Jesus speaks of the coming of another counsellor:

Jesus speaks of the coming of another counsellor:
Jesus: "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you.
"These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit (the counselor is the holy spirit), whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me; and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.
But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world (mankind) is judged (when the counselor comes, the Age is coming to a close).
"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now (a consciousness change after 1977 made it possible for people to understand what they could not before). When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority (he appears to be someone speaking on his own authority), but whatever he hears he will speak and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

How to attain eternal life for 1-500 world cycles:

How to attain eternal life for 1-500 world cycles:
Below the Buddha describes the path to eternal life for 1-500 forward world cycles:

3. Pañhamananakaraõasuttaü - The first on diversity.

013.03. Bhikkhus, these four persons are evident in the world. What four?
Here, bhikkhus, a certain person secluding from sensual desires and demeritorious thoughts, with thoughts and discursive thoughts and with joy and pleasantness born of seclusion attains to the first higher state of mind (that means no style, no constant mad use of force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness). Enjoying it, longing for it, he attains prosperity in it. Keenly applying himself to it, making much of it and not decreasing from it, he dies and is born with the gods of the sphere of Brahma (The Father). The life span of those gods is a forward world cycle. Finishing his complete life span there, he would either be born in hell, as a beast, or as a ghost. As for the noble disciples of The Blessed One, they would finish the complete life span there and would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and diversity between the learned noble disciple and the not learned ordinary man in their course of action, birth and conscience
Again, bhikkhus, a certain person overcoming thoughts and discursive thoughts and internally appeasing the mind making it one pointed without thoughts and discursive thoughts and with joy and pleasantness born of concentration attains to the second higher state of mind. Enjoying it, longing for it he attains prosperity in it. Keenly applying himself to it, making much of it, not decreasing from it he dies and is born with the gods of Radiance. The life span of those gods is two forward world cycles. Finishing his complete life span there, he would either be born in hell, as a beast, or as a ghost. As for the noble disciples of The Blessed One, they would finish the complete life span there and would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and diversity between the learned noble disciple and the not learned ordinary man in their course of action, birth and conscience
Again, bhikkhus, a certain person with equanimity to joy and detachment abides mindfull and aware experiencing pleasantness with the body tooòo this the noble ones say mindfull abiding in pleasantness with equanimity (neither stirring mental force to like nor dislike). He attains to this third higher state of mind. Enjoying it, longing for it he attains prosperity in it. Keenly applying himself to it, making much of it and not decreasing he dies and is born with the lustrous gods. The life span of those gods is four forward world cycles. Finishing his complete life span there, he would either be born in hell, as a beast, or as a ghost. As for the noble disciples of The Blessed One, they would finish the complete life span there and would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and diversity between the learned noble disciple and the not learned ordinary man in their course of action, birth and conscience
Again, bhikkhus, a certain person dispelling pleasantness and unpleasantness, and earlier having dispelled pleasure and displeasure without unpleasantness and pleasantness (neither pain nor pleasure) and purifying mindfulness with equanimity attains to the fourth higher state of mind. Enjoying it, longing for it he attains prosperity in it. Keenly applying himself to it, making much of it and not decreasing he dies and is born with the gods of Space. The life span of those gods is five hundred forward world cycles. Finishing his complete life span there, he would either be born in hell, as a beast, or as a ghost. As for the noble disciples of The Blessed One, they would finish the complete life span there and would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and diversity between the learned noble disciple and the not learned ordinary man in their course of action, birth and conscience
How long is a world cycle?
3. Sitting on a side the monk said to the Blessed One: ßVenerable sir, how long is a world cycle?û
4. ßMonk, a world cycle is very long and it is not easy to innumerate it as, `it's this amount of years' or `this amount of hundred years,' or `this amount of thousand years,' or `this amount of hundred thousand years'.û
5. ßVenerable sir, is it possible to give a comparison?û
6. The Blessed One said: ßPossible. Monk, in a poor city there is a block of mustard seeds seven miles by the length, breath and the height bound together by the roots. After the lapse of one hundred years a man comes and takes out one of the seeds. By this method the mustard seeds diminish and vanish but the world cycle does not come to an end.
7. ßMonk, so long is the world cycle. Many of these world cycles make a several world cycle and a collection of a hundred of the several world cycles make a several hundred world cycle and a collection of a thousand of the several world cycles make a several thousand world cycle and a collection of a hundred thousand of the several world cycles make a several hundred thousand world cycle.
8. ßWhat is the reason? Monks, without an end is the train of existence, a beginning cannot be pointed out of beings enveloped in ignorance and bound by craving, running from one existence to another.
ßMonks, it is suitable that you should turn away from all determinations, fade and be released from them.û
How many world cycles have there been?
3. Sitting on a side, the Brahmin said to the Blessed One: ßGood Gotama, has a large number of world cycles gone by and finished?û
4. ßBrahmin, a large number of world cycles have gone by, it is not easy to innumerate them as, it's this amount of world cycles,' or `this amount of hundred world cycles,' or `this amount of thousand world cycles,' or `this amount of hundred thousand world cycles'.û
5. ßGood Gotama, is it possible to give a comparison?û
6. The Blessed One said: ßPossible. Brahmin, the river Ganges from its source until it enters the ocean holds sand and pebbles and it is not easy to innumerate the sand as it is `this amount of grains of sand.' Or as `this much hundred grains of sand,' or `this much thousand grains of sand' or `this much hundred thousand grains of sand.'
7. ßIndeed brahmin, a large number of world cycles have gone by, it is not easy to innumerate them as, `it's this amount of world cycles,' or `this amount of hundred world cycles,' or `this amount of thousand world cycles,' or `this amount of hundred thousand world cycles.'

'No evidence' in Afghan massacre

'No evidence' in Afghan massacre
A lawyer for Robert Bales, the US soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians, says there is little evidence against his client.
Many think they are very clever but they are very stupid. What matters is not if there is no evidence but whether he did it or not and so he should state his client did not do it.
You mean even if he did it, if there is no evidence he is innocent?
THERE IS AN OBJECTIVE REALITY THAT APPLIES TO EVERYONE INCLUDING LAWYERS UNLESS YOU WANT TO SUFFER IN THE FUTURE DESPITE EARNING FAT LEGAL FEES. NO EVIDENCE IS IRRELEVANT, WHAT MATTERS IS WHETHER HE DID OR DID NOT DO IT AND SO HE SHOULD STATE WHETHER HIS CLIENT DID OR DID NOT DO IT, NOT NO EVIDENCE. HE IS SETTING HIMSELF UP FOR FUTURE INSANITY AND SUFFERING SPEAKING THUS.
No evidence? Think again:
Bullets fired can be recovered and if they match the gun he was carrying then that is definite evidence he is responsible. Further he was recorded returning from his foray and this is circumstantial evidence he may be involved.
OFTEN IF NOT ALWAYS IT IS NEVER GENUINE REASON THAT IS THE BASIS OF PEOPLE’S UTTERANCE BUT IT IS THE LACK OF REASON AND EMOTIONAL PARTIALITY THAT LEAD THEM TO SPEAK FALSELY THEY THINK IS INFALLIBLE.
BULLETS THAT KILLED CAN BE MATCHED TO HIS RIFLE AND IF THEY MATCH THAT IS IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE HE IS INVOLVED AND HE IS SPEAKING FALSELY SAYING NO EVIDENCE IN DANGER OF TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT EVEN HELL.
'Errors' made in Megaupload raid
It is only possible to make errors in the raid if there is a plan or protocol of what should have been done or the raid should have been conducted according to plans in which those involved are merely robots carrying out the plan.
