Precepts Are Rules


(AFTER EVEN MANY YEARS OF STRUGGLING TO GRASP WHAT THE BUDDHA MEANT BY FAITH IN PRECEPTS IS A FETTER TO FUTURE STATES OF WOE, I HAVE FINALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT HE MEANT)
WHAT IS THE USE OF BELIEVING IN (OR ACCEPTING) RULES WHEN YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE THE URGE TO DEFILE THEM AND DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU SHOULD ABIDE BY THOSE RULES AND WHAT IS THE USE OF HAVING RULES IF YOU HAVE NO URGE TO DEFILE THEM AND YOU SEE AND KNOW WHY YOU MUST NOT BREAK THEM? WHEN YOU CEASE TO HAVE AN URGE TO DEFILE A RULE THE RULE BECOMES MEANINGLESS TO YOU.
The precepts the Buddha was talking about are rules that may be secular or religious. Rules may be good, nonsensical or bad. No matter how good the rules are supposed to be they are restrictions or impositions that constrain the individuals just as rituals are useless sequences of bodily motions that fail to achieve any purpose let alone the likely lofty purposes they are intended to achieve.
What is use of having rules when you continue to have an urge to break them and should you break them as is likely, at least occasionally you have made yourself a liar or hypocrite breaking the rules you uphold.
If your mind is ruled by rules whether religious or secular, you do not have a free or liberated mind but a hindered or restricted mind and that is a fetter to future woe because those who have faith in rules tend to be rigid even to a fanatical manner and they are like mere biological robots whose every motions are ritualized apart from specific rituals they may practice and their minds are governed by rules for this and that and their minds think in a rigid rule like manner apart from specific rules they stick to.
Thus precepts which are rules for conduct and speech are a form of beliefs and beliefs are all based not on seeing or knowing why but based on faith or accepting as true without knowing why and examining why the rules should be so.
The man with faith in precepts has faith in rules and has rules ‘for everything under the sun’ that he expects himself and others to conform to. I think the Ayatollah Khomeini was quite fascinated by matters of sex and had detailed rules regarding sex that are published.
The person who has no faith in precepts or rules is not a rebel or lawless but he can see and know why he should not sin, tell lies, abuse others or kill because it is suffering to himself and the victim.
It is no point having rules about not stretching syllables, changing speed and loudness when you cannot see why you shouldn’t do so, you cannot see that you are stressing, making restless and distracting yourself and others and when you can see the harm stretching of syllables, changing speed and loudness does to yourself and others you do not need any rules to tell you so.
There are those who like and dislike (hate) school rules. Those who are officious and like school rules may go to great lengths to learn and memorize all the rules, rights and privileges and enforce it on themselves and others whilst those who hate rules should not congratulate themselves that the Buddha has vindicated them because their hate is merely the repulsive stirring in speed and strength of their mental force on awareness of school rules that has nothing to do with reason, with reason why they should not have faith in those rules but it is a forceful dislike based on their encroachment of their freedom and the fear of penalties on being caught breaking those rules (lights out after 9pm in hostel, silence in library).
So you think you are free from faith in precepts?
So you think you are safely free of faith in precepts or rules and therefore not destined for future states of woe?
Faith in fengshui is faith in precepts because fengshui are about rules of which direction your house should face, whether to have a mountain behind and flowing water in front, not to have a road leading directly into your house (junction), what angles are good and bad, etc. All these are rules that those who believe in fengshui believe and endeavor to obey. So you do not believe in fenshui?
Belief in superstitions too is a form of faith in precepts like ‘do not walk under a ladder’, ‘avoid having a black cat to cross your path’, ‘don’t go out on Friday the 13th’.
THE LIFE OF A PERSON WHO HAS FAITH IN RITES AND PRECEPTS REVOLVES AROUND RULES FOR THIS AND THAT TO BE FOLLOWED BY HIM AND OTHERS AND PERFORMING VARIOUS CEREMONIES TO ACHIEVE PURPOSES THAT THEY CANNOT ACHIEVE AND THEREFORE HE IS DELUDED AND IN EFFECT A MINDLESS ROBOT DOING AS TOLD BY HIS RULES AND RITUALS NOT SEEING AND UNDERSTANDING WHY HE HAS THOSE RULES AND PERFORM THOSE RITUALS.
ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE OR THOSE WHO HAVE STYLE OR STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS MUST BE ROBOTS BECAUSE THEIR BEHAVIOR IS CONSTANTLY REHASHED FROM THEIR MENTAL JUKEBOXES AND THEREFORE IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THEY ALL HAVE FAITH IN AND PRACTICE RULES AND RITUALS (EXERCISE, YOGA, TAI CHI ARE RITUALS)
IF YOU LIKE RULES, LIKE TO HAVE RULES IN EVERYTHING YOU DO REMIND YOURSELF THAT THE BUDDHA SAID FAITH IN PRECEPTS IS A FETTER TO FUTURE STATES OF WOE. IF YOU HATE RULES DO NOT CONGRATULATE YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU HATE BECAUSE OF THE HASSLES OR FEAR OF PENALTIES AND HATING IS NOT BASED ON REASON BUT FORCE.
All rules are artificial & false:
All rules be it scientific rules or laws or secular or religious behavioral rules are artificial human creations to attempt to control conduct or explain phenomena for material benefits.

All rules be it scientific or behavioral are artificial and ultimately false and the fact that you disagree reflects you have faith in them and uphold them and if it is true they are false you have wrong view that leads to hell or the animal womb and that is future states of woe.

Rules are creations or fabrications by humans to explain things or to forbid certain behavior and encourage others.

Ordinary people accept the laws (rules) of gravity or relativity as true or sacrosanct when they are artificial human theories that although they explain reality quite well may not be absolutely true or what it really is. Although Newton's laws of gravity explain things very well and can be used to send a spacecraft to the outer reaches of the solar system, it is flawed and does not fit reality as well as Einstein's rules of relativity which itself is being questioned.

You may say I am nitpicking and for all intents and purposes, Newton’s laws apply but it is your unwavering believe in such laws that hold you bound to this physical world and if this world is suffering you have faith in the laws of this world that means a return to this world that is suffering and therefore a fetter to states of future woe.

You will be a fool to place too much faith or accept as absolutely true scientific laws or rules when God and the Buddha can make you disappear and reappear instantly without a massive nuclear explosion that you would expect if Einstein's law e=mc2 holds.

In practice I have experienced the disappearance of a Johnny Cash LP, a large sticker on my DVD player that I have photographic evidence was there before, the DVD's power cable in a place where no one else goes except me, I have searched repeatedly a pile of CDs for a software CD I wanted only to find it moments later sitting completely exposed at the top of the pile. A CD in a set of four was missing even after I examined the casing many times but many months later after I had a hunch it has returned, it turned out in the casing that was kept in a locked cabinet. Thus it appears that solid articles that must contain tremendous trapped energy can be made to disappear and reappear as the Buddha said they can without a tremendous nuclear explosion and you will therefore be foolish to hold absolute faith in Einstein's laws.


