Unenlightened beings do not know the changeless:
The Buddha said that whatever is changing is deceptive and suffering, only Nirvana the changeless is true and bliss.
You are a fool if you think you know what is changeless because all beings trapped in becoming do not know what is changeless.
You may sit still or remain silent and imagine that for the moment you are experiencing the changeless but you are deluding yourself.
Again you may see an article sitting motionless or see the mountain looking the same day after day and think you perceive the unchanging but you are fooling yourself.
EVEN AS YOU SIT MOTIONLESS AND SILENT YOU ARE STILL EXPERIENCING CHANGE IN YOUR BODY AND MIND IMPINGING ON YOUR MIND AND IT IS NOT THE CHANGELESSNESS THAT THE BUDDHA IS DESCRIBING AS NIRVANA.
YOU MAY SEE AN IMMOBILE OBJECT (A WATCH ON THE TABLE) OR AN UNMOVING MOUNTAIN BUT THAT TOO ARE NOT CHANGELESS BECAUSE THE WATCH AND MOUNTAIN ARE STILL CHANGING VERY SLOWLY THAT ESCAPE YOUR INSENSITIVE UNFOCUSSED ATTENTION.
BEINGS TRAPPED HERE ARE ALL SUFFERING EVEN TO TORMENTING LEVELS BUT THEY ARE CONCEITED AND THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING. THEY MAY IMAGINE AND THINK THEY KNOW WHAT HEAVEN MUST BE LIKE BUT THEY MAY DELUDED AND JUST AS THEY DO NOT KNOW HEAVEN OR THEIR IMAGINATION OF HEAVEN IS FAR FROM REALITY EVEN MORE SO THEY MAY THINK THEY KNOW THE CHANGELESS AND WHAT THE BUDDHA IS DESCRIBING BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS LIKE AND FAR FROM BORING OR ANNIHILATION, IT IS THE END OF ALL SUFFERING FOR THE BEING.
Warren Buffett Admits He Is A Robot:
Warren Buffett said that when people are greedy he gets fearful and when people are fearful he gets greedy. This is a rule and he admits he works by using rules and obeying rules and is therefore a robot. Many people who read what he said will see nothing wrong and agree with it not because they know it is true but because they themselves are somnolent robots who follow rules and it strikes a chord in their hearts.
Rules are designed to be applied onto many situations with similarities and are therefore approximations that never fit perfectly. You may get what you want applying rules nine times out of ten but you will be caught out, sometimes badly by the one exception to the rule because rules are false, situations do not follow rules, each situation has its unique merits and one feature of the current market collapse may make that rule foolhardy.
It took the market many decades to recover after the 1929 crash and so if you followed the rule and bought in 1930 you will have to wait decades to see capital gain.
Again today it may be different, there may still be much more to fall even though it has fallen much and after hitting bottom there may be no quick recovery but prolonged waxing waning gloom. It may not be so much the ingenuity of mankind that triggered rapid recoveries in the past but it may be the earth as the repository of wealth which mankind reaped and raped that resulted in relatively mild quick recovering recessions. This time it may be different because the earth’s population is reaching the unsustainable, mankind’s destruction of the earth’s resources (fisheries, forestry, narrow agriculture production, pollution, global warming, even destabilization of the earth’s plate tectonics to cause earthquakes) means mankind cannot turn to the earth to bail him out.
IT MAY BE THE TRUTH THAT A MAN OF GENUINE REASON DOES NOT FOLLOW RULES, DOES NOT NEED RULES AND SO A MAN WHO IS SHOWN TO FOLLOW RULES IN ONE INSTANCE IS A SLAVE OF RULES EVERYWHERE ELSE AND IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN BY DEMONSTRATING HE IS A MAN OF RULES NOT GENUINE REASONING, IT SHOWS THAT ROTE RULES LOGIC CAN TAKE YOU VERY FAR IN THIS WORLD, EVEN TO THE PINNACLE TO BECOME THE WEALTHIEST MAN ON THE PLANET. YOU DO NOT NEED GENUINE REASONING TO SURVIVE WELL, EVEN RISE TO THE TOP IN THIS FORCE DRIVEN BLIND WORLD.
WARREN BUFFETT MANIFEST STYLE IN WHAT HE SAYS AND HOW HE SAYS THEM AND THEREFORE HE IS A ROBOT LIKE THE REST OF MANKIND. RATHER THAN THE SAGE OF OMAHA HE IS A FOOL LIKE THE REST PREOCCUPIED IN MAKING WEALTH THAT IS FOOD THAT DOES NOT LAST AND THEY WILL PERISH WITH THEIR PERISHABLE FOOD TO RETURN HERE AGAIN AND AGAIN NOT NECESSARILY AS HUMANS BUT ANIMALS.
So you want to invest?
So you want to invest in the current market?
The wise man does not follow rules like when others get fearful he gets greedy or he takes a bet by buying low (now) and selling high because what is low now may be lower later than higher.
