No one is born an Asura. Even though he / she was an Asura in her past life(s), still no one is born as an Asura human…… until he / she meets a trigger point in life.
I shall narrate mine here….
This story, as promised, is dedicated to my Goddaughter, Phoebe. Hence, it is written with lots of Love one.
Lets start the story now….
As I have previously given a class on Asura, I would not write much details of it here – later not fair to those who attened my class. Hehe!
When we talk about Asura, laymen / commoners will associate them with keywords like demons, jealous, wrathful, competitive beings, often in conflict with Devas, etc.
Well, I thought of it likewise too. Before 2008, I was practicing Yin practice and nothing concerning Asura even though Yin practice (feng shui) is associated with Asura. However, I had 2 very closed buddies, Tiffany and Venn who were then (already triggered) Asura. Yin practice and Asura were from the same family group – therefore our relationships became very very close.
Tragedies happened in 2008 – I met with an accident leaving me paralysed on bed and wheelchair. I was stuck in the hospital for 9 months. Then, only when one is very down in life (eg. Loses everything, becomes invalid, etc.), one can see who real friends are – i.e. those whom I thought were my closed brothers n sisters – they were the first ones who abandoned me when I was diagnosed as permanent disabled for life.
Whenever I was alone then, I cried n cried n cries again looking at my legs questioning why these happen to me. I was once a successful young man who once thought that I own the world and no one could ever bring me down.
I wanted to walk again very very much. What added salt to my wound was Tiffany visited me and told me the news that Venn passed on while on her journey enroute to find me.
The next “best” thing for me to do back then was to end my life. Luckily I was very fat n clumsy (still is now) – I couldn’t climb over the balcony to end my life.
It was screaming dark. I made a superb daring vow (promise)!
“To the nature of Asura, I am willing to become one of you in exchange for a direction and a guide for me to walk again.”
Well, things don’t end here so easily. I trained hard and must immerse myself in a state of Asura mindfulness until we become one. If my spirit is strong enough, I may survive…. And if not, the process could consume me and that will be my end. I walked in the darkness till the point my shadow dare not follow me. Broke a lot of bones and went through many surgeries till my legs start to move again. I am now able to walk again.
Back to the above where I wrote “When we talk about Asura, laymen / commoners will associate them with keywords like demons, jealous, wrathful, competitive beings, often in conflict with Devas, etc.”
Now that I am one of them (the Asuras), what are my feelings or opinions regarding this above statement. Hehe! I can only say Asura is a minority group. What a majority group writes about a minority group does not reflect truly as they are not writing it in the context of the minority group. It is as if a commercial pilot writing a (life) story of an airforce fighter pilot.
Well that’s my trigger point in life leading me to become an Asura.
However, do not benchmark me or associate me, my behaviour, etc to how an Asura behaves. I do not represent them as I am totally different. If you ever get in touch or meet another fellow Asura, stay away from them
I am wearing a pendant with the word Asura on it and behind it is the word Venn. It is because as long as I am alive, I will always hold on to her “teaching” and “believe in love” so I’m still friendly, very human like (Fat one) and likes to share things especially Yin stories with everyone. Practising the element of love which Venn wanted to when she was alive.
Don’t ever step into darkness – the path that I been through. If you all come and I happen to meet you there, I will kick you away. This does not apply to my 2 cannot-make-it juniors Jess and Sarah. If you both are reading this, please be reminded that I drown you 2 further deep deep down into darkness.
As at for now, this is Fong Chun Cheong, singing the song by Haddaway “What is Love”, signing off.
