Divide them and You will Rule

Power does not come from the people who are united

Their power stays with them

Power comes from the people when they are divided

As divided power is weak – to be controlled by

Someone who finds the opportunity

Opportunity does not always come

Opportunity must be created

Divide the people to rule the people – one group rules the other

Opportunity divides

Inequality divides

Conflict divides

The ruled will be eager to be ruled

The followers will be eager to follow

The believers will be eager to believe

They will keep themselves kept

They will trap themselves trapped

They will tie themselves tied

They will lie to themselves lied

People are divided when

They do not follow the rules of unity

They break rules and expect others do too

They blackmail themselves blackmailed

They trust by means of betrayal

They loyal by means of antisocial

They rule but they do not

the Teaching of the Buddha on Killing - Bad Killing and Good Killing

From Buddhist point of view, killing can cause much suffering to the killer - in this lifetime, afterlife can be much more pain in lower world, and from that one would have to pay for many lifetimes. Only after all the karmic debt is paid back, one would live normal again. 

People, animals, etc are killed all the time. I don't know their past life crimes. But in the past long period, we all did something wrong - just have done something wrong in this very lifetime. Due to their past bad deeds, many animals, humans, etc have to be killed, robbed, etc. as paying back their debts. 

Existence is long, long in the past, and can be long in the future if one doesn't know the way out and escape. We all are in the ocean of existence - just the way fish are in the oceans. In the ocean of existence, we exists - death is nothing more than transformation. We transform inside the wombs (or eggs), or outside the wombs. 

Transforming into different forms of living things is very painful - it's called birth or rebirth. Everyone transforms by death, just the way one transforms from an embryo, toward a baby, toward a teenager, toward adult, toward old age, and finally toward death. At death, one transforms into whatever one deserves to become. 

If one has debts, in terms of greed, one will transform into a ghost (peta), or an asura (demon). If one has debts, in terms of anger, one can be reborn in lower world, to be suffering in the experience of lower world. If one has debts, in terms of ignorance/delusion, one will be transforms into an animal. 

Transformation is due to perception as well. Even a very good person, who has little debt to be reborn in suffering state, can be deceived by his/her own perception (or memory). 

By recalling something, one starts to desire - leading to attachment, leading to transformation related to whatever one recalls. 

If one recalls good thing, what one has done as good deeds, or truths learned by heart, or someone who lives by good deeds, one can transform into good, according to what one recalls. If one recalls bad things ... 

Perception works this way. It's very important to understand what perception is all about. 

The Buddha taught us that we must understand body and mind. He taught us the way to understand these. One must know everything changes. One must know whatever starts to exist must cease to exist too, and transformation takes place in the process of kammic law. 

The Buddha taught we must sit, still the mind, observe the physical body as we sit. Then we will notice what happening to the physical body and gradually understand how the physical is working. As we sit, still the mind, for long, the body will show its true nature to us. All we do is sit still and watch. We must not stand up and leave before the body shows us its true nature - if we want to know it. By doing so, by realizing, we will be able to KILL our ignorance once and forever. 

Then what will the body show? And how can we kill our ignorance? 

As the Buddha taught, if we sit, try to still the mind, and noticing in breath and out breath, we will gain mental strength in stilling. This must be developed first. If we can still the mind for long, with this help, we will be able to sit and observe our physical body for long till it starts to show its true nature to us, and through everything it has to show. Thus, we must develop our mind stronger so that we can keep it still for a long time. Gradually we can get there. As we sit, stilling the mind, and sitting for long, the body will start showing its true nature, as pain, as heat, etc. and eventually we will pass all these events. At the end of these events, we can experience something special. There we can conquer our own evil self or delusion. 

FOR LONELY PEOPLE...

Religion and What I Found

["According to the Biblical view of all of this, God is simply not all-forgiving. So also, even though Eve certainly ate first, Adam is actually given more blame because Eve was deceived but Adam made a willful and knowing choice to join in her sin."] -A Christian view - I think that's remarkable against male(?). 

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_humanity_punished_for_Eve's_sin_6000_years_ago_although_God_is_All-Forgiving

[Jewish Tradition

the serpent convinced Eve to eat the fruit on the 17th day of the 2nd month in the 8th year after Adam's creation. It also states that they were removed from the Garden on the new moon of the fourth month of that year... ]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_and_Eve  

I wonder how Adam and Eve were supposed to make new generation without eating that fruit.

