Central bankers agree to new rules:

Spain confirms its labour reforms.

The above headlines are measures to combat and revert the world economy to health but they are excuses and denial of the true causes of the collapse.

It is not because there are insufficient rules that there was a disaster but there was gross abuse and lax even nonexistent policing by authorities. Surely you don’t need rules to tell you subprime loans are mad and banks should not hide excessive loans in under the table entities and no one should borrow short term to lend long term?

It is not so much poor labor practices that led to the crisis but corruption and plunder by politicians and their cronies that have brought the system to a crunch.

YOU HAVE FALSE PERCEPTION IF YOU WOULD THINK THAT SUCH MEASURES ANNOUNCED ARE CORRECT PRESCRIPTIONS FOR THE CRISIS BUT THEY ARE EXCUSES, BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE. THE TOP FINANCIAL CROOKS WERE LEFT OFF THE HOOK, NOT BROUGHT TO ACCOUNT AND EVEN NOW SPECULATORS ARE ALLOWED TO USE BORROWED MONEY OR DEPOSITORS MONEY TO SPECULATE IN OIL, RAW MATERIALS AND EVEN FOREX. WHEN THEY LOSE THEY LEAVE THE PUBLIC TO PICK UP THEIR DEBTS, WHEN THEY WIN THEY POCKET THE PROFITS AND REFUSE TO PAY TAXES AS TAX CUTS IN AMERICA SHOWS.

Productivity is no match for profligacy:

All the streamlining of labour to increase productivity is no match for the squandering profligacy of ruling politicians, their cronies, avaricious bankers and CEOs and so seeking redress by through labour reforms will be dwarfed by the excesses and plundering of the wealthy and powerful.

Kevin Rudd is 'our prime minister in exile'

It is never truth or understanding that is the basis of the statement but it is emotion (force) and refusal to accept reality.

Reflecting their wrong understanding, what is stated is never harmless but deadly because it does not reflect reality, Rudd is no longer PM nor PM in exile and by refusing to accept reality you are training yourself to reject reality or truth and embrace make belief that will end in mad perception.

DO NOT THINK LIGHTLY OR THINK EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO HIS OPINION, KEVIN RUDD IS NOT THE PM NOR PM IN EXILE AND SO THE PERSON IS TRAINING HIMSELF TO REFUSE TO ACCEPT REALITY OR TRUTH THAT WILL END IN TORMENT AND HE HAS KARMA FOSTERING THE SAME IN OTHERS.

Just a progressive negation of the usual state of mind, nothing mystical:

There are gurus and mystics of various persuasions who have spoken (boasted) of exalted or mystic states of the mind that they have experienced or are privy to which they never clearly defined nor stated how to achieve and these are likely false or misleading or hallucinations (distortions of their mental states they claim to be blissful like LSD users tout their drug induced altered states of mind) because they do not encompass the higher states the Buddha described and they have not achieved the first higher state, serenity of mind and body through absent style that is the requisite to progress to even higher states of minds.

There is nothing fantastical or mystical about the higher states of mind that the Buddha described which are clearly defined as such and such and how to achieve them, these higher states of minds the Buddha described are merely progressive negations of the ordinary states of the mind that increasingly releases the attaining being from suffering and results in clearer vision, even many eternities of bliss in heaven and is the path that must be taken for a being to be fully awakened or become enlightened.

UNLESS YOU PERCEIVE (FALSELY) THAT THE ORDINARY STRESSED, RESTLESS, DISTRACTED CONSTANTLY THINKING, LIKING AND DISLIKING PAIN AND PLEASURE EXPERIENCING STATE OF THE MIND IS TRUE, IMMUTABLE, INESCAPABLE AND TRUE THEN WHAT THE BUDDHA TELLS YOU IS THAT THE ORDINARY STATE OF THE MIND, THOUGH TIGHTLY ENFORCED AND HARD TO ESCAPE, IS FALSE & CAN BE PROGRESSIVELY OVERCOME TO ACHIEVE INCREASINGLY EXALTED SUFFERING FREE STATES OF THE MIND.

THERE IS NOTHING MYSTICAL OR FANCIFUL ABOUT THE HIGHER STATES OF MIND THAT THE BUDDHA DESCRIBED, THEY ARE MERELY THE POSSIBLE PROGRESSIVE NEGATIONS OF THE ORDINARY STATES OF THE MIND AND WHAT THE BUDDHA ALSO IMPLIES IS THAT WITHOUT ACHIEVING FIRST THE FIRST HIGHER STATES OF THE MIND, NO ONE CAN ACHIEVE THE SUBSEQUENT HIGHER STATES OF MIND.

