the administration provided a renewed title of chancellor for Schilt, the first for IU East.
A native of Cheyenne, Wyo., Schilt received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wyoming and his Master of Arts in Psychology and Ph.D. in Psychology from Arizona State University. Prior to being named dean of Student Services at IU Southeast, he held a number of positions at Arizona State University including assistant director of financial aid; director of residence and assistant dean of students, and head resident.
While at IU East, Schilt continued teaching and carried the title of professor of education in addition to chancellor.
During Schilt's tenure as chancellor, full-time faculty grew by 30 percent, enrollment increased, he saw the university through accreditation with the North Central Association, and reorganized the administration.
Schilt served on several boards while in Richmond including the Richmond Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Richmond Rotary Club, Leadership Wayne County and the Whitewater Valley Opera Company. Schilt is currently a professor in the College of Education at the University of Houston.
Glenn Goerke was IU East's second chancellor from 1981-1986.
Goerke was born and raised in Lincoln Park, Michigan. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Education and Master of Arts in Administration at Eastern Michigan University. Goerke received his Ph.D. in Adult and Higher Education from Michigan State University.
Before his appointment as chancellor, Goerke was the dean of the Division of University Extension at the University of Rhode Island. He was a finalist in 1978 for position of dean of the School of Continuing Studies at Indiana University.
Goerke also was elected as a member of the Richmond Area Chamber of Commerce in 1982, serving as its president in 1985. He was also a member of the Reid Memorial Hospital Foundation Board of Directors, First National Bank Board of Directors, and he served on an advisory panel for the Indiana Arts Commission.
Prior to 1978, Goerke was vice president for community affairs of Florida International University in Miami, Fla., where he also held positions as the associate vice president for academic affairs, dean of faculties and dean of university services and continuing education.
While IU East's chancellor, Goerke explored the possibility of baccalaureate degrees and received approval from the IU Board of Trustees for baccalaureate admission in1983. The first degree programs designed for the IU East campus were business, behavioral sciences and nursing. In 1986, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education approved four-year programs at IU East.
Charlie Nelms served IU East as its third chancellor from 1987-1994.
He was born in Crawfordsville, Ark. Nelms would receive his Bachelor of Science in Agronomy and Chemistry from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. Later, he attended Indiana University where he received his Master of Science in College Student Personnel and Higher Education Administration and his Ed.D. in Higher Education Administration. He was a Ford Fellow at Columbia University; he received a Lilly Endowment Intern in Higher Education Wall Street Journal Student Achievement Award Rockefeller Student Leadership Award; and he was a recipient of an IU Dons Outstanding Citizen Award.
Prior to being IU East's chancellor, Nelms was the vice president for Student Services at Sinclair Community College in Dayton. He was also the associate dean for Academic Affairs at IU Northwest; ombudsman for Student Affairs at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff; associate dean for Student Development at Earlham College; and he was lecturer and counselor at Lehman College at the City University of New York.
While chancellor, Nelms served the community as a board member for the Richmond Area Chamber of Commerce, Reid Memorial Hospital, Indiana Youth Institute, Wayne County Opportunities Industrialization Center, Leadership Wayne County, Whitewater Community Television (WCTV), Richmond YMCA Endowment Fund, and the Bank One Community Advisory Committee.
During his time at IU East, Nelms was also a professor of education. As chancellor, he saw an increase in enrollment and full-time faculty on staff. IU East's scholarship endowment, budget, and funding grew as well as the campus. Construction of Hayes Hall was completed providing the campus with the library, nursing labs and classroom space. He also saw the establishment of several new programs including Tutorial Services, Moving On, and the IU East Alumni Association. Nelms is now the chancellor at North Carolina Central University.
David Fulton was IU East's fourth chancellor from 1995-2007.
Fulton came to Richmond in 1971 as an instructor in history and political science before he was promoted to assistant professor of history and political science. During his tenure as assistant professor, Fulton took on administrative duties as assistant to Chancellor Alex Shilt for Campus Planning and Academic Development. He was later named director of Planning and Budget by then Chancellor Glenn Goerke. In 1988, he was named vice chancellor for Administrative Affairs and also served as acting chancellor in 1986-1987 and again in 1994-1995, prior to being named chancellor.
Fulton first joined Indiana University in 1966 when he began work toward a Ph.D. in East European History in Bloomington. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in History degree from Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. Immediately after, he traveled overseas to study political science at the University of Manchester in England.

