The Best Love ~ The Notebook

The Notebook is one of the most romantic movie i've watched. 

Here's sharing links to some clips & a beautiful quote:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332280/
Summary: A poor and passionate young man falls in love with a rich young woman and gives her a sense of freedom. 
They soon are separated by their social differences.

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul, 

or makes us reach for more, 

that plants fire in our heart and peace in our mind.

...nothing is ever lost or can be lost

My Poem ~ i will let go

~

om mane padme hum ...

i will begin my day right with Thy first breathe.. 

i will rise with a clear motivation, in each dawn

i will remember each beat, as life pulses away  

i will pen today, tomorrow, for yesterday i wrote my future

i will be present this moment, for the next is next

i will watch the mind play, in likes and dislikes,

i will taste the nectar, an impermanence

i will embody Thy qualities, for this exudes beyond i

i will be in Spirit, in Light, remembering Thy purest nature

i will walk Thy Path, for there's no other Truth

i will be you, as you are me, in endless form

i will be Thy Witness, Thy Channel, Thy Union

i will be Nothing, for i was Nothing

let go

its time to go ... 

i will

namaste

Om Mane Padme Hum

in tibetan script

ओं मणिपद्मे हूं

in sanskrit

OM a symbol of impure to Pure exalted Body, Speech, Mind of purest qualities

MANE means jewel = the factor of Method = the altrustic intention to become enlightened, compassion, love

PADME means lotus = Wisdom that realizes the emptiness of inherent existence (which encompases wisdom realizing impermanence, wisdom realizing that person are empty of self-sufficient or substantial existence, wisdom of emptiness of duality)

HUM the indivisiblity (incapable of being divided) Unity of method and wisdom. In full form, ones conciousness becomes immovable, unfluctuating.

Thus the six syllables, OM MANI PADME HUM, mean that in dependence

on the practice which is in indivisible union of method and wisdom,

you can transform your impure body, speech and mind into the pure

body, speech, and mind of a Buddha.

explanation is my summary from His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet text link:

http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/tib/omph.htm

~ Namaste ~

Detach - be free

R ~ Being a Channel

Being a Channel

I am love, and I represent love.

I transcend the human world, I can give love to all. 

It is my channel from above and love comes through me to you.

Sometimes I represent healing too. This is quite natural to those who allow themselves to be channel. You and all have all these qualities too. Thats why we attract.

Thy love will not stop, and its not a possessive kind of love. Let it go. Love with no expectation. It doesn't matter. Its there always for you when you or others need it. 

~ by Si-Y

Ethics intersects etiquette

Ethics intersects etiquette. Our act has an ethical component, since it requires attention and consideration.

....

"The principal form that the work of love takes is attention."

—M. Scott Peck

"A human moment occurs anytime two or more people are together, paying attention to one another."

—Edward M. Hallowell

"Every action done in company, ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present."

—George Washington

We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light."

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

—Paul of Tarsus

.....

The Three Strikes of Incivility

The rude act—a lack of acknowledgment—causes harm in at least three ways. 

1) It may inconvenience others in some way in the act. Since the acknowledgement was needed for a reason.

2) Dismissal of other's presence is telling others "their existence didn't matter. The loss of face can make one perturbed and resentful.

3) If one being rude at - feels that they should do something to redress the slight, this will perturb them as well. They will wonder whether if they really want to bring the issue to the person's attention. Is it worth the while? Will an unpleasant exchange ensue? Is the incident going to escalate? If they don't react, is it being cowardly? 

So, rudeness begets conflict with others but also conflict within ourselves, and the latter can prove as hurtful as the former.

We can, however, do without the invisibility game. It is insincere and petty. Let's at least nod each other into existence. And let's not play another game, either, that of waiting to be acknowledged before acknowledging in turn. I hope that we will always have enough self-esteem to feel that being first in greeting doesn't entail loss of face.

..........

