Raytheon CEO Gregory Hayes: How Ukraine Has Highlighted Gaps in US Defense Technologies 

He is making a healthy earning from the Ukraine war

"I would do it [study UFOs], but before agreeing to do it, we must insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance in the L.A. case, the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination." J. Edgar Hoover-Director of FBI The security guard called and said, “Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn.” We lost between 16-18 ICBMs (nuclear tipped Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) at the same time UFOs were in the area… (A high ranking Air Force officer) said, “Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam." Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program. "A few insiders know the truth...and are studying the bodies that have been discovered." -Dr. Edwin Mitchell Apollo 14..the 6th NASA employee to walk on the Moon. "Maximum security exists concerning the subject of UFOs.” CIA Director, Allen Dulles, 1955. “Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, public statement, 1960. “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” -William Casey, CIA director, 1981 “Yes, there have been ET visitations. There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered. There has been a certain amount of reverse engineering that has allowed some of these craft, or some components, to be duplicated. And there is some group of people that may or may not be associated with government at this point that have this knowledge. They have been attempting to conceal this knowledge. People in high level government have very little, if any, valid information about this. It has been the subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and create confusion so the truth doesn’t come out. ” ― Edgar D. Mitchell, The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds MEANINGFUL congressional hearings, ala the Watergate hearings, including aerospace/defense contractors and Vice Admiral Thomas R. Wilson must be held to address a vital issue that transcends politics and we will never properly advance until it happens: The 75+yr ongoing-constitutionally illegal, EXTRATERRESTRIAL cover-up. How can we truly believe anything our elected officials say? The dog n pony shows must cease.

@9:30 video starts. Surly Harvard Business Review could of cropped the video before uploading?

Good evening Professor Adi, and Professor Gregory Hayes. Last Sunday, May 22, a wish, a longing that I thought would never come to pass, happened. My only grandchild, my only grandson, 5 years old Damien Rafael Matuco (Paeng), the only son of my second son Antonio, was returned to us after more than a year of protective separation as a countermeasure against the covid-19 pandemic. In silence, I knelt, opened my altar, and let my tears flow freely before the Gohonzon to offer my heartfelt gratitude and joy. Starting today, I will share with you all my findings in answer to the question I posed to myself long ago as a management and leadership practitioner- How a business entity, like a corporation, can possibly breach the 7,000 year life-span and probably farther. Included in that question is the sub-question as to my view of the rise and fall of corporations, of great empires and civilizations. I will spread these sharing in the various videos of HBR with a comments section. I will also attempt to close loose ends if there are any left. The comments may or may only be vaguely related to the topic the video covers. In that regard I request for your kind indulgence. Also, the sharing may last a week, a month or more than a year. I actually do not know. I will write what I can only recall. I did not pursue the quest, with your approval or anybody in mind. I conducted it for my own satisfaction. Therefore the findings may not agree with what you deeply hold or cherish and the style that it will be delivered may not be to your liking. The syntax and grammar as well may not be perfect, even with the help of AI apps. And I reserve the option to reply or not reply to counter-comments. Thus tolerance and understanding is requested from both sides. That is just fair, since I do not also have control of whether you will delete my sharing or not and when. However, I will try to be as respectful and mindful of our cultural and philosophical differences. The first of these sharings will start with my view and classification of corporations, of nations and civilizations (those that I am familiar with). Why HBR and why will I start in the video related to the Military Industrial Complex perplexes me as well. But if a philosophy must transcend the times to help all, it must be inclusive. And this inclusiveness must unconditionally include even the Military Industrial Complex. In closing, respectfully what happens next, after this marshmallow, entirely depends on you. Regardless, I will always remain grateful for your tolerance and understanding. I write as my way of saying thanks to the Gohonzon for bringing back to me my precious grandson, to whom, in my circumstances, I can only offer 7 daffodils through a song. Emmanuel Matuco

