I can no longer see you with my eyes touch you with my hands but I will feel you in my heart FOREVER...

My Mum
3/6/1938 - 29/12/2015

Indeed she was....
Thank you mum

Everybody is looking forward to the new year but for me I wish I was back in Malaysia in May and restart from there. 

I wish for nothing more than just one more day for I would give it all, just to hear you... If you could just come back, if only for one day I'll make sure that I'd listen to all you had to say... 

And if I could do it over, I'd only change one thing, I'd tell you again and again that I love you... 

No one will ever know quite how I feel inside, with all my heart and soul I love you mummy and will miss you beyond forever.. 

This wound it hurts so bad...I can no longer see you with my eyes touch you with my hands but I will feel you in my heart FOREVER... 

Today you’re not where you were, but you will always be in my heart. God rest you in peace, our dear mummy. xox

love light and peace

So weep, laugh, do something crazy, forget your troubles; you have been given another day; you are already victorious!

Another day to live is the best gift. 

Celebrate the day!

Let today be the day you giggled more, laughed more, wept more, fell to your knees more in gratitude and in silliness and saw the preciousness in the passing of things. 

For when you become like the little children you will enter the kingdom of heaven, and the kingdom is already here, friends, disguised as an ordinary year, an ordinary day, an ordinary moment, waiting for your eyes to open wide to its abundant treasures.

Sometimes we fall apart, and sometimes in the midst of falling apart, we remember more clearly where our feet are rooted.  

Earth.  

Ground.  

Held by gravity; always falling, yet somehow always supported. Sometimes we are brought to our knees, and we remember our knees, and nothing has happened from the perspective of the ground, save for the birdsong and the first light of dawn.

I thought of you after despair paid a visit.....this is what it gave me........in this dream

you are in this wild water

and you are so scared and you struggle more then you have ever

had to struggle

you try to scream for help, even though you know no one hears you

you are still asleep and the moment comes when you know

oh wow....it’s a dream

without thinking you know

there is peace in both the struggle and the drowning

What a peaceful way to experience life.

love light and peace

May we lose the stories that don't serve, and build upon those that reflect our true value.

With your feet on the ground,

your thoughts soar into untold possibilities.

Planted firmly in the present moment,

you explore the farthest reaches of time,

only to return to the breath.

You are a marvel, and a paradox:

rooted in presence, you imagine histories

and dream of fantastical and frightening tomorrows.

Your breath rises and falls;

the rising and the falling as One.

Know how precious you are,

feel your tremendous worth,

breathe,

and take the next step.

Know yourself,

and move courageously

into the Unknown.

Judging or observation?

Look for your DEVIL in yourself, NOT in others. 

It is not for you to judge the journey of another's Soul. It is for you to decide who you are, not who another has been, or has failed to be.

I like seeing people act with integrity and unselfishly, not focused on greed at the expense of others. Nobody gets away with anything. 

Sometimes people think they're being slick by maligning or slandering another, for example, and they think they're getting away with something

I too sometimes fall into this trap. I'm no better or worse than anyone. I strive for righteousness and do my best. 

I'm quick to correct my faults if I notice any and would never intentionally wrong another.

Often we make "observations" not necessarily judgments. A person playing with fire increases their chances of being burned its inevitable, not a judgment just an observation.

For every action there is an equal opposite reaction, it is just the nature of things. Sowing bad seeds, yields a bad unproductive harvest...under nourished. 

Sowing good seeds upon good fertile ground yields an abundant harvest. Here again, just an observation.

Now for the individuals that choose to sow bad seeds...when they could have spent that very same time sowing good seeds...again their harvest will be their own. We all will reap what we have sown. Not a judgment, just an observation. 

That’s my humble opinion.

 "....we should open our minds and hearts to new information, ideas and points of view and be willing to change our paradigms when it becomes clear that they're wrong." Remember this???

If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to you as it is, infinite....

Life doesn’t always go our way but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Much of life is like art…it is in the eye of the beholder.
What one person sees as a tragedy another might see as an opportunity.