Quote: [How plain! All the races of mankind are descended from Adam and Eve. In the book of Genesis, we read," Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the MOTHER OF ALL THE LIVING" (Gen.3:20). All the humankind are descended from these two people, Adam and Eve! Blacks, whites, Orientals, browns, and every kind of human being in existence today came from the bodies of these two individuals! That includes the tall Watusis, the Zulus, the Masai, the Hottentots, the pygmies, the Aborigines of Australia, the Bushmen of Borneo, the Eskimos of Alaska and Siberia, as well as every other race of mankind!] http://www.triumphpro.com/race-question.htm  

Here about Virgin Mary

quote: [The Immaculate Conception is a dogma of the Catholic Church maintaining that from the moment when she was conceived the Blessed Virgin Mary was kept free of original sin and was filled with the sanctifying grace normally conferred during baptism ]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Conception  

Then why didn't God forgive Adam and Eve? Because they had to make baby that way???

[These original humans were not subhuman or Neanderthal creatures... Original sin is a theological term that goes back to the fall of man. ... man was created in God's image, righteous and free...freely able to choose God or turn away from Him. By eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he did the one thing he was asked not to do. Breaking God's one commandment to him was sin. At that point he was driven from the Garden of Eden and cut off from the tree of life (see Genesis 3:2-24).

From that moment on, the spirit of man was damaged. It is as if man is now born with a moral handicap. He is lame in the most important part of his being--his spirit.] https://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/200questions/article_3.aspx  

Adam was free "freely able to choose God or turn away from Him" - as first man! Then why didn't God forgive him and her?

1. God didn't want them to eat fruit

2. God gave them freewill

How do the two lines go together?

And what about the Neanderthals? Where did they come from as not in the Bible?

[‘See, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever’— therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. [Genesis 3]] http://bible.oremus.org/?ql=141841622  

Then what was Apple all about? Now Adam could eat it at will? Ah! Tree of knowledge is not the tree of life. Adam didn't die!!! But his generations did.  (And Eden was not on the ground.)

[According to traditional Jewish belief Adam and Eve are buried in the Cave of Machpelah, in Hebron.]

The Essence Of Reality

What is reality?

If mathematicians can describe everything in mathematical equations, they should try on reality. If everything is just physical, reality should be too.

But is it? How is it? What substances are made to perform as reality through out universe uniformly? Can this kind of physically constructed reality exist – in you, in me, in education, in science, in delusion…? Can reality be the same to all of these things both life and non-life?

If something cannot be defined or described in mathematics, or in physical structure, doesn’t it exist in reality as reality? Can’t it exist? Why can’t it exist?

Does reality exist? Why real and why not? Define that “reality” in scientific terms and phenomena, please!

Is the universe solely physical? Yes or no?

Doesn’t abstractness exist? Is abstractness also physical, as physical as atoms and elements, the colours of stars, the colours of the world, the colours of life and in physical world?

[Love is made of chemicals they say! But they never put these chemicals into a glass and said this is love!!! Why didn’t they ever do it? Because it will sound very silly and unscientific! But they keep saying love is chemicals!!! Then if two people don’t fall in love, shouldn’t they take such chemicals in a tablet form? If love is just chemicals, all problems of love affairs should have been solved long ago!!! Why don’t they do it? That will make big bucks, if love is really chemicals! They say so what they don’t believe and bother to prove.]

Must reality be physical to be in existence?

If reality needs to exist, does it need becoming physical matter? Do some matters compose reality? As matters vary, do different compositions of different matters make different realities? Hence my reality is different from others’ realities, including the universal reality?

So is it reality to you this (or that) way – only physical?

Reality is abstract. Thus, existence and life are abstract. Physical world is also abstract. And humanity is abstract in all available definitions. Why? The reason is everything seems to be abstract that even physical matters only exist with abstract as their essence. That’s the essence of reality in my view.

The reality is nobody seemed to have known the reason of an apple falling. Whence the theory is everything has not existed, it’s not fair to seek mathematical explanation or description of reality. Reality is right in front of everyone. It’s both inside and outside mind. It’s inside matters and outside matters. Reality is everything. Reality is abstract because it’s everything.

The theory of everything is reality. It cannot be described in words or images or in mathematical equations. No artists will be able to create reality. No chemists will find a way to put the chemicals to create reality. No photographers will be able to take a picture of reality. Reality is just to be known as it is. It’s the universe, the unity, the void and the infinity. It’s everything observable. Reality is everything that exists.

So somehow the existence of abstractness is not abstract at all but substantially realistic. Reality is thus abstract and can be explained in its abstractness only. As being abstract, reality is not composed and thus, is not limited to the idea of amount. Reality is unity and singularity without limit. That is infinity. Reality and infinity are one and the same. That’s how reality can exist everywhere at the same time and is not affected by local observance. Does this contradict Quantum Mechanics? I think not. I guess QM have found out how larger objects are also abstract – the projection of mind and how matters are just abstractness as their reality. Heat, cold, stiffness, softness, stickiness, binding forces, … and gravity are just abstract and as simple as just that.

