Attentive to & seek pain & pleasure:

 

Attentive to & seek pain & pleasure:


People in this world are kidding themselves if they think pain and pleasure are natural and unavoidable, they are attentive to and seek (sources of) pain and pleasure which is why it is not a surprise but to be expected they are bonded to this world of pain and pleasure.


The wise are not attentive to and do not seek pain and pleasure which is why they develop a mental state where there is neither pain nor pleasure and it is a much more meaningful state to exist in that confers a lifespan of even 500 eons.


NOT ONLY IS THERE PAIN AND PLEASURE IN THIS WORLD BUT FOOLISH BEINGS HERE ARE ATTENTIVE TO AND SEEK PAIN AND PLEASURE LIKE DRUG ADDICTS SEEK HEROIN WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE BONDED TO SUFFERING.


It is going to be a very expensive joke:


All joking is sinful and to joke on the job neglecting your duties in the process causing death to so many is going to very expensive far more than he is likely to realize for he may have to pay back in pain the sufferings he caused others as a result of his negligence.


Thus anyone who jokes is playing with fire and should your joking cause deaths, you may suffering as vast as an ocean in repayment because you cannot go to heaven.


ANYONE WHO PARTAKES OF JOKES OR IS FLIPPANT IN HIS DUTIES IS PUTTING HIS NECK ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK NOT JUST ONCE BUT EVEN MANY TIMES.


An air traffic controller was joking on the phone (with a female colleague) about barbecuing a dead cat minutes before a small plane collided with a tour helicopter over New York City's Hudson River, transcripts obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press show.


Nine people — three members of a Pennsylvania family in the plane and five Italian tourists and a pilot in the helicopter — died in the Aug. 8 accident.


The difference between 1930 and now:


Today’s financial crisis may be much bigger and global than the crisis in the 1930s. Then it may have been mostly a stock bubble that burst but now it is a combined stock and property bubble.


What essentially happened in the 1930s was that intrinsically worthless or much less valuable pieces of stock certificates were being sold to the gullible who wanted to get rich quick for increasingly insane prices and bankers recklessly financed such purchases by mobilizing savers’ money such that in the end most of the money was transferred to the hands of a few shrewd goats (like JP Morgan, Kennedys, Goldman Sachs) from the foolish masses, including the savings of those who did not play the market but entrusted it to irresponsible bankers.


NOT EVERYONE BECAME PAUPERS WHEN THE STOCK MARKET CRASHED IN 1930, THE SHREWD GOATS WHO SOLD, WHO TOOK THEIR MONEY OUT OF THE STOCK MARKET WERE LEFT FILTHILY RICH WHILST THOSE WHO HELD ON TO THEIR STOCKS, THOSE WHOSE MONEY IN BANKS THAT BANKERS LENT OUT WERE LEFT ‘PENNILESS’. IN THOSE OLD FASHIONED DAYS THE GOVERNMENTS LEFT IT MUCH AS IT IS, AND SO THIS SEVERE MISMATCH BETWEEN THOSE WHO NOW HELD MOST OF THE MONEY AND THE MANY WHO ARE LEFT HOLDING WORTHLESS PIECES OF STOCK PAPER MEANT THERE WAS A SEVERE FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC CRISIS.


Today, governments think they are wiser, they print money, lots of them to plug the big hole of deficit in the financial system but the government has no money, no true wealth to back up the paper they print, it is just printing paper that dilutes the wealth in the system that remains the same, only now preponderantly in the hands of the few goats who have over the course of the inflating stock and property bubbles, garnered most of the wealth.


A LOT OF THE WEALTH IN THE SYSTEM TODAY IS ACTUALLY NOT THERE, IT IS A MIRAGE THAT IS DESTINED TO VANISH INTO THIN AIR, JUST BECAUSE HOUSES SIMILAR TO YOURS IS BEING SOLD AT $1 MILLION OR YOUR MICROSOFT SHARES IS WORTH $100 NOW DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WILL GET THAT VALUE IF YOU AND EVERYONE TRIED TO DISPOSE AT THE SAME TIME. YET BASED ON THESE EXCESSIVE VALUATIONS PEOPLE BORROW MONEY AND BANKERS LEND AND SHOULD THE VALUE OF YOUR HOUSE AND SHARES FALL SIGNIFICANTLY, YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE. THE WEALTH DUE TO INFLATED SHARES AND PROPERTY PRICES WAS NEVER THERE, IT WAS AN ILLUSION AND THIS ILLUSORY WEALTH MAY BE EVEN MONSTROUS IN SIZE COMPARED TO THE TRUE WEALTH.


WHATEVER TRUE WEALTH THERE IS IN THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY TRANSFERRED FROM THE MASSES TO THE FEW SHREWD GOATS BY HOOK AND CROOK AND THE MERE PRINTING OF MONEY DOES NOT REDRESS THE PROBLEM, IT DILUTES THE WEALTH EXISTING (NOW MINUS THE VIRTUAL WEALTH OF UNREALISTIC STOCK AND PROPERTY PRICES). WHAT THE GOVERNMENTS SHOULD DO IS CONFISCATE THE WEALTH OF THESE GOATS AND RETURN IT TO THE SYSTEM BUT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN BECAUSE POLITICIANS AND THESE GOATS ARE PALS.


THUS BY PRINTING MONEY THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE, GOVERNMENTS HAVE TEMPORARILY ALLEVIATED THE CREDIT CRUNCH, HAS DILUTED THE TRUE WEALTH OF THE SYSTEM BUT THIS WILL NOT SUSTAIN THE VIRTUAL WEALTH THAT IS STILL COLLAPSING, A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL FIND THAT THE SHARES AND HOUSES THEY OWN ARE WORTH MUCH LESS IN THE FUTURE.


THUS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TODAY AND 1930 IS THAT THE FINANCIAL MESS IS MUCH BIGGER AND GLOBAL TODAY AND GOVERNMENTS TODAY ARE CHEATING BY PRINTING MONEY THAT ALTHOUGH IT WILL CUHSION THE ONGOING COLLAPSE, WILL NOT CURE THE PAINFUL DEFLATION OF ASSET PRICES THAT WILL MAKE MOST PEOPLE MUCH POORER AND THEY WILL SPEND MUCH LESS TO REPAY THEIR DEBTS WHILST THE FEW SHREWD GOATS ARE LEFT WITH MOST OF THE MONEY THEY MADE BY SELLING DURING THE BUBBLE.


Why it is even worse today:


In the 1930s you did not have an America that was living off the world issuing pieces of paper the world accepted as payment.


America has been touted as the locomotive that pulls the world economy along but this locomotive may be running on bullshit than diesel. By printing pieces of paper to pay for its purchases from the world and the foolish world stashing their money in the US, it has enabled the US to live way beyond its means and unless the world is willing to continue to export to America for pieces of worthless paper, if this were to be drastically curtailed, it means there is not this much demand for goods, America and the world cannot afford so many BMWs and Toyotas. This will mean a significant shrinking of demand once you take the glutton of America having a free lunch off the table.


IN THE 1930S YOU DID NOT HAVE AMERICA HAVING A FREE LUNCH OFF THE WORLD BUT TODAY AMERICA IS HAVING A WHOPPING FREE LUNCH OFF THE WORLD BY PRINTING MONEY TO PAY FOR ITS WORLD PURCHASES AND PEOPLE STASHING THEIR MONEY IN THE US. SHOULD THIS FREE LUNCH BE SIGNIFICANTLY TAKEN AWAY FROM THE US, THE DEMAND FOR GOODS MAY COLLAPSE FAR MORE THAN YOU THINK.


Confiscate Daim’s billions?


Daim is reported to be worth $40 billion and a lot of that wealth has been siphoned out of the country, it was said by Anwar that Daim personally flew to Switzerland with bags of USD during the 1997 crisis.


Daim is not alone and there are many who have amassed ‘mountains’ of ill gotten wealth from the country and stashed them overseas (including Chinese businessmen fearful of repossession by the government).


Such money siphoned out deprives the nation of wealth that would otherwise remain and so without repossessing this wealth, can the country revert to its past wealth?


WHILST IT MAY BE TRUE THAT THE COUNTRY CAN HEAL, IT CAN REGENERATE SOME OR ALL OF WEALTH PLUNDERED AND SIPHONED OUT, IT TAKES TIME TO REPLENISH AND THE SCALE OF THE CUMULATIVE PLUNDER MAY BE BEYOND THE REGENERATIVE CAPACITY OF THE SYSTEM. IT IS LIKE GANG RAPE, IF IT IS TOO SEVERE, THE GIRL IS LIKELY TO DIE OR LEFT SEVERELY SHATTERED.


WOULD YOU EXPECT THE RULING ELITE TO CONFISCATE DAIM’S WEALTH?


THUS WITHOUT RETURNING ALL THE PLUNDERED WEALTH, THE NATION MAY BE FINALLY REACHING A RECKONING WITH ITS DESTITUTION THAT HAS THUS FAR BEEN CONCEALED BY THE GLITZY PROPERTY DEVELOPMENTS EVERYWHERE THAT IS EVEN NOW TRANSFERRING THE WEALTH OF THE MANY TO THE FEW POLITICALLY CONNECTED DEVELOPERS WHILST THEY MILK THE PUBLIC WITH TOLLS HERE AND THERE.


Just because:


Can you stop yourself thinking at will?


I can (where I previously can’t).


Can you stop yourself liking and disliking what happens?


I can (where I previously can’t).


If you can’t and you see nothing wrong, you are a fool waiting for the slaughter.


Just because you have stopped thinking does not mean your mental force has stopped stirring to like or dislike what is happening. Mental force can continue to stir to like and dislike even when all thinking has ceased and so thinking is a lower and less fundamental state than liking and disliking.


Just because your mental force has stopped being stirred to like or dislike whatever is happening does not mean you have stopped experiencing pain and pleasure. Pain and pleasure can continue to be experienced even when all liking and disliking has ceased and so liking and disliking is a lower and less fundamental state than feeling pain and pleasure.


YOU AND EMOTIONAL PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THE FULLY CONSCIOUS CESSATION OF THINKING LET ALONE FULLY CONSCIOUS NEITHER LIKING NOR DISLIKING LET ALONE NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE.


YET IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A BEING FULLY CONSCIOUS TO GO ABOUT HIS DAILY LIFE FREE OF THINKING, FREE OF LIKE AND DISLIKE AND FREE OF PAIN AND PLEASURE AND THEY ARE PROGRESSIVE HIGHER, BLISSFUL OR EXALTED STATES OF EXISTING.


THEREFORE THE BUDDHA IS NO FAKE BUT HE POINTS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF SUFFERING.


FOR A BEING ENSLAVED TO CONSTANT MADDENING THINKING, THE ONLY WAY OUT OF HIS PLIGHT IS TO DECONDITION HIMSELF TO STOP THINKING EVEN COMPLETELY, FOR A PERSON WHO HAS STOPPED THINKING BUT IS PLAGUED BY STIRRING MENTAL FORCE TO LIKE AND DISLIKE, THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO TRAIN TO NOT STIR HIS MENTAL FORCE TO LIKE OR DISLIKE, FOR A PERSON WHO HAS ACHIEVED NO THINKING NOT LIKING AND DISLIKING, BUT IS PLAGUED BY PAIN AND PLEASURE, THE ONLY ESCAPE IS TO ATTAIN THE STATE OF MIND WHERE THERE IS NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE.


No thinking is effortless:


Genuine no thinking requires no effort, no force, with the cessation of all desire to thinking, thinking spontaneously ceases and rather than dumb blankness it is superior clarity of mind like a mind freed of all clouds to leave a clear blue sky.


Thinking is often a distraction, unrelated to the matter at hand and far from enhancing the experience, it detracts from it and so the person who has stopped thinking is not dumb but it is the person who cannot stop thinking who is dumb and a robot or slave to endless thinking.


CESSATION OF THINKING IS EFFORTLESS, WITH THE FADING OF ALL FORCE BACKING THINKING, THINKING AUTOMATICALLY STOPS AND FAR FROM DUMB, THE MIND FREED FROM THOUGHT IS LIKE THE CLEAR BLUE SKY FREED OF CLOUDS, IT IS CONSTANT THINKING THAT IS DUMB AND SUFFERING.


NO ONE CAN STOP THINKING BY USING FORCE JUST AS NO ONE CAN CAUSE SWIRLING TURBID WATER TO CLEAR. BY STOPPING THE SWIRLING OR NOT APPLYING FORCE TO THE WATER, IN TIME THE SWIRLING STOPS AND THE WATER BECOMES CLEAR OR NO THINKING EFFORTLESSLY OCCURS.


4 million UK homeowners on interest only payment:


In order to recklessly encourage home ownership and to escape default, 4 million UK homeowners are on interest only payment meaning they only pay the interest on their loans without paying for the principal.