HERE IS EVIDENCE AGAIN THINGS IN THIS WORLD ARE DONE ACCORDING TO PLANS IN WHICH PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE MERELY ROBOTS EXECUTING THE PLANS APPROXIMATELY OR PRECISELY.
YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT WHAT IS POINTED OUT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO TRUE UNDERSTANDING AND THERE IS NOTHING AT STAKE MATERIALLY FOR YOU BUT IN TERMS OF FUTURE EVEN ETERNAL SUFFERING THE MATTER I REFER TO IS OF CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE BECAUSE EXISTENCE HERE IS ENTIRELY ROBOTIC AND IT IS THE WAY TO ETERNAL SUFFERING.
Op-Ed Columnist: Pity the Poor Gun Lobby
What is said is always sarcastic and that means it is not meant but hypocritical.
No man of true understanding speaks of pity which is a meaningless stirring of a person’s mental force to be sad in sympathy with the plight of another. Often this sympathetic sadness is faked not genuine and even if it is genuine it is a useless stirring of mental force that is controlled insanity.
Poor means lack of wealth and it is not this that she is referring to but by ‘poor’ she means condescension as if the gun lobby deserves sympathy or emotional patronage as downtrodden.
WHETHER THE GUN LOBBY IS DOWNTRODDEN TO DESERVE YOUR ‘POOR’ ACCOLADE IS OBJECTIVE AND IF IT DOES NOT YOU ARE SPEAKING FALSELY TO MOCK.
NO MAN OF TRUE UNDERSTANDING SPEAKS OF PITY AND ‘POOR’ WHICH ARE MEANINGLESS PRODUCTS OF A BLIND, USELESS HARMFUL STIRRING OF MENTAL FORCE.
SUCH SPEECH HAS DEADLY CONSEQUENCES IN TERMS OF FUTURE SUFFERING IN REPAYMENT BECAUSE IT IS A FORM OF HYPOCRISY.
Why should anyone pity the gun lobby?
If there is no valid reason for anyone to pity the gun lobby and it is not poor as touted then you are courting insanity speaking so.
WHY SHOULD ANYONE STIR HIS MENTAL FORCE DOING NO USEFUL WORK JUST TO PITY OR SYMPATHIZE WITH THE ‘POOR’ GUN LOBBY? IF THERE IS NO VALID REASON THEN YOU ARE TALKING NONSENSE THAT LEADS TO INSANITY.
WHAT IS SO POOR OR PITY-ABLE ABOUT THE GUN LOBBY?
IF THERE IS NO REASON FOR PEOPLE TO PITY THE GUN LOBBY AND THERE IS NOTHING POOR ABOUT IT THEN YOU ARE SPEAKING OUTRAGEOUSLY ASKING FOR SUFFERING IN REPAYMENT AND THE FACT THAT YOU THINK YOU HAVE A CASE REFLECTS INTENSE DELUSION.
RBA 'mishandled boom'
ELI GREENBLAT 11:20am Retail mogul Solomon Lew believes the Reserve Bank board should cut interest rates immediately
The rationale of cutting interest rates when an economy is slowing is to boost borrowing, make it cheaper to borrow so as to support the economy. This means you are trying to sustain a boom by increasing debt that ultimately must be repaid. Cheaper rates encourages borrowings that are largely used for consumption that is unproductive and will not generate wealth to repay the borrowing and so the longer you sustain an economy by boosting debt the worst the final reckoning.
PEOPLE EXPECT THEIR POLITICAL LEADERS TO KEEP THE ECONOMY BOOMING AND POLITICIANS IN THEIR EFFORT TO STAY IN POWER AND AVOID BLAME, TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT BY CUTTING RATES TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY.
BUT IT IS SUICIDAL ON THE LONG RUN TO CUT INTEREST RATES BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO SUSTAIN A BOOM BY BOOSTING DEBT OR BORROWING WHICH ARE LARGELY SPENT ON GOODS THAT GIVE LITTLE OR NO RETURNS (YOUR CAR OR HOUSE WILL NOT GENERATE INCOME TO REPAY ITSELF) AND NO MATTER HOW YOU MAY POSTPONE REPAYMENT, IT MUST ULTIMATELY OCCUR AND SO IF YOU HAVE PILED UP A MOUNTAIN OF DEBT AS A RESULT OF BORROWING BECAUSE OF CHEAP RATES, THEN WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR REPAYMENT, BANKRUPCY AND DEPRESSION IS LIKELY.
YOU THINK MANKIND UNDERSTANDS FINANCE AND ECONOMICS. YOU MAY BE RIGHT OR DELUDED.
You should not even use savings to boost economy:
Would you use your savings to boost the economy just because it is slowing down?
It is mad even to use savings to boost an economy because you are wasting your savings. It is even madder to boost debt by cutting rates to encourage borrowings to boost the economy.
Increasing spending and boosting borrowing to support an economy is called tampering and it makes mockery of the claim of a free economy. Thus it is hypocrisy to call western economies (and markets) free.
IF YOU TRULY UNDERSTOOD WHAT IS TRANSPIRING IN WESTERN MARKETS AND ECONOMIES THEN YOU CANNOT CLAIM THEY ARE FREE MARKETS AND ECONOMIES BECAUSE THEY ARE TAMPERED OR MANIPULATED MARKETS AND ECONOMIES WITH DELUSION OF TRYING TO MAINTAIN A ‘GOLDILOCKS’ STATE.
To yourself be true:
It is impossible for someone to be true to himself if he is not true to others. It reflects delusion that people think it is possible to be untrue to others and nevertheless to be true to themselves privately.
WHEN YOU LIE TO OTHERS YOU ARE ALSO LYING TO YOURSELF AND THOUGH INITIALLY YOU MAY KNOW WHAT YOU SAID IS FALSE, BECAUSE YOU WILLED YOURSELF IT IS TRUE, GRADUALLY IMPERCEPTIBLY YOU HAVE TO LIE TO YOURSELF WHAT YOU LIED TO OTHERS IS TRUE. FURTHER YOU CANNOT ACCEPT WHAT YOU LIED IS FALSE AND YOU MUST LIE TO YOURSELF WHAT YOU LIED IS TRUE AND THAT MEANS YOU CANNOT BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.
IT IS A FLIGHT OF FANCY THAT YOU CAN BE TRUE TO YOURSELF AND BE FALSE TO OTHERS.
Do others need you to tell them to be true to themselves?
If it is possible for a person to be true to himself privately whilst he is false to others publicly, and it is lovely and good to be true to yourself do you think others need you to tell them to do so?
It is because it is difficult if not impossible for a person to be true to himself if he is false to others that you have to falsely tell others to do so.
FALSITY TO OTHERS IS DRIVEN BY WILL OR FORCE OR DETERMINATION AND A PERSON WHO IS FALSE TO OTHERS BECOME FORCEFULLY TOTALLY DEVOTED TO FALSITY AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT SUCH A PERSON CAN BE TRUE TO HIMSELF PRIVATELY BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE TO CONFRONT WITH HIS UGLINESS, HIS CONCEALED LONG FANGS.
BEING TRUE TO ONESELF IS THE ONLY WAY TO PEACE OF MIND AND TRUE SANITY AND PEOPLE DO NOT NEED YOU TO TELL THEM WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEM IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO LEAD A DOUBLE LIFE OF FALSITY TO OTHERS AND TRUTH TO DEAR SELF.
YOU THINK YOUR ADVICE IS FULL OF MEANING BUT IF IT IS MEANINGLESS, IMPLAUSIBLE THERE IS A PRIZE IN INSANITY AWAITING YOU.
