Moral Consistency
Date: Apr 17, 2005 10:31 AM
Subject: Moral Consistency
For a Muslim the end never justifies the means, no
matter what the aggravation. Unlike most un-Islamic
movements, who are Machiavellian even in excess of
their own teachings, the Islamic movement must be
principled in action.
How many people or parties actually practice what they
preach in either the executive or legislative branch
of government? These people and parties do not
subscribe to a spiritual and moral creed designed to
protect them from the hypocrisy endemic in the arena
of politics.
The interests of secular people change and are
translated into party programs, and these are often
directed toward the self-serving advantage of party
leaders, who sell out the interests of their
supporters for personal gain. They gain power easily
and manipulate it even more easily, because they are
not constrained by religious and moral obligations.
Instead they have objectives, strategies, and tactics
that need to he accomplished regardless of the cost.
In contrast, the labourers in the Islamic field do not
work for themselves. They are bound by religious and
moral obligations, which they cannot discard or
change.
This characteristic of moral consistency is based on
five principles:
a) Islamic work must not be contaminated by any
un-Islamic means in pursuit of its goals and
objectives, even if these means be only words or
slogans.
b) Islam is an organic whole and cannot be
partitioned. Giving up part of it is abandoning it
all.
c) Islam requires major effort and sacrifice.
d) Righteous people must be on guard against those of
the non-Muslims who have a disease in their hearts,
and the righteous must remain close to Allah so they
cannot be easily swayed or accept the imposition of
unsuitable solutions.
e) Truth and knowledge of right and wrong can be known
only from revelation, not from human reason alone, and
one must accept divinely revealed truth even it be
against oneĆ¢€™s will. From the Islamic perspective,
dishonesty and cheating people, regardless of how
small the matter, is hypocrisy.

Rakan Cop Nonsense
I really do think this RAKAN COP initiative is fundamentally flawed.
And I'll tell you why.
Policing is the job of the Police. By "Police," I mean "The Police,"
not "Polis" which means "city" in Greek, as in "Acropolis." See
http://www.athensguide.gr/pop/acropolis.html for details.
The Polis in Malaysia are generally corrupt, ineffective, inefficient
and a whole bunch of smokers. That has been my experience anyway. And
until I see evidence to the contrary, this impression will remain, I'm
afraid.
Instead of doing their job, which is crime prevention, making their
presence felt and presenting a deterrence; investigation (have you
solved the murder of your IGP from the 1970s or apprehend the driver
to the BAC 3061 bus that knocked me down in front of the USSR Embassy
in 1975, if not, there you are, you can't investigate even if your
life depended on it) the Royal Malaysian Polis (PDRM) prefer to sit in
the air-conditioned Pondok Polis and smoke, watch TV as I have myself
witnessed on numerous nights as I walk my dog.
The fact that their silly electrical chargeman "boiler-suit" uniform
is midnight blue doesn't help either. They can keep the blue-black
trousers, but for God's sake, put on a sparkling white shirt. Barulah
orang boleh nampak.
In their near-black ninja camouflage, the Polis love to hide behind
bushes where they can observe you beat the traffic light and then stop
you and make you feel humiliated and then they offer to take a bribe
instead of you having a summons with the incumbent risk of getting
your Driving Licence suspended. They love to do this at faulty
traffic lights, instead to taking charge and directing the traffic.
In my neighbourhood, the Polis have partially delegated their
responsibilities to a Neighbourhood Watch private company which
charges something like RM300 a month to do the job the Polis are paid
with tax-payers' money to do in the first place.
And now, they want to further delegate their responsibilities to RAKAN
COP. This is not the first time the Polis have proven they need to
have the heads screwed on right. Remember RUKUN TETANGGA fiasco from
the 1970s?
Listen, if you silly buggers say you are understaffed, have no
manpower and all that excuses and nonsense, didn't you know there are
18,000 UN-employed graduates in Malaysia? Why can't the Polis hire
them? We could do with some thinking Polismen out there. Graduates
would fit th bill, don't you think? Instead of SPM 3rd graders.
