Doubt and uncertainty:
Apart from being a hindrance that detains one in suffering, doubt and uncertainty is one of three lower fetters to future woe, says the Buddha.
You may think that doubt and uncertainty is perfectly natural and blameless but you may have false perception because the truth is doubt and uncertainty is unnatural, unnecessary and sinful or blameworthy.
Genuine reason only sees and knows or does not see and therefore does not know and therefore genuine reason cannot doubt.
You need force to doubt, refuse to accept as true what you see or is proposed to you and as a result of doubting or refusing to accept, you become uncertain, your mental force is stirred in a disorganized way as to be not sure.
Just as whatever contact through sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste can be pleasant, extremely pleasant, neither pleasant nor unpleasant or unpleasant, extremely unpleasant, it is totally unnecessary, stressful and wastes energy to stir one’s mental force attractively or repulsively to like or dislike it, in the same way, whatever you see or is told is either true or false or you don’t know, what is there to stir your mental force unnecessarily, stressfully and wasteful to doubt or refuse to accept that then leads to tormenting uncertainty? Thus anyone who doubts or questions is a pervert and headed for the destination of perversion, eternal punishment.
WHEN HE SEES OR HEARS SOMETHING OR SOMETHING IS PROPOSED TO HIM, WHETHER IT IS A SIMPLE MATTER (I HAVE BOUGHT A CAR) OR OTHERWISE (THERE IS GOD OR LIFE AFTER DEATH) THE DOUBTER AUTOMATICALLY TAKES ISSUE (IS THAT SO? REALLY?). AS A RESULT OF DOUBTING HE MUST BE BESET BY EMOTIONAL UNCERTAINTY OR CONFUSION.
AND DOUBTING AND UNCERTAINTY ARE CONDITIONING SO THAT WITH PRACTICE THE DOUBTER INCREASINGLY DOUBTS AND EXPERIENCES UNCERTAINTY TO GREATER INTENSITIES EVEN OVER TRIVIAL MATTERS AND HE IS HEADED FOR INSANITY.
Holy water:
Bishop urges ban on holy water to halt swine flu.
Many even those educated and think they are very spiritual believe in the efficacy of holy water, that sprinkling or dabbling someone with water can cleanse the person.
AS THE BUDDHA SAID, SO LONG AS THE PERSON REMAINS SINFUL IN HIS ACTIONS AND SPEECH NO AMOUNT OF DABBING OF HOLY WATER CAN CLEANSE HIM AND CONVERSELY, IF THE PERSON IS CLEAN IN HIS SPEECH AND ACTIONS, WHAT USE IS THERE TO DAUB HIM IN HOLY WATER?
IF A PERSON IS OF UNCLEAN SPIRIT NO AMOUNT OF HOLY WATER CAN CLEAN HIM.
THE DISPENSING OF HOLY WATER IS A RITUAL AND FAITH IN RITUALS AND RULES ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA IS ONE OF THREE LOWER FETTERS TO FUTURE WOE. WATER CANNOT MAKE ANYONE HOLY, IF IT WAS THAT SIMPLE THEN EVERYONE SHOULD DAUB HIMSELF IN HOLY WATER AND ALL GO TO HEAVEN AND THERE WILL NOT BE NEED FOR THIS WORLD OF SUFFERING.
To perceive the water as holy when it is just plain water is dicing with false perception or delusion that will end in insanity.
AS THE BUDDHA SAID, SINFULNESS AND HOLINESS IS A MATTER FOR THE INDIVIDUAL, NO ONE CAN MAKE ANOTHER HOLY WHAT MORE THAT WATER CAN MAKE YOU HOLY. BY SELF SIN IS DONE AND BY SELF SIN IS LEFT UNDONE.
No understanding is needed to follow rules:
“If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman” is a rule that states that in a certain situation you do this, in another situation you do that.
Learning a language like English is not a matter of understanding, has nothing to do with understanding but it is entirely a matter of being successfully programmed in English. Thus if you have successfully learnt to speak and write in English, it means the software of English, of how to encode and decode English into objects and actions have been successfully installed into your mind.
Thus once you are competent in encoding and decoding in English, when confronted with a statement or rule like “If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman”, if it fascinates you, you painstakingly memorize it (no understanding needed to memorize) and you then rehash it from memory as frequent as you like and in rehashing you decode those words into the various objects (eg man, woman, something) and actions (eg want, said, ask) either mentally or in deed.
Thus no understanding is involved from hearing, committing to memory, retrieval from memory and then carrying out the instructions of the rule, “If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman”. If you think understanding is needed you may have false perception, have been hoodwinked or tricked.
Not a paradox at all:
All paradoxes are apparent than real and therefore false.
Thus it appears a paradox that stylish emotional people seem to understand certain things but have difficulty or no understanding for other things, they appear to be rehashing everything they say or do and yet ‘understand’ what is said or done to them.
The understanding that people who are robots or rehash everything they say or do is not true understanding because no understanding is involved in them saying or doing those things, in them perceiving and carrying out instructions spoken or written.
IT IS NOT A PARADOX THAT PEOPLE CAN READ AND WRITE EVEN TO VERY SOPHISTICATED LEVELS AND YET NOT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE UNDERSTANDING IS NOT REQUIRED TO READ OR WRITE EVEN TO SOPHISTICATED LEVELS, WHAT IS INVOLVED IS COMPETENCE IS ENCODING OBJECTS AND ACTIONS INTO THE LANGUAGE AND DECODING THE WORDS HEARD OR READ INTO OBJECTS AND ACTIONS.
JUST AS INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED ROBOTS CAN BE PROGRAMMED TO DRIVE SAFELY THROUGH AN OBSTACLE COURSE BY ITSELF AND IT POSSESS NO UNDERSTANDING AT ALL, IT MERELY DOES AS IT IS TOLD OR PROGRAMMED, IN THE SAME WAY NO UNDERSTANDING IS NEEDED OR INVOLVED FOR A BEING TO SUCCESSFULLY SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD. SURVIVAL IS NOT ABOUT UNDERSTANDING BUT PROGRAMMING.
Rehashing is pure copying:
In rehashing, there is a copy of what you said or did in your mental jukebox and you are merely activating it as faithfully as you can. When you have rehashed something many times it becomes very slick, can be done at high speed without any flaws like a mirror copy of the original in the mental hard disk. If you seldom rehashed something (eg kissing a girl that you have only memorized others doing it but not yourself) it can become very hesitant, anxiety arousing and prone to errors of execution (eg wrong order of actions).
No understanding is needed to rehash, just retrieval of the copy, reading or scanning it and then reproducing as faithfully as possible.
No understanding is needed to create the copy too because it is often if not always copied from others. You can splice and rejoin the copies in your mental jukebox to create ‘new’ behaviours or speech but that too is mechanical, does not require understanding.
Because there are copies in society of whatever and however someone does something by rehash (eg how he smiles or hits a tennis ball, how and what he thinks), it is likely if not certainly that the behaviour was copied from others with no understanding required just as no understanding is required to rehash from your own copy in the mind.
NO UNDERSTANDING IS EVER NEEDED TO REHASH FROM WHAT IS A COPY ON YOUR MENTAL HARD DISK, IT IS MERELY A MECHANICAL PROCESS OF SEARCH, RETRIEVAL, ACTIVATING AND CONVERTING WHAT IS ON THE COPY INTO WORDS OR ACTIONS. BECAUSE WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY OR DO ARE NOT UNIQUE, THERE ARE SIMILAR COPIES OF THEM EXISTING IN SOCIETY, THEY MUST HAVE SOMEHOW COPIED IT FROM EACH OTHER AND NO UNDERSTANDING TOO IS NEEDED TO COPY IT FROM EACH OTHER, JUST PERCEPTION, MEMORIZATION AND DECODING FROM MEMORY.
