Google Horror

I’ve been using Android Tab let as a mobile photo book

to show others the photos of this blog, such as

” Modify the lens. and its Optical effect” which is easy

to show but almost impossible to verbally explain.

— With security precaution, I registered my device in

different name and to have different Mail address. 

With obvious false name, no hacking, no virus ever come

here, neither Google/Android gave a sit =  no possibility

to make money out of this address = hence it’s been quiet

untill few days ago, when I  needed to read my mail out

 London, using my tablet.

= suddenly the usage rocketed up.

Frantic activity toward my Email

account, address list etc etc.

Those so-called APP is not what

I wanted, neither installed by me.

Still, Google says “You agree to

our policy” though, what they 

says the policy is nothing but an

outrageous extortion.

We might have compromised to see

some AD on the side, but never agree to

give a permission to spy all the mail, and all of our

movement. — (You know, your secret naughty USB

dongle would no longer be secret = could even be

reported to the Police.  Be careful !)

You can see what they says –> go to Settings –> then to Apps

H

Horrifying isn’t it !   Are they insane ?  Ever had common

sense ?  — I try to uninstall the App, deactivate, and

empty the data without success — while I was working,

instead to succeed removing those Spyware, the address list

“Contact” was disappeared !  = (Tit for tat)

Very  very  Funny.  😀

Google has been making a friendly face and try to appeal with some

amazing invention etc —– though, that IS their cover-up mask.

 And those Apps are their real intention.    Using their internet

 dominance which can reach any corner and the well-developed

AI system to aautomatically read (even read the image) and spy

= they are going deeper into our private life,— for making

more profit !    But they’ve gone too far !

— A remedy or a measure against such situation is = Instead

of Android, use Linux, or to have a small MS device registered

with funny or useless name and use it to connect to the Net = 

It would be enough for mailing, watching YouTube, small

download.  Use other PC which is not connected to the Net, for

heavy work (design, compiling, analysing etc) in business,

Industrial use.   Address list shouldn’t be kept in that satellite

device = type one by one each time = it would be a life in the

stone-age though this IS the safer way to keep one’s life

in peace.  (I don’t think I’m a paranoid —– I just don’t

like a big cooperates arrogance)

Then the real horror started = As those APPs automatically

checking the activity, mail contents etc, etc, and keep

updating, the data traffic become enormous.  

Past 4~5 years, my use of Net (read news, mail and blog)

needed only up to 3Gb/month but with Android APPs,

the data traffic swelled to 3~4 times. = This is yet another

Extortion / Highway Robbery isn’t it ? !

—————————-

***** A remedy / evading action I found was, 

1) Re-start (Format) the Device by Pressing start button

over a Minuit.  Then pretend to start as normal =

2) While ignoring “Their request to Authenticate“, 

3) Press “All menu button (6 Dots in a circle)

4) and go to where ever you want to do = such as

Google Search of the Blog and read it 0r take

pictures etc etc.

5) Where ever, when ever they ask you to Register,

Give your profile = Just IGNORE all of them.

(In the settings, USER = leave the user as Owner,

don’t touch it.  (Without Register,  or ignoring what

ever they asked, the Device works perfect !)

6) Biggest disadvantage was= can’t use Email other

than use in a false new account.

— With those operations, the Device was regarded

as an orphan and become out of their target =

NO download of their App hence no update =

the usage become purely what was used.

Self — No-Self

This was quoted from a part of the previous post.

(To talk about the SELF need to recognize the existence of it = need to

have yet another Self to observe its existence ! — if you can aware/

observe yourself, your observer has already alienated  YOU. )

 —– it seems I need to say a bit more :

When you got another “You” = you are no longer innocent happy mam.

Instead you start try to impose “What you’ve conceived your figure”

which is no more than a wish-full imagination OR distorted, depressed

“Hate-figure”.

To see the True figure of Yourself is one of the most difficult

task in the life. = First of all, it is hidden deep in your

subconscious,

and often, half of them were what you don’t want see.

So, the most of the people try to make-up something looks good,

(to satisfy your Ego, pride/vanity and want to show-off to others)

—– though, not necessary everybody, everything to be such ugly.  

= Try to do better IS the default of our survival instinct !

(If we fail, the repercussion/drawback would be harsh ! = even a

fraud-star try to invent better story, and sword-master

practiced hard to kill the enemy )

So that, in the Four Noble Truth in the Buddhist Teachings,

“The effort to seek the Enlightenment” is very natural. 

—– When you fail, still to see straight to the “Failed Yourself” =

IS in fact, a kind of the Enlightenment. (according to the Mahayana)

(To see yourself as it IS = IS see it without any impose = No-Ego, No-Self !)