It’s delusion whenever reality is not understood.

The reality of delusion is it veils the view, blindfolds the eyes, misinform the thought and veers away from reality.

Therefore, delusion is as powerful as reality to humans and other living organisms. For that good reason, once reality is found, and delusion is abandoned behind, whoever found it can become on top of the existence. And for the same reason, once reality is abandoned, and delusion is crowned, whoever lost the sense of reality can find themselves at the bottom of existence.

It’s important for us to know the reality of delusion. Education must be educating everyone about the reality of delusion. The purpose of education should be to educate about delusion and how to handle it. Let everyone become a critical thinker. The difference between human and other species is human can understand the reality of delusion.

As being invisible, colourless, shapeless, formless, scentless and tasteless, reality can be understood only by the mind. Only an abstract can understands abstractness. That’s how mind can know education. That’s how education is important to emphasize on abstractness of reality and reality of reality. That’s the reality we shouldn’t overlook.

[Reality is abstract. Abstractness is a reality. A reality is mind. Mind affects matters to behave such a way. Quantum Mechanics will be very interesting. Very interesting will be how the world be changed with new ideology in science. Science will be abstract again as it has been all along. Science of abstractness will lead the world to a better future. Better future will be with moral and the abstract side of cause and effect.]

What’s real?

The existence of abstractness is reality. The existence of physicality is abstract. Physicality is reality in its own terms and in its own right. Both abstractness and physicality are reality. The essences of them are reality but abstract. Strictly abstract!

And what’s not real? Guess!!!

Ideas! Ideas are not real. They can never become real. Concepts are not real and will never become reality. Dreams are not real. They cannot be turned into reality. Arguments are never real because of ideas, concept and argument itself. These are just ideological projections but unreal. They don’t exist outside ideological universe.

Is our universe real? Is it the existence outside the ideological universe? QM will let us know. Actually “You and I do not exist” physically because the smallest particles are formed by ideological projection. What we can feel as physicality with five senses is conditioned by our mind which is abstract. You’re your projection and your Schrödinger's cat; and I’m the projection of mine my Schrödinger's cat. We communicate with five senses plus thought formed in mind. We can communicate with one another physically because physicality is the means to communicate. Physicality is the connection used for mind to mind communication. Physicality is infrastructure set up by the mind, senses are the information travelling along the infrastructure and you and me (we are) just our minds – strictly mental only. The body is simply the infrastructure. But consciousness itself is not constant – sometimes it exists and sometimes it doesn’t. Where from it comes and how does it reappear? This is how it is hard to understand and all are seen as physical – whence physicality is conditioned by consciousness whenever it is present.

Mind is consciousness and everything mind is just feeling. When there is feeling, there is consciousness and vice versa. The reality is abstract – strictly abstract, and simply mental only. Reality doesn’t exist in physical form but in abstract form of physicality in terms of feeling when sensed by consciousness: softness, hardness, solidness, cold, heat, stickiness, wetness, dryness, etc.  (A video about consciousness)

A thing that doesn’t exist in reality has its truth as unreality – but it exists as projection of mind and is built with idea and concept as imagination. The reality that is made and formed is conditioned reality but it’s not reality that is real; it’s only the reality of conditioned reality. Reality and the conditioned reality are not the same. Conditioned reality is any or all of idea, concept, thought, dream as projection of the mind. Conditioned reality is the projected existence whence reality is the core – like the light to fire. The reality of projected reality is the light of the fire as fire exists on the fuel. Reality is the core that cannot be broken down any further. Conditioned reality is merely perception that is the projection constructed with idea, concept, thought and memorized information.

The truth or a truth of a thing is its reality or its essence. The truth of abstractness is it’s abstract and non-physical. The truth of reality is reality itself. Reality cannot be created, nor destroyed. Reality is just reality, not made and not formed.

Ego: what is ego?

Pain: what is pain?

In physical world, what is ego and pain as the reality of existence?

Ego is consciousness, feeling and sensation. An unconscious mind doesn’t show the sign of ego. Numbness doesn’t show the sign of sensation and consciousness. If the whole body is numb from injury or drug effect, even if the brain is functioning, there cannot be any sign of consciousness – in my opinion – thus, the brain might looks completely dead even if the person/animal is still alive somehow; however, internal vital organs should still be working though. When near waking up moment, sometimes some people felt they couldn’t move their limbs or other body parts– as though they were aware of their environment in half dreamy state. I wonder how the brain might look like during a moment like this. It might be active but the parts which control sensation and physical activity other than the heart and other vital organs might be inactive to cause such inability for movement.

