Political Suicide of Ceylon

This piece is in evolution.
Sri-Lankan electorate is basically STUPID but the problem is the citizen does not want to accept he or she is STUPID.
 
That stupidy is giving NPP/JVP combo, two third majority, who neither have the political agenda nor maturity to bring back our economy to a sustainable footing.

I am almost a apolitical guy now but was a political animal of yesteryear.

1. I was involved in ousting Sirimavo.

2. But when I realized bringing in JRJ was a big mistake I got activated again and involved in bringing in changes to the constitution. 

3. We did not get anything out of Chandrika after much expectations.
She lacked direction and totally absent minded.

4. I believed that Mahinda Rajapaksa would retire as political hero after his success over LTTE but his regime became a typical nepotistic administration. 

All these guys went bonkers only in their second term.

5. We got him out but I had no regard for Ranil and Maithrie Combo. 
They showed their political dichotomy and incompetence. 
They were only interested in exercising their political power.

6. Out of these guys worse is RW.
He was a dictator as much as JRJ but he covered up his dictatorial character with some artificial political charisma.

Most of his legislatures were to control free media and free speech.
His public but not secretive  alliance with Anura was to hoodwink him in mid term and come to power as a saviour.

7. But the biggest problem is when these powers are given to amateurs with one party mentality they go violently bonkers.

That is what has happened and the stupid electorate does not understand.

They want stay in power for 25 years even without doing sweet nothing to the majority of the voters. 
 
Their priority is their party and their single party politics.

No room for alternative opinions or democratic values.

Only Kalum Jayasumana and Sepala Amarasinghe have understood our political predicament.

We are heading for a political catastrophe due to STUPIDITY of our average citizen believing JVP/NPP Combo.

We are heading for an unexpected dictatorship.
They will reinact what JRJ and RW did when they were in power.
What UNP did now NPP/JVP is repeating.

Only Wimal Weera Wansa can take a toll on these issues.

Any waiting is a political suicide.
They should be ousted within two years just like what they did to Gotabaya.

They say history repeats.

OpeSuse-15.6 Leap and Tumbleweed

OpenSuses 15.6 Leap

Yes, I did install OpenSuse 15.6 Leap on my NUC.

I used Gnome Desktop.

It was bit of long process.

Only Reason, I did was it allowed me to select Gnome at install time. 

Last time Tumbleweed took over the hard disk. This time I used Ext4 instead of Btrfs using expert option.

Used Plasma 6 option and to see the games available.

Gnome took almost 5GB but Plasma only 4.5GB which was bit of surprise.

This time I was careful in my installation.Installation is on administrator level and one should make sure to click the administrator level option. If you did not select this option you may not be able to install it. It is at root level which is not a good option.

Immediately after installation, I selected a User level which was bonobo an African monkey.

It did not destroy my GRUB boot loader.

I could not install Synaptic Package manager which was not to my liking and I have to Go To Suse repository and the packages are in rpm which I hate.

I would try SOFTWARE and install AbiWord to begin. 

A report will follow after a cup of tea and opening a file in AbiWord. 

AbiWord was a rpm package and I managed to install it with my previous experience with Suse.

Audacious was installed using binaries.

Stacer is not available.

Rest of the packages I am going to install using Suse Package installer which include Audacity, Kdenlive and VLC.

Scribus, Inkscape and Blender all installed.

No Gdebi and no other browsers like Opera or Vivaldi but I got Epiphany and Falkon and no Dillo.

Using Gnome got Gparted, too. 

No little games. 

With all that I have used less than 10GB of DATA and I have 12GB left out 22GB for other installations.

Blender and Xournal (Texlive) took a lot space.

Summary

It took a long time to update 573 packages but after that everything went smoothly.

It is only in install version and not a live session which wastes, lot of my time.

Installing a distribution in Box utility is a pain. 

This is true for Fedora with the exception of the image is very small and hardly any applications in the system. However Fedora has many versions and selecting one is a pain.

It is the last version before the new immutable version of Suse.

It is one year old and it was released in June 2024.

It is in Qt5 version and new Qt which is Qt6. 

It is running 573 new updates on packages.

This for me to write a few line in my book "Linux Essentials" coming soon in Amazon books.

I cannot install an old kernel of Debian to coexist with Trixie and this (Suse) is the nearest I could keep to the old times.

It cannot write a Linux image to a USB.

 Overall the experience was not bad but brought the nostalgia of using Linux 20 years ago when they were not proprietary.

Whatever the distribution Linux never failed me.

I am not a fan of immutable software and that is why I gave up Gnoppix. 

AI installer drives me NUTS even though I use AI for looking for the correct definition when writing on a new topic which is better than Wikipedia.


Ragata-OS of Suse

Ragata-OS of Suse
Ragata messed up with my GRUB file.
It is designed for single use.
It had Only Office and with /root partition full I could not get audacity installed but I got Stacer installed.
It has GIMP and VLC.
In any case, I have decided to use the DVD1 of Debian 13 to install it over the testing image to get a clean install.
I already done it with my regular distribution with / home partition intact.
There are thousands of new applications and I am going to install most of them for testing.
I got one regular KDE of Ragata and modified KDE of Netrunner.
YES, I am fair to both 50% Gnome and 50% KDE (which I hate) due to its inordinate bulkiness.
However, I prefer Netrunner with Synaptic Package Manager.

 

Yes, I decided to Install Ragata OS on top of my MX Linux and it wanted 1 GB of EFI boot partition.

Well I had only 532MB.
 
I used to boot Puppy Linux and Knoppix on a 2GB hard drive and this simply megalomania coming probably from Donald Trump.
 
This was not a big deal, I deleted /boot and /root partitions and added 1.2GB for EFI.
I had 22GB for the root which is good enough and made my /boot partition 600MB.
Kept my /home partition intact with all data, files and iso images.
This is in preparation for installing Ragata which is again a Linux distribution which specializes on Games.
 
I hate to go back to Red Hat.
Thank YOU Ragata developers for reminding me of the latest EFI needs.
IGB minimum.
 
