On April Fool's Day, on Easter Sunday, On the Chinese Ancestral Worship Day.

April Fool's Day was played on me by being made to turn around and headed for home after i was stopped by a congested traffic at the very first street junction from my apartment. I called my son, Karim and told him that i cannot give him a ride to work as it was impossible to leave the area here. The traffic jam was caused by the Chinese day of visiting the dear departed and near where i live is the largest Chinese cemetery on the island. So they came from all over the country to say hello to their loved ones who has gone over to the other side. It was also Easter Sunday here and so it was a good day to chill at home and not ad on to the congestion already happening out there So, April Fool son, get your own transport to work, like Uber or Grab it for the day.

Another April Fool prank I got on Sunday was to watch Mooji Baba, the Man who likes talking, does a silent sitting retreat commemorating Easter Sunday! There goes another channel for me to choose from in order to feed this hungry mind on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Such Is, and you believe the mind has no sense of humor? Well it left me with the next choice of escape and that is to read Carl Jung's works on The Archetypes and the Collective Consciousness, or watch David Carradine's old movies on You Tube; I chose Jung and found the connecting dots to what I had written in my last entry of my Blog. Yes, Mooji talked even in his silent sitting Satsang, the mind cannot resist what is habitual for so long as there are minds to feed; it is not unlike putting babies to sleep, the pacifier is still the tool of choice.

" Every need has an ego to feed." - Bob Marley.

Perhaps playing with Jung's Jungian ideas is a little too much for most especially when the player himself has avague grasp on the ideas. However in Jung's works I find a whole lot of meat in what understanding oneself is all about when it comes down to it; it does involves allot of careful reading no doubt, but worth it. Like Jedu Krishnamurti, Jung was a master at his field of choice and dedicated his whole life towards the understanding of the human psyche, just as Krishnamurti did with the human mind. Where Jung embraced most of the eastern religious icons and symbols, Gods and deities as potential archetypes, Krishnamurti shattered them to pieces and treated them as purely mental formations and nothing more. Both are equally valid and are forces to be considered with when one is on the journey of self discovery.
