Steven Greer

 Steven Greer

I am a medical guy.

I did not register for my medical registration for nearly for 25 years to become a critic of the medical profession. Presently,I am  not bound by Hypocritic Oath. I have followed Carl Segan, Bertram Russel and colonel Henry Steel Olcott and I am open to inquiry and criticism of any kind as long as it is done in an objective and scientific way.

It does not mean that science is the only way.

I have followed this guy and was skeptical of him from the very beginning.    I won't say he is a hoax but certainly a crafty manipulator, the kind that a CIA operator would be fond of. He uses subtle ways to plant seeds of disinformation.

He says he had seen alien crafts twice but no photographic evidence to support his claims. One has to believe him just like a CIA guy wants us to believe in a particular scenario. My personal belief is that the CIA has created alien story to hoodwink and cover up stealth aircraft development.

My book on “Alien Saga” has done a superficial  reflection. Since, I have no direct verifiable evidence, it is not a revelation but somewhat of  a conjecture.

Linda Moulton Howe is an artful investigative journalist and Steven Greer berates her.

Betty Hill alien abduction story is, if at all, speculative.

David Grusch the CIA guy has given only a hearsay evidence without any supportive evidence.

Nothing direct or objective.

Steven Greer craftily built up his gullible client base and his disclosure project was a smoke screen without any credible evidence.

He has made a fortune.

All his sons are doctors.

Why none of his sons made a career path in Ufology?

He has now changed to NDE (Near Death Experience) Saga.

His earlier claim was that he followed a meditation session in India and became aware of alien beings. According to him, he has had severe septicaemia in childhood that may have had significant and lasting damage to some parts of his brain. These childhood illusions and delusions during septicaemia may have had lasting impression on him. I am glad he never upgraded  his own medical career.

I am a retired pathologist (as Buddhist I wish him long life without dementia) and if somebody does  a Postmortem Examination of his brain, vital clues of childhood insults may be revealed. That decision is left to his medical children. If for some reason he was born in Ceylon he would have had a tough time to convince even gullible Ceylonese.

Even though, we are eternally, duped by our politicians and Kalama Sutta has given us the freedom for Free Inquiry we Ceylonese lack investigative talents.

By the way, Free Inquiry  is lacking in USA and also in the West and the Print Media are basically controlled by CIA and M16.

Tucker Carlson working under duress in American Media is a living monument to this lack of transparency.

CIA, FBI and M15/16 fear free inquiry.

Since most of their war efforts are over and the proxy war in Ukraine is coming to a stall and the covert viral and bio-engineering projects in Ukraine are not revealed to the public, we have to rely on speculations.

I do not like speculations.

Revelations

"Not only is there an amazing willingness in the human mind to invest credence and faith in unproven facts, but there is more evil, more readiness than ever on the part of various sophisticated groups, to use this human weakness as a tool in controlling others."

 

Lorenso

Skilled Investigator

Hello: I'm a new listener and I've been trying to get caught up with past episodes, and I came across your Greer interviews. At the time there was some question as to what goes on in his "Ambassador" program, so perhaps I have something to contribute. I attended a 1-day seminar that had a sky-watching/meditation portion that night. I heard the Michael Horn interview first and so I was hoping you were going to disembowel Greer, but I discovered the hosts had fallen for the same "Mr Disclosure" facade as I.

I love you guys for getting to the bottom of it, without sitting through 8 hours of Greer. Anyway, here's my story from that evening, which I wrote up the next day:

I do not remember when I first heard of Dr. Steven Greer and his organisations CSETI and Disclosure Project but I had come across mentions of his name in both podcast interviews and in links on the web over the years. When      I found out that he would be holding a workshop in the area, I decided to sign up, just to see what would happen.

My general impression of Dr. Greer was that  he was a type of Contactee who claimed to have a group meditation technique that could actually create an interaction with ET Intelligence, generally in the form of UFO activity. I had not yet read any of his books,   but I found from his websites that he is also a big Disclosure advocate. Furthermore, Dr. Greer was a physician who gave all that up to pursue disclosure and set up CSETI.   You have to admire that level of commitment and it made me think that something significant must have happened to this man to keep him going all these years.