Recently a fish was caught with appendages that were clearly like legs with multiple joints and feet that would flout the laws of genetics and evolution which says that fish with fins cannot suddenly develop remarkably sophisticated limbs because they lack the genetic codes for it.
AS THE SAYING GOES ‘RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN’ AND WILL BE BROKEN AND THEREFORE RULES OF EVOLUTION AND GENETICS APPEAR TO BE BROKEN BY THIS FISH THAT HAS REMARKABLE LEG LIKE APPENDAGES THAT EVOLUTION AND GENETICS SAY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE. THEREFORE RULES ARE NOT ABSOLUTE.
THEREFORE EVEN SCIENTIFIC LAWS OR RULES ARE ARTIFICIAL HUMAN CONSTRUCTS TO TRY TO EXPLAIN THINGS AND ALTHOUGH IN PRACTICE THEY MAY EXPLAIN THINGS VERY WELL YOU ARE PRESUMPTIOUS TO BELIEVE THAT REALITY CONFORM TO THEM BECAUSE THOSE LAWS CAN BE BROKEN BECAUSE THIS IS A MIND ONLY WORLD AND CREATION BY GOD WHO CAN MAKE LEGS APPEAR IN FISH IF HE WANTED, JESUS CAN MAKE EVEN LOTS OF FRESHLY BAKED BREAD INSTANTLY TO FEED THE MASSES AND A BUDDHA CAN APPEAR AND REAPPEAR IN AN INSTANCE, WALK ON WATER, THROUGH A WALL AND FLY THROUGH THE AIR.
THEREFORE IF YOU HAVE FAITH IN RULES, YOU HAVE FAITH IN WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL AND FALSE THAT CONSTRAIN YOU AND BECAUSE YOU HAVE FAITH IN WHAT IS FALSE AND ARTIFICIAL YOU HAVE WRONG VIEW AND ARE HEADED FOR HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB AND THAT IS FUTURE STATES OF WOE.
Dislike for rules is not no faith for rules:
The 'precepts' that faith in the Buddha said was a fetter to future states of woe is nothing more than rules that all ordinary people even those who call themselves rebels have faith in.
There are many who dislike rules but that is never no faith in rules because dislike is merely the repulsive stirring in speed and strength of their mental force of going against self at their perception or contact with rules.
Faith is belief or accept as true what you cannot see or know is true and therefore the man who has faith in rules is the man who accepts as true rules whilst the man who has no faith in rules is a man who does not accept as true rules not the man who dislikes or rebels against rules.
The man who has no faith in rules has risen above rules, he has gone beyond rules and is not governed or bounded by rules and this does not mean he is a rebel or fights or attacks rules. Because he has gone beyond rules he is a truly free man who sees things clearly and therefore knows what is good and bad, what is true and false and does not need rules to guide him in his actions or conduct.
A man who is governed by rules is a bonded and suffering man and because he accepts as true and abides by those rules he is heading for continued further suffering after he departs.
A man who is not governed by rules is not a bonded and suffering man and because he does not accepts as true and abides by rules but behaves according to his discernment as to what is true and therefore beneficial or false and therefore harmful he is heading for an end of suffering after he departs.
THEREFORE IF YOU BELIEVE IN RULES WHETHER THEY ARE RELIGIOUS OR SECULAR, YOU ABIDE BY RULES AS ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE DO (THEY LIKE TO IMPOSE RULES FOR THEIR HOUSES, CHILDREN AND WORKPLACES), YOU ARE A MAN WHO HAS FAITH IN PRECEPTS THAT THE BUDDHA SAID IS TOGETHER IN FAITH OR BELIEF IN RITUALS ONE OF THREE LOWER FETTERS TO FUTURE STATES OF WOE.
IT IS NOT THAT YOU MUST HAVE NO FAITH OR ACCEPT AS FALSE SCIENTIFIC RULES BUT YOU USE REASON TO BE AWARE THAT ALTHOUGH THEY DESCRIBE REALITY WELL FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THEY HAVE CAVEATS AND MAY NOT BE ABSOLUTELY TRUE OR ALWAYS HOLD (BREAD CAN BE CREATED OUT OF THIN AIR) AND THEY ARE LAWS THAT DETAIN YOU TO THIS WORLD OF SUFFERING THAT YOU SHOULD NOT WORSHIP AS INVIOLABLE OR SUPREME AS MANY DO.
WHY FAITH IN RULES IS A FETTER TO FUTURE WOE:
RULES ARE ARTIFICIALLY FORMULATED BY SELF OR OTHERS AND ARE IMPOSED ON THE INDIVIDUAL EITHER BY HIMSELF OR OTHERS. TO IMPOSE RULES ON YOURSELF IS TO RESTRICT AND IF YOU HAVE FAITH IN THOSE RULES YOU ARE THUS RESTRICTED BY THOSE RULES, NOT A TRULY FREE MAN. A DISCERNING MAN SEES EVERYTHING CLEARLY AND SEES AND KNOWS WHAT IS TRUE AND FALSE, WHAT IS HARMFUL AND BENEFICIAL AND HE DOES NOT NEED RULES TO GUIDE HIM AND THE FACT THAT YOU NEED RULES TO GUIDE YOU MEANS YOU ARE BLIND AND NEED A WALKING STICK OF RULES.
YOU IMPOSE RULES ON YOURSELF OR OTHERS WITH FORCE NEVER REASON AND WHATEVER IS IMPOSED WITH FORCE APPLIES FORCE ON THE MIND AND IS STRESSFUL, IS FALSE BECAUSE FORCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REASON, FORCE MUST ALWAYS ENGENDER RESISTANCE THAT CAN OVERCOME THE IMPOSING FORCE AND THEREFORE THE RULE BOUND PERSON MUST HARBOR AN URGE TO OVERRIDE OR BREAK THE RULE THAT MAY BE SUBCONSCIOUS ESCAPING HIS AWARENESS. THEREFORE THE RULE BOUND PERSON IS A CONFLICTED PERSON WITH FORCEFUL IMPOSITION AND FORCEFUL RESISTANCE AND IF HE GIVES HIMSELF ENTIRELY TO THE RULE HE BECOMES A MINDLESS OR UNQUESTIONING AUTOMATON BUT IF HE OCCASIONALLY BREAKS IT HE HAS RENDERED HIMSELF A LIAR OR HYPOCRITE WHO DOES NOT OBEY RULES THAT HE IMPOSED ON HIMSELF.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY URGE TO BREAK WHAT A RULE PRESCRIBES THEN THE RULE IS MEANINGLESS OR MIGHT AS WELL NOT EXIST BECAUSE IT CAN NEVER BE BROKEN BY YOU AS YOU HAVE NO URGE TO DO SO.
THEREFORE IF RULES REALLY WORK THERE WOULD VERY SOON GO OUT OF FASHION JUST AS IF DOCTORS REALLY CURE YOU THEY WILL ALL BE OUT OF A JOB AND IF THEY DO NOT CURE YOU THEN GOING TO THEM IS LIKE A DEPENDENCY AND THIS BUSINESS OF CURING IS FALSE.
IF YOU CONTINUE TO NEED THAT RULE EVEN FOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE LONG THEN THAT RULE CANNOT BE TRULY WORKING AND YOU ARE ABSURD TO BELIEVE RULES THAT DO NOT WORK.