  = Don’t worry, relax !   😀

Paradox on No-Self

Despite the Buddhism IS the teachings of the NO-Self,

there is no explanation of “What is no-self” in the scripture.

Even more peculiar phenomena were = there were hundreds,

if not thousands of description of “the ideal person” still

there was no words saying that the man has no-self. — Why ?  

Because there IS NO-Self.

(To talk about the SELF need to recognize the existence of it = need to

have yet another Self to observe its existence ! — if you can aware/

observe yourself, your observer has already alienated  YOU. )

.

Our feeling was induced by the Limbic System of our brain. 

In fact, all the signal from the sensing organs goes to the

Limbic System first and the most of important process =

selection of those signal, cognition, judgement etc etc were

done in there and only the last result goes to the New Cortex

of the brain and then converted to the conscious and given

the lexical interpretation.  = It’s mean, we human being has

enough wisdom to sense the environment and judge the

appropriate response to have the daily life by the process of

the Limbic System alone though, all those feelings and the

process are hidden under the darkness of the Subconscious/

Unconsciousness they ARE invisible for the most of us. 

Those process were called instinct though as they were

hidden, often we don’t know why we took such reaction. 

So that, when we say “This IS my decision and how I think”

they ARE only a conscious part of the process in the brain.

= And we called this = “Self-Conscious” and the SELF.

Lord Buddha saw this Self-Conscious as a mere delusion

and it was coherent with the view of No-Self = Anatman.

=== To become aware of the SELF is the sign of

the alienation to yourself and the break-down of Mushin.

(State of the Mind of No-mind) —– It IS the paradox.

And this paradox, delusion IS the loot-cause of the

discord to our nature / Dharma.

OMG Kumamoto

Photo = Jiji-Press (http://www.jiji.com/jc/d4?p=keq414-jpp021234025&d=d4_qq )

Photo above = On the tremor of Kumamoto Earthquake,

a fallen rock crushed a car.  There were many land-slides. 

One engulfed and swept away an electric power station,

and the other made a big bridge completely disappeared.

So, there must be many fallen rocks, still

the photo above looks utterly unbelievable.

—– that rock seems to be 3~4m big and weight well may

be over 10 tons (?). —– in the photo, no another mud or

stone was seen around = it’s mean, that rock jumped

down alone = Can you imagine = 10 tons rock tumbled

down the mountain slope and “Bang” on a car.

Looks almost surreal !

Still, the misery and hardship who lost their house, not

mention the victims who lost their lives or injured,

the pain is absolutely real.

I play the early recovery of the victims and the people

whose life has been affected.

Enigmatic ?

People says that the Buddhism is the enigma.

Well, if the person says it’s an enigma, the person knows it half.

Half ? —– Yes the person already learned half of it !

It’s remarkable, despite the Buddhism is in the enigma.

Why it’s in enigma ? = Because the Buddhism is not teaching

the crucial matter in the words.

Why ?

Because, to learn it without the words is crucial, therefore

it wouldn’t be taught or explained by the words.

So, to know the situation and able to describe its Enigma is a

sure sign of that the person did come half way. = It’s great. 

Well done.

(The point of this was described in this post.) = and as the story

tells, it’s point / secret was not clearly understood even by the

Lord Buddha’s closest disciple Ananda.

—– Because the teachings of Selfless or learning of selfless has

to be done in Selfless  = It’s mean without the person aware of it

= couldn’t be told / couldn’t be heard. = Once you consciously

heard the word / explanation, your conscious / Self become

aware of it = it IS a breakdown of the Selfless.

Lord Buddha taught Selfless in this way (could anyway else ?) =

so, the Buddhism was seen to be an Enigma.

[]

Hence, you have to learn Buddhism / Zen in a Selfless way = it’s

mean you just do the practice until you get the Selfless state =

Mushin (Mind of no-mind). 

And when you become able to live in the selfless way, you are

NOT conscious of your state, therefore you can NOT able to

observe yourself = you can NOT describe it in the words.

= So, you don’t know what it IS, nor others know either !

Everything stays in the depth of Subconscious.

Therefore, the Buddhism stays in Enigma.

—– IS it clear ?  (= it’s a paradox isn’t it !)  😀

Test of Selflessness (The most important Post)

Ephemeral Evanescence

Beauty in Japanese nature and the people’s life style, well

harmonized with its nature is so famous = so, you may think.

And you may think a famous touristic spot of such as the

Cherry Blossom is naturally there from ancient time.