2023 July 23 Comment - HBR youtube channel- The Art of Persuasion Hasn't Changed in 2,000 Years (Good afternoon Professor Hayes. With your kind indulgence, allow me to comment again. This is an intermission, a segue, before the push to the doctrine of the 10 worlds. The previous post was 2023 July 17 in HBR’s youtube channel- What is Web3?) Words are powerful. At one of its apexes, poetry, words can move hearts to move mountains. Add a melody to it, and words can galvanize a horde, just as national anthems do. Give it a pen and it can create worlds; it can create a past, capture the present in all its gore and glory; and create a scintillating future. Truly words are very powerful. If we go back to poetry and its technical evolution (apologies, its just my “just me” perspective), there are three major schools of poetry. The Japanese Haiku and branches; the European sonnet and its variations; the free verse school of the America’s (most notably for me, Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman), and the free verse of China (most notably for me, the rustic airiness of the works of the Tang Dynasty poet, Tao Qian). Free verse Chinese style straddles several schools. It’s writing (calligraphy) reaches out to the Korean and Japanese schools, while in its smoothly flowing style is reflected also in the American school. Sonnet, is a very disciplined approach regarding its syllables, quatrains, rhyme, etc. Haiku, in a way, is a sonnet taken to an extreme minimalist, bare bones form (17 syllables, and 5x7x5). Why? Probably, in order to powerfully convey and emphasize an image instead of emphasizing its sound (e.g. Basho’s frog leaping into the pond). On the other hand, one could flip the perspective and say, the European sonnet is actually a haiku with a melody. Whatever, words, melodious words, can move hearts that moves mountains. But there’s another evolutionary path of poetry and poets. One that moves not just mountains, but probably major world systems. Coders are poets as well. Their codes, done well, are also poems. But rather than syllables and rhymes, their codes are freed and defined by their syntax. And just as literarure's poetic words create worlds so does a coder’s codes. We are endowed with the creative spirit and that spirit is driving us to “create”. To be a “creator”. Every fiber of our being is driven towards that goal- to create. To create what? To create life. To create value. But enough for now. Let us relax before the push. Please allow me to share a recent work of mine. It is an attempt to combine all the schools of poetry, story, essay, into one. (Please see the intermezzo poem posted above, as the continuation of this comment). Respectfully yours.... Emmanuel Matuco

Harvard Business Review, could your editors please add time stamps for your videos? It’s way better to navigate a video if it has chapters, especially when you can’t watch the whole video in one sitting.

2024 April 25- Final answer to the Next Season Post- Why that smile? (Summary- Psychological Profile of the Daimyo Yabushige) All his life Yabushige dreamt of "walking" in that stratified plane, only the likes of a Toranaga or a Nobunaga can attain. "What does it take to get there? How do people belonging in that plane think?" Try as he might, their "entirety" remained inscrutable to him. Always at a distance beyond one's intellectual grasp. Like there is a solid thick steel door forever closed to him. Though all these years. To Yabushige, that meant he will always be the lesser man. Always a vassal. Never an equal. Still Yabushige risked everything, like it was a lifelong dream. And now, on that edge of life and death, when the agonizing pain dealt by the knife's edge was about to reach its zenith, the solid iron door of that inscrutable plane opened up for him. He can now fully see, the entirety of a Toranaga, and all the other great ones. What they truly are and how to be like them. Yabushige, the once lesser man, through that newfound understanding can see the totality of what was about to unfold in the future. But most important of all, at last, he, Yabushige, is now their equal. Jubilation inside shoved away the pain of the knife. Yabushige smiled at Toranaga. As an equal. Toranaga smiled back respectfully acknowledging Yabushige’s achievement. To honor what his equal, his ally, his enemy, his friend’s feat of finally achieving the impossible, he saw to it the katana blow that cut-off Yabushige’s head was perfect.

