Saffron robe swindlers:
The genuine Buddhist monk accepts no money or material wealth. He only takes cooked food enough for the day, not for many days and as soon as he has collected enough food to eat, he goes somewhere quiet to eat and then retire to seclusion and meditation.
THUS ANY MONK WHO SOLICITS FOR DONATIONS OF WEALTH, WHO OWNS BMWS AND LIVE IN LUXURIOUS HOTELS (AS ONE CEO MONK DID IN SINGAPORE AND JUSTIFIED HIS LIFESTYLE) IS A THIEF OF THE DHARMA AND FACING HORRENDOUS KARMA.
WHAT THIS MONK IS DOING IS ALWAYS WRONG, HE SHOULD ONLY BEG FOR COOKED FOOD ENOUGH FOR THE DAY, ANYTHING ELSE OR MORE IS NOT IN ACCORDANCE TO THE BUDDHA’S TEACHING.
The Buddha:
"Yes, Susima, a transgression overcame you. Suppose, Susima, that a robber, having been caught, were shown to a king: 'This, your majesty, is a robber. Decree what punishment you want for him.' And so the king would say, 'Go and -- having bound him with a stout rope; evict him out the south gate of the city and there, cut off his head.' Then the king's men, having bound the man, evict him out the south gate of the city and there, cut off his head. What do you think, Susima? Wouldn't that man, for that reason, experience pain?"
"Yes, lord."
"However much the pain & distress that man would experience, Susima, the Going Forth of a thief of the Dhamma in this well-taught Dhamma is still more painful in its result, in that it leads even to the lower realms. "
The material assets of a monk:
Buddhism was founded by the Buddha and so anyone who professes to be a Buddhist monk must abide by the rules the Buddha set and in saying you are a Buddhist monk you are a representative of him with grave consequences in karma if you misrepresent Him.
The genuine Buddhist monk has renounced everything, he is homeless, has only the clothes on his body and a spare change and he possess no money or material assets. He only accepts COOKED food sufficient for the day, not more even if the begging is good today.
IT IS NOT WITHOUT PURPOSE THAT HE HAS RENOUNCED EVERYTHING AND ALL MATERIAL POSSESSIONS. SINCE HE HAS VIRTUALLY NO POSSESSIONS, WHENCE IS THERE WORRY EG ABOUT BEING ROBBED? THUS HIS MIND IS FREED OF ALL MATERIAL CONCERNS THAT IS AMENABLE TO CONCENTRATION & CALMNESS OF MIND THAT LEADS TO DISCERNMENT AND RELEASE FROM SUFFERING.
It is not the size of your assets that is the matter. Beggars become preoccupied with the few pennies they hoard and are afraid of being robbed and so by not possessing anything, you rid yourself of any worry about your assets or body.
What is given there bears great fruit:
If a monk is noble, he has no possessions and desires none, then a gift of food or cloth for a robe bears great fruit even more than the millions given to others who are not noble.
IT IS NOT THE VALUE OF YOUR GIFTS THAT DETERMINE YOUR REWARD IN MERIT BUT IT IS TO WHOM IT IS GIVEN, A GIFT OF COOKED FOOD OR CLOTH FOR A NEW ROBE TO ONE WHO IS TRULY NOBLE (ALMOST NONEXISTENT IN THIS MODERN WORLD) BEARS GREAT FRUIT ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA.
Vaccha Sutta:To Vaccha (on Generosity)
Then Vacchagotta the wanderer went to the Blessed One and said to the Blessed One: "Master Gotama, I have heard that 'Gotama says this: "Only to me should a gift be given, and not to others. Only to my disciples should a gift be given, and not to others. Only what is given to me bears great fruit, and not what is given to others. Only what is given to my disciples bears great fruit, and not what is given to the disciples of others."'
"Vaccha, whoever says this is misrepresenting me with what is unfactual & untrue.
"Vaccha, whoever prevents another from giving creates three obstructions. He creates an obstruction to the merit of the giver, to the recipient's gains, and he undermines and harms his own self.
"I tell you, Vaccha, even if a person throws the rinsings of a bowl into a village pond, thinking, 'May whatever animals live here feed on this,' that would be a source of merit. But I do say that what is given to a virtuous person is of great fruit, and not so much what is given to an unvirtuous person. And the virtuous person has abandoned five factors and is endowed with five.
"He has abandoned sensual desire ... ill will ... torpor & lethargy ... restlessness & anxiety ... uncertainty. He is endowed with the aggregate of virtue... concentration... discernment... release... knowledge & vision of release of one beyond training.
"I tell you: What is given to one who has abandoned these five factors and is endowed with these five, bears great fruit.
"In a herd of cattle, whether black, white,
ruddy, brown, dappled, uniform,
or pigeon gray: if a bull is born --
tame, enduring, consummate in strength,
& swift -- people yoke him to burdens,
regardless of his color.
In the same way, wherever one is born
among human beings --
noble warriors, priests, merchants, workers,
outcastes, or scavengers --
if one is tame, with good practices,
righteous, consummate in virtue,
a speaker of truth, with conscience at heart,
one who's abandoned birth & death,
completed the holy life put down the burden,
done the task fermentation-free,
gone beyond all dhammas,
through lack of clinging unbound:
offerings to this spotless field
bear an abundance of fruit.
But fools, unknowing, dull, uninformed,
give gifts outside and don't come near the good.
While those who do come near the good
-- regarded as enlightened, wise --
whose trust in the One Well-gone
has taken root, is established & firm:
they go to the world of the devas
or are reborn here in good family.
Step by step they reach Unbinding: they
who are wise."
Whom to give to:
It is not how much you give that is the measure of your merit. You can give a million and yet bear less merit than one who gives food.
You should give to the poor rather than the rich for greater merit.
You should give to the noble rather than the ignoble.
Giving to the noble is foremost followed by the poor followed by the rich or friends.
Jesus advised the rich man to sell all his property and give it to the poor, not anyone or the rich or desirous.
Don’t like the climate:
Quote:
Bayern Munich midfielder Franck Ribery - a reported target of Manchester United and Chelsea - has ruled out a potential move to England because he does not like the climate.
Sometimes people give an excuse, it is not the climate but the people he does not like but even if his reason is true, he is practicing controlled madness that will end in madness because he is basing his action on the blind repulsive stirring of his mental force not calm clear thinking based on the facts at hand.
