Osho Meditation Ego

Connecting dots from the places and people I have met in my travel. one thing is clear that this has been a spiritual journey. I have met many travellers. From party travelers, drug, sex, spiritual, scenic, language, bicycle, motorycle and work.

In Guatemala, I met a Shaman who is from US but now living all over the world healing people. One thing that stood out about him was that he said we all have the ability to be a shaman, we all have special power it is simply matter of believing. Believing in the source where we came from. He was not a religious person but spiritual. He was wild and weird.

In Mexico, Mayan leader told me that God of Maya is Numers and math. they come from the universe by studying the stars. there are two hunderd and some days in a year. When she read my birthdate, she told me that purpose of my life is to become a bamboo. A Bamboo that connects humanity to spirits. My number is 13, sign is serpentine.

In Panama, I met a meditating massage girl. She told me about her strong philosophy that we are all one. We are here to love. She introduced me to Osho and Be Here Now. Be Here Now was also mentioned in Steve Jobs bio.

In Colombia. I met two people who traveled in India and learned meditation and way of living. There I read Osho. It has been fascinating.

Osho talks about many interesting things. He is a spiritual and religious person yet he does not belong to any religion nor follows. He does not exist in this earth at least in the body of Osho. Meditation is where we go clean the mind he says. Our mind is like our body or cars on the street, we collect dirt and get dirty therefore we wash. Meditation is where I can wash my mind. Ego is who we are, our personality. when we completely drop our ego and be alert we can attain something special or englightened. He says that we live many forms of lives, we are born and die and again and again.  Ego is like a shadow, it is always there. Faster i move, faster it follows, therefore I must go under a big tree where I wont see the shadow and that big tree is meditation. he talks a lot of shit about current religion because it became very systemetic and ritualistic and forgotten the real meaning.

How to learn a language

To learn a language we must understand that it is not only a tool for communication but also a expression of their culture. Representation reflection of their culture.
If you feel their culture upon you, you shall learn
Finally making some money in the stock market. I was happy to see the account finally going the opposite direction from where it's been going for the last six months.
Now I must take this process to the next level and see how far I can push.

Red lights

In Colombia I have ran more red lights than I have ever in my life. In fact I think I ran more red lights than green.

There are pros and cons to this extravaganza. Road condition more rough due to unexpected and unearned holes, cracks and uneven road. Very aggressive taxi drivers actually hit me twice. I was so surprised that one taxi driver trying to cross over to my lane during heavy traffic that pushing my leg and passenger's leg with his front bumper and had no problem doing it.

After 10 or 11pm, traffic light become a guideline. Anyone is free to cross red light, you can do it front of police officers.

During the day, delivery motorcyclist run red lights as if they own the license to use traffic lights to their advantage.

There are no stop line for the red light however there are unspoken line which is go as far as you can until you can't see the traffic light anymore.

Pedestrians are expected to run or wait because cars don't stop anywhere.

Yield? What's that? BE AGGRESSIVE BE BE AGGRESSIVE is the Moto. Of course unspoken.

I have seen people taking driver school from the road. However it is questionable how much that they learn because when I obtained my motorcycle license, all I had was medical exam and I got a never expiring "indefinida" license.

Traffic signal happens right before the turn or long before but it's also questionable because people just leave them on and forget about it so I never if they will turn or go straight.

Fancy cars such as BMW, mercedes, Audi and new Hyundai cars are safe to drive near by. They are careful, not aggressive, remind me of moms or middle aged ladies in US.

It is quite common for people to block intersection during traffic for their self advantage to go on their way. Honking is very common.

This is driving in Colombia and Latin America. Corea is quite similar.

Passport

I went to corean embassy for passport. Because I am an resident of USA they want the letter of transportation from US. So I went to US embassy. They told me that I beed to bring a Korean passport. So I have been stuck for over a month.

Facebook Is who I am that I want to share.

Facebook allows me to see my connections. How? I can look at my 890 friends see the people that I have met in my life, their whereabouts, activities, interests; their personal Profile which are things that they chose to share to show who they are.
For meeting someone new or interest. There are basic information, pages and pages of wall posts, a thousand pictures. This is great. Because to really understand someone takes time, shared experience and shared interest.
on the flip side, I can look at a person and decide ifI want to meet this person or meet again.

Facebook is a great tool to show whoi am that I want to share with the world. faceBOOK is what I put on the cover of the book who I am, designed to be the best representation and reflection, image of who I am. It may not be accurate but it never is fully accurate when it comes to getting to know someone. You can never know someone fully because they dont even know themselves fully. However i make a best effort nonetheless. As if you are a company then you know how to capture who you are with one single profile picture. We start from 1000 words in one blink of an eye to opening the gateway to more pictures.
Not everyone is keeping track of me and nor am I. It is a useful tool to help me refresh my memories as I slowly scroll down through 890 friends aka networks. One by one just by seeing Friends and acquaintances from high school, college, working life, travel life, strangers. Many Experiences, bad and good memories, recorded as a reminder only for me. I can veil the things that I don't want to be reminded of. My profile is a place where I can feel who I am, is a home, I am chilaxed (chill relaxed). Facebook is cool.
