超越思考 之三
【原文】：
“The wisdom of this world is folly with God,” says the Bible. What is the wisdom of this world? The movement of thought, and meaning that is defined exclusively by thought.
Thinking isolates a situation or event and calls it good or bad, as if it had a separate existence. Through excessive reliance on thinking, reality becomes fragmented. This fragmentation is an illusion, but it seems very real while you are trapped in it. And yet the universe is an indivisible whole in which all things are interconnected, in which nothing exists in isolation. The deeper interconnectedness of all things and events implies that the mental labels of “good” and “bad” are ultimately illusory. They always imply a limited perspective and so are true only relatively and temporarily.
There are no random events, nor are the events or things that exist by and for themselves, in isolation. The atoms that makeup your body were once forged inside stars, and the causes of even the smallest event are virtually infinite and connected with the whole in incomprehensible ways.
If you wanted to trace back the cause of any event, you would have to go back all the way to the beginning of creation. The cosmos is not chaotic. The very word cosmos means order. But this is not an order the human mind can ever comprehend, although it can sometimes glimpse it.
【译文】：
圣经有言：“人世的智慧，在神看来是愚拙”①。人世的智慧又是什么呢？是思想的演变以及由思想判定的价值观。
思考通常将情境或者事件孤立起来并定义其是好坏，就好象这些事情原本就是互相独立的。若对思考过度依赖，现实在人们眼中就会断裂破碎。尽管这断裂只是幻象，但若深陷其中便无法察觉，你会觉得它相当真实。然而，宇宙是一个不可分割的整体，其中所有的事物都是互相关联的，独立的事物并不存在。事物之间的深度关联也意味着主观的“好”与“坏”的标签最终也是幻象。这些标签通常来自具有局限性的观点，因而只能在特定时刻相对为真。
事件不是随机发生的，完全孤立的事情也不存在。构成你身体的原子说不定曾经属于天上的星星。最微不足道的事件也有着无穷多的原因，且与宇宙整体以人类无法理解的方式相联系。
要想回溯任何事件的原因，你将不得不回到创世纪。宇宙并非混沌一片。宇宙(cosmos)一词的字面意义就是秩序(order)。这个秩序永远无法被人的心智所了解，然而我们却时常有机会见识它。
【评论】：
这是不可知论么？这是不可知论。
宇宙如此浩瀚，人的心智不可能穷尽宇宙的奥秘。也许人的心智可以，如果人有足够的时间来做这件事。然而，生命有限，而这世界上的可做的事情又那么多。也许，人类可以靠着世代的努力与积累能对宇宙对世界有更为清晰的了解。不过，随着时间增加，这个世界的知识也在增加吧？就看是增加的速度快还是我们发掘的速度快了。
现在我们得花一点儿时间来感谢我们生而为人了。生而为人拥有心智，借由这一能力，我们能了解一部分宇宙的奥秘，人生的真谛。即便不是全部。谁在乎全部。

Shopping Trip 20100729
2010-07-30Qingyang
CVS trip:The main purpose of my trip to the CVS, is to get the Free after ECB photo book. It’s going to be a gift for my girlfriend. I loaded 28 pics in my usb stick the day before and got all the coupons and shopping list ready. Then I called my friend MiaoMiao to join me.
It’s my first time to use the print centre computer. It’s easy enough for me to use. I asked the staff to help me out just to save time, the lady are very nice to offer the help. The printing process was not very smooth I had to say. First, they did not find my order on their machine. When I was in the process of recreate my photo book and almost done, they said they find my order. Then the machine started printing and then the lady told me the book was not in the correct size. For God sake I double checked the size before I made my order cause I do not want to accidentally chose the ones that were not on sale. So the lady wanted my to recreate my photo book. So I started over again. While I was doing it, the lady reached me again saying the photo book is in correct size, so I did not need to do it again. She apologized. I was in a good mood while doing all these, and of course I accepted her apology.
And I like the photo book I made. It’s going to be a perfect gift for my girlfriend when she is back the week after this. One more thing, my friend also got an CVS card.
Here is the summary of my CVS trip:
Made two transactions:
Bought $19 + $16 = $35 worth stuff;
Used $15 ECB and a $3 off $15 coupon;
Paid out of pocket: $12.11+$5.06=$17.17
Left with $14 ECB;
And will submit two MIR for a total refund of $25.
