The Importance Of Right Concentration

The Importance Of Right Concentration:
You may be a brilliant student full of knowledge but if during an important exam that you are anxious to do well, you panic (distracted, poor concentration), become confused and fail to recall many things you knew, you may not do well but even fail.

You may be very good (eg do not kill, steal, tell lies, speak harshly), very discerning (know smiling and stretching syllables are harmful, stressful not good) and very selfless (not concerned with what you shall wear or eat) but if you do not have right concentration, you can be provoked by others around to join in to smile, laugh and stretch your syllables and even if you refused, you will have to constantly apply force in a fabricated, stressful way to act not be independent, act solemn.

Most people if they have the time or the inclination to observe their minds, may find it is never passively or effortlessly calm and concentrated but it is often tensed, restless, stressed, filled with emotions (jealousy, anger, dislike, craving, desire) and only occasionally, when occasions demand (eg to impress others how in control they are of their faculties) they can force themselves to stay still or as if listening attentively during a speech and even then their attention is wandering, they are daydreaming during the speech. When they have a exam, they can usually force themselves to be forcefully concentrated to excel in the task at hand.

Concentration is of two types.

Forceful fabricated concentration that is stressful to maintain and can be disrupted aimed at material pursuits eg passing exams or excelling in sports and passive effortless noble concentration (or imperturbability or independence of mind) that arises in meditation as the inevitable result of a mind truly (not make believe) rid of all defilements (emotions eg fear, anger, like, dislike; getting rid of ill will, covetousness, sloth and torpor, restlessness and worries and doubt). Like a glass of turbid water that is permitted to stand gradually clears, passive noble concentration arises in a mind that is allowed to clear instead of being roiled by emotions and concerns regarding the world. Passive noble concentration is much deeper and unknown to ordinary people (even most mystics because it requires concomitant virtue, discernment and selflessness), comprises the four absorptions (noble rapture with discursive thoughts, noble rapture without thinking, equanimity, attentive and finally pure equanimity, neither pain nor pleasure. Passive noble concentration that is nurtured in meditation is carried over to daily life so that, as the Buddha said, whatever he does, sitting, standing, lying down, conversing, doing things, he does them all with ease.
When I was meditating recently I was aware of the intrusion of the creaking ceiling fan and no matter how I tried to shake off the irritating intrusion it would not but very soon, as my state of mind settled down, the irritation completely disappeared even though I was still aware of its creaking rotation. It appears it is possible to elevate one’s mental state both in meditation and in daily life so that one may interact with others without being annoyed or stressed by their harshness. Nowadays I can conduct conversations with testy people who pester me without being drawn in.

Why The Buddha Is No Fake:
For the discerning, there is much evidence that suggest the Buddha is not a fake, where many gurus that ordinary people instead foolishly chose to believe clearly are. There is an important caveat. It is only the Pali Canon that faithfully conveys what the Buddha taught. The rest of Buddhism is seriously corrupted.

For instance, he said the determinants of a person’s being are his virtue, discernment, concentration and selflessness. Can an ordinary person or a fake come up with such a perspicacious statement that is encompassing? Is there anything that the Buddha left out you can think of?

Just because you are very good (do not kill, do not harm, do not steal, do not tell lies, do not indulge in harsh speech) does not mean you are very discerning or concentrated or selfless. There are many people who call themselves good but reflecting their lack of discernment cannot see into the true nature of smiling or stretching syllables. Many are even unaware they stretch their syllables not occasionally but all the time and they still smile. If you are truly discerning, you will realize that smiling and stretching syllables are fabrications or fakes, stresses not benefit yourself and the recipient. It is because they are not discerning and cannot see the link between smiling and stretching syllables t their stress, restlessness and mad impulses that they continue to do so. Just because you are very good, very discerning (you know smiling is lying and stressful) does not mean you are very concentration (calm and clearly thinking) to be able to effortlessly withstand provocations by others to smile and stretch syllables. Just because you are good, discerning, concentrated does not mean you are selfless, not conceited or attached to your self.