This cannot go on forever and so it is that the time is coming when they have to start paying the principal or cash strapped banks are pushing them to do so and it is likely many will be unable to pay the principal on top of the interest (that may itself be set higher) and so another wave of default is likely.


FOUR MILLION IS A LOT OF HOMEOWNERS ON INTEREST ONLY REPAYMENT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AND IS THE REASON WHY THE HOUSING BOOM WAS SO ROBUST, LASTED SO LONG. BUT NOW THERE IS A RECKONING WHEN THESE FOOLISH BORROWERS ARE FACED WITH PAYING FOR THE PRINCIPAL AS WELL.


 


US interest-only mortgages


(It is reckless for authorities to permit house buyers to buy houses without down payment, with interest only payment for 5 to 10 years on the presumption that borrowers will earn more then and prices will appreciate more by then. It is by such monumental folly that such difficulties today has come to pass and yet they think things will rapidly recover when all these interest only mortgages may be near conversion to principal and interest that people losing their jobs will not be able to finance and therefore lapse into default)


In the United States, a five- or ten-year interest-only period is typical. After this time, the principal balance is amortized for the remaining term. In other words, if a borrower had a thirty-year mortgage loan and the first ten years were interest only, at the end of the first ten years, the principal balance would be amortized for the remaining period of twenty years. The practical result is that the early payments (in the interest-only period) are substantially lower than the later payments. This gives the borrower more flexibility because he is not forced to make payments towards principal. Indeed, it also enables a borrower who expects to increase his salary substantially over the course of the loan to borrow more than he would have otherwise been able to afford, or investors to generate cashflow when they might not otherwise be able to. During the interest-only years of the mortgage, the loan balance will not decrease unless the borrower makes additional payments towards principal. Under a conventional amortizing mortgage, the portion of a payment that represents principal is very small in the early years (the same period of time that would be interest-only).


Why people cannot stop thinking:


People cannot stop thinking because they are deluded, they are enamoured with thinking and think it is wonderful when it is a curse and there is constant added force prolonging, changing speed and strength in their thinking that has momentum that keeps thinking going on and on until exhausted they fall into sleep.


Without first eliminating the force from their thinking by stopping using force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness of their thinking it is impossible for them to stop thinking and they do not know what they are missing in terms of freedom from suffering and even 2 eternities in heaven.


Think more see less, see less think more:


The more a person thinks, the less he sees because thinking is never needed to see, never enhances but detracts from what he is seeing and by simultaneously thinking as he sees, he sees less and therefore has to think more to make up for what he missed whilst thinking and the more he thinks, the more he misses and needs to think that further reduces what he sees in a vicious circle that ends in deeper confusion and torment.


The more a person sees, the less he need to think because thinking is never needed to see, never enhances but detracts from what he is seeing and by not simultaneously thinking as he sees, he sees more or everything and therefore he does not need to think to make up for what he did not miss because he was not thinking but concentrated on seeing. Because he is not greedy, he does not need to speculate on what he cannot see, he is not interested in manipulating others, he does not need to think to plan what to say or do that will impress or please others to get what he wants.


The truth is not that thinking is good or has good and bad qualities but thinking is totally bad compared to ‘no thinking’, otherwise how can no thinking confer 2 eons in heaven compared to 1 in meritorious thinking?


Thinking is based on greed and falsity to speculate and program what you should say or do when faced with such and such or to get what you want.


Thinking is based on greed because the foolish thinker wants to speculate on what he did not see, cannot see and no matter how much he thinks or speculate, he still cannot and did not see and it is irrational greed or urge to know that drives him to think, not genuine understanding which will tell him that no matter how much he thinks, he still did not see, cannot see what he did not, cannot see. The other main purpose of thinking is to program beforehand what to say or do in which you are training yourself to be a robot.


WHILST THINKING CAN DEGENERATE TO BECOME FRIVOLOUS OR SILLY TALKING AND ARGUING WITH YOURSELF OR FANTASIZING, IMAGINING EG YOURSELF AS A RICH MAN OR WITH A CERTAIN DESIRABLE ACTRESS, IT SERVES TWO PRIME PURPOSES.


FIRST IT IS TO SPECULATE ON WHAT YOU DID NOT SEE OR CANNOT SEE BECAUSE YOU ARE DESIROUS (URGE BASED ON FORCE NOT REASON) OF ‘KNOWING’ WHAT YOU DID NOT SEE OR CANNOT SEE AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU THINK OR SPECULATE YOU CAN NEVER KNOW.


THE SECOND PURPOSE OF THINKING IS TO REHEARSE AND PLAN WHAT AND HOW TO SAY OR DO SOMETHING SO AS TO OBTAIN YOUR OBJECTIVE (EG PLAN WHAT TO SAY TO THE INCOME TAX MAN WHEN QUESTIONED) IN WHICH YOU ARE PROGRAMMING YOURSELF TO BECOME A ROBOT THAT YOU DO NOT REALIZE INCREASINGLY CONSIGNS YOU TO REGURGITATING WHAT YOU PLANNED OR THOUGHT BEFORE AND IT IS TORMENTING EXISTING AS A ROBOT.


YOU DON’T NEED TO THINK TO KNOW, ALL YOU NEED IS TO SEE TO KNOW AND IF YOU DID NOT SEE, ALL THE THINKING WILL NOT MAKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID NOT SEE.


The Buddha said fully conscious not thinking even when going about your daily chores is possible, is a more blissful existence and accords the consummate practitioner even two eons in heaven.


By themselves, ordinary emotional people do not even know that it is possible to exist without thinking and even after I point it out, it is likely to be academic to even those who think they are very understanding and good because they will continue to drift along (helplessly, greedily) thinking all the time.


I can attest that it is possible to go about my daily chores with extended periods wherein no thinking occupies my mind and it is an unmistakably blissful existence than constant maddening often frivolous distracting thinking that is unrelated to the task at hand.


EVEN THOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE TO STOP THINKING AND THE WAY TO DO SO IS TO STOP USING UNNECESSARY FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS WHEN SPEAKING AND THINKING, NO ONE IN THIS WORLD, IN THE PAST OR PRESENT CAN OR WILL TELL YOU THIS AND THEREFORE ANYONE WHO SPURNS ME IS SPURNING THE WAY OUT OF SUFFERING, SPURNING EVEN TWO ETERNITIES IN HEAVENLY BLISS BECAUSE NO ONE WILL TEACH YOU THIS.


Hierarchy of merit:


The person who can experience neither pain nor pleasure is higher than the person who can experience neither like nor dislike who is in turn higher than the person who can experience conscious no thinking who is in turn higher than the person who is always thinking.


Thus the person who is a slave to his thinking, who cannot help liking or disliking whatever happens to him and is subject to pain and pleasure is the lowest of the lot and he is impudent if he looks down on those who are higher than him and therefore those who scoff at the noble ones are headed for perdition.


THIS IS THE ORDER FOR EXISTENCE IN THIS WORLD THAT NO ONE CAN DISPUTE EXCEPT AT HIS PERIL IN SUFFERING. FOR A PERSON SUBJECT TO CONSTANT THINKING, HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO SEEK NON-THINKING AS AN ESCAPE FROM SUFFERING, FOR A PERSON WHO IS NOT THINKING BUT SUFFERS FROM LIKE AND DISLIKE, HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO EXIT LIKE AND DISLIKE AND FOR A PERSON WHO SUFFERS FROM PAIN AND PLEASURE, HE HAS NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE AS THE ONLY CHOICE OF ESCAPE.


NO THINKING ACCORDS TWO AGES IN HEAVEN, NEITHER LIKE NOR DISLIKE ACCORDS FOUR AGES AND NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE 500 AGES.


No one will tell you this:


Although the Buddha taught so, no one since he departed understood him, even Buddhist scholars do not understand what the Buddha clearly taught that it is possible to attain even in daily life a state of the mind with neither pain nor pleasure and it is higher than the state of mind without like or dislike which is in turn higher than the state of mind without a thought present.


Not only are these states of mind possible and they represent increasingly exalted and pleasant states of existence, they confer 2, 4 and 500 eons in heavenly existence.


No one will tell you what I pointed to you what the Buddha taught and so anyone who spurns me spurns something no one else will tell him and if it is true that what I say above is blissful existence now and leads to even many eternities in heaven, you have spurned happiness in preference for suffering.


Not only have I taught you these, I have taught you how to stop thinking by paying attention not to use force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness, I have taught you how not to like and dislike. If your mental force is not stirred attractively or repulsively by whatever is happening, you cannot be liking or disliking.


SO LONG AS A PERSON’S MENTAL FORCE IS STIRRED ATTRACTIVELY HE LIKES, IF IT IS STIRRED REPULSIVELY, HE DISLIKES AND THERE IS NO REFUTING THAT I AM NEITHER LIKING NOR DISLIKING IF MY MENTAL FORCE REMAINS UNSTIRRED BY WHATEVER HAPPENS.


Money or many eternities in heaven?


Which would you prefer, slog and scheme (suffering in the process) to make money that never satisfies you nor can you or anyone truly enjoy it or give up thinking and liking and disliking to exist for many eternities in bliss free from torment from fellow goats here?


If you are interested in making money, making a name for yourself and enjoy sensate pleasures it is impossible for you to calm your mind to stop thinking and not like and dislike in the process committing yourself to at least another eternity of weeping and gnashing your teeth.


WHAT I POINT OUT MAY NOT BE TRUE BUT IF IT IS, IT IS OF CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE AND WHOEVER IS THE COUNSELOR JESUS DESCRIBED MUST ALSO SPEAK THUS IN ORDER TO BENEFIT YOU.


Bernanke: we averted a global catastrophe


It is impossible that he sees and knows what he says is true but driven by emotion (optimism) it is said to impress or boast.


Like the phony war at the beginning of the second world war, this may be a lull before the next wave that may make him look foolish.


It is a matter of time before the commercial property market blows up as described in this article:


Delaying the moment of truth

Procrastination is not a virtue, except when it involves billions of dollars of debt.


A mantra has taken hold of lenders sitting on loan piles: amend and extend. Or as lawyers involved in negotiations between borrowers and lenders say: delay and pray.


The $6.7 trillion U.S. commercial real estate market has been a standout for such tactics and in part explains why, despite the rapid deterioration in property prices and cash flow, delinquencies and defaults so far have been relatively low.


In the smaller but once-powerful leveraged loan market, such tactics have also allowed some companies, many of whom tapped this market to finance some of the biggest leveraged buyouts this decade, to avoid default this year. That’s a good thing because rapid-fire defaults could have kept credit markets clogged for longer and the financial system on precarious footing.


But such tactics just postpone the day of reckoning. They don’t avoid it.


Amend and extend is essentially a short-term deal that allows a company to extend loan maturities that it can’t possibly pay off in the current climate, while it agrees to stiffer terms such as adopting tougher loan covenants and paying higher interest payments.


Though areas of the credit markets are cranking out new debt deals, the leveraged loan market is a shadow of its former self. Collateralized debt obligations, which had accounted for roughly 60 percent of loan demand during the years of LBO madness, have vanished, as have hedge funds that used a healthy amount of leverage to snap up this secured debt.


That has left many companies with little choice but to go back to lenders and ask for more time to pay off debt that saddled many leverage buyout targets with debt ratios well above 6 to 1 — traditionally seen as the do-or-die threshold.


The trouble is, the extensions have dumped many of these companies into the 2012 to 2014 hot zone when competition will be fiercest for refinancing dollars.


Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts have found that the bulk of loans getting a new lease on life are now slated to mature between 2012 and 2014, when 85 percent of outstanding loans are due to mature.


Yet, the leveraged loan market is unlikely to return to its former glory, given the moribund state of CLOs, so borrowers will have to find the funding elsewhere. The lucky ones this year have found some solace in the high-yield bond market, where they’ve been able to refinance about $40 billion. But there’s a wall of $545 billion of loans coming due between 2012 and 2014, according to Thomson Reuters data. It’s going to take a strong economic recovery to get investors interested in snapping up the debt that needs to be refinanced in addition to the new loans that companies will need to fuel the expansion.


“If the economic recovery is not strong and these companies can’t refinance, you’re going to see an increase in defaults,” said King Penniman, president and high-yield debt analyst at bond research shop KDP Investment Advisors.


So far, markets don’t seem too bothered by the prospect but they should be. Such an overhang could mean the excesses of the credit boom will take much longer to wring out. And the road to recovery will be much longer than investors currently believe.


Please is for show heading to madness:


People prefix their requests with ‘please’ perceiving it as full of meaning and good when it is meaningless, a form of politeness for show or exert unrighteous pressure on the other person to accede.


The Buddha never says, “Please listen carefully and I will speak”, he says, “Listen carefully and I will speak”.


HENCE IF YOU PERCEIVE YOUR ‘PLEASE’ AS MEANINGFUL AND GOOD WHEN IT IS MEANINGLESS, FOR SHOW AND EVEN TO EXERT UNFAIR PRESSURE ON OTHERS TO AGREE TO YOU, YOU HAVE FALSE PERCEPTION THAT LEADS TO MAD PERCEPTION, YOU HAVE KARMA NOT MERIT FOR SAYING ‘PLEASE’.


