Faked and true goodwill:



Faked and true goodwill:


There is faked fabricated emotional goodwill that is designed to stir others’ mental forces attractively for you and because it is impossible to stir everyone’s mental force attractively with what you say or do that is designed to appease them, to please them, you are embarking on a hopeless enterprise.


Even if what you say or done stirs their mental forces attractively for what you say or do or for you, it is meaningless because the stirring of mental force attractively is not only blind & meaningless, it stresses the person and you.


Genuine goodwill is not fabricated, not deliberated and the first fundamental step is not to radiate force to others by not using force to falsely unnecessarily for show stretch syllables, change speed and loudness and subsequently if what you say or do is an appropriate for the occasion then it will have goodwill.


Thus if someone antagonizes you and you are angered to raise your voice with palpable forceful stretching of syllables, changing of speed and loudness, you are radiating force and that is never goodwill but ill will, no matter how righteous you think your anger is.


TRUE GOODWILL IS NOT TO RADIATE FORCE BY USING FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE IN WHAT YOU SAY OR DO AND AS SOON AS YOU USE ADDITIONAL UNNECESSARY FORCE TO SPEAK OR DO EMOTIONALLY, YOU NO LONGER HAVE GENUINE GOODWILL BUT WHAT YOU SAY AND DO WILL HARM YOURSELF AND OTHERS.


IF YOU DO NOT USE FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE THEN WHATEVER YOU SAY OR DO WILL BE FREE OF EMOTIONAL BASED ON CALM CLEAR THINKING AND THAT WILL ALWAYS BE TO YOUR AND THE OTHER’S BENEFIT.


Anyone with style is a hypocrite:


Anyone who has style is a hypocrite because whatever avowed trueness, harmlessness and benevolence he may harbour is false because his style or the constant use of force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness harms others, poisons others no matter what he says or does.


Further his consistent style that differs from others must be rendered by rote, from memory and so he is impersonally regurgitating what is standardized for an occasion, not composing fresh specific for the occasion. What is standardized and rehashed is never sincere but impersonal and insincere and so he is a hypocrite.


ALL EMOTIONAL STYLISH PEOPLE DO NOT SAY WHAT THEY MEAN, MEAN WHAT THEY SAY AND ON TOP OF THAT THEIR CONSTANT STYLE RADIATES FORCE THAT HARMS OTHERS AND NECESSITATES THAT THEY IMPERSONALLY REHASH WHATEVER THEY SAY OR DO.


Newsweek: Who says stress is bad:


There was another headline that said stress may be good for you.


STRESS IS LIKE A NOOSE TIGHTENING AROUND YOUR NECK AND NOW BY WITHDRAWAL OR SOLACE OR DIVERSIONS YOU MAY ACHIEVE INTERMITTENT RESPITE FROM STRESS. BUT ONE DAY THE NOOSE OF STRESS MAY TIGHTEN INTENSELY AND RELENTLESSLY AROUND YOUR NECK DRIVING YOU TO HOMICIDE AND SUICIDE THEN LET ME HEAR YOU SAY ‘WHO SAYS STRESS IS BAD’.


IT REFLECTS HOW DELUDED MANKIND IS THAT MAGAZINES SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH PUBLISHING SUCH ARTICLES AND WELL EDUCATED PEOPLE HAVE FALSE PERCEPTION THAT THEY WANT TO INNOCULATE INTO OTHERS THAT STRESS MAY BE GOOD OR HEALTHY WHEN IT IS CONTROLLED TORMENT THAT IS NOT ONLY SUFFERING BUT CONDITIONING SUCH THAT WITH AGE IT BECOMES MORE EASILY AROUSED TO MORE INTENSE LEVELS THAT BECOMES HARDER TO SHAKE OFF.


THE BUDDHA SAID THAT HIS TEACHING IS ABOUT STRESS AND THE ELIMINATION OF STRESS.


THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE STRESS PERMANENTLY IS TO PAY ATTENTION TO NOT USE FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS. IF YOU DON’T ELIMINATE STRESS, STRESS WILL TIGHTEN AROUND YOU LIKE A NOOSE OR ANACONDA AND IT WILL KILL YOU MERCILESSLY.


Recognizing and understanding stress:


People from the sophisticated to the unsophisticated speak about stress which implies that they experience stress and can recognize it so that they can describe and communicate it with others.


