The Story

The Mind Food Character's Narrative 

Stopping the Mind
Using Self-forgiveness and Self-Correction 
Taking Self-responsibility For What I Created In My Mind as My 'Within'
 and the World system 'Without

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to - separate myself from the physical by having a relationship with my mind - where i can act out many mind characters that suit every occassion - so having a look at this video - where i invited my friend 'Aruni' - a Filipino yogi friend - to taste the food that i made - siopao - which is a steamed bun with vegetable filling -telling him to not show the doughy part of the video because i judged that as less than myself - defining myself within the 'judging siopao dough as less than me' character - believing that if i make a doughy siopao i will be judged by the youtube cooks as not a good cook- defining myself within the 'fear of not being a good cook - critizicing' character - where i have fear of being criticized - defining myself within the ' fear of being critisized - siopao dough' character -

 BELIEVED to be 'DOUGHY'
BELIEVED to be the  'PERFECT DOUGH'

 believing that a perfect siopao has a lot of fillings and little dough - defining myself within the 'little dough is good- siopao - i know' character -where i judged  myself as not good enough in making doughs - believing that if others know that the siopao has more dough than filling i will be judged as  a 'not so good cook' - so i 'd rather hide the imperfections - defining myself within the 'hiding imperfections - siopao dough' character - so letting my friend taste my food and knowing he liked it - to shot it on video so that he can compliment me and say 'i am a good cook' and video him complimenting me - defining myself within the 'siopao - dishonest' character - where i shoot a video of it so that i can have a video of how my friend likes my cooking - defining myself within the 'show the opposite - dishonest' character - where what i fear - being judged and criticized by others - i also do to others - judging and criticizing siopao cooked by others and judging the dough as good or not depending on the thickness of the dough versus the filling - defining myself within the 'i fear my dishonesty - mirrored by others - dishonest' character - where in having a desire for a compliment  i separate myself from what is here by going within my mind - in fearing to be criticized by others and criticizing food cooked by others i separate myself from what is here by going within my mind - in judging the siopao as less than me and essentially me more than the siopao - i separate myself from what is here by going within my mind- in fearing  not having friends who like my food i separate myself from what is here by going within my mind - in fearing not having the 'youtube' community recognize me as a good cook i separate myself from what is here by going within my mind - in an alternate reality where i am an alternate version of me - and manifesting those desire and fear in the physical to make it look like it is real - but it isn't - i become an animated illusion - abdicating who i am as the real character - as flesh - as blood - as the body


- where looking at the food items -i did not bring the food items here -  the flour, the yeast and the sugar in the dough -the vegetarian mock duck, the vegetarian ham, soy sauce, cumin, anise, cinnamon, sugar, oil, celery, cabbage and water - as equal to my expression - as i see them through my mind - and never as what they are - made from the same substance i am made of - as all are made of - equal to my expression as who i really am - standing as equal to the food

looking at the flour used in the siopao - that came from the wheat plant - where the wheat was planted in the land that is part of/as nature - the land being made from the same substance - i am made of - as all are made of - harvested from the land by people who want to cook food and show off to others how good they are - as i am - in cooking - and posting youtube videos to make it known to everyone that - they, as chefs or home cooks - are good cooks - similar to what i did


- so as i  participate in my mind 'within' - i also create this world system in my 'without' - so as i as all do it we together create this world system based on inequality - where plants and animals are slaughtered for food and profit - within self-interest - not realizing that we can assist in creating a new system based on equality where animals and plants will not be slaughtered for profit - and all will be able to live in a world that truly honors life based on equality.





and let's have a look at when we eat siopao - we eat it with mami or a noodle soup where we can opt to use spork and spoon or 'ivory chopstick' - coming from the tusk of the elephant which was cut off from the body of the elephants to be sold for money. Money is being used to express inequality among man and animals - not really being given value equal to life itself.


