The Difference Between Seeing & Knowing:
Jesus was not engaging in meaningless babble when he said the world cannot receive or welcome the counselor because it neither sees nor knows him.
Seeing is recognizing someone visually as to who he is whilst knowing is having knowledge or information of who someone is either because you have been told or you worked it out logically or have evidence.
You may not know or see that someone is the prime minister’s son but if someone you trust tells you so you then know he is the prime minister’s son but you may still not see him as the prime minister’s son either because you belittle him or you cannot or have not changed your perception that he is just another person but after some time of knowing and seeing him, you may gradually begin to see or recognize him as the son of the pm.
JESUS IS SAYING THAT BECAUSE THE WORLD CANNOT SEE THAT HE IS THE COUNSELOR, DOES NOT KNOW HE IS THE COUNSELOR (BECAUSE NO ONE HAS TOLD THEM DEFINITELY AND THEY CANNOT WORK IT OUT LOGICALLY) IT CANNOT RECEIVE OR WELCOME HIM. THEREFORE HE WILL BE (COMPLETELY) IGNORED BY THE WORLD AND TREATED AS A NONENTITY WHEN HE MAY BE TRULY UNIQUE IN THIS WORLD.
AND WHAT DOES JESUS SAY THAT YOU SHOULD NOTE ABOUT HIM? HE IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH OR REPRESENTS TRUTH IN CONTRADISTINCTION TO THIS WORLD OF PERVASIVE PRETENSE THAT IS SO INTENSE THOSE WHO BELIEVE THEY ARE GOOD DO NOT REALIZE THEY ARE WICKED, WHO IS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE TO COME, HE WILL COUNSEL YOU, TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, GUIDE YOU TO ALL THE TRUTH AND TAKE FROM WHAT IS HIS AND MAKE IT KNOWN TO YOU AND CONVINCE THE WORLD OF SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUDGMENT.
Quote: and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
Comment: Christians even the top of the hierarchy routinely speak of their pride in this and that without realizing that pride is a forceful emotion and sin that drives men to irrationally subject themselves and others to suffering eg hide their hurt at a sarcasm and instead to pile on the agony to smile as if they are not hurt.
Notice God said he was pleased not proud with his Son.
He Dwells With You:
If the counselor is in your mind who is to your advantage to come, teaches you all things, brings you remembrance all that Jesus has said and convinces you of sin, righteousness and judgment and he still needs Jesus to tell you that he dwells in your mind, he must be a very secretive or hard to see or false mental counselor. Whatever is true is plain and needs no effort or imagination, let alone stretching your imagination to see.
Therefore unless you believe Jesus is speaking nonsense or the obvious, that he said the counselor dwells with you indicate the counselor cannot be a mental being.
If the counselor is a physical being who will come and you know he dwells with you, then Jesus need not tell you so.
It is only when the counselor to come is a physical being and people in general do not know he dwells with them that Jesus has to tell you so.
Taken logically, something that correlates completely with what Jesus said in quite a few other instances, the only premise that can be true that makes Jesus’ statement valid is that the counselor is (definitely) a physical being who will come and the vast or entire majority of people are unaware of his presence.
**
It was because Jesus was drawing crowds that alarmed authorities felt threatened enough to plot to get rid of him. In the same way if the counselor was to draw crowds, it will alarm latter day authorities to get rid of him. If the counselor was to appear in person drawing crowds in this modern global day it is a certainty that he will not last long.
It is because the world cannot receive the counselor because they neither see him (recognize by appearance he is the counselor) nor knows him (no one who knows has told them) that Jesus has to presage his arrival. If the world can see or know him and therefore receive him as the counselor or he by himself can convince the world he is the counselor just as he will convince the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, it would not be necessary for Jesus to speak in advance or introduce him to you like masters of ceremonies introduce the next speaker.
The Buddha said that kingship over men is meager compared to heavenly pleasure and no heavenly being in his right mind (and you must have a right mind to be in heaven) will volunteer to come to earth for men to spit at and persecute him, even those who think they are good are goats in sheepskin trying to poison him with their niceness they insist he should accept gratefully.
Therefore the fact that Jesus said that it is to your advantage that he goes, if he does not go the counselor will not come to you indicates the counselor will be a person who will come not a mental entity because no heavenly being in his right mind will come on his own into this mad violent world but he has to be sent and if Jesus remains, there is no need for another being from heaven to come.
Convincing The World: Jesus did not say the counselor will convince the world that he is the counselor or that the world will become convinced he is the counselor.
Baring Concealed Fangs:
I pointed out unemotionally in an Email to a friend that he was prying into my affairs, he often sprinkled his speech with laughter and there was stretching of syllables and constant changes in speed and loudness in his speech and he replied cryptically “peace be with you”.
When I asked exactly what he meant by that, he did not let his yes be yes only but exploded saying:
i have grave doubts about your own hg (high) standing & being judgmental about others.Maybe you should take a hard lood at yourself first.Spending a lot of money on variours objects definitely does not show a sign of detachment.
Being hypercritical & ignoring the views of others does not show any (he is not generous enough to grant me even poor insight) insight, self insight is better.
DOUBT IS A PAINFUL FALSE CONFLICTED EMOTIONAL STATE THAT CAN REACH AGONIZING INTENSITY AND IT IS ALSO AS THE BUDDHA SAID ONE OF THREE LOWER FETTERS TO STATES OF FUTURE WOE SO IT IS WICKED AND A GRAVE SIN AND YOU NEVER CAST DOUBT LET ALONE GRAVE DOUBTS ON YOURSELF OR OTHERS. (It may not be true his doubts are grave but it is to forcefully intimidate me to believe him and therefore he is an actor, not just here but everything in him is acted. Many can see others are actors but they do not realize they are academy award standard actors in their own quiet ways)
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY I AM LOW STANDING AND TO TELL ME NOT TO BE JUDGMENTAL BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY YOU HAVE DOUBT LET ALONE GRAVE DOUBTS ABOUT MY ALLEGED HIGH STANDING AND BEING JUDGMENTAL WHICH IS TANTAMOUNT TO ACCUSING ME PRESUMPTUOUSLY OF HOLDING MYSELF IN HIGH STANDING AND THAT I AM JUDGMENTAL LIKE YOU ARE JUDGING ME.
BECAUSE DOUBT IS A FORCEFUL CONDITIONING STATE, EVERY TIME YOU DOUBT YOURSELF AND OTHERS WHETHER GENUINELY OR IT IS A LIE, YOU ARE CONDITIONING YOURSELF TO DOUBT THAT LEADS EVEN TO MENTAL HELL.
(When Peter said he will never fall away, Jesus did not say he had grave doubts about Peter’s faithfulness but he said, truly I say to you, you will deny me three times before the cock crows. Jesus respected Peter’s belief and merely expressed his own opposite belief. Have I not taken from what is Jesus’ and made it known to you in a way no one has done? Do I not convince you of sin, righteousness and judgment? Has anybody explained as succinctly what the Buddha meant by doubt and uncertainty being one of three lower fetters together with self identity views, faith in rites and precepts to states of future woe?).
OFTEN WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE DEFINITE IN THEIR ACCUSATIONS IT IS TO INTIMIDATE THE LISTENER TO BELIEVE HIS ACCUSATION AND THAT IS MALICIOUS.
YOU MAY BE SMUG IN SUCCEEDING TO CONVINCE YOUR VICTIM THAT YOUR ACCUSATION IS DEFINITELY TRUE BUT NOT ONLY HAVE YOU INCURRED KARMIC DEBT FOR BRAINWASHING OTHERS BUT BECAUSE YOU MUST ALSO FORCE YOURSELF TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU FALSELY SAYS IS DEFINITELY TRUE, YOU ARE CONDITIONING YOUR MIND EACH TIME TO INCREASINGLY BELIEVE DEFINITELY YOUR OWN FALSITY SUCH THAT YOU HAVE A TRULY DEFINITE APPOINTMENT WITH FUTURE UNCONTROLLABLE MAD LOGIC.
JUST AS THE INTEGRITY OF WHAT THE BUDDHA OR JESUS TAUGHT IS INDEPENDENT OF THEIR NATURES ALTHOUGH WHAT THEY SAY REFLECTS THEIR NATURE, IF YOU THINK THEY ARE HYPOCRITES AND YOU CAN PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH BETTER THAN THEM, YOU WILL BE A BETTER MAN AND EXPERIENCE LESS SUFFERING, IN THE SAME WAY THE INTEGRITY OF WHAT I HAVE SAID IS INDEPENDENT OF MY PERSONAL NATURE ALTHOUGH IT REFLECTS MY NATURE AND TO BELIEVE MY LOW STANDING, BEING ATTACHED, HYPOCRITICAL, HYPERCRITICAL AND WITHOUT ANY INSIGHT (HE DOES NOT GRANT ME EVEN POOR INSIGHT) ABROGATES ALL THAT I HAVE SAID BEFORE REFLECTS A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING & BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE. IF YOU HAVE UNDERSTOOD & PRACTICED WHAT I PREACHED NAMELY NOT SMILING, NOT STRETCHING SYLLABLES, NOT CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN IMBUED BY A STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION FREE MENTAL & BODILY CALM CLARITY TO NEVER HAVE SAID WHAT YOU SAID IN THE EMOTIONAL WAY YOU SAID.
EVEN IF ALL THAT YOU ACCUSE ME OF IS TRUE IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS AND YOU ARE MEDDLING OR PRYING INTO MY AFFAIRS THAT IN THIS CASE YOU ARE UNABLE TO RESTRAIN BECAUSE YOU ARE DRIVEN BY EMOTION TO RETALIATE FOR A PERCEIVED ATTACK ON YOUR PERSON BY ME IN WHICH THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL’S BACK MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY JUSTIFIED QUERY AS TO EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEANT BY ‘PEACE BE WITH ME’ IN REPLY TO MY SAYING YOU PRY, LAUGH, STRETCHES SYLLABLES WITH CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS. I NEVER IMAGINED HE HARBORED SUCH GRAVE DOUBTS ABOUT ME ALL THE WHILE AND IF HE DID HARBOR SUCH NEGATIVE SENTIMENTS ABOUT ME, THEN HIS FRIENDLINESS IS FABRICATED OR HYPOCRITICAL. BECAUSE I AM NOT EMOTIONAL, I DO NOT SMILE OR EXPRESS EAGERNESS TO ANYBODY, I AM NOT ‘WARM’ TO ANYBODY I CANNOT BE HYPOCRITICAL TO HIM OR ANYBODY.
DO YOU PAY ME A STIPEND FOR MY DETACHMENT OR INTEGRITY SO THAT YOU FEEL CHEATED IF I AM NOT UP TO (EMOTIONAL) STANDARDS YOU EXPECT OF ME?
