Jealousy is dislike & envy is like:
Jealousy is merely dislike of someone as a result of something that he has that you would like to have and envy is the like of someone as a result of something that he has that you like to have.
Like and dislike have been given many names in many different situations and often when people speak or write they are talking about their like and dislike of the matter without themselves and readers aware that it is thus.
Greed is merely the blind mindless attractive stirring of mental force at the sight of money or valuable items. For instance the sight of falling stock prices may stir the greed or attraction of the greedy person to grab it because it is cheap and he sees gains if he sold it off for profit later. In order to grab the shares he must buy and so he rushes to call his broker to place a buy order.
There are just two frontline emotions that are the opposites of each other because mental force can only be stirred attractively or repulsively and that is like or dislike. When the dislike is diffuse it is anger, when it is focussed it is hate. Apart from these two frontline emotions that are three secondary emotions that come into play as a result of liking and disliking exerting force changes on the mind that is totally unnecessary and that is sadness, hurt and fear.
If you think that emotions are wondrous, there are many emotions and they are unique, you have been duped and have wrong view that is the way to hell or the animal womb.
And what is pride that consumes most emotional people even those who act humble?
Pride is merely attraction for or liking for self and what one identifies with as self eg one’s possessions in things, wife and children, one’s ideas, views, achievements, abilities. When you are proud you want to impress others with your qualities and possessions, you boast, speaks in a way that will stir others’ mental force to be attracted to you. If you want others to be attracted to you, you must also be attracted or like yourself.
Only select and supply force:
If it is true that what people say or do is already pre-recorded in their mental jukeboxes then the only thing they can do is select from the library available what they want to say or do (and there may be a few options that put them in a dilemma as to which is most impressive) and supply force, activate their force of going against self to say or do it.
Once their force of going against self is activated it is blind and does not respond to reason and the only way to stop or modulate it is via an opposite force that can be increased in strength and this is the force of self preservation because whatever is rote and activated is false and harmful and need to be supervised and even put to a stop when things are overheating.
AND IT IS THE EXISTENCE OF THIS FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION THAT ALWAYS ACTS OPPOSITE THE FORCE OF GOING AGAINST SELF THAT POWERS ALL THE PERSON’S ROTE SPEECH AND ACTIONS THAT IS THE ONLY INSTRUMENT AT THE DISPOSAL OF THE PERSON WHO IS A ROBOT WITH WHICH HE CAN MODULATE HIS SPEECH AND ACTIONS AND IT IS WHEN THIS FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION BECOMES ASCENDANT AND THE FORCE OF GOING AGAINST SELF COLLAPSES THAT THE PERSON EXPERIENCES FEAR.
IF YOUR SPEECH AND ACTIONS ARE FRESHLY COMPOSED SPECIFIC TO THE OCCASION, YOU ARE NOT MERELY SELECTING AND SUPPLYING FORCE BUT THERE IS REASON PRESENT AND SEEING REASON CAN ALTER SPEECH AND ACTIONS WITHOUT NEED FOR A FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION TO PUT A STOP TO PROCEEDINGS.
A definition of fear:
Fear is the consciousness experience when there is a relatively rapid collapse in speed and strength of his force of going against self coupled with a relatively rapid rise in speed and strength of his now unopposed or ascendant force of self preservation that always acts opposite to his force of going against self that is always the drive to whatever he says or does that are never composed fresh but rehashed from recordings or plans in his mental jukebox.
Thus if you are live specific to the occasion performer who does rely on power driving a mental jukebox to speak or do things, you cannot experience fear, you do not possess the force of going against self that is a requisite to experience fear.
Think of what to say?
When confronted with an occasion or what someone said, you hear people say they think of what to say.
This is false because they don’t really think of what to say but it occurs in their minds or is presented in their mind what options amongst those available in their mental jukebox with which to say that would be impressive or pleasing.
When people are thinking of what to say they are not really thinking but searching their jukeboxes for which rote sequence would fit best or would impress best. Sometimes the appropriate sequence (according to his taste of what is appropriate) automatically or swiftly presents itself and so he does not have to ‘think’ or search and he may be impressed that he is such an accomplished or competent person in the matter at hand when he is merely a knee jerk reproducer.
Better keep some spare cash:
You hear of runs on banks. If banks fail, your money in them that is earning little interest now may be frozen and so it may be wise to keep a bit more spare cash outside banks in case they collapse and your money is frozen.
Badawi beating his own or nation’s drum?
Quote Badawi: We need an united BN to face global challenges.
What he said may be true at face value or he may have motive for saying that. A united BN means they all support him and he stays in power and so he is using global challenges as an excuse to convince MPs to support him.
Can BN be united under his leadership? BN does not necessarily need to be united under his leadership so he should put his leadership for review which he refused by postponing UMNO’s general meeting.
SURELY DEEP INSIDE HE KNOWS THE MOTIVES FOR WHAT HE SAID WHICH IS TO RALLY SUPPORT AROUND HIS LEADERSHIP RATHER MEETING GLOBAL CHALLENGES AND A PERSON WHO DOES NOT SAY WHAT HE MEANS AND MEANS WHAT HE SAID IS WALKING ON A TIGHTROPE WITH INSANITY WAITING BELOW TO CLAIM HIM FINALLY HE FOOLISHLY IS IGNORANT.
HOW SELF SERVING TO SAY WE NEED A UNITED BN TO BETTER FACE CHALLENGES WHEN THAT UNITY MEANS HE CONTINUES TO BE PM. IF HE IS NOT LEADER WOULD HE SAY THE SAME THING?
Is unity possible and will it make a difference?
If a collapsing building will crush you it does not matter if you are united or not it will still crush you. And so if unity does not matter or matter little in facing the global financial crisis then Badawi has false perception that will end in mad perception.
Unity at all times amongst goats is more lip service and betrayal than genuine and if what you say ‘unity’ is a mirage then you will go mad believing what is impossible unity is possible.
We need good leadership not unity:
Good leadership matters much more than unity in facing challenging conditions.
What is the use of having total unity under a leader who is an idiot?
Even if there is no unity if there is wise leadership he will guide the ship safely through choppy seas.
Germany was united through coercion under Hitler and look what a disaster it was to Germany and others.
THUS BADAWI IS A FOOL, HE IS BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE. IN TIMES OF CRISIS A NATION NEEDS GOOD LEADERSHIP FAR MORE THAN UNITY, WHICH THOUGH PREFERABLE IS NOT ESSENTIAL.
Why Badawi is dishonestly self serving:
WHY DID BADAWI SPEAK OF UNITY IN BN INSTEAD OF UNITY IN THE NATION? IT MAY NOT BE AN ACCIDENT BUT IT UNWITTINGLY EXPOSES HIS MOTIVE BECAUSE UNITY IN BN MEANS NO DEFECTION TO OPPOSITION WHICH MEANS HE STAYS IN POWER.
If Badawi thinks and perceives that unity of BN is more important in meeting global challenges than good leadership then he is deluded because wise leadership is far more important than unity.
If his motive is to garner unity around him so that he stays in power then he is lying.
Greenspan more responsible than others for financial crisis:
Quote:
“Clearly, derivatives are a centerpiece of the crisis, and he (Greenspan) was the leading proponent of the deregulation of derivatives,” said Frank Partnoy, a law professor at the University of San Diego and an expert on financial regulation.
The derivatives market is $531 trillion, up from $106 trillion in 2002 and a relative pittance just two decades ago. Theoretically intended to limit risk and ward off financial problems, the contracts instead have stoked uncertainty and actually spread risk amid doubts about how companies value them.
If Mr. Greenspan had acted differently during his tenure as Federal Reserve chairman from 1987 to 2006, many economists say, the current crisis might have been averted or muted.
Anxiety, tension & restlessness:
There are complicated emotional states like anxiety, tension, panic, shame & uncertainty that may be a mixture or potent brew of simultaneous or rapidly alternating like or dislike, sadness, hurt, fear plus stress, restlessness and inability to focus.
Stress is the seizure of the mind and by extension the musculature of the body by force as a result of heedless sustained use of force and it takes some time for stress to abate or unwind or for the painful grip of force to slowly unwind seldom if ever to zero but only to a more comfortable level.
Because everything people say or do is rehashed according to plans in their minds, there is an urge to do or say anything, particularly the well worn or habitual words or deeds even when there is no need to say or do anything, even when it is inappropriate for the situation at hand. This is restlessness which is the urge to say or do something, anything recorded in the person’s mental jukebox.