YOU TOO MAY PERCEIVE NOTHING WRONG, MAY THINK THAT EVEN THOUGH HIS MENTAL FORCE WAS STIRRED REPULSIVELY HE NEVERTHELESS BASED HIS DECISION ON RATIONAL THINKING BUT YOU ARE DELUDED. IF IT WAS BASED ON CALM RATIONAL THINKING THEN WHAT HE SAID IS FALSE THAT HE WILL NOT COME BECAUSE HE DOESN’T LIKE THE WEATHER. HE GAVE HIS REASON AS ‘DOESN’T LIKE’ OR REPULSIVE STIRRING OF HIS MENTAL FORCE AND IF IT IS BASED ON CLEAR THINKING, HE IS A MUDDLED PERSON CREATING CONFLICT IN HIMSELF TO SAY HE DON’T LIKE WHEN IT WAS BASED ON FACTS.
HENCE, PEOPLE DON’T JUST LIKE AND DISLIKE BUT LIKE AND DISLIKE ARE THE BLIND BASES FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND BECAUSE LIKE AND DISLIKE ARE BASED ON BLIND FORCE, IT IS A FOOLISH BASIS FOR ACTION THAT WILL END IN DISASTER SOONER OR LATER.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE CAN LIE THAT IT IS THE CLIMATE THEY DON’T LIKE WHEN IT IS THE PEOPLE OR LANGUAGE THEY DON’T LIKE. EVEN IF IT IS TRUE HE DOES NOT LIKE, IT IS FOOLISH & DANGEROUS TO BASE ONE’S ACTION ON A REPULSIVE STIRRING OF MENTAL FORCE THAT IS, TOGETHER WITH LIKE, IN ITSELF SUFFERING NEVER THE PLEASURE IT IS MADE OUT TO BE.
Force not genuine reason is the basis of people’s actions:
If genuine reason is the basis of a person’s action, a decision on a course of action in deed or word must be composed specifically for an occasion and afterwards, although you may remember what you said and did and the reasons behind it, you do not memorize the substance and style of your action or the reasoning behind it to be rehashed for future occasions.
The basis for all emotional stylish people’s actions is always force either directly as like, dislike, sadness, hurt, confusion and fear driving it or indirectly as rehashed rote or programmed logic.
WHEN IT IS LIKE, DISLIKE, SADNESS, HURT, CONFUSION (ANXIETY) OR FEAR THAT IS THE ‘REASON’ FOR YOUR SPEECH OR ACTION, IT IS THE BLIND STIRRING OF FORCE THAT IS THE CAUSE OF YOUR ACTION AND BECAUSE FORCE IS BLIND, DANGEROUS AND ONCE TRIGGERED IS HARD AND CAN ONLY STOPPED BY OPPOSITE FORCE (FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION), IT IS A RECIPE FOR FUTURE DISASTER EVEN DEATH.
WHEN IT IS REHASHED PROGRAMMED LOGIC, A COPY OF WHAT ONE SHOULD DO OR SAY WHEN CERTAIN DATA OR FACTORS ARE PERCEIVED EXISTS IN THE PERSON’S MENTAL JUKEBOX AND SO WHEN CONFRONTED BY DECISION MAKING OF WHAT TO DO OR SAY, THE PERSON TAKE SNAPSHOTS (THAT MAY BE FAULTY OF WHAT IS HAPPENING), SCANS HIS MENTAL JUKEBOXES FOR INSTRUCTIONS OF WHAT TO SAY OR DO THAT MAY BE APPROPROPRIATE TO THEN SELECT AND REPLAY IT. THE SITUATION MAY BE HARMLESS, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER YOU DO OR DON’T (EG GO TO ENGLAND TO PLAY FOOTBALL OR NOT DOES NOT KILL YOU EITHER WAY), AND WHAT YOU DID ACCORDING TO REHASHED LOGIC MAY APPEAR APPROPRIATE ACCORDING TO OTHERS WHO ARE THEMSELVES ROBOTS, BUT IT IS FAKED GENUINE LOGIC, EACH NEW SITUATION HAVE UNIQUE FEATURES THAT MAY RENDER IT INAPPROPRIATE OR DANGEROUS TO APPLY FIXED LOGIC OR THE WRONG LOGIC MAY BE APPLIED TO THE SITUATION BECAUSE THE SNAPSHOTS MAY BE ERRONEOUS.
People do ‘reason’ to come to a course of action but it is rehashed programmed command computer logic than genuine specific to the occasion reason.
The danger is programmed command logic is that it is not specific but in general, when a certain class of situations arrive, you are commanded to do or say certain things. Because your action or words are designed to fit a class of events, it never fits perfectly to a particular situation and a particular situation may have unique features that render your action inappropriate even dangerous.
Further because emotional people take snapshots to arrive at decisions, their snapshots may be faulty and so they activate a course of action that may be totally inappropriate.
FORCE IS ALWAYS THE BASIS OF ACTION FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE EMOTIONAL AND STYLISH REHASHERS.
FORCE IS THE DIRECT BASIS OF THEIR ACTIONS WHEN THEY SAY OR DO THINGS DRIVEN BY LIKE (EXCITEMENT, LUST GREED), DISLIKE (RAGE, HATE, REVULSION), SADNESS, HURT, CONFUSION AND FEAR.
FORCE IS THE INDIRECT BASIS OF THEIR ACTIONS THROUGH FIXED REHASHED PROGRAMMED COMMAND LOGIC. IF THERE IS A PLAN OF ACTION IN YOUR HEAD, IT IS THE PLAN THAT IS THE BOSS AND YOU ONLY SELECT THE PLAN AND SUPPLY FORCE TO CARRY OUT THE PLAN ROBOTICALLY OR AS A SLAVE OF THAT PLAN.
Rehashed actions must ensue from rehashed logic:
If it is true that everything people say or do is never freshly composed for the occasion but rehashed, the motivation for it can never be fresh specific to the occasion but must also be similarly rehashed or driven by blind brute stirring of force.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT FRESH SPECIFIC FOR THE OCCASION LOGIC OR UNDERSTANDING IS THE BASIS OF ACTIONS THAT ARE REHASHED BUT IT IS MANDATORY THAT THE UNDERLYING BASIS FOR THAT REHASHED ACTION MUST ALSO BE REHASHED AND THEREFORE BECAUSE IT CAN BE OBJECTIVELY PROVEN THAT EVERY ACTION OF STYLISH PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS REHASHED, THEIR UNDERLYING LOGIC MUST ALSO BE REHASHED.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT A PERSON WHO CAN TRULY EXAMINE A SITUATION FOR THE RELEVANT FACTORS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR HIM TO COMPOSE AND ACTIVATE A COURSE OF SPEECH OR ACTION WOULD RESORT TO A REPERTOIRE OF REHASHABLE ACTIONS OR SPEECH AS A VEHICLE OF HIS RESPONSE.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT A PERSON WHOSE RESPONSES ARE ALL FROM A REPOSITORY OF RECORDED ACTIONS AND SPEECH CAN SPECIFIC TO THE OCCASION UNDERSTAND THE RELEVANT FACTORS PRESENT TO THEN COMPOSE A RESPONSE THAT IS A PERFECT FIT FOR THAT OCCASION.