IF YOU ARE A LIAR AND NASTY TO OTHERS, HAVE DONE A LOT OF BAD THINGS THEN IF YOU ARE TRUE TO YOURSELF, YOU MUST ADMIT YOU ARE A LIAR AND HAVE DONE A LOT OF BAD THINGS AND THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE EVEN TO DIEHARD LIARS.
Why being true to self is impossible:
In order to be true to self you must not rehash and there cannot be any falsity in what you say or do to yourself.
Because always stylish people rehash to themselves and there is an accompanying style or prolonging, changing speed and strength that is meaningless and false, that they should be true to themselves is impossible.
WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY OR DO TO OTHERS OR THEMSELVES, IT IS ALWAYS REHASHED AND THAT IS FALSE AND THERE IS ALWAYS AN ACCOMPANYING STYLE OR FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH THAT IS MEANINGLESS AND FALSE AND SO IT IS NOT POSSIBLE THAT THEY CAN EVER BE TRUE TO THEMSELVES ALTHOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A BEING TO BE TRUE TO HIMSELF AND OTHERS.
UNTIL A PERSON GETS RID OF HIS STYLE AND HIS REHASHING HE CANNOT BE TRUE TO HIMSELF EXCEPT IN HIS DELUSION.
The difference between honesty and truth:
If what is said or done is rehashed or has accompanying style, if it reflects reality then it is at best honest never true.
Only when something said or done is shorn off all falsity, there is no accompanying style and it is not rehashed is it true.
IF SOMETHING SAID OR DONE IS REHASHED, HAS ACCOMPANYING STYLE OR FORCE PROLONGING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS IT CAN AT BEST BE HONEST.
ONLY WHEN SOMETHING SAID OR DONE IS NOT REHASHED (FRESHLY COMPOSED FOR THE OCCASION) AND IT CONTAINS NO FALSE STYLE IS IT THEN TRUE.
What is rudeness and politeness?
The rude person behaves in speech and actions with a substance and style that is consciously or unconsciously intended to offend or stir others’ mental force repulsively and so rudeness has nothing to do with meaning but all about whether someone’s behaviour stirs others’ mental forces offensively.
Politeness is about behaving in manner and substance to please or not offend or upset others, does not stir others’ mental forces to be offended or angry. Again politeness is not about truth or goodness but about behaviour calculated not to offend and to please rather than to be true. Because what is polite to one may be rude to another or to a different culture, you can never please everyone and so it is asking the impossible to please and not offend everyone.
TO THIS WORLD RUDENESS IS GENERALLY CENSURED AND POLITENESS APPLAUDED AND YET THEY ARE BOTH NOT ABOUT TRUTH AND GOODNESS BUT TRYING TO OFFEND AND PLEASE OTHERS THAT IS ALL ABOUT THE STIRRING OF MENTAL FORCE THAT IS MEANINGLESS AND HARMFUL. THUS THE PERSON WHO PERCEIVES POLITENESS AS GOOD IS DELUDED. IF SOMETHING IS SAID TO BE POLITE IT IS NOT THE TRUTH, IF SOMETHING IS SAID TRUTHFULLY IT IS NOT TO BE POLITE OR RUDE.
BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS WORLD UNDERSTANDS RUDENESS AND POLITENESS THE WAY I DO, IF I AM CORRECT, THEY ALL DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT RUDENESS AND POLITENESS IS ABOUT.
Only robots are rude or polite:
Only people programmed by themselves and others to behave in a certain way to offend or please others can be rude or polite, a person who is not a robot, whose actions are freshly composed fully understanding for a situation cannot be rude or polite.
RUDENESS AND POLITENESS ARE MATTERS THAT PERTAIN ONLY TO ROBOTS, YOU NEED PROGRAMMING OR UPBRINGING OR TRAINING TO BEHAVE RUDELY OR POLITELY AND THUS ONLY ROBOTS ARE FASCINATED BY AND HOLD IMPORTANT RUDE AND POLITE BEHAVIOR.
Massive quake looms in Japan?
Scientists did not foresee the Fukushima earthquake happening which moved Japan even many feet east and they are ‘struggling to understand’ what has happened.
After the earthquake Japan dipped lower instead of rising if the Pacific ocean plate had slipped under Japan, further the tremors around Tokyo which is part of the same plate has increased threefold after the quake.
That Japan continued to sink rather than rise after the Fukushima earthquake suggests the two plates are still locked together in descent and Tokyo area’s increased tremors suggests spreading instability.
Thus there may be another even more massive and widespread earthquake in which the Pacific plate would finally slip under Japan causing Japan to rise rather than dip as has happened.
RATHER THAN THE DEFINITIVE EVENT, THE FUKUSHIMA QUAKE MAY BE A PORTENT OF AN EVEN GREATER EARTHQUAKE INVOLVING TOKYO AS WELL WITH THE PACIFIC OCEAN PLATE FINALLY SLIPPING UNDER JAPAN CAUSING JAPAN TO RISE RATHER THAN DIP AS HAS HAPPENED.
It takes a robot to mock:
Mocking is never a specific to the occasion event but it is a program written in people who are robots that can be triggered by things happening, driving them to mock.
Mocking is to use words and deeds (eg gestures and monkey faces to disparage) that are not meant or true but intended to insult, offend or attack another person who has upset him or not done what he desires from the other.
THE PURPOSE OF SAYING OR DOING THINGS TO MOCK IS NEVER BECAUSE WHAT IS SAID OR DONE IS TRUE BUT IT IS SAID OR DONE WITH THE PURPOSE OF INSULTING, OFFENDING OR ATTACKING ANOTHER AND IT IS NEVER FRESH SPECIFIC TO THE OCCASION BUT MOCKING IS ACCORDING TO A PROGRAM INSTALLED ON PEOPLE WHO ARE ROBOTS THAT CAN BE TRIGGERED DRIVING THEM TO ISSUE WORDS AND DEEDS THAT ARE CALCULATED TO ATTACK.
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN MOCK WITHOUT BEING A ROBOT, YOU MAY BE RIGHT OR DELUDED, HAVE WRONG VIEW THAT THE BUDDHA SAID IS THE WAY TO HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB.
Op-Ed Columnist: Who Doesn’t Love a List?
If by ‘who doesn’t love a list’ you mean ‘everyone loves a list’ then you are guilty of speaking falsely because the two are not synonymous and you are cultivating false perception in yourself and others speaking thus.
Why should anyone love a list let alone everyone would love a list as implied.
Such questions are never derived from true understanding but driven by emotion or force to mock or be derisive.
WHY SHOULD ANYONE LOVE A LIST LET ALONE EVERYONE LOVES A LIST AS IMPLIED. WHO DOES NOT LOVE A LIST IS NOT THE SAME AS EVERYONE LOVES A LIST IF THAT IS WHAT SHE MEANT.
Dick Cheney’s heart transplant:
Mr. Cheney, 71, who has suffered five heart attacks and was in end-stage heart failure, had been on the waiting list for a new heart for 20 months, the statement said. Mr. Cheney was recovering in the intensive care unit of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va.
This man is deluded and has much terrible karma for the things he has done (that include duck shooting) and his suffering reflects his sins and what is happening is merely the first instalment of many to come that the Buddha said is like an ocean. And so if you will not turn (so that Jesus may heal you) then you will join Dick in the ocean of suffering.
The mother of all sin and thus suffering:
Because sin and suffering are inseparable, whatever is sin is also suffering, the mother of sin is also the mother of suffering.
If sin has a mother and you think it has no mother or sins are multitudinous and independent of each other then you have wrong view because reality or truth is that sin and suffering has a mother.
