全國徵文賽頒獎禮
作品比去年微增
(吉隆坡7日訊)校友聯總代總會長陳鵬士指出,今年全國徵文比賽共收獲100份作品,雖比去年95份略增,但卻實際反映當今學生不注重華文。

他說,今年參加各州華教常識比賽人數達1733人,可見學生對華教發展歷史有濃厚的興趣,使這場比賽達致發揚中華文化的作用。

“現今學生要兼顧課業及課外活動,導致他們對參加比賽的興趣欠缺,甚至還出現教師請求學生參加的情況。”

他是在第7屆各州華教常識比賽及第14屆全國徵文比賽頒獎禮上致詞時,這么說。

出席者有校友聯總顧問周素英。

第7屆各州華教常識比賽是由校友聯總主辦、董總及教總協辦及各州校友聯承辦﹔第14屆全國徵文比賽則由校友聯總會主辦、各州校友聯協辦辦。

陳鵬士指出,教育部決定將華文及淡米爾文納入國小正課,以吸引更多非土著學生入讀國小,惟他希望,政府勿在華小缺乏師資情況下,調動華小教師到國小任教。

2012會是世界末日嗎?2012 is the end?

2012年到底是不是世界末日,還是會有大災難,我其實不懂。我們只能以歷史來分析。
I am not able to tell you whether 2012 would be the end of our civilization as mention in the fiction or any other prediction. However, we should look at the history and analyze from it.

首先我們看看2012的天文現象。
1st, we may look at the astronomic phenomena during 2012.

5月21日——日環食,在下午2時左右,中國華南,臺灣,日本南部可見。
May 20 – Annular solar eclipse, a Sunday. Path of annularity runs through the Pacific Ocean from northern China to California.

6月6日——金星凌日。
June 6 – The second and last solar transit of Venus of the century. The next pair is predicted to occur in 2117 and 2125.

11月13日——土全食在澳洲北部及南太平洋可見。
November 13 – Total solar eclipse (visible in northern Australia and the South Pacific).

November 28 – Penumbral lunar eclipse.
December 3 – Jupiter in opposition.

On the sun, the solar maximum of Solar Cycle 24 in the 11-year sunspot cycle is forecast to occur. Solar Cycle 24 is regarded to have commenced January 2008, and on average will reach its peak of maximal sunspot activity around 2012. The period between successive solar maxima averages 11 years (the Schwabe cycle), and the previous solar maximum of Solar Cycle 23 occurred in 2000–2002.During the solar maximum the sun's magnetic poles will reverse.

由于本人是法律系學生,不是天文學家。對天文現象了解有限,暫時只能提提金星凌日。
I am not able to look through all the phenomena because i am not scientist, i am just a art background student.

金星凌日是当金星运行到太阳和地球之间时发生的一种罕见的天文现象。当金星凌日出现,从地球上可以看到金星像一个黑色圆盘从太阳表面划过。通常都是用小时来计算金星凌日的时间(2004年和2012年,持续大概6小时)。原理上类似于日食,虽然金星的直径有差不多月亮的4倍。我们从地球上看金星要小的多是因为她离地球更远一些。

歷史上發生金星凌日的日期
1396年11月23日
1518年5月25–26日
1526年5月23日
1631年12月7日
1639年12月4日
1761年6月6日
1769年6月3–4日
1874年12月9日
1882年12月6日
2004年6月8日

在這段期間發生的自然世界(都在一年左右)
1)1518~1850年小冰期(little ice age),1518開始

2)嘉靖五年(西元 1526 年)浙江、江西、福建各省大旱。

3)1631年(明崇祯4年)在常德附近发生了一次破坏性地震

4)1639-1640陕西、河南、山东蝗、旱灾,大饥,人相食。

5)1761年8月洪水是黄河三门峡-花园口区间的一次罕见特大洪水

6)1769年圣纳扎罗教堂蕾击

7)1874年9月22日——甲戌风灾。
当天一个强烈台风在珠江口附近登陆,先后吹袭香港及澳门,远至广州亦受灾害。在香港,台风造成2,000多人死亡,成为香港有记录至今第三多人死亡的风灾。风暴期间,千间房屋被摧毁,维多利亚港内十多艘远洋船只沉没,数百只中国帆船沉没。澳门则有5000多人死亡,数千只渔船沉没,大量楼宇倒塌,损失达200万银圆。珠江口西岸从香山至顺德、广州俱出受飓风及风暴潮袭击,“围堤破裂,水高二丈”。是战前及十九世纪仅知侵袭香港及澳门最强的台风之一。

8)1883年7月28日——意大利伊斯基亚发生地震,2000人丧生。

9)1883年8月27日——印尼喀拉喀托火山爆发以及火山导致的海啸造成約36000人死亡。

10)2004年2月24日-摩洛哥发生地震,571人死亡。
11)2004年9月16日——飓风伊万席卷加勒比海和美国多个地区,造成至少103人死亡。
12)2004年9月23日——美國圣海伦斯火山喷发。
13)2004年12月26日-2004年印度洋大地震引起印度洋沿岸巨大海啸,对印度洋沿岸国家造成巨大破坏,有超过20万人在此次海啸事件中丧生,其中有许多为外国游客。

中國地震局研究員,中國地球物理學會天災預測專業委員會副主任耿慶國說,研究了『金星凌日』的規律後,他采用取象比類的方法對2187年來的『金星凌日』與黃河中下游發生大洪水的年份整個進行比較分析,發現二 者存在相關性,尤其是公元前184年至公元60年期間(相隔243年)黃河中下游發生大洪水的年份,與公元1761年至公元2004年期間(相隔243 年)黃河中下游發生洪水的年份,存在著極好的同步性和一致性。

除了黃河以外,他發現『金星凌日』到來的前一年淮河往往有大洪水。例如,1518年、1761年、2004年『金星凌日』到來的前一年,即 1517年、1760年、2003年,淮河流域多出現洪澇異常。眾所周知,2003年,中國淮河流域發生了自1954年以來的最大的流域性大洪水,與 1517年和1760年的淮何流域大洪水互相印證。