By the way, I begin to hate XFCE desktop.
I did not use it but selected Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE and MATE.

Linux Games I Love to Play

 

Linux Games I Love to Play

Linux Gamers Live, the Arch derivative is top of my list and Linux Ultimate Edition is close second and Knoppix 2008 December edition comes third and I could not find a new version of games in spite of Knoppix 6.7 was out and looks fantastic.

Knoppix cannot be installed on hard drive.
Why I choose Linux Gamers Live was simply because its front-end just looks like Apple front-end and ready for games with icons instead of names.
It also can be installed into hard disk now.


Now instead of trying to outscore these three edition which I have done a lot for Linus games, I will list my favorites below.

Even PCLinuxFuillMonty though, they have place for Linux guys and girls.
I

ndirectly FullMonty comes fourth.

1. Number one is Super Tux 2 and I enjoyed playing hours and hours.
2. Close second is Pingus and its environmental theme is commendable.
3. Number three is Extreme Tux Racer which is sweet and relaxing
4. Number 4 is SuperTuxCart (this is for the racing addict)
5. Number 5 is Tuxcart (This is for the training on racing)
6. Number 6 is Frozen Bubble
7. Number 7 is any of the 100 of tiny games
If any of the Linux distributions fail to introduce any of the top 5 of mine selection I thought of giving them minus marks in my rating in future.
 

Mind you with Wine and getedit one can play Windows , DOS and Atari games of the yesteryear.

Manjaro Linux-Update

 

The Latest Version is Superb!

1. WiFi configuration is smooth unlike BlueStar Linux.

2. Installation is smooth 

3. GRUB is OK but as with All ARCH derivatives they cannot coexist with other operation. But have found a way and i would describe the methods in my book "Linux Essentials".

4. It is stable.

5. As with Reborn OS can install other desktops but I only tried Plasma and it is stunningly Beautiful.

6. It is the Only distribution that allows me to install Brave Browser in Graphic mode.

 I do not use Terminal at all but I have found a very good terminal called Ranger.

7. Stacer is missing in all but 13 series Debian but there is more efficient System Analyzer. I like Stacer again recuse it has a very beautiful Graphic Interface. which I miss.

Yes, it not the principle of Linux to duplicate applications.

8. Having said that even though, I am a Firefox convert I promote all other browsers.

9. Do not forget Epiphany and Frozen Bubble. only two gamer utilities i use. But I miss many of the old ones  Tux, Tux Racer and Tux cart.

10. Do not forget Catchy OS which has its own browser.

I have now 10 in total including Epiphany of Gnome. 

Having at least two browsers is very important to a guy like me who is a Multitask Guy.

That is the beauty of Linux.

Please note this (my) comment all developer guys and girls.

Thank YOU all of YOU including LinuxTracker for providing readily available images.

 

Manjaro Linux 

Thank YOU Manjaro Developer Girls and Boys. 

After long lay off I installed Manjaro and it is pretty good. 

This is posting from Manjaro instance. 

I used to use Gnome Software for installing additional packages.

Gnome Software is taken as an application and it has a limit for its application install. I do not like flatpak which is bulky and Gnome Software has a common library. I could not Install GIMP. I could not install Gnome Box.

But Manjaro Software let me install Box as flatpac.

My advice is use ONLY Manjaro Software.

No problem configuring my GRUG boot loader.

Manjaro is a superb distribution and my finicky Gnome behavior is the fault. 

In any case gnome is going to be a new distribution on its own and I am watching its development in the future.

I am a Debian Guy and Gnome comes on top of Gnome.

I have no intention of leaving Debian. 

 Incidentally I installed Debian 13 Testing Gnome and it's application package is fixed and I am unable install even AbiWord as an additional package.

Kolon Thota, Kolon-Wewa and Kolon Nawa

The biggest Tank or Wewa is in Horrowwa Pathana.

Next biggest is the Colombo Wewa.

It is occupied the Navaloka Hospital, Navam Mawatha, Hunupitiya and Gangaramaya during Portuguese times.


Colombo Wewa was not given to Portuguese but they were given Kalpitiya where fishing community has many Portuguese names.

Kalpitiya subsequently was used to dry fish. 

I used purchase them at Halawatha or Puttalam to be taken to Kandy


Kolon Newa means had a bath from Kolon Wewa.


I worked in Negambo for a short time.

During L.T.T.E.  upsurge Tamils from North came to buy products from Colombo. 

Guy in Karapitiya helped them.

One day a guy from Karapitiya came and paid Rs.10,000/=. I asked him to sign on the register but he did not. I knew he was LTTE guy and he could not speak in Sinhala. I told him do not come again in English and I might get landed with the police. Notes were brand new and if I remember right the water mark was missing.

I told the manager to dispose them as quickly as possible and send a word of mouth message to Prime Minister Premadasa that forge noted are coming through Karapitiya.

Police in Negambo was clueless of forged notes

I trained our staff to examine notes carefully before accepting money lest we get caught by the Bankers.

Then of course sons of Presidents started printing forge money and it was common occurrence. 

I never accepted any notes I considered forged.

Yakada Yaka

Yakada Yakka is Ravana King
Yakada = Iron
Yakka = Tribe perfected Iron Industry 
Urn = Iron Boundary
28,000 ago iron foundry was detected in Ratnapura/ Balangoda in Ceylon.
Balangoda man was 30,000 years into the past.
Grains were found in Caves.
 
These Ravana tribes were good at stone carving, too.

Lanka Deepa

Ceylon was named during Kaku Sanda Buddha as
Odja Deepa
Wara Deepa
Manda Deepa
Lanka Deepa

My Position Regarding Citizen Ranil Wickramasinghe

My Position Regarding Citizen Rani Wickramasinghe

My Position Regarding Citizen Rani Wickramasinghe is clear.

He was rejected by the general public twice and as an old man he should retire and become an ordinary citizen, again.

He is good for an ornamental political coffin or ideally a political dustbin.

Making him a hero is not good for our politics.

He did not settle any of our long standing loans but delayed payment until 2028. 

