How to Evade Judgments and Descent

How to Evade Judgments and Descent

This should be read in conjunction with “How to Evade Dogmas” below.

Of course one should ignore typos and grammar (not my specialty, anyway) and head for the impact or core issues.

In the evolutionary chain from aphids, to ladybirds to birds of prey, we humans are the biggest parasite (I wish to call them, alien visitors to this planet from outer space) on this planet.

So our judgments are based on this basic human desire, I come first (Trump Syndrome of Americanism or White Supremacy to prey on undesirable female species, animals included)

We are judgmental in every aspect from, sex to food to what we wear as head gear or cover our vital parts or the “Jungi” in our terms.

I decided to wear all blue Jungies during the previous regime as an internalized protest and I have changed to green Jungies after central bank (my cheques stolen in transit, in broad daylight of emancipation to steal or become a parasite of big dimension) debacle.

To be non-judgmental one has to become an atheist (that itself is judgmental) since all regions are judgmental on either merit or demerit scale or rebirth tendencies in future life.

Moment one becomes judgmental one becomes a scapegoat for more dogmas and enslaved from birth to grave to nest birth for good.

Then we fail to live this moment of truth, I become a slave of somebody else.

The biggest slave is the economic slave.

It is to the multinational banks or to the local bank.

I am trapped with credit cards from 1980s and I will die with a big default is my dogma and many others of my age.

However all above 55 years in this country are treated as scoundrels (they should be, they did sweet little when productive to change the working life of fellow beings).

See how dogmas go from good to bad in no time (if not in a lifetime).

If one judges ones fellow beings by color, the language one speaks and behavior in public (politicians in front of TV cameras edited fully) and religion we lay foundation for the basic parasitic nature in our genes, which the good old gods fail to rectify from the very beginning.

Why create problems to all fellow gods in heaven (one to millions in India according to my Indian friends)?

So there is no way of escaping judgmental nature.

I have found a very difficult solution and it is called “Upeksha’ or equanimity.

Easy to say but hard to practice.

Try training kids to be non-judgmental from birth (females are at a disadvantage at birth, in this country) but with year five examination and school entry big lies, we have over the past 45 years trained liars from Church to Temples, to Mosques to school principals to parents and kids.

There is no escape route and it perpetuates discordance of grand scale.

No one can die in peace in this country.

They are born culprits of the present state of affairs from S.W.R.D. to J.R. to J.V.P. to L.T.T.E.

How to Evade Dogmas

It is very difficult to evade, Dogmas (my definition is embedded lies), be that it is old or new.

Only way to avoid dogmas (dogmata) is not to have any.

If one has a dogma A against the Dogma B there are multiple ways one gets embedded in the dogma not realizing one is entangled, within.

Read Brahmajala Sutta, there are 62 variants and I believe none is true.

If dogma A is true one has to assimilate points supporting or basic tenets within it.

There is an element of belief that the dogma A is correct.

Belief has no scientific validity until it is approaching 40% of validity (ideally 60%).

There is no belief scientific or otherwise which has 100% validity.

Often beliefs falls below my cut of point 30% often it is less than 5%.

Then one has to identify the arguments falsifying the dogma B.

Suppose dogma B is correct and dogma A is wrong.

This is why I call dogma (lie) gets embedded in another circular lie or dogma.

One can apply this argument to existence of god (one dogma) or existence of alien life on mars (dogma B).

I leave you to do one’s own homework on the above and delve a bit on Buddhist tenets.

Buddhism is based on two basic tenets.

Number one is Kamma.

Number two is Beings in Samsara.

There are many other variants based on these two dogmas.

Neither of the above can be proved beyond doubt.

So they remain as dogmas.

This is true for other religions, too.

That is why I say it is safer to have no dogmas.

Do not ponder on the past.

Do not wonder about the future.

What we have is this moment of existence.

Enjoy it to the best without pondering on embedded dogmas.

What we have is this moment of happiness (Somanassa) so do not get into Domanassa Mood by delving on dogmas.

Three Ladybirds in one

Most of it is reproduction but my comments are copyrighted, by American standards!