10 to 15 years to catch up with Chinese

2022June03- HBR RU-vid Videos Interview- Raytheon CEO Gregory Hayes. Part3 Let us begin. My first serious brush with the question - Can a company last longer than 100 years? - probably occurred when I was working in a shipbuilding company, as one of her 9 GMs (basically COO function). The subsidiary in my country was relatively young, but as a whole, I was told the zaibatsu was substantially old. How old? The firm is generally discreet in its origins. The answers I got were speculative even from the senior expatriates. Probably more than 4 generations or at least 100 years old. And this is for the shipbuilding venture only. From what I was told, the only industries that the zaibatsu was not into, directly or indirectly were the production of airplanes and submarines. Standing alone on one of its dockyards, I watched a tugboat glide smoothly over the calm waters of Tanon Strait like a black swan. The vastness of the sky above, painted orange and gray by the descending dusk made me ask myself - what does this firm have that enabled it to survive and glide over two world wars and several global market crashes? With all due respect, except for a thing or two, I saw nothing so extraordinary here that I haven’t seen somewhere else. And as a student and avid practitioner of business leadership and management, I’ve been around. Rising from rank and file to C-suite. In management teams ranging from Sales and Marketing, Finance, Logistics, and IT. And whose predominant management cultures range from pure Filipino, overseas Chinese or immigrant Spanish, or expat Japanese. In industries as varied as cement, fast food, real estate, and shipbuilding. All number 1’s in their respective industries, local and or global. This was the corporate environment I grew up in. For 23 years. And as rich and enriching as that background is, it was in one of those scenic late afternoons in that dockyard, that I started to grant the question of corporate longevity its desired importance. Perhaps everything is just working so extraordinarily smoothly here in the shipyard, it created an illusion, that everything is just ordinary. Like you’re standing in the North American great plains and all you see is a vast sea of plain tall grasses while missing the extraordinary eco-system those tall prairie grasses created to survive and evolve for tens of thousands of years. Anyhow, and back to my question - what should a for-profit company have that can enable her to breach the 100 years, or 1,000 years, or even last 7,000 years of the remaining years of the evil age called Mappo or the Latter Day of the Law? Was this question re corporate longevity asked before? By whom? When? Where? What was the answer?

Why did HBR give a weapons salesman this platform to promote his wares?

2022June03- HBR RU-vid Videos Interview- Raytheon CEO Gregory Hayes. Part5 Those summoned were definitely the best of the intellectual best. Although there were no technological universities at that time, (spears and axes were still used on battlefields), the men who were gathered can seemingly put to memory and recall 24 gigabytes worth of books or approximately 80,000 teachings. If one of those summoned was a lawyer for hire in my country today, with that kind of memory muscle, he probably memorized by heart already the entire legal civil code, rules of court, and decided lower court and supreme court cases, etc. How formidable a legal opponent can that lawyer be? And what if he/she was a computer hacker? Or a bio-chemist? Or a nuclear physicist? Definitely, of course, humankind will get to that level of memory. But that was not what intrigued me in connection to the question of corporate longevity. What intrigued me was it was a religious gathering. Those that gathered were monks, not scientists. They have to beg for food, so they could eat. They were probably using candles or torches instead of LED light bulbs during their dialogues. Yet they were hinting at the laws of physics and gravitational laws being played with as if those were mere child’s playthings. Ordinary like a tugboat that glides like a swan on a choppy sea. Easy. The doctrine is the “6 difficult and 9 easy acts.” There was another doctrine, that taken together with it, gave me a clue about corporate longevity.

Hahah no one wins in war. I’d say banks and arms dealers do.