IN ORDER TO MAKE A DECISION WHETHER TO INVEST TODAY, THE MAN OF GENUINE REASON GATHERS ALL THE INFORMATION THAT ARE RELEVANT TO HIS DECISION, SEE WHAT THEY INDIVIDUALLY AND IN COMBINATION SAY AND IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT INFORMATION TO SAY ‘BUY’ HE THEN BUYS. IF THERE IS INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION HE ABSTAINS BECAUSE ACTING ON INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION IS BETTING AND COURTING UNCERTAINTY THAT LEADS TO FUTURE WOE.
THUS THE MAN OF GENUINE REASON MAKES A SPECIFIC FRESH DECISION BASED ON THE PRESENT SITUATION NOT WHEN PEOPLE ARE FEARFUL I AM GREEDY.
Buffett’s great faith in American capitalism:
Warren Buffett recently came out to defend American companies and express his faith in their ability to prosper. This is again a rules reasoning that is foolhardy.
The Romans once ruled a large swathe of the world (so did the dinosaurs) and it was said their technology was superior. If you have great faith in Romans you will be nowhere today.
Chrysler is struggling badly and even GM and Ford’s survival are questioned as their Japanese competitors render them second best.
THERE IS NO NEED TO HAVE GREAT (UNQUALIFIED) FAITH IN AMERICAN OR JAPANESE OR CHINESE CAPITALISM THAT ACTS AS A GUIDE TO YOUR ACTIONS BUT TIMES CHANGE, CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGES AND WHO WAS FIRST MAY BECOME LAST AND SO IT IS AGAIN A BLIND RULES LOGIC THAT MAY SERVE WARREN BUFFETT WELL IN THE PAST BECAUSE AMERICAN CAPITALISM WAS ALWAYS THE TOPDOG (NOT NECESSARILY BY MERIT BUT BY HOOK AND CROOK, BY BULLYING AND THE FACT THAT ITS CURRENCY IS THE WORLD’S RESERVE CURRENCY) BUT ONE DAY HE MAY FALL FLAT ON HIS FACE HAVING BLIND UNQUESTIONED FAITH IN YANKEE KNOWHOW.
A Lot Of Wealth Generated By Earth Not Man:
After mankind got themselves into a hole or mess as a result of his financial follies, it may be the earth not mankind that bailed himself out by spending but this time the earth may not bail mankind out.
If your economy is moribund, then by cutting trees to provide timber or make paper that can be sold to generate wealth, it is the earth that is bailing out mankind.
Similarly by tapping the earth’s fisheries, oil, gas and coal fields, mining you generate commodities that can be sold to generate fresh wealth that will replenish the depleted wealth and accumulated debts of past abuses.
THUS MANKIND MAY BE FALSELY CONCEITED IN CONGRATULATING HIMSELF OF HIS ABILITY TO EXTRADITE HIMSELF FROM A BIG FINANCIAL HOLE THAT HE REPEATEDLY DIGS ITSELF BUT IT MAY BE SILENT MOTHER EARTH THAT BAILS OUT MANKIND AND NOW THE EARTH MAY NOT COME TO MANKIND’S RESCUE BECAUSE FISHERIES, FORESTRIES ARE EXHAUSTED, MANY SPECIES ARE DRIVEN TO EXTINCTION, WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF OIL AND GLOBAL WARMING IS THREATENING TO GET OUT OF CONTROL AND ROAST MANKIND ALIVE.
Reforming or patching up?
Mankind may like to delude itself that it learnt from past lessons but what happened in past crises was that the broken down bicycle was patched up to run again and it was done repeatedly without reforming and now that same bicycle may be about to give up the ghost, it can no longer be patched up because it has become dilapidated in a terminal state.
After the savings and loans crisis did America learn? If it learnt, how come the much bigger Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac bailouts have occurred? Even now what they are trying to do is patch up, apply triage and then to continue the same.
The Romans lasted much longer than the Americans:
Don’t look down on the Romans. Their empire lasted much longer than present American hegemony and so do not think the Americans are that smart and the rest of the world that stupid.
Warren Buffett Talking Nonsense Speaking Falsely:
Warren Buffett is talking nonsense (something that does not make sense) because he is speaking of fear and greed, both are products of the activities of blind force as the basis for his actions that he wants you to copy in withholding and supplying participation in the markets. It is blind and dangerous to base one’s investment decisions on force (fear and greed) instead of calm clear reason and by speaking of fear and greed as the bases for his actions he is talking about meaningless stirring of mental force as a meaningful basis for action and that is TALKING NONSENSE.
Warren Buffett is likely speaking falsely to pander to his audience because this boom and the greed that has fuelled it has gone on for more than a decade and surely he could not have been fearful all this while and he has been investing robustly despite his fears that he professes to have. People have been greedily investing all this while and so Buffett must have been fearfully withholding all this while.
Greed is the attractive stirring of a person’s mental force at the sight of something valuable like money, gold or stocks whose prices have dropped tremendously.
Fear is merely the sudden rise in the person’s force of self preservation coupled with a drop in strength of his force of going against self that results in resistance to what the person wants to do and even his running away.
Thus in talking about fear as the basis of his action in withholding investment when others are greedy and greed as the basis of his action in investing when others are fearful, he is saying that the basis of his actions is not genuine reason but blind dangerous force.
What is the use of being fearful that others are greedy?
What is the use of being fearful when others are greedy investing in the stock market?