Hence virtue, discernment, concentration and selflessness very different entities but they are all important in determining the fate of a being. Is there anything else you and think of that the Buddha has left out?
The Noble Eightfold Path is more profound than ordinary people detained in defilements are capable of discerning and therefore are able to do justice in appreciating it in its entirety. It is not the Noble Eightfold Path that is ho hum but people are ho hum, heedless and heading for punishment:
Magga-vibhanga Sutta:An Analysis of the Path
The Blessed One said, "I will teach & analyze for you the Noble Eightfold Path."
The Blessed One said, "Now what, monks, is the Noble Eightfold Path? Right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.
"And what, monks, is right view? Knowledge with regard to stress, the origination of stress, the stopping of stress, the way of practice leading to the stopping of stress. (Right view with fermentation is that there is father and mother, this and other world, good and bad)
"And what is right resolve? Being resolved on renunciation, freedom from ill will. (Just because you resolve not to be angry in the future does not mean you will be, but to resolve to be so is an important first step that you must than put in practice with right effort)
"And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, divisive speech, abusive speech, idle chatter (gossip). (Most people are kidding themselves because they are exaggerating and faking all the time, which is why they never derive any benefit from right speech)
"And what, monks, is right action? Abstaining from taking life, stealing, sexual intercourse.
"And what, monks, is right livelihood? A noble disciple, having abandoned dishonest livelihood, keeps his life going with right livelihood.(salesman trying to use his charm to make sales, butchers, selling guns)
"And what, monks, is right effort? (i) There is the case where a monk generates desire, activates persistence, & exerts his intent for the non-arising of evil, unskillful qualities that have not yet arisen. (ii) He generates desire, persistence, for the sake of the abandonment of evil, unskillful qualities that have arisen. (iii) He generates desire, activates persistence, for the arising of skillful qualities that have not yet arisen. (iv) He generates desire, activates persistence for the maintenance, development, & culmination of skillful qualities that have arisen. (A monk must generate desire, persistence and force to prevent evil or unskillful qualities eg lust from arising and eliminating them when they have arisen, he must generate desire, persistence and force to cause skillful qualities eg goodwill, non anger to arise and maintain them)
"And what, monks, is right mindfulness? (i) There is the case where a monk remains focused on the body in & of itself putting away greed & distress. (ii) He remains focused on feelings in & of themselves. (iii) He remains focused on the mind in & of itself -- putting away greed & distress. (iv) He remains focused on mental qualities in & of themselves. (Mindfulness is paying attention. You must pay attention to stress, smiling, stretching syllables in order to eliminate them)
"And what, monks, is right concentration? (i) There is the case where a monk -- quite withdrawn from sensual pleasures, unskillful (mental) qualities -- enters & remains in the first jhana. (noble joy with discursive thinking)(ii) With the stilling of directed thought & evaluation, he enters & remains in the second jhana. (iii) With the fading of rapture, he remains in equanimity, mindful & fully aware, and physically sensitive of pleasure. He enters & remains in the third jhana.' (iv) With the abandoning of pleasure & pain he enters & remains in the fourth jhana: purity of equanimity & mindfulness, neither pleasure nor pain.
Now Versus Then:
If you were discerning and compared the way people spoke and sang (listen to past recordings) previously to how they spoke now, you may detect a difference that reflects the change in consciousness.
Prior to the last few years, ordinary people’s speech may be characterized by being monotonously loud and harsh in a dragging way but today, reflecting the change, the vast majority of people talk (and do things) to a greater or lesser extent in a loud and explosively harsh way.
This explosive speech is characterized by a rapid acceleration in loudness and speed of speech followed by a rapid deceleration of loudness and speed where previously it was the loudness and dragging of syllables that made it harsh.
In the same way, what and the way people do things, react to things today is explosive compared to the harsh, dull, dragging way they did perhaps 5 years ago.
IN A NUTSHELL:
THE CURRENT CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGE THAT INVOLVED EVERYONE IS ESSENTIALLY ABOUT A COMPULSORY MODIFICATION OF ACTING BY EVERYONE (A REDUCTION IN INTENSITY AND SPEED OF ACTING) IN RESPONSE TO PERECEIVED CHANGES IN OTHERS TO REAP A REDUCTION IN BASELINE STRESS LEVELS THAT IS VISIBLE IN EVERYONE’S CHANGED APPEARANCE AND BEHAVIOR BUT REFLECTING THEIR TRUE NATURES THAT THEY ARE NOT AS GOOD AS THEY THINK THEY ARE, NO ONE I CAN HAS EXITED ACTING. THE REASON IS THAT EVEN THOUGH EXITING ACTING IS INCOMPARABLE RELEASE FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, MADNESS AND DEPRESSION, PEOPLE ARE STUBBORN, PROUD, CONTINUING SLAVES OF EMOTIONS AND ILL WILL, THINK THEY ARE GOOD, IT IS DRIVEN OUT OF SELFISHNESS TO ALTER ONE’S ACTING TO REDUCE STRESS AND ANOTHER THING TO QUIT ACTING THAT INVOLVES QUITING PERSECUTION OF OTHERS AND EMBRACING TRUE NOT HYPOCRITICAL GOODWILL.
HAVING CHANGED IS NOT AN INDICATION OF GOODNESS BUT THE TRUE MEASURE OF GOODNESS IS THE AWAKENING TO HOW ONE ACTS AND EXIT ACTING. THERE ARE NO GOOD ACTORS BUT THEY ARE ALL SERIOUSLY TAINTED AND THERE ARE NO BAD NON ACTORS.

The acting today is more directed, purposeful, forceful, immediate even explosive where before it was more enervating, diffuse, ill directed, generalized and wasteful.

