The idea is to eliminate as many clutters as possible. All I do is sleep, sweat, write, eat and read.
I should not be concerned with anything else. I must keep on pushing the limit of my potential as a man fully functioning. Everyday I go through the same grind until I develop Personal Mastery.
I think I'll do away with everything else except the 5 essentials. No TraXX, no Dreams of Mirrors. Just me, 247 Continuous and this blog. Continue being a creator. Continue to write and read.
If I can manage to keep my world small, I will eventually reach the pinhole of Mushin No Shin. Then instead o[ut] looking outward, my journey turns inward. If it is true that everything is within us as mentioned by Musashi, then I should *[m]e able to sustain myself by exploring the inner landscape of my mind.
* I think I'll do that Sarah. Let me find out what lies beyond the pinhole. What is this unconscious competent is all about. To do that I need 10,000 hours. I need to spend at least 3 years exploring whatever that lies beyond the pinhole.
Let me grind my mind until I come up with the gems and jewels within it. I barely scratch the surface with 2 months of semi isolation. Already it is producing the benefits,
The idea is to find out what is really the makeup of my unconscious competent. What will I uncover underneath the self? I believe I am just at the tip of the iceberg here. What I like to know is what is the something in Nothing.
Already we know that the key to unlock the hidden potential is in subtracting. Now to find out HOW MUCH CAN I KEEP SUBTRACTING until I hit the mother lode. I want to know what is the minimum requirement for me to be healthy and happy.
Already I know I only need AHAD and OMAD. What about my weight? Is 57 kg the minimum? What about money. Will RM100 be sufficient?
At the same time I want to know what is the maximum happiness I can attain by being a minimalist. How many people do I need to interact with in a given day?
What else do I need to forgo? Can I not watch any movie in a year and still be happy about it? Can I do away with Nicorette?
I want to keep shredding my dependency of money and material indulgence.
I guess the best benchmark is how much do I spend in a month.
At the same time I want to minimize interacting with people.
--------------------
The more I think about it the more Buddhist I am becoming. I am beginning to think that wealth is really a constraint rather than a liberator.
The lesser I become the more liberating my life is. This is my genuine feeling about the whole thing. For example the less people I interact with the less I need to spend. The less clouded is my mind.
No wonder Buddha talked about letting go of material possessions.
Definitely I'll cap my purchases from now on.
I think I made a good choice letting go of my relationship with Els. It's not just the relationship. It's the whole value system that she carries with her.
Same thing when I let go of Ameezan, Sashi and Glen. I am forgoing their value systems as well.
That means while I am in isolation, I also need to strengthen my o[]n (own) values. It's not just sitting idle.
While I am in isolation I will continue to reinforce Sharudin Seven, Primal Blueprint 10 Laws and Musashi's 9 Precepts.
-------------------
I want to sleep an hour early tonight. I want to knockoff at 10:00 pm.
OK Sarah, here is your lullaby:
In the end I might let go of everything and own nothing.
Goodnight baby...