Changing your perception of life is easier said than done, but then again, so is everything. It is much easier saying I want to write this article than it actually is to write it. But if even one person feels better after reading this, it was completely worth the time and effort.

Being alive!

You have a roof over your head. This is something I try to remind myself of on a daily basis. That statistic gave me a new appreciation for sleeping in my bed.

You’re working to improve yourself. There are no limits, only plateaus. Perhaps you feel like you’re stuck on a plateau, but just being conscious of that fact is HUGE. It means you know a change needs to happen.

You dream big. The world you see today was created by dreamers.
Before reality takes hold the process of imagination and dreaming must take place. Some of the greatest minds in the world came up with their best ideas through dreaming.

Forgiveness is one of life’s most important lessons. Those that can learn to forgive tend to live in more peace, and it is important to remember that forgiving yourself is just as important.
You are forgiving.
Holding onto anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth.
Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.

Few things are more beautiful in life than having friends, family, or a significant other that loves you. Never take these relationships for granted and always take a moment to thank these people for being in your life. You are love

You don’t need much in your wardrobe. I only have enough clothes to fit in one suitcase, but I also don’t allow myself to get sucked into the world of fashion. Be happy you have sufficient clothing for your life. You have cloths

You have clean water.

783 million people do not have access to clean water and almost 2.5 billion do not have access to adequate sanitation think about that for a moment. Let it sink in. If you have clean water you are very fortunate.

Staying genuine in a society surrounded by false advertising is difficult. If you know who you are, what you want in life and refuse to sell part of yourself for monetary gain is thankful. Some have no idea who they are even with all the money in the world.

Truly great experiences come to those who stay open to possibilities. Being able to experience life in another country is eye opening and will benefit you far into the future.

Travel see the world

I believe in the eternal soul. Being religious disqualifies you from being a person...

My question is when did you come to realize that you believe OR don’t believe in god?

No one is born with belief it is due to indoctrination; babies are born neutral and as I said it is not a choice not a conscious choice.

I didn’t make a choice to be a human being.

I didn’t make a choice to be born or being a female for that matter.

If I did I did not remember. Children do not have the capabilities of thinking beyond themselves until about the age of four. There is no God or spirituality to them. They literally do not have the developmental ability to process it.

Every newborn baby knows nothing about gods, nationality, racism, homophobia, misogyny or which football club to belong to until they are told what to believe or follow.

Children will emulate the adults around them.

By default when we are born we have no beliefs. A God would be one of those things we have no belief in. Granted it is not an atheist by thought, but in the simplest of terms. Until someone mentions a God, describes it, and presents it as something existing, the baby will have no belief in a God; if nobody ever mentioned this God, or presents the concept.

If we look at Piaget’s theory of moral development, children do begin moral development until the age of 4. Between 4-7, children begin to display heteronymous morality. The think justice and rules as unchangeable properties in the world, removed from the control of people.
From 7-10, they begin moral reasoning. Once they hit 10, they start to show autonomous morality. This is the age where they realize rules and laws are created by people. Also, they understand judgment and consequences. 
Babies/infants and toddlers literally cannot understand morality, let alone morality in a religious sense.

I know I was born not believing was mildly indoctrinated in my early years, questioned to myself the validity of religion belief in around high school, concluded there was no religion by the time I was 20-ish. I really hate labels, so I made a personal conclusion and my "Faith" is with me and believe that there is a higher power than me you might call God or IT or Universe that did not requires following any religious faith.
All I have to do to is to get educated and learn to think critically.

Belief is an option whether to believe Bunkum or you need to belong to a herd that blindly follows some leader.

If belief were a conscious choice, you could easily choose to believe anything I tell you now, no matter how crazy and really believe it, but you would not be able to.
You would realize, you really did not believe.

My goal is truth. That's it. And it seems simple, but it's not. Explaining truth can be confusing to those who are indoctrinated to think in a certain way.
But what tools do you use to determine the truth?
How much do critical thinking skills apply?