Why is Bernanke so bullish?


1)   His job is up for renewal and his averting a disaster would be good advertisement to those who can reappoint him.


2)   It is boasting, putting a feather in your own cap.


3)   By sounding bullish, hopefully he can provide momentum to a rally and confidence that will be self fulfilling. If a person has flu then all this psychology or moral boosting talk may appear to lead to recovery but if the person has cancer, whatever confidence boosting will not do any good.


YOU THINK HE IS AN EXPERT AND SO WHAT HE SAYS MUST BE BASED ON KNOWLEDGE BUT IT IS NOT NECESSARY THAT HE IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH AS HE SEES IT, THERE ARE VESTED INTEREST FOR HIM TO ADOPT A BULLISH STANCE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT HE SEES AND KNOWS WHAT HE SAYS IS TRUE, FOR THE SAKE OF THIS JOB AND FAME HE HAS A DESIRE TO BELIEVE HE HAS DIRECTED THE WORLD AWAY FROM DISASTER BUT IF YOU SAY SOMETHING WITHOUT SEEING, YOU ARE EMBRACING DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY AND GUILTY OF DISHONESTY.


What is pain, what is pleasure?


The Buddha said that contact through the sensory media causes feelings (not emotions) that can only be pleasant (pleasure), unpleasant (painful) or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, subsequently or immediately the foolish emotional person experiences pleasure, his mental force stirs to be attracted or like it, immediately the foolish emotional person experiences pain he stirs repulsion or dislike for it. In perverse cases, emotional people seek pain and learn to like pain as in sadomasochism.


ONLY FORCE CAN CAUSE PAIN AND PLEASURE, WITHOUT FORCE THERE CAN BE NO PAIN OR PLEASURE AND THEREFORE IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE PAIN AND PLEASURE YOU MUST EXIST IN A REALM THAT HAS FORCE. THAT REALM IS ALWAYS MENTAL, THIS WORLD TOO IS MENTAL, WHETHER THERE IS AN EXTERNAL COUNTERPART TO YOUR MENTAL PERCEPTION OF THIS WORLD CANNOT BE PROVEN. THUS IT MAY BE OR IS POSSIBLE FOR A BEING TO CALM AND CONCENTRATE HIS MIND SUCH THAT IT ENTERS A REALM WHEREIN THERE IS NO FORCE PRESENT AND BECAUSE THERE IS NO FORCE PRESENT, THERE IS NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE AND THE BEING WHO CAN EFFORTLESSLY ACCESS THIS REALM JUST LIKE A TENNIS PLAYER CAN REEL OFF ACES, HE IS HEADED FOR 500 EONS OR AGES IN HEAVENLY EXISTING ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA.


What is the difference between pain and pleasure, why should force acting in certain ways cause pleasure and in certain ways cause pain?


Whether force acting on contact causes pain or pleasure depends on the severity or intensity in speed and strength of the force rising.


If force on contact is rising gently in speed to mild to moderate strength and it is shielded by the person’s force of self preservation, a feeling of pleasure is experienced.


If force on contact is rising rapidly in speed to even intense strength and it is poorly shielded by the person’s force of self preservation, a feeling of pain is experienced.


On feeling pleasure the foolish person automatically stirs his mental force to be attracted or like but rather than enhance the pleasure, it actually detracts and leads to subsequent stress and exhaustion. On feeling pain he automatically rebels, stirs his mental force repulsively or to dislike or be angry and this enhances or magnifies his pain that may then rise to uncontrollable proportions he goes berserk.


BECAUSE FORCE IS HARMFUL AND EVIL, PAIN AND PLEASURE IS ULTIMATELY INDULGING IN WHAT IS EVIL AND HARMFUL AND SO A BEING WHO DOES NOT RELISH PAIN AND PLEASURE, WHO IGNORES AND DOES NOT SEEK PAIN AND PLEASURE IS HIGHER THAN ONE HOOKED ON PAIN AND PLEASURE AND FAR FROM INEVITABLE, THERE IS A REALM OF EXISTING IN WHICH THERE IS ABSENT FORCE WHICH THEREFORE HAS NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE AND IT IS THIS REALM THAT ACCORD THAT WISE BLISSFUL BEING EVEN 60,000 EONS OF EXISTENCE IF HE HAS OVERCOME ALL CONSIDERATIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS TO ACCESS THE REALM OF NOTHINGNESS.


Pain & pleasure is extrinsic, like and dislike intrinsic:


Pain and pleasure are due to the impingement of extrinsic force with certain patterns on contact with the person’s consciousness. When extrinsic force impinges with certain patterns it gives pleasure, with other patterns it gives pain.


Like and dislike is due to the stirring of the person’s own mental force to be attracted to or repulsed by whatever contact through the sensory media. It is an individual thing so that one person can condition himself to like one thing (eg classical music, girls) whilst another ‘absolutely’ hates it, what is liked before can reverse to hate.


THUS PAIN AND PLEASURE ARE DUE TO THE IMPINGEMENT OF EXTRINSIC FORCES OF CERTAIN PATTERNS ON A PERSON’S CONSCIOUSNESS WHILST LIKE AND DISLIKE IS DUE TO THE STIRRING OF HIS MENTAL FORCE IN AN ATTRACTIVE OR REPULSIVE MANNER ON CONTACT WITH OBJECTS THROUGH THE SENSORY MEDIA.


Touch and prick, warmth and searing heat:


Why is the touch of someone (usually) pleasant whilst the prick of a needle unpleasant or painful?


Touch is pleasant because the force applied is blunt or diffuse and the force transmitted is mildly rising in speed and strength and usually the person’s mental force of self preservation is on guard to shield the application of force. When the person is tired or sick his mental force of self preservation may go AWOL and then even a mild touch is painful.


A prick is painful because the force applied is concentrated at a point and rapidly rising in speed and strength that overcomes even the vigilant person’s force of self preservation.


In the same way, the warmth of bodily contact is pleasant because the heat (a form of force) received is mild in strength whilst contact with a hot kettle is painful because the heat transmitted is sharply rising in strength.


THUS IN BOTH CASES IT IS FORCE THAT IS CAUSING PAIN OR PLEASURE DEPENDING ON THE INTENSITY OF ITS APPLICATION AND THE FILTERING OF THE FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION.


Pain and pleasure are fruits that do not last:


Because pain and pleasure are merely the results of different force impingement on the consciousness as a result of contact with objects, anyone who seeks them, finds sustenance in them and are devoted to them are devoted to what is meaningless (force is blind and has no meaning) and does not last but lasts as long as force still acts.


Because pain and pleasure are fruits that perish, if you seek them, you too will perish.


And so it is that the gulf in terms of rewards between not liking nor disliking and neither pain nor pleasure is wide, the former only has a lifespan of 4 eons in heaven whilst the latter has a lifespan of 500 eons.


Therefore if you like pain and pleasure, your liking itself denies you 4 eons in heaven and if you cannot stop thinking then that is 2 eons in heaven out of question for you, if you have no genuine goodwill (only hypocritical acted goodwill) that is zero eons for you in heaven.


ANYTHING THAT IS A PRODUCT OF FORCE IS BLIND AND MEANINGLESS AND DOES NOT LAST. PAIN AND PLEASURE, LIKE & DISLIKE AND THINKING ARE ALL DRIVEN BY FORCE AND SO ANYONE WHO PRACTICES THEM IS A SLAVE OF BLIND HARMFUL PERISHABLE FORCE.


Nik Aziz: I will never take back my words:


It is never reason but emotion, perhaps defiance that drives people to make such foolish absolute statements.


The calm clear thinking response is that “I have examined what I said and it is correct and therefore I will not reverse my position”.


The person of truth addresses specific situations as a case by case basis. “I will never take back my words” is an absolute, sweeping indiscriminate rehashed reply that risks falsity if not always false.


It is all about force and exiting force:


It is the excess unnecessary for show force in the stretching of syllables, changing of speed and loudness in thinking that makes a person unable to stop thinking to access no thinking and two eons in heaven.


It is the stirring of mental force attractively and repulsively that makes a person like and dislike that deprives him of four eons in heaven if he had achieved neither liking nor disliking.


It is the force present in sensate contact that triggers pleasure and pain whose experiences subjugates the person and deprives him of 500 eons of heavenly existence that comes from the force free mental state of neither pain nor pleasure.


IT IS FORCE THAT IS THE CAUSE OF PAIN AND PLEASURE, THAT PROPELS LIKE AND DISLIKE AND SUSTAINS THE PERSON IN PERPETUAL OR NONSTOP THINKING THAT INCREMENTALLY DETAINS THE FOOLISH SUBMISSIVE BEING IN SUFFERING THAT OFTEN REACHES TORMENTING LEVELS.


Pain & Pleasure is a perversion not enhancement of perception:


There are these channels of perception namely sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. For beings who exist in and are subject to pain and pleasure, they perceive through sight, sound, smell, taste and touch that certain objects are painful, pleasurable or neither painful nor pleasurable.


Rather than an enhancement of what is perceived pain and pleasure is a perversion that is not only totally unnecessary but suffering.


Why is perceiving something as painful or pleasurable a perversion?


What is pleasurable is not universal but varies between individuals. By consensus, mild to moderate force in what is perceived is pleasurable but some individuals may find moderate even intense force perceived as pleasurable as those who find pleasure in sadomasochism can attest.


Conversely there are some who suffer from medical conditions when even the slightest touch is painful.


A person who sees his girlfriend or wife intimate with another may experience intense hurt or pain at the sight when there is nothing in terms of force emanating in the sight of what he saw that could have caused so much pain and so in this case the pain is virtual, caused by his own mind rather than because there is intense force received by him in what he saw. The same sight may not cause any hurt but even pleasure in another man.


THUS IT IS THAT PAIN AND PLEASURE IN WHAT IS PERCEIVED IS NOT OBJECTIVE, WHAT IS PAIN TO ANOTHER MAY BE PERCEIVED AS PLEASURE IN ANOTHER, WHAT IS PLEASURABLE TO ANOTHER MAY BE PAINFUL TO ANOTHER, THE SIGHT OR SOUND OR SMELL OF SOMETHING MAY EVOKE INTENSE PAIN OR PLEASURE IN SOME PEOPLE BUT NOT OTHERS.


THE UNADULTERATED STATE OF PERCEIVING HAS NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE AND PAIN OR PLEASURE IS AN ADULTERATED OR PERVERTED STATE OF PERCEPTION THAT IS BOTH OBJECTIVE IN THE SENSE THAT THERE IS TRANSMITTED FORCE IN WHAT IS PERCEIVED EG HEAT THAT IS PAINFUL WHEN THE FORCE IS STRONG (HOT IRON) AND PLEASURABLE WHEN IT IS MILD AND SUBJECTIVE, THERE IS NOTHING TRANSMITTED IN THE SIGHT (OF HIS WIFE CAVORTING WITH ANOTHER MAN) THAT CAN TRIGGER SO MUCH PAIN BUT IT IS HIS PERVERTED PERCEPTION THAT IS RESPONSIBLE. EVEN OBJECTIVE PAIN AND PLEASURE CAN BE CIRCUMVENTED AS WHEN DEVOTEES IN A TRANCE WALK THROUGH A PIT OF COAL WITHOUT PAIN OR BEING BURNT.


PERCEPTION THAT HAS NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE IS THE TRUER AND HIGHER FORM OF PERCEPTION.


PERCEPTION DOES NOT NEED ENHANCEMENT LET ALONE PERVERSION. WHATEVER THAT IS ADDED ON TO PERCEPTION, PAIN AND PLEASURE IS A CORRUPTION OR TAMPERING. THUS IT IS THAT NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE IS A HIGHER STATE OF MIND THAT ACCORDS THE BEING EVEN 500 ETERNITIES IN HEAVENLY BLISS.


Force added by self or others:


It is the force accompanying the perception that causes pain or pleasure and by general consensus mild force accompanying causes pleasure and intense force causes pain.


This force accompanying a perception may be added by the perceiver himself (as when a man sees his daughter being raped by robbers) or it comes with the perception (as when pain is felt on touching a hot iron which has intense force as heat transmitted with the touch).


Although like and dislike is usually attendant in the pain or pleasure experience in emotional people, pain and pleasure feelings are separate and not to be confused with like and dislike. Thus the man who sees his daughter being raped feels pain and in addition he may feel anger (rage or hate), a form of dislike and then become agitated (another emotion).


Some people are very sensitive to pain eg a little heat or even light touch is painful whilst some are very tolerant or insensitive to pain reflecting that there is considerable variability in the pain and pleasure experience. Some people become addicted and search for sources of pain or pleasure to sustain them here. Eg food addicts will travel everywhere looking for ‘gourmet’ food.