The constant pummelling of force on a person’s consciousness causes it to become blurred and unable to focus on matters at hand and in addition the simultaneous combo of substance and style (what is said angrily and the angry way it is said) divides the person’s consciousness such that it becomes permanently divided or unable to unite to focus totally on a matter at hand.
Tension is the consciousness experience of the clash of opposite forces that roil the person’s mind and body. There is a constant urge or force to say or do things to please and impress others that is going against self and an urge or force to resist because it is harmful or stressful and meaningless, subconsciously the person knows he is behaving like a slut trying to appease and impress others. When this clash of forces become intense and locked it gives rise to a twisting feeling, the mind and musculature of the body becomes knotted up or twisted that reflects the two intense opposing forces locked in impasse that leads to an agonizing twisting.
Thus anxiety may not be an entity by itself but a potent mix of emotions that include restlessness, fear, loathing (dislike), stress and tension.
Doubting is merely a forceful state of refusal to accept or questioning that leads to uncertainty which is an emotional state of worrying, fearfulness, restlessness that is usually disliked.
Shame always occurs as a result of something happening eg public humiliation or exposure of someone’s misdeed. A person’s pride or like for self is actually constant and shame involves the rapid or sudden puncturing or deflation of this like for self to be replaced by an emptiness even disgust or dislike for self, anger (dislike) for what has happened either focused on the detractor or self and there is usually stirred hurt and restlessness to desperately search for some damage limiting reaction.
THUS WHATEVER EMOTIONAL STATE THAT MAY ROIL ORDINARY STYLISH PEOPLE’S MINDS MAY BE SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION AND IT MAY BE REDUCED TO A COMPOUND OF LIKE, DISLIKE, SADNESS, HURT, FEAR, TENSION (CLASH OF OPPOSITE FORCES), STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION.
Witness: It was not C4
When asked by Raja Petra’s defence counsel Gobind Singh Deo how Altantuya was murdered, Supt Gan Tack Guan said: “If I am not wrong, one kind of plastic explosive was used to blow up her body at an empty place at Puncak Alam. It was not C4.”
Comment: If you say it was not C4 then you must be certain it wasn’t because others will believe you know what you are talking about.
If you are certain it was not C4 why do you say “If I am not wrong”? If you say it was not C4 then you should say know what kind of explosive it was rather than say vague ‘one kind of plastic explosive’?
The person is not a very good liar and the way he put it indicates he is lying with even hell awaiting him for misleading others.
IF I AM NOT WRONG INDICATES YOU HAVE NOT ASCERTAINED WHAT YOU SAID IS TRUE AND IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO, YOU ARE A FOOL TO STICK YOUR NECK OUT TO SAY IT IS NOT C4.
Why is he so anxious to rule out C4?
Unless what the policeman said is true and the indications are to the contrary, why is he so anxious to rule out C4? The fact that he is so anxious to rule out C4 indicates that it is likely to be true C4 was the explosive and he is attempting to cover up for someone higher up.
THUS HIS HESITANT AND INCOMPETENT DENIAL ONLY FURTHER CONFIRMS THAT C4 WAS THE EXPLOSIVE USED.
The folly of maximizing returns:
Britain’s local councils stand to lose 1 billion pounds as a result of the collapse of Icelandic banks.
Throughout America and elsewhere, local authorities struggling to make ends meet have not been content to place their money in deposit accounts but invested them in high returns but risky funds and investments. Now they risk losing everything.
IT IS THIS THAT MAY MAKE THIS FINANCIAL CRISIS DEVASTATING. LULLED BY THE FALSE REASSURANCE OF DERIVATIVES, MANY LOCAL COUNCILS HAVE INVESTED THEIR MONEY ON INSTRUMENTS THAT WILL WIPE OUT THEIR FUNDS AND THIS WILL CREATE HAVOC IN THE RUNNING OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
Banks too strive to maximize returns on money people deposit by lending to housing developers and people who buy houses. Whilst they both pay instalments it is fat profits but when developers and buyers default, depositors’ money will be wiped out.
Anxiety & Nervousness Is Simply Fear:
Whilst there may be overlay of tension, stress and restlessness, anxiety and nervousness are simply fear, are just fanciful names for fear.
When a person is anxious or nervous about something, his force of going against self to carry on doing or saying what he wants to say weakens or is hesitant whilst his force of self preservation rises to such levels that it seriously affects performance and may bring it to a halt.
Thus when a person gets stage fright, his force of going against self that normally serves him so well deserts him, becomes weakened or fluctuant when faced with the awareness he has to speak before an audience whilst his force of self preservation rises to such a level that it is difficult to surmount and if he is to go ahead to speak he must mobilize his force of going against self to a strength that is more than usual in order to speak.
THUS DESPITE THE MANY FANCIFUL NAMES GIVEN TO VARIOUS EMOTIONS, THEY BOIL DOWN TO LIKE & DISLIKE AS THE PRIMARY FRONTLINE EMOTIONS, WITH SADNESS, HURT, TENSION/CONFLICT AND FEAR AS THE SECONDARY CONSEQUENTIAL EMOTIONS.
Doubting is actually dislike:
Doubting is actually dislike for something the person does not know is true or false. If you knew something is true or false, you do not have to doubt it and it is because a person does not know whether something is true or false and he does not like it that he uses force to doubt it. If he liked what he heard he would not have doubted it but eagerly un-righteously accepted it (eg someone flatters him and he does not doubt the flattery but eagerly embraces or likes it).
Uncertainty that comes as a result of doubting is the same as confusion that is a mixture of fearfulness (anxiousness) & restlessness not knowing what to think or say or make of something.
Worry is fearful thinking:
Worry is simply thinking that is driven by fear and because fear is forceful & blind, it is irrational and so the person keeps thinking over and over again the same things without a solution or if there is a solution he still worries or thinks fearfully.
If there is any problem or danger, genuine calm worry free reason is the incomparably superior instrument with which to find a solution and worrying is negative, stressful and leads to confused dangerous actions.
Concern is fear:
When you are concerned for someone or about something, you are fearful and rather than it being meritorious or good, it is bad for self and for others because it is usually for show and manipulative, to control others. Because it is driven by force and is blind it is harmful and irrational. Suffice you use genuine reason to understand the problems or dangers facing the other person and if you desire and have the means, help him or her without arousing concern or emotional fear or worry.
THUS A LOT OF THE TIME PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT AND EXPERIENCING THE SAME OLD THINGS WITHOUT KNOWING, THEY ARE EXPERIENCE FEAR WHEN THEY ARE ANXIOUS, NERVOUS, WORRIED OR CONCERNED.
What is tension?
Tension or conflict are similar and due to a clash of mental force.
Tension may be mild or intense and the impasse of opposing mental forces may cause tenseness or clenching with or without twisting of the body part (eg torso or forearm).
Whenever the force of self preservation rises to a level that is sufficient to neutralize or dominate the force of going against self, he experiences conflict between what he wants to say or do and the resistance to say or do it. He may want to say or do A but there is resistance to say or do it, he may also want to say or do B or C but again there is resistance by his force of self preservation to do so and so he experiences tension or conflict of whether to say or not say A, B, C, etc.
Normally the force of self preservation is un-aroused, idling in the background allowing the person’s force of going against self to orchestrate whatever he wants to say or do but on occasions, the force of self preservation is stirred eg when there are vital things at stake, and the aroused force of self preservation acting in opposition to the force of going against self causes tension or conflict.
Stress, restlessness, distraction, tension are not emotions:
Like & dislike under their various guises, sadness, hurt & fear are emotions but stress, restlessness, distraction and tension are not emotions but the effects of force on the mind and body.
Emotions are the consciousness experience as a result of mental force stirring in different manners. Thus when the mental force is stirred attractively (with accelerating speed and strength) it is liking (excitement, thrill, delight, lust, greed, fascination), when it is stirred repulsively (with accelerating speed and strength in the opposite direction of a mental electromagnet) it is dislike (anger, hate, derision, disgust), when the mental force is prolonging it is sadness, when mental force is accelerating in speed and strength unshielded by the force of self preservation it is hurt, when the force of going against self collapses in speed and strength whilst the force of self preservation rises in speed and strength it gives rise to fear.
THUS EMOTIONS LIKE LIKING & DISLIKING, SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR ARE CHARACTERISTIC CONSCIOUSNESS EXPERIENCES AS A RESULT OF MENTAL FORCE STIRRING TRIGGERING BY PERCEIVED EVENTS THROUGH THE SENSES (SIGHT, SOUND, TOUCH, TASTE, SMELL). THEY MAY LINGER TO GREATER OR LESSER EXTENT AFTER CONTACT.
