Sunday, third day of the Year of the Horse, strength and agility and the single mindedness of a horse to win the race and you can bet on that; this will be the theme of the 2014 - Year of the Horse by the Chinese Lunar calender. Georgetown was muted the past few days not as loud at it used to be, perhaps other small towns have grown like the Bukit Jambol area. however, still not much fireworks or fire crackers like the past year. Shades of things to come in how we spend , or how we conserve in times of uncertainties. The Chinese mood this year reflects its concern for conservation of the well being of the Nation as a whole. To chill before the storm hits, to retreat before the enemy attacks, to tale the attack to the enemy through surrender. Sun Tzu did not say this, I just did.
" A revolution is sweeping today's post Bacon world. No genius of the past, not Sun Tzu nor mechiavelli, not bacon himself would have imagined today's deepest Powershit; the astounding degree to which today both force and wealth themselves have come to depend on knowledge.".
Alvin Toffler: Poewer Shit.
This is the year where power, brute force, energy, manifesting itself through the strong physical manifestation of a Horse; now powered by computer -chips and the human mind. What the human mind is capable of is today being boosted to the third degree where we will see the makings of brilliant thinkers and law makers; the younger generation has inherited the wealth of 'Knowledge" + Wealth + Power = Freedom; and Jesus said, "And the truth shall set you free...seek the Truth." or something like that, so we seek for the answers that would lead us all to the Truth...of ho we are, what we are, where we are at, how far or how near are we to our final destination? Would we know what it was all about before the final cut? Before the switches are turned off, before our lights went off?
Many times have i raised the story of how Gautama saw this is His days the fact that Mankind suffers from three Illnesses, primarily, Greed, Hate and Delusion or Ignorance." These are the cause of all sufferings in our existence and he asked mankind to take refuge in the "Tripple Gems", Buddha, Bharma and Sangha. Enlightenment, Wisdom, the Laws of the Univers, The Commuity of Souls, Beings on this Planet. Thousands of years ago a man gave His life up from comfort and pleasures of a King to walk the life of a "Truth Seeker",.He discovered that Life is truthfully suffering, that life is Impermanent, and that suffering is in not having the Right Understanding of what is the true nature of one's being...who am I? Life is in finding ways and 'skillful means' to turn what is suffering into pleasure into peace and tranquility for the time of one's existence in the form of a Man...for in only this form is man capable to transcending his form into spiritual actions towards his salvation, for only he can liberate himself from the shackles of Life Itself.... Gautaama went on to advice... " don't waste time!"
" MIllitary might untill not too long ago was basically an extension of the Mindless fist. Today it relies almost totally on "congealed mind" - knowledge embedded in weapons and surveilence technologies..."
A.T.
We are running against if not our of time in trying to 'untangle the tangle', Gautama had seen as one of our means towards avoiding what catastrophic sequences that lay ahead on our Collective Agenda, we as humans are in short a little bit screwed, we are looking at a very bleak future and the Internet seldom lies, Read! Iqra! Read! and what is revealed to you from your reading let it be known to the world, say, "This Is It!' or "Be Here NOw", or "The Power of NOw" or whatever form of communication best suits your delivery use it and spread the words of the past that had kept humans sanity from over-riding itself and not be able to 'Shutdown".
Total annihilation inot the void and Darkness and Emptiness or a Being of Light! Your choice, you have the freedom to choose and none can tell you otherwise except you "Gods!" Your choice of faith is is your Eternal Birthright, your Original Nature Your (Dahrma) Position in Life... it is called Freedom, Liberation, Total submission to the "Return to Yourself. Don't give up to return too your self. Just believe in Destiny, just return to yourself and don't hide...Enigma on You Tube... Submit to the Will of the Al Mighty, Surrender to Him, Al-Hak, The Lord, if you are not allowed to call Him Allah by Law, he has 99 Others for you to choose from and it is not in the Word but in your faith and Understanding of it that you find your own ways. This is Knowledge, this is infinite wisdom that only man is capable of understanding...The Unity of All in One and One in All, the merging of differences in Unity; "although life may be suffering, we can suffer without bitterness, from Dr. Peter Oyimbo, H&H Ship Services, Chief Chemist. M y friend from Nairobi, Africa. Yes, how do were turn pain into pleasure?
"A Power shift is a transfer of power. A "powershift" is a deep level change in the very nature of power."
A.Toffler
With collective knowledge man can tear through the fabric of existence with the speed of light but he will neer arrive at his destination no matter how he tries as he keeps failing to see that he is already there; his issue if how tor remain "there' for a while longer without wanting to seek for more.And learning to let go of the 'there', that space in time, that moment of triumph or defeat, is not healthy. Anything that is able to be kept will soon wither and die, nothing is permanent, all is fleeting, spell it whatever language you will and the answer would be, you are not without and end. "You suffer primarily because you think you are who you are. You are a product of your own thinking and the more you think about yourself the more complex it gets and most give up doing it because it scares them. It is w whole easier if there is a sure footed way towards this journey I call life such that i find more peacefulness than chaos, more tranquility than death and destruction. So I seek for the answers and i do not accept just any answers no matter its source until I have fully understood the truth in them.
So, a the Late Sunryu Suzuzki Roshi once is said to have said, once you ride on the train, you only get off at the end of the line and the end i will be your beginning and when you have learned to harness the four horses into one, perhaps your journey will be a whole lot easier.