And these graduates would also make good forest rangers (God knows we
don't have enough of Perhilitan Enforcement Officers, Forestry
Officers, etc.). We need more people who can make Environmental Impact
Assessments (EIA), DBKL Enforcement Officers and what not. Many would
agree, that the problem with the HYPOcracy we live in is that we have
excellent laws but poor, selective or random ENFORCEMENT. Sometimes
CORRUPTION is ENDEMIC (like the MPAJ scandal, the TOYOL scandal, the
Sam Value scandal and what not. At least Lim keng Yaik had the decency
to step down.)
So my suggestion is DO NOT TAKE OVER THE RESPONSIBILITES of the POLIS.
Give them the resources, manpower, what-not and wherewithal to do
their job. Stop delegating their POWER and AUTHORITY to others or else
we will have a whole bunch of vigilantes and fascist blackshirts
striking terror into the hearts of every Tom, Dick and Harry on the
streets. If you allow this to happenedd, I can very easily see a bunch
of well-meaning but misguided self-righteous masjid folk forming a
religious police pasukan and terrorising the neighbourhood...
By the same token, if we allow megalomaniacs to rule our country, they
we will a society similar to Germany under Hitler, Spain under Franco,
Italy under Mussolini, USSR under Stalin, Iraq under Saddam and have
no one to blame but ourselves for it.
OF THE ROYAL MALAYSIAN NAVY & THE INDONESIAN ARMADA
I had a chat with the Indonesian actress and Elite Supermodel Dina
Olivia Jasin* and her friends Marsila and Titi on Friday and a retired
Brigadier General on Saturday about the incident where a warship from
the RMN and the Indon Armada "touched." Its funny how people who have
different backgrounds and levels of understanding can reach the same
conclusion ~ the two navies should work together to resolve piracy in
the Straits of Malacca instead of fighting each other. Why are they
too stupid to realise that they are both supposed to uphold law and
order and NOT fight each other. They are both on the SAME SIDE, their
COMMON enemy are the PIRATES!
Ngok, betul lah!
~~~> (",)::~~~
A friend from Penang has written to me to say that for someone who
professes peace, love and sharing, she sees a lot of HATRED in my
writing. So let me settle this ISSUE once and for all and then we
don't have to talk about it any more. (I hate having to keep repeating
myself ~ I'd rather make progress and go to the next level than go
around in circles.) LOVE and ANGER are flip-sides of the same coin,
the opposite is APATHY, or in the case of Malaysia, TIDAK-APATHY! So
make that paradigm shift and stop being in the trap of being a silly
and annoying moron! She threw a shoe or something at a woodpecker and
she wants to tell me about HATRED. Wait till you see RAGE! Like when
the spirit of the woodpecker pecks into the depths of your soul and
find it totally devoid of love... And then you wonder why you're on
the wrong side of 30 and still single? Perhaps you need to take a look
at that obese mass of protoplasm you call your body through your
newly-acquired spectacles (no, not the ones you sat on, the new pair)
and see what others see when they look at you! That'll be an
eye-opener, for sure!
I love people, I love the world and I love are the creatures in it. In
fact, I just love all of Allah's Creation, from the quark to the
space-time continuum to the Cosmos in infinite dimensions. But their
are EXCEPTIONS. The exceptions are the people, the system, the
processes or whatever that undermine the things that I treasure,
cherish and relish. Let's take for example that TOYOL character. I'm
sure most of you remember a photo of a defiant TOYOL in the Malay Mail
with the headline NO HARM DONE! This TOYOL has been telling that lie
to himself for so long that he actually believes it. And his CRONIES,
the ass-licking, boot polishing, ampu bodek, carry-balls CRONIES
re-inforce this delusion. Don't you think its CRIMINAL that TOYOL is
still in office and has access to State documents and can cover this
tracks, Enron-style with a shredding machine? WHY DOESN'T the Bachelor
Sultan ot the Pradana Pak just charge the bugger and have him stand
TRIAL?
Now picture this: the PRADANA PAK in his executive or RMAF heli saying
TERKEJUT when he saw the environmental devastation over Bukit Cerakah.
Surely, he has flown in choppers before. Has he never bothered to look
out of the window? How can you see but not observe?
P.S.
* I have Dina's address if anybody wants to send her fan mail.

Talking to Animals During Lucid Dreams
after Days Without Dinner, Life has Never Been the Same Since!