Foreign direct investment in Canada by ultimate investing country, 2014

A new study shows that more than half of foreign direct investment in Canada ultimately comes from the United States, a slightly higher figure than the traditional measure based on the location of the immediate investor. On the other hand, the stock of direct investment in Canada held by investors in Europe is much lower according to this new measure.
In line with international standards, foreign direct investment (FDI) statistics have traditionally been compiled according to immediate investor country (IIC), which is the last country through which the investment transited before entering the domestic economy. While this measure is appropriate for evaluating the direct investment flows and corresponding funds exchanged between countries, it can obscure the ultimate source of FDI when foreign investors channel their investment through companies in countries that are not the same as those of the ultimate investor.
A supplementary measure is to examine FDI on an ultimate investor basis, where the ultimate investor is identified by proceeding up the ownership chain of the immediate investor until an enterprise is reached that is not controlled by another enterprise. The location of the ultimate investor is referred to as the ultimate investing country (UIC).
Presenting FDI estimates on a UIC basis enables the identification of the countries around the world that ultimately control the stock of inward FDI. These data are useful because they represent the location where multinational enterprises often make decisions and also show which countries ultimately bear the risks associated with FDI. Understanding the difference between the location of the ultimate and immediate investor is also important as it provides an indication of the extent to which foreign companies are channeling their investments before they reach the Canadian economy.
A study was initiated by Statistics Canada to determine the feasibility of producing estimates on the stock of inward FDI by UIC for Canada, as a supplement to the already existing FDI data by IIC. Statistics Canada has developed the methodology necessary to produce these estimates by linking together information from its FDI and Activities of foreign majority-owned affiliates in Canada programs. The results of this initiative are presented in this study, which reviews the concepts and development work together with provisional estimates for reference year 2014.
One of the main conclusions of the study is that the United States, which is the dominant direct investor in Canada on an immediate investor basis, further increases its share of overall investment when the data are presented on an ultimate investor basis. Other countries with notable higher direct investment when measured on an ultimate investor basis include the United Kingdom, Brazil, China and Japan. Measuring FDI on a UIC basis also results in a substantial reallocation of direct investment out of countries such as Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Stock of foreign direct investment in Canada by immediate and ultimate investing country, selected countries, 2014
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a component of the international accounts that refers to investment of a resident entity in one country, the direct investor, obtaining a lasting interest in an enterprise resident in another country, the direct investment enterprise. The lasting interest implies the existence of a long-term relationship between the direct investor and the direct investment enterprise and a significant degree of influence by the direct investor on the management of the enterprise.
Statistics on activities of foreign majority-owned affiliates in Canada are an extension of statistics on FDI. They provide additional insight on the effects of FDI in the domestic economy in terms of sales, employment and trade and where the ultimate control resides.
The provisional estimates presented in this study provide an example of some of the data that will be included in the first official release of FDI by ultimate investing country, which is planned for 2018.