下一輪金星凌日發生在2012年6月5–6日,會有什么事情,我不知道。不要忘記,2012年除了金星凌日,還有日環食、土全食、Penumbral lunar eclipse、Jupiter in opposition、太陽風造成的磁場變化等等。

Healthy and Vital Politics: The Power of Love Against Fear and Hatred -- Healing Against Harm

What! Politics and spirituality!?! Duh? Hello. If you like freedom, democracy, have any sense of justice and fairness, and wish your children to have adequate food, shelter, energy, and medical care. Then being engaged with functional political-economic systems in that sense is excellent as one is either participating in oppression or tyranny on one hand, or on the other hand participating in alleviating injustice, oppression, and exploitation of self and others. If a person does not care about these issues, or would rather believe that autocratic forces, God, or trusted authorities will be taking care of these matters for one, then keep dreaming, wishing, and hoping. Good luck!

Politics, like it or not, pervades modern life. It is observed in the funding for war and the lack of funding for peace. In the amount of money allocated toward gulags and prisons, or on the other hand toward educational and economic opportunities for all. It can increase environmental toxins and disease, or it can limit and decrease such. It can ensure the free dissemination of information and data, or it can restrict it. It can foster policies of scarcity and competition, or on the other hand policies of abundance and cooperation.

Thus political-economic systems can be an amazing force for freedom, justice, peace, abundance, and creative fulfillment when not manipulated selfishly by greedy, selfish, and oppressive dark forces. Politics impacts people and other living beings in many ways. It can come down to the bombs falling over head and killing you or your loved ones (if you live in a war zone or soon to be one). Politics governs the quality of our air, water, food, energy, and healthcare. For human beings and their families (all of us0 its policies determine if you can use a quality library, find employment after fifty, be exposed to toxic pollutants and risk environmental disease, be sent off to fight in foreign invasions or not, be robbed by the government or be robbed by desperate "others", be jailed, tortured, beaten, or punished for your beliefs or dissent, etc.

Political policies have permeated all walks of daily life, unless one can find a perfectly isolated wilderness left alone in its pristine unexploited beauty or else attempt to view the heavens with telescopes and satellites all day long in ivory towers. It's not only difficult, but really impossible, to escape or deny, while money no longer promises to immunize one from this "reality". One may invest in expensive security guards, security systems, satellites, mercenaries, threats of torture and incarceration, escaping via spaceships, or attempt to buy tickets to heaven, but such ways of thinking only isolates one more, placing one in a very narrow self made prison of fear.

In short, many greedy self interest groups having their own agenda attempt to exploit people and resources, educational and health care institutions, regulatory institutions, government agencies, politicians, commerce, the environment, the financial institutions, and the economy incessantly for their narrow-minded agendas. Such political influences have to be recognized in order to rectify it. Ignoring it simply allows one to become unknowingly victimized and manipulated by it unconsciously harboring a delusion that one is somehow franchised as long as one goes along with the rules. That's an attitude held over from serfdom (read slavery). Worse it's an illusion. When serfs/slaves become worthless to the lords of greed, they are disposed of in an efficient manner. All human beings are subject to old age, sickness, and death and hence to the exploiter mentality, they have become useless.

In fact the manipulators and rulers would prefer that one did not participate in the political process (democracy), and hence the dark side of "politics" is thus promoted, discouraging people from becoming actively engaged for claiming responsibility for their future and future generations, righting injustice, creating a sustainable life supporting environment, and helping others to awaken to their innate creative fulfillment. In this latter sense political activity can be the road to social happiness and justice, abundance, sustainability, freedom, and spiritual fulfillment. For awakened , informed, and human beings who still have a living sense of justice (honoring the lifeforce within and without), political activity can be very empowering when regarded in this light. It can be the means to assure the happiness of our future great great grandchildren should we dare to broaden the scope of our vision and activities accordingly.

Authentic or real politics is essential to a democracy and a happy people. That does not mean power politics for power's sake like most of today's expedient (read deceptive and corrupt) politics has become today. Rather by real and authentic politics, it is meant a system where people have a say in governing themselves and changing their own future and destiny in the direction that is best for them and their children according to their own values, rather than to be governed by would be slave owners.

That sounds simple enough doesn't it, but I think that most Americans don't know the value of freedom (democracy) because they don't want to be bothered being informed. Democracy can't work without people being informed, of course. The same about the economy. It ain't complex either. Just because the "experts" say it is complicated and complex, it doesn't make it so. Real economic systems based on life affirming values are simply methods to efficiently expedite, distribute, and access water, food, energy, transportation, and medical care amongst a group of people. When that is accomplished expediently, then any time and resources left over is used for recreation, free time, creativity, and individual pursuits. If "free time" is becoming less available or vital resources/services dwindling, then that is a clear indicator that the economic system is not working and requires adjustment. In the end an authentic political-economic system is compassionate; i.e., it serves the needs of the people and future generations. That way we look forward to the morrow, free from worry, stress, or apprehension.

This kind of politics is reflected in wisdom, light, love, vision, abundance, justice, and ahimsa which is natural to an awakened heart. For those mired in darkness, fear, greed, selfishness, scarcity, and competition, they can not recognize it as such, rather they will project their own selfish motives upon "others" because that is what composes their own mindset or "world view" -- that. which is within their own minds and conveniently placate their egoic self deceit by imagining and imputing that love, compassion, justice, and altruism is its opposite; i.e., a disguise for jealousy and greed.

This article was originally written as an introduction to Rainbowbody's Healthy and Green Politics page, but it grew naturally as a seed into a flower of its own, and hence has been continued here. Here we will show that there is a direct interactive correspondence between man's institutionalized apparatus which externalizes and propagates ignorance and suffering through events, and the pre-existing institutionalization of ignorance and suffering that resides in the human psyche. We will show that there exists a direct correspondence between human behavior, activities, and hence the institutions that man creates as being direct results of human consciousness (a prior mindset) which is either lacking consciousness or is on the other hand informed and wise.