Instead one should use genuine reason to calmly clearly see the dangers of being greedy snapping up shares and undertake a course of action that would be wise. If you think there is fear involved with what I described above or that fear is necessary in order to stir one into action (when it confuses the mind resulting in potentially fatal erroneous action) then you may be right or deluded.
What is the use of being greedy when others are fearfully dumping shares?
Instead one should use genuine reason to calmly clearly see why people are fearful, what the market conditions are and using your understanding to undertake a course of action that would be wise.
Buffett may not even be aware of his motive which may be to falsely suggest he is different from others, he is wise and others are stupid because he does the opposite of what others do and always come up top.
THERE IS NO NEED WHATSOVER TO BE GREEDY OR FEARFUL ABOUT ANY MATTER. JUST SUMMON GENUINE REASON TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND THE RELEVANT FACTORS IN A SITUATION AND THEN TAKE A REASONED COURSE OF ACTION THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THAT OCCASION AND IT REFLECTS FOOLISHNESS TO SPEAK OF BLIND FORCE DRIVEN EMOTIONS AS IF YOU ARE SPEAKING OF SOMETHING MEANINGFUL.
Who is it that will boil in hell?
The same person who will boil in hell even for hundreds of thousands of years is the very same person you are here and there is no death in hell to escape the torment meted. Until you have experienced the last quota of punishment you are not allowed to pass away from hell, unlike here where you can faint or pass out and not experience anymore pain.
Jesus said they hated him without reason and that is true because they hated him with dislike at his appearance and what he stood for and that is not reason. There is no reason in hate and it is just a personal quirky dislike for someone and a person who is suffering, tormented is jealous and therefore hateful and want to see others suffer because he is suffering and enjoy seeing others suffer.
This morning, as I passed this Chinese man who appear reasonably educated, he spat venomously as he got out of his car and later as I was crouched across the road in a parking area comforting my cats who saw me arrive and huddled around me, he reversed his car right up to me that I thought he would knock me over.
There was plenty of space to reverse and where I crouched was quite far from his car on the other side of the road. Surely he must be aware of my presence when he reversed and to come so close to me is to show no regard for my safety because as a driver I know you cannot be sure reversing blindly to come that close to person.
WHEN HE WAS REVERSING HE SHOULD BE AWARE I WAS CROUCHED WHERE HE WAS REVERSING AND OUT OF CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY HE SHOULD NOT HAVE COME SO CLOSE TO ME AND SO IT IS LIKELY IF NOT CERTAINLY AN ACT OF ILL WILL AND DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY FOR HIM TO BACK RIGHT UP TO ME THAT I WAS NOT AWARE UNTIL HE ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE MY BACK WAS TOWARDS HIS DIRECTION.
SPITTING AT A BUDDHA CAN SEND A PERSON TO HELL FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND ALTHOUGH I AM NO BUDDHA, BY THE BUDDHA’S CRITERIA I AM A NOBLE ONE AND ANYONE WHO SCOFFS AT NOBLE ONES LET ALONE SPIT, IS HEADED FOR PERDITION ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA AND THIS FOOLISH MAN DOES NOT REALIZE THERE MAY BE A PLACE IN HELL WAITING FOR HIM EVEN FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS FOR WHAT HAVE I DONE TO HIM THAT HE SHOULD BE SO SPITEFUL AND DISREGARD MY SAFETY. HE DID NOT LIKE THE CATS ENJOYING MY COMPANY?
REMEMBER, WHEN YOU BOIL IN HELL IT MAY BE EXACTLY THE SAME PERSON YOU ARE AT THE MOMENT WHO WILL BE BOILING AND AFTER YOU PASS AWAY FROM HELL YOU WILL FORGET YOURSELF TO BECOME SOME ANIMAL.
He is already mad:
I don’t even know him, I did not even look at him when I passed him as he got out of the car and being a matured and apparently educated man, what should irk so much not just to spit at me on sight but to deliberately reverse his car right up to where I was squatting with my back facing it?
It is just blind implacable wrath, dislike for someone at the sight of him perhaps he can see I am the opposite of what he stood for that can drive him to do such things that not only hurt others but hurt himself even as he does it and will bring torment in the future.
IF I HAD GLARED AT HIM OR SPAT AT HIM THEN MAYBE HE HAS REASON TO SPIT AND DISREGARD MY SAFETY TO BACK HIS CAR UP TO ME. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW HIM, DID NOT EVEN LOOK AT HIM WHEN I PASSED HIM AND SO HE MUST BE QUITE MAD TO DO WHAT HE DID AND THERE WILL BE UNCONTROLLABLE INSANITY IN THE FUTURE FOR HIM.
Anyone who spits is headed for perdition even hell:
When you spit you want to hurt another and anyone who wants to hurt another will himself get hurt, he will likely if not certainly boil in hell.
Jesus said the man who scolds his brother ‘you fool!’ is danger of hell, what more spitting to hurt another.
HE WAS SPITTING AS HE GOT OFF HIS CAR AND EXACTLY WHO OR WHAT HE IS SPITTING AT MAY BE KNOWN. IF YOU WANT TO HURT SOMEONE BY SPITTING EVEN THOUGH IT IS DRIVEN BY SELF HURT, YOU FELT SOMEONE ELSE HURT YOU WITH SOME REMARK AND YOU ARE SPITTING IN RETALIATION, HE WILL GO TO HELL AND SO WILL YOU.