By contrast stress, restlessness, distraction (cannot focus, blurred or divided attention) and tension are the effects of prolonged exposure to force and force changes. They actually rise immediately on exposure to force and are cumulatively, becoming more severe with extended exposure but people are unaware until they become quite severe. They take some time to dissipate afterwards and if the foolish being does not disengage himself they may rise to intense proportions that threaten loss of control leading to homicidal or suicidal tendencies.
THUS STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION AND TENSION ARE NOT EMOTIONS BUT THE EFFECTS OF FORCE AND FORCE CHANGES, ARE THE CONSCIOUSNESS EXPERIENCE CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO FORCE AND FORCE CHANGES, STARTS WITH FORCE EXPOSURE, IS CUMULATIVE IN INTENSITY AND TAKES TIME AFTERWARDS TO FADE JUST LIKE FLOOD WATER TAKES TIME TO DRAIN.
A definition of emotion:
Emotions that can only be like, dislike, sadness, hurt and fear are the different consciousness experiences as a result of characteristic differing force stirrings as a result of events occurring perceived through the senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell). They are totally unnecessary, detract from the experiences and are harmful.
Emotions linger, are conditioning such that they become increasingly easy to arouse to more intense levels that take longer to dissipate and they all lead to stress, restlessness, distraction and tension.
By contrast, stress, restlessness, distraction and tension are the result of force and force changes acting on the consciousness. They are cumulative, becoming more intense with duration and strength of force used and take a while to dissipate that is dependent on the severity eg of stress and restlessness that has built up.
Force acting on the consciousness can arise from emotions, from the use of force to fabricate style (namely prolonging, changing speed and strength of force) & the use of force that is mandatory to think, speak and move. Even without style or at constant speed and strength of force without prolonging, force must be used in order to think, speak and do things.
THUS SO LONG AS FORCE ACTS ON THE MIND (IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER DUE TO EMOTIONS OR FABRICATING STYLE OR JUST THINKING, SPEAKING OR DOING WITHOUT STYLE), STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION AND TENSION ARE THE MANDATORY RESULTS, THEY ARE CUMULATIVE AND TAKE TIME TO DISSIPATE.
EMOTIONS ARE THE CHARACTERISTIC DIFFERING CONSCIOUSNESS EXPERIENCES AS A RESULT OF MENTAL FORCE STIRRING IN CHARACTERISTIC DIFFERING MANNERS AS A RESULT OF EVENTS PERCEIVED THROUGH THE SENSES.
No force is needed to perceive:
Genuine pure perception is passive reception of inputs, no force is needed to receive sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.
Thus if you just perceive; see, hear, smell, taste and experience touch without a thought arising, without speaking or moving, you do not exert force on the mind that leads to emotions, stress, restlessness, distraction and tension.
In practice people in this world use force to perceive, they stare or see forcefully with forceful prolonging apart from accelerating speed and strength in their lustful or hateful stare and so even perception is stressful to them.
THUS IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO EXIST FULLY CONSCIOUS JUST PERCEIVING (SEEING, HEARING) WITHOUT FORCE, WITHOUT THINKING, SPEAKING AND DOING AND IT IS INCOMPARABLY BLISSFUL THAT CONSTANT THINKING, SPEAKING AND DOING.
I made Madonna:
That is always a boast and false statement by ‘star maker’ Seymour Stein.
He did not make her career let alone make her as a person. He may have contributed crucially to her success but that is not making her which is a false statement without regard to truth. It is because of Madonna’s high profile that he wants to claim such credit.
Disastrous mistake letting Lehmann Fail:
Insurers of Lehmann’s bonds are required to pay $365 billion in the next two weeks. If they are unable to do so, there will be more panic on stock markets.
Lehman Brothers demise triggers huge default
Lehman Brothers, the bust investment bank, triggered one of the biggest corporate debt defaults in history yesterday as it emerged that the US Federal Reserve is harbouring grave concerns about whether Washington’s $700 billion (£413 billion) bailout fund will avert a financial meltdown.
An auction of Lehman’s bonds yesterday determined that the bank’s borrowings were worth only 8.625 cents on the dollar. The valuation leaves the insurers of the debt a bill of about $365 billion. It is not clear whether the insurers, which are required to settle the bill in the next two weeks, will be able to pay – a development that could further undermine increasingly stressed capital markets.
The $365 billion default came as stock markets around the world suffered one of their worst days since the crash of 11 years ago. Panicking about the prospect of global recession, the FTSE 100 index of leading shares in London crashed within seconds of opening, losing 8.9 per cent of its value, its worse fall since October 1987.
The index recovered to close down 225 points, marking a 5 per cent decline, but more than a fifth was wiped off London shares this week alone. Issues in New York fluctuated wildly as the Dow Jones industrial average slumped by 312.14 points at lunchtime before closing at 8,451.19, down 128.00. Both markets had been scared by losses in Tokyo, where the Nikkei lost 10 per cent of its value.
Amid the mayhem across the world’s stock markets, senior Fed officials now doubt whether Washington’s bailout fund will work unless it is launched in some form in the next two weeks.
The Times has learnt that central bankers in America are anxious that if the Treasury is not able to accelerate the speed at which it launches its rescue scheme, it will have no effect. At the moment, the Treasury, which controls the fund, is working to a five-week schedule to get the rescue package up and running. Under present plans, the bailout fund is not expected to buy its first distressed mortgage-backed bonds until after the US elections on November 4.
It is understood that the Fed believes that this will be too late to help the banks that are suffocating under market conditions. Credit markets have frozen up and many banks have been cut off from being able to borrow from one another.
Mr Paulson’s bailout fund is designed to buy up distressed bonds held by troubled banks. This week the former chairman of Goldman Sachs appointed Neel Kashkari, one of his protégés at the Wall Street bank, to run the fund. Mr Kashkari had already been working closely with Mr Paulson during the negotiations over the passage of the “troubled asset relief programme” on Capitol Hill.
Mr Paulson is also considering a range of other forms of financial assistance, which include the Treasury using taxpayer funds to buy stakes in Wall Street banks. Under such a plan, the cash received in return for the shareholding would provide much-needed capital for the banks.
Lehman’s corporate debt default promises to increase the stress across global credit markets. Sean Egan, of the Egan-Jones ratings agency, said: “This is a killer. Lehman said a month ago that it was in terrific shape and now you can’t even get ten cents on the dollar for its debt.
“It underscores the deep structural flaws in our financial system, knocks confidence in the financial markets and raises the cost of capital. It also demonstrates that we are experiencing not only a crisis of confidence, but a crisis.”
About 350 banks and investors are thought to have insured an estimated $400 billion of Lehman’s debt through complex derivatives, known as credit default swaps. These include Pacific Investment Management, the manager of the world’s largest bond fund, Citadel, the US hedge fund, and American International Group, the insurer that the US Government recently bailed out with two loans totalling about $123 billion.
The Times has learnt that the US Treasury has been overwhelmed with requests from executives of other beleaguered sectors who are seeking a similar bailout scheme for themselves. It is thought that representatives from the US car and airline industries have approached the Government for assistance. It is understood that Mr Paulson does not believe that it is his job to help them. Rather, he is intent on addressing the root problems of the financial crisis.
Is panic and fear convenient scapegoats?
Quote: Confidence (in financial markets) will not suddenly snap back. Trust can only be rebuilt gradually.
SUPPOSED THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS LIKE A TERMITE EATEN HOUSE THAT USED TO LOOK ATTRACTIVE ON THE OUTSIDE BUT NOW IT IS IN TERMINAL STATE AND CRUMBLING BEFORE YOUR EYES. PEOPLE ARE PANICKING SEEING THE TERMIT INFESTED HOUSE COLLAPSE, BUT DO YOU THINK IF THEY DID NOT PANIC THE HOUSE WILL NOT COLLAPSE OR THE COLLAPSE WILL BE LESS SEVERE?
You hear many people speak of the current financial crisis as being triggered by fear and panic, it is a crisis of confidence. Is it that simple or a convenient excuse to shirk responsibility?
Do you mean that by restoring confidence, by calming fear, everything will be back to normal?
There are plenty of problems facing the world financial markets like the likely default of $365 billion of insurers’ of collapsed Lehmann’s bonds, many major banks have failed and with them the savings of depositors and the falling property prices wiping out the paper wealth of many people.
If the share prices are in truth too high, then they are falling because the financial glue holding the pyramid of cards are now failing.