We have to pay back the loans with accrued interests which is worse than paying it now itself.

He should be treated like any other citizen and he does not deserve any special treatment at all.  

If there is a legal provision to prosecute him it should not be delayed. If there is any legal procedure against a politician it is dragged inordinately until that government is out of power. A case against Senior Premadasa came out 12 years after his death. 

So far only one minister had seved his sentence and two others went to prison. 

Ranil should be in this list if he had done punishable deeds politically or otherwise.

Along with Gaminie Lokuge, he was involved in disappearances of Students of the Peradeniya Univesity, when I was young Medical guy working in the university

seconded from the Department of Health.

Equally one of my friends Nagahawatta who was an army volunteer officer was killed by NPP/JVP guy in 1987/89 in the university and dumped into Alwis Pond. 

I was witness to the killing of our vegetable vendor in Digana village. 

He was not allowed to come to my clinic which was right across the road. A few children under my care died because they were not allowed to attend my clinic at Digana.

138 bodies were dumped into Manikhinna Hospital. They were killed because they were forced to parade against the police in Manikhinna and Digana. Our hospital team was asked to join the parade and I stopped them going there, lest they would have been among the 138. 

Police dumped several bodies for public display in Digana.

I am not defending neither police nor army. 

I did not think Airfoce guys were involved and their training seems to be different.

I was a temporary lecturer (not as officer medical officer but a teacher) in the University and I resigned from my post with two kids to feed when my friend Nagahawatta was killed. He was from the Arts Faculty.

I was without a job for six months and joined the Private sector and ended up at Navaloka Hospital. I worked for Quality Control in Hospital Management and Navaloka was awarded the National Quality award.

Incidentally, J.R.J was warded with terminal illness, I never went to see him but I signed all his reports as part of the Quality Control (there was no need for me to countersign) work.

I signed his last blood report most likely taken after his demise, and I made a "verbal comment" that this guy ought to be dead. 

Sure enough, I saw white flags when I passed Ragama railway station.

Ragama railway station, on my train journeys I have never alighted but has a special memory in my mind. A rouge guy threw a stone at the railway and it hit my forehead narrowly missing my left eye. 

Without alighting at Peradeniya, I went to Kandy station and reported this incident. I made sure this guy and several others were caught. 

Then, there was a gang of pickpockets who board from Ragama and steal things from train passengers. After six months of investigation with the help of a forensic medical guy we rounded them up. 

The number if I remember right was between 25 to 30.

In actual fact, his wrist watch was snatched by these pickpockets at the Panideniya Junction.

Regarding my injury, I went to Peradeniya hospital (the place I was trained and also worked as a teacher) for a X-ray and I was kept until midnight for the wound toilet. 

Again a shoddy job.

It took nearly three months for it to heal and the sand particles or the silica particles to come out on their own accord. Had I not taken antibiotics on my own accord (hospital did not dish out any), I could have been dead by a nasty meningitis episode.

Renukane Chanda Wimala and my boss during my internship Dr. S.S. Drahaman were hospitalized along with J.R.J. but   neither recovered from the illness. I of course, went to see Dr. Drahaman but he was desperately ill and couldn't recognize me.

Just to say, Private hospitals are no better.

This is just for Sepala to make a note why I am now in Australia but would never come home. 

I did my part today for "Australia Clean" and dumped all the rubbish where it belonged, which included recycling material.

Ceylon will never regain its glory of the time of Dudley Senanayake.

I wish not be born again in Ceylon, having seen Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi's YouTube presentation where he had to do the cooking (for his wife), which included cleaning up little fish Salaya. 

I would advice him to a take protein rich diet to regain his composure. 

He looks deficient in B Vitamins. May be related to the toddy he drinks. For his own health he should gradually stop drinking which I did over three years and totally free of alcohol now for 10 years, of course after my retirement. 

I stopped drinking since it affected my memory ( short term memory).

Cooking is far better than making a YouTube presentation to grab some money from gullible viewers.



Ravana Curse would Befall on Indians and Ceylonese who help Indians

Yes, from first of October, 2025, Ravana Curse would Befall on all Indians and Ceylonese who help Indians.
 
I would only list the Ceylonese most likely to be affected.

This will continue until Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi stops eating fish
 
In my case on medical grounds, I advice him to eat fish but stop drinking Toddy so that his Liver condition improves.
 
He should eat Niwithie and Cashew nuts to supplement Iron and Essential Fatty acids.

1. Ranil Wickramasinghe comes first for planning to sell Mihintale to United State through Indians.

2. All Ceylonese who work on Sirasa Channel 

3. All Ceylonese who works Swarnawahini which belongs to Ali Rajah Subhashwaran.
 
It belongs to a L.T.T.E. subsidiary 

4. Guys who are promoting to cell Digitization of ID cards 

5. Anura Dissanayake who signed 7 undeclared pacts with India.

6. All MPs who vote for these undesirable legislation in the parliament.

7. All MPs who wish speedy recovery for Ranil. 
Kamma forces should befall on him, for the disappearance of youth in 1988/89.

Gods and Humans

Gods and Humans
I am good in my mathematics and I could not count the 31 (4 of the Arupavatara without physical bodies need not have a world to manifest themselves, in other words Mind only beings) Gods, having referred to the Buddhist Dictionary of Reverend Nyanathiloka.

I have counted only 22 (6 in this world, 12 in fine material worlds and 4 in immaterial worlds) Gods in total.

I have 9 Gods not accounted for.

So if I add six (6 ) of the Hindu Gods in all six directions, I still get 3 more gods unaccounted for.

I think Buddhist monks are bad in mathematics.

That is not the point, I want to drive here.

Being born as a human is supreme.

Buddhas are born only in human worlds.
 
Hitler's are also born in this world.


We have both good and bad.

Buddhism does not cater for gods.
But in Kandyan Perehara there are four gods.
1. Vishnu the Hindu God
2. Paththini
3. Saman god of Adam's peak.
4. Kataragama againg a god devoted for Tamils
5. Sakka if the chief of gods
6. Vibhushana is a King turned God.
Youngest brother of Ravana and the eldest is Kuberu.
Ravana the most prominent is not revered as God. There is a deliberate attempt to suppress his name by Indian authors.