THE MANY THINGS I DWELT ON (eg that ‘a saree is anything but a square piece of cloth’ is always a false statement because whatever else a saree may be it is still a square piece of cloth and there are many things a saree cannot be like a cat or a fridge) MAY BE CONSIDERED BY YOU TO BE HYPERCRITICAL BUT THEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MY INTEGRITY OR HIGH STANDING. IF YOU THINK IT IS VALID AND I AM NITPICKING YOU MAY BE COURTING FUTURE MAD LOGIC BECAUSE IT IS TOTALLY FALSE AND NEVER GOOD FOR THE RECIPIENT OR THE SPEAKER WHO OBVIOUSLY BELIEVES IN THE VERACITY OF HIS SWEEPING STATEMENT.
I HAVE SAID THAT CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGES I TRIGGERED AFTER 1977 BENEFITED EVERYONE, I HAVE INTEPRETED IN MANY INSTANCES WHAT JESUS AND THE BUDDHA SAID IN A WAY NEVER BEFORE HEARD, I HAVE SHOWN THAT RESTLESSNESS IS NOT BLAMELESS OR MANDATORY BUT CAN BE ABANDONED AS THE BUDDHA SAID, IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXIT RESTLESSNESS PERMANENTLY, SOMETHING UNHEARD OF, NEVER DREAMT POSSIBLE, BY PRACTICING NON STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, NON CHANGING OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS WHILST SPEAKING. IF WHAT I SAY IS APPLICABLE TO EVERYONE AND TRULY LEADS TO A PERMANENT CESSATION OF RESTLESSNESS, THEN THE COUNSELOR THAT JESUS SPOKE OF MUST ALSO DWELL ON THEM TO BENEFIT YOU AND IF I HAVE DONE SO, I HAVE SUPERSEDED HIM.
DID I EVER SAY I WAS THE COUNSELOR OR THAT YOU SHOULD WORSHIP LET ALONE EMOTIONALLY WORSHIP ME AS THE COUNSELOR? DID I EVER SAY THAT TO BE THE COUNSELOR JESUS DESCRIBED IS HIGH STANDING OR THAT I CRAVE HIGH STANDING? JESUS SAID HE AMONGST YOU WHO WILL BE THE GREATEST WILL BE THE SERVANT TO THE REST, NOT THE HIGHEST STANDING. ALTHOUGH YOU NEVER STATED PRECISELY WHY YOU PERCEIVE ME AS HIGH STANDING, YOU MAY BE FOOLISHLY JUMPING TO UNWARRANTED CONCLUSIONS BASED ON WHAT I SAY AND THEREFORE ATTACKING MY IMAGINED HIGH STANDING LIKE A FOOL ATTACKING HIS OWN SHADOW.
WHAT I SAID IMPLIES I MAY BE AND LOGICALLY AM THE COUNSELOR JESUS SPOKE ABOUT. I DID NOT SAY I AM OR MUST BE. YOU THINK I AM PROMOTING MY HIGH STANDING BUT I MAY BE GLORIFYING JESUS AS NO ONE HAS DONE BEFORE BY POINTING OUT THE TRUTH OF WHAT HE SAID IN THIS AND MANY OTHER INSTANCES THAT YOU CANNOT EMULATE EVEN IF YOU WANTED. LET OTHERS & MYSELF DECIDE WHETHER I AM A FAKE OR NOT, IF YOU EXPRESS OPINION THAT EMOTIONALLY INFLUENCE OTHERS (EG YOU WANT ME TO THINK THAT IT IS LAUGHABLE IF I THINK I AM THE COUNSELOR) UNRIGHTEOUSLY, YOU ARE ASKING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY.
(There is a medical story that a consultant on a ward round stuck a finger into a patient’s bedside urinal and then put a finger into his mouth and remarked how sweet it tasted and invited an inattentive student to emulate him whereupon he recoiled at the taste. What the student failed to notice was that the consultant put a different finger into his mouth)
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO UNEMOTIONALLY, CALM AND CLEARLY THINKING TOTALLY REJECT EVERYTHING THAT I SAY BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO EMOTIONALLY ATTACK MY PERSON AS HYPERCRITICAL BECAUSE THAT IS HURTFUL DERISION, A SIN. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO EMOTIONALLY ATTACK EVEN ONE THING I SAY LET ALONE ATTACK MY PERSON FOR WHAT I SAY.
I DID NOT EVEN ATTACK HIS ALLEGED PRYING, LAUGHING, STRETCHING SYLLABLES, LET ALONE ATTACK HIM, I MERELY POINTED OUT CALMLY WITH CLEAR THINKING THAT I PERCEIVED HE PRIES, LAUGHS WHILST SPEAKING AND STRETCHES HIS SYLLABLES.
SIMILARLY I HAVE NO RIGHT & I WOULD BE FOOLISH TO EXPECT OR INSIST THAT OTHERS ACCEPT WHAT I SAY BECAUSE I MUST THEN BE HURT IF I AM SPURNED.
MY DETACHMENT IS NOT TO IMPRESS YOU OR ANYBODY OR GOD BUT I AM DETACHED BECAUSE I TRULY DO NOT WANT TO SUFFER WHEREAS OTHERS ARE ONLY ACTING OR PRETENDING SO WELL THEY BELIEVE FALSELY THEY DO NOT WANT TO SUFFER, DO NOT WANT TO MAKE OTHERS SUFFER. YOU ARE A FOOL TO MEDDLE OR PRY INTO MY DETACHMENT BY EQUATING MY SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY (THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY TOOK TO HEART AND CAST JUDGMENT YOURSELF) EQUATES DEFINITELY TO ATTACHMENT WHEN IT IS FALSE LOGIC. THEREFORE YOU ARE FOOLISH AND A BUSYBODY OR PRYING TO CONCERN YOURSELF WITH MY DETACHMENT THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
EVEN A SUPPOSEDLY COMMITTED INTELLIGENT CHRISTIAN FAILED TO GRASP WHAT I HAVE SAID NOT ONCE BUT MANY TIMES IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, CANNOT LET HIS YES BE YES ONLY, CANNOT SEE OR KNOW THAT I AM SOMEONE OF SOME UNCOMMON NOBILITY, WHAT MORE THAT THE MASSES WILL? IT MAY BE THAT I AM RUBBISH OR IT MAY BE AS JESUS SAID, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH THAT THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE (WELCOME) BECAUSE IT NEITHER SEES (RECOGNIZE) NOR KNOWS (HAVE BEEN TOLD) HIM.
GODATTA:
No matter what the praise from foolsor the censure from those who know,the censure from those who knowis better than if there were praise from fools.
Those who've abandoned sensuality & anger,whose minds are calmed from becoming & non- becoming,go through the world unattached.For them there is nothing dear or undear.Developing the factors of Awakening, faculties & strengths, attaining the foremost peace,without fermentation, they are entirely Unbound.
Do I criticize the statement above? No, I am in total agreement.
Why should I be upset with him if he turns out to be a hypocrite? If I can practice what he spoke better than him I will be a better man.
Have you heard me criticize God, Jesus or the Buddha? Many have criticized them without realizing they do eg “Act of God” attributed to calamities or why is God so cruel. You may think I am hypercritical when I pick on “peace be with you” but you may be flirting with future madness if you think it is meaningful not just to you but to others. If you have not attained the foremost peace how can you offer peace to others?
If you understood what the Buddha or Jesus said, you will realize this world is far from blameless and you have to be very careful in upholding the views of men.
“Peace Be With You”
(In the light of his uncharitable remarks about me, I was right to question what he meant by ‘peace be with me’ because the cryptic statement can mean opposite things)
If I knew what he meant by “Peace be with you” I would not ask him exactly what he meant. If he thinks it is a crystal clear reply, he may be courting future mad logic to believe it is clear to himself and others when it is an abstract or not let your yes be yes only answer.
A person who lets his yes be yes only replies “I acknowledge your comments”, “I am sorry if I offended you” or “I refute your charges”. “Peace be with you” is like saying ‘American cars don’t cross the pond well’ when you mean American cars are not well received in Europe.
Does he mean “I am sorry I made you angry therefore peace be with you” or “although you accuse me wrongly and I am annoyed I forgive you therefore peace be with you”? If I am in peace do I need you to tell me peace be with me? If I am not in peace, do you think merely what you say will confer peace on me? If it serves no purpose then ‘peace be with me’ is a mere nicety.
If you think your ‘peace be with you’ is emulating Jesus’ “My peace I give to you” you are mistaken because you are aping Jesus. When Jesus was speaking of his true assuaging peace that is unknown in this world but when you speak of peace it is the forceful make believe suppressed restlessness type that is the only kind you know that you think others should share with you. Further what Jesus spoke was live specifically intended for an occasion whilst your ‘peace be with you’ is likely a rote standard therefore insincere rehash that you think is chic or groovy for similar occasions not caring that it creates uncertainty in the recipient as to exactly what you mean.
A person who lets his yes be yes only when asked what he meant by ‘peace be with you’ will merely reply that he meant such and such. Instead by launching a broadside at me he said much more which came from evil:
i have grave doubts (A person who lets his yes be yes merely says he has doubts. The motive is likely to exaggerate or intimidate. Whoever must be grave must suffer gravely and be careful what you wish for because since you like graveness so much you shall have all the graveness your heart desires in the future) about your own hg (high) standing & being judgmental about others.
(High standing is a derivative of emotional pride and never a pleasure it is faked to be but it is always a fabricated deluded stressful state of a foolish mind. I do not value high standing nor do I look down on anybody and you don’t know me and are accusing me falsely to say I adopt a high standing attitude.
A wise person does not sinfully cast doubt on himself or others because doubt is an agitated emotional state or reaction to a situation that is reinforcing & one of three lower fetters to future states of woe according to the Buddha. Not only do you think nothing about harboring grave doubts, you want me to share your grave doubts and become doubt ridden. “I do not think you are high standing” is a wiser less emotional way to speak. You have every right not to think I am high standing but you have no right to cast doubt on my perceived high standing or being judgmental.)Maybe you should take a hard lood (“Hard” is a strong word reflecting a forceful or emotional acting mind; a person who let his yes be yes only says take a look at yourself. Again this is wickedly casting doubt on me) at yourself first.
Spending a lot of money on variours objects definitely does not show a sign of detachment.
(He is likely using ‘definite’ to intimidate me to believe what he says is right. Each time you forcefully say something is definite when it is not, you are reinforcing yourself to falsity that becomes increasingly compelling you do not realize you will succumb to be madly illogical.)