Toh stands fast by his Muslim friends


KUALA TERENGGANU: In a show of solidarity with his Muslim friends, Terengganu executive councillor Toh Chin Yaw has decided to fast during Ramadan.


You and he see nothing wrong but he is practicing controlled madness that will end in madness.


You fast because you have reason to eg as a pre-op preparation not to stand fast by your Muslim friends which makes it for show to please or impress others.


IF YOU MEAN SOMETHING YOU DO (FASTING) IT IS NOT TO IMPRESS OR PLEASE OTHERS OR STAND BY THEM BUT THERE IS TRUE REASON FOR YOU TO DO SO.


WHATEVER THAT IS DONE FOR FALSE REASONS IS PRACTICING FALSE LOGIC THAT WILL END IN MAD LOGIC.


You must have a reason to say or do something:


You must have a reason to say or do something, and people always have reason or motive (force reason) to say or do things even though they may not be aware of it because of repeated past denials such that they now cannot see or are not aware.


If you have no reason for saying or doing it, you must be mad or ‘trying to be funny’ or act mad.


If your reason for doing or saying something (fasting to stand fast with friends) is false, not valid, you are practicing false logic whose final destiny is mad logic.


FALSE LOGIC IS TO SAY OR DO SOMETHING FOR FALSE REASONS. OFTEN PEOPLE SAY OR DO THINGS (EG SMILE) NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE REASON TO DO SO BUT TO IMPRESS OR PLEASE OTHERS AND THIS IS PRACTICING FALSE LOGIC YOU CANNOT BELIEVE WILL END IN MAD LOGIC.


Goldman Sachs essentially plundering:


By employing superfast computers and software to beat others to a purchase, Goldman Sachs is acting as a pirate and the authorities reflecting their indifference and connivance allows it to continue.


As you raise your hand to obtain an apple, Goldman Sachs sees you doing it and his hand quickly beats you to the apple, obtains it so that if you wish to continue buying the apple, you must pay it a commission. In the same way, as you execute your order to sell, Goldman Sachs sees it and sells faster than you so that he sells at a higher price and you may have to settle for a lower price if you still want to sell.


IT IS NOT BECAUSE GOLDMAN SACHS WANTS TO BUY A SHARE THAT IT BUYS BUT IT SECRETLY SEES YOU SETTING IN MOTION BUYING AND BY SHEER SPEED IT BEATS YOU TO IT DEPRIVING YOU OF YOUR PURCHASE THAT IF YOU STILL WISHED TO FULFILL YOU MUST PAY GOLDMAN SACHS A COMMISSION.


IF THIS IS NOT CHEATING AND STEALING, WHAT IS IT AND IT REFLECTS THE CONNIVANCE AND CRASSNESS OF AUTHORITIES THAT THEY ALLOW SUCH ACTIVITIES TO PERSIST. THERE IS SOME TRUTH IN THE STEREOTYPE OF JEWS AND HOW THEY EXERT FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL POWER IN AMERICA BECAUSE OF THEIR SHREWDNESS AND CONNECTIONS IN HIGH PLACES.


GOLDMAN SACHS AND MORGAN STANLEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE COMMODITY MARKETS ESPECIALLY OIL, THEY ARE NOT IN THERE FOR CHARITY OR FUN BUT TO MAKE PROFIT THAT CAN ONLY MEAN FROM CONSUMERS AND THE ECONOMY SUFFERS. IT IS AGAIN A REFLECTION OF THE INCOMPETENCE OF AUTHORITIES THAT THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH PEOPLE LIKE GOLDMAN SACHS WHO HAVE NO INTERESTS IN OIL BEING IN THE MARKET.


THUS BY SUCH UNFAIR PRACTICES THE REAL WEALTH IN THIS WORLD IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY POLARIZING INTO THE HANDS OF A FEW WHILST THE REST ACT AS SLAVES AND BECOME FURTHER AND FURTHER LEFT BEHIND UNTIL THERE IS INSTABILITY, TOO FEW OWN TOO MUCH THAT THEY CANNOT SPEND ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY AND TOO MANY ARE TOO POOR TO SPEND BECAUSE THEIR MONEY HAS BEEN STOLEN BY THESE FEW.


INFLATED ASSETS LIKE PROPERTY AND SHARE PRICES ARE ESSENTIALLY PLOYS USED BY THE VESTED FEW TO TRANSFER MONEY FROM THE MASSES TO THEM, THEY GET THE BANKS TO DISIMBURSE SAVINGS TO THEM SO THAT PEOPLE WHO THINK THEIR SAVINGS ARE SAFE IN BANKS DO NOT REALIZE IT IS ALL GONE TO DEVELOPERS AND SHARE MANIPULATORS WHO SOLD HOUSES AND SHARES AT EXORBITANT PRICES TO FOOLS WHO BORROWED YOUR MONEY TO BUY THEM.


Two sources of force in perception:


There are two sources of force in an emotional being’s perceptions (sight, sound, touch, smell, taste) and it is this force accompanying perceiving that is responsible for pain and pleasure derived from perceiving.


There is the force conveyed by the perceptions eg force stretching syllables, changing loudness and speed of the speech heard transmits force on the listener or perceiver. Similarly the heat (a form of force) of a boiling kettle) is transmitted to the person on touch.


There is in addition force in the perception of the stylish person as a result of his using force to perceive as when people stare (use force to prolong their gaze) or their eyes dart about as they see (changing speed and strength).


IT IS THE FORCE ACCOMPANYING AND CONVEYED THROUGH PERCEPTIONS THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAIN AND PLEASURE WITH PLEASURE USUALLY EXPERIENCED IF THE FORCE IMPACTING IS MILD TO MODERATE AND PAIN USUALLY EXPERIENCED IF FORCE IMPACTING IS SEVERE.


THERE ARE TWO SOURCES OF FORCE IMPACTING THROUGH PERCEPTION AND ONE IS THE FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH IN THE SOUNDS AND ACTIONS OF OTHERS BEING PERCEIVED AND THE OTHER IS THE USE OF FORCE THAT IS UNNECESSARY TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH AS THE PERSON PERCEIVES.


BY FILTERING OUT THE FORCE IMPACTING THROUGH THE PERCEPTIONS AND NOT USING UNNECESSARY FORCE TO PERCEIVE, THE ACCOMPLISHED OR SKILLFUL BEING EXPERIENCES NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE WHICH IS AN INCOMPARABLE STATE TO EXIST IN COMPARED TO PAIN AND PLEASURE AND IT ACCORDS EVEN 500 EONS IN HEAVEN.


Taken for a ride and you are thrilled:


People are thrilled to learn the value of their houses and shares have risen when they should not be because they are being taken for a ride in which their wealth will be stripped from them and they will be left destitute whilst the strippers will ‘laugh all the way to the bank’.


It is the property developers and sellers of shares who stand to gain the most, so they keep coming up with new properties and shares to sell, they recruit banks to tap the savings deposited in them to be paid to them whilst foolish covetous buyers of shares and properties commit to even lifelong repayment of their loans that in the event of adversity they may fail to complete.


THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, NOT JUST IN MALAYSIA, A FEW VESTED GOATS AND THE POLITICIANS IN THEIR POCKETS HAVE CREATED HUGE PROPERTY AND SHARE BUBBLES THAT ENTICE FOOLISH GREEDY PEOPLE TO BORROW MONEY RECKLESSLY TO BUY THEM SO THAT MONEY IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY TRANSFERRED FROM THE SYSTEM TO THESE SELECT FEW UNTIL A TIME COMES WHEN THESE FEW OWN TOO MUCH MONEY THEY CANNOT SPEND ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY WHILST THE MANY ARE IN DEBTS OR THEIR SAVINGS IN BANKS HAVE BEEN RECKLESSLY LENT OUT TO BE ACCUMULATED BY THESE GOATS SUCH THAT THE SYSTEM IS DESTABILIZED.


If what I say is true, then this is checkmate, there can be no recovery unless these few goats with so much money return the money to the rest, which they will never do.


No win or checkmate situation:


According to Warren Buffett the US government expenditure is 180% more than its revenue and so it is faced with a choice of cutting back expenses (that will further depress the economy) or raise taxes (that will further depress the economy). Because it will be unpopular to do both, governments usually elect to procrastinate or borrow (hoping that China will keep exporting and stashing its money in the US) or print money that may work for awhile but it is cheating and results in inflation.


According to Buffett, this year’s US deficit is estimated at $1.8 trillion, of which hopefully China continues to have an appetite for US treasuries, $400 billion will be tapped from foreigners, with $500 billion tapped domestically from savings of people (far above what they have been saving).


THIS STILL LEAVES A $900 BILLION SHORTFALL THAT WILL HAVE TO BE MET BY THE US GOVERNMENT PRINTING MONEY OR CHEATING.


THE US GOVERNMENT STILL HAS TO REPAY WHAT IT USED FROM ITS PEOPLE SAVINGS AND FOREIGNERS’ DEPOSITS PLUS THE INTEREST ON THE BORROWING AND SO THE US GOVERNMENT POSITION IS HARROWING IF NOT UNTENABLE.


THE WISE MAN LEARNS TO LIVE WITHIN HIS MEANS AND BY THIS YARDSTICK THE US GOVERNMENT IS EXTREMELY PROFLIGATE AND MAY BE VERGING ON BANKRUPCY IF NOT ALREADY SO. IT IS STRUGGLING AND DEPENDANT ON BORROWINGS FROM FOREIGNERS AND ITS OWN CITIZENS AND EVEN THEN IT CANNOT MAKE ENDS MEET.


EVEN AFTER BORROWING 900 BILLION FROM FOREIGNERS & CITIZENS (WHICH IT WILL HAVE TO REPAY PLUS INTEREST) IT STILL HAS A SHORTFALL OF 900 BILLION THAT IT MAY HAVE TO RESORT TO PRINTING MONEY OR CHEATING.


YET IN THE FACE OF SUCH ADVERSITY WHEN EVERYONE EXCEPT THE LIKES OF GOLDMAN SACHS IS STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET, THE STOCK MARKET IS BULLISH.


Transmitted & used force is the cause of pain & pleasure:


It is the force transmitted by received perceptions and the force used by the perceiving person that is solely responsible for the pain and pleasure of the being as a result of what he perceives (sees, hears, smells, tastes and touches).


Minus this force transmitted that is received or force used to perceive the person feels no pain or pleasure, he merely perceives the substance of what is seen, heard, smelt, tasted or touched (smooth or rough).


Subsequent to the feelings of pain and pleasure generated by the force transmitted by perceptions and used to perceive the person foolishly stirs his mental force to like and dislike the pain and pleasure that far from enhancing his pain and pleasure, aggravates it.


Thus in a personally emotionally sensitive scene as when a father witnesses his daughter being raped, the father involuntarily intensifies the force he normally uses to see and that causes the pain of what he sees to rise often beyond his control so that he may go berserk or violent with rage or anger a form of dislike.


The substance and style of perception:


Whatever that can be seen, heard, smelt, tasted and touched can be examined and it can be determined what is the substance and style of the perception.


The pain and pleasure of a perception, the prolonging in force, change of speed and strength of force of what is perceived or used to perceive is the style not substance of the perception.


What can be seen that is the substance of what is seen is the shape (round or square), texture (smooth or rough), colour (red or blue) and size.


What can be seen that is the style of what is seen is its attractiveness (beauty or stirred like) or ugliness (stirred dislike) & the pain or pleasure it generates.


Similarly the substance of what is touched is the smoothness or coarseness of what is touched. The style of what is touched is the pain or pleasure the touch brings or the force prolonging, changing speed and strength of the touch.


Goldman Sachs utterly unethical, immoral, predatory:


Like a cockcroach whose feelers are constantly sensing the air for food, Goldman Sachs is not interested in the stocks it purchases, once it senses you have keyed in a buy order, its computers move faster to grab what you want to purchase before you can get it, holding what you want to buy hostage to be released for a premium.


It is purely predatory or opportunistic, indiscriminate (driven by the rule that says I will grab what you want before you without considering the stock involved) and makes a mockery of their pretence of investing, studying and selecting good companies to buy into. And these are the people who run the world’s financial system, whom people put their money in trust with and it says much of the system of governance and the politicians who run the governance.


IT IS A PREDATORY CUT THROAT INSATIABLE THIRST FOR GAIN AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS, WHO CARES IF WE BRING DOWN THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM FINANCIAL WORLD OUT THERE AND THERE CAN BE ONE FINAL OUTCOME, THESE PEOPLE WILL RUN THE SYSTEM TO THE GROUND AFTER GRABBING ALL THE MONEY THEY CAN GET HOLD OF.


Are dry harvests the future for California?


Harvests can be poor or good but never dry and it is flirting with mad perception in the name of trying to impress others to say something in a different way that you think is ‘cute’.


He and you think it is a matter of language, harmless and even attractive but it is conditioning oneself to falsity that is a bond to suffering and even future insanity.

