Camus The Outsider
"It struck me that I’d better see about some dinner. I had been leaning so long on the back of my chair, looking down, that my neck hurt when I straightened myself up. I went down, bought some bread and spaghetti, did my cooking, and ate my meal standing. I’d intended to smoke another cigarette at my window, but the night had turned rather chilly and I decided against it. As I was coming back, after shutting the window, I glanced at the mirror and saw reflected in it a corner of my table with my spirit lamp and some bits of bread beside it. It occurred to me that somehow I’d got through another Sunday, that Mother now was buried, and tomorrow I’d be going back to work as usual. Really, nothing in my life had changed.
http://www.macobo.com/essays/epdf/CAMUS,%20Albert%20-%20The%20Stranger.pdf
"I GLANCED AT THE MIRROR"- up to the end.
The reader should try to "FEEL" the experience expressed by the words...
One is aware of what one sees but there is an accompanying/underlying thought that is not at all connected with what one senses/perceives...
[This is one of the fascination of language & of written art or literature... how these somehow capture the essence or features of our emotions & experiences.]
The feeling imparted to me by the words is precisely the feeling/experience I had in connection with the part/section of our old G.E. ref - the white rubber stop above the upper freezer door hinge as seen from an angle to the left of the ref... This is THE CLEAR MEMORY TRACE I still have of that early evening (about 5:30 PM) November 26, 1976 when my (late) father uttered the words.. "Uuwi tayo. Patay na ang lola mo."
I replied nonchalantly, "Ah. patay na ho?
I was thinking he was referring to his (my paternal grand_) mother (to whom I was not emotionally attached).
He clarified... "Uuwi tayong Batangas. Patay na ang Lola Isyang mo"...
The whole experience actually requires more words...
In fact, I think I can write a whole book about it, my first emotional encounter with DEATH...
I need only to point out that my grandmother's death really HIT me hard...
I didn't believe/couldn't accept she was already dead. During her wake I kept on thinking she would wake up. She had a reputation for "coming back from the dead" - more than once. She was asthmatic...
[After one such incident she asked for water because she felt so thirsty... She related she had travelled to a distant place!
Note occult/mysticism experts: This is not an uncommon story related by those who have "died" & returned...
During the few days of her wake,
I exhibited what existentialist Sartre termed BAD FAITH (a philosophic notion) ...
I only realized the TRUTH (of her death) or the REALITY of her DEATH forced itself on me when they were already closing the coffin & when the funeral car began to move out of the church - that was when the all the emotions poured out & I CRIED uncontrollably... I was deeply attached to her... My aunt always referred to me as "APO NI NGANGA"
[My grandmother chewed betel (NGANGA or MAMA in some dialects...)
TO BE CONTINUED
I'll also relate later:
-My mother's "seeing" the dead mother of a sick boy in her boarding house in Batangas City
-My late Aunt Sally's (that's how Americans called her) being "guarded" by her dead father in 1936-1939 in Calauag, Quezon
-How she was saved from a Japanese raid of the house in Manila where she stayed (that led to the capture of her friend who was tortured to death in Fort Santiago & whom she saw in a DREAM) through a DREAM of her mother (my LOLA)
-My other aunt's seeing HANDS in a room in our ancestral house in Alitagtag, Batangas.
I don't remember my brother & sister telling any convincing personal ghost stories. I believe I'm more "sensitive" than them... I have two additional "ghost" stories to relate... The reader will see why I cannot be an atheist though I am close to existentialism...
I guess today's generation are so MATERIALISTIC they can no longer appreciate the reality of the "spirit" realm or cannot perceive/relate with it.
Maybe in the past human beings were really spiritual... & as time passed they became GROSSER...

