Like Precludes Love

Like Precludes Love:
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON WHO LIKES TO LOVE. LOVE IS ABSENT IN HIM.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON WHO LOVES TO LIKE. LIKE IS ABSENT IN HIM.
ORDINARY PEOPLE ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY LIKE OR DISLIKE WHAT THEY PERCEIVE. BECAUSE LIKE AND DISLIKE ARE IMMEDIATE BLIND FORCE REACTIONS TO PERCEIVING SOMEONE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THAT PERSON TO AT THE SAME TIME EXPERIENCE LOVE WHICH IS FORCE FREE & TOTALLY HARM FREE SEEING OR REASONING CONCERN AND CARING FOR THE PERCEIVED PERSON. ONCE A MIND IS OCCUPIED BY BLIND FORCE (LIKING & DISLIKING) IT CANNOT ALSO BE NOT OCCUPIED BY FORCE AND SEEING OR REASONING THAT IS A REQUISITE FOR LOVING. BECAUSE NO ONE CAN SOMETIMES SWITCH OFF HIS LIKE AND DISLIKE TO LOVE AND SOMETIMES SWITCH OFF HIS LOVE TO LIKE, A PERSON WHO LIKES CANNOT LOVE.
THE REASON WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY CAN BOTH LIKE AND LOVE IS BECAUSE WHAT THEY CALL LOVE CAN BE PROVEN OBJECTIVELY TO BE LIKE OR PASSION.
Because liking is the blind or unreasoning immediate undulating rise and fall of one’s mental force on perceiving a desired person it immediately occupies the mind preventing passive (always) reasoned or comprehending or seeing harm and force free love from arising.
Until you are able to see & hear another person without causing undulating rising and falling changes in the speed and strength of your mental force, until you are able to speak to, do things to and touch another person without stretching, changing the speed and strength of force or loudness of your speech and motion you cannot LOVE the other person, you cannot impart untainted bliss to another person. You are merely indulging in LIKING another person.
The reason is because rising and falling speed and strength of your mental force can be imparted to the other person and causes both you and the other person to experience rising stress, restlessness and distraction, harms yourself and the other person and therefore you cannot truly love or benefit or give the other person unalloyed bliss except in the wrong view or delusion you can.
Anyone who touches another person, no matter how gently or tenderly he may contrive, if there are in truth constant changes in speed and strength will cause the other person’s mental force to change in speed and strength giving rise to stress, restlessness and distraction no matter how he may foolishly appreciate or like the sensuality of the touching.
Anyone who stares at another person, no matter how lovingly he may insist his stare is, will impart the force in his ‘loving’ stare on his target that must create stress, create restlessness and distraction in him and the recipient that is never true love but is always just a liking for the other person.
Because all ordinary people like, they undulate the speed and strength of their mental force when they ‘love’ another, they cannot truly love; they do not know what true love (which exists) is like.
The reason why people often interchange love and like and sometimes they cannot tell whether it is like or love they are experiencing is because like is faked love, is a substitute for love that they have learnt to accept and dish out. Thus what is a forgery of love, like cannot coexist with love, disqualifies or displaces true love that ordinary people who are forceful have not experienced.
THEREFORE IF LIKING AND DISLIKING IS PRESENT IN YOU, YOU CANNOT KNOW WHAT TRUE LOVE IS AND IT DISQUALIFIES YOU FROM LOVING, YOU HAVE WRONG EMOTIONAL VIEW IF YOU THINK YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT ‘IRRESISTIBLE’ LOVER. YOU CAN ONLY BE IRRESISTIBLE IF THERE IS IRRATIONAL OR BLIND FORCE IN YOUR ‘LOVE’ OR OTHERS ARE FORCEFULLY ATTRACTED TO OR LIKE YOU BASED ON PHYSICAL FACTORS.
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF NOT LIKING AND DISLIKING AND PAYING ATTENTION TO STOP STRETCHING SYLLABLES, STOP CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS FOR THEY ARE CRUCIAL TO LEARNING HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
Speaking as a person who has successfully quit liking and disliking (and without any inclination to revert to them anymore than a man who has vomited out poison will return to the poison), I know that like and love can never be mistaken one for the other just as good can never be mistaken for bad and they are mutually incompatible, cannot coexist, what people call love is being nice and liking each other and love is incomparably blissful to self and the other person, never leaves an aftertaste of stress, restlessness and daze. If you think you can both like and love, you may be right or deluded. Can you tell precisely when it is you are liking and when it is you are loving? If you cannot, you do not know what you are experiencing, you do not know what you are talking about.
What Increasingly Lifelike Robots Means:
THAT ROBOTS ARE GETTING INCREASINGLY LIFELIKE SUGGESTS THAT YOU DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE HUMAN TO BEHAVE LIKE HUMANS DO BECAUSE ROBOTS WITHOUT CONSCIOUSNESS CAN INCREASINGLY IMITATE HUMANS. HUMANS MAY BE NOTHING MORE THAN SOPHISTICATED BIOLOGICAL ROBOTS, OVERRATED VOYEURS AND DISC JOCKEYS OPERATING BY ROTE OR FAKED LIVE FROM MENTAL JUKEBOXES BUT THIS IS NOT REASON FOR CYNICISM (WRONG VIEW) BUT EVEN THOUGH THIS ROBOTIC MODE OF EXISTENCE IS UNIVERSAL ON EARTH, IT IS NOT INEVITABLE, THERE IS AS THE BUDDHA SAID A HIGHER LIFE WITH A HIGHER REASONED PURPOSE.
This mannequin like robot I saw on TV yesterday was dressed like a female receptionist and endowed with a face that was capable of moving or expressing just like the human face can. She nodded as if acknowledging or understanding the question being asked (she is faking it), she blinked, smiled, rotated and bent her head and hands as if she was alive just as humans do as she fielded questions posed by a reporter.
I think there now exists vehicles, even cars that can steer, brake and drive autonomously without any remote human guidance over a variety of terrains including inclines to safely reach a destination. Therefore you do not need higher cerebral functions or consciousness to drive a car but just knee jerk reactions and even a robotic car can drive itself.
The Honda dancing and trumpet playing robot may give an uncanny impression that it is alive because it seems to be enjoying or liking its playing because there is arch like stretching, rising and falling changes in speed and strength of force programmed into its dancing and trumpet playing motions that ordinary people have been conditioned to perceive as liking or enjoying and therefore they are deceived the robot is alive because it seems to be enjoying or liking its music.
Just as you can record many tunes and videos into a computer hard disk and it will play them back with fidelity each time, all you need is a being with consciousness to decide which tune or sequence of tunes and to change tracks, in the same way, although in theory humans can choose to say or do something live for the occasion at hand, in practice when confronted with a situation at hand, they all (not some) merely act as voyeurs and disc jockeys deciding on which tune or combination of tunes from a vast repertoire that they have committed to memory by regular practice is appropriate for playback, to repeat or cut off as required.
For one who sees correctly the simultaneous substance and style combo that is constantly present in people’s speech and movements cannot be rendered live but must be memorized, learnt by imitating others. The way ordinary people see, hear, smell, taste and touch always have a style that is characteristic of the person that is rendered without thinking by rote and what they see, hear, smell, taste and touch too have a style or predilection depending on that person’s likes and dislikes (eg a lusty man is always on the lookout for girls whilst a thief is always looking for opportunity and valuables to steal).
THEREFORE THE ENTIRE BEING OF ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE, COMPRISING WHATEVER AND HOWEVER THEY PERCEIVE, THINK, SPEAK AND MOVE HAS A COMBO OF SIMULTANEOUS SUBSTANCE AND STYLE THAT MUST BE RENDERED BY REHASH FROM THEIR MENTAL JUKEBOXES, THEY THEREFORE CANNOT PERCEIVE WHAT IS HAPPENING AS IT IS AND CANNOT RESPOND LIVE TO THAT EVENT BUT BY STANDARDIZED ROTE OR FAKED LIVE AND THEY CANNOT SEE AND KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING OR THE TRUTH.
Japan, with its particularly regimented social structure is unsurprisingly fascinated with and at the forefront of robot research and the advancing life like sophistry in humanoid robots is unequivocal evidence that machines devoid of consciousness can be programmed to carry out sophisticated speech and sequence of actions in response to environmental stimuli as if they are alive or intelligent or thinking.
An implication of robot behavior that increasingly resemble human behavior is that human speech and actions do not necessarily require consciousness (since there is no consciousness or attention in robots) or reasoning, do not necessarily require seeing or hearing things as they actually happened but merely require the recognition of patterns or cues in what is seen and heard and do not require speech or motion that is freshly composed for the occasion but an approximate preprogrammed response that appears appropriate suffices and may fool undiscerning observers to think it is a live specific to the occasion response.
A robot does not and cannot see or hear what is actually or exactly happening but it is only instructed by programmers to detect sight and sound patterns or cues that it needs to enable it to select an appropriate prerecorded response for that situation. A robot cannot detect patterns or cues that it is not programmed for, it cannot respond in ways it has not been programmed for. For instance in order to avoid bumping into objects, the robot merely senses through ultrasound or radar reflections that there is an obstacle say three feet away at 30 degrees from midline. Unless programmed, it may not detect objects further away nor can it tell whether the object is a sofa or stone column. Therefore even though the robot may fool gullible observers that it seems alive, intelligently aware of the presence of an obstacle and took successful evasive action, it did not see the truth, did not see what the object was or anything else present in the room that was beyond its range. You may think it saw the obstacle but it saw nothing beyond radar reflections that gave it information on the distance and direction of an obstacle to enable it to take evasive action.
Ideally, a person should see and understand in its entirety whatever that is actually happening or said to him on a particular occasion so that he can make a live specific response in speech or action but in reality, all ordinary people only intermittently sample the situation intermittently not necessarily for the truth what is actually happening but for patterns of information or cues that will enable them to make a decision as to what speech or action from their mental jukeboxes to playback.
ROBOTS ARE NOT AND CANNOT BE INTERESTED IN WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING AROUND THEM BUT THEY HAVE ONLY BEEN INSTRUCTED BY THEIR PROGRAMMERS TO LOOK OUT FOR PATTERNS OR CUES IN WHAT THEY PERCEIVE TO ENABLE THEM TO CARRY OUT WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN PROGRAMED TO EG AVOID OBSTACLES. IT MAY APPEAR TO BE ALIVE, INTELLIGENT AND UNCANNILY SEEING AND AVOIDING OBSTACLES BUT WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IS THAT ITS RADAR TELLS IT THE DISTANCE AND DIRECTION OF WHAT CONSTITUTES AN OBSTACLE.
IN THE SAME WAY, HUMAN ROBOTS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING OR THE TRUTH BUT THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN ASPECTS THAT CONFORM TO THEIR LIKES AND DISLIKES OR BASIC SELF SERVING PURPOSES THAT IS SUFFICIENT FOR THEM TO MAKE DECISIONS AS TO WHAT APPROPRIATE SPEECH OR ACTION TO INITIATE.
ROBOTS CANNOT AND DO NOT RESPOND SPECIFIC TO THE OCCASION AT HAND ALTHOUGH THEY MAY GIVE AN ILLUSION THEY DO SO. INSTEAD THEY CANNOT DETECT PATTERNS AND CUES THAT THEY ARE NOT PROGRAMMED TO DETECT, THEY CANNOT INITIATE COURSES OF ACTION OR SPEECH THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PROGRAMMED TO CARRY OUT.
IN THE SAME WAY HUMAN ROBOTS MAY APPEAR TO RESPOND IN SPEECH AND ACTION SPECIFICALLY TO THE SITUATION AT HAND BUT IT IS AN ILLUSION, THEY CAN BE STUMPED TO NOT DETECT PATTERNS OR CUES THEY HAVE NOT PROGRAMMED THEMSELVES TO DETECT (EG STRETCHING OF THEIR SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS OF THEIR SPEECH), THEY CANNOT RESPOND TO THE SITUATION AT HAND IN A WAY THAT THEY HAVE NOT PROGRAMMED THEMSELVES TO (FOR INSTANCE A WOMAN WHO HAS LEARNT OR PROGRAMMED HERSELF TO BEHAVE SEDUCTIVELY WILL BECOME FLUSTERED IN BED BECAUSE SHE HAS NOT PROGRAMMED HERSELF TO PERFORM IN BED, SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO ACT IN BED).
THUS IF A PERSON’S MOTIVES IN LIFE IS LITTLE OR NOTHING MORE THAN SURVIVAL AND TO SATISFY HIS LIKES AND AVOIDING HIS DISLIKES (NO MATTER HOW HE MIGHT DELUDE HIMSELF AND OTHERS HOW NOBLE HIS IDEALS ARE) THEN HE HAS NO NEED FOR OR INTEREST IN SEEING THINGS AS THEY ACTUALLY ARE IN THEIR ENTIRETY OR SEEING THE TRUTH BUT HE ONLY NEEDS TO SEE IN SNAPSHOTS PATTERNS OR CUES OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS THAT IS SUFFICIENT TO ENABLE HIM TO SATISFY HIS LIKES (EG STEALING OR LUST) & AVOID HIS DISLIKES AND FOR HIM TO SURVIVE. WHO SAYS YOU NEED TO SEE THINGS AS THEY ACTUALLY HAPPEN TO SURVIVE?
ORDINARY PEOPLE ALWAYS SPEAK AND DO THINGS WITH ACOMPANYING STYLE THAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN THEIR INDIVIDUALIZED WAYS OF STRETCHING THEIR SYLLABLES OR TWISTING/CURVING UNITS OF MOTION, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT CAN NEVER BE PERFORMED LIVE SPECIFIC FOR THE OCCASION BUT THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE COMBO MUST BE COMMITTED TO MEMORY TO BE TRIGGERED BY COMMAND IN RESPONSE TO A SITUATION. THIS IS BEHAVING LIKE A ROBOT AND IT IS BECAUSE HUMAN ROBOTS ARE MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED, ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE THEMSELVES ROBOTS THAT THEY FAIL TO SEE THAT THEY THEMSELVES AND EVERYONE AROUND THEM ARE MERELY OVERRATED ROBOTS. (If ordinary people observe themselves they will surely catch themselves regularly having the urge to say or do silly things that are out of context reflecting early intermittent mad jukebox or rote behavior that will descend into final mad rote behavior if they do not practice to stop their substance and style rote behavior.)
JUST AS SOPHISTICATED COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY CAN FOOL THE UNSUSPECTING THAT IT IS GENUINE, PEOPLE WHO ARE THEMSELVES UNWITTING ROBOTS CAN BE FOOLED THAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH REAL PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE DEALING WITH SOPHISTICATED BIOLGICAL ROBOTS CONSTANTLY (NOT FREQUENTLY) OPERATING BY REGURGITATION FROM MENTAL JUKEBOXES WHEN THEY CAN BE LIVE BEINGS RESPONDING SPECIFICALLY TO EVERY SITUATION THAT ARISES.
AN IMPORTANT REASON WHY PEOPLE CANNOT SEE THEMSELVES STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS EVEN WHEN IT IS BLATANT AND CONSTANT IS BECAUSE WHAT THEY SEE OR AND THE WAY THEY SEE IS PROGRAMMED AND THEY HAVE NOT PROGRAMMED THEMSELVES TO SEE THEMSELVES AND OTHERS STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND WHAT THEY HAVE NOT PROGRAMMED THEMSELVES TO SEE, THEY CANNOT SEE.
AN IMPORTANT REASON WHY PEOPLE NEED TO REHEARSE THINGS THEY HAVE NEVER DONE (EG THEIR MARRIAGE CEREMONY), THEY GET FLUSTERED AND EVEN CRIPPLED WITH PERFORMANCE ANXIETY SAYING OR DOING THINGS THEY HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE EG SPEAK PUBLICLY OR ACTING LIKE A DOCTOR IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ROTE ACTORS WHO NEED TO PROGRAM THEMSELVES FIRST TO SAY OR DO THOSE THINGS (EG HOW TO ACT LIKE A FATHER OR HUSBAND), THEY NEED TO PRACTICE MANY TIMES BEING A FATHER OR HUSBAND BEFORE THEY FEEL CONFIDENT TO REGURGITATE IT OUT AS IF THEY ARE GENUINE FATHERS WHEN THEY ARE PAINFULLY FAKING IT BY ROTE ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY THINK SOCIETY EXPECTS THEM AND BY COPYING THEIR FATHERS OR PEERS.
Why People Cannot See & Know The Truth:
Jesus implies this world cannot see and know the truth when he spoke of the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it (this world) neither sees him (who personifies truth) nor knows him and he also said of people that ‘seeing they do not see (what actually happens or the truth), hearing they do not hear (what actually happens or the truth)’. The Buddha said the truth (what actually happens) is not easily seen and it is hard (for ordinary people) to see the truth.
Therefore what I say is not without precedent and if you accuse me of arrogance (as if only I can see and know the truth), you slander me because I speak calmly and clearly without emotion because I can see and know that people cannot see and know the truth.
I see and know the truth and I can see and know that there are no other ways to see or know the truth except through the way with which I see and know it which does not belong to me or anyone but it is the universal and ONLY way to see or know the truth and because I see that all ordinary people see things in ways that are significantly different from me, they struggle, take issue and cannot see and understand or misapprehend what I say to them, I see and know that they cannot and do not see the truth.
As Sariputta, the Buddha’s deputy said, truth and deliverance from suffering is like a fortress with only one entrance guarded by a vigilant sentinel and whoever enters the fortress of truth must enter through this only entrance with the approval of the competent sentinel. This entrance does not belong to me or the Buddha or anyone.









