Unorthodox ?

Ok , what is orthodox methods of practise (energy work , religion , science , philosophy,medicine...) ? If you look at the so called orthodx approach , aren't these orthodx approach , after all ...just an approach to do something ...or maybe , just a more commonly used practised or so called , 'norm' ?

Orthodox is no more than just a label . So what's unorthodox then ? If orthodox is the 'correct' way , then unorthodox is the 'wrong' way ? Nope . It's the dogmatic mindset and the persistant , rigid and stubborness of our limited and unenlightened view that differentiates orthodoxy and herectics .

Essentially , all paths are just paths . There is no orthodxy or unorthodox ways in the beginning . It's when the limited mindset of people , trying to relate to things and events , this is where they start to classify things and start giving labels .

(I don't mean that doing harm to others is encouraged . Contrary , I strongly dislike and disagree on harming of others .)

Although I practise my energy work and spirituality by mixing my experience and what I know and learned together , seldom sticking around and just walking on the path I feel comfortable , many would regard as unorthodox . I would like to defer and say that ...I am just walking my own path ... and that's all .

hypocrites

I personally know of some people , and I shall not name them ... and some of these people are closest to me , these people are hypocritical . On one hand , them advocate morals and values , and on the other hand , they themselves go against what they said and do things against their preachings and rantings .

Hypocrites can appear in any field ranging from office work to belief systems and even some New Age movements . I would not go further into belief systems as it is a touchy topic and I don't wish people getting hurt and I don't want to get into any trouble with anyone .

For people who are looking for masters teaching them in anything , and especially skills of meditation , magick , belief , energy work (including Reiki) ... I should say all fields , beware , there are many hypocrites and I have seen and read more than my fair share of such hypocrites , on one hand , they preach about this and that and on the other hand , they turn their backs and secretly engage in acts against what they had been preaching .

For now , I shall speak till here . I hope readers become more careful about such hypocritical person and are more aware of what's going on around them and not allow hypocrites to fool them .

USB Thumbdrive - A Hassle and Trouble ?

Now a days , as technology improve , so does our devices . Thumbdrives have rapidly reduced in it's size and increased in it's capacity to hold data . Although our devices are getting compacted , it poses us some discomfort in a common way . The discomfort which is so common and so troublesome is the ever increasing cases where people lose their thumbdrives whether is it they plugged into a OC , turned around to do something and someone sneaked away with it , or whether is it a case where thumbdrives are so common and part of our lives and also , thumbdrives have become so small , that we forget to unplug it after work or school and left it behind . When we leave a thumbdrive behind , especially those branded type , it's a big attraction for those who want to steal it and sell for some profits , or who couldn't afford it ...or other cases .

We need a common solution so that such discomfort could be radiacally reduced . Here , I would propose some ideas and I hope some software programmers or companies ... or even large companies like Microsoft , Sun , Apple ... could do something to address this issues .

Let me first chip in some feasible ideas i thought of to improve the 'ugly' situation of losing thumbdrives .

  • Operating System makers like Microsoft could include a kind of a software in their plug and play feature which would scan the USB ports for storage device and alert the user before shutting down .
  • Operating System makers like Microsoft could also include a software in the USB Host , when someone right click on the USB and clicks on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' , after selecting the drive to be removed , a pop-up could remind the user to unplug the device with a voice .
  • A software could be written in the thumbdrive which could be always listening if it's going to be detach and would remind the user to remove the thumbdrive .

These are some of my suggestions . More could be done to prevent the lost of thumbdrives...although thumbdrives are getting cheaper ...but the personal data can be very valuable in it . No matter what software you write to guard the contents , there are always to by-pass it . It's best to prevent than to cure ... So , the prevention is to ensure people would not be so careless with their thumbdrives and to treat such a portable and handy device as a piece of themselves ... so they would not want to loose it again .

Python GUI

This morning , I have nothing much to do and I decide to explore how Python GUI wasw done . I had been using Python programming language for nearly half a year a year ago for my Operating System course . The Python language seems to be faster and easier than other languages as long as you know the concept and know the basic programming concepts . I have been doing Python and all the 'println' code which is the command prompt kind of input where you have to type your inputs in but this time , I wanted to learn the GUI format . It seems that I only took some research and some hands-on experiment and finally , I created a GUI version of a desktop URL browser launcher where you type in a url in the GUI console and click 'ok' and it opens a default browser and goes to the desired site .