The mother of all sins, the fundamental sin at the heart is style, the constant totally unnecessary use of harmful meaningless force to stretch syllables, change speed and strength that subjects self and others to meaningless and harmful leading to stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate and necessitates a robotic enslaved rehashing existence.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PERSON WHO HAS TRULY SHED STYLE, WHO IS FREED FROM THE TERRIBLE PRISON OF STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE SHOULD COMMIT THE VARIOUS SINS LIKE KILLING, HARMING, STEALING, CHEATING OR LYING WHICH CAN ONLY BE DONE WITH PROGRAMMING OR REHASHING.
IF IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PERSON FREED OF STYLE TO SIN LIKE THE STYLISH MAN AND YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE THEN YOU HAVE WRONG VIEW.
A sorry end for our tubby tellies
ANNABEL CRABB The streets are full of dead televisions. They lurk mutely on nature strips, empty-eyed. They gather in reproachful little clusters on vacant blocks.
The streets are never full of televisions except in fabrication and televisions are not beings and cannot die nor can they lurk as beings can, just because they are displaying a show does not mean they are empty eyed and there is nothing reproachful about little clusters and so she thinks she is very clever but she is headed for insanity. She is not insane yet but such talk rather than clever is the route to insanity.
Wreck leads tsunami debris heading for Canada
Just because it is an empty ship swept out to sea by the tsunami does not mean it is leading tsunami debris heading for Canada. It is the result of false perception that a person says thus presumptuously trying to be clever.
IT IS TRAINING ONESELF AND OTHERS IN FALSE LOGIC AND PERCEPTION THAT JUST BECAUSE IT IS A SHIP IT IS LEADING DEBRIS.

A $32 trillion derivative minefield:
What is stated in the article excerpted below is unclear but my understanding of it is that the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) which arbitrates whether credit events that trigger pay outs have occurred did not rule an event when Greek defaulted on its debts to public bondholders but when Greece forced private bondholders to accept a 50% haircut, it was deemed a default triggering pay out which only amounted to $3.2 billion outstanding.
IN OTHER WORDS, IF MY UNDERSTANDING IS CORRECT, THE ISDA RULES A CREDIT EVENT TRIGGERING PAYOUT ONLY WHEN CONVENIENT, SELECTIVELY NOT OBJECTIVELY, WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO WITH SETTLEMENT AMOUNTS AFFORDABLE. SHOULD PAYOUT BE IN MASSIVE AMOUNTS THEN ITS BACK MAY BE AGAINST THE WALL TO RULE AN EVENT EVEN WHEN IT IS AN EVENT BECAUSE THE PAY OUT TRIGGERED IF UNFULFILLED, MAY CAUSE PANIC IN THE $32 TRILLION DERIVATIVE MARKET CAUSING CREDIT MARKETS TO BE FROZEN WHEN PEOPLE REALIZED THEIR INSURED LOANS MADE TO OTHERS ARE IN FACT UNINSURED AND ‘DANGEROUS AS HELL’.
THE ISDA AND THE WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM MAY HAVE DODGED THE GREEK DEFAULT BULLET BUT THERE MAY BE MORE DANGEROUS EVEN FATAL BULLETS DOWN THE LINE.
On March 9, Greece forced payouts on swaps contracts when it required all private bondholders to forgive more than 100 billion euros of debt as part of the biggest sovereign-debt restructuring in history.
The International Swaps and Derivatives Association calls Greece’s debt deal a “credit event”.
The rest of the world calls it what it is: a default. Still, no panic has ensued; no contagion has swept over US banks. The financial markets, it seems, are treating the CDS trigger as a non-event.
Banks and other financial institutions rely on the instruments to protect against losses.
Hedge funds especially like credit-default swaps because they offer a low- cost means of taking on credit exposure.
credit-default swaps have become so ingrained in the financial markets, with $US32 trillion in contracts outstanding.
Concerns arose earlier this month that CDS were no longer reliable after an ISDA panel ruled that a Greek credit event hadn’t occurred, even though bondholders were accepting more than 50 per cent reductions in value.
But when Greece invoked a legal clause making the reductions mandatory for all private bondholders, the ISDA panel immediately moved to trigger the swaps.
The gross amount of outstanding swaps on Greek debt is about $US70 billion, of which only about $US3.2 billion remains after buyers and sellers net out their positions.
Things could still go wrong with Greece’s default. An auction will take place March 19 to set a recovery value on the Greek bonds underlying the credit-default swaps, which will determine the amount of any payout.
By then, old Greek bonds will have been replaced with new ones, forcing the ISDA to figure out what bonds will suffice in the settlement process. A potential glitch, yes. But in the big picture, it makes the CDS market seem a lot safer than it was just a few years ago.
Why China is standing on very shaky grounds:
Recently there was concern/alarm when there was a big drop of exports in February. Although part of the big drop was due to the Lunar New Year close down, part of it is because of economic downturn in Europe and America leading to reduced demand for Chinese exports.
China is very dependent on exports to support its economy, if there is a severe export downturn that is entirely out its control, it has a massive property bubble that threatens to burst with dire consequences.
EXPORTS IS CHINA’S KINGPIN AND IT IS BEYOND ITS CONTROL. IF ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN IN EUROPE AND THE US CRIMPS ITS EXPORTS IT MAY CAUSE THE MASSIVE PROPERTY AND CREDIT BUBBLE TO BURST.
How to maximize your pleasures:
Pleasure and happiness are two different things not to be confused with each other.
Pleasure is dependent on contact usually with mild to moderate force through the senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell) and happiness is simply a freedom of suffering and because it is force (and nothing else) that gives pain and suffering, happiness is freedom from force.
There is only one way of truly maximizing your pleasures and that is to develop a mind that is as calm as possible and that means your mind must not stir emotionally, stir to like or dislike and you must not have style that requires totally unnecessary constant generation of significant calm destroying force.
There are deluded people hooked on pleasure seeking who seek to enhance their pleasures by false, deluded pleasure destroying means like multiple simultaneous stimuli (eg soft lights, romantic music, kinky practices, aids whilst having sex), they think they can extract more pleasure by increasing more force in the sex acts, by shouting and grunting, by taking drugs and alcohol, etc. All these never work but serve to destroy whatever happiness they seek.
THE BUDDHA SAID THE PERSON WHO HAS REACHED THE THIRD HIGHER STATE OF MIND, NEITHER LIKING NOR DISLIKING IS SENSITIVE TO PLEASURE AND SO ANYONE WHO HAS NOT ACHIEVED THAT STATE IS NOT SENSITIVE TO THE PLEASURE THEY CRAVE AND SEEK. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE THIRD HIGHER STATE YOU MUST FIRST STOP HAVING STYLE, STOP USING FORCE TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND YOU MUST HAVE SUCCESSFULLY STOPPED THINKING.
IT IS MILD FORCE RECEIVED THROUGH THE SENSES THAT IS THE ‘MAGICAL’ INGREDIENT OF PLEASURE AND SO YOU MUST NOT SMOTHER THE WEAK INCOMING FORCE WITH AN AGITATED MIND AND SO THE CALMER THE MIND, THE MORE SENSITIVE TO PLEASURE IT IS. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
THE MIND THAT IS FREE OF STYLE, FREE OF CONSTANT FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH IS CALMER THAN THE STYLED MIND AND SO IT EXPERIENCES PLEASURE GREATER.
THE MIND THAT IS FREE OF THINKING IS UNITED, FOCUSED ON THE MILD FORCE BEING RECEIVED THAT IS THE SOURCE OF PLEASURE AND SO IT IS MORE SENSITIVE TO PLEASURE THAN THE HELPLESSLY THINKING MIND.
FINALLY THE MIND THAT IS NOT EMOTIONAL, NOT STIRRING TO LIKE, DISLIKE, BE SAD, HURT, CONFUSED OR FEARFUL IS THE HIGHEST CALMED MIND AND SO IT IS THE MOST SENSITIVE TO PLEASURE.