YOU MAY ARGUE YOU ARE JUST CLEARING YOUR THROAT BUT EXACTLY WHAT IS THE MOTIVE CAN BE KNOWN AND BY DENYING YOU ARE CONDITIONING YOURSELF TO MAD CONFLICT OF DOING SOMETHING FOR ONE PURPOSE AND THINK IT IS ANOTHER PURPOSE.

Clueless about falling oil prices:
Does anybody believe that they can predict what is going to happen to oil prices any more?
(Apart from saying it is incomprehensible why oil is falling so drastically, the writer offered various explanations that may all be wrong, the actual explanation is something they never think of.
I may be right or wrong but my explanation is this: Oil prices rose to stratospheric levels because of the opening up of commodity markets due to lobbying by Morgan Stanley & Goldman Sachs that allowed speculators with sizeable financial muscle aided by margin trading to corner the market and push prices as high as they like but the recent credit crisis meant that margin finance is withdrawn from them, hedge funds has been hit by losses and redemption from fearful investors and the forced selling is the reason for the plummeting prices, not fundamentals.
Thus if I am correct, these so called experts are fools and deluded, to think of fundamentals as the explanation. A lot of things you accept including in science and medicine may be deluded.)
In July, light sweet crude was trading above $147 a barrel and respected analysts were predicting that it was on the way to $200 a barrel.
Three months later, it is approaching $60 a barrel and a 1.5 million barrel per day cut in output by the oil producers' cartel Opec last week did nothing to stop the fall.
"All Opec confirmed for the market is how weak demand is," says the oil trader and analyst Stephen Schork.
"We're still in a hangover from the $150 party."
Global downturn
In the summer, it did seem that whatever news came out the oil price would continue to rise.
Now, everybody is saying that the falling price is a result of the global downturn, which will reduce demand for oil.
If it carries on falling at this rate the price will be zero by Christmas |
In July, although we did not know about the full extent of the slowdown, we certainly knew that all was not well in many of the world's biggest economies, so what has changed?
Until three months ago, some people in the market expected oil to hit $200 a barrel on the basis that oil was close to running out, says John Hall from the energy consultants John Hall Associates.
"Now, just three months later, it is the opposite and producers cannot cut output back fast enough to keep up with falling demand," he says.
'Ultra-bearish'
Before July there appeared to be a belief that prices could rise and rise and people would still buy just as much oil.
"The market was testing how high prices could go before demand was hit," says Sandrine Torstad, head of market analysis at the Norwegian oil company StatoilHydro.
"The market was overshooting and now we are seeing undershooting as the market moves from ultra-bullish to ultra-bearish."
So what happened in the middle of July to make that sudden change of sentiment in the market?
It was largely in the data coming from the US, which is both the world's biggest energy consumer and one of the few places that releases reliable figures on energy use and reserves.
By July, there had already been signs that US consumption was falling, but the market had been so bullish that they had been ignored, until finally traders had to take notice.
Zero by Christmas
So the market was driven up by a combination of fears about where the supply was going to come from to meet growing demand from India and China, and is now being driven down by the perception that there may be over-supply because so many big economies are going to reduce their demand as they go into recession.
Is anybody prepared to stick their neck out and make predictions, even after the extraordinary year we have seen on the oil market?
"There has to be a balance somewhere," says Mr Hall.
"I think we're quite close to it now."
And it can be said with confidence that the rate of falls will at least slow.
"If it carries on falling at this rate the price will be zero by Christmas," Ms Torstad points out.
Why Malaysia will be hit even badly:
Recently the KLSE has been falling more severely and it was attributed to foreigners selling.
When foreigners sell they repatriate their money which makes the country poorer. Further, it takes local funds to absorb the shares they sold and that means funds are tied up and less available for use.
Again, the falling oil price will impact negatively on Malaysia because it is dependent on oil for revenue far more than conceded. This coupled with falling palm oil and rubber prices, will mean tough times for Malaysia whose banking sector too has been overextended lending for property speculation and consumption.
FALLING OIL AND COMMODITY PRICES WILL HIT REVENUE FOR MALAYSIA.
FOREIGNERS SELLING AND REPATRATION WILL MAKE THE COUNTRY POORER.
MALAYSIA IS LIKELY IF NOT CERTAINLY OVEREXTENDED ITSELF ON FRIVOLOUS PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND CONSUMPTION ON CREDIT.
How to dramatize:
Quote: She did not like the woman who was always taking her mother out for karaoke sessions.
The businesswoman, in her 20s, had enough of it on Saturday and confronted the other woman at an eatery in Kampung Wakaf Lichong here.
They fought and the businesswoman bit the ear of the other woman in the incident which took place at about 1am on Saturday.
Comment: This too is a form of style in the substance of speech, speaking in a dramatic, extended way to build up drama and use emotional and descriptive words (adjectives).
The style free, drama free version of the above is this: Businesswoman bit the ear off in a quarrel the woman whom she did not like taking her mother out for karaoke sessions.
