A bad day at the office:
Quote: Manchester United have the players to bounce back from Saturday's defeat by Liverpool and although I have heard the argument that they looked tired, I think it was just a case that they had a bad day at the office.
A bad day office is not a genuine reason for the loss but it is an excuse, something said for want of something to say.
Everything has a reason or cause and there may be causes as to why Man Utd lost badly to Liverpool but if you cannot discern the reasons, then you should refrain from committing yourself, especially publicly that influences others to perceive what you postulate as true, with karma attached if it mislead others.
LOOKING AT ALL ASPECTS OF THE GAME, THERE MUST BE REASONS WHY MAN UTD LOST AND IT IS NEVER ‘A BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE’. IT MAY BE CRUCIAL MISTAKES BY CERTAIN PLAYERS, POOR STRATEGY OR GAME PLAN, ETC. A BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE IS AN EXCUSE OR FALSE REASON. IF YOU THINK IT MAY BE JUST A BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE, MAN UTD WAS IMPECCABLE, IT WAS JUST A BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE, WHATEVER THAT IS, YOU MAY BE RIGHT OR YOU HAVE ADVANCED FALSE PERCEPTION THAT WILL END IN MAD PERCEPTION.
Dr M: Zaid’s plea to Agung on Najib very stupid:
Dr M’s statement is based on emotion a proxy of force and he is attacking and exhibiting false perception that will end in insanity.
Why is he exhibiting false perception?
Zaid’s plea is never stupid but it may be wrong or unjustified and Dr M has false perception that will end in mad perception.
WHATEVER ZAID’S PLEA MAY BE, MISGUIDED OR FALSE OR WRONG, IT IS NEVER STUPID AND YOU HAVE FALSE PERCEPTION IF YOU THINK IT IS STUPID. IN HIS HASTE TO ATTACK ZAID THAT IS BASED ON FORCE NOT REASON, DR M COULD NOT RESIST DEPRECATING ZAID BY CALLING HIS PROPOSAL STUPID. YOU CAN BE STUPID TO BE DUPED BY OTHERS OR FALLING INTO OTHERS’ RUSES BUT ZAID’S PLEA IS NOT STUPID EVEN IF IT HAS NO MERITS.
When is a plea stupid?
A plea or object cannot be stupid. Only a person or being can be stupid.
If a plea or something said or done is senseless or brings the person who said it disaster (eg he is jailed or killed or sustained loss) that is totally unnecessary and serves no purpose, then the person or his plea is stupid.
In this case Dr Zaid’s plea is not stupid, it may bring him disaster if he is persecuted as a result of it but that is because of wrongful persecution, not because the plea is stupid.
DR M IS WRONG OR HAS FALSE PERCEPTION TO CALL THE PLEA STUPID BECAUSE THE PLEA IS NOT SENSELESS (SILLY) OR DOES NOT BRING UNCALLED DISASTER OR MISFORTUNE FOR DR ZAID. BECAUSE CALLING SOMEONE STUPID IS A WAY OF INSULTING HIM, HE IS USING ‘STUPID’ IN THE WRONG CONTEXT TO ATTACK ZAID AND THIS IS NEVER HARMLESS BUT HE IS HAMMERING ANOTHER NAIL INTO HIS COFFIN THAT ALREADY HAS TOO MANY NAILS TO COUNT.
Dead cat bounce or dogs having their day?
Quote: Is the recent market rally a dead cat bounce or dogs having their day?
Comment: Calling the market rally ‘a dead cat bounce’ or ‘dogs having their day’ is a style in the substance of speech, not saying something as it is that is conditioning such that increasingly the person has the urge to not call a spade a spade.
Apart from confusing others who might not know exactly what a dead cat bounce is, it is courting insanity or complications because you will have to remember what dead cat bounce means and sometimes you can remember wrongly or be confused. Often if not always people use such terms to falsely impress others with their expertise of some matter when it is all for show.
Often the motive for using such colourful terms is emotional or based on force not reason, to pour scorn on the rallies or to impress readers falsely with your expertise.
Why sin is very hard to exit:
Sin once partaken, is very hard to exit for many reasons and if the person does not exit sin, he is headed for suffering far more painful and prolonged than he ever imagined could be possible.
Sin is very hard to exit for these reasons:
1) Whatever is sinful is never based on true reason but based on false reason or according to plans that are driven by force. Because all sins are plans driven by force, they are rehashed many times and conditioning such that with each repetition the sinful person becomes increasingly conditioned to sin (eg spitting) and harder to exit sin. The more you sin, the stronger the urge to sin and the harder it gets to exit sin.
2) People not only sin (eg tell lies), they deny they sin (tell lies) and want with their will or force that you believe their sins (lies) and as a result of repetitive denial and will of what is false (lies) is true, they cannot see their sins and falsity and perceive what is false and sinful is true and good.
3) Sin is always suffering but the more they suffer as a result of their sin, the more defiant they are that they are correct in their actions, it is others who force them to be nasty (blame others for their nastiness). Defiance is a program and with each episode of defiance, the urge to defy suffering, defy fate becomes too strong for the person to turn back. THE MORE THE SINNER SUFFER, THE MORE DEFIANT HE BECOMES AND AS A RESULT HE REFUSES TO TURN.
4) This is a world that coerces and maintains falsity and sin far more extensive than people realize. What is recommended as good and true is actually false and harmful. The way people speak and do things, their smiles and soft spoken-ness is not true or good but nice (deceitful and harmful). Everywhere a being turns to he is bombarded by falsity and harmfulness masquerading as truth and goodness.
5) The sinful being is deluded, he perceives falsely what is false and harmful to self and others as true and good. Delusions are false plans based on force and because delusions are based on force that is tenacious, it is hard for others to cure the deluded person and it is even impossible for the indulgent deluded person to exit his nurtured and cherished delusions.
6) The sinful person is sustained by his attachment to sensory pleasures (sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touches) and in order to sustain his addiction to the senses he must get along well in this world to get what he wants and that means sinning, to do whatever it takes to get whatever sensory gratifications he desires.
7) The sinner is in truth a robot rehashing whatever is programmed in his mind by himself and others and he therefore lacks or has no genuine understanding. Because he has no true understanding, he is a captive of sin. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TEACH SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND.
Thus sin is very hard to exit, by nature the sinful being is foolish and driven by force, he has ill will. Few sinners will turn so that they may be healed as Jesus said.
As a reflection of how hard it is to turn, the Buddha said that there already have been many Ages, you have shed your own blood greater than the four great oceans from having your neck cut as animals and humans and yet you are here.
The only basis for disagreement:
By saying that what Dr Zaid said is stupid, Dr M is in effect disagreeing with Zaid.
There is only one basis for disagreement and that is that what the other person said is false and what you say is true. If you disagree with someone and your opinion that is contrary is also false then your disagreement is frivolous or deluded.
Thus if what Zaid said is correct, it is within the powers of the Agung to not appoint Najib as PM and there are valid moral grounds in not appointing him, then Zaid is right to appeal to the Agung not to appoint Najib and you are wrong to brand it as stupid.
The basis for Dr M’s disagreement is never reason but force, he disliked what Zaid said and probably liked Najib taking over as PM and because what Zaid said threatens what he liked, Najib taking over, he is driven to lash out and call it stupid.
THUS HERE AS IN MANY PLACES PEOPLE THINK WHAT THEY SAID AND DO IS BASED ON REASON BUT IT IS BASED ON FORCE, ON LIKE OR DISLIKE.
HAVING DIFFERING OPINIONS IS NOT A VALID REASON FOR DISAGREEING WITH ANOTHER PERSON. THE ONLY VALID REASON FOR DISAGREEMENT IS IF WHAT THE OTHER PERSON SAID IS FALSE AND WHAT YOU SAY INSTEAD IS TRUE.
Do not underestimate delusion as a bond:
Delusion should not be underestimated as a bond to sin and therefore suffering.
There are many who do not believe in goodness and that there are rewards and punishment for sin in the afterlife.
There also many who believe in goodness and rewards and punishment for evil but they are deluded, they perceive what is false, evil and harmful to self and others as true and good and as a result they unknowingly accumulate karma for themselves they think is merit and are headed for woe.
For instance, many who believe in truth and goodness perceive the soft, gentle musical anxious or eager ways they and others speak as good when it is a matter of controlled use of force that causes stress, restlessness and distraction to self and others that is therefore false or blind (whatever is based on force is blind) and harmful. Again they perceive their smiles and joking (humour) is good when it is false (truth is never a joke or funny) and harmful in stirring up mental force.
IT IS NOT THAT MANY IN THIS WORLD DO NOT BELIEVE IN TRUTH AND GOODNESS, THEY DO BUT THEY ARE DELUDED, WHAT THEY PERCEIVE AS TRUE AND GOOD (THEIR GENTLE STYLES, SMILING, HUMOUR) IS FALSE (BLIND, BASED ON FORCE) AND HARMFUL.
THUS DELUSION TOGETHER WITH DENIAL (THEY DENY OR REFUSE TO SEE THAT THEY ARE LYING OR DISHONEST) AND DEFIANCE (USE FORCE TO UPHOLD THEMSELVES DESPITE SUFFERING) FORM A POTENT ALLIANCE THAT KEEP THAT FOOLISH BEING TRAPPED IN THE LOWER REALMS.