If you cannot see that the person above is quietly acting or putting on a show, you cannot see the truth or what is actually happening. There is a faint smile and expressed eagerness or liking in his stared or forceful way he sees, not directly but dishonestly through the side of his eyes (an honest or unstylish person looks straight on), there is acting in his propping up his chin with force that can be objectively proven to be more than is necessary (I can prop up my chin just like he is doing but without style by using significantly less force) and with a (masculine) style. If you cannot see that there is excessive force and masculine style in his propping up his chin, it is not that his head needs propping but he is propping it up to convey a certain image of for example thoughtfulness, then you cannot see the truth. Unless you are speaking or eating, it is most economical and easeful to keep one’s mouth restfully passively shut, it requires energy and is for show to leave one’s mouth open to express perhaps your friendliness, eagerness or interest.
People who act or all ordinary people cannot see or know what actually happened or the truth for four major reasons.
Their resident stress, restlessness and distraction permanently render out of focus their consciousness state to make it impossible for them to see and know the truth. They are beset by serious permanent baseline stress, restlessness and distraction that is continuously being created by their constant forceful stretching, changes in speed and strength of force of their perceiving, thinking, saying and doing things to be unable to focus their consciousness that is a requisite to seeing things as they are or truth.
Ordinary people always instantly like or dislike whatever they see, hear, smell, taste or touch. Because like and dislike are nothing more than automatic blind or unseeing force reactions to whatever is happening, they cannot at the same time also force free with reason or comprehension see what is actually happening or see or know the truth. Because like and dislike are blind forceful reactions to events, they prevent the person at the same time free from force calm and clear see and know with reason what is actually happening.
You can perceive, think, speak and conduct yourself live specific for the occasion at hand or you can perceive, think, speak and conduct yourself as preprogrammed and rehashed rendition from a mental jukebox. Anyone who operates from a mental jukebox cannot see and know the truth because he is not in constant contact with reality but he lives in a private make believe or false world from which he only intermittently sample reality or what is happening around him for patterns or cues to enable him to initiate appropriate approximate standardized responses.
They hate true truth and even when true truth appears before them they try very hard not to see it. They are kidding themselves if they think they love the truth because they have killed true truth and the truth they love is a fake of truth.
THEIR RESIDENT MENTAL FORCE REPELS TRUTH & REASON JUST AS WATER AND OIL CANNOT MIX. THEY HAVE AN UNCONSCIOUS ATTITUDE OF HATING & REFUSING TO SEE THE TRUTH AND THEREFORE CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH, CANNOT REASON TRULY.
All ordinary people appreciate jokes or try to be funny or see the funny side of life. Even when they do something serious like teaching others how a TV works, they try to teach it in a humorous way that is discounting the truth that they believe in delusion will make their audience remember better. Appreciating jokes is nothing more than appreciating absurdity (or falsity) or laughing at the misfortune of others. It is wrong view that you can choose to at times appreciate falsity (joking and humor) and at times appreciate truth. A person who loves the truth cannot appreciate humor or jokes and a person who likes to joke or be humorous is always discounting reality and can never truly appreciate truth, the truths that he thinks he appreciates can be proven to be counterfeit truths.
Appreciating jokes and trying to be funny is an attitude or mindset and therefore all ordinary people who all appreciate or like jokes have a mindset of appreciating or like falsity that precludes or disqualifies them seeing and knowing the truth. This is the reason why there is not even one joke in the bible or what the Buddha preached.
One supposed truth that people accept without awareness is the statement “I cannot imagine what it is like for my parents (on learning about my cancer)”. If by saying so she is conveying that what happened is so terrible for her parents she cannot imagine what it is like for them then she is contradicting herself, saying something is false because what she says implies she can imagine that it was so terrible for them so how can she say she cannot imagine what it is like for them?
If you and ordinary people can appreciate truth how come you did not realize by yourself the statement is untenable?
It may be another instance again of unwarranted assumption or folly to think that despite failing to see the truth in the instance quoted above, it was a blip, you were not paying attention (this is an excuse not reason, if you read without paying attention then you are acknowledging you are a rote reader, reading without comprehending) you are nevertheless able to see the truth ‘where it counts’ because the truth that you think you can see ‘where it counts’ may be just the same make believe truth as above or a delusion that is commonly shared by all humanity that if subjected to objective analysis by me may be proven to be equally untenable.
You may think you have spoken the truth when you say with a smile, stretched syllables and speed and loudness changes, “Well, I was sarcastic then” but it is a grudging or disliked reluctant admission of guilt and therefore a discounted not true total acknowledgement of the truth that you were sarcastic.
The truth in “I cannot imagine what it was like for them” is more apparent than real because surely the person can imagine to some extent what it was like for her parents. It is again false to say “A saree is anything but a square piece of cloth” because whatever else a saree might be it is still a square piece of cloth and there are many things a saree cannot be.
Below are examples of what people call and accept as truth but can be reasoned objectively by me to be forgeries of truth or make belief truth.
Quote: Shock for Houdini the python who swallows electric blanket.
Quote: Earth splitter: Scientists watch a future ocean take shape in Ethiopia.
You may satisfy yourself that you have spoken the truth or heard the truth when you spoke or read the above BBC headlines but you may be kidding yourself and have no eye for truth.
The pet python swallowed an electric blanket but was not shocked but needed surgery to remove it. Therefore the headline is sensationalizing and misleading and not true.
To call a serious long crack in the earth that developed after a recent earthquake an earth splitter is disingenuous, disrespectful, not treating the matter with the dignity it deserves. It may sound funny to you but if you are killed by an ‘earth splitter’ you will not find it so funny. A more respectful headline would be: The earth splits. Scientists watch a future ocean take shape. It is unlikely to be an accident but reflects the attitude of the writer to say ‘earth splitter’ to trivialize or make funny everything he says or sees.
Before you can know truth you must first be able to see truth or what actually happened that provides the basis for you to reason out or know the truth in other areas where you cannot see what is happening or have no direct access to the truth. Because people have never seen things as they actually happen, they always see things as they like or dislike it, they have no idea of what actually happens or truth to provide a yardstick to know or reason out truth in other occasions.
From faulty premises and logic come faulty conclusions. If you accept your faulty assumptions as correct then your conclusions are also correct but if your assumptions are incorrect then the conclusion is also incorrect.
For instance the statement ‘I smile because I like someone’ can be perceived as correct because as a result of experiencing undulating changes in speed and strength in his mental force upon seeing someone with liking, he is irresistibly driven to move his facial muscles in a similar fashion with undulating changes in speed and strength of force of contraction to smile. But if you see that liking is false, has no reason but it is a blind undulating rise and fall of the strength and speed of one’s mental force that stresses the mind inciting smiling that also stresses the other person, then liking is not a reason for smiling but it is the case of one falsity and delusion (that mindless, stressful liking is good) leading to another falsity and delusion (therefore my smiling is genuine, good for me and others).
What people call their reasoning are merely their memorized beliefs with which they match what is happening to and their faulty often idiosyncratic methodologies of arriving at conclusions that society, their parents, peers and teachers indoctrinate in them plus whatever they can concoct in how to think by themselves. Thus if you have rudimentary atrophied (from disuse) reasoning or rote reasoning implanted by society, you lack the true reasoning that is indispensable to KNOW the truth.
One must not make the mistake of confusing thinking with reasoning. People think a lot, they think nonstop in a forceful or emotional manner always with a combination of substance and false style but when they think they are mostly daydreaming or arguing with themselves in a dingdong fashion, they seldom if ever reason using the tools of logic to work out what actually happen or the truth of the matter, even if they tried to, their tools of logic are faulty.
Can robots see and know the truth? Do robots need to know the truth or what is true in order to function eg weld a car together? Robots are merely programmed to do or say certain things in response to certain environmental cues, to mimic as if they have life or reason by responding with a choice of preprogrammed reactions. In truth ordinary people are such sophisticated robots they fool themselves that they are real people (I speak in truth not sarcasm or denigration), they have been programmed in a much more sophisticated manner by society and themselves to say or do certain things in certain situations and they can go about throughout their lives without ever having to summon their reasoning or ability to work what is true and false (which may never exist in many people, even those who are in high positions).
This may be the reason why even today, despite changes upon changes, people are unaware there are constant stretching of their syllables, constant changes in speed and loudness of their speech because the ways they speak was learnt by mindless imitation of others or mimicry and produced without thinking by rote from their mental jukeboxes and even after I have demonstrated to them how they change speed and loudness, they lapse back to their rote mindless jukebox rendition that require no reasoning or seeing the truth. That people lapse repeatedly into constant stretching, changing of speed and loudness is a sign that they are robots or more precisely overrated disc jockeys operating mental jukeboxes.
***
Truth is whatever that has happened irrespective of whether you liked it or not, whether it is good or bad, beneficial or harmful, pleasant or ugly, genuine or faked.
If something is present and you cannot see it then you have faulty or defective discernment. For instance if there are constant stretching of the syllables, changes in speed and loudness in your speech and that of everyone else’s and you cannot see them, then you have faulty discernment and wrong view or cannot see the truth.
THE BUDDHA SPOKE OF ENLIGHTENMENT AS AWAKENING THAT IMPLIES THAT THOSE WHO ARE NOT ENLIGHTENED ARE ASLEEP IN IGNORANCE & FALSITY (YOU CANNOT BE ASLEEP WITH TRUTH OTHERWISE WHY WAKE UP?) THAT CANNOT BE PARTIAL BUT MUST BE TOTAL BECAUSE ANYONE WHO CAN SEE THE TRUTH WILL NOT TOLERATE OR COUNTENANCE FALSITY WHICH IS ALWAYS FORCEFUL AND TORMENTING AND THEREFORE ORDINARY PEOPLE CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH.
In her emotional haste to exaggerate how wonderful her parents are, how intense they felt for her plight (something that she cannot know for certain, Kylie Minogue said something that did not and cannot happen that she cannot imagine what it must be like for her parents. The fact that she speaks of imagining what it is like for them suggests she can imagine however poorly (and probably she has quite a good idea) what it is like for them and therefore her statement that she cannot imagine what it is like for them is false, intended to convey falsely how terrible it is. Every time you emotionally forcefully say you cannot do something (eg imagine) when you can, you are reinforcing the falsity not realizing that one day you will lose control of your deceit to totally cannot imagine and that is insanity.
The Buddha: Heedfulness is the path to the Deathless. Heedlessness is the path to death. The heedful die not. The heedless are as if dead already.
Many think the Buddha is referring to others but he may be referring to you. If you are little or nothing more than a sophisticated biological robot then you are already like the dead, only waiting for your time to die to come.
INVIDIOUS SOCIAL PRESSURES TO HOLD VIEWS:
There is actually a lot of social pressure often unconscious to hold opinions or views on all sorts of matters from the trivial to the serious such that the individual is forced or feel oblige to formulate and express views or opinions on various matters eg current affairs, fashion, cars, music, sports, etc.
Even if the person does not think much of his views on these matters that he has forced himself to hold and express, with repetition he becomes increasingly hooked to his opinions that were initially formulated with insufficient knowledge based on hearsay that he is unwarranted to hold so that increasingly he believes they are true and will defend when challenged.
Further by being forced by a combination of social pressures and self pressure (to impress others how knowledgeable you are), to always proffer opinions or views, you are addicting yourself to mindlessly, compulsively hold views on every subject that comes to your attention and this is a form of self identity views that the Buddha said is a fetter to future states of woe, not heaven.
THERE IS A LOT OF SOCIAL PRESSURE FOR A PERSON TO HOLD OPINIONS OR VIEWS ON EVERY SUBJECT (EG CLOTHINGS, APPLIANCES, CARS OR FOOD FASHIONS) FOR APPEARANCES SAKE AND NO MATTER HOW UNATTACHED ONE IS INITIALLY TO THESE OPINIONS, IN TIME AND REPETITION, ONE BECOMES CONDITIONED TO BELIEVE THEM SO THAT ONE IS ENGULFED IN A MASS OF WRONG VIEWS, CONFUSED AND IN DOUBT. THUS THOSE WHO PRESSURE OTHERS TO HAVE OPINIONS HAVE KARMA & SOCIETY HAS COLLECTIVE KARMA. NOT ONLY IS THE FOOLISH PERSON CONDITIONED BY PEERS TO HOLD OPINIONS ON VARIOUS MATTERS, BUT BY FREQUENTLY BEING FORCED TO VENTURE OPINIONS ON SUBJECTS HE IS UNWITTINGLY CONDITIONING HIMSELF TO FEEL EMOTIONALLY NOT OK IF HE DID NOT HAVE ANY VIEWS OR OPINIONS ON ANY MATTER OR BECOME ADDICTED TO FORMING OPINIONS AND THIS IS AT THE CORE OF THE FALSE SELF IDENTITY VIEW THAT ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA IS ONE OF THREE LOWER FETTERS TO FUTURE STATES OF WOE. FURTHER THE OPINIONS THAT SOCIETY FOSTERS IN ITS INDIVIDUALS ARE BY AND LARGE IF NOT ENTIRELY WRONG (CAN BE PROVEN BY REASON TO BE FALSE) AND AGAINST THE DIVINE VIEW.
TASTE IT FOR YOURSELF:
THERE IS NO POINT BEING A COWHERD IF YOU HAVE NO COWS OF YOUR OWN AND YOU ARE CONSTANTLY ENVIOUSLY & JEALOUSLY COUNTING OTHER PEOPLE’S COWS.
IT IS FRUITLESS AND VEXATIOUS TALKING ABOUT THE FINER POINTS OR SUBTLETIES OF TRUTH AND GOODNESS AND HOW YOU ARE DEVOTED TO THEM. TASTE TRUE TRUTH AND GOODNESS FOR YOURSELF AND EVERYTHING WILL FALL INTO PLACE AND YOU WILL STOP ARGUING WITH ME.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IS MEANT BY STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS WHEN SPEAKING?
CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF AND OTHERS CONSTANTLY STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS? IF YOU CANNOT SEE OR CANNOT BE BOTHERED, NOTHING CAN BE DONE FOR YOU AND IF YOU ARE BESET BY STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION YOU JUST HAVE TO AWAIT THE VERDICT OF FATE WHAT IS IN STORE FOR YOU.
CAN YOU PAY ATTENTION TO TRY FOR A REASONABLE PERIOD NOT STRETCHING SYLLABLES, NOT CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS?
IF YOU HAVE TRULY SUCCEEDED IN NOT STRETCHING SYLLABLES, NOT CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS YOU WILL BE IMBUED BY A CALM CLARITY YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED AND YOU WILL THEN SEE THINGS CLEARLY AS YOU NEVER SAW BEFORE TO NOT ARGUE WITH ANYONE ANYMORE.
The Ten Fetters:
According to the Buddha, all beings that exist are bonded by ten fetters. There are 5 lower fetters and 5 higher fetters. All beings in this world are afflicted by the 10 fetters whilst beings in heaven are only afflicted by the higher 5 fetters.
The five lower fetters are self identity views (my body, my mind, my possessions, my views, my wife, my religion, my race, my country), faith in rites and precepts (acting from mental jukeboxes is always ritualistic and therefore all actors have faith in rituals and precepts, they practice rituals or ritualized or standardized ways of doing and saying things all the time), doubt and uncertainty (the doubt and uncertainty that the Buddha refers to is the same doubt and uncertainty people frivolously speak of or experience in their daily lives. Whether genuine or faked, each time you conjure doubt and uncertainty you are conditioning yourself to them, incite others to do so), ill will (they want to harm others, they are aggressive and forceful, they often disguise their ill will to think they have goodwill eg when they smile and say something with undulating changes in speed and strength of their mental forces they think they are good when they are harming themselves and others) and sensuality (they are emotionally attached, they like or experience undulating rise and fall of their mental forces when they see, hear, smell, taste or touch certain objects).
The five higher fetters are ignorance (with enlightenment one knows what everything is all about and cease to desire separate existence), restlessness (a passive desire for that which is changing which is what existence is about), conceit (basking in the glory of one’s being), attachment to forms (angels live in a formed heaven) and attachment to the formless (brahmas are higher, have no form and exist blissfully in a formless realm).
What the Buddha said above may be the only truth or what actually happens and is not negotiable; he will not alter what he said just because you do not like it. If you rubbish it and it turns out to be what actually happens, you have wrong view that is the way to hell or the animal womb not heaven.