HENCE REHASHED ACTIONS MUST COME FROM REHASHED LOGIC.
REHASHED ACTIONS OR SPEECH CAN ONLY BE TRIGGERED DIRECTLY BY FORCE STIRRING AS LIKING, DISLIKING, SADNESS, HURT, AGITATION OR FEAR OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH PLANS WHICH ARE THE MASTERS AND THEY MERELY SELECT AND EXECUTE USING FORCE WHAT THE PLANS SAY THEY MUST SAY OR DO.
Once formulated it is your plan who is boss:
You are a fool if you think you are a boss because you have many (alternative) plans in your head because once formulated, it is the plans who are the dictators in which you are merely the robot selecting, using force to carry them out and the only recourse for you is to stop the plan and replace it with another plan.
You can re-jig or modify your plan but what you have done is convert yourself from of slave of a plan to slave of a modified plan.
The person of genuine reason never formulates plans or programs in his mind with plans that he then memorizes and activates to carry out as faithfully as possible. He sees fully or sufficiently each situation to understand the essential elements of the situation to enable him to compose a reply or not act or speak if need be.
STYLISH EMOTIONAL PEOPLE HAVE MANY DIFFERENT PLANS FOR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, MANY ALTERNATIVE PLANS FOR THE SAME CLASSES OF OCCASION THAT THEY MAY REFINE AND MODIFY WITH TIME BUT ONCE THESE PLANS ARE IN PLACE, THEY ARE MERELY ROBOTS CARRYING OUT THESE PLANS AND WHAT THEY DO AFTER SELECTING A PLAN IS TO SUPPLY FORCE TO CARRY OUT THE PLAN TO COMPLETION OR THEY MAY USE FORCE TO STOP PLAYBACK HALFWAY.
BECAUSE HE HAS PLANS IN HIS HEAD THE FOOL THINKS HE CAN REASON AND HE IS THE MASTER OF HIS PLANS BUT HE IS DELUDED, ONCE FORMULATED IT IS THE PLANS WHO ARE HIS BOSSES. HE CAN MODIFY HIS PLANS BUT THEN HE BECOMES THE SLAVE OF MODIFIED PLANS NOT MASTER.
Why people go mad:
No one can freshly synthesize mad speech or behaviour and it reflects that the person is a rehashing robot who has now lost control of the rehashing that he is mad. Only whatever is rehashed in which the person is not the true source of the action or speech but a mindless recording that can be activated is the source, can go mad. And so the fact that someone can go mad is an indication he is an unwitting robot, not just sometimes but always he is a robot or rehasher.
Even when the person is mad, there is actually reason or cause behind what he says and did in madness, not no cause.
Madness is of two types, excessive or overreaction to a situation or an apparently inappropriate response in speech and action.
For instance a person may fly into a rage or go berserk over a seemingly innocuous comment and this will be an example of an overreaction. The reason for the overreaction is that the reaction of anger is never specific to the occasion but has been rehashed many times often to intense levels such that the urge to rehash it to intense hard to control levels is very strong such that occasionally even a innocuous comment can trigger catastrophic rehashed rage that will lead to catastrophic rehashed verbal and physical abuse of others.
When a person’s speech or action seems totally inappropriate or bizarre the reason again is because it is never composed fresh but rehashed. After many cycles of rehash, there is automatism, an urge by the mental jukebox to activate the speech and act even when the trigger is nonexistent, just for the sake of activating it and this manifest as crazy behaviour that is inappropriate. In you keep on screaming and shouting at others, the urge to do so because very strong and even automatic or easily triggered such that you increasingly have an urge to scream and shout even without provocation because you cannot control the urge that has become compulsive or compels you to scream and shout.
EVEN IN MADNESS THERE IS ACTUALLY STILL REASON OR CAUSE BEHIND WHAT IS SAID AND DONE, ONLY THE PERSON HAS LOST CONTROL OF THE ACT SO THAT THE RESPONSE IS WAY IN EXCESS (EG FLIES INTO RAGE AT SLIGHT INSULT) OR INAPPROPRIATE (THERE IS AN URGE TO SAY OR DO CERTAIN THINGS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT EVEN WHEN IT IS INAPPROPRIATE EG STRIP OR WALK NAKED IN PUBLIC). THE ONLY REASON AN ACT CAN BE INAPPROPRIATE IS BECAUSE IT IS REHASHED THAT WILL INNUMERABLE REHASHES AND DECLINING CONTROL WITH AGE OR INEBRIATION CONTROL IS LOST AND THE ACT AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATES ITSELF EITHER IN RESPONSE TO A SLIGHT TRIGGER OR OUT OF THE BLUE WITHOUT APPARENT TRIGGER.
IN CONTROLLED SANITY, BECAUSE THE MOTIVE OR CAUSE BEHIND AN ACTION MUST REFLECT THE ACTION, A REHASHED OR RECURRENT MOTIVE OR CAUSE MUST BE BEHIND THAT REHASHED SPEECH OR ACTION. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT FULL UNDERSTANDING CAN GIVE RISE TO REHASHED ACTION BECAUSE FULL OR TRUE UNDERSTANDING WILL NOT BE SATISFIED WITH A REHASHED ACTION BUT FULL TRUE UNDERSTANDING WILL WANT TO COMPOSE A FRESH SPECIFIC TO THAT OCCASION RESPONSE IN SPEECH AND ACTION. IF IT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, TRUE UNDERSTANDING DOES NOT SAY OR DO ANYTHING.
THUS REHASHED ACTIONS MUST ENSUE FROM REHASHED REASONS OR PROGRAMMED OR COMMAND LOGIC THAT YOU MUST SAY OR SO CERTAIN THINGS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS OR ALTERNATIVELY THE DIRECT RECURRING STIRRING OF MENTAL FORCE THROUGH LIKE, DISLIKE, SADNESS, HURT, CONFUSION AND FEAR WILL TRIGGER THOSE REHASHABLE ACTIONS OR SPEECH STORED IN THE MENTAL JUKEBOX.
IF THERE IS A VAST STORE OF REPLAYABLE SPEECH AND ACTIONS IN A PERSON’S MENTAL JUKEBOX THEN THE ONLY THING THAT CAN EXECUTE THEM, APART FROM FORCE DIRECTLY AS LIKE, DISLIKE, SADNESS, HURT, CONFUSION AND FEAR IS PROGRAMMED LOGIC OR INSTRUCTIONS BASED ON PERCEPTIONS; DEPENDING ON WHAT THE PERSON IS PROGRAMMED TO PERCEIVE, IF HE PERCEIVES THE PRESENCE OF CERTAIN THINGS, HE ACTIVATES PLAN A, IF HE PERCEIVES OTHER THINGS, HE ACTIVATES PLAN BE, ETC.