Pain needs ego, consciousness and sensation to become into existence. A dead body doesn’t feel pain as it has no consciousness for sensation and ego. Ego is the ground for pain to sprout and grow on. Pain is sensation. In Buddhist ideology, egoless person doesn’t mentally suffer although physical pain level is unbearable to ordinary people with egos.

How should I explain evolution in terms of reality?

I have a question.

Why hasn’t how non-life matters becoming life matters been proven?

1. Scientists know how early stage of a planet might look like. The possibility appearance of early stage earth has been theorized.
2. How life might appear from non-life materials has been theorized. But no laboratory tests ever resulted in proving this theory of evolution.
3. If the way scientists think how the early stage of earth looked like, they should recreate it in laboratory. After that, they should demonstrate how life emerged from non-life materials.
4. We should want proof. As long as how life began is not solved, macroevolution has not become a reality but only a myth, merely a theory. Then it’s not right to claim evolution is the only truth whence its truth, its essence, is not yet found.
5. Agree with observable changes occur all the time as microevolution in which a species changes form, shape, size, colour, lifestyle, habitat and lifespan.
6. Yet macroevolution cannot be found in microevolution because that species doesn’t become a different species – i.e. moneys become only different monkeys, apes only become different type of apes, etc and as a conclusion, humans only become humans in different ethnicity or race.
7. Most importantly, a good stage by stage explanation is needed on how the earliest life form emerged from non-life form even if this scenario is not possible to be repeated in the laboratory. But why is it impossible? Because life didn’t come from non-life. If it did, it’s against the law of QM - imho. 

The Meaning of Disappearing Electrons

Now we know energy is no permanent. It can disappear from existence into nothing. It can be renewed perhaps and once it's born, it ages and dies later - in a friction of a second. That's the reason why electrons are disappearing just like us. As we're made from disappearing particles, the reason of death is within our body.



This video explains the electron are disappearing as a reason for parallel universe. But I don't want to go that path. Instead I want things simpler based on observable fact - changing world. I like to see changing as the factor of disappearing electrons and they have everything to do with the natural course of aging and death.

Then is the assumption "energy cannot be created or destroyed" wrong? I don't know. But the fact is electrons are disappearing. If that fact must lead to creating another theory, the theory of parallel universe, I guess there would never become the end of creating new theories for the universe.

In my view, infinity doesn't have to have more complex structures than what we have known so far. Galaxies: they must be just everywhere spreading in the infinite universe. Certainly the disappearing of electrons does raise a question about the big bang theory - at least. The big crunch is also questionable because of this fact - disappearing electrons.

Disappearing electrons suggest, new electrons are coming out of nothing or something yet to be known. At least that something must be replacing the electrons (or renewing them). Otherwise, someone will have to calculate the rate of electron disappearance out of existing universe.

The disappearing electrons also reminds me about "leaky universe" in which energy is leaking and consumed by the process of running this vast universe constantly.

Here Quantum Mechanics come in - in which how mind or consciousness is the factor that determines or changes the world at least at quantum level. Holographic World view might be a fact; yet to run it, needs energy produced by consciousness.

When You Have to Deal with ‘INFINITY’

The expansion of the universe is possible by theory. The theory states ‘infinite amount of energy’. That’s how the universe has to expend infinitely. Here a problem appears straight away.

The problem is – It sounds like:

♦ the wider infinity was shrunk into the size of a pea confining the infinite amount of energy.
♦ the pea sized universe existed till it started expending.
♦ the universe thus has no outside; thus, there is no condition for a force to exist outside; and when the universe shrunk, thus, it did it all by itself alone with its infinite energy and law contained within it.

From that problem, a problem appears:

♠ no matter how much the universe has expended, no matter how far it has reached out, it still has infinite amount of energy inside it. The universe will keep expending in infinity – even after infinite amount of time has passed, it will be expending, and expending...

The main problem is the word ‘infinite’. It cannot be measured nor shown in any (mathematical) expression. It cannot be understood scientifically. It’s a simple abstract word.

The questions are –
1. How did the universe shrink from larger infinity into smaller infinity?
2. How is the smaller infinity as large/infinite as the larger infinity and vice versa?



If the answer for Q1 is –

The universe never shrunk and the Big Bang was just once to be only once and the first time was just the last time.

Then again ‘infinity’ becomes a problem:

Why did the universe exist only as a pea sized universe in its past infinity, and for a reason, it started expending only from the last 13.7 billion years ago and will keep expending into infinity?



