The Third eye - solace.

In Yoga, we have always say that the third eye lies in between the two eyes. Yes, right in the centre. We believe that through practice , we can open the third eye which can see the past and the future.

The third eye can also open you to the third world or the next dimension.  I saw the film " solace" last saturday and the story evolved around two men who could see the past and the future. One was a former policeman and another a self  declared saviour. The so called " saviour" tends to kill terminally illed people and the killing is done by a painless thrust of a long knife at the base of the skull.

A few people was killed until the retired police officer linked it to mercy killing of these people. Some was declared terminal cases and some have unknowned illness until the killing was over. The retired police officer could see the past and the future by merely touching the person whether dead or alive.  He is not to change the future but merely to see what has happen or what is going to happen.  Finally, he has to take a bullet and survived after trying to save another policewomen who is supposed to die.  This is the order of the day is that if we change the future , we have to take the harm by ourself and it could be fatal.

The question of the day is whether mercy killing is correct or not and it was argued by the self declared saviour that for a moment of pain , the victims will save them months or years of suffering.  But the retired policeman argued that let nature takes it cost as we are not GOD and we should not decide for other people.  There is no right or wrong but it is better to let nature takes its course.

The story have its irony is that the retired policeman also carried out his mercy killing of his daughter who have suffered cancer for two years and at the moment of pity, he injected a drug overdose to relieve his daughter from agony.  What do you think ? is it right or wrong.

Namaste.

The raining Saturday night

Here I am rating waiting to sleep and the thunder was roaring outside while the Lightning was flashing . I have just came back after a dinner at May's Place.

The rain have not started yet but the whole sky was boiling and waiting for a spark to release the rain. The pressure is mounting and building up for an explosion. Just waiting.

My heart was heavy and my eyes were restless. My mind was roaming around while my body wants to hold my mind atill. What a struggle.  I have calm down my mind and find its pace. A stabilizing and a peaceful pace. I have to bring my mind to an alpha level so that I can go deep into the sleep. I have slow down my mind .

The topic at the dinner were about the hot weather and the boredom outside due to the heat. We wonder where is the excitement in our life. Tourist have been paying huge money to visit the places next to us while we feel it is boring even if we have not been there ourself. What an irony ?

Nevertheless , the night is going deeper and it os better to switch off and go into sleep until tomolo.

Namaste

Home alone

I have written an article about a man who live a routine social and working life is a big organization. He is alone most of the time doing his clerical job. He stays alone. Wake up every morning to take the train to work, do his job quietly, eat his lunch and dinner alone and spend his time alone in his apartment and this routine goes on for many years.  He became a part of a routine process.

One day, he died and for many months, nobody notice that he is absent from work until one day, his boss look for him and notice that another staff have been doing his job in his absence.  They went over to his apartment and he found that he has died many months ago.

As the world evolves and the usage of internet expand , there are many people who live alone and communicate through the internet tools and they are a few face to face encounters and many such people will die quietly and alone.

Why do I wrote this article ? It is because this incident happen to one of my staff's auntie who is suffering from cancer and choose to live alone to handle the disease. When she is seriously ill, she managed to call the hospital and the staff have to use fireman to break down the door for the nurse to take her to a hospital to spend the last day of her life.

I have heard of another incident where the neighbours have to called my brother in law's girlfriend to ask her to check on her brother after foul smell came from hsi apartment and when my brother in law climb into the apartment , he could see the rotting dead body .  He told us that he cannot forget the incident for the rest of his life.

Yes, the world is getting isolated through the internet media and relationship is by the way of a touch screen. If we have the money, we can use the private nurse or a private hospital  but for those, who only have enough to live on, this could be a painful end.

Namaste.

Another Hokkien New Year 2016

In Malaysia, we celebrate two Chinese new year  ie the 1st lunar day and the 9th Hokkien lunar year..  In Penang, the 2nd lunar year is more noisy and more celebrated than the 1st day of lunar year. Well, the story is very long and interesting and it is about the Hokkien people hiding in the sugar cane plantation to avoid the mass killing by their enemies  So, that is why sugar cane is very important on this occasion

At this moment , after 12 midnight , the fire crackers will be non stop to welcome the Hokkien new year and the Hokkien people will keep awake throughout the night to gain merit for their old age parents.  The longer the children stays up in the night , the longer will be their parent's life span. This belief have been transfer down through thousands of years.