I lucid dream every night, I astral travel the cosmos, my unconscious
connects with cosmic intelligence. I hear the sea animals talking to
me about The Black Shit called OIL (fossil fuels). It's Pandora's Box
that is causing global instability ~ war, global warming. The turtles
told me they don't land at Rantau Abang, East Coast, Peninsular
Malaysia, South China Sea because they were frightened by the bright
lights and flames from the oil refineries in Paka and Kertih. So they
thought they were heading to the wrong place and got lost and died
full of ripe eggs but nowhere to lay them. They were eaten up by other
sea creatures and physically rejoined the cycle of life as part of
another creature.
The tapir that was shot in Besut, Trengganu by the Thai hunter just
said, "what the fuck did I do?" I was just there minding my own
business, living peacefully. at one with the jungle and Universe, just
chilling, when the Thai hunter who wants to use my body for worship,
blew my brains out. All he had to do was talk to me in his mind and I
WOULD HAVE GUIDED HIM or God or whatever he wants to call it. Just his
silly need for my body which is a moving value. What he really wants
is to fufill a need for SIGNIFICANCE.
And the Barking deer what was frightened by the development in Bukit
Antarabangsa, Ampang, Selangor and roamed into someone's house. Bambi
felt the love emanating from there and wanted to bask in it and the
safety of the refuge it afforded before finding it's way back to the
ENCROACHED PERMANENT FOREST RESERVE but the pack of wild dogs owned by
transient contractors (bricklayers, carpenters, wiremen, casual labout
from Vietnam, etc.) from the housing development. It didn't ask to die
of CAPTURE MYOPATHY. It didn't ask to be pumped up with MAJOR
TRANQUILIZERS and taken on a shaking and vibrating long journey to
Malacca Zoo. All the owner needed to do was respond with some love
and kindness. PLEASE ASK THE SULTAN who as Ruler is Steward on Earth
for Allah's Creatures to feel some RAGE and have the COURAGE to sort
out the developer and that traitor Mohd Karl TOYOL who has sold his
soul to godless CHINESE developers who in thier ALI BABA shrewdness
have left you with nothing but the CERTAINTY to face the GUILT and
REMORSE all by yourself.
The MAD HATTER had faith in you when he got the SULTAN to appoint you
the Chief Minister of Selangor Darul Ehsan. But you have BETRAYED that
trust and for the sake of your own GREED and need for SIGNIFICANCE
(short people syndrome ala Napoleon Bonaparte), you created the BUKIT
CERAKAH SCANDAL. Shame on you. I bet your soul feels like in the
centre of the sun right now, you pompous little greedy boy
masquerading as a politician. THE MAD HATTER didn't really appoint you
for whatever qualities you thought you were led to POSSESS, you were
just an innocent SCAPEGOAT he used to ged rid of MIKE TYSON, another
megalomaniac who thought he could obtain land ownership rights by
marrying the old Sultan's daughter. He got a fucking MEDAL instead.
Fat lot of good a a fucking medal is, FEEDS the EGO, that's all!
gotta go, lunch at PJ Hilton in 20 minutes
much love

LASER EYES
Note:
I went to the optician yesterday and for the first time noticed the silver annulus I have around my outer pupil.
My readings are:
RIGHT
S -2.75 C nil A nil
LEFT
S -3.25 C -1.25 A 174
S -3.25 C -1.25 A 175
Pupil Distance = 66 mm
VD = 12.00 (whatever that means)
But then, the optician wrote down in ink:
R -275
L -350 -125x170
He didn't expalin why he did this, so that's why I'm not going to that Optician again.
LATEST UP DATE
Had my eyes tested yet again, this time at 9 pm on April 16, 2005 by Nurliah Sulaiman of England Optical at Bangsar Shopping Centre. The device was a German machine. Here are the results:
RIGHT
Spherical -3.50 Cylinder -0.00 Aspherical 0
LEFT
Spherical -4.00 Cylinder -1.00 Aspherical 173
We then did an elaborate manual test and Nurliah revised the prescription to:
RIGHT
Spherical -3.00 Cylinder -0.00 Aspherical 0 (6/6)
LEFT
Spherical -3.25 Cylinder -1.50 Aspherical 172 (6/6)
For near vision, add +1.75
Mr Leong, my neighbourhood sinseh (Chinese Medicine Man) gave me this Recipe for Better Eyesight.