Well, this IS the biggest paradox or contradiction, even

a trick in the Japanese culture.  = Virtually all the famous

Cherry spots are intentionally created by planting the tree

which was artificially grafted and propagated Somei-yoshino. 

—– Cherry tree has limited life about 60~100 years. 

Therefore, those Cherries of the famous places has been

re-planted 2~3 times since the original Somei-yoshino came.

(simply, when the tree became too big,  they brake and fall)

Because of the Somei-yoshino could only be propagated by

grafting,  unless the tree was intentionally planted,

it wouldn’t exist there.  They are the Created Art.

The situation is the same in those Japanese gardens,

even a garden in the Buddhist temple was “created”

= Still they look like a real landscape in great nature.

(I don’t think, you ever imagined that famous Rock Garden

in the Ryoan-ji temple did naturally exists there.  😀  )

It’s like a Bonsai !    Looks like a great tree in the nature —

though, to create those realistic Bonsai tree, the craftsman

spent 10 even 50 years to shape it. = This IS the Zen. 

The most peculiar things in the Japanese culture / Ethos is

such Zen Ethos has been kept not only by the monk or

religious people but by everybody without their conscious.

Zen doesn’t speak. It have to be learned by looking and to

try oneself. Therefore, what learned couldn’t be explained.

(Because they are not aware of it, they don’t talk about,

therefore, foreign journalist could not find and describe it.

= So, the Japanese mind/attitude/Ethos stay in the myth.)

And the Zen Ethos of impermanence/ephemerality, even a

death has been symbolized in the Japanese Cherry Blossom.

( = Beauty in its fall !)

(Hence, lots of Japanese Military establishments having their emblem

with Cherry flower pattern, and their barrack has Cherry garden.  

And the Kamikaze suicidal-rocket-bomb made on the last stage of the

last war was named Ouka = 桜花 = Cherry Blossom )

[]

Zen and its ethos keep driving the Japanese to even more

refinement/improvement = So that, the next generation of

Somei-yoshino is coming as the Jindai-akebono which is

stronger than Somei-yoshino against the virus.

(This new variety of Cherry has been created by crossing the

Edo-higan Zakura and the (almost original) Somei-yoshino

back from Washington USA.  Now the Flower Association of

Japan stop to distribute Somei-yoshino and recommending

to plant Jindai-akebono.)  (The name Jindai =  because it 

was established in the Jindai Botanical Garden in Tokyo)

—– to express the beauty and its ephemerality and the tree

to symbolize it = Cherry = and the quest to develop stronger

tree in order to express ephemerality is a real paradox.  😀

Cherry by Soft Lenses

The photos here were taken from the same Cherry tree as

the previous post.   (As they are not plain 5 petals flower,

this is not Somei-yoshino) 

The softness (?  Blur) on the previous post were created by

the Focus-Shift = focused image and the out-of-focus image

were mechanically superimposed on the shot. — But here,

the softness was caused optically by the lens’ aberration.

= Those first 4 photos were taken by the homemade

single glass lens = nicknamed “Gaudy lens” .

Among my homemade lenses, this is the most useful,

easy to use lens.

You may say, the aberration of this lens is too much

though, this is what I wanted.   🙂

Above those two photos, you can see the type of

softness are very different.  = The photo above and

the following 3 photos were taken by  the modified

(front diverging lens was removed)

Tokina Wide-Converter.

Regardless the technical blur blur, all about

the photography (or any art) the matter is the

end result = if it is good, it’s good. 

Nothing else.   😀

(And when the result was the same, the cheaper

the cost is the better.)

Karma – Fate (2)

(Photo above left showing the back of the ticket on the mirror)

On the surface it may looks just a personal story though, I realized

that this IS more like a public demonstration of the “Karma at work”.

The photo above right was a letter I received some days ago which

showed that notorious number 8150 (= said to be the Sign of Haigorei)

Though, this letter has no strong significance to my life =

So, it is just an indicator lamp.  Showing that the system is ON.

But what IS such system all about ?    It is the system of the controlling

mechanism of the world / everything within, including the man’s Fate.

Photo above left was an One-day

Ticket of the London Transport

which is showing the same 8150.

The date was 19 Feb’ 1992 =

the deadline for me to lodge the 

460 pages, x6 bundles of the

document to the Court of Appeal.

(refer to the Court Order, left) — since I received an “additional Order” 

from the High Court on the morning of very day, I went to the Court Office

to have an extension of the deadline. (Which I got 2 more weeks, and spent

£ thousand more to Re-Photocopy to incorporate that additional Order. =

since the page number has been shifted, they needed to be Re-Photocopied.)

(Obviously the conspirator try to make my appeal Out of time though,

the rule is the rule = Court office had to extend the time-limit.)   

