Articles attract people and search engines. Which is to aver that they are mainly written with this kind of audience in mind. The idea that articles are written for people goes without saying.

Nothing deep or pretentious today

2008-10-08T02:56:00.000-07:00

I could go and ponder the deep questions but this is kinda boring and I don't want to bore myself with questions that obviously cannot be answered by anyone least of all me. I was in Cagayan de Oro City last year and now I am back in this wonderful city and a lot of things have changed, most of all my picture of myself and what I should be. I am now planting things, bananas mostly but I could plant sweet corn if I get the go ahead for that project.

Cagayan de Oro City remains as always, a beguiling aspect of my life. Why this is so is completely beyond me. I have been washed up here and no one sees me as nothing more than an unwashed washed up derelict. I swim the tides of an ever glowing universe which has not given me any indication that it wants me dead. There must be something more that I need to do. Does that matter at all? I cannot see how it could be important but the universe decides and not me.

Making money

2008-04-20T18:16:00.000-07:00

Many people desire to make money online and I am no exception. I feel though a little jaded and don't really take anything about making money without a grain of salt. It's just that the many ways they say could make you money really takes too much effort and I find it tedious to be clicking on sites that keep on rotating like a merry-go-round, never ending and so endlessly boring. Still, the nternet is in my blood and I keep looking for one that will engage my attention and make me feel good and productive with my time on the net.

Mylot is one way of making money while having fun posting on things you care about.

Life

2008-04-02T06:56:00.000-07:00

What is life? This is not so difficult to answer when one is young and naive. There seems to be no reason to question what life is all about since one seldom has the chance to stop and ask questions such as this. At the twilight of one's life, one discovers that there has not been much added to the store of knowledge gained after one lifetime.

There are destinations that make it worth your journey. Having arrived at your destination you find that just like Ching's Way, there were more interesting things passed by. Everything could be illusory and Ching's Illusion is just one of those manifestations. All that the Internet can offer could not be made in a page and Ching's Best is just a small way of serving some of the best. The Internet is a web of interconnecting sites and Ching's Web is another one of the excellent ways to connect from one site to the next.

Thoughts of mortality

2007-12-03T20:01:00.000-08:00

There were times when my thoughts turned to my own mortality. I had always been afraid of dying as the thought seems completely anathema to the concept of life. As I grew older and as my life turned sour and totally unliveable, my thoughts turned to death. I figured that I could prepare for my next life in the remaining months or years that I would be allowed to exist. This is a stupid thought but I had this and considered it a valid plan of action. When it becomes personal then all philosophy goes out the window and emotions and feelings take over. I did not really want to die, I just thought that death was surely a better alternative to the life that I was living. Nothing could be more absurd as I was soon to realize. Maybe I was just tying to scare the universe into giving me a better deal.

If this life was so lousy, what assurances were there that the next would be better? None. There is a reason why this life is crappy and I should find out and try to live as best I can under my present circumstances. I should not complain and waste my time whining. I realize that thoughts of death are not really so uplifting after all. The Indians talk dying and waiting to die and this might be fine for them but for me, I would rather die with my boots on. There is no success in waiting for failure in the next life.

Creation Theory

2007-10-30T16:38:00.000-07:00

I guess there will always be questions about the origins of man and the world he lives in. This is necessary I think because man will think about these things at some point in his life. He will turn to his parents and elders and books for answers which he cannot find inside himself. If he is one of those lucky ones who are able to introspect hard enough and long enough he might find some interesting tidbits of information in his mind that would explain this origins and he might begin to teach about that. Would he be considered a prophet or a crank? That would depend on how convincing he is. If he is persuasive enough and has wits about him, he might be able to browbeat others into adopting his ideas. If he gets the ear of a strong man like a warrior-king then, his job gets easier.

If we look closely, the spread of the major religions came about dramatically when a sponsor, a king or a warlord, embraced the tenets and belief-system of these religions and made these official. Christianity spread like wildfire when Constantine, king of Rome and Constantinople decided, at the behest of his mother, to make Christianity the official religion of the Roman empire. The same is true of Islam which needed that tribes and cities had to be defeated in battle before it could be adopted by nomadic tribes which had their own brand of religion. King Ashok of India caused the spread of Buddhism not just in his kingdom but in other countries as well.

Creating Ching's World

2007-08-17T19:28:00.000-07:00

I digress a little and talk about creating Ching's World. It's not really much of a digression as it is part of my own consciousness and certainly merits some mention. Ching's World is a state of mind, a reflection of a view that speaks in its pages. The world as seen in the pages of Ching's World is a small portion of the vast cosmos. Deemed to be beautiful and fragile, this world needs to be protected from lack of care and concern.

The world needs to be cared for and it is not just the environment as everyone is saying. The world needs to be concerned with its people too, not just the young and the beautiful but also the ordinary-looking and unexceptional in achievement. Ching's World is not just about places but also about the people that live in those places.