THUS BLAMING PANIC AND LACK OF CONFIDENCE MAY BE A CONVENIENT WAY OF AVOIDING BLAME THAT MAY LULL PEOPLE TO THINK THE SYSTEM IS MORE SOUND THAN IT IS.

Tension not an emotion:
Tension is not an emotion but a result or fruit of the application of opposing or clashing forces and therefore is a sibling of stress, restlessness and distraction.
Different emotions are different universal consciousness experiences as a result of characteristic definable conditioned (by self and others) mental force stirrings as a result of perceptions in sight, sound, touch, taste and smell.
Thus like, dislike, sadness, hurt & fear are different universal consciousness experiences as a result of a person’s mental forces (that can only be the force of going against self and the opposing force of self preservation) stirring in different ways. If the mental force of going against self accelerate in strength and speed in a ‘positive’ direction the person experience like or attraction. If it accelerates in speed and strength in the opposite or negative direction, it experiences dislike or hate (focussed) or anger (diffuse). The mental force prolonging as a result of something happening (news his father has died), he experiences sadness. Hurt occurs when his mental force accelerates in speed and strength unshielded by the force of self preservation and fear occurs if his force of going against self plunges in speed and strength with a mirror rise in speed and strength of his ascendant force of self preservation.
In contrast, tension (or conflict), stress, restlessness and distraction are the inevitable result of ANY force acting on the mind and thus they can occur as a result of stirred emotion, fabrication of style in speech and motion (prolonging, changing speed, strength and direction) and fabricating thinking, speech and actions.
When the opposite forces of going against self and self preservation are both aroused to similarly strength and locked in opposition there is tension or conflict as a consciousness experience. The more stronger both forces are aroused, the stronger the tension or conflict.
Why so few emotions?
The reason why there are so few emotions, all the fanciful names given emotions can be reduced to just like, dislike, sadness, hurt and fear is because there are very few things force can do.
Force has duration, strength, speed and direction that can be changed.
Thus if you prolong the duration force is acting (which is also exploited to fabricate style) without mobilizing the force to self preservation to shield your consciousness, you get sadness.
If you accelerate in speed and strength of your force of going against self (which is also exploited to fabricate style) without mobilizing the force to self preservation to shield your consciousness, you get hurt.
If you accelerate in speed and strength of force in the ‘positive’ direction (again also exploited to manufacture style) mobilizing the force to self preservation to shield your consciousness, you get like, the same in the negative direction gives dislike.
Apart from duration, speed and strength and direction changes, there are no other modalities in force to exploit to give different consciousness experiences and so there are only these few emotions.
Where have all the money gone?
With so much destruction of wealth going on in the collapse of the stock and property market, where have the wealth gone?
Firstly there never was so much wealth but it was an illusion or mirage that people perceived as true and acted on it to fuel their consumption and secondly the money people had have been transferred by deception or theft to a few people like bankers, property developers, fund managers and politicians.
Very few people bought their stocks or houses at the highest prices but most of them bought at lower prices and because house and share prices have rise to ‘stratospheric’ levels, they extrapolated that they are rich when if you tried to sell all the stocks of those darling companies and houses, you will never get that money because there will not be enough money or fools out there to buy at that level.
THUS THE PAST WEALTH WAS IN LARGE PART A MIRAGE, A PIE IN THE SKY. BECAUSE THEIR SHARES AND PROPERTIES ARE TRADING AT SUCH HIGH LEVELS PEOPLE EXTRAPOLATED THAT THEY ARE THAT RICH AND THE ECONOMY IS THAT BIG WHEN IT ISN’T.
Those who sold stock and houses at high prices, the CEOs and bankers who rewarded themselves fabulously were the ones left with the money transferred out of those who were suckers.
Apparently Singaporeans who bought so called Lehmann bonds stand to lose all their savings, all because Lehmann bonds offered (marginally) better returns than bank deposits and now that Lehmann has collapsed partly because of dishonesty, they have become ‘victims’ of their greed and others’ deceit.
Then there were many who spent money they did not have, they borrowed heavily on credit cards and whatever partly because their shares and houses told them they were richer than in truth.
What is like and dislike?
Like is the consciousness experience whenever a person’s force of going against self accelerates in speed and strength in a positive direction under the shielding of the similarly stirred force of self preservation at the sight, sound, touch, taste or smell of something happening. When fully conditioned, liking is a rehashed automated force reaction to events occurring. Because liking is conditioned, something can be liked by someone and disliked by another, a person can convert his like eg for a woman to his hate or dislike for her if he is spurned. Because liking is a force reaction it is blind and without understanding and it is a recipe for future disaster because it is mad and dangerous to react with blind force (like) rather than examine a situation and what it means and compose a response.
There are many synonyms for ‘like’ and they are excitement, thrill, delight, interest, fascination, eagerness, desire, lust, greed, envy, pride, sensuality.
Like in all its guises is totally unnecessary, meaningless and in fact detracts from rather than enhance the pleasantness of an experience because it stirs mental force that leads to exhaustion, stress, restlessness, distraction and tension. Like is what is coerced by beings in this world and traps them in this world of torment and is a perversion of what is unpleasant (like) is pleasant.
Dislike is the consciousness experience whenever a person’s force of going against self accelerates in speed and strength in a negative direction under the shielding of the similarly stirred force of self preservation at the sight, sound, touch, taste or smell of something happening. When fully conditioned, disliking is a rehashed automated force reaction to events occurring for which the person has little control but often he may attempt to hide his dislike for someone by faking he liked by smiling and speaking as if delighted.
There are many synonyms for ‘dislike’ and they are hate (focused dislike), anger (unfocused dislike), disgust, irritation, displeasure, shame, disappointment.
What is sadness?
Sadness is the consciousness experience whenever a person’s force of going against self is prolonging without the protective shielding of his force of self preservation at the sight, sound, touch, taste or smell of something happening. It is a rehashed involuntary force reaction to something happening in contrast to a reasoned force free response to an event. It is a conditioning reaction to events occurring that rapidly becomes involuntary; more easily aroused to more intense levels that get harder to shake off and will end in the torment of unresponsive depression.
What is hurt?
Hurt is the sharp painful consciousness experience whenever a person’s force of going against self is accelerating in speed and strength without the protective shielding of his force of self preservation at the sight, sound, touch, taste or smell of something happening. It is a conditioning reaction to events occurring that rapidly becomes involuntary; more easily aroused to more intense levels that get harder to shake off and will end in the torment of unresponsive hurt.
What is fear?
Fear is the consciousness experience whenever a person’s force of going against self rapidly declines in speed and strength accompanied by a rapid rise in speed and strength of his force of self preservation at the sight, sound, touch, taste or smell of something happening.
Because there is a rapid drop in speed and strength of the person’s force of going against self that always powers whatever the person says or does that is rehashed from his mental jukebox and the rising force of self preservation always acts opposite, fear that is arisen always makes the person drop what is saying or doing and want to run away.
Again fear is blind and without understanding as to exactly why something is dangerous and because it is blind it may seize the person to take an action that is disastrous or inappropriate for the danger at hand. Fear is conditioning so that it can be increasingly aroused to more intense levels that gets harder to shake off and fear like all emotions can be transferred from one event to another event that did not cause fear in the past.
THUS WHEN REDUCED TO THEIR ESSENCE, THERE ARE ONLY FIVE EMOTIONS, LIKE, DISLIKE, SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR.
What is stress?
Unlike emotions which are the blind foolish and dangerous force reactions to whatever is occurring, stress, restlessness, distraction and tension are the mandatory results of subjecting one’s mind to force.
It does not matter what the force is, whether going against self (engine) or self preservation (brake force), it does not matter if the use of force is to fabricate emotions, style (change speed, strength and prolong) or just to think, speak or do things without style, the use of ANY force for whatever purpose leads to stress, restlessness, distraction and tension. Thus the wise being does not think, speak or do anything unless necessary.
Whenever a person exerts force or uses force (eg force himself to continue watching TV or do something when he is tired), the force seizes or grips his mind to cause an unpleasant sensation that gets more severe the longer and stronger the force he uses and subsequently it takes time for the stress or unpleasant gripping or seized sensation to subside. If he is heedless and keeps on applying even intense force, he may be so violently seized by stress to become insane, even suicidal or homicidal.
Whenever a person applies force on his mind or permits others apply force by exposing himself to their audiovisual outputs that contain even violent force prolonging, changing speed and strength, stress like a noose begins to tighten around his neck but he is usually able to bear and ignore his stress until much later when stress becomes too severe too ignore and then he has a choice to retreat by secluding himself or galvanize himself with smoke or alcohol to forcibly suppress his stress.