The Gulf Between Truth & Seeing It

The Gulf Between Truth & Seeing It:
Truth is nothing more than what actually happened and whatever that can happen can only happen in one way (and no other way than the way it happened) whilst falsity is nothing more than what did not happen and whatever that did not happen can happen in many different ways depending on the whims and fancies of different people.
Right view is merely the SINGLE way in which one sees what actually happened that leads to the SINGLE expression in words or their synonyms in whatever language (eg Hindi or Chinese or English) that describes faithfully what actually happened. Wrong views are merely the MYRIAD differing ways in which one failed to see what actually happened or failed to express in words what actually happened.
Although truth is simply what really happened and right view is merely the (singular untainted) way of seeing what really happened and thus formulating in words to tell others what really happened on an occasion, although most ordinary people are endowed with perfectly working physical vision, in practice in this world (but not heaven) there is an almost insurmountable or unbridgable gulf between what is really happening or truth and seeing and thus telling what is really happening or the truth because the consciousness of all ordinary people are permanently blurred (but whose severity can fluctuate from moment to moment in any given person), rendered (hopelessly) out of focus by the incessant application of mental force on that consciousness that is constantly changing in direction, speed and strength both by themselves and by the actions of others that they come into contact with so that it is IMPOSSIBLE (except in the figment of their imagination that they can) for them to see what really happened or the truth clearly and therefore telling what really happened or the truth. In other words ordinary people are helpless slaves of falsity, of not seeing what really happened than masters of choosing not to see what really happened.
And on the occasions when ordinary people despite their considerable handicap of blurred vision of their consciousness nevertheless saw (with difficulty or effort) the truth (but only in a relative way) eg someone stealing something or saw themselves telling you a lie or giving you an excuse, they will not tell you the relative truth of what they saw but they will fabricate or tell you something else. Often people are not even aware that what they say is sarcastic, they mean the opposite of what they say, a sanitized way to say they have lied. How often have you heard people admit to themselves let alone to their victims that what they say is sarcastic or they have given an excuse? And even in the rare event they admit to themselves they have been sarcastic or proffered excuses, they always admit it in a way that subverts the truth that is not seeing and telling it unadulterated by thinking it is funny or harmless or a mistake, by saying or thinking of it in an emotional like (funny) or dislike (grudging admission) way. They may think that they have on those occasions seen and told the truth but it is an adulterated or emotional truth, not nothing but the truth that they saw and told.
AT BEST ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN ONLY SEE AND TELL THE RELATIVE NEVER ABSOLUTE TRUTH BECAUSE THEIR ENDEMIC MENTAL FORCEFULNESS OR EMOTIONS PREVENTS THEM FROM SEEING AND TELLING THE TRUTH PASSIVELY WITHOUT EMBELLISHMENTS.
How can people whose entire lives emcompassing whatever and however they perceive, think, speak and move has a simultaneous combo of substance and style that cannot be rendered live but must be rendered by faked live or rote from mental jukeboxes be ever capable of seeing things as they actually happen (see the truth) or to be able to reason live to work out and therefore to be able to tell live (not faked live by rote) what actually happened?
If you cannot see what actually happened, you cannot see the truth, how can you tell the truth or speak the truth?
If you think you can see the truth, can you see what is actually happening or depicted in the picture below?












If you think there is nothing unusual or wrong in the picture, she is behaving normally, being herself, a wonderful well adjusted person and being friendly and good to you and everyone when it may be the truth that she has a closet full of skeletons, she is even here using significant mental force in a manner that has constant rising and falling changes in speed and strength to falsely fabricate a complex expression of liking to be nice not good that is more than just her (false or faked) smile but includes her tilting and rotating her head and seeing dishonestly or slyly through the corner of her eyes and her putting her fingers to her mouth as if to convey tantalizing desire, then you did not see what actually happened or the truth even though you have a pair of eyes with good vision.
There is considerable universal social pressure to keep up with appearances or pretense not to see or say the truth out of a false sense of politeness or to get along in society such that with lifelong suppression the person comes to totally accept and fail to see the truth that she is faking it, putting on a show (as she always does to greater or lesser extent) rather than being true and being herself.
If you see that she is a wonderful well adjusted person who is being herself, being good to you and herself when the truth is the opposite, she is acting, stressfully putting on a show, manipulative, being falsely and harmfully nice never good to you and herself, then you did not see what really happened or the truth in the picture.
There is motive for her to falsely express liking at great cost in personal stress, restlessness and distraction because her livelihood, fame and wealth as a celebrity depends on making people like her. Thus if you cannot see that she is putting on a show (de facto prostituting herself like the rest of humanity) being nice to express liking and attractiveness so that others will be attracted to her, you may not be seeing what she is actually doing or seeing the truth.
Can you similarly read the truth or falsity as the case may be of what she is saying that I quote from an interview below?
That what I see of her in the picture is correct or right view is suggested by the similar widespread (not isolated) illogic or falsity that can be gleaned from the things she says and from my correct view her suffering intensely or shatteringly from breast cancer as she admits is no surprise or cruel misfortune but instead it is only one installment of what the Buddha says is suffering that is as vast as an ocean and as long as an eternity for people who have not developed an eye for the truth or the dharma and therefore behave accordingly.
She said she has a mountain to climb to return to normal but she is climbing the wrong mountain, she may fall to her death whilst climbing that mountain and even if she reached the summit she will have her heart broken and find death waiting. The mountain she should climb is the mountain to weed out emotion, to weed out constant stretching of syllables, changes of speed and loudness, to embrace and tell the truth.
Asked how she (Kylie Minogue) managed to talk her parents round, she replied: "Oh, it was not easy. That's a great understatement.” (It is not just not easy, not even just an understatement but it is a ‘great’ understatement, reflecting her emotional inability to let her yes be yes only but to perceive more, much more that comes from evil not good according to Jesus)
"I couldn't imagine what it was like for them.”
Comment: Surely she can imagine quite well if not very well what it was like for her parents to be ‘hit’ by the news of her breast cancer and therefore she is unconsciously lying to herself and others, wanting herself and others to believe in falsity that she could not imagine what it was like for them. It is false logic that she and those who accept what she says subscribe to that ‘she couldn’t imagine what it was like for them’ (they have learnt to turn a blind eye to the illogic of what is said) that will end in total mad logic in a situational crisis or old age. The true or logical statement is “I can imagine what it was like for them”. If you let your yes be yes only, you say without the ‘oh’ that “It was not easy”. It is always false to say it was not easy is a great understatement. How great can the understatement be? She herself subscribes to and wants you to similarly appreciate hyperbole, something that is not there, false and headed for insanity to believe it is a great understatement.