How to obtain a lifespan of 1 to 500 eternities:
3. Pañhamananakaraõasuttaü - The first on diversity.
013.03. Bhikkhus, these four persons are evident in the world. What four?
Here, bhikkhus, a certain person secluding from sensual desires and demeritorious thoughts, with thoughts and discursive thoughts and with joy and pleasantness born of seclusion attains to the first higher state of mind. Enjoying it, longing for it, he attains prosperity in it. Keenly applying himself to it, making much of it and not decreasing from it, he dies and is born with the gods of the sphere of Brahma (God or the Father’s retinue). The life span of those gods is a forward world cycle. Finishing his complete life span there, he would either be born in hell, as a beast, or as a ghost. As for the noble disciples of The Blessed One, they would finish the complete life span there and would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and diversity between the learned noble disciple and the not learned ordinary man in their course of action, birth and conscience
Again, bhikkhus, a certain person overcoming thoughts and discursive thoughts and internally appeasing the mind making it one pointed without thoughts and discursive thoughts (an ability to exist with unified mind without thinking) and with joy and pleasantness born of concentration attains to the second higher state of mind. Enjoying it, longing for it he attains prosperity in it. Keenly applying himself to it, making much of it, not decreasing from it he dies and is born with the gods of Radiance. The life span of those gods is two forward world cycles. Finishing his complete life span there, he would either be born in hell, as a beast, or as a ghost. As for the noble disciples of The Blessed One, they would finish the complete life span there and would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and diversity between the learned noble disciple and the not learned ordinary man in their course of action, birth and conscience
Again, bhikkhus, a certain person with equanimity to joy and detachment abides mindful and aware experiencing pleasantness with the body tooòo this the noble ones say mindfull abiding in pleasantness with equanimity. He attains to this third higher state of mind. Enjoying it, longing for it he attains prosperity in it. Keenly applying himself to it, making much of it and not decreasing he dies and is born with the lustrous gods. The life span of those gods is four forward world cycles. Finishing his complete life span there, he would either be born in hell, as a beast, or as a ghost. As for the noble disciples of The Blessed One, they would finish the complete life span there and would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and diversity between the learned noble disciple and the not learned ordinary man in their course of action, birth and conscience
Again, bhikkhus, a certain person dispelling pleasantness and unpleasantness, and earlier having dispelled pleasure and displeasure without unpleasantness and pleasantness and purifying mindfulness with equanimity attains to the fourth higher state of mind. Enjoying it, longing for it he attains prosperity in it. Keenly applying himself to it, making much of it and not decreasing he dies and is born with the gods of Space. The life span of those gods is five hundred forward world cycles. Finishing his complete life span there, he would either be born in hell, as a beast, or as a ghost. As for the noble disciples of The Blessed One, they would finish the complete life span there and would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and diversity between the learned noble disciple and the not learned ordinary man in their course of action, birth and conscience
Rationalizing the Buddha’s scheme of heavenly existence:
The Buddha’s schema regarding the structure and life spans of the various formed (devas or angels) and unformed gods (brahmas) may sound complicated or ‘incredulous’ to the ignorant but it is consistent (he does not say one thing on one occasion and another thing on another occasion) and understandable (can be examined and made sense of).
There are the formed heavens with different levels of exaltation inhabited by formed angels or devas and there are the even higher realms inhabited by formless higher brahmas who nevertheless can assume forms if they wished.
Jesus said those who offered water to his disciples shall not lose their rewards and thus good deeds a person does (eg offering food to the Buddha) may confer a lifespan of thousands or even millions of years in the lower heaven ranging from the lowest four great kings, 33 gods, Titan gods, gods of happiness, gods attached to creation.
Above these lesser heavens, their access becomes dependant on the development of a person’s mind.
There are four higher states of mind described by the Buddha.
At its lowest state there is joy that is not of the flesh attended by thinking and its attainment accords that being one Age in a formed heaven as an angel in Brahma’s or the Father’s kingdom.
Achievement of the second highest state of mind that is free of all thinking accords that being two Ages in heaven.
Achievement of the third higher state of mind with pleasure and equanimity that is not totally pure accords that being 4 Ages in heavenly existence.
Achievement of the fourth highest state of mind, purity of equanimity, neither pain nor pleasure, accords that being 500 Ages in heavenly existence.
After attaining the fourth highest state of mind, if the person is able to overcome all perception of matter to enter the sphere or realm of space, he attains a lifespan of 20,000 Ages. If he is able to overcome the sphere of space and with boundless consciousness, access the sphere of consciousness, he is accorded a lifespan of 40,000 eons. Still higher, if he penetrates the sphere of nothingness, he is accorded a lifespan of 60,000 Ages.
Those who listen to the Buddha and understood what he taught will realize the ultimate meaningless and falsity of all existence and seeing dangers in the slightest faults, having extinguished all desire for further existence will go beyond, pass to nirvana.
THE BUDDHA'S DESCRIPTION OF THE HEAVENS MAY SOUND FANTASTICAL BUT IT IS CONSISTENT, HE DOES NOT CHANGE HIS TUNE OR WHAT HE SAYS AND IT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD BY THOSE WHO ARE DISCERNING.
BBC slanders the pope:
Many do not realize they already have mad perception and jump to conclusions that are not warranted that slanders others.
AS FAR AS I CAN SEE, THE POPE DID NOT CONDEMN AFRICAN CORRUPTION, HE MERELY SPOKE AGAINST AFRICAN CORRUPTION.
THE HEADLINE WRITER AND THROUGH HIM, BBC TOO IS CULPABLE IS GUILTY OF SLANDER, OF ALLEGING WRONGLY THE POPE EMOTIONALLY, ANGRILY CONDEMNED AFRICAN CORRUPTION WHEN HE MERELY EXPRESSED HIS DISAPPROVAL. IT IS CALLED JUMPING TO UNWARRANTED CONCLUSIONS THAT IS THE PATH TO INSANITY.
Pope condemns African corruption
Pope Benedict XVI has made an emphatic appeal to Africans to rid the continent of corruption once and for all.
The 81-year-old was speaking during a televised address in Angola during a week-long tour of African countries.
The Pope said that with integrity, magnanimity and compassion Africans could transform their continent.
Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has launched a similar attack, accusing many African presidents of running anti-democratic regimes.
The Pope arrived in the Angolan capital Luanda on Friday from Cameroon, on the second leg of his African tour.
The BBC's Louise Redvers, in Luanda, said thousands of people gathered at the city's airport to greet him, some waiting from the early hours.
Among the crowds many women in traditional Catholic uniforms of brightly coloured headscarves and sarongs.
The crowd began to cheer as the papal plane flew overhead but broke into a frenzy as his motorcade drove into the city, with some people breaking free at the sides of the roads to run alongside his car, our correspondent says.
The Pope said in his address that the people in Angola knew "the time of hope has arrived" for Africa and that every "decent, hopeful human behaviour" would make a difference to God and in history.
"My beloved friends, with an upright, magnanimous heart that is also compassionate, you can transform this continent, freeing the people from the whip of greed, violence, disorder and guiding it through the path of those principles that are indispensible to any modern democracy," he said.
Those principles, he said, included respect, transparent governance, freedom of the press, health care and adequate schooling as well as the promotion of human rights.
The 81-year-old pontiff said Africans needed "a firm determination to change hearts and finally put a stop, once and for all, to corruption".
He also repeated concerns raised while he was in Cameroon that modern culture was destroying traditional African family values and he criticised the spread of sexual violence and abortion.
The Pope's speech was echoed by President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, who has been Angola's leader for the past three decades and through a civil war which has left hundreds of thousands dead.
Mr dos Santos said Angolans were "looking for the best ways to rebuild what was destroyed in the recent past, and to build a modern society that will integrate all the people without discrimination or exclusion".
'Profound shame'
The Pope's comments came on the same day as Mr Annan, on a visit to Nigeria, launched a strong attack on some African leaders.
He said that it was a matter of profound shame that once elected, many African leaders come to believe that only they can be trusted to run their countries.
He accused such leaders of governing for the benefit of a ruling elite, rather than society as a whole and said that in too many African countries, human rights and the rule of law were disregarded.
Mr Annan is due to attend talks with Kenya's leaders in Geneva next week to assess the fragile power-sharing agreement which followed last year's post-election violence.
Mr Annan told Kenya's leaders their people had been shocked by the events of 2008 and were now demanding more from their politicians.
The BBC's Karen Allen says the meeting is intended to be about what lessons have been learned, but in reality it is likely to be tougher on the leaders.
No go for Ali Rastam:
“No go for Ali Rastam” is a stylish way of saying “Ali Rastam’s appeal rejected” that the person thinks is attractive or will stir readers’ mental forces. It is style in the substance of speech or a way of putting something in the name of impressing others.
He does not realize he is courting mad perception that will be fulfilled because it is far fetched that rejection of his appeal is ‘no go’.
DES KELLY: For Middlesbrough's sake, go now before it's too late, Gareth
Middlesborough is a football club languishing in the relegation zone of the Premier League.
This is a foolish man who does not realize he is heaping karma on himself telling others unnecessarily what to do. Let Gareth the manager decide for himself what to do, it is none of anyone’s business whether he decides to stay or resign.
THAT SUCH A FOOLISH MAN UNKNOWINGLY HEAPING KARMA ON HIMSELF CAN PROFFER GOOD ADVICE IS IMPOSSIBLE AND YET HE IS ACCEPTED AS A COLUMNIST IN A SUPPOSEDLY REPUTABLE NEWSPAPER.
YOU DON’T CARE YOU ARE HEAPING KARMA ON YOURSELF TELLING OTHERS WHAT TO DO BUT WHEN THE PAIN OF PAYBACK STARTS YOU WILL CERTAINLY CARE TOO LATE YOU DID NOT CARE.