From what I gleaned from his website, Dr. Greer seemed to fit in generally as a Disclosure advocate and Contactee. That all sounded interesting enough for me,    so I signed up for his CSETI "CE-5 workshop". I have to confess that I knew little about him at this point, but the little I knew was positive enough and if he could produce a UFO at the end of the day, he'd have me convinced!

My first disappointment started early, when I got the reading materials in the mail. The book I received, "Hidden Truth" was apparentlya transcription from his biographical lectures and runs like a stream-of-consciousness biography of a Contactee. Greer's early years were very much like other "Abductees", "Experiencers" and Contactees- filled with abuse, neglect, and illness. Why so many UFO experiencers (as well as Near Death experiencers) have also had difficult childhood experiences is yet another mystery, but it is well documented.

Dr. Greer was also like many other Experiencers in that he was able to transcend his difficult upbringing. In his case, he spent years studying meditation and spirituality (TM and Bahai) and then went on to get  a Medical degree.

I have read books by other Contactees and Channelers before and the one thing that stands out about this group is that they are the ones that have all the answers. While the MUFON people are puzzling over a melted drop of aluminium and Crop Circle researchers stare at unintelligible symbols written in wheat, Contactees often know exactly what's going on.

Unfortunately, they never agree, except to tell you that all the others are wrong.

In summary, here are some of Dr. Greer's Answers to our questions:

Q. What are UFOs?

Answer: Advanced, peaceful and wise life forms that use the technology/wisdom as described in Vedic scriptures to create high-tech vehicles and travel vast distances.

Q. What is the ET Agenda?

Answer: They are all good and here to help.Like Guardian Angels, they keep the world from blowing up until we humans come to figure out how to become enlightened beings.

Q. Then what about the Alien Abductions?

Answer: They are ALL done by shadowy human organisations (The Majestic Group) in order to scare us and make us hate the good ETs. Same goes for Cattle Mutilations!

Q. How does this military group pull off these complex abductions and mutilations?

Answer: The "Majestic" people have super technology, almost as good as the ETs and they keep it from the rest of humanity for their own nefarious purposes.

Q. Why does this story seem so different from what the "mainstream" UFO investigators have to say?

Answer: The mainstream investigators are thoroughly infiltrated by spooks, bribed, and drug-peddled.

Like many conspiracy theorists, you find on the Web, the world he describes is run by a supernaturally powerful group of insiders. These guys are the ones who killed the Kennedys, got rid of Marilyn Monroe, or orchestrated Watergate, listen to our every conversation, have bases on the moon and have all the patents to give us free energy and end poverty. They also have death rays and can take us out that way any time they want.

The most disappointing thing about Greer's Story to me was the amount of secrecy he maintains over his sources. Many of his most revealing interviews that tell us the most about these shadowy groups were from unnamed sources. For someone so interested in Government disclosure,Steven Greer holds an awful lot of secrets himself. He even intimated in the book and said more clearly during his lecture, that he has "explosive" secret information, which is what protects him from getting zapped by the "Majestic" people. He keeps this information secret but threatens to reveal it if they ever "get" him.

By the time, I set out for Greer'sCE-5 Workshop, his bubble was about half deflated. But, I thought, he must know a lot about meditation,    so I'll learn something there and if I actually see a UFO tonight, well that would be something!

So, with some trepidation that I might be wasting my time but hopeful that I wasn't, I set off for the workshop in Petaluma,California at the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

Dr. Greer is a big man, with a weight lifter’s build. He speaks with a Southern accent that reminded me of Al Gore. He arrived with a small entourage consisting of two middle aged women, a worshipful, doe-eyed young man and a security detail of two guards.

The workshop was sold out, with about 70 attendees. At $175 per person, I calculated the event must have grossed about $12,250. After the costs of transportation, hotels and security, I am sure he had a small profit but I imagine billing Medicare would be a much easier way for an MD to make money.

The daylight component of the workshop consisted almost entirely of Dr. Greer re-hashing what was in his book. He would occasionally needle us for not having read it but I got the sense from the attendees that they, like me, had nearly all read the whole thing. Some attendees seemed quite devoted.

Dr. Greer did not seem interested in taking questions.

He took a couple at the end of the talk but ran out the clock by elaborating and telling unrelated stories, also from the book.

He struck me as surprisingly egotistical and even mean for someone who has spent so many years in meditative contemplation. One attendee, who clearly had studied Vedic Theology, asked a technical question, filled with Vedic Jargon.

