I don't want to be right

I don't want to be right. I want to be free.

When you say you are right you are right.
When you say I am wrong, you are right.
When you say you are wrong, you are right.
You are always right.

Why?

Because, I don't want to be right.
I want to be free!

Ronnie should have called me to move my car - Thanks

This morning I arrived in college at around 9.55 am. I took a few
rounds in the basement looking for a place to park.

Since I could not find a place, I parked in a spot where the road
turns right. At that point it wasn't blocking any passageway.

Later, when I was in my office, checking my emails, I got a call
to move my car.

I went down and saw Ronnie. He was saying that I should not
park haphazardly as this would make his job difficult and also
that I was blocking the passageway. Opposite was a car which
had parked in the passageway and together with my car, both
our cars were indeed blocking the passageway. I explained to
Ronnie that that car wasn't there when I arrived this morning.
I also explained that when I arrived there was no place to park.
He did say that outside were available places. Anyway, I
complied and moved my car.

My stressful thoughts shortly thereafter went something like
the following.

"Why are they always picking on me?"
"Why are they always picking on staff and allowing the
students to park haphazardly?"
"Ronnie should not have asked me to move my car"

and many more such stressful thoughts...

The thoughts arose out of nowhere in a stream. They were not
full-blown thoughts, and as such did not overwhelm me.

At that point in time, it dawned upon me that I was
sub-consciously believing a thought that Ronnie should approve
of me. All the above stressful stream of thoughts were hinged
upon an underlying belief that I need people to approve
of me. So the root cause is the thought:

"I need Ronnie's (people's) approval"

When this hidden thought hit the surface of my consciousness,
it's corresponding turnaround also arose:

"I need my approval"

And that was immediately felt to be as true. At that point in
time, a sense of instant relief swept over me. And I felt
grateful to Ronnie.

Grateful because he has helped me enlighten some of my
stressful underlying beliefs.

Thanks to Ronnie.

My son should say what he just said...

Last night as i was doing programming, my elder son was
making some rude remarks and verbally abusing my
younger son.

I then could sense the faint arising of some very, very
stressful thoughts just about to break the surface of
consciousness.

Those semi-conscious thoughts were something like
the following, although I could not be sure exactly what
they were because they haven't fully surfaced yet:

"He shouldn't shout and say bad things..."

At that point in time, I could sense that if I were to believe
whatever it was that was about to surface, I was going to
be in tremendous amount of emotional pain.

Then, quite suddenly, the mind began to turnaround. It was
automatic. It just would not attach to the arising thought.
It was like, I was just about to put my hand in the fire, and
almost automatically withdraw it - a very natural response.
The mind could see clearly that if it believed the opposite,
it would be free from pain. And the opposite is:

"My son should say what he just said"...

A warm feeling emanated and filled my entire body. It was
just delightful. And I smiled the smile of Peace...

An email to Lye Soon

My brother-in-law Lye Soon is a sort of a complainer.
He complaints incessantly in one email after another about the
Government. I usually do not bother to reply. But on one
occasion I wrote him the following response:

Dear Lye Soon,

I cannot change people's thinking.
But I can change mine.
My happiness is dependent on the way I perceive the world.
If I am unhappy, the first place I look at is my beliefs and thoughts.

By questioning my stressful beliefs and thoughts I find that they are untrue
and that frees me. If I think that other people should not do what they do,
or think what they think, who suffers? I do.

Let people think what they want and let people do what they want. Let them take
care of their thinking and their happiness. I take care of mine.
And I am most comfortable when I do not believe stressful thoughts.

I prefer to be free than to be right.

All suffering is caused by believing untrue thoughts.

Greatest Love of All

Greatest Love of All – Whitney Houston

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

Chorus:

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Chorus

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love


Comments:
How true. I am Love within.
If I seek Love from outside, I'm insane and
masochistic and selfish. No one can give me Love.
To try to force someone to Love me is selfish.
I impose conditions and approval only on those who
love me. I love me and automatically i love everyone.
Because, everyone is me.

Justin, My Teacher My Friend

Me and Justin

Taken today in Justin's office. His last few days in Inti College.
He's a rare gem. Honest, faithful, kind and a great leader
with a heart.

Justin has taught me a lot about myself. Never have I met
such a kind-hearted soul.

As he packs his stuff and clears some old things, I know it is just
appearances. Justin will always be in my heart. Everything I
know and love about him is always part of me. Though Justin will only
be here until Monday - June 9, 2008, I know he will never leave.
For how can he, he is me and I am him. We are one always. I have
come to see that love and friendship will persists - for it can never die.
Physical appearances are nothing without the mind to make it real.

And deep down we are all inseparable and united in Love.
