Do We Eat to Live or Do We Live to Eat?

That is indeed the question! 😊 Penang is a special and lucky place – we are blessed with an abundance of great tasting, mouthwatering food – so much so, that we made it to CNN’s top 22 travel destinations of 2022 with delicious food being one of the primary highlights.

The question remains though – do we eat to live or do we live to eat?

The answer, first and foremost – we live to become Truth. This is the reason we eat and live.

Living Well

For some of us, we measure how well we are living, by how well we eat and with whom we share the meal with. Eating well can symbolize prosperity and abundance – and eating itself promotes the release of feel-good hormones such as dopamine – all in all which makes eating a very enjoyable experience for most of us. 😊

When we step back and reflect on it however – we may sometimes wonder – is eating the only thing we look forward to in our lives? Is our goal just to eat 3 times a day really well, and repeat this until we die, or is there a bigger purpose for our existence that we can look forward to?

The Reason We Eat and Live – To Become Truth

In the time of incompletion, eating can take centre stage in our lives. After all, eating makes us happy and it helps us survive.

In the time of completion though, we don’t need external factors such as the attachment to food to make us happy. In this age of completion, we can realize the reason we came to this world is to live eternally in the Land of Truth, where there is no death.

Everyone wants to live happily forever – and now is such a time when we can achieve this from within our minds.

When we discard all our false human mind, go to the existent world which is Truth where there is no death and are reborn from there – then we can live forever.

To do this, we must find a place where we can become Truth and learn from there.

This is the reason we eat and live.

Is It Possible to Always Be Happy?

Short answer – yes! 😊 Once we recover our original true mind which is the existence of happiness itself, we are always happy regardless of the situation.

 

The reason we’re not happy

The main reason we’re not happy is that our expectations and ideals often do not match reality and things do not go in the way that we want/expect. 

From here, it is important to know where our expectations come from in the first place.

Humans take pictures of everything in the world and store these pictures within one’s own mind. From these pictures, we created our own mind world, and live inside this false copied world, instead of actually living in the world.

It is from this false mind world of pictures where tens of thousands of thoughts come from, which form our expectations and ideals that don’t match reality. This mind world of pictures makes it difficult for us to accept all situations without any wants or expectations, thus causing unhappiness within. 

How to always be happy?

Everything in the human mind is false and illusionary as it does not actually exist in the world. For example, no matter how much we think about money in our minds, we will never be able to use the money in our minds to buy something in real life.

Knowing we’re living in our own illusionary mind world of pictures is the first step.

Next is to find a place that teaches us how to discard our false pictures until our original true mind, which is the mind of Truth, remains.

The mind of Truth has absolutely nothing.

As it has absolutely nothing, it doesn’t have any wants or expectations.

It doesn’t chase happiness too.

It can accept all situations and conditions and is thus the existence of happiness itself.

The way to always be happy is to become the mind of Truth which is happiness itself. 😊

Becoming Truth is now possible because the method now exists.

How to Stop Living with Regrets

Hi everyone! How are you doing? 😊

Most of us have regrets about something in our lives. 

It can range from the light-hearted i.e. regretting eating too much and suffering a stomach discomfort after that 😅 – to the not-so-light-hearted such as regretting getting angry at a loved one or not being able to live the life that we envisioned.

In Bronnie Ware’s book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, she found that the most common regrets from patients in palliative care were:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

What are your topmost regrets? 

Fortunately, there is now a way to end the cycle of regret.  

 

How to Stop Living with Regrets

No matter the degree of regret you feel, there is a way to stop living with regrets. Here are some tips:

1.  Self-reflection

Start by reflecting on yourself:

• What are my regrets?
• What can I do to reduce or overcome this feeling?

Be as specific as possible in your self-reflection. 

We suggest writing it down as writing allows us to really work through our emotions and our plan to overcome it. 

To better illustrate, your self-reflection could go along below lines:

• What are my regrets? e.g. Not living the life that I want.

• What can I do to reduce this feeling?

(i) Identify exactly the key objective that you’re trying to achieve. 

e.g. spending more quality time with family

(ii) Set realistic goals to achieve your objective. Break the goals into even smaller goals if that helps.

e.g. 

learning how to actively listen or 

learning how to put the phone down when talking with family members or 

learning how to reasonably say no to frequent late night work conference calls (with possible workarounds such as call recordings etc.)

2.  Acceptance

Once part 1 is done, next – it is to accept that past regrets are exactly that – the past. They are dreams that have already passed. Once we can accept this, it is easier to let go of our regrets.

3.  Willpower to change 

Make it a point in your heart to really change. Once you do this, it is easier to remember and stick to your objective. You can adjust your goals according to the situation but be firm on achieving your objective.

4.  Discarding regrets and breaking the cycle

Meditation is an excellent way to discard past regrets so that you don't have to live with these past shadows anymore. It also helps you do all 3 points above better. 

Discarding helps create more space in your mind and heart to accept everyone and all situations regardless. With the newly created space in your mind, it helps you better focus on the objective and goals you've set for yourself too.  

Lastly – as the deepest regrets are often caused by deep-rooted habits – meditation is a powerful ally in overcoming these habits so that the cycle no longer repeats itself.

The Best Meditation

Hello all! How are you doing? 😊

With so many different meditations available today – we may ask ourselves at some point – which meditation is the best meditation? And which technique is the best meditation technique for me?

The answer lies first in defining the ultimate goal of meditation.  

 

The Ultimate Goal of Meditation

The final destination, the ultimate goal why we meditate – is to achieve human completion.

The reason why we suffer in the first place is because we are not one with our origin.

Our origin is the infinite universe emptiness that existed forever ago, exists now, and will continue to exist forever after.

Our origin is eternal, never-changing and always alive. It is Truth itself.

Because people are incomplete, we are not one with our origin.

Because people are incomplete, we meditate to become complete.

Completion means falseness becomes Truth.

Completion means to become one with our origin.

When our falseness becomes wholeheartedly Truth, and when we become one with our origin, there is no further meditation to be done.

 

The Best Meditation Technique

The best meditation method is the one that allows us to achieve human completion.

Human completion cannot be achieved as long as one’s false mind still remains.

Therefore, look out for a method that allows you to subtract all your false mind.

When the false mind is completely eliminated, only the true mind, Truth, our origin will remain.

From there, if you are born again in the true world, Truth is within you and the Land of Truth is within you.

This is how you can achieve human completion.

And once you achieve human completion, there is no further meditation to do.

This is the best meditation method.

What is complete enlightenment?

Many of us want enlightenment and at times, we may feel that – ah, I am enlightened.  

But the question we should ask ourselves is – to what extent are we enlightened?

Enlightenment is knowing Truth to the extent the false human mind has been discarded.

Complete enlightenment is to be born again in the Universe mind while living and living in heaven, the Land of Truth.

From here, there are no curiosities, questions or doubts. 

You know it all. 

And you have become enlightenment itself.

Know Your Real Value

As people live in this world, many people make something new according to their will. 

However, what is most valuable is to become Truth. 

Unless people become Truth, there is no real value in people's achievements, as those achievements are all useless.

What is truly valuable for humankind is from incomplete to complete and live together with all the people around us.

People's real value is in becoming Truth and living eternally, and those who accumulate many their blessings in the Land of Truth have value.

The valuable people are those who go from being in the incomplete, false world, to being born and living in the true world, which is complete.
