Meaning of words :(egyptian/greek)

religion the gathering of all energies ...

unknown - is the MOST beautiful word (thats living,right?) learning growing sharing

love - selflessness and misused word MOST

Ego - the true opposite ( above) and MOST misunderstood

I - Is The we

aloha - my mind ( spirit ) greets your mind ( spirit)

ma halo, with open minds(spirits) and acceptance of new ideas together.

 Zen - meditative absorption in which all dualistic distinctions are eliminated.

maybe,true love is religion(read above), to mediate maybe is a way to gather those energies(love) ,and maybe observing with no conflict is a way to give back that energy(love)to all human beings!?(random act)

Kindness, Is It In You?Posted October 10th, 2010 at 10:19PM
 we never think about being virtuous. we are only concerned with treating people as we'd like to be treated.
 we are very compassionate people and a true friend. we don't have a hateful or prejudiced bone in our body.

we are good to people because it's the right thing to do. we don't expect anything in return.
we highly value friendship and personal contact. we try to make as many friends as possible.

The art of living in our daily life

Posted:

This freedom is not an ideal, a thing to take place eventually. The first step in freedom is the last step in it. It is the first step that counts, not the last step. What you do now is far more essential than what you do at some future date. Life is what is happening this instant, not an imagined instant, not what thought has conceived. So it is the first step you take now that is important. If that step is in the right direction, then the whole of life is open to you. The right direction is not towards an ideal, a predetermined end. It is inseparable from that which is taking place now. This is not a philosophy, a series of theories. It is exactly what the word philosophy means - the love of truth, the love of life. It is not something that you go to the university to learn. We are learning about the art of living in our daily life. - Letters to the Schools Vol. 1

  ...still live in a violent world!,
 see it, open your doors its there.

...are the most dependent , independent people (U.S.) !!!

...still ask for the truth (i dislike cliche)
 we know the truth,or are we just stupid?

...dont want the responsibility!!!
  
...are responsible for everything!!! every human being bottomline!!!! (it starts with self,right?)

...can change, not with timethought(past/future),ego'me'. (look at history-fact-)
 

-----everything starts from within,right?--------

 SEEING(looking): is it possible for the mind not to have images, conclusions, beliefs, memories, prejudices, fears, and without scripts, and just to look? when there is  seeing you cant help but acting. there is no question of postponement   like the cat, the action and the seeing are one,right?  when action is based on a belief, conclusion,idea,fear,desire - everything - then that action is time-binding(past-future thought). and that action will inevitably bring conflict and regrets;  prejudice,idiosyncrasies, wishes, pleasures, fears, so therefore what do we see about ourselves?
LISTENING(communication):  do I ever hear the other? or hear her, him, through the scripts we have built ,SCRIPTS of: irritations,  annoyance, domination,the knight, nurturer, the void filler ... so do we ever hear directly, what the other says, without translating, transforming it, twisting it? "do we ever hear a bird cry, or a child weep, or a man crying in pain?  do we ever hear anything?" jk ...  without any interference, interpretation, conclusion,judgement, memories
EFFORT(from learning):"  That is, I listen to the statement: beauty can never exist without passion, and passion comes from sorrow. I listen to that statement. I don't abstract an idea from it, or make an idea from it. I just listen. What takes place?(now) You may be telling the truth, or you may be making a false statement. I don't know because I am not going to compare." jk
 I just listen means: gives total attention - just listen, to look, what is to learn - give my total attention to what is said then it doesn't matter what is or isnt said,right.
maybe leads to pure: perception - awareness - seeing - communication ...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Dunning kruger effect).
 
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which an unskilled person makes poor decisions and reaches erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes.[1] The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority.
This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence: because competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. "Thus, the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."[2]

  

you see a sunset and there is an immediate reaction of joy. That joy, a few moments later, becomes a memory. That memory of the joy, is it a living thing? Is the memory of the sunset a living thing? No, it is a dead thing. So, with that dead imprint of a sunset, through that, you want to find joy. Memory has no joy; it is only the remembrance of something which created the joy. Memory in itself has no joy. There is joy, the immediate reaction to the beauty of a tree; and then memory comes in and destroys that joy. So, if there is constant perception of beauty without the accumulation of memories, then there is the possibility of joy everlasting. But it is not so easy to be free from memory. The moment you see something very pleasurable, you make it immediately into something to which you hold on. You see a beautiful thing, a beautiful child, a beautiful tree; and when you see it, there is immediate pleasure; then you want more of it. The more of it is the reaction of memory. So, when you want more, you have already started the process of disintegration. In that there is no joy. Memory can never produce everlasting joy. There is everlasting joy only when there is the constant response to beauty, to ugliness, to everything - which means, great inward and outward sensitivity, which means, having real love.

  A monk asked, "What is the essential meaning of Buddhism?" Mazu said, "What is the meaning of this moment?" One of the greatest dangers I see as an emerging trend regarding Buddhist practice is this notion that Buddhism is the means to obtain an end beyond that of overcoming dukkha. Whether it be a pursuit of happiness, or metaphysical attainments, or political goals, or social justice or even racial parity, these kinds of expansions on Buddhist teachings are misguided and very much beside the point. True, I as well as many others acknowledge that Buddhist practice has made for a happier, healthier disposition; but happiness as a goal in itself is just like many of these other strivings, just more attachment and more delusion.

  My daily activities are not unusual,
I'm just naturally in harmony with them.
Grasping nothing, discarding nothing...
Supernatural power and marvelous activity -
Drawing water and carrying firewood. ~Layman Pang


Love yourself and watch -
Today, tomorrow, always.
First establish yourself in the way,
Then teach,
And so defeat sorrow.
To straighten the crooked
You must first do a harder thing -
Straighten yourself.
You are your only master.
Who else? ~ The Buddha from the Dhammapada

and no i am not a buddhist. although is it the most beautiful  most personal of teachings.

If the World Were a Village of 100 People -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If we could reduce the world's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this: The village would have 60 Asians, 14 Africans, 12 Europeans, 8 Latin Americans, 5 from the USA and Canada, and 1 from the South Pacific 51 would be male, 49 would be female 82 would be non-white; 18 white 67 would be non-Christian; 33 would be Christian 80 would live in substandard housing 67 would be unable to read 50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation 33 would be without access to a safe water supply 39 would lack access to improved sanitation 24 would not have any electricity (And of the 76 that do have electricity, most would only use it for light at night.) 7 people would have access to the Internet 1 would have a college education 1 would have HIV 2 would be near birth; 1 near death 5 would control 32% of the entire world's wealth; all 5 would be US citizens 33 would be receiving --and attempting to live on-- only 3% of the income of "the village.
The original version of the STATE OF THE VILLAGE REPORT by Donella H. Meadows was published in 1990 as "Who lives in the Global Village?" and updated in 2005

 

 

 'dont  try to change others,listen to their need by listening to the quality of their words( ), to open the door of pure communication, to have the pure awareness to also see that need, that allows the clear-knowing to be shared ...
my discipline - learning - growing - giving  without conflict in the movement of life .
through living meditation and religion with true attention all day.


please look up at the root meanings of meditation and religion and discipline
on this blog  or anywhere.

maybe someone off the street asks for a drink of water, it is not giving them water,but how and why they asked,right? when obsevring we can give what they need not what we think they need,right?
from the heart,through the mind,to the hands.