Consciousness or its lack shape and/or permit either abuse, exploitation, oppression, injury, and continued suffering to occur on one hand if it is unhealthy, sociopathic, pathological, dysfunctional, and perverted/corrupted; or on the other hand, consciousness can support healing, liberation, creativity, integrity, abundance, cooperation, peace, and happiness if it is healthy, functional, biosocial, based in the values inherent in the community of life, integrated, and wholistic; i.e., sane. The former relationship is what the psychiatrist, Erich Fromm, termed necrophilia (the love of death and destruction), while it is opposed by biophilia -- the love of life. Hence the social and political problems facing the human being are iatrogenic (self caused). The causal factors at their root are essentially psychological or spiritual, hence it is worthwhile to look into the reasons why this spiritual flowering and unfoldment has become stifled and repressed and in doing so we will uncover and identify institutions which serve to repress and inhibit critical, creative, and free thought.

For many humans who are partially awake these connections are obvious; i.e., that consciousness (and/or its lack) shapes man's behavior, institutions, and politics on one hand; while also that man's environment, culture, institutions, society, and experiences shape his/her consciousness as a simultaneously occurring or symbiotic two way street. Both are true, but neither is true exclusively.

For too many years this obvious connection between consciousness and behavior, between psychology and politics, between spirituality and political-economic systems, between psychology and socioeconomic, agricultural, ecological, and medical systems, etc., has been widely ignored and even purposively obfuscated by forces allied with ignorance and darkness -- with selfishness and greed. Such connections between sky and earth, spirit and nature, psyche and soma, consciousness and beingness have rarely been integrated (except in indigenous societies) of whom have been under attack especially in the West for 2000 years. Thus a widespread but artificially created pre-existing problem has been that consciousness expansion, spirituality, and the so called human potential movement has heretofore been poorly linked to social and political activities. Such a separation on a daily basis has artificially reinforced a needless spiritual rift (dematerialization) between so called earth/body positive"spirituality" and social activism whose schism unfortunately and dysfunctionally continues to erode human progress and happiness while creating needless suffering. The task is obvious. An authentic living spirituality must be embodied and allowed to manifest in daily life. Such must be part of a sane and healthy way of integrity which honors life and creativity which we will discuss in more detail later on.

This connection between consciousness and politics -- or rather between political action inside an overall spiritual context which honors our connection and co-creative interdependence with life support systems (Systems that support life) by honoring the greater community which upholds it and from which it has sprung, requires acknowledgement at a fundamental level of "self" as a part of (not apart from) the evolutionary power of creation. The connections between our persona and our environment should be obvious to anyone who has learned critical and creative thinking; but modern day urban institutionalized propaganda and rigid institutionalized ideology will refuse to link the two. Rather such self serving institutions serves to obviate them in an attempt to fragment human beings from the source of their innate power and goodness.

The "Good" News is that this acknowledgement of this symbiotic relationship between consciousness and beingness (our actual experience) empowers us while allowing and enabling sentient beings who have been awakened to change the future positively through skillful loving wise action. The bad news is that there exists self interested institutionalized forces afoot on the planet with greedy agendas and well funded strategies, who do not wish humans to wake up and bridge this gap, because such is judged as a threat to their perceived "advantage" (their perverse identification with the status quo in terms of their comparative advantage, security, greed, self image and thus is associated with mental fear, pain, and feeling of lack of self worth). Those who are awake and in the light and who are propagating wisdom and compassion are still in a minority. Similarly those who are consciously promoting ignorance, destruction, darkness, greed, control, and egoic power over others selfishly are also in the minority. The majority are sleepy people who see only a faint shadow or hollow phantom of what they are missing/craving or fearing, thus they become easy victims, slaves, and purveyors of a neurotic consumer oriented society and political machine which pursues ersatz consumables and vague symbolic representation as substitute compensation for the basic displacement/rend from being a vital conscious participant of the dynamic evolutionary and creative force. In that way willing consumers become accomplices in perpetuating their own state of need and anguish, which can not fulfil (except in over indulgent orgies of excess (such as over eating, drug abuse, alcohol addiction, other avenues of insatiable greed, until they become sick, recognize their folly, and desire to wake up and become free. Currently this neurotic consumer driven malaise (driven by insatiable greed) is a major factor in ruining the ecosystems of the planet.

With this compensatory neurotic apparatus reinforced, when one has become so invested and convinced, it then becomes more difficult for the average consumer to let go of their ersatz compensatory opiate/pabulum and addictions. However "kicking that habit" (renunciation of neurotic compensatory consumerism) is a powerful first step which supports further realization of their innate dormant higher potential -- the aforementioned healthy wholistic natural state of vital integrity which was lost sight of before the psychological conditioning, negative programming, perversion and corruption of one's psyche/consciousness became dominant. Worse people so addicted and dependent upon such false identifications will cling to and defend it; i.e., their egoic self image (pride) which is rooted in separation and isolation, will feel threatened by paradigms which expose or reveal its contradiction. That is because this false identification has succeeded in becoming familiar known territory and predictable, thus one chronically mistakes safety and well being with predictability. Thus they will tend to resist their own liberation from their own self imposed bondage to addiction because of a fear of unpredictability or change. Change will appear threatening instead of liberating.

