Healing and Computers

I have noticed that many of us , when we return home , especially the teens , we would always switch on our PCs as our routine reaction when we enter our rooms . It seems that many of us have been addicted to the PC and we have to switch it on no matter if we have anything to do or not . How does healing come into the picture ? I have noticed that some people who know healing are quite addicted to the PC and they would forgo their practises to heal themselves even if they are a bit not well . Ok , this above scenario is not always applicable to everyone who knows how to use energy to heal , but to some specific people I shall not mention .

Such laziness is caused directly by the PC and so I would propose a plan where an individual should meditate and do their regular routine and have a break before using the PC or have some sort of a day or a period of time where they have some sort of a retreat from PC or have as little time spent on PC if possible and only use the PC if absolutely needed .

Firstly , this would encourage them to kick PC addiction and also save some power and bills in the process and next , they would be encouraged to uphold their routine of meditation and meditation during retreats like these are good since it makes up for all the rush meditation and times when meditation should be done by either it is not carried out or done half-way . Think of this as some sort of a patch up period for their spirituality and for them to sit down and contemplate . Also , the most important thing about the retreat is to give them that time needed in the hectic material world where the material distractions like the PC have managed to eat into their time for their own self-healing . Individuals should make use of this time of retreat to make-up for the time they need to rest and heal themselves and again , take it as a patch up time where they patch themselves and make up for the time they have missed when they should be repairing themselves .

So overall , the retreat is no other than self-repair and heal themselves and also for them to be more aware and increase their spirituality , give them time to work on their spirituality , for them to seek solace in the hectic life and to find tranquility and also for them to kick the habit of PC addiction and reliance on PC .

Be like Gandalf: Mix with the Hobbits , Dwarves and Elves

So , by reading the title of this post , I guess some of you might catch my meaning and understand , and there are some who would not . What do I mean by 'Be like Gandalf: Mix with the Hobbits , Dwarves and Elves' ? To put into terms that everyone would understand , in the show , The Lord of the Rings , Gandalf is actually a high Spirit (some sort of high level being) , older than the Elves themselves and are the ones who took part in the shaping of the Middle Earth . If you read more about Gandalf , he's acually a Maiar spirit , a helper of the 'Deity' in the Lord of the Rings , Eru Illuvatar . So he is actually far more superior than the Elves themselves but he came down to the Middle Earth in the form of a Wizard and thus , his abilities are being restricted . Although he is a high being , he doesn't show that arrogance and say:" Hey , why should I stoop and help such lowly beings like those elves , hobbits and dwarves ? Why should I ever mix with these fellows and dance and sing and drink and merry make with them ?" He doesn't do that at all . Rather , he enjoy the company of the 'lowly beings' and make merry with them and drink and dance and enjoy .

So , what have all these to do with today's topic ? There are practitioners who have attained a high level of realization in their practise and I know some of them who would have that attitude like "Hmmmmm....why should I stoop low to these silly practise of these lame people ?" Yes , these are reality and saddly , I unfortunately know some practitioners who think overly too highly of themselves and not stoop for a while and enjoy .

So what if you have practice such potent practises and regard the mixing of herbs and potions as mere useless elixirs and the writing of charms as a limited way of magick and speaking of chants and mantras speaking foolish tongues whereas , they , can will power with a single thought and cause the Earth and the spirits to tremor at their powers . Well , sometimes the speaking of incantations , the making of charms , the mixing of herbals and potions , which are regarded lowly to these powerful practitioners , are sometimes , enjoyable and gets you in touch with the beings of the Earth . It's grounding to put it this way . I don't know , it's just a feeling that brings to mind the rainbows and the still lakes , the flowing streams and the night when the mooons are full . The thought of dancing fairies and elves and dwarves ...such enchantment and such sugar like sweetness and such earthliness . Just a thought .

It is such a wonder to be in touch with such .

(No offense of whatever is meant to anyone by this post.)

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 .

'The Essence of Youth' ?

I have written about the 'Essence of Youth' in a past post that I posted here . Click HERE to read about that article .

I contemplated on what the 'Essence of Youth' is and I think I have found the answer . The answer , to me , is Innocence . Innocence , always produce this youthful feeling ....somehow ignorant to the harsh and unforgiving world 'outside' .