Dr. Greer quickly rejoined with a quote, “such ignorance is spoken in so many large words”   and flashed a grin at one of his followers.

Later,Dr. Greer produced photos of a mummified "Alien Child" discovered in Peru." If you don't know what desiccated means? Look it up, it means dried up".

He spoke of it like a new case that he was busy investigating. It looked to my untrained eye like a freeze-dried fetus, so I asked him how it was different from a normal fetus. He squinted at me, “are you a doctor?”

Shortly after that, while explaining why he needed a security detail up here in hippie central,  he suggested    (in jest?), I might be one of the infiltrators out to get him.

We finished the daylight portion of the workshop by viewing his video and photographic evidence. As seems so often the case, the most spectacular encounters he describes on the Web Site   and in his book all occurred when no video or camera was available. For some reason, it was about a decade into his CSETI Project before they thought of purchasing a decent video camera and all the best sightings had apparently already happened by then.

We saw slides of the usual type of UFO footage, “the strange things in the sky”.

We also watched the CSETI Footage that was captured more recently and excluding all UFOs that acted just like satellites and shooting stars and there were a handful of light anomalies.

I guess even Greer's best ET friends are camera-shy.

During the break for dinner, I joined some others in the group for burritos. It was interesting to hear their ideas and impressions. Two women seemed determined to agree with everything Greer had to say.        A third was very much like me, critically open minded. We were all hopeful that he would produce a UFO that evening and perfectly willing to suspend judgement. We did have another attendee who was very concerned about what might happen. She was from Eastern Europe and her English was rough but apparently, she thought that making contact with ETs was against some kind of NASA International Law and we might contract alien viruses or something.

I could not tell if she was being deliberately enigmatic or was having trouble expressing herself!

By this point, I suspect a lot of us were thinking he had better produce a UFO because the rest of the story was not holding up very well.

So we headed back up the hill with our cameras and folding chairs and EM Meters and night vision goggles with high hopes that this experiment in collective psychic communication would finally reveal something new about the UFO Phenomenon.

As night fell,Dr. Greer was as garrulous as ever, telling us more stories out of the book we had all read. We all sat straining at the stars trying to spot something unusual and wondering when we would get to the point when Dr. Greer would do his thing and pull down an ET.

The story telling continued, along with some shooting stars and satellite observations, for about two hours. A couple of poor abductees spoke up with questions about missing time experiences and having met ETs but unable to get over the terror of the experience.

Dr. Greer calmed them down gently “if you are scared of the ET, then you need to get over it”.

Missing time?

Who knows, probably nothing?

Dr. Greer had an interesting prop for the night.  A police radar detector that made audible noises and seemed to punctuate at random moments with Dr. Greer’ suttering.

Dr. Greer seemed to think these noises were significant.

I could not help but notice that our mountainside outpost had a direct line of sight to Highway 101 in the valley floor, so these alarms could just as well have been the occasional CHP rounding a bend, headlights shining right at us.

He called the sounds "information download", which of course SETI gets all the time and suppresses.

As midnight rolled around,Dr. Greer seemed to begin to lose steam and we finally attempted the “meditation protocol” under the stars.

As a spiritual liturgy, it was quite beautiful.

We all sat together and meditated on peace and cosmic harmony. Following the meditation, he asked for any messages or visions. I am not good at this kind of stuff, so I had nothing to offer. A few folks had various sensations of meeting cosmic beings  and attempted to invite them down. These beings did not seem to take us very seriously however, because in both reports, the ETs wanted to know what the hell we wanted.

Unfortunately, our ambassadors for the night could not think of anything convincing enough and no one came to visit. And so, at around 12:30AM, we finished. I did not wait around to hold hands and give thanks. Some people applauded but I'm not sure why. I just packed up my belongings and headed back to the car so I could get home as fast as I could.

P.S.

Dr. Greer apparently has a very active astral life. While he never got to meet Bill Clinton in person, he says he has met with the President a number of times astrally and the two would confer. He also says he keeps the Secret Service busy with tips on assassination attempts that he has Remote Viewed and been able to avert.

Most recently, he informed them of an attempted IED attack by the “Majestic” people on President Obama.

I did not get the chance to ask him why the Majestic people cannot just hit him with a cancer ray beam.

