Time

I had rather a busy week, I don't know where the time goes. It all has to do with perception I suppose. The more busy we are the quicker time seems to pass. On the other hand, if you are held up at traffic lights and are late for an important meeting, two minutes can seem like a life time!

Perception.

I actually don't like waiting for anything, whether it be in queues or doctor's surgeries, but what I have learned is if you occupy youself some way or another, time inevitably, does seem to pass by quicker.

There are other times we don't seem to have enough hours in the day. Time is a concept only really know to humans, in the traditional sense that is. I mean dogs never seem to be worrying about it! There was a white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, but that was just fiction (wans't it?) He was late for an important date.

Time alters as we get further away from our planet. At the end of space, maybe it ceases to exist altogether. Somehow becomes timeless. My son described time on our planet like spokes on the wheel of a bike. Closer together in the centre of the wheel and further apart towards the outside. Quite a good analagy for a 15 year old.

But then I argued that this is only in our solar system, so in that case we have lots of 'wheels' in the universo and also wheels within wheels.

What the hell I am talking about, I don't know. Like I said this stuff just pours out of my brain...

I have to go now, I haven't got time to be sitting here on the computer....

The Tulku Lama Lobsang and I (etcetera, etcetera, etcetera)

One Monday evening in 2008, I had the privilege of meeting The Tulku Lama Lobsang at a Lecture he held in the Quinta do Pombal , Algarve, Portugal.  I was expecting him to be clad in orange and to my surprise he wore black.  Everybody stood as he entered, everybody that is except for me. I just didn't seem to have time, I had been in the middle of something, it was a bit weird actually, I wasn't really sure if I should have or not.  The King and I came to mind.   He sat and started to talk about Tibetan Medicine, which is his speciality, along with Lu Jong. A Tibetan Yoga/Tai Chi kind of activity which is practiced at the centre.  He said that all of us have un-manifested illness within us and at some point of our lives it manifests itself, other times it lays dormant just to manifest in another life. "Men (and women) must get ill", he stated. Sickness is part of life. If we are not sick now, then don't worry, one day we will be. (So if we are well, we are ...

Existence only a state of consiousness?

This morning I was looking out of my kitchen window and a thought came to me, as I looked at the trees and the flowers. Sometimes it can be hard for me to imagine that once I never existed. It sounds like a kind of selfish idea but it is rather profound. For example, when we tell younger siblings stories of events that took place before their birth, they find it hard to grasp; the fact that once upon a time they didn't existe! Existence is to a point a state of consciousness, although it also goes beyond. Before we were born the world was already in existence. We can see and feel things in our lifetime. We exist. This is why many people are saddened at the prospect of death, because life continues even after we stop existing. This can be very painful. Man in this life tends to become trapped with in his own consciousness, he cannot seem to see beyond his own lifespan. Very often not paying much attention to present actions; such as pollution for example. Many of today's politic...

Feira Sobre Rodas

Hoje sempre fui a feira e conseguir ganhar 32 €, é o melhor que consegui até agora. Será que a minha sorte está a mudar. Para a proxima vez vou levar a guitarra, pode ser que seja discoberta e me torne uma grande estrela... A feira é realizada perto do Estádio novo, Parque das Cidades, Faro/Loulé ( foi construido para o Euro 2000 e não sei quantos, o tempo passa depressa!) no primeiro e terceiro Domingo do mês, todos os meses. Está a ficar gira.