2023 November 29- Special Comment3 of 3- Baseball, Empires, World Peace- HBR RU-vid channel: The Explainer- How Apple is Organized for Innovation- Leadership Let’s stay inside the track of “whole world empire, single-leader” model. You know, I kinda buy that. One global unified army. Only payroll department. It’s a gigantic bureaucracy nightmare, but at least, a united armed force. Turf fights occur e.g. between a Navy Admiral versus Air Force General or Army Chief. But basically more like Machiavelli (knives or poison) than large mobilizations ala Clausewitz or Sun Tzu. Civilian casualties very minimal. Corruption maybe, but no global conflagration. So yeah, I get it. Question: Even if this whole world empire materializes, what about the “beast” innate in all men? Here’s my take: If the “beast” innate in every man growls, LET IT. Let this killing urge, this vengeance-is-mine Count of Monte Cristo urge or whatever shake our moral cage. And if their numbers reach battalion numbers, well…. the merrier the better. It’s a festival of beasts. Let these “beasts”, fight it out, to their heart’s content. Let them gouge each others eyes. BUT… there is a “but”, they do it in a designated private place, privately. If you just want to kill, why make it a show? And here’s one more rule. We want to minimize casualties even among beasts. So in that arena, no weapons. just bare naked bodies. Angry wolves don’t wear kevlars or wield machetes, why should they? Fight with your bare bodies, bare hands. Eventually, they’ll exhaust themselves, as wolves exhaust themselves. Now if individuals, clerics, writers, or even nation-state leaders, preach violence to resolve issues instead of dialogue, THEN… let them be the first to enter the arena, mano-a-mano. By all means let them walk their talk. In a perverted way, let them lead violence by example so to speak. Let their evil bravura glow malevolently in their nakedness. My point, if “beasts” demand an arena, let’s build it. Outside Earth. On the far side of the Moon. Earth is for human beings. We will learn the way of beast, so we can help them be not beasts eventually, but we will not cultivate the way of the beasts in our children. Let us give our children of the world a peaceful future. Question: Going back, what’s the link between Jeremy (baseball homerun hero), Global Empire and and World Peace? Peace because “all are under heaven”. I get it. Jeremy metaphorically represented humanity. Dreams, strengths and shortcomings. But what all the Jeremy’s (representing nation-state leaders) didn’t get, is that we got our home run. We got our global empire. It’s called The United Nations. Now here’s the catch. To avoid the mistakes of a single-leader global empire model (remember Alexander the Great), our United Nations empire was structured to be governed by Councils. Not by a single-nation leader. But it seems, each of the powerful members of this council still thinks he’s “Jeremy, the lumbering 240 pound batter, who didn’t realize he hit a homerun (the achievement of a United Nations benevolent empire). That’s why the “Jeremy’s” stumble… fall… and frantically crawls back to first base (the failed single leader global empire model). Anyway we got the first part right. United Nations. Let’s work to make it function right. “Many in body, one in mind”. Now, it’s still doing the opposite. “Many in body, many in mind”. We’re almost there. What about the “beast” in all of us? Does it really want to kill or it just wants to compete? It is about “competition”. President Tsunesaburo Makiguchi rightly tracked its evolutionary path. From military competition, to ideological or philosophical competition, to economic competition, humankind competes. Single amoebas, emerging millions of years ago, the precursor of human life, never dreamt of nuking the planet. It just wants to live and enjoy Earth. (see Netflix Life series). Since our “beasts” is still evolving, then we should make it veer towards humanitarian competition. Why? Guided, united, the competitive energy innate in us could help us go interstellar. Other civilizations got there. They can’t reach interstellar without unity. Logic dictates existential technology in a divided planet, in the wrong hands eventually obliterates that planet. Proof is our dire climate situation now. Why did the single-great-leader model fail? Is a human being wired to fail? No, we’re not. Sakyamuni broke through and achieved Buddhahood. Nichiren Daishonin broke through. Many did. In fact, 80 million nayutas of Buddhas attended the Ceremony in the Air, and swore to re-emerge in our time called Mappo, as Bodhisattvas of the Earth. They are either here now or before us, as a compassionate Muslims, as compassionate Christians, as compassionate Jews, as compassionate Atheists, all genders and denominations too many to mention. But we have to unite. Many in body, one in mind. Nichiren Daishonin, in his treatise The Opening of the Eyes gave an answer as to how great civilizations led by their leaders rise and fall. The three virtues approach. The virtue of Sovereign (to protect), the virtue of Parent (to nurture), the virtue of Teacher (to educate and guide). Previous empires, emperors crumble, because each (leader or their organizations) could only manifest one or two virtues. And not even sustain the practice. Alone, without the help of like-minded companions they fail. United, together, we could achieve breakthroughs. Each could become the most compassionate person one could ever be. Why will the practice of the three virtues bring out the best in us? Because the practice of the three virtues, regardless of one’s faith, color, race or creed, for oneself and for others, are what enables one to become a Buddha, just as we are, in this lifetime. So now… we’ve got the first part of the model right. One global empire. The United Nations Empire. The next part is tricky. One purchasing department for us all to “compete” for. What say you, Professor Hayes, Professor Gates, HBR, Google?

After all war is good for business.

Agreed the phishing attacks are atrocious.