I felt that we all have this pure 'Essence of Youth' in us . It's only that we did not know that it is still in our heart . Our True Nature , our Buddha Nature ... is always there .... right in our heart of our being . Our purity is always untainted in essence .. but it's our disillusioned and attached perception that discriminate between pure and impure... dirty and clean , finite and infinite , true and false , good and bad , permanent and impermanent .

So , now you know about my view of the 'Essence of Youth' . Do sit in contemplation and contemplate about what life means to you ... and what life is about . Who are you ? Where is your origin ? Why are you here ?

If you can answer these questions , you have already been self-realized .

My Way of Healing

Besides from meditation , I do know some simple ways of healing with energy and some Buddhist mantras that have healing qualities . Recently , I have a close friend whom I know for seven years and his mum had developed a certain kind of cancer . At first , the cancer was handled but the cancer had a relapsed . My friend came to me and asked me to heal her mum . Just in case someone might ask if she did consult a doctor or any modern medical treatment ...yes , she did and she is currently still undergoing modern medicine treatment .

My energy healing is considered as a supplimentary help . I would light a candle for her and chant some Buddhist mantras like the Medicine Buddha Mantra Heart Mantra , the Usnisa Vujaya Mantra Heart Mantra ... and other mantra and forward the merits of the chanting to her so she would have a good dose of good karma . I would send healing energy to cleanse her and I would locate the spirit entityor spirit fragment embbedded in her (if any) and remove it if possible .

Currently , I am still healing her . I hope that the healing would be a success and she would be well again .

Some of you may scoff and say :" Wake up from your own self-induced delusions ... " or something alike . All I can say is that I am doing what I can , and chip in some of my efforts to make her better and this is MY way of wishing her well ... by using what I know to help her . If there are those who want to scoff or deny , it's their own will and their own choice . I have my own ways and belief ...so do you ...

I don't think you want people to force you or try to sway your will...

Anyway , the essence is , we all have our ways to help others and our own rights to help others as long as we don't hurt them .

Moving in two directions

I personally practise two kinds of spirituality . The first kind is the spirituality which you seek for the True Nature of the Mind and such a spirituality would be considered 'High Up' because you are seeking for that truth within . It is like as though I am climbing a ladder up wards to the True Nature . It is hard to put in words and as you observed from the way my words and sentences are phrased , I am really having a hard time bringing spirituality to mere human language . In short , when I seek the Nature of the Mind , I am climbing a ladder upwards .

The second type of spirituality I am practising is the Earth based spirituality . In common words, it is called Paganism . It helps to get one connected to Earth and that's why , it's called Earth Based . By practising Earth - based Paganism , you become closer in relation with Mother Earth . Practising Paganism in short , brings me grounded to Earth .

The more I practise the first kind of spirituality , which is finding my True Nature , the more I would be drawn downwards to the Earth . I hope you get the picture . I am trying to mean that , the more I go upwards to find my true nature ,the more I would yearn to be drawn back to the ground and the Earth to be grounded .

So what's the evidence of such a feeling to show that the more I seek my true nature , the more I am drawn down the ladder from mid heaven to the Earth ? Currently , my mind and heart could enter into the Void / Emptiness in meditation . Since I am moving closer to understanding the true nature , the more I want to be grounded . I feel like I want to go to a bank of a small , calm stream in a lonely woods and sit by the banks and observe nature and let myself be one with the Earth . Although I understand that all things are illusions and I should learn to be detached , my heart yearns to sink down to Earth and be close to Mother Earth .

The first spirituality option of climbing up the ladder allows me to work with energy with just pure thoughts and willpower and without the need of any tools or conventional restrain , but as my heart yearns for the Earth , I couldn't help but my heart still yearn to use tools from nature , like crystals and herbs ... to do workings of energy .