Being hypercritical (if you let your yes be yes you say ‘critical’ but if you are emotional you say ‘hypercritical’ and it is you who suffers because emotion is applying force on your mind causing stress) & ignoring the views of others does not show any (I don’t even possess poor insight in his estimation) insight, self insight is better (if you have self insight you would have realized you laugh when you speak, you constantly stretch your syllables and change speed and loudness when you speak and how these create stress, restlessness and distraction in yourself and others who have to bear the brunt of it).
Spending A Lot Of Money:
You may think I am hypercritical and hypocritical to criticize the pope (because you identify with him or your church) for wearing designer gowns when I own two relatively expensive cars and an old car that I cannot dispose off at a reasonable price but whereas I did not buy my cars for style or prestige (many do), I do not drive around in a flaunting or proud or abusive manner and they provide superior handling and ride that I can appreciate (therefore I am not practicing something irrational or controlled madness, what I do has purpose), the pope’s garments are all for show, does not improve his performance as pope, are in fact likely to be uncomfortable or unwieldy to wear, he may flaunt them and they promote appreciation of appearances (therefore he is practicing what is irrational or courting future madness to believe all those gowns are meaningful and necessary). How do you know that he is not more emotionally attached to the trappings of his office than I am to my cars? A beggar might attack you for taking a penny off him whilst I was hardly upset when I found a long gash in my parked car a year or so ago. Can you react without anger when you find your dear car vandalized?
Many do not realize their perception is selective and they pry without realizing. For instance they take note when I inform them about my three cars but when I speak about stretching syllables, constant changes in speed and loudness they do not take note, it falls on deaf ears that think it does not apply to them. If they have taken note and applied accordingly they would have discovered there are constant not frequent stretching of syllables in their speech and that of everyone around and taken action to stop them.
People who accuse me of being hypercritical do not realize they are more intensely (because they are emotional and I am not) and constantly (because they cannot help themselves reacting whilst I can) critical than me. Whatever impinges on their awareness they helplessly must react or express an opinion that they may keep to themselves like (thrilled) or dislike (disgusted) or ‘ho, ho, ho’. Just because they laugh when they think negatively of others, they think they are tolerant when they are secretly laughing or looking down at others or being hypercritical and hypocritical. Even when they defend the views of others it is actually hypocritical, they force themselves to act as if they appreciate whilst hiding their disagreements so well they believe they truly appreciate or respect others’ opinions. Because they are forceful people they sometimes force themselves to suppress any reaction to events or they smile with force as if they are indifferent and they kid themselves they have not been critical in those instances. They may think they are advocating tolerance or peacemakers but their attitude is ‘I shit, you shit and everybody shits so shut up and let’s shit together’ or ‘see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil’ when there is plenty of evil around to see, hear and speak against. Because my mind is now calm and clearly thinking, risen above the fray, I do not react to many things happening around me, let alone be hypercritical all the time. Whoever is hypercritical will suffer even agony so you do not have put your head on the chopper board to openly accuse me or others of being hypercritical.
Attachment is always a forceful or emotional woeful state of mind whilst detachment can be either forced or acted or passive or effortless or woe free.
Detachment is not something anyone can practice in isolation but as the Buddha said, it is the culmination in the nature of things of a process of awakening whereby mindfulness (eg paying attention to how you speak) leads to analysis of qualities (examination and the discovery of rampant stretching, speed and loudness changes) leads to persistence (as you discover more and more insights that reduces your mental suffering you become motivated or persistent) leads to rapture that is not of the flesh (as you reduce defiling yourself, the suffering load reduces and your body becomes suffused with bliss that is not sensual) leads to passive effortless calm (the swirling in a beaker of water allowed to stand gradually settles or calms down) leads to passive concentration (when a beaker of turbid water is allowed to stand still suspended particles in time settle down and the water becomes concentrated or pure) leads to equanimity or true detachment (neither like or dislike).
Hitting the jackpot:
You never belittle anyone, not even the madman who cries that his dead son is back alive.
If you think I too belittle you, you may be right or you may be again accusing me wrongly, hammering yet another nail into your coffin of future pain.
If the person you foolishly scoff is a person of some nobility then you are in trouble with the Buddha because he said those who scoffed at noble ones are headed for perdition.
Indeed these worthy (you are worthy but if you sin you are punished) beings who were possessed of wrong conduct in body (Jesus said woe to you who laughs for you shall weep), who were possessed of wrong conduct in speech, who were possessed of wrong conduct of thought, scoffers at the ariyans (noble ones), holding a wrong view, incurring deeds consequent on a wrong view -- these, at the breaking up of the body after dying, have arisen in a sorrowful state, a bad bourn, the abyss, Niraya hell. But these worthy beings who were possessed of good conduct in body, who were possessed of good conduct in speech, who were possessed of good conduct in thought, who did not scoff at the ariyans, holding a right view, incurring deeds consequent on a right view -- these, at the breaking up of the body, after dying, have arisen in a good bourn, a heaven world.
You will hit the jackpot if you foolishly scoff at the counselor:
And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
YOU WILL BE BACK HERE AND THE NEXT TIME THERE MAY NOT BE ANY CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGE THAT WAS TRIGGERED BY ME TO MAKE LIFE APPRECIABLY EASIER FOR YOU, YOU WILL BE LEFT TO YOUR OWN DEVICES, TO APPRECIATE ALL THE DISPARATE CONFLICTING INDIGESTIBLE VIEWS YOU SO ADVOCATE OTHERS AND ME TO APPRECIATE.
Repudiating With Reasons Not Ignoring, Hypercritical & No Insight:
Quote: Being hypercritical & ignoring the views of others does not show any insight, self insight is better.
This is a no holds barred attack with strong words ‘hypercritical’ instead of ‘critical’, ‘ignoring’ instead of ‘paying little attention’ and what I say shows NO insight. Few people have no insight and he is flirting with falsity in his haste to persecute and is not generous enough to concede ‘poor insight’.
Jesus said you will be judged for every careless or emotional word you say and if it turns out that most if not everything I say does not ignore the opinions of others but rationally repudiate them, not only is there not NO insight in my critique but it is penetrative, he is asking for big trouble putting down someone is uncommonly penetrative is no insight.
He has a right to unemotionally reject totally all I say but he has no right to tell me off that ‘it does not show any insight’ as if he is an arbiter of what is insight. If it turns he himself has poor insight and he is telling off someone who has exceptional insight he is a great fool.
A possible example of my hypercriticism, ignoring others’ views and showing no insight:
Quote Bush: Many advocating an artificial (timetables can be fixed or flexible but is there a natural timetable?) timetable for withdrawing out troops are sincere, but I believe they are sincerely wrong. Pulling out our troops before they’ve achieved their purpose is not a plan for victory”
Comment: Bush stumbling on his language is not just isolated oddity but it reflects his mind is seriously jumbled or warped and he is mentally tormented not calm and clearly thinking.
He was trying to say that he sincerely believes his critics are wrong but he garbled it to become he believes they are sincerely wrong.
Does anyone need him to tell or remind them that pulling out the troops before they have achieved their purpose (possibly security) is not a plan for victory but failure to achieve their purpose? You might expect a child to say that B is not A, but you might expect a president of a so called mighty country to do better than that.
YOU MAY SAY I AM NITPICKING BUT IT MAY BE YOU WHO IS SO TOLERANT OF SIN TO SEE, HEAR AND SPEAK NO EVIL WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF EVIL TO SEE, HEAR AND SPEAK AGAINST. YOU MAY THINK YOU ARE MERITORIOUSLY NON JUDGMENTAL BUT YOU MAY BE AN ACCOMPLICE TO SIN AND ON THE SIDE OF MEN NOT GOD.
Adding Insult To Injury:
He subsequently suggested that I should provide him with a list of taboo subjects that he should avoid.
He obviously thinks he is being good and may not realize that he is shifting the onus on me to do work that may be fruitless to give him a list and implying I am sensitive and he is not to blame because he does not he know what topics are taboo to me.
It is easy for you to tell others to do this and that, provide me with a list but make sure it is not sending me on a wild goose chase or shifting blame or you are unknowingly piling fresh karma.
No one is a master of his prying but like everything that is forceful or emotional, it grows in strength with practice and even if he is supplied with a list it is likely he will transgress.
A Miser May Be More Attached:
The miser who spends hardly at all may be more attached to his money and miserly possessions than the person who spends.
Only a person who has become a Buddha is completely detached and without desire but if you think the desire of heavenly beings is the same as your emotional possessive constantly unnecessarily changing in speed and forcefulness desire, you may be a fool.
The Buddha says below that a noble person can enjoy his righteously gained wealth:
Adiya Sutta:Benefits to be Obtained(from Wealth)
Then Anathapindika the householder went to the Blessed One. The Blessed One said: "There are these five benefits that can be obtained from wealth.
"There is the case where the noble disciple (someone noble can enjoy his wealth) -- using the wealth earned through his efforts & enterprise, righteous wealth righteously gained -- provides himself with pleasure & satisfaction. He provides his mother & father with pleasure & satisfaction. He provides his children, his wife, his slaves, servants & assistants with pleasure & satisfaction. This is the first benefit.
"Furthermore, the noble disciple -- using the wealth earned -- provides his friends & associates with pleasure & satisfaction. This is the second benefit.
"Furthermore, the noble disciple -- using the wealth earned -- wards off from calamities coming from fire, flood, kings, thieves, or hateful heirs, and keeps himself safe. This is the third.
"Furthermore, the noble disciple -- using the wealth earned -- performs the five oblations: to relatives, guests, the dead, kings & devas. This is the fourth benefit.
"Furthermore, the noble disciple -- using the wealth earned -- institutes offerings of supreme aim, heavenly, resulting in happiness, leading to heaven, given to priests & contemplatives who abstain from intoxication & heedlessness, each taking himself to Unbinding. This is the fifth benefit. (What you give to a Buddha is far more meritorious than that given to a beggar)
(As the Buddha said there is lust also in heaven and heavenly nymphs make human beauties look like monkeys with cauterized faces but if you think that heavenly lust is the same furtive, pretentious, self and other defiling even violent emotional lust with constant forceful changes in speed and force as humans do, you may be deluded. The lust in heaven may be passive, not forceful, not emotional, not defiling or hurting self and other)
No Fellowship With Sin:
Many have this mistaken view that Buddhism and Christianity preaches tolerance for the views of others. Not that you should condemn others but you should not approve with reason the wrong views others hold nor act as if you appreciate them because wrong view is deadly and leads to hell or the animal womb.
For instance whoever you are, I do not approve and maintain that all investment is gambling, greed for unrighteous gain and even if you do not believe it is, you are conditioning yourself to emotional doubt and uncertainty as you frequently anxiously check your investment, hesitate on what decision to make and fear unexpected loss. Whether you will take heed is another thing but I do not approve or encourage you to invest.
