A Crazy Thought for the Year's End

"'Look, boys, it ever strike you that the world not real at all? It ever strike you that we have the only mind in the world and you just thinking up everything else? Like me here, having the only mind in the world, and thinking up you people here, thinking up the war and all the houses and the ships and them in the harbour. That ever cross your mind?'" -- from MIGUEL STREET by V. S. Naipaul

Though I read Miguel Street once, I can't get to the above passage, whose remark it's, maybe of the Pundit when he was young, adolescent. 'Thinking up' is a great verbal phrase, namely creating up I think. Namely, the projection of our innate perception that we don't get so but, rather, there so, objectively, concretely, the source of all ills.

Yet another piece:

"In the present case it took up ten minutes to determine whether the boy were most like his father or mother, and in what particular he resembled either, for of course everybody differed, and everybody was astonished at the opinion of the others." --from Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

But I wonder could Jane Austen have the same flight of imagination, better be couched in this way, for their being creative writers, or such intimation that it's our way of picturing and colouring. Both, especially the above, getting close to the hold of Cittamatra or Mind-Only school's ontological finding.

Happy New Year 2018!

Dear human being you and all,

Thanks for your prayers and greetings. So I do wish you and your concerned ones and all a Happy New Year ahead. Happy life, thanks, as you know, can't be figured out out of these mundane presentations that we tend to take as something there objectively in such concreteness rather than as our own delusive projections as such. I think it's up to getting to it, this ontological finding through unremitting familiarisation what we call 'practice' or 'meditation', the only epistemological approach. Then we will be really free, happy and unbiased. I think so, find so, and try my best in getting familiar with so far. Thank you so much after all. You with such human's conscience and intuition know about it so well, དབུ་མའི་ལྟ་བ་, the panacea for all ills and sufferings. Sorry if I happened to bore you thus, from now.

Great Time there wherever you are. Pay my regards to those around you too, as I have learned that he or she is with you these days. Great friendly vibes between you then. It's up to, as you know, being able to socialise without being so judgemental about trifles, mostly related with behavioural foibles. To be considerate to each other, in essence. Why? Because it isn't as it presents. It's as we project. That's is the crux. And, yes, nothing that we tend to take for granted lasts forever. It's just temporary that we can learn from the appearance of Human kind, the most intelligent biped or primate, on this life-supporting planet of ours.

Tashi Delek! See you, my brothers and sisters, namely human beings at large with whom I can convey what this piece wishes to express with this medium of ours, here in English, known as the 'universal language'. And, so fortunately, this medium or any we speak as to get ourselves to conventional to unconventional understanding--range of matters, substances, elements to consciousnesses; the way we take them in and their true nature and relations--are said as the only medium or means to deliver ourselves to sublimer understanding such as དབུ་མའི་ལྟ་བ་, Middle View, or any others.

Yours,
Norsang, your brother