I would like to clarify about certain words above , before I end today's post . I do not mean that Paganism or Earth - based practises are 'Lowly' , just in case there's misunderstanding , and I don't mean that using tools shows that a person is weak or dependent . I do use some tools like mantras and paper talismans . I mean no offense for those who love Earth - based practises and those who love to use rituals and tools that these are lowly . No , these practises of Earth - based or the using of tools , especially from nature , are not lowly . In fact , I respect the use of these tools of nature and such Earth -based practise and I thought it is also pretty noble . And yes , I too occassionally use Earth - based practises and natural tools like water and herbals and stuff like these too in my practise ... and don't forget ....as I mentioned above, my heart still yearns for the Earth ... lol ..

In the current state , whenever I move a up the ladder , my heart would yearn for the Earth. Even the simple practises of the Earth can be pretty impressive and powerful ...

I am moving upwards and downwards ...in both directions ... As above...so below ...

* Blessings *

There and Back again ...

Well , I have been busy with an entire of 2006. I an back with my bloggings . I have been keeping up with my daily meditations last year and I the effects I have are improved intuition . It doesn't mean that I know everything with heightened intuition . Ihavealso been practising mantra chanting almost daily since the start of last month and I feel the calming effects of the mantras .

For those who do not know much about me , I would just put myself in a simple term. A contemplative person . And as you can see , I am very interested in meditation and mantra chanting . Some may call it a Hippie practises . Well , these are more profound practises because if you have entered into the deep depths of silent meditation , you would understand how it feels . It is not the New Age Hippie Love for All and Free for all stuff . It is much more profound which is unexplainable in written languages. You have to try the meditations to experience the profound experiences of the Inner Self and the Nature of ourselves .

About the mantra chantings . Some would picture a person reciting incantations . It is partially correct but hey , it's a stereotypical view and stereotypical views can cause mental fixation to concepts which does not allow the mental mind of the person to become flexible . Mantras have profound effect on the Mind , Body and Spirit of the person . It is neither good mantra nor harmful . It is the intent of the user that drives the mantra . I may put up a post on how mantras can affect us .

But back topic of me returning to blog. It has been a long time . I hope I can blog often ... but I am not sure about that .

What will you feel, if you have an unknown fear to face. Oh...hold on...there's some one near you whom have the ability to help you but is too lazy to move a bone to help. What would you do?

Your peace and tranquility would not come unless you deal with that unknown fear . The only one who have the potential refuses to help you. What would you do?

If you are going to leave the fear as it is, you would not leave in peace, and subsequently, the person whom have the ability but do not want to aid is also affected by the commotion and fear you express (by your screams and shouts).

Isn't it foolish for the person to not help you. He's indirectly creating his own trouble in a way, unless he moves away.

Well, some would recommend you stand up and face your fear, but you might say that you have so much fear that you are left helpless. Some may say it's an excuse but you insist that you are too fearful.

For all this trouble, why not the person help you and later on, you learn to handle your fears slowly. Ain't this a nice ending.

Why must that heartless person just leave you to face your fear alone , and leave you in pain, which indirectly creates nuisance to him. Ins't he ripping his own fruits by sufering the nonsense and noise.

You may wonder why I wote this article. My answer to this question is because I have seen many times, these situation occured to many people around me, and sometimes myself. This article came out of inspiration while I was searching for something to write.

Too Much Energy

A few weeks ago, I talked to a friend of mine and he told me how he deal with excessive energy in him. After talking to him, this idea of dealing with excess energy was brewing within me for a few weeks while Iponder of possible ways to deal with excess energy in a person. Now , I have finally came out with answers to this question.

Have you ever felt within you , at certain time ,when your internal energy reserve is overflowing with excess enrgy and you are wondering how to deal with those excess energy.

Some would play games , maybe computer games. Some might play basketball, go for a swim , a game of badminton , cycling ...etc. Some may hit the gym or do some work out.

To consider the extreme cases, some may try to relieve himself or herself of those energy by bullying others or doing something hurtul or harmful to others.

The rare cases would be some trying to make full use of this excess energy and learn to conserve and use them . Indeed a rare case. Instead of spending the energy, they learn to conserve and keep these energy somewhere. ( A very clever way indeed )

I would touch on how to transform such excess energy into something useful in this topic. I Hope you don't mind of it's extensive length.

If a person were to experience in a build up of excessive energy within them , and they want to relieve themselves by exercising or in any non - harmful ways ( drawing , playing games , creating blogs...etc ) then it's fine , but if the usage of the energy is to harm others, I would recommend that if possible, re direct this harmful usage of energy into something productive.