What Essentially Surprised Me:
Many people I interacted with over recent years have expressed uncommon pleasure or aversion but I could not see and did not expect everyone to follow suit and change consciously again like I was but I expected some of those who listened to me to understand and therefore exit acting as I have done. Even much earlier, I had detected changes in those who interacted with me but I could not be certain and did not see everyone changing.
Instead, everyone including the most evil has changed probably because the new way of existing must clearly and indisputably be superior in terms of stress reduction but those who interacted with me daily, those who have been told what acting is all about still stubbornly exhibit acting.
That everyone has changed again reflects that despite the change in 1978 they were under significant stress and the recent change is a further redress to stress triggered by observing changes in others they never imagined existed. They fact that they have all not exited acting suggests people are very stubborn, not as good or discerning as they imagine and to exit acting is something far harder to achieve for people even though it offers incomparable release from stress, restlessness, mad/silly/violent thoughts and depression.
Why I Am The Trigger Of The Current Change:
This recent change is not a change in morphology (eg growing horns on their heads or a tail), not a change in perceptions (greater intelligence or supernatural powers) but is essentially a consciousness change in everyone causing change in their appearances, speech and behavior.
Because the change is a change in behavior and acting is universal involving the constant forceful exaggerating or faking of everything and how everyone perceives, thinks, does and speaks, this recent change is essentially a change in how people act, not a change from acting to non-acting. Although everyone has visibly changed, they continue to act but in a changed way.

Unless one postulate there are multiple independent triggers of this change in people’s acting (how and what they act) then I must be the trigger of recent consciousness changes because I was independently changing myself over the years; altering myself behaviorally in ways that went against ALL norms in unprecedented ways through a combination of incremental personal & religious insights, increasingly proficient meditation and behavior change that were aimed at eradicating all acting and thence stress in me.
Because I was changing gradually by myself, I was not influenced by anyone I saw or heard, without other coincident unknown triggers, I have to be the only trigger of recent changes.

The basis of my own independent extraordinary change is my progressive, relentless awakening or insights as to how people act and are falsely nice not good to each other. By putting into practice these insights I progressively exited my (shallow) acting to achieve a revolutionary permanent consciousness change wherein I was effortlessly serene, freed from the previous restlessness, mad/violent thoughts and episodic depression that I never dreamt possible for a person to exist in. Unless there are multiple triggers who independently realized the nature of acting themselves, put a stop to acting themselves and thereby became catalysts for change in others, I am the trigger yet again.

Because the recent changes is entirely out of the norm, unexpected, I doubt anyone (though I had experienced two previous episodes of being totally incapable of suffering, I never dreamt beforehand that existence in current consciousness state today is possible) could have imagined before hand they would exist consciously as they do today, the person who triggers this change must be truly unique or it would be very extraordinary or impossible for many independent unique triggers to arise simultaneously because as Jesus said, the world cannot accept the truth, for it neither sees him or knows him. This recent consciousness change is a about a reduction in suffering that can only ensue from an attenuation (not exit) of sinful acting and it may not be possible for beings from this world and enmeshed in this world to trigger this change.

Because I have definitely changed permanently to effortlessly not act nowadays resulting in freedom from stress, restlessness, mad/violent thoughts and depression that would be unthinkable, incredible if there had not been a consciousness change in me and I changed spontaneously as a result of my own endeavors I must be the trigger unless there are other independent centers of change.

Is there anybody else apart from me who has said: Driven by emotions, stress and restlessness, ordinary people constantly forcefully go against themselves in a controlled manner to exaggerate and fake whatever and how they speak, do, think and perceive in the name of deceiving, impressing, pleasing, dominating and intimidating others creating stress, restlessness, violent/mad violent thoughts and depression?

I did not copy this insight from anyone and my current serene self assured transformation to exit acting is based on that insight. Hence unless it is possible to be the original trigger of this consciousness change in everyone else without attaining insight in oneself of acting and exiting acting or there are unknown others who also came to the same realization, I am the trigger of the current change.

Again that I developed complete insight into the nature of acting where no one else seems to have done and acting being encompassing to embrace what and how ordinary people perceive, think, do or say things, that I have effortlessly exited acting whilst others though they have changed yet again remain detained in acting reflects that there be a vital difference in my nature compared to others.

Living Way Beyond One’s Means:
In theory America has paid for the oil it imports but because it is paid in USD and tends to be reinvested in the US, the money is recycled for Americans to use and if there is a devaluation by the time it is repatriated, foolish oil producers will get much less for their oil. In the same way Asian exporters like Japan & China keep proceeds from exports in USD (treasuries) and when they finally want it back, they may get much less for their exports should the USD plunge.
Oil-rich nations keep profits away from US
US assets not so attractive this time compared to during 1970s oil shock
THE influx of money into the US during the oil shock of the 1970s shows no signs yet of being repeated.
Both the US government and financial institutions benefited from rising oil prices in the 1970s as oil-exporting countries invested their profits in dollar-denominated assets.
Recent purchases of US assets by oil-producing countries are hard to track, but it is likely at least some oil money is going into US bonds.
However, any buying has not been heavy enough to have a noticeable effect on US markets.
Analysts say low US interest rates and a fall in the US dollar relative to the euro have made dollar-denominated investments less popular among oil producing nations.