Types of Ceylonese Buddhists

Types of Ceylonese Buddhists

Eggo Buddhists

The Eggs and not Ego-there is no Ego or self in true Buddhism, but phenomenal existence of beings of numerous kinds.

This is something as a little brat not even going to nursery school I have heard and seen at first hand. There was an intense debate over eating eggs before and during 1956 and the Eggo Buddhists won the day. The argument was that weBuddhists can eat eggs as long as we eat the eggs not fertilized by a cock. 

This is where cock’s right to sex is violated not any cock but the bird’s variety. 

We are “cock sure” that every egg we eat is NOT fertilised before our consumption and we can see it through the shell with our meditative instinct.

This is where cocks rights are violated by default and cocks are not allowed to screw since, if they do that we Buddhists won’t be able eat eggs.

This is the cork screw solution we extend to Non Buddhist rearing animals for our consumption.      If we Buddhists are not there to consume the products made byNon Buddhists their livelihood is lost to our economy. 

The logic pops out like a cork screw of a campaign bottle.

With this point of confirmation we Buddhist over the next 50 years evolved to the Modern Buddhism, to kill even our fellow beings Tamils, in the name of a Single Nation and National Building. 

The guy who was instrumental in building    (with the help of another guy who was very good at introducing Vulgar Sense to Local Literature) this Hegemony (the word Concept is inappropriate)  or Saga died in America, looking for Western treatment.

Alcohol Buddhists

Then came the Mujja Pama Dharshanaya which culminated during the period of                      Mrs. Kumaranatunge where the highest amount of alcohol was on sale and produced (except wine).

This is coming out of the 5 precepts where one takes intoxicating beverages and depends on one’s liver’s powerful enough mechanism to detoxify them and as long as one does not show signs of intoxication, it is NOT a bad thing.

 

A little bit is OK, philosophy!

 

I have written a book on alcohol and drugs where I state that, even one tot will cause “Fatty Changes in the Liver” which lasts over 8 hours, after ingestion of any type of alcohol.

In the “First Pass” of the liver, it causes metabolic changes.

The rationale here is one must train the liver to identify alcohol early enough ideally during pregnancy and then when the big match (cricket the national game) comes one must train the teenagers to indulge.

If the training is done early on, one can consume alcohol even on the DaladaPerehara (except elephants on 4 legs) and specially on May Day Perehara.

Lottery Buddhists

The third one is the most powerful economic wise. 

Arogyasala Lottery or the Hospital Lottery and this has now progressed into Lotto Game and extend even up to World Cup and I.P.L Cricket and bidding for players.

The Casino Buddhists

The owner can be a Buddhist as long as the players are not Buddhists

All the above are for the powerful Buddhists in the Colombo 7 and around.

Thera Vada Buddhists

This is the category of Sri-Lankan EgoBuddhists with copyright to Thera Vada.

 

Now that the sole authority (copyright) on Buddhism is with Sinhalayas and there is a category of Buddhists who protect the copyright of Buddhism (without practicing precepts and principles )of Theravada, come what it may and promote practices exclusively mentioned below and resistant to spread of Buddhismto other nations and countries and monopoly, on Theravada

It is the tendency to spread arguments for and against or Vada for the total monopoly and commercial consumption.

I must say Buddhism was not recorded for over 1100 years after Parinibbhana of Buddha and it was probably done first in China (Chinese texts disappeared after Mao Zedong) and it was recorded in Aluvihara,  Matale, Ceylon, probably 1700 years later

 

What is relevant is there is no copyright or Pure Buddhism in existence in the present or in the past.

In the 11 year, Bemintiya Seya or the Great Famine, it is said Buddhist monks who were starving tried to memorize the Dhamma texts.

Beminitiya Seya

Beminitiya Seya, also known as the GreatFamine (103–89 BCE) was a major famine which occurred in the Anuradhapura Kingdom during the rule of the Five Dravidians, shortly after overthrow of King Valagambahu

For over a decade, the irrigation systems of the Anuradhapura Kingdom had failed as a result of invasion, corruption and neglect.

 

It was undoubtedly one of the darkest eras of Sri Lankan history

 

Long periods of drought coupled with South Indian invasion meant that maintenance and repair of the once advanced irrigation systems of the kingdom were now completely neglected. The situation eased after the death of the last of the Five Dravidians and the return of King Valagambahu

As soon as Valagambahu returned to the throne in 89 BCE, many reforms were introduced to repair and reconstruct the ill fated irrigation systems of the kingdom, which eventually brought the Beminitiya Seya to an end in 89 BCE.