Acknowledge others' existence, their importance to you, their feelings, and the things they do for you. Acknowledgment comes in many forms: remembering someone's name, paying a thoughtful compliment, summarizing what was just said for a newcomer to the conversation, holding a door open to let someone through, welcoming, thanking, and just plain saying hello. A simple "Hello" or "Good morning" is the most basic form of acknowledgment. 

..........

and Going through life rude and angry can make you sick.

My Poem ~ Kitty Maui

Here's my first try...

I stand and stare at her time to time,

she twirls her tail to say 'au revoir' every time,

she means ~ I care for her existence more than she does for mine

And yes she does that all the time!

When I stand and stare at her, I ask, 

should I not have a life, oh what am i doing here? tsk!

for everything she does is usually quite the same, 

yet, amazingly, I adore her simple silly game!

so, i suspect this is how mother nature turns the wheel 

does creation exist when our will strikes a deal

do we will ourselves to exist as individuals, so thus we exist,

or are we created for another, who wills us to exist?

I stand and stare at her this beautiful Sunday,

a challenging affair ~ a good shower day!

A WHAT?!! Oh! As always, she throws a fit!!

Well, her greatest fear comes even at a sprinkly bit!

I stand and stare at her now at midday

she purrs thankfully, her warmth reflects the sunny rays 

poised to show off her glowing whites, yes! a big basking day

to stay clean, cuddly, soft and fluffy, I hope thats her only agenda today!

Years ago, I stood and stare at her before, 

a lost tiny kitty in a busy food court, frantic on fours ~

with orange fur, white chest and socks, crying away

frightened, shaken, no Mummy to take her away.

I stood and stared at her ~ a long fateful day for me

I'm still allergic to fluffs no matter what, you see,

What a joke this'd be! But I was tempted to see

If co-existence could work ~ if it was meant to be.

only God can make a tree

“I think I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the sweet earth's flowing breast

A tree that looks at God all day

And lifts her leafy arms to pray

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair

Upon whose bosom snow has lain

Who intimately lives with rain

Poems are made by fools like me

But only God can make a tree.”

Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)

R ~ My Personal Legend

I am here to be an instrument, a channel of love ~ to be ONE ~ with the essence of love, beauty, peace and bliss.

In my journey I will experience ~ Abundance, Success, Breakthrough, Love, Peace, Surrender, Joy, Wisdom, Trust, Truth, Clarity, Focus

To be what I am Born to Be. To serve the highest purpose, is to live my story.

Why this is important to me:

A person who wishes to begin a good life should be like a man who draws a circle. Let him get the centre in the right place & keep it so the circumference will be good. And let a man first learn to be fix his heart on God and then his good deeds will have virtues. But if a man' heart is unsteady, even the greatest things he does will be of small advantage ~ by Meister Eckhart

What I can achieve and apply it through/to

• Self & Spiritual Centeredness
• Loving & Sharing - all the experience

• Yoga Union - study of anatomy, therapy & movement (physical & energy form)

• Art - breaking beliefs in those who says 'I cannot draw!'

• Writing and drawing spiritual experiences

...

Affirmations 

ENERGIZING PRAYER

o Infinite Spirit, 

recharge this body with thy cosmic energy, 

this mind with thy concentration and

this soul with thy ever-new joy.

O Eternal Youth of body & mind

abide in me forever & ever.

~ Paramahansa Yogananda 

Affirmation

I am bountiful, infinite joy

I am precious, deserving & complete

Be true to yourself, honour yourself & be faithful to yourself

Live your life in the fullest

.....

What I can do constantly:

1. Get back into yoga. Practice. Search. Study. Practice Practice. Practice.


2. Be Present. Tap into being an instrument. Through art, music, writing, my presence to continuously love and share that.

3. See if I can incorporate art & spiritual eg. Marine Series and Tree Book Project and get sponsorship to publish them.

4. Remember to visit spiritual & new places.

5. Savings for all that!

.....