Even worse they will tend to hide and deny their consumer addictions through defending and glorifying it in a self defensive/aggressive pride especially through psychopathological methods of demonizing their perceived detractors which is really the externalization of their own inner conflict and demons. These are psychological resistances and armoring of the ego which manifest when people who identify with their beliefs about themselves and "the world", but who have not yet looked at the mechanism on how those beliefs have become assumed. They have not learned how to question those assumptions and trust their own innate critical thought processes. Indeed even questioning their beliefs appears to such as a personal threat rather than as an opportunity to self liberate and expand. One way that human beings change is by suffering; i.e., when there is nothing more to lose, then they will more easily rebel. However such solutions based on scarcity and desire, wind up in the long run repeating the scenario of scarcity until this great lesson is learned; i.e., that we are all one big family -- that the quality, richness, and depth of life is not found in the individual's accumulation of more things and their protection/maintenance. The more things humans need and own are signs of discontent and spiritual displacement. They are signs of how much they crave, need, and are unhappy.

Thus the remedial mechanism for the political milieu will be shown to be a spiritual/psychological mechanism of waking up, of regaining our inherent integrity, wholeness, spiritual health, sense of justice, sensitivity to the life force, and increased consciousness which was perverted/co-opted through negative programming. This will be shown as being the same process as throwing off the impure thoughts, false beliefs, propaganda, and illusions of fragment identifications as a clearing of the contraction of the heart, because as the sky clears the clouds go away -- the sun shines through without complicated contrivation and fabricated rationalization.

People who honor love, do not kill, hate, rob, exploit, harm or oppress others. Peaceful minds, honor peace -- they make peace. Inner peace comes from a deep realization of who we truly are -- where the inner demons of the corruptive HeartMind have become conquered. Inner peace is a result of realizing who we are in completion -- as eternal unrequited love. Here there is no room for hatred or fear, only love, joy, fulfillment, compassion, comfort, and light. People who know fulfillment and joy are neither insatiable nor insecure. Successful people no longer incessantly strive, but rather they engender peace and fullness. Loving people make love, rather than hate, murder, or war. One who has found love, values and honors love, peace, and abundance attempts to enhance it. Such a person is motivated by such stirrings deeply from their core. As such peace is not passivity, but active -- it is the activity of love. Such people would not honor systems that create scarcity, competition, stealing from others, comparative advantage, war, or strife. Similarly, people whose HeartMind have become clarified and open love and honor freedom and do not enslave, oppress, nor support totalitarian police states. Rather they become engaged in wise activities which liberate, remove suffering, heal, and celebrate a life wedded in Great Spirit -- their actions acknowledge and honor the sacred in All Our Relations.

In identifying the causes of oppression and suffering we thus have to avoid obsessing "about" the negative (hate, greed, fear, and selfishness) of our fellow humanss especially so when we live in a materialistic, competitive, militaristic, capitalist, gulag society. This is not to say that one should turn away and ignore the oppression, exploitation, and lies while leaving them unacknowledged. However it will do no effective spiritual good to simply condemn it in outrage; or on the other hand glorify the perfection of love as a spiritual process on the other hand. The t the authentic challenge is in bringing the love, light, truth, happiness, kindness, justice, and joy through where it is absent -- grounding and manifesting spirit in everyday life -- embodying love and spirit in integrity here upon the earth as in "thy kingdom come -- thy will be done, here on earth as in heaven". This is the spiritual work of cleansing the HeartMind detailed elsewhere on Rainbowbody.net; however here we address the activities of the Heart versus activities of men whose hearts are occluded. Framed in this way, it is not a condemnation of others but an inquiry how humans have arrived at precipices of strife and dysfunction, and as such teaches the lesson of history, how we can learn not to repeat such errors of learning the hard way -- through more pain and suffering -- until wisdom dawns!

Processes based on love, compassion, ahimsa, justice, and peace do not encourage nor reward suffering, comparative advantage, greed, jealousy, adversity, hatred, fear, competition, strife, and more confusion. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, but it does require a healthy mind and a good heart. It requires some degree of sensitivity, awareness, and sanity as well. It is taken as a given (a priori) that people collectively moved by transpersonal universal love are capable of moving mountains -- that when we act motivated by the universal non-dual Source (Great Integrity) acting in alignment and harmony with the natural joy of spirit, healing, abundance, wealth, peace, then true happiness manifests. This basic assumption of a natural altruistic ambition forms a most powerful momentum of its own. It opposes the perverse idea that man must be motivated by the whip, by scarcity, conflict, competition, fear, intimidation, greed, threat, or negative ambition.

Hence we return to the first paragraph:

"Through Universal Altruism we develop a feeling of true responsibility toward others; the wish to help all actively over come our problems".The Dalai Lama of Tibet

We have said that freedom has a price. In a democracy it is called, responsibility. Freedom does not mean to give up that responsibility to crooks or tyrants. That responsibility is not discharged by simply voting (giving consent). First a true democrat (one who values democracy) has to value freedom which requires becoming informed and free of the propaganda. That requires a critical and creative thought process -- a mindset that values truth over lies as well as free access to information. So the responsibility is to be informed while at the same time throwing off the propaganda of belief systems which desire to manipulate your mind (and hence manipulate you as their servants/slaves). Then one can act responsibly and effectively in helping self and others. That can move us into a happier, more just, and spiritual situation.

To sum up so far, mankind's long history of war, murder, plunder, exploitation, violence, rapaciousness, and suffering thus is not a natural phenomena (although normal) at all, but rather is a perversion and corruption, a fragmentation, a falling away from innate integration, from All Our Relations. It is fundamentally unnatural and anti-nature. It is egoic, arrogant, and based on the delusion that human can be separate and independent from nature and primordial wisdom -- from the Big Family. As such it is merely a symptom of man acting out from his spiritual malaise -- his alienated or out of attunement/alignment with the wholeness of creation/creator. Simply put all abuses, injury, oppression, and suffering that man brings upon himself is due to a basic spiritual pollution and spiritual self alienation -- a primal rift or separation -- the false identification of the self limitation imposed by the small self (ego) who arrogantly imagines himself to be independent-- a lack of "Self" understanding which has become institutionalized, an institutionalized and programmed barrier, obstruction, or impurity which has stained and occluded his HeartMind.