What is happiness?
There is absolute and relative happiness.
The happiness that ordinary people refer to and experience is relative never absolute happiness because their minds are never totally free from force either generated by themselves or received from others.
In order to experience ABSOLUTE happiness you must attain the fourth higher state of mind namely NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE when the person has dispelled all contact with force either self or other generated and utterly freed of force it is utterly freed of suffering and so its happiness is pure, absolute.
IT IS FORCE THAT CAUSES SUFFERING THAT DESTROYS HAPPINESS AND IN ORDER TO BE ABSOLUTELY HAPPY THE PERSON MUST ABSOLUTELY DISPEL ALL CONTACT WITH FORCE EITHER INTRINSIC OR EXTRINSIC. PLEASURE TOO IS SUFFERING BECAUSE IT IS DEPENDENT ON CONTACT WITH MILD FORCE THAT LEADS ULTIMATELY TO SUFFERING.
WHAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CALL HAPPINESS IS RELATIVE AND LOWLY AND FRAGILE, EASILY DESTROYED BY SUFFERING.
IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE ABSOLUTE OR PURE HAPPINESS, SOMETHING EMOTIONAL PEOPLE HAVE NEVER TASTED AND IS FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY HAPPINESS PEOPLE OBTAIN IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST DEVELOP THE FOURTH HIGHEST STATE OF MIND, NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE WHICH GIVES THE HIGHEST HAPPINESS OR FREEDOM FROM SUFFERING AND ALSO GIVES THE PERSON 500 ETERNITIES OF HEAVENLY BLISS ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA.
AS THE BUDDHA SAID, WHAT OTHERS CALL HAPPINESS (EG PLEASURE) THAT THE NOBLE ONES HAVE FOUND IS SUFFERING.
Happiness can be lost:
As soon as a being lapses into force, allows force to seep through his mind, his happiness is slowly or rapidly eroded. And so the wise man who treasures his happiness will guard his mind like a hawk detecting all intrusions of force to swiftly dispel them so that he permanently remain devoid of force in absolute concentration of mind and pure happiness.
HAPPINESS AND PLEASURE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS AND IF YOU ARE CONFUSED, MUDDLED ABOUT THEIR DIFFERENCE THEN YOU ARE A FOOL NOT WISE.
HAPPINESS IS HIGHER THAN PLEASURE WHICH IS MERELY A SENSATION DEPENDENT ON THE PRESENCE AND RECEPTION OF MILD FORCE THROUGH THE SENSE THAT IS FOOD THAT DOES NOT LAST AND LEADS TO SUFFERING ULTIMATELY.
What people call happiness:
To ordinary people happiness is when they pass their exams, their girl friends accept their marriage proposal, their first son is born, they win a lottery or they get delivery of their spanking new Mercedes for which they spent a sleepless night awaiting.
So what is this happiness they experience?
It is getting what they want, obtaining the pleasure that they want (eg having sex), it is the relative (never absolute) current freedom from suffering (no worries, worries swept away, no bodily pains or sickness)  and the excited or attractive stirring of their mental forces. No matter how they exalt, all this force exposure and stirring stresses and tires and so gradually they succumb to suffering, their happiness is replaced by suffering, anxieties and stress.
WHAT PEOPLE CALL HAPPINESS IS FOOL’S HAPPINESS, IS SUFFERING AND UNSATISFACTORY. PLEASURES ARE ULTIMATELY SUFFERING BECAUSE IT NECESSITATES RECEPTION OF HARMFUL FORCE. OBTAINING OBJECTS OF PLEASURE (NEW CAR, NEW SON, NEW WIFE) IS A BOND OR BURDEN RATHER THAN THE UNADULTERATED HAPPINESS IT IS MADE OUT TO BE. TO BE EXCITED BY YOUR GAINS AND PLEASURES IS TO ADD MORE FUEL TO THE FIRE RATHER THAN HAPPINESS ENHANCEMENT IT IS MADE TO BE.
The high priests of international high finance:
International finance is presided over by high priests, not professional or qualified and responsible people using true logic and obeying laws.
These high priests is the shadowy ISDA, international swaps and derivatives association who divine and decide according to their flights of fancies and self-serving interests whether credit events (euphemism of defaults) that necessitate pay outs have occurred.
It is a $32 trillion monster or Frankenstein market that is tottering on utter collapse or will explode sooner or later.
It is insane that people would make $1000 in interest lending money and then pay another say $10 or $100 to stand surety for the loan, should the borrower default, the person who insured is liable to pay the full amount.
ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD ACCEPT MONEY TO STAND SURETY ON THE LOANS MADE BY ANOTHER. WHY NOT LEND THE MONEY YOURSELF AND GET THE FULL BENEFIT OF LENDING THE MONEY. BECAUSE THERE ARE FOOLS WILLING TO COLLECT A SMALL BRIBE TO STAND SURETY FOR OTHERS’ LOANS, LENDERS ARE DRIVEN TO RECKLESSNESS, THEY DON’T CARE WHO THEY LEND TO BUT AS LONG AS SOMEONE IS STANDING SURETY, THERE IS SOMEONE THEY CAN FALL ON IF THE BORROWER DEFAULTS.
AND THERE IS $32 TRILLION OF SUCH ASSURED LOANS OUT THERE MANAGED BY A CABAL OF HIGH PRIESTS WHO DECIDES WHO SHOULD PAY WHO SHOULD THERE BE A DEFAULT. THE BULLETS ARE STARTING TO FLY AND NOW THEY HAVE MANAGED TO AVOID THE BULLETS BUT SOON THE BULLETS MAY BE LIKE A MACHINE GUN AND THERE IS NO WAY TO HIDE FROM THE MACHINE GUN FIRE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED.
Would you stand surety for my loans?
Supposed I made $1000 lending $1 million to another and I used $100 from my profit to pay you to stand surety for that $1 million, would you do it, even if rating agencies rate it AAA?
Only a fool would do this because just to make $100 you risk losing $1million. And it appears there is a massive market for such fools because there is $32 trillion in derivatives outstanding, enough to wipe out the financial system many times over perhaps, a case of mutually assured financial destruction.
Thinking is always resisted:
I am aware that when I am not thinking or my thinking is sparse like a blue sky with few clouds, my stress is much less.
Thinking is always accompanied by self resistance because work has to be done thinking (even if you cannot help it), a lot of thinking is useless babble and even directed thinking is directed by greed, ill will and fear for loss. And so whenever a person thinks, he stirs self-resistance that leads to stress and if a person stops thinking, resistance due to thinking stops and that is a significant drop in stress.
WHEN A PERSON STOPS THINKING (FOR THOSE WHO CAN) HIS MIND BECOMES UNIFIED, ONE POINTED RATHER THAN DIVIDED AND THAT IN ITSELF IS RELEASE FROM SUFFERING.
A LOT OF THINKING IS IDLE OR RAMBLING AND THIS MUST GENERATE RESISTANCE. EVEN DIRECTED THINKING IS OFTEN IF NOT ALWAYS DRIVEN BY UNSAVOURY MOTIVES LIKE GREED, ILL WILL AND FEAR AND SO THEY MUST STIR RESISTANCE.
THUS THE STOPPING OF THINKING IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY THE STOPPING OF RESISTANCE DUE TO THINKING AND THAT MEANS AN END TO STRESS.
When thinking causes stress:
If what you think is unnecessary, fantasy, for decoration (intellectual conceit), aimless then it must generate resistance (that leads to stress) even if you think it is necessary, full of meaning.
If the motive of what you think is unwholesome (eg to scheme for revenge or unrighteous gain) then it too must generate self-resistance.