THUS IF WHAT A PERSON SAYS OR DOES IS REHASHED FROM A DEAD IMPERSONAL RIGID PROGRAM IN HIS MENTAL JUKEBOX, THE BASIS OR MOTIVE BEHIND IT TOO MUST BE MECHANICAL, RIGID & DEAD (PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTIONS) TO SAY OR DO SUCH AND SUCH IF SUCH AND SUCH ARE PERCEIVED OR ALTERNATIVELY, IF HIS MENTAL FORCE IS STIRRED TO LIKE, DISLIKE, FEEL SAD, HURT, CONFUSED OR FEARFUL.
PR facing conflicts, MCA says:
Whatever conflicts PR is facing is of no concern for MCA and there is no genuine reason to bring it to the public’s awareness except to exploit it.
IF THERE ARE NO CONFLICTS OR IT HAS BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED TO CAST PR IN BAD LIGHT SO AS TO GAIN POLITICALLY, THEN WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE IS SPEAKING DIVISIVELY TO DIVIDE THE PUBLIC FROM PR AND DIVISIVE SPEECH CAN SEND YOU EVEN TO HELL.
THERE IS NO REASON WHY MCA SHOULD HIGHLIGHT PR’S TROUBLES EXCEPT TO GAIN UNRIGHTEOUSLY FROM THE NEWS. WHY SHOULD MCA BE INTERESTED IN THE TROUBLES OF PR THAT DOES NOT NEGATIVELY AFFECT IT SINCE IT IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH PR AND THEREFORE IT IS CONTROLLED MADNESS TO SAY SO. THE REASON MCA IS COMMENTING ON PR’S PLIGHT IS NOT BECAUSE IT HAS GENUINE REASON TO DO SO BUT REAL OR IMAGINED, MCA IS HIGHLIGHTING PR’S TROUBLES FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT AND WHOEVER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THIS HAS FALSE UNDERSTANDING.
MCA IS NOT AFFILIATED TO PR SO WHY SHOULD IT BE BOTHERED TO COMMENT ABOUT ITS TROUBLE EXCEPT THAT IT WANT TO CAST PR IN BAD LIGHT TO UNRIGHTEOUSLY GAIN FROM ITS ENEMIES’ PLIGHT.
The only way to go from here is up:
This was said with reference to the condition of the Malaysian economy.
This statement is always false and based on force not genuine reason. Even if it turns out true, it is fortuitous, a correct guess rather than based on genuine reason.
It is impossible the person said it based on seeing and knowing but it is based force, liking and disliking.
Just because the fall in the past was precipitous and its decline is now slowing or stabilizing does not mean the only way to go is up, it could be static or decline even further, plunge even further and without seeing and knowing that the only way to go is up, you are speaking falsely to say so.
Perhaps for selfish reasons he disliked seeing the economy languishing or plunging further, he liked the economy staging a recovery and thus optimistic which is not based on reason but hope or being wishful, he said falsely without awareness that the only way is up.
HIS STATEMENT IS NEVER TRUE GUIDED BY GENUINE REASON BUT FALSE DRIVEN BY FORCE, LIKING AND DISLIKING AND JUST AS HERE HE AND YOU THINK HE IS MAKING A REASONABLE STATEMENT WHEN HE IS NOT, IN THE SAME WAY, MANY SITUATIONS WHERE YOU THINK PEOPLE SPEAK RATIONALLY IS NOT SO.
Two PAS schools of thought:
The Hadi Awang school of thought is that Islam teaches one to be forgiving and work with one’s enemies to ‘reform’ them.
The Nik Aziz school says there can be no cooperation between PAS & UMNO, the twain shall never meet and he is right.
Do you see any signs of reform in UMNO? If there are no signs of reform and you decide to join hands with them, you are holding hands with the evil who are likely to play you out or even worse, as happened to Anwar.
Jesus said the bad tree cannot bear good fruits and no good can ever come out of a bad tree and so you are a fool and gullible or naive to work with a viper. The Buddha said that just as the sea expels a dead body, does not accept a dead body, in the same way the true and good has no dealings with those who are dishonest and bad.
ANYONE WHO ADVOCATES COOPERATION WITH UMNO IS FOOLISH AND DELUDED, NOT FOLLOWING RELIGION TRULY.
NO TRUE RELIGION ADVOCATES YOU SLEEPING WITH THE DEVIL.
The Buddha: And furthermore, just as the ocean does not tolerate a dead body -- in the same way, if an individual is unprincipled, evil, unclean and suspect in his undertakings -- the community has no communion with him. Holding an immediate meeting, they banish him from the community.
Not even paying attention:
Often people are not even paying attention to what is said to them and yet they smile and nod and say, “Yes, yes, yes” or “I see”. Without paying attention or absorbing what is said, how can they mindfully specifically compose their smiles and nods and “I see”? Instead their smiles and nods and replies are mindlessly automatically rehashed from a recording in their mental jukeboxes.
Because of their conduct people are frequently beset by significant stress, restlessness and distraction such that they are not attentive to what is happening and yet they are able to carry out their tasks and speak with apparent coherence. The reason they can do so is because what they say and do are rehashed from copies in their mental jukeboxes and no attention is required to carry them out except to select and supply force to play back the selected tracks.
When people are thinking of a reply, they are merely searching their mental jukeboxes for possible tracks to play back and once they found one that might be particularly apt, they might be thrilled and launch into that ‘witty’ reply.
What people call understanding what is said or done to them is not really understanding, has nothing to do with understanding but it is merely a process of perceiving usually if not always in snapshots what is said to them, decoding (decoding is conversion that requires no understanding) what is said into objects and actions required and thus visualizing mentally the objects and actions required by what is spoken to them, they match and search their mental jukeboxes for possible replies, preferable a reply that would be impressive or make them appear witty.
PEOPLE CAN SMILE, NOD AND SAY ‘YES’ TO WHAT IS SPOKEN TO THEM EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION INDICATING THEIR SMILES, NODS AND ‘YES’ ARE MINDLESSLY AUTOMATICALLY REHASHED.
WHEN THEY ARE BESET BY STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION, THEIR ATTENTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON IS SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED AND YET THEY CAN SAY AND DO THINGS AND THIS CAN ONLY COME ABOUT BECAUSE WHAT THEY SAY OR DO ARE ALREADY PRE-RECORDED AND THEY MERELY SELECT AND SUPPLY FORCE TO PLAY THEM BACK.