LIKE EVERYTHING FORCEFUL, STRESS IS CONDITIONING SO THAT WITH AGE IT BECOME MORE EASILY AROUSABLE TO MORE INTENSE LEVELS THAT GET HARDER TO SHAKE OFF AND HE IS HEADED FOR INSANE INTENSE STRESS HERE AT LATER IN HELL. AS HE GROWS OLD, STRESS BECOME MORE INCOHERENT OR CHAOTIC, SEEMING RISING OUT OF THE BLUE OR THE SLIGHTEST TRIGGER.
What is restlessness?
It is a force driven inability to remain still, with a desire to do or say something, anything that is always rehashed from existing recordings in one’s mental jukebox.
Thus driven by tension and restlessness, one pulls out a cigarette to smoke or shake one’s leg or drum one’s finger or twirl a lock of hair as one has done many times before automatically often without awareness.
AFTER RELENTLESSLY SUBJECTING ONE’S MIND TO FORCE TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH TO EXPERIENCE EMOTIONS, TO FASHION STYLE AND THINK, SPEAK AND DO THINGS, THE RESIDENT FORCE IN THAT FOOLISH PERSON’S MIND IS CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR PLANS TO SEIZE AND ACTIVATE AND THAT IS RESTLESSNESS AND IT IS NEVER A PLEASURE BUT A TORMENT THAT CAN DRIVE SOMEONE ‘UP THE WALL’.
What is distraction?
There are two components of distraction, a splitting of his attention to two or many parts and an inability to focus and therefore assimilate whatever is happening.
When a person is distracted as a result of significant force roiling in his mind eg becomes angry, he cannot understand, you can tell him something but it does not stick, does not register.
In addition the always simultaneous substance and style that is present in all speech he hears forces him to divide his attention between the substance (what a person is speaking angrily about) and the style (how is he angry). In addition greedy actors try to do many things at once eg walk, talk and eat at the same time that divides his attention amongst the many things he is doing and that is distraction.
What is tension?
Tension is merely the consciousness experience when two opposing forces (that can only be the forces of self preservation and going against self) are both aroused to sufficient equal strength so that their clashing causes distress or tension or conflict that often freezes the person into immobility.
THUS STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION AND TENSION ARE THE INEVITABLE RESULTS OR FRUITS OF EXPOSING YOUR MIND TO FORCE. NO MATTER WHAT THE USE OF FORCE TO FABRICATE EMOTION OR STYLE OR JUST TO THINK, SPEAK AND DO THINGS STYLE FREE, THESE ENTITIES START TO STIR TO INTENSITIES THAT DEPEND ON THE LENGTH AND STRENGTH OF EXPOSURE AND ALWAYS TAKE TIME TO DISSIPATE NEVER TO ZERO BUT TO A MORE COMFORTABLE BASELINE LEVEL THAT DIFFERS IN DIFFERENT PEOPLE. FURTHER STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION AND TENSION ARE CONDITIONING SO THAT THEY BECOME MORE CHAOTIC, EASILY AROUSED DISPROPORTIONATELY TO INTENSE LEVELS THAT GET HARDER TO SHAKE OFF WITH CONTINUED PRACTICE AND WILL END IN UNCONTROLLABLE TORMENT.
Impossible not to suffer & suffer:
For a person who is emotional (likes, dislikes, is sad or hurt or fearful) and stylish (stretches syllables, change speed and loudness) it is impossible that he does not suffer from stress, restlessness, distraction and tension that he is foolishly unaware is becoming more severe, more chaotic with old age and he is headed for uncontrollable torment that is far from blameless but he is to be blamed for pummelling others with force as he pummels himself with force.
For a person who is not emotional (does not like, dislike, is not sad or hurt or fearful) and not stylish (does not stretches syllables, change speed and loudness) it is impossible that he should suffer from stress, restlessness, distraction and tension and he is blameless because he does not radiate force onto others, he does not persecute others with force changes.
I have described to you in detail what emotions are, what stress, restlessness, distraction and tension are and I describe to you the ONLY WAY out of emotions and thence stress, restlessness, distraction and tension namely:
PAY ATTENTION TO DETECT AND PUT TO A STOP ALL STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT WILL REDUCE YOUR LOAD OF STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION AND ENABLE YOU TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND THINGS MORE CLEARLY.
NO PSYCHIATRIST OR COUNSELOR OR CLERIC HAS EVER SAID THE THINGS I HAVE SAID AND THEREFORE I AM A TRULY UNIQUE IN SUBSTANCE PERSON, SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE AND SAID SOMETHING NO ONE ELSE IN THIS WORLD HAS SAID OR DONE.
The gold bubble:
Recently the price of gold declined by about $30 in one day.
There is likely if not certainly a bubble in gold and other precious metals and diamonds.
Powerful funds have cornered the market not just by their financial muscle but by leveraging or using borrowed money to amplify their control of prices.
Now that there is a credit squeeze, it is likely they too are pressured to unwind and thus sell depressing gold prices and so those who think that gold is a safe haven may be duped because at current prices of $800 plus per oz, it may potentially have a lot of room to fall.
Similarly the present rapidly declining oil price may not be so much due to fundamentals but speculators being hit as their credit lines are squeezed and they are dumping causing prices to fall.
You can only like or dislike, not understand style:
No one can understand style because there is nothing in style that can be understood it is merely the meaningless prolonging, changing of speed and strength by force that is meant to be seen and heard and because there is nothing meaningful or to be understood about style people have learnt or are coerced by others to be attracted to (to stir their mental forces to be attracted to) to style and because their mental forces are stirred attractively bys style present in them and others they perceive it as meaningful when they have been deceived, they have serious false perception that will end in mad perception.
In the course of things, this like that is stirred to be attracted to false harmful style is transferred to everything they perceive, they learn or condition themselves to like and dislike whatever they perceive through sight, sound, touch, taste and smell to such a compelling extent that they think surely they are right to be disgusted with sight and smell of excrement.
BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY LIKE OR DISLIKE YOUR STYLE AND OTHERS’ STYLES, YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND STYLE AND THERE IS CONSTANT STYLE IN THEMSELVES AND OTHERS, PEOPLE HAVE LEARNT TO SHUT OFF THEIR UNDERSTANDING TO INSTEAD GREET EVERYTHING HAPPENING WITH LIKE AND DISLIKE WHICH IS DE FACTO GREETING EVERYTHING WITH FORCE THAT IS BLIND AND BLINDING WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING AND SO IT IS THAT BEINGS IN THIS WORLD WHO ALL POSSESS STYLE, WHO ALL LIKE AND DISLIKE CANNOT GENUINELY UNDERSTAND EXCEPT IN THEIR DELUSION THEY DO. WHAT THEY CALL THEIR UNDERSTANDING IS THEIR MISUNDERSTANDING AND DELUSION.
A £516 trillion derivatives 'time-bomb'
Not for nothing did US billionaire Warren Buffett call them the real 'weapons of mass destruction'
By Margareta Pagano and Simon Evans
Sunday, 12 October 2008
The market is worth more than $516 trillion, (£303 trillion), roughly 10 times the value of the entire world's output: it's been called the "ticking time-bomb".
It's a market in which the lead protagonists – typically aggressive, highly educated, and now wealthy young men – have flourished in the derivatives boom. But it's a market that is set to come to a crashing halt – the Great Unwind has begun.
Last week the beginning of the end started for many hedge funds with the combination of diving market values and worried investors pulling out their cash for safer climes.
Some of the world's biggest hedge funds – SAC Capital, Lone Pine and Tiger Global – all revealed they were sitting on double-digit losses this year. September's falls wiped out any profits made in the rest of the year. Polygon, once a darling of the London hedge fund circuit, last week said it was capping the basic salaries of its managers to £100,000 each. Not bad for the average punter but some way off the tens of millions plundered by these hotshots during the good times. But few will be shedding any tears.
The complex and opaque derivatives markets in which these hedge funds played has been dubbed the world's biggest black hole because they operate outside of the grasp of governments, tax inspectors and regulators. They operate in a parallel, shadow world to the rest of the banking system. They are private contracts between two companies or institutions which can't be controlled or properly assessed. In themselves derivative contracts are not dangerous, but if one of them should go wrong – the bad 2 per cent as it's been called – then it is the domino effect which could be so enormous and scary.
Most markets have something behind them. Central banks require reserves – something that backs up the transaction. But derivatives don't have anything – because they are not real money, but paper money. It is also impossible to establish their worth – the $516 trillion number is actually only a notional one. In the mid-Nineties, Nick Leeson lost Barings £1.3bn trading in derivatives, and the bank went bust. In 1998 hedge fund LTCM's $5bn loss nearly brought down the entire system. In fragile times like this, another LTCM could have catastrophic results.
