Turning Point: An operation that saved his daughter’s life taught him the need to stockpile rare knowledge such as her doctor’s

He wipes it off and begins haltingly.

“At the end of the procedure, I realized how precious the doctor’s knowledge was. It occurred to me that no one other than this doctor would ever know about this whole thing. There had to be a way”. And that is how Wikipedia came about.

Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

– Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

快樂之道

Gradually I learned to be indifferent to myself and my deficiencies;

I came to centre my attention increasingly upon external objects:

the state of the world,

various branches of knowledge,

individuals for whom I felt affection.

撮要 1

這段改篇自 2010 年 2 月 12 日的對話。

總結一下,我們今日討論了「時間定義」。然後就討論了人過身以後,對「時間」的感覺會有什麼不同。接著,我就說其中一個可能性是,過了身以後,人會面對同一個客觀物理世界。即使是那樣,由於我們的存在形式改變了,我們對「同一個客觀物理世界」的主觀認知會有所不同。

跟住,我嘗試解釋人過身時,存在形式 為何會改變 和 如何改變。其中一個要點是,過身以後,一個人的「自我」再不會限制於同一個頭顱之中。

而在相反的另一方面,在生的時候,一個人的頭顱之中,有超過一個「自我」。例如,一個人的左右兩腦,各自可以看成一個完整的「人格」。

學問潛行凶間

讀書與睡眠 2

This essay is adapted from a dialogue on 2010.11.11.

CCL: One more question, should I

1. sleep more to maintain a high level of efficiency; or

2. sleep less to prolong the working hours? 

Which one do you think is better?

Me: I suggest you to do BOTH. Let me explain:

2. sleep less to prolong the working hours

Method: shorten the night sleeping hours

1. sleep more to maintain a high level of efficiency

Method: add several 15-minute blocks in your timetable for day-sleeping

Sleeping hours

= 5 hours (night) + 8 x 15 minutes (day)

= 7 hours

Understand?

CCL: OK.

本體現象意識

你可以想像一下,現世以後的世界有多神奇。我相信一個人過身以後,會以另一種形式、另一種意識存在。

可能所謂的「終後世界」,根本就是我們在生時的物理世界。只不過是我們的意識改變了,我們對同一個客觀世界的主觀知覺有所改變,令到我們感受得到一些在物理世界原本存在,但是生時感受不到的東西。

這只是猜測,不宜過分認真。

Memento 3 E

電腦輪迴觀 3 E

Reincarnation is a process of “Memento”.

If reincarnation does exist, the cause of most people do not know the meaning of life is that they have forgotten what has happened before their current lives.

Studying history is a good way to reduce this problem.

Memento 2

Physics and Love 2

.

What can you take when you die?

Your Love and your Physics.

.

1. Do recite the important parts so that you can keep your research after this life.

2. Write as much and as good as I can so that I can save the materials in humanity so that I can get them back when I come back.
