Well.....

I recently realized something. Once, I was asked, "Do you have a diary?" I said, "No." Now I realize that this blog has become something of a diary. I think here, and I throw my feelings here. Anyway.

Here is a question that I asked some intelligent people, and I would now like to pose it to you guys to see if the responses would be the same.

Let us assume that complete transparency is physically possible. Also assume that light reaches every corner of the universe. If everything is infinitely transparent, and we looked, what would we see? To help understand the question, when we look through a transparent surface, we see what's behind it. In this sense, what is "behind" the universe?

This is rather an interesting question, for one must assume that the universe is not everything. If the universe is not everything then, what lies beyond? Is it an abyss then? One guy mentioned that this question refers to the Physical Plane. Perhaps then, what lies beyond that universe is the Mental or Spiritual Plane? For surely, sight is pointless in these planes. Would we even "see" anything in these planes? Although the universe may seem large, this is but one of the many planes of existence, the physical plane. Therefore, looking into universe is but a small portion of the infinity of existence. What would be in the other planes? The physical plane is experienced through our 5 senses. Naturally this must mean that the Mental Plane is experienced by our mind, and the Spiritual Plane is experienced through our spirit. Experiencing something through our mind, as we know it, is thinking. However, all our thinking is based on our perception. For example, one can think of running. This, then, is based on our perception. What the person sees when he imagines himself running, what he feels, what he smells. Even when thinking verbally, such as in writing an essay, or solving a maths problem, this is based on our sight of words that we have imprinted into our memory.

Thinking then, cannot be the mental plane of existence. So what is? And finally, what is the spiritual plane of existence? How does one experience through the spirit? The spirit's experiences cannot be emotions, for these come from thinking and the physical body. Does the spirit experience at all?

Those are a heck lot of questions for 1 post. Answer them.

Hunger.....

Extremely hungry now. Time is 8.09pm and the last thing i ate was two packets of maggi mee around 11.00am.......Trying to occupy myself so I don't think about the hunger. Movie is loading really slowly. Hunger isn't always a bad thing...To quote from Gryllus the Pig, "Hunger is a really good thing if you know it's about to be satisfied." Oh great we're going for dinner now. YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Elephants = IMBA

Today I had a lot of interesting battles. Among them......54 elephants against an army of more than a thousand....


In the picture, it shows 4 troops of elephants. 3 men ride one elephant. The numbers show the men, not the elephants. add the numbers together, divide by 3, 54 elephants. The following chronicles the fight...........

The captain looked to the front. The forest spread out like a sheet over the land, and, as he knew, over the enemy. Scouts had reported a force of about a thousand before he had gone into battle. His men were worried, naturally. 170 men against a thousand? It was pure madness. Or was it?

African elephants were well-known animals of war in the parts they fought in. Each elephant had 3 men, one handler and 2 archers. Elephants were notoriously hard to kill. Whereas the average horse only took 3-4 arrows to kill, the elephant took nearly a hundred. Sharp swords and spears had difficulty piercing the thick hide of the elephant, and few men were brave enough to stand against a charging elephant, weighing at least a tonne, and brandishing 2 long, sharpened tusks. They were the perfect war animal.

The captain only saw 300 men, which meant that about 700 of them were hiding in the forest. Nevertheless, he would mow them down. He had already decided on his course of action. First, he would shoot them until he ran out of arrows, or until they charged. Then, his elephants charged. Simple, but effective. He was to continue on his way after the battle, as the king would not tolerate any delays. He gave the signal to advance, and the elephants moved forward in a huge grey line.

The enemy shifted about in the forest, and he marked their positions in his mind. As he drew within range, he ordered his men to fire upon the spots he had seen enemy in. His men only saw empty space, but fired anyway. The wisdom of his actions came to light as enemy soldiers were revealed upon dying from the numerous arrows.

After only a few minutes of tolerating arrows, the enemy started to advance, the general, a coward as always, hiding behind his battle line. The captain waited for the right moment-----timing was of the essence. Too soon, and his elephants would tire, and the enemy would be able to brace themselves, causing the elephants to lose some of their scariness. Too late, and his elephants would have no momentum upon which to crush the enemy line. His men shifted uneasily as the enemy got closer. The elephants did not. He waited silently. 200 meters. His men looked at him. 150 meters. The elephants trumpeted loudly. 100 meters. The enemy started to sprint. 50 meters. He charged.

As he advanced into battle with his men, the elephants tossing the enemy around like rag dolls, he noted with delight that the enemy were shaking in their boots. The battle was over in minutes. None of his elephants had died, only a few archers. The entire enemy army was dead, save for the few with the wit to run away. Now, to be on his way......