They are still at it in Malaysia:
I just browsed through a sales brochure for new houses costing up to a million in KL. The sales pitch was than inflation depreciates the value of cash and you are better off putting it in property that always appreciates (ask house owners in UK and US if property always appreciates). Deferment of payment on principal is also offered so that you can elect to commit to full payment in some years down the line when the economy is anticipated to have recovered.
THEY’RE STILL TRYING TO SELL HOUSES IN MALAYSIA BASED ON THE PREMISES THAT BLR IS AT VERY LEVELS, PROPERTY ALWAYS APPRECIATES AND YOU CAN DEFER PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL TILL LATER WHEN YOU CAN AFFORD.
IN UK AND US YOU CAN MAKE A CASE THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES BUT NOW THAT THE NEWS IS OUT, IRRESPONSIBLE DEVELOPERS OUT TO SAVE THEIR OWN SKINS AND AUTHORITIES WHO DON’T SEEM TO CARE IS STILL CONDONING SUCH EXCESSES.
Whose money are they lending?
If greedy investors buy these million dollar properties, whose money are they borrowing? Not the bank’s, not the developer’s but it is the public’s money deposited in banks that Bank Negara is shirking its duties in not policing more strictly.
Supposed these properties are way overpriced, once sold, the developer pockets the money and if the buyer runs into trouble and the bank repossesses, it is left with an asset that may be worth much less than the loan it gave and that means the public’s money in the bank is lost.
THUS BANK NEGARA IS SHIRKING ITS DUTY IN ALLOWING SUCH PRACTICES LIKE DEFERMENT OF PRINCIPAL PAYMENT AND LOWERING BLR TO ENCOURAGE PURCHASE OF PROPERTIES THAT MAY BE WORTH MUCH LESS THAN THE PRICE OFFERED.
Sirul’s cautioned statement:
Sirul’s statement is detailed and is unlikely to be fabricated without basis and if what he said is true, he is a paid assassin and someone if not Razak must have paid him for it and it is likely to be Najib rather than Anwar who is implicated in a case not about consensual sodomy but murder, extermination of someone undesirable.
Sirul Azhar Statement | ||

Report No : 7380/06
Interpreter-from-to- On 19th (sic) November 2006 I was asked by the investigating officer K/ASP Tony Anak Lunggan to record the statement of a Malay inmate named Sirul Azhar Bin Haji Omar Kp RF 125591. The inmate was then brought to me and I ordered the release of his handcuffs. I then interviewed the inmate who appeared to be proficient in Malay. I also found the inmate in good health. I then read out the warning under Section 113(1)(a)(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code to the inmate as follows ;- IT IS MY RESPONSIBILTIY TO WARN YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT OBLIGED TO SAY ANYTHING OR TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. BUT WHATEVER YOU SAY WHETHER IN ANSWER TO A QUESTION OR NOT SHALL BE GIVEN AS A STATEMENT. S. Do you understand the warning that has been read and explained to you? J. Yes I understand. S. Do you have any questions about the warning? J. No. S. Do you want to give a statement? J. Yes I want to give a statement. S. What do you want to tell me? J. As a member of the Special Action Unit (UTK) on an undetermined date 5 or 6 days before the incident on 19th October 2006 while I was in my office I received a telephone call from Tuan Azilah (Azilah) the officer above me requesting that I meet him in Central market. I could not meet him at the time because I was together with Tuan Khairy as his driver. At that time, I was driving Tuan Khairy to deliver hampers in Selayanga and Batu Caves. On my way to there roughly after 12 noon I received another call from Azilah who asked me where I was and I told Azilah I may be late coming back as I was assisting an officer and I replied I would call him back after completing my duties. At around 3.00pm, after dropping off the officer at the office in Bukit Aman, Azilah telephoned me again and told me to meet him in Central Market. At about 3.15pm I met Azilah at Central Market. He instructed me to observe Malaya Hotel where the woman who was disturbing the businessman [sic] stayed. Azilah also informed me there were three women staying in a room on the 8th floor, the number of which I am unable to recollect. After that I went together with Azilah in my car, a Satria bearing registration number WEA 4717 to look for Malaya Hotel. On the way there, Azilah talked about a reward of between RM50,000 and RM100,000 if the case was settled. Azilah and I however failed to locate the hotel after circling the area many times. After failing to locate the hotel, Azilah and I returned to Central Market and while we were there, Azilah asked an artist at Central Market for directions to Malaya Hotel. The artist, who was Malay, drew a plan of the location of Malaya Hotel . After that Azilah and I walked towards Malaya Hotel. We reached Malaya Hotel at 4.00pm. When we arrived at Malaya Hotel, Azilah invited me to go to the 8th floor of the hotel. After we reached the 8th floor Azilah showed me the room that was occupied by the woman who was disturbing Razak. While on the 8th floor, Azilah asked me to "shoot to kill" all three women in the hotel room and asked that I stay in any one of the rooms on the 8th or 7th floor or any other floor with all lodging expenses borne by Azilah. I informed Azilah that I would not be able to do it because of the presence of CCTV (closed circuit television cameras). After that Azilah and I took the stairs to the 7th floor to find a suitable room to stay. After looking at the room, I found it to be unsuitable and Azilah and I returned to Central Market. Upon arriving at Central Market, Azilah ordered me to use my car and drive to Razak's residence to observe the residence. At about 4.30pm Azilah and I were driving when Azilah pointed Razak's residence to me. I then drove my car and reached a petrol station near the Puduraya area. Azilah filled the petrol tank with RM30 worth of petrol. After filling the petrol, Azilah and I drove back to Razak's residence in Damansara Heights. After observing Razak's residence, Azilah and I returned to Central Market to enable Azilah to get his car. After dropping Azilah at Central Market I went to the UTK office in Bukit Aman. After that I did not contact Azilah again. On 19th October 2006 at about 8.30pm while I was at home in Kota Damansara, Azilah contacted me via his mobile phone and asked me to go to Razak's house immediately. Azilah also mentioned there was a Chinese woman who was causing a commotion in front of Razak's house. I was ready at about 8.40pm and drove my jeep bearing registration number CAC 1883 towards Razak's house in Damansara Heights. Upon arriving in Damansara Heights, I stopped my jeep a distance away from Razak's house. After parking my jeep, I walked towards the entrance of Razak's house. When I arrived in front of Razak's house I saw Azilah together with a Malay woman in front of the house. There was a car and Azilah was outside the car and the Malay woman was inside the car. I saw a Chinese woman talking to an Indian man whom I did not recognize and also a Chinese taxi driver who was seated inside the taxi and security guards inside Razak's house. I then entered the car which was a red Proton Wira and sat in the passenger's seat. While I was seated in the car, I saw Azilah persuading the Chinese woman with the help of the Malay woman to sit in the same red Proton Wira Aeroback where I was seated. The Chinese woman entered the car and sat behind me while the Malay woman also entered the car and sat behind Azilah who was in the driver's seat. While Azilah, the Chinese woman, the Malay woman and I were seated in the car, the Chinese taxi driver came and asked for the taxi fare from the Chinese woman. Azilah gave him RM50 but the Chinese man demanded an additional RM150 because he said he had to make several trips. Azilah then gave the Chinese man RM100. After that Azilah drove the Wira car towards my jeep. Upon reaching my jeep, I alighted from the car and drove my jeep out of Damansara Heights towards Kuala Lumpur. During the journey, Azilah called and said we would have to transfer the Chinese woman to my jeep and said that we should look for a spot. When I arrived at Jalan Duta I stopped my jeep by the side of the road and got down from the jeep and I asked Azilah whether the spot was suitable to do the transfer. Azilah replied that it was not suitable and suggested Bukit Aman instead. I then went ahead to Bukit Aman followed by Azilah closely behind and arrived at Bukit Aman at about 10.00pm. Upon reaching Bukit Aman, I stopped my car at the back of the Bukit Aman officers' mess and Azilah together with the Malay woman brought the Chinese woman to my jeep. I noticed the woman was refusing to get in while being pushed into the back of my jeep. After the Chinese woman got into my jeep, Azilah entered my jeep and sat in the passenger seat. I drove out of Bukit Aman followed by the red Proton Aeroback which was driven by the Malay woman. I could no longer see the red Proton Aeroback driven by the Malay woman once we had passed the entrance to Bukit Aman. Along the journey, Azilah asked me to find a place to "shoot to kill" the Chinese woman. Before arriving at Jalan Duta I noticed the back left tyre of my jeep was punctured. I drove through the Smart Tag lane at the toll booth and stopped on the left hand side of the road to change the tyre. While I was changing the tyre, I noticed two Road Transport Department (JPJ) officers on duty but I continued to change the tyre with Azilah's help. After changing the tyre, I drove to my house in Kota Damansara to take the explosives that I had kept there. After taking the explosives I got into the jeep and drove to Sungai Buloh and Kuala Selangor before arriving at the Punchak Alam forest reserve at about 11.00pm. At the Punchak Alam forest reserve as I was bringing the jeep to a stop, I felt a pain in my stomach and got out of the jeep and relieved myself (defecated) not far away from the jeep. After I had relieved myself, I went back into the jeep and at the same time I saw Azilah outside the jeep carrying a bag containing an M5 weapon and silencer from the jeep that was located at the foot rest of the passenger seat and gave it to me ordering me to "shoot to kill" the Chinese woman who was inside the jeep. After asking for the Chinese woman's articles, the Chinese woman surrendered her jewellery. She then asked to be allowed to urinate. Azilah brought her down from the jeep and I saw the Chinese woman urinating by the side of the jeep. After urinating, she saw the weapon that I was holding. I saw that she was in a state of fear and she pleaded not to kill her and said she was expecting. At the same time, Azilah wrestled the woman to the ground and I could see that she had fallen and was in an unconscious state. I opened fire towards the left side of the woman's head. After the Chinese woman was shot, Azilah removed all her clothes and I took a black garbage bag and Azilah put all the Chinese woman's clothes into the bag. After putting all her clothes into the bag, Azilah noticed movements in the Chinese woman's arm and ordered me to fire another shot but the gun did not fire. I then emptied the weapon and loaded the gun again and fired another shot at the same area which was the left side of the woman's head. I then took a black plastic garbage bag and with Azilah's help put the bag over the Chinese woman's head to prevent blood from spilling. After that I lifted the hands of the victim while Azilah lifted the legs of the victim and we carried the victim into the woods. Azilah then carried the bag containing the explosives and handed it to me. I took the explosives and attached it to the victim's head while Azilah attached the explosives on the victim's legs up to the abdomen. Azilah then pulled the long wire towards the jeep and I altered the position of the jeep so that it faced away from the woods and drove the jeep about 15 meters from the victim. After the detonation of the explosives, I pulled the excess wire into the jeep and left the scene and headed towards Bukit Aman. Azilah and I arrived at Bukit Aman at approximately 12 midnight. At the UTK office, Azilah handed me approximately RM430. After that I had a bath and changed clothes and put the clothes that I wore during the incident together with the victim's clothes into a plastic bag. After that, I entered the jeep and drove the jeep to a rubbish container in the Bukit Aman area near a construction site. I threw some of the victim's belongings and the wire that was used to detonate the explosives together with the empty bag that contained the explosives into the container. After throwing the things, I drove the jeep out of Bukit Aman and head towards my house in Kota Damansara. I threw the victim's clothes and my own clothes along the way to my house.