UNLESS YOU BELIEVE (NEVER TRULY PERCEIVE OR KNOW) THAT PAIN AND PLEASURE IS INEVITABLE, INESCAPABLE, WHAT THE BUDDHA TELLS YOU IS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO TRAIN YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS TO TOTALLY IGNORE AND NOT EXPERIENCE PAIN AND PLEASURE AND THAT IS THE FOURTH HIGHEST STATE OF MIND THAT ACCORDS THE BEING THE HIGHEST HAPPINESS AND IS THE PATH TO EVEN 500 ETERNITIES OR AGES IN HEAVENLY BLISS. BUT YOU CANNOT ATTAIN NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE WITHOUT FIRST ACHIEVING NEITHER LIKING NOR DISLIKING.

UNLESS YOU BELIEVE (NEVER TRULY PERCEIVE OR KNOW) THAT LIKE AND DISLIKE OR THE ATTRACTIVE AND REPULSIVE STIRRING OF YOUR MENTAL FORCE AT EVENTS IS INEVITABLE, INESCAPABLE, WHAT THE BUDDHA TELLS YOU IS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO TRAIN YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS TO TOTALLY NOT STIR YOUR MENTAL FORCE TO LIKE OR DISLIKE WHATEVER IS HAPPENING AND THAT IS THE THIRD HIGHER STATE OF MIND THAT ACCORDS THE BEING HAPPINESS (COMPARED TO ONE WHO LIKES AND DISLIKES) AND IS THE PATH TO EVEN 4 ETERNITIES OR AGES IN HEAVENLY BLISS. BUT YOU CANNOT ATTAIN NEITHER LIKING NOR DISLIKING WITHOUT FIRST ACHIEVING ONE POINTEDNESS OF MIND WITHOUT THINKING.

UNLESS YOU BELIEVE (NEVER TRULY PERCEIVE OR KNOW) THAT THINKING IS INEVITABLE, INESCAPABLE, WHAT THE BUDDHA TELLS YOU IS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO TRAIN YOUR MIND SUCH THAT IT BECOMES ONE POINTED WITHOUT THINKING AND THAT IS THE SECOND HIGHER STATE OF MIND THAT ACCORDS THE BEING HAPPINESS (COMPARED TO ONE WHO THINKS ALL THE TIME) AND IS THE PATH TO EVEN 2 ETERNITIES OR AGES IN HEAVENLY BLISS. BUT YOU CANNOT ATTAIN ONE POINTEDNESS OF MIND WITHOUT THINKING WITHOUT FIRST ACHIEVING SERENITY OF MIND AND BODY.

UNLESS YOU BELIEVE (NEVER TRULY PERCEIVE OR KNOW) THAT THE ORDINARY EMOTIONAL STRESSED, RESTLESS AND DISTRACTED STATE OF THE MIND IS INEVITABLE, INESCAPABLE, WHAT THE BUDDHA TELLS YOU IS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION (BY ELIMINATING STYLE OR THE USE OF FORCE TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH) AND THAT IS THE FIRST HIGHER STATE OF MIND THAT ACCORDS THE BEING HAPPINESS (COMPARED TO ONE WHO ARE STRESSED ALL THE TIME) AND IS THE PATH TO 1 ETERNITY OR AGE IN HEAVENLY BLISS.

Why the Buddha is correct:

No one except the Buddha has taught you clearly that there are increasingly exalted states of the mind that can be achieved and described them in order of ascending exaltedness.

I KNOW THE BUDDHA IS CORRECT BECAUSE I HAVE ATTAINED THE FIRST HIGHER STATE OF MIND (SERENITY OF MIND AND BODY), CAN STOP THINKING AT WILL FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AND INCREASINGLY NEITHER LIKE NOR DISLIKE WHATEVER I EXPERIENCE AND CAN EVEN TUNE OUT PAIN AND PLEASURE. FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE I KNOW THE NON-THINKING STATE IS SUPERIOR IN REDUCED SUFFERING AND CLARITY COMPARED TO THE THINKING STATE.