In What Ways The Consciousness Changes Surprised Me

Anwar’s Release:
I am unreservedly delighted that Anwar is now released (about time), but the fact that Anwar could be released suddenly at the final appeal reflects on the nature of his ‘crime’ and the judgment may not be a matter of objectivity but expedience.
I remember SM Lee, himself (and Singapore) many times victim of Dr M’s barbs, came over (a new water agreement may have been on his mind apart from fear of rising Islamic fundamentalism that is no justification to intervene in other nations’ affairs. If you tried to influence events in Singapore, he would be hopping mad) for a surprise visit at a time when Dr M was shunned internationally, and he said although he felt sorry for Anwar, he felt even more sorry for Dr M because Dr M’s image suffered unwarranted, irreparable harm as a result of perceived brutal treatment of his deputy. SM Lee himself heard from Dr M that he was not responsible for Anwar’s black eye and so trust me, SM Lee that it must be true, it is a perfidious act on his own by his dastardly IGP that Dr M gallantly then tried to shield at great cost to his prestige.
There may be something in common between Bush, SM Lee and John Howard.
If there had been injustices done in this case, then everybody that was involved in its perpetration, including those on the sidelines who supported the wrong side, even if they claimed ignorance, they were misled, have karma that may be far more serious than they ever dreamt in their wildest nightmares because as Jesus said, you will be judged for every careless word you say and therefore think.
(The way and what I write above that is unemotional, hyped, does not incite nor is it frivolous or trying to be funny may be beyond others to emulate, even if they wanted because there are serious emotional or defilement blocks constraining. It may not a difference amongst myriad co equals but a difference between letting my yes be yes and ubiquitous not letting their yes be yes only)
In What Ways The Consciousness Changes Surprised Me:
Preamble: Years before this current extraordinary change in everyone, as manifest in their appearances and behavior, I was already changing. In response to besieging stress, I was already consciously, forcefully instituting behavioral changes in myself that were unconventional and went against the norm in an unique way. For instance whilst others may decline to greet others, they did so either because of animosity (ill will) or they would feel guilty about it. I forcefully willed myself not to please others to greet them but it was not driven by animosity but by an urge to reduce stress in myself and the others (it is never pleasure but stress to respond to greetings) and I expunged (forceful) emotions (not feelings) of guilt in me such that in time I (effortlessly) felt no guilt not greeting, not smiling at others. I sensed the changes in me, my improved sanity and serenity and everywhere I went I detected that people either appreciated (they could sense I was someone a bit different) or despised (because I did not stress myself to kowtow to them). What I did not realize then was that these reactions were not ephemeral or fleeting but because my manner of behavior was in truth revolutionary, not a variation of common patterns, I was compulsorily stirring people positively or negatively in subconscious ways to change culminating in the current consciousness change as manifest in everyone’s appearance and behavior though they still stubbornly, wickedly act.
DID YOU OR COULD YOU IMAGINE 5 YEARS AGO THAT YOU WILL EXIST UNDER TODAY’S CONSCIOUSNESS CONDITION, YOU WILL BE THE (ALTERED) PERSON YOU ARE TODAY?

Even though it is not possible for others to have experienced the same release of their awareness through goodwill as I have because they have not stopped acting, they would all have experienced a certain release of their awareness dependent on how aggressive they still continue to act. Act less, suffer less. If they were to recollect how life was 5 years ago compared to now, they may agree that there are discernible permanent improvements in terms of alleviation of suffering in their consciousness states and behavior that they never dreamt could be possible then.
The mechanism of the change:
Because people did not change by themselves, the only way they could have changed is if they had perceived from the appearance and behavior (including speech) of others who were changing that they realize is unusual, they have never seen or heard before and it evokes without fail, stirs their emotions, jolting them from their pre-existing mental states that they become aware is unacceptably stressful compared to the new way of behavior they are witnessing and thus galvanized, they are ALL seized to use mental force to force themselves to gradually change to adopt the new changing status quo.
A simple powerful motivation for change is the perception that those who have changed are all suffering appreciably less or happier, they too want to imitate as far as their innate natures (evilness or discernment) permit because they do not want to suffer anymore than they have to. For example, if the little girl, a complete stranger, was indeed drawn to my voice speaking in a manner she never heard before to stop silently besides me refusing to move, the experience must have moved her emotionally and stirred forces within her mind to emulate the way I conducted myself. Why should the fast food girl choke when she wished me ‘have a nice day’ after serving me if she did not sensed something touching in the way I did not pester her? This experience might inspire her to emulate me as far as she can remember and render.
Although not everyone was appreciative (even aversive ones may also be affected in an extraordinarily negative way), many times during recent years whilst I was applying force to change, casual acquaintances (patients) whom I spoke to with uncommon candor on subjects people normally do not dwell on, expressed genuine appreciation, they said it was nice talking to me and what I may have done then may be more everlasting than realized, because even though the way and what I spoke then was still acted, it was joyous aggression, not joyless aggression that people are usually accustomed to hearing and it may have served as a catalyst to initiate consciousness change in them.