Jesus is not speaking of compromise when he spoke below.
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man's foes will be those of his own household. 37* He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
(If I were to say that I have come to set a man against father and he who loves his son more than me is not worthy of me, I would be branded a heretic and no one will read what I write anymore. Why should people acquiesce if Jesus said that and not me? It is not because they perceive the truth of what Jesus said but because they know who Jesus is and his promise of eternal life make them afraid to speak out even when the statement is likely to place them in a quandary. I am a nobody and they do not respect me because I do not have a halo on my head. Appearances are important to humans. The truth of what Jesus said is that this is a world of ubiquitous pretense wherein even intimate family members are killing each other with poisonous niceness they insist is goodness and therefore whoever loves his acted life here, his acted love for family members above his love for Jesus or truth or non suffering non acting is not worthy of him. What Jesus said indicates truth and goodness is a rarity in this world and therefore you have to forsake the rampant falsity of family ties to exit to heaven)
Similarly do not imagine the Buddha is indulgent because he says below he will kill those who are tamable but refuse to subject themselves to taming. There are many who cannot be tamed and there are those who can be tamed but decline to be tamed. You may be one of those and don’t think the Buddha looks on kindly to you. Similarly Jesus said many will prophesy in his name but he will tell them he does not know them because they are evil doers or do not obey what he commands.
Kesi Sutta: To Kesi the Horsetrainer
Then Kesi the horsetrainer went to the Blessed One. The Blessed One said to him: "You, Kesi, are a trained man, a trainer of tamable horses. And how do you train a tamable horse?"
"Lord, I train a tamable horse [sometimes] with mildness, [sometimes] with harshness, [sometimes] with both."
"And if a tamable horse does not submit by the combination, Kesi, what do you do?"
"If a tamable horse does not submit, then I kill it. Why is that? [I think:] 'Don't let this be a disgrace to my lineage of teachers.' But the Blessed One, is the unexcelled trainer of tamable people. How do you train a tamable person?"
"Kesi, I train a tamable person [sometimes] with mildness, [sometimes] with harshness, [sometimes] with both mildness & harshness.
"In using mildness, [I teach:] 'Such is good bodily conduct. Such is its result. Such is good verbal conduct. Such is it’s result. Such is good mental conduct. Such is it’s result. Such are the devas. Such are human beings.'
"In using harshness, [I teach:] 'Such is bodily misconduct. Such is the result. Such is verbal misconduct. Such is the result. Such is mental misconduct. Such is the result. Such is hell,the animal womb, the realm of the hungry shades.'
"If a tamable person does not submit either to mild or harsh training or both, then I kill him, Kesi."
"But it's not proper for our Blessed One to take life! "
"It is true, Kesi. But if a tamable person does not submit to training, then the Tathagata & his fellows in the holy life do not regard him as being worth admonishing. This is what it means to be totally destroyed in the Doctrine & Discipline."
"Yes, lord, one would be totally destroyed if the Tathagata and one's fellows in the holy life do not regard one as being worth admonishing.
Again the Buddha below refused to recite the vow of purity throughout the night because someone in the audience was unclean.
Uposatha Sutta: The Observance
Now the Blessed One -- it being the observance day -- was sitting surrounded by monks. Then Ven. Ananda said to him: "The night, venerable sir, is far advanced. The community of monks has been sitting here long. Let the Blessed One recite the Patimokkha to them." When this was said, the Blessed One remained silent.
Then a second time Ven. Ananda repeated his words." When this was said, the Blessed One remained silent.
Then a third time, when the night was far advanced, at the end of the third watch, as dawn was approaching, Ven. Ananda arose from his seat, and said to him: "The night, venerable sir, is far advanced.Let the Blessed One recite the Patimokkha to the community of monks."
"Ananda, the gathering isn't pure."
Then the thought occurred to Ven. Maha Moggallana: "To whom did the Blessed One just now say, 'Ananda, the gathering isn't pure'?" So he directed his mind, encompassing with his awareness the awareness of the community of monks. He saw that individual -- unprincipled, evil, unclean and suspect in his undertakings, hidden in his actions, not leading the holy life though claiming to do so. He went over to that individual, and said, "Get up, my friend. You have been seen by the Blessed One. You have no communion with the community of monks." Then the individual remained silent. A second time...A third time, Ven. Maha Moggallana said. And for a third time he remained silent.
Then Ven. Maha Moggallana, grabbing that individual by the arm, having expelled him through the outside door of the porch and locking the bolt, approached the Blessed One and on arrival said, "I have expelled that individual. The gathering is now pure. Let the Blessed One recite the Patimokkha."
"Isn't it amazing, Moggallana. How that individual waited until he was grabbed by the arm." Then the Blessed One said: "From now on I will no longer perform the observance or recite the Patimokkha. You alone, monks, will perform the observance and recite the Patimokkha. It is impossible, that a Tathagata would recite the Patimokkha with an impure gathering.
UNHEEDED WARNINGS:
ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTORS ARE ONLY CONTROLLING AND SUPPRESSING THE INTENSE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT THEY CONTINUE TO CHURN UP FOR THEMSELVES DAILY BY BEHAVING IN A MANNER WITH ADDED FORCE, STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES AND MOTIONS AND CONSTANT CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS/FORCEFULNESS.
THEY ARE ALREADY WITHOUT FAIL ALL OWNERS OF MAD STRESS, MAD RESTLESSNESS, MAD DISTRACTION, MAD EMOTIONS (ANGER, SADNESS, FEAR, JEALOUSY AND GREED), MAD LOGIC, MAD PERCEPTION AND MAD VIOLENCE THAT CAN BE TRIGGERED TO INTENSE LEVELS BY SEEMINGLY MINOR STIMULI AND THEY DO NOT REALIZE THESE ARE WARNINGS OF CERTAIN FUTURE LOSS OF CONTROL AND FULL BLOWN MADNESS AND THEY ARE HEADED FOR PERDITION IF THEY DON’T MAKE PERSISTENT EFFORT TO CALM THEMSELVES DOWN AND PRACTICE CONSTANCY WITHOUT STRETCHING SYLLABLES.
Why It Is Difficult:
Why is it easier for you to appreciate the pitch changing when you blow faster at a same forcefulness into a flute than if you were to blow faster whilst you stretch a syllable?
The reason is when you stretch your syllable you are trying to consciously do three things at once whilst if you just blow into a flute you are doing only two things at once.
In order to consciously blow or exhale faster whilst you are stretching a syllable you must simultaneously pay attention to stretch your syllable, pay attention to increase the speed of your exhalation and also pay attention to observe the change in sound quality, something which is physically impossible and so you have to rapidly switch attention in order that everything does not unravel.
Because the flute takes care of making the note for you, you only have to pay attention to blow faster and pay attention to any sound change that result.
Therefore blowing into the flute (or referee whistle) is easier test to perform in order to experience pitch or frequency and loudness changes that result from exhaling faster and harder respectively.
Listen:
Listen to the way people everywhere speak and if you think they occasionally or frequently change speed or loudness you are defective in discernment because every syllable is stretched to greater or lesser extent and whenever they stretch their syllables they always forcefully change speed or loudness.
And the only way anyone can change speed or loudness within a syllable is to exhale with increasing speed or force wasting energy to create stress on his mind and vocal apparatus and induce restlessness and distraction.
Does the truth of what I say above depend on whether I am the counselor or not, whether I am not as high standing as I think I am or I am hypercritical or hypocritical? If you are better at me at detecting stretching of syllables, changing speed and loudness and how they lead to stress, restlessness and distraction, you will see through the true natures of others better than me, if you are better than me at practicing not stretching syllables, not changing speed and loudness you will experience less stress, restlessness and distraction than me so why accuse me of not being as high standing as I think and hypercritical?
Even if you cannot see he is putting on a show or acting and you think I am hypercritical, the man in the picture is posing or acting and displaying conflict. He is turning his head stressfully to face the camera to greet viewers whilst crossing his right leg away to hold back and digging his hands into his pockets with more force than is in truth necessary because there is bodily and mental tension and he is forcing himself to go against himself to be nice or act casually confident to impress onlookers.
The least stressful posture that is impossible for him and all actors to adopt because their mental forcefulness and sense of style do not permit is to stand upright without propping forward his chest to face the camera without smiling or grimacing, without crossing the legs and with his hands possibly in the pockets without force or tension or clenching.
Does what I say above depend on my integrity? Can any fake saying the things I or Jesus or the Buddha says? If what I say is true that he is creating stress, restlessness and distraction for himself and others to whom he can transmit his stress, restlessness and distraction to and you are color blind to what I am speaking about, you must remain in his world not to enjoy yourself but to suffer and even get your throat cut by this world of cutthroats and the next time you are back as a human there may be no consciousness changes to make life that much easier.
You may feel emotionally superior in your being non-judgmental at his behavior but if his behavior causes tension, restlessness and distraction in him that can rise to tormenting levels, your non-judgmental attitude may maintain him in his suffering and rather than merit you may be destined to return here through a circuitous route to continue your non-judgmentalism until a day if ever it awakens in you your attitude is neither good for yourself or him.
Quote: Outsourcing to earn India $60 billion.
Comment: $60 billion of what? $60 billion of US dollars that are intrinsically worthless pieces of paper that the world foolishly values without consideration that it may be worth nothing if the issuer defaults. So long as they keep accepting these worthless pieces of paper so long will they be conned they are making so much money and the US think they are more wealthy than they think. India thinks it has made so much money and America thinks it has so much money to spend when there is nothing at all and if you add $60 billion that India earned and $60 billion America spent, you might think this world has $120 billion that is not there.
Jury Convicts:
Just because the jury convicted the criminal in the Falconio trial does not mean they are wiser than the prosecutor.
There are stories that the convicted man kidnapped, tied up and raped a mother and daughter but then many men and even women share this fantasy. He allegedly said the police was looking for me, which is not surprising considering he is a simpleton aware of his sexual urges/ deeds and have been told by associates he looked like the person in the identikit pictures.
Whatever the verdict, one faux pas or ‘howler’ remains unanswered. The couple’s van was found much later suggesting it is quite far from the site and a police site said it was found about 2 km from the scene.
What I ask is how could a lone gunman abandon his vehicle with the girl and body at the scene to drive the couple’s van 2 km away when he must walk back in the apparent pitch darkness?
She claimed that the gunman used her jacket to cover Falconio’s head so that no blood leaked is far fetched if not impossible. No matter how well covered there must be traces of blood in the couple’s van or the gunman’s 4WD.
UNLESS THE COUPLE’S VAN WAS FOUND AT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME, IT IS HARD IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN HOW ANY LONE GUNMAN CAN CARRY IT OUT. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BUT YOU MAY BE PRESUMPTUOUS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT THAT DUMB.