Three Ladybirds in one.

I did not know ladybirds have telepathic abilities.They warned me not to buy insecticides, indirectly.

I was asked by my wife to bring an aphicide (antcide to be true) by the name of Massack.

The other day I could not find it at Kheel’s supermarket.

They had rearranged the shelves and made it a mess.

In fact, I told one of the managers that they should rearrange the shelves and make it a mess, so that like our politicians our customers get confused when shopping and the hubby forgets the list that the wife had given and buys the taste for the tot he is (it is at the end of the list) intending to buy from little saving made in supermarkets, nowadays.

I, of course stopped, a tot by default (including in chocolates) after the price hike that supersedes and super added taxes on top of it.

That is not the TOP story.

I have not seen a ladybird for (I hate the term lady bugs-see underneath-animal rights violation) ages.

Last time we saw ladybirds were in New Zealand jungles, many moons ago. Agricos in New Zealand had decimated wild life including Kiwis.

The Kiwi fruit is from China (not their creation by New Zealanders).

I saw three ladybirds of local variety (not the red brown variety) on the hair (ponytail) of a Tamil girl (my guess Batticoloa not Jaffna).

I could guess the accent, during my tenure in the university, not too loud in the Campus bus.

So MS for all worths helping the Tamils in Batti and Jaffna with aphids and ladybirds.

Long live banning of Monasanto in Ceylon, in Metta Meditation in flight, but I told my wife Massak has not labeled the ingredients violating the local law on insecticide and it probably has glyphosate base which causes cancer.

I love glyposate ban but my rooftop garden has no ladies or lady bugs.

Monsanto Loses Roundup Cancer Trial

A San Francisco jury returned a verdict today in the case of a former groundskeeper with terminal cancer against Monsanto Company, ordering the agrochemical giant to pay $39.2 million in compensatory damages and $250 million in punitive damages for failing to warn consumers that exposure to Roundup weed killer causes cancer.
Dewayne “Lee” Johnson filed the lawsuit (case no. CGC-16-550128) against St. Louis-based Monsanto Co. on Jan. 28, 2016, alleging exposure to the Roundup herbicide he sprayed while working as a groundskeeper for the Benicia Unified School District caused him to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
On June 18, 2018, his case was assigned to Judge Suzanne Ramos Bolanos for the Superior Court of San Francisco, California. Johnson’s case was the first of its kind to proceed to trial due to his terminal diagnosis. After eight weeks of trial proceedings, the jury found unanimously that Monsanto’s glyphosate-based Roundup weed killer caused Mr. Johnson to develop NHL, and that Monsanto failed to warn of this severe health hazard. Importantly, the jury also found that Monsanto acted with malice, oppression or fraud and should be punished for its conduct.
Monsanto was found liable in a lawsuit and ordered to pay $289 million in damages to a man who alleged the company's glyphosate-based weed-killers, including Roundup, caused him cancer.
A California jury on Friday found Monsanto liable in a lawsuit filed by a man who alleged the company's glyphosate-based weed-killers, including Roundup, caused him cancer and ordered the company to pay $289 million in damages.
The case of school groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson was the first lawsuit alleging glyphosate causes cancer to go to trial. Monsanto, a unit of Bayer AG following a $62.5 billion acquisition by the German conglomerate, faces more than 5,000 similar lawsuits across the United States.
The jury at San Francisco's Superior Court of California deliberated for three days before finding that Monsanto had failed to warn Johnson and other consumers of the cancer risks posed by its weed killers.
It awarded $39 million in compensatory and $250 million in punitive damages.

Lady beetles are voracious aphid feeders and an adult beetle will eat 50 or more aphids a day. The convergent lady beetle, which is the species sold for release, feeds almost entirely on aphids and will not remain on plants with low aphid populations and will not control other garden pests.

The sticky honeydew is a favorite of ants, who act like mini-farmers and protect the aphids from predators (such as ladybugs). Often gardeners think the ants eat plants, but really the ants are busy taking care of their “herd” and using the “milk” for food.

