Nonsense & Self Identity View

People say, “As a liberal, I would like this done” or “As a religious person” or “As an irreligious person” not realizing that they are expressing something that is meaningless that is a reflection of self identity views.
Do you mean you need to be a liberal to like this done? If it does not matter but you like this done then you are wasting your and others’ time and energy to tell them ‘as a liberal’ and because it is meaningless and you believe it is meaningful you are headed for mad perception and logic of what is meaningless and unnecessary is necessary or meaningful.
It is because a person is proud to be a liberal and want to advertise himself as a liberal in opposition to those who are conservation (setting up potential conflict) or he has significant false self identity views that he says so. Self identity views are deadly because how can you be one with your Father in heaven if you have self identity views standing between Him and you and the Buddha said self identity views is one of three lower fetters to future states of woe.
Usually people copy saying ‘as a liberal, etc’ from others without thinking and accepting it as valid and therefore they are robots who do not know the meaning or meaninglessness of what they say.
WHETHER YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SAY OR DO IS MEANINGFUL OR NOT, IF IT MAKES NO SENSE OR IS FALSE, YOU CANNOT MEAN IT, YOU MUST HAVE COPIED IT WITHOUT KNOWING IT IS MEANINGLESS OR FALSE FROM OTHERS IF YOU DID NOT WILFULLY FABRICATED IT AND THEREFORE YOU CAN ONLY HAVE MOTIVE TO SAY IT NAMELY TO DECEIVE, PLEASE, IMPRESS, INTIMIDATE OR DOMINATE. YOU ARE TRYING TO ADVERTISE YOURSELF AS A LIBERAL OR IMPRESS OTHERS BY SAYING UNNECESSARILY ‘AS A LIBERAL’.
Only like & dislike and 2 hurts:
Essentially a person’s emotions consist of like or dislike and the two hurts, sadness or searing hurt at what has happened.
When as a result of something happening, his force of going against self is stirred by what has happened in a fashion well controlled by his alert force of self preservation his consciousness experiences liking.
When as a result of something happening, his force of going against self is stirred by what has happened in a fashion poorly controlled by his alert force of self preservation his consciousness experiences disliking.
When as a result of something happening, his force of going against self is essentially prolonging with little or decaying speed and strength changes and his apathetic force of self preservation does not stir to protect his consciousness against the force of going against self, the person experiences sadness.
When as a result of something happening, his force of going against self is essentially stirring in speed and strength changes with little prolonging and his apathetic force of self preservation does not stir to protect his consciousness against the force of going against self, the person experiences sharp searing hurts.
Whatever emotions that people experience can be examined and found to be derived from like, dislike, sadness, sharp hurt or fear. Apart from these there are no other emotions and emotions are meaningless, just the characteristic ways with which the person’s two mental forces stirs that creates stress, restlessness and distraction whilst conditioning and degrading the mind.
Like come in waves as people describe waves of desire sweeping their bodies or minds or their bodies jump up and down when their team has scored that reflect that liking is waves of rising and falling speed and strength of force. Disliking also come in waves of rising speed and strength as people unwittingly attest when they say they are hopping or up and down mad or angry or disliking. Searing hurt also come in waves of stirring speed and strength of force. But sadness is essentially a series of prolonging at constant speed and strength with a decaying to be renewed again and again.
The fact that a person who is sad or hurt finds it very difficult to stir up like but it quite easy for them to get angry reflects that their forces of self preservation is depressed and an active in control force of self preservation is necessary to stir liking whilst it is not or struggling to control in dislike.
LIKE AND DISLIKE AND SEARING HURT COME IN WAVES OF RISING AND FALLING SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE WHILST SADNESS IS PROLONGING WITH LITTLE OR DECAYING SPEED AND STRENGTH. THE FACT THAT THE FORCE OF GOING AGAINST SELF IS ASCENDANT AND THE FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION IS LISTLESS IN SADNESS AND HURT IS INDICATED BY THE FACT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT FOR A SAD OR HURT PERSON TO LIKE ANYTHING OR FEAR ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES A DOMINANT FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION.
An unforgettable mooncake fiesta:
A fiesta may be memorable (worth remembering) but it is never unforgettable except that it is said falsely to impress people how wonderful it is (not).
Whether you are aware of its falsity or not, it must stir emotion in you for saying it and you are headed for madness that you don’t why is happening to you.
SOMETHING THAT IS MEMORABLE DOES NOT MEAN YOU CANNOT FORGET IT BUT UNFORGETABLE MEANS CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN THAT IS DEMANDED OF YOU.