CVS trip summary: spend $17, get $35 of stuff and will get another $39 back in ECB and rebate.
Rite Aid Trip:
This is my first time to shop in Rite Aid. Not familiar with their programs or the organization of the store. I read from this post that some people really love shopping at Rite Aid, so , I wanted give it a try. It’s also on my way back from CVS. Make a stop is an easy thing to do :). The idea is to get a card and get everything started at Rite Aid. So my friend and I both got a card. I made my purchase basically following the deal recommendations from moneysavingmom.com. Too bad they have the Neiva body wash for men out of stock, that’s the one I really want because I got a coupon for it. I still do not figure out how their rebates work, but I do get some +UP rewards. P.S. One staff knows Chinese, she asked our nationality and then started greeting us in Chinese when I told her we are from Chine. Isn’t it nice to hear someone speak to you in your language! She might only know how to say “How are you” “Thank you” and “you’re welcome”. But still, that showed they really care about you. I did not catch her name, but I will.
Here is a summary:
Bought $25.40 worth of grocery;
Used 4 coupons, saved $8;
Paid $18.7 OOP (plus tax);
Left with $5 of +UP rewards.
Not sure about rebate as of now.
Kroger Trip:
We stopped at Kroger for Milk.
I got a gallon of milk for $1, a dozen of eggs for $1 and eight organic eggs for $1.99. Basically, I got a lot protein for my workout.
The is a happy trip. And many thanks to MiaoMiao for joining me, helping me finding the items I missed and bearing with me to wait so long for the photo book. Hope she found this trip fun too.
Also, don’t forget to enter the “Summer Savings Sweepstakes” at Kroger, you might win some free stuff.

超越思考 之二
【原文】：
The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.
Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral, which always is as it is. There is the situation or the fact, and here are my thoughts about it. Instead of making up stories, stay with the fact. For example, “I am ruined” is a story. It limits you and prevents you from taking effective action. “I have fifty cents in my bank account” is a fact. Facing facts is always empowering. Be aware that what you think, to a large extent, creates the emotions that you feel. See the link between your thinking and your emotions. Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.
【译文】：
造成不幸的主要原因并非外在环境，而是对于这些情境的看法/想法。
留心自己头脑中的想法，把它与情境分离开来。好，一边儿是情境或者事实，另一边儿是我对他们的想法和看法。情境总是中性的，一贯如此①。尊重事实，不要对它用轻下判断②。举例来说：“我这下破产了”是一个判断。它制约并且阻止你采取有效的行动。而“我银行账户还有五毛钱”则是一个事实。直面事实总是会赋予人掌控的力量。你的想法很大程度上则是发情绪反应的原因。领会你的想法与情绪之间的联系：与其成为思想与情绪的造物，不如成为它们背后的觉知。
【心得】：
我们的幸福，取决于我们的心境而不是环境。这种说法并不少见。佛祖就曾说过，我们的用自己的想法创造世界*。仔细想想，这确实是真的。外界条件能影响心境。但是如果心境是积极而强大的，所谓的苛刻的外界条件是不足以引发不幸感的。
为什么要将想法与事实分开呢？这跟他们的变动性有关系：已经发生或者存在的事实是不大会变的了，而我们的想法可以。这就非常有趣了，我们的想法能创造世界，而我们的想法又是可以改变的。因此，不管客观世界如何，在我们的世界里我们是否幸福，完全可以通过改变自己的想法来实现！
要做的这一步，首先就要从自己的想法中跳出来，了解自己的想法。改变想法的第一步是清楚的认识它。
【注释】：
①调整了一下语序。
②Making up story字面意思是“编故事”，从上下文来看，story采用常见意直译并不通顺。Story这个词还有另外一个意思，指“表面现象”。这里making up story的意思其实是给事实穿上一层掩饰的外衣，而这种外衣通常是个人对于真相与事实的（歪曲了的）理解和判断。这里我译成“轻下判断”就是因为这个考虑

超越思考 之一
【原文】
Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
What is arising now is not a new belief system, a new religion, spiritual ideology, or mythology. We are coming to the end not only of mythologies but also of ideologies and belief systems. The change goes deeper than the content of your mind, deeper than your thoughts. In fact, at the heart of the new consciousness lies the transcendence of thought, the newfound ability of rising above thought, of realizing a dimension within yourself that is infinitely more vast than thought.