Here again we can divide/reduce this situation into two directions -- the direction toward Self Integrity -- the Great Binding (mahavratam) of yoga or All Our Relations-- which we will call the altruistic motive power -the pure ambition of a peace warrior, Bodhisattvas, or Christos) -- of non-dual transpersonal Love -- the power of the Great binding and Final Great Gathering. On the other hand, the aversion to this integration is a fragmentation and corruption by definition called the way of dissolution, spiritual self alienation, and false identification with a separate self or ego. This latter addiction or rather enslavement of is the neurotic or compensatory desire (motif) which contains hatred, fear, compensatory cravings and all the other secondary resultant spin offs such as greed, jealousy, competitiveness, malevolence -- all the manifold vagaries of humanity's many afflictions and oppressions. It is in the latter that the Heart has become chronically contracted and where one has lapsed into chronic forgetfulness -- "dis-memberance" -- fragmentation, alienation, corruption, and perversion. It is there in this stage where mankind has formed its pact with "sin" and corruption, where he harbors his own demons which haunt him, and which is calling for a cleansing -- where the Heart is deeply calling out to him to open up.

Simply put the expression of eternal Love and Joy -- of All Our Relations -- opposes exploitation, abuse, harm, oppression, exploitation, suffering, and killing of others -- thus it supports freedom, well being, and peace. Further it supports abundance, life, and healing. Pure air, pure water, low crime, non-toxic environment, low crime rates, less needs for armaments, less prisons, more attention to an empowering educational system, healthy agricultural policies, cleaner air and water, non-oppressive governments, more abundance, etc. All these effects and manifestations follow naturally from a common health motif and cause. These are natural consequences of Love and happiness. They appear to be "wise" or at least sane.


The Dysfunctional/Disempowering Mechanism of Externalization, Authoritarian/Totalitarian States, Demagoguery, and the Politics of Blame is the Result of Abandoning Self Responsibility: Freedom can only occur when we are willing and able to take "self" responsibility.

On the other hand, when confusion, selfishness, hate, fear, jealousy, and greed dominate people's hearts -- when the Heart has become contracted, contaminated, or oppressed -- then we see the manifestations of dissatisfaction, greed, selfishness, competition, strife, hatred, envy, fear, jealousy, in over consumption, rape, war, crime, murder, theft, deception, prejudice, bigotry, abuse, waste, pollution, slavery, suffering, and the like. In this occluded, confused, and sleepy state, hate and fear -- or rather paranoia, insecurity, and greed rules and thus one's activities, behavior and politics becomes correspondingly occluded, dark, perverse, corrupt -- what is commonly called evil. Extrapolating this illusion further then, externalized "enemies" are created as if some one else or some external group was perpetuating this evil upon us and thus a scapegoat, an objectified enemy, evil, or object of hatred and blame external to "self" is manufactured. This simpleminded approach is attractive to those seeking quick and simple answers and find it difficult to think because they have been given no tools to investigate their inner demons or conflicts -- because they have been separated from their inner spiritual authenticity and authority -- from living spirit. Thus an externalized/objectified enemy serves the neurotic purpose of directing their fear and confusion into hatred and pride, because they are at once absolved from any responsibility and at the same time their frustration, grief, and anger are sublimated (discharged and relieved albeit temporarily) toward an external object. Thus in psychic terms a temporary catharsis is created and the neuroses, guilt, pain, trauma, fear, and self hatred appears temporarily relieved by objectifying a surrogate enemy or demon.

This neurotic mechanism is more easily manipulated en mass through group illusions (creating consensus support for the illusion) as in an objectified enemy external to the group, ethnic identity, religious identity, state, or national identity, as in war. This serves the same temporary release/discharge of anxiety (fear, hate, guilt) for the neurotic again relieving self responsibility, self hatred, guilt, anger, and grief. If the enemy is associated with "evil", then the enemy of evil becomes absolved as "good". Although simpleminded this childish transference has occurred for thousands of years where demagogues have manipulated people's fears, prejudices, confusion, anger, and guilt, even to the point cooperation with their own oppression and genocide. Here a figure of authority becomes the mediator (be it king, father, fuehrer, president, priest, or pundit). This same neurotic mechanism can be invoked pointing the finger toward an internal "security" threat by a demagogue creating a totalitarian police state where no one is trusted, no individual freedoms are allowed, where critical thought and creative thought are seen as threats, where the threat of "an externalized, ubiquitous, insidious, and omni-present enemy" is amplified -- where people cower in fear and terror (and not coincidentally where fear and terror are self perpetuating). Although authoritarianism will inflate and attempt to propagate and hide behind the appearance of virtue, there can be no mistaking totalitarianism no matter how cute the mask as anything other than institutionalized slavery -- it thrives on fear, paranoia, neuroses, hatred, prejudice, suffering, and ignorance.

Here we will link together the fact that world peace and true security comes from peaceful and psychologic/spiritually secure people, rather than from insecure people; i.e., a domestic or international "security" problem is the result of psychological/spiritual insecurity; i.e., insecure people. To root out this "security" problem must include why and how people feel insecure in the first place; i.e., what are the cause and effect factors involved. Only then can the insecurity be successfully approached and remediated. Those who advocate war are themselves at war inside of themselves. Those who see the demons everywhere are obsessed/possessed with inner demons -- which we need to exorcise. They live in a shadow world which begs for illumination and it is up to us (even though we may feel oppressed by "them" to rise above our own grief and suffering to increasingly learn how to share the light. Only together will WE walk into the Heart of Hearts -- no other.