But this does not mean they understand stress, understand exactly what is the nature of stress, how it comes about, how it disappears.


Recognizing and talking about stress does not mean one understands stress, it just a matter of perception of the sensory experiences that constitute stress, memorizing it and then recalling it to recognize that ‘I am now experiencing stress.


Although stress is an entity by itself, it does not occur in isolation but stress is always accompanied by restlessness/tension and distraction (inability to concentrate or focus on what is happening or absorb what is happening).


What is the nature of this stress that people speak of?


Whatever people perceive, think, say or do is accompanied by or driven by the force of going against self that applies excessive force on the mind and body by unnecessarily prolonging, changing speed, strength and even direction where possible. This is always countered by the force of self preservation whose resistance must be overcome in order for any act or speech that goes against self to be undertaken. The force of going against self is like the mischievous boy who goes around setting fire to all before him and the force of self preservation is like the fireman following struggling to douse off those fires that can be harmful to self.


Inevitably with constant, incessant use of force to fabricate style to impress or please others, the force of self preservation is exhausted or falters so that the force of going against self becomes increasingly ascendant to seize the mind and body in a spasm or vice of force that is painful, unpleasant and alarms the helpless being and in the normal course of event, the foolish being creating stress for himself by his acting somehow disengages himself, he retires from the social intercourse that is creating the overheating stress or the arduous work that is stressing him, he goes to sleep or secludes himself or does something more relaxing that gives him some temporary breathing space allowing his force of self preservation to reassert itself to attenuate the overactive force of going against self.


THUS STRESS IS THE CONSCIOUSNESS EXPERIENCE OF THE SEIZURE OR TENACIOUS GRIP OF THE MIND AND BODY BY THE FORCE OF GOING AGAINST AS A RESULT OF CONTINUOUS HEEDLESS USE OF THE FORCE OF GOING AGAINST SELF TO FABRICATE STYLE OR CONSTANT PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT HAS EXCEEDED THE CAPACITY OF HIS FORCE OF SELF PERSERVATION TO MODULATE OR CONTROL. STRESS NEVER STOPS INSTANTLY BUT TAKES TIME TO SLOWLY RECEDE LIKE HIGH TIDE TAKES TIME TO RECEDE AND MAY FLARE UP AGAIN IF THE STYLISH PERSON FOOLISHLY REACTIVATES ACTIVITIES THAT CREATE STRESS.


What is the cause and cure of stress?


THE CONSTANT UNNECESSARY USE OF THE FORCE OF GOING AGAINST SELF TO FABRICATE STYLE (TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE) IN THE NAME OF IMPRESSING, PLEASING, INTIMIDATING AND DOMINATING OTHERS IS THE ONLY CAUSE OF STRESS THAT IS NOT ONLY SUFFERING AND KILLING THE PERSON BY ATTRITION BUT IT IS CONDITIONING OR ADDICTIVE BECOMING MORE EASY TO ARISE TO MORE INTENSE LEVELS THAT GETS HARDER TO SHAKE OFF THAT WILL END IN TORMENT.


BECAUSE STYLE IS THE CAUSE OF STRESS, THE ABSENCE OF STYLE OR NOT USING FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS IS THE ONLY CURE, THERE IS NO OTHER CURE.


AND STRESS DOES NOT OCCUR ALONE BUT COMES WITH RESTLESSNESS/ TENSION AND DISTRACTION (CANNOT FOCUS OR ABSORB).


Wow, wow,wow leads to ow, ow, ow:


It just a matter of time, wow, wow, wow (excitement, thrill) infallibly leads to ow, ow, ow (pain).


In truth a house sold at $700,000 probably costs $200,000 to build but is inflated by profiteering, padding (too many unnecessary workers, frills, advertisements, legal work) and corrupt practices (officials demanding bribes). Thus if you paid $700,000 for a house that perhaps you should have reasonably paid $400,000, then should you default, the banks and through it, its depositors will sustain losses because with ultimate deflation the repossessed house will be worth much less than the $600,000 loan it lent.


In the same way, gold used to sell at US$30 an ounce and now it is near a $1000. The cost of mining gold has not gone up that much and it reflects profiteering (speculation and manipulation of the market) that it is so high and you will be a fool to think the current high prices cannot collapse because there is nothing intrinsically that valuable in gold.


