The Ultimate Listening - Everybody Wants to be Heard, But Few Are Actually Listening
Ultimate Listening - A Call To Arms
I can hear you, but I may not
listen to you. Likewise, you can hear me, but you may not listen to me. The
premise is this: listening and learning are not the same thing. Listening
matters when it comes to learning and concentration.
Listening cultivates wisdom and removes ignorance. It is like a torch that dispels ignorance. If you enrich your mental continuum by listening, on one can steal that wealth. It is the supreme wealth.
On listening, The Dalai Lama said that:
I am talking to you and you are listening to me. We are
generally under the impression that there is a speaker and an audience and
there is a sound of words being spoken. But if I search within myself, I will
not find the words and if you search yourselves you will not find them either
--- they are all void like empty space. Yet they are not completely
non-existent. This paradox relates to the dual nature of truth.
Similarly, J. Krishnamurti has this to say o the silent mind,
the listening mind:
Go into it. It means knowledge is time. If you are using
knowledge as a means of advancement, you are caught in time and therefore fear,
anxiety, and the whole process goes on. To enquire into the nature of the
ending of time requires a silent mind, a mind that is free to observe, not
frightened, free to observe the movement of time in yourself, how you depend on
it.
On learning, learning is like a passing wind.
I hear … and I forget
I see … and I
remember
I do … and I
understand
A Chinese proverb
So we forget something, say the recent stimuli, because of
our limited brainpower. Of course, there are other factors influencing our
perception. Some people say we have our historical records of reinforcement,
negatively or positively.
We have both bad memories and pleasant memories. We all want
to get rid of the bad ones, and keep the more desirable ones to cherish until
the last breath.
Life is just like that. It’s part of a bigger canvas.
Communication Technology Shines on Us as the Blessing Light
Communication Technology Shines on Us as the Blessing Light
Janpha Thadphoothon
I decided to title my blog "Communication Technology Shines on Us Bring Us Needed Lights", as I have meditated and found some / no, many useful bits of the communication technological applications such as smartphones and the Internet. Some folks may say that they have lost their private lives and so on and so for. The undeniable truth is that the lights those technologies offer us outweigh any shortcoming they have had.
We should bear in mind that humans are far from perfect as species and conscious beings. Some are criminals and many are motivated by self-interests and primordial instincts alone. Freedom of expression and communication technologies often safeguard our civility and noble humanity.
Some argue that we have had too much communication. Too many texts and fake news and rumor. This, on reflection, is better than little or no communication, living in the dark.
Darkness is not just a metaphor, it is also a reality. The direction of human civilization has been from darkness to light, from salvage to cultured.

Why 'Academic Acclimatization' Matters
Why 'Academic Acclimatization' Matters
Janpha Thadphoothon
Every organism is capable of adjusting itself to the new environment. Time to get used to something new or things we used to do well. Yes, we need to get ourselves acquainted with the new situation. A bit like taking a shower on a cold day. You should not jump right to the water.
We need to get used to the new situation. Like meeting someone. If you get or become acquainted with someone that you do not know, you talk to each other or do something together so that you get to know each other. You can also say that two people get or become acquainted.
Reading or doing intellectual challenging tasks is a way to get acquainted with each other and with the academic world. In other words, we need to acclimatize ourselves to the new normal. Athletes recognize the need to warm up before the big day.
Acclimatization is the process in which an individual organism adjusts to a change in its environment. we can think of changes in altitude, temperature, humidity, photoperiod, or pH). When we have to deal with those situations, we need to get ourselves into the situation, stepping slowly into the rhythm of the context.
We can notice lives in nature. We will notice that trees abandon their leaves prior to the coming of snow. Birds migrate south. They do so to maintain performance across a range of environmental conditions.
In the academic world, like schools and colleges, we cannot simply ask the students or pupils to return to schools to study - humans are not machines.
The process of acclimatization varies. it can be in a short period of time (hours to weeks) and within the organism's lifetime.
Before we start or restart something, we need to do a warm-up. After all, it is our preparedness that makes us accurately perceive how good or bad a situation is.
Because, as they say, “Well begun is half-done.”