If the answer for Q 2 is -

Infinity is just infinity whether it’s smaller or larger (as a theory).

Then,

Why does the universe expend. Why did it need to expend?
What’s the difference between big and small, what role do they play as reality inside the universe?

And what is ‘REALITY’? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO US?

If SINGULARITY was that Small!

I'm arguing with the singularity - from wiki Big Bang.

1.
What Could Condense the Milk?

I would take the Big Bang theory if only I got an explanation on what (force)could have shrunk the matters down into such tiny condensation before the Big Bang. I have to know if there is such force still outside our universe, like gravity, that can bring all the matters in this universe into singularity as small as assumed size.

I don't believe any black holes out there can be strong enough to swallow all masses. Even if all black holes were put together as a single body Giant, I don't believe that black hole would be able to shrink itself into that small size.

Masses and and all the matters in the universe will not allow themselves to be jam-packed by any known force, also that Black Hole, into that small singularity. The combined energy from all corners of the entire universe must be equal to the energy inside that singularity. If that single Black Hole cannot do the task, what else could have done to condense the universe down that size?

2.
Infinity
Extrapolation of the expansion of the Universe backwards in time using general relativity yields an infinite density and temperature at a finite time in the past.

I cannot accept the word infinite density in that explanation. I don't believe it's possible. One reason is the single black hole has its limit and cannot overcome the resistant (and friction) of its own mass. Matters will resist once they reached a certain level of density. "Infinite" must be wrong and cannot be explained.

As time were finite, as space were finite and exist only within that singularity, and there were nothing as outside, how could there be inside and infinite as density? And there must be an explanation for how that infinite density then is still infinite density now - the universe must not have lost its energy as the claim is there was no outside.

Even if string theory were taken as reality, matters from the wavelet level, or smallest level, must have resistance to shrinkage. That infinite density can not be reality. Otherwise, it will become transcendental idea - there was no matter nor energy but something immaterial. Then we could say - it didn't need anything: "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing,"

3.
The Obvious

There you see!
If gravity, as the single Black Hole could not shrink the universe into that size,
If the "infinite density" is not explained
If there is no force outside the universe, as there were no outside,

I cannot believe the universe would have started from the singularity that size!

But I'm not saying "God did da bitch!" (no offense - just for the sake of sense of humor)

Multiverse Vs Universe

1.

nobody knows - what's the truth is.
but based on big bang theory, you must get multiverse because our universe is thought confined. there is no theory for is outside our universe.

if a big bang can cause a universe, and if our universe is not infinite, a question arises: why are there no other big bangs out there?

there you get multiverse of universes. the number is infinity.

two condition emerges:
if our universe is really expending, it might have crushed into the universes around it; then it can be like detergent bubbles in a washing machine.
If it has not crushed into these universes, then universes exist quite apart from one another, like soap bubbles floating in the space freely.

I wonder if a kid is blowing universes out one after another.

no guarantee if it's true, i think not, but just a theory- a theory built on another theory, (that's also built on an uncertain theory? see homogeneity and isotropy of space), is funny, isn't it?

we cannot go out and look. we cannot go toward the future or back into the past and look. the reality out there far, far away.

if Big Bang is wrong, not saying if it is, how should we view the universe? of course that bubble of multiverse will burst too.

if the universe has alternate reality other than God, as the kid blowing the soap bubbles, or Big Bang, we might never be able to pin that truth down, we might never accidentally find that ancient treasure.

the universe might not even have a start. it might have been as we see it no since the infinity of time. the galaxies and their arrangement in the universe might just changing like sand dunes over the chemical reactions and gravitational puppet shows.


2.
Leave that part and let's approach the Buddhist view.

The Buddha didn't mention the start of the universe but this is what he said something about the infinity of universe and space:
NO matter how fast or how long you can travel, you'd never reach the end - there will be more and more of the universe, never ending of them.

A Buddhist scripture describes how the Buddha and Venerable Maha-Moggallana traveled through the universes with their supernatural psychic power. That was to confirm how universe is endless.

Ven. aha-Moggallana took an alms-bowl of mustard seeds and dropped each upon the mount Meru locatein at the centre of each world formation. My assumption is they might be galaxies. After all the mustard sees were gone, they returned to earth.

I know everything was fine until it comes to psychic powers. Science will dismiss everything it has no idea. That's the funny side of science with its blind faith and big broom.

3.

We're curious smart a** but not smart enough to know everything. Life's short and lots to know. We don't know if we'd be able to know about our own earth with enough information to make us more intelligent.