Thank you for the lovely photos which I received with appreciation and

maybe I should say "laser" eyes! Maybe its because of their burning

UNDERSTANDING DOGMA
From: Azlan Adnan
Date: Apr 9, 2005 8:27 PM
Subject: UNDERSTANDING DOGMA
To: prowaris@yahoogroups.com
dogma can only be thoroughly understood from a perspective OUTSIDE the
dogmatic system
you need to project a viewpoint from OUTSIDE the system and look AT
the dogmatic system
any body of dogma is merely a system of laws (or rules) that is
self-consistent within the dogmatic system. In other words there is no
one-to-one correspondence or one-to-one mapping.
At the most fundamental level, THE MAP is not the TERRITORY. or
IT IS ONLY A GUIDE or MODEL of the UNIVERSE
questioning the dogmatic axioms are PROHIBITED (haram) from within the
system as the axioms provide order and structure in a universe with an
appearance of randomnesss and entropy
as such, the GUIDE will be SILENT on many issues because it consists
of a finite number of elements WHERE ELSE the UNIVERSE is INFINITE
this is a useful tool for examining any body of dogma, ISLAM, Roman
Catholic Church, Fascism. whatever

Subject: ORANG MELAJU & ARABIC
To: prowaris@yahoogroups.com
i am sick and tired (layu already, actually) of this melayu debate.
MELAYU root word LAYU KAYU BAKU BEKU
obviously from a purely memetics point of view Raffles invented the
word "MALAYO" (first used in 1812 to accurately describe the set of
ethnicities ranging from acheh, bugis, boyan, jawa and the whole rest
of it in the archipelago which Sukarno hijacked and invented the word
INDONESIA instead in the mid 20th century.
which by the way from a cultural folklore point of view bears many
similarities with Maori and Polynesian languages (congruent roots,
perhaps?)
perhaps we should think out of the box and come out with a better name
~ Bahasa MELAJU instead. LAJU MAJU i think this better already
I'd be proud to be an ORANG MELAJU at least i have a hope of MAJU
much better prospects from a memetics point of view.
if anybody thinks its big time TABOO to mess about with language like
this, doesn't understand the concept of living versus dead language
As a point of departure for discussion I do hallucinate this is a
whole lot of crock as all it'd do is feed the melayu ego anyway. in
the big scheme things many more people speak Bahasa Indonesia (what
200 million at last count?) than the piddling 20 million Bahasa Melayu
and don't give me that shit about Bahasa MALAYSIA because it does NOT
reflect NATIONAL Literature. Every NATIONAL language discussion has
been solely about bahasa melayu and not include cantonese or hokkien
or tamil - the other predominant languages spoken in Malaysia. that's
probably why i find the whole debate a gridlocked tautology
If we really want to MAKE A DIFFERENCE make english and ARABIC
(language of the holy book and all that, if you truly believe it)
AVAILABLE as subjects in ALL schools. I particularly like to see
people emote in arabic as they recite. I really do think if meaning is
added to the syntax the memetic codes will run and love and peace will
reign in the world and bush will have his bush on fire.
the singlemost important reason why the arabic/muslim world is so
effed up is that although you get the resonance frequencies right
(tajuwid and all that), if there is no MEANING added to the syntax the
codes simply WILL NOT RUN. they reciters simply will not be enabled or
empowered as just as well be talking heads or parrots
and please don't make it effing COMPULSORY (favourite word in
Malaysian pedagogy). That puts people off straight away and makes it a
non-starter to begin with. You must always give people a choice; as
CHOICE empowers people as CHOICE provides divergent CONSEQUENCES
makes you wonder if anybody teaches DECISION SCIENCES in Malaysian universities
anyway, imagine a world where people emote arabic as they recite the
quran. don't you think that will make people SURRENDER TO PEACE, SHARE
LOVE & ROCK THE WORLD! ?
hmmmmmmm
something to think about...
don't you think the world needs a another peace revolution and don't
you feel happy to part of it? If yes, say yes, step up, defy the odds
and spread this slogan around the globe:
SURRENDER TO PEACE, SHARE LOVE & ROCK THE WORLD!

Subject: Re: [ProWaris] Digest Number 131
To: prowaris@yahoogroups.com
Before we launch into a splitting hairs type of debate about this
haram/markruh/halal issue, can someone provide the definitive *HUKUM*
on what constitutes these various states of edibility. Are these hukum
man-made? Does a committee of ulamaks sits down every so other and
define the parameters? or are the parameters absolute?
what are the penalties for breaking the hukums?
at the most fundamental level, we are what we eat, literally. Each
atom of food that gets digested because part of the nebulous, fuzzy
system we call our body. I say nebulous and fuzzy because we are
literally not the same person today a we were yesterday. We have shed
many skin cells, hair, exhaled carbon dioxide. we have eliminated
undigested cellulose and other such shit.