A Daughter's Inspiration Earns Molloy's Commmunity Award
Posted 09/19/2019 December 22, 2019
Pete Molloy ('84) and daughter Anna
The Catholic Business Network of Indianapolis has awarded Pete ('84) & Julie Molloy with its Spirit of Community Award for their dedication to community volunteerism inspired by their faith and their daughter, Anna, who passed away in 2008.
The Molloy's have always lived their lives as advocates of "community," but never more so than the last two decades. Giving back and/or paying it forward to those in need have been deeply ingrained in their lives personally, professionally and spiritually.
While their upbringing helped shape them as ambassadors of goodwill, it was the birth, life and death of Anna, who inspired them to do even more. Anna was born with a rare life-threatening condition called Geleophysic Dysplasia that, in her early years, left her more in the hands of medical professionals and the confines of hospital walls than that which should be afforded to any child.
In 1998, Julie decided to take her blessings and pay it forward by volunteering with The Lord's Pantry, a community "sidewalk" ministry on the near west side of Indianapolis that has grown into a multi-service community center under her volunteer leadership. Today, still under her leadership, that sidewalk ministry is now known as The Lord's Pantry at Anna's House and has served the needs of the impoverished community of Stringtown for more than 20 years.
Julie and Anna Molloy
While Pete was also heavily involved in the ministry, in 2004 he decided to accept the incredible gift of Anna's Celebration of Life Foundation (ACOLF). The foundation was formed by his colleagues who wished to do something special for young Anna, a little girl who despite her own challenges was determined to help other children like herself. Through the earliest years of the Foundation, approximately 15 children with special needs received life-enhancing gifts from ACOLF annually. Today, nearly 100 children per year are able to thrive because Pete's determination to fulfill another part of his daughter's legacy.
Julie has given selflessly since 2008 as the volunteer director of The Lord's Pantry at Anna's House, she has also given her time and talents to Perry Township schools as well as St. Jude Catholic School, where she served as PTO President. The self-described wine and travel enthusiast, is also active in her community as a member of St. Jude Catholic Church, and Catholic Business Professionals. Julie has also been recognized for her contribution to the community having received the MSD Wayne Township M.G. Raby Distinguished Service Award 2010-2011, Archdiocese of Indianapolis Spirit of Service Award 2010, the Angels of Grace 'Angel Raphael' Award 2010 presented by Sisters of St. Benedict of Our Lady of Grace Monastery. Most recently, she was recognized as a Launching New Dimensions of Service Family Strengthening honoree by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Alpha Mu Omega Chapter.
Pete is the co-founder and CEO of Jobsite Supply, Inc, a construction supplies company focused on providing innovative solutions to the construction industry. Pete has helped ensure that his commitment to community continues through Jobsite Supply's generous support of countless causes around central Indiana and beyond. It didn't take long for his industry colleagues and friends to recognize his compassion, having received a Community Service Award by the Ready Mix Association in 2014 and most recently, the Mike Vogel Humanitarian Award by the North Central Soccer Club in 2018.
It's no surprise that this spirit of giving back has also continued in their son, Peter, who was greatly influenced and inspired by his younger sister. Today, Peter works in the field of mental health and addiction treatment in California with plans to return to Indianapolis this year.
Anna gave her entire family a renewed understanding of what it means to get up every day and appreciate life day by day. She too reminded them that God is the only one who controls what happens and our future, not us. Lastly, she taught them to live each day with respect for others, helping those in need and to watch out for each other.
Catholic Business Network is an association of businesses and professionals working together for the mutual benefit of its members and devoted to the support and development of Catholic education in our region. CBN members strive to be an example of high ethics, integrity, and honesty to the community through their business practices.


It's more our fault than his. We're not patient enough. We don't have enough blind faith in the fruitless 7.3-year-and-counting Process. We ought to be ASHAMED.
I'm a happy person, generally. My momma taught me to find silver linings everywhere, and give people the benefit of the doubt. Someone cut me off in traffic? Maybe there's a woman in labor in the backseat. Hit a crappy tee shot?* Well, what an opportunity to work on shooting out of the rough. I'm in the line at the grocery store with the world's slowest checker? Ahhh, an opportunity to grow in patience.
*though I was on the varsity team all four years of high school, I was a crappy golfer. This 'silver lining' skill came in handy.
And in general, I keep the Royals' woes in perspective. They've been horrible my whole life and then some, but even at their worst, there are much bigger problems in the world at large, and even in my own life. So, whatever. Let's go drink a Royal 'Rita at The K and hope for a win. If they lose, whatever, we've seen this before but the world won't end.
But I dunno. Something is different about this round, somehow. It's more infuriating even though, in a lot of ways, it's the same old Royals. We're watching a manager stick a guy with a career .311 OBP in the leadoff spot because grit and hustle are apparently more important out of the #1 slot than avoiding outs. The same manager finds a way to blame us, the fans, the ones who pay money to watch his baffling lineups fail to score any runs ever, for the team's continued failures.
This is the same old Royals. We were led to believe that somehow, this time would be different, and it's not different. So sorry, James Shields, your wonderful starts are being wasted by the roster around you, an offense who likes to run into outs all over the damn diamond because again, grit and heart are more important than logic or conserving precious outs.
I'd like to say that I had some magical gut feeling after the first inning when I started tweeting incredibly grumpy things this afternoon. But it doesn't take special prescience to know that when the Royals see 7 whole pitches from Billy Freaking Buckner in the first inning, it's just another Royals game in a decades-long string of the same old crap.
Great article Minda but…. you forgot my personal favorite the "Believe" Royals.
Which reminds me somehow, I saw a guy in Walmart yesterday wearing a Jeremy Affeldt Royals T-Shirt. The wave of emotions that hit me, it was beautiful and scary.
The on-field product isn't the only infuriating about the Royals' organization. Ordering a single-game ticket over the phone is something you shouldn't try unless you love frustration.
I do have to disagree about Hud, though. He may say some stupid things sometimes, but he's having FUN and trying to make sure that you as a viewer do, too. That's the point of baseball, right?