Here we will see that greed, jealousy, pride, hatred, and fear all come from a spiritual lack and more basic insecurity stemming from a spiritual estrangement from "Self" -- a primary sickness -- a separation from "All Our Relations". As a matter of fact all human made problems emanating from our any of our activities or institutions of so called education (which turns our children into parrots), a profit motivated disease care system (where disease pays), environmental protection (where pollution and poisons are justified), agriculture (where scarcity, starvation, and poisoning the soil, water, air, animals and people are promoted ), energy policies (where global warming, acid rain, ozone holes, and ecological destruction are promoted), and where war, crime, homelessness, disparity, inequality, scarcity, and genocide are daily promoted -- all of such are unhealthy and reflect unhealthy souls -- are a reflection of a pre-existing inner predilection and dynamic; i.e., they are all part of mankind's spiritual malaise/trauma -- the split from Self in All Our Relations. The institutionalization of this trauma has for too long governed the price of bread, the quality of our air and water, war or peace, feast or famine -- this type of government policy of course is dysfunctional and unhealthy -- it lacks joy and heart. Instead of celebrating life, it demeans it and as such it creates more self hatred and alienation. It is not due to poor leadership, but rather the willingness of the people to be misled -- to not to think for themselves and thus to not take responsibility. Vampires and parasites do not thrive unless there is carrion for them to feed upon.

We will show that every aspect of mankind's sociopolitical structures are a direct result of his alignment with Source -- his embodiment of love and happiness on one hand, or on the other to the lack thereto. Either man integrates his Creative Loving potential into daily life -- in harmony with Creation or he will suffer accordingly. Here we will show thus that not only irrelevant sociopolitical structures and modalities (both domestic and foreign) are affected, but rather our daily life in terms of the air we breathe, the cost of our food, how much we work; i.e., in terms of basic agricultural policies, health care policies, education policies, environmental policies, and the like all are concomitant as a cultural reflection of man's persona -- his identification and alignment with Source (creator) and Substance (Creation) or else his separation or corruption from it -- its absence. It is in this sacred field which living spirit plays the dominant role in our daily institutions which today is severely lacking because it governs our daily quality of life. This situation requires mankind's attention acknowledgement, consciousness, and embrace. As such it is a inner spiritual process first because before man can see the love and manifest it, he first has to experience it. Merely reading about it will not suffice.

In this light then any economic system can be evaluated in the light of this field -- of how well it brings forth abundance, love, peace, well being, health, self empowerment of its citizens, freedom, and happiness. Thus healthy food, health care, agricultural policies, work safety, environmental health, eco-systems, education, social security are all very much inter-related. It does not take much thought to link the facts that clean air, clean water, and clean food are necessary and vital to any economy that those who would justify poisoned air, toxic water, and cancerous food products are themselves toxic, poisonous, corrupt and polluted -- their minds and bodies have become corrupted; just as much those who religiously advocate competition, strife, scarcity, wars, prisons, exploitation of natural resources and people as "necessary" motivation. Indeed it does not require much thought at all to see that removing violence and harm to all beings as a motif and ambition will effect a higher quality of life, less waste, and more pro-active policies all bringing more abundance. The reason that such a motif has not been adopted is not so much that the greedy and powerful status quo parasitical vampires wish to keep their advantage in terms of increased status, wealth, and power (simply read fear, insecurity, attachment, and greed) and will stop at no deceit or abuse to keep such, but rather it is because that not enough loving and wise people have awoke -- have refused to become the symbionts for their own oppression.

Thus it should be clear that the way of the open and clear heart playing in the sacred field of love, well being, joy, and fulfillment differs greatly from that of the constricted heart anguishing in the bitter depths of desire, greed, paranoia, fear, disparity, greed, and competition. We will see how the former healthy spiritual perspective clashes with the latter and show their differing veins which run through the rungs of history in a psycho-history, spiritual history, or new "science" (if you will) of poli-psy or poli-spirituality.

告别嫉恨

這些年來真的是厭惡整個社會所有事情都被泛政治化,用個單一的語彙就想要將一個人歸類,但人可以這樣被歸類嗎?我們都知道黑白之間都還有一片灰色,為什麼 一切都要這樣絕對呢?你自己對摯愛的人都有時會發個脾氣,為什麼有時就因為別人發個小脾氣就認為他十惡不赦,他不愛你了呢?多年來我完全不敢寫任何時事的 感受,因為很容易就被歸類,所以選擇自我評量,自己依著良心盡可能做好自己,只是看著這樣可愛的人民,卻在自己的家裡內鬥,真的是很難過、傷心。其實大部分生活在這片土地上的人都是愛這裡的,我們不該去質疑自己的兄弟姐妹...是否愛我們的家。當然我們會批判它,因為我們希望家裡可以更好,但請一直惦記著:這一切都是因為『愛』,我們可以對政策作批判,但對人請更寬容些。 政治绝对不能以怨恨,妒忌为基础;我们的政治缺乏了关爱,搞事的多,做事的少;愿各位政治人物,告别嫉恨,走向关爱。

惜福吧,年輕人

一粥一饭,当思来处不易;
半丝半缕,恒念物力维艰。
——朱柏庐

在大學幾年來,參與了不少活動。但,有時心痛的感覺大于榮譽。
為了當晚的派頭,浪費了資源,印刷過度而派不完的刊物、吃不完被逼丟掉的食物、奢華的布置,心中感到一股感慨。

政治血案

我国政治已经到了十字路口,低级残暴的政治修理如今竟然搞出来人命,而令人难过的是,受害者不是在驰骋政坛见惯风雨的从政者,而仅是一名未必承受得起政治恶斗手段形成的精神压力的受薪助理。无论赵明福死因为何、为何而死,反贪污委员会及滥用国家机关为其政治利益服务的国阵政府都应成为问责对象。

人们现在只剩下两条路可以走,要吗就在暴政下苟且偷生-但是否看得见明天的太阳还是要看权贵的心情!第二,把暴政推下台!!!!