GOLD MAY BE VALUABLE BUT IT IS NOT THAT VALUABLE AS TO COST $1000 PER OZ AND IT IS THE ADVANCED FALSE PERCEPTION OF DELUDED FOOLS TO THINK NOTHING ABOUT PAYING SO MUCH.


AND THIS IS BASICALLY THE CANCER THAT HAS AFFLICTED THE GLOBAL ECONOMY, THE MINDLESS FOOLISH RELENTLESS ASSET PRICE INFLATION OF EVERYTHING THAT IS NOW BEYOND THE ABILITY OF THE ECONOMY TO PROP UP AND ITS ULTIMATE COLLAPSE WILL LEAD TO OW, OW, OW, NO MATTER WHAT THE GOVERNMENTS TRY TO DO BY PRINTING MONEY. IT IS LIKE TRANSFUSING A DYING MAN, YOU MAY PROLONG HIS AGONY A BIT LONGER BUT IN THE END DESPITE THE TRANSFUSION HE DIES AND THE LONGER YOU PROLONG, THE MORE THE SUFFERING.


IN THE SAME WAY, ANYONE WHO SEES NOTHING WRONG WITH EXCITEMENT, THRILL, FUN IS HEADED FOR THE CLIFF OR OW, OW, OW AND WHEN HE REACHES THAT CLIFF AND HAS TO JUMP, HE WILL WEEP.


SMILING AND LAUGHTER DOES NOT LEAD TO BLISS BUT TORMENT. YOU MAY BE RIGHT OR DELUDED IF YOU THINK SMILING AND LAUGHTER LEADS TO FUTURE BLISS.


A Distraught Ms Elizabeth Wong Leaves The Country:


It may be the truth or the figment of imagination of the reporter that she is distraught.


And what is this ‘distraught’ that is spoken of?


It is a mixture of emotion that can be potent that seizes that person’s mind so that it cannot think clearly and may say & do irrational self and other harming things.


Distraught is about being agitated, hurt, sad and confused, may be with anger thrown in.


It is impossible that a calm clearly thinking person who has no style, who does not use force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness to be distraught and if you are capable of being distraught then not only is it always suffering but it is conditioning that will lead to intense distraught and insanity if you don’t de-condition yourself by paying attention to eliminate all use of force to fabricate style.


YOU MAY OR MAY NOT THINK SHE IS A GOOD PERSON BUT NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE, IF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BEING DISTRAUGHT, YOU ARE NOT INNOCENT AND IN DANGER OF CERTAIN PERDITION IN THE FUTURE. BEING DISTRAUGHT IS NOT THE WAY TO BLISS BUT MORE SORROW, EVEN ANOTHER ETERNITY.


Cleansing bad karma:


You cannot cleanse bad karma, certainly not by offering pig’s heads and boiled chicken on the altar of the Buddha and it reflects delusion that people perceive it works or who knows’, it may work.


If you have done wrong you must apologize and ask for forgiveness and if forgiveness is not given you still have to repay eg be murdered if you murdered someone.


Because bad karma cannot be escaped and must be repaid, the wise person will be circumspect in whatever he says or does.


Even the enlightened have to repay bad karma as when Mongallana the Buddha’s deputy was be beaten badly for past karma before he passed away after meeting the Buddha.


For the enlightened, the pain may be racking but he does not suffer, unlike emotional people.


Kamma Sutta: Action


A monk was sitting not far from the Blessed One, his legs crossed, his body held erect, enduring sharp, racking pains that were the result of old kamma -- mindful, alert, without suffering. The Blessed One saw him.


Then, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:


For the monk who has left all kamma behind,
shaking off the dust of the past, steady, without longing, Such*:
there's no point in telling anyone else.


 


Cleansing bad karma from a past life


THAI TAKES
By PHILIP GOLINGAI


 


Loyal followers of self-exiled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra held a Lanna-style rite for his safe return to Thailand.


TWO pig’s heads, three boiled chickens, rice, lao khao (Thai whisky), fruits, sweets and coins were placed on a table as offerings before a half-metre tall golden Buddha statue at Wat Umong, a Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai.


The Irrawaddy news magazine reported that critics have alleged that Thaksin fell from power because his karma changed as he did not hold “proper” rituals.


The Lanna-style ritual ended with Thaksin loyalists cursing his enemies after writing their names on pieces of paper which were then burnt inside a bowl, so that misfortune would befall them.