The modern generation is not following this belief which make no sense for them as they google for the truth in the internet , Yes, the truth lies in the internet and everything is explained well

Now , it is the eight day of the lunar new year and it is roaring in with the fire monkey. I have just done my prayer in my sister's house and when I came back , my dog Brownie have gone out side her fence area and I have to get her into the compound and as I pull up the fence , the glutter fell infront of me . I was unhurt but shocked.  I must have used up some of my merit during the prayer and managed to escape the mishap.

Well, coming into the monkey year, where the monkey is very supportive of the snake , I hope I can get many help from my monkey friends and family members

Namaste.

If out of our control, why worry ?

Why worry ? worry for worrying sake.  If we cannot control the process  and the outcome , why worry ? Can worry help ? It is only the fear that make our worry . Whether it is positive or negative , can worry change the game. So , live with the best hope and let things unfold.

Worry manifest worry and fear initiate more fear. Yes, going into the uncertain is frightening but even that we have to still to go through it. If it has happen, then it has happen and we see how to deal with it. Of course, we hope that the negative thing did not happen on us. yes, we pray that the negative things would not fall on us.

During young, we have nothing to fear as we expect to wake up every morning and see our loved ones and enjoy the full day.  But when you arrived at an age , that waking up is getting less and less possible , it is uncertain that we will ever wake up the next day, than we will get more and more worried. But , can worry prolong our life or make us certain to wake up the next day ?

We live well everyday and prepare our wishes in advance and live with no regrets , that is the only way we can do rather than to worry of things that we cannot control or getting out of control.

We have seen the changes in old age and every year we advanced, there is something not quite right with our body.  Our teeths start to fell off, our hairs is getting less and our face gets bigger, our leg aches as we walk , the joints give a cracking sound and our bladder gets weaker and weaker and our sex life fell out of the window. This is a general deterioration of our body. Our mind is different as our mind can get shaper as we advanced into old age and it depends on the health of our mind . Definitely, it will get wiser.

Since age of our life is out of our control , so why worry ? Live well, eat well and laugh more.

namaste.

The monkey King 2

I watched the movie tput in this afternoon with my family members.  I have seen many version of the monkey king on movies , TV and CDs. It is amazing how it has evolved and the use of graphic technology in the movie , making it real and colourful.  The basic story line is the same and how the three disciples of the monks fight with the demons out to eat the flesh of the monk which will add thousand of years to their power to be more stronger.

The story line is predictable but the graphic display is excellent and smooth. The white bone witch was acted by Gong li and the monkey king is by Aroon Kwok. Their acting was superb and this kept the interest of the audience in place.

But, the real  essage is the Buddhist teaching of selfless and the unconditioned love exhibit by the Monk, His pure human eye deceived him many times by the demons but his commitment to love for human beings put him in a lot of dangers and only the monkey king help to save him In the end, the white bone witch was defeated by the monkey king and the monk sacrifice himself unconditionally to keep her soul and bring her soul in a journey to re-incarnation after he was killed by the monkey king at the request of the monkey king,  The monk's was supposed to return to his body in 7th days after he died. This unconditioned and infinite love for someone cannot be seen on earth anymore as such purity is only confine to a God.

According to one of the character in the film , the world have been messed up by greed, self , materialistic world , craving and evil.  There is too much evil and too few good men,

To change the world, we must change ourselves first as the world cannot be changed by critics. Change for the sake of change is meaningless as change must be for the better.

Namaste.

Kakikaki , Dato Kramat Road Penang

I want to share with all of you that I had a very good body massage this evening and the most enjoyable part was a leg work on the back and it is the first time, I realized that it is really a skill and the talent of the masseuse . I have never had such an experience after so many months of constantly getting a back massage.

The feeling after this evening's massage is that all the bones in my body have been re-set and my hunchback is been straighten.  I do not know whether it is actually in place but the feeling that I am more straight and it released back my flexibility to me.  It is just a feeling and it is really good.

When masseuse step on my back, it has to be well place and move in a pattern to avoid the stress to our back and at certain points the masseuse  use her point to put additional pressure to press the joints or the points. If it is done properly, your body will feel released and free. There should not be any pain but the feeling of released.

Additionally, with a good body rub and massage , it is really a wonderful experience. I highly recommend all of you to get a good massure and enjoy the wonderful  experience.

Namaste