Below is a visualiation for those who are interested in to follow , so that they could re direct energy in a proper way .
________________________________________________
Method 1

1. Sit comfortably on the floor or on a chair or sofa.
2. Straighten your spine comfortably. ( need not be too straight)
3. Relax your body , shoulders, face ,stomach ...etc and also breathe comfortably.
4. Place the tip of your tongue behind your upper jaw ( behind the row of teeth on the upper jaw). Be comfortable.
5. Now place your attention below your stomach region.
6. You should feel a sensation of excess energy raging through you. But sometimes you don't get this sensation which doesn't matter. Just know that that's your energy reserve area.
7. Now mental visualize that the excess energy slowly spill out of your reserve area, slowly but steadily , flowing your whole body with energy.
8. You may feel that every atom in you start to become hyperactive and you may feel urges and sensations start to surge through you.
9. Ignore the urges and sensations . Just allow the energy to spill out.
10. Visualize that the excessive amount of energy flooding out, healing every part of you.
11. When the energy floods to the boundary ot your being, allow it to flow out into the environment around you.
12. As the energy flow out into your surrounding, your mind should wish all things well as the energy flows.
13. When you feel that you have no excessive energy left , slowly bring your mind to your rserve area and slowly open your eyes.
14. Stand up and do some stretching and proceed with your daily chores.

Looking back at today, it's another not so fruitful attempt at meditating. Sigh. I haven't meditated for a very long time. Now that I have the time, I decide to meditate daily if possible. It's like trying to do 50 situps in a minute after you haven't done it for a year.

This time, the meditation was indeed interesting, may be not this time. This had happened for some times.Maybe in the past. When I meditate, I felt mini tremors in my leg which are not visible to the naked eyes. According to some masters, it is a sign of progress, but I wonder if it is true. Yet again, I couldn't sit still after 15 minutes into meditation. Not something surprising because of the numbness you have to overcome when you sit motionless for sometimes. I hope the time of endurance could be lengthened. But anyway, I felt a bit better after the meditation. Not because of relief from the numb, but you just feel better generally.

Anyway, getting into the main topic for this post. It's really hard to find a friend who understands you very well and also display unparallel loyalty and honesty . It's very rare to meet a friend who truely understand you because not everyone could understand each other, even with pictoral aids or aid of language or an understanding of the other parties' behaviours.

Even an empath is no better than two friends who bond together as though they are one individual only.

Why? So what if an empath could feel the other party's feelings, but he/she might not understand the two friends because something like these could be so profound that it's beyond words, beyond language,beyond pictures and beyond feelings. It's beyond this worldly feelings.

So what am I trying to say? It's hard to meet such a friend where both of you could bond very well, as though you two were actually one person. It's really rare on earth.

I have a very very close and yet good friend but there's something that's hard for me to tell him. Both of us haven't reach a state where we become one individual. This is to show how rare such friendship where two individuals could "merge" into one could occur. Though such friendship is rare, but it still does occur.

Chinese call these bosom friends " Zhi ji" , which "Zhi" means know and "ji" means yourself. It means that two friends know each other so well that as though He becomes me and I become him.

Such " Zhi ji" should be well treated and hopefully, such friendships are able to survive forever.

I am currently having my End of Year exams in my tertiary school. Not really easy and neither too difficult. Tomorrow is my last paper. Hopefully it would be easy.

Now I have managed to find some time to update my blog while I am taking a break from my studies.

In many religions, cultures and beliefs, there are many legends and beliefs that state that all of us have a core, which is our soul.

At the moment of death(physical), the soul would unbind itself from the physical body . There are sayings in ancient cultures which state that although we are dead physically, our souls live on. Death is only a process where the soul releases itself from the mundane world to continue it's journey in life. Some beliefs said that the spirit would go to heaven or hell. Some beliefs state that the soul would become immortal and some said that the soul would reincarnate.

Either ways, it seemed like many cultures agree that our souls have survived from countless aeons of reincarnations and rebirths. Past life regression therapies have proven life after death and reincarnation and rebirth.