BECAUSE IT IS TRUTH THAT THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE NOT JUST OF ALL OF EMOTIONAL STYLISH PEOPLE’S THINKING, SPEECH AND ACTIONS BUT ALSO WHAT AND HOW THEY PERCEIVE IS ALWAYS REHASHED WITH NO UNDERSTANDING INVOLVED OR NEEDED, NO UNDERSTANDING IS NEEDED OR INVOLVED IN THEIR USUAL CARRYING OUT OF THEIR EXISTENCE.
IN REHASHING, WHATEVER YOU SAY OR DO IS ALREADY PREDETERMINED, FIXED IN THE COPY IN YOUR MENTAL HARD DISK, SO WHAT IS THERE TO UNDERSTAND?
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE REHASHING ALL THE TIME AND NO UNDERSTANDING IS NEEDED OR INVOLVED IN REHASHING, NO UNDERSTANDING IS PRESENT ALL THE TIME AND THUS THEY DO NOT HAVE UNDERSTANDING.
IN OTHER WORDS, WHENEVER A PERSON REHASHES, NO UNDERSTANDING IS REQUIRED AND IN FACT UNDERSTANDING IS DETRIMENTAL TO REHASHING AND BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE REHASHING ALL THE TIME, NO UNDERSTANDING IS INVOLVED ALL THE TIME AND DE FACTO THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING.
Understanding is inimical to rehash:
Not only is (true) understanding not required or involved in rehashing but it is inimical to successful rehashing because true understanding will tell the person that what he is dishing out is false, dishonest, recycled to meet demands and stressful and totally unnecessary and meaningless.
Just as they are constantly rehashing and they don’t see and understand they are doing so, they have no understanding, what they call their understanding is their ability to communicate or carry out what is instructed verbally.
Difficulty being programmed not difficulty understanding:
When people experience difficulty making others understand or they have difficulty understanding others, it is not understanding but programming that is involved.
If the person is difficult to programmed you have to use force and repetition to hammer what you want say or want him to do before it sticks, it is registered in his mental jukebox and he can carry out an approximation of what you want him to say or do.
WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEY HAVE DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING YOU, THEY MEAN THEY HAVE DIFFICULTY BEING PROGRAMMED BY YOU, THERE ARE NO EXISTING PROGRAMS IN THEIR HARD DISKS THAT CORRESPOND TO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND THEY HAVE DIFFICULTY PROGRAMMING THEMSELVES WITH WHAT YOU SAY. WHEN PEOPLE SAY A PERSON IS HARD TO TEACH THEY MEAN HE IS HARD TO PROGRAM NOT MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND.
Rehashing is both easy and difficult:
This is not a paradox but fully understandable.
Rehashing is easy because there are a lot of social pressures to join in to rehash and all the behaviour in speech and actions here have a simultaneous accompanying of force changes (prolonging, changing speed and strength) that is recording, that forcibly imprints on the recipient’s memory like an infiltrated computer virus so that the recipient is compelled to rehash from it.
If you pay attention you may realize that a tune or song keeps playing in your mind after you have heard it on the radio and what is happening is that the song is being rehashed repetitively often beyond your ability to stop it, only when something happens to occupy your attention eg you crashed your car does the song in your mind stop playing.
All beings actually have perfect memory, the ‘pathetic’ forgetful state of emotional people’s minds is the result of their lifelong wilful selective paying attention to certain things but not others, the division of their attention by the simultaneous divisive substance and style combo of theirs and everybody else’s stylish speech and their wilful use of force to forget or erase certain unpleasant, dislikeable memories.
Because even forgetful people have fairly decent memories, the accompanying force changes in the substance and style of whatever they hear or see is easily recorded even against their wishes into their mental hard disks and thereafter it is a matter of them adopting or putting into practice themselves these memorized speech and actions.
Whatever is false does not require reason to occur and if you keep desiring what is false to occur, in time to come it becomes constant. Because rehashed speech and actions are false, imitations, they do not need reason to occur and can occur at any time depending on the wishes of the rehashing person. If the rehashing person keeps rehashing to meet demands of coping with society, in time to come rehashing becomes the default or constant way of speaking or doing things.
THUS REHASHING IS EASY BECAUSE:
1) ALL BEINGS HAVE VERY GOOD MEMORIES EVEN DESPITE THEIR ABUSIVE SELECTIVE REMEMBERING AND FORGETTING PRACTICES THAT INCREASINGLY MANGLES THEIR MEMORY AND THE SIGNIFICANT EVEN VIOLENT FORCE CHANGES (PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH) ACCOMPANYING ALL SPEECH AND ACTIONS THEY ARE EXPOSED TOO AUTOMATICALLY IMPRINTS ITSELF INTO THE RECIPIENT’S MEMORY AND THEREAFTER IT IS A MATTER OF THEM ADOPTING OR PUTTING INTO PRACTICE BY REHASHING FROM THE RECORDED SPEECH AND ACTIONS THEY HEARD OR SAW FROM OTHERS.
2) EVERYONE HERE IS REHASHING AND THERE IS COMPELLING PRESSURES TO SIMILAR REHASH OR FACE OSTRACIZATION AND IT IS THE NATURE OF WHATEVER IS FALSE THAT IF YOU KEEP REHASHING, IN TIME TO COME IT IS CONSTANT AND REHASHING IS THE DEFAULT MODE OF SPEAKING OR DOING THINGS EVEN WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE TO FRESHLY COMPOSE AND RENDER.
Rehashing is actually more difficult, precarious, consumes more energy than live specific to the occasion speech and actions. One has to memorize and file all that one wants to say or do into memory and then when it is required, one has to search one’s mental jukebox for the right file to replay. For most routine circumstances, the files that are frequently used are readily located and replayed but in certain situations that are more demanding, where what one wants to say or do is more complicated, then the search for and retrieving and replaying from the file can be strenuous, hesitant, anxiety arousing and prone to errors.
IF SOMETHING YOU SAY OR DO SPRINGS FROM FULL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE SITUATION IS ABOUT, IS FULLY TAILORED FOR THAT SITUATION WHENCE THE ANXIETY? IT IS ONLY IF YOU ARE REHASHING AND THE SITUATION IS INTIMIDATING (MANY GOATS IN THE AUDIENCE GLARING AT YOU), WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SAY OR DO REQUIRES COMPLICATED RETRIEVING AND RENDITIONING THAT YOU MAY LOSE TRACK OF IT DOES IT AROUSES ANXIETY THAT THEN MAKES IT EVEN MORE LIKELY YOU WILL MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF.
For simple or routine matters rehashing can be quite easy but rehashing instead of freshly composing and rendering for the occasion is more difficult when what is rehashed is more complicated. Rehashing requires that your attention strays from the present as you access your mental hard disk to search for, decide which track to play and replay the tract. A person who does not rehash stays in the present, is fully in touch with reality because he does not have to search his mental jukebox for tracks to play, does not have to decide which track is more appropriate and does not have to pay attention to accurately rehash what is recorded.
Further whatever is rehashed is inflexible, cannot be modified, it must be rehashed as recorded. You may try to modify your recording later by recording and recording again and again but whenever rendering, except for errors of reproduction, what is rehashed is as recorded. If there is no recording, the rehasher is frozen, does not know what to say or do or mumbles some nonsense or gibberish.
BECAUSE REHASHING IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT AND TORMENTING, MEANINGLESS, YOU BECOME A ROBOT RATHER THAN MASTER NO ONE WHO HAS TASTED FRESHLY COMPOSED SPECIFIC TO THE OCCASION SPEECH AND ACTION WILL REVERT TO REHASHING. AND SO IT IS THAT THOSE WHO REHASH, WHO HAVE STYLE IN WHAT THEY SAY OR DO HAS NEVER KNOWN ‘NOT REHASHING’, THEY ARE FULL TIME SOMNOLENT REHASHERS WHO THINK THEY ARE FULL OF MEANING BEINGS WHEN THEY ARE DEAD LIVELESS ROBOTS.