The ritual was also so that Thaksin could overcome his present life’s misfortunes and return safely to Thailand.


Cultivating mad logic:


Quote: At least in my part of North London, it has certainly been a colder winter than we've been used to (I'll not call it "bad weather", because the sight on our first white morning of two youngsters building what was presumably the first snowman of their young lives was far too uplifting for that description).


Comment: Just because your sons are making the first snowmen of their young lives does not make bad weather good but bad or adverse weather is adverse because it causes disruptions or chaos and so he does not realize he is courting false logic in thinking so, even if it is frivolously because he is conditioning himself to reason falsely.


WEATHER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXTREME AND DESTRUCTIVE OR MILD BUT IT IS NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD AND IT IS CERTAINLY NOT ‘NOT BAD’ BECAUSE YOUR SONS ARE HAVING FUN BUILDING SNOWMEN AND YOU ARE TRAINING YOURSELF TO THINK FOOLISHLY BY ENTERTAINING SUCH THOUGHTS ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO MIMIC.


Karma cleansed by your not pig’s head on plate:


It reflects the depth of delusion of sinful people that they think they can cleanse their bad karma by offering the pig’s head on a plate. Not only is his karma not cleansed but he is creating fresh karma by sacrificing the pig.


YOU TRULY CLEANSE YOUR KARMA WHEN YOUR HEAD IS ON THE PLATE.


BY SACRIFICING A PIG, YOU ARE CREATING FRESH KARMA SACRIFICING A PIG.


The difference between pleased and pride:


Badawi is said to be proud of judiciary reforms he instigated whilst God is said to have said about Jesus: This is my Son whom I am well pleased.


When one’s mental force of going against self is foolishly stirred attractively to oneself and things that one identifies with, one is said to be experiencing pride.


When God said He is well pleased with His Son, He may be referring to the feeling of extreme pleasantness that is force free with regard to perception of His Son.


The Buddha said that whatever happens or impinges on a being’s consciousness can be pleasant (sweet taste of sugar), unpleasant (bitter taste) or neither pleasant nor unpleasant (paper tastes neither pleasant nor unpleasant) and so God’s well pleased may be a passive, force free sensation of pleasantness whilst foolish humans unnecessarily, meaninglessly and harmful get their mental forces stirred attractively by what they experience as pleasant.


If Badawi thinks his judiciary reforms are meaningful when it may be bringing out the same old model with some cosmetic makeup then he has false perception that will end in his madness.


NOTHING MUCH HAS CHANGED, THE JUDICIARY IS STILL VERY MUCH BEHOLDEN TO THE GOVERNMENT, BADAWI MAY BE CLUTCHING AT STRAWS, TRYING TO FIND ACHIEVEMENTS THAT ARE FEW IN HIS TENURE, IF HE TRULY BELIEVED JUDICIARY REFORMS ARE SIGNIFICANT WHEN IT IS JUST RETOUCHING THE OLD MODEL, HE IS DELUDED AND HEADED FOR INSANITY.


IT REFLECTS HE IS A FOOL TO THINK NOTHING EVEN GOOD ABOUT BEING PROUD OF HIS REFORMS WHEN IT IS JUST A HARMFUL, BLIND ATTRACTIVE STIRRING OF HIS MENTAL FORCE AT THE PERCEPTION OF HIS SO CALLED REFORMS.


Mad AirAsia:


Where other airlines are cancelling plane orders, Air Asia is expanding aggressively using borrowed money.


As I said before, Malaysia behaves as if it cannot add one plus one. Singapore can add 1+1 but it tries to be too clever to maximize returns. Singapore will not splurge away its savings but it will pass it on to westerners who will say thank you and splurge it away for Singaporeans.


Thailand’s economy shrank by record amounts in the last quarter and surely demand for air travel will be hit and Air Asia thinks it can expand capacity in this climate.


SPENDING BORROWED MONEY ON BEHALF OF OTHERS (SHAREHOLDERS AND LENDING BANKS) IS EASY BUT EARNING BACK THE MONEY IS THE TOUGH PART. IT IS NOT THE EXECUTIVES WHO WILL HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE MESS AND SO THEY ARE GUNG HO NOT REALIZE THAT THE DIVINE PUNISHMENT DUE THEM IS FAR WORSE THAN WHATEVER GAINS THEY ENJOYED.