Jesus was not engaging in meaningless babble when he said the world cannot receive or welcome the counselor because it neither sees nor knows him.
Seeing is recognizing someone visually as to who he is whilst knowing is having knowledge or information of who someone is either because you have been told or you worked it out logically or have evidence.
You may not know or see that someone is the prime minister’s son but if someone you trust tells you so you then know he is the prime minister’s son but you may still not see him as the prime minister’s son either because you belittle him or you cannot or have not changed your perception that he is just another person but after some time of knowing and seeing him, you may gradually begin to see or recognize him as the son of the pm.
JESUS IS SAYING THAT BECAUSE THE WORLD CANNOT SEE THAT HE IS THE COUNSELOR, DOES NOT KNOW HE IS THE COUNSELOR (BECAUSE NO ONE HAS TOLD THEM DEFINITELY AND THEY CANNOT WORK IT OUT LOGICALLY) IT CANNOT RECEIVE OR WELCOME HIM. THEREFORE HE WILL BE (COMPLETELY) IGNORED BY THE WORLD AND TREATED AS A NONENTITY WHEN HE MAY BE TRULY UNIQUE IN THIS WORLD.
AND WHAT DOES JESUS SAY THAT YOU SHOULD NOTE ABOUT HIM? HE IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH OR REPRESENTS TRUTH IN CONTRADISTINCTION TO THIS WORLD OF PERVASIVE PRETENSE THAT IS SO INTENSE THOSE WHO BELIEVE THEY ARE GOOD DO NOT REALIZE THEY ARE WICKED, WHO IS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE TO COME, HE WILL COUNSEL YOU, TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, GUIDE YOU TO ALL THE TRUTH AND TAKE FROM WHAT IS HIS AND MAKE IT KNOWN TO YOU AND CONVINCE THE WORLD OF SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUDGMENT.
Quote: and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
Comment: Christians even the top of the hierarchy routinely speak of their pride in this and that without realizing that pride is a forceful emotion and sin that drives men to irrationally subject themselves and others to suffering eg hide their hurt at a sarcasm and instead to pile on the agony to smile as if they are not hurt.
Notice God said he was pleased not proud with his Son.
He Dwells With You:
If the counselor is in your mind who is to your advantage to come, teaches you all things, brings you remembrance all that Jesus has said and convinces you of sin, righteousness and judgment and he still needs Jesus to tell you that he dwells in your mind, he must be a very secretive or hard to see or false mental counselor. Whatever is true is plain and needs no effort or imagination, let alone stretching your imagination to see.
Therefore unless you believe Jesus is speaking nonsense or the obvious, that he said the counselor dwells with you indicate the counselor cannot be a mental being.
If the counselor is a physical being who will come and you know he dwells with you, then Jesus need not tell you so.
It is only when the counselor to come is a physical being and people in general do not know he dwells with them that Jesus has to tell you so.
Taken logically, something that correlates completely with what Jesus said in quite a few other instances, the only premise that can be true that makes Jesus’ statement valid is that the counselor is (definitely) a physical being who will come and the vast or entire majority of people are unaware of his presence.
**
It was because Jesus was drawing crowds that alarmed authorities felt threatened enough to plot to get rid of him. In the same way if the counselor was to draw crowds, it will alarm latter day authorities to get rid of him. If the counselor was to appear in person drawing crowds in this modern global day it is a certainty that he will not last long.
It is because the world cannot receive the counselor because they neither see him (recognize by appearance he is the counselor) nor knows him (no one who knows has told them) that Jesus has to presage his arrival. If the world can see or know him and therefore receive him as the counselor or he by himself can convince the world he is the counselor just as he will convince the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, it would not be necessary for Jesus to speak in advance or introduce him to you like masters of ceremonies introduce the next speaker.
The Buddha said that kingship over men is meager compared to heavenly pleasure and no heavenly being in his right mind (and you must have a right mind to be in heaven) will volunteer to come to earth for men to spit at and persecute him, even those who think they are good are goats in sheepskin trying to poison him with their niceness they insist he should accept gratefully.
Therefore the fact that Jesus said that it is to your advantage that he goes, if he does not go the counselor will not come to you indicates the counselor will be a person who will come not a mental entity because no heavenly being in his right mind will come on his own into this mad violent world but he has to be sent and if Jesus remains, there is no need for another being from heaven to come.
Convincing The World: Jesus did not say the counselor will convince the world that he is the counselor or that the world will become convinced he is the counselor.
Baring Concealed Fangs:
I pointed out unemotionally in an Email to a friend that he was prying into my affairs, he often sprinkled his speech with laughter and there was stretching of syllables and constant changes in speed and loudness in his speech and he replied cryptically “peace be with you”.
When I asked exactly what he meant by that, he did not let his yes be yes only but exploded saying:
i have grave doubts about your own hg (high) standing & being judgmental about others.Maybe you should take a hard lood at yourself first.Spending a lot of money on variours objects definitely does not show a sign of detachment.
Being hypercritical & ignoring the views of others does not show any (he is not generous enough to grant me even poor insight) insight, self insight is better.
DOUBT IS A PAINFUL FALSE CONFLICTED EMOTIONAL STATE THAT CAN REACH AGONIZING INTENSITY AND IT IS ALSO AS THE BUDDHA SAID ONE OF THREE LOWER FETTERS TO STATES OF FUTURE WOE SO IT IS WICKED AND A GRAVE SIN AND YOU NEVER CAST DOUBT LET ALONE GRAVE DOUBTS ON YOURSELF OR OTHERS. (It may not be true his doubts are grave but it is to forcefully intimidate me to believe him and therefore he is an actor, not just here but everything in him is acted. Many can see others are actors but they do not realize they are academy award standard actors in their own quiet ways)
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY I AM LOW STANDING AND TO TELL ME NOT TO BE JUDGMENTAL BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY YOU HAVE DOUBT LET ALONE GRAVE DOUBTS ABOUT MY ALLEGED HIGH STANDING AND BEING JUDGMENTAL WHICH IS TANTAMOUNT TO ACCUSING ME PRESUMPTUOUSLY OF HOLDING MYSELF IN HIGH STANDING AND THAT I AM JUDGMENTAL LIKE YOU ARE JUDGING ME.
BECAUSE DOUBT IS A FORCEFUL CONDITIONING STATE, EVERY TIME YOU DOUBT YOURSELF AND OTHERS WHETHER GENUINELY OR IT IS A LIE, YOU ARE CONDITIONING YOURSELF TO DOUBT THAT LEADS EVEN TO MENTAL HELL.
(When Peter said he will never fall away, Jesus did not say he had grave doubts about Peter’s faithfulness but he said, truly I say to you, you will deny me three times before the cock crows. Jesus respected Peter’s belief and merely expressed his own opposite belief. Have I not taken from what is Jesus’ and made it known to you in a way no one has done? Do I not convince you of sin, righteousness and judgment? Has anybody explained as succinctly what the Buddha meant by doubt and uncertainty being one of three lower fetters together with self identity views, faith in rites and precepts to states of future woe?).
OFTEN WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE DEFINITE IN THEIR ACCUSATIONS IT IS TO INTIMIDATE THE LISTENER TO BELIEVE HIS ACCUSATION AND THAT IS MALICIOUS.
YOU MAY BE SMUG IN SUCCEEDING TO CONVINCE YOUR VICTIM THAT YOUR ACCUSATION IS DEFINITELY TRUE BUT NOT ONLY HAVE YOU INCURRED KARMIC DEBT FOR BRAINWASHING OTHERS BUT BECAUSE YOU MUST ALSO FORCE YOURSELF TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU FALSELY SAYS IS DEFINITELY TRUE, YOU ARE CONDITIONING YOUR MIND EACH TIME TO INCREASINGLY BELIEVE DEFINITELY YOUR OWN FALSITY SUCH THAT YOU HAVE A TRULY DEFINITE APPOINTMENT WITH FUTURE UNCONTROLLABLE MAD LOGIC.
JUST AS THE INTEGRITY OF WHAT THE BUDDHA OR JESUS TAUGHT IS INDEPENDENT OF THEIR NATURES ALTHOUGH WHAT THEY SAY REFLECTS THEIR NATURE, IF YOU THINK THEY ARE HYPOCRITES AND YOU CAN PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH BETTER THAN THEM, YOU WILL BE A BETTER MAN AND EXPERIENCE LESS SUFFERING, IN THE SAME WAY THE INTEGRITY OF WHAT I HAVE SAID IS INDEPENDENT OF MY PERSONAL NATURE ALTHOUGH IT REFLECTS MY NATURE AND TO BELIEVE MY LOW STANDING, BEING ATTACHED, HYPOCRITICAL, HYPERCRITICAL AND WITHOUT ANY INSIGHT (HE DOES NOT GRANT ME EVEN POOR INSIGHT) ABROGATES ALL THAT I HAVE SAID BEFORE REFLECTS A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING & BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE. IF YOU HAVE UNDERSTOOD & PRACTICED WHAT I PREACHED NAMELY NOT SMILING, NOT STRETCHING SYLLABLES, NOT CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN IMBUED BY A STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION FREE MENTAL & BODILY CALM CLARITY TO NEVER HAVE SAID WHAT YOU SAID IN THE EMOTIONAL WAY YOU SAID.
EVEN IF ALL THAT YOU ACCUSE ME OF IS TRUE IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS AND YOU ARE MEDDLING OR PRYING INTO MY AFFAIRS THAT IN THIS CASE YOU ARE UNABLE TO RESTRAIN BECAUSE YOU ARE DRIVEN BY EMOTION TO RETALIATE FOR A PERCEIVED ATTACK ON YOUR PERSON BY ME IN WHICH THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL’S BACK MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY JUSTIFIED QUERY AS TO EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEANT BY ‘PEACE BE WITH ME’ IN REPLY TO MY SAYING YOU PRY, LAUGH, STRETCHES SYLLABLES WITH CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS. I NEVER IMAGINED HE HARBORED SUCH GRAVE DOUBTS ABOUT ME ALL THE WHILE AND IF HE DID HARBOR SUCH NEGATIVE SENTIMENTS ABOUT ME, THEN HIS FRIENDLINESS IS FABRICATED OR HYPOCRITICAL. BECAUSE I AM NOT EMOTIONAL, I DO NOT SMILE OR EXPRESS EAGERNESS TO ANYBODY, I AM NOT ‘WARM’ TO ANYBODY I CANNOT BE HYPOCRITICAL TO HIM OR ANYBODY.
DO YOU PAY ME A STIPEND FOR MY DETACHMENT OR INTEGRITY SO THAT YOU FEEL CHEATED IF I AM NOT UP TO (EMOTIONAL) STANDARDS YOU EXPECT OF ME?