People may be more percipient and imbibe experiences more than you concede or:

ALTERNATIVELY, REFLECTING THAT WE ARE ALL (ULTIMATELY FALSE) POINTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS DERIVED FROM A SINGULAR UNIVERSAL INFINITUDE OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT THE BUDDHA CALLED ‘SUCH’, THERE MAY BE SIMILAR DORMANT QUANTUM MENTAL PLANES IN EVERYONE IN WHICH HE CAN EXIST SUCH THAT IF ONE BEING MANIFEST VISIBLE CHARACTERISTICS OF A HITHERTO DORMANT PLANE, HE ACTS AS A CATALYST THAT INFALLIBLY SETS IN MOTION LIKE FALLING DOMINOS, CHANGES IN OTHERS AS THEY SEEK TO ACHIEVE A SIMILAR STATE.
As the Buddha said:
Though for a hundred years one should tend the sacrificial fire in the forest, yet if only for a moment one should worship those of perfected minds, that worship is indeed better than a century of sacrifice.
Although ordinary people are disinclined to accord me any due recognition, it may be or is an impossibility before 1977 for anyone to meet a visibly consciously changed person as I was after 1977 and again today, it may be an impossibility to meet a person effortlessly, unemotionally not acting as I am today before the recent change and if only for a moment a person who comes into my presence imbibes what I represent (true truth and true goodness in contrast to pervasive acted or fabricated truth and goodness), then it is better than a century of sacrifice.
Conclusions from the universality of this change:
The fact that everyone, evil or decent, stupid or smart, young or old, all changed quite rapidly to conform to this new consciousness state that they could not have beforehand dreamt possible on seeing others changing is an indication this change is a ‘no-brainer’, it is unequivocally, indisputably beneficial to everyone. It also indicates that all people, no matter how stupid or evil they are, are not as unperceiving as you might think. No matter how stupid or evil, even though they may never discern why or how, they can perceive unusual changes in others and change themselves accordingly.
The fact that even the most evil also changed, they all modified their acting (all acting is evil, false and stressful) to experience a measure of stress relief suggests that they are not total write offs or totally or insanely incorrigible and the fact that those who call themselves good continued to act after this change suggests that they are significantly less good and discerning than they would like themselves and others to believe. The fact that the very stupid can perceive changes and also change suggests they may not be as stupid and they act (not are) to manipulate others (many people force themselves to act stupid as a result of brutal past conditioning and in time they truly believe they are that dumb) whilst the fact that the so called intelligent are still clueless they are stressfully & dishonestly act suggests they are not as smart as they think.
The fact that everyone has changed is a warning that just because you have changed does not mean you are good and not in danger of eternal punishment because not everyone is going to heaven. It may be not so much you have changed but how passively, emotionlessly true and good (tamed) you are that will determine your future destination.
What Have I Done?
If there has again (in truth) been another global consciousness change recently affecting EVERYONE to greater or lesser extent that is reflected in their appearances and behavior and you accept my (objective) contention that I may be the unacknowledged trigger again just as I (definitely) was in 1977, then in my unacknowledged, completely ignored way, I may have done more than any man alive or throughout history to alleviate everyone’s existential suffering (excluding self wrought suffering for which they have only themselves to blame, eg anguish regarding Iraq that must haunt Bush) by altering their previously shackled consciousness states and further elucidating about the nature of acting that afflicts everyone and last but not least, interpreting what Jesus and the Buddha said in a cogent (convincing) way like putting together pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that no man has ever done before. You may go to the ends of the earth today and in the past and never come across another person who speaks about acting and elucidated what the Buddha and Jesus said the way I have.

Nobody (else) except me can say in truth unemotionally, passively that he caused to change the consciousness and behavior of the whole world, not once but twice. The reason why I am completely ignored, a lonely voice in the wilderness may be because nothing happened (I am talking nonsense, seeing things) or this entire world may be more pretentious, more incorrigible than its denizens pretend they are (including those who call themselves good) and what I caused to change benefited everyone that they could not possibly have dreamt in their wildest dreams.

I was surprised:
I was surprised to discover that clearly everybody (good and bad, stupid or smart, young or old) has changed yet again in a way that is perceptible by their appearances and behavior because I thought that whatever changing had already occurred after 1977 and what was left now was for all those who will be good and true to stop acting because it offered an incomparable permanent freedom from stress, restlessness, madness and depression. It now appears that a further beneficial or liberating consciousness change can and did occur in everyone by a similar domino process as after 1977.

