What the snake brings in 2013, this is the cycle of the Snake in accordance to Chinese astrology.


The study of cycles is today universal as with the study of astronomy or physics which is the concept of frequency and frequencies as in occurrence and oscillation (oscillate; as from a psychics, binary or mathematical perspective). Any discipline of study will never be complete without the study of its cycle or the forces of it.

Everything moves in a fix pattern like the earth’s orbit of the sun or the moon’s orbit of the earth in coherence with the earth’s cyclical orbit. Everything is in motion and moves and vibrates in a systemic pattern collectively in line with the oscillation of the entire universe.

The ancients have studied these movements and formulated their findings into a mathematical form of symbols and its permutations, Astronomy is the most ancient of the sciences and it is today common knowledge that the moon and the sun influenced the movements of the tide in the sea in a cyclical pattern. A point of note here is that today the subject of astronomy and astrology is detached from each other and astrology is not a mainstream science subject however the study of cycles and patterns are a component of the modern sciences.

The symbolic representation of the Snake cycle are first the base inherent strength, energy or force of the snake is "Fire" and it goes through a 12 year cycle with changing forces of Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood making a major cycle of 60 years.

ONLY ONE WAY TO WIN GE 13


There is only one way to win the oncoming 13th General Election and that is if enough of us really care enough to really want to win.

We will not win this GE 13 if we continue to shout from the keyboard or sit whole night at the kopitiam complaining and throwing insults in to the air.

Everyday we get questions and opinions from friends and colleagues about the election and you will most definitely hear much about predictions from some smart people or quotes from some expert about the outcome.

We hear about almost everything you can think of from Rosmah to Najib to Anwar to Mamakutty and comparisons on ideologies to manifestos and from party to parties and more endless parties and candidates from state to state.

At times you just can't help but wonder, are we talking about our nation as it sound like we are talking about another country. Sometimes it just sounds like chattering birds chattering whole day and night.

Do we really want to WIN? Do YOU want to win this election? Do YOU want to see CHANGE?

We can only win if we care enough to win and if we really care to bring about change then this desire should be translated to further action and effort.

"NOTHING WILL HAPPEN IF WE ALL DO NOTHING" quote from Haris Ibrahim.

Don't ask what you can do, first ask that you want to do and if so then contribute or participate in winning this GE 13.

It is time for action, sitting in that big fat lazy chair and on the keyboard is not enough, it is time to be on ground zero where the real action is. There is only one sure way of winning this GE 13 and that is if enough of us are contributing or putting in our effort to make sure we win.

We call on all of you to come on board and be active participants in making this an earth shattering win for all the people, for all the greens of plants and trees and to all living things from our cats and dogs to the deers and elephants of this land.

If you want to win and you wish to contribute please do contribute or join us at ABU for some real action and partake in the making of a new history for this nation we call home. For the sake of our children and their children.

EGO or the SuperEGO

Had a conversation yesterday and quite a few on this subject in the past with fellow civil activist and friends about the ego and some had said that there is a necessity of some kind as we need to take pride in our efforts and in our work.

And that the SuperEGO is easily found with our local politicians and especially those from the Barisan.

Ego or the superego is not your true self but an exaggerated projection giving you the false feeling of being superior. 

From a religious standpoint  this just sums it up, EGO = Edge God Out. The ancients philosophers has warned about the evil manifestation of oneself through unbridled growth of the Ego. 

At a today's viewpoint the EGO is pride and arrogance and the need to be different, it is a a superiority complex and to stand their ground the EGO defends itself by being obstinate. 

We need a consciousness of this EGO and to constantly keep it in check and this video from Deepak Chopra best describe this.