Can you believe, this has been done by the English High Court themselves !

[]

For a part of my Stock-taking operation, I published the papers of

the Court battle about a month ago.  Then somebody who read the

post, tipped off me a crucial info’ to incriminate the opponent. 

And to find the name of the person I met then, I found this

One-day Travel-card stacked on my old diary.

All the life’s occurrences (even if it’s looks utterly a coincidence) ,

was in fact caused and placed by the Karma, and all the flow of the

life was observed by the Dharma = even my movement has been

watched by the Dharma.

(= so, the number 8150 was posted on the back of the ticket to tell

me “I know what you are doing. Carry on” —– If they want me to

stop, they could have staged an accident to destruct me.)

===This is not an imagination of the nuts. ——- Can you tell,

who could possibly watch all of our life/movement/action and

able to adjust even a number on the ticket.

(My 8150 story was just a hi-profile example to demonstrate 

the existence of the Karma and the Dharma.) = What else ?

The most important matter is not the display of 8150 but having

those occurrences next by next, the troubled matter seems to

find the breakthrough and converge into the better solution.

(So, keep watch the space and see what happen on the end.)

(You may not figured out the sign/number of your case yet , but

surely they are there, otherwise how you were born as you ARE ?)

Spring Equinox

It’s nothing new = same old Spring Equinox and its Sunrise.

Still, a sort of significance to us IS, this sunrise IS showing exact east.

And the time should be Exact 6:00 — though, it was 6:34 — ? ? ?

(I’m not sure, this 34 minuets was due to the distance from the

Greenwich ? — or any other reason ?)     Anyhow, it was the ancient

tradition to know the season from the position of the sunrise though,

how many people watching the direction of the sun in these days ?

[]

We can see any of the fruits or vegetables ALL year round.  (Since, they

are coming from the country where got opposite season)   Even worse,

if you live in London, the climate is more or less the same all year round.

So, we lost the touch of the nature.   And the people who is conscious

about such as Summer Solstice and goes down to the Stonehenge was

branded to be a Nettle-picker or simply, nuts.  —– Something wrong. 

—– Can you expect, we are still within the boundary of the Dharma ?

Or the rules of the universe which may not to be visible to us ?

It’s true, we human being is expecting even longer life than years ago

and overcoming the trouble of diseases etc thanks to the Science and

Technology, so, you might be thinking that the everything would be

clear and any trouble would be resolved though — they are the surface.

Still, there is something behind we can’t see or notice and that IS

controlling our life.

—– Well, I’ll tell you in the next post.

Peach flower

—— (Photo above: taken by a homemade, so-called Gaudy Lens)

Peach flower is much more appreciated in China than in Japan.

In Chinese myth, the famous Shangrila was written as 桃源郷

which mean The place where the Peach Blooming. = (neither

Cherry nor Banana.)   The reason why Chinese value Peach more

than Cherry is, not only its juicy fruits but the color of flower is

more reddish.

The color Red mean prosperity and the longevity to the Chinese.

In a stark contrast, Cherry Blossom is the symbol of the ephemeral

life, even the death to the Japanese (in the Buddhists context.)  So,

Japanese appreciate its moment of the flower falling like a snow

storm, as well as when it was fully blooming.

——- (Photo above Left : by Canon Fisheye Zoom 8~15mm —

——–Photo Right : Converging Lens from Tokina Wide converter.)

The reason why Chinese likes Red was originated from the vermilion.

Vermilion is the Mercury Oxide = deadly poison = therefore it is a

very effective preservative to the timber. So, the Chinese temple etc

has been painted with Red Vermilion = never rotten for thousand of

years.  So, Red Vermilion is the demonstration of the longevity !

And there was a fancy story of the Vermilion, whether it was a 

fabrication of the novelist or not, there said to be an Elixir of life made

from Vermilion, which was repeatedly oxidized and deoxidized 9 times,

called  九還丹 in China.  (If you found it in the Net, you may try ! )

—— (Photo above : Converging Lens from Tokina)

To the Japanese, the appreciation of Peach flower was in its

association with the girl’s festival (桃の節句) on 3rd of March

other than that not much special feeling in the Japanese mind.

So that, other than in the fruits orchard in a country side,

we don’t see as many Peach trees like Cherry in town .

—— (Photo above : by converging Lens from Tokina

Wide Converter mounted on a Bellows = Photo right

= As the lens was mounted on a bellows, it can focus

from ∞ to 1/3 close-up)

Front element of the Diverging Lens has been used somewhere

else, and the left over converging element was used here.  😀

(You may amazed, how photography can be done in such a casual manner.)