I arrived at home at about 1.00am and to lay down to rest and slept. After that I did not have any contact with Azilah until I was sent back from Pakistan and was arrested. S. To whom did the MP5 weapon and silencer belong to? J. The weapon belonged to the UTK Bukit Aman and was for my use. S. What do you mean by the word "jimat"? J. Jimat means "shoot to kill". S. Are you telling the truth. J. Yes it is the truth. The statement was read back to Sirul Azhar Bin Haji Omar KPT/Paspot RF 125591. S. Do you wish to make any amendments or additions to your statement after the statement has been read to you? J. No S. Are you giving this statement voluntarily? J. Yes The recording of the statement ended on 9th November 2006 at 1635 hrs. | ||
The implication of Sirul’s statement:
It is farfetched that two specialist policemen trained to kill would kill a woman they did not know just to destroy evidence assuming that they have violated her or raped her or will take it on their initiative without being ordered to exterminate her merely on the basis of Razak’s request to patrol around the house especially when he said he instructed them not to harm her.
If it was someone else who did the murder, unless it was a VIP himself, there is no reason why the police would want to make one of their brothers become a scapegoat to be sacrificed for a murder that can be classified as unsolvable.
BECAUSE SIRUL’S STATEMENT IS TOO DETAILED AND CONSISTENT (NO GLARING CONTRADICTIONS) IT IS LIKELY TO BE TRUE AND IT RULES OUT THE FARFETCHED POSTULATION THEY UNLAWFULLY RAPED HER AND DECIDED TO DESTROY HER OR THEY TOOK IT ON THEIR OWN INITIATIVE TO EXTERMINATE HER WITHOUT INDUCEMENTS, SIRUL ADMITTED THAT HE WOULD BE REWARDED FINANCIALLY FOR THE JOB, THERE HAS TO SOMEONE WHO ORDERED THE MURDER AND SO WHY ARE THE AUTHORITIES SO HYPOCRITICALLY RELUCTANT TO PURSUE HIM OR HER WHILST THEY HOUND ANWAR OVER ALLEGED CONSENSUAL SODOMY WHEN THE POLICE SHOULD HAVE GOT THE DNA FROM SAIFUL’S RECTUM AFTER THE ALLEGED ACT TO ‘NAIL ANWAR’ FOR GOOD?
Dr M made possible for Karpal to sue sultan:
The law that permits Karpal to sue the sultan was passed despite opposition in parliament during Dr M’s time because he wanted to discredit and destroy the royals as a counterweight to his unofficial dictatorship.
Hence it is hypocritical for UMNO to charge Karpal for sedition when he was merely exercising his right under laws that UMNO had rammed through parliament despite opposition in the 1980s because it suited Dr M’s purpose then and it does not suit UMNO purpose now.
Neither pain nor pleasure:
Pain and pleasure is not to be confused with like and dislike, they are very different things.
Dislike and like is when a being’s mental force is stirred repulsively and attractively that are both useless and suffering.
Contrary to people’s false perception, pain and pleasure are not what they choose to experience or not but they are slaves who cannot help or are subject to pain or pleasure as the occasion arises.
THERE IS A STATE OF MIND THAT IS HIGHER WHEN A BEING ATTAINS THE FOURTH EXALTED STATE OF MIND WHEREIN THE PERSON DOES NOT EXPERIENCE PAIN NOR PLEASURE, FOR HIM IN THAT STATE PAIN AND PLEASURE CEASES TO EXIST AND RATHER THAN A LOSS, IT IS AN INCOMPARABLE RELEASE OF THE MIND THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE TRAPPED IN PAIN AND PLEASURE HAVE NO IDEA EXISTS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ITS INCOMPARABLE RELEASE FROM SUFFERING.
THUS THE BUDDHA TELLS YOU THAT AT THE HIGHEST STATE A MIND IS CAPABLE OF DEVELOPING, HE HAS A PURITY OF EQUANIMTY (HE NETHER LIKES NOR DISLIKES, HIS MENTAL FORCE IS NOT STIRRED ATTRACTIVELY NOR REPULSIVELY BY ANYTHING HAPPENING) PLUS HE EXPERIENCES NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE, HE DOES NOT USE FORCE TO SUPPRESS PAIN AND PLEASURE BUT HE IS EFFORTLESSLY, WITH FABIRCATING RELEASED FOR THE TORMENT NOT PLEASURE OF BEING SUBJECT TO PAIN AND PLEASURE.
THUS AT THE FOURTH HIGHEST STATE OF MIND, SOMETHING DENIED EMOTIONAL BEINGS, THE BEING EXPERIENCES PURE EQUANIMTY (NEITHER LIKING NOR DISLIKING) AND HE NO LONGER EXPERIENCES PAIN OR PLEASURE WHICH IS NOT A LOSS BUT AN INCOMPARABLE GAIN.
ONCE HE ATTAINS THIS FOURTH STATE DEPENDING ON HOW HE CAN OVERCOME PERCEPTIONS OF MATTER TO ACCESS THE SPHERE OF SPACE HE IS ACCORDED A LIFESPAN OF 20,000 EONS OR AGES OR DENARIUS AS JESUS SAID, IF HE FURTHER OVERCOMES THE PERCEPTION OF SPACE WITH BOUNDLESS CONSCIOUSNESS ACCESSES THE SPHERE OF CONSCIOUSNESS HE ATTAINS A LIFESPAN OF 40,000 EONS OR AGES. AT THE SUMMIT IS 60,000 EONS FOR THE GODS RESIDING IN THE SPHERE OS NOTHINGNESS.
The neither pain nor pleasure state the Buddha describes is not the states ordinary experiences in moments when there is obvious pain besieging their minds nor pleasures or thrills occupying them but it is a noble state of the mind that can be attained or access by those who practice meditation and have reached the height of awareness or nobility of awareness that a mind is capable.
I THINK I MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED EPISODIC NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE WHEN MY MIND BECOMES VERY STEADY WHEN I MEDITATE, IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THE BUDDHA IS TALKING ABOUT AS NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE YOU MAY BE KIDDING YOURSELF BECAUSE HE IS NOT REFERRING TO THE BRIEF EPISODES OR LULLS THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE EXPERIENCE WHEN THERE IS NO OVERT PAIN OR PLEASURE COMMANDING THEIR ATTENTION.
The difference between you and a Buddha:
When I poke you with a needle, you will experience pain but when a person who has attained the mental state of neither pain nor pleasure is poked, he feels no pain.
Similarly if I tickle you or you eat tasty food, even without liking, you experience pleasantness or pleasure but to a being who has attained the highest state of mind with neither pain nor pleasure, he does not feel pleasure and contrary to what you think it is a loss and to experience pleasure is a gain, it is the opposite, neither pain nor pleasure is a higher state of the mind to exist in.
THUS WHEN A BEING HAS ATTAINED THE STATE OF NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE, HE EXPERIENCES NO PAIN EVEN WHEN HE IS ASSAULTED, HE EXPERIENCES NO PLEASURE EVEN WHEN HE IS LAVISHED WITH EXQUISITE SENSORY STIMULATION.
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 (although he is subject to pain he is not 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.
How come I get all the insights?
I was the person who caused the world’s consciousness to change in 1977 and then in recent years after 1997 there have been further changes as a result of changes I instituted in myself and what I said.
I have shed light on what Jesus and the Buddha taught as no other man has before or even today when the field is the same for others as for me such that they should be able to come to the same insights as I have.
I have pointed out exactly what the emotions are and they can only be primarily like and dislike and secondarily sadness, hurt, confusion and fear. I have pointed out that stress (an oppressive feeling or tightness), restlessness and distraction (cannot focus, mind scattered) are the results of allowing force to act on the mind.
And today, I have taught you that equanimity (neither stirring your mind’s mental force to like or dislike) and neither pain nor pleasure (feel no pain when poked, no pleasure when feted by the senses) are the hallmarks that distinguishes a mind that has attained the fourth highest state as taught by the Buddha and depending on how a being who has attained this state is able to overcome perceptions of matter, consciousness and thence nothingness, he is accorded a lifespan of even 60,000 eons.