12th POST PI & BALL
9:00 PM
122307
MANILA
Just rose up from my bed... Turned on the TV
but no good show & switched to Eli Soriano's channel,
maybe this will keep me awake (HAR!) thru laughter.
Sample: His musical passage/break sounds like the
tune of Beatles' "OBLADI OBLADA" HAR!
E.S. was answering questions from his audience
One asked about the creation of false images...
yet there is another verse that says God commanded
that a structure be built with "querubins" (cherubs)
or tiny angels with human features...
[Of course all "Christians" should be asked about
the Deuteronomy verse concerning the prohibition against
creation/worship of idols... yet they insist in worshiping idols!]
This is a major problem with the Bible: one can find diametrically
opposed statements. LOTS of these. In logic: contradictions...
This is good for those in DA'WAH when confronted with
idol-worshipers... I read somewhere a long long time ago that
there is a verse in the Bible that is clearly
false & outright UNSCIENTIFIC
It has something to do with the numerical value of
the irrational number PI (= 3.1415...), the constant ratio of the circumference
to the diameter of the circle. There is a description in the Bible about the construction
of some structure that is circular or rounded & if one will really
follow the recipe given one would be led to a value
of PI = 3 or another FIXED terminating value
Bible scholars or experts can supply the
details... THIS IS A CLEARLY UNSCIENTIFIC ITEM FROM
THE BIBLE... SO how can something "Holy" provide
an erroneous (scientific-wise) information.
Is error from God or from the Devil???
Am not so fond of "Bible debates" or even religious
debates (the forte of DEEDAT) because I know these are all
useless or exercises in futility
Of course in philosophy the name of the game is disagreement
but dialectics (as practiced by the Greeks) is supposed to aid
one's thinking or is meant to lead to clarity or "truth"
Debates can be useful practice to develop one's public speaking skills
(rhetorics) & quick thinking... Am not a good debater...
But of course people who watch Soriano or I.N.C. channel are
less worse than those who watch basketball...
Basketball, baseball volleyball, the BALL
a round thing that is the focus of attention of thousands of people
when watching a ballgame... Come to think of it If you were an
ET observing humans watching basketball. you might be misled into
thinking that the BALL is the real object of attention of the whole affair
But in a sense it IS really the object of attention...
BILOG daw ang mundo, Bilog ang BOLA at BILOG din ang PERA (COINS)
BINIBILOG LANG TALAGA ANG ULO NATING LAHAT.
O HINDI KA NANINIWALA SA CONSPIRACY THEORIES?
A BALL GAME IS ANOTHER CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT HUMANS
CAN BE "FOOLED" & MANIPULATED...
"THERE IS MASS STUPIDITY. THERE IS NO MASS INTELLIGENCE."
-sez me
Soriano's phenomenonal ability to attract large crowds is
just a sign that the established religions in RP or at least Manila
have failed or are not doing their job or have outlived their usefulness.
My question: if religion is the highest authority or final arbiter
then who should get the blame for this rotten state of affairs in this
realm they call the "Philippines"?
Definitely, NOT the MUSLIMS...

