What I think about life london I am reminded that whatever we do, like giving free bus travel to all people over 60yrs old, someone else suffers. Local Councils will have to fund it, and so take money from somewhere else in their budget. One person gains, another loses out. That is the nature of things. That is life. That is why I am not a believer of justice. The courts mete out justice, which to me looks very much like punishment, and revenge. I think justice is to be left to the Gods, or God, or karma. Take you pick. Since humans can never know all the circumstances of what we call crime, i dont think we should be put in charge of discharging justice. Let God, or Gods or Karma decide. This means we humans accept whatever happens to us in the future. If someone is poor, or suffers torture, they may well be working out their karma. They are receiving justice, but many looking on will feel pity for that person, and try to alleviate it, when it is natural justice. I dont think this opinion will endear me to a lot of people. Well, next time someone did u wrong, and u scream for justice, u might remember that is ur prayers answered when you see someone suffering all the mishaps of the world. /Someone else has asked for justice and life has meted it out to that poor individual suffering away that u see before u. For we humans do not know what that person has done, either in his earlier life, or in his other life, (assuming you believe in reincarnation). I believe in natural justice. In fact, I think nature does these things without any fair play in mind. I think each soul seeks to experience whatever it wants to experience, and it has nothing to do with justice. If someone is suffering hardships, their soul has wanted to experience that. For the fun of it. Yes, for the fun of it!!! we humans would call me mad. Who in their right mind would want to go through those things... but when you consider someone chosing to climb a mountain and experienceing all the hardships of extreme cold, hunger, exhaustion etc etc, I would ask who in his right mind would want to do that,# And yet, there are people who do these things, and society believes they are rational and praising them when they become the first person to climb everest. So next time you see someone undergoing all the travails of the world in his life, you will have to accept that his soul wants it. It is hard for any of us to understand, just as so many things humans do for fun, we can never understand what is fun about it, but we accept they are having fun, and so we must allow acknowledge that soul who we see 'suffering' is having its desire. It may be hard for that ego which the soul inhabits to wonder why the soul wants him/er to suffer, and may well shout out, 'why me? God? Why me?' But that is something between he and his soul. He can have a say, but how he does it is not known. He will have to collaborate with his soul to shift the direction the soul is moving. Well, that is the fun of having a blog, I can say all these things and not be committed to the loony bin. haha. It is only my opinion, in case some one out there do not get it, and feel offended. I am not attacking anyone elses beliefs. However, I can say this belief of mine makes me view all the wild and irrational things that humans get up to with equanimity. Their souls want it. I say, and that is all there is to it. They live their lives the way their souls want it, whilst I live mine the way my soul wants it. haha. So just as I would not want their life, so perhaps they do not want mine. We each go our way, convinced our life is the best for us, and there is no choice.

a wonderful life london This age is a good one to be in. At least in my situation. I live in London, where it is still a free country, in that no one tries to control you too much. And there is freedom of movement so I can travel all over the world, only restricted by my personal safety when I get there. And be able to get out and return to enjoy all the freedom of london, and the UK. I doubt in future we shall be so free to travel and so cheaply. This is the golden age. Enjoy it. I know my viewpoint is limited to my circumstances,and it is a priviledged one. Well, I am certainly enjoying it and appreciating it. I wonder whether cod will one day be so expensive it becomes out of reach except to the very rich. Or a time will come when everything has a price, unlike now when it is possible to access a lot of things free. Ah well, mustn't get too morbid about the future. Who knows we might colonise the moon, and the whole new world opens out with all its possibilities and adventure. Life is wonderful with the changing seasons, the unexpected pleasures, and the lovely interactions with fellow human beings. If I were a time traveller, I would make this age my base. Or more specifically the 1990-1999 period.