As we move on the seemingly endless path in life, reincarnating and having rebirth, the soul seemed to be wondering throughout the countless aeons of survival and the countless millions of times of rebirths and reincarnation. Many souls seemed to try to find that something. That something which would give them truth ,final bliss and reason which would explain all these endless hardship, happiness, sorrow, joy, life,death, rebirth, reincarnation...etc.

Many souls have that in their agender to find that special something which could terminate their miseries and sorrow, and maybe even joy and happiness. But many times, the soul have wondered off track many times. Rebirth upon rebirth , that agender was fresh in the mind of an innocent infant, but as life goes on, the agender was / is and will be lost. They would hanker after greed, riches, material comfort. They would loss track in their lifes.

When a tiny whisper of words from within the heart emerge, advising them with useful advise, many would shove it aside and pretend not to hear it. Some would even scorn it and label that voice without much further investigations and become skeptics.

So long have the soul been searching for that special something, which seems to be so near and yet so far too.That something that is the end of all things and also the beginnings.

Many mystics , hermits, and spiritual people have mentioned about that special something, and many have agree that that special something is the goal of all souls. The final destination and also the opportunity to break out of the seemingly endless cycles of rebirth, life and death.

This article is to stimulate readers to sit down and reponder about life. It's to aid and prompt reader to look at life again, and decide what you want at the end of the tunnel. This article is also to help readers rethink about all that is going on in life, before, after, present, past and future.

Calm the mind , enter the vast stillness within. That's a piece of that special something that the soul have been trying to find. But that's only one piece.

My Special Friends

Looking back at the years past and of now, I have a small group of friends but as we move on, we lost contact. Only a handful of friends remained .

I have this friend , who is 5 years younger than me. He's currently in his adolescents age and I have just pass my teenage years and have become an adult myself. Though he is in his adolescent period, he always radiate a cute and childish feeling with also a perfect blend of mature feeling. He's just a perfect blend between mature (physically and mentally) and his childish and cuteness(mentally). He's no doubt my best friend and also one of the closest friends I ever have. We have been friends for more than a decade and still remain as friends till now. I am lucky to have such a loyal and close friend.

I also have a classmate who is the same age as me, just legally became adults. He seem to always radiate this cute feeling and this cheerfulness and childish attitude and mood which is similar to my best friend whom I mentioned earlier. They seem to have within them "The Essence of Pure Youthfulness" .Why I said so ? Because of the feeling, their cheerfulness, childish yet well mixed with matured attitude and their "cuteness" which is indescrible . It seems that some sort of energy is within these two of them that kept them so cheerful,cute and yet a well mixed mixture of maturedness is wihin the two of them, keeping them going.

I hope that their "Essences" could keep them going further when they meet any difficulties in life, and hopfully, they could use these "Essences" to help others who are meeting difficulties too.

Well, it's said that humans and their bodies adapt very quickly to their environment.That's true. You can see that humans have went to the extreme of adapting desert lifestyle.

My point for today is not totally about adpataions but it's partilly about adaptation. I am not really good in sports nor in exercises but I decided to take some basic exercises to strengthen my body and improve my not so good health.

I notice that when I did a number of push ups ( not single digits...I am not so weak to do single digits) , there is obviously some difficulties. I haven't been exercising for some times to be honest. Being weighted dowm by work and exams.

After the first not so successful round of push ups, I decided to look for some techniques. While I was sitting down, I thought of a theory, since humans and their body adapts very quickly, then why not do a second round of push up. I went down another round and added three more . To my surprise , the motion went more smoothly. I am not sure if I am right but I felt lesser resistance. I thought of exploiting this adaptation to create a set of exercises .

My theory goes that you go and do a set of exercise. Not too many till you fall. Just nice amount. Then rest and walk around and do other things . Drink some water. After 10 to 15 minutes, go down again and do the push ups. Try to add around 2 to 3 more push ups to your set. So slowly , you increase your number of push ups in one day quite quickly.

Do around two to four times of this theortical routine or unless until you think you need a rest or a stop.

Do not do some much till you feel uncomfortable or get injuried.

This is only an expeimental theory . I wouldn't be responsible if anything go wrong. Carry this experiment at your own risk.