 

To this day,Valagambahu is regarded as one of Sri Lanka's greatest kings.

 

The rest of the five types are as follows.

Bodhi Puja Buddhists

Bodhi Puja Variety is the most popular one.

This is the category who get round the Bodhi or the sacred pipal tree (not papal or pupal) chanting and pouring milk on it roots (which leads to rotting of the aerial roots and the tree prefers dry or arid soil with roots growing very deep in search of underground water).

This chanting done without understanding the difference of water and milk to a living tree.

The Chicken Buddhists

The next variety is the most common.

If you ask them do you eat meat.

They say no, no and not for beef but if you prompt and ask what about fish and chicken, then they come out with the circular theory and logic that broilers live for 42 days and if it was killed on the 41st day and we actually contribute to its well being by reducing the misery of the chicken by one day and that helps them to evolve into better life, next time round, by making a hungry human happy at meal time.

This was the best philosophical tenet that evolved from Eggo Buddhists to modern Tech and Computer Buddhists.

 

The answer goes like this.

The small fish is fodder for the larger fish, in the food chain and man is the last in that chain because we are terrestrial and the fish on a muddy pool is saved from cranes and they have no business to be on our domain or the terrestrial footing, anyway.

Confused Buddhists

The next is the Confused Buddhist (I come under this category)  where part of me is ancient Buddhist Thinking and the other part is Modern Buddhism but with age catching up with my own intellectual interpretation, I am becoming more and more of an ancient Buddhist, good for an ornamented coffin, in a few years time.

The last two, if I try to explain fully I will be expelled from this blessed country (I am out of the country presently)  like the Buddhist monk who wrote poems instead of Gatha in ancient times, the Vidhagama Rahula Thera who ended up as the Saint of Mumbai.

 

I am out of the country and this pieces is a reproduction 

Political Buddhists

They are the Political Buddhists in the Parliament. 

Now it is the Niragamika (No Religion) N.P.P is in power even reciting Global Mangala Sutta is banned.

National Buddhists

The National Buddhists are mainly in the Army.

International Buddhists

The better term for them is Web Based Buddhists or WebbOS. They are various international guys and girls from UK to USA to some EU countries who had gone through a meditation session (6 to 12 weeks Meditation Course) and then open up a WebPage and dish out Meditation Courses for a Fee.

The whole idea of this book was inspired (not conspired) to discourage ordinary guys and girls becoming gullible suckers, to these undesirable guys.

My tenet here is, one should have a basic understanding of Principles of Dhamma.

Number one is belief in Rebirth (it cannot be proved or disproved by scientific means) and the Mind cannot be destroyed (an entity of its own) and survives after death by re-linking (Pati-sandhi) to another being of many kinds (not only human).

The basic idea of Buddhism is to extinguish this re-linking flame or mechanism.

Meditation is one of the many mechanisms available to extinguish this desire for Rebirth.

I have several books on Buddhism in English at Amazon Books and in them I have gone into detail, especially the Mind which is my scientific interest.

Emerging Buddhists

Type 12 and above are the Emerging Buddhists from ashes (of ruined practices) of Phoenix, some of whom are already in the Parliament and devising various means to portray that Buddhism is extremely difficult to understand by the ordinary.

There is some truth to it, but exaggeration of that fact is undesirable. What they are trying to convey is only the intellectuals can benefit from Buddhism, which is not true. 

So called lesser beings are probably more amenable to the Truth of Buddhism than the more elite Emerging Buddhists.

Basic tenet of Buddhism is the vehicle for simple but practicing Buddhists.

There are of course various cults, BBS is only one of them.

Linux Update-2017

Friday, December 9, 2016
Linux Update-2017
Update on Update 
Current Peppermint that comes from U.K. is minimal, please DO NOT try.
 
I am gone exclusively to Debian 12 (I might not try version 13), it is pretty good and took about 14 minutes for full update.
 
EasyOs6.5.3 is out.
 
Enlightenment LIVE CD is impressive.
 
This is the time Linux Guys/Girls go on Christmas holidays after posting their latest version of Linux distribution.

This is the time hackers are waiting for Zombies.

This is also the time, I update my Linux distribution to the latest.