Yet, though everyone has again changed extraordinarily, they have all continued to act in the current new format. Nobody seems to want to exit acting with its torments like stress, restlessness, mad, violent thoughts and depression. Why is that?
Why It Is So Difficult To Stop Acting Despite Its Incomparable Benefits:
Why did everyone change, did not or could not refuse to change again today as it was after 1977 but it is difficult if not impossible for them to stop acting, even when not acting offers permanent relief from stress, restlessness, madness and depression?

Stretching syllables is a good proxy for acting that somnolent actors severely underestimate its importance and it is what ordinary people do all the time, even today when not to stretch one’s syllables is possible, effortless (no effort is EVER needed to do nothing, not to stretch one’s syllables is to do nothing) and confers an incomparable release from suffering. Why have ordinary people, despite the changes today, despite being told repeatedly nevertheless still stretch their syllables helplessly? The reason is because stretching syllables and therefore acting is driven by tremendous force of habit that may have already violently warped their minds, if not degraded them, acting is driven by powerful emotions, stress and restlessness and will not go away unless the actor applies right mindfulness (attention) to observe how he speaks and then applies dedicated force to counter that urge to stretch syllables until a day will come when he effortlessly does not stretch his syllables just like he now emotionally, restlessly, full of effort stretches his syllables to be stylish, nice, pretentious or intimidate others.

The optimistic view is that acting being what ordinary people stressfully do all the time and effortlessly serene non acting being the final exit, the current consciousness change represents ‘work in progress’, reflects continuing change that will in due course lead some, perhaps only a few (but never all) with the requisite goodness, discernment, concentration (independence of mind) and selflessness to finally exit acting.

But for the vast majority, the reason why they have changed but not quit acting may be that nobody wants to suffer anymore than he has to get what he wants (wealth, sensual pleasures) but (despite their protests to the contrary) nobody or hardly anybody wants to be truly good to each other either (otherwise they would have stopped acting long ago), they just want to put on an as convincing a show as they can that they are genuine and hope that they will get away with as little suffering as they can. But it is a big mistake and self deception because they are headed for a chopping board of torment.
Put in another way, it may be one thing (having observed changes in others) to rein in or damp down previously indiscriminate, wasteful, frenetic, always turned on acting and being nice to others to now ration or restrict acting and niceness to occasions when it is necessary thereby achieving a significant reduction in stress but quite another thing to work in a dedicated fashion to eliminate one’s acting because it involves giving up one’s dearly held emotions and ill will to continue being dishonest, to still manipulate others, even if it means continued suffering. Acting may be like playing tennis or cycling, once learnt it is never totally forgotten and though for the sake of stress reduction, people may play tennis less often and less intensely as they previously did, but when the moment arises they can pick up a racket and resume playing well. Though they may act at a lower baseline level now, they can rapidly up their acting tempo, especially if they are indifferent, see nothing wrong with acting, cannot see in its entirety the true nature of acting, do not realize they are heading for eternal punishment.

It is one thing (imitation) to observe other people not smiling or smiling less and how they become more serene and similarly follow suit in restricting the intensity and frequency of one’s smiling but a very different thing to have insight that smiling is false, stressful, harms self and others and then make dedicated effort to eliminate it totally and therefore exit acting. Just because you reduce your smiling to mimic others changing to experience less stress does not necessary mean you must know why it is you should stop smiling.

To eliminate smiling and acting, you need discernment, mindfulness, conscience and dedication. To join the current consciousness change, you only need to watch others change and ape the changes (just like people ape Elvis or the Beatles), you only need to be a) perceptive of the changes in acting in others (eg less frequent, less intense smiling), b) imitate or change your act (to experience the reward of less stress from less smiling) and c) be self serving.
Changing one’s consciousness and behavior in response to perceived beneficial changes in others is largely driven by selfishness; to stop acting that will truly benefit oneself and others requires effort and persistence and has to be motivated by conscience and concern for self and other, something that is woefully wanting in this world of pretentious people who actually don’t care very much for others.

