Right Constitution

Right Constitution

1.Scientific outlook comes first.

2. Rules of law and fair play and Justice to all living beings (Plants and Animals) is second.

3. Democracy as a force and the tolerance to diverse views is the third.

4.Universal suffrage without bondage, dogma and external powers influencing (encourage the internal powers of the mind) the decision making, is the fourth.

5. Religion has no place or should reign below the above four pillars.

If an individual has a certain conviction for solace, be that be so, but he/she should tolerate views of the others including, especially those who want not to be bound by any religious dogma.

Tribal System and Nature

Tribal System and Nature

A better modern term is cult often visible in expression.

What it brings out is division.

In our set up, it is the division seen in the attitude and behavior of the village against the city folks.

It is seen in the dress and vocabulary of the village and the city.

The politics of Ceylon is very divisive and helps to bring out the above division of the city and the village (labour force from village and the financial power of the city).

My present discussion (Mind Power) is not political in nature even though, I wish people to divorce themselves from divisive politics and form a political third force and identify problems and current available solutions (not what is dished out by politicians).

My observation is none of them have a clue (politicians in particular and an average citizen in trouble waters, in general) except grabbing power by what ever the means (Cast, Creed, Religion, Race, Sovereignty or any real or imagined divisions) available.

Unfortunately this division has filtered into higher dimension of our mind culture.

Let me be clear from the outset, I am one who believes that one does not need a religion to be a mindful citizen.

Everybody has the potential but deprived of this inner potential by careful brain washing or indifference (from childhood).

Children are deceived into a belief system with no escape.

I do not wish to use the word spiritualism, since it corners one into the rigid belief system from folklore to messiah to self claimed gurus or teachers.

There were mind control techniques developed by secret services of both America an Russia and they were disbanded quickly since they discovered more potential than what they needed for political purposes (such as remote viewing for spying and political assassinations).

  

Of course the guys / girls who came out of these institutions / associations after the disbanding branched out to commercially viable methods / instruments for clandestine operations.

In the process of commercialization ancient wisdom was uprooted from its original tenets and was labeled as obscure cults (division again) not within the reach of the average guys and girls.

Unfortunately, I believe even current Dalai Lama has fallen to this trap of commercialization of goodwill.

Mind power is enormous if correctly used.

It can be devastating to.

The polarity of mind power is from compassion to hate in a few seconds.

  

Our base instinct is ill will, anger and hate.

It does not need any fuel for an instant outburst.

Look at our current politicians from East to West.

Their driving force is hate, the base rate or currency.

What is the antidote?

Metta (Meditation in particular)!.

Easy to say but difficult to practice.

Five minutes of time, arising from sleep and five minutes before going to bed.

Small investment with great benefit.

Better do it when watering your indoor or outdoor plant.

To your own surprise, they will bloom even out of season.

Get your loved one to practice this with or without your presence.

Unfortunately most religions are exclusive (never inclusive) and divisive in nature.

There is no way of integration but dissociation in mind training by bringing various dogmas.

Instead of subtle mind control what we need is to initiate a global program of completely removing dogmatic insinuation be that it is political or religious or social.

  

The mankind has never seen this need even though we have a institution called United Nation.

In the face not having a proper word with integration implied, I call this the emancipation of mankind, instead of freedom (rightly or wrongly overused and abused).

We need to start at some point, instead of calling this as the “New Age” without compromises.

There is nothing new but old dogmas in different shape and dress.

I call it the “shape shifting”.

There is lot to home in, instead of Religious (bogus) and Politics of Meritocracy

There is lot to home in, instead of Religious (bogus) and Politics of Meritocracy

This is a prelude to my winding up operation in the Web which was long overdue (planning from 2015)

I read an article on Aniddha Weekly Paper, from a guy who was with me in the campus but never met face to face repenting on political vacuum, they themselves have created

He was probably in prison, I do not know.

There is lot to home in this country leave alone “Global Warming” for a second.

1. Number one is plight of our majestic elephants.

They roamed freely in this island 5000 years before the settlers came in, to exterminate the prehistoric man and start the elephant trade.

Elephants are not meant to be paraded on streets.

Be political on that issue.

They are herd creatures with great maternal instinct.

They are not loners like squirrels to be tied to a tree and treated with toddy by the mahout.

 Previous regime of Ma Ra almost decimated our elephants (200 a year for 10 years) and is still going on.

2. Number two is make your environment “Bird Friendly”.

Any Buddhist who have a cat at home is a hypocrite.

Cats’ nature is to feed on animals (squirrels included) even well fed.

In Australia, they decimate birds in millions.

Grow some tall fruit trees where cats cannot reach.

The extinction of birds is a direct result of cats and their venturing into human space for food.

Do not feed them.

3. Thirds is more relevant.

Our cesspit is the breeding ground for mosquitoes.

We breed mosquitoes on daily basis.

Close the commode after use, so that they cannot lay eggs.

Fix a mosquito net on air exit drain pipe with a rubber band to prevent mosquitoes exiting.

Better still grow some lilies (instead of vandalizing them from natural ponds) and rear some guppy fish.

The dengue drive is a political gimmick to cover up mistakes by doctors.

Everybody who dies of misadventure is labeled as a dengue case without valid proof.

4. Plant a tree on your birthday and look after it for life instead of bringing a terrorist to life.

We have reached and gone above the population saturation that this planet can hold.

Consider every newborn above the population saturation as a potential terrorist. 

The list can go on.

Assertiveness to Combativeness to Politics to Anarchy

Assertiveness to Combativeness to Politics to Anarchy

Longtime ago, I had a conversation with a doctor who was conducting Open TV program with an eminent Sinhala media man.

There was nothing elementary in this program except promoting self image of both, if not one.

I have gone to collect a medical certificate.

I felt there was something amiss in this program (should have been conducted by alternative sources) and asked him his objective.

Without batting an eyelid he said: “We Buddhists got to be assertive”.

For what purpose he never told me and I never asked.

This was long time before I delved academically into raw Buddhist concepts.

My first entry into print form and later to digital form was to do a meritorious act on my mother’s behalf who passed away.

The rest is history and I have over thousand (mainly promoting Linux) blog posts (currently winding down due to typing errors, dogmatic mistakes and the shear vulgarity of the contents).

Linux is free software and has similar vision to Buddhist outlook.

The greatest gift is the gift of Dhamma!

 

Coming back to combativeness, Buddha was requested for a successor in his death bed and he cleverly declined and said that let; “Dhamma be the guiding principle” or the Successor.

 

He had foreseen the future combative and political nature of religious activities globally and that is what we are today.

 

He did not want his teaching to be assertive, combative, divisive but humanistic and globally acceptable not by force but by wisdom.

 

Now let’s see how its influence in this small country.

 

First J.V.P.

 

Second L.T.T.E.

 

Third Religious Mafiosi!

 

Of course anarchy has really set in and there is no escape route.