You then no longer derive your identity, your sense of who you are, from the incessant stream of thinking that in the old consciousness you take to be yourself. What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am.
Who am I then? The one who sees that. The awareness that is prior to thought, the space in which the thought – or the emotion or sense perception – happens.
【译文】
思考
和想法，只占我们全部的意识和完整的存在的微小部分。我们遇到的①并不是什么新的信仰体系，精神观念，宗教，或者神话。我们即将抵达神话的终结，精神观念的中介和信仰体系等等的这一切的终结。这变化来的比你的心智的内容更深入，超越你的思考与想法。事实上，对于思考与想法的超越正是“新意识”的核心。这种新发现的超越能力不仅凌驾于思想之上，还让我们认识到我们自身之中存在着一个比思想更为浩瀚的空间维度。
你无需再从没完没了连绵不绝的“旧意识”的思维枷锁中寻找、感知与确认“你是谁”。“头脑中的声音”并不决定你是谁。唯有认清这一点才得自由。
那么，究竟“我是谁”呢？是时刻关照②着思考发生的觉知与空间。觉知优先于思想。思想以及情绪和感知都在这一空间中进行。
【心得】
人类的一个终极问题，就是探索个体的存在：不停的询问“我是谁”。
如果我们没有理性思考的能力，这个问题恐怕不会被提出。但是试图通过通过理性思考来回答这一问题的努力，往往四处碰壁，一无所获。这是因为我们的思考和想法，是我们的存在的一部分，使我们意识的一部分。通过思考得来的答案，往往很难突破这种限制。我们需要扩大回答这一问题的工作层面，超越思考，甚至超越意识，去认识存在。
作者认为，对于自我的探索并不能通过倾听自己的想法而实现。只有超越思考，把思考置于我们的觉知(awareness )的关注之下才可达成。超越思考的这一维度，被称为“新意识”。
这一段比较难以翻译，主要原因是我自己对“新意识”这个概念不能清晰的把握。需要再多读之后再修改吧。
【注释】：
① What is arising，我译得没有把握。 存疑吧。
② 这里See与aware应该是同义词。

The CVS Game
简介：
CVS，指的是美国的一个连锁药房, 全称好象是 CVS/Pharmarcy。CVS game 是指利用这个药房每周的返券优惠，获取免费商品。
美国的药房除了卖药，基本还会卖各种日用品。日用品的的种类还非常的齐全，规模大抵相当于一个小型超市（类似于国内的屈臣氏）。医药零售行业利润比较大。这些药房为了赚取这部分利润，经常会采用在日用品上低价让利的方式吸引患者到自己这里来拿药。让利的方式是每周选取几种日用品给予返券。这几种优惠日用品中经常会有一款在返券后可以免费获得。之所以称其为game，是因为如果实现做一些计划和计算，你完全可以不花钱或者花很少的钱拿到很多免费商品。这里我不展开说，因为网上有很多更为详细的介绍。这篇文章，我就记录一下我两次去CVS的经历，让各位了解一下这个game怎么玩儿。
准备工作：
玩儿这个game的条件：你人在美国，且住的地方有CVS店铺。如果你所在的地方没有这个店，你可以停止看这篇文章，去别处逛逛了。
留下来的人，你需要去CVS办张卡。办卡是免费的，只需去店里问店员说你要办卡，然后填个表就可以了。卡办好当时就可以用。卡的名字叫做ExtraCare。每次去CVS去玩儿CVS game，必须携带此卡。
OK，准备工作完毕， Game On！
简易攻略：
我第一次去CVS是个周日，赶上一款商品有返券后免费。这款产品价值$7.99，返券$7.99。OK，我出钱只买了这个东西。结帐交钱后（这一步的钱是必须花的，我把这个花出去的真金白银叫作seed），拿到收据。返券呢？就在收据上。收据下方写着Extracare Bucks （江湖人称ECB）， $7.99。这样，我就过了这个game的第一关，得到了我的第一个ECB。（Seed当时就开花结果了）。至此我就回家了。