I do my best to bypass my emotions and opinions, even forgoing anecdotal experience in favour of hard facts and reality.
And I admit when I'm wrong, because learning is more important than being right.

However, we seem to live in a world where it is important to have an opinion, but that's it. It doesn't matter if it's based in fact.
We are a species that are run by emotions, and they have a pesky way of clouding our perspective.

Why do I need to be a theist or an atheist other than just be a human being?

Each of these two groups is best showing how the other is wrong of which I realize their intention is to confuse.
Unfortunately, we can’t deny the fact we all are humans.
As for being a theist or an atheist, it is a CHOICE.
The two groups are indirectly looking for FOLLOWERS and I am not here to follow any groups, esp. those that don’t look eye to eye.
Maybe I was born ahead of my time...

Theist is someone who believes in gods.

A - Theist is anyone who is NOT a Theist.

It is a very simple definition.

Atheist is NOT a word made up to collectively describe a group of people who once knew of a god and then just decided to be contradictory and rejected that belief.

A - Theism is just NOT being a Theist for whatever reason whether you are too young to know about gods or whether you have logically applied reason and reached the personal conclusion that gods are just a man med concept that have no bearing in the real world.

We're all humans we tend to like to categorize things, including ourselves theism/atheism is one kind of categorization. Sometimes, it's useful and meaningful, other times it's not. But we all do it. Heck, even categorizing ourselves as 'human' sets us apart from other life.
Shouldn’t we just then say, 'we're all life? Let’s get along!'

It is about opening a room for learning new things. Not making an absolute decision, but seeing that all things relate to one another. I’m pretty certain there is a LOT of life out there, and very likely a good number of intelligent, technological beings, some even very far ahead of us.

But that said, I very much doubt any of them, except in rare cases where they emerged nearby each other in both space and time, ever cross each other's paths. The realities of interstellar space travel are pretty stiff obstacles, and I would bet few, if ANY at all, ever work out how to overcome. That, plus the other uncertainties involved that can affect a planet and its biosphere will also have a significant impact in diminishing those numbers.

I’ve been learning all my life about everything I can lay my hands on, and I long ago understand that wishful thinking is a huge barrier to understanding the world as it really is and not as I’d like it to be.

200 years ago we didn't know what we know now, and we know some pretty important and fundamental stuff, you should look into it.
It tells us why some things are impossible, some unlikely, and explains a lot of things we know definitively. It also outlines the boundaries of the things we don't know, and in many cases why we don't 'know' them -- yet -- and where they probably fit in relation to what we do know. Don’t base hopes on our ignorance -- that's exactly what religion does.

Truth of the matter is none of us know our true origins. I personally don't believe intimate objects magically create life.
So life must have always existed.
It is certainly one of the most interesting topics to read about. I believe the Earth as well as the Universe is living beings.

Atheism/atheist and theism/theist are descriptors in relation to belief in god or gods, and NOTHING more. Atheists have no belief in god, theists do.
The reasons for atheists not having a belief in god can vary widely, and atheism says NOTHING about their other beliefs except that they don't include god.
The beliefs of theists can vary widely, and what ties them together is a belief in god.

Nothing more, nothing less.

That’s it.

Get it? Got it? Good.

Now, let's move on.

Free yourself from the trap of compulsive thinking and find your life's purpose.

I've never liked the term bucket list. For me that sounds like a list of things to 'tick off'; a get-off-the-bus-get-on-the-bus kind of view of travelling.  I prefer to make choices to live my life including the experiences I want to have, so travel becomes my lifestyle.

Don't let short-term pleasures seduce your focus from your long-term Purpose. When they begin to recur it's the perfect recipe to get short sighted and lose our clarity. DECIDE to follow through your purpose and stay the course no matter what obstacles is thrown your way for what it's worth!

/ \ We aren't guaranteed a tomorrow.
So can we meet here,
beyond our story of time, 
beyond our plans and prayers,
beyond all hope of a future salvation, and discover what is true and present NOW? 