We cannot step into the same river twice.
~ Heracles
Also, what is the definition of MENGHAYALKAN? My hallucination is that
it means addiction. Which is a closed feedback loop. Like how about we
taste and swallow some of our own spunk? Is that a form of
cannibalism? Our drink human milk from your wife's breasts while she
suckling your offspring? Would the human colostrum be better that
bovine colostrum as in BioYoung? Or what about HUMAN placenta extracts
as in CLARINS anti orange peel cream. Or would you prefer instead to
eat hasima (FROG SALIVA - winter hibernation from cocoon) because it
has anti-whatever properties that you you skin as smooth as a frogs?
(Frogs have smooth moist skin, unlike toads.)
Or maybe if the reptile is MUSLIM like from Arab lands, a lizard
called DHAB ~ makes it HALAL. Then we can sapu the oil extracted from
the lemak of the DHAB SALAI (smoked) on our body for whatever ailments
those LEARNED and medically QUALIFIED (not!) street touts who ply at
Jalan Masjid India.
or maybe we can extract human pheremones from the lemak of human
cadavers to sapu on people we want to charm. Or maybe grave-digging
not much fun and too scary for you and you prefer to manufacture the
pheremones yourself in that temple you call your body. Just exude LOVE
and be IN FLOW and the pheremones (remember they have to be
complementary to the polarity of your intend victim) with be made. Or
maybe since you're in love even the kentot of your lover also wangi
and you can use that as air freshener!!! How about that?
Or maybe we can use some PORCINE derived immuno whatever in order to
save lives. Maybe the end DOES justify the MEANS. Politicians always
say that, BUT never the corrupt ones. They are HYPOcrites. They would
DO and THINK something but never admit they did it. Like RM20 million
or whatever in Gold Coast. or they may start in innocence but they
feel stupid they are not sapu-ing tanah or duit rakyat when all the
rest from top down are doing it. Esp the predecessor aka kelana Jaya
and Glomac and all those rumours that we keep hearing in taxis and on
the streets. people talk. people think. Are we going to let the
THOUGHT POLICE loose on them too?
I would LOVE to envision an empowering future where SMOKING is HARAM.
The tobacco lobby has managed to hoodwink world opinion for the past
50 years while making TONS of money. Look at BAT share prices!!!
There is even a conspiracy theory that claims the tobacco farmers
spray some chemicals MACAM PESTICIDE-type on the tobacco leaves so
that we become addicted to that type of tobacco. Of course, to be
COMPLETELY xenophobic, the chemicals are made by YEHUDI companies in
AMERIKA. Of course, you have the freedom of choice to not believe in
conspiracy theories and continue to ENJOY the FREEDOM of making
choices that will consequently lead to CANCER so that you pass the
BURDEN of paying for your MEDICAL BILL to the TAX-PAYER. After all,
ythe tobacco TAX is so high and there is TRANSPARENCY in our
government so that we can see that the MONEY - MILLIONS OF IT - is
used to fund cancer research at IMR or whatever.
Similarly, we can make handphones haram if we want to. Latest research
from FINLAND show that radio frequency (RF) energy from handphones
causes the brain temperature to rise, literally frying our brains. We
can choose to spend more research on this or we can live in DENIAL
like we did for the TOBACCO industry the past 50 years. The choice is
ours, as individuals and also as a collective voice. Hmmmm something
to think about...
Maybe the truth is also vague, like for example, uncertain as in
Heidelberg UNCERTAINTY principle. Maybe the truth is somewhere in
between, or within the electron cloud.
Or made in the sound of the human voice. You can tell from the voice
when politicians are lying through their teeth, can't you?
See http://www.newpara.com/Sharry_Edwards.htm
Hmmm Something to think about...
Of course my Utopia would probably be called AKALPIA where there are
no fossil fuels being used. Where the API can be determined daily by
leaving out an A4 sheet of paper and observing the dust that settles.