RULES ARE ALWAYS ENFORCED BY OTHERS ON YOU OR BY YOU ON YOURSELF AND PEOPLE OBEY RULES BECAUSE OF FEAR OF PUNISHMENT OR GRUDINGLY AND THEREFORE THE OBEDIENCE IS FALSE OR CONTRIVED. WHATEVER IS ENFORCED IS FALSE AND THEREFORE IF YOU BELIEVE IN RULES AND OBEYING RULES BY FORCE THEN YOU BELIEVE IN FALSITY AND RIGIDITY AND HEADED FOR WOE.
IF YOU NEED RULES TO STOP YOU OR PEOPLE FROM DOING CERTAIN THINGS THEN THEY WON’T WORK OR GRUDGING WITHOUT CONVICTION AT BEST, IF RULES WORK THEN THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ENFORCE WILL BECOME EXTINCT AND THEY BECOME REDUNDANT OR MEANINGLESS. IF YOU ARE VIRTUOUS YOU DO NOT NEED RULES IF YOU NOT VIRTUOUS ALL THE RULES IN THE WORLD WON’T MAKE YOU VIRTUOUS, ONLY THE APPEARANCE BEING VIRTUOUS TO THOSE WHO THOSE WHO ARE GULLIBLE.
THUS RULES ARE ABOUT ARTIFICIAL FORMULATIONS, ENFORCEMENT BY FORCE NEVER REASON, MAKE BELIEVE, SELF AND OTHER DECEPTION, HYPOCRISY AND THAT IS THE PATH TO INSANITY AND AS THE BUDDHA SAID, FAITH IN RULES IS A FETTER TO FUTURE WOE.
INSTEAD OF TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE AND ACTIONS YOU ARE DEPENDING ON RIGID MEMORIZED & RECALLED RULES TO RUN YOUR LIFE LIKE THE STYLISH PERSON DELEGATING HIS JUKEBOX TO SPEAK AND DO THINGS FOR HIM INSTEAD OF A PERSONAL, HANDS ON APPROACH.
Why stylish people must have faith in rules:
Stylish people must be indecisive or hesitant because there is a constant forceful desire to not change by prolonging and change by changing speed and strength of force in their style and this indecisiveness makes them deadlocked and they must depend blindly or unquestioningly on rules to conduct themselves in speech and behavior. Like the blind man depends on his walking stick, the indecisive simultaneous change and not change stylish person depend on rules to make the decisions for them in their actions.
Rules are meant to be broken:
Rules are meant to be broken and in reality they all can be broken including the creation of fresh bread out of nothing and bringing a dead person alive and so if you have faith in rules that can be broken or not everlasting you yourself too will be broken and that is woe.
Lights out after 9 pm:
You mean you need a rigid rule to turn off the lights after 9 pm to turn out your lights? There is no rational reason that you must turn off your lights after 9 pm and if it is meant not to disturb others then so long as your light does not disturb others why should it be off? If it is meant to make everyone go to sleep early so that there will be peace at night and they will all be fresh the next morning there is no guarantee lights out after 9 pm will achieve that and even with lights still on after 9 pm there can still be peace if you do not make noise and you can still be fresh in the morning if you did not indulge in idle chatter with the lights on.
Thus rules do not necessarily work and they are artificially constraining and if you believe in rules you are a ruled man.
Examples of household rules: no shoes in house (but in Australia they wear shoes into houses), rinse your dishes (Australia don’t rinse detergent of their cutlery), dog not allowed in. Because they have this faith in this rule no dogs in house some people get very upset if their dog ventured into their houses.
I do not need rules:
I do not need rules to tell what I should or should not say, do or should not do, what I should eat or not eat but if you need rules to guide you, you are a ruled man and it is your rules that are dictating to you.
If people watch themselves carefully they conform to rules that they may not be aware exist, so accustomed are they to their unspoken rules. For example when they arrive at a temple it is an unspoken rule they pick three joss sticks, light and offer it to the gods and they believe it works, they have done good and after lifelong practice they feel uneasy if they do not do it, they have become mindless slaves.
Some parents impose rules that their children must be back home by 9pm and after lifelong obedience the person might feel great unease if he is still out after 9 pm when he has valid reasons to be out like night shift as doctor. One thing about rules is that people do not understand the purpose of the rules they obey and it is obeyed blindly and they are therefore robots of those rules.
East Asian countries like Japan are especially rule bound and though they may appear orderly severe mind bending tensions must seethe beneath and that may be why Japan is reputed to be one of the world’s top pedophile nations and Japanese go overseas for sex tourism.
I TRULY DO NOT NEED OR SUBSCRIBE TO RULES BUT IF MOST PEOPLE WERE TO EXAMINE THEMSELVES CAREFULLY THEY ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RULE BOUND.
Anyone who goes against himself must need rules:
Anyone who goes against himself, who says and does things for the purpose of impressing, pleasing, intimidating or dominating others causing himself insoluble mounting stress, restlessness and distraction must need rules because he is going against himself and does not trust himself, he is suffering and has no answer to his suffering that he himself is responsible, he is hesitant, lost and therefore he must seek rigid rules to obey and be the source of what to do or say. A stressed man is harassed and cannot think clearly and need rules to provide an instant answer of what to do or say.
Many of the rules that rule stylish people are unspoken, they severely underestimate the extent of rules in their lives and they are unaware they have faith in rules that the Buddha said is one of three lower fetters with doubt and uncertainty and self identity views to future woe nor are they concerned enough to rectify themselves even after I have pointed this out. They have far better things to do like make money.
Applying the rule on Jesus:
Many rules are unspoken, automatically applied without the person’s awareness and often people do not realize what they are doing is applying rules to themselves and others that they have great faith in and are heading for woe. Some officious people will reject your application making you return on another day based on a technicality:

When they came to Caperna-um, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher pay the tax?" He said, "Yes." And when he came home, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tribute? From their sons or from others?" And when he said, "From others," Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free. However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel; take that and give it to them for me and for yourself."

Reflecting that laws or rules are indiscriminate and those who have faith in laws are rigid slaves or robots of rigid laws or rules, the collectors of the half shekel tax wanted to apply the law or rule on Jesus not realizing that laws and rules are contrived or false, artificial formulations by men and there can be exemptions rather than rigid across board enforcement.

Because God is the ultimate ruler of the earth and Jesus is His son, Jesus is exempt from paying any taxes (because rulers do not collect tax from their sons) but because men do not recognise that Jesus is the son of the ultimate ruler, Jesus paid the tax from the mouth of a fish.

Amongst the disciples, Peter has some notoriety not just here but in incidences elsewhere and he un-righteously told a lie that Jesus paid the tax when he did not and being aware, Jesus corrected the lie (after the event) by making a fish produce the coin that would be used to pay the tax. This is an indication that all lies are not harmless but serious in Jesus’ view.
You do not go around collecting taxes without a rule to collect taxes but you are bound by the rule or obeying the rule to go around collecting taxes and therefore by going around with alacrity to collect taxes the taxman is practicing faith in the rule and many take their jobs with enthusiastic faith that they are doing something full of meaning.
A Man Bound By Rules Is A Robot:
A robot's behaviour is bound by the rules written in the software that drives it and in a similar way the rule bound man is given to the rules that he obeys to a greater extent than he or casual observers surmise.
A man of rules is also a man of rituals, he likes to perform sequences of movements like dancing, tai chi, yoga, exercises not in a live way but in a rigid stereotyped or rehashed way and therefore people with faith in rules and rituals are biological robots programmed to do or say certain things that differ in different robots, with no mind of their own and headed for continued woe even for another eternity.
Why Lawyers Are Headed For Woe:
You would not be studying and practicing law if you did not have an interest or fascination for law and even if you are in it for the money or prestige, because forceful practice of law is conditioning, you become a convert. Even if your enthusiasm for laws is faked to impress customers, you soon develop a liking for laws that is your bread and butter and because the study, practice & applying of laws is the applying of rules and faith in (accepting as true) rules is a fetter to future woe, lawyers especially those who like their professions are particularly likely to head for future states of woe.
LAW IS ALL ABOUT RULES AND THE STUDY AND PRACTICE OF LAW IS ALL ABOUT MEMORIZING AND APPLYING LAWS AND THEREFORE IF YOU ARE A LAWYER YOU ARE GIVEN TO LAWS AND IS LIKELY IF NOT CERTAINLY FASCINATED AND HAVE GREAT FAITH IN LAWS OR RULES AND THEREFORE HAVE A STRONG FETTER TO FUTURE WOE.

All precepts or rules are false:
If precepts or rules are true and beneficial the Buddha would not say that faith or accepting them as true is a fetter to future woe because what is true cannot lead to woe. It is only because it is in the mind of the Buddha that precepts or rules are false, contrived and harmful that he said they are all fetters to future woe.

Whatever is true does not require faith or believe in as true and it is only what is false or you cannot be sure is true that requires faith in. Therefore that precepts or rules requires faith or accepting them as true indicates people who practice precepts or rules cannot see or know they are true and therefore must have faith or belief that they are true and they therefore may be false and in fact are all false because if whatever is true does not require faith.

On the other hand the Buddha is telling you to have faith in him or accepting he is true because he knows he is true but you cannot see or know he is true and therefore he is telling you that it is OK for you to have faith or trust in him or accept him and what he prescribed as true.
“Well, I Tell You What”
Ask the person who spoke or those who hear whether there is anything wrong they are likely to see no wrong when it is nonsense. If you want to tell me something cut of the style and tell it to me, the 'well' and 'tell you what' is meaningless or nonsense and as a result of believing it is meaningful you are headed for mad perception.
It is partly reflecting his hesitancy or uncertainty that he has to “Well, I tell you what”, in that case he should say “I am not sure” rather well, tell you what and therefore here as everywhere else he does say what he means and mean what he says (he means he is not sure, not 'tell you what').
There is a crucial difference between 'tell you what' and Jesus' “I tell you the truth” in which Jesus is saying something meaningful that what he says that you cannot see is the truth so he is conveying something meaningful not indulging in beating around the bush.
Headline: Don't worry, Be Happy:
Something is nonsense if it is cannot be fulfilled. If it is possible for people to not worry and be happy merely by you telling them or they telling themselves then there will be no worrying people and everyone will be happy. People are never masters of their worries or unhappiness but they are slaves and slaves cannot choose when and when not to worry or to be happy and unhappy and therefore the statement is nonsense and yet if the person did not believe what he said was not meaningful he would not have said it.
Until you stop going against yourself by expressing a style or using force to constantly prolong, change speed and loudness, it is impossible for you not to worry or be unhappy because you are hurting yourself constantly churning out insoluble stress, restlessness and distraction and as soon as you stop doing so, it is in the nature of things that you will have nothing to worry or be unhappy about.