2023 November 25- Comment Part5E3a- Anger3a- HBR RU-vid channel: The Explainer- How Apple is Organized for Innovation- The Functional Organization. (Disclaimer: Tracer: Previous comments re the Ten (10) Worlds- Hell, Hunger, Animality- is in HBR-The Explainer: How to Build Your Emotional Agility. This comment is about the life-state of Anger. The comments are my personal commentaries. They’re not the official position approved by the organizations that I am part of). Objective: In this series of comments we will do our best to provide answers to the questions: What is the life-condition of Anger? Why does Anger straddle between the four evil paths (Hell, Hunger, Animality) and the three good paths- (Anger, Humanity, Joy)? In the Age of AI why does the Doctrine of the 10 Worlds and Ichinen Sanzen matter? Question: What is the World of Anger or the Life-condition of Anger? Anger (Japanese= shura), derives from the Sanskrit term, “asura”. As researched, the term Ashura, in Ancient Indian mythology, initially refers to deities that were originally considered as benevolent. Over time, the term evolved, referring eventually to contentious demons who ceaselessly fight with the gods. An Ashura’s sense of self assumes gigantic proportions: “An Ashura stands 84,000 yojana in height, and the waters of the four oceans come no higher than his knees (source: Nichikan Shonin, Sanju hidden Sho, The Threefold Secret Teaching). That image, especially about 84,000 yojanas, and where the “four oceans come no higher than his knees” projects towering sense of superiority. 84,000 yojana, (1 yojana = 4-9 miles) or 756,000 miles is greater than the equatorial circumference of the earth (approximately 24,900 miles). No wonder, ancient Indian Mythology describes ashuras as contentious deities battling the gods. Deities so ambitious they think they are gods. My understanding, is that rather than relying on mere text to convey the teachings, Buddhist texts tend to liberally and creatively use very vivid visual imagery to capture and explain principles and complex concepts concisely and economically. Perhaps, the lack of paper at that time, the preference for memorization, where imagery is a vital component, explains this approach. Going back to our topic of the life-condition of Anger, Nichiren Daishonin used the word “perversity” to characterized it. A perverse mind is a mind that is fawning and crooked. Why? They have a life-tendency to compare themselves with others. They considered themselves superior (remember the 84,000 yojana image) and therefore are consumed by arrogance and contempt towards the person they feel is inferior. On the other hand, if they found themselves inferior, they tend to fawn and flatter the one who is superior. It’s a pretense. Deep inside, they are envious of and resent that superior person, though they try their best now to show it. Thus, the word “perverse”. For a more nuance explanation, please visit (www.sgi-usa.org/2022/08/11/the-ten-worlds/). At the core of this state of life of Anger is arrogance. An attachment to an illusion of superiority (waters of the four oceans combined cannot even reach its knees). That oneself is not just noble but nobler. Not just humble but humbler. And they direct all their energies to sustain this false image of superiority, while meticulously hiding their arrogance and their contempt for others whom they deemed inferior. If necessary, resorting to fawning and/or flattery. But at their core, they are arrogant, contemptuous, envious, and resentful. A perverse heart. The Great Teacher T’ien-t’ai of Ancient Tang Dynasty China, in his book titled Maka Shikan (Great Concentration and Insight) describes the world of Anger: “Since those in the world of Anger desire in every instance to be superior to every one else, and cannot bear to be inferior to anyone, they belittle and despise others and exalt themselves, like a hawk flying high looking down on the world. At the same time, outwardly, they seek to display the virtues of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and fidelity. While manifesting a mind of minor good, they follow the path of Anger. (Gosho Zenshu, p430) They suffer from the fear of being exposed for what they really are. Therefore, persons in the World of Anger will enormous will and power to hide their true selves from others. This fear of “exposure” was aptly captured by a passage, written by Nichiren Daishonin, in the Gosho, Letter From Sado: “An arrogant man will be overcome with fear, when he meets a strong enemy, just like the haughty Ashura who shrank and hid himself in a Lotus flower blossoming in Munetchi Lake when reproached by Taishaku (Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol1, p35). This fear of exposure also spawns an intense desire to appear to be good. But there is really no real desire to be truly good. Their “goodness” is just a pretense. This feeling of superiority also explains why they (a) resist learning from others. Such notion is beneath them (b) or doing an honest self-reflection for the purpose of self-improvement. One’s refusal to have an honest self-reflection stems from a towering feeling of self-importance. And one’s refusal to learn from others, stems from arrogance. These two, self-importance and arrogance, elevates the person in the World of Anger to a “plane of happiness”. But they know this “happiness” is fragile. An illusion. Once exposed, the illusion of happiness disintegrates. And that is when the flames of Anger flares out to destroy. Thus wars occur. I have a theory. When one’s actions runs contrary to one’s fundamental self - Buddhahood; or are not in harmony with one’s fundamental self, real suffering ensues. Perhaps it is not immediately felt, but it eats you, consumes you, and destroys you eventually. That is what reportedly happened to Devadatta. Devadatta was envious of Sakyamuni. If envy is a perverse form of praise, Devadatta felt it excruciatingly. Envy stems from a lack of self-confidence. A disbelief that one can still grow further. Or the disbelief that another can continuously grow, while one’s growth seem to flatline. This lack of sef-confidence led to resentment. He resented his cousin for the continuously growing respect, love and support the people, and the community of fellow monks accord Sakyamuni. Devadatta, in his desire to make others see him as better than his cousin Sakyamuni, reportedly practiced more severe austerities. But people cannot be deceived forever. That is why he lost. He started his campaign to win others from a platform of Anger. From a platform of envy, of resentment, of refusing to self-reflect for self-improvement. From a platform of arrogance. People saw through his façade. Devadatta’s true feelings were exposed. It became his downfall. (To be continued in the next comment posted above this)