Mind

2006-07-16T09:40:00.000-07:00

What is mind? Tantra tells us that mind is made up of three components or functions. The crudest part of mind is Citta, where imagination and mental pictures take up residence. The Citta takes the shape of whatever is being perceived by the eye and the other senses. More subtle than Citta is the Ahamtattva which takes the notiion of doing something. It is the portion of the mind which says "I do" or of performing actions. Subtlest is the Mahatattva which is the pure "I" feeling.

The mind which makes us do things is called the unit mind and is made of the same stuff as the Cosmic Mind. What then might differentiate the two? Cosmic Mind is the crudification of Pure Consciousness. Further crudification of the Cosmic Mind resulted in the expressed universe being created. At the point of the greatest crudification, life is born and with it the reflection of consciousness; it is in mind that consciousness is reflected. As more and more complex minds are evolved, so also the reflection of consciousness. In man, a very evolved mind is housed. Man uses this mind to ask about his origins. He seeks answers to questions which constantly pop up in his mind.

Life, for a man is m0re than just food and sex the way it is with animals. He needs to find meaning in his life. He stares up at the starry and wonders what his place is in the universe. It is the questions that he asks that distinguishes him from the rest of all that are alive. He uses his mind to find in meditation the secrets of the universe.

What is consciousness?

2006-06-24T10:01:00.000-07:00

Evidence of conscousness

Does consciousness exixt in a rock? Where does conscioiusness originate? If we are to accept the theory that all life and all things seemingly inanimate come from a Supreme Creator, then it would not be unreasonable to suggest that consciousness also comes from this Supreme Being. What about the consciousness in plants and animals? What is the nature of that consciousness? Is it an original type of consciousness? or merely a reflection of that Great consciousness? One could surmise that all types of consciousness really come from one source and is therefore similar if not the same as that source for could the water at a river delta be different from the water at the source of the river? There may be differences in quiality, clarity and purity but essentially it is the same water. Which is to say that the conscousness of a created being cannot be its own creation or that the water at the river delta magically appeared there without the agency of the source

What then about the rock which seems oblivious to the wars, worries and strife in the world, which sits on the ground with the other rocks and pebbles and stones and sand and soil, placidly, unmindful and uncaring about the shifts in power and the suffering of beings with a slightly higher degree of consciousness than it? If it also springs from the same Supreme Creator then it must also share some qualities of that Creator like, consciousness.

The stuff of life

2006-06-21T05:10:00.000-07:00

What we know about life

From observing our ourselves and our environment we are able to deduce some basic truths about life and being alive. The most obvious characteristic of a thing being alive is motion. When we see something move we conclude that it must be alive that is, if it moves of its own power. This is fairly obvious in insects and animals. Plants and trees are also alive and they only move when the wind blows or when they are pushed aside by a passing animal and they generally are rooted to the spot. They do not have the ability to move from place to place although they are able to distribute themselves over a vast area of land by adapting their methods of reproduction to suitable means like having insects and animals be the carriers of their seed or of having such light seeds that the wind can waft them away to develop somewhere else far form the original spot.

From this small observation we can alo deduce that insects and animals are probably more advanced forms of life. Without the tools of science to tell us we know that plants occupy a lower rung in evolution. They are more advanced than simple one-celled organisms and their manner of reproduction can be very sophisticated. Asexual reproduction is a simple way of reproducing oneself and works just fine for one-celled things but as organisms gain in complexity first by grouping together and specializing then by having different complex parts which are also specialized for a certain task the need arises for a more advanced method of reproduction. As more and more specialization occurs the organism develops higher faculties and capabilities. Sexual reproduction was invented by nature in order to speed up the process of evolution. Taking the strong and desirable properties from one and merging that with the best and finest of another would result in a much more vibrant and vigorous offspring.

That sexual reproduction occurs both in the animal and the plant kingdom is a testament to its superiority as a means of protecting the strength and promoting the number of the species.

Origin of life on Earth

2006-06-20T09:07:00.000-07:00

Earth life originated from Mars

i was told once that when Mars died as a planet, life in the form of really small, tiny microbial stuff transferred to earth probably hitching a ride on a Comet or a passing asteroid. It all sounded fanciful to me but I could not help being intrigued by the thought. A few years later, I read in the news of some kind of bacterial or microbial life being found in some rocks which could have originated from Mars. With a naughty twinkle in my eye I thought how far-fetched ideas could have a basis for being real or truthful after all.

This type of life was not carbon-based and could be said to be ectoplasmic in nature which is to say that they are made of mind-stuff. They could travel great distances through he medium of thought. This was totally mind-boggling to me but I liked the idea of such tiny things which were even more rudimenteary than proteins and which were more closely related to mind than matter. What comes to my mind is how ideas spread like viruses. Take he case of communism at the height of its power. It was the epitome of Matter over Mind where communist doctrine idolized matter over spirit. All art, literature, drama and science was to be utilized in the service of the Communist Ideology which was Dialectical Materialism.

