Ego Exposed!

Feeling super low morale today.

Not that I’m not aware of the truth about myself, but having another awakening and realization of how truly WEAK and INSIGNIFICANT i really am, not to mention what a baby cub I still am makes me feel like running away from my own weaknesses, dig a hole in the ground and bury myself. Not that it will help. But at least the ego can stopped itself from being exposed by me and save further embarrassment.

Think the ego suffered another major reality check today. Either that, or a part of me that was once hidden has been jolted out of its well of ignorance and awakened to the truth about its ignorance. Or both.

Now I’ve gotta think of ways to consistently keep the ego in check so it wun come bouncing back stronger, like it always did after a major setback.

Hmm….. how to transcend the ego?

I wish I knew.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love studying!

I feel like mugging hard today.

Sometimes I got so involved with so many things that I forgot I’m a student.

I miss my studying.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you looking for any of the following?

1) Health- increasing your energy level, or improving your general health

2) Social Magnet- If you want to be a social magnet, boost your interpersonal skills, discover the formula to relationship and attraction, find out what it takes to be a charismatic person, attract jobs/ opportunities and the RIGHT people in your life…

3) Transforming Your Life- If there’re areas/domains in your life where you would like to improve /transform, or you would like to accelerate performance in certain areas in your life etc…

4) Tuition- Looking for a tutor that specializes in POA, Humanities and Marketing

5) Skills specific training- Honing your Public speaking skills? How about resume writing, business/marketing plan writing know-how, image consulting?

6) Finances- you simply want more while protecting what you have now

7) Others: __________________________ (state what you need)

The RESOURCES you NEED is just a phone call away…

CALL ME.

PS: Sometimes, all you need is to just ask. ; )

Everyone is Your Mirror

Whatever you see in others is a reflection of yourself- Whether you like it
or not.

· You can only see things in others that exist in
yourself.

· If you’re bothered by someone who you think is rude,
then you also have the capacity to be rude.

· When you feel uncomfortable or judgmental about someone
else’s actions or behavior, it’s because they remind you of what you don’t yet
love about yourself.

· You love yourself as much as you love others; you love
others as much as you love yourself.

(My comments: notice most, if not all, religions emphasize that you love thy
neighbours or your enemies, because when you accept them, you accept the parts
of them in yourself.)

Self-reflection is the
school of wisdom.
— Baltasar Gracian y Morales

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is Nothing to Forgive

In order to forgive someone, you
must first judge something they did as bad or wrong. But to sit in judgment is
to behave as if we know everything there is to know about a person or a
situation. The truth is, we generally know very little about the big picture or
the grand design.

Our limited vision and self-centered perspectives may sway us to believe that
what we see and experience is all bad or wrong, but the universe maintains a
perfect balance. Everyone who exists, and everything that occurs, is an
integral part of the master plan to help us learn lessons of unconditional love
and realize our own true potential.

(My comments: When you misperceived that someone had done something that needed
forgiveness, you are not truly free from yourself or that person. If one
like to be truly free, it must not just be done on an intellectual level, but in your heart (emotional level) as well. There is a difference between
forgiveness and the true state of unconditional love.

The truth is…

· The universe is governed by the laws of perfect
balance.

· The state of unconditional love is beyond blame,
and beyond forgiveness.

· To love others with all your mind, heart, and soul
is to love for the sake of love.

· The universe doesn’t make mistakes.

I’m Really Bored

Sigh…

I’m having the intense boredom again.

Bored playing the same old game of life.

Every week is the same old thing- listening to ppl. gossiping about their lives. But it’s the same old stories that come in different variations. After a while, you’ll realize ppl. really have nothing much interesting to gossip about.

I’m also bored reading books. The books are always talking about their views on life. Same old topics, different perspectives.

I’m also bored blogging. Same ppl. reading different blog entries, but i’m always blogging about the same thing, just different variations.

I’m really bored taking exams. I’m always taking exams for different modules.

I’m bored going for meetings. I’m always meeting ppl. but for different purpose.

I’m bored falling in love, being in love and out of love, and repeating the silly pattern over and over again. I’m even more bored of listening to other ppl. telling me their similar patterns of falling in love, being in love and out of love. Gosh!

I’m bored seeing my patterns repeating in others’ lives. And bored of ppl. sharing how their patterns are repeated in their frens’ lives.

Why is the human race so caught up with these similar patterns over and over again for eternity?

Dun they have better things to do?

Sheesh…

I want to transcend this boredom.

Let me get out of this trap soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Game of Life

C’mon Universe…

You have challenged me to play the game of FULLY LIVE and FULLY LOVE. I’ve accepted your challenges before courageously, and play my part well…

Give me smt. BIGGER…

I want BETTER opportunities than what I have now…

I want more precise and effective way of CREATING POSSIBILITIES and VALUES for others…

I want BIGGER capacity to contain these new challenges with the speed, effectiveness and precision to juggle all simultaneously…

I want the ability to EXECUTE the challenges effectively…

I want to GROW BIGGER than Who I Am now…

C’mon… Bring it On! Give me new games to play…

I want to be tempted… I want a challenge… I want a fight…

To all FISHERMEN… I dun care what you’re fishing for…

I may just be the FISH you want…

Come come…

FISH ME!!!

Sigh… let me get out of this ocean soon. I want to explore other oceans.

Let me get bored telling you how bored I am.

Ah har!

I found how to overcome my intense boredom- by giving the brain a good exercise.