IN ORDER TO DRAMATIZE TO IMPRESS OTHERS YOU MUST PROLONG OR PAD WHAT YOU SAY AS IF TO BUILD UP A SCENE TO A CLIMAX AND USE AS MANY ADJECTIVES THAT STIR EMOTIONS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Driving in KL not for faint hearted:
The above is always said falsely to stir the emotional ‘wow!’ of the person. It is false because the faint hearted, whatever that means (?timid), can also drive successfully in KL, it is not that bad and therefore false.
What the person wants to say is that driving in KL can be hazardous, but then that is the case for many cities in the world, so why make a fuss about KL?
IT IS A FRIVOLOUS STATEMENT OF LITTLE OR NO VALUE AND BECAUSE HE PERCEIVES IT AS MEANINGFUL, HE IS HEADED FOR INSANITY.
The danger of equating like with true and good:
People are kidding themselves if they think they can separate what they like from what is true or good, they falsely perceive that what is liked is good and true. Thus if they like something, they perceive that something must be good or true when it is never the case.
It may be the truth that stylish emotional people always react with like or dislike with whatever is happening that they perceive.
Sometimes their liking is associated with events that are true or good (like to help others or like to be thrifty or punctual) but more often than not their liking is for things that false, meaningless or bad (like to be funny, pranks, drinking, eating, money, expensive cars).
Even when their liking is in association with something that is wholesome it is not the reason why or understanding that is the guide to what they do but it is the liking or emotional gratification eg rescuing a stranded kitten that is their fruit and that is dangerous because when you do something wholesome because of liking, it means you do it because your mental force is stirred attractively and because mental force is blind, it is motivated out of blindness not clearly thinking reason.
EVEN WHEN YOUR LIKING IS IN ASSOCIATION WITH SOMETHING WHOLESOME, EG LIKE OR ATTRACTED TO HELP OTHERS OR DONATE, IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS NOT GENUINE REASON THAT IS THE GUIDE OF WHY YOU SHOULD HELP OR DONATE BUT IT IS BLIND MENTAL FORCE THAT DRIVES AND IT USUALLY FOLLOWS A RIGID PLAN IN WHICH THEY PERSON IS A ROBOT OF HELPING OTHERS, ‘THE YES SIR, ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE MAN!’ WHO BECAUSE HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HE SHOULD HELP OTHERS, CAN BE CONNED BY OTHERS TO ASSIST AN EVIL MAN IN HIS SHENANIGANS OR BE MANIPULATED BY OTHERS WHO FEIGN DISTRESS TO GAIN SOMETHING FROM HIM.
WHEN YOU HELP SOMEONE WITH GENUINE REASON YOU MUST SEE THAT THE SOMETHING YOU DO WILL TRULY HELP OR BENEFIT THE PERSON. WHEN YOU ROBOTICALLY ATTRACTED BY LIKE TO HELP OTHERS, YOU ARE STIRRED TO HELP OTHERS WHEN YOU SEE CERTAIN SIGNS OF DISTRESS WITHOUT KNOWING THAT WHAT YOU DO WILL HELP OR HARM THE PERSON.
People are charitable for different reasons.
Some are charitable to impress others, to beat their drums how good they are.
Yet others are charitable because they like to be charitable, their mental forces are stirred attractively at the thought of charity and this is conditioning so that they increasingly like being charitable but this is not truly good because is blind and without understanding.
It is only when a person’s mental force is not stirred to be attracted or repulsed by charity, who does what is charitable fully understanding why it is meaningful is he truly with reason (not force) charitable.
ANYONE WHO RECEIVES WHATEVER IS HAPPENING WITH LIKE OR DISLIKE IS LIVING DANGEROUSLY BECAUSE HE IS NOT DEALING WITH GENUINE UNDERSTANDING REASON WHAT IS HAPPENING BUT MERELY ATTRACTED AND REPULSED BY FORCE WHICH IS BLIND AND WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING AND THOUGH HE MAY LARGELY ESCAPE DANGER, ONE DAY HE WILL FALL VICTIM FOR HIS FOLLY OF LIKING OR DISLIKING WITH FORCE WHAT IS HAPPENING WHEN HE SHOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING TO USE REASON TO DEAL WITH IT SPECIFICALLY.
The key to suspense:
In order to fabricate suspense, you must hold back or delay and build up what you want to say.
Without delaying or holding back and slowly building up what you want to say you cannot be suspenseful.
Thus suspense is according a plan that requires force to prolong and the person who is thrilled by suspense, who like to fabricate suspense likes to use force to prolong that leads to sadness thence depression.
SUSPENSE IS NEVER NATURAL BUT A FABRICATION THAT IS ACCORDING TO A PLAN THAT VARIES FROM INDIVIDUAL TO INDIVIDUAL BUT ALWAYS INVOLVES DELAYING OR PROLONGING AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AND BUILDING UP BIT BY BIT AND THE USE OF FORCE AND FALSE REASON NOT GENUINE REASON.
Just copy or fabricate, memorize well and render:
There are two mutually exclusive ways of conducting oneself.
One is to copy what one wants to say or do from others, memorize it well with repeated practice and then regurgitate it again and again from memory, fabricate oneself, memorize it well with repeated practice and then regurgitate it again and again from memory.