Again if you see a person who is being himself, laughing because he is truly happy you do not see what really happened or you do not see the truth. What really happened in truth is a person who is putting on a show to impress others perhaps with his sense of humor, confidence, faked happiness, who is often laughing at others’ misfortune, who is churning out even violent stress, restlessness and daze for himself that he must afterwards struggle to rein in whilst inciting others to falsely appreciate him, you see what really happened or the truth.
(My view as reflected above differs from the consensus view and therefore either I am correct or society is correct, either I or society has wrong view because we cannot be both correct. The Buddha said wrong view is deadly, leads even to hell or the animal womb; how can you be one with your Father in heaven if you have views that differ from your Father? Therefore either you are correct that such views are inconsequential if they turn out to be wrong or it may condemn you to even another eternity of habitations)
NOT ONLY CAN PEOPLE NOT SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AS DESCRIBED BY ME, THEY HATE OR DISLIKE TO SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED OR THE TRUTH IN THE PICTURE AND IN WHAT KYLIE SAID AS DESCRIBED BY ME. EVEN THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES GOOD AND INTELLIGENT HAVE AN AVERSION FOR SEEING KYLIE AND WHAT SHE SAID THE WAY I SAID IT, IS IT ANY SURPRISE THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH, SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, WHY SHE IS SUFFERING?
AS JESUS SAID, THEY HATED HIM (ON SIGHT) WITHOUT REASON (BECAUSE HE IS THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF TRUTH AND HE TOLD THEM THE TRUTH) AND BECAUSE YOU HATE (DISLIKED) THE TRUTH, YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH. ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE KIDDING THEMSELVES IF THEY THINK THEY LOVE TRUTH BECAUSE THEY HATE THE TRUTH, THEY HAVE BURNT THEIR BRIDGES TO TRUTH AND WHAT THEY TOUT AS THE TRUTH THEY LOVE CAN BE PROVEN TO BE MAKE BELIEVE OR SHAM TRUTH. THE REASON IS BECAUSE THEY CONSTANTLY FALSELY ACT TO DECEIVE, PLEASE, IMPRESS, INTIMIDATE AND DOMINATE OTHERS. IF YOU LOVE THE TRUTH, CAN SEE THE TRUTH HOW COME YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH THAT THERE ARE CONSTANT STRETCHING OF YOUR SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS OF YOUR SPEECH THAT IS CONSUMING PRODIGIOUS ENERGY TO CREATE INSOLUBLE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION NOT JUST IN YOURSELF BUT IN THOSE WHO HAVE THE MISFORTUNE TO INTERACT WITH YOU?
Proof That People Cannot See What Really Happened:
There is objective proof that cannot be disputed that people cannot see what really happened or see the truth.
As I have said many times before (no matter how slow or fast, loud or soft they speak) there are constant (not frequent) stretching of syllables, (multilayered) changes in speed and loudness in the speech of all ordinary people with their equivalents in their motion, thoughts and perceptions and far from meritorious or harmless, these consume prodigious unnecessary energy, constitute their individual styles and are the sources of the stress, restlessness and distraction that they must suffer from, that they induce in all who have contact with them, they are constantly conditioning their minds to stress, restlessness and distraction that have already warped their minds so that stress, restlessness and distraction can now arise rapidly to the slightest triggers to intense levels that they struggle to shake off and they are headed for mad stress, mad restlessness and mad distraction and if they think they are headed for heaven instead of eternal punishment, they may be great fools.
NO MATTER HOW YOU LIKE OR ARE ATTRACTED (NEVER LOVE) TO STRETCH YOUR SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS TO BE STYLISH, SINCE I HAVE ALERTED YOU, SURELY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE TRUTH AS THERE IS THAT THERE ARE CONSTANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS OF YOUR SPEECH AND THAT OF EVERYONE ELSE’S AND THEREFORE CAN DEMONSTRATE TO ME OR YOURSELF HOW DIFFERENT YOUR SPEECH WILL SOUND LIKE IF YOU DID NOT STRETCH YOUR SYLLABLES, DID NOT CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS.
BECAUSE THOSE WHO HAVE HEARD OR READ WHAT I SAID MANY TIMES, WHOM I HAVE PERSONALLY DEMONSTRATED HOW THEY STRETCH THEIR SYLLABLES, CHANGED SPEED AND LOUDNESS CONTINUE TO DO SO, CANNOT DEMONSTRATE FOR ONCE HOW THEIR SPEECH WILL SOUND LIKE WITHOUT STRETCHING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS, THEY CANNOT SEE THEMSELVES DOING SO, CANNOT SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN THEY SPEAK, CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH.
AND NOT STRETCHING SYLLABLES, NOT CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS (WITH THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN THEIR MOTION, THOUGHTS AND PERCEPTION) IS CRUCIAL TO SEEING THE TRUTH ELSEWHERE BECAUSE THEY INVOLVE THE UNNECESSARY APPLICATIONS OF FORCE ON THE MIND THAT DISTRACTS OR MAKES OUT OF FOCUS THE PERCEPTIONS OF THAT MIND SO THAT IT IS INCAPABLE OF FOCUSING AND SEEING WHAT REALLY HAPPENS EVEN IF IT WANTED.
Whenever people stretch their syllables, they also exhale with increasing speed that causes the speed or pitch of the syllable to increase (become shriller). Whenever people stretch their syllables, they also progressively increase the force with which they exhale causing the stretched syllable to rise in loudness. Some syllables within a word are stretched more, spoken louder and faster and there is a tendency to increase speed and loudness from the beginning to the end of the sentence. Often people make dramatic pauses in mid sentence not because they have run out of breath but to impress with their thoughtfulness.
JUST AS THEY CANNOT TELL THERE ARE CONSTANT STRETCHING, CONSTANT CHANGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE IN THEIR SPEECH, THOUGHTS, MOTION AND PERCEPTIONS, THEY CANNOT SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN THEY PERCEIVE THINGS, THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH IN WHAT THEY PERCEIVE AND THEY ARE DELUDING THEMSELVES THAT WHAT THEY SEE IS THE TRUTH WHEN THEY ARE FALSE SNAPSHOTS OF WHAT THEY FALSELY LIKED OR DISLIKED TO SEE.
IF EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD SEE THROUGH TINTED GLASSES AND REINFORCE IN EACH OTHER WHAT THEY THUS SAW AS TRUE, THEN THEY MAY DELUDE THEMSELVES THAT THEY ARE SEEING THE TRUTH WHEN WHAT THEY SEE WILL BE QUITE DIFFERENT IF THEY COULD REMOVE THEIR SUNGLASSES.
THE CONSTANT UNNECESSARY APPLICATION OF FORCE ON THE MIND THROUGH (STYLISH) CONSTANT FORCEFUL STRETCHING, CHANGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE CAUSES THE MIND TO WARP LIKE THE CRAZY MIRROR IN A CIRCUS SO THAT WHATEVER IS REFLECTED IN THAT WARPED MIRROR OR MIND PERCEIVES, IS WARPED. BECAUSE EVERYBODY’S MINDS ARE WARPED, THEY ARE SO USED TO SEEING THROUGH THEIR WARPED MIRRORS, THEY THINK THEY CAN SEE THE TRUTH, SEE THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE WHEN IT IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH BECAUSE THEY SEE THINGS AS THEY LIKED AND DISLIKED IN HASTY, FURTIVE MISLEADING SNAPSHOTS. THIS IS HOW MISUNDERTANDINGS CAN HAPPEN, PEOPLE JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS WHEN THEY SEE SOMETHING EG THEIR WIVES TALKING TO OR WALKING WITH ANOTHER MAN.
The attitude of most people towards truth is indifferent; they are unconcerned about the truth of the matter than that they should get what they want, they should enjoy their sensate pleasures and satisfy their likes and dislikes. Their ability to see the truth and speak the truth is largely make-believe than real. Not only is their attitude to truth ambivalent at best, the stress, restlessness and distraction that their constant forceful stretching, changing in speed and strength of force seriously impair their focus whilst they have been so well indoctrinated in, trained to use faulty or false tools of logic to examine situations that arise such that it is almost impossible for them to exit the all enveloping cocoon of falsity on earth.
What I say may cause resentment even amongst those who call themselves good because they are unconcerned about reason and truth in their daily lives but they are more concerned about things going according to plan or their routines or mindless rote repetition from memory and whatever thinking they may indulge in the course of the day is sort of daydreaming or thinking what is advantageous or disadvantageous to them or of a silly dingdong fashion of self argument rather than the truthfulness of what or how they say or do it. They are more interested in adopting attitudes and beliefs that require no reasoning that they learnt by rote or faith from others or concoct with their faulty logic than reasoning and seeing the truth in whatever happens.
Attitudes and beliefs are blind, rigid protocols or substitutes for reasoning and truth in a situation arising. Ordinary people have attitudes and beliefs to many different things and when faced with situations in daily life where they cannot carry out by rote from their jukeboxes, they summon their attitudes and beliefs to guide them to an appropriate response.
Expressing simultaneous like and dislike:
There are many situations in daily life where people have to experience dislike whilst expressing like and vice versa and this is worse than practicing pure like and dislike because they are generating and conditioning themselves to emotional or forceful mental conflict that with regular practice can arise easily to intense levels that are hard to shake off.
For instance the approach of a potential customer will often arouses dislike because it means work and having to be nice to him that she has to learn to conceal and instead express faked like in the name of doing her job. Therefore she tries to suppress and conceal her dislike whilst faking her like but no matter how well concealed her dislike is still detectable by the other person if he pays attention. For instance she may accelerate in speed and loudness unabated from beginning to end of her sentences reflecting her annoyance whilst individual words are stretched with undulating rising and falling speed and loudness to fake her liking so that she is actually expressing a mixture of liking and disliking and a discerning person will see through her charade and sense that she is not too happy to serve him.
In the same way when people bump into friends on the street, they may experience dislike but will fake great pleasant surprise or like at meeting them and in the process they are practicing intense emotional conflict that will not end there but every time they do so, they are conditioning themselves to mental conflict that will end in loss of control and madness.
A KEY REASON WHY PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT GIVE UP THEIR LIKES AND DISLIKES EXPERIENCE REGULAR STRONG EMOTIONAL CONFLICT THAT CAN NOW ARISE RAPIDLY WITH LITTLE PROVOCATION IS BECAUSE THEY REGULARLY PRACTICE EXPRESSING LIKE WHEN THEY DISLIKED, THEY HIDE OR EXPRESS DISLIKE WHEN THEY LIKED SO THAT THEY ARE NOW VERY DISTURBED AND EASILY CONFUSED PEOPLE WHO DO NOT REALIZE THEY WILL FALL FROM THE TIGHTROPE INTO THE ABYSS OF MADNESS. A PERSON WHO HAS NO LIKES OR DISLIKES HAVE NO LIKES OR DISLIKES TO HIDE FROM OTHERS AND FAKE.
If a person keeps denying the true reasons why he said or did something and insist that the excuses he proffers are true, in time he comes to believe his excuses are the reasons for his action and that is dicing with future insanity because in truth they were not the reasons and he now has no clue as to why he did or say something (because he has denied the true reasons so well).
For instance the true reason for saying “Asserting one's correctness to the exclusion of the other view implies the need of supremacy or dominance of views. This leads to fragmentation - an obvious reason for strife and hardships and sufferings in this world” is that the person disliked the advice I gave him and he is driven by irresistible urge to lash out but he denies this is the motivation for what he expresses but the reason is because I am wrong to criticize him, I am overbearing in my views. In time to come he truly believes he is not a nasty person but he is merely rectifying injustice done to him but no matter how strongly he believes, he must experience stress and conflict as a result of lashing out and hiding even from himself he is lashing out that can reach intense proportions but because he denies he is nasty, he cannot see why it is that he should be so worked up over something he is ‘right about’.
There is nothing wrong with believing my views are correct:
Unless a person has no integrity (he does not give two hoots about the views he expresses or he is dishonest, saying he does care when he does), no self belief or he is crazy (going against himself by saying his views does not matter or are wrong), it is only natural he should believe in and therefore assert (declare or state as opposed to demand others accept) the correctness of his views and it is false logic to say that asserting the correctness of my view implies a need for superiority and dominance. If there are other reasons for asserting my views eg to convey my commitment or confidence then you are delving in presumption that according to the Buddha is a defilement of your mind.

Because I have integrity, self belief and I am not crazy, it is only natural I assert the correctness of my view that has nothing to do with superiority or dominance.