THINKING IS IN TRUTH UNNECESSARY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN UP THIS WORLD, ALL YOU NWWS IS TO SEE TRULY THINGS AS THEY ACTUALLY ARE AND THUS SEEING TRULY YOU UNDERSTAND TRULY, WHERE THE NEED TO THINK? WHATEVER YOU DID NOT SEE, IF YOU ARE NOT GREEDY YOU DO NOT NEED TO THINK TO WORK OUT AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU THINK, STILL YOU DID NOT SEE WHAT YOU THINK.
THUS THINKING IS A HARMFUL FALSE ACTIVITY AND IF YOU THINK THINKING IS MARVELLOUS, A MIRACLE OF EXISTENCE THEN YOU MAY HAVE WRONG VIEW THAT IS THE PATH TO SUFFERING.
Thinking is always cursed by stress:
Thinking is never wonderful, natural or good but thinking is conditioned such that it is automatic, irresistible and it is evil, unnecessary except for show or nefarious purposes.
Thus thinking is always cursed by stress, generates self-resistance and is tormenting and whoever worships and upholds thinking worship and upholds evil and suffering.
THE PERSON WHO HAS COME TO AN END OF THINKING, WHO IS ABLE TO STOP THINKING AT WILL DOES NOT ENVY THOSE TRAPPED IN THE MIRE OF THINKING.
David Cameron does not know who he eats lunch with:
Mankind’s hypocrisy and corruption is deep.
Do you believe David Cameron does not know who he eats lunch with, that the person having lunch before him paid big time to have lunch with him just like people pay big time to have lunch with Warren Buffet?
He should know why he is eating lunch with someone and so the scandal should force his resignation and it reflects hypocrisy that he is not to be blamed.
DAVID CAMERON IS SITTING HAVING LUNCH WITH SOMEONE AND HE DOES NOT KNOW THAT PERSON PAID BIG MONEY TO HAVE LUNCH WITH HIM? HE MUST BE A ROBOT HAVING LUNCH AS TOLD OR IT IS HYPOCRISY HE IS INNOCENT.
IT IS ALL FOR SHOW, THE MANY PHOTO OPS OF HIM SHOPPING IN SHOPPING COMPLEXES, SUPERMARKETS AND MARKET DROP INS. WHO IS HE TRYING TO KID THAT HE NEEDS TO BUY FISH AND MEAT JUST LIKE THE REST OF YOU?
IT ALL STARTED WITH AMERICA, ‘PHOTO-OPS’ AND NOW IT IS STANDARD FARE, MALAYSIA WITH ITS ONE MALAYSIA PHOTO-OPS. EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY AND WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME?
Financial engineering:
What is stated below is not entirely clear but it does indicate that during the boom there have been a lot of criminal exploitation to strip assets and income from businesses by setting up property companies to run assets a company owned and then gearing or leveraging it up (nice word for borrowing or taking on debt?), these propcos will drain away a lot of the income of the companies (to avoid taxes) and would be assigned to company’s pension fund so that its liabilities would be assumed by the company’s employees.
Typically, the property – be it offices, retail premises, warehouse space or simply land - would be separated out from the trading business into a "propco" which would then be geared up and rented back to the trading company, enabling the owners to take big dividends out of the business. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, it used to be called "asset stripping", but in the noughties it got re-invented under the rather more polite terminology of "capital efficiency". It was all part of the madness of the credit bubble - an apparent free ride for all.
The financial advisers and bankers who set up the structures have long since disappeared, leaving the business owners, now that an altogether more hostile credit environment has established itself, to sort out the resulting mess.
To make matters worse, many businesses that set up such "propcos" used the interest rate swaps highlighted as a major case of mis-selling in last weekend's Sunday Telegraph to insure themselves against rises in interest rates. In fact, interest rates fell, creating double trouble. Often the "propco" would have been stuck into the pension fund, creating big potential liabilities for what would otherwise be a perfectly solvent and viable trading business.
Obama challenges N. Korea "to pursue peace"
Being challenged is never a valid but mad reason for doing something. It is when you see something is right, meaningful and beneficial to self and others that you should do it and so Obama is practicing controlled insanity and the fact that he sees nothing wrong reflects delusion.
ANYONE WHO CHALLENGES ANOTHER TO DO ANYTHING IS ASKING FOR KARMA AND SUFFERING IN REPAYMENT BECAUSE BEING CHALLENGED IS NOT A REASON FOR DOING SOMETHING.
Can we return to financial engineering please?
If financial shenanigans or abuses played a major part in the recent boom and responsible for the collapse in the aftermath then unless you return to large scale financial engineering you cannot return to the past boom because the past boom was dependent on financial engineering.
TRUE PRODUCTIVITY AND TECHNOLOGY MAY HAVE PLAYED SECOND FIDDLE TO FINANCIAL ENGINEERING OR LARGE SCALE RAPACIOUS ABUSE OF THE SYSTEM AND SO BECAUSE FINANCIAL ENGINEERING WAS LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BOOM, WITHOUT RETURNING TO FINANCIAL ENGINEERING YOU CANNOT RETURN TO THE BOOM AND IF YOU CAN RETURN TO THAT BOOM THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AND SO ALL THOSE HOLDING THEIR BREATH ANTICIPATING THE GOOD TIMES AGAIN ARE DELUDED. WE HAVE ONLY STARTED THE DESCENT, FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS.
Only robots can be deluded:
Because only robots can be deluded, if a person is demonstrated to be deluded, he espouses views and explanations about things that are objectively false, it is proof he is a robot not just there but everywhere else.
Delusions are views and explanations of what things are or how things are that are false that is consistent even difficult if not impossible for him to shake off (eg a person thinks his difficulty in breathing is due to his high cholesterol) and the only way this is possible is that the person is a robot who can only perceive as programmed and once programmed the delusion is difficult if not possible to erase.
WITHOUT PROGRAMMING (RECORDING) AND REHASHING FROM RECORDING, A PERSON CANNOT SUBSCRIBE TO THE SAME DELUSION PERSISTENTLY. ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE ROBOTS ARE CAPABLE OF BEING DELUDED, CAPABLE OF BEING PROGRAMMED WITH FALSE BELIEFS AND PERCEPTIONS THAT THEN BECOME THE BASIS FOR THEIR (FALSE) UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD. BECAUSE DELUSIONS ARE RECORDED IT IS RESISTENT EVEN IMPOSSIBLE TO ERASE IF THE PERSON STUBBORNLY CLINGS TO HIS DELUSIONS, HIS DELUSIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO HIS BEING.
Falsity can only occur consistently by programming:
Delusions are falsities, if they are true they would not be called delusions and the only way a falsity can consistently happen in one person is by programming and rehash from programming.
ONLY WHAT IS TRUE, AS IT ACTUALLY CAN CONSISTENTLY OR ALWAYS HAPPEN THE SAME WITHOUT PROGRAMMING OR REHASH. WHATEVER THAT IS FALSE CANNOT HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY IN A PERSON WITHOUT PROGRAMMING AND REHASH FROM PROGRAMMING.
Chance for students to show their mettle
PETALING JAYA: The Star-ESU Malaysia-SEGi Public Speaking Competition has kicked off its 10th edition with a workshop attended by some 200 students.
You don’t do something to show your mettle but you do it because there is an occasion for it and it is meaningful and so it is mad or nonsense to speak thus.
Doing something to show your mettle is a collective human delusion that people see nothing wrong even perfectly right and the only way this can come about is by programming and rehashing and these people who do things to show their mettle are robots.