IF WHAT I SAY IS FLUKE THEN ALL THE FLUKES SHOULD NOT OCCUR TO ONE MAN BUT IT WILL BE SHARED BY MANY. THE FACT THAT I HAVE CONSISTENTLY COME UP WITH SO MANY INSIGHTS NEVER BEFORE STATED BY ANYONE, EVEN TODAY NO OTHER MAN CAN OR WILL SAY IT INDICATES I AM NO FLUKE, THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN MY NATURE THAT DISTINGUISHES ME FROM ALL OTHERS HERE.
Why the sphere of nothingness is higher than consciousness and space:
The Buddha said that a being who has overcome all perceptions of matter to access the sphere of space has a lifespan of 20,000 eons, a person who has overcome all perceptions of space to access the sphere of limitless consciousness achieve a lifespan of 40,000 eons and finally a person who has attained the sphere of nothingness attains a lifespan of 60,000 eons.
WHY DO THE SPHERES OF SPACE, CONSCIOUSNESS AND NOTHINGNESS AND NOT SOMETHINGS ELSE THAT ACCORD SUCH LONGEVITY?
What the Buddha said all ties in with what he said that:
From ignorance come fabrications.
From fabrications comes consciousness.
From consciousness comes name-&-form.
From name-&-form come the six sense media.
From the six sense media comes contact.
From contact comes feeling.
From feeling comes craving.
From craving comes clinging/sustenance.
From clinging/sustenance comes becoming.
From becoming comes birth.
From birth then aging & death, sorrow, distress, & despair.
Fabrications are activities of the mind and for people trapped here, these are his perceptions in sight, sound, touch, smell and taste, his thinking, his speaking and doing.
Fabrications precede consciousness because consciousness is not needed to fabricate just as a CD player or computer does not need consciousness to play a song or do tasks assigned to it and you can digest and breathe and even sleepwalk without any consciousness.
From fabrications as a requisite comes consciousness to experience and guide those fabrications and the coming of consciousness makes possible a world of name and form or objects. With the coming of a world of external objects there is need for the sense media or media through which contact may be made and these are sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. From contact comes passive feelings of pleasant, unpleasant, neither pleasant nor unpleasant, from feelings come craving (passions or like and dislike) which lead to clinging that leads to becoming thence birth, aging, death and despair.
THUS IT FOLLOWS FROM WHAT THE BUDDHA SAID THAT IF ONE CEASES TO CRAVE (ABSENCE OF PASSIONS OR LIKE OR DISLIKE OR BECOMES EQUANIMOUS) THEN WHAT IS LEFT IS PASSIVE FEELINGS (PLEASANT OR PAINFUL).
IF ONE IS ABLE TO CUT OFF CONTACT, ONE HAS THE SKILL TO CUT OFF CONTACT THEN THERE IS NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE WHAT MORE THE STIRRING OF MENTAL FORCE TO LIKE AND DISLIKE AND WHAT IS LEFT IS NAME AND FORM, THE WORLD OF INFINITUDE OF OBJECTS AND SPACE. IN THE WORLD OF THIS INFINITUDE OF OBJECTS, PERCEPTIONS OF OBJECTS WILL RESTRICT ONE’S CONSCIOUSNESS AND THUS IF THE BEING CAN OVERCOME ALL PERCEPTIONS OF OBJECTS, HE ACCESSES THE SPHERE OF INFINITE SPACE AND THAT ACCORDS THIS ACCOMPLISHED BEING A LIFESPAN OF 20,000 EONS ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA.
IT FOLLOWS FROM WHAT THE BUDDHA SAID THAT FROM CONSCIOUSNESS COMES NAME AND FORM THAT IF ONE OVERCOMES ALL PERCEPTIONS OF THE INFINITUDE OF SPACE, ONE IS LEFT WITH THE SPHERE OF THE INFINITUDE OF CONSCIOUSNESS WHOSE SKILLFUL ACCESS ACCORDS THAT BEING A LIFESPAN OF 40,000 EONS.
SIMILARLY IT FOLLOWS FROM WHAT THE BUDDHA SAID THAT FROM FABRICATIONS OR ACTIVITIES OF MIND COME CONSCIOUSNESS THAT IF A BEING OVERCOMES ALL PERCEPTIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS HE IS LEFT WITH THE SPHERE OF FABRICATIONS OR NOTHINGNESS BECAUSE ACTIVITIES HAVE NOTHINGNESS, NO THINGS IN ACTIVITY.
AND ACTIVITIES OR FABRICATIONS COME FROM IGNORANCE AND WITH THE FINAL DISPELLING OF IGNORANCE BY BEING ENLIGHTENED, THE BEING CEASES TO FABRICATE AND HE IS THUS EXTINGUISHED, NO LONGER LINKED TO THE WORLD OF BECOMING THAT LEADS TO BIRTH, DEATH AND SUFFERING.
"Now from the remainderless (not even an iota of ignorance remains) fading & cessation of ignorance comes the cessation of fabrications. From the cessation of fabrications comes the cessation of consciousness. From the cessation of consciousness comes the cessation of name-&-form. From the cessation of name-&-form comes the cessation of the six sense media. From the cessation of the six sense media comes the cessation of contact. From the cessation of contact comes the cessation of feeling. From the cessation of feeling comes the cessation of craving. From the cessation of craving comes the cessation of clinging/ sustenance. From the cessation of clinging/sustenance comes the cessation of becoming. From the cessation of becoming comes the cessation of birth. From the cessation of birth, then aging & death, sorrow, pain, distress, & despair all cease."
NIBBANA OR ENLIGHTENMENT IS THE ONLY UNCHANGING/CHANGELESS DESTINATION, WHATEVER IS CHANGING IS FALSE, ONLY NIBBANA OR THE UNCHANGING IS TRUE AND FINAL REST. THUS IN ORDER FOR THE BEING TO OBTAIN LONGER AND LONGER LIFESPANS WITH LESSER AND LESSER SUFFERING HE MUST DISSOCIATE FROM THIS WORLD WHICH MEANS AN EXTINGUISHING OF PASSIONS TO NEITHER LIKE NOR DISLIKE FOLLOWED BY EXTINGUISHING CONTACT TO EXPERIENCE NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE TO OVERCOMING ALL PERCEPTIONS OF MATTER TO ACCESS THE SPHERE OF SPACE (LIFESPAN OF 20,000 EONS), THENCE ACCESS THE SPHERE OF INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS (LIFESPAN 40,000 EONS) AND FINALLY, BEFORE ENLIGHTENMENT, THE SPHERE OF NOTHINGNESS OR JUST ACTIVITY (60,000 EONS).
ACHIEVEMENT OF THE 1ST HIGHER STATE OF MIND (PERFECTION OF VIRTUE OR UNBOUNDED GOODWILL) WITH DISCURSIVE THINKING ACCORDS THAT BEING ONE EON OR ETERNITY AS AN ANGEL IN BRAHMA’S KINGDOM, ACHIEVEMENT OF THE 2ND HIGHER STATE CHARACTERIZED BY AN ABILITY TO STOP THINKING IS REWARDED BY TWO EONS, THE THIRD HIGHER STATE WITH EQUANIMITY BUT STILL PAIN AND PLEASURE GIVES 4 EONS IN HEAVEN WHILST THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERFECT EQUANIMITY WITH NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE ACCORDS 500 EONS. IF THIS BEING SHOULD OVERCOME ALL CONSIDERATIONS OF MATTER OR OBJECTS AND ACCESS THE SPHERE OF SPACE THEN THAT IS HIGHER AND 20,000 EONS AND SO ON.
Newsweek headline: Bernard Madoff: The villain America needed:
If it is true then it would not be stated, it is precisely because it is not true but outrageous, the writer is trying to twist reality and tell you what is bad is good that he thinks he is smart to say that not realizing he is headed for insanity.
No one and therefore not America needs a villain, anymore than anyone needs a bullet in his head.
It is delusion that you need to be cheated or given a kick in the ass to wake up, etc.
THE STORY OF MADOFF MAY BE A LESSON BUT HE IS NOT THE VILLIAN ANYONE NEEDS.
IF NEWSWEEK SAW SOMETHING WRONG OR FALSE IN WHAT IS WRITTEN IT WOULD NOT HAVE PERMITTED ITS PUBLICATION AND IT REFLECTS ON NEWSWEEK AND HUMAN SOCIETY IN GENERAL THAT IT SEES NOTHING WRONG IN SUCH LOGIC AND EVEN APPROVES OF IT.
He is troubled:
This is America’s treasury secretary. He is using his facial muscles to either consciously or unconsciously express that he is troubled or upset that is a mixture of emotions, principally annoyed or irritated or anger which are all fancy names for ‘old fashioned basic’ dislike and another emotion uncertainty (his mind is disturbed or his mental force is stirring in a haphazard manner. There may be also a touch of fear or anxiety in his mind.
HE LOOKS TROUBLED THAT MAY REFLECT A STIRRING OF HIS MENTAL FORCES BEYOND HIS CONTROL OR HE MAY BE PUTTING ON A SHOW. IN THIS CASE IT IS NOT FOR SHOW BUT HE CANNOT HELP IT.
NO MATTER HOW SERIOUS THE SITUATION IS, WHAT IS THE USE OF STIRRING UP YOUR MENTAL FORCE TO BE ANGERED AND TROUBLED THAT STRESSES YOURSELF, DISTRACTS OR MAKE OUT OF FOCUS YOUR MIND THAT IS THEREFORE INIMICAL TO FINDING A SOLUTION IF IT EXISTS. IF NO SOLUTION EXISTS, ALL THE EXERTIONS OF FORCE OR STIRRING OF MENTAL FORCE TO BE DISTURBED OR ANGRY WILL NOT DO ANY GOOD.