Then, I have to download all the packages I want.

It is a bit of a hassle, only because it takes time.

I have many distributions including Debian but my work horse is Peppermint (Debian and Ubuntu based but Light Weight and Independent).

May be Peppermint 5 (it does not state).

But Debian are 8 and 8.1.
It is into the 9th version.
Debian did not have a rolling distribution but recently according to Linux Magazine they are addressing this issue (L.T.S. Version which Ubuntu does a pretty good job).

I have Ubuntu but I rarely use it after the Unity Version.

I am becoming lazy and I did not want to go through the rigid rigmarole of installing a new version.

What I did was to go to Software Installation and click update all packages.

It took little over half an hour and updated all the packages including the Grub File.

I was worried, if something goes wrong I had to re-do all the work.

It removed all the redundant stuff and installed the new packages.

For the first time I got thesaurus installed (I tried before and failed) in LibreOffice.

Even Gimp was updated.

Only downside was that the Firefox / Chrome became bulky and slow.

I am soon going for Ducky Duck alternative Light Browser soon.

If you have an old Peppermint installed TRY Update option.
It is sleek and I hope other Linux distributions copy this strategy for desktop users.

It is altogether different strategy for commercial distributions.

They need L.T.S version with support.

According to Linux Magazine, Debian has finally decided to offer this option for commercial users.

Thanks guys and girls of Linux (sorry for the Microsoft users), You are way ahead of Microsoft in both Desktop and Commercial Versions.

The Linux Magazine distribution with its links with the Linux Voice (good strategy, joining hands) has dropped Maddock's feature article.

I miss it very much.

Ajahn Brahmavanso

 Ajahn Brahmavanso
 
Born 7th August, 1951 in Britain was a physicist who gave up worldly things and ordained as a monk at the age of 23 in Thailand.

His teacher was Ajahn Chah of Thailand.

He did practice meditation for 9 years in Thailand and he later emigrated to Western Australia.

He founded the Bhodhiyangana Monastery in WA and is the current chief Abbot.

He has many publication in English including a few publications at BPS in Ceylon.

He has traveled widely and has founded a Buddhist Center in Singapore.

He supports LGBT tradition as a default sex orientation on the basis of "no discrimination" (not probably on more than equal rights for American Democratic Party radicals).

He created the Concept of Kindfulness and he advocates that Mindfulness should be linked with empathy.

The word Mindfulness has become a tool of Capitalistic Copy Right and AB has been banned from using that word.

So he had to create the word Kindfulness.

He has many followers and I believe in that process of Modernization of Buddhist Cultural Schema which has guaranteed many antagonists of many varieties of Sasana (Charter of Monks in Ceylon) worldwide.

He has many YouTube presentations which have become a vogue for his followers.

In general, I am antagonistic to YouTube Culture and prefer the time tested book (including digital) publication and even encourage chatGPT to absorb reliable text material  without cultural or racial identification.

In other word "Open Source" Buddhism.

By the way, I am a Linux Guy (a philosophy based on knowledge belongs to all humanity) and I would not produce a single YouTube presentation promoting, my views.

The differences between  SBA (me) and AB (certainly not warranted on academic grounds) are not very striking but only a degree of contrast.

He was born to a scientific and academic base in UK.

I was born to an "Unscientific Ceylon" and my progress in science was through shear perseverance.

I was loaded with Buddhist Traditions as a kid which I cleverly bypassed and ended up as a medical guy.

I am open to "Free Inquiry" based on Kalama Sutta.

I am very much interested in Mind but not Meditation.

I have two books on Mind and Matter in which I have discussed Mind Altering Drugs and MK-Ultra experiments, including telepathy (guys and girls who possessed that ability).

I must dish out an eternal truth.

There are more dictionary words in psychology than the combined dictionary words of philosophy, physics and science.

I have the freedom and liberty to take religion out of this calculation.

I am not worried about the meaning of any given word but I am really interested in the true definition of a given parameter, at least in 3 dimensions.

Please give me the absolute definition of the following words in physics.

Chaos
Space
Entropy
Expansion of Space Dimension
Contraction in Space Dimension
Fluidity
Plasticity
Plasma
Crystal
Gravity


I am bit ambivalent on NDE or Near Death Experience.

I have a nice saying assuming Rebirth is a viable scenario.