That is why everyone is now so frightened, even the traders, who are desperately trying to unwind their positions but finding it impossible because trading is so volatile and it's difficult to find counterparties. Nor have the hedge funds been in the slightest bit interested in succumbing to normal rules: of the world's thousands of hedge funds only 24 have volunteered to sign up to a code of conduct.
Few understand how this world operates. The US Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke, tapped up some of Wall Street's best for a primer on their workings when he took the job a few years ago. Britain's financial regulator, the Financial Services Authority, has long talked about the problems the markets could face on the back of derivative complexity. Unfortunately it did little to curb the products' growth.
In America the naysayers have been rather more vocal for longer. Famously, Warren Buffett, the billionaire who made his money the old-fashioned way, called them "weapons of mass destruction". In the late 1990s when confidence was roaring in the midst of the dotcom boom, a small band of politicians, uncomfortable with the ease with which banks would be allowed to play in these burgeoning markets, were painted as Luddites failing to move with the times.
Little-known Democratic senator Byron Dorgan from North Dakota was one of the most vociferous refuseniks, telling his supposedly more savvy New York peers of the dangers. "If you want to gamble, go to Las Vegas. If you want to trade in derivatives, God bless you," he said. He was ignored.
What is a Derivative?
Warren Buffett, the American investment guru, dubbed them "financial weapons of mass destruction", but for the once-great-and-good of Wall Street they were the currency that enabled banks, hedge funds and other speculators to make billions.
Anything that carries a price can spawn a derivatives market. They are financial contracts sold to pass on risk to others. The credit or bond derivatives market is one such example. It is thought that speculation in this area alone is worth more than $56 trillion (£33 trillion), although that probably underestimates the true figure since lax regulation has seen the market explode over the past two years.
At the core of this market is the credit derivative swap, effectively an insurance policy against the default in the interest payment on a corporate bond. One doesn't even need to own the bond itself. It is like Joe Public buying an insurance policy on someone else's house and pocketing the full value if it burns down.
As markets slid into crisis, and banks and corporations began to default on bond payments, many of these policies have proved worthless.
Emilio Botin, the chairman of Santander, the Spanish bank that has enjoyed phenomenal success during the credit crunch, once said: "I never invest in something I don't understand." A wise man, you may think.

Jesus like the Buddha speaks of renunciation:
Quote:
And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: 'Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour your father and mother.'" And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth." And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
Everything Jesus said above is in accord with what the Buddha said who also taught you must honor your parents. Selling everything and giving it to the poor (not rich) is a significant act of renunciation that is also in line with what the Buddha said. When you become a homeless monk you have renounced everything.
Thus anyone who says the Buddha is a fake without knowing and seeing it is so is asking for judgment because no one has a right to tell others what he does not see and know as true.
Giddiness is sibling of stress, restlessness, distraction & tension:
It is impossible for a mind to be giddy if it is not subject to force, something that although possible if one is skillful, is never experienced by those sunken and absorbed in this world and it is impossible for a mind not to experience giddiness if it is subject to force.
Thus all ordinary emotional stylish people must experience giddiness that may be sudden, momentary or take awhile to subside and it is a warning of harm being done to the mind by force and future suffering even doom.
The exposure of a mind to force whether it be to fabricate emotions, style or to think, speak or do things lead to giddiness which is part of the stress, restlessness, distraction, tension complex.
Stubbornness is action based on dislike:
When a person is stubborn he maintains a course of action in speech and deed that is harmful to himself and others even in the face of suffering and admonition or good advice from others. The reason is his aroused anger or hate perhaps there is an obstacle in his path to get what he wants or he dislikes others telling him what to do even when he can see his course of action brings him suffering and is getting nowhere.
THUS STUBBORNNESS THAT CHARACTERISE THE ACTIONS OF EMOTIONAL PEOPLE FAR MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THEY REALIZE IS ANOTHER FORM OF DISLIKE. WHEN A PERSON IS STUBBORN HE PERSISTS IN A MODE OF ACTION OR SPEECH THAT IS DRIVEN BY FORCE, DRIVEN BY DISLIKE AT BEING THWARTED OR HAVING TO REVERSE HIMSELF NOT GUIDED BY REASON. THUS WHEN YOU SAY A PERSON IS STUBBORN YOU ARE SAYING HE BASES HIS ACTION ON DISLIKE FOR CORRECTION, IT IS ALL ABOUT DISLIKE AS A MOTIVATION.
Why are people so hard, even impossible to change?
There is change that is significant or meaningful and change that is not significant or meaningless. You can change a person from one act (extroverted, fun loving) to another (more sedate introverted) but it is insignificant or meaningless change from one suffering act to another suffering act or you can change the person meaningfully (because it releases him from the suffering of stress, restlessness and distraction) from being an actor with style and emotions to a non actor without style and emotions.
It is difficult to change a person from one act to another, from one deluded belief or viewpoint to another deluded belief or viewpoint and it is much more difficult if not impossible to change him from one act to NO act because there are no such models in this world, there is tremendous social pressure to adopt an act of your own, the person is a robot who does not know what non robotic existence is about, have not experienced it and he is not guided by genuine reason but his actions are driven by force which is blind and blinding, which conditions and without laborious de-conditioning he cannot change from an actor to a non actor.
THERE IS MEANINGFUL CHANGE (CONVERSION FROM STYLE TO STYLE FREE EXISTENCE) AND MEANINGLESS CHANGE (CONVERSION FROM ONE ACT TO ANOTHER ACT). EVEN MEANINGLESS CHANGE IS HARD TO ACHIEVE IN ACTORS LET ALONE MEANINGFUL CHANGE.
There are two reasons why meaningful change is very difficult if not impossible.
The first reason is that it is the truth that people’s actions are never guided by genuine (but false programmed rules or forced reason) reason driven by force from substance and style plans of speech and actions stored in their mental jukeboxes. Because it is force that is the basis of their action and reason and force is blind and blinding, they are blind and cannot and have never reasoned genuinely. A person blinded by force cannot see (what he sees is a force distorted reality or perversion of reality) so how can he reason genuinely? Further force is conditioning and so there is tremendous force or urge driving their rote actions from their mental jukeboxes that must be overcome by laborious de-conditioning that may fail midway for some reason. If de-conditioning should fail half way then the person will lapse to his former condition of being a styled rote actor.
MOST PEOPLE EVEN THOSE WHO THINK THEY ARE GOOD AND WONDERFUL HAVE NO DESIRE TO CHANGE THEMSELVES, SO HOW CAN THEY CHANGE? EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO CHANGE YOURSELF YOU MUST SUBJECT YOURSELF TO A LABORIOUS COURSE OF DE-CONDITIONING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT SUCCEED, YOU CAN REVERT TO YOUR OLD HABITS PARTLY THROUGH INDIFFERENCE AND PARTLY THROUGH SOCIAL PRESSURES. EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO CHANGE YOURSELF MEANINGFULLY, YOU MUST ATTACK THE PROBLEM PERSISTENTLY IN THE CORRECT PATH AND THAT MEANS PAYING ATTENTION NOT TO USE FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS WHICH ARE SO RAMPANT AND INURED, MOST SOMNOLENT ACTORS SEVERELY UNDERESTIMATE THEIR PRESENCE.
THUS THE FIRST REASON WHY IT IS DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR STYLED EMOTIONAL PEOPLE TO CHANGE IS BECAUSE THEIR BEHAVIOR IS IN TRUTH DRIVEN BY FORCE NEVER GUIDED BY GENUINE REASON AND FORCE IS BLIND AND BLINDING AND SO BLINDED BY FORCE THEY CANNOT SEE OR SEE A PERVERTED FORCE DISTORTED REALITY AND THEREFORE CANNOT CHANGE. EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO CHANGE, AND MANY HAVE NO DESIRE TO CHANGE, BECAUSE FORCE IS CONDITIONING THEY MUST SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO A LABORIOUS COURSE OF DECONDITIONING THAT REQUIRES THEM TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEIR BEHAVIOR AND APPLY CORRECTION PERSISTENTLY UNTIL IT IS SUCCESSFUL.
The second reason why it is difficult if not impossible for actors to change meaningfully is because their actions are all rehashed from a mental jukebox in which they are merely voyeurs and disk jockeys who kid themselves they are masters of themselves. When people learn new behavior or change their behavior they are essential reprogramming themselves, adding new or changing or modifying their mental programs. In order to change meaningfully to become a non actor, something revolutionary is required, they are required to drop what they have been doing all this while, to stop programming themselves, to stop relying on mental programs in order to say or do things.