Sort of & ‘kinda’:
There many who always use vague language like he ‘sort of’ said so, he ‘kinda’ liked it. This reflects their uncertainty that is the same uncertainty that the Buddha said led to future states of woe.
The reason people use approximate language as above is because they are rehashing approximately from their mental jukeboxes. Throwing a magazine down is approximately placing it because it is standardized and rehashed. If people watch themselves carefully their movements eg in changing gears or steering is approximate with little or no attention approximately from their mental jukeboxes and they are robots misrepresenting themselves as real alive beings.
All smiles are false and nothing to do with reason:
If you are smiling and you cannot tell me what is the meaning of your smile you must be a person who does not know what he is doing.
So what is the meaning of your smile?
All smiles are meant to transmit like that may be false or true. It is seldom genuine true like but usually false like just to get along with others.
Even if it is genuine like, like is merely the stirring in speed and strength of your mental force of going against self under the control of the force of self preservation at the sight of something that has nothing to do with reason or meaning and it involves using force not just to move your face muscles but use force to prolong, change speed and strength as you smile that can and is transmitted to your recipient to stir his mental force harming not benefiting him and therefore by smiling you are going against yourself and the other person with debts not merit.
How did the police know where to find the body?
The police found her body and are in possession of her personal belongings and so they must know who killed Altanturya if it were not these two policemen because without being informed by someone who knew what happened the police cannot have found the site of the crime and come into possession of the articles.
There is no suggestion that a member of the public who heard the explosion or stumbled upon the crime scene informed the police and if it was so surely the police would highlight this and seize on this ‘golden’ opportunity to exonerate their colleagues because it can then be said credibly that someone outside the police force did it but by admitting that Altanturya was taken unlawfully into custody to police headquarter where she was not charged or put in a lock up with her personal effects removed, it is hard to shirk responsibility by saying a man with a concealing hat drove the Vitara that took her away on her final journey.
Why have the police or court shown no inclination to enquire who this driver was? Surely if Azilah was approaching the vehicle it was either to talk to someone in it or to have a look and he should have a good idea who the driver was.
IF YOU TAKE SOMEONE UNLAWFULLY INTO CUSTODY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER SAFETY AND IF YOU CASUALLY ENTRUST HER TO ANOTHER WHO ENDED UP MURDERING HER, YOU ARE RECKLESS AND HAS GRAVE KARMA. IF HE KNEW THE DRIVER AND REFUSE HIS IDENTITY THAT HE VERY WELL DESERVE TO DIE FOR HIM FOR BEING SUCH A FAITHFUL PROTECTOR.
Wrong footing the opposition:
UMNO is alleged to be attempting to wrong foot the opposition by spreading rumors as to when the elections will be or to kept it a close guarded secret. By keeping it a close guarded secret it is unfair advantage with karma that is far more serious than people believe and if you willfully want to deceive the opposition with a wrong date to again gain unfair advantage that too is deadly karma apart from heading for mad perception because if you want others to believe what is false, you yourself must also act as convincingly as you can what is false is true that you do not realize you will lose control of your deception and eat your own shit in the future when you totally believe what is false is true.
ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DECEIVE ANOTHER THAT WHAT IS FALSE IS TRUE MUST ALSO USE FORCE NEVER REASON TO ACT IN MIND AND BODY AS CONVINCINGLY AS POSSIBLE THAT WHAT HE IS SAYING OR DOING THAT IS FALSE IS TRUE AND WITH REPEATEDLY PRACTICE OR FORCEFUL CONDITIONING HE HIMSELF INCREASINGLY PERCEIVES WHAT HE SAYS OR DOES IS FALSE IS TRUE PRESAGING AT TIME IN THE FUTURE WHEN HIS MIND DEGENERATES OR THERE IS A SITUATIONAL CRISIS WHEN HE TOTALLY BELIEVE WHAT IS FALSE IS TRUE AND THAT IS MADDENING NEVER A PLEASURE.
Why people trip whilst walking:
If you watch people walking carefully, their walk is stereotyped in the sense that each left step is the same as the one preceding and each right step is the same as the preceding, produced standardized to fit approximately into the current walking situation and whatever is standardized cannot fit a specific situation precisely and therefore can be caught out and so they occasionally stub themselves or twist their ankle or are tripped if an unexpected obstruction or unevenness happens to be present.
It is impossible if each step is produced specific for the occasion that you failed to take into account the unevenness or obstacle and it is only because you are not paying attention, your steps are mindlessly reproduced like a factory production line that it can be caught out so you trip and fall flat on your face.
IT IS A GREAT ABIDING DECEPTION THAT PEOPLE PERCEIVE THEMSELVES AND OTHERS AS GENUINE PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE ALL SOPHISTICATED BIOLGICAL ROBOTS WHOSE BEHAVIOR IS ALWAYS REHASHED STANDARDIZED BY MEMORY AS IMITATION NOT TRULY LIVE BEHAVIOR. THERE IS A BEING IN THERE THAT EXPERIENCES PAIN AND EMOTIONS BUT HE IS MERELY A VOYEUR AND OVERRATED DISC JOCKEY PRESSING START AND STOP BUTTONS FOR BEHAVIOR ENCODED IN THEIR MENTAL JUKEBOXES.
Walking by automation:
If you can successfully walk without paying attention (not always but most of the time excepting the occasions you tripped, stubbed or twisted your ankle) you must be walking by automation just as you breathe and digest by automation. Whatever is automated must be standardized not tailored for each specific instance.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WALK AUTOMATED WITH EACH STEP TAILORED FOR EACH PIECE OF GROUND BUT EACH STEP MUST BE TAILORED ACCORDING TO YOUR EXPECTATION OF PRESUMPTION THAT THE GROUND IS ALSO STANDARDIZED, THE SAME FOR EACH STEP.
THE FACT THAT PEOPLE CAN STILL WALK WHILE NOT PAYING ATTENTION IS AN INDICATION THEIR WALK AS IN EVERYTHING ELSE THEY DO ARE AUTOMATED, BY REHASH.
No One In His Right Mind Will Knowingly Kill Himself:
Unless they are mad, no one in his right mind will knowingly behave in a way that is killing himself and because ordinary people are not yet mad and their actions are killing themselves with stress, restlessness and distraction apart from exposing themselves specifically foolishly to deception and danger from others, they must be acting by rote like a robot, they have entrusted the task of behaving to their mental jukebox or parrot in their minds believing their parrot will always take good care of them when the parrot is hurting them, increasingly execute behavior without authority that sometimes is inappropriate to the situation at hand and becoming increasingly unruly with age.
How did Altanturya’s case come about?
Altanturya was not killed in a marketplace or an accessible place, where it is easy for people and thence police to discover nor did she write to say she would be killed and where and how, even though she disappeared, her companions did not know what happened to her and there is no indication that a member of the public stumbled upon the murder alerted the police so how did the police learn about the murder in such detail as to discover the body?
It is likely when these two policemen brought her to police headquarters there were eyes and ears who saw and heard what happened and these eyes and ears informed higher authorities that are not necessarily aligned with Najib but may be aligned with their boss Badawi who then took issue and ordered the whole scheme be brought to the open perhaps to gain political mileage.
Careful who you trust:
The foolish person in awe of his political master’s powers may trust him when he tells you not to worry and go ahead to kill somebody, he will make sure you are not caught but the wise person will realize that even though he is very powerful there is danger in that there may be rival powers who have eyes and ears who has the means of bringing you to account even with a powerful protector.
THE FOOLISH PERSON IS TAKEN IN BY GUARANTEES OF IMPUNITY BY OTHERS WHILST THE WISE PERSON WILL REALIZE THAT SUCH GUARANTEES MAY HAVE CAVEATS AND AS POWERFUL AS YOUR GUARANTOR IS, THERE MAY BE RIVAL POWERS THAT WILL NOT NECESSARILY ACCEDE TO YOUR WISHES.
Fine & well, well, well:
You hear people say, “Fine, but tell me how you worked it out?” and they do not realize they are perpetrating falsity. When you say ‘fine’ you are saying it is good or you agree but your inquisition denotes disagreement or reservation and therefore what he meant was ‘not fine’ not ‘fine’ and his fine is false or sarcastic. It is meaningless and unnecessary to say ‘fine’ except to reflect your domineering nature as if the other person needs your approval.
In the same way people say, “Well, I have to think about it” or “Well, well, well, what have we here” they mean the opposite of what they say that is irrelevant and only reflects self identity. If it is truly well or fine he will not have to think about it but he means the opposite, it is not well or fine which is why he will have to think about it. It is not well, well, well or fine, fine, fine, what have we got here but the person is expressing mock or false pleasant surprise but he disapproves what he has found so he should be saying, “Not well, not well, not well, what have we got here?”
It is totally unnecessary to say ‘well’ let alone ‘well, well, well’ but it is for style to impress, express emotion not reason and not let your yes be yes only by prolonging or not moving on. Because it is not necessary to say ‘fine’ or ‘well, well, well’ and you think they are full of meaning you have false perception that you do not realize will end in mad perception.