crypto everything is the future

2022June03- HBR RU-vid Videos Interview- Raytheon CEO Gregory Hayes. Part4 Today, June 03 is my 60th birthday. The first half of my life is over. Looking back, my endeavors there were characterized by the desire to answer the question - can I rise above the station I was seemingly fated? That question, the desire it spawned, gave energy and meaning to me. The quest and the journey enriched my life in so many ways. In this second half - what question, what answer should I pursue that could generate the energy that’s equally stronger or a life that is even more fulfilling than what has passed by? In the search for that life-generating question, perhaps the question of corporate longevity is a good place to start. Yes? About 3000 years ago, a select group of intellectuals was summoned. They’ve “heard” the answer. No, it was not about the question of corporate longevity. They gathered to preserve for future generations, the answer to the quest for a roadmap, the quest for the key to lasting happiness. Intriguingly, two of the foundational doctrines related to that roadmap this council preserved, hinted at an insanely advanced level of technology. How advance? The first doctrine hinted, that at the touch of probably a button by one’s toe, an entire major world system can be moved to another quarter. Assuming, our solar system is a major world system, can you imagine moving this group of planets, moons, and sun by an inch? Much more a quarter? What laws of energy and gravity were mastered? The earth alone is spinning 1,000 miles per hour. Any slight increase or decrease in the percentage of that spin can spell planetary extinction of all species. How much more moving an entire world system, planets, moons, sun, and all that? It took humankind almost 3,000 years to position a man to place his toe on the moon’s surface. Definitely of course we’ll get to that level of insanely advanced technology discussed above. I have no doubts about that. But that was not what intrigued me in connection to the question of corporate longevity.