Buddha has often repeatedly said being born in a heavenly world is a waste of time and waste of good Kamma.

He also has stated those heavenly beings fall to lower realms when they die at the end and when the good Kamma expires.

So worshiping gods and trying to become a god is waste of human energy.

It is high time we act as humans and save lives of human beings involved in futile War.

I am not going to take a side in this War.

War always has a beginning but it's end is often blurred.

Very rarely we get a chance to be born as humans and if we waste that human life in War, one is most likely to be dead and be born again in hell as a demon.

Humans can become demons as well as gods in this world.

Coming back to Buddhist Cosmology;

If I count OUT, 4 of the immaterial worlds, I get 18 gods  (18 worlds), in total.
 
Not worth being in one of them.

Be human!

Rarity of Humanoids

Human beings (manussa loka)
Rebirth as a human being is extraordinarily rare.
 

The assumption here is there are only 5 types of humanoids in only five planets.

 

Sinister Attempt NOT to hoist the National Flag and recite the National Anthem

The Niragamika theme has NOW morphed NOT to hoist the National Flag and NOT to recite the National Anthem in school.
This is the action priority of the current Education Minister who did graduate in India.
This is INDIANS using its L.T.T.E. proxy to destabilize National Unity.
It started with rejecting Jaya Mangala Gatha.
 
This is the program of One Party or Communist Party propaganda.

Why I do not use a Raspberry Pie?

 Why I do not use a Raspberry Pie?

With Microchip Industry at its peak it is not worth investing on technical gadgets. 

If I am given the chance, instead of a Raspberry Pie, I would have made my Mini Computer on a Simple Keyboard  by integrating the CPU and RAM of my NUC on the keyboard base. 

Just stick the NUC circuit board and mini RAM to the keyboard. 

Instead of a TV monitor, a Liquid Crystal Display would function as my digital reader cum monitor, ideally folded into two halves.       

It is humanly possible to make, such a device and   it would be much cheaper but these Corporate Giants would never consider such a venture. 

By the way, the keyboard would be bit bigger, thicker and heavier.

The Corporate Giants target is profits.

I started with 4MB Video RAM and 128MB chip RAM to begin with. 

Full sketch of my "Globe Trotter" design would be given in my book "Linux Essentials".

Cell Cycle Events

 Cell Cycle Events 

1. Man and many advanced animals have 50 cell cycles in their life time.

2. Up to 42 cycles are used up by the age of 18 months of age.

3. About 42 to 45 are cycles are consumed by about 15 years of age.

That means for puberty 3 cycles are used up.

4. After puberty one is left with only 5 cycles.

3. There is a condition called progeria where babies are born in advanced stage of cell cycle and rapidly age and die young.

4. If we take a somatocyte from (with mutated genome) a case of this condition one can modulate few more cell cycles to be advanced by culturing under correct conditions with sexual maturation and bald head.

3 Words of Buddha, Truth, Action and Verification

 3 Words of Buddha, Truth, Action and Verification

Words of Buddha

These Three were stated in the first sermon of Buddha after attainment of Enlightenment.


That is how the Wheel of Dhamma turns.

There are many versions of this Dhamma Chakka Pavatana Suttaa unlike, Kalams Sutta, Brahmajala Sutta and Sigalovada Sutta.

Visit the account by Bhikku Bodhi of B.P.S. for details.

1. Sacca is the Knowledge about Truth or Suffering or Uncertainty of Every Living Moment 

2. Kikka (Action) is the Correct Action that one needs to take to Digest this Phenomenon 

3. Kata (Verification) is to ascertain that Truth of Suffering or Uncertainty of Every Phenomenal Existence in this World and Other Worlds.

In other words, Knowledge, Appropriate Action and the Verification of the Uncertainty Principle within Dhamma.

This is within our grasp and one need not have a Guru but use these Dhamma Principles as the Guiding Steps for True Emancipation from Indulgence in Suffering (both happy and unhappy included).

This is an antithesis to this world of excessive indulgence in sensuality and even addictive games, including gambling.

One should not gamble with life.

Live a good life of "Somanassa" on this Valentine Day.

P.S.
I do not think I have understood the Truth about the "Real Truth of Phenomenon of Existence" and this is only an introduction or an entry point for any Wisdom Wayfarer seeking Truth about our existence.
 
I am grateful to Buddhist Publication Society in Kandy where our  family doctor Dr. Dharmasena donated his clinic to the Whole World, as it were.

Tools of Wisdom

Tools of Wisdom
 
I found a book named “Words of Wisdom” and bought it without glancing through its pages.
Human error and no wisdom at all, on my part, at the time of the purchase.
I read it on my way home and could NOT find a single phrase, that excited creative part of my brain.

It was trapped in a single dogma that suggested that only the divinity has the wisdom and man is devoid of any (? sanity).

It was an appalling misjudgment of mind and its working.

I thought of writing something.
This is what I could come up with.

Mind never minds its own business but always mind its inner mysteries without proper tools of distinction.

If one can find the proper tools, not only one would open the mind to wisdom door but also free the mind from rigid dogmas that hinder its progress through this transition.

From dogma to wisdom!

Tools of Religion
Tools of Religion are based on few exclusive dogmatic interpretations, as far as the so called God is concerned.

The concept of God is the foolish creation of mankind and there was never an old god or an existing god.

I have a theory (plausible) that if ever Alien Beings visited this planet (God means coming from the sky) they were venerated as goods, by Aztecs, Mayans or in this part of the world as Hindu Gods.

Our concept of Yakku, Deva and Naga in prehistory was either the variation of the above Hindu Gods or more likely the prehistoric man (exterminated by the visitors from India) who were sent into oblivion by the visitors.

Religion was created to allay fear for the unknown, leave alone the fear of death.
 
It is strange that religion itself creates fear among its followers.

A strange PARADOX of all.

Coming to the tools of religion please note the following expressions.
 
