Beautiful Oblivion

Beautiful Oblivion (Words from Inside Out by Eve 6)

Its factual that there is no point in thinking about a futuristic death and not feeling Life in the Present.

Humans may be the only creatures on Earth who spend significant time thinking about the fact that someday their lives will end - Joan D Vinge

But does that mean to forget the fact that all Life and Non-Life is destined for an Oblivion - A beautiful One.

Everything just needs to move forward - with either faith in "Nothing" or in "Higher Intelligence". Because Faith  is essential in keep moving forward.

The Forest People and The Mountain People

In The Forest People and The Mountain People, anthropologist Colin Turnbull paints contrasting pictures of two societies. In the mountains, resources were scarce and people were always on the brink of starvation. The culture they evolved was horrific. Mothers abandoned babies to roving packs of feral children as soon as they had any chance of survival. Violence, brutality, and betrayal were the order of the day.

In contrast, the forest had plenty of resources. A person had only to spend half an hour a day providing for their basic needs. The forest culture was the mirror image of the mountain culture. Adults shared in raising children, who were nurtured and loved until they were quite ready to care for themselves. If one person accidentally killed another (deliberate crime was unknown), they were exiled, but they only had to go a little ways into the forest, and only for a few months, and even then the other tribespeople brought them gifts of food.

On a light note, its noticeable how people in different cultures sneeze . Some try their best to suppress the sneeze while others dont care about the sneeze. Given each might be having  their different belief system with the Sneeze.

The common thread

Feel about the essence of Life being encapsulated up by Layers.

Layer One- The physical body that assimilates information from the surrounding through its five senses. A System that gives neurological pain and pleasure.

Layer Two - The mind which generate thoughts and feelings . Influenced by the expereinces since Childhood and also by ones sexuality.

Beneath this two is the Essence of Life- the common thread which connects all.  Take off these two layers from the visualisation of Others, that is see others without this layers. They become like spirits. Everyone including oneself being exactly same.

Something like Neo recognising the matrix as green Code.

The God Card

Sometimes Life and stuff in Life can get real screwd  up that the only way to stay sane is to play the "faith card" to oneself.

And Not forgetting to look around and say "Thanks" because What one has now can be something one dreamt of sometime back

Shit!!

Feces.

Ugh!! Shit. Yuck!!. Disgusting to see or think about.

A thing inside every body(intestine). We all walk around with shit inside us. Still its degrading to see it outside.

Likewise, there may be crappy part in ones attitude. In ones Thoughts, Words or Actions. But still one can accept the ugly or beautiful truths and yet stand up  by not allowing the ugly aspect to get the better part of ones outlook and life.

Something different to concentrate on

Lately putting more concentration on getting the accent gives me less time to concentrate on managing the stutter. But for the good, this is the real therapeutic means of  finding a way to  forget about stutter by concentrating on something else. I can reach the accent somewhere near by constantly trying for it.

Its about finding the subtle differences and adapting to the other way. For Example - pronounciation of the word 'not'.  In my articulation of that word till now, the tongue contacts goes from "front to back" , but its from the "back to front" in the  accent here .

Higher Intelligence

There isn't a need to think. About the Past. Nor about the Future.

Every activity an end to itself. Living in the Present. Wrapping and throwing away all thoughts from the mind. The mind like a clean slate without the thoughts.

When  doing a job, its an end to itself. When  studying, its an end to itself. When going for a walk, its an end to itself. When  breathing, its an end to itself.

If its happiness, its an entity different from the consciousness. If its physical pain, its still an entity belonging to the body, different from consciousness. If its hope, its again an entity different from the body. The consiousness just being  a silent spectator.

So who will think and whom to trust?

The higher intelligence.


The higher intelligence that caused the big bang , causing stars to implode and explode, causing civilizations to rise and fall. Letting the higher intelligence to be at work rather than human thoughts, actions or words..

Reading out in school.

I remember how much I hated classes in School where teachers asked students to read out. Would always look to my watch with a panic attack wanting the time to go so that the bell rang and my turn to read would not come up.

Once I was picked up to read and i started with my disfluent way. Teacher said "If you are going to read like that, im going to send you out of the class". One of my mates enlightened her about me - "He always speaks like that" and then I was asked to sit down.

Once another teacher made me to read much longer in class telling others "Dont wonder why i made Shorn to read. I have a relative with a stutter who became a priest in a church. Shorn can come out of it".

In another instance, when I was asked to read and a mate updated the teacher about the stutter . she asked me "Why didnt you tell me before. I know ways to cure it".

In much younger upper primary times, when asked to recite a long answer to a fellow classmate, I remember she tried to look sideways as if not noticing me, but still listening to me - Maybe she wanted me to know that she isn't noticing my stutter or maybe she did not want to watch the spasms of blocking in my face.

All that time, i was trying to hide my stutter, trying to somehow fluent and say or read it like others and ended up stuttering as always. It was all obvious to my mates and people around me, even in child hood. 

Now  i say about my stutter rather than anyone else reminding about my stutter.

My heart goes out to all those children with stutter who maybe still continuing with a not full fledged school  life because of their stutter.

Looking forward to a better future where stuttering associations and support groups lessen the psychological burden on the "Child Who Stammers".

Talk to Consiousness

One find a 100 dollar note in the floor.

Why should one return it?

Maybe Because of morality !!  But Given one assumes that morality is something illusive, farce and non-existant.

Maybe Because one expect God to reward in future someway!! But Given one assumes that god maybe non-existant or maybe that god gives a crap about such stuff. 

Maybe because one want others to know about their honesty(satisfaction of ego)!! But Given one gave it back it such a way that no one else knew one gave it back.

Maybe because one dont want money because one have enough in one's wallet !! But Given one needs money to pay ones bills and is also in debt.

Maybe because when one talks to his/her own consiousness in the end of the day, one feels good about it. Maybe thats it!!

Why do i say "I am a person with stutter".  Maybe because in the end of the day i feel good about it in consiousness accepting the speech impediment i have.

Goods

To get to know a new culture, one needs to know the products (and services)  they consume.

Feeling indeed lucky to work part time in a Kiwi Supermarket selling all sorts of General Merchandise. Meeting the gentle Kiwi colleagues and customers . Stacking the Shelves with Goods and tidying them up at night could not have a deeper meaning.

Words from KiwiLand

Awesome.

Lovely.

Good on ya , Mate.

Cheers.

No worries.

One can effectively live here even  if these are the only words one knows. :-)

Appreciation And Flattery

Appreciation is often required in human interaction to support each other.

But there is one other dangerous thing - Flattery.
Flattery is murder. Something like Slitting the throat of the victim and watching the blood spilling, with a smile.
Because flattery is meant to kill. To rut the mind.

Extreme environment

Extreme environments can strengthen ones temperament . When it comes to temperature, the environment can be hot or  cold. Taking a cold shower in the morning can quite harden up the body for the day.

I personally have a taste for cold temperature. Temperature in tropics can be mild, but generally skewed towards hot.

The reason i  prefer countries like  New Zealand and Canada - Cold and less populated. If in India -  would have to move high up Himalayas to find similar conditions.

Wonder there are no developed countries in the tropic zone. Developed countries are mostly always nearer to the polar regions. Does it have anything to do with the temperature or maybe just because industrial revolution started around Britain and they moved only to places that are similar to their home climate.
