Perceptions and baggage

Hang ups I think you need to sort out:
The perceived burden of achievement expectations.

The fact that Mama's anxiety quotient is tied in to your perceived well being.

Clarity on your feelings and perceptions of your relationship with me - love, hate, indifferent, situational.

Unsaid, yet perceived expectations you have from Mama or me.

Its perceptions that become baggage.

Coping

You wish your choices didnt need explanations.
Well being concerns of parents seem meddlesome and intrusive.
Just normal growing up issues. About time you learnt to cope!

Observing without thinking

Arun - Reading Jiddu K nowadays.... Guy is very radical. m finding him little oversceptic. He insists on observing without thinking. I am not able to get it. Comment.
Me - Difficult to observe without thought. Observation is generally with intent and because of that, what is observed will always be evaluated against that intent. And thats thought.If he means a passive observer who just sees without reflection, then its about shutting off previous knowledge in present experience. An allusion to the mind as a sense sponge? Tuff!

Me - Observing without thinking is integralto the meditation process.
It is also a feature of apathy.
Arun - It sounds good theoretically, but is it possible to practice it on a routine basis?
Me - The meditative mode is what realised minds are about. Apathy is a product of meaningless routine. The former is aspired to. The latter a by-product of purposeless existence.

Worrying

Worry is a natural outcome of concern for anothers well being. A sign of caring. Worrying only stops when one is assured of the others well being or...if one stops caring.

Easing Exam Blues-II

Remember,
that to remember,
has been a studied campaign.
Strategy and effort planned
to have the subject contained.
So just launch into the exam 2moro and..
Blitzkrieg the Q & A.


1/12/10
An unintended fallout of back to back exams is the ability to prioritise and speed read that helps cram the course with just hours in hand. The schedule is the power. Adrenalise.

The flipside to exams!
Exams don't encourage individual original thought. They dont encourage learning for the sake of it. All they do is encourage you to rape your subject, reduce it to a few memorable, pithy arguments and facts and then reproduce them in semi legible form, surrounded by 50 people doing the same thing.

You're nobody. Nobody's perfect. So you're perfect.

Easing Exam blues..I

24 hours n you'll have your fill
spewing facts that your cramming still,
for marks and n education.
Testing times rarely ever feel good,
but when memory serves up answers as it should,
its great
So when you wake up in the morning
and you look outside.
Remember above all to have a good time n sing
Hey, hey, hey
I know exactly whats going on.
And then say
Right on......the heat is on.

(Sing it to the tune of Whats up..)