Telling lies is always more difficult than telling the truth:
No matter who you are, more effort is needed and it is more difficult to tell a lie than the truth.
In order to tell lies, you must fabricate and then lie according to a plan and therefore you are a slave to that plan not master. You do not need to fabricate to tell the truth and do not have to tell the truth according to a plan.
Even just to deny you stole when you did requires more effort because you have to use force to mentally negate the awareness you stole, you have to hide the awareness from the other person (by acting unfazed or even angry at being wrongly accused) and then you have to use force to ram home what you know is false, “I did not steal it”.
IN THE SAME WAY, REHASHING WHICH IS FALSE, A FAKE OF WHAT IS REHASHED IS GENUINE SPECIFIC FOR THE OCCASION IS ALWAYS MORE DIFFICULT, CONSUMES MORE ENERGY TO CREATE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION COMPARED TO TRUE FRESHLY COMPOSED SPECIFIC FOR THE OCCASION SPEECH AND ACTION.
Then why do people tell lies when it is more difficult? The reason is because they cannot be honest, they want to gain unrighteously, to get along with others, to please, impress, intimidate and dominate others.
What happens to someone under your custody is your responsibility:
It seems the DAP man who fell to his death under the ACA’s custody committed suicide or it may be an intimidatory act of dangling him out the window that went wrong.
MANY ARE GUNGHO ABOUT ARRESTING OTHERS BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO A PERSON UNDER YOUR CUSTODY (AS WITH ALTANTURYA) IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND NO MATTER HOW YOU MAY DENY IT, YOU HAVE TO PAY BACK DEARLY FOR THE DEATHS OF THOSE HELD ILLEGALLY UNDER YOUR CUSTODY.
You don’t have to show it:
No matter how genuinely pleasurable something you are experiencing is, you don’t have to show it (by smiling and other expressions of delight), ‘showing it’ is something separate, additional, false intended to impress others or make them envious or jealous.
Rather than enhance the pleasure, showing it subtracts from the pleasure because it divides the person’s attention from fully enjoying the pleasure and it creates stress fabricating delight to attract others.
IT IS NOT NATURAL TO SMILE AND EXPRESS DELIGHT FOR WHATEVER EXPERIENCE THAT IS PLEASURABLE THAT YOU ARE ENJOYING BUT SHOWING IT IS SOMETHING ARTIFICIAL, CONTRIVED, FAKED & SINFUL TO IMPRESS OR TRY TO AROUSE JEALOUSY OR ENVY IN OTHERS.
RATHER THAN ENHANCING THE PLEASURE SHOWING IT DETRACTS BY DIVERTING FULL ATTENTION FROM ENJOYING TO SHOWING IT, IT IS STRESSFUL AND ROBOTIC TO FABRICATE DELIGHT THAT GIVES AN UNPLEASANT AFTERTASTE TO THE PLEASURABLE EXPERIENCE AFTER IT PASSES. THEREFORE ANYONE WHO THINKS SHOWING IT IS NATURAL, ENHANCES THE PLEASURE EXPERIENCE IS A PERVERT AND FOOL.
Showing it requires work and being a robot:
In order to show it you must express and in order to express you must have a plan of what and how to express (eg smile gleefully, gesticulate excitedly) that has differences and similarities with others’ but is stereotyped or fixed in you that you keep using force to activate again and again when situations demand. In other words to express you must do work and waste energy and become a robot condemned to rehash again and again those same old expressions of showing it.
No matter how may deny or not see it, showing it is de facto boasting and anyone who likes to show it is very proud of himself or herself. Boasting and pride are never pleasurable but suffering, are qualities exalted by men but an abomination in the sight of God and so you are heading for future suffering.
You are rich but you do not have to show it by wearing fancy clothes and ornaments, you do not have dress up your house expensively.
You are happy but you do not have to show it.
NO WORK IS REQUIRED TO EXPERIENCE EVEN EXTREME PLEASURE BUT WORK MUST ALWAYS BE DONE TO EXPRESS PLEASURE OR SHOW IT FOR OTHERS TO SEE.
How come they don’t understand?
When I speak of people not understanding I am not talking about exotic truths that are of little practical or daily relevance but I am talking about everyday matters of vital or fundamental importance.
If people in this world, especially highly intellectual ones understand, why do they still manifest showing it or expressing to impress others?
How come they understand that showing it is artificial, something that is additional, unnecessary, detracts from the pleasure experience and commits the person to being a robot?
If people in this world understand how come they manifest style or always stretch syllables, change speed and loudness when it is totally unnecessary, meaningless and leads to stress, restlessness and distraction in themselves and is the source of the sadness, hurt, confusion and fear they must experience?
They cannot even see themselves using force to stretch, change speed and loudness let alone understand that it is totally unnecessary, meaningless and harmful rather than meaningful or good that they perceive.
RPK really doesn’t know:
Quote: I really don’t know what is running through the minds of the DAP, PKR and PAS leaders. Are they really that stupid? Are they really that politically un-savvy? Or is it they lack the political maturity and civility so important in ensuring that political leaders become good leaders?
Seriously, I really don’t know whether I want to write anything today. I also don’t know whether I should write my normal cheong hei article or just deliver a quick and sharp jab to the jugular.
Comment: If you ‘really’ (you mean you can fake) don’t know something then you should not speak about it and in the next breath he does provide evidence he has some idea of what he ‘really’ does not know, that PR leaders are that stupid or politically unsavvy or immature politically.
You can only know or don’t know, the really is unnecessary and meaningless or serves to admit you can be dishonest, you can fake you don’t know when you do and on this occasion you ‘really’ don’t know.
What is the point of talking of something you really don’t know, the point of talking about whether you want to write anything today? It reflects muddled emotional thinking that is not only suffering but conditioning such that if not weaned off, will end in torment.
He is expressing his anger and dejection (hurt) regarding the actions of PR leaders that has so stirred his mind he is ‘speechless’, he has so many things to say and nothing to say. All this is mad and unless you grow up, shed your emotions, shed your tantrums and go to the heart or substance of a matter you are conditioning yourself to madness.
This is unlikely the first or will be the last time RPK says this and it is rehashed, copied from others without truly understanding that what is said is untenable or false, meaningless and self defeating and encourages others to similarly adopt this attitude.
If you really don’t know what is running through the minds of PR leaders then you shouldn’t discuss their actions, ask if they are so stupid, un-savvy or immature. You are speculating or indulging in falsity proffering those explanations and it contradicts what you said earlier that you really don’t know. Whether you are aware you are contradicting yourself or not, there will be subconscious conflict or clashing of mental forces and you are conditioning yourself to conflict that will end in going berserk.
IF YOU TRULY DO NOT KNOW ABOUT A MATTER THEN YOU SHOULD NOT DWELL ABOUT IT. IF YOU SPECULATE, YOU ARE GUESSING THAT IMPLIES YOU HAVE SOME IDEAS NOT DON’T KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING. FOR FEAR OF MISLEADING OTHERS AND CONFUSING YOURSELF YOU SHOULD TOTALLY ABSTAIN FROM COMMENTING ON ANYTHING YOU DO NOT KNOW.
Not only can rehash but always and the only way they know:
Not only are emotional and stylish people in this world capable of rehashing, they always rehash whatever they say or do (instead of freshly composing for each occasion) and it is the only way they know how to say or do things.
When a newsreader reads the news he is rehashing from a piece of paper, when Obama speaks from a teleprompter he is rehashing from the teleprompter and whenever a person sings a favourite song, he is purely rehashing.
Just as you do not realize you are rehashing when you sing a song, you do not realize you are rehashing all the time, rehashing is the only way you know how to say or do things.