At the time of Death, there is a transient period of lucidity in which the guy or girl has a glimpse of "What Next" experience or Vision.

The guy who sees the Hell or Niraya gets terrified and hang on to the Ventilator Eternally (Last Will or Last Grasp) and the doctors in the private sector should keep them alive, so his or her savings are drained off to the bottom of the pit.

In my experience, at Death Bed, I have not seen a guy or girl who "Lets Go Life with a Smile".

They are terrified!

Lucky guys kick the bucket before they arrive in hospital (I mean the terminally ill).

Gati Nimitta   is the glimpse of the next life.

Chuti is the "Let Go" scenario.
 
Janaka Kamma
 
Jati (life), Jara (decay) and Bhava (being but not a soul).
 
Soul concept does not apply to Buddhism, but Being in the present tense is a realistic connotation.

In other words, no being can be in the past tense (it is gone) or in the future tense (not yet come).

However, past births and a future birth are implied.

Rarely some individuals can revisit the past life with vague fragments of events and episodes and their Scientific Verification is very difficult.


New Physics

My current interest is "New Physics" which deals with Dark Matter and Dark Energy.

Vaguely interested in Aliens but strongly detest their interference with mankind, if they are already here and becoming a pain in the arxxcc.

Must pack them back to their base
.

There is already population explosion on this planet and we do not need alien invasion.

I do not want an alien to tell me how and what I should become.

I am Strongly antagonistic to Steven Greer antics. 

He has become a play actor of CIA tracks and trends.

What I mean is leading us the garden path of not truth away from true emancipation.

There is no artificial deliverance.
 
Strive hard with diligence is the Buddhist Way.

One is the saviour or the destructor of oneself.
 
There is no third party including aliens.

Dhammpada is the essence of Buddhist Teaching.

Doctor not in Attendance

Let me thank Google for it's help in grammar and spelling.
Most likely Artificial Intelligence in practice but still I cannot use AbiWord in my cellphone, hence I will never undertake to write a book on my cellphone.

But blog pieces would continue randomly.

This is one of them.

I stopped diagnosing cases at the age of 50 years but continued to teach until 65.

I am going to stop talking about Linux when I finish editing "Linux Essentials" and finally publish it as a print edition not digital.

If I do a digital edition, AI or some smart guys might take pieces from it an plagiarize the contents.

There are only about 600 known types of cancers.

They all manifest as a result of breakdown in our natural defense system.

If one lives up to 90 one invariably ends up with a cancer.
 
So kicking the bucket at 80s is welcome.

Some cancers manifest in multistage and my proposal for diagnosticians is to detect them in pre-clinical stage where mitigating the untoward effects are feasible
 
If it is left up to the stage of unremitting exponential cell division stage, the outcome is universally bad.

Let me dish out the cases, I saw and in effect, I may have helped the victims.
 
I suppose, I did not make a big impact.

Not in a chronological order but in a narrative sense.

I was about to leave for United Kingdom and one day I saw a case of leukaemia in a boy under 7. 
This was a son of a young M.R.C.P. consultant. 
I was well read.
The father approached me and asked me about the prognosis.
I said good and bad.
 
I said, if you stay in Ceylon it is bad.
But if you go to United States (not United Kingdom, which was way behind in my time), it is good.

How come?

One can do a bone marrow transplant there.
But the bone marrow transplant does not cover the spinal deposits, one should quickly do a spinal irradiation in Ceylon before progressing to USA.
 
He did and the guy ended up as a doctor and probably a good a doctor in practice.

While on spinal deposits, I saw a case of Unusual Tonsillitis in UK who used to get admitted with febrile convulsions.  
I made a distinct note that this child should be followed up. 
Unfortunately, I did not see him first time round in which case he would have been under my follow up list.

I generally do a thorough examination even in a case of simple tonsillitis.

The usual procedure for tonsillitis is 10 days of antibiotics and thereafter the case is referred back to the GP.
 
This mother had known my instructions and had gone and sort second opinion under a different consultant bypassing my boss who was a very smart lady.
 
This boy had a lymphoma of the tonsils with secondaries in brain (too late). The febrile convulsions were atypical, probably due to leukamic cells entering the C.S.F.
 
Staining of the spinal fluid discovered the lymphoma cells

She (my consultant), blasted everybody except me.