If you copy or fabricate to then memorize and regurgitate, it is impersonal or insincere, what you said or did is not specific for the occasion but a ploy to get along, to get what you want, it cannot fit the situation perfectly because it is an approximation designed for many similar situations and you do not need any genuine reason at all, you just press the select button (often the jukebox will do it for you automatically after many repeats) and then supply power even massive amounts of power to drive through what you want to say or do that is pre-recorded.
Another way that is mutually exclusive is to personally attentively fabricate fresh what you want to say or do for an occasion that has arisen based on the facts of the occasion that you have seen and understood. Such a person’s speech and actions are truly sincere and genuine because it was specifically composed for that occasion only and he cannot be a hypocrite. It is not blind and throughout the process it is guided by genuine reason with minimal sufficient force that means no stretched syllables, changed speed or loudness that if it is to be consistent (as it is with stylish people) requires a process of memorization and automatic rehash from memorization.
THUS BECAUSE EACH STYLISH PERSON HAS A CONSISTENT BRAND OF STYLE OF HOW HE STRETCHES SYLLABLES, CHANGES SPEED AND LOUDNESS, HE IS A ROBOT, A HYPOCRITE WHO MERELY COPIED OR FABRICATED WHAT HE SAID OR DID ONCE IN THE DISTANT PAST AND IS NOW MINDLESSLY, MECHANICALLY DISHING OUT WHAT HE SAID OR DID BY MERELY ACTIVATING THAT PARTICULAR SPEECH OR DEED AND THEN SUPPLYING FORCE EVEN TREMENDOUS FORCE AND DETERMINATION TO RAM IT THROUGH TO COMPLETION.
You’re a cheat:
No matter how you deny it or cannot see you are rehashing, anyone who is a robot is a cheat, a dishonest person who is merely mechanically reproducing what is standard, pre-recorded for the occasion, he never means what he says or says what he means.
It is never a pleasure to be a parrot as it is made up to be but stressful and generates even severe mind warping conflict and there must be a mad streak in all actors.
Anyone with style or constant stretching of syllables, changes of speed and loudness, unless it is inconsistent (sometimes he speaks like Elvis, sometimes like Marlon Brando, sometimes like Bush etc), if it is consistent, fully recognizable each time as this way of speaking belongs to so and so, is a impersonal rehasher and cheat.
Cheating is never the way to heaven but perdition even hell.
THUS IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND DO NOT KNOW IT, YOU ARE A FOOL WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE DOES AND THERE IS NO HOPE FOR YOU.
IF YOU DO SO AND YOU ARE AWARE, THEN YOU ARE A CHEAT IMPERSONALLY, MECHANICALLY RENDERING WHAT YOU SAY OR DO BY ROTE. THUS WHEN THEY ARE MAKING ‘LOVE’ THEY ARE ALSO REHASHING IMPERSONALLY BY ROTE AND THEIR ACT IS A MECHANICAL ONE THAT IS A REPETITION OF PAST ACTS, NO MATTER HOW THEY INSIST IT IS FULL OF LOVE.
When you sing you are rehashing:
Whenever a person sings, he is always rehashing because the plan of the song (its lyrics and notes) are fixed and all you do is dish it out based on recalling a recording of that song in your head.
JUST AS YOU DO NOT REALIZE YOU ARE MERELY MECHANICALLY REHASHING WHEN YOU SING, IN THE SAME WAY, YOU SOMNOLENTLY DO NOT REALIZE YOU ARE ALWAYS REHASHING WHENEVER YOU SPEAK OR DO THINGS.
WHETHER A PERSON IS REHASHING OR SPEAK FRESH SPECIFIC FOR THE OCCASION CAN BE KNOWN OBJECTIVELY IF NOT BY YOU THEN BY THOSE WHO ARE DISCERNING, WHO SEE THINGS CLEARLY AS THEY TRULY ARE AND IT IS NEVER A PLEASURE TO BE A ROBOT BUT IT IS TORMENTING EVEN TO HOMICIDAL, SUICIDAL LEVELS.
You’re lazy:
Anyone who is rehashing to face demands of a situation is lazy because you do need to think, do not even need to select because often the mental parrot will automatically select and render for you the required speech or action.
It takes time and effort to perceive and understand relevant factors present in a situation and then fabricate live specifically for that occasion and the robot bypasses all this by lazily taking snapshots that may be inaccurate and then based on those snapshots, activate a rote sequence of speech or action that REQUIRES NO FURTHER THINKING.
Laziness is not a virtue but a hindrance:
Laziness is never a virtue but bad conduct that is cultivated by lazily taking snapshots and lazily rehashing what does not need further thinking.
Laziness (sloth) is one of five hindrances that the Buddha said bind people in this world of suffering and prevents the arising of wisdom.
THUS ANYONE WHO IS A ROBOT REHASHING LAZILY WITHOUT FURTHER EFFORT AND THINKING FOR THE OCCASION IS NOT ONLY PRACTICING LAZINESS BUT CONDITIONING HIMSELF TO LAZINESS THAT IS ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA A HINDRANCE THAT PREVENTS WISDOM ARISING.