Life is easy london friday People always say 'Life is hard'. I know that is false. Life is hard if u make it hard. Otherwise it is very easy. Those that find their lives are hard, in all those cases, deep down that person wants it to be hard, because they have got this belief in their heads that life must be hard to be worthwhile. So they only appreciate things if they have to spend a lot of money on it to get it. or a lot of effort to get it. I have been reading this book, 'Dancers at the end of time, by michael moorcock. I realise that when I read it a long time ago, when i was young and naive, I simply enjoyed it for its time travel and its wonderful creation of a World at the End of Time when the inhabitants can create whatever physical worlds they wish, and concoct personas with emotions that they can play at. But now I re read the book, I find passages there that address the paradox of time, and the perception of people's belief. Throughout we get examples of people,who can be time travellers or the people who live permanently at the end of time, who are confronted and confounded with the shifting scenery and emotions of the each other. This is especially so for the time travellers who have to face up to their long held beliefs; or the inhabitants themselves who find that when emotions can be shifted and changed so easily it becomes rather pointless and boredom sets in. I am coming to the view that immortality leads to ennui. There is only one way to prevent ennui, and that is to get down from heaven and mingle with the people on earth. There u can experience everything. I bet that is how immortals do it, become incarnated. And that is why I believe the soul is the immortals, and they come to earth to mingle using reincarnation. When a person can determine his destiny and the surroundings at the flick of a power ring, everything becomes meaningless. That is why we have life on earth. Here, life is unpredictable, and a lot of it is beyond our control. The weather for eg. And our interacting with others, that also can lead to unexpected consequences. Even the best laid plans can go wrong, and that is as it should be. haha. Thus people who are rich, will find they are bankrupt the next day, or poor people win the pools and enter the ranks of the rich. On a smaller scale, you wake up and you can only wonder at what may happen. You just have to attune ur senses to notice all the wonderful things that are present in ur life. I mean just smelling the flowers can be very life affirming.And when you are aware, you can attract things u like to come to u, and avoid things u dont like. I have a recent taste of that. I nipped it in the bud before it can go bigger, and I hope I will avoid it for another year at least. haha. It is not a health issue, though it could apply to a health problem. A potential twinge of pain can be alleviated with exercise, tai chi, yoga, and good eating. No, this other potential problem is not a health one. Actually talking of health, I found out that the yoga class advertised on a newsagent's window in Pimlico is free. It is on every saturday morning. I have been wanting to renew my yoga classes and this is a good chance to do so. Perhaps it is sponsored by the council, that would explain why it is free, but i shall go and find out tomorrow.

infinity in the palm of my hand london Hi everyone who is reading this. I am sure that visitors coming across this blog must have their worst fears about the triviality of the internet confirmed when they read the mundane everyday things that happen to me and that I bother to write down. I mean who cares what the local tesco is like. 'Get a life! enough already!!!' , I am sure that must be the thought that runs through any casual reader and even my friends who happen to find this. I quite agree with them. I am afraid my life is of not much interest to anyone except myself. There are no dramas here. Unlike what I read in Michael Moorcocks 'Dancers at the end of time'. There, he had created a world where the people are immortal, and so they devise fantastic new worlds with their power rings, and indulge in dramatic emotions to keep themselves occupied. I think it is easy to get bored if u can do anything and everything and u have all the time in the world to do it. What has it got to do with my life? you may ask. Dashed if I know, the thought just came into my head that somehow that is what I am doing too. With a lot less power, and a lot less time, but I am creating these things, and since I dont need a lot of drama to enjoy it, my creations are whimsical and go into the details of a simple life. None of the grandeur and magnificent worlds created by those at the End of Time, but small whimseys, and savouring of the fine minutieae of life. The pleasure of finding something I did not know I wanted, till I saw it... the synchronicity of things happening that should not, expectant occurrences that came about and which turned out to have unexpected consequences. All the combinations of human interactions, known and unknown, and unknown unknowns. haha. I like my life, mundane as it appears to be to outsiders.It is not possible to explain to others, nor to convey to them why I get so much pleasure from the smallest trivial thing. I enjoy subverting the system. I enjoy seeing the fulfilling of what I call forth. And I enjoy the unexpected. You have read those self help books right? saying you attract to yourself whatever happens to you? Well, I am putting that into practical use and getting feedback. I see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a flower. I see infinity in the palm of my hand and eternity in an hour.