BECAUSE DOING SOMETHING TO SHOW YOUR METTLE IS FALSE OR DELUSIONAL, THE ONLY WAY A PERSON CAN CONSISTENTLY SUBSCRIBE TO THIS DELUSION IS THAT IT IS PROGRAMMED IN THEM AND REHASHED FROM PROGRAMMING WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING AND THEY ARE ROBOTS.
JESUS NEVER BROUGHT THE DEAD TO LIFE TO SHOW HIS METTLE BUT IT IS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT DEATH IS NOT FINAL, CAN BE REVERSED IF GOD WANTS.
SHOWING YOUR METTLE REQUIRES SELF IDENTITY, SOMEONE TO SHOW OFF AND IT IS PATH TO FUTURE WOE SAYS THE BUDDHA.
Startling divergence:
Rattner: The Rich Get Even Richer
New statistics show an ever-more-startling divergence between the fortunes of the wealthy and everybody else.
I am not startled and not everyone is startled and so it is false to describe the divergence as startling.
Depending on the stirring of a person’s mental force he is startled or stunned and if the person’s mental force is not stirred he is not stunned.
He is saying his mental force is stirred strongly for him to be startled by the divergence, his understanding is the stirring of blind meaningless force.
IT IS MAD OR MEANINGLESS TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING BEING STARTLING WHICH IS ABOUT A SUBJECTIVE STIRRING OF BLIND, HARMFUL MEANINGLESS MENTAL FORCE THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO EVERYONE, NOT EVERYONE IS STARTLED AND ONLY A DELUDED MAN WOULD DWELL ON STARTLING INSTEAD OF THE SUBSTANCE OF THE MATTER.
DealBook: A Start-Up Airline Finds Its Place in the Maldives
Only robots keep deal books that record their deals which is an external jukebox as compared to an internal deal book.
I don’t keep a deal book, neither does the Buddha or Jesus keep deal books. People think they are all important with their deal books when they are slaves, robots of their deal books.
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE MASTER OF YOUR DEAL BOOK YOU ARE DELUDED, YOU ARE A ROBOT OR SLAVE OF YOUR DEAL BOOK THAT TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO.
Button: Never drink and drive
Formula One driver Jenson Button has a strong message to party-goers: never drink and drive.
If you tell others never drink and drive you are programming them whether successful or not to be robots obeying you and that has karma not merit.
The wise unemotional man states, ‘drinking and driving is very dangerous and can be fatal’.
THE FOOL SEES NO DIFFERENCE BUT THERE IS A WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE IN CULPABILITY BETWEEN SOMEONE WHO TELLS OR PROGRAMS OTHERS NEVER TO DRINK AND DRIVE AND ANOTHER WHO MERELY INFORMS OTHERS THAT DRINK AND DRIVING IS DANGEROUS EVEN FATAL.
Real leadership lessons from Steve Jobs
Only people who are robots, who need to be told or programmed what to do before they can do anything need leaders. Those with true understanding do not require leadership but collective effort to resolve any issue or problem.
Leadership is about style not substance, about commanding and obeying. Those who are not robots who truly understand whatever issue at hand knows what needs to be done and they will do it themselves without being told, without being led or if they need a collective effort to resolve the issue they come to an amicable agreement of how they will go about achieving their objective.
YOU MAY BE RIGHT LEADERSHIP IS SOMETHING ABOUT TRUTH AND MEANING OR YOU MAY BE WRONG, LEADERSHIP APPLIES TO THOSE WHO ARE ROBOTS WHO NEED TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO OR THEY ARE LOST.
THUS THE TOPIC ABOUT REAL LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM STEVE JOBS IS TO FALSELY MAKE MUCH OF HIM AS IF HE OR HIS LEADERSHIP IS SO GREAT EVEN IRREPLACEABLE WHEN IT IS NONSENSE.
True and false leadership:
False leadership is about personality or personality cults, intimidation, domination, demanding and getting what you want from followers that is about predilections or false liking or preference. Steve Jobs has a reputation of being demanding and castigating, wanting things to be done a particular way that is not based on reason but liking.
True leadership has nothing to do with personality or personality cults, it is based on truth and reason that the person who is the leader has a higher understanding of matters, has greater wisdom based on which he is more capable of divining the right path that he then shares with his followers for their benefit and welfare.
False leadership is about material or false or meaningless pursuits like making products to sell, making money, true leadership is about guiding others out of trouble, out of suffering into freedom from suffering.
True leadership:
True leadership is about leading followers who by themselves are incapable of knowing the truth towards the truth.
True leadership is about guiding others who are suffering and in fear out of suffering and fear where by themselves they are incapable of doing so.
True leadership is about sacrificing yourself for the sake of others.
THUS A TRUE LEADER IS A BEACON FOR HIS FOLLOWERS OF TRUTH AND GOODNESS, FOREMOST IN WISDOM WHO UNDERTAKES HARDSHIP AND EVEN SACRIFICES HIMSELF FOR THE SAKE OF HIS FOLLOWERS.
IF THE GOAL OF THE ENTERPRISE IS FALSE OR MEANINGLESS THEN THE LEADERSHIP IS ALWAYS FALSE EG IF THE RELIGIOUS CULT IS FALSE EG ZEN OR YOGA, THEN THE LEADERSHIP IS ALWAYS DELUDED AND FALSE.
Leadership based on force and leadership based on reason:
There is leadership based on force and wielding of force and it is the dominant false leadership of this world, it is based on doing as I tell you to do that is false, delusional and harmful, leads to ruin backed up by force, intimidating and persecution, rituals and delusions.
There is leadership that is based on reason completely devoid of force or coercion, intimidation and domination with the purpose of seeking happiness together and alone without bickering and arguing.
Leadership is about serving others not others serving you:
Jesus said he came to serve not to be served. You undertake leadership not to improve your leadership skills or for self-benefits but because the people or your community needs your guidance for their benefit.
Thus the false leader establishes himself by force, by killing or driving off rivals and then maintains his hold by force, intimidation and punishment and then he serves himself foremost, what followers gets are morsels thrown off his table, he guides his followers to future woe as he guides himself to future woe and he demands and expects adulation, fear, respect, service and obeisance from those he leads.
TRUE LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT SERVING OTHERS NOT YOURSELF, EVEN SACRIFICING YOURSELF FOR YOUR FOLLOWERS. FALSE LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT OBTAINING & MAINTAINING POWER SO THAT FOLLOWERS CAN SERVE YOU AND BE USED BY YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR LORDLY WHIM AND FANCY, EVEN SACRIFICED BY YOU.
IF YOU THINK THAT LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT RISING TO THE TOP (EVEN BY HOOK OR CROOK) SO THAT OTHERS MAY SERVE YOU AND YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH THEM EVEN SACRIFICE THEM, YOU HAVE WRONG VIEW THAT IS THE WAY TO HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB. LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT SERVING OTHERS FOR THEIR WELFARE AND THE GREAT LEADER EVEN SACRIFICES HIMSELF FOR HIS FOLLOWERS’ SAKE.
There are no leadership lessons, by Steve Jobs or anyone, leadership is not something you learn which is about observing and copying or programmed or false robotic leadership.
I can teach you and you can learn about how a car or engine or brake works and that is true knowledge but leadership is not something you can learn from others which means observing, remembering and rehashing from memory and that means it is a false robotic imitation leadership.
You lead by conduct and knowledge, whoever has the highest knowledge and conduct by default is the leader, someone those below him has to look up to and he is automatically the best leader.
The Buddha said he is the highest in conduct and knowledge, there is no one who is his equal and if he were to look up to or share equal with anyone else, his head would split because he would be guilty of falsity, of wrong.