WHEN PEOPLE DO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS SAID TO THEM, IT IS USUALLY ONLY IN SNAPSHOTS, NOT IN ENTIRETY.
WHAT THEY CALL UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS SAID TO THEM IS A MISNOMER. THEY HAVE MERELY SUCCESSFULLY DECODED WHAT IS SAID IN WORDS INTO OBJECTS (EG BOX, CHAIR) AND ACTIONS REQUIRED (EG TAKE, THROW, PULL) AND THUS PERCEIVING THE SEQUENCE OF OBJECTS AND ACTIONS VERBALLY TRANSMITTED, THEY GET A PICTURE OF WHAT IS COMMUNICATED AND THINK THEY UNDERSTAND YOU WHEN IT IS NOT UNDERSTANDING MERELY PERCEIVING WORDS, DECODING WORDS INTO OBJECTS AND ACTIONS TO GET A PICTURE OR PERCEPTION OF WHAT IS COMMUNICATED. EVEN BEES CAN DO THIS AS THEY COMMUNICATE WITH DANCE TO OTHERS WHERE A SOURCE OF POLLEN AND HOW IT IS.
WHEN THEY THINK OF A REPLY, THEY ARE NOT REALLY THINKING BUT SEARCHING THEIR MENTAL JUKEBOXES FOR APPROPRIATE REPLIES TO SELECT AND PLAY.
Nobody is stopping you from going to heaven:
Except for the devil and his angels, fellow goats here who provoke and incite emotions in you, nobody and least of all God and Jesus want to stop you from going to heaven. Jesus said who will give you what is yours (your place in heaven) meaning you must be fit and clean enough to go to heaven because it is a realm of purity and truth.
The Buddha said you have already be transmigrating for countless eons, you have shed your own blood greater than the four great oceans, in one eon you create enough skeletons to build a mountain transmigrating from one life to another.
Thus it is very difficult for beings here to go to heaven even when life here is tormenting and according to the Buddha, kingship over men is meagre compared to heavenly pleasure.
What can make it so difficult for a being to go to heaven?
Only force can make it difficult and this force must be that person’s implacable mental force that will not be denied.
Jesus said you have to turn so that he can heal you. Only force can make a person not turn and it is this mental force that will not be turned that maintains the person foolishly here in meaningless suffering.
IT IS THE PERSON’S OWN MENTAL FORCE THAT DRIVES HIS ILL WILL, FOOLISHNESS, SENSUALITY, RESTLESSNESS AND DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY THAT DETAINS HIM HERE AND THIS MENTAL FORCE IS BLIND AND IMPLACABLE, UNTIL THE BEING BECOMES WISE ENOUGH TO SEE THE SENSELESSNESS OF HIS SUFFERING AND ROBOTIC EXISTENCE, HE MUST BE LEFT TO WALLOW IN THIS MIRE HE CALLS PARADISE.
Jesus said you have to turn to be healed which implies you are sick or wounded.
The person who is sick and wounded is usually an angry and resentful man who will take it out on others, will lash out and harm others.
Who is the person who is sick or wounded?
Anyone who is beset by stress, restlessness and distraction (cannot concentrate) is sick and resentful to take it out on others and anyone who is freed from stress, restlessness and distraction is in bliss and cannot be sick.
EVEN IF OTHERS BOMBARD YOU WITH SPEECH AND ACTIONS THAT CAUSE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION IN YOU, YOU ARE NOT BLAMELESS IN YOUR SICKNESS IF YOU YOURSELF ALSO CREATE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION IN YOURSELF BY SPEAK AND DOING IN STYLE OR FORCEFUL PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE.
What is understanding?
If there is such a thing called understanding then it can be clearly defined as such and such.
Understanding is simply the ability to tell what is true and what is false, what is meaningless and what is meaningful, what is beneficial to self and others and what is harmful to self and others.
Because ordinary people cannot tell what is false from what is true, they cannot tell what is meaningless and meaningful, they perceive their nice ways of speaking is good for themselves and others when it is harmful to self and others, they have no understanding.
There is nothing exotic about understanding, there is no such thing as poor understanding for religion but good understanding of science and everyday matters, understanding is about everything, what you see and hear all the time.
The person with true understanding effortlessly immediately understands infallibly whatever is said or done to him as either true or false, meaningful or meaningless, harmful or benevolent.
The person without true understanding struggles (using force) and NEVER understands whatever is said or done to him, he has difficulty telling and invariably accepts what is false, meaningless and harmful as true, meaningful and beneficial.
Thus the person who does not understand accepts the false statement, “The only way to go from here is up” as true or he believes nobody has the right to say it is false because it may be true.
Again the person who does not understand accepts what is meaningless and harmful (style or the use of force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness, singing, dancing, laughing and smiling, the stirring of mental force to like and dislike) as meaningful and beneficial to self and others.
Joking, poetry and philosophy are all false and yet people even those who are supposed to be intellectual accomplished find them meaningful and good.
UNDERSTANDING IS NOT ABOUT BEING ABLE TO READ AND WRITE OR SPEAK WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH UNDERSTANDING, THEY MERELY REQUIRE PERCEPTION, MEMORIZING WELL THE SPECIFIC CONNECTION BETWEEN WORDS AND THE OBJECTS OR ACTIONS THEY REPRESENT TO ENABLE YOU TO ENCODE AND THEN DECODE IN ORDER TO COMMUNICATE INFORMATION OR INSTRUCTIONS TO ANOTHER.
INSTEAD UNDERSTANDING IS SIMPLY THE ABILITY TO TELL UNFAILINGLY WHAT IS TRUE FROM WHAT IS FALSE, WHAT IS MEANINGFUL AND BENEFICIAL FROM WHAT IS MEANINGLESS AND HARMFUL. BECAUSE ON THIS COUNT, HUMANS, EVEN THOSE WHO THINK THEY ARE VERY SMART, FAIL COMPLETELY BECAUSE THEY PERCEIVE WHAT IS FALSE, MEANINGLESS AND HARMFUL AS TRUE, MEANINGFUL AND BENEFICIAL, THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING AT ALL.
What do you mean by ‘understand’?
You hear people regularly ask, “You understand what I am trying to say?”
By this they mean do you ‘get it’ or comprehend what I say.
You can get it or comprehend falsely which is not getting it or not comprehending. Thus ‘understanding’ means getting it correctly and that means seeing what is true as true, what is false as false, what is meaningful as meaningful and what is meaningless as meaningless.
EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE PERCEIVED CAN BE DETERMINED AS TRUE OR FALSE, MEANINGFUL OR MEANINGLESS, HARMFUL OR BENEFICIAL AND IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO DISPUTE AND APPLIES UNIVERSALLY TO ALL BEINGS.
