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. (-.-)

VIDEOS: What is 'Dao'? 何谓「道」?(-.-)

dao

Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2

We can only see the barrier that is blocking our mind, we can never see the truth of what thing really is. The barrier, is our prejudice, our ego, and our greed. This is therefore life hitting the wall everywhere because we deny the truth of all things through our own inner barriers. To live happily and wisely, we've to start throwing away the barriers that are blocking our way to see the truth of all things.

So....

When I think I'm pretty, then the prettiness is my barrier;
When I think I'm smart, then the smartness is my barrier;
When I think I'm rich, then the richness is my barrier;
When I think I'm powerful, then the powerfulness is my barrier.

Next, to go into a little bit more deeper and beyond duality...

if I think I'm wise, then my wise-ness is my barrier;
If I think I'm kind, then my kindness is my barrier;
if I think I'm caring, then my caring-ness is my barrier;
if I think I'm loving, then my lovingness is my barrier.

Namaste (-.-)

What is Zen?

4a6d70ca88369 

Zen is when you no longer ask "what is Zen".

Zen is when you no longer follow the book to define what Zen is.

Zen is when the whole bunch of people throwing stones at you and you still have no idea who they're throwing stones at.

Zen is something for you to condemn, criticize, question, and laugh at, with your duality-based scientific logical analysis, when you have not entered into the realm of Zen.

Zen is like an apple dropping down from the tree and Newton is science.

Zen is when we fully responsible for every single activity that we have done in our daily life. But it is hard to be accomplished if we're living in the monetary society because the money that we've paid for a specific item might not be equal to the effort that we've invested in order to gain that specific item, sometimes more, sometimes less. When maximizing profit is to minimize costs and maximize revenue, we're actually trying to minimize our responsibility (cost) and maximize what we wanted to gain (profit), for example, reducing the item quality and charge for the same or higher price. This is how monetary system introduce karma accumulation to humanity.

If everything belongs to ONE, the 'ONE' belongs to where?

All occurrences of all entities are the same if you're able to see them in the form of energy rather than in the physical form of illusion simply because they're in different kinds, different shapes, different colors, at different time and location. Why physical is illusion? -- because none of them are eternal except the underlying energy that manipulating within them and outside them.

Peoples who can only see things in physical form of separation will have problem to resonate, relate, connect, and unable to detect the symbiosis between two or more occurrences. This is why they always find themselves hard to accept the truth that everything is in fact ONE. When you try tell them something which is related to another, and when they're not able to relate it, they will say: "You think too much!" This typical human quote ("You think too much!") can be a killer quote that prevents the humanity from putting extra effort to further investigate the truth so that they can continue to focus on what they suppose to do in their daily robotic journey. While keeping them alive in physical, they have no idea where they're heading to at the end of day.

Whereas peoples who are good in relating and connecting two or more matters into one whole relevant matter in a totally logical manner by all ankles are often very near to awakening. If you're these kind of people, you should stay with yourself more often to find out the universal truth of all things in order to raise yourself to a higher dimensional realm. Once you have reached this realm, you will discover that all sufferings of humanity are in fact unnecessary and your strong passion of love revealed. As such, you will start to use your energy of love to balance up the overwhelming negative energy of darkness so that the planet Earth can be healed.

However, to entirely get rid of duality and ego, once you have recognized the fact that all things are ONE, you will have to further forget about that 'ONE' by resonating that 'ONE' with the cosmos to reach the highest realm of consciousness. In Zen, there is a popular quest of awakening:

万法归一,一归何处?

Means: "If everything belongs to ONE, the 'ONE' belongs to where?"

Follow this quest for your great awakening!

Namaste.

Why am I so believe in the existence of Pleiadian and the Galactic Federation of Light?

While remain in doubt, many of my friends may find it so funny why I’m believing something which has yet to have a solid evidence, at least in the country of Malaysia. Before giving out my explanation, first of all, let us try to understand how the human’s “belief mechanism” works:

According to their personal interests, human will drive themselves towards such “interests” in order to fulfill their satisfactory. Therefore, when someone believe in something, it is not something that makes him/her to believe in but it is what he/she wanted and would like to believe in. For example, some people believe in money because he believes money can satisfy his/her materialistic’s needs or simply to meet his/her fundamental needs in life; some people believe in love, because he/she so in need to be loved and so on. To a politician or religionist, it is not so difficult to get the crowd to believe in them if they are able to grab the common interest of the public well.

OK, now come back to my interest of belief: Why am I so believe in Pleiadian and the Galactic Federation of Ligh thingy? As the matter of fact, I believe that all kinds of object in the entire Universe are only ONE, and this ONE needs to be forgotten so that YOU and this ONE can only become ONE and hence become NOTHING. This is what I have been beliving since the day I was born. Until one day, I read about Buddha’s thaught when I was 14, followed by ZEN, followed by my most recent research: The teaching of Pleiadian and the Galactic Federation of Light. In other words, I’m not believing in Pleiadian or Galactic Federation of Light but the thought that are trying to convey to us:

  • Light - 传灯录
  • Unity, Totality, No separation - 万法归一,一归何处?宇宙万物,合为一体。
  • Concious - 领悟、觉悟
  • Love - 慈悲

I also believe in the balance between positivity and negativity. Everything in the Universe moves when they are trying to reach such balancing. The movement, or the unstoppable movement, is a balancing by itself. Staying still without moving is also a type of balancing state. Therefore, moving and not moving is the same.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you believe in this, it doesn’t really matter whether you believe in Pleiadian or not.