一周之后的周日，我再次去了CVS。为设么一周之后去？因为CVS的优惠商品，每周会更换一次。这次还有一个商品，正好也是$7.99饭$7.99 ECB。好了，拿目标商品，结帐，用上次得到的ECB付款。ECB花掉了，又免费拿到一个商品。这还没完，在这个收据的后面，赫然又有一张$7.99的的ECB。看到了吧，我买了一个东西，没有花钱，花的是ECB。花了$7.99之后，又得到了一个$7.99。我等于白拿了这个商品。$7.99的seed到此已经长处了两件商品，而我的手头仍有$7.99可以下周接着玩儿。
这是第二关。如此下去，如果下一周还有类似的优惠，我还可以白拿。
游戏分析：
到这里，你可能会说，每周才拿$7.99的东西，有什么好玩儿的啊。我同意，如果这样，连脑子都不用动，算什么game啊。不过我得坦白，我刚才说的是这个游戏的简化玩法。下面我来再加点儿料，爆爆这个游戏的难度。
难度一，返券不可兑换现金。如果第二周的商品不是$7.99返$7.99，而是$5.99返$5.99，如果只拿这个商品且用一张代金券话，你将只拿到这个商品，并获得$5.99的返券。这样1）你的$7.99卷不仅没有勿尽所值，而且2）你的EBC在这次交易之后也缩水了。
难度二，返券有有效期，30天不用就过期。
难度三，优惠商品有购买限制。一般一个人一周只能买一个，因此想要用一个商品滚雪球是不可能的。
这个几个难度一起，完全可能让你在几次之后，ECB缩水至0。问题1）好解决，再拿一个价值$2的东西就行了。可是，如何解决缩水的问题呢？怎么办呢，怎么办呢？解决缩水的问题，这才是乐趣所在！会玩儿这个游戏的人，EBC不但不会缩水，而且还会增加。
秘技：
在说出解决办法之前，我们要明确一下游戏的策略。之前的策略是不花钱拿商品，如果每次都按照这个策略来，每次拿的东西不仅少，几个回合也必定game over。如果我们把游戏策略变成花最少的钱拿最多的东西，换句话说，每次交易省更多的钱，游戏的乐趣就来了。而且，绝对可以持续发展。
这个持续的秘诀就是：使用Coupon。
Coupon这个东西翻译成中文应该就是代金券或者打折券吧。一般是买某个商品可以减XX美元。
据具体的例子吧，我在第一次买东西的时候，在网上找到了那个商品的coupon，可以每个商品可以节省$2。因此，我获得$7.99的seed，只花了$5.99。因此我的第一商品拿到少，不仅仅是免费，而是“倒赚”了$2。 我在第二次买东西的时候，使用了另外一个减$4的coupon。这样，我拿了那个商品，又拿了价值$4刀的另外一个商品B。而商品B是$4返$2的。这样，我用掉了我$7.99返券，拿到了价值$11.99的东西，并且，又拿到了$9.99的ECB。雪球就这样，开始滚起来。Seed就这样开始真正的生长了。
好了，至此，你该明白CVS该怎么玩，怎么滚雪球了吧？哈哈。文章至此，水落石出：要想玩儿好CVS game，有两大要点：一，找Coupon；二，计算最优的coupon和ECB搭配。
CVS game每周一关，因为CVS每周日的时候会更新她的广告商品。
我要告诉你的是，这仍是CVS game的简化玩法。我自己想象了一下，问题还可能更复杂。但是，难度也有个头。我个人认为，每周CVS的广告出来之后，大概需要15分钟就能完成利益最大化的计算。每周花这15分钟练练脑子，不仅能有物质奖励，也是很好的防衰老的办法。
作弊：
同任何Game都可以在网上找到作弊器/金手指一样，如果你不想动脑子，想省时间，网上也有CVS game的金手指攻略帮你解决Coupon的问题和Coupon+ECB的最佳Deal。与那些电脑游戏的作弊器不同，CVS game的攻略并不会降低游戏的趣味性：每个人的玩法还会因为手头的ECB金额和感兴趣的商品不同而变化多端。
作弊神器：http://couponmom.com, 视频教程在此
最后说一点儿，美国有购物税，且这个税款是不能拿coupon和ECB抵的。因此，每次你购物，即便是全是使用ECB结算，也要准备些零钱付税款。
延伸阅读：
How to get coupons for free. (from moneysavingmom.com);
Coupon terms.(from moneysavingmom.com);
How to find weekly deals and coupons （video from couponmom.com）。
其实这个game可以从扩展到任何超市，商店。
最后，各位出来见神人吧。
祝购物愉快。

检测结果出来了
今天收到了血检结果说：
HPL 97 nmoles/mL/min
LPL 13 nmoles/mL/min
化验单的comments 一栏中写道：This is compatible with LPL activity deficiency.