Dicing with certain insanity:
Quote: IF the walls could talk, those in Suffolk House will have countless tales to tell. A vibrant mansion (if you perceive a mansion can be vibrant as a person can be, you are courting mad perception), which once hosted parties and picnics in the 1810s, it became a crumbling ruin in the 1970s.
You should not imagine what is impossible that walls could talk and if you do you are courting and will be granted madness. It may have many but not countless tales to tell.
Said in nicety not truthfulness:
Quote: YOU can probably tell by having to dodge all the strollers in the streets, but statistics have confirmed that Australia is now in the middle of its biggest baby boom in more than three decades.
Comment: Rather than go straight to the point that Australia is experiencing its biggest baby boom in more than three decades, the person is being nice and saying something false that you can probably tell by having to dodge all the strollers in the streets Australia is now in the middle of its biggest baby boom in more than three decades.
Without doing a study to see if you can actually tell by dodging strollers on the streets, you are flirting with falsity to say that and the reason is to impress or please others. A man devoted to truth will not say what he cannot ascertain is true.
What is said come from an urge, to give everything a twist or spice it up to make it more attractive. You and he does not believe he is going mad but you may be wrong.
Just as they think they speak the truth above when they are speaking falsity, similarly they severely overestimate their capacity for telling and doing the truth.
Man, what a creep:
When someone exclaims emotionally, “Man, what a creep!” he and those who listen think they are hearing something meaningful when they are hearing something that is nonsense or makes no sense.
What he is saying is not just that he does not like a person but he is expecting that you too should share his dislike because he is speaking with force as if the person is a creep and therefore you should or must find him creepy too.
If you think creep is the same as queer or odd, you have false perception that will end in mad perception.
A person of reason will say unemotionally that “I find him quite queer”. ‘Man, what a creep’ is all about emotion that he expects to apply to you. He finds the person intensely dislikeable and wants to share it with you.
It is further false because it implies his creepiness is unquantifiable, ‘what a creep’ when no matter how creep he can be quantified as mildly, moderately or severely creepy.
Bread on the rise:
It is unlikely if not impossible that the person chose to describe the rising price of bread as bread on the rise, intending to slyly cast allusion to bread rising as in baking. You have false perception that the price of bread rising is the same as bread rising because it is the price of bread that is rising not the bread that is rising. You think it is cute or fun when you are confusing yourself as you confuse others to what you are referring to as a result of which you must experience doubt and uncertainty in yourself as you sow in others and this will end with loss of control with insanity when you see alternative meanings in what is said or has happened when there are none.
It is because you perceive bread rising as price of bread rising when it is false, but bread rising means the bread is rising that you will experience conflict over the meaning of even simple things, you will not accept the de facto meaning of what is said but must see perverse alternate meanings, you are not sure what is said meant A or meant B or meant C and that is agony especially if your life depends on it.
Attack!
When people say ‘what a creep’ or ‘you creep’ or ‘damn you’ or ‘bastard’ what is said does not matter but it is just a convenient vehicle for attacking the other person.
It is not that the person is like a creepy creature that the person is implying but he means the person is dislikeable. It is presumption, a defilement of the mind according to the Buddha to equate a creepy creature with detestability. There are people who find creepy creatures (eg worms, snakes, roaches) likeable and so it is false perception not only to think that creep equals dislikeable but to expect others to share your false perception implied by your statement ‘what a creep’ instead of saying, “I find him such a creep”. Further what a creep implies his creepiness is unquantifiable which is false.
Often statements said with apparent gentleness like ‘why are you so rude’, ‘if what you say is enlightening, why do you have to correct it?’ are merely convenient vehicles or excuses to attack another and the person has ill will not just there but ALWAYS and is headed he does not believe for perdition far more everlasting and agonizing that he can now imagine.
IF YOU ARE RIGHT TO ATTACK ANOTHER, YOU WILL BE PUNISHED, IF YOU ARE WRONG TO ATTACK HIM, YOU WILL BE PUNISHED EVEN MORE. UNTIL YOU LEARN TO CEASE ATTACKING OTHERS, YOU WILL NOT SEE AN END TO SUFFERING.
Tit for tat:
It is a dangerous principle that is never based on reason but based on force or emotion to react (not respond) tit for tat for perceived attacks by others.
When I criticise others they often retort, ‘what about you?’ implying I am no different when it is not that I am the same as them but they have poor discernment to perceive I am no different from them.
When I raise my voice to say ‘get out’ at the provocation of being asked ‘why are you so rude’, I may be perceived as no different, attacking others but I have a basis in that I did not provoke her but she is inviting me to argue or verbally fight with her.
Further if you examine carefully how I said it, although it is louder, there is no stretching of syllables, changes of speed or loudness that makes it harsh. It was merely consistently louder and faster without abusive stretching of syllables and therefore if you think my anger is the same as yours, you may be right or have poor perception.