By wrongfully telling me that my assertion of the correctness of my views implies a need for superiority and domineering he is telling me I should be facetious, have no integrity or self belief in my view and induce conflict in me by holding views and not asserting that they are correct.
Although truth is defined as simply what happened, people even those who vow they are truthful do not tell what truly happened but because of pride and shame they tell a sanitized version but even if they wanted, because they see things with like and dislike, with changes in speed and strength of their mental force they are like the man seeing everything through the funny contorted mirrors at the circus wherein everything see is warped. It is not that the objects are warped but as seen through the warped mirror, as seen with emotional like and dislike they appear ‘truthfully’ warped.
Merely Another Excuse For Strife:
You can have arguments and thence a fight over anything eg a girl, property, land, intellectual property and virtually any possessions that can be coveted.
So long as people remain contentious they will find any issue or subject to have arguments and strife and therefore it is faulty logic to single out my alleged assertion of the correctness of my views as a particular cause for strife.
THEREFORE MY ASSERTING THE CORRECTNESS OF VIEW THAT IMPLIES THE NEED FOR SUPERIORITY AND DOMINEERING IS AT BEST A TENUOUS CAUSE AMONGST MANY OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSES OF STRIFE AND YOUR ACCUSATION IS THEREFORE UNWARRANTED OR FALSE.
Ordinary people are kidding themselves if they think they are interested in the truth of the matter, because they have preconceived notions of what the truth should be that are unshakeable and false and often what they are interested in are the ‘ho, ho, ho’ (trying to make light of everything) of the situation & seeking the like and voiding the dislike of the situation. They insist they are interested in the truth, not realizing that it is on the proviso that the ‘truth’ meets their like and dislike. Because there is no truth ore reason in like and dislike, it is merely the ways with which the speed and strength of their mental force changes, what sustains them is consciousness experiences generated by the changes in their mental force that can be experienced existing as animals and they are headed for the animal world not heaven.
Like and dislike is incompatible with truth, people who like and dislike are more interested in what is there to like and dislike in a situation than the truth of the situation. For instance they are more interested in the like in their team winning the world cup than in the truth that it cheated to win.
If you like to like and dislike, you don’t care very much for reason and truth then you do not need to exist as a human let alone exist in heaven but you can indulge in your passions just as well wandering along as beasts.
Because there is nothing I cannot bear to see, nothing I am dying to see, I therefore can see everything in a situation. Because there are things ordinary people cannot bear to see and there are things they are dying to see in a situation, they therefore cannot see everything in the situation as it actually is.
A World Cup Won By Cheating:
Italy beat Australia 1-0 in the quarterfinal with the goal being a penalty awarded for what looked like a dive by the Italian player. If the penalty had not been given, it might be Australia who would have won. In the same vein, France beat Portugal in the semi finals by a penalty that looked to have been awarded for a dive.
Commentators had noted that there seems an epidemic of diving. Thus the world cup may not have been won by merit but by cheating and gamesmanship (taunting).

Truth & Reason

Truth & Reason:
Truth is merely what really happened in a situation and therefore it is always objective, unalterable and there can only be one version of what happened. Because truth is merely what really happened, it can never be domineering or intolerant but cannot be compromised or it will not then be still what really happened.
Reason or logic is the process using reliable information or what is known that can happen to arrive at the truth or what happened if one did not or cannot observe what happened.
Reason is in addition the purpose that may be true or false, necessary or unnecessary behind what is done or said, how it is done or said. For instance the reason or purpose of style which is always false and unnecessary, consumes prodigious energy to create stress both for self and others is to please, impress, intimidate or dominate others.
Right view is merely the view that describes (without emotion that is totally unnecessary) exactly what happened. Because right view merely describes what happened without emotion, it can never be domineering or intolerant which require the presence of emotion or force but again right view cannot be compromised. Because what happened can only happen in one way that can be known by All Seeing God even if it is not known by anyone in this world, there can only be one right view and any views that differ from this view is wrong view. Anyone who has this view has right view and is in accord with all others who passively, unemotionally, calm and clearly seeing share this view that is the basis of Jesus’ statement that ‘they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us’.
The Buddha said that Great Brahma is all knowing and all seeing and there is nothing that He does not know.
The Buddha called himself the Knower of All and if there are things in this world that he does not know then he is guilty of falsity to call himself the Knower of All. He said the direct knowledge that he has as compared to the knowledge that he has taught is like the leaves in the Simsapa forest above compared to the few in his hand. He can recall all his past lives, he recalled 91 eons in the first watch of the night of his enlightenment, he knows where a person is destined after his death, he knows the ways that lead to heaven, hell, animal womb, ghost realm and hungry shades. He can instantly access heaven, dive through the earth and fly through the air.
Therefore if you have faith the Buddha speaks the truth then everything that can happen in this world can be known. Even if you & everyone on earth do not know the truth behind a certain matter there is only one truth and one correct view behind it that is knowable by God. Therefore in any situation where a diversity of views are offered to you, only one or none of the differing views is correct, you either embrace none or choose one (without deprecating the others) to believe that you think is likely because to do otherwise is to fake the impossible that you can appreciate differing views, it would be to accept conflict that will end with regular practice to intense levels in irresolvable intense conflict or madness.
Falsity is what did not happen. Because it did not happen, falsity must be fabricated and there can theoretically be an infinite number of differing accounts or views of what did not happen.
Wrong views are merely the theoretically limitless numbers of views that describe what did not happen in a situation.
IT IS ALWAYS (NOT SOMETIMES) A CRUEL HOAX THAT PEOPLE WHO EXPRESS DIFFERIMG VIEWS THAT THEY WANT OTHERS TO APPRECIATE AND EVEN CONVERT THEM TO MUST THEMSELVES HAVE FAITH IN THEIR VIEWS BECAUSE THEY THEMSELVES CAN NEVER (NOT MAY) BE CERTAIN OF ANY VIEW THEY HOLD BECAUSE THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT RESULTS FROM THEIR CONSTANT APPLICATION OF FORCE ON THEIR MINDS VIA INCESSANT LIKES AND DISLIKES, INCESSANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS OF THEIR SPEECH AND THOUGHTS EVEN AS THEY EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS MUST MAKE THEM DOUBT AND BE UNCERTAIN OF WHATEVER & HOWEVER THEY SAY, DO, THINK AND PERCEIVE NO MATTER HOW THEY MAY DENY IT AND THEREFORE THEY ARE UNRIGHTEOUS TO EXPRESS VIEWS THAT THEY WANT OTHERS TO APPRECIATE AS TRUE & TO CONVERT OTHERS TO. A PERSON WHO IS NOT FREE OF DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY HAS NO RIGHT TO WANT OTHERS TO APPRECIATE AND CONVERT THEM TO HIS VIEWS.
ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY HURTING THEMSELVES WITH STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION CREATED BY THEIR CONSTANT APPLICATION OF FORCE ON THEIR MINDS BY THE WAYS THEY BEHAVE WITH CONSTANT STRETCHING, CHANGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE, SO THEY MUST HARBOR DOUBTS & SUSPICIONS OF THEMSELVES AND OTHERS TO WHOM THEY FORCE THEMSELVES TO BE FALSELY NICE TO, SO HOW CAN THEY COMPLETELY BELIEVE THEIR OWN VIEWS AND IT IS DISINGENIOUS AND WICKED THAT THEY WHO ARE IMBUED WITH DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY THAT THEY ARE FORCED TO CONSTANTLY SUPPRESS, CONTROL AND DENY EVEN TO THEMSELVES, SHOULD TRY TO INFLUENCE OTHERS WITH THEIR VIEWS. IT IS LIKE THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.
ONLY A PERSON WHO HAS NO LIKES AND DISLIKES, NO CONSTANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES AND CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT STRESSES, MAKE RESTLESS AND DISTRACTS HIMSELF CAN BE TRULY CERTAIN OF HIS VIEWS THAT WILL BE BY AND LARGE CORRECT BECAUSE HE SEES EVERYTHING AS THEY ARE, NOT AS HE LIKES OR DISLIKES THEM AND ON THE OCCASIONS WHERE HE IS PROVEN WRONG, BECAUSE HE HAS NO MENTAL FORCE WITH WHICH TO BE ATTACHED TO HIS VIEWS, HE READILY ALTERS HIS VIEWS WITHOUT SHAME, HE APOLOGIZES EASILY FOR ANY MISTAKES HE MAKES.
OFTEN IT IS NOT THAT A PERSON HAS CONVICTION IN HIS VIEWS, HE CAN SWITCH FROM ESPOUSING ‘BLACK IS ALWAYS BAD’ ON ONE OCCASION TO ‘BLACK IS GOOD’ ON ANOTHER OCCASION (MAYBE BECAUSE HE IS FACED WITH A BELLICOSE BLACK MAN), BUT HE HOLDS AND EXPRESSES VIEWS THAT DIFFER FROM OTHERS BECAUSE HE HAS STRONG SELF IDENTITY VIEWS (FETTER TO FUTURE WOES ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA), HIS VIEWS ARE A TOOL TO ANTAGONISE OTHERS, TO MAKE OTHERS CONFUSED (THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WHO BELIEVE THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE) & TO DOMINATE OTHERS BY IMPOSING HIS VIEWS THAT HE DOES NOT CARE IS TRUE OR NOT ON OTHERS.
(People are often unaware they are expressing views that impact on others that are often mundane and far from being high minded. For instance you say you want to buy something and your best friend offers his view like “Are sure you want to?”, you say you want to go to Australia to study and he questions you not because it is valid but he does not want to miss you.)
No truth & Falsity:
Where there is nothing happening, nothing perturbing there is no truth and no falsity, no need for right and wrong views, this state (nirvana) exists, is not annihilation, is not conjecturable and is the ULTIMATE end of all stress, according to the Buddha.
Anyone who champions the view that there are many situations or things that are not knowable or have more than one differing equally valid explanations may be championing a view that does not reflect reality because the reality may be that even if you and everyone in this world does not know something, how or what happened on a certain occasion, it is knowable and there are beings eg God & the angels (according to the Buddha) who know or there is a permanent cosmic record of everything that ever happened not just in this eon but in all eons past.
That there are possible multiple explanations or views to what happened in a given situation is an abiding myth or delusion that is hard to shake off in many that is aimed to keep them in doubt and uncertainty so that they are bonded in falsity, in suffering and this world because if you believe there are possible differing views that are true, you cannot be certain of anything, you must have the shadow of doubt that perhaps there is something that is an equally valid explanation. Therefore belief in multiple differing valid explanations is a false belief with which people detain themselves and want others to subscribe to, to detain them in falsity and suffering.
Because truth is defined as what happened, it can never be false, does not belong to anyone but truth is what binds in accountability all those who exist, there cannot be more than one truth, there cannot be alternative truths anymore that something can both happen and not happen at the same time. If you believe this can happen you are flirting with insanity that will finally be consummated.
What is so intolerant or domineering about a view that can be objectively known (if not by you then by those who try it eg not stretching syllables) to accurately describe what happened in a certain situation or offer appreciable benefit? If you think so, you may have mad or bizarre logic or perception.
Direct Seeing & Reasoning:
There are only two ways by which to arrive at the truth or what really happened. One is what the Buddha called direct knowledge, seeing yourself what really happened and the other is to work out by reason or logic the truth.
(When Jesus spoke of the world neither seeing nor knowing the counselor, he may be speaking without the audience’s wit of the two only ways by which truth may be known, seeing for yourself or reasoning for yourself)
You can only see for yourself what really happened if you see what is happening in its entirety not in snapshots, without liking or disliking, without undulating or unabated rises of the speed and strength of mental force that make it impossible to see things clearly as they are.
Simsapa Sutta: The Simsapa Leaves
Once the Blessed One was staying at Kosambi in the Simsapa forest. Then, picking up a few Simsapa leaves with his hand, he asked the monks, "How do you construe this, monks: Which are more numerous, the few Simsapa leaves in my hand or those overhead in the Simsapa forest?"
"The leaves in the hand of the Blessed One are few in number, lord. Those overhead in the forest are far more numerous."
"In the same way, monks, those things that I have known with direct knowledge but have not taught are far more numerous [than what I have taught]. And why haven't I taught them? Because they are not connected with the goal, do not relate to the rudiments of the holy life, and do not lead to disenchantment, to dispassion, to cessation, to calm, to direct knowledge, to self-awakening, to Unbinding. That is why I have not taught them.
"And what have I taught? 'This is stress. This is the origination of stress. This is the cessation of stress. This is the path of practice leading to the cessation of stress': This is what I have taught. And why have I taught these things? Because they are connected with the goal, relate to the rudiments of the holy life and lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, calm, direct knowledge, self-awakening, Unbinding. This is why I have taught them.
The other way of knowing the truth as to what happened is indirect, using reasoning or logic of what is possible and not possible (eg in normal circumstances an apple always falls downwards by gravity), to work out what really happened or the truth of what happened.
As they say, rubbish in, rubbish out. Thus if you saw things in snapshots with like and dislike, you may delude yourself you saw the truth of what happened but you merely saw falsely what you liked or did not like to see. If you have faulty logic, you have a faulty set of tools of what can and cannot happen in reality then the ‘truth’ that you will arrive at as to what happened will be similarly flawed.
An Acute Abdomen:
There may be those who do not know they have this wrong view or way of perceiving that in the case of a patient who presents with an acute abdomen (severe abdominal pains), different people are entitled to different views that it is appendicitis, gastritis, food poisoning, ectopic pregnancy, renal colic, etc and they are all equally right to hold their differing views because nobody knows what is the cause.
Without opening up the abdomen, no one is entitled to his different view precisely what it is but the right view is that the cause could be a list of possibilities (differential diagnosis) that can be whittled down via history, examination and judicious investigations. There can only be one cause to the patient’s condition that even though no one knows, is known by All Seeing God and knowable once the abdomen is opened up or a scope inserted. Short of direct seeing by opening up the abdomen or putting in a scope, the right view is that it could be a list of possibilities. It is wrong view or presumption to say it must be appendicitis, gastritis or any other cause.
How does one discern the truth directly or by reasoning in the example below?
Quote: Asserting one's correctness to the exclusion of the other view implies the need of supremacy or dominance of views. This leads to fragmentation - an obvious reason for strife and hardships and sufferings in this world.
Direct Seeing: Ordinary people always read with emotional like or dislike and most will sense the emotional baggage or accompanying rebuke that there objectively is present in the statement above to experience dislike or feel (emotional) guilt that maybe he has a point in what he says to prevent him from seeing directly the truth behind in the statements. Only a person who reads what is said in its entirety without being emotionally disturbed can grasp that the substance of what is said is not important but the substance is just a convenient vehicle to not just put down but put him down in a concealed or camouflaged way that will make him feel (wrongfully) guilty.
Because the accusatory finger pointing is indirect, when confronted, the perpetrator can (wickedly) deny his ill will and instead accuse the recipient of being too sensitive, seeing slights where there are none whilst a less certain person might be conned to feel he is at fault, the criticism is valid or above board and he is wrong to impute ill will. Thus he will experience conflict that with regular practice to even intense emotional level, he becomes an increasingly confused person heading for future states of woe (doubt and uncertainty according to the Buddha is one of three lower fetters to states of future woe) and the person who has a hand in instigating his confusion by feeding shit dressed as food has grave karma.
Working out by reason: Ordinary people always speak and write with a combination of substance & style. If the substance of what is written is reasoned to be logically untenable, then the message is purely a style or emotion message.
Style is essentially the added unnecessary force (emotions are proxies of mental force) in the delivery of the message that can only be either like or dislike, only their intensities vary. Therefore if the substance of message that is addressing the matter of asserting one’s correctness to the exclusion of other views is proven false then the true reason of the message is to express a dislike of and attack my asserting the correctness of my view that (de facto or logically not un-righteously as implied) excludes other views.
ASSERTING A VIEW OR EVEN THE CORRECTNESS OF A VIEW NEVER BY ITSELF IMPLIES A NEED BY THE PERSON FOR SUPREMACY OR DOMINANCE OF HIS VIEW BUT THE NEED FOR SUPREMACY AND DOMINANCE OF ONE’S VIEW ALWAYS STEM FROM A PERSON’S SENSE OF SUPERIORITY AND DOMINEERING IN EVERYTHING HE DOES OR SAYS. THUS YOU ARE ACCUSING THE PERSON OF BEING A DOMINEERING AND HAUGHTY PERSON. WHETHER A PERSON IS EITHER OR BOTH DOMINEERING & HAUGHTY CAN BE OBJECTIVELY ESTABLISHED AND IF IT IS NOT THE CASE THEN YOU ARE MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS TO LASH OUT AT HIM OR YOU HAVE BIZARRE PERCEPTION, YOU CAN SEE SUPREMACY AND DOMINANCE IN ME WHERE THERE IS NONE.
(As Jesus said, no one lights a lamp and place it under cover but they put it on the stand so that it can provide illumination for others, in the same way, I do not display my views that are unique as a result of conceit or a need for dominance or intolerance but so that they may provide light for others and even if there is conceit, domineering in my intent, because there are other reasons for asserting the correctness of my views, you have wrong logic to say it must imply a need for supremacy and dominance)
UNLESS YOU ARE VERY CERTAIN OF YOUR ACCUSATIONS, THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANYONE TO FOOLISHLY STICK HIS NECK OUT TO ACCUSE ANOTHER PERSON OF BEING DOMINEERING OR HAUGHTY & PUT HIMSELF AT RISK OF SLANDER AND GRAVE JUDGMENT BECAUSE HAUGHTINESS AND DOMINEERING IS NEVER PLEASURE BUT ALWAYS SUFFERING, SO WHY DO YOU BEGRUDGE HIM HIS SUFFERING UNLESS YOU ARE A RESENTFUL PERSON?
FRAGMENTATION IS THE INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCE OF THE EXISTENCE OF DIFFERING VIEWS ON A SUBJECT NOT THE ASSERTING OF ONE’S VIEW.
STRIFE IS AGAIN NEVER CAUSED JUST BY THE ASSERTING OF THE CORRECTNESS OF A VIEW BUT STRIFE ONLY ENSUES IF PEOPLE WHO ARE GIVEN TO AGGRESSION WHO CANNOT AGREE TO GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS BUT TRY TO FORCE OTHERS TO ADOPT THEIR VIEWS OR THEY ATTACK THE VIEWS OF OTHERS.
IT IS BECAUSE THEIR OWN VIEWS ARE FALSE OR THE EMOTIONAL WAYS THEY HOLD THEIR VIEWS ARE FALSE, THEY IN ADDITION FORCE THEMSELVES FOR SO LONG SO WELL TO APPRECIATE OTHERS’ DIFFERING VIEWS THAT ARE ALSO FALSE OR MUST CONFLICT WITH THEIR VIEWS IN THE NAME OF PLEASING OR IMPRESSING OTHERS THAT THEY NOW ARE FORCED TO APPRECIATE OTHERS’ DIFFERING VIEWS AS IF THEY ARE TRUE THAT THEY NOW BECOME BESET BY CONFLICT AND CONFUSION THAT CAN ARISE RAPIDLY TO INTENSE LEVELS WITH NO WAY OUT AND THEY ARE HEADED FOR FINAL MAD CONFUSION.
IT IS BECAUSE MY VIEWS ARE CORRECT, I DO NOT HOLD THEM EMOTIONALLY (WITH PRIDE, SUPREMACY OR DOMINANCE), I DO NOT FORCE MYSELF TO ENTERTAIN DIFFERING VIEWS FOR THE SAKE OF PLEASING OR IMPRESSING OTHERS THAT MUST CONFLICT WITH MINE THAT I AM EFFORTLESSLY IMBUED BY CALM CLEARLY SEEING CONCENTRATION WITHOUT ANY CONFLICT.
Thus the substance of the message can be reasoned to be totally false and what remains is the style of the message that can only be either like or dislike targeted at the subject of the message, ‘asserting the correctness of my views to the exclusion of others’. Therefore the aim of the message is to convey dislike in an indirect way calculated to make me feel guilty of asserting the correctness of my views.
Nirvana:
If there is nothing happening then there is no truth or falsity of what happened (because nothing has happened) and that according to the Buddha is the end of all stress. There is a state called nirvana where there is nothing perturbing, no truth and falsity and that is the end of all strife.
The Buddha: "See how the world together with the devas has self-conceit for what is not-self. Enclosed by mind-and-body it imagines, 'This is real.' Whatever they imagine it to be, it is (actually) quite different from that. It (mind or consciousness plus mental force and body) is unreal, of a false nature and perishable. Nibbana, not false in nature, that the Noble Ones know as true. Indeed, by the penetration the truth, they are completely stilled and realize deliverance.
Nibbana Sutta: Total Unbinding (1)
Now at that time the Blessed One was instructing, rousing, and encouraging the monks with Dhamma-talk. The monks -- focusing their entire awareness, -- listened to the Dhamma.
Then, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:
There is that sphere where there is neither earth nor water nor fire, nor wind; neither sphere of the infinitude of space, nor sphere of the infinitude of consciousness, nor sphere of nothingness, nor sphere of neither perception nor non-perception; neither this world, nor the next world, nor sun, nor moon. And there, I say, there is neither coming nor going nor stasis; neither passing away nor arising: without stance, without foundation, without support (mental object). This, just this, is the end of stress.
Nibbana Sutta: Total Unbinding (2)
It's hard to see the unaffected,for the truth isn't easily seen (so if you think you see the truth, you have right views, you may be presumptuous).Craving is pierced in one who knows;For one who sees, there is nothing.
Nibbana Sutta: Total Unbinding (3)
There is, monks, an unborn -- unbecome -- unmade -- unfabricated. If there were not that unborn -- unbecome -- unmade -- unfabricated, there would not be the case that emancipation from the born -- become -- made -- fabricated would be discerned. But precisely because there is an unborn -- unbecome -- unmade -- unfabricated, emancipation from the born -- become -- made -- fabricated is discerned.
Nibbana Sutta: Total Unbinding (4)
One who is dependent has wavering. One who is independent has no wavering. There being no wavering, there is calm. There being calm, there is no desire. There being no desire, there is no coming or going. There being no coming or going, there is no passing away or arising. There being no passing away or arising, there is neither a here nor a there nor a between-the-two. This, just this, is the end of stress.
Am I not teaching you about truth in a way no one has done before and am I not subject to ridicule even by those who call themselves good and smart? Therefore am I not in this sense the spirit of truth that the world cannot receive?
Did I ever express that my views are superior or ridicule views that conflict with them or insisted that you must have faith in my views, must adopt my views even if you do not understand and cannot see the truth in what I espouse? Did I ever say to anyone that you must worship my views, you must memorize my views or I will abuse or punish you if you cannot regurgitate my views slickly?
Therefore you are slandering me to say I am domineering and intolerant with regard to my views. (Slander whether carelessly or intended to lash out at a person is deadly, even leads to hell).
Whilst there are those who have such low esteem that they question the correctness of their own views, they change their views depending on which direction the wind blows, it is not surprising that I should believe my views are correct and assert my views when relating to others. It is only when I can be shown to gloat over my views and ridicule those views I reject, I threaten with excommunication or physical punishment differing views that I will be guilty of being domineering or relishing supremacy.
I am never infatuated with my views (I never keep thinking about the views I hold and liking or being attracted to them) or views in general which are merely unavoidable necessities in a world where there is a self and an ‘other’ (the external world to relate to or view) & I never wish to impose my views (I want others to see the truth in my views because it will benefit them).
Dying Unconfused:
The Buddha said the person whose release of his mind through goodwill is well cultivated dies unconfused and if penetrating no higher (the formless realms) is headed for heaven.
You can only die unconfused if there is no doubt and uncertainty in you because you effortlessly see everything clearly as they are. If there are two or more alternative paths in views, speech and action that can be taken by you, you must be vulnerable to confusion as to which path or view to take and therefore only when there is only one correct path or view that universally applies to all is there a permanent end to confusion.
Therefore one must endeavor to see everything calmly and clearly without confusion.
Casting Doubt & False Logic:
I took up the ringing phone and this insistent woman asked to speak to someone. I said he had gone out to which she replied with palpable surprise and disbelief, “Why is his handphone not on?”
By implication, because his handphone is not on, he must be in and she is casting doubt asking me to doubt what I say. All this is based on her false logic that she does not realize will culminate in mad logic that his handphone must be on if he is out. There must be many reasons why his handphone is not on and therefore to ask me “(If he is out) why is his handphone not on?” is mad logic. Again reflecting her entrenched attitude to pester, make others doubtful, she (automatically) pretended not to hear what I said that I did not know why his handphone is not on by asking “Har?” or “What!!??” as if she did not hear. Often people heard what you said but it is automatic pretense that they did not hear to make you repeat unnecessarily, to make you doubt what you said is audible when it is with grave karma attached.