THUS IF YOU PERCEIVE THAT NOBODY CAN SAY IF SOMETHING IS TRUE OR FALSE, WHAT IS MEANINGLESS TO YOU IS PERFECTLY MEANINGFUL TO ME, YOU HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OR YOU CANNOT TELL WHAT IS FALSE AND WHAT IS TRUE, WHAT IS MEANINGLESS AND MEANINGFUL, YOU TELL WRONGLY THAT WHAT IS FALSE AND MEANINGLESS IS TRUE AND MEANINGFUL THEN YOU HAVE FALSE AND THEREFORE NO UNDERSTANDING.
There are many who can tell you killing or stealing is wrong but that does not mean they understand that killing or stealing is wrong. To them ‘killing is wrong’ is a belief or command not a fact, they cannot see as true killing is wrong, it is what they have been programmed to say and believe and obey.
Do you understand falsely like me?
When people (forcefully) ask others, “Do you understand what I say or mean?!!” or “Do you get it?” what they mean is do you understand falsely like they do, not truly like they do because their understanding is false and if you understand truly like they do you will also similarly understand false.
Thus because all jokes are about appreciating or understanding what is false or hurtful, when they ask you if you understood the joke, they are not asking you if you understood truly the joke but if you understand falsely the joke.
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT UNDERSTANDING BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT TRUE UNDERSTANDING, THEY CAN BE TALKING ABOUT MUTUALLY SHARED FALSE OR DELUDED UNDERSTANDING.
What kind of logic is this?
This lady driver should not have entered the intersection even though the traffic light was green because flow had stopped. When the lights changed she was stranded with traffic squeezing gingerly through a narrow gap between her car and the car in front. She should be aware she is impeding traffic and there is a risk her car could be damaged by moving car so the wisest thing to do would be to back her car a bit to increase the gap. Instead she just waited there and even crazily tried to cut across the traffic when the car in front stopping her progress moved. All it needs is a misunderstanding and her decision to cut across the flow to get out of the intersection would have been foolish.
IF YOU LOOK AROUND AT THE ANTICS OF PEOPLE WHEN DRIVING YOU MAY DISCERN THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH CRAZY LOGIC. THE RIGHT THING FOR THIS LADY DRIVER TO DO IS WIDEN THE GAP FOR CARS TO SQUEEZE THROUGH BY BACKING BUT SHE CHOSE TO DO NOTHING RISKING A COLLISION THAT MAY CAUSE TROUBLE FOR HER AND WHEN HER WAY OUT BECAME CLEARED SHE EVEN FOOLISHLY ATTEMPTED TO CUT ACROSS THE TRAFFIC FLOWING ACROSS THE FRONT OF HER CAR.
SHE HAS CRAZY LOGIC THAT WILL END IN UNCONTROLLABLE MAD LOGIC FOR HER.
Where is the falsity that people cannot understand?
What is false, unnecessary and harmful that is constantly present that people cannot see and therefore do not understand?
Style namely the use of force to prolong syllables, change speed and loudness is totally false, meaningless and harmful to self and others is constantly present that people cannot see or if they see, they not only see nothing wrong but see style as true, essential and beneficial.
IF SOMETHING CONSTANTLY PRESENT IS FALSE, TOTALLY UNNECESSARY AND HARMFUL AND YOU CANNOT SEE IT OR SEE IT AS TRUE, ESSENTIAL AND BENEFICIAL, HOW CAN YOU SEE TRULY AND UNDERSTAND? THUS IT IS THAT STYLISH EMOTIONAL PEOPLE HAVE NO GENUINE UNDERSTANDING, WHAT UNDERSTANDING THEY HAVE IS FALSE AND ROTE OR REHASHED.
Whose initiative is the unity government?
When UMNO was in ascendancy, would it have contemplated sharing power or an unity government with anyone? Now that it knows it is in trouble from the losses of the previous general election and defeats in most of the by elections, how convenient it is that it should court PAS that will at the same time divide and weaken the opposition. If PAS can be made a sleeping partner then it would perpetuate UMNO’s rule.
There are many who will do anything to stay in power, including sleeping with the enemy and it is the gullible person who will fall into the trap.
Surmising UMNO’s unity government intentions:
It is possible for a person with true logic to reason out UMNO’s motives in mooting an unity government.
EVEN IF UMNO DID NOT INITIATE THIS UNITY GOVERNMENT IDEA, IT IS UNLIKELY IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE THAT IN THE PAST WHEN UMNO WAS SUPREME IT WOULD CONTEMPLATE SHARING POWER WITH PAS BECAUSE IT COMES WITH COSTS AND IT IS TOO MUCH HASSLES.
SO NOW THAT IT IS IN TROUBLE AS DEMONSTRATED IN POLLS REPEATEDLY, IT CANNOT BE SINCERE BUT CALCULATING THAT IT SHOULD NOW BE EAGER FOR AN UNITY GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD DAMAGE ITS OPPOSITION AND PERMIT IT TO HOLD ON TO POWER. WOULD UMNO BE HAPPY WITH AN UNITY GOVERNMENT IN WHICH IT WAS NOT CALLING THE SHOTS? UMNO WILL PROMISE PAS ANYTHING JUST TO SLEEP WITH PAS BUT ONCE BETHROTHED, THEN LIKE MANY MEN THEY SHOW THEIR UNFAITHFULNESS.
IF YOU THINK IT IS COINCIDENCE THAT UMNO SHOULD NOW HAPPEN TO FIND UNITY GOVERNMENT ATTRACTIVE OR IT IS NECESSARY BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMIC CRISIS, YOU ARE CRAZY AND SO THE PAS LEADERS WHO ARE TEMPTED ARE NAIVE.
Milan to Madrid via Manchester:
Man City's offer for Kaka opened the door for Madrid's move, says Tim Vickery
It is not farfetched but false that just because Man City's offer for Kaka opened the door for Madrid's move, it is a case of ‘Milan to Madrid via Manchester’.
The person is trying to see too much or something where there is nothing and he does not realize he is flirting with future madness.
THE AWARENESS OF THE THREE CITIES SHARING A COMMON ‘M’ ATTRACTED HIM AND SO HE SPUN THE STORY AROUND WITH THE INTENTION OF STIRRING READERS’ ATTRACTION OR MENTAL FORCE TO LIKE OR ‘WOW’ THAT IT WAS A CASE OF MILAN TO MADRID VIA MANCHESTER WHEN IT IS ENTIRELY A CONCOCTION OF HIS FALSIFYING MIND. IT IS NO BIG DEAL, KAKA SWITCHED TO MADRID AND TO SAY IT IS FROM MILAN TO MADRID VIA MANCHESTER IS TO SPICE UP THE STORY.