AirAsia needs RM13bil funding


By B.K. SIDHU


 


PETALING JAYA: AirAsia Bhd yesterday sealed a deal in London mandating Barclays Capital to fund the purchase of 15 new A320-200 aircraft worth nearly US$700mil (RM2.5bil) for delivery largely in 2009 despite global banks clamping down on lending.


After yesterday’s deal, AirAsia needs another RM13bil to fund 104 aircraft orders it has placed from 2010 to 2014.


It is learnt that AirAsia is also in talks with BNP Paribas to secure more funding for 14 new A320 aircraft whose deliveries are in 2010.


 


But beyond that, can it secure all the funding it needs to take delivery of all the orders it has placed?


“We are thrilled to have secured the funding. It is not easy to raise money in (current times). The fact that we are able to do it shows the confidence of the financial community in our business model as it is the worst period for the credit market.


“This financing takes care of our 2009 and part of 2010 deliveries. Getting more guarantees for 2010 will not be an issue as our model is strong and it enables us to raise the money,’’ group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes said in London yesterday evening.


He added that “this financing (via Barclays Capital) and the one (being negotiatied with BNP Paribas) will take us till end of 2010.”


“If people cannot get credit after that, i.e. in 2011, it would mean that the aviation sector will really be in difficult times.


“If by then we are not able to get credit, then we will have to cancel our aircraft orders but we hope we will not have to get to that stage. I think two years is a long time and we will cross the bridge when we get there.


Japan’s exports drop 45% and Air Asia is unfazed:


It has been declared that Japan’s exports in Jan fell more than 45%, an unprecedented drop and yet Air Asia is unfazed, going ahead with its expansion.


It is because it is not the CEO’s money that is spent that he is so gung ho.


Japan exports drop 45% to new low


Japan's exports plunged more than 45% in January compared to a year ago to hit the lowest figure ever recorded, official figures showed.


The trade deficit was worth 952.6 bn yen ($9.9bn; £6.8bn) and was the lowest figure since records began in 1979.


The demand for Japanese cars in particular dropped by 69%.


Demand for electronics and other goods has also slumped as global economies and consumer spending contract, pushing Japan deeper into recession.


Serious crisis


Japanese exports to the US, which is at the centre of the slide, fell nearly 53% in January while shipments to the European Union retracted by 47%, Japan's finance ministry said.


Japan's export-led economy had previously been thought to be immune to the worst effects of the global recession., the AFP news agency reported.


The government said last week that Japan's economy was in its most serious crisis since World War II, after it contracted annualised rate of 12.7% in the last quarter of 2008.


This was its worst performance in almost 35 years, officials said.


US President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso have agreed to work together to stimulate economic demand and fight protectionism.


The US and Japanese economies are respectively the world's largest and second-largest.


Not everyday:


Quote: It is not every day that a Wall Street bank finds itself in possession of a chunk of land 50 times the size of Manhattan, covered in pristine forest, windswept grassland and snow-capped mountains.


Comment: “Not everyday” is a stylish way of saying it is a rarity. Whether it is a rarity or not is actually irrelevant to the matter at hand but the writer is trying to impress, boast and exaggerate the importance of what has happened.


The substance of the matter is that on a certain date, Goldman Sachs, by default of a loan, became owner of a piece of land (chunk is a forceful way of putting it) and that piece of land contained forests (pristine is unnecessary, although it may be relatively unexploited, it may not be pristine as alleged), grassland (is the land always windswept and does it matter if it is windswept?) and mountains. The use of the words ‘pristine’, ‘windswept’ and snow capped is deliberately intended to stir readers’ emotions to be attracted and is a falsification to exaggerate to stir emotion.


THUS MANY PEOPLE THINK THEY WRITE THE TRUTH, MANY PEOPLE THINK THEY READ THE TRUTH BUT THEY ARE DELUDING THEMSELVES BECAUSE WHAT THEY WRITE AND READ IS NOT THE TRUTH BUT FALSIFICATIONS TO EXAGGERATE, ADDRESSED AT THEIR EMOTIONS NOT GENUINE REASON WHICH MAY BE ABSENT IN MOST, EVEN AFTER I THUS POINT OUT, THEY MAY STILL BE CLUELESS OR THINK I AM NITPICKING.
