Toooooooooooooo much activities for my lazy fingers to blog.
But here are the highlights anywayz!
Our classes with Mr. Kumar ended at noon of the third day, really enjoyed his classes, but it was time for us to start missing him :(
We had no idea how much more so, until we started the 2nd section of our orientation week- Mastery.
Mastery of what?
According to our very offensive lecturer-they call themselves "fascilitators"-more like overseers, (who insult us with premature provokations and statements, and frequent uses of the F word), Mastery of everything.
Some freaky pseudo theological+psychological idea invented by a crackpot Indian guru by the name of Dhyan Vimal.
your classic "Mahaguru" looks...
Drama King...
From what I've gathered in the last 2 days, he's basicly teaching us to be always in a "conscious" state of mind. That is, being aware of EVERYTHING that happens around you, but more importantly, aware of YOU, YOUSELF, exsisting as a human being, in your surroundings.
So in short, focusing on every aspect of oneself, physically, mentally, and emotionally to a point where one is hyper aware of himself/herself.
(Lesson 1) Thus, having accepting that fact, we are supposed to be "responsible" for our own reality.
For example, if you were walking down the street, and some one robs/rapes you. You too, have played a role in being the victim. (according to that psycho.)
Another example, if you park a car nicely, by parking it lawfully and snuggly in a parking lot, and suddenly some one bangs you for no reason, YOU are responsible for that too. (quote by Guru-Kuku:"why the hell did i park my car there?")
Correct me if I'm wrong, I feel he is teaching us to be... feeling guilty all the time?
Ok anyway.
(Lesson 2)You are the "determiner" in your life.
By that he means YOU determine your own reality. It is only so, because you choose it to be so.
You're poor cuz you think you're poor.
You're rich cuz you think you're rich.
You're cold cuz you think you're cold.(stupid air cond)
You think money is hard to earn only because you we're molded to think so.
Alright...After pondering a while. I do agree with him. I understand that these "realities" seem real to you only because you made them so.
BUT only to a certain extent.
How could you determine if you are tall or short or fat or thin or male or female?
This is where it gets all personal. When that maniac started saying :" We are all by our own design..if we are the determiner...we become the Creator!..) something to that effect... I nearly stood up and gave him the Finger. Does he mean to challenge God as the Creator? Does he mean we can become demigods of our own? and God does not play a role in our lives?
Fueled by fire from his previous statements (a.k.a insults), many of my classmates couldn't take it anymore, and started bursting into arguement with the "lecturer". He liked it.
So there was a big hoo-haa about being the "determiner" in life and who should have the right to mold anyone (if at all having the right) thus determining other people's lives?
Hm.. I'm still thinking about that, so, correct me if I said anything wrong in the above statements.
Oh yeah... and there was this "walking in tiny boxes/grids" game thingy. Something to heighten our level of awareness, which I'm fine with. However the tediousness and mundaneness of this "game" practically destroyed its own message.
Thats Fook Hoy in the background with Jian Quan in the green tees..