Stylish emotional people don’t just passively see, but they use force to try and see things that are actually not there, a case of from Milan to Madrid via Manchester just because Man City's offer for Kaka opened the door for Madrid's move. Did Kaka go to Manchester before he moved to Madrid?
China said Wed CPI fell for 4th straight month
Headline: China said Wed CPI fell for 4th straight month
There are occasions when the day it was said is relevant but there are occasions as above when it is totally irrelevant if it was said on Wednesday and it reflects that it is rehashed mindlessly by rote because the person is attracted to the style of the saying that he has rehashed inappropriately in this case.
It may have been the Americans who invented the terse ‘China or whatever eg Hillary said Thursday instead of the proper Hillary said on Thursday and others just copied it because it is deemed stylish.
THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHEN IT IS IMPORTANT TO STATE WHAT DATE SOMETHING HAPPENED BUT THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHEN IT IS NOT NECESSARY AND THE FACT THAT WHEN IT HAPPENED IS STATED UNNECESSARILY REFLECTS THAT WHAT IS SAID IS REHASHED AND IN SOME SITUATIONS THE PERSON IS FOUND OUT BECAUSE WHAT IS REHASHED DOES NOT FIT THE SITUATION.
HILLARY SAID WEDNESDAY INSTEAD OF HILLARY SAID ON WEDNESDAY IS A WAY OF SAYING SOMETHING THAT IS DEEMED OR PERCEIVED AS STYLISH SO THAT OTHERS MEMORIZE IT TO REHASH THEMSELVES.
A rehashing mind is a closed fixed mind:
Rehashing is merely the lifeless regurgitating from what is recorded in one’s mental jukebox and hence a person who rehashes has a closed fixed mind, never a truly open or receptive mind.
It is not interested in anything new (except where it attracts or stirs their mental forces to like or is of material advantage to them), it just wants to rehash what it has recorded to face the demands of existence. Occasionally it may open itself to recording or modifying new plans or behaviours and speech for rehashing but by and large the rehashing mind is rejecting, closed and not amenable to change which is why it has difficulty understanding or cannot understand what is not recorded in its mental jukebox or the world views or ways of looking at things that it has programmed itself to do.
A REHASHING MIND IS NEVER OPEN OR RECEPTIVE, IT IS OPINIONATED, HAS MANY SET OPINIONS THAT ARE USUALLY IF NOT ALWAYS DELUDED THAT DRIVES ITS PERCEPTIONS OF THINGS, ALL IT CARES IS TO MINDLESSLY WITH EVEN GRIM DETERMINATION DISH OUT FROM WHAT IS RECORDED IN ITS JUKEBOX SOMETIMES APPROPRIATELY SOMETIMES BIZARRELY AND BECAUSE IT IS A FIXED MIND SET IN ITS WAYS, IT HAS DIFFICULTY EVEN INABILITY TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY LIKE WHAT I SAY. WHAT IT IS CONCERNED ABOUT ARE THINGS THAT ATTRACT ITS LIKING OR PROGRAMMING ITSELF WITH NEW SPEECH OR ACTS TO BE REHASHED. BECAUSE WHAT I SAY IS NOT FOR REHASHING BUT TO BE CONSIDERED AND UNDERSTOOD, A REHASHING MIND IS EVEN TOTALLY LOST, CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAY.
ONLY A CLOSED MIND WOULD MINDLESSLY REHASH AND A CLOSED MIND IS CLOSED TO UNDERSTANDING, IT JUST WANTS TO GET ON WITH LIFE DISHING OUT FROM ITS MENTAL JUKEBOX AS IT HAS ALWAYS DONE.
A set mind has difficulty turning so that it can be healed:
Jesus said you have to turn so that he can heal you.
A rehashing mind is a set or fixed mind and what is fixed or hardened set in automated ways rehashing what is largely fixed recorded in a mental jukebox is difficult if not impossible to be turned either by the person himself or others and if the set way you exists in is tormenting rather than unalloyed bliss it is made up to be then that is your lot. If you refuse to turn then it will be set in its rehashing robotic ways and if that is tormenting even to homicidal or suicidal levels then that is what you want for yourself and you are not innocent because your behaviour also persecutes others.
Rehashing conditions one not to understand:
The reason why people do not understand is because rehashing and even the selection of what to rehash requires no understanding which is actually inimical to rehashing and so after lifelong constant rehashing, they have conditioned themselves to even permanently not understand.
True understanding is actually an effortless force free matter of seeing correctly and thus knowing or understanding. It is the default or natural condition of all beings and it is rehashing that not only need no understanding but not understanding is a requisite that if constant, constantly conditions that rehashing being not to understand until not to understand is the default enforced or conditioned state.
Just as a tape recorder requires no understanding to play back a recorded track, in the same way no understanding is required to blindly regurgitate in speech or action what exists as a record in one’s mental jukebox.
Thus, because no understanding is needed to rehash, every time you rehash you are training yourself to say or do things without understanding, to do as you are told by your jukebox and rather than a requisite, not to understand or to close your eyes to what you are saying or doing is desirable for slick rendition of what is a rehash. And so if you are rehashing everything you say or do (even think and what and how you see or hear) then you are constantly training yourself not to understand or suppress understanding in favour of mindless blind rote.
Even the process of selecting which recorded track to play does not require understanding. Often the mental jukebox automatically cues in the ‘correct’ or usual response in speech and action of many repetitions and when input is required by the disc jockey, it is programmed rehashed logic or a matter of perceiving cues present in a situation that will be processed by your command logic to say or do certain things that those cues tell you is required.
PLAYBACK OF WHATEVER IS RECORDED IN ONE’S MENTAL JUKEBOX DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY UNDERSTANDING, IN FACT THE PRESENCE OF INTRUDING UNDERSTANDING IS INIMICAL TO SLICK PLAYBACK OF WHAT IS RECORDED.
EVEN THE SELECTION OF WHAT TO PLAYBACK DOES NOT REQUIRE UNDERSTANDING, IT IS A MATTER OF PERCEIVING OR DETECTING CUES PRESENT IN A SCENE AND PROGRAMMED LOGIC THAT TELLS THE JUKEBOX WHAT TO PLAY BACK WHEN THESE CUES ARE PRESENT.
THUS IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY REHASHING AS IS THE CASE IN ALL STYLISH EMOTIONAL PEOPLE THEN IN TIME UNDERSTANDING BECOMES SO SUPPRESSED IT IS VESTIGEAL OR ABSENT.
To be expected not a surprise:
It is to be expected, not a surprise that ordinary emotional stylish people should lack or have no understanding because no understanding is required to say or do things that are rehashed, just blind no questions asked mechanical rendition of what is retrieved from one’s jukebox and so if you are constantly rehashing, you are constantly conditioning yourself to not understand or banish understanding and it is to be expected that in time you have difficulty understanding or no understanding.