IF THERE IS ANY SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM, ONLY CALM CLEAR THINKING MIND WILL FIND AN ANSWER AND IT IS USELESS AND COUNTER PRODUCTIVE TO STIR EMOTION THAT MAY EVEN FORM A FORMIDABLE BARRIER TO FINDING AN ANSWER EVEN WHEN IT EXISTS.
THUS HE IS A FOOL, DOING WHAT IS USELESS, HARMFUL AND INIMICAL TO FINDING A SOLUTION BY ROILING HIS MIND WITH USELESS MENTAL FORCE.
Where have all the money gone?
The US government announces a trillion dollar bank toxic asset plan and the Dow soars 400 points. You may think Wall Street knows something others do not know but they may be just as mad or madder than the rest. What is being done is printing money that dilutes everybody’s existing money and this include a concerned China who has a lot of money parked in America that is dwindling in value and will dwindle more if they pull out.
The world is said to be in a credit crunch, there is no money to lend and so where have all the money gone. Money that was previously there cannot have disappeared into thin air but it must be there in the system somewhere or is it?
Suppose you own a fish pond with 10 fishes in it and you count the fish there improperly so that you double or even triple count the fish unknowingly then you can be fooled to think you own 30 fishes when it is only 10. As simple as this error may be, it may be a major cause of the disappearance of money from the system at the moment. You have 10 million in the bank and you see another possessing and spending ten million that may be the same ten million you have and if he defaults, cannot pay back then your ten million is no longer there.
Companies like AIG guaranteed derivatives without the reserves needed should they default and so the money people think is there to back up their risky ventures was not there at all, AIG could not have fulfilled its obligations if everything turned bad.
A lot of the money in the system was never there in the first place, the share and asset bubble instantly inflated the worth of people who owned shares and properties. Just because a few houses and shares are trading at 10 times its former worth does not mean there is the money or wealth in the system to back up the current very high price for the share or property.
A LOT OF THE WEALTH IN THE SYSTEM WAS JUST HOT AIR, A MIRAGE. BECAUSE YOUR MICROSOFT SHARE IS TRADING AT $100 INSTEAD OF THE $10 YOU PAID FOR IT, YOUR HOUSE IS NOW WORTH 1 MILLION ACCORDING TO MARKET VALUE WHEN IT WAS WORTH $100,000 WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT, YOU THINK YOU ARE VERY WEALTHY INSTANTLY AND BY MULTIPLICATION, FOOLISH ECONOMISTS THINK THE ECONOMY IS NOW MANY TIMES BIGGER THAN WHAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY.
A lot of people who have binged on credit buying things like car and property are now seriously even insolubly in debt and a lot if not all the money people saved in banks or pension funds may be gone, lent to people who cannot return and so where have this money gone? The money is now in the hands of the privileged few who cannot stimulate the economy no matter how much they spend.
THUS THERE HAS BEEN A SURREPTITIOUS TRANSFER OF MONEY BY HOOK OR BY CROOK FROM THE MANY WHO MAY STILL BE UNSUSPECTING TO THE FEW WHO INCLUDE FILTHILY RICH CORPORATE TYPES LIKE BILL GATES, WALL STREET CEOS AND INVESTMENT BANKERS, POLITICIANS ON THE TAKE, DEVELOPERS WHO POCKETED THE MONEY PEOPLE PAID FOR THEIR INFLATED PROPERTIES, CROOKS AND MAFIA TYPES RUNNING CASINOS, PROSITUTION AND DRUG RACKETS SUCH THAT THERE IS NOW A SERIOUS EVEN FATAL MISMATCH WITH THE MANY IMPOVERISHED OR INDEBTED PEOPLE WHO CANNOT SPEND WITH THE PRIVILEGED WITH TOO MUCH MONEY TRAPPED IN THEM THAT THEY CANNOT SPEND ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY.
Unless you can magically reverse the economy towards the past state when your house was worth much more than today or your AIG or Citibank share worth much more than today, people who owned those houses and shares are going to feel much poorer, their paper wealth wiped out and thus they are going to spend less and struggle and be unable to repay past debts. But there was never so much money in the system in the first place. By the shenanigans of derivatives, the illusion was created that risks have been covered when they have not; assets were far more sterling than they actually were.
THUS THE ANSWER TO WHERE HAVE ALL THE MONEY GONE IS THIS:
THERE NEVER WAS THAT MUCH MONEY OR WEALTH IN THE SYSTEM. THERE WAS FAR LESS WEALTH IN THE SYSTEM ALL ALONG AND PEOPLE ARE JUST NOW WAKING FROM THE ‘DREAM’ OR FANTASY. A LOT OF IT WAS A MIRAGE CREATED BY ASSET PRICE APPRECIATION. MICROSOFT OR YOUR PROPERTY PRICE MAY HAVE INCREASED FROM $5 TO $100 AND YOU ARE A FOOL TO THINK THAT YOU AND EVERYONE OWNING MICROSOFT SHARES ARE NOW THAT MUCH RICHER WHEN IF THERE IS NOT THAT MUCH VALUE IN MICROSOFT TO BACK UP THAT VALUATION, IT IS A MIRAGE TO THINK MICROSOFT IS THAT VALUABLE AND YOU CAN SPEND AS IF YOU ARE THAT RICH.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT DURING THIS DREAM OR FANTASY, MONEY HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED BY HOOK OR BY CROOK FROM THE MANY FOOLISH WHO BORROWED TO SPEND AND BOUGHT OVER INFLATED PROPERTIES AND SHARES TO THE PRIVILEGED AVARICIOUS FEW LIKE CEOS, THUGS, POLITICIANS, HOUSING DEVELOPERS AND SHARE PEDDLERS SUCH THAT THERE IS NOW A SERIOUS EVEN CALAMITOUS MISMATCH BETWEEN THE HEAVILY INDEBTED MANY WHO CANNOT SPEND AND THE FILTHILY RICH FEW WHO CANNOT STIMULATE THE ECONOMY NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY SPEND AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO RETURN THEIR ILL GOTTEN GAINS TO THE MASSES.
Further by reckless unsustainable harvesting of nature eg overfishing, over mining, over-logging and agriculture production, mankind has been able to add new wealth to the system for which money was printed but now the earth may be flagging, close to collapse and this wealth in fishery, forestry and agriculture that went to sustain the economy may be about to run dry.
A LOT OF MONEY IN THE SYSTEM WAS NEVER THERE, IT WAS JUST PAPER WEALTH OR GAINS THAT BANKS LEND ON ITS BASIS AND PEOPLE SPENT ON ITS BASIS AND NOW THERE IS A RUDE AWAKENING THAT THE WEALTH WAS ALL MAKE BELIEF BUT NOW MANY HAVE SIGNED THEIR DEATH WARRANTS BY BORROWING SO MUCH TO BUY HOUSES THAT ARE ACTUALLY NEVER WORTH ANYWHERE CLOSE TO WHAT THEY FOOLISHLY PAID. WHATEVER MONEY THERE ACTUALLY WAS IN THE SYSTEM WHICH IS FAR LESS THAN THE PAPER WEALTH HAS BEEN TRANFERRED BY HOOK AND BY CROOK TO THE CORRUPT DECEITFUL FEW AND NOW THERE IS A SERIOUS MISMATCH BETWEEN THE MANY WHO CANNOT SPEND AND THE FEW WHO CANNOT SPEND ENOUGH TO KEEP THE ECONOMY ALIVE.
Other people’s money:
People overpaid for their houses and shares not with money they have but with borrowed money.
Bankers and financial types over-lent not with their own money but with other people’s money. If bankers were lending their own money you can be assured they will be far more cautious or judicious over who they lent to and checked their credit worthiness far more thoroughly. It is because financiers were lending other people’s money and they get commissions lending that they have been so gung ho and whilst they are furiously lending it is no surprise the economy was so robust. But no matter how much money there is in the system or bank, sooner or later it will run out and this credit crunch may be just that, we have come to the end of road, there is no more or little money for the bankers to burn as fuel to stoke the economy.
NOWADAYS EVEN WITH BAD NEWS THE DOW HARDLY FALLS BECAUSE IT IS THE FUND MANAGERS WHO ARE CALLING THE SHOTS AND PROPPING UP THE MARKET. FUND MANAGERS ARE INVESTING USING OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY AND THEY GET REWARDED IF SHARE PRICES STAY HIGH OR GAIN AND SO IS IT ANY SURPRISE THAT THEY WILL PROP UP THE MARKET WHEN IT IS NOT THEIR MONEY THAT WILL BE LOST IF THE MARKET COLLAPSED BUT FOOLISH FUND INVESTORS’ MONEY.
THUS THE MONEY PEOPLE SAVED IN BANKS AND PENSION FUNDS MAY BE LARGELY GONE, RECKLESSLY LEND BY BANKERS AND FUND MANAGERS TO PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO BORROW TO SPEND AND IN THE PROCESS BANKERS, PROPERTY DEVELOPERS, SHARE DEALERS, ETC (NOT FORGETTING CONNIVING POLITICIANS) MADE A LOT OF MONEY, SIPHONED A LOT OF MONEY OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND NOW THE PARTY MAY BE ENDING BECAUSE A LOT OF MONEY IN THE BANKS IS FINALLY GONE, PEOPLE WHO HAVE BORROWED ARE DROWNING IN DEBT AND THE FAT CATS ARE NOW OVERSTUFFED AND PRETENDING THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING OR WHERE THE MONEY HAS GONE.