THE TOUCH
vacation time 1990 or so+ In a room in my aunt's Olongapo Zambales property
Although we had our own room on the 2nd floor, I preferred
to sleep in my cousin Hermie's room which he shared with Cosme (or "Randy")
The room was constantly dark & I sleep soundly in a very dark room
[Like my mother, I am a very "shallow" sleeper. That is I am easily awakened by the slightest
sound & most especially by bright light... I envy those who snore...]
My aunt had a souvenir shop for US SERVICEMEN that was open until 2:00 AM.
But I slept at 9:00 & woke up at midnight to play chess, GG or pusoy or talk with
my cousin & other people at the store until closing time.
One night I was sleeping...
I felt a touch if I remember correctly [but I'm no longer sure] in my thigh or my torso.
My immediate reaction was to swipe at this foreign body on top of me.
It was repeated a second time & again I swiped at the imagined "mouse" that had "climbed up" to me...
I immediately got up & opened the light expecting to find a mouse of cockroach (but cockraoch have sharp/pointed legss)
running about...
But no mouse or cockroach around... The room was
about 2+m by 4+m [AM not good at estimating]... very clean & "sealed" with screened windows
& rubber liners on the door. Mice & cockroaches simply cannot get in or out of the room...
THE TOUCH felt EXACTLY like a finger thrust in one's body. Put your pointing finger on your thigh
like when you're feeling if the thigh is solid or plastic... THAT's how THE TOUCH felt...
To prevent the "mouse" from pestering me, I set a teheras or aluminum folding bed &
placed it on top of the original wooden bed & improvised a double deck bed... I continued my sleep...
The other wooden bed in the room was HERMIE's & it even had a mosquito net (KULAMbo) though the
room had screened windows. The strange thing is that there is a chain pull switch that led
to the bed. It was designed so that the occupant of the bed could instantly open the light...
Later I narrated the "mouse" story (=THE TOUCH) to my cousin & there & then the TRUTH about
the weird frightening experience which even "Randy" (or "Cosme") may have experienced too!
[It's only NOW that I realize maybe that was the reason why this third person seldom
slept in that room & slept somewhere else. He might have also experienced THE TOUCH...
but did not talk about it... My cousin explained to me the EXACT reason why he installed
the chain pull switch was precisely to "catch" whatever "it" was - that thing that
touched him while he slept... When he felt it or was awakened by it he had
to switch on the light but had to stand up to reach the wall switch...
I'm having goosebumps or my skin hair are standing this very moment...
so NOW I utter the three QULs of ISLAAMIC prayer....
THE CHAIN SWITCH + THE DOUBLE BED + THE TOUCH + THE SCORPION = JINN
THE TOUCH - I can only think of FOUR (4) explanations for this:
1) SCIENTIFIC: an E.T. (ultimately a material being) playing a joke on us...
2) SCIENTIFIC: Remote mind/psychic control again joke on us...
3) OCCULT: WITCHCRAFT/SIHR
4) RELIGIOUS/ISLAAMIC: A malevolent JINN ("Shaytan") teasing us...
THE SCORPION strengthens this fourth possibility
READER BE THE JUDGE:
There is more to this story because adjacent to that room was another room
where a strange happening/event had also occured to its female occupants.

POSTING IN LUWARAN WEBSITE... BUT SINCE IT HAD CHANGED ITS

DELETED 5 REPEATED POSTINGS HACKED?...
11:00PM DEC07
So sleepy... Was reclining on our sofa/couch trying to stay awake/resisting
dozing off while watching evening news...
until I tuned to Eli Soriano TV program discussing the Bible
something about "speaking in tongues" & "foretelling the future"
It was in Tagalog & these are my translations into
English of "pagsasalita ng wika" & "panghuhula"
[He was discussing a section of I Corinthian.]
According to Soriano as per BIBLE foretelling is good
or NOT FORBIDDEN!
I thought in ISLAAM we are not supposed to
engage in fortune-telling & gambling...
I was laughing so much I lost my sleepiness
maybe I dont need to drink coffee...
Even JINNS have no knowlege of the future,
a part of ILM UL GHAYB, as proven by the account on PROPHET SULAYMAN (A.S.)
They just steal the communications of ANGELS...
News item: Blast in Melbourne * Chinese mine
I wonder if the latter is intentional to force China to
use OIL instead of COAL. China I read has conducted drillings
in SUDAN??? So there are Chinese military in SUDAN???
SOOOO SLEEPY...
4:00AM DEC08
THE SCORPION
>10 years ago in my late aunt's Olongapo Zambales property
while sleeping inside a room I noticed crawling on the floor
a scorpion about one inch long. I thought that was odd for the
room was quite "sealed" from the inside... It was very clean/well kept
only there was a drainage pipe's "clog access" protruding in one corner...
inside the room it's like being inside a cave or underground chamber
'coz it was constantly dark.
But I kept the low ceiling incandescent lamp with chain switch on & I was
sleeping on a teheras or folding bed atop another wooden bed!
These two facts: that the bed was a makeshift "double deck
bed" & the light had an extra chain control switch have a single/solo
reason [which I shall detail later in another story]
will give one an idea why (i consider) the SCORPION was a JINN!
This weird/frightening story about THE TOUCH shows that
EITHER witchcraft is/JINNs are real OR human beings have found
a scientific way to extend the senses as in "mental projecion"
or "out-of-body travel"...
I want the reader to ponder the connnection between
the terms in my formula/equation:
THE SWITCH + THE DOUBLE DECK + THE SCORPION = JINN!
THE SNAKE
Spent the night in my cousin's house Took a bath Noticed stone plug A snake went into the hole/drain...
was reminded of advice of Muslims regarding JINNs in the form of snakes if seen in one's house...
This happened inside the bath/comfort room of my cousin HERMIE
who was the occupant of the room in my first account before/above
& the one who improvised the chain switch. (I improvised the double deck.)
Both improvisations were due to a SINGLE CAUSE/REASON: THE TOUCH!
Note: THE SNAKE experience came later after THE SCORPION.
My cousin moved to his own house/property
in what they call TABACOHAN in Sta.Rita a barangay of Olongapo Zambales
after the Mt. Pinatubo eruption & U.S. military pullout from their bases
[WONDER IF IT'S TRUE THAT BEFORE THE PINATUBO ERUPTION
THE PNOC WAS CONDUCTING DRILLINGS DAW NEAR THE AREA???
INTENTIONALLY TRIGGERED VOLCANO???
(SHALL DISCUSS THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES ON SECRET WEAPONS & SECRET SCIENCE:
CHANGING THE WEATHER & TRIGGERING TSUNAMIS/EARTHQUAKES & VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS...) INDEED, THERE ARE INTERNET CONSPIRACY TALES THAT ACHEH TSUNAMI WAS TRIGGERED BY INDIAN OCEAN UNDERSEA NUKE EXPLOSION - BY ISRAEL OR SOUTH AFRICA!]
I'm not so sure if our experiences happened before or after the Mt. Pinatubo eruption.
If there are BEINGS from the earth's inner underground layers then these might have been released by the volcanic explosion...