As the Buddha said, if the person is a king’s minister you have no right to arrest him even if he has done wrong against you. Thus if I am someone more noble than you then my karma for saying or doing the same thing may be quite different from yours.
For instance the person who has sex without forceful prolonging and accelerating decelerating changes in speed and strength may not have the same karma as the person who has sex with objectively discernible forceful prolonging and accelerating decelerating changes in speed and strength.
Lonaphala Sutta: The Salt Crystal
"There is the case where a trifling evil deed done takes one to hell. The very same trifling deed done by another is experienced in the here & now, and barely appears for a moment.
" There is the case where a person is undeveloped in [contemplating] the body, in virtue, in mind, in discernment: restricted, small-hearted. A trifling evil deed takes him to hell.
" There is the case where a certain individual is developed in [contemplating] the body, in virtue, in mind, in discernment: unrestricted, large-hearted. A trifling evil deed is experienced in the here & now, and for the most part barely appears for a moment.
"Suppose that a man were to drop a salt crystal into a small amount of water. Would the water in the cup become salty and unfit to drink?"
"Yes, lord. There being only a small amount of water in the cup, it would become salty."
"Now suppose a man were to drop a salt crystal into the River Ganges. Would the water in the River Ganges become salty?"
"It's just as when a goat butcher is empowered to beat or bind or slay a person is of little wealth when he has stolen a goat. But he is not empowered to beat or bind or slay a person is wealthy, with many possessions; a king or a king's minister. (If the king’s minister takes your goat you are not empowered to beat him unless you want to be punished by the king)
"Monks, for anyone who says, 'In whatever way a person makes kamma, that is how it is experienced,' there is no living of the holy life. (Karma is not rigid or standardized, for the same deed, it depends on the nature of the person performing it) But for anyone who says, 'When a person makes kamma to be felt in such & such a way, that is how its result is experienced,' there is the opportunity for the right ending of stress."
BEINGS IN THIS WORLD ARE NOT EQUAL. THERE IS A HEIRARCHY OF MERIT EXISTING AND IF YOU ASPIRE TO EQUAL BEINGS IN THE HIGHER REACHES OF EXISTENCE, YOU MUST DEVELOP THE CALM AND CONCENTRATION OF YOUR MIND AND THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU ARE DETAINED BY PURSUITS IN THIS WORLD.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A FEMALE TO BE THE FATHER OR SATAN.
THE PERSON WHO IS VIRTUOUS IS HIGHER THAN THE PERSON WHO IS NOT VIRTUOUS.
THE PERSON WHO CAN SEE THINGS CLEARLY AS THEY ARE IS HIGHER THAN THE PERSON WHO CANNOT.
THE PERSON WHO CAN STOP STRETCHING SYLLABLES, STOP CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS IS HIGHER THAN THE PERSON WHO CANNOT.
THE PERSON WHO CAN STOP THINKING TO JUST PERCEIVE AND DO OR SAY IS HIGHER THAN THE PERSON WHO CANNOT.
THE PERSON WHO CAN NEITHER PERCEIVE NOR NOT PERCEIVE IS HIGHER THAN THE PERSON WHO PERCEIVES AND NOT PERCEIVE.
Holy trinities:
It may not be a coincidence that the Buddha who is himself perfect had two deputies (and not more or less) and the Father has two sons in the Son of man and the Holy Spirit. It is said that Moggalana was strong in his psychic powers whilst Sariputta the other deputy was strong in his wisdom. Only the Buddha is perfect and achieved enlightenment by himself.
Careful who you bid farewell to:
An endless rollercoaster:
The lives of all emotional people is an endless rollercoaster of likes and dislikes, faked like and faked dislike, feeling sharp hurt and feeling sad and bouts of fear (panic, stunned, alarm, anxiety) that they may be unaware of when they are relatively sedate.
WHATEVER EMOTIONS THEY EXPERIENCE CAN BE EXAMINED AND FOUND TO BE LIKE, DISLIKE, FAKED LIKE OR DISLIKE, SHARP HURT, SADNESS OR FEAR. APART FROM THESE THERE ARE NO OTHER EMOTIONS.
Just as rollercoaster can sometimes derail, their emotions are regularly threatening to derail them in various forms like loss of control, nervous breakdown, manic depression, mad violence, obsession compulsions, mad rote speech and behaviour, mad perception and logic.I say a person who likes and dislikes is headed for suffering because it is suffering and controlled madness not the unadulterated pleasure it is made out to be and you have debt hurting others with your liking and disliking and for inciting others to do the same.