The causes may be simple:
WHATEVER HAPPENS HAS CAUSES THAT CAN BE KNOWN, EVEN IF YOU AND THE REST OF HUMANITY DO NOT KNOW OR REFUSE TO ACCEPT OR ARE IN DENIAL. RATHER THAN VERY COMPLICATED, THE CAUSES OF THE CURRENT SERIOUS EVEN POTENTIALLY FATAL ECONOMIC CRISIS MAY BE VERY SIMPLE.
THERE MAY BE TWO FUNDAMENTAL CAUSES.
THE FIRST IS ASSET OR WEALTH INFLATION. THERE NEVER WAS SO MUCH WEALTH IN THE SYSTEM, A LOT OF IT (EVEN MULTIPLES OF THE ACTUAL WEALTH) WAS AN ILLUSION CREATED BY THE RELENTLESS INFLATION OF ASSET PRICES NOT WITHOUT PURPOSE BUT FOR UNRIGHTEOUS GAIN OF THE HAVES OVER THE HAVE NOTS FORCING THE HAVE NOTS TO JOIN IN TO HAVE A PIECE OF THE ACTION IN ORDER NOT TO MISS OUT THEREBY FOOLISHLY COMMITTING THEMSELVES TO BUY NOT WITH THEIR OWN MONEY BUT BORROWED MONEY ASSETS THAT ARE WAY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WHAT WOULD BE REASONABLE. THUS A LOT OF THE PREVIOUS WEALTH WAS NEVER THERE, IT WAS JUST AN ILLUSION BASED ON WHICH PEOPLE SPENT EXCESSIVELY AND LENDERS LENT USING OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY.
THE SECOND IS THE TRANSFER OF WEALTH FROM SAVERS TO BORROWERS WHO CANNOT AFFORD OR ARE POOR CREDIT RISKS SO THAT NOW PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE THEIR SAVINGS IN BANKS ETC ARE ALL GONE, LENT OUT RECKLESSLY NEVER TO RETURN. FURTHER THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF CHEATING AND EVEN DOWNRIGHT PLUNDER OF THE SYSTEM, COMPANY CEOS ARTIFICIALLY JACKED UP PROFITS AND REWARDED THEMSELVES MILLIONS. WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A BONFIRE USING SAVERS’ MONEY, THE ECONOMY BOOMS BUT SOONER OR LATER, YOU EXHAUST WHATEVER MONEY THERE IS AND THERE COMES A CRUNCH OF MEGA PROPORTIONS. IN THIS BONFIRE OF SAVERS’ MONEY, POLITICIANS, CEOS, SHARES AND PROPERTY DEALERS, BANKERS AND CRIMINALS ALL JOINED IN TO PLUNDER AND RAPE, GRAB WHATEVER THEY CAN AND AS A RESULT THE BANKS’ VAULTS ARE NOW EMPTY AND THEY MUST CREATE MONEY TO REPLACE THE MONEY UNSUSPECTING SAVERS THINK THEY STILL HAVE IN THEIR ACCOUNTS WHICH IS NOT A SOLUTION BUT CHEATING BECAUSE THE MONEY SAVERS HAVE WILL BECOME DILUTED.
The USD is at the heart of this crisis:
The status the USD as the currency of reserve and trade may be at the heart of this current financial crisis that threatens to be even fatal for all.
If there had been an independent currency that did not belong to any country that each country must use to trade with each other, then the extreme excesses committed by the US would not have come to pass.
China’s call below for an independent currency administered by IMF comes too late, after the horse has bolted or created a big mess in pooh at the barn.
The US may like to (hypocritically) say it was even a sacrifice allowing its currency to be held by other nations but it benefitted in many grossly unfair ways that it even exploited to create this current financial mess. America gained considerable unfair advantage and even exploited those advantages in having its currency used internationally for trade.
If the US had to purchase an independent currency to finance its purchases of imports, it would not have raked up record trade deficits after record deficits and it would have been forced to curtail its excessive unaffordable consumption mush earlier. America is the consumer in chief of the world and by depriving it of consumption it actually cannot afford, all this will not have come to pass.
YOU AND FOOLS THINK THEY CAN RELIE ON THE US TO SELF REGULATE, TO BE RESPONSIBLE AS THE ISSUER OF THE CURRENCY THAT IS THE CURRENCY OF TRADE IN THE WORLD BUT IT IS LIKE TRUSTING A FOX TO LOOK AFTER YOUR CHICKEN. AND THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD HAS DONE, NOT BECAUSE IT IS SO NAIVE OR INNOCENT BUT FOR VESTED MOTIVES TOO AND THE RESULT IS PREDICTABLE, AMERICA ABUSED ITS POSITION AND CREATED THIS MOTHER OF ALL FINANCIAL CRISIS.
China suggests switch from dollar
China's central bank has called for a new global reserve currency run by the International Monetary Fund to replace the US dollar.
Central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan did not explicitly mention the dollar, but said the crisis showed the dangers of relying on one currency.
With the world's largest currency reserves of $2tn, China is the biggest holder of dollar assets.
Its leaders have often complained about the dollar's volatility.
China has long been uneasy about relying on the dollar for trade and to store its reserves and recently expressed concerns that Washington's efforts to rescue the US economy could erode the value of the currency.
His speech was, unusually, published in both Chinese and English, signalling it was intended for an international audience.
"The outbreak of the crisis and its spillover to the entire world reflected the inherent vulnerabilities and systemic risks in the existing international monetary system," said Mr Zhou in an essay on the People's Bank of China website.
Mr Zhou said the primacy of the US currency in the financial system had led to increasingly frequent crises since the collapse in the early 1970s of the system of fixed exchange rates.
On Tuesday, the dollar weakened against most major currencies following the announcement of a US plan to buy up toxic debt.
'Light in tunnel'
Mr Zhou said the dollar could eventually be replaced as the world's main reserve currency by the Special Drawing Right (SDR), which was created as a unit of account by the IMF in 1969.
"The role of the SDR has not been put into full play, due to limitations on its allocation and the scope of its uses," he said.
"However, it serves as the light in the tunnel for the reform of the international monetary system."
The essay comes before the G20 summit in London on 2 April, at which reform of the international financial system is top of the agenda.
"This confirms that China intends to play fully its role of global economic and political power at the next G20 summit," said Sebastien Barbe, an analyst at French financial service firm Calyon in Hong Kong.
The US is at the heart of this financial crisis:
The US is at the heart of the world’s current financial crisis in more ways than one.
It is the use of the USD as the world’s reserve currency that allowed it to keep printing money and soaking up the world’s wealth that enable it to build such imbalances of finances.
It is the US who exported this financial alchemy called derivatives that is at the heart of the financial meltdown.
America also invented and exported many business models or practices (credit card, financing) that ruthlessly seek maximal profits at the fastest rate that may be like steroids, it feels good but there are severe side effects down the road and is not sustainable indefinitely.
WHO INVENTED CREDIT CARDS THAT PERMIT PEOPLE TO SPEND MORE THAN THEY OTHERWISE COULD? IF IT WAS NOT THE USA, THEN WHO? THE CREDIT CARD MAY BE A VERY BIG EVIL.
PEOPLE PERCEIVE THE US AS GOOD WHEN IT MAY BE THE DEVIL IN CHIEF OF THIS WORLD.
Obama pledges economic recovery:
This is a false promise that he has not right to make that he makes because he wants to falsely assure others of his powers or ability or the ability of the US to overcome the crisis.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT OBAMA CAN SEE HE CAN ENGINEER A RECOVERY BUT HE IS MAKING THE PLEDGE BASED ON EMOTION AND MOTIVES TO FALSELY REASSURE HOPING THAT THE ASSURANCE ITSELF WILL SET RECOVERY IN MOTION.
SHOULD THE PLEDGE NOT COME TRUE, YOU HAVE CREATED DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY IN YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU HAVE SAID AND PROMISED SOMETHING THAT FAILED TO OCCUR.
THERE IS NO NEED TO PLEDGE ANYTHING AT ALL, JUST GET ON WITH AND DO WHAT YOU CAN TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY BUT PEOPLE PLEDGE WITHOUT SEEING AND KNOWING WHAT THEY PLEDGE IS TRUE FOR ULTERIOR EVIL MOTIVES, TO DECEIVE OTHERS THEY ARE MORE POWERFUL AND CAPABLE THAN THEY TRULY ARE.
IF THE ECONOMY FAILS TO RECOVER THEN YOU HAVE LIED AND THERE IS PENALTY FOR THAT.
Why Obama will be punished:
Jesus said you will be judged on careless word you say and by your words you will be condemned.
You don’t speak falsely to reassure or comfort others because once what is said is discovered to be false reassurance, the person will feel deceived or hurt.
Thus unless you see and know what you say is true that you will cause an economic recovery you have no right to say that or you are speaking falsely. If you are speaking falsely there is an inescapable penalty apart from the penalty of deluding yourself that you can do something that you cannot or not sure you can accomplish.
THUS UNLESS OBAMA SEES AND KNOWS WITH CERTAINTY HE CAN ENGINEER A RECOVERY, HE HAS NO RIGHT OR JUSTIFICATION TO SAY WHAT HE SAID. BECAUSE HE HAS NO RIGHT AND HE SAYS IT, HE IS SPEAKING FALSELY WITH INESCAPABLE PENALTY FOR MISLEADING OTHERS.
Najib threatened the sultan of Perak to sack Nizar?