至此，我的病算是正式确诊了: Familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency 引起的 Chylomicronemia syndrome。虽然之前我和mm的分析得出的是同样的结论，但毕竟有化验结果作证据，不是我们的瞎猜了。
LPL activity deficincy意识是脂蛋白酶活性缺乏。缺乏这种酶的结果，简单来说，就是身体无法分解吸收脂肪。无法被分解的脂肪就会在血液里越积越多，造成这一缺陷的主要临床表现是高血脂。而高脂血症经常引发有不明原因的腹痛，无力，甚至引发急性胰腺炎。我几年来多次住院均是急性胰腺炎。
这是一种极其罕见基因缺陷，无法预防或者治愈。只能通过饮食，药物，体育锻炼来使得血脂保持较低的水平，从而避免胰腺炎等症状出现。
不过这也没什么，继续我的健康生活就是了。

帽子 滚烫的跑道 重返健身房 巴西的电话
昨天，在亚马逊上订购的帽子到货了。遮阳帽的作用，一是遮阳，二是挡汗。为了试验一下帽子的效果，我今天特意选择在中午时分出去跑步。Georgia地处美国南方，夏天热得不得了。这两天白天的最高气温都在36摄氏度左右，而我出门时，正好是1点钟，一天中太阳最大感觉最热的时候。热虽热了点儿，但是如果不热没有太阳，那谁又需要遮阳帽呢？
照例，带上水和手机，还有新买的帽子出发了。在太阳底下跑，少不了还要涂上防晒霜。
本来以为，这么热的天不会有人锻炼，结果到了我跑步的Spec Towns Track之后，发现跑到上竟然有两人在练习。一个年轻，一个年老，都在跑道上走着。老者在快步走，年轻的小伙子似乎是刚刚跑完步，通过跑步来Cool down。由于天太热，我省去了通常跑步之前的拉伸，直接上跑道，慢跑开始。
天真热。大太阳在头顶直直的照下来，把跑道被晒的软了，很烫。软和烫，是我的双脚告诉我的。我在跑道上跑步，如果距离不长的话，我就光脚跑全程。如果长距离跑，最后几圈也会光脚。光脚和穿鞋的区别，对我来说就是在不同的路面上跑有不同的感觉。如果穿上鞋，就不会体会到路面的不同了。 我今天在太阳底下光脚跑，感觉自己就是铁板烧上的鱿鱼，被烤得不行。恨不得自己的脚能不沾地才好。只光脚跑了两圈，我赶快又把鞋子穿上了。但是我没有感觉到有太多汗，遮阳帽很管用，把汗都挡住了。另外，它也很轻便，舒服。决定把它留下。
今天跑了16圈，每圈460m，33分钟20秒。
自从上一个星期练习硬拉扭了脖子之后，我很是休息了几天，这一周的力量训练都没有做。长时间不去健身房，浑身还真是不自在，浑身的肌肉都像是在退化似的。在加上我通常是在健身房称体重的，不去健身房，我这一个星期的体重数据就没有了。于是下午5点，我又杀向了健身房。今天锻炼的目标肌肉是背部和肱三头肌。因为周末健身房6点就关门，我没有时间按照计划完成所有的组数。但是我还是每个动作都做了至少两组，50分钟完成锻炼。回来之后感觉很好。
青安全到巴西了。这两天她一有空就给我发邮件，可是我们两个居然没能同时在线，不能聊天。她们这次在当地买了一个手机并把号码给我了。但是这个号码一直到现在好像也没有激活，我打了好多次都没能接通，打过去之后是那种录好的提示音。一个女的唧唧歪歪半天，我也听不懂是啥。估计就是“你所拨打的电话是空号”之类的。可恶的是，听这个叽里呱啦的录音，竟然是按照接通算的。因为这个，我已经花掉了快一美元了。花钱没什么，可是花钱却没有跟青说上话，这可太让人别扭了！希望明天能好。
今天德国战乌拉圭，有一搭没一搭的看了几眼，觉得德国胜在运气好些。明天的决赛，不知道是攻势猛烈的荷兰会不会被西班牙的太极打法给抑制住。拭目以待。
明天是我的LSD run day（LSD run是 Long， Slow， Distance；就是长时间长距离慢跑的意思），还没有想好去哪里跑。也许一觉醒来就有好主意了。