NOTES ON BATANGAN STUDIES:
Better type & record the following while the ideas are still "HOT"
lest my mind wander again & lose the important details...
While having merienda interviewed my old aunt about old BATANGAS,
weaving (HABI) and others.
- She said the center of KULAMBO weaving was in IBAAN although they also
wove in Alitagtag, Bauan... Batanguenos were well-knowm travelling
KULAMBO SELLERS.
-They bought the ABACA thread from BATANGAS CITY or BAUAN & just wove it in their own
barrios... ABACA FIBER came from BIKOL Even Davao was known in Batangas as as source of abaca fiber
She mentioned the most ALA-EH PUNTO was in TAAL
TAAL - BALISONG & BURDA INDUSTRY &
IBAAN - KULAMBO INDUSTRY
My aunt claimed that even in 1948 when she
worked briefly for a fee as poll clerk the dead also voted then
NOTE 1948 MAY DAYAAN NA SA ELEKSYON!
As a child wandering about the place
I remember many a respectable house in ALITAGTAG had its
own weaving machine. OURS was dismantled in the
1970's & most parts ended up unfortunately as firewood
POTENTIALLY THOUSANDS OF PESOS WORTH NOWADAYS
-The width of the clothe was 45 inches at most sometimes
36 inches It takes half-a day to weave a 1 meter length of
fine clothe 'MASINSIN This was a task for experienced weavers,
weaving less tight cloth like kulambo was left to younger people
Normal total length for bedsheet (KUMOT): 6 meters.

a part of ILM UL GHAYB, as proven by the account on PROPHET SULAYMAN (A.S.)
They just steal the communications of ANGELS...
News item: Blast in Melbourne * Chinese mine
I wonder if the latter is intentional to force China to
use OIL instead of COAL. China I read has conducted drillings
in SUDAN??? So there are Chinese military in SUDAN???
SOOOO SLEEPY...