To David Deida's Way of the Superior Man - these 3 questions: 1. What is your deepest purpose? To be a clean unblocked channel of love. 2. How do you need to live so you can die complete? To live being this channel - doesn't matter to whom, to what, through what instrument. 3. What are you willing to be responsible for?  What I manifest in my life - the love i have & can give to others. I can only give this when I am attune within. ~ What is my current blockages - its in my body. and uncenteredness. When i am stiff, inflexible, unhealthy, un-attuned, i will not be able to live my purpose. Therefore, I need to cleanse the body, be in spirit, be in one to be able to be this channel.  When I am centered, I see the rightful path. ~

A Personal Legend

 


A personal legend is the path we decide to take that fills our heart with enthusiasm. It is the path of our dreams. 
~ Paulo Coelho


----

- What is the Personal Legend?

- It is your blessing, the path God has chosen for you here on Earth. Whenever a man does that which gives him enthusiasm, he is following his Legend. However, not everyone has the courage to face up to his own dreams.

- Why is that?

- There are four obstacles. The first: he has heard, right from childhood, that everything he wishes to live is impossible. He grows up with this idea, and as he acquires age, he also accumulates layers of prejudices, fears, guilt. There comes a time when his Personal Legend is so deeply buried within his soul, he can no longer see it. But it is still there.

“If he has the courage to unearth his dreams, he then faces a second obstacle: love. He now knows what he desires to do, but he thinks he will harm those around him, if he gives everything up to follow his dreams. He does not understand that love is an additional impulse, not something which hinders one from going forward. He does not understand that those who truly wish him well are longing for his happiness, and are ready to accompany him on this adventure.

“After accepting love as a stimulus, a man faces the third obstacle: the fear of the defeats he will encounter along the way. A man who fights for his dream suffers far more when something doesn’t go well, because he cannot use the famous excuse: “oh, well in fact that wasn’t exactly what I wanted anyway…” He does want it, and knows he is putting everything into it, and also that the Personal Legend is just as difficult as any other path – the difference being that your heart is present on this journey. So, a warrior of the light must be prepared to be patient at difficult times, and know that the Universe is conspiring in his favor, even if he does not understand how.

- Are the defeats necessary?

- Whether necessary or not, they occur. When he begins fighting for his dreams, man has no experience, and makes many mistakes. But the secret in life is to fall seven times, and rise up eight times.

- Why is it important to live the Personal Legend, if we are to suffer just as much as others?

- Because after having overcome the defeats – and we always overcome them – we feel much more euphoria and confidence. In the silence of our hearts, we know we are worthy of the miracle of life. Each day, each hour, is part of the Good Combat. We begin to live with enthusiasm and pleasure. Very intense and unexpected suffering begins passing faster than apparently tolerable suffering: that drags on for years, eroding our soul without us noticing what is happening – until one day we can no longer free ourselves of the bitterness, and it accompanies us for the rest of our lives.

- And what is the fourth obstacle?

- After unearthing your dream, using the power of love for support, spending many years with the scars, a man realizes – from one day to the next – that everything he always wanted is right there, waiting for him, perhaps the very next day. Then comes the fourth obstacle: the fear of realizing the dream he has fought for all his life.

- That makes no sense.

- Oscar Wilde said that we always destroy the thing we love the most. And it is true. The simple possibility of achieving that which we desire causes the soul of the common man to be filled with guilt. He looks around, and sees many others who have not succeeded, and so he thinks he does not deserve it. He forgets everything he overcame, all he suffered, everything he had to renounce in order to come this far. I know many people who, when they are within reach of their Personal Legend, make a series of silly mistakes and do not attain their objective – when it was just one step away.

“This is the most dangerous of the obstacles, because it has a certain aura of sanctity about it: to renounce to joy and the conquest. But if the man is worthy of that which he has fought so hard for, he then becomes an instrument of God, aids the Soul of the World, and understands why he is there”.