If tomorrow never comes, and it may or may not, can THIS be enough?
Do we really need time to be fully what we are?

The death of seeking is the death of time, and we could call it 'love'. Time is the guarantee of promise and hope.....
Where there is none.
There are no promises or sentiments of hope in the here and now.

Do we need to be anything other than exactly as we are? Nothing like in the photos, it’s so ordinary, so nothing and yet so interesting.
Intimate like a wood fire, or chocolate or good red wine.

What magic ... and life ... is about.

A longing for something other, a merger, a fusion – obliteration sitting still, being uncomfortable, seeing the ordinary.

I hope to live in a world where people put their faith in understanding science, the lack of fictitious Gods, and a world where kindness and respect for one another and for all the creatures on this planet, is paramount. 

This is just a pipe dream that I doubt will ever come to fruition. 

World leaders can certainly help to bring about this change but they are too narrow minded and focused on their own greed to accomplish this. 

You can't be a revolutionist if you belong to a political party.

I believe that the winds of time and chance happen to us all,,, but the universal changes that you are calling for, there are many of us calling for but what we the people are not being informed of is the sacrifice and the debt to pay in order to birth and produce these changes, it's much like having children, it's a full life transformation that requires your ALL investment

The revolution really needs to be a reformation ...-and resolution and repentance in order to produce permanent LIFE outcomes, and not the religious whoredom that prostitutes the true and genuine love and light. This alone must be our guide and hope eternal...

When suffering under the addiction to thinking, clarity and the occasional free space of mind is relief.

When we think, we are going to make mistakes. 

The flow of thought it isn't always right and we can jump on any words and form words ourselves. 

Defending or agreeing. 

We often feel something if words don't agree with our words. Battle. To harmonise we must rise above thought not below to the level of animal. Left or right, up or down, sometimes a smile, sometimes a frown, both are faces of same coin

Where there's humans there will be corruption, and where there's a need for control there will be no real freedom. 

'True freedom cannot be offered from above it must be taken from below'. 

Nothing will change unless we make changes to THE WAY we are governed and do business...

Pure love is to be found within. Love seems to be a notion so little understand yet everybody seeks and nobody is willing to be ruled by...

Everyone talks of perfect love.  

Seriously does it need to be perfect?  

When intentions are good and felt with love it is RIGHT!

Love is not perfect and good thing it isn't, but two people can be perfect for each other because they accept and embrace each other’s imperfections. That is the truest love, loving 100% of a person no matter of religion or race or personal beliefs. 

Imperfectly perfect love.

The best opportunity for perfect love is mother to child, for me that is. Perfect love is the unconditional love.

When I remember to say my silent mantra which is kind of a feeling combined with a few essential concepts I can have perfect love whenever and wherever I am. The concepts I contemplate are in no particular order and with no particular need to remember it all

 'I feel limitless, unconditional love. I am a conduit for limitless, unconditional love. Limitless unconditional love flows naturally through me and out of me'

Tolerance and acceptance of people’s differences certainly brings us closer to achieving it. Sometimes I think it's a lack of feeling connected can get warped into a search for perfect love - which doesn't really exist because people aren't perfect.  

Love is everywhere you don't need a "MESSIAH" to find love my friends. But everyone has the right to believe what they want and if you need an image to turn to for guidance then again your choice.

Religion as a whole is outdated. 

We no longer needed to be told to love each other; we've learnt to do that by ourselves. I think that is how to do the change bit, and how you learn to love. 

Albeit imperfectly.

Looking for and basing love on conditions … is conditional-love. 

Conditions are changeable and no lasting happiness will be found even if you enact the very change you wanted; you will soon want something different and the conditions for your love will change. Not to worry change in inevitable. 

The love we are looking for comes only from within and is unchangeable and not based on conditions. Do not be distracted from your love by outside conditions. Or go ahead and do so, but knowing you are doing so helps. 

It is all good.

Love is real should you choose to accept it without expectations but that can prove to be easier said than done!