Sloth (laziness) and torpor (sleeping) is one of five hindrances (the others are greed and worry regarding material affairs, ill will, restlessness and doubt and uncertainty.
People in this world including doctors encourage you to enjoy a good night’s sleep when the Buddha said sleep is the way to continued woe.
The noble person does not like to sleep, sleeps only minimally and cultivates constant alertness of his mind. His mind is not forcefully greedily alert but effortlessly guided with genuinely reason blissfully alert.
THE TORPOR THAT THE BUDDHA DESCRIBED AS BEING A HINDRANCE TOWARDS ESCAPING SUFFERING IS SIMPLY SLEEP. THE WISE DISCIPLE CULTIVATES ALERTNESS, AWARENESS IN THE PRESENT AND NOW RATHER THAN SEEK SLEEP. HE NEEDS MUCH LESS SLEEP THAN EXHAUSTED SINFUL EMOTIONAL PEOPLE. THE BUDDHA SAID HIS STATE OF REPOSE IS NOT SLEEP BUT THE FOURTH, HIGHEST STATE OF MIND IN FULL EQUANIMITY, NEITHER LIKING NOR DISLIKING, NEITHER PERCEIVING NOR NOT PERCEIVING.
Laziness & diligence:
Diligence is the opposite of laziness but there is true and false diligence.
If you work hard even with very little rest, disregarding your health to make money then that is false or harmful diligence. If what you do with great diligence eg fabricating your charming style is unnecessary or meaningless then that is false diligence that leads to insanity.
Thus true diligence is not cutting corners, doing what needs to be done properly for a particular situation that is meaningful and therefore beneficial.
Laziness is not doing what should be done or shirking one’s responsibility and cutting corners, taking the easiest way to the end without regard for its potential dangers.
YOU MAY BE DILIGENT BUT IF YOU ARE DILINGENT IN DOING THINGS THAT RESULT IN MATERIAL GAINS OR WHAT YOU DILIGENTLY PURSUE ARE USELESS AND HARMFUL THEN THAT IS FALSE EVEN MAD DILIGENCE.
LAZINESS IS NEVER SPECIFIC BUT IT IS AN ATTITUDE OF THE MIND. THE PERSON WHO IS LAZY CUT CORNERS OR NOT DO THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY ESSENTIAL. THUS MECHANICALLY REHASHING THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF WHAT ONE WANTS TO SAY OR DO WITHOUT NEED FOR THINKING IS QUINTESSSIAL LAZINESS AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT STYLISH ROBOTS ARE NOT LAZY, THEY MUST ALL BE LAZY.
Never meant for any occasion:
If what you say or do is never meant for the situation but mindlessly mechanically rehashed to be fitted into the situation it is never meant for any situation but always a fake or forgery to appear as if live specific for the occasion.
REHASHED SPEECH AND DEEDS ARE NEVER MEANT FOR A PARTICULAR SITUATION BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS FORGERIES, NEVER THE REAL THING BUT DECEPTIVE COUNTERFEITS AND SO THE PERSON WHO REHASHES LIVES IN A PRIVATE LITTLE WORLD OF DELUSIONS AND FANTASIES DETACHED FROM THE VERY REALITY HE CRAVES TO EXIST IN.
Greed versus fear:
The wild gyrations on the stock markets is an indication that market players are blind and foolish and they are driven to buy by greed and driven to sell by fear without knowing where the market is ultimately heading for.
If this is a cancer as logic says it is then this bouts of rallies and plunges will end in a net descent whilst if this is just a flu or cold then the market direction is upwards.
The markets are rallying because they think the feds will rescue them by cutting interest rates that may be poor perception. All the rate cuts in the world cannot restore a cancer stricken economy to health.
EVEN AS MARKET PLAYERS ARE FEARFUL THEY ARE GREEDY AND EVEN AS THEY ARE GREEDILY BUYING NOW, THEY ARE FEARFUL AND BECAUSE GREED AND FEAR ARE BLIND BECAUSE THEY ARE PUPPETS OF FORCE, THE MARKET GYRATIONS ARE NOT DRIVEN BY REASON BUT BY FORCE AND RATHER THAN HELPFUL, THESE VERY WILD GYRATIONS MAY DESTABILIZE THE MARKETS BECAUSE SOME PLAYERS MUST BE BADLY HIT AND THEIR COLLAPSE (WHICH MAY NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF THERE ARE NO WILD GYRATIONS) MAY IMPACT ON THE MARKET FURTHER.
As I have said earlier, rather than mankind’s brilliant stewardship or resilience in staging economic recoveries, it may be the earth that is the ultimate bailer who bails out humans after each financial mess he ends up in and the earth may no longer be able to bail out mankind because mankind’s demands are unsustainable or 30% more than the earth is able to meet.
Earth on course for eco 'crunch'
Reckless consumption comes at a high cost, the report warns |
The planet is headed for an ecological "credit crunch", according to a report issued by conservation groups.
The document contends that our demands on natural resources overreach what the Earth can sustain by almost a third.
The Living Planet Report is the work of WWF, the Zoological Society of London and the Global Footprint Network.
It says that more than three quarters of the world's population lives in countries where consumption levels are outstripping environmental renewal.