Elephant tusks made into Ivory Chopsticks 


 - and looking at my childhood where i go to this restaurant in the Philippines called Mamonluk - who serves siopao and mami (chinese noodles) - where when my mom ask me where i would like to eat i tell him i like to eat in this restaurant in the city - where the taste of mami (chinese noodles) and siopao - quench my desire for food - where i use mami and siopao  to satisfy my desire for tasty food - defining myself within the 'i like tasty siopao- food- happiness' character - where i separate myself from what is here - within that desire for siopao and mami within my mind - as the mind character fearing not being given mami and siopao - where i feel sad without being given the tasty food that i want - defining myself within the 'fear of being sad - no mami and siopao - no tasty food' character - where i get positive energy experience from eating siopao and mami at the chinese restaurant - where i have stored pictures of mami and siopao within my mind - where when i hear mami and siopao - the picture of me eating siopao and mami in Mamonluk restaurant in the Philippines - comes up in my mind - and manifests in the physical where my mouth salivates- where i animate an illusion  - and where i instead let the mind decide for the body rather than the body deciding for itself.
Stopping The Mind Story
Stopping The Mind Chatter

Not Participating In The Narrative of The Mind Character 
To Birth me Here As Life
Self-Commitment

I commit myself to when and as i see myself desiring others to like the food that i cook -coming from 'fear of others not liking my food - sadness' character-  i stop - i breathe. I realise that i created this within/as my mind - desiring happiness - from the starting point of 'fear of being sad' - 'fear of not being liked' -  'fear of not having anyone to validate my existence' -and 'fear of being criticized by others' - which is actually what i do - where i also desire to criticize others and desire to judge them as 'not so good' cook when i see that the sioapao or food they cooked is not according to what i judged as good - according to knowledge and information - i heard or have seen - based from beliefs - to instead of me following my fears within and as myself - and the whole mind narrative above of the mind character that is an alternate version of me in an alternate reality within my mind - to assit myself to bring myself back here -as the physical/body - assist myself to work with the body and let the body decide which food is needed by the body to sustain itself and trusting that - not believing in outrageous claims about food - but standing as equal to the food - and seeing how it responds to it -and when and as i see myself asking compliments from my friends - desiring happiness from being complimented -i stop - i breathe  - and realize that i am here - equal to the same substance all are made of - so doing a video from the starting point of desiring compliment from my friend and likes from youtube audience within/as my mind to satisfy that desire - which comes from fear of not being liked - and developing a relationship with my mind 'within' and supporting this unequal monetary system where animals and plants are slaughtered for profit - which is supporting self-interest - and is not best for nature, the animals, the elephant, the plants and not best for humans and not best for me because i will be busy hearing the noise in my head from all the desires and fears i created - which is essentially not best for  all - but rather based from self-interest - so rather than having fear and desire - i direct myself to walk out of the mind and assist myself to start working with what is here within and as the body - and realise that many people complimenting who i am will not change my experience of who i am and what i am - only i can change my experience of who i am and what i am by accepting and allowing myself to direct myself as life - so directing the mind narrative and change it to a narrative that is aligned it to what is best for all - and to assist the establishment of a world based on equality - and only accept that which is best for all - giving value equal to life - to the elephant, nature, money, food and humans - to/ as all.

I commit myself to delete the memories as  pictures as desires etc. within and as myself and let go of the separation as desires, beliefs etc. within/as myself and walk out of the noise in the mind created by all the characters to hear what is here - as the physical breath by breath moment by moment.

As People Who Eat with  Ivory Chop Sticks 

The 'Ivory Chopstick -Happiness' Mind  Character Narrative
Self-forgiveness 

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed  myself to use ivory chopsticks to eat - defining myself within the 'eating tasty food - ivory chopstick' character - where i do not consider the harm inflicted on animals as the elephant suffers while i as all - try to take away it's tusks just to be able to eat food using chopsticks - instead of using other eating utensils or hands - just to be happy - within self-interest-  for the purpose of having a positive energy experience from having an expensive chopsticks to show off to friend's and relatives - desiring to be better than others - by having more money than others -defining myself within  the 'elite - happiness' character - where i desire to buy ivory chopsticks - in the expense of elephant suffering - from pain - defining myself within the 'i don't care -ivory chopstick' character - having the elephant's tusk's removed from the body -defining myself within the 'cruel to animals - ivory chopstick' character - not seeing and realizing the oneness and equality of all life - as i exist within the noise within/as my mind - of thoughts, backchats, internal conversations etc. that i do not hear what is here - as the physical - existing within an alternate reality - within/as my mind where i have desensitized myself from the suffering and pain - of all as me - not  feeling the elephant's pain in my body - as i have desensitized my body from pain - defining myself within the 'desensitized from pain - ivory chopstick' character - manipulating my body to not feel pain - so i can be happy all the time - defining myself within the 'eternal happiness - ivory chopstick' character - not seeing and realizing that i created a system - defining myself within the 'system relationships of characters - ivory chopstick' character - as all the relationships of all the characters i have become - where i made sure i cannot find who i am - defining myself within the 'i am trying to find me as i hide me from me - ivory chopstick' character within self-sabotage - so i will not realise who i am as all that is here - defining me within the 'self-sabotage - ivory chopstick' character  - existing in  separation from all that is here - not seeing the reality that i am made from the same substance the elephant is made of -as all are made of - as i defined myself within the 'i fear pain' character desiring positive energy experience - defining myself within the 'i like to be happy' character - so i will not see the enormity of the consequence i have accepted and allowed - defining myself within the 'i don't like consequence - ivory chopstick' character - where i put a golden cloak around me - as the 'happiness' cloak - which made me desensitized to pain like an anaesthesia - believing and manifesting the belief that 'i am happy'-within my mind  - defining myself within the 'manifested belief  in separation from all that exist' character - and within that separation from all  - stopping me from realizing the oneness and equality that exist as life - as all - defining myself within the 'i don't want to realize who i am - chopstick' character - and as i want to hide the fear of pain - so i can only be aware of happiness - defining myself within the 'fear of pain hiding -ivory chopstick' character