THEREFORE ORDINARY PEOPLE FAR UNDERESTIMATE THE EXTENT OF LYING THEY PERPETRATE AND RECEIVE FROM OTHERS. THEY HEAR BUT DO NOT HEAR OR UNDERSTAND THE CONTRADICTION OF WHAT THEY HEAR AND EVEN THOUGH THEY DO NOT, THEY MUST EXPERIENCE CONFLICT WHICH IS EVEN MORE AGONIZING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SEE THE SOURCE OF THEIR CONFLICTS.
Seeing, knowing & believing:
If you saw or heard you do not need to know or believe.
If you did not see, then you need to know or learn how to work it out using scrupulous logic of what you know can and cannot happen and if you cannot work it out or know you must resort to believing or accepting as true what may or may not be true and that is dangerous. Thus believing or having faith or conviction is the last resort for a man who is devoted to truth.
The more you see and know, the less you need to believe. The less you see or know the more must you believe and be wrack by doubt and uncertainty.
Arrogance and casualness:
It reflects foolish arrogance and casualness as if they are immune to prosecution that made Azilah and his underling take Altanturya to police headquarter before disposing of her as if everyone who sees and hears there will acquiesce with them. This must partly reflect a rampant culture of blasé disregard for the law by the law makers. If you want to commit an heinous crime, surely you should let in as few people in as possible and to take her into police headquarters in full view of everyone is a height in hubris and inviting trouble which they got because there is a powerful boss in the prime minister who is in charge of police who can take issue.
Rumsfeld Very Nasty Man:
Rumsfeld is a very nasty man who publicly, before gathered soldiers, sarcastically thanked the American soldier who blew the whistle on the Abu Ghraib atrocities. He may think he is very smart, by the way telling other soldiers who the culprit was so that he was a target of hate by fellow soldiers but Rumsfeld is an evil man heading for deep hell for his vindictive lying nature:
The US soldier who exposed the abuse of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison found himself a marked man after his anonymity was blown in the most astonishing way by Donald Rumsfeld.
And then he was sitting in a crowded Iraqi canteen with hundreds of soldiers and Donald Rumsfeld came on the television to thank Joe Darby by name for handing in the photographs.
"I don't think it was an accident because those things are pretty much scripted," Mr Darby says.
"But I did receive a letter from him which said he had no malicious intent, he was only doing it to praise me and he had no idea about my anonymity.
"I really find it hard to believe that the secretary of defence of the United States has no idea about the star witness for a criminal case being anonymous."
His wife had no idea that Mr Darby had handed in those photos, but when he was named, she had to flee to her sister's house which was then vandalised with graffiti. Many in his home town called him a traitor.
"I knew that some people wouldn't agree with what I did," he says.
"You have some people who don't view it as right and wrong. They view it as: I put American soldiers in prison over Iraqis."
That animosity in his home town has meant that he still cannot return there.
After Donald Rumsfeld blew his cover, he was bundled out of Iraq very quickly and lived under armed protection for the first six months.
Lim Kit Siang’s Deafening Silence:
Quote: It is most regrettable and irresponsible on the part of both the Finance Minister and Transport Minister that they had maintained a deafening silence despite many disturbing reports in the past two months about the RM4.6 billion PKFZ scandal – in particular recent reports in Malaysiakini and Singapore Business Times.Only very loud noises can deafen and if you think silence can deafen you have false perception that you may be presumptuous that you are so good that you cannot go mad.
I am not partisan so that I will turn a blind eye to falsity from supposedly ‘good’ people like Lim Kit Siang or Anwar. Of course you cannot compare them with UMNO or MIC or MCA leaders but you will be a fool to stick your neck to vouch for their goodness. Anwar & Lim Kit Siang are also great actors just like their detractors.
Rumsfeld rubbed the salt in:
Even the person himself expressed skepticism that Rumsfeld’s subsequent letter of apology stating he did not intend to publicly expose him could be genuine.
Rumsfeld has got to be a very sick or mixed up, careless & stupid person if he did not realize that by mentioning his name publicly he is exposing the person and potentially subjecting him to a lynch mob, that the affair brought him much trouble and mud in his face and so he could not be sincere in his public thanks to him but he is using his thanks as an excuse to expose him thereby endangering him and his subsequently letter of apology rather than motivated by genuine contrition is again wanting the other person to eat more shit, that Rumsfeld is indeed grateful to him for all this trouble and it was all an accident or mistake exposing him. It is like a person who deliberately runs you down with his car and telling you it is a terrible big mistake. What he does not realize is that he is headed for terrible mind warping torment.
IF YOUR LETTER OF APOLOGY IS INSINCERE YOU ARE TRYING TO SOW DOUBTFUL AGONY IN THE PERSON TO THINK PERHAPS THE WICKED EXPOSURE WAS AN ACCIDENT AND THE THOUGHT THAT IT CANNOT BE AN ACCIDENT.
I KNOW, NOT BELIEVE RUMSFELD IS DOUBLE CROSSING LIAR:
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR RUMSFELD TO BE TRULY THANKFUL TO THE WHISTLEBLOWER FOR EXPOSING THE ABU GHRAIB ATROCITIES BECAUSE IT BROUGHT HIM MUCH TROUBLE AND DISCREDIT THAT ONLY A MAD OR MASOCHISTIC MAN CAN TRULY BE GRATEFUL ABOUT. THEREFORE HE WAS USING HIS THANKS AS AN EXCUSE TO EXPOSE AND ENDANGER THE WHISTLEBLOWER AND TO AFTERWARDS WRITE A LETTER OF APOLOGY TO HIM IS EVEN MORE SARCASTIC (MEANING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU SAY). WHAT HE DOES NOT REALIZE IS THAT GOD CAN DESTROY YOUR SOUL IN HELL AND HE IS HEADED FOR TERRIBLE TORMENT. IT IS NO MISTAKE THAT HE WEARS VERY THICK GLASSES AND SEES WITH A SQUINT, HE IS STRUGGLING TO SEE THE TRUTH.
How to tell a true thank you:
You can only thank someone if he has done something for you that you truly appreciated like rescued you or pointed the way out of suffering for you.
For Rumsfeld to be truly thankful to the whistleblower he must become a reformed man, denouncing what has happened at Abu Ghraib and bringing all those (including himself) to account and resign to take responsibility for the mess as he should.
Because there is no evidence he is a reformed man, he is still ‘sticking to his guns’ today, his public thank you must be sarcastic.
Lim Kit Siang Invented Deafening Silence?
If you agree that there were others before him who have used the phrase ‘deafening silence’ before then either Lim Kit Siang independently invented the phrase by himself or he copied it from others.
Reason or understanding why is never needed to copy but you merely need listening or reading thence memorizing and retrieval from your mental jukebox to copy possibly because you are attracted by (like) the seeming contradiction of deafening and silence, most likely not realizing that it is evident falsity or preposterousness that made it sound ‘so right’.
This nonsensical phrase may have come about by someone who wanted to distinguish himself by style not substance, the combo of 'deafening' and 'silence' may have by chance fell together in his mind and he felt thrilled by its nonsensicality to tender it for others to copy by using it.
Many catchy phrases rapidly become popular currency because people are great copycats and are attracted to what sounds outrageous or nonsensical that they even perceive as profound.
If you agree that beings in this world can copy their behavior from others and you do not need reason or understanding of what you are copying to copy, only accurate perception, thence memorization and knowing approximately the appropriate contexts to regurgitate them, it may also be possible to copy your logic or how you reason from others and therefore it may be possible or the reality that the vast majority of humans are just copycats unable to truly think for themselves who have imported wholesale their behavior in speech and motion, how they posture themselves and even how they reason from society or others.
HERE AND IN MANY MORE INSTANCES THAT ESCAPE THEIR REALIZATION PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD ARE MERE UNTHINKING COPYCATS & THERE ARE VERY FEW PIECES OF BEHAVIOR, SPEECH OR SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE THAT ARE TRULY NEW OR UNPRECEDENTED BUT THEY REFLECT LATERAL THINKING OR VARIATIONS OF THE SAME THEMES OR LINES OF THINKING IN CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES. IN OTHER WORDS A LOT OF CHANGE OR PROGRESS BY HUMANITY ARE APPARENT THAN REAL.
I am definitely not a copycat:
I am definitely not a copycat because there is no one in this world, not even animals and insects who can move or vocalize without forceful constant prolonging, changing speed or strength of force and unless they independently invented their versions of variations of constant prolonging, changing speed or strength of force, all beings in this world must have copied their styles from others partly consciously because it is deemed a desirable style (as when Malaysians speak like Aussies when they go to Australia) or partly unconscious.
There is no one who says the many things I say, interpreted what Jesus and the Buddha said the way I have from whom I can copy from but you will find copies of whatever others say or interpreted of what the Buddha or Jesus said that either they independently invented or they copied from others.
HOW CAN I BE A COPYCAT WHEN THERE ARE NO COPIES OF NO STYLE OR NO NOT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND WHAT I SAY IN THIS WORLD?
Why Silence Cannot Deafen:
The reason why explosions deafen is because muscles automatically pull the three sound conducting bones (malleus, incus and stapes) apart (it may be the stapedius muscles stiffen the ossicles causing them to be not responsive to sound) in order to protect the sensitive hearing apparatus from damage and because the bones are kept apart there can be no sound transmission and therefore no sound heard afterwards and this deafness slowly recovers.
Exposure of the ear to silence never causes the muscles to pull the ear ossicles apart and so afterwards the ear's hearing remains intact or not deafened.
Therefore very loud sounds will deafen or cause a temporary loss of hearing afterwards but silence cannot deafen or cause a temporary loss of hearing afterwards.
There may be those who will argue that because silence has no sound it is therefore deafening or unable to hear. Deafness is defined as the temporary or permanent inability to hear, not the absence of sounds, loud sounds can deafen because they temporarily deactivate the bones of hearing conduction so that until restored, the person cannot hear but in silence the bones are never deactivated and the person can hear but he hears silence only because there are no sounds, not that he is deafened or the silence has deafened him.
Catch phrases:
Catch phrases, of which deafening silence is one are constantly changing and there are many around if you care to examine.
For instance giving things a spin is a nice current catch phrase to say to twists the facts around to favor oneself. Another current catch phrase (America is a popular source for them) is ‘outing’ someone meaning exposing him.
The existence of many catch phrases that many soon pick up and use partly to impress others that they are progressive, at the cutting edge (another catch phrase) of society or the ‘in’ crowd or they are smart or ‘groovy’ (another catch phrase) indicates behavior and speech can be copied and are copied all the time and in fact the entire lives of most ordinary people consist in looking out for and memorize to regurgitate as appropriately as possible what and how they perceive, think, speak, do, wear and pose.
You copy with emotion or force never with reason or understanding why. If Lim Kit Siang had copied saying ‘deafening silence’ using reason he would have understood that silence cannot deafen, only very loud sounds can and therefore it is false and unless he enjoys falsity or lying, something he is frequently berating against, he should not use the phrase.
Logic can be copied too. For example, “I smile because I like someone” is both a personal belief and a form of logic that others can adopt as their own to similarly adulate liking and smiling. Because it is based on the false premise that liking is good, the smiling that is due to liking must also be wholesome. But if you consider that liking is nothing more than the controlled stirring in speed and strength of your mental force of going against self upon seeing someone that has nothing to do with reason, that is totally unnecessary and stresses your mind by applying force then the smiling that ensues from liking is also without reason because it is again merely not just the use of mental force but use of prolonging, constantly changing speed and strength mental force to fashion a smile that has nothing to do with reason and applies force on the mind stressing it.
JUST AS YOU CAN COPY THE LOGIC AND BELIEF ‘I SMILE BECAUSE I LIKE SOMEONE’ YOU CAN COPY ALL FORMS OF LOGIC FROM OTHERS AND SO IT IS THAT YOU CAN LIVE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE VERY WELL BEING A TOTAL COPYCAT IN HOW AND WHAT YOU PERCEIVE, THINK OR REASON, SPEAK OR MOVE. BRAINWASHING AND PROPAGANDA WORKS BECAUSE FALSE LOGIC CAN BE INSTILLED BY REPETITIVE FORCE DESPITE RESISTANCE UNTIL IT STICKS.
I will get you a drink:
Some people feel obliged to get you a drink or produce food when you visit them and it is a rule that they may not be aware that they were indoctrinated in by their parents such that they now feel uncomfortable if they did not offer you a drink.
IT IS NOT THAT YOU MUST NOT OFFER OTHERS A DRINK WHEN THEY VISIT YOU BUT YOU MUST SEE THE SITUATION AT HAND AND NOT ACROSS THE BOARD OFFER EVERYONE A DRINK THAT IS INSINCERE, OBEYING A COMPUNCTION THAN GENUINELY INTENDED.
HERE AS IN MANY OTHER PLACES, ORDINARY PEOPLE’S LIVES ARE RULED BY RULES THAT ARE OFTEN UNSPOKEN OR UNAWARE AND THEY HAVE FAITH IN RULES (OTHERWISE WHY OBEY AND PRACTICE RULES?) THAT THE BUDDHA SAID IS A FETTER TO FUTURE WOE.
Why the counselor must be a person not a spirit of the mind:
I know, not believe the counselor Jesus described is a person who will come not a spirit in the mind.
The Buddha said if there was a person who was born to the benefit of all beings then rightfully speaking he is the one. Without the Buddha being born, achieving enlightenment and teaching the world, it would not have come upon and benefited from his teaching. Even his deputies who were themselves highly developed beings seeking a way out of suffering themselves could not achieve enlightenment but had to wait for his guidance to be enlightened. There is nobody before and after the Buddha who has spoken of the many things that the Buddha has spoken.
According to the Buddha he was a being in his penultimate existence in heaven before he was born into this world. If it was possible for the Buddha to achieve enlightenment in heaven and preach from heaven, he would not have come to this world and it is only because it is impossible for him to preach from heaven that he was born on earth on this his last existence to guide those who will listen to safety and the end of all suffering. If you were not suffering but enjoying yourself the Buddha would not need to teach you the way out of suffering.
In the same way, Jesus is the Son of God, a being in heaven and if it is possible for him to teach and perform miracles from heaven, it would not be necessary for him to come and it is only because it is impossible to preach and perform miracles from heaven that the Father sent him. And if you are discerning you will realize no man before or since Jesus spoke of what Jesus said or performed the miracles he did and therefore without him coming and doing so, no one else can and will.
Thus if it is impossible for the Buddha and Jesus to teach and perform miracles (the Buddha performed many miracles too), then it is surely impossible for the counselor to perform his mission as described by Jesus without coming personally to this world.
Jesus said the counselor will teach you all things, he will convince the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. If the counselor was in your mind as Christian scholars have interpreted, and he is teaching you all things, will convince you of sin, righteousness and judgment and you still need Jesus to tell you he dwells with you and shall be in you, he must be a hard to see or false counselor of the mind. If the counselor is already in the mind, it is false for Jesus to say he shall be in you because he is already in you. If the counselor was a spirit in the mind it does not matter to say that the counselor will not speak on his own authority but what he hears he will speak because a being speaking in your mind will be extraordinary nor can you help not listening to him.
Silence Is Golden:
There is a song that goes by the name “Silence Is Golden” (but my eyes still see).
You have false perception that you fail to realize will end in mad perception if you think silence is not speaking when it is no sounds and silence is golden when you mean it is treasured or valued and what he actually meant was that silence is terrible because he wants to tell this girl that he is attracted to that the boy she is attracted to will hurt her but he is afraid she will rebuke him.
Golden does not equal treasured or valued because different people have different values. Gold is not a treasure to the Buddha or Jesus but silence when provoked is a treasure to or valued by both, therefore to equate gold with treasure is a presumption. There is nothing golden in silence and to perceive it is so by saying so that you want yourself and others to embrace is debt incurring mischief and courting mad perception.
Not only is silence not golden as expressed but what he meant is the opposite because he meant silence is terrible because he has this hard to resist urge to speak to her but he fears rejection. If you are a sarcastic person who can say the opposite of what you mean you have nothing good to offer to her and instead you too want to manipulate her for selfish purposes like the boy who is deceiving her.
If the singer meant what he was singing, he should sing this: Silence is terrible, terrible for my eyes still see not silence is golden, golden, for my eyes still see. Therefore here as in many places people think they mean what they say and say what they mean but they are deluding themselves.
IF YOU LET YOUR YES BE YES ONLY YOU SAY LOUD SOUNDS CAN DEAFEN OR TEMPORARILY DEACTIVATE THE EAR OSSICLES TO PREVENT YOU FROM HEARING BUT IF YOU DO NOT LET YOUR YES BE YES ONLY YOU SAY EVEN SILENCE CAN DEAFEN, SILENCE OR NO SOUNDS CAN SIMILARLY DEACTIVATE THE SOUND CONDUCTION SYSTEM TO CAUSE TEMPORARY DEAFNESS.
Cutting edge does not mean the forefront:
It is not letting your yes be yes only and it is your (irrational) desire to be different by style (not substance) that spurs you to coin new phrases to say the same old things when there are established more precise words available.
You have false perception that will end in mad perception if you think that being ‘at the cutting edge’ means being at the forefront and the fact that he and listeners see nothing wrong reflect their failure to understand what they are hearing. Being at the cutting edge means you are at the sharp edge of a blade that does not necessarily mean being at the forefront because it can also mean that you or your head will be cut off. If you said being at the forefront, it is understood you mean you are foremost, a pioneer of progress.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PRE EXISTING WORDS LIKE FOREFRONT THAT YOU MUST RESORT TO NEW WORDS LIKE 'CUTTING EDGE' THAT YOU MUST LEARN TO PERCEIVE FALSELY AS MEANING 'FOREFRONT' WHEN IT JUST MEANS THE EDGE THAT CUTS?