Just as a computer requires no understanding, all it needs is for someone or some programs to tell it what and how to say or do something and it will carry it out mechanically even to perfection, in the same way anyone who rehashes needs no understanding, just programs in its mental jukebox to tell it what and how to say or do something.
The fact that there now exists robotic vehicles that are sophisticated enough to negotiate an obstacle course to arrive at a destination safely indicates what can be accomplished with a total absence of understanding or knowing what one is doing. The car does not know what it does, it merely does what it is told, similarly people who rehash do not understand what they are saying or doing, they merely say or do as their mental jukeboxes tell them.
What attention is needed in rehashing:
If something you rehash is complicated or unfamiliar you need to devote your attention to faithfully retrieve and reproduce it, not understand what you are rehashing.
If something you rehash is well worn, you have rehashed it so many times before to have ‘understood’ its meaning and it is old hat, so what is there to pay attention let alone understand as you are rehashing?
In order to understand you need to see or pay attention and therefore paying attention is the precursor to understanding. No one can pay attention to two things at the same time and so if you are paying attention to retrieve and rehash what you recorded, how can you pay attention to understand what you are rehashing?
THEREFORE WHATEVER ATTENTION THAT IS REQUIRED WHEN REHASHING IS DEVOTED TO ACCURATE SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL OF WHAT IS RECORDED AND IF WHAT IS REHASHED IS HACKNEYED OR WELL WORN, WHAT IS THERE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE DISHED OUT SO MANY TIMES BEFORE?
Chinese calligraphy vs English alphabets:
The difference between Chinese characters and English words are more apparent than real. Whereas Chinese use strokes to form discrete words that have defined meanings, the English use alphabets. The difference is that each English alphabet represents a certain sound, allowing the proficient person to pronounce the written word even without knowing the word whereas in Chinese calligraphy, it is not possible because each stroke does not represent a sound.
Even in English you must recognize or memorize what each group of alphabets as a word represents that requires no understanding or logic just as you must memorize what each Chinese character or group of strokes represent.
THUS APART FROM ENABLING A PERSON TO PRONOUNCE EACH ENGLISH WORD BECAUSE EACH ALPHABET REPRESENTS A SOUND, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHINESE CALLIGRAPHY AND ENGLISH WORDS AND THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE TO PURE BRUTE MEMORY TO KNOW AN ENGLISH WORD JUST AS YOU HAVE TO BRUTE RECOGNIZE WHAT CHINESE CHARACTER MEANS.
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN LEARNING ANY LANGUAGE IS GOOD PERCEPTION OF THE SPOKEN OR WRITTEN WORD, MEMORIZING IT AND THE MEANING OR OBJECT OR ACTION ASSOCIATED WITH THAT WORD SO THAT YOU CAN ENCODE YOUR EXPERIENCES IN WORDS TO TELL SOMEONE ELSE WHAT YOU WANT TO CONVEY AND ON HEARING OR SEEING THE GROUPS OF WORDS WRITTEN OR SPOKEN BY OTHERS, YOU CAN DECODE THEM TO GET A PICTURE OF WHAT IS CONVEYED BY WORDS.
LEARNING A LANGUAGE IS LIKE LOADING A COMPUTER WITH THE SOFTWARE THAT WILL ENABLE THE COMPUTER TO DO THE TASKS REQUESTED OF IT LIKE WORD PROCESSING OR SPREADSHEETS. IT IS A PURELY MECHANICAL PROCESS WITH NO UNDERSTANDING INVOLVED. JUST PEOPLE USE WORDS LIKE ‘LIKE’, ‘DISLIKE’, ‘INTELLIGENCE’ WITHOUT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT, PEOPLE USE THE WORD ‘UNDERSTANDING’ WITH A VAGUE AND OFTEN WRONG UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT MEANS.
It is said there are about 750,000 English words but one needs to master (memorize the word and its meaning) 2-3,000 to be proficient and 20-40,000 words to be a fluent English speaker.
Thus in order to speak English well there is no substitute to painstakingly memorizing and retrieving from memory each word appropriately according to its prescribed meaning in order to communicate with others.
WITHOUT MECHANICAL BRUTE MEMORIZING AND RETRIEVAL FROM MEMORY, ENCODING TO WORDS AND THEN DECODING WORDS TO ACTIONS AND OBJECTS, YOU CANNOT MASTER A LANGUAGE.
If you watch people write in Chinese, they not only follow the same rigid sequence in inscribing each stroke but they always start a stroke say down to up when it is possible to do the reverse and this can only be because they are writing the character by rote, rehashing not just the character but the precise order of strokes to form the word, even the direction of each stroke.
IN THE SAME WAY, ENGLISH SPEAKERS NOT ONLY MEMORIZE THE WORDS, THEY MEMORIZE THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF HOW THEY ALWAYS PRONOUNCE THE WORD THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS, THEY FURTHER MEMORIZE WHOLESALE PHRASES AND EVEN SENTENCES THAT THEY LIKE BECAUSE THEY THINK IT IS HIGH SOUNDING TO BE REHASHED IN TOTO AGAIN AND AGAIN.
LANGUAGE ITSELF REQUIRES MEMORIZATION BUT PEOPLE GO FURTHER THAN THAT, THEY MEMORIZE THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF HOW THEY ALWAYS SAY THOSE WORDS AND THEY MEMORIZE WHOLE PHRASES AND EVEN SENTENCES TO BE REGURGITATED TO IMPRESS OTHERS.
YES, YOU NEED TO MEMORIZE WORDS IN ORDER TO SPEAK AND WRITE, BUT DO YOU NEED TO MEMORIZE AND REGURGITATE THE SAME STRETCHING, CHANGING OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS AS YOU PRONOUNCE THE WORD, MEMORIZE AND REGURGITATE FAVORITE PHRASES AND SENTENCES TO IMPRESS OTHERS? IN SO DOING YOU ARE A ROBOT OF REHASHING.
Letting tap run whilst brushing teeth:
It is said that some people let their taps run wastefully whilst they brush their teeth. It is likely if not certainly that this is their habit, they always do it (whilst others do not) and the only way this can come about is because they are robots mindlessly rehashing not just there but always.
THERE IS NO REASON TO LEAVE THE TAP RUNNING WHILST YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND IT IS WASTEFUL. BECAUSE IT IS MEANINGLESS, THE PERSON IS PRACTICING MADNESS THAT WILL END IN UNCONTROLLED MADNESS. A BEHAVIOR IS A HABIT BECAUSE IT IS MINDLESSLY REHASHED OR THE PERSON IS A ROBOT.