Suppression of the ideals of freedom was ruthlessly imposed with hundreds of thousands being imprisoned or killed or sent to the Gulag in the case of the USSR and to wherever in countries like China and Yugoslavia and Bulgaria and the other communist states. Walls were erected to keep the population from leaving. What more materialistic way of imposing an ideology could you find? Guns, tanks, prisons, walls could not kill something intangible, something wihout shape, something which exists in the mind, felt in the heart, something spiritual if you will. Is this the triumph of Spirit over Matter? And what if the agency by which these ideas were transmitted were really the very stuff which travelled from Mars and made its home here on Earth?

Proteins and amino acids

From the Primordial Soup

The formation of the simple forms of life from the so-called primordial soup happened when the Solid Factor or earth was stabilized. Water had been created previously after Fire which preceded air. The ancient Indian texts might sound fanciful if not downright wierd and improbable if read without taking into account the various scientific evidences. If properly read with an eye on the discoveries of science one finds some real accurate descriptions of the world as it was created. True, the bible and some texts talk of the world being created in seven days and so influenced thinkers and scientists from previous centuries that some of them calculated the age of the earth at around 6,000 years. All of these calculations were based on the descriptions of the Bible which was taken to be literal truth instead of an Allegory.

We know that after the Big Bang, hydrogen which is the most plentiful element in the universe was created. This corresponds to the creation of Air after ether. Ether being subtler than air is not so easily apprehended but can easily be proven to exist by the fact that sound can be carried even without the presence of air thereby presupposing the the existence of another factor or medium that can carry it and which the ancient scientists called the Ethereal factor. Hydrogen is also the lightest element and from this element is formed other gases each heavier than the previous one. Helium is heavier than hydrogen and if one goes through the Periodic table one sees immediately the increasing weight of the succeeding elements as well as their properties of being gases and eventually solid.

The formation of large hydrogen clouds caused by gravitational attraction and making for ever-increasing density in a smaller space causes the temperatures to rise until Fire is created. This causes the outer portion of the hydrogen clouds to collapse into the the center or the core feeding the burning fire within while further attracting more hydrogen atoms into blazing inferno.

The Divine Wheel

Intuitional science states that the creation of the universe happened when pure consciousness felt the stirrings of desire to create. With the three forces being the Static Force, Mutative Force and Sentient Force in equilibrium, there is quiescence. If the balance is disturbed in one of the vertices of the Triangle of Forces and causes it to be active, a great force is unleashed resulting in the crudification of pure consciousness into the Cosmic Mind. The first stage is that of Pure conscioiusness or Mahatattva. Further crudification results in Ahamtattva denoting a sense of action and more crudification results in the formation of Cittatattva. From this cosmic mind is created matter.

At the point when earth is created, begins the arduous march of evolution, when matter must make its way back to its source which is consciousness. The four fundamental factors of earth, water, air and fire combine to create life in its simplest forms. Earth gives it the form, water is represented by the system where nutrients are delivered to its component parts, air allows the exchange of the various gases needed to survive, and fire is represented by the bio-electric energy known as prana in Indian Philosophy and Chi in Chinese philosophy. Life powered by the Active or Operative Principle becomes more and more complex as it marches up the ladder of evolution. This evolving complexity is dictated by its need to reflect more and more of the divine consciousness which in turn is needed to mange its evolution; that is, nerves and brain become more and more complicated giving rise to higher levels of awareness, of feelings and emotions.

Five Fundamental Factors

2006-06-05T18:27:00.000-07:00

Indian philosophy

According to ancient Indian scriptures, the universe is made up of five fundamental factors namely, Ether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth. These compose matter which in turn arose from the crudification of the Cosmic Mind. That is to say that Ether is cruder than mind but more subtle than air which can be felt even though it cannot be seen. Air in turn when crudified produces fire and this corresponds to Hydrogen and Oxygen combining to produce combustion the residue of which is Water. From water or the liquid factor comes earth or the crudest form of matter. From the intense heat of the earth's core is created liquefied magma which when cooled becomes solid or earth.

Chinese Philosophy

The Chinese view the universe in another way and classifies the various properties or characteristics of the universe in terms of its phases or stages: Earth, Wood, Metal, Fire and Water. These describe the various stages that can be observed of the earth and which can be applied to other areas of science like medicine and divination. The chinese way is more practical in its aspect than the Indian way which is more Intellectual in its approach. From this scientific view comes various branches of philosophy and practice like Kung Fu, Chi Kung, Acupunture, Accupressure, Feng Shui etc.