If you keep pretending you did not hear when you did hear, you increasingly fail to hear things that you should hear, you become selectively deaf that may prove fatal one day.

Zidane’s Headbutt:
Although Zidane has a history of head butting opponents, it is impossible that he would do so in the world cup final without provocation and therefore even though it is inexcusable and he has serious karma for doing so, the person who provoked him does not realize that even hell awaits him for which winning the world cup is scant compensation. The Italian has a history as a hard man and what he did is line with his well-practiced habit of taunting and intimidating opponents that will send him to hell.

It seems the Italian pulled Zidane’s shirt and he sarcastically said he could have it after the match if he wanted it so badly. The Italian retorted by saying that he should give it to her sister who was a broad (to cover her chest).
It is never harmless to be sarcastic, you imply that the person is so in awe of your football skills he is trying to snatch your shirt away that will provoke the other person to retaliate. One speaking righteously says, “Stop tugging at my shirt”.
Zidane’s moment of ‘insanity’ is a warning that all sinful behavior is conditioning. It is because he has head butted under provocation many times in the past, his urge to repeat when provoked is now too intensely rising to violent levels for him to resist and he is headed for total loss of control either here or in the other world.

EVERY MOMENT’S EXPERIENCE OF ANGER, EMOTION, LIKE OR DISLIKE, MENTAL SUFFERING, STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION IS EVERY MOMENT’S CONDITIONING OF YOUR MIND SO THAT IN FUTURE YOU GET BETTER AT THEM, THEY ARISE MORE EASILY TO MORE INTENSE LEVELS THAT BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO SHAKE OFF AND IF YOU DO NOTHING, YOU ARE HEADED FOR MAD ANGER, LIKE OR DISLIKE, STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION AFTER WHICH YOU ARE LIKELY TO HEAD FOR ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.

The working in the vineyard for the reward of one denarius or one eternity in heaven that Jesus spoke of and the effacement that the Buddha spoke of is essentially the hard work that is required to painstakingly reverse the emotional urge to defile oneself and others (with anger, like and dislike, stress, restlessness and distraction) until they no longer remain. You work in the vineyard by painstakingly paying attention to stop stretching your syllables, stop changing speed and loudness in your speech so as to whittle down and finally destroy the stress, restlessness and distraction that you persecute yourself and others with.