Accompanying force changes automatically records:
If a speech or action a person hears or sees has accompanying force changes namely force prolonging, changing speed and strength, these force changes automatically records or imprints itself on the memory of the recipient whether he likes it or not. You may resist it once or twice but after being bombarded many times with speech or actions that have even violent force prolonging, changing speed and strength, it soon sticks very well, keeps ringing or repeating in your mind such that it is compelling you physically in speech and action imitate those virtual force changes. And so it is that most children ‘learn’ or copy to speak like their fathers and mothers. No understanding is needed or involved in copying how to speak like your father or mother, just imitation through forceful incessant bombardment of substance and style speech and action is required.
NOT ONLY CAN PEOPLE REHASH, THEY REHASH ALL THE TIME BECAUSE EVERYWHERE THEY TURN TO, THEY ARE BOMBARDED BY SPEECH AND ACTIONS WITH EVEN VIOLENT FORCE CHANGES (PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH) THAT IMPRINTS ON THE MINDS AND ACT AS TEMPLATES FOR THEM TO COPY WHOLESALE OR ADOPT PERSONAL MODIFICATION THAT IS USUALLY BITS AND PIECES OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE’S STYLES.
WHATEVER CAN BE SEEN OR HEARD OF WHAT OTHERS SAY OR DO ARE PLANS AND THE ACCOMPANYING FORCE CHANGES OF THOSE PLANS SERVE TO HAMMER THOSE PLANS IN THOSE WHO SEE AND HEAR SUCH THAT THEY SOON ADOPT THOSE PLANS WHOLESALE LIKE ROBOTS.
Force is always ascendant:
Whenever something said or done has accompanying force (eg force prolonging, changing speed and strength), it is the force accompanying that is ascendant and whatever meaning or substance in what is said or done plays second fiddle or is totally false.
True reason only sees and understands, it has no force to counter force. Thus if force is present, reason is pushed aside even thrown out of the window so that force reigns supreme in the foolish person who is indulgent of his mental force.
REASON HAS NO FORCE TO FIGHT FORCE AND SO IT IS PUSHED ASIDE OR VANQUISHED WHENEVER FORCE IS PRESENT AND THUS IT IS THAT WILL EMOTIONAL STYLISH PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSTANTLY USING UNNECESSARY FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS, TRUE REASON IS PUSHED ASIDE UNTIL IT BECOMES ATROPHIC EVEN EXTINCT.
Why you need to shout repetitively, slowly:
Often, especially with those who are dim witted or more stupid you have to literally shout your instructions slowly and repeatedly before it sticks, eg you have to tell the person repeatedly, “take that right turn, go straight and then turn left” or “6337455” a few times before it clicks.
Why is that so?
This is so because it is not reason or understanding that is involved but it is forceful blind rote imprinting that is involved.
YOU NEED TO USE FORCE REPEATEDLY TO HAMMER THE MESSAGE OR TELEPHONE NUMBER UNTIL IT STICKS IN THE MEMORY OR RAM MEMORY OF THE PERSON LISTENING SO THAT HE CAN CARRY OUT THE INSTRUCTION BASED ON THAT RECORDING IN HIS RAM OR MEMORY.
THE FACT THAT YOU NEED TO REPEAT SLOWLY, REPEATEDLY, DELIBERATELY WITH ADDED FORCE CHANGES TO TELL SOMEONE WHAT TO DO INDICATES THAT IT IS NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT IS INVOLVED, IT IS BRUTE IMPRINTING OF THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY INTO THAT PERSON’S MEMORY SO THAT HE CAN USE THE COPY RECORDED IN HIS MEMORY TO CARRY OUT WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO DO.
IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES, WHAT YOU SAY CORRESPONDS TO MESSAGES OR PLANS ALREADY RECORDED IN THAT PERSON’S MENTAL JUKEBOX SUCH THAT WHEN YOU INSTRUCT HIM, HE QUICKLY OR HAS ALREADY LOCATED THE MATCHING PLANS, HE NODS HIS HEAD AND CARRIES OUT THOSE SELECTED PLANS WHICH IS WHY IT IS SO QUICK TO TELL HIM WHAT TO DO.
THE REASON WHY PEOPLE QUICKLY ‘UNDERSTAND’ WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO IS BECAUSE THERE ARE ALREADY PLANS OF WHAT YOU WANTED THEM TO DO IN THEIR HEADS AND WHEN THEY HEAR WHAT YOU SAY, THEY MERELY LOCATE AND ACTIVATE THOSE PLANS. WHEN THERE ARE NO PLANS THEY STRUGGLE, YOU NEED FORCE AND REPETITION TO RECORD THE NEW PLAN IN THEIR HEADS.
IT IS NOT THE FRESH SPECIFIC TO THE OCCASION UNDERSTANDING THAT ATTENDS WHAT YOU SAY TO ANOTHER BUT IT IS A MATTER OF RECORDING THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF WHAT YOU SAY INTO THAT PERSON’S MENTAL HARD DISK AND BASED ON THAT RECORDING HE CAN CARRY OUT ITS INSTRUCTIONS THAT IS UNDERLYING TRUTH OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN A COMMUNCATION BETWEEN TWO PERSONS.
Record first, digest and then carry out:
When something is said to people who are robots, they must record it first either to their minds or to pieces of paper as when students take notes following their lecturers on a ward round. After they have recorded it raw in their mental or paper jukeboxes, they then ruminate over it, go over and over to refine it until it is well recorded and based on the recording they carry out the actions or speech of that recording and so it is all about mechanical recording and playback with no understanding involved or needed.
Understanding not involved:
Whenever people communicate with each other it is not true understanding or seeing and knowing that is involved but it is mechanical recording of what is said to be digested or discarded later that is involved. If the person has heard the message before or thinks rightly or wrongly he has heard it before, it is a matter of him cursorily activating that recording to convince himself he ‘understood’ when it is just a matter of rehashing the rote fixed understanding.
THE TRUTH MAY BE THAT NO TRUE UNDERSTANDING IS INVOLVED IN CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN TWO ROBOTS.
IF SOMETHING SAID IS NEW, THERE IS NO CORRESPONDING RECORDING THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED TO FIT WHAT IS SAID, YOU HAVE TO MECHANICALLY USING FORCE AND REPETITION TO RECORD THE MESSAGE INTO HIM THAT ONCE RECORDED, THE PERSON CAN DIGEST IT OR DISCARD IT LATER ACCORDING TO HIS LIKE OR DISLIKE.
IF SOMETHING SAID IS FAMILIAR, THEN IT IS A MATTER OF THE PERSON RECOGNIZING THE FAMILIARITY AND REHASHING THE RECORDED UNDERSTANDING TO DELUDE HIMSELF HE UNDERSTOOD.
SOMETIMES THE PERSON MAY THINK HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT IS SAID BUT HIS UNDERSTANDING IS WAY OFF, NOT WHAT I AM GETTING AT AND THEN IT IS A CASE OF HIM TWISTING WHAT HE HEARD TO FIT HIS STANDARD EXPLANATIONS OR UNDERSTANDINGS.
They force you to remember:
Just as a song you heard keeps ringing or replaying in your head, you may not need to make effort to remember what someone said but the force changes accompanying forcibly records itself into your memory whether you like it or not and then it is a matter of deciphering or decoding the words of what is said into objects (book, she, them) and actions (take, make, sleep, likes) and having successfully converted the spoken words into objects and actions you think you understood when no understanding was involved, just encoding and decoding what was encoded.
You may not remember many things said to you or did to you but throughout the course of life, cumulatively many things in bits and pieces here and there stick to your mental jukebox and build on themselves such that you soon have a vast repertoire of recorded ‘understandings’ and you are convinced you understand, are capable of understanding when it is just a matter of collecting like some people collect junk, bits and pieces of ideas, programs, instructions, things to do and say that you can rehash ‘appropriately’ to occasions occurring (or fellow robots tell you it is appropriate) to give a semblance or deception that you understand when you don’t, that understanding is involved when it isn’t and it is all about recording and replaying from recording.