THEREFORE HERE AS IN MANY PLACES PEOPLE WHO USE WORDS MAY THINK THEY UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORDS THEY USE BUT THEY DO NOT, THEY DID NOT COIN THE WORDS OR PHRASES BUT THEY ADOPTED THEM OR COPIED THEM FROM OTHERS WITH LIKING OR FORCEFUL ATTRACTION FOR THE NEW PHRASES, NOT WITH UNDERSTANDING WHY THEY SHOULD USE THE NEW PHRASES AND THEY ARE COPYCATS AND ROBOTS RATHER THAN LIVE SPECIFIC FOR THE OCCASION BEINGS WHO MEAN EVERY WORD THEY SAY AND SAY EVERY WORD THEY MEAN.

THE SEVEN TREASURES NOT GOLDS:
NOTICE THE BUDDHA CALLED CONVICTION, VIRTUE, CONSCIENCE, CONCERN, LISTENING, GENEROSITY AND DISCERNMENT THE SEVEN TREASURES NOT THE SEVEN FORMS OF GOLD BECAUSE GOLD DOES NOT EQUAL TREASURE.
THE MAN WITH FAITH IN PRECEPTS OR RULES WILL REMIND BY HEART THE SEVEN TREASURES AS DECLARED BY THE BUDDHA AND BE ABLE TO REEL THEM OFF BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS WITHOUT TRULY UNDERSTANDING THEM OR PUTTING THEM INTO PRACTICE. FOR INSTANCE HE CAN TELL YOU LISTENING IS ONE OF THE SEVEN TREASURES BUT HE IS OPINIONATED AND HAS CLOSED HIS EARS TO VIEWS THAT DIFFER FROM HIM. THE MAN WITH NO FAITH IN RULES MAY OR MAY NOT REMEMBER WHAT THE SEVEN TREASURES ARE BUT HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE BUDDHA IS SAYING AND HE LISTENS, OPENS HIS EARS TO THE WORDS OF OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE GREATER DISCERNMENT THAN HIM AND THEREFORE LEARNS AND IMPROVES HIMSELF. HE HAS DEVELOPED TRUE CONCERN AND CONSCIENCE RATHER THAN PAY LIP SERVICE WHILST BEHAVING IN A WAY THAT HE HAS TURNED A BLIND EYE TO ITS LACK OF CONSCIENCE OR CONCERN.
Dhana Sutta: Treasure
"Monks, there are these seven treasures. Conviction (belief), virtue, conscience, concern, listening, generosity, discernment.
"And what is the treasure of conviction (belief)? There is the case where a noble disciple is convinced of the Tathagata's Awakening.
"And what is the treasure of virtue? There is the case where a noble disciple abstains from taking life, stealing, illicit sexual conduct, lying, taking intoxicants.
"And what is the treasure of conscience? There is the case where a noble disciple feels shame at [the thought of engaging in] bodily / verbal / mental misconduct. This is called the treasure of conscience.
"And what is the treasure of concern? There is the case where a noble disciple feels concern for [the suffering that results from] bodily, verbal, mental misconduct.
"And what is the treasure of listening? There is the case where a noble disciple has heard much, has retained what he/she has heard. (Many are too falsely conceited, think they know everything to listen to what others might say. If you think you know everything when there are many things you do not know and what you know is false, then you are falsely conceited.)
"And what is the treasure of generosity? There is the case of a noble disciple, his awareness cleansed of stinginess, living at home, freely generous, openhanded, delighting in the distribution of alms.
"And what is the treasure of discernment? There is the case where a noble disciple is discerning, endowed with discernment of arising & passing away -- noble, penetrating, leading to the right ending of stress.
These, monks, are the seven treasures.Whoever, man or woman, has these treasuresis said not to be poor, has not lived in vain.
Routines:
If people watch themselves carefully they have routines that they stick to religiously and get upset if it is disrupted. One routine may be exercise at 6 pm and dinner at 8 pm. Get up at 6 am, prayers from 6.10 to 7am.
IT IS NOT THAT YOU MUST NOT OR CANNOT HAVE ROUTINES BUT PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED TO STICK TO THEIR ROUTINES AND GET UPSET IF THEY CANNOT AND THEY HAVE FAITH THAT THEIR ROUTINES ARE MEANINGFUL WHEN IT ISN'T OTHERWISE EVERYONE WILL HAVE THE SAME ROUTINE. IF YOU DO HAVE ROUTINES THAT YOU BECOME ATTACHED TO, YOU MAY BE THE MAN THE BUDDHA IS DESCRIBING WHEN HE SAID FAITH IN PRECEPTS IS A FETTER TO FUTURE WOE.
Stirring vigorously:
If you hear people making a cup of beverage you may hear them stirring much longer than is in truth required, sometimes they do so because they are somnolently lost in thought, sometimes they have this false perception that their stirring is insufficient. This is prolonging of their stirring that is a style. Also they often suddenly accelerate in speed and strength of their stirring that makes the stirring sound vigorous and this is a speed and strength of force changing that is not necessary and again part of their style of stirring.
MANY THINK THEY ARE UNSTYLISH BUT THEY ARE FULL OF STYLE IN EVERYTHING THEY DO OR SAY OR POSE.
Concerning judgment because the ruler is judged:
Jesus said that when he comes, he (the counselor) will convince the world of sin, righteous and judgment, concerning sin for men do not believe in him, concerning righteousness because he returns to his Father and concerning judgment because the ruler of the earth (mankind) will be judged.
This indicates that when the counselor comes it will be time for mankind to be judged and the counselor will not come at any time but he will come when the close of the Age is at hand.

This suggests that the counsellor will not come immediately but he will come at a time that may be the close of the Age or judgment ‘day’.
If the counsellor was a spirit of the mind and his advice is crucial in alleviating the suffering of everyone and leading them to eternal life not perdition and no one can harm a counsellor that only exists in the mind, why should he only come later when the close of the Age is at hand?