Jesus: "For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder (the brahmas are the owners or householders of heaven) who went out early in the morning to hire laborers (ordinary people) for his vineyard. 2 After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius * a day (one eternity or age in heaven), he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place; 4 and to them he said, 'You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went. 5 Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?' 7 They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.' 8* And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.' 9 And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. 10 Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. 11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder, 12 saying, 'These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.' 13* But he replied to one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you. 15* Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?' * 16* So the last will be first, and the first last."
Quote BBC Headline: Spain suffers first bird flu case.
Comment: Many who read will see nothing wrong when it is false. Spain is likely to be largely unconcerned than to suffer because of a bird flu case. Spain is not a being and therefore cannot suffer.
The correct headline is ‘Spain has its first bird flu case’.
FALSITY IS MORE RAMPANT THAN PEOPLE CONCEDE BECAUSE THEY HAVE LARGELY ACCEPTED THE FALSITY IN THEMSELVES AND OTHERS WITHOUT QUESTION AND THEREFORE THE FALSITY THAT PEOPLE ARE AWARE IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG COMPARED TO THE TOTALITY OF FALSITY EXISTING.
Beside The Point:
The reasons something said in the course of a discussion is beside the point is due to (emotion driven) faulty perception or faulty logic that the point raised is relevant.
It is impossible for a Buddha or Jesus to speak beside the point and it is never accidental or harmless but speaking beside the point is conditioning, even cultivated because it is deemed stylish and leads to final mad or insane perception and logic. The reason why people speak beside the point on account of faulty perception is because they never listen without liking and disliking to the entirety of what is said to them, they only hear what they like to hear and refuse to hear what they do not like to hear, they take snapshots which result in inappropriate replies or they do not reason live for the occasion at hand but they lazily search their mental jukebox for an appropriate response and may sometimes miscue or they are distracted or they have motives to deliberately speak besides the point.

Truth & Reason

Truth & Reason:
Truth is merely what really happened in a situation and therefore it is always objective, unalterable and there can only be one version of what happened. Because truth is merely what really happened, it can never be domineering or intolerant but cannot be compromised or it will not then be still what really happened.
Reason or logic is the process using reliable information or what is known that can happen to arrive at the truth or what happened if one did not or cannot observe what happened.
Reason is in addition the purpose that may be true or false, necessary or unnecessary behind what is done or said, how it is done or said. For instance the reason or purpose of style which is always false and unnecessary, consumes prodigious energy to create stress both for self and others is to please, impress, intimidate or dominate others.
Right view is merely the view that describes (without emotion that is totally unnecessary) exactly what happened. Because right view merely describes what happened without emotion, it can never be domineering or intolerant which require the presence of emotion or force but again right view cannot be compromised. Because what happened can only happen in one way that can be known by All Seeing God even if it is not known by anyone in this world, there can only be one right view and any views that differ from this view is wrong view. Anyone who has this view has right view and is in accord with all others who passively, unemotionally, calm and clearly seeing share this view that is the basis of Jesus’ statement that ‘they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us’.
The Buddha said that Great Brahma is all knowing and all seeing and there is nothing that He does not know.
The Buddha called himself the Knower of All and if there are things in this world that he does not know then he is guilty of falsity to call himself the Knower of All. He said the direct knowledge that he has as compared to the knowledge that he has taught is like the leaves in the Simsapa forest above compared to the few in his hand. He can recall all his past lives, he recalled 91 eons in the first watch of the night of his enlightenment, he knows where a person is destined after his death, he knows the ways that lead to heaven, hell, animal womb, ghost realm and hungry shades. He can instantly access heaven, dive through the earth and fly through the air.
Therefore if you have faith the Buddha speaks the truth then everything that can happen in this world can be known. Even if you & everyone on earth do not know the truth behind a certain matter there is only one truth and one correct view behind it that is knowable by God. Therefore in any situation where a diversity of views are offered to you, only one or none of the differing views is correct, you either embrace none or choose one (without deprecating the others) to believe that you think is likely because to do otherwise is to fake the impossible that you can appreciate differing views, it would be to accept conflict that will end with regular practice to intense levels in irresolvable intense conflict or madness.
Falsity is what did not happen. Because it did not happen, falsity must be fabricated and there can theoretically be an infinite number of differing accounts or views of what did not happen.
Wrong views are merely the theoretically limitless numbers of views that describe what did not happen in a situation.
IT IS ALWAYS (NOT SOMETIMES) A CRUEL HOAX THAT PEOPLE WHO EXPRESS DIFFERIMG VIEWS THAT THEY WANT OTHERS TO APPRECIATE AND EVEN CONVERT THEM TO MUST THEMSELVES HAVE FAITH IN THEIR VIEWS BECAUSE THEY THEMSELVES CAN NEVER (NOT MAY) BE CERTAIN OF ANY VIEW THEY HOLD BECAUSE THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT RESULTS FROM THEIR CONSTANT APPLICATION OF FORCE ON THEIR MINDS VIA INCESSANT LIKES AND DISLIKES, INCESSANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS OF THEIR SPEECH AND THOUGHTS EVEN AS THEY EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS MUST MAKE THEM DOUBT AND BE UNCERTAIN OF WHATEVER & HOWEVER THEY SAY, DO, THINK AND PERCEIVE NO MATTER HOW THEY MAY DENY IT AND THEREFORE THEY ARE UNRIGHTEOUS TO EXPRESS VIEWS THAT THEY WANT OTHERS TO APPRECIATE AS TRUE & TO CONVERT OTHERS TO. A PERSON WHO IS NOT FREE OF DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY HAS NO RIGHT TO WANT OTHERS TO APPRECIATE AND CONVERT THEM TO HIS VIEWS.
ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY HURTING THEMSELVES WITH STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION CREATED BY THEIR CONSTANT APPLICATION OF FORCE ON THEIR MINDS BY THE WAYS THEY BEHAVE WITH CONSTANT STRETCHING, CHANGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE, SO THEY MUST HARBOR DOUBTS & SUSPICIONS OF THEMSELVES AND OTHERS TO WHOM THEY FORCE THEMSELVES TO BE FALSELY NICE TO, SO HOW CAN THEY COMPLETELY BELIEVE THEIR OWN VIEWS AND IT IS DISINGENIOUS AND WICKED THAT THEY WHO ARE IMBUED WITH DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY THAT THEY ARE FORCED TO CONSTANTLY SUPPRESS, CONTROL AND DENY EVEN TO THEMSELVES, SHOULD TRY TO INFLUENCE OTHERS WITH THEIR VIEWS. IT IS LIKE THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.
ONLY A PERSON WHO HAS NO LIKES AND DISLIKES, NO CONSTANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES AND CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT STRESSES, MAKE RESTLESS AND DISTRACTS HIMSELF CAN BE TRULY CERTAIN OF HIS VIEWS THAT WILL BE BY AND LARGE CORRECT BECAUSE HE SEES EVERYTHING AS THEY ARE, NOT AS HE LIKES OR DISLIKES THEM AND ON THE OCCASIONS WHERE HE IS PROVEN WRONG, BECAUSE HE HAS NO MENTAL FORCE WITH WHICH TO BE ATTACHED TO HIS VIEWS, HE READILY ALTERS HIS VIEWS WITHOUT SHAME, HE APOLOGIZES EASILY FOR ANY MISTAKES HE MAKES.
OFTEN IT IS NOT THAT A PERSON HAS CONVICTION IN HIS VIEWS, HE CAN SWITCH FROM ESPOUSING ‘BLACK IS ALWAYS BAD’ ON ONE OCCASION TO ‘BLACK IS GOOD’ ON ANOTHER OCCASION (MAYBE BECAUSE HE IS FACED WITH A BELLICOSE BLACK MAN), BUT HE HOLDS AND EXPRESSES VIEWS THAT DIFFER FROM OTHERS BECAUSE HE HAS STRONG SELF IDENTITY VIEWS (FETTER TO FUTURE WOES ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA), HIS VIEWS ARE A TOOL TO ANTAGONISE OTHERS, TO MAKE OTHERS CONFUSED (THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WHO BELIEVE THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE) & TO DOMINATE OTHERS BY IMPOSING HIS VIEWS THAT HE DOES NOT CARE IS TRUE OR NOT ON OTHERS.
(People are often unaware they are expressing views that impact on others that are often mundane and far from being high minded. For instance you say you want to buy something and your best friend offers his view like “Are sure you want to?”, you say you want to go to Australia to study and he questions you not because it is valid but he does not want to miss you.)
No truth & Falsity:
Where there is nothing happening, nothing perturbing there is no truth and no falsity, no need for right and wrong views, this state (nirvana) exists, is not annihilation, is not conjecturable and is the ULTIMATE end of all stress, according to the Buddha.
Anyone who champions the view that there are many situations or things that are not knowable or have more than one differing equally valid explanations may be championing a view that does not reflect reality because the reality may be that even if you and everyone in this world does not know something, how or what happened on a certain occasion, it is knowable and there are beings eg God & the angels (according to the Buddha) who know or there is a permanent cosmic record of everything that ever happened not just in this eon but in all eons past.
That there are possible multiple explanations or views to what happened in a given situation is an abiding myth or delusion that is hard to shake off in many that is aimed to keep them in doubt and uncertainty so that they are bonded in falsity, in suffering and this world because if you believe there are possible differing views that are true, you cannot be certain of anything, you must have the shadow of doubt that perhaps there is something that is an equally valid explanation. Therefore belief in multiple differing valid explanations is a false belief with which people detain themselves and want others to subscribe to, to detain them in falsity and suffering.
Because truth is defined as what happened, it can never be false, does not belong to anyone but truth is what binds in accountability all those who exist, there cannot be more than one truth, there cannot be alternative truths anymore that something can both happen and not happen at the same time. If you believe this can happen you are flirting with insanity that will finally be consummated.
What is so intolerant or domineering about a view that can be objectively known (if not by you then by those who try it eg not stretching syllables) to accurately describe what happened in a certain situation or offer appreciable benefit? If you think so, you may have mad or bizarre logic or perception.
Direct Seeing & Reasoning:
There are only two ways by which to arrive at the truth or what really happened. One is what the Buddha called direct knowledge, seeing yourself what really happened and the other is to work out by reason or logic the truth.
(When Jesus spoke of the world neither seeing nor knowing the counselor, he may be speaking without the audience’s wit of the two only ways by which truth may be known, seeing for yourself or reasoning for yourself)
You can only see for yourself what really happened if you see what is happening in its entirety not in snapshots, without liking or disliking, without undulating or unabated rises of the speed and strength of mental force that make it impossible to see things clearly as they are.
Simsapa Sutta: The Simsapa Leaves
Once the Blessed One was staying at Kosambi in the Simsapa forest. Then, picking up a few Simsapa leaves with his hand, he asked the monks, "How do you construe this, monks: Which are more numerous, the few Simsapa leaves in my hand or those overhead in the Simsapa forest?"
"The leaves in the hand of the Blessed One are few in number, lord. Those overhead in the forest are far more numerous."
"In the same way, monks, those things that I have known with direct knowledge but have not taught are far more numerous [than what I have taught]. And why haven't I taught them? Because they are not connected with the goal, do not relate to the rudiments of the holy life, and do not lead to disenchantment, to dispassion, to cessation, to calm, to direct knowledge, to self-awakening, to Unbinding. That is why I have not taught them.
"And what have I taught? 'This is stress. This is the origination of stress. This is the cessation of stress. This is the path of practice leading to the cessation of stress': This is what I have taught. And why have I taught these things? Because they are connected with the goal, relate to the rudiments of the holy life and lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, calm, direct knowledge, self-awakening, Unbinding. This is why I have taught them.
The other way of knowing the truth as to what happened is indirect, using reasoning or logic of what is possible and not possible (eg in normal circumstances an apple always falls downwards by gravity), to work out what really happened or the truth of what happened.
As they say, rubbish in, rubbish out. Thus if you saw things in snapshots with like and dislike, you may delude yourself you saw the truth of what happened but you merely saw falsely what you liked or did not like to see. If you have faulty logic, you have a faulty set of tools of what can and cannot happen in reality then the ‘truth’ that you will arrive at as to what happened will be similarly flawed.
An Acute Abdomen:
There may be those who do not know they have this wrong view or way of perceiving that in the case of a patient who presents with an acute abdomen (severe abdominal pains), different people are entitled to different views that it is appendicitis, gastritis, food poisoning, ectopic pregnancy, renal colic, etc and they are all equally right to hold their differing views because nobody knows what is the cause.
Without opening up the abdomen, no one is entitled to his different view precisely what it is but the right view is that the cause could be a list of possibilities (differential diagnosis) that can be whittled down via history, examination and judicious investigations. There can only be one cause to the patient’s condition that even though no one knows, is known by All Seeing God and knowable once the abdomen is opened up or a scope inserted. Short of direct seeing by opening up the abdomen or putting in a scope, the right view is that it could be a list of possibilities. It is wrong view or presumption to say it must be appendicitis, gastritis or any other cause.
How does one discern the truth directly or by reasoning in the example below?
Quote: Asserting one's correctness to the exclusion of the other view implies the need of supremacy or dominance of views. This leads to fragmentation - an obvious reason for strife and hardships and sufferings in this world.
Direct Seeing: Ordinary people always read with emotional like or dislike and most will sense the emotional baggage or accompanying rebuke that there objectively is present in the statement above to experience dislike or feel (emotional) guilt that maybe he has a point in what he says to prevent him from seeing directly the truth behind in the statements. Only a person who reads what is said in its entirety without being emotionally disturbed can grasp that the substance of what is said is not important but the substance is just a convenient vehicle to not just put down but put him down in a concealed or camouflaged way that will make him feel (wrongfully) guilty.
Because the accusatory finger pointing is indirect, when confronted, the perpetrator can (wickedly) deny his ill will and instead accuse the recipient of being too sensitive, seeing slights where there are none whilst a less certain person might be conned to feel he is at fault, the criticism is valid or above board and he is wrong to impute ill will. Thus he will experience conflict that with regular practice to even intense emotional level, he becomes an increasingly confused person heading for future states of woe (doubt and uncertainty according to the Buddha is one of three lower fetters to states of future woe) and the person who has a hand in instigating his confusion by feeding shit dressed as food has grave karma.
Working out by reason: Ordinary people always speak and write with a combination of substance & style. If the substance of what is written is reasoned to be logically untenable, then the message is purely a style or emotion message.
Style is essentially the added unnecessary force (emotions are proxies of mental force) in the delivery of the message that can only be either like or dislike, only their intensities vary. Therefore if the substance of message that is addressing the matter of asserting one’s correctness to the exclusion of other views is proven false then the true reason of the message is to express a dislike of and attack my asserting the correctness of my view that (de facto or logically not un-righteously as implied) excludes other views.
ASSERTING A VIEW OR EVEN THE CORRECTNESS OF A VIEW NEVER BY ITSELF IMPLIES A NEED BY THE PERSON FOR SUPREMACY OR DOMINANCE OF HIS VIEW BUT THE NEED FOR SUPREMACY AND DOMINANCE OF ONE’S VIEW ALWAYS STEM FROM A PERSON’S SENSE OF SUPERIORITY AND DOMINEERING IN EVERYTHING HE DOES OR SAYS. THUS YOU ARE ACCUSING THE PERSON OF BEING A DOMINEERING AND HAUGHTY PERSON. WHETHER A PERSON IS EITHER OR BOTH DOMINEERING & HAUGHTY CAN BE OBJECTIVELY ESTABLISHED AND IF IT IS NOT THE CASE THEN YOU ARE MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS TO LASH OUT AT HIM OR YOU HAVE BIZARRE PERCEPTION, YOU CAN SEE SUPREMACY AND DOMINANCE IN ME WHERE THERE IS NONE.
(As Jesus said, no one lights a lamp and place it under cover but they put it on the stand so that it can provide illumination for others, in the same way, I do not display my views that are unique as a result of conceit or a need for dominance or intolerance but so that they may provide light for others and even if there is conceit, domineering in my intent, because there are other reasons for asserting the correctness of my views, you have wrong logic to say it must imply a need for supremacy and dominance)
UNLESS YOU ARE VERY CERTAIN OF YOUR ACCUSATIONS, THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANYONE TO FOOLISHLY STICK HIS NECK OUT TO ACCUSE ANOTHER PERSON OF BEING DOMINEERING OR HAUGHTY & PUT HIMSELF AT RISK OF SLANDER AND GRAVE JUDGMENT BECAUSE HAUGHTINESS AND DOMINEERING IS NEVER PLEASURE BUT ALWAYS SUFFERING, SO WHY DO YOU BEGRUDGE HIM HIS SUFFERING UNLESS YOU ARE A RESENTFUL PERSON?
FRAGMENTATION IS THE INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCE OF THE EXISTENCE OF DIFFERING VIEWS ON A SUBJECT NOT THE ASSERTING OF ONE’S VIEW.
STRIFE IS AGAIN NEVER CAUSED JUST BY THE ASSERTING OF THE CORRECTNESS OF A VIEW BUT STRIFE ONLY ENSUES IF PEOPLE WHO ARE GIVEN TO AGGRESSION WHO CANNOT AGREE TO GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS BUT TRY TO FORCE OTHERS TO ADOPT THEIR VIEWS OR THEY ATTACK THE VIEWS OF OTHERS.
IT IS BECAUSE THEIR OWN VIEWS ARE FALSE OR THE EMOTIONAL WAYS THEY HOLD THEIR VIEWS ARE FALSE, THEY IN ADDITION FORCE THEMSELVES FOR SO LONG SO WELL TO APPRECIATE OTHERS’ DIFFERING VIEWS THAT ARE ALSO FALSE OR MUST CONFLICT WITH THEIR VIEWS IN THE NAME OF PLEASING OR IMPRESSING OTHERS THAT THEY NOW ARE FORCED TO APPRECIATE OTHERS’ DIFFERING VIEWS AS IF THEY ARE TRUE THAT THEY NOW BECOME BESET BY CONFLICT AND CONFUSION THAT CAN ARISE RAPIDLY TO INTENSE LEVELS WITH NO WAY OUT AND THEY ARE HEADED FOR FINAL MAD CONFUSION.
IT IS BECAUSE MY VIEWS ARE CORRECT, I DO NOT HOLD THEM EMOTIONALLY (WITH PRIDE, SUPREMACY OR DOMINANCE), I DO NOT FORCE MYSELF TO ENTERTAIN DIFFERING VIEWS FOR THE SAKE OF PLEASING OR IMPRESSING OTHERS THAT MUST CONFLICT WITH MINE THAT I AM EFFORTLESSLY IMBUED BY CALM CLEARLY SEEING CONCENTRATION WITHOUT ANY CONFLICT.
Thus the substance of the message can be reasoned to be totally false and what remains is the style of the message that can only be either like or dislike targeted at the subject of the message, ‘asserting the correctness of my views to the exclusion of others’. Therefore the aim of the message is to convey dislike in an indirect way calculated to make me feel guilty of asserting the correctness of my views.
Nirvana:
If there is nothing happening then there is no truth or falsity of what happened (because nothing has happened) and that according to the Buddha is the end of all stress. There is a state called nirvana where there is nothing perturbing, no truth and falsity and that is the end of all strife.
The Buddha: "See how the world together with the devas has self-conceit for what is not-self. Enclosed by mind-and-body it imagines, 'This is real.' Whatever they imagine it to be, it is (actually) quite different from that. It (mind or consciousness plus mental force and body) is unreal, of a false nature and perishable. Nibbana, not false in nature, that the Noble Ones know as true. Indeed, by the penetration the truth, they are completely stilled and realize deliverance.
Nibbana Sutta: Total Unbinding (1)
Now at that time the Blessed One was instructing, rousing, and encouraging the monks with Dhamma-talk. The monks -- focusing their entire awareness, -- listened to the Dhamma.
Then, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:
There is that sphere where there is neither earth nor water nor fire, nor wind; neither sphere of the infinitude of space, nor sphere of the infinitude of consciousness, nor sphere of nothingness, nor sphere of neither perception nor non-perception; neither this world, nor the next world, nor sun, nor moon. And there, I say, there is neither coming nor going nor stasis; neither passing away nor arising: without stance, without foundation, without support (mental object). This, just this, is the end of stress.
Nibbana Sutta: Total Unbinding (2)
It's hard to see the unaffected,for the truth isn't easily seen (so if you think you see the truth, you have right views, you may be presumptuous).Craving is pierced in one who knows;For one who sees, there is nothing.
Nibbana Sutta: Total Unbinding (3)
There is, monks, an unborn -- unbecome -- unmade -- unfabricated. If there were not that unborn -- unbecome -- unmade -- unfabricated, there would not be the case that emancipation from the born -- become -- made -- fabricated would be discerned. But precisely because there is an unborn -- unbecome -- unmade -- unfabricated, emancipation from the born -- become -- made -- fabricated is discerned.
Nibbana Sutta: Total Unbinding (4)
One who is dependent has wavering. One who is independent has no wavering. There being no wavering, there is calm. There being calm, there is no desire. There being no desire, there is no coming or going. There being no coming or going, there is no passing away or arising. There being no passing away or arising, there is neither a here nor a there nor a between-the-two. This, just this, is the end of stress.
Am I not teaching you about truth in a way no one has done before and am I not subject to ridicule even by those who call themselves good and smart? Therefore am I not in this sense the spirit of truth that the world cannot receive?
Did I ever express that my views are superior or ridicule views that conflict with them or insisted that you must have faith in my views, must adopt my views even if you do not understand and cannot see the truth in what I espouse? Did I ever say to anyone that you must worship my views, you must memorize my views or I will abuse or punish you if you cannot regurgitate my views slickly?
Therefore you are slandering me to say I am domineering and intolerant with regard to my views. (Slander whether carelessly or intended to lash out at a person is deadly, even leads to hell).
Whilst there are those who have such low esteem that they question the correctness of their own views, they change their views depending on which direction the wind blows, it is not surprising that I should believe my views are correct and assert my views when relating to others. It is only when I can be shown to gloat over my views and ridicule those views I reject, I threaten with excommunication or physical punishment differing views that I will be guilty of being domineering or relishing supremacy.
I am never infatuated with my views (I never keep thinking about the views I hold and liking or being attracted to them) or views in general which are merely unavoidable necessities in a world where there is a self and an ‘other’ (the external world to relate to or view) & I never wish to impose my views (I want others to see the truth in my views because it will benefit them).
Dying Unconfused:
The Buddha said the person whose release of his mind through goodwill is well cultivated dies unconfused and if penetrating no higher (the formless realms) is headed for heaven.
You can only die unconfused if there is no doubt and uncertainty in you because you effortlessly see everything clearly as they are. If there are two or more alternative paths in views, speech and action that can be taken by you, you must be vulnerable to confusion as to which path or view to take and therefore only when there is only one correct path or view that universally applies to all is there a permanent end to confusion.
Therefore one must endeavor to see everything calmly and clearly without confusion.
Casting Doubt & False Logic:
I took up the ringing phone and this insistent woman asked to speak to someone. I said he had gone out to which she replied with palpable surprise and disbelief, “Why is his handphone not on?”
By implication, because his handphone is not on, he must be in and she is casting doubt asking me to doubt what I say. All this is based on her false logic that she does not realize will culminate in mad logic that his handphone must be on if he is out. There must be many reasons why his handphone is not on and therefore to ask me “(If he is out) why is his handphone not on?” is mad logic. Again reflecting her entrenched attitude to pester, make others doubtful, she (automatically) pretended not to hear what I said that I did not know why his handphone is not on by asking “Har?” or “What!!??” as if she did not hear. Often people heard what you said but it is automatic pretense that they did not hear to make you repeat unnecessarily, to make you doubt what you said is audible when it is with grave karma attached.