Energy

1. Energy drain: Other people's expectations
Are you living someone else's dream for you? You're putting out energy but starving emotionally. The other person gets all the satisfaction.


Energy move: Declare independence
You bought in; you can set yourself free. No confrontation needed, just "I don't have to expect that of myself." Worst-case scenario: Someone who's not you will be disappointed. You will feel wonderful.


2. Energy drain: Loss of self
As kids, we had to play by the rules; our unique energy got caged.


Energy move: Personalize your life
Ask yourself, If it were up to me, what would I...hang on my wall? Wear to work? Do for fun? Find the pockets of freedom where you can be more yourself.


3. Energy drain: Deprivation
Duties and responsibilities fill your days. You gain weight trying to get emotional energy from food.


Energy move: Add pleasure, beauty, fun
Satisfying experiences, large and small, are the real nourishment you crave. Plan a big treat to look forward to—and a little one every day.


4. Energy drain: Envy
We often don't feel envy directly—but we might find someone else's good fortune depressing.


Energy move: Count your blessings
Comparison is a loser's game. Look at what you have, and actively feel grateful. (P.S. That person you envy—you don't know how messy her life really is. Chances are you wouldn't want it if you had it.)


5. Energy drain: Worry
When you worry, you think you're dealing with things, but you're just suffering. Worry never comes up with good ideas. It torments and exhausts us.


Energy move: Get going
Action is the cure for worry. Do one thing that brings you a step closer to coping. If it's the middle of the night, get up and write a to-do list.


6. Energy drain: Unfinished business
Unmade decisions and postponed projects drain you.


Energy move: Do it or dump it
Forget the perfect decision—just trust yourself and make a choice. Put projects in an appointment book. If you can't find any good time, that's a signal you don't want to do it. So don't.


7. Energy drain: Overcommitment
You're always saying "yes"—to your boss, mother, kids, friends; to requests, favors, meetings.


Energy move: Say "yes" to yourself
Tell someone else "no" every once in a while, just to feel your own power. You'll gain a whole new sense of your ability to take care of yourself.


8. Energy drain: Holding on to loss
Fresh loss is an emergency. But old losses you can't let go of are dead weight.


Energy move: Cry all your tears
Indulge in big-time mourning. Take off from work, stay in bed, and do nothing but cry till you're dry—and bored. Then go out and embrace life.

Vajrasattva Mantra

The definition of negative karma: any action that results in suffering, usually an action motivated by ignorance, attachment or aversion.

The actual practice comes with visualization of the Four Opponent Powers:

http://www.fpmt-osel.org/meditate/vjrstva.htm (A shorter 'summed' up content)

The Power of Regret
The Power of Dependence
The Power of the Remedy: Mantra Recitation
The Power of the Promise

...but its good to have the mantra in our space even if we are just reciting the mantra without the visualization.

Long Mantra
om vajrasattva samaya
manupalaya, vajrasattva denopa titha,
dido me bhava, suto kayo me bhava, supo kayo me bhava,
anurakto me bhava, sarva siddhi me prayatsa,

ha ha ha ha ho, bhagavan
sarva tathagata, vajra mame muntsa,
vajra bhava maha samaya sattva ah hum phet

Short Mantra
om vajrasattva hum

Manjusri mantra

This mantra is believed to enhance wisdom and improve one's skills in debating, memory, writing, and other literary abilities. "Dhīḥ" is the seed syllable of the mantra and is chanted with greater emphasis.

Mañjuśrī (Skt: मञ्जुश्री) is a bodhisattva associated with transcendent wisdom (Skt. prajñā) in Mahāyāna Buddhism. In Esoteric Buddhism he is also taken as a meditational deity. The Sanskrit name Mañjuśrī can be translated as "Gentle Glory"[1].