Dad lets sex robot spend time with his kids
You won't believe what his wife has to say about it. - by Gee Mars
A UK man has revealed his 'family friendly' sex robot on live TV, admitting he lets it sit around the house even while his kids are home.
Arran Lee White appeared on the UK show This Morning with 'Samantha', his sex robot.
'A sex robot is not to replace people and we're not trying to replace women. It's used as a supplement to help people,' Arran said on the show.

'We're working on ways of linking her to a higher power source, then she can be warm', says Arran Lee Wright, co-creator of Samantha the sex robot #thismorning
Sex robots have become hugely popular over the last several years, with technology allowing them to become incredibly lifelike.
When asked where he keeps 'Samantha', Arran told hosts he simply activates 'family mode' and stores her in the living room.
This allows him to have her around his children, who are five and three-years-old.
Arran continued, 'My children, they say, 'Where's Samantha?' So she can be at home and you ask her, 'Tell me something about animals' and she will.'
Arran Lee White says they're definitely hygienic... But we're not sure you'd want to put Samantha in the dishwasher!
When asked what he is going to do once his children are old enough to realize Samantha's true purpose, Arran simply responded, 'The world is changing'.
What is perhaps even more strange is that Arran's wife was in the studio.
'I'm not offended to have her around or worried she might replace me. Not at all. She's just someone there like a family member,' she said.
'I'm not worried because I'm not replaceable. It has enhanced our relationship. We have fun with her. I'm not worried about someone else for Aarran to have an affair. It's fun to have her around.'
It's not surprising that Twitter had a few thoughts on the matter.