Only force can be triggered:

 

Only force can be triggered:





This man is having a hearty laugh and no matter how genuine or appropriate you perceive it to be, it is triggered (not reasoned) by something said or happening.

ONLY FORCE OR PLANS (EG OF HOW TO LAUGH) DRIVEN BY FORCE CAN BE TRIGGERED AND SO IT IS THAT HIS LAUGHTER IS A PLAN OF HOW TO LAUGH ACCORDING TO HIM THAT HAS BEEN TRIGGERED BY SOMETHING SAID AND IT IS REHASHED AND ROBOTIC AND FAR FROM UNADULTERATED BLISS, IT IS STRESSFUL AND DISTURBING TO THE MIND THAT ALSO CONDITIONS HIS MIND FURTHER THAT WILL END IN TORMENT. HE IS LAUGHING FOR SHOW TO IMPRESS OTHERS HOW HAPPY OR APPRECIATIVE HE IS.


WHEN YOUR BEHAVIOR (EG LAUGHTER) CAN BE TRIGGERED, YOU ARE A SLAVE NOT MASTER OF YOUR BEHAVIOR. WHILST HE IS LAUGHING THUS, HE IS DETACHED FROM REALITY, IN A DAZE AND IN DANGER SHOULD SOMETHING REQUIRING ACTION LIKE THE APPEARANCE OF A TIGER REQUIRE QUICK THINKING FROM HIM.


No such thing as illegal in Buddhism?


By Cheong Knooi Cheng


Dr. Mohd. Ridhuan Tee, our so-called Islamic scholar has proclaimed a very wrong fact about Buddhism when he mentioned that the existence of sexual relationship before engagement or marriage is illegal. The very truth is that there is no such thing as illegal in Buddhism but only abstaining or refraining. One would wonders from which Buddhist authorities or texts he gets his facts.


There are precepts and discipline in Buddhism that are clearly spelt out and all faults are to be confessed and eradicated, otherwise you can be expelled from Buddhism. Thus if as a lay follower or monk you do something that the rules clearly spell that you should abstain, you are doing something illegal and not only is it to be confessed, you have to desist and you can be expelled if you do not.


This is an emotional deluded man who thinks he understands Buddhism and is an authority when he misrepresents Buddhism. Truth is truth, there is nothing very about truth. Wrong is wrong, there is nothing very about wrong. You can only be wrong, if you perceive that it is possible to be very wrong you may be right or have false perception that will end in mad perception.


He is sarcastic, calling the person ‘so-called Islamic scholar’ and pretentiously ‘wonders’ from which Buddhist authorities or texts he gets his facts (as if what he says is fact).


What do you mean by illegal?


Illegal means not legal or lawful or correct or it is wrong.


The Buddha’s teaching is called the dharma and it spells out clearly what is right and wrong.


The Buddha said such and such is virtue, such and such is concentration, such and such is wisdom and so virtue can be clearly defined and it applies to everyone. Thus whatever is not as defined by the Buddha is wrong or false and therefore illegal in Buddhism.


Buddhism is not founded by you but by the Buddha and so whoever is said to be Buddhist must abide by rules and teachings that the Buddha has clearly set down and is not negotiable and whoever infringes against the teaching has committed an offence or done something illegal.


Jesus said he who obeys what I command is the one who loves me so can you still call yourself a Christian if you disobey what Jesus commanded?


Whatever is wrong must be illegal:


If you commit a wrong according to a religion then it must be illegal according to the religion. If you think you can commit a wrong or follow a religion wrongly and it is nevertheless not illegal you may be right or you have muddled thinking and false perception that something impossible is possible that is the path to future madness.


IT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMETHING WRONG TO BE NEVERTHELESS LEGAL OR NOT ILLEGAL. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN COMMIT A WRONG ACCORDING TO BUDDHISM AND IT IS STILL NOT ILLEGAL YOU MAY BE RIGHT OR YOU HAVE ADVANCED FALSE PERCEPTION.


What is the use of teaching as in Buddhist teaching if it is not to be followed? If you don’t follow the teaching or follow the teaching wrongly then if that is not illegal it means it is legal or legitimate to not follow the teaching or follow it wrongly. If you follow the Buddha’s teaching wrongly or do not follow it, what kind of Buddhism are you following if it is not false or non-Buddhism?


For instance the Buddha teaches that it is wrong to take life (euthanasia is taking life, killing even insects is taking life) and so if you kill, aren’t you not following the Buddha or following wrongly? If this is not illegal according to you (nothing is illegal in Buddhism) then it is legitimate to kill in Buddhism which is preposterous because Buddhism says it is wrong to kill.


ALL RELIGIONS TEACHES WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG AND THERE CAN BE NOTHING WORSE THAN COMMITTING A WRONG ACCORDING TO THE RELIGION. IF IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO COMMIT A WRONG ACCORDING TO THE RELIGION THEN YOUR RELIGION PREACHES ‘EVERYTHING GOES’ OR NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT IS MAD OR IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE ALL RELIGIONS PREACHES THAT THERE IS RIGHT AND WRONG AND SO WHATEVER IS WRONG IS ILLEGAL AND THERE IS ILLEGALITY IN BUDDHISM.


What the Buddha preached applies to everyone:


What the Buddha taught does not apply to Buddhists only, it applies to all beings not just humans but gods and animals, it does not matter if you are atheist, Christian, Muslim or Hindu, if you infringe on what the Buddha taught you are setting yourself up for suffering that may be a vast as an ocean and as long as an eternity.


Not only is there right and wrong in Buddhism but he taught right and wrong that embraced every aspect of a being and whoever departs from the Noble Eightfold Path: right view, resolve, mindfulness, effort, livelihood, concentration, speech and conduct is in danger of future suffering.


Thus even laziness and love of sleep is censured by the Buddha who says sleepiness and laziness is one of five hindrances that detain a being in suffering.


Again what Jesus said that woe to you who laughs for you shall weep applies to everyone who laughs, Muslim or Buddhist or Christian not just Christians.


THEREFORE ANYONE WHO SAYS THERE IS NOTHING ILLEGAL IN BUDDHISM IS MISREPRESENTING BUDDHISM. NOT ONLY IS THERE WRONG AND WHATEVER IS WRONG IS ILLEGAL, WRONG IS FAR MORE EXTENSIVE THAN IGNORANT PEOPLE PERCEIVE AND HE HAS DESCRIBED WHAT IS RIGHT UNDER THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH:


"And what is right view? Knowledge with regard to stress, knowledge with regard to the origination of stress, knowledge with regard to the cessation of stress, knowledge with regard to the way of practice leading to the cessation of stress: This is called right view.


"And what is right resolve? Aspiring to renunciation, to freedom from ill will, to harmlessness: This is called right resolve.


"And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, & from idle chatter: This is called right speech.


"And what is right action? Abstaining from taking life, from stealing, & from sexual intercourse. This is called right action.


"And what is right livelihood? There is the case where a noble disciple, having abandoned dishonest livelihood, keeps his life going with right livelihood: This is called right livelihood.


"And what is right effort? There is the case where a monk generates desire, endeavors, arouses persistence, upholds & exerts his intent for the sake of the non-arising of evil, unskillful qualities that have not yet arisen... for the sake of the abandoning of evil, unskillful qualities that have arisen...for the sake of the arising of skillful qualities that have not yet arisen...(and) for the maintenance, non-confusion, increase, plenitude, development, & culmination of skillful qualities that have arisen: This is called right effort.


"And what is right mindfulness? There is the case where a monk remains focused on the body in & of itself -- ardent, alert, & mindful -- putting aside greed & distress with reference to the world. He remains focused on feelings in & of themselves...the mind in & of itself...mental qualities in & of themselves -- ardent, alert, & mindful -- putting aside greed & distress with reference to the world. This is called right mindfulness.


"And what is right concentration? There is the case where a monk -- quite withdrawn from sensuality, withdrawn from unskillful (mental) qualities -- enters & remains in the first jhana: rapture & pleasure born from withdrawal, accompanied by directed thought & evaluation. With the stilling of directed thought & evaluation, he enters & remains in the second jhana: rapture & pleasure born of composure, unification of awareness free from directed thought & evaluation -- internal assurance. With the fading of rapture he remains in equanimity, mindful & alert, physically sensitive of pleasure. He enters & remains in the third jhana, of which the Noble Ones declare, 'Equanimous & mindful, he has a pleasurable abiding.' With the abandoning of pleasure & pain -- as with the earlier disappearance of elation & distress -- he enters & remains in the fourth jhana: purity of equanimity & mindfulness, neither pleasure nor pain. This is called right concentration.


"This is called the noble truth of the path of practice leading to the cessation of stress.


The four higher states of mind:


According to the Buddha there is the ordinary state of the mind that is the default state of foolish stylish emotional beings enmeshed in this world and there are four higher states of the mind that are denied them, that they are unaware exist and they are superior with increasing freedom from suffering.


These higher states of mind must be cultivated, they will not instantly reveal themselves and even when sought, unless the wise disciple practices meditation correctly he may never experience these states. Thus you may meditate forever but if your mind is imbued with preoccupations about the world, selfishness, ill will, self identity views, you meditate with force not to dissociate your mind from force you will never attain these higher states of the mind.


The first higher state of mind: rapture & pleasure born from withdrawal, accompanied by directed thought & evaluation.


You can sit alone and still be involved in the world with sensual fantasy but if you are not only withdrawn physically but also mentally, you have set aside all your troubles and desires, then you will experience rapture of your body and mind that is accompanied by directed thought and evaluation.


The second higher state of mind: rapture & pleasure born of composure, unification of awareness free from directed thought & evaluation -- internal assurance.


There is rapture but it is now freed off all directed thought and evaluation.


The third higher state of mind: With the fading of rapture he remains in equanimity, mindful & alert, physically sensitive of pleasure. He enters & remains in the third jhana, of which the Noble Ones declare, 'Equanimous & mindful, he has a pleasurable abiding.'


The third higher state is characterized by equanimity or the absence of stirring of the person’s mental force to like or dislike whatever is happening. There is still pleasure, he is physically sensitive to pleasure. As the Buddha said, 'Equanimous (neither liking nor disliking) & mindful, he has a pleasurable abiding (there is still pleasure & pain).'


The fourth higher state of mind: purity of equanimity & mindfulness, neither pleasure nor pain.


With the fourth higher state his equanimity or neither liking nor disliking is pure and in addition he no longer experiences pain nor pleasure, he has entered a realm where there is no longer pain or pleasure, no longer any suffering.


Style precludes access to the higher mental states:


It does matter what religion you belong to, as long as you have style or use force to constantly stretch syllables, change speed and loudness that necessitates regurgitation and so you are a robot, you will never attain the higher states of the mind that will remain shut to you.


The road to attaining the liberating higher states of mind is the absence of the use of force to constantly stretch, change speed and strength that are not only meaningless, serves no useful purpose but is harmful to one’s mind and others and requires you become a mindless rehashing robot.


THUS BECAUSE EVEN THE HIGHEST PRIESTS LIKE THE DALAI LAMA EXHIBIT STYLE AND EMOTION, THEY HAVE NOT ATTAINED THE HIGHER STATES OF MIND THAT THE BUDDHA DESCRIBED, THEY HAVE FALLEN FAR SHORT AS ALLEGED DISCIPLES OF THE BUDDHA. EVEN THE LOIN CLOTH OR NAKED ASCETICS YOU SEE ALONG THE BANKS OF THE GANGES MANIFEST STYLE AND HAVE NOT ATTAINED THESE HIGHER STATES OF THE MIND.


A week is a long time in politics:


You hear many people bandy this cliché and it must be copied and regurgitated from each other without understanding that it is meaningless and irrelevant to the matter at hand.


What the person means is that politics is so fast moving, things can change so fast that things can suddenly change in one week. This is a falsification to exaggerate how volatile or fast moving politics is. It is driven by emotion (force) intended to stir emotion that nothing is certain in politics and things can change very fast even beyond recognition.


WHAT HAS THINGS CAN CHANGE VERY FAST OR A WEEK IS A LONG TIME IN POLITICS GOT TO DO WITH AN EVENT IN POLITICS THAT THE PERSON IS REFERRING TO? IT IS TOTALLY BESIDES THE POINT, AN UNNECESSARY MUSING OR DISTRACTION FROM THE MATTER AT HAND THAT IS NOT HARMLESS BUT IT IS CONTROLLED NONSENSE THAT WILL END IN MADNESS FOR THE PERSON AND HE HAS KARMA FOR TRYING TO INDUCE OTHERS TO PERCEIVE THAT A WEEK IS A LONG TIME IN POLITICS IS A RELEVANT OBSERVATION, IS INVOLVED IN THE MATTER AT HAND.


A week is just a week, not long or short:


A week is just what it says, ‘a week’, it is not a long time or a short time in politics or whatever else. ‘A week is a long time in politics’ is a fabrication driven by emotion (the person likes what he is saying, he thinks it is attractive or stylish or profound when it is nonsense) intended to stir emotion in others and it has nothing to do with meaning because it has no meaning.