Then I saw a case of red cell leukaemia (confirmed by special staining) and my boss 40 years a Pathologist  in service had not seen one.
 
She said you are a lucky guy to see one, very early in your life.

I wanted to do haematology in UK and I did a locum for a Ceylonese consultant in haematology but he did not offer me the Registrar Post under him. 
He gave a flimsy reason. 
I made it a point to blast him in our Ceylonese Doctors Get Together, saying guys like You are the ones who ruin prospects of Ceylonese Doctors in UK. 
 
He was a bum sucker to British guys
 
I told him I would not last even 5 years in UK and the very reason is guys like you.

Then I made two rare diagnosis in UK.

One was rhabdomyosarcoma in a baby who died within two days.

The other was a rare case of leukaemia       (I forget what type it was) in another baby born dead. 

I collected the Umbilical Blood and send it to London Research Laboratory
 
They, while thanking me for sending the specimen of blood, posted a return of post final diagnosis slip, for my perusal.

I would now, go to the last case, many years later.
Bus conductor approached me and asked me what was the diagnosis of his daughter, under 12 years of age. 
I said I do not do any diagnosis at all but asked why did he send his child to Dental School?
He said something which I cannot remember but I promised him to look into the case. 
So, I asked for the slide  and instantly made the diagnosis of Eosinophilic Granuloma which is rare, which I haven't seen before. 
 
The prognosis at best was only two years and I had to tell him, so.
Take her home do not tell her the diagnosis but treat her like an angle, so that she will have a good life next time round. 
 
Do lot of Buddhist Dhana and spiritual stuff was my prescription.

He did tell me that she lived only two years and she had a reasonable good quality life.

One can understand why I have become non practicing doctor, in my twilight years.

It is easy for us to break the bad news but the near and dear ones have to live with the pain. 

Then I had one of my teachers who had to go through 3 painful episodes his son, his wife and he himself (he lived up to 80) having nasty cancers. 
He had nobody to talk to, and rang me one day which was not normal.
 
I promptly said go to UK immediately, which he did but please do not bother to find me since. I may not be in Ceylon.

When I inquired before leaving Ceylon I was told he passed away peacefully in UK.

Then there was another guy who descended from Indian Chetty clan but bit head strong
 
He was many years senior.
When I saw his erratic behavior, I had very private conversation with him and asked him to seek proper medical advice which he did not. He was diabetic and attributed it to his diabetes. Besides, he was reluctant to go for Hemilente.
By the way, his wife was a pathologist and a gossip king.
He adds insult to injury.
 
I got to know two years after his death that he died of Gall Bladder cancer. 
 
I can distinctly remember telling him not to eat beef but he continued to do so. 
 
There is a high risk of cancers on those who regularly eat beef.

Then there was another case, I was asking another Christian family in New Zealand to stop eating beef.
 
I said if not your wife might get problem with her knees.
 
She did have problem with one of her knees and they did come to see me in Ceylon for a brief consultation

We had a nice meal at Bahirawa Kanda Hotel
 
She is doing OK but she is home bound
 
Their 3 daughters are doing well in New Zealand. 
None of them in medicine which I discouraged point blank.
I promised to give them a call once I reach Australia but sure enough, I forgot to bring my telephone address book.
Both the original and the copy were left safely in Ceylon. 

I have no inclination to go to Ceylon and fetch the note book..
 
Perhaps we may see them again in our next life. 
 
They are Christians who may end up in heaven.
 
Good Souls.
 
I think some of these cases, I have stated have "Rebirth Connotations".
That is my firm belief.

Besides, I need to see our dog who is probably in heaven.

This piece should be read in a story like fashion or in a narrative sense but not (in medical parlance) as a medical text.

Belief in Rebirth is a good ploy to tamper down inborn depression tendency in old age.
I was looking for Clinical Pharmacology and Davidson's Medicine for over 10 years and I could not.
They were pretty good.
I gave them away free and probably ended up as "Kadala Gotu".
I did not have the wisdom to keep them with me, believing that never books would be more up to date.
Not so.
I did have a copies of Celobe Medicine and Harrions. I donated them to the Medical Library as reference copies. 
To my astonishment, they too were discarded from the Library by the Library Staff.
However, I kept all my Linux books with me.
There is nobody to give them and Redhat and Suse Linux (corporate giants) have disconnected publishing books.
Linux Bible is with me.