I am unique london Poor simon is feeling the cold, because he has flu or something. I don't have colds, and I dont feel the cold so much. I don't know whether it is my mainly meat diet, or just my mind believing that I am warm and so I am. It is mind over matter. Whatever the mechanism, the end effect is that I can tolerate the cold and so dont need the heating on so much. It is very good, because I am determined to withstand the cold without heating if I can help it. I switch the heating on when simon is here. At the moment, Simon has gone to his mum's house in /Essex, so I can leave the heating off. I would like to develop the body mechanism whereby the body generates its own heat and so I dont feel the cold. I was seeing a program on tv, about twins who lived with the natives in the arctic, and there, they mentioned that the locals have hunter hands. They can unhook the fish from their line, without their hands freezing, because it periodically reflexively dilates the blood vessels in the hands making them warm. So the hunters dont feel the cold. Now that is something I would like to acquire. The native hunters eat meat all the time. I see the way they live and their diet and I want to mimic them as much as I can because I am so desirous of not feeling the cold, something that they have mastered. I see Simon suffering from flu, and I thought hmm, 'if I were him, I would look at someone who does not suffer from flu, and mimic him'. In other words, I would mimic myself. Because he can see I dont have colds or if I do get them, it goes off quick. But of course, it does not happen, no one is that observant of another. No one really observes how someone else lives their lives. So they repeat the same old habits, and their health problems continue. And then they ask why? Sometimes they are so unaware, they dont even ask why. haha. And what is obvious to me also is that no one else can tell them what they are doing that is producing the results they are getting. In other words, even if u tell them, they just wont be able to see it. I see his diet and smoking and drinking habits are a big factor in his proneness to ill health. Also his strange inability to dress warmly. He would go about half clad. Ah well, what can one do, like my mother would say about me which I overheard 'what to do, he will do whatever he wants.' haha. I am beginning to see what my mother had to contend with, when we were growing up. Because now I look back at myself in the past, I too showed all this seemingly stupid ways. Luckily, I was very young, so can do all those silly things and not have it affect me that much. I imagine if I were to continue like that in my now older body, it won't be able to brush off the effects that quickly. The young body heals remarkably fast and can take any amount of abuse. I thank her in hindsight that she never nags me. So now, I do the same for simon. I dont nag him. haha. All I say is to myself... 'his soul wants it'. I am not kidding when I say I am unique.

transmigration of souls london Time is very different when you are not working. Time is fluid. I woke up just now, thinking it is very late, or rather very early in the morning, but it is only 11.23pm. How can that be!! I thought I went to bed at about 10pm, and thought I slept quite long time. Simon is sound asleep. he went to bed early. He has to work tomorrow. But do u know what? I feel perfectly happy waking up whenever I wake up. This is because there is nothing tomorrow I have to wake up early for. What bliss not to have to work. People dont realise how time is a tyrant on their lives, until they stop work. What's more, the flat is not cold at all, so I dont even have to switch on the heating. This has been a very mild winter. Around this time of year usually, it is so cold, the ears ache. But not this year. I am thinking of all that money I saved not wasting it in heat, and that alone is enough to make me laugh. hehe. Usually in the dead of night, people wake up to their fears and feel depressed, especially when there is no one to talk to, and they want to sleep, because they have to wake up tomorrow but they cannot and they make themselves even more anxious. What a way to live life. Awful isn't it? There is a funny movie showing now. 'All of me' starring steve martin, and lily tomlin. Rich Lily dies and her soul transmigrate to her niece, or is meant to but something went wrong and it transmigrated to steve martin's body instead. Steve martin acts her attorney in the film. I had planned to read or get online, but I think I shall see the film instead.
