————- ( Here, I’m going to put a photo of my cat when I find the old film  😀 )

It is easy to say to others “See it in another perspective”

—– in fact I used this phrase a bit too casually and too often.

Here is a very good sample —– How good is because the situation was seen and handled by

[Totally different view point] = in deed, it was made by a cat.

[]

I used to live with, up to 9 cats.   I’ve risen 18 kittens bore out of  my Tom and Queen cats.

(In fact those two were also 6 weeks kittens when they came to my place —– and I didn’t know they become

mature in just over 3 months and became pregnant = and every 4 months the queen cat gave a birth of 3 litters,

hence all together 18 kittens).

[]

As I treated those cats just as another person, (simply I don’t know how to treat them as pets) they had

somewhat same freedom like a man.   Their only restriction limitation was that they happen to be the cats.

(they became more like a dog character —– Who said, cat is the solitary animal  😀 )

(If you behave and live like their big daddy, and take care of them like daddy does, they think you are the

same kin but just got big body, they keep play like Lion’s cab play with a tail of parents Lion. They are

very playful mischievous creatures.   My guess is, neglected left alone cat became solitary sulky cat.  😀

Most of the cat’s owner is believing that be intimate with a cat is hugging them and squeeze them, but cat

hate it  = in the nature, they never being hugged.  I never hug a cat, but they likes parch on the shoulder.)

[]

When I was hand-writing a draft such as for an article go together with photos.  A cat sat on my desk started

to play with a pencil in my hand.   Gazing at the pencil almost captivated by its movement, and rose a hand

and waited the moment to strike.   And as the pencil was keep moving try to hit though, to capture slippery

pencil was not an easy play for him.

[]

Most of you may react  “Hey stop it” and just whack a cat  to chase off the desk.

Or, some of you might think  “Aha silly cat,  mistaking me playing and teasing the cat by moving a pencil”.

In cat’s view, he might have thought “ Oh, my Lord ( me) having a struggle to contain a funny

moving creature.  I should help him to fight against  it” 😀

So, he was offering side support to a battle with the evil pencil.   As he had no animosity toward

the pencil, when I gave the pencil to him, he just examined it to see it is dead, he didn’t do anything further.

If the cat was playing with me, he was making eye contact, but not in this case.

(Some time they do a football with a pencil on the floor and they are very fond of it)

—– of cause it was just a guess and I was not doing any animal behavior research, he just came up to my

desk to see what I’m doing. —– When they need my attention, they knew what to do.

What clear is, even a cat has their own way of thinking but in totally different perspective.

We human should have a bit more flexible thinking proportional to the size of the brain. 😀

[]

Some animal trainer is saying that we need to see the things in their view point, so we need to see the world

from the ground level, looking up though, I’m not telling you to obtain cat’s view.

—– To see the things in different view or perspective in human life. 😀

To start, what we need is [To know how we are imprisoned in our Ego] and egotistic view.

Just feel that the cat is obstructing the writing, is derived from a thought [what I AM doing and its value is

surpassing anything, let alone a cat !] —– is it ?   Who, you are ?

[]

When we need to work together or deal with others, to protect your own interest is one thing, but to have the

job done needs the hands of others as well. = It’s mean, others are also thinking to protect their own interest.

Others might be even more desperate in their own situation. It is necessary to see the situation with other’s

view as well and find the common ground. It is not just a compassion to others, if you deprive others, it will

boomerang to you one day, but this is the Karma.

Karma works in much personal level and quite visibly rational way.

[]

In fact, to deal with others or system is comparatively easy in our life because you can see them and it is not

difficult to see what they are up-to or thinking.

An heaviest difficulty in one’s life is when the person has to face the invisible counterpart, Fate.

The situation involved was too big to asses and the number of people coming into the equation were too many

to consider.  The force acting those complicated situation may not be a kind of economics or politics but the

huge scale dynamism.   It is more likely the dynamism of the Fate = Dharma.

You can’t see the Dharma like a western God, as Dharma has no personified shape or personality =

Character or behavioral tendency. Above all, Dharma has no Ego or Self, hence you can’t exercise inference

like to other human or to negotiate.

[]

If the Dharma has no Ego, you can’t deal with it with your Ego  = Only the way to see it, is you

have to see it without your Ego = See it without your Mind = Mind of No-Mind = Mushin.

It is not a matter to tinker or merely shift your view point.

But, completely abandon any view point (in fact, forget everything first, and empty the mind)

= and expose your whole sensory and your invisible perception = use subconscious hunch

===> wait and see.  = Suddenly you will see the view or scope which is totally free from your

view point. = This is the Answer.  = This is what the Dharma has chosen.

In this way, you can see the situation in much longer term and able to take the measure in much wiser way.

Above all, as you can have much longer perspective, an immediate endurance wouldn’t cause

unnecessary worries as you know the end result will be OK.

This is what we call Peace of Mind.