1. Fear for the unknown and the need for a universal protector gave way to the origin of faith and an almighty!

2. Intolerance (of other gods or religions even by killing)

3. Exclusiveness (either forced conscription like terrorists or cruel punishment to the outsiders)

4. Cruelty (sword at the beginning, now bombs including Nuclear)

5. Punishment (Stoning to begin with and later by laws of extremes)

6. Blind Allegiance (one cannot apply the 13 or so qualifications of Kalama Sutta)

7. Dogmatism (scripts are always sacred be that it is Bible or Quran)

8. Faulty analysis of what is not real or existing (God is the very good example)

9. No religion provides a life line for the subjects presently living or born in the future.
 
The Coronavirus brings the stark reality of human predicament and vulnerability.

10. All the religions promise to provide solace Only in future tense or afterlife.

11. I do not need a religion that does not provide enlightenment, emancipation or real freedom NOW in this life.

12. All religions are really cruel on mankind’s present predicament (escape from all dogmas of self made -man-made- creations) of any resolve, redemption or real escape from the bondage to dogmas.

Postscript; 
The percentages cited below may vary according to the faith.
 
About 60% is indifferent to any form of religion.
Another 20% is ambivalent.
 
Currently about 20%, the rest, is rigid adherent to the respective faith and this percentage is steadily falling.
They are the ones who want the rest of the 80% to be converted by force or by any mean.
 
When this is about 10% or below 10% the crisis sets in and the active terrorist breeds come into operation.

This is the period when there is lot of pain and suffering for the average man on the street.

We are fast approaching this point and it takes about another 50 to 60 years for the religions to become extinct (my prediction) from this planet and a long period of stability for the human race.

I am gone by then!

 

Tools for Human Survival

Tools for Human Survival 

What are they?
We are at a critical juncture where dogmas overrule the human sanity.
When wisdom is necessary, the religion of various shades and shapes take precedence over prudence.
Human history is inundated with examples and Wars.
Bible war is an example and we are playing the same wars digitally now.
The technique of Recruitment is Brain Washing on the line of MK-Ultra, which was designed to train assassins.
Unfortunately we do not learn lessons from the past but continue to repeat them.

We are now more closer to a Nuclear War than 50 years ago.

India, Pakistan, China, Israel, USA (UK alliance), Russia and France has nuclear capability.
Iran is aspiring to be among them.
They say having a weapon is a deterrent.
What way?
A madman or mad women from any of those countries can press the button of nuclear war.
We only have one planet and we cannot escape in a rush. 

Leave alone penetrating the Van Allen Belt.

Currently we are unable to get established in another planet or on our moon.

We are beings who can sustain one atmospheric pressure.

We cannot survive in Himalaya range more than few weeks.
Under water in high pressure range unthinkable.
Tools of survival are only a few.

Think if we are invaded by an alien beings and become slaves under them.
Then we will shed all religions, black or white supremacy and all the types of races and unite.

Ceylon is a good example.

Two warring races (human) and four or five religions and numerous political parties vying for power.

No unity in diversity.

Drop the race.
Drop the religion.
Drop the language.
Drop the power of money.
Speak as one Human Species. 

We are long way off this target.
Then only we can speak of saving our planet.

I have a theory (plausible) that if ever Alien Beings visited this planet (God means coming from the sky) they were venerated as goods, by Aztecs, Mayans or in this part of the world as Hindu Gods.

Our concept of Yakku, Deva and Naga in prehistory was either the variation of the above Hindu Gods or more likely the prehistoric man (exterminated by the visitors from India) who were sent into oblivion by the visitors.

Religion was created to allay fear for the unknown, leave alone the fear of death.
 
It is strange that religion itself creates fear among its followers.

A strange PARADOX of all.

Coming to the tools of religion please note the following expressions.
1. Fear for the unknown and the need for a universal protector gave way to the origin of faith and an almighty!

2. Intolerance (of other gods or religions even by killing)

3. Exclusiveness (either forced conscription like terrorists or cruel punishment to the outsiders)

4. Cruelty (sword at the beginning, now bombs including Nuclear)

5. Punishment (Stoning to begin with and later by laws of extremes)

6. Blind Allegiance (one cannot apply the 13 or so qualifications of Kalama Sutta)

7. Dogmatism (scripts are always sacred be that it is Bible or Quran)

8. Faulty analysis of what is not real or existing (God is the very good example)

9. No religion provides a life line for the subjects presently living or born in the future.
 
The Coronavirus brings the stark reality of human predicament and vulnerability.

10. All the religions promise to provide solace Only in future tense or afterlife.

11. I do not need a religion that does not provide enlightenment, emancipation or real freedom NOW in this life.

12. All religions are really cruel on mankind’s present predicament (escape from all dogmas of self made -man-made- creations) of any resolve, redemption or real escape from the bondage to dogmas.

Postscript; 
The percentages cited below may vary according to the faith.
About 60% is indifferent to any form of religion.
Another 20% is ambivalent.
Currently about 20%, the rest, is rigid adherent to the respective faith and this percentage is steadily falling.
They are the ones who want the rest of the 80% to be converted by force or by any means.
When this is about 10% or below 10% the crisis sets in and the active terrorist breeds come into operation.

This is the period when there is lot of pain and suffering for the average man on the street.

We are fast approaching this point and it takes about another 50 to 60 years for the religions to become extinct (my prediction) from this planet and a long period of stability for the human race.

I am gone by then!