THERE ARE NO LEADERSHIP LESSONS (AS PURPORTED ABOUT STEVE JOBS LEADERSHIP LESSONS), TRUE UNPROGRAMMED LEADERSHIP IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN LEARN FROM OTHERS WHICH IS A FORM OF PROGRAMMING BUT WHOEVER HAS HIGHER KNOWLEDGE AND CONDUCT IS BY DEFAULT THE LEADER.
Leadership should not be an object but a matter of course:
For deluded avaricious people leadership is an obsession, an objective, something very real like a physical object when it is something virtual, an accorded position, something they seek, even fight to obtain and maintain and to this aim they study even set up deluded leadership training courses, they study what makes leaders and how to lead when leadership should be no big deal but it comes even with a heavy responsibility because people trust their welfare even lives to you and you have great karma if you should lead them to ruin.
FOOLS ARE EAGER TO BE LEADERS, TO EXERCISE LEADERSHIP NOT REALIZING THE GREAT POTENTIAL KARMA OF LEADERSHIP IF YOU LEAD OTHERS TO WOE. FOR THE WISE, LEADERSHIP IS A MATTER OF COURSE, NOT SOMETHING THEY SEEK/SCHEME AND THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE DUTIES AND HEAVY RESPONSIBILITIES IN UNDERTAKING LEADERSHIP.
IT IS ONLY THOSE WITH BIG EGOS AND WHO ARE DELUDED FOOLS WHO CRAVE BEING LEADERS AND MAKE A BIG FUSS ABOUT WHAT LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT.
The Buddha and not a great leader?
There are things that are possible and things that are impossible, the Buddha said. It is impossible that the Buddha should be the fully self awakened one and not be a great leader, the Buddha said he is the supreme charioteer of those fit to be tamed.
There is no need to study leadership, conduct leadership training courses or learn the secrets or tricks of the trade of being leader, it is delusion and making much of nothing.
True leadership is natural, a matter of course, to be expected of those whose minds are noble, who are endowed with good conduct and true knowledge that they should know the way better and naturally be the leader to guide others out of suffering and danger.
There is no need to beat the drum of leadership except that you are a fool beating the drum of leadership to beat your own drum.
Great leadership comes with great wisdom:
Leadership is something you either have or you don’t. It ensues from wisdom. Those who are wise are automatically endowed with great leadership qualities, those who are foolish are lousy leaders no matter how much they train themselves.
THERE IS NO NEED TO LOOK HIGH AND LOW FOR THE SECRET INGREDIENTS OF GREAT LEADERSHIP.
THE TRUE SEAT OF GREAT LEADERSHIP COMES FROM GREAT WISDOM AND IN ORDER TO HAVE GREAT WISDOM YOU MUST HAVE GREAT CONCENTRATION (NO THINKING, NEITHER LIKE NOR DISLIKE THEN NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE) AND TO HAVE GREAT CONCENTRATION YOU MUST HAVE GREAT VIRTUE WHICH MEANS GREAT CONDUCT.
WITHOUT GREAT WISDOM YOU CANNOT BE A GREAT LEADER, WITHOUT GREAT CONCENTRATION YOU CANNOT HAVE GREAT WISDOM. WITHOUT GREAT VIRTUE OR CONDUCT YOU CANNOT HAVE GREAT CONCENTRATION.
What constitutes a truly great leader:
Because there is terrible suffering and stress here, even to suicidal/homicidal levels and everyone here is faking it that they enjoy it here and they are doomed to even another eternity of weeping and gnashing their teeth but there is another world that is utterly free of suffering and death that all beings here can escape to, the great leader is the person who guides beings doomed to suffering here and suffering for an eternity from the path to doom to the path to safety and rest from suffering.
WHOEVER DELIVERS BEINGS SUFFERING TERRIBLY HERE AND DESTINED EVEN FOR AN ETERNITY OF WOE FROM SUFFERING TO SAFETY AND BLISS IS THE PARAMOUNT GREAT LEADER EVEN IF YOU AND EVERYONE HERE PINE FOR POWER AND GLORY AS YARDSTICKS FOR LEADERSHIP, REFUSE TO EXIT DEATH AND SUFFERING FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
IF PEOPLE HERE ARE NOT SUFFERING, THEY ARE NOT DESTINED FOR TERRIBLE SUFFERING THEN THE PERSON WHO GUIDES THEM OUT OF DANGER TO SAFETY IS NOT A GREAT LEADER.
Why are leaders needed?
Leaders are needed because there is a community of beings who need someone to run or administer, coordinate and provide guidance not for ruin but certainly for the preservation and wellbeing of that community.
Many who call themselves leaders are tyrants, their purpose is to seize power and thence once seized to use the power to glorify and enrich themselves often at the expense of or to the detriment of the community they are supposed to lead.
LEADERS ARE NEEDED BECAUSE A COMMUNITY NEEDS TO BE ADMINISTERED/COORDINATED AND GUIDED FOR THE COLLECTIVE WELLBEING AND SO THE TRUE PURPOSE OF A LEADER IS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY NOT SERVE OR EXALT HIMSELF, NOT TO EXPLOIT THE COMMUNITY AND EVEN ACT TO THE HARM OR DETRIMENT OF THE COMMUNITY, TO NEGLECT THE INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY WHICH IS WHAT LEADERSHIP IN THIS WORLD IS LARGELY IF NOT TOTALLY ABOUT. POLITICIANS IN THIS WORLD DO EVERYTHING TO GET ELECTED OR WIN LEADERSHIP AND THEREAFTER THEY EXPLOIT THEIR LEADERSHIP FOR SELF GAIN OFTEN AT THE EXPENSE OF THE COMMUNITY THEY SEEK TO LEAD.
What is the use of any leader if not to guide, administer and coordinate for the welfare of the community he leads? Thus anyone who thinks that leadership is about them, about glorifying and enriching themselves are deluded and asking for punishment. It is their duty to govern or lead well and if they failed or used their positions to abuse the community, they are asking for grave punishment.
Leadership is setting examples to people:
Leadership is not about flaunting and exercising your power and prestige but it is setting an (good) example to others you lead. And so if you are a leader and you set a bad example to others (eg abusive, dereliction of duties, corruption), you are asking for punishment worse that people who are not leaders.
As Jesus said, priests (leaders) will receive the greater condemnation.
*     And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places 39 and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, 40 who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."
IF YOU ARE A LEADER AND YOU SET A BAD EXAMPLE, YOU LEAD OTHERS TO WOE YOU WILL RECEIVE GREATER CONDEMNATION OR PUNISHMENT.
Exercising powers and privileges whilst setting hypocritical examples:
To deluded power hungry people leadership means exercising their powers to the hilt, exploiting the privileges whilst playing lip service to serving the people and setting examples that are hypocritical, for show not true.
True leadership is about governing responsibly, not to be carried away by privileges and exercising powers to persecute others and to set a good example.
The duty of Apple CEO:
You may think surely you know what the duty of Apple CEO is but you may be deluded.
The duty of Apple CEO is not to make the company dominant, exterminate all rivals and make the company as rich as possible but to responsibly invent and make products that are beneficial that is up to people to select and thus make profit for the company. He should not resort to unfair tactics to artificially play up and increase demand for his products (eg employees clapping hands at queuing customers, hype up launches, keep marketing upgrades) and try to exterminate rivals with strong arm tactics.
THE DUTY OF APPLE CEO IS NOT TO MAKE THE COMPANY MATERIALLY SUCCESSFUL AT ALL COSTS WHILST DESTROYING COMPETITORS BUT IT IS TO INVENT NEW USEFUL PRODUCTS AND MARKET THEM RESPONSIBLY AND IT IS UP TO CONSUMERS TO MAKE THE PRODUCTS POPULAR AND THUS FAIRLY MAKE MONEY FOR APPLE.