THE SCORPION
>10 years ago in my late aunt's Olongapo Zambales property
while sleeping inside a room I noticed crawling on the floor
a scorpion about one inch long. I thought that was odd for the
room was quite "sealed" from the inside... It was very clean/well kept
only there was a drainage pipe's "clog access" protruding in one corner...
inside the room it's like being inside a cave or underground chamber
'coz it was constantly dark.
But I kept the low ceiling incandescent lamp with chain switch on & I was
sleeping on a teheras or folding bed atop another wooden bed!
These two facts: that the bed was a makeshift "double deck
bed" & the light had an extra chain control switch have a single/solo
reason [which I shall detail later in another story]
will give one an idea why (i consider) the SCORPION was a JINN!
This weird/frightening story about THE TOUCH shows that
EITHER witchcraft is/JINNs are real OR human beings have found
a scientific way to extend the senses as in "mental projecion"
or "out-of-body travel"...
I want the reader to ponder the connnection between
the terms in my formula/equation:
THE SWITCH + THE DOUBLE DECK + THE SCORPION = JINN!
THE SNAKE
Spent the night in my cousin's house Took a bath Noticed stone plug A snake went into the hole/drain...
was reminded of advice of Muslims regarding JINNs in the form of snakes if seen in one's house...
This happened inside the bath/comfort room of my cousin HERMIE
who was the occupant of the room in my first account before/above
& the one who improvised the chain switch. (I improvised the double deck.)
Both improvisations were due to a SINGLE CAUSE/REASON: THE TOUCH!
Note: THE SNAKE experience came later after THE SCORPION.
My cousin moved to his own house/property
in what they call TABACOHAN in Sta.Rita a barangay of Olongapo Zambales
after the Mt. Pinatubo eruption & U.S. military pullout from their bases
[WONDER IF IT'S TRUE THAT BEFORE THE PINATUBO ERUPTION
THE PNOC WAS CONDUCTING DRILLINGS DAW NEAR THE AREA???
INTENTIONALLY TRIGGERED VOLCANO???
(SHALL DISCUSS THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES ON SECRET WEAPONS & SECRET SCIENCE:
CHANGING THE WEATHER & TRIGGERING TSUNAMIS/EARTHQUAKES & VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS...) INDEED, THERE ARE INTERNET CONSPIRACY TALES THAT ACHEH TSUNAMI WAS TRIGGERED BY INDIAN OCEAN UNDERSEA NUKE EXPLOSION - BY ISRAEL OR SOUTH AFRICA!]
I'm not so sure if our experiences happened before or after the Mt. Pinatubo eruption.
If there are BEINGS from the earth's inner underground layers then these might have been released by the volcanic explosion...

NOTES ON BATANGAN STUDIES:
Better type & record the following while the ideas are still "HOT"
lest my mind wander again & lose the important details...
While having merienda interviewed my old aunt about old BATANGAS,
weaving (HABI) and others.
- She said the center of KULAMBO weaving was in IBAAN although they also
wove in Alitagtag, Bauan... Batanguenos were well-knowm travelling
KULAMBO SELLERS.
-They bought the ABACA thread from BATANGAS CITY or BAUAN & just wove it in their own
barrios... ABACA FIBER came from BIKOL Even Davao was known in Batangas as as source of abaca fiber
She mentioned the most ALA-EH PUNTO was in TAAL
TAAL - BALISONG & BURDA INDUSTRY &
IBAAN - KULAMBO INDUSTRY
My aunt claimed that even in 1948 when she
worked briefly for a fee as poll clerk the dead also voted then
NOTE 1948 MAY DAYAAN NA SA ELEKSYON!
As a child wandering about the place
I remember many a respectable house in ALITAGTAG had its
own weaving machine. OURS was dismantled in the
1970's & most parts ended up unfortunately as firewood
POTENTIALLY THOUSANDS OF PESOS WORTH NOWADAYS
-The width of the clothe was 45 inches at most sometimes
36 inches It takes half-a day to weave a 1 meter length of
fine clothe 'MASINSIN This was a task for experienced weavers,
weaving less tight cloth like kulambo was left to younger people
Normal total length for bedsheet (KUMOT): 6 meters.

THE MOSQUITO & ITS ROLE/CONNECTION IN THE KULAMBO BUSINESS
MUSLIM READERS NOTE: THE TERM IN BAHASA ACHEH IS KLEUMBU
& IN TAGALOG TOO (I THINK IT'S BAHASA ULTIMATELY) WHY THE SAME TERM?
I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WAS ANY DIRECT LINK BETWEEN ACHEH & SULU. WHAT MORE WITH BATANGAS... THE COLONIZING DUTCH, SPANIARDS & AMERICANS SHOULD KNOW THE REASON...

