This morning I found out that Ar Razi spent 2 years learning Arabic and 12 years redefining the translation of the Quran.
So I asked him, why don't he publicly make his work known? He said if he do that, he will be in deep trouble. What a waste of talent.
I read his Quran Translation. It is very different from the normal translation. He carries with him the scientific background and so the Quran becomes a guidebook on good living.
Just like me who see the Quran as a Book of War and the Book of Magic, Ar Razi look at the Quran as an operation manual.
Personally he is force-feeding his concept according to his interpretation. Just like I interpret Starry Night as a mother and child which is the twin dragons. It is utter nonsense. If you ask Van Gogh, the meaning is absolutely different.
Same with the Quran, the only right interpretation comes from Muhammad. Even then he will not reveal the true meaning because he won't reveal the real motive of the verses.
I look at the Quran as time specific. I tried to live by the teaching of the Quran. However it is not compatible with the present day. Take for example the provision of what the right hand possesses. That is no longer applicable because those are meant to be war captives and slaves.
So that alone made the Quran obsolete. Not to mention about the inaccuracies with re[ad] (regard) to the sun, moon, stars and sky.
I don't really understand Sarah. People like RR for example read the same Quran as I do. But when he comes to the verses in question, he said he just let it pass because it is not within his concern. Is he being myopic or is it conformity bias?
I told Ar Razi, although I listen to his thoughts, I am on a different spectrum altogether. We all believe what we want to believe Sarah. We have to believe in something. That is the human nature. With our beliefs we make our world.
Right now my belief is Fuzzy Thinking. With that my world is one big paradox. However I am not going to fully subscribe to the concept because while I strive in paradox, I also acknowledge there are absolutes. At best Fuzzy Thinking makes me fluid in my thoughts and flexible in my actions.
Therefore while I accept dualism (Nothing is Everything and Everything is Nothing) I also accept firm is firm and emptiness is emptiness. If you notice even Suzuki Roshi contradicts himself when comes to dealing with dualism.
What is the difference between me and Suzuki Roshi then? Well in my case I am not confined to one doctrine. I am a synthesizer. Then I synchronize and finally I create synergy. I am like water as mentioned by Bruce Lee:
It is only possible because I don't have a preset paradigm to fall back to as stated by Rumi:
That makes me a Free Radical. On top of that I don't give a fuck and I have no reputation to uphold. That is the best part of being me. I am free from any form and structure.
I can only do that as long as I remain small. The minute I have dependencies, I am no longer a free spirit. Once I am part of any system I will not be free from being free.
At this moment I am like a bird. I do whatever I like and I can go anywhere I want to go. Well, of all the things I can do to create maximum pleasure with minimum effort, talking to you tops it all. This is where I want to be at this very moment.
So tell me Sarah, what else do I need to be happy? Currently this is the pinnacle of my happiness.
-----------------
The more I think about it the more I am convinced about being a Nothing. I never experience such peace as I am experiencing now. I am like a preschooler. I am truly free. It is my sincere intention to let the Tetrahedron handle all the money if we ever gonna get the RM97 million. Just give me my daily lunch money and I'll be very happy to have as little as possible in my pocket.
What else I need to buy? I got it all. I even got stuff I don't wear. Still brand new. I was such a wasteful person. Nowadays I make a point to wear all my watches within a week.
I am more convinced now that all it takes is for me to be thin and fast. Other than that I only need money for sustenance. When I look at the things I buy but don't use, I realize that I was hooked on buying. Once I passed the buying phase there is nothing. Just like beyond the ring there is nothing LOL.
Of course if I look for the reason to spend, there are always things to buy. However do I need it? Do I need these?
Lizzie said, if we have plenty of money, we should let an NGO handle the money to help provide skills to the poor. Start with a district and keep expanding to other districts. I like the idea very much. Train one district to become barbers or seamstress. Then another district train them to become online marketeers and so on.
I have no business interest whatsoever. If I am to do it, I will give scholarship for those who want to pursue their studies on nutrition and sport science combined. That way they can focus on diet and exercise. That is as far as I'll go. Maybe if I want to take it one notch up, I open up Diet and Exercise Clinics. Then again once I have dependencies, I will not be free. So we keep the money among us.