A WEEK IS AN AGREED MEASURE OF TIME AND IT IS STANDARD, NEITHER SHORT NOR LONG BE IT IN POLITICS OR ANYTHING ELSE AND TO PERCEIVE THAT A WEEK IS A SHORT TIME IN POLITICS IS TO TRAIN YOURSELF TO PERCEIVE FALSELY THAT WILL END IN MAD PERCEPTION.


IF YOU LET YOUR YES BE YES ONLY AS JESUS COMMANDED YOU GO TO THE POLITICAL MATTER AT HAND, IF YOU DON’T, YOU BEAT AROUND THE BUSH, YOU DIGRESS, YOU SAY ‘A WEEK IS A LONG TIME IN POLITICS’ THAT IS TOTALLY IRRELEVANT AND FALSE AND YOU ARE COURTING INSANITY.


She is angry, sad and disturbed:





Her expression is a reflection of her mental state that is emotional and is a mixture of anger that is frustrated leading to sadness and agitation or confusion.

Thus she is experiencing three emotions together, anger, sadness and agitation and it is a potent cocktail that is not only suffering but conditioning and whoever you are, no matter how good mankind say you are, you are consigning yourself to future woe.


It is impossible that a person who has a calm clearly thinking mind can have an expression like this on his face and such an expression is a sign of danger even doom.


Charging Tiger takes early lead:


It is unlikely if not impossible that Tiger Woods can be charging at such an early stage of the championship.


Just because Tiger Woods is in the lead does not mean he is charging.


Charging means throwing caution to the wind or playing aggressively taking risks.


If in the latter stages of the tournament Tiger is far behind then it is possible that he will charge or play aggressively.


At such an early stage it would be reckless for Tiger Woods not to play a game of controlled aggression because charging risks wrecking his chances.


Air controller’s fatal phone call:


Apparently the air controller in a recent NY fatal air crash involving a plane and helicopter was on the phone when the crash occurred.


What he and others do not realize is that he may or will have to pay even with his life even many times in the future for a dereliction of duty.


You want to exist, you will not give up existence and you relish being a air traffic controller for the prestige and money it brings but you refuse and cannot see the existence comes with a very heavy price, even the man who calls his brother ‘you fool’ is in danger of the fire of hell and the Brahmin who sacrificed a goat had to be sacrificed as a goat 500 times.


For a being who craves existence, he should remind himself that existence is expensive and ordinary people have suffering due to them that is as vast as an ocean for debts they owe.


NHS attack by MEP 'unpatriotic'


Labour steps up its attacks on a Tory MEP who criticised the NHS on US television, with the health secretary calling it unpatriotic.


The only valid reasons for not criticizing something are because there is nothing to criticize or it is unbeneficial, there is no gain to criticize.


‘Un-patriotism’ is not a valid reason not to criticize and that person is courting mad logic and creating karma for inducing others to embrace false logic that they should not criticize because it is unpatriotic.


THE ONLY REASONS FOR NOT CRITICIZING IS THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO CRITICIZE OR IT WOULD NOT BE USEFUL OR BENEFICIAL TO DO SO, NOT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE UNPATRIOTIC TO CRITICIZE. ANYONE WHO PROMOTES PATRIOTISM AS A REASON FOR DOING OR NOT DOING SOMETHING IS COURTING FALSE LOGIC THAT WILL END IN MAD LOGIC.


191 Malays decide who is PM:


Quote RPK: 191 Malays (UMNO division heads) decide who becomes the Umno president. So 191 Malays also decide who rules over 27.7 million Malaysians. This is not democracy. This is power being concentrated in the hands of a very few. This is worse than colonialism. This is worse than having a Monarchy system. This is even worse than having the army ruling over Malaysia. Only 191 Malays decide the fate of all of us.
UMNO members do not vote for the president, it is the select few who are division heads, who can be much easily bought with money than ordinary members who decide who is UMNO president and thus PM.


THUS MALAYSIA IS A DEMOCRACY IN NAME BUT NOT REALITY BECAUSE BEHIND THE SCENES THE RULING ELITE CAN MANIPULATE THE SELECTION PROCESS SUCH THAT ONLY 191 MALAYS DECIDE WHO RULES MALAYSIA.


DPM weighs in on Ong-Tiong spat


PUTRAJAYA: Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has asked Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd CEO Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing and MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat to be cautious about making their current spat public as it would affect the image of the Government and Barisan Nasional.


Affecting the image of the government is not a valid reason for not making a spat public and so anyone who does so is practicing false logic (in the name of deceiving the public) that will end in mad logic. It is an admission of dishonesty, of hiding dirty linen from public view and that this is isolated dishonesty is impossible.


In what ways is it false?


The statement, ‘one week is a long time in politics’ is false in more than one way.


Firstly it is false logic that just because a major upheaval or many things can and did happen in one week therefore ‘by logic’ a week is a long time in politics. This is a dangerous false conclusion because even though many things can and did happen or there was a major unexpected upheaval, it does not shorten or lengthen a week.


YOU HAVE FALSE PERCEPTION IF YOU THINK THAT ‘MANY THINGS CAN HAPPEN OR A MAJOR POLITICAL UPHEAVAL CAN HAPPEN IN ONE WEEK’ IS SYNONIMOUS WITH ‘A WEEK IS A LONG TIME IN POLITICS.


Secondly, if even you accept the false logic and perception, there can be many weeks where nothing happens in politics and so it is false to say a week is a long time in politics; it CAN BE but it is not IS a long time.


Thirdly it is totally irrelevant, a diversion or waste of time and energy to say so, what has a week is a long time in politics got to do with what happened except to say stir poignancy (an emotion) that is blind and meaningless?


Fourthly what is so special about politics that a week is a long time? Is a week a short time in poetry or science?


IF WHAT I SAY IS TRUE AND PERTINENT, HOW COME PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY UNDERSTAND, FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT THEY SAY OR HEAR IS FALSE AND IN WHAT WAYS IT IS FALSE? THIS LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OR FALSE UNDERSTANDING IS NOT ABOUT EXOTIC TRUTHS BUT EVERYDAY TRUTHS OR FALSITIES IN WHAT IS SAID AND DONE BY THEMSELVES AND OTHERS AND SO IT IS THAT IT MAY BE A DELUSION THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND FALSELY AND THEREFORE DON’T UNDERSTAND, THEIR UNDERSTANDING IS PROGRAMMED ROTE REHASHED RULES LOGIC.


What is poignancy?


Often what people say is intended to stir poignancy and they perceive it as meaningful.


Poignancy is mostly sadness (the consciousness experience of a person’s mental force prolonging for the sake of prolonging) with some emotional agitation thrown in.


THUS POIGNANCY IS A FANCY WORD FOR SADNESS AND WHEN YOU WANT TO STIR POIGNANCY IN OTHERS YOU WANT TO STIR BLIND MEANINGLESS HARMFUL MENTAL FORCE AND SO YOU ARE INCURRING KARMA.


Japan’s economy leaves recession:


Such headlines that include ‘how France & Germany beat recession’ are misleading; they are too eager to celebrate what may not be in reality.


If you threw a cat down a cliff, it would bounce a bit after it hit the bottom and if you think that bounce is a recovery when it is a ‘dead cat bounce’, then you have false perception, you are too emotionally presumptuous to jump to unwarranted conclusion.


Just because it has reached the bottom does not mean it will recover to the top of the cliff or the bottom is not a ledge with further depths below.


Thus after this bounce of the bottom there may be further declines if fall is merely arrested by a ledge that have further depths to plumbs.


First in meditation then in life:


If you cannot achieve no thinking, neither liking nor disliking or neither pain nor pleasure in the seclusion of meditation, what hope have you of experiencing those states (possible) during daily activities under the incessant bombardment of force from others?


As a result of persistent CORRECT meditation, I can now do daily chores with sparse even periods of absent thoughts, experience neither liking nor disliking what I come into contact and even experience neither pain nor pleasure.


TO ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THE STATE OF NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE HE KNOWS IT IS AN INCOMPARABLE STATE TO EXIST IN COMPARED TO THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO PAIN AND PLEASURE AND HE FEELS NO INCLINATION TO RETURN TO THE WOES OF THE PAST.


FOR ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THE STATE OF NEITHER LIKE NOR DISLIKE HE KNOWS IT IS AN INCOMPARABLE STATE TO EXIST IN COMPARED TO THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO LIKE AND DISLIKE AND HE FEELS NO INCLINATION TO RETURN TO THE WOES OF THE PAST.


FOR ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THE BLISS OF NO THINKING, HE KNOWS IT IS A SUPERIOR STATE OF EXISTENCE COMPARED TO CONSTANT THINKING.


IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THIS STATES YOU MUST FIRST NURTURE THESE STATES THROUGH CORRECT MEDITATION TO CALM YOUR MIND.


CALMING YOUR MIND MEANS PURGING YOUR MIND OF ALL FORCE ACTIVITIES.


IT IS IN THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT A MIND FREE OF FORCE WILL BE CALM.


IT IS IN THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT A MIND THAT IS CALM WILL BECOME CONCENTRATED.


IT IS IN THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT A MIND THAT IS CONCENTRATED WILL BECOME EQUANIMOUS, NEITHER LIKING NOR DISLIKING.


IT IS IN THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT A MIND THAT NEITHER LIKES NOR DISLIKES WILL EXPERIENCE NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE.


The vast majority meditate falsely because they apply force whilst meditation to calm and concentrate their minds instead of allowing force to dissipate by attrition which is why they never achieve any significant fruits.


Nevertheless the Buddha said meditate, don’t afterwards regret. Meditate and if you do it correctly to rid your mind of force then it is the nature of things that soon all thinking ceases (reward is 2 eons in heaven), you become equanimous or neither liking nor disliking (reward is 4 eons in heaven) and neither pain nor pleasure (reward is 500 eons in heaven). What you developed well in meditation can be translated into daily life and you will have a pleasant abiding here and a pleasant abiding after you die for many eternities.


The ten powers of the Buddha:


(No madman or fake can consistently lists his powers as the Buddha has done below in a way that is understandable by those who understand)


ânanda, these ten, are the powers of the Thus Gone One, endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching. What are the ten powers?


Emotional people with muddled thinking perceive what is impossible is possible and what is possible is impossible. The Buddha perceives in its entirety what is possible is possible what is impossible is impossible:


Here, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the possibilities as possibilities and the impossibilities as impossibilities. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the possibilities as possibilities and the impossibilities as impossibilities is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


The Buddha knows in its entirety the actions of karma, what actions gives rise to what fruits in pain and pleasure.


Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the acquirings of actions (karma) in the past, future and present according to place and reason, as it really is. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the acquirings of actions in the past, future and present according to place and reason, as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the method of going out of existence (all beings, including those in the highest reaches of heaven, are trapped in existence do not know the way out of existence, or going beyond all existing), as it really is. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the method of going out of existence, as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the innumerable and various elemental worlds (there are innumerable realms and the Buddha knows all of them), as it really is. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the innumerable and various elemental worlds, as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the various inclinations (tendencies) and settlements (basis) of beings, as it really is. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the various inclinations and settlements of beings, as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the range of movement of the mental faculties of other beings and great beings, as it really is (there is so much possibility of wisdom or understanding in certain beings and no more, some have wider ranges of comprehension than others). The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the range of movement of the mental faculties of other beings and great beings, as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the defilements, purities and risings of the higher states of the mind (the higher state with thinking, higher state without thinking, higher state without like and dislike, higher state without pain or pleasure, the sphere of infinitude of space, consciousness and nothingness), releases and concentrated attainments, as it really is. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the defilements, purities and risings of the higher states of the mind, releases and concentrated attainments as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One recollects the manifold previous births, such as one birth, two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand births, innumerable forward world cycles of births, innumerable backward world cycles of births, innumerable forward and backward world cycles of births. There I was of this name, clan, disposition, supports, experiencing such and such pleasant and unpleasant feelings and with such a life span. Disappearing from there was born thereòhere I was of this name, clan, disposition, supports, experiencing such and such pleasant and unpleasant feelings and with such a life span. Disappearing from there was born here.....re... recollects manifold previous births with all details. Bhikkhus, the Thus Gone One recollecting the manifold previous births such as one birth, two births, ....re.... recollecting the manifold previous births, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One, with the purified heavenly eye, above human sees beings disappearing and appearing according to their actions, in unexalted and exalted states, beautiful and ugly, in good and evil states.-'These good beings misbehaving by body, speech and mind, rebuking noble ones, with wrong view and the wrong view of actions, after death are born in loss, in decrease, in hell . As for these good beings endowed with the right behavious in body, speech and mind, not rebuking noble ones, with right view, and the right view of actions, after death are born in a good state in heaven. Thus with the purified heavenly eye, above human sees beings disappearing and appearing according to their actions. The Thus Gone One, with the purified heavenly eye, above human seeing beings disappearing and appearing.....re......according to their actions, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One, destroying desires, releasing the mind from desires and released through wisdom, (beings in this world have not destroyed desires, have not been released through wisdom) here and now realizing abides. The Thus Gone One having destroyed desires, releasing the mind and released through wisdom abiding here and now is a power of the Thus Gone One, endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


ânanda, these ten, are the powers of the Thus Gone One, endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.