THE MANY THINGS I DWELT ON (eg that ‘a saree is anything but a square piece of cloth’ is always a false statement because whatever else a saree may be it is still a square piece of cloth and there are many things a saree cannot be like a cat or a fridge) MAY BE CONSIDERED BY YOU TO BE HYPERCRITICAL BUT THEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MY INTEGRITY OR HIGH STANDING. IF YOU THINK IT IS VALID AND I AM NITPICKING YOU MAY BE COURTING FUTURE MAD LOGIC BECAUSE IT IS TOTALLY FALSE AND NEVER GOOD FOR THE RECIPIENT OR THE SPEAKER WHO OBVIOUSLY BELIEVES IN THE VERACITY OF HIS SWEEPING STATEMENT.
I HAVE SAID THAT CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGES I TRIGGERED AFTER 1977 BENEFITED EVERYONE, I HAVE INTEPRETED IN MANY INSTANCES WHAT JESUS AND THE BUDDHA SAID IN A WAY NEVER BEFORE HEARD, I HAVE SHOWN THAT RESTLESSNESS IS NOT BLAMELESS OR MANDATORY BUT CAN BE ABANDONED AS THE BUDDHA SAID, IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXIT RESTLESSNESS PERMANENTLY, SOMETHING UNHEARD OF, NEVER DREAMT POSSIBLE, BY PRACTICING NON STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, NON CHANGING OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS WHILST SPEAKING. IF WHAT I SAY IS APPLICABLE TO EVERYONE AND TRULY LEADS TO A PERMANENT CESSATION OF RESTLESSNESS, THEN THE COUNSELOR THAT JESUS SPOKE OF MUST ALSO DWELL ON THEM TO BENEFIT YOU AND IF I HAVE DONE SO, I HAVE SUPERSEDED HIM.
DID I EVER SAY I WAS THE COUNSELOR OR THAT YOU SHOULD WORSHIP LET ALONE EMOTIONALLY WORSHIP ME AS THE COUNSELOR? DID I EVER SAY THAT TO BE THE COUNSELOR JESUS DESCRIBED IS HIGH STANDING OR THAT I CRAVE HIGH STANDING? JESUS SAID HE AMONGST YOU WHO WILL BE THE GREATEST WILL BE THE SERVANT TO THE REST, NOT THE HIGHEST STANDING. ALTHOUGH YOU NEVER STATED PRECISELY WHY YOU PERCEIVE ME AS HIGH STANDING, YOU MAY BE FOOLISHLY JUMPING TO UNWARRANTED CONCLUSIONS BASED ON WHAT I SAY AND THEREFORE ATTACKING MY IMAGINED HIGH STANDING LIKE A FOOL ATTACKING HIS OWN SHADOW.
WHAT I SAID IMPLIES I MAY BE AND LOGICALLY AM THE COUNSELOR JESUS SPOKE ABOUT. I DID NOT SAY I AM OR MUST BE. YOU THINK I AM PROMOTING MY HIGH STANDING BUT I MAY BE GLORIFYING JESUS AS NO ONE HAS DONE BEFORE BY POINTING OUT THE TRUTH OF WHAT HE SAID IN THIS AND MANY OTHER INSTANCES THAT YOU CANNOT EMULATE EVEN IF YOU WANTED. LET OTHERS & MYSELF DECIDE WHETHER I AM A FAKE OR NOT, IF YOU EXPRESS OPINION THAT EMOTIONALLY INFLUENCE OTHERS (EG YOU WANT ME TO THINK THAT IT IS LAUGHABLE IF I THINK I AM THE COUNSELOR) UNRIGHTEOUSLY, YOU ARE ASKING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY.
(There is a medical story that a consultant on a ward round stuck a finger into a patient’s bedside urinal and then put a finger into his mouth and remarked how sweet it tasted and invited an inattentive student to emulate him whereupon he recoiled at the taste. What the student failed to notice was that the consultant put a different finger into his mouth)
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO UNEMOTIONALLY, CALM AND CLEARLY THINKING TOTALLY REJECT EVERYTHING THAT I SAY BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO EMOTIONALLY ATTACK MY PERSON AS HYPERCRITICAL BECAUSE THAT IS HURTFUL DERISION, A SIN. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO EMOTIONALLY ATTACK EVEN ONE THING I SAY LET ALONE ATTACK MY PERSON FOR WHAT I SAY.
I DID NOT EVEN ATTACK HIS ALLEGED PRYING, LAUGHING, STRETCHING SYLLABLES, LET ALONE ATTACK HIM, I MERELY POINTED OUT CALMLY WITH CLEAR THINKING THAT I PERCEIVED HE PRIES, LAUGHS WHILST SPEAKING AND STRETCHES HIS SYLLABLES.
SIMILARLY I HAVE NO RIGHT & I WOULD BE FOOLISH TO EXPECT OR INSIST THAT OTHERS ACCEPT WHAT I SAY BECAUSE I MUST THEN BE HURT IF I AM SPURNED.
MY DETACHMENT IS NOT TO IMPRESS YOU OR ANYBODY OR GOD BUT I AM DETACHED BECAUSE I TRULY DO NOT WANT TO SUFFER WHEREAS OTHERS ARE ONLY ACTING OR PRETENDING SO WELL THEY BELIEVE FALSELY THEY DO NOT WANT TO SUFFER, DO NOT WANT TO MAKE OTHERS SUFFER. YOU ARE A FOOL TO MEDDLE OR PRY INTO MY DETACHMENT BY EQUATING MY SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY (THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY TOOK TO HEART AND CAST JUDGMENT YOURSELF) EQUATES DEFINITELY TO ATTACHMENT WHEN IT IS FALSE LOGIC. THEREFORE YOU ARE FOOLISH AND A BUSYBODY OR PRYING TO CONCERN YOURSELF WITH MY DETACHMENT THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
EVEN A SUPPOSEDLY COMMITTED INTELLIGENT CHRISTIAN FAILED TO GRASP WHAT I HAVE SAID NOT ONCE BUT MANY TIMES IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, CANNOT LET HIS YES BE YES ONLY, CANNOT SEE OR KNOW THAT I AM SOMEONE OF SOME UNCOMMON NOBILITY, WHAT MORE THAT THE MASSES WILL? IT MAY BE THAT I AM RUBBISH OR IT MAY BE AS JESUS SAID, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH THAT THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE (WELCOME) BECAUSE IT NEITHER SEES (RECOGNIZE) NOR KNOWS (HAVE BEEN TOLD) HIM.
GODATTA:
No matter what the praise from foolsor the censure from those who know,the censure from those who knowis better than if there were praise from fools.
Those who've abandoned sensuality & anger,whose minds are calmed from becoming & non- becoming,go through the world unattached.For them there is nothing dear or undear.Developing the factors of Awakening, faculties & strengths, attaining the foremost peace,without fermentation, they are entirely Unbound.
Do I criticize the statement above? No, I am in total agreement.
Why should I be upset with him if he turns out to be a hypocrite? If I can practice what he spoke better than him I will be a better man.
Have you heard me criticize God, Jesus or the Buddha? Many have criticized them without realizing they do eg “Act of God” attributed to calamities or why is God so cruel. You may think I am hypercritical when I pick on “peace be with you” but you may be flirting with future madness if you think it is meaningful not just to you but to others. If you have not attained the foremost peace how can you offer peace to others?
If you understood what the Buddha or Jesus said, you will realize this world is far from blameless and you have to be very careful in upholding the views of men.
“Peace Be With You”
(In the light of his uncharitable remarks about me, I was right to question what he meant by ‘peace be with me’ because the cryptic statement can mean opposite things)
If I knew what he meant by “Peace be with you” I would not ask him exactly what he meant. If he thinks it is a crystal clear reply, he may be courting future mad logic to believe it is clear to himself and others when it is an abstract or not let your yes be yes only answer.
A person who lets his yes be yes only replies “I acknowledge your comments”, “I am sorry if I offended you” or “I refute your charges”. “Peace be with you” is like saying ‘American cars don’t cross the pond well’ when you mean American cars are not well received in Europe.
Does he mean “I am sorry I made you angry therefore peace be with you” or “although you accuse me wrongly and I am annoyed I forgive you therefore peace be with you”? If I am in peace do I need you to tell me peace be with me? If I am not in peace, do you think merely what you say will confer peace on me? If it serves no purpose then ‘peace be with me’ is a mere nicety.
If you think your ‘peace be with you’ is emulating Jesus’ “My peace I give to you” you are mistaken because you are aping Jesus. When Jesus was speaking of his true assuaging peace that is unknown in this world but when you speak of peace it is the forceful make believe suppressed restlessness type that is the only kind you know that you think others should share with you. Further what Jesus spoke was live specifically intended for an occasion whilst your ‘peace be with you’ is likely a rote standard therefore insincere rehash that you think is chic or groovy for similar occasions not caring that it creates uncertainty in the recipient as to exactly what you mean.
A person who lets his yes be yes only when asked what he meant by ‘peace be with you’ will merely reply that he meant such and such. Instead by launching a broadside at me he said much more which came from evil:
i have grave doubts (A person who lets his yes be yes merely says he has doubts. The motive is likely to exaggerate or intimidate. Whoever must be grave must suffer gravely and be careful what you wish for because since you like graveness so much you shall have all the graveness your heart desires in the future) about your own hg (high) standing & being judgmental about others.
(High standing is a derivative of emotional pride and never a pleasure it is faked to be but it is always a fabricated deluded stressful state of a foolish mind. I do not value high standing nor do I look down on anybody and you don’t know me and are accusing me falsely to say I adopt a high standing attitude.
A wise person does not sinfully cast doubt on himself or others because doubt is an agitated emotional state or reaction to a situation that is reinforcing & one of three lower fetters to future states of woe according to the Buddha. Not only do you think nothing about harboring grave doubts, you want me to share your grave doubts and become doubt ridden. “I do not think you are high standing” is a wiser less emotional way to speak. You have every right not to think I am high standing but you have no right to cast doubt on my perceived high standing or being judgmental.)Maybe you should take a hard lood (“Hard” is a strong word reflecting a forceful or emotional acting mind; a person who let his yes be yes only says take a look at yourself. Again this is wickedly casting doubt on me) at yourself first.
Spending a lot of money on variours objects definitely does not show a sign of detachment.
(He is likely using ‘definite’ to intimidate me to believe what he says is right. Each time you forcefully say something is definite when it is not, you are reinforcing yourself to falsity that becomes increasingly compelling you do not realize you will succumb to be madly illogical.)