Malaysia strongly condemns Jakarta attacks:
The statement is an unwitting admission that force is important and meaningful in stylish emotional people’s perception. By ‘strongly’ he is saying there is great strength as compared to weak strength in Malaysia’s condemnation and that is meaningful because it indicates Malaysia’s sincere or full hearted condemnation.
FORCE IS BLIND AND MEANINGLESS AND JUST BECAUSE THERE IS MORE STRENGTH IN YOUR CONDEMNATION DOES NOT MAKE IT MORE MEANINGFUL OR SINCERE AND IT IS A REFLECTION OF FALSE PERCEPTION THAT WILL END IN MAD PERCEPTION THAT YOUR STRONG CONDEMNATION IS MORE WHOLEHEARTED.
RPK advocates deceit:
If RPK knew he was advocating deceit, he would not have done it and it is because roiled by emotions, he did not understand what he was advocating that he recommended that PR leaders not say or do the things they said or did because it was stupid, politically ‘un-savvy’ and immature.
You do not not say or do something because it is stupid, politically un-savvy or immature but you do not say or do it because it is false or unbeneficial.
Thus if you want to say or do something but you refrained from saying or doing it because it is stupid, politically un-savvy or immature then you did not say what you mean or you are deceitful and this is not the way to heaven.
What people say or don’t say is none of your business, they will have to account to God for what they said or did. If you advice them to behave in certain ways and they are deceitful, then you are responsible for their sins.
Understanding what he said, how come RPK did not understand he is advocating dishonesty or deceit, something that he is avowedly opposed?
Talking to the mechanic and stock broker:
When you instruct your mechanic to change the oil and filter and check the brakes or tell your broker to buy ‘X’ shares at ‘Y’ price and he rapidly acknowledges and carries out as instructed, you think he understands you and he thinks he understands you but you may both be deluded because no understanding is involved.
THE REASON WHY THE MECHANIC AND STOCK BROKER SWIFTLY CORRECTLY PROCESSED YOUR INSTRUCTIONS IS NOT BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD YOUR INSTRUCTIONS BUT THERE ARE PRE-EXISTING PROGRAMS IN HIS HEAD TO CHANGE OIL AND FILTER, BUY SHARES AND HE IS MERELY PERCEIVING YOUR INSTRUCTIONS TO ACTIVATE THOSE PROGRAMS RELEVANT AND CARRYING IT OUT.
To a new mechanic or broker or someone who is not familiar with your instruction styles, you may have to hammer with force repeatedly into him so that the unfamiliar message sticks and based on a recording of the message in his mind, he converts that message into objects and actions required to carry it out. After a few interactions with you, he gets the hang of what you want or there are recordings of what you want in his mental jukebox that he merely activates, does not need to record and convert into actions and objects.
THUS THE REASON WHY YOU HAVE TO PAINSTAKINGLY, REPEATEDLY INSTRUCT A MECHANIC OR BROKER YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH TO DO CERTAIN THINGS IS BECAUSE THERE ARE NO RECORDINGS IN HIS MIND CORRESPONDING TO WHAT YOU WANT, HE HAS TO MEMORIZE WHAT YOU INSTRUCTED TO SLOWLY DECODE THEM INTO THE REQUIRED ACTIONS AND OBJECTS.
NO UNDERSTANDING IS ACTUALLY INVOLVED, IT IS A MATTER OF ENCODING THE RECIPIENT AND THE RECIPIENT MEMORIZING AND DECODING IT LATER OR HIM FINDING PRE-EXISTING PROGRAMS IN HIS MIND AND SELECTING AND PLAYING THEM BACK.
Vicarious and genuine understanding:
Whatever people say or do can be examined and found to be true (eg I stole it, I killed him) or false or nonsense (makes no sense, gibberish).
Even if what you said is true (I killed him), if it has accompanying style and is rehashed, the understanding is not genuine but vicarious or as a spectator or second hand rather than as the first hand or hands on intimate understanding.
Because there is a stereotyped style to whatever emotional people say or do what they said or did must be rehashed either directly or cobbled from various pieces of different recordings, their understanding is at best vicarious or spectator like rather than personal.
IF WHAT YOU SAID OR DO IS FALSE OR NONSENSE THERE CANNOT BE ANY TRUE UNDERSTANDING AT ALL.
IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE, THEN BECAUSE THERE IS A STEREOTYPED STYLE IN IT THAT IS CONSISTENT IN YOU, IT MUST BE REHASHED AND WHATEVER THAT IS REHASHED, EVEN IF TRUE, THE UNDERSTANDING IS VICARIOUS, SPECTATOR LIKE OR SECOND HAND.
ONLY WHEN SOMETHING SAID IS FRESHLY SPECIFICALLY COMPOSED SHORN OF STYLE FOR THE OCCASION IS THE UNDERSTANDING PERSONAL AND FIRST HAND.
Why there can be no quick recovery:
The facts are there to be seen, you don’t need to be a Greenspan or professor of economics to see and it reflects the world’s lack of understanding that it nevertheless perceives a quick recovery is on the cards or possible.
The previous world boom was predicated to a greater extent than even people concede on America living way beyond its means by printing pieces of intrinsically worthless paper to pay for its goods that the world not only happily received but kept in the US for the US to reuse so that in effect the US was having a ‘whopping big free lunch’.
Now that the US’ finance has been found to be shaky, the US is tottering under massive debts and the value of the paper it issues is being questioned, it is unlikely if not certainly that the world’s appetite for those pieces of green paper will be considerably reduced and without the mirage of a rich uncle spending so that the world can find useful work pandering to its surfeit, there is no likelihood of reverting to the excesses of the past.
Further the previous boom was predicated on bankers lending too much money than there actually was, on criminal practices and now that it has been found out, we cannot revert to the past and without reverting to the past reckless and criminal practices, there cannot be a boom of the past.
In the past money was lent without backup (it was supposed to be insured but insurers did not have the backup to pay), people with poor credit ratings were lent to both in housing and credit card finance, a lot of the money lent out is irretrievably lost and so without getting back the money lost through reckless lending, without lending without backing or reserves in case of default, how can the economy so quickly revert to the boom of the past.
THERE IS ANOTHER FACTOR THAT PEOPLE FAIL TO CONTENT WITH AND IT IS THAT THE EARTH HAS BEEN PLUNDERED RECKLESSLY BY MANKIND TO THE BRINK OF INSTABILITY AND COLLAPSE. IT IS THE EARTH THAT SUSTAINS MANKIND AND IT IS POISED TO LASH BACK AT ITS TORMENTORS, FISHERIES AND FOOD PRODUCTION MAY BE NEAR COLLAPSE AND FAMINE ON THE WAY.
Which the world’s biggest economy?
The US is by far the biggest economy with a GDP of 14 trillion followed by China with 8 trillion and Japan 4.3 trillion.
Rather than a cause for celebration, it is a cause for alarm because it is the only nation in this world that pays for its purchases with the rest of the world with worthless paper that it prints that it is not accountable to any independent body.
THUS THE WORLD ECONOMY IS PREPONDERANTLY DEPENDANT ON THE US TO POWER ITS CONSUMPTION THAT KEEPS THE REST OF THE WORLD HUMMING IN PRODUCTION. THE US IS LIKE THE FAT QUEEN BEE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD THE TERMITES PRODUCING FOR HER. NOW IF THIS FAT UNCLE THE US IS FOUND TO BE NEAR BANKRUPT, INSOLVENT, ITS PAPER MONEY NOT AS SACROSANCT AS THEY WERE LED TO BELIEVE IN THE PAST, COULD THE WORLD SHUT ITS EYES AND BLINDLY ACCEPT WITH FAITH THESE PIECES OF PAPER?
