“THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY
REVERE ME IS TO EXAMINE AND COMPREHEND MY TEACHING”
| *EXCESS REGARD (REVERENCE) TO VERY MANY
DIGNITARIES – RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL R SOCIAL OFTEN MAKES THESE PERSONS FEEL SUPERIOR TO THE RESET, NOT ONLY SPECIFICALLY BUT GENERALLYOR INTELLECTUALLY AS WELL! THE BUDDHA SEEMS TO HAVE WELL AVOIDED THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH SITUATION. |

IDOLIZING RITUALS AND BELIEF
RELIGION*(1)
(ACCOMMODATING THE APPARENT)
*(1) RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM OR FANTASISM IS THE MOST VICIOUS CRIME PERPETRATED AGAINST THE BIRTH – RIGHT OF HUMANS: THE UTILIZATION OF THEIR INTELLECT, OR THE RIGHT TO REASON ONLY
FANTASTIC WHETHER THEY BE RELIGIOUS, RACIAL OR POLITICAL, CAN BREED TERRORIST – RABID HUMANS
(WITH THE FADING OF COMMUNISM THE TREND IS FOR POLITICAL FANTATICM TO ACQUIRE A RACIAL OR RELIGIOUS HUE; UT THIS SHOULD BE SHORT – LIVED EXCEPT FOR DETERMINED COHESIVE GROUPS IS THAT THEY TEND TO CURTAIL COMPASSION TOWARDS OUTSIDERS, ALSO, THEIR “SENSE OF VALUES” GETS TOTALLY
LOP-SIDED, WITH BASIC MENTAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS BEING IGNORED DUE TO SOME
TRIVIAL TRADITION OF THINKING. HUMAN INTEGRATION MUST BE INTERNATIONAL AND NOT SEQUESTERED IN ANY WAY. WITH A COSMIC RELIGION AND COMMON GOALS, SUCH INTEGRATION IS POSSIBLE. )
27C1. THE X FACTORS!
THERE ARE MANY PERSONS WHO HAVE LIVED NORMAL, ROUTINE LIVES AS FAR BACK AS THEY COULD REMEMBER. AND COPED WITH THE ACCEPTED UPS AND DOWNS IN THE SAME STOIC MANNER. THEN SUDDENLY, IF A PERSON’S WORLD WERE TO DALL APART; AND CONTINUED TO DO SO; WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE? PARTICULARLY IF THE ROUTINE REMEDIES WHICH WERE SO EFFECTIVE BEFORE, NOW SEEMED HOPELESS. UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, IT WOULD NOT
BE SURPRISING FOR THE TRAUMATIZED PERSON TO SHOW SIGNS OF STRAIN, AND EVEN “CRACK” UNDER THE ONSLAUGHT. THIS SET OF EVENTS IS NOT RARE. HENCE THE URGENCY OF A SOLUTION.
WHAT IS OF GREATEST SIGNIFICANCE IS THE NORMAL ROUTINE WAY OF LIVING, UP TO THE TURN AROUND? IT IS ALMOST OBVIOUS THAT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A CHANGE IN ONE’S ‘SENSE OF VALUES’ OR PRIORITIES THAT DETERMINED ONE’’S WAY OF LIVING. SCIENCE HAS SO FAR NOT BEEN ABLE TO ISOLATE THE MIND (THOUGH NOT SHORT OF MIND SPECIALIST). NEITHER DOES SCIENCE
KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE CONSCIOUS, SUB-CONSCIOUS OF EVEN THE UNCONSCIOUS. HENCE IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE HUMAN KNOWS VERY LITTLE OF WHAT EFFECTS HIM OR HER – SUPERNATURALLY. IN THE LIGHT OF ALL THIS
IGNORANCE, THE CURE SHOULD REFRAIN FROM ADDING MORE DOUBTFUL XFACTORS; BUT INSTEAD, REVERT TO THE ORIGINAL ‘SENSE OF VALUES’ AND WAY OF LIVING.
27C2 THE X-FACTORS (PART II)
THE ACCEPTED FORMS OF RELIGION, OR RELIGIOUS PRACTICES AND PRAYER, IF THEY WERE STRAIGHT FORWARD WITHOUT PERVERSION OR DECEPTION, HAVE BEEN FOUND BENEFICIAL TO THE HUMAN. THIS IS MOSTLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD A MODERATING INFLUENCE ON THE DAY TO DAY LIVING OF HUMANS. WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A SUPERIOR RIGHTEOUS POWER CONTROLLING THESE EFFECTS, IS NOT VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE MOMENT. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT ‘A PROCESS’ HAS ENABLED THE HUMANS TO LEAD NORMAL
ROUTINES LIVES’ WITHOUT AN EXCESS OF INEXPLICABLE TRAUMATIC
EXPERIENCES – IN ANY OR MANY FORMS OF ILLS. WHAT IS LIKELY TO HAVE UPSET
THE APPLE – CART, SO AS TO SAY, IS THE GRADUAL GROWTH
OF EXTREMISTS TO THESE SEDATE RELIGIONS; AND THE SELF-PROCLAIMED ‘GOD MEN’, WHO SEEMED TO HAVE CREPT OUT FROM UNDERNEATH ROCKS? THESE TWO X-FACTORS OF EXTREMISTS AND ‘GOD MEN’ ARE TESTS FOR HUMAN INTELLECT – WHY AND HOW. IT MUST HAVE BEEN SUCH INQUIRY THAT MADE THE HUMAN STAND UP IN EVOLUTION. WHY SHOULD INQUIRY BE ABANDONED NW? THUS IT SEEMS THAT THE OLD ORDER OF VALUES AND PRIORITIES MUST NO BE PUSHED ASIDE FOR SOME DUBIOUS GAINS. THEY SHOULD STAY IN PLACE UNTIL THEY ARE TRULY READY TO MOVE FORWARD AS A COSMIC REGION!
(RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTALISTS OR FANATICS. EXTREMISTS ARE THOSE WHO ELABORATE ON ONE OR MORE ASPECTS OF A
RELIGION, AS AN AUTHORITY; MOSTLY FOR PERSONAL GAIN.)………………………………..
27. D1
R E S P E C T
IS
SINCERE ADMIRATION OUT OF KNOWING*(01)
OR
A FANATICAL ADORATION OUT OF FAITH
?*(02)
*(01) ONE CAN RESPECT ANOTHER FOR WISDOM (WHICH IS THE PRUDENT UTILIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE INTEGRITY, SINCERITY OR ANY OTHER VIRTUE 😉 BUT THIS HAS TO ARISE ONLY OUT OF KNOWING THE OTHER’S TRUE
MOTIVATIONS AND CHARACTER SIMILARLY, ONE MUST KNOW BEFORE CHASTISING TOO.
THE BUDDHA QUALIFIES AS A SCIENTIST, BY REQUESTING THAT EVERY ASPECT
OF HIS TEACHING BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY BEFORE IT IS ACCEPTED ACTUALLY HE HAS GONE FURTHER, BY STATING THAT THE PROOF OR GENUINENESS OF HIS TEACHING SHOULD BE JUDGED PURELY BY THE RESULTS IT HAS TO PRODUCE HERE AND NOW! SO WE AS SCIENTISTS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO COMMENCE INVESTIGATING FROM THE VERY GRASS-ROOTS, AS NO RESULTS TO
THE TEACHING HAVE BEEN EVIDENT IN LIVING MEMORY
*(02) IF HUMANS REFRAINED FROM QUESTIONING OWING TO BLASPHEMY, THEN WE WOULD STILL HAVE BEEN IN THE DARK AGES AND IF BLASPHEMY SHOULD WARRANT A DEATH SENTENCE; WE STILL ARE IN THE ‘DARK AGES’.
(WHETHER THEY BE HURRICANES IN BANGLADESH AND WARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, OR FAMINES IN SOMALIA AND CONFLICTS IN BOSNIA; THE MUSLIMS SEEM TO BE AT THE RECEIVING END. THE CAUSE? ONE THING IS CLEAR NO OTHERS KILL HUMANS AS A PART OF THEIR RELIGION? THIS MAY APPEAR TOO HARSH; BUT AMPUTATION IS THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE LIFE, WHEN GANGRENE SETS IN. AND SINCE TRUE ISLAM IS THE LINK BETWEEN MORALITY AND REALITY; GANGRENE HAS DEFINITELY SET IN! )
27 D
ACQUIRING SELD
CONFIDENCE
—— BY THOROUGHLY AND
CRITICALLY EXAMINING THE
TEACHING*(01) (EHI PASSIKO tAys miaisflda)
IS THE UNQUALIFIED RESQUISITE OF THE
BUDDHA.*(02)
*(01) TO ACQUIRE CONFIDENCE OR MASTERY OVER ANYTHING, AN ABSOLUTE AND CONTINUING MENTAL SCRUTINY IS ESSENTIAL. THIS APPLIES TO A MASTERY OVER PHYSICAL SKILLS TOO. (FUNDAMENTALISTS GAIN THEIR CONFIDENCE BY ‘BLINKERS’)
*(02) THROUGHOUT THE BUDDHA’S TEACHING, EMPHASIS IS ALWAYS ON INVESTIGATION AND A SELF REALIZATION. THIS IS VIVIDLY SEEN IN HIS SUGGESTIONS (HE NEVER INSTRUCTS – ONLY SUGGESTS) TO ESTABLISH ONESELF TO REALIZE THE TRUTH. THE FIRST REQUIREMENT IS TO REFRAIN
FROM RELYING TOO MUCH (AS AN END IN IT SELF) ON MERE MORALITY AND
PRAYER. THE SECOND IS TO DISPENSE WITH FALLS VIEWS OF HOW ONE
CAME TO BE, WHAT WILL BECOME OF ONE ON DEATH (OF THE BODY). AND THE THIRD IS TO HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THE BEST WAY TO REALIZING THE TRUE
NATURE OF THINGS IS BY THE USE OF THE EIGHT FOLD PATH (CONTAINED
IN THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS)
THE UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS OF TODAY HAVE NOT BEEN THERE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION. THEY ARE PERHAPS, ONLY A FEW MILLION YEARS OLD; WITH LITTLE CAPACITY TO EVOLVE FURTHER. WHEREAS THE ORIGINAL UNICELLULAR LIFE, WERE THE PROGENITORS OF ALL BODILY BEINGS; AND WOULD HAVE HAD VAST CAPACITIES TO EVOLVE, OR HIGH MENTAL CONSTANTS. THIS MEANS THAT THE ALGAE, BACTERIA AND VIRUSES OF TODAY WERE SLOW STARTERS IN THE PROCESS OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION. HOWEVER THIS APPLIES ONLY TO THE PRESENT CYCLE OF EVOLUTION AND DEVOLUTION. AND THE UNITS OF THESE ORGANISMS ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM THE REST, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THEIR MIND STRENGTHS (OR THE FUNCTIONING CAPACITIES) OF THE INDIVIDUAL UNITS OF MIND HAVE LESS POTENTIAL!