Being hypercritical (if you let your yes be yes you say ‘critical’ but if you are emotional you say ‘hypercritical’ and it is you who suffers because emotion is applying force on your mind causing stress) & ignoring the views of others does not show any (I don’t even possess poor insight in his estimation) insight, self insight is better (if you have self insight you would have realized you laugh when you speak, you constantly stretch your syllables and change speed and loudness when you speak and how these create stress, restlessness and distraction in yourself and others who have to bear the brunt of it).
Spending A Lot Of Money:
You may think I am hypercritical and hypocritical to criticize the pope (because you identify with him or your church) for wearing designer gowns when I own two relatively expensive cars and an old car that I cannot dispose off at a reasonable price but whereas I did not buy my cars for style or prestige (many do), I do not drive around in a flaunting or proud or abusive manner and they provide superior handling and ride that I can appreciate (therefore I am not practicing something irrational or controlled madness, what I do has purpose), the pope’s garments are all for show, does not improve his performance as pope, are in fact likely to be uncomfortable or unwieldy to wear, he may flaunt them and they promote appreciation of appearances (therefore he is practicing what is irrational or courting future madness to believe all those gowns are meaningful and necessary). How do you know that he is not more emotionally attached to the trappings of his office than I am to my cars? A beggar might attack you for taking a penny off him whilst I was hardly upset when I found a long gash in my parked car a year or so ago. Can you react without anger when you find your dear car vandalized?
Many do not realize their perception is selective and they pry without realizing. For instance they take note when I inform them about my three cars but when I speak about stretching syllables, constant changes in speed and loudness they do not take note, it falls on deaf ears that think it does not apply to them. If they have taken note and applied accordingly they would have discovered there are constant not frequent stretching of syllables in their speech and that of everyone around and taken action to stop them.
People who accuse me of being hypercritical do not realize they are more intensely (because they are emotional and I am not) and constantly (because they cannot help themselves reacting whilst I can) critical than me. Whatever impinges on their awareness they helplessly must react or express an opinion that they may keep to themselves like (thrilled) or dislike (disgusted) or ‘ho, ho, ho’. Just because they laugh when they think negatively of others, they think they are tolerant when they are secretly laughing or looking down at others or being hypercritical and hypocritical. Even when they defend the views of others it is actually hypocritical, they force themselves to act as if they appreciate whilst hiding their disagreements so well they believe they truly appreciate or respect others’ opinions. Because they are forceful people they sometimes force themselves to suppress any reaction to events or they smile with force as if they are indifferent and they kid themselves they have not been critical in those instances. They may think they are advocating tolerance or peacemakers but their attitude is ‘I shit, you shit and everybody shits so shut up and let’s shit together’ or ‘see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil’ when there is plenty of evil around to see, hear and speak against. Because my mind is now calm and clearly thinking, risen above the fray, I do not react to many things happening around me, let alone be hypercritical all the time. Whoever is hypercritical will suffer even agony so you do not have put your head on the chopper board to openly accuse me or others of being hypercritical.
Attachment is always a forceful or emotional woeful state of mind whilst detachment can be either forced or acted or passive or effortless or woe free.
Detachment is not something anyone can practice in isolation but as the Buddha said, it is the culmination in the nature of things of a process of awakening whereby mindfulness (eg paying attention to how you speak) leads to analysis of qualities (examination and the discovery of rampant stretching, speed and loudness changes) leads to persistence (as you discover more and more insights that reduces your mental suffering you become motivated or persistent) leads to rapture that is not of the flesh (as you reduce defiling yourself, the suffering load reduces and your body becomes suffused with bliss that is not sensual) leads to passive effortless calm (the swirling in a beaker of water allowed to stand gradually settles or calms down) leads to passive concentration (when a beaker of turbid water is allowed to stand still suspended particles in time settle down and the water becomes concentrated or pure) leads to equanimity or true detachment (neither like or dislike).
Hitting the jackpot:
You never belittle anyone, not even the madman who cries that his dead son is back alive.
If you think I too belittle you, you may be right or you may be again accusing me wrongly, hammering yet another nail into your coffin of future pain.
If the person you foolishly scoff is a person of some nobility then you are in trouble with the Buddha because he said those who scoffed at noble ones are headed for perdition.
Indeed these worthy (you are worthy but if you sin you are punished) beings who were possessed of wrong conduct in body (Jesus said woe to you who laughs for you shall weep), who were possessed of wrong conduct in speech, who were possessed of wrong conduct of thought, scoffers at the ariyans (noble ones), holding a wrong view, incurring deeds consequent on a wrong view -- these, at the breaking up of the body after dying, have arisen in a sorrowful state, a bad bourn, the abyss, Niraya hell. But these worthy beings who were possessed of good conduct in body, who were possessed of good conduct in speech, who were possessed of good conduct in thought, who did not scoff at the ariyans, holding a right view, incurring deeds consequent on a right view -- these, at the breaking up of the body, after dying, have arisen in a good bourn, a heaven world.
You will hit the jackpot if you foolishly scoff at the counselor:
And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
YOU WILL BE BACK HERE AND THE NEXT TIME THERE MAY NOT BE ANY CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGE THAT WAS TRIGGERED BY ME TO MAKE LIFE APPRECIABLY EASIER FOR YOU, YOU WILL BE LEFT TO YOUR OWN DEVICES, TO APPRECIATE ALL THE DISPARATE CONFLICTING INDIGESTIBLE VIEWS YOU SO ADVOCATE OTHERS AND ME TO APPRECIATE.
Repudiating With Reasons Not Ignoring, Hypercritical & No Insight:
Quote: Being hypercritical & ignoring the views of others does not show any insight, self insight is better.
This is a no holds barred attack with strong words ‘hypercritical’ instead of ‘critical’, ‘ignoring’ instead of ‘paying little attention’ and what I say shows NO insight. Few people have no insight and he is flirting with falsity in his haste to persecute and is not generous enough to concede ‘poor insight’.
Jesus said you will be judged for every careless or emotional word you say and if it turns out that most if not everything I say does not ignore the opinions of others but rationally repudiate them, not only is there not NO insight in my critique but it is penetrative, he is asking for big trouble putting down someone is uncommonly penetrative is no insight.
He has a right to unemotionally reject totally all I say but he has no right to tell me off that ‘it does not show any insight’ as if he is an arbiter of what is insight. If it turns he himself has poor insight and he is telling off someone who has exceptional insight he is a great fool.
A possible example of my hypercriticism, ignoring others’ views and showing no insight:
Quote Bush: Many advocating an artificial (timetables can be fixed or flexible but is there a natural timetable?) timetable for withdrawing out troops are sincere, but I believe they are sincerely wrong. Pulling out our troops before they’ve achieved their purpose is not a plan for victory”
Comment: Bush stumbling on his language is not just isolated oddity but it reflects his mind is seriously jumbled or warped and he is mentally tormented not calm and clearly thinking.
He was trying to say that he sincerely believes his critics are wrong but he garbled it to become he believes they are sincerely wrong.
Does anyone need him to tell or remind them that pulling out the troops before they have achieved their purpose (possibly security) is not a plan for victory but failure to achieve their purpose? You might expect a child to say that B is not A, but you might expect a president of a so called mighty country to do better than that.
YOU MAY SAY I AM NITPICKING BUT IT MAY BE YOU WHO IS SO TOLERANT OF SIN TO SEE, HEAR AND SPEAK NO EVIL WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF EVIL TO SEE, HEAR AND SPEAK AGAINST. YOU MAY THINK YOU ARE MERITORIOUSLY NON JUDGMENTAL BUT YOU MAY BE AN ACCOMPLICE TO SIN AND ON THE SIDE OF MEN NOT GOD.
Adding Insult To Injury:
He subsequently suggested that I should provide him with a list of taboo subjects that he should avoid.
He obviously thinks he is being good and may not realize that he is shifting the onus on me to do work that may be fruitless to give him a list and implying I am sensitive and he is not to blame because he does not he know what topics are taboo to me.
It is easy for you to tell others to do this and that, provide me with a list but make sure it is not sending me on a wild goose chase or shifting blame or you are unknowingly piling fresh karma.
No one is a master of his prying but like everything that is forceful or emotional, it grows in strength with practice and even if he is supplied with a list it is likely he will transgress.
A Miser May Be More Attached:
The miser who spends hardly at all may be more attached to his money and miserly possessions than the person who spends.
Only a person who has become a Buddha is completely detached and without desire but if you think the desire of heavenly beings is the same as your emotional possessive constantly unnecessarily changing in speed and forcefulness desire, you may be a fool.
The Buddha says below that a noble person can enjoy his righteously gained wealth:
Adiya Sutta:Benefits to be Obtained(from Wealth)
Then Anathapindika the householder went to the Blessed One. The Blessed One said: "There are these five benefits that can be obtained from wealth.
"There is the case where the noble disciple (someone noble can enjoy his wealth) -- using the wealth earned through his efforts & enterprise, righteous wealth righteously gained -- provides himself with pleasure & satisfaction. He provides his mother & father with pleasure & satisfaction. He provides his children, his wife, his slaves, servants & assistants with pleasure & satisfaction. This is the first benefit.
"Furthermore, the noble disciple -- using the wealth earned -- provides his friends & associates with pleasure & satisfaction. This is the second benefit.
"Furthermore, the noble disciple -- using the wealth earned -- wards off from calamities coming from fire, flood, kings, thieves, or hateful heirs, and keeps himself safe. This is the third.
"Furthermore, the noble disciple -- using the wealth earned -- performs the five oblations: to relatives, guests, the dead, kings & devas. This is the fourth benefit.
"Furthermore, the noble disciple -- using the wealth earned -- institutes offerings of supreme aim, heavenly, resulting in happiness, leading to heaven, given to priests & contemplatives who abstain from intoxication & heedlessness, each taking himself to Unbinding. This is the fifth benefit. (What you give to a Buddha is far more meritorious than that given to a beggar)
(As the Buddha said there is lust also in heaven and heavenly nymphs make human beauties look like monkeys with cauterized faces but if you think that heavenly lust is the same furtive, pretentious, self and other defiling even violent emotional lust with constant forceful changes in speed and force as humans do, you may be deluded. The lust in heaven may be passive, not forceful, not emotional, not defiling or hurting self and other)
No Fellowship With Sin:
Many have this mistaken view that Buddhism and Christianity preaches tolerance for the views of others. Not that you should condemn others but you should not approve with reason the wrong views others hold nor act as if you appreciate them because wrong view is deadly and leads to hell or the animal womb.
For instance whoever you are, I do not approve and maintain that all investment is gambling, greed for unrighteous gain and even if you do not believe it is, you are conditioning yourself to emotional doubt and uncertainty as you frequently anxiously check your investment, hesitate on what decision to make and fear unexpected loss. Whether you will take heed is another thing but I do not approve or encourage you to invest.
Jesus is not speaking of compromise when he spoke below.