EVEN MUCH EARLIER THE WORLD SHOULD HAVE AWAKENED TO ITS SENSES AND NOT PERMIT THE US TO PAY WITH PIECES OF PAPER BUT REFLECTING ITS FOLLY, IT CONTINUED TO ALLOW THINGS TO FESTER UNTIL THEY HAVE NOW COME TO A CRISIS.
Grim Determination:
Determination is about force and the determined person is always a robot carrying out a plan.
You need a plan to carry out with force to be determined and to be grimly determined is to be implacable, to use whatever force and endurance to carry out that plan.
Thus the grimly determined soldier has a plan to climb up a slope and he does that despite the enemy fire.
BECAUSE GRIM DETERMINATION IS ABOUT THE USE OF FORCE TO FULFILL A PLAN IT IS ABOUT BEING A ROBOT AND BAD RATHER THAN WORSHIPPED AS HUMANS DO AND IT AGAIN REFLECTS HUMANS FALSE UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY FIND DETERMINATION MEANINGFUL AND GOOD WHEN IT IS FALSE AND BAD, ABOUT BEING A ROBOT TO A PLAN.
YOU WILL BE WISE TO USE GENUINE REASON TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER SOMETHING TO BE DONE IS MEANINGFUL OR NOT AND THEN DO IT WITHOUT GRIM DETERMINATION, TO DO IT THUS WOULD BE TO DO IT BLINDLY WITH FORCE ACCORDING TO A PLAN AND YOU ARE AACKOWLEDGING YOU ARE A ROBOT.
It is always torture to be a robot:
It is possible for a person to exist either as a (somnolent) robot (and it is fulltime, never part time) or non-robot (possible but not seen in this world).
Whether a person is a robot is objective, not subject to dispute, can be clearly discerned by those who are wise.
Compared to a non-robot, it is always a torture even to suicidal, homicidal levels being a robot.
The reason is because the person who is a robot, whether he realizes or not is a total slave of plans, once those plans are installed in his mental hard disk, he is a slave reduced to the option of which plans to select and supplying power that can be varied in intensity to activate to completion those plans.
What he is reduced to is being a voyeur observing & experiencing the sensations, pleasant and unpleasant that activation of those plans bring.
Often he does not even need to select the plans to activate as the jukebox automatically selects for him by knee jerk and when his emotions or mental force is too strongly aroused, he struggles to modulate the power he supplies to his activated plans as when a person is speechless with anger, there is so much force stirred he cannot control their release to speak coherently.
IN MORE SEDATE MOMENTS, WHEN MENTAL FORCE OR EMOTIONS ARE NOT TOO STRONGLY STIRRED OR HE IS NOT TOO INEBRIATED BY STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION, THE PERSON WHO IS A ROBOT HAS REASONABLE CONTROL OVER THE AMOUNT OF FORCE HE INSERTS INTO HIS ACTIVATED PLANS. WHEN HE BECOMES TOO EMOTIONAL OR DISTRACTED EVEN THAT CONTROL OVER FORCE IS LOST.
AGAIN IN CALMER MOMENTS THE ROBOT DETERMINES WHICH PLAN TO ACTIVATE BUT WHEN HE HAS ACTIVATED THAT PLAN MANY TIMES IN THAT SITUATION, THE URGE TO ACTIVATE IT BECOMES TOO COMPELLING FOR HIM TO STOP AND HE LOSES CONTROL OVER THAT PROGRAM. THUS WHEN THE PERSON IS ADDICTED TO ALCOHOL OR SEX, THE URGE TO ACTIVATE DRINKING OR SEXUAL BEHAVIOR BECOME IRRESISTIBLE.
WHATEVER UNDERSTANDING MAY HAVE GONE INTO MAKING A PLAN OR PROGRAM, ONCE THAT PLAN IS FORMULATED, IT BECOMES THE FIXED BOSS AND THE PERSON BECOMES THE SLAVE OR ROBOT USING OR SUPPLYING FORCE THAT HE CAN VARY TO ACTIVATE THAT PLAN. THUS THE WISE PERSON HAS NO PLANS, HE DOES NOT RESORT TO PLANS TO SAY OR DO THINGS.
Once you have a plan you are a robot:
Why bother to formulate a plan if you did not wish to follow it?
Thus once formulated and memorized, the person becomes the slave or robot of that plan.
Thus the sergeant major who shouts ‘left, right, left, right’ is shouting a plan that the marching soldiers obey and they are de facto robots marching in step to the command or order.
It is possible to go through life not only without plans but even without thinking and so you are deluded to think surely you need plans.
If you are not covetous, not deceitful, does not want to please, impress, intimidate or dominate others, you do not need plans, do not even need to think.
Often thinking is unrelated to matters at hand, are distracting, what is required is seeing and hearing and acting on the basis of what you see or hear without thinking.
EVEN THOUGH YOU AND EVERYONE HERE THINK ALL THE TIME, THINK THINKING IS BENIGN AND BENEVOLENT WHEN IT IS UNNECESSARY AND HARMFUL, THE PERSON WHO CAN STOP THINKING AT WILL IS HEADED FOR TWO ETERNITIES IN HEAVEN, IT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR OTHERS TO STOP THINKING AT WILL, TO SEE AND HEAR AND DO OR NOT DO WITHOUT THINKING.
EVEN THOUGH YOU AND EVERYONE HERE HAVE PLANS, DEPEND ON PLANS FOR WHAT YOU SAY OR DO, IT DOES NOT MEAN PLANS ARE NATURAL OR GOOD BUT THEY ARE UNNATURAL AND MEAN YOU MUST BECOME ROBOTS OR SLAVES OF THOSE PLANS.
Where, oh where, has my application gone?
This is a NYT heading.
The ‘oh where’ is totally meaningless, unnecessary, reflects the person’s (real or imagined) stirred emotion anguish (agitation or confusion, one of five emotions like, dislike, sadness, hurt, agitation and fear) that he or she also wants to stir in others.
NOT JUST HERE BUT ALWAYS EVERYTHING PEOPLE SAY OR DO HAS ACCOMPANYING EMOTION (LIKE, DISLIKE, SADNESS, HURT, AGITATION OR FEAR) THAT THE PERSON WANTS TO IMPART OR STIR IN HIS LISTENER. EVEN SCIENTISTS IN THE MIDST OF ‘ERUDITE’ CONVERSATION WANT TO STIR EMOTION, THEY WANT TO BOAST OR IMPRESS COLLEAGUES WITH THEIR SCHOLARSHIP AND BECAUSE EMOTIONS ARE ABOUT BLIND HARMFUL FORCE AND MEANINGLESS, WHAT THEY SAY HAS CONVEYED HARMFULNESS AND MEANINGLESSNESS. BUT THEY PERCEIVE THEIR CONVEYED STYLE AND EMOTION AS MEANINGFUL AND THUS FALSELY PERCEIVING THEY NATURALLY UNDERSTAND FALSELY AND THUS DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
BECAUSE 'OH WHERE' IS TOTALLY UNNECESSARY, HE IS PRACTICING CONTROLLED INSANITY THAT WILL END IN UNCONTROLLABLE INSANITY.
Life spans of gods linked to higher states of the mind:
The life span of men is not fixed and brief compared to the life spans of gods that are fixed and can range from one eon or Age (billions of years) to 2, 4, 500, 20 thousand, 40 thousand and a maximum of 60 thousand eternities in the highest reaches of heaven.
Jesus said the reward for labourers who worked in the vineyard was one denarius and no more and that may correspond to one Age or eon the Buddha described.
What the Buddha taught is that the life span of a god is determined by his attainment of the higher states of mind. Achievement with easy or skilful access of the 1st higher state of mind accords a life span of 1 age in a formed heaven, the second higher state of mind accords 2 eons, the third higher state of mind accords 4 eons and the fourth higher state of mind accords 500 eons.