Where were don't have to get CLASSIFIED SECRETS like APIs. Where we
use our AKAL instead to NAFSU to guide us. Where there is no
pollution, like in the kampung where we can pluck rambutans and
pulasan and nyok and apples and pears and strawberries direct and
makan just like that. Where when we fly in our government chopper on
the land at 1000 ft we do not see the scars on the morphology of our
country. where we don't see the rivers bleeding with silt and
earthworks and open clearing like pimples or even kudis kudis
bernanah.
Our VIP cabinets ministers fly around on executive jets and choppers
and yet they are blind. perhaps they need to have their heads re-wired
so that they can see the TRUTH even as they stare it in the face. then
tak payah TERKEJUT. How come everybody else can see but not those who
have executive power. How come enforcement officers care so corrupt?
Like police so incompetent and bodoh and fucked UP. Hisap ROKOK all
day long perhaps. BAC 3061 sometime in 1975 in front of Soviet Union
embassy. okay lah that one only concerns me and my near death
experience. HOW ABOUT in the early 1970s. IGP kena assassinated. big
time case macam tu put cannot solve.
And want to delegate their Policing responsibility to NEIGHBOURHOOD
WATCH COMPANY run by retired police officers. So that they are given
the opportunity to earn DUIT HARAM or part time side income.
HEY, HELLO? It is the job of the police LAH. You got not enough
manpower YOU SAY?, got 18,000 jobless graduates lah. Cannot train them
to become ENFORCEMENT officers ah? or is that too big a cognitive leap
of faith for you to take?
Listen, YOU BETTER train these GRADUATES properly if you want them to
become effective, efficient and excellent enforcement officers. Your
rakyat are SCARED SHIT. We have Burmese, Bangla, Indians, Indos,
Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Ukrainian, Mongolian etc in our
midst. Your ENFORCEMENT officers better know how to communicate and
interrogate and cross-examine in these languages besides taking down
reports and statements lah
The good news is that in AKALPIA our multi-racial, multi-cultural,
multi-lingual, multi-faith rakyat will become a poly-racial,
poly-cultural, poly-lingual, poly-faith rakyat and then a FUSION
CULTURE.
Like when I got back to KLIA on Friday last week, the first words that
greeted me at the x-ray machine after baggage collection were:
"HELLO, SIR! FLAT YOUR BAG PLEASE!"
Itu lah keep having vanity and patriotism and BAHASA MELAYU comes
first and nationalism mentally and hidup under your tempurong, itu lah
jadi.
The above is nothing but a hallucation as i am a certified sonambulist
who also wakes up in the still of the night to type gibberish and
wakes in the morning with no recollection of any of this.

Hello Cristy
Lovely to hear from you! So lovely. I'm sorry I was so caught up with
the rat race that I didn't respond to you before I left for my Date
With Destiny in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast of Queensland,
Australia, near Brisbane. I had no intention of being rude but just so
many loose ends to tie up before I took my spritual retreat, as it
were. I have better clarity on my purpose in life now and I am more
goal oriented than in the previous habit of happily of making excuses.
~ When you don't have a destination. then any road will get you there. ~
I have understood what drew me to you when we met in Singapore. I just
felt the love you exude from every pore of your skin as pheremones,
from your aura as a biomagnetic field, in the kind words you say
(BioAcoustics see http://www.newpara.com/Sharry_Edwards.htm) the deeds
that touch my heart. Through your eyes into the window of your soul.
This is on top of being a top 1% world class beauty
I suppose it took for me to swim in the Pacific Ocean to understand
that at the cognitive level, besides AJR, I guess. I have always
relied on my RED (Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats terminology) or
in man-in-the-street talk, gut feeling. But some things need to be
understood at the cognitive level too.
If all this sounds too esoteric or mystical, please bear with me as I
have an idea to write a short story in a stream of consciousness genre
to illustrate what I mean. The female protagonist will be a composite
personality of you and of another young lady with high Spiritual
Quotient that I met at Date With Destiny. A vegan, who is a
personaification of love and affection and kindness. The story will be
set in a utopia where people talk to animals (as I do), have telepathy
(as I do), don't smoke (as I don't), don't burn fossil fuels, don't
have any addictions, enjoy life on a planet full of oxygen and love
and am at one with oneself, other creature and the universe. Where we
talk to all of God's creations. Where we meet UFOs and beings from
outer space on a daily basis and live with them in harmony. where we
speak in a universal mindspeak of love. In a fusion world that arose
from multi-ism to pluralism to poly-ism to fusion. Where peace is the
religion, where people live an eternity as their souls are immortal,
they time travel and astrotravel and the mind/body/universe merge in a
nebulous quantum fluctuation within the fabric of the space time
continuum.