A mantra commonly associated with Mañjuśrī is the following:
oṃ a ra pa ca na dhīḥ  (pronounced as Om Ah Ra Pat Sa Na Dhih)

R ~ The Power of Ripple Effect

Today evening, i saw a bunch of people fishing at the Punggol jetty. Usually if there are fishes caught, these fishes are put into buckets. i would walk by, chant and blow into the water. May they be reincarnated peacefully.

but today, there was one particular incident. a 'rough' family with 2 restless young boys. The mum catches a baby fish now, removes it from the hook whilst it gasps for air for these few minutes. The boy's tub has one other slightly bigger dead fish which looks like a flatten baby box fish. I stood there and watched how excited he was. Into the tub, the mum drops the little fish.

then, i hear him say, 'i want to - i will cut it.'

I was surprised to hear that so i exclaimed as if curious, 'but its alive!'

The mum stands at his side, she squirms and say 'i won't want to see this.'

Within the next second, he catches the 6cm fish, he snips off the tail with two snips at different angles. I stood there in horror and shock as the mum watches her son do so. You can see the little fish now although not dead or bleeding, out of whack with balance - now thrown back into the small tub, unable to comprehend what had just happened, still gasping for air, now turning upside down.

The snipping had probably totally disturbed the lateral line of the fish - the central line that divides the fish lengthwise.

Now, I check a link on the net which says

"The lateral line is a sense organ used to detect movement and vibration in the surrounding water. It consists of a line of receptors running along each side of the fish."

So, can it feel pain? I don't know, but it sure looked painful to me. This reminds me of the trends and likes of people who enjoys eating the Indonesian famed fish dish - where they deep fry a live fish into hot oil - I'm guessing, they deep fry with chopsticks to hold the body in a twisted way so that it shapes up perfectly when served on the plate. The mouth is wide open - as if gasping for air. And whilst it's served, the fish's head is still breathing, gasping.

So, can it feel pain? I don't know. I certainly was in pain seeing how a human kid was behaving - overall as a whole - his respect/disrespect of another living being, causing harm to another, although ignorantly. But many of us aren't that ignorant. I'm sure the mother wasn't ignorant to what would become the end of the fish's short life span.

...

The next thing the boy decides to do is, he grabs the fish and throws it back into the sea. I suppose the fish will either drown from the rocky waves and lack of proper oxygen exchange in the gills - or just be eaten by another - perhaps this is the luckier option. the faster perhaps the better?

Eventually i had to let my horror subside. I also tried to withhold all comments that rushed in line into my brain which probably came from the experience of shock - come on - I just witnessed the existence of the same species called human being - but one of which seemed to have lack in values - values that i thought would not even exist in the animal kingdom. Animals kill to survive. To eat. Or for territorial instinct. To be fair, I have seen cat's play for pleasure, but I did watch a video based on a true story on how we can teach a cat to not kill too.

I reflected and figured i was meant to see all of that - so as to remind myself to continue my practice.

To remember that there are some things i can't change and that is the course of life in others, in myself perhaps. But more importantly, what it reminded me off is what i can do - and hopefully this is true - to elevate ignorance, but only through my practice, because we can't teach others how to be kind when they are not interested or ready. (i used to place wishes that others will feel the same pain that they had caused and placed upon others especially if it was intentionally.)

Is somebody up there trying to show me something? I can remember Kangyur Rinpoche's teaching of the cycle of life, the nature of reincarnation - how through rebirth, we might be carrying a child which was our enemy in the past who caused us harm, and we might be cruel to a dog whom is a reincarnation of our mother in the past who loved us with her life.

In the world of duality, samsara, the endless cycle of life, i am limited. i can only achieve this or that much.

I guess I could do my practice - mantras, be mindful and discipline my mind. Use the law of attraction to lead and walk my talk. Peace through practice, peace through mindful action, focus and concentration to speed things up. Thats all i can do.

Today i saw this ignorant horrid act, because i was meant to see it, so that my practice will strengthen..

The ripple effect is like cause and effect and it will continue as long as humans and beings exist.