After attaining with ease the fourth higher state of mind, if the being could overcome all perceptions of matter to access the sphere of infinite space, he has a lifespan of 20,000 eons, if he further overcomes the perception of space to access the sphere of infinite consciousness, he has a lifespan of 40,000 eons and finally if he overcomes the perception of consciousness to access the sphere of nothingness or just activities, he has a lifespan of 60,000 eons
The first higher state is characterised by discursive thinking that is free of sensual desires and de-meritorious thoughts. That is the person cannot stop thinking but his thoughts are wholesome.
In the second higher state of mind, thinking has ceased.
In the third higher state, there is purity of equanimity (neither liking nor disliking or stirring of mental force to be attracted or repulsed) but there is still the experience of pain and pleasure.
In the fourth highest state, all pain and pleasure has ceased, not only does the being neither like nor dislike, he does not feel pain or pleasure. He sees but experiences no pain or pleasure from whatever contact and rather than a deprivation is incomparably pleasant existing to be with neither pain nor pleasure.
After attaining with ease the fourth higher state of mind, it is a matter of the being successively overcoming considerations of matter (infinite space), space (infinite consciousness) and consciousness (nothingness) to achieve a life span of 20, 40, 60 thousand eons.
DEPENDING ON WHICH IS THE HIGHEST STATE OF MIND THAT YOU HAVE DEVELOPED, DWELLED MUCH IN AND DIES WITHOUT LOSING, WHEN YOU PASS AWAY YOU WILL BE BORN IN THAT STATE WITH A CORRESPONDING LIFE SPAN IN EONS OR AGES.
Here, bhikkhus, a certain person secluding from sensual desires and demeritorious thoughts, with thoughts and discursive thoughts (the being is still hampered by thinking) and with joy and pleasantness born of seclusion attains to the first higher state of mind. Enjoying it, longing for it, he attains prosperity in it. Keenly applying himself to it, making much of it and not decreasing from it, he dies and is born with the gods of the sphere of Brahma (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 (he can stop thinking at will) 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 (neither liking nor disliking) abides mindful and aware experiencing pleasantness with the body tooòo this the noble ones say mindful abiding in pleasantness (he still experiences pain and pleasure) with equanimity (neither liking nor disliking). 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 (means that you die without losing that higher state of mind) 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 (pleasant feeling) and unpleasantness (pain), and earlier having dispelled pleasure (dislike) and displeasure (dislike) without unpleasantness and pleasantness and purifying mindfulness with equanimity attains to the fourth higher state of mind. Enjoying it, longing for it he attains prosperity in it. Keenly applying himself to it, making much of it and not decreasing he dies and is born with the gods of Space. The life span of those gods is five hundred forward world cycles. Finishing his complete life span there, he would either be born in hell, as a beast, or as a ghost. As for the noble disciples of The Blessed One, they would finish the complete life span there and would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and diversity between the learned noble disciple and the not learned ordinary man in their course of action, birth and conscience
Here, bhikkhus, a certain person overcoming all perceptions of matter and going beyond perceptions of anger, not attending to various perceptions, [1] With boundless space attains to the sphere of space. He becomes fully satisfied in it, strives after it and prospers in it. Becoming intent on it and making much of it, without falling away from it, he dies and is born with the gods of the sphere of space. The gods of the sphere of space have a life span of twenty thousand forward world cycles. An ordinary person having completed that life span would go even to hell, the animal world or be born with the ghosts. As for the disciples of the Blessed One, completing that life span would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and the peculiarity in the course of action, birth and conscience of the noble disciple and the ordinary person.
Again, bhikkhus, a certain person overcoming all the sphere of space With boundless consciousness attains to the sphere of consciousness. He becomes fully satisfied in it, strives after it and prospers in it. Becoming intent on it and making much of it, without falling away from it, he dies and is born with the gods of the sphere of consciousness. The gods of the sphere of consciousness have a life span of forty thousand forward world cycles. An ordinary person having completed that life span would go even to hell, the animal world or be born with the ghosts. As for the disciples of the Blessed One, completing that life span would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is the difference and the peculiarity in the course of action, birth and conscience of the noble disciple and the ordinary person.
Again, bhikkhus, a certain person overcoming all the sphere of consciousness, with there is nothing attains to the sphere of no-thingness. He becomes fully satisfied in it, strives after it and prospers in it. Becoming intent on it and making much of it, without falling away from it, he dies and is born with the gods of the sphere of no thingness. The gods of the sphere of no-thingness have a life span of sixty thousand forward world cycles. An ordinary person having completed that life span would go even to hell, the animal world or be born with the ghosts. As for the disciples of the Blessed One, completing that life span would extinguish in that same birth. Bhikkhus, this is difference and the peculiarity in the course of action, birth and conscience of the noble disciple and the ordinary person. Bhikkhus, these three persons are evident in the world.
The difference between the third & fourth higher states of mind:
Whilst the difference may be academic for the vast majority, they are not going to experience it themselves, it is a struggle, even out of reach for them to quit this world for one Age of heavenly existence, what more 60,000 Ages of bliss.
WHETHER YOU ACCEPT IT OR NOT, IT MAY BE AS THE BUDDHA TAUGHT THAT THERE ARE PROGRESSIVELY FOUR HIGHER STATES OF MIND AND THEY CAN BE CLEARLY DEFINED AND APART FROM THESE STATES HE DEFINED, THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVE HIGHER STATES. THERE IS ONE HEAVEN AND THERE ARE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE OR DEVIL’S OR PERVERT’S HEAVENS.
The difference between the third and fourth higher states of mind that confer 4 and 500 eons of bliss is that in the third, the being still experiences pain and pleasure but he has pure equanimity, he neither likes nor dislikes or his mental force is not stirred to be attracted or repulsed by whatever impinges on his consciousness whereas in the fourth higher state, even passive feelings (not emotions) of pleasant and unpleasant (also known as pain) are cut off or extinguished.
THUS THE BEING WHO HAS ATTAINED THE FOURTH HIGHER STATE OF MIND STILL EXPERIENCES, SEES AND HEARS BUT HE EXPERIENCES NO PAIN NOR PLEASURE AND FAR FROM BEING A DEPRIVATION OR LOSS, TO BE FREE FROM PAIN AND PLEASURE IS AN INCOMPARABLE RELEASE COMPARED TO BEING SUBJECT TO PAIN AND PLEASURE.
The difference between the first and second higher state is that thinking has ceased in the second stage when the mind is one pointed or unified, freed of all thinking.
Fabrications thence consciousness and space:
The Buddha said that from ignorance as a cause come fabrications or activities of the mind powered by force, from fabrications as a cause comes consciousness and from consciousness comes this world of name and form in space.
Thus as the being becomes progressively refined, he progressively withdraws from name and form to access infinite space, then withdraws from infinite space to infinite consciousness and thence even infinite consciousness to fabrications or activities of the mind or nothingness.
Once the being is enlightened, he ceases to fabricate and that is the end of consciousness, space, name and form, sense media, contact, feelings, emotions. He has cut off all contact with this world of becoming or endless meaningless change.
ONCE A BEING HAS SECURELY ATTAINED THE FOURTH HIGHER STATE OF MIND WHERE HE IS EFFORTLESSLY WITHOUT PAIN OR PLEASURE, HE CAN SUCCESSFULLY OVERCOME IN STAGES PERCEPTIONS OF OBJECTS TO ACCESS INFINITE SPACE, OVERCOME PERCEPTION OF SPACE TO ACCESS INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS, OVERCOME PERCEPTIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS TO ACCESS THE SPHERE OR REALM OF ‘NOTHINGNESS’.
Like and dislike are the two primary emotions:
Notice it is the polar opposites like and dislike whose extinguishing characterizes the third higher state of mind not sadness, hurt, agitation or fear.
As I have said, like and dislike are the two frontline emotions that succour beings here, sadness, hurt, agitation (confusion) and fear are secondary or the results of the stirring of mental force to like (attracted) or dislike (repulsed).