Soul Mates

2006-06-05T05:21:00.000-07:00

Soul mates . . . like two peas in a pod

At least once in a person\'s life he or she meets someone who is easy to talk to and he or she feels safe and comfortable with this person. It is said that there is a certain chemistry between them, chemistry because it cannot be explained otherwise. The attraction can be so great as to feel that one completes or fulfills the other. In this case they are described as being like two peas in a pod. The opposite can also happen: repulsion instead of attraction. What is going on here? It is said that the people that we meet in this lifetime are the very people that we have associated with in previoius lifetimes. Is this what they mean when they say soulmates? or in the opposite case, nemesis?

Love makes the world go round

Or should we say: desire makes the world go round. Atoms and electrons do their dance in the quantum world and changes are effected by their merging and separating. Galaxies collide and new worlds are created from their seemingly mindless rotations and collisions. Every second in the microcosm and the macrocosm there is change and fluctuation. This is also mirrored in the human mind when the forces of attraction and repulsion drive a person to desire one and hate the other. What is that thing called love? Does that exist at all or is it merely an ideallization of a phenomenon we can describe as magnetism? Is it a misnomer to say: One love? Is it merely an ideal or an impractical delusion of a mind struggling to simplify a complicated universe?

Beginnings

2006-05-31T19:35:00.000-07:00

The seat of consciousness

There are seven chakras identified by Tantric Yogis and the king of chakras reside at the top of the head. i is sometimes called the Pineal Gland and in sanskrit its name is Sahasrara Chakra. The lowest Chakra is called the Muladhara Chakra which is the residence of the four fundamental instincts or base instincts. The Muladhara Chakra is also the seat of the Kula Kundalini or the Coiled Serpentine.

Tantra

tan=darkness; tra=liberation. Tantra therefore means "that which liberates from darkness". Darkeness refers to Ignorance, the absence of the illuminating light of knowledge. Knowledge refers to the knowledge of one' s self, ones origin and true nature. It is said that man is made by some supernatural being for whatever reason. The scriptures talk about God and His plan. God is said to encompass everything which is to say that we are inside God and that He is everywhere around us and also within us. This idea is however not so obvious to us human beings much less to lesser-evolved creatures like dogs and goats and elephants. The reason why this is not easy to grasp is because we seem to be apart from the rest. Our natural boundary is our skin and everything outside of us can be dangerous or lethal. We therefore tend to get close to those of our species and to those of our color and language and creed. This sense of belonging gives us some measure of comfort and safety.
One rotation of the Milky Way Galaxy
The galaxy that shelters our planet takes 20 million years to make one rotation. Thinking about an average person's lifetime and comparing that to the time the galaxy takes to make one turn would seem to make the self -importance that man feels for himself a little out of shape in relation to the natural order of things. What is achieved in one lifetime of at most 100 years? What learning can be had in that span of time? After 80 or even 100 years can a man say: " I am ready to die. I have seen the depths and the heights. There is nothing more for me.to know." Very few if ever have had that feeling of completeness after one lifetime. Which brings us to the idea of birth and death and being born once more. Some call it Reincarnation but more correctly it is called Rebirth. If we are to accept evolution then the natural corollary would be birth and rebirth. Nature is very efficient. It wastes nothing. It recycles.

Nature wastes nothing

It would be wasteful for Nature to just destroy a mind or a soul. To place a mind or a soul in one place for eternity after a mere lifetime makes no logical sense. What would be more reasonable is for a mind or a soul to keep on coming back and learning time after time. The yogis say that the body is merely a vessel for the soul, a covering much like a shirt or a dress. When a shirt is frayed and torn it is not preserved but replaced with another. So is the human body a mere shell for the soul. When the shell loses its power and efficiency then it is replaced with another.

Time after time

It sits easily in my mind to think of having a soul suffiiciently-evolved to warrant a unique identity or being which allows it to accumulate experiences and knowledge in many visits to that state called "life" although I would surmise that there is also a kind of life after life one which has different rules and forms if it should have those. It would be logical to think of both planes to be transitory states. One shape comes to mind: tai chi, the grand ultimate. Tai chi forms a circule with two colors, white and black with a small circle of black in the white portion and a circle of white in the black portion. Both colors share an equal space in the circle and seems to pulse and undulate as if to describe the pulsating nature of the universe. Deep in each portion lies a solitary circle of the opposite color signifying the quiescence or latency of the other color or state. Which is like saying that midnight holds the seed of the day and conversely that noon holds the sleeping seed of the night that fully awakes at the end of the day. If tai chi describes the universe in its dualistic nature like, day and night, hot and cold, high and low, empty and full which sounds suspiciously like Albert Einstein's theory of relativity in simple terms, might it not also describe the universe in its non-obvious manifestation of consciousness and unconsciousness (as in waking and sleeping), or life and death?