为什么我不吃牛肉

文艺复兴时代的达芬奇说:“人类不愧是百兽之王!因为人类的残暴超过一切野兽。人类的生存依赖其他动物的死亡”( Wynne Tyson: The Extended Circle, Paragon House, NY, 1989, p.65)。

我个人选择相信道家与佛教,道家禁戒人们杀食耕牛,犬和其他为人类效劳的生物,是有其道理的。愿以一下文献共勉之:

君不见牛耕土,曳步前奔用力努。
又不见日当午,血汗通身涎沫吐。
世间畜类多,无如他报主。
可恨贪财农,心狠如狼虎。
见他筋力衰,卖与人烹煮。
割下头,剖开肚,血涂钟,
皮鞔鼓,骨锉簪,肉作脯,
当日耕田难不难?今日粉身苦不苦?
冤魂泣诉阎罗王,阎罗悲悯不能语。
但说宰牛夫,受罪在地府。
或丢剑树丛,或掷刀山坞。
或灌滚铜汁,或烙红铁柱。
永劫不翻身,翻身世变汝。
又有食牛人,不由人劝阻。
劝之起争端,阻之笑迂腐。
怕说牛有功,强说牛能补。
一任罪通天,不知何肺腑?
岂知一食牛,立刻天神怒。
纵有好心肠,此条登恶簿。
阴注祸来侵,暗折福无数。
贫夭逮儿孙,甚至灭门户。
吁嗟乎,牛代人耕谁不睹,
杀而食之丧心伍。


(吕祖戒食牛歌)

牛为人辛苦努力耕种, 人类却心狠如狼,取其命,售其肉;如此忘恩负义,极为不齿!
换个角度来看,人类连辛辛苦苦、任劳任怨的耕牛都忍心食之,还有什么残忍的事情做不出呢?

暴政狂想曲

昨天发了个恶梦,梦见被斩首。好彩还醒得来,真是感恩我们活在民主社会。

梦里:有一天我忽然被传召去法庭,法官问我说-“你三年前犯法,告诉我为什么你不应该人头落地”。我不懂什么事,啊一声。法官马上说:说不出,你有罪,马上去排队斩头“。

接着我看见一名法律系的高才生,问他怎么会这样?这完全不符合宪法、不符合行政法、不符合刑事法典。。。。但那条水居然说:"这完全依照法律程序,没有问题”。天啊,怎么他这么没有良心。这时我联想到几年前有位曾经替杀人凶手辩护的律师说:帮坏人时,不要看事件,不要看什么事,只看法律程序-抓程序漏洞,明显杀人都会无罪释放”。这时我才明白,什么公正啊,法律是正义的,都是在骗人-都是暴政的工具,及依据为虎作帐,贩卖良心的法律专才的生才工具。。。。。虚伪

过后我只好要求,给我打个电话。法官这时笑着说:我国是个尊重人权的国家,死囚可以打电话回家交代身后事“。。。。真是够虚伪。这时我连忙打电话给女朋友,叫她忘记我,不要伤心,找别人吧”。过后再打电话各家人,惨,妹妹不接我的电话,在联络弟弟,也不接。法庭这时还说,法庭是庄严的,要有文化,文明人是不会再法庭讲电话的,结果我就在守卫监督下在外面打电话。

周围守卫没有几人,被斩头的人很多;每个都乖乖排队被杀,没有手铐,没有大批守卫-被杀的人至少多过守卫的十倍。但他们就好像被奴化了,完全不会反抗。这时我看见一名记者在哭,她没有相机,手里的笔记也是空的。。。。原来,这个国家,报纸只能报导官方消息,记者可以来法庭/邢场-是为了表现政府很民主,很尊重媒体。。。。。。。操

天啊,这时什么混蛋世界。。。。。。

教训
1)个人篇-我要快点打电话回家,多和家人谈天;要不然,失踪都没有人懂
2)国家篇-里面排队送死的人就像放弃民主的人们一样,虽然有能力反抗,却不会去争取。
      -法律再厉害,也是假的,只是个虚伪的工具,如果司法不独立。
      -媒体自由很重要,不然,被暴政诬蔑-人民还以为政府保护人民,消除暴徒

这是什么世界啊!!!

今天路過一個村子。看到一群人圍著什麼看。擠進去一瞅,是個男人在強姦女人。
我大驚,問:“光天化日之下怎麼能發生這樣的事情!”村裏人告訴我,那男的是村長,原先村裏人包括那個女的生活很窮,經常餓死人,不僅受村裏的地主惡霸欺壓,還受外村人欺負,被惡霸和外村人強姦、殺戮,後來是村長領著一幫人把惡霸和外人打倒、趕走,大家選他當村長,村長又讓大家都吃上了飯,所以村長的強姦是讓被奸者吃飽飯的強姦,比以前的強姦強多了!大家覺得還是村長的強姦比較好。

我說:“那女的怎麼不反抗?再說你們都是被奸者,怎麼不幫這個婦女?”村民象看個外星人似的看著我,說:“反抗!怎麼不反抗!反抗這個來個新的又這樣,我們村村長沒人能管,叫誰當村長誰都這樣!再說,村裏的民兵、治保聯防隊都是村長的人,他們有刀有槍的,好死不如賴活著,誰不想活啊!”我說:“那你們連罵都不敢罵,就這麼不吭一聲?”村民說道:“罵?誰能罵過村長啊,他有大喇叭,他在廣播上一廣播,把他的道理一講,村裏人誰信你啊。”

我說:“那你們可以告他啊。”村民說:“告?我們村規定,近幾年主要是解決吃飽飯和吃好飯的問題,在解決這個主要問題過程中出現的東西,可以擱置不談,等大家都吃的很好的時候自然就解決了,倉廩實而知禮儀啊,是生存還是不被強姦?當然是先要生存權。

再說了,飽暖思淫欲,強姦,這是吃飽飯必然帶來的陣痛,是‘村情’決定的,有什麼好大驚小怪的。”

我問那個被奸的婦女的丈夫:“你不覺得你的人和尊嚴受到淩辱嗎?”他說道:“啥叫人和尊嚴啊,俺不懂,俺知道他這樣壓著俺老婆、弄她,她挺累挺疼挺難受,他還不給錢,確實是不對的。”“不過,村裏也不是一個女的被村長這樣; 更不是俺一個人的老婆被村長這樣!”“再說,俺有病,陽痿,那事幹不了。”我又問:“你是怎麼陽痿的?”“十年前被村長踢壞的。不過,村長還是挺好的,踢壞了俺後,當時把俺送了醫院,替俺花了醫藥費;以後,又把村裏最好的一塊地給俺承包,俺不吃虧,佔便宜了!”

