FAQ: "If not created by God, who am I?"

MEDITATEDear Ones,

What decide what you should act and how you should act has nothing to do with how human beings came about but with your most self-aware and awake consciousness that you bring about in your NOW. While environmental and cosmological states change constantly, you can only act rightfully with your clear sense of NOW, NOT who were you in the past AND HENCE what you should do in the present or future, in a logical manner. (-.-)

NOTE: Purely based on LOGIC may turn your actions into ILLUSIONS. Ones must have a strong sense of NOW to act according to the rhythm of their surroundings to achieve balances. (-.-)

I understand that many people, especially my western brothers & sisters, like to dig too far away from their present to find out who they belong to, in a logical and rational manner. This mentality is very much impacted by their religion that ended their question with 'GOD'. Even when they finally decided to detach themselves from the false belief of godhood, such mind-set has yet to go away. (-.-)

My Advice: Before you start finding out the 'entity' that you should belong to, first of all, you've to find WHO YOU ARE; or else you don't even know WHO belongs to WHO. (-.-)

To find out who you are, the following Zen Quest may help you through:

"While you are here with you, why running and digging around just to find out who you are?" (-.-)

I also understand that some of you may have problem emptying your mind during meditation. Some people even told me that they think even more nonsenses during meditation! If you really can't help yourself on that, then apply the Zen Quest given by me above -- Why??? Isn't this another way of THINKING??? -- No, this is another way of Zen enlightenment technique: putting your logical self to a DEAD-END with another logical yet collective thought-worthy question (We usually called it 'Zen Quest'). Often, Zen Quest always generates TWO simple outcomes:

1. You'll get a sudden awakening;
2. You still circling yourself at the dead-end until you reach the first outcome.

Wish you have a great awakening of Buddha!

Namaste. (-.-)