God and Patience

according to the bible,

God didn't teach Adam how to apologize after Adam ignorantly ate the fruit of "knowledge".

his plan was obvious. he tricked Adam by allowing the snake into Eden and let them meet.

that's why he kicked Adam and Eve together out of Eden and let them suffer death as human ancestors. they are two who were the first victims of God - by murder. Every time a human dies naturally, God is responsible for murder.

God forced them to breed and make human generations. Forced them to eat animals by killing them. we all know all animals fear of death and always run away from the predators. but God let them get killed by man, and man to get killed by them and by other mans too.

By death, God test whether mans have faith in him. if he found no faith, according to his inconsistent laws, he sent mans to hell eternally. animals do not have to go to hell. that proves he treats mans worse than animals.

but there is no obvious information about heaven. what do people do in heavens? nobody knows or have clear answers. what do people do eternally in haven?

(According to Islam, men have purpose - God will give them many a virgin up to 70(?). I don't know about women and what they'll do in heaven.)

So what I find is -
God planned everything in advance.
God designed above scenario.

Therefore, patience is irrelevant.

Intuition

Belief in god is cultural issue. When a kid is raised in a culture that is influenced by such faith, that kid is likely to fall for it - but if the kid is forced to follow the culture, he/she will. Kids don't have resistance.

Human tendency is obviously egocentric - that one things one's culture is better for example. This leads to my religion is better. Just the way football fans support their team good or bad. They can even hate other teams and fight with their fans. At school level, students are made into teams and teams don't get along.

Human is basically superficial and egocentric. Unless one is exposed to a good family, culture, tradition, good teachers, etc, one is naturally to fall; won't become good automatically. if forced, one can become even worse. If exposed to worst culture, one can become a worst beast as human being.


It’s all about culture and also natural tendency of individuals. Culture is explained.

Tendency of a person is obvious too. That is what makes us different and unique and not robotic or mass-produced products. Due to such tendency, even smallest living organism (microbes) can get own personality.

Some people are smart from birth. Some are not. Even within a family, siblings have the differences. Genetic explanation got to get this far in explaining why even twins are different.

Some people are greedy some are not. Some are good in nature as some have short temper with either good or bad nature. Some are smart but do not have the heart for others. Some are smart enough to have a heart for others. Just consider all aspects of humanity. I hope science will explain it all sooner than later.

We use the word 'intuition' when we know something is right yet hard to explain. Sometimes we don't have enough idea how to explain it.
Intuition also happens when we have to feel something to happen - such as we might find the path (as in jungle) and as keep going you find the path (toward the village). Like it might rain tomorrow although it is sunny now and you have not heard the news and it might rain too - but you must rely on some commonsense though like seeing the cloud is building up.

However, intuition is for those who are uncertain. The more you learn, the less intuition is needed. Yes, intuition in math is obvious for kids who have to submit the calculation expecting the have the right answers. There they have to come into conclusion that they got it right and stop working on a problem.

Whenever a complex problem is there to solve, the need for intuition is obvious.
The more complex the problem, the more intuition is needed.
Hence superstition in real great events in history can be found - such as the battle won by the inferior side which the soldiers or the historians cannot explain how it happened. Consider this –

The Anglo-Spanish War: The Spanish Armada
http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/battleswars14011600/a/armada.htm

Well speculations are speculations.

The more we understand, the less for intuition. But do have enough words to explain everything? Have we? No. sooner or later new words will come into the world to explain new findings. So the place for intuition is still necessary in science too. That is also called hypothesis. The gut feeling of something that it must be so - it can be right etc. intuition is not the good way to end the explanation. But evolutionary theory is still at its level of intuition too - especially when it comes from how life started on earth. Evolution is fine and well explained but when it comes to links, e.g. humans might come from a branch of monkey. Where is the evidence? NO!!! Nothing but it’s science!!! And thus we must accept it, huh?

lol yes I'm laughing.

There the more we feel sure, the less intuition involves. There is no need for intuition in 2+2=4. Should I still say 'I think I might get it right this time"? Maybe!

Pink-Hippo Pictures: Rare Youngster Spotted in Kenya

Pink-Hippo Pictures: Rare Youngster Spotted in Kenya


Just like this hippo, a rare pink one, some great white elephants were pink rather than white. Some white elephants were described to have pink skin, pink eyelashes, pink trunk, pink nails, everything just pink - but probably not their ivories and body hairs including the hairs at the tip of the tail. Well, elephant hairs from the tip of the tail are used for bracelets in Burma - dark black ones indeed.