A world of no wars as as Gandhi said:
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
When we have an eternity to live, we live life differently, an
original garden of eden like setting of sustainable organic farming.
Our garden is our farm, we talk to animals, ride horses and chariots.
Zoom around in sedgeways http://www.segway.com/
For now, I must be the change I want to see in the world. I'd like to
teach the world to think and love and contribute as we are connected
in a Gaia-like organic living planet James Lovelock-ian world. (No
wonder his name is LOVE-LOCK).
Anyway, this protagonist will be named Diana Hemmingway or Hemmings, I
haven't quite decided.
I hesitated to write to you earlier describing what I felt about you,
as it was quite profound. You're not just physically attractive, but a
human and humane being if a high spritual quotient. Wordworthian "She
was a Phantom of Delight-ish) Without understanding all this, six
months ago all I felt and could say to you was I like you and have
affection for you.
I'd like to honour you by writing this vision of utopia and if it is
in congruency with yours, please give me your permission to model the
personality of Diana Hemmings on my perception of you. Since our
meetings were brief, I have to use a composite personality deriving
other psychographic profiling data from this other spiritual being I
met at date With Destiny. It's all very avataristic, I know but kinda
playful and fun, what?
hhhhmmmmm
something to think about...
do write when you can spare a minute or two from your beloved family
and community
much love

THE PENNY DROPS - UNWRITHINKLE STUFF!
From: Azlan Adnan
Date: Apr 12, 2005 7:35 AM
Subject: THE PENNY DROPS - UNWRITHINKLE STUFF!
To: Blog
I made a conceptual error in my previous piece, below. I used the term
"peace Revolution" which is incorrect. Let me explain why.
The 60s saw a Peace movement, which was actually more of an ANTI-war
movement. It failed because of two reasons:
1) its slogan was
MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR
conceptually this is inaccurate because you cannot "MAKE" love, as in
manufacture it. LOVE comes from God, you merely "SHARE" God's Infinite
Love with those you interact with.
2) The anti-war movement was a "REVOLUTION," an anti-thesis to WAR.
Well, that's a not-starter as PEACE is a quiet, humbling, inner
tranquility. Those who feel peaceful, who have inner peace have a
sense of like their little smoking white, translucent (pearl?) sphere
of a soul is swimming in the green Sea of Tranquility. At least that's
the visualization I see. You may have a different visual perception.
Depends in the way your retina is configured, I suppose. Or is it the
capillaries of your inner eyelids? Or may be it has something to do
with the pineal gland? Somethings I still don't WRITHINKLE even at the
cognitive level and can't still intuit this mind phenomenon. But I
disgress.
Back to business at hand, If you are in an ANTI-something state of
mind phenomenon, you canNOT be an peace. You probably have some anger
or fervour or fanaticism (as in Hamzah Fansuri of Acheh and all that ~
read Syed Naguib Al-Attas's PhD thesis at McGill ~ THE FANATICISM OF
HAMZAH FANSURI) or whatever.
So, I hallucinate that Civilization is at the brink of a Golden
Opportunity. We need to possess COURAGE (as in Hemingway's Grace Under
Pressure in ^Death in the Afternoon^) grasp the bull (I'm liking this
matador metaphor) by the horns, seize the day (carpe diem) and embrace
this PEACE EVOLUTION.
Why COURAGE? Because being at PEACE makes us VULNERABLE. When our
*enemies* (I know it presumes a paranoid national psyche as in the
Yehudi Chosen Few whose raison detre appears to be PERSECUTION).
We need to have a critical mass of people in the world who are at
PEACE inside themselves. People who have LOVE in their hearts. With
every breath we take, every beat of the heart, every drop of blood
pumped into the aorta, every oxy-haemoglobin molecule coursing through
our tiniest capillaries, for the PEACE EVOLUTION to precipitate a new
era of civilization. I have a utopian vision of this which I shall
share later.... but the
GOOD NEWS
is that we already have that critical mass of PEOPLE at peace with
themselves in their hearts. The only thing is, they may not realise
it. They may individually, or in small groups, but not as a collective
conscience.