THERE ARE NO HIGHER STATES OF THE MIND EXCEPT THOSE DESCRIBED BY THE BUDDHA WHICH ARE MERELY PROGRESSIVE NEGATIONS OF THE USUAL STATE OF THE MIND AND SO UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THE USUAL TORMENTING STYLISH FORCEFUL STATE OF THE MIND IS SACROSANCT THEN IF THEY CAN BE CIRCUMVENTED THEN THEIR CIRCUMVENTION AUTOMATICALLY GIVES THE BEING THE HIGHER STATES OF THE MIND THAT THE BUDDHA TAUGHT.

CIRCUMVENT STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION BY ELIMINATING THE CONSTANT USE OF FORCE TO FABRICATE STYLE OR CONSTANT PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH AND YOU AUTOMATICALLY GET THE FIRST HIGHER STATE OF THE MIND, CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL.

FOR A BEING WHO IS A CONSTANT SLAVE TO THINKING, ACHIEVE ONE POINTED OF MIND WITH NO THINKING AND THAT IS THE SECOND HIGHER STATE OF MIND, CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL. IF YOUR MENTAL FORCE IS NEITHER STIRRED ATTRACTIVELY NOR REPULSIVELY BY WHATEVER IS HAPPENING THEN YOU ARE TRULY NEITHER LIKING NOR DISLIKING AND THAT IS THE THIRD HIGHER STATE ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA.

IF YOU CONSTANTLY EXPERIENCE PAIN AND PLEASURE THEN IF YOU CAN TUNE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS TO TOTALLY NOT RECEIVE FORCE (FORCE IS THE INGREDIENT OF PLEASURE AND PAIN, WITHOUT EXPERIENCING FORCE YOU CANNOT EXPERIENCE PLEASURE OR PAIN) THEN YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THE FOURTH HIGHEST STATE OF THE MIND.

THERE ARE NO HIGHER MENTAL STATES EXCEPT THOSE DESCRIBED BY THE BUDDHA AND SO WHATEVER HIGHER STATES CLERICS OR MYSTICS BOAST THAT DO NOT FALL UNDER THOSE CATEGORIES THE BUDDHA DESCRIBED ARE DELUSIONS OR HALLUCINATIONS OR DISTORTIONS OF THE CONSCIOUS STATE.

Altered and higher states of the mind:

There is the ordinary state of the mind as experienced by all beings here and it is emotional beset with constantly renewing insoluble stress, restlessness and distraction that is tormenting and threaten to drive the being up the wall to homicide or suicide.

There are altered states of the mind that can be chemically induced eg by LSD, marihuana or force driven meditation like TM or yoga. These states are not fruitful, may result in temporary relative respite from suffering and suspension of reality but they are dangerous and may result in insanity later.

There are the 4 higher states of the mind as described by the Buddha and there are no higher states apart from what the Buddha described.

Call your mental state what you will, even if you and everyone here cannot achieve it, if a being has attained serenity of mind and body through freedom from stress, restlessness and distraction that can only come about by eliminating style, by not using force to constantly stretch, change speed and strength, he has achieved the first higher state of mind.

BECAUSE GURUS AND MYSTICS HAVE MANIFEST STYLE, THEY SPEAK AND MOVE WITH CONSTANT UNNECESSARY USE OF FORCE TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH, THEY HAVE NOT EVEN ACHIEVED THE FIRST HIGHER STATE OF MIND LET ALONE THAT THE MYSTICAL STATES OF THEIR MINDS THEY BOAST ABOUT CAN BE GENUINE OR TRUE AND LEADS TO BLISS.

WITHOUT FIRST ACHIEVING THE FIRST HIGHER THEN PROGRESSING TO THE SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH HIGHER STATES OF MIND WHICH LEAD TO PROGRESSIVELY EXTENDED AND MORE BLISSFUL EXISTENCE IN HEAVEN, A PERSON CANNOT BE ENLIGHTENED. WHEN THE BUDDHA FINALLY PASSED AWAY HE ELEVATED THEN DESCENDED AND AGAIN ELEVATED HIS MIND THROUGH THE HIGHER STATES OF THE MIND BEFORE FINALLY TOTALLY PASSING AWAY.

The usual mental state:

Emotional stylish people like (their mental force that is blind and meaningless is stirred attractively at the thought) to think their mental states are superior to others but they are deluded.

There is one overriding criteria that describes the usual mental state, no matter how pious or intellectual the person is.

SO LONG AS A PERSON MANIFESTLY HAS STYLE, HE USES FORCE CONSTANTLY TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS HE MUST SUFFER FROM CONSTANTLY RENEWING INSOLUBLE TOTALLY UNNECESSARY STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE AND HE HAS THE USUAL MENTAL STATE OF ORDINARY PEOPLE TRAPPED HERE. WHATEVER DIFFERENCES IN CONSCIOUSNESS STATE WITH OTHER EMOTIONAL PEOPLE IS A DIFFERENCE IN STYLE NOT SUBSTANCE.

