Born free again.

Born free again Everyone of us have  bondage in life. As we grow older the bondage gets more and more until we suffocate. The reverse happen when we grow old, we start to reduce our  bondage and bagged . Some people let it go faster than the others. Those people achieved it earlier felt liberated and born again。  This is no difference from the born again status like in Christianity. The feeling of liberation and freedom. This feeling warrant a significant change in our mindset which a fundamental requirement to let go of our  bondage. Each bondage is like adding a chain on our body and each chain weight us down. Each step of our life is heavier as each chain is added. The chain is like demons , our bad experiences, fear , worries ,needs, greed,etc and it has many forms and shades. Their basic role is to restrict our  thoughts and our life and give us misery, hardship,suffering and unhappiness. If we break each chain, the lightness in our body will return and if we continue to break the chain, we will be able to break free and see daylight and happiness. The feeling is the same as we have beaten obesity and we can run and jump freely. At this stage, we are broken free. Our journey in life will enter a different phase and our mind will be clearer and we can see better. We can "see" through life and we will look at life and the world differently and live more meaningfully . The. breaking of the chain is actually clearing our mind and controlling our thoughts.  If our mind is discipline and  clean then we have entered into a different realm and we will live in enlightenment and eternal happiness. Namaste.

Today's yoga session

Today's yoga session The yoga session is getting tougher  in every session and the teacher just keep pushing us to our breaking point. Everyone was tired out towards the end of the session bit the teacher keep telling us " do it one more time". I think my yoga teacher  is a perfectionist and a technocrat . Normally, this type of people are bad  businessman. As a good businessman, he or she needs to feel the pause of the class and adjust it systematically. This can only be done if you have separate classes for elementary. Intermediate or advance. If you mixed them together , it would be like a bunch of mixed elements . If she practice the advance pose, she will kill the starters and she slows down for the starters, the advanced members will be bored. So, there has to be a balance of difficult and simple pose and this is the most difficult routine to arrange。 Again, the body conditions of the different members of  the class fluctuate day to day and this again needs to adjusted by the teacher. If the teacher failed to understand the class , then the number of students will get less. So, a successful teacher who is touch with feelings and body conditions of each member of the class and he or she should continued to observe and be aware and adjust the tempo of the class to many every student comfortable with the class. To be a perfectionist do not necessary be a good teacher but the one who cares and aware will be a good teacher and a businessman. Namaste.

Fearful of death

It is a taboo to talk about death. Nobody wants to know about death or your fear of death. It is a normal instinct and nobody in the right mind would like talking about such subject. But, it is real and yet we do not want to face it or talk about it. I am now reading a book about death. The writer was a very famous professor and politician and he write about his last days in this world. He was a cancer patient like the writer of the book " chasing daylight". Both are prominent man and they list out their wishes and thoughts during this twilight years of theirs. Why people only talk about their death in their dying days ? Are they become more fearless when facing death ? We will die faster if we were to talk about death ? or should we get depressed ? Yeah , people are only interest in life and not the end. Well, they are right. But, talking about death will bring us more life, more awareness and making us live the present moment. Yes, we can behave like an ostrich hiding our head in the sand and stick out our backend and let others kick it. It is so ironical. Everyday, there is death in this world and new life also came into this world. When there is death, there is death. Nobody can avoid it. But, why we are so fearless when facing death? Why cann't we be more fearless when we are alive ? To be fearful , does it make our life longer ? Yeah, being thrifty can make us rich , but be fearful and behave cowardly , does it prolong our life. There is no logic and substance in this thought but it is only a comforting thought. So, fellas, live fearlessly and live in the present moment. Namaste.

Back from Bangladesh with an experience.

Back from Bangladesh I am just got back from Bangladesh and there was some experience I wanted to share with all of you.  I was staying at the Westin Hotel in Dhaka and last night I had a dinner with a VIP at the Italian Restaurant in the same hotel.  On my way up to the restaurant, I took a lift and after I have pressed for the lift , I step back and waited. Suddenly, the lift door open and standing in the lift was a long hair middle black age women. She was quite huge and she stared at me without smiling . I was shocked to see a dead face women staring at me without moving. After a few seconds she started to move and I was relieved . At least, she moved and not  just vanished. I believed that she was also shocked to see me staring at her. A huge  stoned face Chinese man looking at her. I think she was equally shock and after I moved she was relieved. There is a Chinese saying " if a human scared another human, there is no medicine to cure this fear". It will need the person to cure themselves.  What it mean is that the experience is registered in our mind and we have deepen our fear. This fear will weaken our mind and will haunt us for the rest of life. Such images or experience will surface in the right moments to shake your confidence and instill fear in all of us.  Hence , we have face these fears and tell them enough is enough and push them out of your mind. The more Ee do it , the weaker will be such image and our mind will rule over it and gradually shut it out. Namaste.

Demons in our life

Demons in our life The fear factor in us varies between individuals. Some people can be  very confident while some can be very scary.  For those who are scary, they spend most of their times fighting their internal demons instead of living. These internal demons influence the mind to think of the.various possibilities and keep the mind in a suspicious mood. The mind creates its own story and  interpretations and make them edgy and confrontational。Always in a negative mind and creating a figment of our own thoughts. When two of our enemies or people we don't like gets  together, we will think they are talking about us or if the two crack a job and laugh , they are laughing on us. We think we are the star in their topics or the object of their jokes or laughs. How do we kill these demons? Since it exits within us it is only we can destroyed it without destroying ourselves. These demons are not illness of the body, it is the weakness of our mind. Since it is the mind problem , we have work with our mind and identify its source and strengthen the mind to removed its weaknesses. Since , it is our mind , we should be the master and don't be a slave to it. Be what you want to be. There is a saying " If you want t to be , the. Let it be me". Namaste.

Lying on my bed, thinking.

Lying on my bed . thinking Many thoughts went through my head as I lay on my bed trying to sleep. It has been a quiet weekend and I went around to finished my weekend chorus. Certain part of the day it was raining and now it is drizzling late in the night. The thoughts of my wife's second uncle keep coming into my thoughts. I saw him on Saturday with his wife and he has a tube sticking out from his neck. He was a businessman before and was doing quiet well until his son gambles away his house and his retirement funds. We used to meet on Sunday at my father in law's condo. The uncles and aunties will gather there and enjoy a few rounds of mahjong and followed by a dinner at the condo. He told me that he used to practice "Tai Chi" and taking brisk walks and now he is getting old and getting sickness. He told me that when we aged, we have to take care of our food and health. The thought of him let me wonder that everyone of us will need to go through the cycle of birth, aged, sickness  and death. I saw on TV this evening , the funeral of Thailand's white dragon or the "Pak Loong Wong". He is a very famous personality and he is consulted by many famous celebrities of Thailand and Hong Kong as he considered a Demi-god who can tell the fortunes of his followers. Even this Demi-god also need to abide by the basic cycle of life preached by Buddha. I have read about the research in stem cells as scientist try to grew a brain from stem cells. Maybe one day, a person may not need to die as scientist can grow stems to repair the dying heart ,brain and the vital organs just like the worn out parts of a motor vehicles and they can break the basic cycle of life. At that time, is there  more meaning to life? Namaste.