http://junejourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-breath-21-days-breathing-sf-zen.html

- the same 'happiness' character that is masking the fear of pain and suffering - defining myself within the 'hiding the pain - sadness' character - through playing out the 'i am happy' character- doing zen meditation - desiring to avoid suffering - defining myself within the 'i fear suffering - happiness as zen meditation' character - not realizing and fearing that one day i will have to face myself as who i have become - defining myself within the 'overwhelmed -i fear taking responsibility -surrender to the guru ' character - and fearing pain - fearing taking responsibility - fearing not existing - defining myself within the 'fear of not existing - not surviving - inferior ' character - and as all characters that i have played out in my life - and as at this moment i am doing self-forgiveness and commitment to correction to birth me as the real character that takes self-responsibility for all creations, manifestations, thoughts, backchats, consequences, outflows moment by moment breath by breath - as in walking back - and seeing how i am creating the 'fear of pain' and the 'i like to be happy' mind characters that i played out in my life - to walk out of the noise from the noise created by all these characters that are in conversation within my mind -as all parts of me - as who i have become - just because i fear facing me - defining myself within the ''i fear facing me - fear' character - as i believe i have done so many things that is evil - defining myself within the 'i am evil - sadness' character- where i do not really like who i have become - defining myself within the 'i do not like me - inferior' character - so i fear myself - defining myself within the 'i fear me  - i am a liar- inferior' character - where when i was young i lied to my grandmother telling her the lady she was asking me to collect money from as she owes her money for the dress she had made her - where i told my grandmother the lady was not there - so instead of proceeding to collect the money she owes my grandmother - i turned back and said she's not there when all it was - was me fearing the darkness - as it was 7 pm at night when i was about 7-9 years old - defining myself within the 'fear of darkness - lying - inferior' character - where i fear the unknown that there can possibly be a ghost lurking in the darkness that will harm me - defining myself within the 'fear of ghosts in the dark - lying- inferior ' character  and fearing me  as i hide the truth from others - defining myself within the 'i fear me - hiding- inferior' character - where when i was about 7-8 yrs old i would hide and watch this boy, named E.M.,  while i was hiding behind the curtain to peep to see  if he already arrived in school - looking over from my great grandmother's house opposite the school i go to - hiding the truth to my teacher that i was desiring to dance with this guy in our presentation - as i do not want anyone to dance with any other boy but him - defining myself within the 'i like him - i don't like anyone else- specializing' character - hoping they would pick this boy to always be my partner - defining myself within the 'hoping - i desire to dance with E '  character as i liked being paired dancing with him as i get a good feeling looking at how he moved being a little bit quiet and reserved - defining myself within the 'i like a reserved guy like my dad - infatuation' character - being my classmate in elementary grades -as i get a positive energy experience dancing with him - defining myself within 'dancing with a boy named E.M. - happiness' character  - not realizing that dancing as self-expression and not charging the physical act with a positive or negative value is enjoying the physical - as who i am - and dancing with someone as myself - as an equal - is me being equal to the movements of my physical body while dancing and expressing with someone as myself - as equal to the physical/body - is being here - as who i am as breath - suppressing myself from enjoying a physical moment expression with/as someone - as i believed enjoyment with the opposite sex is not allowed - defining myself within the 'not allowed - self-supression' character - as i was not an adult but a child - defining myself within the 'child - inferior' character -  i suppressed myself within enjoying my physical expression with the opposite sex  - defining myself within the believing that i have to be married to someone before i can enjoy myself with the opposite sex - defining myself within 'fear of expressing with the opposite sex -dancing- inferior' character' - as i desire to dance and express myself through movement with someone - defining myself within the 'desire to dance with someone' character