These budding PEACEmakers are called...
now get this:
MUSLIMS!
Every time a Muslim whispers BISMILLAH... in his or her heart, a soul
is at peace with itself, in relation to the body which is its vehicle.
Well, for some, you have to baca the whole Al-Fatihah to get into this
mind state. For others. the Surat Yasin. Others still, feel they have
to memorise the whole of the Quran.
The point is, Islam is about PEACE - that's what SALAM is, btw, in
case you haven't heard.
PEACE is that state of mind in which FEAR of any kind is unknown. But
JOY is a positive thing ~ in JOY, something goes out of oneself into
the UNIVERSE, a warm, possessive affluence of LOVE. There may be PEACE
without JOY, or JOY without PEACE, but the two combined, make
HAPPINESS.
Those who need a deeper cognitive understanding of this, before they
can take that intellectual LEAP OF FAITH, can read COGNITIVE THERAPY
by David Burns.
Once we declare UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT, that is, more accurately,
SURRENDER TO PEACE (old hat in new clothes, to mix metaphors), and
LOVE our enemies (as in the way Nabi Isa had shown), the WORLD will
change...
Okay, you now probably ready to read my VISION of UTOPIA.
see next post.
PS the Australians would probably say its BLOODY BAGUS!
NB Also, Malaysia is also a non-starter. I tell you why:
First mal- as a prefix already NEGATES whatever follows. PANASIA would
probably be a better bet. Malaria, Malaise are the common negative
associationships associated with Malaysia.
Let's check out PANASIA
PANASIA
ANASIAP
NASIAPA
ASIAPAN
SIAPANA
IAPANAS
APANASI
Not that great either as I see a lack of sense of self or identity, if
you like as in ANA SIAPA? I also see PANAS which connotes to war and
other *HEATY* things.
SIAP is good as it connotes a readiness.
APA NASI boggles the mind though! maybe it denotes a poverty, a famine
a bankrupt integrity. Like, whatever...

TUN MAHATHIR
From: Azlan Adnan

Subject: TUN MAHATHIR
To: Blog
DOES anybody know who is responsible for the MAHATHIR graffiti that we
see on the streets?
In case, you haven't seen it yet, its a portrait rectangle within
which is an image of Tun Mahathir in graphic black lines. I feel some
negative emotions when I seen this graffiti (aging, sickly, fading).
Does it have the same effect on others? Most possibly not, what do you
guys and gals feel when you see it.
There is usually one at the grey traffic control box at every traffic
light in KL/PJ. Keep on eye out for it as you drive around town
today...

RADIO 4 this morning
This is a good joke.
Just called RADIO 4 at 03-9543 3333, just before the the 8 o'clock
news this morning and gave my views about DIVORCE and REMARRIAGE but
Simon and Caroline said they couldn't air it as its about RELIGION!
Just fancy that, they try to discuss Marriage and Divorce divorced
from the context of RELIGION.
I hope they have a recording of our exchange. They would be lovely
EVIDENCE. Anyway, here is the gist of the conversation:
I started by saying that I support re-marriage as i have a
HUSBAND-IN-LAW, my ex-wife's present husband. We are like an large
extended family called his present (my ex) looks after his SIX
daughters from his previous 2 marriages. Actualy, his second marriage
bore no children.
One of them asked (Caroline, I think) how I thought values have
changed. I started by explaining much I admired John Paul II, as an
exemplary personification of someone who deserves to be honoured. Then
I constrasted this to the Vatican of old, at the time of the Borgias,
where the Pope encouraged INCEST, having his SON take the VIRGINITY of
his DAUGHTER. This is was way for the Vatican State to retain power as
the Pope married off his daughter in a marriage of convenience as a
way of consolidating power.
The Vatican has come a long way from when they burnt Joan of Arc at
the stake, persecuted Copernicus and Tycho Brahe for saying things
like the Earth is round, not flat; and that the Earth moved round the
Sun, not the sun around the Earth.
That's when they ask me to stop because they cannot talk about RELIGION on air.
They put Linda on, instead. They just don't have the courage to speak
with conviction.
This ideology of Hypocrisy we live in I, suppose. Or is it? Do we just
leave it at that and accept the status quo or do we STEP UP!?
hmmmmm
something to think about