Again to change one’s behavior in a revolutionary way that has never before been experienced in response to perceived changes in others is like accepting a godsend or valuable freebie (FOC) but to stop one’s acting demands attention and dedicated work that is too much to ask of ordinary people who are lazy, indifferent, think they are already quite good and do not realize they are headed for the chopping board down the line.
IN A NUTSHELL:
THE CURRENT CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGE THAT INVOLVED EVERYONE IS ESSENTIALLY ABOUT A COMPULSORY MODIFICATION OF ACTING BY EVERYONE (A REDUCTION IN INTENSITY AND TEMPO OF ACTING) IN RESPONSE TO PERECEIVED CHANGES IN OTHERS TO REAP A REDUCTION IN BASELINE STRESS LEVELS THAT IS VISIBLE IN EVERYONE’S CHANGED APPEARANCE AND BEHAVIOR BUT REFLECTING THEIR TRUE NATURES THAT THEY ARE NOT AS GOOD AS THEY THINK THEY ARE, NO ONE I CAN HAS EXITED ACTING. THE REASON IS THAT EVEN THOUGH EXITING ACTING IS INCOMPARABLE RELEASE FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, MADNESS AND DEPRESSION, PEOPLE ARE STUBBORN, PROUD, CONTINUING SLAVES OF EMOTIONS AND ILL WILL, THINK THEY ARE GOOD, IT IS DRIVEN OUT OF SELFISHNESS TO ALTER ONE’S ACTING TO REDUCE STRESS AND ANOTHER THING TO QUIT ACTING THAT INVOLVES QUITING PERSECUTION OF OTHERS AND EMBRACING TRUE NOT HYPOCRITICAL GOODWILL.
HAVING CHANGED IS NOT AN INDICATION OF GOODNESS BUT THE TRUE MEASURE OF GOODNESS IS THE AWAKENING TO HOW ONE ACTS AND EXIT ACTING. THERE ARE NO GOOD ACTORS BUT THEY ARE ALL SERIOUSLY TAINTED AND THERE ARE NO BAD NON ACTORS.

Why I Say I Am The Trigger:
Way before it was obvious that everyone was changing again recently, I had already set myself on a course of change to combat the oppressive stress I experienced by forcefully being myself, by identifying all sources of stress I could trace and eliminating them (eg smiling, stretching syllables, say or doing things to please and impress them). Little did I know in the few years I was assiduously applying myself in stress stewardship allied to regular, increasing meditation and reaping appreciable increased serenity in my life, I would again arrive at a wonderful state of being effortlessly relaxed, free of restlessness, mad or violent thoughts and depression. After forcing myself not to be stressed all these recent years, it suddenly happened that I no longer had to apply force, I effortlessly became serene both alone and even during conversations with provocative people. Then I started to see with increasing certainty that people everywhere too were changing in tandem with revolutionary changes I myself experienced. Further, I noticed that people everywhere were reacting towards my presence in unusual ways that indicate they are not accustomed to my appearance and behavior, indicating that it is novel and this consciousness change recently too is something novel, that people are unlikely to have experienced previously or even dreamt in their wildest dreams could be possible.
I was definitely and clearly the trigger in 1977 of an extraordinary consciousness change that spread to affect everyone and this current change has the hallmarks of the previous one suggesting together with my own changes I put in practice that clearly antedated this change, I am likely to be again the trigger.
As in 1978, I saw people visibly upset or affected when they saw the changed me in recent years, though it never occurred to me that such expressions of being affected reflected that they were being stirred to change themselves too. Like before in 1978 the current change has gone entirely unacknowledged as if everyone is dumb or mute or incurious (surely people are aware of unusual changes in themselves and others). Like before it affects everyone to permanently change them visibly in a beneficial way and like before I started consciously initiating changes in my behavior that is against convention well before changes affecting everyone became evident.

From my own perspective that I can speak irrefutably in an objective way, I have again changed in a revolutionary way in recent years and I have stopped acting where previously I shallowly was.

People everywhere have changed in a revolutionary way that has similarity to my change but they continue to act. Hence, because I have gone further in a similar change, I am foremost in this global change, I made conscious effort by myself (not imitating other) to change much earlier, all pointers that I am also the trigger of current changes.

EVEN THOUGH EVERYBODY APPEARS TO STILL ACT, HOW MANY IF ANY COULD ENVISAGE OR IMAGINE YEARS AGO THAT TODAY HE WILL EXIST WITH A STATE OF MIND AND WAY OF BEHAVIOR THAT HE DOES TODAY? CAN YOU OR DID YOU IMAGINE YOU WILL EXIST IN THIS CURRENT STATE WITHOUT AN EXTRAORDINARY CHANGE HAVING OCCURRED THAT YOU HAD NOT THE SLIGHTEST INKLING THEN? I CERTAINLY NEVER DREAMT MY MENTAL STATE WOULD BE SO WONDERFULLY EFFORTLESSLY SERENE, CLEARLY THINKING AND BLIGHT FREE AS I AM TODAY.