Everything is for show:




 

Birds of the same feathers flock together. Everything they do including the skimpy clothes they wear, their expressions and contorted excited way of walking is rehashed rather than freshly composed for show to impress others.

If you think something you do, as above is impressive, it attracts men and men tell you it attracts them, why bother to freshly compose each time when you would want to repeat as accurately as possible what men told you were attractive, so you would concentrate on converting yourself into a robot of reproduction by keeping practicing what you have been told is impressive until you got it perfect to a dot so that you can reel it like a carbon copy each time you have the urge to display yourself and thrill men.


THE FLIP SIDE OF SUCH BEHAVIOR IS THAT IT IS TORMENTING, THE URGE TO DISPLAY YOURSELF AND ATTRACT MEN BECOME INCREASINGLY COMPELLING AND IT IS MADDENING RATHER THAN A PLEASURE AS IT IS FAKED TO BE. SUCH BEHAVIOR ARE FORCED, NO ONE GENUINELY DOES IT BUT THEY USE FORCE TO FORCE THEMSELVES TO DO SO ACCORDING TO A PLAN. INITIALLY THEY FORCE THEMSELVES TO DO SO BUT INCREASINGLY THEY ARE FORCED OR HAVE A URGE TO DO SO. THEY ARE HEADED FOR CERTAIN INSANITY UNLESS THEY CHANGE OR ARE BORN ANEW, WHICH IS UNLIKELY IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE.


If it is impressive and you want to impress:


If something you say or do is perceived by you as impressive, others tell you (whether truly or falsely) it is impressive (it stirs their mental forces attractively) and you are desirous of impressing others, surely you will make effort to memorize as faithfully as possible what you said or did that is deemed impressive so that you can impress others again and again in future and you will keep collecting pieces of behaviour and speech that you find impressive and others tell you so that you soon have a considerable library of speech and actions (eg stylish golf strokes, impressive bombastic words and phrases) to dish out.


The meaning of what you say or do, whether it fits the occasion well or not takes a back seat, what is more important if not the only consideration is that what you say or do should impress, should stir others’ mental forces attractively.


THUS IF WHAT YOU SAY OR DO IS IMPRESSIVE, OTHERS TELL YOU IT IS SO AND YOU DESIRE TO IMPRESS OTHERS YOU WILL KEEP REPEATING IT AND IN THE PROCESS YOU BECOME A PARROT OR REHASHER OVER AND OVER AGAIN OF STEREOTYPED SPEECH AND BEHAVIOR WHICH IS ACTUALLY TORMENTING AND YOU ARE HEADED FOR CERTAIN MAD ROBOT FAILURE.


IT WILL BE MAD TO COMPOSE FRESH EACH OCCASION TO IMPRESS OTHERS BECAUSE WHAT YOU NEXT COMPOSED FRESH MAY NOT BE AS IMPRESSIVE AS WHAT YOU SAID OR DID IN THE PAST THAT OTHERS ALREADY TOLD YOU IS IMPRESSIVE.


AND WHAT MEANING THAT IS EVERLASTING IS THERE IN SAYING OR DOING THINGS THAT STIR YOUR AND OTHERS’ BLIND MENTAL FORCES ATTRACTIVELY? NO MATTER HOW YOU INSIST IT IS MEANINGFUL, SPEAKING AND DOING FOR SHOW IS MEANINGLESS AND CONTROLLED INSANITY.


You will be crazy to compose live to impress:


If you have committed yourself to impress others you will be crazy to compose live for each occasion because it takes more effort and what you freshly compose is not proven may not be as impressive or even fail or be deemed to be even embarrassing. Thus you will depend on what is well and tried, what you have rendered before that others tell you is impressive.


Further in order to impress others you will have to say or do things that others tell you is impressive, whether consciously or unconsciously they dictate what you say or do and since they tell you what you said or did in the past was impressive, you will be a fool not to memorize it and rehash it so that you can keep being in their ‘good’ books.


APART FROM THE STRAIN OF COMPOSING NEW EACH TIME, YOU RUN THE RISK THAT YOUR FRESHLY COMPOSED SPEECH OR ACTION MAY FAIL TO IMPRESS OR EEVN TURN UP A ‘BLOOPER’, MADE A FOOL OF YOU SO WHY NOT KEEP TO SPEECH AND BEHAVIOR THAT IS WELL TRIED AND TRUSTED TO IMPRESS AND THAT DE FACTO IS REHASHING AND BEING A ROBOT.


Impressing others is false meaning:


Saying or doing something to impress others is never genuine but false meaning because you can say many different things eg talk about your wife, child, car, house, profession with the same purpose or motive to impress others.


For something to have true meaning, what you say or do is what is meant, not to impress others. The substance of what you said or did is what is meant not to impress.


YOU CAN SAY OR DO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS WITH THE SAME PURPOSE OF IMPRESSING OTHERS AND SO IMPRESSING OTHERS IS NOT TRUE SPECIFIC MEANING. IN ANY CASE IMPRESSING OTHERS IS ABOUT STIRRING MENTAL FORCE ATTRACTIVELY, IF YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY STIRRED THE OTHER PERSON’S MENTAL FORCE ATTRACTIVELY TO YOU, YOU HAVE IMPRESSED HIM AND STIRRING BLIND MENTAL FORCE IS MEANINGLESS.


The hazards of rehashing:


Because what is rehashed is intended to impress others and it is reproduced from memory, anything that disrupts the process of retrieval and rehash can create even havoc and the person has performance anxiety, he is fearful that under the glare of attention, the rehashing stream may be broken or he may rehash something that is not quite appropriate and make a fool of himself.


THE PERSON WHO REHASH LIVES IN DREAD THAT THERE MAY BE DISRUPTIONS TO HIS REHASH THAT MAY OCCUR AT INOPPORTUNE MOMENTS OR MOMENTARY LAPSES LIKE STRESS, INEBRIATION MAY AFFECT HIS REHASHING THAT MAY MAKE A FOOL OF HIM.


NO MATTER HOW WELL HONE THERE WILL BE SITUATIONS THAT WILL PUT HIS REHASHING DETERMINATION TO TEST AND THREATEN TO UNRAVEL THEM.


Without transmitting force you cannot impress:


It is the force transmitted in what is said or done that impresses, pleases, intimidates and dominates others.


Without using and transmitting force to the recipient, he cannot be impressed, pleased, intimidated or dominated.


Impressing, pleasing, intimidating and dominating others have nothing to do with reason or meaning because whatever said or done that is intended to impress, please, intimidate or dominate are according to plans that are rehashed without understanding needed, even if understanding was involved in the formulation of the plan (may have been copied without understanding from others), it is not needed to rehash the memorized plan.


IN ORDER TO IMPRESS, PLEASE, INTIMIDATE AND DOMINATE OTHERS WITH WHAT YOU SAY OR DO, YOU HAVE TO STIR THEIR MENTAL FORCES AND ONLY FORCE CAN STIR FORCE AND SO YOU MUST TRANSMIT FORCE TO STIR OTHERS’ MENTAL FORCES.


When you want to impress others, you want to stir their mental forces to be attracted to what you say or do and by extension, you.


When you want to please others, you want to stir their mental forces to be attracted to themselves by what you say or do.


When you want to intimidate others (eg speaking angrily) you want to stir their mental forces to be fearful of you.


When you want to dominate others, you want to impose your mental force to overpower them to become submissive.


Only force can stir force in others and so in order to impress, please, intimidate and dominate others, the crucial ingredient is to transmit force in what you say or do in a way that will stir their mental forces in the desired direction, something that is not always so eg what you think is impressive may not impress him.


Whatever substance in what you say or do to impress, please, intimidate or dominate is secondary, are accessories or excuses dedicated to the primary intent of impressing, pleasing, intimidating and dominating others and even these substances can be copied without understanding from others or even if it is composed with understanding it may be false deluded understanding and once formulated, no more reasoning is necessary to render.


THUS THE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT TO IMPRESSING OTHERS IS TO TRANSMIT FORCE THROUGH PROLONGING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS IN WHAT YOU SAY IN A WAY CALCULATED TO STIR THE LISTENER’S MENTAL FORCE TO BE ATTRACTED TO YOU. ONCE HIS MENTAL FORCE HAS BEEN STIRRED ATTRACTIVELY TO LIKE YOU, YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED IN IMPRESSING HIM. WHATEVER SUBSTANCE YOU SAY THAT MAY DIFFER ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DOES NOT MATTER, IMPRESSING OTHERS IS ALL ABOUT SAYING AND DOING THINGS IN A WAY THAT WILL STIR OTHERS’ MENTAL FORCE TO FIND YOU ATTRACTIVE. THERE IS NO SUREFIRE WAY OF IMPRESSING OTHERS, WHAT IS IMPRESSIVE TO ONE LISTENER MAY NOT BE IMPRESSIVE TO ANOTHER AND EVEN THE SAME LISTENER MAY NOT BE IMPRESSED IF HIS MOOD (PROLONGED EMOTIONAL STATE) IS FOUL.


It is style that makes something impressive:


There is nothing intrinsically impressive about being a doctor, lawyer or president. It is the style that accompanies in terms of how the person dresses or his appearance (eg white clothes, tie, stethoscope dangling), how he does (examines stylishly) and say things (eg use fancy words) that stir gullible people’s mental forces to be attracted or impressed.


There is nothing pleasing about telling a girl she is pretty but it is the style, the way you say it with force prolonging, changing speed and loudness and false substance eg, “Ooooh, yoou’rreee ssooooo ppreeeettttyyyy!!!” that stirs the foolish girl’s mental force to be pleased.


IT IS STYLE THAT MAKES SOMETHING SAID OR DONE IMPRESSIVE AND STYLE IS ALL ABOUT HOW YOU USE FORCE TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH AND THEREFORE IT IS FORCE THAT IS INVOLVED IN IMPRESSING AND BEING IMPRESSED.


Pleasing others is conveying you like them:


Pleasing others is essentially conveying to them that you like them or your mental force is stirred attractively by them.


In order to convey that you like someone you must say things that (always falsely) flatter in a way that indicates that your mental force has been stirred attractively by their presence. This is accomplished by speaking or doing with eagerness or excitement (due to force prolonging accelerating in speed and strength as if you are attracted) that tells the foolish recipient that his presence stirs your excitement or eagerness or enthusiasm.


THUS IF YOU SPEAK OR DO SOMETHING IN A WAY THAT GIVES THE IMPRESSION THAT YOUR MENTAL FORCE IS STIRRED ATTRACTIVELY BY HIS PRESENCE SO THAT HIS MENTAL FORCE IS STIRRED ATTRACTIVELY TOWARDS HIMSELF, YOU HAVE PLEASED HIM. PLEASING IS ALL ABOUT USING FORCE TO STIR THE MENTAL FORCE OF ANOTHER TO BE PLEASED WITH HIMSELF THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MEANING OR NOTHING UNDERSTANDABLE.


CONVERSELY IMPRESSING OTHERS IS TO MAKE THEM LIKE YOU.


A person’s main theme:


Emotional people have a main theme that is consistent in them and differs from others.


Whilst the behaviour of stylish people is for show to impress, please, intimidate and dominate others, each person has a consistent main theme.


For instance, some people are devoted to impressing others, whatever they say or do, how they dress or pose is calculated to impress others that they are likeable, superior and attractive, they want others to be attracted to them.


Yet others are devoted to pleasing others, whatever they say or do is to give an impression they like everybody they meet. They keep smiling and saying or doing things eagerly as if they like you.


Again there are those with a constant scowl or menace in their facial expression and puffed up body that is intended primarily to intimidate and get what they want from others by bullying.


REFLECTING THEY ARE ROBOTS AND MORE RIGID THAN THEY THINK, WHAT IS FOR SHOW FROM STYLISH PEOPLE IS NARROW SPECTRUM, THEY HAVE A THEME OR CERTAIN ACT DEDICATED TO IMPRESS, PLEASE OR INTIMIDATE AND THEY SELDOM STRAY FROM THAT ACT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT IN CHARGE, THEY ARE SLAVES TO THEIR WELL HONE ACTS.


Profiling Malaysia’s PMs:


Dr M is the foremost exponent of those whose show is to impress others and want others to be impressed with them. They do little or nothing to please others and the universe revolves around them and they are what others call egotists. Included in this category in a less obvious way is Najib and his father.


Badawi is more the person who seeks to please others and in this category too will fall Hussein Onn and Tunku Abdul Rahman. What people call nice guys and gals usually fall into this category wanting to please others or appear as if they like you.