I read about white elephants in Burmese literature. There were 10 types of elephants and the white ones were giant and powerful so the normal elephants fear/respect them. White elephants were believed born from ordinary elephants - but they rather lived with their mammies and looked after them till they died. Buddhism randomly appreciates the white elephant. As a bodhisattva, a white elephant lived with his mother during the Gotama Buddha time. The love story of three elephants, the bodhisattva and his two wives, in the Pali Cannon is a famous reference to poets and writers and different artists in Burma.

So a white elephant was really rare and believed as a king of elephants or the head of its heard. And those white ones were believed as the significant beings in Buddhism.

BTW to see the hippo, click the link above.

In the future (ten) Bodhisattas will attain full awakening in the
following order: the most honourable (Ariya) Metteyya, (King) Rama, (King)
Pasenadi of Kosala, (the Deva) Abhibhu, (the Asura Deva) Dighasoni, (the
Brahman) Candani, (the young man) Subha, the Brahman Todeyya, (the
elephant) Nalagiri, and (the elephant) Palaleya.(11)

NIRVANA

Min Khin Kyaw

Average human consumption of resources in a lifetime is significant. As one lives, one must consume and get a share small or huge. Minimum is still significant to other life forms – even if you’re a vegetarian. A person needs an area to live in, some food, some water, some fresh air, some fuel, some carbon-footprint and some amount of fun. A vegetarian needs some plants on which other living things can rely on too. So a share is a share whether small or large.

The concept of nirvana is to give up that little share completely. Then other living things can share that tiny amount. Just think about both a whale carcass and a dead microbe – they both can be consumed by many.

To gain nirvana, a person gradually gives up his share he gains by any means. And when one has done by giving up the share, one achieves nirvana. In this case, the craving for the share has to be given up completely too. Giving up the share cannot be completed if the crave for a share is still remained.

The Buddha emphasized three kinds of cravings: the craving for materials and the sensual things, the craving for being or life and the craving for higher life-form, such as divinity; and each craving is the desire for a share. This is what to know.

Hence, there are the condition for desire and the condition for the need for desire – as a fact of the existence. Desire is just desire and common to every living being. The condition for the need for desire is also belongs to every living being. Upon these two factors, the existence has all the lures for both higher intelligence and lower intelligence. As for scientists, the complexity of existence is the lure; for a poet and writer, the beauty of words, the beauty of information and the beauty of creation are the lure; and for a tiny fish, a worm attached to the hook is the lure.

So the universe or the great existence is just us the beings and lures – nothing else. Maya is the word for lure which I learned when I was young and didn’t understand well then. Whether craving to know, or craving to have – whether for good or bad – are attached with strings with hooks but one is like the needle that injects medicine and the other poison.

It seems all the lures for both low and high intelligence are attached to hooks that have hooked the hearts of the beings. The reason for the hooks is when we remove or cut the lure or run out of the lure, we get hurt inside – and well, we crave for more. To a scientists, being unable to study the complexity hurts. To a poet, being short of words hurts. And to a tiny fish, the actual hook hurts. And each heart is hooked by countless hooks and hooked by the same hooks countless times. And being with more hooks those inject poison than those inject medicine is very painful.

Removing each hook seems really painful. But each hook in the flesh indeed hurts very painfully. However, a wound seems to be normal until the nurse comes and clean it up and put certain medicine, the pain becomes unbearable again – and that seems the reason why people don’t like the hooks removed to heal their wounds. At the same time, the hooks are pulled by the lures. Well, the lures are both inside the heart and out there.

Imagine an image of a person being his heart hooked and the lines are attached to the lures out there near and afar. Right now I can see myself this way –
And I’m craving for my share everyday!
Hooks look really shiny and beautiful although the lines are ugly and awful...

DEMO-CRACY & DEMO-CRAZY

democracy is peoples' power to give shared responsibility to their representative... to manage their welfare and general civil services ... for the peace and prosperity of their society which they can share with each others fairly and squarely...

demo-crazy is the opposite of the above description empowered by the people themselves...

Still ASLEEP?! WAKE UP!


I didn't think I had to write or should write:

Dancing or fighting peacock, I don't take either side, I don't discriminate, I don't think we must divide ourselves with such ideological disunity. That view of making devision amongst ourselves should be left behind... I do believe that.

Just consider why the communists didn't believe how Burma was not independent yet even after the declaration of independence on 4 January 1948. The reason is they were not the one who made that independence occurred. So they fought on ... but who did they fight against ... after the British had left completely? Yes, who were their targets? And their revolution went on ... selfishly... systematically to destroy ... the country ... like Polpot did!!!!!

And why did General Aung San left the army and became a politician? He could have become a dictator ... like General New Win!!!!


Well, are we all aware of how to be realistic?