Latest Debian Information-NO Gnome

 Latest Debian Information
?? NO Genome.
After trial and error I got it right.
It was Soaky Linux 8 sitting on a single partition that interfered with the booting process. My advice is not to use Sparky Linux even for testing.
For some unknown reason I could not get Gnome to mount after installation.
However, Plasma mounted as usually but very slow to response.
I went to panic mode and downloaded 4GB Image and it did not install on prepared partition to my liking. It froze.
Then I deleted those partition and allowed it to choose partitions.
It included small SWAP partition.
It is installing now.
I hope it does recognize other distributions which include BlueStar Linux.
New developers are probably making mistakes and I cannot pinpoint where they are going wrong.
Kernel in the USB is 12.6.31 
Install update 12.6.42+Debian 13.
Luckily no data loss.
All this started after I installed Simply Linux a Russian ALT Linux derivative.
It is based on an earlier kernel.
New kernel in my observation cannot coexist with other kernels.
Pity for other distributions.
By the way installation is very slow.
I think Australian repositories are not updated and they must be looking for alternative repositories.
It was bit of problem with BlueStarOS.
It never went above 500MB usually below 50MB.
Newbies be aware of the pitfalls.
This is why I tried it on a Sunday.
It is Monday morning past 8.30AM.
I have to go to sleep at 9AM 
I had a early breakfast.
I am going to sleep.

War and Artificial Intelligence

War and Artificial Intelligence  

War and Artificial Intelligence is not the End Game.

This piece is to highlight that the "War of Attrition" has no currency when AI is at work. Nobody seems to have understood this precarious situation.          

I do not think even China has given credence to this evolving situation.

China is obsessed with AI.

Russia in my belief does not believe in efficiency of the AI operations. It may be useful in a battle situation where surprise is intended. They still believe in human intelligence supervising the AI drones.

I do not want to use the term AI spy agents.

They have boots on the ground.

If AI is given the full control what evolves has no logic or algorithm. Americans do not have reliable boots on the ground and depend heavily on AI gathered intelligence.

At best AI stops at 95% efficiency.

The outlier of 5% is the one which leads to catastrophe in a AI battle of supremacy. The End Game has no logical endpoint but depends on the redundant data set of uncertainty. It is presumed be an infinity but infinity has a different physical connotation.

As for knee jerk reaction, I think we have to worry and suspect Americans who would jump the gun prematurely, on a preemptive strike.

Beware.

By the way, this is an American manufactured war. Russia never wanted a war in Ukraine but they preferred negotiations. It was the war monger, Boris Johnson who coaxed Zelensky into war path. Already one million Ukrainians have scarified their life to war of attrition.

It is easy to start a War.

It is very difficult to stop a particular War.

In human terms at this point of time, diplomacy, may or may not work.

The stakes are very high.

Then man made devices are used preemptively.

We have examples in history and the Atomic Bomb in Japan did end the World War II.

Unfortunately, we never managed to come to term with Strategic Arms Control for a sustainable period of time in our history. The Treaty for  Nuclear Arms Control ends in 2025.

There is no attempt to reactivate this Treaty.

Due to Presidential election in USA, no attempt to end this war was envisaged.

Status quo remains fragile.

Democratic mechanisms may fail in this type of scenario.

One man rule like in China may fail.

Dialogue may fail.

We have a vulnerable president in power, at a time where diplomacy is at zero strength.

The end game or end point is in "a state of flux".

When we have unstable leaders who do not have mature advisers to lead them, the tendency to rely on AI is realistic. Paradoxically guys who may be eyeing for a  regime change in USA may become proactive.

This was regime change in reverse gear.         

The man who envisaged Regime Change in Russia will be a victim of his own devises.

The pendulum swings from war to no war.

Putting the finger on the AI button, is a realistic probability.

It is literally called the "Panic Button".

This is an example of “Uncertainty Principle”, hard at work.

Victory is uncertain but stale mate factual.

Rebirth is the Essence

Rebirth is the Essence

Abhidhamma Explanation

Kamma Nimitta

Depends on the Individual.

Buddha and Arhants, with no remaining Kamma, ends up with no Rebirth.

Ananthariya Kamma that invariably produce results, such as hurting Buddha by Devadhatta would result in almost unrecoverable bad effect or Kamma Vipaka.

Others fall in between have many degrees of Janaka Kamma that may result in higher (Devas) to the lower (animal kingdom) to the humans.

Human birth is very rare.

Gati Nimitta is the ability to foresee the impending birth in a momentary, flash like instance.

Janaka Kamma

The mind or the Vinnana having tremendous speed far exceeding that of speed of light, in a moment to moment of its expression is inherently unpredictable. 

It is far better to forget about the time frame in human reference which is a human construction of an arbitrary value (it is a kind of concept). 

In physics time is not a substantial entity of nature but is comparatively relative to the solar system one inhabits.

In a moment of time, many, many mind instances occur, in high frequency, so an analogy, is impossible. 

The life span of a Citta is termed, in the Abhidhamma, a mind moment (Cittakkhaṇa). 

This is a temporal unit of such brief duration that, according to the commentators, in the time that it takes for lightning to flash or the eyes to blink, billions of mind moments pass by. What it means is that the frequency of Citthais tremendously fast and one cannot hold onto any one instance since one fades into another, instantly.             

In Abhidhamma, if my memory stands correct,  it states in a mind moment, there are 17 to 18 (I am puzzled how it was calculated) thought moments exist.              

In my opinion, it is an arbitrary figure which cannot be counted as such.

These thought moments have the Chethana base as a component and they are continuous and spontaneous and one cannot grab and hold onto one instance by will power.

In other words Rebirth is instantaneous and holder of the Kamma (unless one is an Arhant) has no control over the next birth.

In that sense the term Antharbhava  is superfluous and has no meaning. 

I am stating it as a man with a good understanding of physics.

 

Chethnaham Bhikkuve Kammam Vadhami.

 

Gathi Nimittha

So the last Chethana or Kamma Nimitta (Nimitta means impending event that has not yet come to being/fruition) of this life would take us to the next birth instantaneously.

Chuti Cittha

Chuti Citthais the last mental formation in any life form.

Patisandhi Cittha

Patisandhi Citthais the re-linking mental formation

Chuti Cittha (ending of one life) gives way to  the Patisandhi Cittha (beginning of next life) of the immediately following life, a natural process.

Gathi Nimittha is the momentary flash of seeing what is coming next and is not an event of any significance in Rebirth Phenomenon.

These Pali words unlike Sinhala or English have subtle but not precise meanings.  

So knowing the Pali meaning is NOT knowing the Dhamma in essence. 

Dhamma has much bigger and subtle meaning which I have not yet understood. 