Rosmah versus Jeanne:


Rosmah is the epitome of someone who wants to impress and wants others to be impressed with her whilst Jeanne Badawi is the opposite, someone who likes to please others (which was why she was often seen with sunglasses to hide her discomfort with publicity.


It is unlikely if not impossible that a person given to self glorification can truly please others, has any concern for others and so it is virtually anathema for those dedicated to impressing others to stoop to please others and the converse is also true that those dedicated to pleasing others seldom want to impress.


Unrequited or spurned efforts to impress leads to wrath in a person dedicated to impressing others whilst unrequited pleasing leads to feeling hurt.


IN TRUTH NEITHER IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER, IT IS FALSE (DELUDED) AND EVIL TO IMPRESS OR PLEASE OTHERS, BOTH ARE CONTROLLED TORMENT THAT LEADS TO UNCONTROLLED TORMENT.


Two kinds of impressionists & pleasers:


There are two different types of impressionists, people devoted to impressing others and wanting others to be impressed with them.


There is the unabashed conceited egomaniac who thinks very highly of himself (Dr M is in this category) and is thus driven to always want to impress and want others to be impressed with them.


There is another type of impressionist who is inadequate, who must find reassurance in getting others to like them. Because he feels inadequate in himself he seeks to impress others and get upset or hurt if he fails to impress or others are not impressed by him.


Similarly there are two types of ‘pleasers’, there is a type who is submissive and have a subservient urge to please others and there is the manipulative pleaser who will say and do things to please others to get what he wants. He is good at flattering others, good at ‘carrying balls’ in an aggressive confident way not without purpose but to get some reward for his endeavours.


EXACTLY WHETHER A PERSON IS TRYING TO IMPRESS YOU OR PLEASE YOU CAN BE KNOWN, IF YOU CANNOT TELL OR YOU PERCEIVE HE IS TRYING TO PLEASE YOU WHEN HE IS TRYING TO IMPRESS YOU, YOU ARE A FOOL WHO DOES KNOW WHAT HE SEES. IN ADDITION WHETHER THE IMPRESSIONIST IS A SUPREME EGOTIST OR INADEQUATE IMPRESSIONIST, WHETHER HE IS A SERVILE PLEASER OR MOTIVATED PLEASER CAN BE KNOWN TO THE DISCERNING OBSERVER.


PLEASING AND IMPRESSING DO NOT MIX WELL, A PERSON WHO IS AN IMPRESSIONIST SELDOM OR POORLY PLEASES AND VICE VERSA.


Herbert: This is reform?


He sees nothing wrong, thinks he is good but he is committing sin.


He is questioning, driven by dislike or emotion that is blind. What he is trying to say is that he finds what is touted as reform incredulous.


If you see and know it is not reform, then you are right to say, “This is not reform”. He is doubting, using force to question that is fostering doubt and uncertainty in himself and others that leads to future woe, says the Buddha.


Scarred by the fury of a woman:


It is not the fury of a woman that scarred the man but it is the furious woman who did so.


By saying so, you will have to falsely imagine the fury of the woman scarring the man.


The person is trying to be too clever to impress to put his message in a way that stirs emotion.


Tiger Woods A Poor Sport:


Anyone who thinks Tiger Woods is a good man is deluded. He is nasty and will do anything to win. Even hell awaits him and thereafter eternal wanderings.


Quote:


Some have reported that he swore, which I didn’t hear, and stood a few times in Yang’s line of sight, which I didn’t notice. But I did see some episodes of bad behaviour. At the seventeenth, Woods rudely walked to the next tee with half the crowd following and causing a commotion, before Yang had finished the hole. Instead of the hush that he would have preferred, the eventual winner had to putt as if he were on a train station concourse.


Then on the last hole, Woods missed a chip that could have forced a play off. At that point his opponent had two putts from 10 feet to win, a certainty at this level. Tradition and convention dictate that Woods, whose ball was nearer the hole, should nonetheless have played first, leaving the stage for the winner to putt out and receive the acclaim of the crowd. But it didn’t happen that way. Yang putted, holed out and won, and then had to wait while Woods putted again and missed.


The Buddha said there are things that are possible and things that are impossible. It is impossible for an aggressive sportsman like Tiger Woods to be genuinely good, they are only putting on a show of wholesomeness that is easier if they are winning but when thwarted their fangs come out and they will do anything to sabotage, intimidate or make it hard for their opponents.


According to the above, Woods unfairly stood in the line of Yang’s sight, he walked off, drawing the crowd with him disrupting Yang’s unfinished putt and he refused to putt first so that Yang could finish the round as champion.


Jackson’s doctor: The truth shall prevail


Why is the statement false and driven by emotion not reason?


It is false because he has no power to make the truth prevail and so he has no right to say the truth shall prevail (after the enquiry).


What he is trying to say is that he is innocent and that conclusion will prevail.


If he knows he is innocent, then he should say I am innocent or did no wrong, the truth shall prevail is to falsely give the impression that objectively the truth is that he is innocent and by truth prevailing he will be found innocent.


IF THE TRUTH IS THAT HE IS CULPABLE THEN THE TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL WOULD MEAN HE IS FOUND GUILTY BUT IT IS NOT THIS THAT HE HAS IN MIND BUT WHAT HE HAS IN MIND THAT HE WANTS OTHERS TO ACCEPT IS THAT THE TRUTH IS HE IS INNOCENT AND IT SHALL PREVAIL AND VINDICATE HIM. HE HAS NO POWERS TO ENSURE THAT THE TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL AND SO HE IS SPEAKING UNRIGHTEOUSLY. THE MAN WHO IS RIGHTEOUS MERELY SAYS I AM INNOCENT IF HE KNOWS HE IS INNOCENT.


Speak the truth not for truth:


One should speak the truth not for truth.


If you speak the truth then you say you are innocent (if that is true), if you speak FOR truth you say, the truth shall prevail (and vindicate me).


It is dangerous to speak for the truth because you may not see the truth and what you call the truth may not be so. For example you may see your actions in relation to Michael Jackson’s last hour as blameless but the truth may be it is blameworthy. You may perceive falsely that your style and smile is good for you and others when it is the opposite, false and harmful to yourself and others. Thus you are deluded to say the truth is my smile and style is benevolent.


SPEAK THE TRUTH AS YOU SEE IT (AND EVEN THAT COULD BE FALSE), DO NOT SPEAK FOR TRUTH THAT IT SHALL PREVAIL AND WILL VINDICATE YOU BECAUSE NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK FOR TRUTH BUT HE ONLY HAS A RIGHT TO SPEAK FOR HIMSELF WHETHER TRULY OR FALSELY.


EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE THERE, YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW THE TRUTH OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, WHAT YOU PERCEIVE AS THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAPPENED MAY BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT TRULY HAPPENED SO HOW CAN YOU SPEAK FOR THE TRUTH THAT IT WILL VINDICATE YOU?


Not a mystery but simple to understand:


It is not a mystery but simple to understand why impressing, pleasing and intimidating are mutually exclusive and the person becomes dedicated to one but never all of these entities.


When you are impressing others (eg boasting) you cannot be pleasing (making others like themselves) or intimidating them and because impressing, pleasing and intimidating are robotic plans backed by force they are addictive or conditioning so that each time you boast, it reinforces your urge to boast so that in time it becomes frequent and then constant and when impressing becomes constant, there is no room for pleasing or intimidating others. Thus others (spouses or children) must always please people who are boasters or impressionists, they never please others.


WHILST YOU ARE IMPRESSING OTHERS YOU CANNOT BE AT THE SAME TIME PLEASING OR INTIMIDATING THEM AND IF YOU KEEP PRACTICING IMPRESSING OTHERS, IN TIME IT BECOMES CONSTANT AND THEN THERE IS NO ROOM FOR PLEASING OR INTIMIDATING OTHERS AND YOUR LIFE IS ONE BIG BOAST, ONE BIG EGO TRIP, ONLY THE INTENSITY OF BOASTING VARIES AND RATHER THAN UNADULTERATED PLEASURE IT IS CONTROLLED INSANITY THAT WILL END IN UNCONTROLLABLE INSANITY.


National Fatwa Committee: Only Allah decides whether one goes to heaven or hell


It reflects the false logic of those who issue this statement that is intended to refute what Nik Aziz said as false.


The teaching has been declared and based on the teaching, a discerning person can tell who is going to heaven or hell. Therefore just because only Allah decides who goes to heaven or hell does not mean no one else can tell who is going to heaven or hell and therefore the person is speaking falsely.


The Buddha said that such a person is taking a path that will end in hell meaning that by his actions, a discerning being, not necessarily God can predict with CERTAINTY the person is headed for hell.


GOD DOES NOT CUT SPECIAL DEALS WITH ANYONE, BY YOUR WORD AND ACTION YOU WILL BE CONDEMNED OR EXALTED AND SO EVEN IF IT IS ALLAH WHO DECIDES WHETHER YOU GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL, IT IS YOUR WORD AND ACTIONS THAT CONDEMN YOU AND IT IS NOT NECESSARILY ONLY GOD BUT DISCERNING BEINGS CAN ALSO TELL WHO IS GOING TO HEAVEN OR HELL.


The Buddha:


"By encompassing mind with mind I understand a certain person thus: 'This person so behaves, so conducts himself, has taken such a path that on the dissolution of the body, after death, he will reappear in a state of deprivation, in an unhappy destination, in perdition, in hell.' And then later on, with the divine eye, which is purified and surpasses the human, I see that on the dissolution of the body, after death, he has reappeared in a state of deprivation, in an unhappy destination, in perdition, in hell, and is experiencing extremely painful, racking, piercing feelings. Suppose there were a charcoal pit deeper than a man's height full of glowing coals without flame or smoke; and then a man scorched and exhausted by hot weather, weary, parched and thirsty, came by a path going in one way only and directed to that same charcoal pit. Then a man with good sight on seeing him would say: 'This person so behaves, so conducts himself, has taken such a path, that he will come to this same charcoal pit'; and then later on he sees that he has fallen into that charcoal pit and is experiencing extremely painful, racking, piercing feelings. So too, by encompassing mind with mind...piercing feelings.


(EVEN IF IT IS GOD AND NOT BUDDHA THAT SENDS A MAN TO HELL, THE BUDDHA SAYS HE CAN TELL IF A MAN IS HEADED FOR HELL)


You exaggerate to impress or please:


In order to impress others or boast, you exaggerate the importance of whatever you say or do, whatever you experience or are associated with, that you identify with (eg your hobby, your preferred golf). Everything you say or do seems so exciting or fun, whatever happens to you seems so fun, superior & purposeful.


‘I drive a Mercedes’, ‘I live in Damansara Hts’, ‘I am a doctor’, ‘I play golf’ may be just factual statements but it is usually if not always proffered to impress or boast.


‘You’re so pretty, rich, charming’, ‘How are you feeling’, ‘I’m so sorry you were delayed’ are meant to please others.


When you are impressing others, boasting “I drive a Mercedes’ you cannot be at the same time pleasing others “you’re so pretty” and so it is that impressing (boasting) and pleasing are mutually exclusive and if you keep boasting, it is conditioning or addictive so that in time it is automatic that you will seize any occasion to beat your own drum.


YOU CANNOT SAY OR DO SOMETHING TO SIMULTANEOUSLY BOAST, PLEASE OR INTIMIDATE BUT SOMETHING SAID OR DONE IS SPECIFICALLY, EXCLUSIVELY TO BOAST, PLEASE OR INTIMIDATE AND IT IS THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT A BEING BECOMES GOOD AT ONE OF THE TRIAD, BOASTING, PLEASING OR INTIMIDATING BUT NEVER ALL, IN FACT SOME BECOME TOTALLY DEVOTED TO BOASTING (MEGALOMANIACS) WHILST OTHERS BECOME DEVOTED TO PLEASING (SERVILE YES MEN) AND INTIMIDATING (SCOWLING BRUTES).


One cable, no mercy:


‘One cable, no mercy’ is a falsification said to impress or boast.


Dell is marketing a desktop and this slogan is falsely intended to boast or impress (not please). It is not one cable but you need the software to transfer all the data from your old computer to the new one. What has mercy got to do with a total transfer of everything to the new computer? It may not work out so wonderful in practice too.


IF ONE CABLE, NO MERCY IS SAID FALSELY TO BOAST (IMPRESS) AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT ITS INTENT, YOU THINK IT IS TO PLEASE YOU THEN YOU ARE A FOOL WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS SEEING.


A LOT OF THINGS SAID OR DONE ARE NOT TRUE, ARE INTENDED JUST TO IMPRESS (BOAST) AND PLEASE AND IT IS CLEARLY KNOWABLE TO THE DISCERNING PERSON. OFTEN THE FOOL HIMSELF DOES NOT REALIZE HE IS TRYING TO BOAST OR PLEASE. PEOPLE USE BOMBASTIC WORDS JUST TO IMPRESS.