Between trying to identify notes of pencil shavings, boot leather, and sour cream; attempting to pronounce the names of impossible French chateaus; and understanding what the hell terroir means, the wonderful world of wine can be an intimidating place for those just starting to dip their toes into the water.
Even if you're a seasoned drinker, the recent onslaught of new wineries plus improvement in international distribution means stopping by the wine store to grab a bottle can be an overwhelming and time-consuming affair. That's why joining a wine club—a.k.a. a subscription service that sends you quality bottles on the regular—is often a wise move for curious newcomers and more advanced wine lovers alike.
The wine world runneth over with options, many of which are much more affordable than you might think. So which to choose? We sipped our way through the lot to bring you nine different wine clubs that offer you the best booze for your buck. Because nothing cheers you up after a long day quite like a box of tasty vino waiting on your doorstep.
Originally called Club W, this popular pick gives you four individually priced, self-selected bottles per month, with shipping free of charge. They source their bounty by joining forces with vineyards and winemakers to create a huge selection of limited-release wines.
On any given day, members can choose from a wide range of bottles that run the gamut from zesty Cali refreshers to food-friendly French numbers and big bad Chilean Cabs, all for bargain prices. Not sure where to go? Take the quick six-question "Palate Profile" quiz and Winc will generate a box for you based on your personal tastes. P.S. Greatist readers get $20 off their first order.
This unique, streamlined model focuses on off-the-beaten-path, small-batch varietals that you'll most likely never encounter at your local liquor store. The West Coast-dominant portfolio stocks both classics and up-and-comers with plenty of natural and biodynamic options.
Membership is also fairly flexible. Sign up for red-only or mixed lots of either three or six bottles delivered monthly, every other month, or quarterly. You can also skip or cancel your membership at any time.
The coolest part, though, isn't the masterful curation but the fact that these guys also man a swank, appointment-only tasting room in Chicago's restaurant-centric West Loop where trained wine consultants lead prospective members in private tastings to figure out which package works best for them. If you can make it in, trust us—the handsome, rustic-chic decor and catered hors d'oeuvres make those hard-to-find gems that much more appealing.
Here's the thing: No matter how much you love your wine, there will always be times when finishing an entire bottle before it goes sour just isn't in the cards. That's why the geniuses behind this innovative company treat members to pint-size, by-the-glass variety packs instead of full bottles, making it one of the most fun options out there. Depending on the plan, either three or six samples arrive monthly, packaged in neat little 10-centiliter test tubes filled in a patented closed-nitrogen environment to ensure freshness and ward off oxidation during the rebottling process.
Each box contains a personalized assortment of European reds, whites, and rosés based on your flavor preferences and drawn from a small producer-focused list orchestrated by renowned sommelier Tyler Kennedy. Month-to-month, three-month, and 12-month terms are available and if you absolutely must get your hands on another glass (or two or three) of your favorite blend, just log into your account to cop a whole bottle.
Wine pro Etty Lewensztain backs this adventurous monthly subscription where boozy thrill-seekers prepay for three, six, or 12 monthly dips into some of the world's most exciting selections. The emphasis here is on an international array of natural, organic, and biodynamic wineries as well as lesser-known grapes from Central Europe, Italy, and Spain.
It's a bit pricier than some other models but, considering the scope and quality of the list, it's well worth the extra bucks (plus, Lewensztain offers a 100-percent money-back guarantee if a bottle isn't to your liking).
Curated all-red, all-white, or mixed packages come in in four- or 12-bottle sets along with handy tasting notes, food pairing guides, and even recipes for the at-home gourmand, so you'll want to start planning that five-course dinner party now.
If you couldn't tell by the name, this modern iteration is geared specifically toward wooing us picky millennials. Hand-selected by a professional tasting panel accompanied by guest experts, this club's stock is fueled not only by flavor and aroma but also by the stories behind the label.
Bottles representing lesser-known regions and grape varieties rub elbows with offbeat charmers like a canned Californian Sangiovese or the limited-edition Lekker Rosé, a tropical fruit-laden collab between Wine Awesomeness and a prominent South African winemaker.
And here's the real kicker: The monthly three- or six-bottle shipments revolve around a particular, sometimes quirky, theme ("Summer Vibes," "Grilled Cheese," "Taco Night") and include a copy of the company's self-published mini-magazine, theblacklabel, loaded with backstories, tasting notes, food pairings, recipes, and recommended playlists for heightened imbibing. Awesome, indeed.
This club stands out from the pack not only because it works one-on-one with highly regarded wineries to bring customers a steady stream of award-winning bottles at a hefty discount, but also because its model relies entirely on member feedback.
If you've ever had the pleasure of partaking in a Blue Apron meal delivery kit, you pretty much know the drill here. BA puts a bit of a different spin on wine clubbing, though, by sending you tidy packages of private label vintages in five 500-milliliter bottle stints.
In case math's not your strong suit, that works out to about two-thirds the size of a standard bottle. The cool thing about these baby bottles is that they make each order super versatile, especially since you can pick and choose from monthly curated lists.
Pair each with a different meal each week using the nifty printouts or taste your way through a variety of different wines in one fell swoop. It's a bargain in its own right at $10 a bottle plus shipping but will be particularly enticing to folks already living the Blue Apron lifestyle, as the offerings are designed to complement the brand's weekly food menus.
Launched in 1972, this is the granddaddy of all wine clubs, and there's a reason it's still kicking. Membership levels range from as low as $24.96 plus shipping for two tried-and-true classics (all-red, all-white, or mixed) ordered on a monthly, bi-monthly, or tri-monthly basis all the way up to the "Case Club," which gets you a quarterly lot of 12 mixed bottles and runs from about $150 to $250, depending on the package grade.
There are also tons of specialty options, including rosé-only subscriptions, a delicious Bordeaux series, and a high-end Pinot collection. For an added personal touch, second-generation owner Paul Kalemkiarian—his father basically invented this whole wine club concept—selects all the wine himself and offers something for every palate.
Developed by two MIT grads, this subscription service keeps things simple: Visit the site, take the quiz, and they'll set you up with four bottles tailored to your taste buds each month for a square $60 plus shipping.
The difference lies in the selection process, which is based on a unique algorithm that evaluates 18 different attributes within in each wine to perfectly sync your package to your preferences.
Bottles are sourced from all over the world with the intention of introducing the drinker (i.e., you) to something new and exciting like a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc or a spicy Syrah from Puglia, Italy. And if for some strange reason you don't like what you get, they'll replace it for free.

La McLaren M29 fu una vettura di Formula 1 progettata da Gordon Coppuck in monoscocca d'alluminio e spinta dal tradizionale propulsore Ford Cosworth DFV. La M29 venne utilizzata nel corso della seconda parte della stagione 1979 e nella stagione seguente. Era gommata dalla Goodyear.