我說:“怎麼素質這麼低!”旁邊村民冷笑道:“你以為你聰明,村長的治村方略是一整套的,要聯繫地看問題,不能孤立地看。村長要隨意強姦我們,首先,給我們吃飯,要讓我們感激他;第二要給我們理想,說跟著他幹以後會更好;第三,有民兵和治保聯防隊,給他保障;第四,有大喇叭、黑板報給他宣傳,幫他批判不服的社員;還有一條,他讓村裏小學收費,於是很多人上不起學,於是就不懂人權和尊嚴,於是就沒有你這麼多想法,於是村長就可以清清靜靜地強姦。

而那些上完學的孩子,一般是村長他們家族的或者得到村長照顧的,不會對抗村長;有幾個倒是出息的窮孩子,但一畢業,村長就讓他們到村委會或村辦企業,待遇很好,都對村長感恩戴德,加上村長對他們灌輸的強姦教育很多,這些知識份子,女的想為村長獻身,男的想在村長強姦時幫他按住腿,那裏還有你這些胡思亂想。這樣,村裏比如有一百人,80 人是沒文化的文盲,有文化的20 人,大部分成為村長一個陣營的,你說,再有個把不老實的能翻什麼浪?所以在我們村,什麼都是為村長的強姦合理服務的。”

我說:“那你們就願意這樣被強姦下去?”村民說:“也不象你說的那樣悲觀。村長還是在不斷的往好裏做的。他大兒子偷村裏的糧食,被他打斷了腿;村長有次喝醉酒,把一個幼女強姦致死,他清醒後打了自己好幾耳光,關了自己三天禁閉,沒吃飯。你看他現在強姦,動作就很文明,被強姦婦女身下還墊了村長的軍大衣,村長還知道戴安全套,還非常與國際接軌,跟錄像裏外國人幹事似的,耶兒耶兒地叫。所以我們有理由相信,明天會更好。”我說:“那你們就眼看著被奸者遭受痛苦的蹂躪?”村民沉痛地說:“是啊,我們一直在致力解決這個問題。有些激進的人認為被姦婦女要使勁推翻村長,但這樣容易使矛盾激化,影響村裏團結安定這樣一個來之不易的局面。更多人以為,掙扎解決不了她現在的痛苦,反而有可能增加,而且還會影響全村的建設。既然現實就是這樣,我們無法迅速改變,就只有順其自然,達成共識,讓這個被強姦的婦女要承認自己是弱勢群體,承認這是一種必然現象,短暫陣痛,不要掙扎,可以換一個舒服點的姿勢,主動迎合強姦,把村長當成一個給我們每個人帶來幸福的好男人,配合他的動作。這樣,就不會痛苦,享受強姦,還可以體驗到歡樂!”


這時,村長聽我們議論得越來越沒邊,對旁邊的村小學校長說:“這幫人吃飽了沒事幹,讓他們的嘴一閑著就胡說,你跟他們講,有專家證明說岳飛是女的,他媽是男的。”

村民一聽小學校長說這話,顧不得和我議論了,立刻面紅耳赤地和小學校長爭論起岳飛是男是女的問題,一個村民對村長豎起大拇指:“村長真民主啊,連這樣重大的問題都拿到桌面讓我們和校長一起辯論,過我們連想都不敢想,可見我們是真正的民主啊!”村長微微一笑,趁他們去爭論岳飛不注意強姦了,又吃了一個蘭色小藥片,拉過另一個少女幹了起來。在這片熱鬧的場面中,我忽然什麼都明白了,明白得自己覺得寂寥,覺得害怕,覺得自己可憐,忍不住要哭出聲來,脫口的卻是一句:“垃圾啊!”全村人一楞,都鄙夷地看著我。

  如果您会握住某人的手、或给他们一个拥抱、或是拍拍他们的肩膀,恭喜您,因为您是具有愈合人们心灵的能力。

  如果您可以读到这篇文章,那是双重幸运:有人想到您这个朋友,而且有15亿人根本不识字。您大概从来没想到过自己是多么幸福吧!?

  周遭的微小事物可能因为你的微笑而微笑,那你今天微笑了吗???
  记得要快乐喔!

政治是为了什么

看着我国52年来政治乱象不断,搞事的多,做事的少,难免会有的心痛。为这个国家心痛,为人民老百姓感到心痛。

政治到底是为了什么?为什么需要政治?很多人这时心里难免会感到很纳闷,开始会反感。 但是,我们必须很清楚,凡事都有代价。 你要有决定权, 你就要花点心思想如何选择。 要权利,就要负点责任,这是很公平的。政治每天都影响我们的衣食住行,可以说政治是生活的一部分。

既然政治是生活的一部分, 那怎样的政治才是我们需要的,我们该朝向哪一个主义呢。。。。其实,这些标签已经不太重要了。看看世界各国的案例,嘴巴高喊为人民服务,结果搞一个大饥荒出来;喊着帝国主义,要捍卫自己民族尊严-最后是一个害自己人民吞了两颗原子弹,一个搞到自己人民的后代还要赔钱给受害者。

看到了这些历史,我不迷信资本主义、共产主义、社会主左派、右派、中间派。。。。。。管他什么XYZ标签,最后还是一个问题:
你能令人们安居乐业吗?”

吹水的下场






这位政客也算是有点良心,至少会担心自己的诺言无法实现。

但,还有一批政棍才是真正的无耻。吹水到很爽,一切东西由他们决定。候选人的宣言都是这些混蛋决定,但最后需要承担责任的是当选者和下一届成员,这些混蛋却无需负责任。