Thus once the being has overcomes all stirring mental force to like or dislike, he has attained the third higher state of mind.
Ordinary people are kidding themselves if they think they are sometimes without like or dislike. The truth is that like and dislike is constant, at lower levels of intensity the foolish person is unaware he is liking and disliking.
Extreme pain & pleasure:
Just as there is pain and extreme pain there is pleasure or pleasantness and extreme pleasure or pleasantness and that has nothing to do with liking.
But it is in the nature of beings trapped here than whenever they experience extreme pain their mental forces are stirred to be repulsed or disliking and that adds to their pain. Just as their mental forces are stirred to be repulsed by pain, their mental forces are stirred to be attracted or liking when they experience pleasure.
SHORN OF LIKING AND DISLIKING, THERE IS STILL EXTREME PAIN AND PLEASANTNESS THAT CAN BE EXPERIENCED BUT ABOVE THEM, THE PERSON WHO HAS OVERCOME ALL FEELINGS OF PAIN AND PLEASURE IS HIGHER, IS FREED FROM THE SUFFERING OF PAIN AND PLEASURE.
DON’T GET TOO EXCITED THAT THERE IS EXTREME PLEASURE TO BE HAD, NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE IS HIGHER.
How you wished there was no pain:
You will not give up existence with pain and pleasure, you think its deprivation makes life meaningless or lesser but when you are wracked by severe unremitting cancer pain, the excruciating pain of broken bones, when you are being burnt in hell like falling into a pit of burning coals not for a day but even hundreds of thousands of years, might you wished that there was no pain and pleasure?
AND SO IT IS THAT FOR BEINGS HOOKED ON PAIN AND PLEASURE, HELL IS A POTENTIAL DESTINATION OF UNREMITTING INTENSE PAIN DEVOID OF ANY PLEASURE AND HEAVEN IS THE DESTINATION OF UNREMITTING PLEASURE WITHOUT PAIN OR SUFFERING BUT THERE IS A HIGHER EXISTENCE WHEREIN THERE IS NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE.
PAIN MUST NOT BE CONFUSED WITH DISLIKE AND PLEASURE WITH LIKE, THEY ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS ALTHOUGH LIKE AND DISLIKE ARE BOTH SOURCES OF SUFFERING OR PAIN, LIKE IS NEVER THE SOURCE OF PLEASURE THAT IT IS FALSELY PERCEIVED TO BE.
EXISTENCE IS FALSE AND EMPTY AND HAS DRAWBACKS AS THE BUDDHA TAUGHT. NO MATTER HOW LONG AND BLISSFUL YOUR LIFESPAN IN HEAVEN MAY BE, EVEN AFTER 60,000 EONS, AFTER YOU HAVE EXHAUSTED YOUR LIFE THERE YOU CAN GO DOWN EVEN TO HELL WITH ITS ABSOLUTE PAIN DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE.
PLEASURE HAS ITS DRAWBACKS BECAUSE PAIN IS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN THAT YOU CANNOT ESCAPE AND WHEN WRACKED BY SEVERE UNREMITTING PAIN AS IN HELL OR CANCER THAT IS UNBEARABLE YOU MAY WISH YOU NEVER EXISTED. THUS ANYONE WHO WILL NOT GIVE UP PAIN AND PLEASURE, WHO HOLD IT AS WONDERFUL IS A FOOL.
A noble state of mind not something done:
Neither pain nor pleasure is a (higher) state of the mind that a person cultivates until he becomes proficient at it, it is not something you do or use force to banish or control pain or pleasure.
EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNKNOWN TO THEM, NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE IS A HIGHER STATE OF THE MIND THAT IS AVAILABLE TO ALL BEINGS, IS THE STATE THEY MUST SEEK REFUGE IF THEY ARE TO ESCAPE THE SUFFERING OF ENDLESS PAIN & PLEASURE.
You need rules not understanding to rehash:
If what you said or did is rehashed from a recording in your mind or a piece of paper (as when you read a speech) you do not need understanding what you said or did to rehash it but you need rules that tell you when to activate or not activate a particular recording. Rules too are recordings that are rehashed to tell the person who is robot when and what to say or do.
If you have true understanding of what you are rehashing, you will surely understand that you are merely mechanically retrieving and replaying what is old hat, said and done many times before. Thus in order to be an accomplished robot in the name of getting along and doing well in society, you must banish whatever true understanding you ever had and with grim determination despite much stress, restlessness and distraction generated to commit yourself to rehashing guided by rules that you formulate or others formulate for you.
BECAUSE WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY AND DO IS REHASHED, NO UNDERSTANDING IS NEEDED AND WHAT THEY NEED AND EMPLOY ARE RULES, PROGRAMMED REHASHED RIGID INSTRUCTIONS THAT TELL THEM WHEN AND WHAT TO SAY WHEN SUCH AND SUCH CUES ARE PERCEIVED.
YOU NEEDED RULES OR RIGID FIXED INSTRUCTIONS IN ORDER TO REHASH, NEVER GENUINE UNDERSTANDING THAT IS NOT ONLY NOT INVOLVED OR REQUIRED BUT IS DETRIMENTAL TO ACCOMPLISHED REHASHING. IF YOU PERCEIVE UNDERSTANDING IS REQUIRED OR PRESENT IN REHASHING YOU HAVE FALSE PERCEPTION AND THUS NO UNDERSTANDING.
Two understandings needed:
IN ORDER FOR A PERSON TO UNDERSTAND, HE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND TWO THINGS, HE MUST (MAKE EFFORT TO) UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION HE IS IN AND HE MUST MAKE EFFORT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS SAYING OR DOING IN THAT SITUATION. OFTEN PEOPLE DON’T EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING OR DOING, LET ALONE THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING OR DOING.
Only if a person is devoted to truth and goodness does he need to understand the circumstances he is in and understand what he is doing or saying.
If he is not devoted to the truth and goodness, he just wants to say or do things to get along, get what he wants, to please, impress, intimidate and dominate others, no understanding of the situation is needed, no understanding of what he is saying or doing is needed, what is required is a set of personal rules that may be adopted or copied from others to determine what he should say or do when certain cues are detected.
IF A PERSON IS REHASHING, HE DOES NOT NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION HE IS FACED WITH, ALL HE NEEDS IS TO DETECT THE CUES THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO TRIGGER THE PRE-RECORDED ACTIONS OR SPEECH. HE DOES NOT NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS SAYING OR DOING SINCE IT IS FIXED, ALREADY DETERMINED, ALL HE NEEDS IS ACCURATE REHASH AS FAITHFULLY AS POSSIBLE AS RECORDED.
IN ORDER TO SPEAK AND ACT WITH TRUE UNDERSTANDING YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION YOU ARE IN AND UNDERSTANDING EXACTLY THE MEANING OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING OR DOING.
You are kidding yourself and have false perception if you think people understand the situations they are in or understand what they say or do. They are hastily taking snapshots or looking for clues or cues in order to say or do things they have already pre-recorded sometimes without even paying attention to what they are saying or doing let alone understand what they are saying or doing.
Disabled people are humans too:
Often people think they are such wonderful people with what they say but their motive is to sinfully stir emotion and they do not say what they mean.
You don’t need to tell others that disabled people are humans too, unless the reader is an idiot, he should know that.
What the person who does not realize he is incurring karma rather than merit is trying to do is to mock, to tell others off or scold and that is about force and emotion that is the suffering to himself and others and he is headed for woe not safety.
THE MOTIVE TO SAY DISABLED PEOPLE ARE HUMANS TOO IS TO SCOLD OR CONDESCEND OR LOOK DOWN AND THAT IS SIN NOT MERIT.
DISABLED PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE MISTREATED OR IGNORED IS THE PROPER WAY TO SAY.