THE COCKROACH
About a week ago I found a cockroach that was shedding its coat.
It looked white as milk & only "1 step" away from freeing itself
from its old covering.
[I didnt know cockroaches also undergo "MOLTING".]
It wasnt moving & I thought it was dead. I immediately put it
in a clear plastic bag with the intent of donating or even selling (! : ))
it to interested biologists/zoologists or students for use as exhibit item.
I let in some air in the bag.
After about five (5) days it was still stationary but it was alive.
The third day I was surprised to find out it had re-entered its coat!
I thought, "Gininaw siguro kaya bumalik." It looked naked in its pure
white state of molting & returned to its dark reddish brown usual appearance.
Two days ago I discovered it had escaped by chewing off the plastic.
I wonder where it is now. I entertain the idea that it might have been a "non-ordinary" cockroach. In ISLAAMIC tradition/lore they say JINNs can appear as animals.
But I DOUBT if one would ever appear as a cockroach!
I am more inclined to believe THE SCORPION I saw years back inside a room
in ZAMBALES was a JINN! And my cousin HERMIE's THE SNAKE in his bathroom...
More about these strange incidents/experiences later...
We have so many cockroaches here in the house that we kill at least two a day.
No, we are not unsanitary in habits but the house is really full of gaps/openings
that mice & cockroaches, spiders & crickets can go in & out"at will".
[Do animals have "WILL"?]
Of course, I kill mice & cockroaches while invoking the name of the CREATOR...
Am not really following the Hindu JAIN way but I BELIEVE I HAVE NO RIGHT
TO DESTROY OR KILL ANYTHING [ESPECIALLY LIVING BEINGS]
THAT I DID NOT CREATE...
One should realize how GRAVE it is to KILL a HUMAN BEING whether in RETALIATION,
as a JUDGE-EXECUTIONER or in MERCY-KILLING or ABORTION.
"EUTHANASIA" is a relatively recent issue in PHILOSOPHY & I wonder
if ISLAAMIC JURISPRUDENCE has tackled it & related issues...
Potentially verbose & contentious topix for discussion in this or another BLOG...
A few hours ago, we (including my aunt 8 mother) were almost arguing over why the
refrigerator was unplugged... Only my elder brother who is presently out of the house
& a distant male relative who did not sleep here for the night could have unplugged it. But these two persons have no REASON at all for doing this. Now WHO DUNNIT???... I told my aunt only the five of us could have done it. Of course I wil not accept that some other BEING did it.
I normally try to EXHAUST ALL MATERIALISTIC/SCIENTIFIC ARGUMENTS/POSSIBILITIES/EXPLANATIONS before adopting other MODES of EXPLANATION or alternative PERSPECTIVES.

Of course, "they" or "big brother" or "the conspirators"

Even watched with amusement an arcade game

Is it a matter of pure profit motive that they created or devised
such contrivances (& rides in, say, Enchanted Kingdom)?
The hammer game & its adherents I observed exemplifies
P.T. Barnum's "A sucker is born every minute."

I originally imagined a plain BLACK screen with an

term for laziness) resisted any effort at actualizing
a nice idea... I prefer words and sentences to images

of sound & fury signifying NOTHING"! Just try
going thru the hundreds or thousands of blogs in
the Internet & see how empty & nonsensical people
have become..
I didn't conceive my blog to be a mere "diary" or journal.
Anyway...
I prayed a while ago but am not that certain about
the exact time & direction of "QIBLAH" but I tried
my best...
Before I mention anything further about the AGAMA
I'll try to bring out first all the "UNHOLY" thoughts
still remaining in my brain. It is not that easy to
change one's ideas or convictions... It takes time

But I assure the reader that it can be "developed"...
At least that is my experience or in my own case...
Existentialism... Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Camus...