That is the bottom line and it is not an academic exercise.

 

Mahayana Buddhism is Antithetical to Deliverance

In my opinion, of Mahayana Buddhism is that,  it is the degeneration of Original Buddhist Concepts into regional cultural practices.

Mahayana has added many regional philosophical contents into Buddhist practice outside the main realm. It is actually the Hindu mysticism that has degenerated the Original Buddhist Concepts. Anything that prolongs Samara or the recurring Birth Cycle is antithetical to Buddhist Thinking.

Theravada has one path

1.Ekayana Maggo

Satara Sathipattanais its goal.

2.Uppamado Amata Padan.

Strive hard with diligence on the path of deliverance.

One is truly one's own protector and saviour.

Do not delay the goal i.e; the emancipation.

One might not get another chance.

Human life is extremely rare.

Whereas, Mahavansa willfully delay emancipation by aspiring to become a Bodhisattva.       

It is trying to take many paths, mostly rituals, reciting stanzas and asceticism instead of the real meditation or the concentration on the path of deliverance.

One common thread should be meditation for the ultimate emancipation. They are willfully meditating to delay the emancipation or escape from Rebirth Cycle.

It is an antithesis to Uppamado Amata Padan.

Strive hard as, if there is no second chance is the true wayfarer's goal.

Dhammapada Verse 21 is Appamada Vagga

Appamado amata padam

pamado maccuno padam

appamatta na meeyanthi

ye pamatta yatha mata

Appamada is “ without delay” and pamada is being delayed.

Mata is death, and amata is deathless.

Nibbana is so called because those who attain it are freed from the cycle of repeated birth and death. Maccuno is also dead and so is meeyanthi.

Appamatta is not delayed, pamatta is one who is delayed. Yatha is “the true status”.

Heedfullness is the path to the deathless, heedlessness is the path to death. The heedful do not die, the heedless are already dead.

My Alien Invasion Saga.
 
In records in the East, these alien visitors were considered Gods, meaning coming from the sky. The crafts were called Dandu Monara Yantraya.
 
Dandu Monara Yanthraya
 
Additionally, in Christianity and Muslim records they were considered gods who came from the sky.

Let me put my own Alien saga here.
I believe in aliens, they have been visiting the planet earth, for millions of years according to Linda Moulton  Howe.
 
Linda Moulton Howe is an American investigative journalist, author, and documentary producer known for her extensive work on UFOs, animal mutilation phenomena, and alleged alien abductions. 
She has published four books investigating these topics, including An Alien Harvest, which links animal mutilations to extraterrestrial activity, and Glimpses of Other Realities, which compiles testimonies about non-human interactions with Earth. 
Howe also produces the Earthfiles website and podcast, focusing on unexplained mysteries and human-alien interaction.

Animal Mutilation 
Howe's research into unexplained animal deaths has led her to believe they are caused by aliens, as documented in her book An Alien Harvest.

Crop Circles
She has investigated and documented the complex crop formation phenomenon in England, the U.S., and Canada.
Alien Abductions and Government Cover-ups:
Her work includes exploring testimonies of human abduction and speculating that the U.S. government may be involved with alien beings in a cover-up.
Documentary Production:
Howe has produced documentaries and is known for the Earthfiles website, where she shares findings and interviews individuals with evidence and experience related to these phenomena.
Awards and Recognition:
She was honored with the Lucius Farish Foundation Award for her contributions to UFO research and productions in 2013.

Books
Explore her works such as An Alien Harvest, Glimpses of Other Realities, and Mysterious Lights and Crop Circles.

4. Naga
 These actually Reptilians and British Royal family probably has some connection to Reptilians.
 
Fight between Devas and Nagas probably resulted in a Nuclear accident and sinking of Original Lanka, is my belief but the historical records are hidden in Indian Hindu temples.
 
The ancient Indian also believed them as devas.

Gondwana 500 million years ago.
 
 
Lemuria from Wikipedia
Lemuria , or Limuria, was a continent proposed in 1864 by zoologist Philip Sclater, theorized to have sunk beneath the Indian Ocean, later appropriated by occultists in supposed accounts of human origins. 
The theory was discredited with the discovery of plate tectonics and continental drift in the 20th century.

The hypothesis was proposed as an explanation for the presence of lemur fossils on Madagascar and the Indian subcontinent but not in continental Africa or the Middle East. 
Biologist Ernst Haeckel's suggestion in 1870 that Lemuria could be the ancestral home of humans caused the hypothesis to move beyond the scope of geology and zoogeography, ensuring its popularity outside of the framework of the scientific community.

Occultist and founder of theosophy Helena Blavatsky, during the latter part of the 19th century, placed Lemuria in the system of her mystical religious doctrine, claiming that this continent was the homeland of the human ancestors, whom she called Lemurians. 
The writings of Blavatsky had a significant impact on Western esotericism, popularizing the myth of Lemuria and its mystical inhabitants.

Theories about Lemuria became untenable when, in the 1960s, the scientific community accepted Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift, presented in 1912, but the idea lived on in the popular imagination, especially in relation to the Theosophist tradition.
 
?Scientific Origins

Lemuria was hypothesized as a land bridge, now sunken, which would account for certain discontinuities in biogeography. 
This idea has been rendered obsolete by modern theories of plate tectonics. Sunken continents such as Zealandia in the Pacific, and Mauritia and the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Ocean do exist, but no geological formation under the Indian or Pacific oceans is known that could have served as a land bridge between these continents.
 
Do not believe Paranavithana who was a British Army Chief. 
 
He  probably adopted a Sinhala or pseudonym name to plant the British story.
 
Siran Daraniyagala is of course a contemporary of Colonel Olcott, Helena Blastykova, Bertram Russell and Arthur C Clerk.
 
Ranmuthuduwa and Maha Ravana Kotte and Sulu  Ravana Kotte under water are relevant to Ravana Story
 
According to my story, Lanka was a big continent gone under water which even had some connections to Gondwanaland
 
That is part of the Earth's history and three levels or planes left in the Ceylon were my interests in my book on Ceylon.
 