Open your heart to love and you will see it’s real but imperfect but that life. Life would be totally a drag if everything was so simple, wouldn't it!

We are lost in a GALAXY of misunderstanding at large.

WHO ARE WE? 

We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a GALAXY tucked away in some forgotten CORNER OF A UNIVERSE in which there are FAR MORE GALAXIES THAN PEOPLE.

EVERY ONE OF US is, in the cosmic perspective, PRECIOUS. If a human DISAGREES WITH YOU, LET HIM LIVE. In a HUNDRED BILLION GALAXIES, you will not find another.

For me, it is FAR BETTER to GRASP the Universe as IT REALLY IS than to persist in DELUSION, however SATISFYING and REASSURING.

Who is more humble?

The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?

Is not RELIGION all DEEDS and all REFLECTION?

Who can SEPARATE their FAITH from their ACTIONS, or their BELIEF from their OCCUPATIONS?

Your daily LIFE is your TEMPLE and YOUR RELIGION.

What other people think of you is none of your business. No matter what you are, what you have, what you do and what you become, you will always be judged. This is part of life.

Girl gets pregnant at 20: People say "She's too young to have a baby".

Girl gets pregnant at 35: "She's risking her baby's health!"

Girl considers abortion: "Can't believe she's just going to get rid of her baby."

Girl keeps the baby: "How's she going to afford that baby??"

Girl gets benefits: "Wow, she's so lazy."

Girl gets a job: "How can she stand to be away from her baby all day like that?"

Girl becomes a stay at home mom: "She probably doesn't do anything all day."

Girl stops hanging out with friends: "She totally changed when she had that baby."

Girl goes out: "She's always partying."

Girl wants to leave crappy bf: "Nobody knows what it means to work things out anymore."

Girl wants to stay with crappy bf: "She's dumb."

Girl eats burger: "Fatty."

Girl eats salad: "Must be one of those starving health nuts."

Girl is overprotective of her child: "You need to relax, helicopter mom."

Girl lets her child play without her: "Where is this kid's mom??"

Girl spanks her kid: "Call Protective Services!"

Girl refuses to spank: "Her kids are going to be such brats."

Girl gets raped by a monster, and then gets pregnant as a result. Girl gets called a monster for having an abortion.

No matter what you do, people will talk.

So do what is best for YOU & your baby, not other people.

Live your own life don't bother about what other people may think about you, you don't need to please them, it’s your life, your choice, your own happiness.

We are never really free, we are locked in our own madness...

We are like a vapour in the wind. We can be gone from this Earthly Life in the blink of an Eye. Live each day as though it could be your last. 

Life is unsure. 

Death is certain.

This earth is our time to experience things in mortality with a veil between our memories of our spiritual existence. 

Our loved ones are close by; they know our thoughts and feelings. 

Even though we miss them and are sad we must remember that death is not the end.

Stop the rat race...

Something I've always known and had impress upon my son>>>>> once you accumulate enough money for the rest of your life stop pursuing wealth it can only make a person into a twisted being, you have to pursue objectives that are not related to wealth. 

It should be something more important: 

For example, stories of love, art, dreams of your childhood.  

God has made us one way, we can feel the love in the heart of each of us, and not illusions built by fame or money, and you cannot take them with you. 

You can only take with me the memories that were strengthened by love. This is the true wealth that will follow you; will accompany you, he will give strength and light to go ahead. 

Love can travel thousands of miles and so life has no limits. 

Move to where you want to go. 

Strive to reach the goals you want to achieve. 

Everything is in your heart and in your hands. 

What is the world's most expensive bed? 

The hospital bed. 

You, if you have money, you can hire someone to drive your car, but you cannot hire someone to take your illness that are killing you. 

Material things lost can be found. 

But one thing you can never find when you lose: 

life. 

Whatever stage of life where we are right now, at the end we will have to face the day when the curtain falls.

Please treasure your family love, love for your spouse, and love for your friends... Treat everyone well and stay friendly with your neighbours.