Political pragmatism... (let different views face on)

I believe we must dare to see! We must dare to be honest - even if in silence.
What to see? What is that we have to be honest about to ourselves?
The causes of and the causes that keep our problems. The causes that don't give us victory. The causes that give us defeats again and again!

Just have the guts to be honest to yourselves!!!

Democracy is not an ism. It's how the reality of the world is. Whether you look a prosperous country or a ruin one, you can find how people decide the way they want to be ... and what exploits their way of thought and how they have been. And think about Burma after that... think about Burma only after you look the wider world first.

Democracy is not an ism but it's the way of life. You can see the quality of different democracies. Some people have good democracy and some have bad democracy. All of them are the reality of the world. And Burma has some chaotic thought patterns of different leaders, activists and the general. Maybe not a strange thing... some are systematic, some are idealistic, some are pragmatic and some/or most are just mixed.

Then how about you?

I rather be pragmatic even if it's not easy for everyone to practice "practical changes".

My understanding of Political Pragmatism is simple. Find the problems, and find the causes of these problems and find the solutions. Knowing problems doesn't lead to finding solutions directly. You must find the causes of problems... and you must be courageous and honest! With an open mind, you find the solutions.

I don't know whether General Aung San was pragmatic or just following the rules - not to govern the nation in military uniform. If he was just pragmatic, then yet he was not pragmatic enough in one situation - he left the military in the hand of a corrupt. Maybe he didn't have much chance to do it differently - then why?

As we all know Burma was never really Burma. Not even now. It's a union of different ethnics who thought they didn't want to be in the union forever. Why? That can be still the same - the reality now. Why? Assume it as the reality and find the cause ... Do we have to? We all know they are asking for better treatment, equality and not being discriminated in any form. And their solution is? Civil War!

What has civil war served anyway? What has it produced? What is its reality in general appearance? And its future?
Isn't it civil war what has backfired the ethnics? Far from achieving their ambitions, all they have gained is the ruin of all ... and yet they don't even get simple recognition amongst themselves!

Can we learn how to be pragmatic? And become more and more pragmatic?

Pragmatism doesn't need to overlook idealism. IDEALISM POLITICAL doesn't need to be thrown into the bin... Pragmatism is to make use of everything available pragmatically.

Fake Genius

If the UN were to govern and manage the world as the central government, could UN govern and manage the world properly? By applying all UN's declaration of human rights, universal rights, and peace as ambition, is it possible for the UN?

My answer is ...

NO!




If a people deserve the government they have, the world is not ready for peace. The world cannot be united for a few reasons. 1. People want to fight; 2. People want to believe but disqualify others' beliefs; 3. People want to compete for pride that they are better than the rest - (nationalism is important for their pride); 4. People want to survive as they are with people, language and culture intact.

If UN cannot govern the world, are all UN's 'ambitions, declarations and ways of thinking' practical or 'only reasonable but not practical'?

This is an open question that I have no answer for now!



Does UN have all answers for current situations - religious wars, economic wars and all other human conflicts? I guess not! But why?

The reason is 'human nature'! People are just supposed to suffer by all means: our beliefs, our ways of life and our ways of educations. All these three things are based on gaining influence on others and gaining control of everything. These are to have everything for own use and not to let others share. These are to change others and to change the world. These are being lack of compromise and pleasure on others' sufferings.

'You are wrong and wrong no matter what and don't tell me why you're not wrong!' And all the wrong ones don't deserve peace! And don't want others get it right. Praying for others, without actual proper prayers, to fail.

But people don't really hate each other seriously... except for a few countries/peoples in direct contact though. Naturally people don't hate before they have known others. We don't hate the people we don't know exist. We start getting trouble only with who come into our scope of senses. Emotionally we need something naturally. If you didn't know my name, if you never saw my face before, if you never heard my voice … and if you never sensed my existence, your mind could not, yes naturally cannot, hate me. If you never read my writing, you'd never thought about what I had to say and you never care because you have nothing, just nothing to care.

:)

If the UN could govern, the world would not need armies but only polices and never such fearsome weapons again and never had any such and such arm trades again. But the world likes FIGHTING, REVOLUTION, RELIGIOUS WAR, & CONTEST of STRENGTH.

The world is not made of just geniuses but Fake Geniuses as well!

FEAR DESCENTS FROM ABOVE

Fear descents from above
Its many outlets soaked in fear
The fearful landscape shaken
Many mans attempted escape
Many being taken … silence
Nobody stands a chance
Blown in the freehand gusts…
Dusts clouds
Many faces turn away;
In fear-land,
Mans
Under the death emblem veiling above them
In the dusk, these mans trying to see one another
Rise up, they disappear…
Through the outlets of fear
Slowly treasures devolve!