BOAST ABOUT YOUR SUPERIOR MENTAL STATE BUT SO LONG AS YOU HAVE STYLE, YOU HAVE THE ORDINARY STRESSED MENTAL STATE.

TO HAVE CONSTANT STYLE LIKE EVERYONE HERE AND TO SHED YOUR STYLE IS TO BE TRULY BORN AGAIN IN SPIRIT AND THAT IS THE WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN.

Japan moves to combat rising yen:

Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda confirms that Japan has interfered in the money markets to weaken the yen, after it hit a 15-year high against the dollar.

Without speculators plying the forex markets, the yen may not have moved to such extreme levels that threaten and harm countries. These speculators may be wealthy hedge funds, big banks using people’s money deposited to play or gamble rather than lend out.

Such rises have losers which may be governments or people as well as winners. When bankers win they reward themselves with fat bonuses but when they lose they turn to governments and thence to public to bail them out.

EVEN NOW SPECULATORS AND BANKERS ARE SPECULATING TO MAKE PROFITS FOR THEMSELVES IN THE FOREX MARKET DESTABILIZING THE ECONOMY AND SHOULD THEY LOSE THEY PASS THE SHIT TO THE PUBLIC.

Microsoft borrowing billions to pay dividends:

There are rumours that Microsoft is trying to borrow many billions to pay its dividends saying that their assets are tied overseas and they are borrowing so as not to disturb them.

MICROSOFT IS BORROWING BILLIONS TO THE MAXIMUM LIMIT WITHOUT LOWERING ITS AAA RATING TO PAY DIVIDENDS. IT MAY BE A SIGN OF STRESS FOR MICROSOFT.

Mental force is the arbiter of mental state:

It is a person’s mental force that is the arbiter of the person’s mental state that has five states according to the Buddha.

When a person’s mental force holds full sway, constantly madly violently acting to prolong, change speed and strength be it in perception, thinking, speaking and doing, the person is beset by a miasma of stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate that determines his low ordinary mental state.

Should he train himself and successfully rid himself of style or the use of force to stretch, change speed and strength, he is released from stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate and he automatically achieves the first higher state of mind, serenity of mind and body with discursive thinking.

Whether stylish or style free, it is force that powers all thinking and so a person who can stop thinking at will to achieve one pointedness of his mind has further dissociated himself from force and that automatically is the second higher state of mind.

If he can further achieve no attractive or repulsive stirring of his mental force to like or dislike whatever happens, he has further dissociated himself from force and that automatically is the third higher mental state.

If he finally tunes his mind to not experience force so that there can be no pain or pleasure, that is the fourth higher state of mind. It is mild to moderate force impacting (eg gentle breeze, gentle or light force touch of a woman) that gives pleasure and without intense force there can be no pain.

IT IS NOT HOW SMART OR SAVVY OR HIGH STATUS YOU ARE THAT DETERMINES YOUR STATE OF THE MIND BUT IT IS A PERSON’S BLIND MENTAL FORCE THAT IS THE DICTATOR AND THE MORE ONE IS DIVORCED FROM FORCE THE HIGHER HIS MENTAL STATE.

Lip service

Shouldn't Americans adopt the British stiff upper lip?

Here is a BBC columnist and he is deluded and a robot talking nonsense.

By stiff upper lip it means to bottle and not express one’s emotions.

It is a programming, social conditioning and a standard attitude to be memorized and practiced repeatedly so that it can be applied well to situations.

It is evil and suffering to have emotions pertaining to an event and it is even more tormenting to hide or adopt a stiff upper lip and he is advocating a person become a robot of the stiff upper lip program and that is karma for him.

Of what use is it to adopt a stiff or loose upper lip? It is a blind indiscriminate programming that does not distinguishes between situations to ‘let go’ and situations to ‘restraint’.

IT IS TOTALLY MEANINGLESS AND NOT SUPERIOR TO HAVE A STIFF UPPER LIP WHICH IS AN INDISCRIMINATE PROGRAMMING AND THE PERSON IS AN ACTOR OR ROBOT OF STIFF UPPER LIP. THUS HE AND YOU PERCEIVES NOTHING WRONG, THINKS HE TALKS SENSE WHEN IT IS NONSENSE AND HE IS HEADED FOR TORMENT TOGETHER WITH THOSE WHO SEE NOTHING WRONG.