Nothing says spring like a rosebush full of aphids, an insect with an amazingly complex life-cycle. Eggs laid by adults overwinter on plants and batches of mostly female aphids hatch in spring and summer. These females eat and grow (sucking plant sap and producing sticky honeydew) and then give birth to live, wingless young, a process also known as cloning! (At this stage of the game, there is no need for males in the mix). As the population explodes, the aphids begin to run out of food, so the female aphids next give birth to live, winged males and females who fly off to newer “pastures” to begin the task of overpopulating an area all over again.
The sticky honeydew is a favorite of ants, who act like mini-farmers and protect the aphids from predators (such as ladybugs). Often gardeners think the ants eat plants, but really the ants are busy taking care of their “herd” and using the “milk” for food. You can get rid of ants by using a sticky product called “tanglefoot” and applying it as directed. The ants get trapped or can’t go around the barrier to get to the aphids. This leaves the aphids defenseless against predators such as ladybugs (actually beetles from the order Coleoptera) who are on the lookout for a tasty meal. Ladybugs are more correctly called ladybird beetles or lady beetles, but the name ladybug is most commonly used. To learn more about other insects in this order, visit the coleoptera webpage,
Ladybugs lay their eggs on plants near aphids and other food sources like mites. Ladybug larvae are pretty interesting looking, almost like mini-alligators, and just as voracious! I took a photo of this little guy on a picnic bench just today. When this baby hatched it was smaller than a pinhead! You can barely see them with a hand lens.
Hatched larva eat tiny critters like mites until they are big enough to eat aphids. If you’re reading along and wondering why I write “larva” sometimes and “larvae” at others it’s because one is singular (larvae) and the other plural (larva) although even I get confused while I’m typing at times, especially late at night.
The larva eat and eat and get bigger and bigger.
Here’s a photo of a ladybug larva that has been chowing down and gotten much larger. I try to be careful when photographing them. The tiny ones shouldn’t be handled because they get squished easily. The larger ones can sometimes be convinced to climb onto a finger and are easier to handle. I’ve noticed that they bite, although I would call it more of a “nip” if you will, sort of like a little pinch.
It also seems like they emit an orange substance when disturbed, although I haven’t been able to find information about this anywhere. In nature, ladybugs are avoided by most predators, apparently because they taste terrible. Although I’m sure most birds or other predators eat at least one before they find out!

Ladybug larva

It’s truly incredible how a creature too small to see with the naked eye gets to be a nice-sized ladybug. One ladybug larvae can eat 300-400 aphids before it’s ready to pupate. After this huge smorgasbord, the larvae attaches itself to a leaf and then appears to “rest” for a few days. During this stage, it undergoes metamorphosis, an amazing process in which the insect completely transforms. The outside turns orange with black spots, and eventually the skin splits to reveal a brand new ladybug. It will look soft and pale for several hours until the outside wings dry and harden. As the shells hardens, it gets darker and turns to a beautiful, shiny red color.
There are different types of ladybugs, some with many spots and others with none. The shades of red also vary. This Ladybug Classification webpage can tell you more. The most common type of ladybird beetle is the convergent ladybug, which is pictured in this blog.
Want ladybugs in your garden?
Plant crops that attract aphids. Some suggestions are plants in the cabbage family (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower) or roses. The photos of adult ladybird beetles, larva and pupae were taken of the beetles among fava beans. I imagine it’s a great crop/place to overwinter during both winter and spring.
It was definitely an “all-you-can-eat” buffet for the beetles!
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to get rid of all the aphids in your garden and have a pest-free environment. Which makes sense when you think about it, because if your garden is pest-free, what will the ladybugs eat? To reduce large numbers of aphids, you can spray them with a gentle stream of water, which will knock them off and kill many. Or you can use a horticultural oil or soap. Just remember that although these products are labeled “non-toxic” or “safer” they will also kill beneficial insects like ladybugs and bees. These products can also harm plants if applied when temperatures are over 80 degrees. Read the label and use correctly.
If you’ve never seen ladybug larva or pupa in your garden, get outside immediately and go look! Now that you’ve seen a photo of them, they’ll be much easier to spot. Happy hunting!