Continuing my Camus quotes:
"I would rather live my life as if there is a God
and die to find out there isn't, than live my life
as if there isn't and die to find out there is. "
[I DON'T really understand this first one...]
"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal. "
[This fits me to a T.]
"One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves."
"The society based on production is only productive, not creative."
"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the
fundamental question of philosophy."
"We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking."
I didn't quote some other statements because they no longer fit me
as a "believer" - (English translation of an Arabic term)
I
think this is enough for the French absurdist-existentialist writer.
Camus was born in Oran, Algeria. His book L'etranger (The Outsider
translated by Stuart Gilbert) is one of the most important books I have
ever read which really HIT me. The novel tackles the murder of an
ARAB! I wonder if Bush was briefed about MY life... because I read in one
website that Bush read or was holding or discussed or whatever this
work of Camus... I will discuss it later as a matter of course...

Nov. 16, 2007 7:16 P.M.
Attended EIR's Michael Billington talk
& was able to ask a question but couldn't
compose my thoughts clearly/logically
so wasn't able to exploit the full opportunity
Learned that "environmentalism" & "C02
problem" are the gimmicks of some groups...
I thought: why are some people not satisfied
with their own problems/misery/happiness
& try to INVOLVE others... I am definitely
not like them because I live my life privately/
to myself... Maybe I'm autistic without
knowing it??? They say that man is a social
animal (i.e. gregarious) but I feel Albert Camus
was fundamentally correct that one's death is
in a sense "one's own." Even Albert Einstein said
something similar: that in the final analysis one is
alone by oneself in one's existence.
You will die alone. Even if you try to
involve your most beloved one in a death pact
I doubt if you'll end up together in the same place
in the hereafter. [Imagine, a la Rome & Juliet
lovers' "suicide" pact, but one ends up in
heaven/intermediate place while the other ends
up in hell! HAR!
Quotes from Albert Camus
(Camus, an atheist-existential philosopher was one of the important
thinkers who influenced my early thinking. I read him in high school.
I wondered why his ideas struck a chord with my own... like he was
writing my own ideas... I had to undergo first the existential angst
before I decided to "have a religion". So my having a religion is not
really that simple because it is grounded on an existentialist base.)
"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.”
"What is a rebel? A man who says NO.”
"We are all special cases."
Camus style: Brief, simple, direct, devastating...
To be continued...
I intend to share my knowledge of other
people's ideas in so far as I AGREE with
theirs & shall write MY OWN later

Camus style: Brief, simple, direct, devastating...
To be continued...
I intend to share my knowledge of other
people's ideas in so far as I AGREE with
theirs & shall write MY OWN later

Welcome to my blog...
I created this blog specifically to free the luwaran website
from the burden of my postings at their "Islam & Terrorism"
forum which I "hijacked" for some time (~3 months)
I have many interests:
Philosophy & Religion in general includingIslaam
Mathematics & Science, Technology
Arts & Crafts
Malayology
Enigmatology
Bangsamoro & Philippine Culture, History & Politics
Language & Symbology, atbp. etc.
Knowledge in general including esoteric/magical/mystical
Of course, I consider myself
"A SELF-APPOINTED, SELF-PROCLAIMED
FOUNDING FATHER OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES
IN THIS PHILIPPINESIA"
and I intend to use this site to articulate & develop my ideas
on this "new" field of knowledge which is STILL not
taken seriously in the academe or by scholars...
But this trend is now changing...
I intend this site to be for LEARNERS
"SEEK KNOWLEDGE FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE."
[I shall intersperse my statements with some humorous
remarks once in a while so I expect my reader to be
not really that "serious-to-death";
I shall use common icons, symbols or shortcuts like
HAR! (GUFFAW/LAUGH), :) etc]
I shall express myself in the most popular
international language of English...
Am not so fond of machines actually though I realize
the computer is a reality that we cannot ignore...
Am too lazy or better lack the initiative to create
a highly visual blog with lots of moving images
& sounds like the usual ones we see.
I prefer IDEAS to SENSUAL IMPULSES
although I am an extremely SENSUAL person
(i.e.very sharp senses except for my eyes which are highly-myopic)
I can be very JUDGMENTAL though I try to be fair
to everyone & do not want to "hurt other persons' feelings"
Of course, my OBSESSION is TRUTH
So, you may consider me a TRUTH-SEEKER