2023 November 17- Comment Part5E1- Anger- HBR youtube channel: The Explainer- How Apple is Organized for Innovation- The Functional Organization. (Tracer: Previous comments re the Ten (10) Worlds- Hell, Hunger, Animality- is in HBR-The Explainer: How to Build Your Emotional Agility. This comment is about the life-state of Anger. Please note, the succeeding comments are my personal commentaries of what I’ve learned. Not the official position approved by the organization that I am part of) Personal commentary starts. The sharing of the Life Condition of “Anger” can probably be at least in 3 Parts (E1-E2-E3). This is the first part. E1. Context. Bird’s Eyeview: In this Part5E1, we will witness “Anger”. If Einstein is fond of “thought experiments”, let’s do a variation of it. To explain my understanding of the nature of “Anger” please allow me to use a “story experiment”. We are observers of this life-condition as it awakened and occurred between two fictitious characters, namely GG and Senior Sentinel TyMeo, in one of their early dawn conversations. In Part5E2- please allow me to dissect the nature of Anger using this “story experiment”). (Part5E1- The Story Experiment Begins) Senior Sentinel TyMeo (pronounced Ty as in “tie” and Meo as in “Romeo”) talking to GG. They were standing on the balcony. With a clear view of the dark horizon. They were talking about the war that newly erupted. GG: Do all the players involved in this “disaster”, occuring in one of the key birthplaces of the axial philosophies, claim, their actions represent the true spirit of their belief systems? We were just about to talk about the relationship of the 4th lower life condition (Anger) to wars. Then it occurred. How should one proceed? TyMeo: Global tragic events, specifically the war that newly erupted in the birthplace of the axial philosophies, have gotten ahead of your sharing of the life-condition of Anger (roots of war). When the example preceded the discussion of the principle, and the bitter taste of the suffering and misery of the ordinary people are at its height, it is understandable if one is at a loss as to how to proceed. GG: Thank you for your kind thoughts. If there is the slightest risk that one’s words will be used to aggravate the suffering or expand it, then one must step back. Let the smoke of emotions settle first. At emotions height, the gates of reason is closed. It is with that in mind, that pursuing the discussion of the life condition of Anger within this war-torn context, would seem to be pouring more gasoline on an already raging fire. But on the other hand, skipping it, or postponing it indefinitely or stalling till the conditions are ripe, I feel, is also utterly cowardly. It is a socially ethical pickle. What would happen to the mission that says “spread it widely, and never allow its flow to cease”? Stopping, stalling, discontinuing, might just be what “our own lower worlds” wanted. Probably the war was meant to stop the discussion of the foundational 10 worlds. To used it to prevent exposing the true nature of the four (4) lower worlds. Discontinuing the sharing might even also be playing to our fears. Is it the right time? Are we the right person? Yet continuing the sharing, without acknowledging the sufferings of war, or not giving it a respectful space, might also be the kind of “indifference” our ego will indulge in and lead us into. It is a personal psychological pickle. TyMeo: But what about their birth rights? The mission comes first. It is fruitless to be imprisoned in fears no matter how valid. Fears, harnessed properly, energizes. It is not the fear that is the enemy then. It is the absence of wisdom, of where or how we should direct the awakened energy to productive and constructive paths. Yes, these “wars” sure did derail the journey. But for whatever its worth as well, the effects caused by these “wars”, both within and without, only strengthened our resolve to continue the path to peace. GG: Still, why do these “few” people claim that in their belief systems, “war” is the best way to resolve matters? And also isn’t there a world-security body created to stop “wars” immediately so people’s suffering will end? For once, if this world security body can’t strategically re-guide misguided belief systems immediately, why don’t they tactically hold their “security meetings” in the middle of this war? Why don’t they make it a policy to hold all their security meetings in the very ground-zero of any war, present or future, and never stop holding it there, until that very war they were meant to stop, stops? If they are afraid to be tormented by the very fear the victims of war fears, if they are afraid to suffer the very same suffering the victims of war suffers, then what good is that world-security body for? Surely if they are very powerful as they claimed to be, surely all protagonists and antagonist will pause in their actions. Or risks being branded as terrorists or at worse being destroyed by their collective wraths if something happened to anyone of this so-called powerful security body members in those meetings held in the war-zone. You know, the problem is, the “powerful security bodies” have been so far away and physically insulated from the real “battlefield” of suffering of people (war victims), for sooo long, distance “numbed” them to that suffering. They seemingly lost their connection to their mission and the very people they were supposed to protect, nurture and teach. Their practice of their political belief systems strayed so far away from the true practice of the 3 virtues (Sovereign- protect; Parent-nurture; Teacher-educate). And that’s why the world is in decline. I sincerely apologized for my impolite outburst, but I will not apologize for the rationale behind my bitterness. Why can’t this world-security body do the job that they so politically insist they, and only they, five(5) of them to be exact, can do? Aren’t they the only ones with the resources to end the suffering and misery that wars exact on ordinary people? Why? Tymeo: Get hold of yourself!! Yes you are hurting. We are all hurting. All of us are suffering. You’ve been through a war yourself. You know it’s not that easy to stop one. So as impolite as your question may come across, I understand these tragic events beg for that question to be asked by you. But that question should lead you to more constructive, compassionate and collaborative solutions. It should propel you towards actionable suggestions. Not fan the flames.