If you keep pretending you did not hear when you did hear, you increasingly fail to hear things that you should hear, you become selectively deaf that may prove fatal one day.

Zidane’s Headbutt:
Although Zidane has a history of head butting opponents, it is impossible that he would do so in the world cup final without provocation and therefore even though it is inexcusable and he has serious karma for doing so, the person who provoked him does not realize that even hell awaits him for which winning the world cup is scant compensation. The Italian has a history as a hard man and what he did is line with his well-practiced habit of taunting and intimidating opponents that will send him to hell.

It seems the Italian pulled Zidane’s shirt and he sarcastically said he could have it after the match if he wanted it so badly. The Italian retorted by saying that he should give it to her sister who was a broad (to cover her chest).
It is never harmless to be sarcastic, you imply that the person is so in awe of your football skills he is trying to snatch your shirt away that will provoke the other person to retaliate. One speaking righteously says, “Stop tugging at my shirt”.
Zidane’s moment of ‘insanity’ is a warning that all sinful behavior is conditioning. It is because he has head butted under provocation many times in the past, his urge to repeat when provoked is now too intensely rising to violent levels for him to resist and he is headed for total loss of control either here or in the other world.

EVERY MOMENT’S EXPERIENCE OF ANGER, EMOTION, LIKE OR DISLIKE, MENTAL SUFFERING, STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION IS EVERY MOMENT’S CONDITIONING OF YOUR MIND SO THAT IN FUTURE YOU GET BETTER AT THEM, THEY ARISE MORE EASILY TO MORE INTENSE LEVELS THAT BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO SHAKE OFF AND IF YOU DO NOTHING, YOU ARE HEADED FOR MAD ANGER, LIKE OR DISLIKE, STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION AFTER WHICH YOU ARE LIKELY TO HEAD FOR ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.

The working in the vineyard for the reward of one denarius or one eternity in heaven that Jesus spoke of and the effacement that the Buddha spoke of is essentially the hard work that is required to painstakingly reverse the emotional urge to defile oneself and others (with anger, like and dislike, stress, restlessness and distraction) until they no longer remain. You work in the vineyard by painstakingly paying attention to stop stretching your syllables, stop changing speed and loudness in your speech so as to whittle down and finally destroy the stress, restlessness and distraction that you persecute yourself and others with.

Jesus: "For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder (the brahmas are the owners or householders of heaven) who went out early in the morning to hire laborers (ordinary people) for his vineyard. 2 After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius * a day (one eternity or age in heaven), he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place; 4 and to them he said, 'You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went. 5 Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?' 7 They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.' 8* And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.' 9 And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. 10 Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. 11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder, 12 saying, 'These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.' 13* But he replied to one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you. 15* Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?' * 16* So the last will be first, and the first last."
Quote BBC Headline: Spain suffers first bird flu case.
Comment: Many who read will see nothing wrong when it is false. Spain is likely to be largely unconcerned than to suffer because of a bird flu case. Spain is not a being and therefore cannot suffer.
The correct headline is ‘Spain has its first bird flu case’.
FALSITY IS MORE RAMPANT THAN PEOPLE CONCEDE BECAUSE THEY HAVE LARGELY ACCEPTED THE FALSITY IN THEMSELVES AND OTHERS WITHOUT QUESTION AND THEREFORE THE FALSITY THAT PEOPLE ARE AWARE IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG COMPARED TO THE TOTALITY OF FALSITY EXISTING.
Beside The Point:
The reasons something said in the course of a discussion is beside the point is due to (emotion driven) faulty perception or faulty logic that the point raised is relevant.
It is impossible for a Buddha or Jesus to speak beside the point and it is never accidental or harmless but speaking beside the point is conditioning, even cultivated because it is deemed stylish and leads to final mad or insane perception and logic. The reason why people speak beside the point on account of faulty perception is because they never listen without liking and disliking to the entirety of what is said to them, they only hear what they like to hear and refuse to hear what they do not like to hear, they take snapshots which result in inappropriate replies or they do not reason live for the occasion at hand but they lazily search their mental jukebox for an appropriate response and may sometimes miscue or they are distracted or they have motives to deliberately speak besides the point.