-so as we go back to that scene where i was judging myself as inferior - desiring to be superior - by making myself look superior through wearing clothes which i have given a positive value to- defining myself within the 'clothes making me superior' character - within fear of looking bad - defining myself within the 'i fear i look ugly - inferior' character - so my desire to look beautiful came about - defining me within the 'beautiful - superior' character

- and looking at the inferior character again - where in class i was fearing  not being  able to answer what the teacher is asking the students - defining myself within the 'fear of not having an answer - inferiority' character - defining myself within the 'i know the answer-superior' character - desiring to excel in school  with high grades to please my parents - defining myself within the 'desiring high grades - happiness' character -and my desire to eat during recess - defining myself within the 'i like recess more than i like studying- judging ' character -  judging eating sweets as more than myself and me less than myself - liking to eat even when i was not hungry just to get a positive energy experience form sweets  during recess  - defining myself within the 'eating as desire for positive energy  - food ' character - desiring the sweet gooey texture of food - and feeling inferior when my friends have more money to buy more delicious food during recess time -defining myself within the 'fear of not being happy not having food and money - inferior' character

 'having sweet delicious food plus money - superior'  character - where i desire to have more money to buy more delicious sweet food - defining myself within the 'desiring sweet delicious food and money to buy - happiness' character- where i am in an alternate reality as the alternate version of me within my mind - not hearing what is here as the physical here - as the eternal physical substance - as the physical body - as the physical existence.

Not Participating in The Mind Character's Narrative 
Self-commitment

I commit myself to when and as i see myself following the narrative of the 'ivory chopstick - happiness' character - i stop - I breathe. I change the narrative of the mind character - as i have created this within/as my mind in an alternate reality where i am an alternate version of me -change it to a narrative that is directed by who i am as what i am - looking at what i have become and walking this process - as i am doing now directing myself and writing the narrative- expressing me here  - realising that i come from the same substance all are made of - equal to all that exist . I stop following the mind happiness character's narrative. I bring myself back here and see the commonsense of what i realised walking the mind character's narrative. It does not make sense and is not what is best for all . It's starting point is self-interest - to assist myself to realise that my desire for happiness comes from my fear of  pain - and so to assist myself to stop fearing pain and see realize and understand that coming from the starting point of pain - i am stopping me from facing me - within self-sabotage. I assist myself to walk out of the noise in my head and bring myself back here to instead of being directed by desire for happiness - equalise myself with /as pain - which comes from not being equal to/as my body -  having no intimate real relationship with/as it -so to assist myself to estabkish a real relationship with my body - support its structure as i move and express and function - slooooooooow myself down - and embrace the totality of pain - as the physical substance - as who i am, as all - embracing the consequence of everything that i have created, manifested - the outflows etc. knowing that walking the totality of my creation within and without from the time i can remember to now- will i be able to stop the mind - as it is within embracing all the relationships i have created, stopping the charge i have given the word, manifestation, expression etc.can i see the values i have given it and each and every relationship i have created - and seeing that - i can take the relationships down, as i stop giving charge and value to it -take self-responsibility moment by moment breath by breath - and stop it - and in that embracing all the pain that the elephant suffers - equal to the pain in my body - equal to the substance that my body is made of - can i  equalise with it and in taking self-responsibility for the consequence i have created 'within and without' - i am assisting myself to be in a position where i can stop participation in the creation of both - with/as my mind - with/as my body - accepting and allowing myself to equalise my 'within and without' - for within that embracing of all parts of me -taking responsibility for all that i have done in the name of self-interest - self-forgiving - and committing to correction - giving self to self - accept and allow me to birth me here standing for what is best for all.

I commit myself to delete the memories, as pictures, as desires within and as myself - and let go of the separation  within and as myself and stand with the physical breath by breath moment by moment.

I commit myself to expose the abuses to elephants and all animals as a whole in my blogs

I commit myself to call on activists and humane societies to - rather than ask the system for reform and be the 'rebel' rebelling against authority - to instead assist in establishing a new system based on equality and create a world that truly honors life  - where animals and plants will be supported and treated asequals - and stop slaughter of both plants and animals for profit.