PEOPLE ARE FULLTIME ROBOTS AND BEHAVING ROBOTICALLY IS THE ONLY WAY THEY KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE. TO TRY TO CHANGE THEM FROM BEING A ROBOT TO A NON ROBOT WHO PAYS ATTENTION TO THINGS HAPPENING AROUND TO FASHION A FRESH SPECIFIC TO THAT OCCASION RESPONSE IN WORD OR DEED IS SOMETHING VERY DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE IN SOME.
FURTHER THERE IS TREMENDOUS HARD IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE SOCIAL PRESSURES TO ADOPT A ROBOTIC STYLISH EMOTIONAL WAY OF BEHAVING IN ORDER TO CONFORM.
The Buddha said that you have existed for so long for so many eons that it is hard to find a being who has not been related closely to you some time in the past, you have shed your blood from having your neck cut as animals and humans greater than the four great oceans and this indicates that it is true people are foolish and almost impossible to reform. It is impossible for an emotion free, style free person to have wandered for so long, suffered for so long.
A robot can only be reprogrammed:
The only change you can undertake in a robot is to reprogram it and after successful reprogramming it will always behave according to the new programs.
It is impossible to convert a robot who can only speak and do things according to instructions or plans in its hard disk to non robot who can speak and do thing fresh specific to the occasion without plans in their mental jukebox telling them what to say or do.
When people in this world change, they are merely reprogramming themselves from one act to another eg an atheistic actor to a religious actor, from a violent actor to a less violent actor.
YOU CAN CHANGE A PERSON FROM ONE STYLE TO ANOTHER STYLE BUT IT IS DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE A PERSON FROM ONE STYLE TO NO STYLE BECAUSE IT DEMANDS A REVOLUTION, A CHANGE FROM TOTAL ROTE REHASH FROM PRE-RECORDED CONDUCT TO FRESH SPECIFIC TO THE OCCASION SPEECH AND ACTION.
THE REASON IT IS DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE FROM STYLE TO NO STYLE IS BECAUSE PEOPLE’S USUAL BEHAVIOR ARE DRIVEN BY FORCE THAT IS BLIND AND CONDITIONING. HOW CAN SOMEONE WHO IS BLINDED BY FORCE AND CANNOT SEE INSTITUTE CHANGE? EVEN IF THEY WANTED CHANGE (SOMETHING THAT FEW WILL WANT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE TORMENTED), THEY MUST SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO DE-CONDITIONING THAT MAY NOT SUCCEED AND REQUIRE EFFORT AND PERSISTENCE. ON TOP OF THIS THERE IS TREMENDOUS SOCIAL COERCION TO ACT, TO BEHAVE LIKE A ROBOT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
PEOPLE ARE A BIT BETTER THAN ROBOTS IN THAT THEY HAVE CONSCIOUSNESS THAT IS LARGELY IF NOT ENTIRELY WASTED IN MERELY ACTING AS A VOYEUR OR SPECTATOR AND DISK JOCKEY AND SO UNLIKE MECHANICAL ROBOTS, THEY CAN BE CONVERTED FROM BEING A ROBOT TO A NON ROBOT BUT IT IS AN OPTION FEW WILL TAKE NOT REALIZING THEY ARE HEADED EVEN FOR ANOTHER ETERNITY OF WEEPING AND GNASHING THEIR TEETH.
Dr M’s finest legacy:
M Bakri: One of Mahathir’s finest legacies is his amending the constitution in 1993 to remove the sultans’ absolute legal immunity. With that, our sultans can now be sued over both civil and criminal matters relating to their personal conduct.
Comment: What he is saying is in opposition to what Jesus said that a bad tree cannot bear good fruit and therefore there is no finest legacy from Dr M.
To call his amendment of the constitution that is self serving as his finest legacy reflects serious poor judgment that you want to share with others. Thus the person has muddled thinking and you will be a fool to read what he says.
Childish irresponsible BN leaders:
Apparently senior government leaders skipped parliament yesterday because Anwar was addressing parliament.
This is a childish act and is another indication that they are not responsible people. You are elected and paid to run the country and that means you should attend parliament unless there are unavoidable reasons.
Quote: So far, none of the cabinet ministers or their deputies has taken him (Anwar) seriously. Their glaring absence from the House on Monday prompted the opposition to accuse them of being arrogant.
Do governments have the money?
Governments around the world announced massive bailouts of the financial sector and shares surge.
Announcing is one thing and finding the money is another thing especially with many nations in the world especially the US and UK already up to their necks in debts.
Quote: Until this summer, Gordon Brown argued that it was dangerous for national debt to exceed more than 40 per cent of gross domestic product - around £500billion.
However, once the rescue of Northern Rock, the bail-out of the banks, the cost of the Private Finance Initiative and unfunded public sector pension fund commitments are included, the national debt probably stands around £2trillion - that is four times the level regarded as safe by Gordon Brown.
Even if the governments are able to find the money, it would mean increased taxes, cutting back on expenditures elsewhere and that will mean a lean even depressed economy for years to come.
Even as the financial turmoil was roiling the markets, London financiers were busy rewarding themselves with billions in bonuses, etc.
This crisis was never an accident, when state officials met Bush Federal officials years ago to complain about dangerous predatory lending they were dismissed. A Congressional investigation that clamoured for greater control of derivative trades was naturally not liked by its industry, Rubin and Greenspan were instrumental in thwarting it and Laurence Summer even scolded the lady who was its driving force.
THUS THOSE WHO THINK THE PRESENT CRISIS WAS AN ACCIDENT, NOBODY KNEW IN ADVANCE IT COULD LEAD TO THIS IS A FOOL. THOSE IN THE INDUSTRY AND WHO SHOULD HAVE IMPOSED CONTROLS WERE RECKLESS, WILL NOT BE DENIED AND ANY ATTEMPTS TO TAKE THE PUNCH BOWL FROM THE MARKET WERE RESISTED EVEN BEATEN OFF BY THOSE WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER. IF WARREN BUFFET CAN SEE THAT DERIVATIVES CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD AND IS AN INSTRUMENT OF MASS DESTRUCTION, WHY DIDN’T GREENSPAN AND RUBIN SEE IT SO BUT INSTEAD THEY ACTED TO CONGRESS AS IF THEY KNEW EVERYTHING AND THE SYSTEMIC RISK IS NO MORE THAN THE RISK OF LIVING.
THUS NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS THERE IS ALREADY A DESTRUCTION OF WEALTH THAT IN TRUTH WAS NEVER THERE, A LOT OF MONEY THAT IS NOT THERE HAS BEEN EARNMARKED TO BAIL OUT THE BANKS AND THERE MAY BE MORE LANDMINES UNDISCOVERED IN THE FINANCIAL SECTOR.
The engine metaphor:
Just as you can put an engine to work by connecting it through the transmission and drive it or you can disengage it and just rev it to hear the sound of the engine working, in the same way you can utilize your force of going against self to do work by fashioning your substance and style speech and actions or you can just rev your mental force without doing work to experience emotions (like, dislike, sadness, hurt and fear). If you rev the engine gently up and down in speed and strength, you experience like, if you rev it aggressively up and down you get dislike, if you prolong or raise and maintain the revs you experience sadness, if you rev it up violently you get hurt, when you suddenly stop revving and hit the brakes you get fear.
Just as a car needs an engine or source of power to go and also need brakes or source of braking force to stop, in the same way your mind needs a propulsive and an opposing retarding force.
Force is blind and will not listen or be told to stop. Force can only be stopped by an opposite force. Even if you could design a car that will stop when told to, it still needs force to apply brakes because the receptive software must activate the braking or opposing force system to stop the car.
In the same way, because your mental force of going against self that propels whatever you say or do cannot be told to stop, it requires equal and opposite force to bring it to a stop, there must be a second opposite force, the force of self preservation to control and stop the activities of the force of going against self.
THUS IF YOU ARE A ROBOT IN WHOM THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY OR DO IS ALREADY RECORDED AS PLANS IN WHICH YOU ONLY SELECT (OFTEN THE JUKEBOX EVEN SELECTS FOR YOU) AND SUPPLY FORCE TO POWER IT, YOU NEED THE EXISTENCE OF ANOTHER FORCE WITH WHICH TO STOP OR MODIFY WHAT YOU REGURGITATE ROBOTICALLY.