Quote RPK: In the beginning, the Sultan of Perak was actually not in favour of sacking Nizar. When Nizar had his audience with the Sultan, His Highness was actually quite receptive to the idea of dissolving the State Assembly so that new state elections could be held. But His Highness got cold feet after Najib visited him and reminded Tuanku that he would be jeopardising his throne if he took Pakatan Rakyat’s side in the Perak Constitutional Crisis.
Yes, that’s right. Najib threatened the Sultan and reminded His Highness that his future lies in the hands of Umno. And Najib has the gall to say that Umno is the defender of the crown. Bullshit! I know what happened. And that is why I spoke in defence of the Sultan of Perak -- and many Malaysia Today readers whacked me because of that. But I also asked Nizar to hold his ground and not back down even if it results in a Constitutional Crisis.
If this is true, it shows what kind of man Najib is and what you can expect under his rule.
Malaysia had a nationwide power failure when Dr M came into power. How does Najib compare?
Dow soars on plan Stiglitz calls robbery:
The Dow soared 500 points for a plan Stiglitz described as robbery of the American people and another said may be insufficient.
It goes to show Wall Street is mad, always jumping the gun driven by greed for gains and fear of losses.
Geithner rescue package 'robbery of the American people'
The US government plan to free beleaguered banks of up to $1 trillion (£690bn) of toxic assets will expose American taxpayers to too much risk, leading economist Joseph Stiglitz has cautioned.
The Nobel Prize-winning economist, speaking a day after the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by almost 7pc in support of the novel public-private partnership (PPIP), said that the plan is "very flawed" and "amounts to robbery of the American people."
Professor Stiglitz on Tuesday led a list of well-known economists and high-profile industry figures who have said Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's toxic asset plan may not be as successful as it first seems.
The plan involves ensuring up to $100bn of government funding is matched by private investors, with the monies combined and leveraged up, in some cases to by as much as 20:1, with the help of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), to buy pools of unwanted assets.
Professor Stiglitz, speaking at a conference in Hong Kong, said that the US government is essentially using the taxpayer to guarantee the downside risks, namely that these assets will fall further in value, while the upside risks, in terms of future profits, are being handed to private investors such as insurance companies, bond investors and private equity funds.
"Quite frankly, this amounts to robbery of the American people. I don't think it's going to work because I think there'll be a lot of anger about putting the losses so much on the shoulder of the American taxpayer."
His comments echo those of fellow Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman, who said on Monday that the plan is almost certain to fail, something which fills him "with a sense of despair."
Others to criticise the plan include former Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Arthur Levitt, and Bill Gross, of bond manager PIMCO, who has said he does not believe the plan will be enough to solve the banking crisis.
It is understood that the PPIP was only finalised after Treasury officials, led by Mr Geithner, spoke to a number of senior bankers on Wall Street, including JP Morgan Chase chairman Jamie Dimon, in the hope of getting a plan that was workable for the market, following the dismissal of Mr Geithner's earlier attempt to solve the financial crisis.
As a result, a number of major banks and bond houses are understood to have already agreed to sign up to the programme, with PIMCO and BlackRock among two investors to have raised their hands.
Others remain less convinced
“May” not “will” go down even to hell:
The Buddha said that after completing his lifespan of 40,000 eons in the sphere of consciousness a being can go down even to hell depending on what he has done previously.
If what he did previously was meritorious he may not go down to hell but continue to exist in the heavenly realms which may be what happened to the Buddha because he said he never returned to this world for many lifespans.
Quote: This was said by the Blessed One: "Monks, don't be afraid of acts of merit. This is another way of saying what is blissful, desirable, pleasing, endearing, charming -- i.e., acts of merit. I am cognizant that, having long performed meritorious deeds, I long experienced desirable, pleasing, endearing, charming results. Having developed a mind of good will for seven years, then for seven aeons of contraction & expansion I didn't return to this world. Whenever the aeon was contracting, I went to the realm of Streaming Radiance. Whenever the aeon was expanding, I reappeared in an empty Brahma-abode. There I was the Great Brahman, the Unconquered Conqueror, All-seeing, & Wielder of Power (The Buddha had been the Powerful One or Great Brahma). Then for thirty-six times I was Sakka, ruler of the gods. For many hundreds of times I was a king, a wheel-turning emperor, a righteous king of Dhamma, conqueror of the four corners of the earth, maintaining stable control over the countryside, endowed with the seven treasures* -- to say nothing of the times I was a local king. The thought occurred to me: 'Of what action of mine is this the fruit, of what action the result, that I now have such great power & might?' Then the thought occurred to me: 'This is the fruit of my three [types of] action, the result of three types of action, that I now have such great power & might: i.e., generosity, self-control, & restraint.'"
Train in acts of merit
that bring long-lasting bliss --
develop generosity, a life in tune,
a mind of good-will.
Developing these three things
that bring about bliss, the wise reappear
in a world of bliss unalloyed.
Generosity, Goodwill & Restraint:
The Buddha attributed his not returning to this world for seven eons enjoying bliss in the heavenly realms as due to three factors: his generosity, goodwill and restraint.
Generosity is giving and sharing and the Buddha said that even if it is the last bite, you should share it with someone else.
This was said by the Blessed One: "If beings knew, as I know, the results of giving & sharing, they would not eat without have given, nor would the stain of selfishness overcome their minds. Even if it were their last bite, their last mouthful, they would not eat without having shared, if there were someone to receive their gift. But because beings do not know, as I know, the results of giving & sharing, they eat without have given. The stain of selfishness overcomes their minds."
If beings knew what the Great Seer said,
how the result of sharing has such great fruit,
then, subduing the stain of selfishness
with brightened awareness,
they'd give in season to the noble ones(Thus if I am noble, a gift to me bears great fruit)
where a gift bears great fruit.
Having given food as an offering
to those worthy of offerings, many donors,
when they pass away from here,
the human state, go to heaven.
They, having gone there to heaven, rejoice,
enjoying sensual pleasures.
Unselfish, they partake of the result of sharing.
Goodwill is the absence of ill will and ill will is all about force and the use of force. Without using force, stirring mental force you cannot have ill will. Thus a man of style or like and dislike is a man of ill will because you need force to fabricate style, to prolong, change speed and strength of force that ALWAYS harms self and others.
Whatever goodwill you think you have, if you are emotional, liking and disliking (hate and anger is dislike), you have style, you are a man essentially of ill will not goodwill.
Restraint is denying yourself as Jesus said, whatever others do or desire, you deny yourself and the ultimate of denial is pure equanimity, neither liking nor disliking whatever happens and even to cut off all feeling, neither pain nor pleasure and this being of perfect equanimity and experiencing neither pain nor pleasure is headed even for 500 eons of bliss.
THUS THE WISE, FOR HIS GOOD OR FUTURE BLISS, WILL GIVE UP ALL WORLDLY PURSUITS AND FALSE FRIENDSHIPS TO CULTIVATE GENUINE GENEROSITY, GOODWILL AND RESTRAINT (DENYING YOURSELF OF ALL LIKE AND DISLIKE AND EVEN PASSIVE FEELINGS OF PLEASANT OR UNPLEASANT/PAIN).
Incredible how close the teams are:
Webber (formula one driver): It is incredible how close the teams were in testing.
IF WHAT IS SAID IS TRUE THEN IT IS TRUE, IT DOES NOT NEED BELIEF (CREDIBILITY) LET ALONE INABILITY TO BELIEVE (INCREDIBLITY). HE DOES NOT REALIZE THAT WHAT HE SAYS MAKES NO SENSE AND BECAUSE IT IS NONSENSE AND HE PERCEIVES IT AS TRUE OR UNDERSTANDABLE THAT HE WANTS TO SHARE WITH OTHERS, HE IS HEADED FOR MAD PERCEPTION. HE IS FALSIFYING (WITHOUT KNOWING) TO EXAGGERATE HOW GREAT THE SITUATION IS.
Goodwill is the highest quality for reaching heaven:
This was said by the Blessed One: "All the grounds for making merit leading to spontaneously arising (in heaven) do not equal one-sixteenth of the release of awareness through good will. Good will -- surpassing them -- shines, blazes, & dazzles.
"Just as the radiance of all the stars does not equal one-sixteenth of the radiance of the moon, as the moon -- surpassing them -- shines, blazes, & dazzles, even so, all the grounds for making merit leading to spontaneously arising in heaven do not equal one-sixteenth of the release of awareness through good will. Good will -- surpassing them -- shines, blazes, & dazzles.
"Just as in the last month of the rains, in autumn, when the sky is clear & cloudless, the sun, on ascending the sky, overpowers the space immersed in darkness, shines, blazes, & dazzles, even so, all the grounds for making merit leading to spontaneously arising in heaven do not equal one-sixteenth of the release of awareness through good will. Good will -- surpassing them -- shines, blazes, & dazzles.
"Just as in the pre-dawn darkness the morning star shines, blazes, & dazzles, even so, all the grounds for making merit leading to spontaneously arising in heaven do not equal one-sixteenth of the release of awareness through good will. Good will -- surpassing them -- shines, blazes, & dazzles."
When one develops -- mindful --
good will without limit,
fetters are worn through,
on seeing the ending of acquisitions.
If with uncorrupted mind
you feel good will for even one being,
you become skilled from that.
But a Noble One produces
a mind of sympathy for all beings,
an abundance of merit.
Kingly seers, who conquered the earth
swarming with beings,
went about making sacrifices:
the horse sacrifice, human sacrifice,
water rites, soma rites, & the "Unobstructed,"
but these don't equal one sixteenth
of a well-developed mind of good will --
as all the constellations don't,
one sixteenth of the radiance of the moon.
One who neither kills nor gets others to kill,
neither conquers, nor gets others to conquer,
with good will for all beings,
has no hostility with anyone at all.