La vettura fece il suo  debutto in gara nel Gran Premio di Gran Bretagna, nona gara stagionale, per sostituire la deludente M28. Guidata dal solo John Watson, ottenne un buon settimo posto in griglia e un quarto in gara. Nella parte restante della stagione ottenne altri tre piazzamenti nei punti (un quinto e due sesti) sempre col pilota nordirlandese.

Nella stagione 1980 conquistò due quarti posti (sempre con Watson), un quinto (con Alain Prost) e due sesti (sempre con Prost). Non si qualificò in due occasioni (una con Watson e una con Stephen South). Nella parte terminale della stagione fu sostituita dalla McLaren M30. Nella stagione 1981 Watson giunse quinto nel controverso Gran Premio del Sud Africa, boicottato dalle scuderie legate alla FISA e poi dichiarato non valido per il mondiale.

M29F
Nel 1981 la scuderia britannica decise di riutilizzare, per alcune gare, la M29 nella versione denominata F. Venne guidata per 5 gran premi, ottenendo un punto con Andrea De Cesaris nel Gran Premio di Imola. In questa stagione la vettura fu gommata Michelin.

British Formula One Championship
Una McLaren M29 venne utilizzata nel campionato britannico di Formula 1 del 1982, dal pilota australiano Arnold Glass, che ottenne un secondo posto (nel Caribbean Airways Trophy 1)  e un terzo (nel Rivet Supply Trophy).

If your pet has chronic soft tissue pain or suffers from anxiety or other emotional problems, then alternative pet therapy, such as massage, may help them feel better. Massage therapy has been known to have mental and physical health benefits for humans, and it can help your pet, as well. Both dogs and cats can benefit from a massage session. Here are some of the ways massage therapy can help make your dog or cat feel better.
What is Pet Massage Therapy?
While some types of massage look like petting, the process is actually more involved. Pet massage therapy works in the same way that human massage does. It is a specialized type of therapeutic touching that involves pressure and muscle manipulation in specific areas. It's often used to help with specific health reasons, but it has significant emotional benefits, as well. Most of the time, professional pet massage sessions are done in short time blocks with breaks in between.
How Do Pets React to Massage Therapy?
Most pets seem to enjoy massage therapy, and they often readily submit and relax to its touching and movements. However, for some pets, especially anxious ones, it may be unsettling for them at first. Pets that are not used to being touched or who are cautious around strangers may need to be introduced to this therapy more slowly. Most therapists and owners say it's very rare that a pet really doesn't like massage, and those who are often apprehensive at first eventually enjoy the therapy once their anxieties are eliminated.
What are the Benefits of Pet Massage Therapy?
Like human massage, pet massage can help with blood and lymph flow, as well as help sore muscles. If your pet is recovering from an injury, massage may help with reducing the formation of scar tissue, which could hamper your pet's recovery. Massage therapy also benefits your pet's emotional health, as it often causes the release of hormones and neurotransmitters that make your pet feel more at peace and relaxed. It is also helpful if done before and after your pet goes through a stressful situation, such as being confined for a long period or after a long period of travel.
Pet massage therapy is a type of alternative therapy that most pets thoroughly enjoy. Regular massage therapy not only helps soft tissues to heal, but it can also benefit your pet's overall health. Though you can massage your pet at home yourself, it's best to consult a licensed professional. They can pinpoint the most beneficial areas to massage and reduce the risk of injury.

Leonard's is a '70s-inspired log cabin and bar, complete with lounge room and pool table, by the team from The Sweetwater Inn. The place is kitted out with log stools, a double-sided stone fireplace, timber-panelled walls and a picket fence outside. There's a license and DJs until 3am on the weekends. Otherwise, the soundtrack will probably be grunge or rock.
There's no formal dining area, no bookings, no table service. Instead it's straight-up burger boxes, plastic baskets, bulk serviettes and the occasional fork. Choose from burgers (including vegan and vegetarian iterations); fried chicken; loaded fries; and three types of nachos. If you're into this kind of food, take note that Leonard's is one of the best at it in Melbourne.
The beer taps keeps the house-party theme going, pouring Leonard's "Bathtub" lager, Brooklyn lager and Young Henrys Newtowner lager – easy-drinkers that you can have a few of without too much thought. There's also fruity cocktail jugs and a small wine list that balances classic, accessible picks with skin-contact whites and other weirdness.