THUS WHATEVER YOU SAY OR DO IS AN INTERPLAY OF OPPOSING FORCES IN WHICH YOU HAVE NO DIRECT CONTROL BUT LITTLE INDIRECT, PONDEROUS OR CLUMSY DELAYED CONTROL AND YOU MUST BE ANXIOUS BECAUSE IT IS PRECARIOUS AND VULNERABLE TO BREAKDOWN. ONCE YOU EXECUTE A ROTE SEQUENCE OF SPEECH YOU CANNOT STOP IT IMMEDIATELY BUT MUST WAIT FOR THE FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION TO INTERVENE TO STOP IT.
You cannot stop it yourself:
Once you start a rote sequence of speech or action, because it is your jukebox that is carrying it out powered by the force of going against self that you cannot stop, if you make a mistake, the only way you can stop it is if you mobilize your force of self preservation to rise as rapidly as possible to oppose and bring the speech or action to a stop so that it can be replaced by a different robotic sequence.
In some situations this can be dangerous even fatal eg you ordered your jukebox to proceed to drive the car into a junction without seeing a danger and subsequently you spotted the danger but there is a delay that may be fatal between ordering your force of self preservation to stop powering ahead and it coming into effect.
In a person who is not a robot it is not his jukebox or retrieved standardized program that is driving the car and being a fresh specific to that occasion driving he is attentive and proceeds into the junction fully aware of possible dangers, each incremental sequence into the junction is intended and freshly composed and can be not composed or stopped immediately without having to order an opposite force to stop it. For instance he sees a danger he did not spot earlier and he orders his force of going against self to press the brakes or turn the steering to swerve where the stylish robotic person has to first order his force of self preservation to stop his proceeding forward and then order his force of going against self to next press the brakes or swerve.
Can only stop indirectly not directly:
Because it is your mental jukebox that is responsible for what you are doing and not you, and it is powered blindly by force according to a rigid plan, you cannot stop what you are doing directly or immediately but you must resort to calling up your force of self preservation to rise and put to a stop what the force of going against self is currently powering.
If you are freshly composing your current action, it is you who is composing it attentively bit by bit and you can immediately stop it without having to call up your force of self preservation to do it and wait for it to finally succeed, a lapse of time that can prove fatal in some situations.
WHAT IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING FRESHLY COMPOSED AND RENDERED CAN BE STOPPED STRAIGHTAWAY, WHAT IS BEING REHASHED IS BEING ACTIVATED MINDLESSLY ACCORDING TO A PLAN, LIKE A ZOMBIE THAT CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY ASKING THE FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION TO RISE AND PUT IT TO A STOP.
What has urge is hard to stop:
What has urge behind it, is not specifically intended but generically to please or impress others is hard to stop, what has no urge but is fully meant, fully intended for an occasion is easy to stop.
If you have proceeded across a junction many times according to a rote plan called ‘go for it’, there is urge even tremendous urge behind it so that once executed it is difficult even impossible to stop and in the face of danger the person may even elect to continue going, ‘come what may’ when it is suicidal.
If you are proceeding across a junction live, specific for this occasion, there is no urge to go or stop but you proceed with reason and understanding at a sane speed across the junction and what has no urge driving it but is guided by attentive reason can be stopped immediately and directly.
PEOPLE HAVE DECEIVED THEMSELVES AND OTHERS THAT THEIR SPEECH AND ACTIONS ARE LIVE AND SPONTANEOUS WHEN THEY ARE REHASHED DEAD PLANS CARRIED OUT MINDLESSLY WITHOUT QUESTION BY MENTAL FORCE AND BECAUSE THEY ARE REHASHED AND HAVE BEEN REHASHED MANY TIMES BEFORE THERE IS TREMENDOUS URGE TO CARRY THEM OUT TO COMPLETION SO THAT IF THE UNEXPECTED SHOULD OCCUR, THEY MAY FIND IT HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP AND EVEN IF THEY STOP THERE IS A DELAY THAT MAY PROVE FATAL.
WHAT IS NOT RECORDED BUT FRESHLY COMPOSED FOR THE SITUATION AT HAND HAS NO URGE, NO FORCE BACKING IT AND IS EASILY IMMEDIATELY STOPPABLE.
It is easy to stop composing:
If what you say or do is composed fresh for the occasion, because that composing is fresh or current in real time, it can be stopped and modified immediately so that the speech or action is immediately stopped or modified.
If what you say or do is stale, from a recording in which you are only selecting it and asking your mental parrot to use force to execute it to completion then the momentum is to keep on going until the recorded sequence is finished and you cannot stop it except to use force to stop the playback completely and then select a replacement recording you think is more apt.
THUS WHEN A STYLE FREE PERSON IS STOPPING AN ACTION OR SPEECH HE IS MERELY STOPPING HIS COMPOSING THAT SPEECH OR ACTION BUT WHEN A ROBOTIC STYLISH PERSON IS STOPPING AN ACTION OR SPEECH, HIS SPEECH OR ACTION HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPOSED AND SO HE CANNOT STOP COMPOSING IT BUT HE HAS TO ORDER HIS FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION TO RISE AND PUT TO A STOP THE CURRENT ACTION OR SPEECH THAT IS BEING BLINDLY POWERED TO COMPLETION BY THE FORCE OF GOING AGAINST SELF.
IT IS EASY TO STOP FORCE FREE COMPOSING BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO STOP A REHASHED PLAN OF ACTION OR SPEECH THAT IS BLINDLY POWERED BY FORCE AND HAS URGE FROM REPEATED USE.
A world of a difference:
There is a world of a difference between freshly composed speech and action intended for an occasion and speech and action that are rehashed according to plans in one’s mental jukebox that cannot fit a situation perfectly but only approximately because it is meant for a variety of similar but not identical situations.
For most occasions and to undiscerning people, they cannot spot the difference and they fool themselves and others that they are genuine ‘spontaneous’ people when they are mindless rehashing robots.
However because their speech and actions are ‘clever’ forgeries, faked specific to the occasion when they are lifelessly insincerely reproduced to impress or please others, they can be found out and in some situations it may prove fatal, they may pay with their lives for cheating, for faking what is impersonally reproduced for show as true and intended.
ONLY THE PERSON WHO EXIST STYLE FREE COMPOSING SPECIFICALLY FOR EACH OCCASION IS AN ASSURED, BLISSFUL SANE MAN, ANYONE WHO HAS STYLE AND IS REHASHING MUST LIVE IN ANXIETY, IS STRESSED AND TORMENTED AWAITING FINAL LOSS OF CONTROL AND INSANITY.
PEOPLE CANNOT TELL WHAT IS LIVE AND WHAT IS REGURGITATED SPEECH AND ACTION WHEN IT IS CLEARLY DISTINGUISHABLE TO THOSE WHO ARE DISCERNING AND THERE IS A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE EVEN AS WIDE AS HEAVEN AND HELL BETWEEN FRESHLY COMPOSED AND STALE REHASHED SPEECH AND ACTIONS.
Andy William singing:
If you are truly Andy William singing live for the occasion you can immediately stop it or modify your singing (louder or softer or faster). But if it is a recording of Andy William singing, you have to go to the tape recorder and press the stop button. You cannot modify the recording to make Andy William sing in a different way.
THIS IS THE WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GENUINE LIVE SPEECH AND ACTION AND ROTE FAKED LIVE SPEECH AND ACTION. SO LONG AS YOU ARE HAPPY TO HEAR ANDY WILLIAMS SING THE SAME OLD SONG THE SAME OLD WAY WITHOUT VARIATIONS AND PRETEND YOU ARE ACTUALLY HEARING HIM SINGING WHEN IT IS A DEAD RECORDING, THEN THAT WILL BE FINE.
Test to explore if computers can think:
It reflects the advanced false perception that will end in mad perception of people who think there is life or thinking in computers such that they might device tests that will confirm thinking or life in computers.
Computers can never think, they can only do what they are told. Of course if they are programmed to activate 5 possible responses to a situation and they are then told or programmed to ‘think’ or look for data that will influence the computer to activate option A instead of B, C, D or E then it may appear that it is thinking when it is just doing what it is told to do. What a computer is not told to do it cannot do.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT COMPUTERS HAVE LIFE IN THEM, THAT THEY CAN THINK FOR THEMSELVES BUT THEY CAN ONLY DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD TO DO.
HUMANS ARE ROBOTS BUT ON TOP OF THAT THEY HAVE CONSCIOUSNESS OR SEEING OR KNOWING THAT USUALLY LEFT ON THE BACK BURNER OR OVERIDDEN OR POORLY DEVELOPED.