I bought 3 excellent books at Borders a couple of days ago:

1) The undiscovered self, by C.G.Jung

Jung is a famous psychiatrist-turned-philosopher. Those whom have heard of Sigmund Freud would know that he’s the grandfather of psychology, delving into the realms of psycho-analysis and the conscious world.

Jung is one of his pupils, and those whom want to know more about "what is consciousness?" Start by reading this book.

It’s a very thin book btw… but very concise.

2) The Universe in a single atom, by Dalai Lama

In this book, the Dalai Lama covers the topics of "nothingness", "consciousness" and how quantum physics come into play to understand the beginnings of the Universe. He also presented controversial topics like "could there be a first cause before the Big Bang?"

It’s my current fave book. I was trembling with excitement when I read it ‘cos the book gave me a gd insight on how intuition came about (even though the word ‘intuition’ was never brought up in the book as a discussion.)

It’s a little chim reading though. I’ll try to summarize the key concepts on my blog after i’m done with the book. See the word -"try to?" Yea…

3) The Art of Seduction

The title of the book suggests it all. Need I say more?

Actually, I bought the book ‘cos the name "Don Juan" was mentioned. Gasps!!!  The author sure knows me well…

Argh… Where can I buy the DVD- Don Juan DeMarco?!? If anyone come across this movie at any shop, lemme noe k? *grateful*

And if anyone of you know of any good Zen philosophy books, let me know k?

I’m also looking for this book- "Beingness and Nothingness" by some philospher called John… Satre.

If anyone knows where I can borrow or buy it, or even the full name of the author, pls lemme noe too.

Cheers!

I’m overwhelmed with this intense feeling of boredom today.

I hope i will get bored with this boredom and move on soon enough.

Arghhhhhhhhhh………

Inspirational Quotes

Every morning, we wake up to a fresh start of making conscious choices of how we want to run our day.

We can always choose to be happy or be depressed.

We can always choose to be disciplined or be lazy.

We can always choose to be responsible or be irresponsible.

We can always choose to walk the higher path or walk down the old path we got familiar and attached to.

We can always choose to be the master of our destiny or be trapped by our personal restrictions.

We can always choose to fly like a bird or be trapped by the cage of life.

Every choice we made will determine our fate.

There are choices that will forward you, make you stay stagnant or hold you back from evolving.

Qns is- What are the choices you are going to make today?

Whatever choice you make, choose powerfully!!!

Food for thought

Socrates, the renowned Greek philosopher, once said this, "An unexamined life is not worth living."

Have you examined your life?

Sigh…

For almost 8 years, I’ve got a serious problem with time. Not about time management, but an issue with being on time for appointments.

Of ‘cos, assisting at ECI has been great training for me ‘cos I’m rarely ever late for any of their events due to the strict corporate culture there. But personally, i’ll cut myself some slack most of the time.

I’ve always written down as one of my new year’s resolutions to be on time but never really have the discipline for more than 2 months, which was my longest record I think.

Think it’s high time i alter my framework.

I’m gonna make a declaration here:

I will be on time for all appointments and meetings from now on.

And anyone whom read this blog entry has the permission to kick my butt.

But I won’t give you the chance to.

We shall see.

Discipline, discipline and discipline.

Add a dose of love.

And a teaspoon of flow.

I’ve been attracting alot of ppl. into my life lately, particularly pastors or philosophical ppl. whom have brought up the topic of "What is the truth?" or "What is consciousness?"

Here’s some of what I got out of those conversation that I would like to share with my dear friends, especially to my conscious friends.

For those whom have taken TCC or POS, just because you are conscious and awakened doesn’t mean that your world view is necessarily correct or right, or your path is the only path to walk. It’s not about what’s right or wrong, but "where are you coming from", the causality of events that leads to "who you are" and "what works for you"…

All roads lead to Rome, and all paths lead to the same destination and expresses the same truth. The religions may have different perspective to same issues, but outcome is still the same- To allow individuals to come closer to LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM, CLARITY etc.

There’s no such thing as "my path is the correct one", just as there’s no such thing as a one-size-fit-all teaching methodology. So what’s impt is that your path works for you, and you’ve made a powerful decision to walk your path with the highest principles (such as integrity, courage, love etc etc) that will forward you in your personal evolution.

If you allowed your ego to surface when others from other paths (be it christianity, islam, buddhists, psychology, philosophical or physics disciplines) are defending theirs, then your dismissal of the world view will close doors on your own evolution.

True, these ppl. may not be awakened. True, this ppl. never experience zen nor understand what consciousness mean. True, your life is transformed. True, you walk the middle/ highest path. True, your spiritual growth is tremendous. True, you have figured out "what is love" and "who am I" or "what’s the meaning of life".. blah blah blah….

But, there’s so much to learn from all religions- Zen and discipline from Buddhist teachings, the realm of GOD/ ALLAH or Jesus/ Mohammad from Islam, Catholic and Christianity, and all the other secular disciplines have principles and practices that are worthy of learning and exploring.

At the end of the day, are you able to challenge what you have learnt?

Are you able to come from the space of "nothing-ness" and explore "possibilities"?

If not, then you might be like those frens of yours whom defended their beliefs so blindly and strongly, whom think that their truths are the right ones, whom risk living in their world of delusion, and refused to jump out of their comfort zone to forward themselves in personal evolution.

My dear friends, explore the grass on the other sides.

And remember, Walk the Highest Path (or Middle Path as I would prefer to coin) with your Consciousness.
