Finished reading the book 'Al-Ghazali and His Theory of The Soul a comparative study by Mdm. Noor Shakirah Mat Akhir a lecturer at USM. Well thought out study of Imam Al-Ghazali whose works had so far alluded me and having read this book I have come to a better understanding of who and what to expect further down the road. For me this book which I discovered at the MGTF mini library, belongs to Hasnul and I snatched it off the shelf as I sat looking out at nothing and lost in a limbo. I dont claim to fully comprehend the book especially the Greek Philosophers, they will always be 'Greek' to me, but I come out of it with a whole new sense of pride and admiration for the Imam. Al Ghazalli will be a great study as a companion for my spiritual journey in the near future.

When my daughter and I visited the Salvation Army second hand store on Perak Road a few days ago I picked a book to read,it was the only book I felt that comes closest to what I am working on among all assortments of books and magazines scattered all over the crampped shelves. It is called "New Beginnings" produced by the Brahma Kumaris, World Spiritual University. My daughter got herself a coderoy jacket to wear to her prom and a few other items, Marissa loves the Salvation Army Store, her 'Kedai Jimat'. I paid one ringgit (RM) for the book, this book on Raja Yoga, The King or Royal Yoga came to me for less than 30 or a Quarter in US dollar. When I told my friend Shahram, the Iranian artist, he pointed upwards and smiled; the book dealt with the Soul. I did not realize this at the time i made the buy. After having read Imam Ghazali to find this book is like being handed the Wilkepedia on Souls. I had read the Muslim, Islamic way briefly and now I am getteing the practical trainin on it. The Raja Yoga is no stranger to me as it has always been a part of my study and practice or discipline eversince I was given a copy of it when leaving for Alaska from Green Bay, Wisconsin and my friend and companion 'Bare Footed Lizzy gave it to me as a parting gift. I survived much of my Alaskan Aleutian Adventure was from having adoted its teaching at that time.
I learned and put to work what i could and till this day the few affirmations that I memorized;

I am the Master,
I am the master of my thoughts and consiousness.
I am the master of My Body, Speach and Mind.
I am the Master of environments and circumstances,
I am the master of my Destiny...Insha"AAALLLAAHH!!
This was my practice while Livng in Alaska.

I came to believe I was the creator of my scenario, I had the power to change and to adapt to changes often burning my bridges behind me; I took one Leap of faith too many and look where I landed!
Still the Cheese Burger Buddha, rambbling away at the world about things i hardly know and giving out free lessons in how to make in it this End of Dharma realm. Not too bad if you consider that I have written over 300 blog entries of these garbage and with great pictures too. Not too bad if you compare to some who has much too little to worry about and grow to become the Beer Barrel Buddha or the Couchy Potao Buddha.
There is nothing right or wrong on who you choose to be, a Buddha Knows he is a Buddha, he is a cobbler ( a mender of bad souls), a fisherman (A Fisher of Man) and he is the farmer ...Outstanding in his Field!