MANKIND IT SEEMS EN MASSE HAS TURNED A BLIND EYE TO, NEVER OR CANNOT ACKNOWLEDGE PUBLICLY THE OCCURENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGES BOTH AFTER 1977 AND TODAY, LET ALONE ANYONE COMING FORWARD TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY, SO HOW COULD ANYONE OF THESE EMBARRASSED OR DUMBFOUNDED PEOPLE BE THE TRIGGER BUT INSTEAD THEY ARE PASSENGERS GOING FOR THE RIDE. IF YOUR DEMEANOR IN PUBLIC DESPITE MANIFESTING UNMISTAKABLE FEATURES YOU HAVE CHANGED EXTRAORDINARILY IS STILL SOMNOLENTLY ACTING OR CARRYING ON AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED, IT IS NOT LIKELY YOU ARE THE TRIGGER BUT YOU ARE A DUMBFOUNDED, WITLESS RECIPIENT OF CHANGE. EVERYWHERE I SEE PEOPLE, THIS IS THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY HAVE ALL CHANGED BUT THEY DO NOT WHY THEY AND EVERYONE HAVE CHANGED FOR THEY ARE STILL BUSY ACTING, NOT BEING THEMSELVES. THAT NOBODY HAS COME FORWARD PUBLICLY TO STAKE CLAIM THEY STARTED THE PRESENT CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGE REFLECTS THAT THEY ARE ALL EMBARRASSED OR AT LOSS WHAT TO MAKE OF CHANGES THEY MUST SURELY SENSE, THEY SEE NO MATERIAL GAIN IN CLAIMING SO (NO NOBEL PRIZE) AND THEY ARE ALL TOO BUSY ABSORBED IN THEIR PETTY LIVES.
BECAUSE THIS CHANGE IS OUT OF THE ORDINARY, UNEXPECTED, CANNOT HAVE OCCURRED IN THE TEMPORAL COURSE OF EVENTS, NOBODY COULD HAVE ENVISAGED BEFOREHAND, IT WOULD TAKE NOT AN ORDINARY BUT AN EXTRAORDINARY PERSON TO TRIGGER THIS EXTRAORDINARY CHANGE.

EVEN YEARS BEFORE THE CURRENT GLOBAL CHANGE WAS VISIBLE, I WAS TAKING CONSCIOUS FORCEFUL PROGRESSIVE STEPS TO CHANGE MYSELF BEHAVIOURALLY IN RESPONSE TO STRESS TO BE TRUE TO MYSELF AND OTHERS IN MY TRANSACTIONS AND THESE CHANGES AFFECTED MY PSYCHE BENEFICIALLY AND REACTIONS AROUND TOLD ME PEOPLE CAN PERCEIVE MY CHANGES. I THOUGHT I MAY INFLUENCE THOSE WITH GOODNESS TO CHANGE, I NEVER ENVISAGED EVERYONE WILL FOLLOW SUIT TO CHANGE YET AGAIN. MY VISIBLY CHANGED WAY OF RELATING TO OTHERS (IT IS VISIBLE BECAUSE I SENSED UNUSUAL EMOTIONAL REACTIONS IN THOSE I MET) MUST HAVE MADE A MORE EVERLASTING IMPACT IN NOT JUST SOME BUT IN EVERYONE, FOR THE WORLD HAS CHANGED YET AGAIN. HENCE EVEN WELL BEFORE CURRENT CHANGES BECAME OBVIOUS, I MAY ALREADY HAVE STARTED THE BALL ROLLING BY BEHAVING IN A MANNER PEOPLE EVERYWHERE NEVER EXPERIENCED. INITIALLY I WAS FORCEFULLY BEING MYSELF BUT WHEN THE FORCE OF GOING AGAINST MYSELF WAS AGAIN EXHAUSTED, I AM NOW EFFORTLESSLY SERENELY BEING MYSELF NOT ACTING, NOT NICE.

Foolishly Dallying With Sadness:
Uninstructed ordinary people experience sadness of all grades in their daily lives that because they are relatively mild, they eventually manage to shrug off, but usually after a prolonged struggle and in a haphazard or uncertain manner.
The reason why this is so is that ordinary people have a masochistic fascination with sadness, they think sadness is quite a harmless or an OK indulgence, if sadness is not too intense it can even be masochistically pleasurable. But sadness is instead like alcohol, every moment you indulge in sadness, you are reinforcing your future capacity to experience sadness or for sadness to seize you and therefore the wise person will learn to spurn sadness as he would spurn Dracula’s embrace.
When ordinary people are overcome by sadness, they prolong it, they stoke sadness with thoughts, music that enhance the sadness, they think over and over thoughts that maintain their sadness until it becomes unbearable and they then aggressively try to extricate themselves eg go to the gym or call a friend for a chat. They do not realize that they have thereby improved their future capacity to experience sadness just as every game improves the tennis player’s prowess.
In contradistinction, the noble person sees sadness as a viper and he does not welcome sadness and as soon s he detects sadness creeping in, he gets rid of it as soon as possible by excusing himself to meditate to calm his mind.
What Kind Of Priest:
I saw on TV the unbecoming sight of a man rushing from the sidelines to accost the leader of an Olympic street race pushing him out of the road and likely depriving him of a gold medal. I read the person was an Irish priest, a rogue priest and he had done the same at another event, a formula one race?
It goes to show there are a lot of very sick people in this world, not least in the religious establishment that I say go right to the top. Many church leaders are in truth tough deluded goats leading others astray. Even if it is sinful forcefully competing to win gold medals, it is malicious and serious karma to accost someone during a race.
You think that the counselor Jesus spoke of will be welcomed with open arms but he may instead be a non viable target of hate and vilification. Just observe the mud slinging in the US election.