I was more interested in 350 odd, big and small waterfalls than our history. 
 
I have a book on waterfalls listing about 40 of them without any photographic evidence. 
 
I had camera and black and white photos but both the camera and photos were stolen when I was in UK.
 
Thank God, I was not interested in Sell-Lipi or Stone edits
 
By the way, I did geography only up to year 8.  My sister did geography for her degree and I had, few of her English books on Geography.
 
Mr. Mendis is one of the authors and other one was a British guy, I think.

Paranavithana guy deliberately distorted Ceylon history to curry favor the King
 
He was worse than John Doyle who was an ace spy.
 
He was helped by Thambhi Mudiyanse or Jayawardena clan who was / is are Indian Cassichetty.
 
Malayan Mudiyanse was another spy who was of Muslim by descent, I believe.
King Rajasinghe had a Battalion of Muslim soldiers who did not join the British. 
In Kandy, large Muslim mosque was built on the land donated by the King Rajasinghe. 
Malayan Mudiyanse would have provided information to Doyle about the Muslims soldiers.

1. Protohistory
Prehistoric Man and many Types
150,000 years ago.
Records in seabed of Ceylon.

Siran Daraniyagala 
Balangoda man
 
Oats, barely and similar seeds were found in caves.
 
Fa Hien had visited these caves.

Now this Vijaya clan posited a different and wrong story.
 
All the prehistoric bones in caves were destroyed by those who followed Vijaya and the monks who used those caves to erase the Ravana story.
 
These monks would have feared the Ghost of Ravana. 
 
There was no Ghost called Ravana but this story was created to burn all the stone remains (bones) of prehistoric men and women. 
 
That is my scientific analysis.
 
In my books on Ceylon and the brief prehistory I mentioned some of these geological facts as for the readers of my book to investigate.
 
My book was scientific and did not include myths or history.
 
My postulation is that 95% of the the land called Lanka Sank.
 
How?
I do not know. 
 
My guesstimate is a Nuclear Explosion.
?accident?
? deliberate? 
 
There were no meteors 20,000 years ago and if that happened Balangoda man could not have existed.
 
2. Prehistory
 
Yaksha Tribe
 
This sketch is to rectify my under representation of Ravana in the already published book.
 
History is not my domain.
I might do a book based on Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi's revelation with Stone Edits.
 
I am working on six more books currently. 
My Linux work is almost over and won't talk anything outside Trixie or Debian 13.

Ravana history

Ravana was a Great King of Prehistoric Ceylon or Hela Diva or Lanka Pura.

Kuberu is his his elder brother whom he defeated.

Vibhushana is his younger brother who fled  to India and helped Rama to overcome Ravana.

Ravana has written books that included Gynecology and Pediatrics.
 
He was an erudite.
 
Ravana period is over 3000 years (from 8000 to 5000) and one should not expect that they did not leave behind stone records.
 
Those stone records are important and Hela Akuru were different.
 
This is where Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi has shown  how our alphabet or Helakuru evolved.
 
This British Army Soldier who adopted Paranavithana name had willfully distorted the translations in English to please his king.

Ravana existed before Rama.
7000 to 8000 years ago.
 
There were records of astronauts and aircraft in CEYLON.
 
There are stone edicts depicting various air-crafts.
Swastika edits are still seen in these stone records.
Swastika has two symbols.
 
The stone edits starts with Swastika.
 
One forward curving which is non Buddhist 
 
One backwards leaning is Buddhist depiction or life extinction on Dhamma path.

Ravana was probably defeated by Rama of India.
 
He used fire through Hanuman
Burnt everything on his way.
 
Hanuman was a psychopathic guy.

1. Nuclear catastrophe came first.
2. Vandalism by Indians came second.
 
My guesstimate was Nuclear Catastrophe and what remained after Nuclear catastrophe was vandalized by Indian invaders who came later..
 
Then the melting of ice may have superimposed on the Nuclear Catastrophe.

This is probably around 5000 years, ago.
 
Then the Indian writers planted their own version erasing the  
True Ravana Story.

By birth, I do not believe anything Indians say, for example,  Sirasa Channel of  Daniel and Maharaja Organization.
 
Sirasa is an extension of this ancient tradition of distorting History of Ceylon.
It was one of my Indian friend Dr. Metha who was by birth a Hindu but by mental conversion who was a Buddhist told me, "Never to trust an Indian" in United Kingdom.
 
Hey, Hello Dr. Metta, if you are reading this piece.
 
Some of them come to India forging medical certificates. 
I was involved in catching one named Dr. Baxi
He did a locum to cover my work and I told my locum consultants  Dr. Fleet and Dr. Cheetham , do not trust this guy. 
 
Dr. Cheetham,  two weeks later gave me a call and said he was a forger.
He forged all his certificates and he was evicted and reported to B.M.C
 
He may have forged again and survived but I left UK immediately after, in 1988.

Six months in High Wycombe Hospital which was a hospital built on top of the Secret Communication Unit during second World War II. 
It was cement city and there was a secret (prohibited) door which we were never allowed to cross. 
I said Yes to this job not knowing it was military base (of what significance?).
 
It had number of Snooker Tables and I used to play snooker with a Muslim doctor from Iraq and we used to beat British guys 100%.
 
I joined Joyce Green Hospital in Dartford.
I had to cover three hospitals on weekends.
 
1. Joyce Green
 
West Hill hospital where I slept through the biggest cyclone in UK when the roof of our annex was blown off.

2. West Hill hospital 

3. ?? Daren Valley Hospital 
This may be the new name where Neonatal ICU is located, then.
My main work was covering the Neonatal Work over the weekends.
 
Dr. Mubarak was very friendly.
Dr. Patel was more interested in his private practice in London.
 
I was more interested in coming home and that is the reason I cannot remember.


3.  ? Maidstone Hospital
 
The third I cannot remember may be Maidstone Hospital.

I worked in Romford Hospital, too.
 
Ashford Hospital 
I did a locum in Ashford hospital and watch horse races from the balcony.