Pick your poison:

The difference between being stiff upper lipped and hysterical is the difference between tension and conditioning not between superior and inferior as people perceive in delusion.

To be stirred emotionally by events and not show it is to use force to hide and resist and that creates conflict or tension apart from lying to self and others with karma attached.

On the other hand if you were to be unfettered, to allow your emotions free rein then it too is suffering and you are also conditioning yourself to be emotional or hysterical that becomes worse and hard to control with age.

PICK YOUR POISON, SO LONG AS A PERSON PARTAKES IN EMOTIONS, IT IS NO BETTER BEING STOIC THAN UNRESTRAINED EMOTIONALLY.

The significant achievements of no thinking:

Ordinary emotional stylish people who are biological robots and even those with the first higher state of mind, serenity of mind and body cannot stop thinking even if they wanted and to be able to stop thinking at will is a significant clearly defined achievement.

When a person has attained the ability to stop thinking at will he has become truly a master of himself, he is the boss who decides when to think and when to stop whereas the person who cannot stop thinking is not a boss except in his delusion he is.

There are two attainments in stopping thinking. Firstly, he uses less force because thinking always requires force and to stop thinking is to stop using mental force. Secondly he has become truly a master of himself in some way in that he can decide for himself when to think and when to stop.

Thinking is a distraction in emotional people, their thinking is always done in association with some activity and this thinking divides or scatters the concentration of the mind and so with the stopping of thinking, his mind becomes unified or one pointed as the Buddha said.

THE BUDDHA CAN ALSO THINK LIKE EMOTIONAL PEOPLE DO BUT HIS THINKING IS NOT A DISTRACTION BUT FULLY ATTENTIVE. WHEN THE BUDDHA THINKS, HIS CONCENTRATION AND AWARENESS IS FULLY DEVOTED TO THAT THINKING WHICH IS NOT A DISTRACTION AS IT IS IN EMOTIONAL PEOPLE.

Dissociation from force in degree:

The emotional stylish person who is constantly using totally unnecessary force to stretch (eg syllables), change speed and strength is totally, 100% bonded to force and that is the lowest state of consciousness.

The person who has shed style, who does not stretch his syllables, change speed and loudness when speaking is 25% dissociated from force and this is the first higher state of mind that accords him 1 eternity in heaven.

The person who can stop thinking at will is 50% dissociated from force, he can further stop using force by stopping his thinking which requires use of force and his mastery of his mind accords him 2 eternities in heaven.

The person whose mental force is able to be not stirred attractively or repulsively by whatever is happening around him or to him is 75% dissociated from force (he still experiences pain and pleasure which requires experiencing force) and he is higher and is headed for 4 eternities in heaven.

The person who experiences pain nor pleasure is totally divorced from force. The essential ingredient of pleasure (eg ‘gentle’ breeze, light touch, warmth of sun, taste from chemical reaction and force released) is force, it is usually but always mild to moderate force on contact that gives pleasure just as it is contact with intense force that gives pain. Thus the person who neither feels pain nor pleasure is 100% divorced from force and without force there cannot be death and so he has the longest lifespan of all, 500 eternities in heavenly bliss.

IT IS FORCE THAT CAUSES SUFFERING AND DEATH. WITHOUT FORCE THERE CAN BE NO DEATH.

HENCE THE PERSON WHO HAS REACHED THE 4^TH HIGHEST STATE OF MIND WHEREIN HE EXPERIENCES NEITHER PAIN (DUE TO FORCE) NOR PLEASURE (A PRODUCT OF MILD FORCE) IS TOTALLY DIVORCED OR 100% FREE OF FORCE WHICH IS WHY HE HAS THE LONGEST LIFESPAN BY FAR, 500 ETERNITIES.

THE PERSON WHO NEITHER LIKES NOR DISLIKE IS 25% EXPOSED TO FORCE BY EXPERIENCING PAIN AND PLEASURE AND HE IS HEADED FOR 4 ETERNITIES IN HEAVEN.

THE PERSON WHO CAN STOP THINKING IS 50% EXPOSED TO FORCE (IN LIKING & DISLIKING AND EXPERIENCING PAIN AND PLEASURE).

THE PERSON WHO HAS SHED STYLE IS 75% EXPOSED TO FORCE.

THE STYLISH EMOTIONAL PERSON IS 100% EXPOSED TO AND FETTERED TO FORCE.