This makes them "ecological debtors", meaning that they are drawing - and often overdrawing - on the agricultural land, forests, seas and resources of other countries to sustain them.

The report concludes that the reckless consumption of "natural capital" is endangering the world's future prosperity, with clear economic impacts including high costs for food, water and energy.
"If our demands on the planet continue to increase at the same rate, by the mid-2030s we would need the equivalent of two planets to maintain our lifestyles," said WWF International director-general James Leape.
Dr Dan Barlow, head of policy at the conservation group's Scotland arm, added: "While the media headlines continue to be dominated by the economic turmoil, the world is hurtling further into an ecological credit crunch."
The countries with the biggest impact on the planet are the US and China, together accounting for some 40% of the global footprint.
The report shows the US and United Arab Emirates have the largest ecological footprint per person, while Malawi and Afghanistan have the smallest.

In the UK, the "ecological footprint" - the amount of the Earth's land and sea needed to provide the resources we use and absorb our waste - is 5.3 hectares per person.
This is more than twice the 2.1 hectares per person actually available for the global population.
The UK's national ecological footprint is the 15th biggest in the world, and is the same size as that of 33 African countries put together, WWF said.
"The events in the last few months have served to show us how it's foolish in the extreme to live beyond our means," said WWF's international president, Chief Emeka Anyaoku.
"Devastating though the financial credit crunch has been, it's nothing as compared to the ecological recession that we are facing."

He said the more than $2 trillion (£1.2 trillion) lost on stocks and shares was dwarfed by the up to $4.5 trillion worth of resources destroyed forever each year.
The report's Living Planet Index, which is an attempt to measure the health of worldwide biodiversity, showed an average decline of about 30% from 1970 to 2005 in 3,309 populations of 1,235 species.
An index for the tropics shows an average 51% decline over the same period in 1,333 populations of 585 species.
A new index for water consumption showed that for countries such as the UK, the average "water footprint" was far greater than people realised, with thousands of litres used to produce goods such as beef, sugar and cotton shirts.
"In Britain, almost two thirds [62%] of the average water footprint comes from use abroad to produce goods we consume," said Mr Leape.

Hedge funds stung by Porsche:
Hedge funds are powerful, avaricious entities in which the very rich invest to make big money and they have no conscience whatever in their relentless pursuit of maximal easy profit, even if they destroy the system in the process.
Hedge funds may be responsible for a lot of the plunging by short selling, borrowing shares to sell or even selling shares they do not have in the expectation that they will catalyze selling that make the stock cheaper so that they can buy back cheaper what they sold that they did not have earlier.
Recently they got stung by up to $20 billion because they short sold Volkswagen not realizing that Porsche was building up its stake in the firm and because nobody was selling they had to desperately push up prices in order to buy back more expensively shares they sold earlier.
HEDGE FUNDS IS A MAJOR INDUSTRY AND THEY ARE DEDICATED TO MAKING MONEY BY HOOK OR BY CROOK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE COMMON GOOD AND THEY MAY YET BRING THE WORLD’S FINANCIAL SYSTEM TO COLLAPSE.
BY MAKING HUGE BETS OFTEN WITH BORROWED MONEY ON TOP OF INVESTED MONEY, THINGS CAN GO WRONG OR SCARED INVESTORS MAY DEMAND WITHDRAWAL LEAVING THE FUNDS EXPOSED, THEY MAY BE A RECIPE FOR DISASTER.
God’s punishment?
'The credit crunch is God's punishment for our materialistic ways,' says bishop
Without consulting God, you are foolish to say that. I don’t think it is God’s punishment but it is the inevitable result of man’s folly and not God intervening to punish mankind. There is a big difference and it is not semantics.
Thus it reflects how deluded mankind is that even top religious people perceive things falsely and blame God for punishing man when it is man punishing man.
God will punish all evil doers but this is not that punishment. Eternal punishment is that punishment in which mankind's current suffering is the fruit of his own actions.
China too may be in trouble:
Quote: Betty Wang is in advertising. She says she has lost most of her life savings.
"I've invested in lots of stocks and they've lost 80 per cent of their value," she says.
"And in terms of real estate prices, I am very worried because I've got a few properties, but prices will continue to fall for the next couple of years.
"This will affect my cash flow. I'm very worried about the economy."
Why bother and yet markets soar:
Analysts were quoted as saying the Feds may cut rates .25, .5 or even 1% but why bother because it is not going to make much difference according to their calculations.
And here we have the markets soaring because of expectations.
So are the markets mad or is there an explanation?
Just as there are short sellers, there may be bulls looking for excuses to spark a rally and after absorbing the relentless pummelling, they may feel they have to show their flags, they mount a rally in which the anticipated rate cut is just an excuse and depending on the number of fools jumping in, they can spark a ‘respectable’ rally.
When selling pressures eases:
When selling pressure is heavy it would be suicidal to support even rally the market.
Thus the rally yesterday may be because the selling pressure eg from hedge funds forced to sell has subsided, then the latent bulls may sense it is time to give themselves a shout or rally and the impending rate cut is just an excuse to push prices up.
When you have collected shares at lower levels, it may be profitable to attempt to push up prices because suckers may be drawn in and you can dump to them shares you have earlier bought cheaply.
