Father Christmas

mok45 — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 08:26:19 +0000

Talking to a couple of pensioners and deservedly so, they told us of the time they took their own kids and grandkids on a Christmas cruise to Norway. As they approached Norway, the skipper invited every body to the top decks, for some useful information. As they all gathered he went on to tell them the history of this mighty Iceberg, which was awsomely inspiring. The skipper turned his address into a kind of pantomime for his excited audience, as he explained the history of the all imposing Iceberg. Can you see the tiny Island just to the left of the Iceberg, they all yelled that they could, oh no you can’t he retorted, oh yes we can they shouted in excitement. Well, he paused, that is where Santa Claus lives, he then went on with his historic speech about the Iceberg. Sadly, the mood of the ships people had changed, what he had told them all had changed things dramatically for all concerned. They had become excited beyond measure, not just the grandkids, but the adults also were spiritually moved. The skipper carried on with his well rehearsed information, but it was falling on deaf ears. Clearly, a boat could be seen leaving that tiny Island and it was approaching the Black Watch cruise ship. The excitement was so euphoric that even the skipper lost track, he too became caught up in this amazing fantasy. In no time at all the boat was right in front of the cruise ship, and there for everyone to witness was Santa Claus. The euphoria turned into tears of disbelief and happiness. The pensioner told us how everyone was crying, including himself and his wife. Didn’t we cry love, he said to his wife, it broke my heart she exclaimed. Even though we were not there, we shared their lovely compassion for that wonderful enlightening experience.

Hindsight Wisdom

mok45 — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 13:03:55 +0000

Our thinking process includes every thing we need to know, it is the power of thought, desire and craving that motivates us to go out and achieve. Without these intangible dimensions we would do nothing, therefore life would be a permanent drudge of nothingness. Even so, when we have eventually pursued the achievable, happiness lasts only a short time until another desire or craving emerges, to motivate our human form. The consequences of all of this persistent process eventually wears us out by direct experience. It is then and only then that our thinking process arrives at an impasse, where do I go from here, what is my purpose in life after all of this achieving and striving, leaving me disillusioned and spent, where do I go from here, we say ???

Common Sense

mok45 — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:36:25 +0000

I have just recently become a member of the blogging fraternity, is it me and my kind of subjects or does it take time. looking at some of the topics of conversation, it would appear that I am way out of touch with society. They seem alien to my way of thinking and way out of touch. Surely more common sense conversations haven’t disappeared off the face of the earth have they ???…The word cool, crops up many times from bloggers in conversation, cool about what, or have I missed something in the forever transition of life. Methinks there is too much celebrity nonsense going on nowadays, there is no such thing as amateur sport nowadays it’s all about the greed of affluence and materialism. The word ordinary doesn’t appear to apply in todays climate, people talking in different modes and context is all very bizarre and incomprehensible. Maybe blogging is not for me, because I don’t understand it or even want to, but I must give it time. It would appear also, that the globes people are not entirely happy about life and the way we are going, and without being cynical or pessimistic in any way, is something extraordinary or adverse coming to the globes people, because it is for certain, that things are not right….

PHILOSOPHY

mok45 — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:13:58 +0000

My best friend and personal mentor, my late grandfather, was the best thing that could have happened for me personally. Being told of his harsh existence when I was a young naive boy gave me many things to compare in my own development of growing. Losing the lady he dearly loved the year I was born turned my grandfather into an atheist because he could never understand why any god would take his wife, leaving him to rear eleven children alone and without any assistance in those harsh years which included wars.
Even though I witnessed his bitterness and pain even poverty, he remained a kind compassionate and caring man. Without a god to guide him he could say the most wonderful things, and it is only with the benefit of hindsight, that his wisdom eventually manifested for me. When doing wrong, he told me often, that it will come home to us cock, his very own expression of truth. Now I realise that somehow my grandfather knew how life worked without any kind of faith apart from his own direct experience of life. His wisdom can only be Karma or action, the scientific law of cause and effect. His other pearl of wisdom, was, It’s Nice To Be Nice, even as a kid I somehow knew his wisdom was absolutely right, and it has been my personal guide for my own living experience, because it is paradoxically correct and true. However, it has to reciprocate, ebb and flow naturally for it to manifest totally. Should it not, then something will always be missing and we will feel it within where all things are processed. We must try hard not to condemn or judge and just move on, as difficult as it may feel. Should we not, then anger and bitterness can manifest making matters worse. This is how it became for my best pal, he could never let go, and I just wish I had the wisdom then as I have now, thanks to him and his guidance. There is no death, just a transition from one dimension to another, like day into night merging inseparably. This is why they are always around us, both inside and out as omnipresent energy, we will never lose them, or the things that we too, cause by action or karma.mettasuttasatsang. Thank You

MULTICULTURISM

mok45 — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 12:35:58 +0000

The only problem with multiculturism, is the common language of communication, however, where there is a will there is a way. In the UK, it is because we are an island which makes us kind of lazy, therefore we have no need to speak any other language because in a way we are lazy, with all the best intentions of course. Generally, the globes people are all the same, basically wanting the same things to strive and achieve. Even so, it is nice to witness how the other half live their lives with their different cultures and religions, and of course their points of view. Impermanence and change is how the universe functions and so do we, whilst we seek change, we also want permanence of a kind, this is where our diverse attitudes can help each other, because we want it. The majority of us are not racist or even fascists we find it abysmal and completely unnecessary, we want it eradicated from the planet. Even so, we all have to synchronise our thoughts and wisdom for the benefit of all the countries of the world, which has absolutely nothing to do with wealth, status or the celebrity separation attitude. These kind of material poisons cause segregation by wealth and attitude, they have nothing to do with compassion or caring only the ego and ignorance. I’m a celebrity, get me out of here is that personal rubbish which bombards us every now and then, because those who enter into it their carriers are on the wane. What about the global hungry and jobless, where not even hope is on the horizon, we desperately want to help them all but somehow can’t. Donations of kindness being diverted by some creep in the line who only cares about his or her welfare. talk to me.Martin

Is there any body out there

The new kid on the BLog is waiting for action with an itinery of any topic of conversation. Over ten days and still no Blog, whats up doc. Someone told me the best way to talk is to Blog, at present that advice is sparsely false and ill advised. Buddhism is my forte, having written nine books on the subject of its self and the life we live. I joined the BNP, to hopefully attempt to save our country. Please do not use those eternal accusations of racism or fascism, they have become old hat and effectively useless. Should they have been true then I personally would never have joined, nor would thousands like, so let’s move on. Six years with the army and thirty with the Fire & Rescue service requires discipline and self preservation in team work.So forget the selfishness and consider selflessness and that is the essential point of saving good old Great Britain, if in your opinion it is worth saving or not. If not then kindly do not return a blog it will be pointless…Sincere thanks. Im Waiting
