Change

Things have changed. I have changed. I no longer think the old thoughts that seemed to follow me everywhere. I have raised new questions about myself and my life. I may have found something new which has caused these changes in my outlook.

So what has changed? What I am going to say is something which could be nothing more than nonsense but it is my nonsense and my nonsense is worth thinking about. I have always accepted the dichotomy of matter and spirit but the thought has occurred to me that perhaps there is no dichotomy and that matter and spirit are merely gradations of the same thing?

This might not sound earth-shaking as it is but to me this kind of nonsense seems to make sense to me now. If there is no difference between matter and spirit and the only differentiating quality is one of subtlety or fineness, then it must be possible to demonstrate spirit the way matter is easily demonstrated.

Virtual Machine Dreams

Virtual Machines are running around my mind and it seems to me that there is too much information to be ingested and digested before I can become productive with them. They do promise a great deal of flexibility and freedom one of which is the ability to try different guest Operating Systems on your desktop. I have a windows box and trying a different one is a breeze with virtualization.

What I would like to do is to have some kind of Seaside app in a virtual machine and just allow it to run in is own environment without any problem with others that I might try. I had a linux box before which did proxying for my Seaside website running on another box (windows). I got it to run but I could only one server on it. I could not get it to run the virtual hosts.

Anyway, here's Cagayan de Oro City with another one: Cagayan de Oro City. My Cebu City site has made pr1, surprise, surprise. Dumaguete is still in the boondocks as far as Google goes but Dumaguete has made some headway.

Dream of dreamers and lazy people

I suppose that I am one of the dreamers, one of the lazy ones who keep on dreaming up of ideas to organize the world without having to run for elections. The thing is if I for elected office out of my own desire to set the world right then I would have to campaign to people who only want to get coddled and I would have to spend money. Not having that I would have to accept the money of interest groups and lobbies who would surely want to get their money's worth when I got elected. Then would my dreams of utopia go out the window.

This is something that happens again and again. Every had is tied to something, beholden to someone or some group.

A lazy man's utopia

I could dream and pretend that all I needed to do was to lay on my back and think nice thoughts and imagine that this was all that is need to conjure up the ideal world. This is the way to the lazy man's utopia, a world that exists only in dreamland, something that waits in the wings of a cosmic play and never gets called because other people dream much more loudly or more intensely. The more intense dream gets realized while the lazy man's dream remains a figment of his hopeless imagination and never takes root in the fresh ground of reality. A greedy man intent on accumulating wealth beyond what he can spend or consume will realize his greedy dreams and he will lay his grubby little hands on the wealth of this universe because his dreams of wealth are more focused and more intense than the lazy dreams of the utopian fool who dreams but does not act on his dreams.

I have a dream and this dream is in danger of becoming a lazy man's thoughtful meanderings. I realize that now and I should be careful not to fall into that trap. My problem stems from my lack of heart and my inability to rise from a fall and I very often fall, only to lay in the dust of my failures and be immobile, catatonic even while the world passes me by.

Ching's World and Changing Reality

Ching's World is a tremendous effort to turn Reality on its head and help Change along on its Revolutionary Road. When an idea takes hold on a man's imagination and so completely dominates his waking hours, it will come to pass that the power of his convictions will totally rip apart the convenient and comfortable reality that so wholly anathema to him. This is how Ching's World came to be.

The world and the existence of so many miserable denizens of this world is an anomaly which cries out for rectification. May who are comfortably ensconced in their own corner of the dungeon are oblivious to the moans and lamentations of oppressed spirits who are unable to liberate themselves of their own misery. Ching's World abhors the world of misery where many find themselves in.

Ideal vs Real

Reality always shoots down the ideal. What may appear to be ideal to the mind very quickly gets in trouble with what is already real. Consider an idea trying to take root, it always gets shouted down by the myriad ideas already flourishing or trying to maintain their existence in the minds of the majority. One could say that Reality is the concrete-ized version of an Idea in its infancy. Enthusiasm is the nursemaid of infant ideas while Frustration is its evil twin.If Enthusiasm keeps Frustration at bay and protect the infant Idea from possible infanticide, then may the idea grow strong into maturity as Reality.

Reality is rigid and hates change. Any change is always cataclysmic and Reality opposes it with all its might. Volcanoes erupt with violent upheavals rearranging the face of a planet and when the event is done, new land is created where life forms flourish. From the violent clash of ideas come new knowledge and understanding ushering in new Realities. Is Ching's World a new reality?

One might say it is a fledgeling idea trying to maintain its precarious existence in Reality. Millions of websites vie for the attention of visitors eager to find something new. Does Ching's World present something new? Perhaps. Perhaps not. One has to dig deeper into its inner depths to discover the treasure hidden beneath.

A nice, simple life

I think that people really do not need so much in order to have a good life. Having friends and relatives to keep them through rough times are pretty much what they need to have a satisfying life. I know that man's desires makes him miserable but this also makes him strive to achieve more and to become better and has been responsible for the many advancements that we see in the world today.

It is when the basic needs are not met that we begin to see the seeds of upheavals. The great advancements in music, literature, architecture and art that characterized the reign of the French Monarchs obscured the fact that the great majority of the population had a misrable life. When told that the masses had no bread to eat, the Emptress Marie Antoinette was reputed to have said: "Let them eat cake". This signifies how far the perception of the royalty and aristocracy was from the reality of ordinary mortals.

Even today, this same disparity in how the world is viewed has allowed good intentions to fall by the wayside in the light of the desire to keep advancing forward. It is common knowledge that the productive capacity is there to feed the world's population yet, that is nothing more than a statistic on a page. Reality has not brought that page to the mouths of those that need it the most.