Altogether it only took some what 1 hour to understand some basics and to create the web browser launher . It was some what pretty quick .

Anyway , that web launcher maybe upgraded to handle basic Google Search ...lol .

This is all I want to say for today . Blessings .

Criticism

Our mind is the biggest critic . Few would deny it . What causes our emotions to enrage ? What causes us to hate or despise someone ? What makes us so critical of others and what they do ? It's all in our mind . Yes , the mind is the biggest culprit for criticism , but yet , if well harnessed , it can display much truth .

Take a time and try reading something you would be likely to critisize , from the beginning to the end of the article . Don't talk or think or process the data entering your mind . Just read it and be detach . When you have finish reading through the entrie article without critisizing , then start your mind and let it work . See what happens . You tend to see the bigger picture then you thought you knew while you were reading . It shows that many of us are blinded to what we see now , and not the whole picture , and when we see a fragment , we start to critisize .

Why do I post this up ? Because I see the need for myself and others to calm down , access the situation , before critisizing and discriminating .

Inner Sanctum

Sitting on a flat piece of rock right in front of a small shallow lake which has the deepest depth of up to my shoulder . The water was extremely clear and I could see the pebbles at the bottom of the lake , even in the deepest part , so much light was shining through the water and the bed of the lake was brightly litted and was reflecting light . A breeze of wind blew pass the still surfaces of the lake , creating some small waves and ripples . Everything was quiet , but the wind . The breeze sweeping pass me , carried away my worries and thoughts . I am left still...silent and quiet ...like in an endless void within me . The small hills that surrounds the lake are lush green with trees and forest and plains and fields . It is indeed a treasure .

This is my imaginery inner world .

No Concept

According to Zen Buddhism , Hell and Heaven is but a single thought . The Hell and Heaven I refer to is not just the Hell and Heaven we see in religious books or scriptures , but Hell can be events like 911 , being backstabbed in your work or project ...any Hell like events to you . Heaven can also refer to visiting some remote island where you can enjoy your Holidays in peace ...etc .

From the above concept , I was wondering , what happened if a group of our ancestors strayed onto an island and developed into a unique race which even till this modern era , there isn't a single visit to them . They live a life where they aren't interfered by outsiders and on the island , everything is plentiful . There is no need to be wealthy since everything is provided by the jungle and is plenty and no one is short of anything . There is also very little concept of ownership... so it's more of a community then an individual and they have no concept of any whatso ever belief system .

Belief system first arises when Man need to find an explanation for natural events beyond their comprehension at their time and when they run into difficulties , they start to hav concepts of Belief system . What happen if this group of ancestors , still live in their own ways and their life were so comfortable and well supplied , they have nothing to be worried about and they have no concept of any belief at all . They just live life so comfortably , they have no concept of stealing , murder , sexual assaults and all the 'sins' in modern terms and since they have no 'sins' .. . they therefore have no such concepts of 'sins' .

Now , consider , what happen when they were to die or pass away , without any conception ...and they see death as a natural process . Would they go to Heaven or Hell ?

I would probably say that this lot of native people are very fortunate since they have such a peaceful life and are innocent to the concept of 'sins' , 'heaven' and 'hell' . I think they would neither go to Heaven nor Hell , since they don't even have a conept of Heaven or Hell . Maybe ... their spirits (I wonder if they have concepts of spirits) would just go to some alternate reality of their peaceful island where they can 'eternally' carry on the same lifestyle as they were alive .

Auras of people with confidence

I have started to observe the energy fields or auras of people. I sublty noted that people who are confident , they have a kind of energy flow within them that seemed pretty strong and their energy is radiating out and beautiful . You can say these confident aura are pretty bright .

These brilliance can be seen throughout their aura but more still , if you observe their chakras or energy centers , their solar plexus chakra (right below the rib cage) , are pretty brilliant .

That's all for this post ...lol ... pretty short .