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man's foes will be those of his own household. 37* He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
(If I were to say that I have come to set a man against father and he who loves his son more than me is not worthy of me, I would be branded a heretic and no one will read what I write anymore. Why should people acquiesce if Jesus said that and not me? It is not because they perceive the truth of what Jesus said but because they know who Jesus is and his promise of eternal life make them afraid to speak out even when the statement is likely to place them in a quandary. I am a nobody and they do not respect me because I do not have a halo on my head. Appearances are important to humans. The truth of what Jesus said is that this is a world of ubiquitous pretense wherein even intimate family members are killing each other with poisonous niceness they insist is goodness and therefore whoever loves his acted life here, his acted love for family members above his love for Jesus or truth or non suffering non acting is not worthy of him. What Jesus said indicates truth and goodness is a rarity in this world and therefore you have to forsake the rampant falsity of family ties to exit to heaven)
Similarly do not imagine the Buddha is indulgent because he says below he will kill those who are tamable but refuse to subject themselves to taming. There are many who cannot be tamed and there are those who can be tamed but decline to be tamed. You may be one of those and don’t think the Buddha looks on kindly to you. Similarly Jesus said many will prophesy in his name but he will tell them he does not know them because they are evil doers or do not obey what he commands.
Kesi Sutta: To Kesi the Horsetrainer
Then Kesi the horsetrainer went to the Blessed One. The Blessed One said to him: "You, Kesi, are a trained man, a trainer of tamable horses. And how do you train a tamable horse?"
"Lord, I train a tamable horse [sometimes] with mildness, [sometimes] with harshness, [sometimes] with both."
"And if a tamable horse does not submit by the combination, Kesi, what do you do?"
"If a tamable horse does not submit, then I kill it. Why is that? [I think:] 'Don't let this be a disgrace to my lineage of teachers.' But the Blessed One, is the unexcelled trainer of tamable people. How do you train a tamable person?"
"Kesi, I train a tamable person [sometimes] with mildness, [sometimes] with harshness, [sometimes] with both mildness & harshness.
"In using mildness, [I teach:] 'Such is good bodily conduct. Such is its result. Such is good verbal conduct. Such is it’s result. Such is good mental conduct. Such is it’s result. Such are the devas. Such are human beings.'
"In using harshness, [I teach:] 'Such is bodily misconduct. Such is the result. Such is verbal misconduct. Such is the result. Such is mental misconduct. Such is the result. Such is hell,the animal womb, the realm of the hungry shades.'
"If a tamable person does not submit either to mild or harsh training or both, then I kill him, Kesi."
"But it's not proper for our Blessed One to take life! "
"It is true, Kesi. But if a tamable person does not submit to training, then the Tathagata & his fellows in the holy life do not regard him as being worth admonishing. This is what it means to be totally destroyed in the Doctrine & Discipline."
"Yes, lord, one would be totally destroyed if the Tathagata and one's fellows in the holy life do not regard one as being worth admonishing.
Again the Buddha below refused to recite the vow of purity throughout the night because someone in the audience was unclean.
Uposatha Sutta: The Observance
Now the Blessed One -- it being the observance day -- was sitting surrounded by monks. Then Ven. Ananda said to him: "The night, venerable sir, is far advanced. The community of monks has been sitting here long. Let the Blessed One recite the Patimokkha to them." When this was said, the Blessed One remained silent.
Then a second time Ven. Ananda repeated his words." When this was said, the Blessed One remained silent.
Then a third time, when the night was far advanced, at the end of the third watch, as dawn was approaching, Ven. Ananda arose from his seat, and said to him: "The night, venerable sir, is far advanced.Let the Blessed One recite the Patimokkha to the community of monks."
"Ananda, the gathering isn't pure."
Then the thought occurred to Ven. Maha Moggallana: "To whom did the Blessed One just now say, 'Ananda, the gathering isn't pure'?" So he directed his mind, encompassing with his awareness the awareness of the community of monks. He saw that individual -- unprincipled, evil, unclean and suspect in his undertakings, hidden in his actions, not leading the holy life though claiming to do so. He went over to that individual, and said, "Get up, my friend. You have been seen by the Blessed One. You have no communion with the community of monks." Then the individual remained silent. A second time...A third time, Ven. Maha Moggallana said. And for a third time he remained silent.
Then Ven. Maha Moggallana, grabbing that individual by the arm, having expelled him through the outside door of the porch and locking the bolt, approached the Blessed One and on arrival said, "I have expelled that individual. The gathering is now pure. Let the Blessed One recite the Patimokkha."
"Isn't it amazing, Moggallana. How that individual waited until he was grabbed by the arm." Then the Blessed One said: "From now on I will no longer perform the observance or recite the Patimokkha. You alone, monks, will perform the observance and recite the Patimokkha. It is impossible, that a Tathagata would recite the Patimokkha with an impure gathering.
UNHEEDED WARNINGS:
ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTORS ARE ONLY CONTROLLING AND SUPPRESSING THE INTENSE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT THEY CONTINUE TO CHURN UP FOR THEMSELVES DAILY BY BEHAVING IN A MANNER WITH ADDED FORCE, STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES AND MOTIONS AND CONSTANT CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS/FORCEFULNESS.
THEY ARE ALREADY WITHOUT FAIL ALL OWNERS OF MAD STRESS, MAD RESTLESSNESS, MAD DISTRACTION, MAD EMOTIONS (ANGER, SADNESS, FEAR, JEALOUSY AND GREED), MAD LOGIC, MAD PERCEPTION AND MAD VIOLENCE THAT CAN BE TRIGGERED TO INTENSE LEVELS BY SEEMINGLY MINOR STIMULI AND THEY DO NOT REALIZE THESE ARE WARNINGS OF CERTAIN FUTURE LOSS OF CONTROL AND FULL BLOWN MADNESS AND THEY ARE HEADED FOR PERDITION IF THEY DON’T MAKE PERSISTENT EFFORT TO CALM THEMSELVES DOWN AND PRACTICE CONSTANCY WITHOUT STRETCHING SYLLABLES.
Why It Is Difficult:
Why is it easier for you to appreciate the pitch changing when you blow faster at a same forcefulness into a flute than if you were to blow faster whilst you stretch a syllable?
The reason is when you stretch your syllable you are trying to consciously do three things at once whilst if you just blow into a flute you are doing only two things at once.
In order to consciously blow or exhale faster whilst you are stretching a syllable you must simultaneously pay attention to stretch your syllable, pay attention to increase the speed of your exhalation and also pay attention to observe the change in sound quality, something which is physically impossible and so you have to rapidly switch attention in order that everything does not unravel.
Because the flute takes care of making the note for you, you only have to pay attention to blow faster and pay attention to any sound change that result.
Therefore blowing into the flute (or referee whistle) is easier test to perform in order to experience pitch or frequency and loudness changes that result from exhaling faster and harder respectively.
Listen:
Listen to the way people everywhere speak and if you think they occasionally or frequently change speed or loudness you are defective in discernment because every syllable is stretched to greater or lesser extent and whenever they stretch their syllables they always forcefully change speed or loudness.
And the only way anyone can change speed or loudness within a syllable is to exhale with increasing speed or force wasting energy to create stress on his mind and vocal apparatus and induce restlessness and distraction.
Does the truth of what I say above depend on whether I am the counselor or not, whether I am not as high standing as I think I am or I am hypercritical or hypocritical? If you are better at me at detecting stretching of syllables, changing speed and loudness and how they lead to stress, restlessness and distraction, you will see through the true natures of others better than me, if you are better than me at practicing not stretching syllables, not changing speed and loudness you will experience less stress, restlessness and distraction than me so why accuse me of not being as high standing as I think and hypercritical?
Even if you cannot see he is putting on a show or acting and you think I am hypercritical, the man in the picture is posing or acting and displaying conflict. He is turning his head stressfully to face the camera to greet viewers whilst crossing his right leg away to hold back and digging his hands into his pockets with more force than is in truth necessary because there is bodily and mental tension and he is forcing himself to go against himself to be nice or act casually confident to impress onlookers.
The least stressful posture that is impossible for him and all actors to adopt because their mental forcefulness and sense of style do not permit is to stand upright without propping forward his chest to face the camera without smiling or grimacing, without crossing the legs and with his hands possibly in the pockets without force or tension or clenching.
Does what I say above depend on my integrity? Can any fake saying the things I or Jesus or the Buddha says? If what I say is true that he is creating stress, restlessness and distraction for himself and others to whom he can transmit his stress, restlessness and distraction to and you are color blind to what I am speaking about, you must remain in his world not to enjoy yourself but to suffer and even get your throat cut by this world of cutthroats and the next time you are back as a human there may be no consciousness changes to make life that much easier.
You may feel emotionally superior in your being non-judgmental at his behavior but if his behavior causes tension, restlessness and distraction in him that can rise to tormenting levels, your non-judgmental attitude may maintain him in his suffering and rather than merit you may be destined to return here through a circuitous route to continue your non-judgmentalism until a day if ever it awakens in you your attitude is neither good for yourself or him.
Quote: Outsourcing to earn India $60 billion.
Comment: $60 billion of what? $60 billion of US dollars that are intrinsically worthless pieces of paper that the world foolishly values without consideration that it may be worth nothing if the issuer defaults. So long as they keep accepting these worthless pieces of paper so long will they be conned they are making so much money and the US think they are more wealthy than they think. India thinks it has made so much money and America thinks it has so much money to spend when there is nothing at all and if you add $60 billion that India earned and $60 billion America spent, you might think this world has $120 billion that is not there.
Jury Convicts:
Just because the jury convicted the criminal in the Falconio trial does not mean they are wiser than the prosecutor.
There are stories that the convicted man kidnapped, tied up and raped a mother and daughter but then many men and even women share this fantasy. He allegedly said the police was looking for me, which is not surprising considering he is a simpleton aware of his sexual urges/ deeds and have been told by associates he looked like the person in the identikit pictures.
Whatever the verdict, one faux pas or ‘howler’ remains unanswered. The couple’s van was found much later suggesting it is quite far from the site and a police site said it was found about 2 km from the scene.
What I ask is how could a lone gunman abandon his vehicle with the girl and body at the scene to drive the couple’s van 2 km away when he must walk back in the apparent pitch darkness?
She claimed that the gunman used her jacket to cover Falconio’s head so that no blood leaked is far fetched if not impossible. No matter how well covered there must be traces of blood in the couple’s van or the gunman’s 4WD.
UNLESS THE COUPLE’S VAN WAS FOUND AT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME, IT IS HARD IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN HOW ANY LONE GUNMAN CAN CARRY IT OUT. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BUT YOU MAY BE PRESUMPTUOUS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT THAT DUMB.