(Comment 2023July 23. HBR’s youtube channel- The Art of Persuasion Hasn't Changed in 2,000 Years) Poem written 2023June30 by Emmanuel Matuco) A Journey of Kosen-rufu with Sensei Ikeda Towards 2030 Part1- Dark Beginnings Pale red moon. Pitch black night. Cricket’s chirping Are they happy… or crying? There’s an insurmountably high mountain, engulfing my view. It’s so high and pitch black. Engulfing my life. The darkest of the dark. Blood red, the reddish of the red The colors of hopelessness and despair rises like a veil shrouding my days and nights in Agdao, Davao at the height of 1970’s darkest years. Every so often I’m awakened by a staccato of gunfire. “Who could they be chasing this time?” “Who was firing back?” “Who is killing who?” The gnarled slimy rough claws of fear squeezes my heart tightly I knew my mother was awake and silently praying I knew my father was awake and silently hoping I knew my brothers were awake. We’re all awake. All the neighborhood was awake. Listening. Waiting. All deathly silent. Even the dogs were eerily silent. Too afraid to bark, less the gunfire comes back. And as suddenly as it erupted, the echo of running gunfire, gradually faded into the night. Peaceful sleep amidst it is a daily wish. I longed for those peaceful days in the farm of my uncle when I, as a small happy boy, was sitting on a boulder by the river, watching my brothers and cousins frolicked noisily, watching them, a ripe guava in my hand, I munched contentedly. And as I looked up, the clouds above, like so many white brooms, sweep lazily the pure blue peaceful sky. And this peaceful courtyard in the heavens above, is inside a circular frame made up of swaying green coconut and brown green star-apple trees Trees that protectively surrounded us, standing tall and stoic lined up in both banks of the flowing green river in the middle. That’s gone. The peacefulness of that memory is dead. Part 2- Dawn Dead wood Brought back to life bouncing by a restless sea. And then I heard, Nam myoho-renge-kyo At the university, a teacher, a companion, a friend of so long ago, came by, and reminded me who I am. Reminded me of the vows I’ve taken in the remote past. Light emerged and started to dance. And then the light is dancing and defining the ragged edges of that supposedly insurmountable mountain Now, through the illuminated sky, I can see the mountain top. It seemed so high. It looms up threateningly at the onlooker. But it’s not unconquerable anymore. The light made it so. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Oh, it's just an ordinary mountain. To be conquered like all other ordinary mountains. The illuminating lights of the daimoku made it so. Where once this pitiless mountain formed a wall of hopelessness and despair around me It is now radiating light and emitting an invigorating call “Here, over there, so many staircases to the top, “Come up! Hurry! Come up! illuminated, there I can see treasures the pathways of searing hope and indomitable courage. All the treasures my heart can hold. At its core- victory, leadership, happiness is a matter of the heart. In 1993, during the visit of Daisaku Ikeda Sensei I gave him this poem, as part of an invitation to my forthcoming wedding with Denise. Questions. “If I fight for humanity, how will I achieve victory? The truth must be behind me. If the truth is behind me, how will I achieve victory? I must have a mentor to guide me.” From the deep deep past, I was summoned Sensei summoned me. “What an honor given!! What a joy to fight again!!” “What is life without a mentor? Nothing. What is a disciple if he can’t fulfill his mentor’s dream? Eternally nothing. Arrogance and laziness hounds me day by day. The path Sensei have chosen Is my only sanctuary.” I graduated. I got a job. Good jobs. Grew a family. I found a life of peace. My family chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. My brothers chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. My father chanted. My mother chanted before both of them left. Now we all can always be together Eternally, at the Ceremony in the Air. We all found peace and happiness. Part 3 - Courage-filled Journey, Joyful voyage My life, is like a newly built ship, upon hearing Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, it launched itself Upon waves and waves of challenges, waves that were powerful and relentless But Sensei showed the way, led the way through the waves He was undaunted, so should I He was persevering, so should I, And in that journey with Sensei, I wrote this sonnet Of a flag, of a ship newly launched, sliding joyfully down Tsuneishi’s Cebu slipway A marching band performing. “Creases formed by the breeze made the flag dance Waving, waving at the crowd beholden Soulful anthem, trumpets blaring, flag, lance Striking, piercing the sky, emboldened With each musical note, and dancing crease earnest tales of struggles emerged, my tale With each tale unfurled, dancing with the breeze! The songs of victory converged! Hail! Hail! Rising up, proudly raising my arms high Heart skipping a beat, flushed entire with pride Into the waves, the ship slid, with deep sighs So beautiful a day, all my doubts died. A hero, a flag, lives in every man A ship for others, be hope’s rising sun” Southern Mindanao Soka Gakkai grew. Like enumerable ordinary grasses emerging from a dry parched soil, the Bodhisattvas from the Remote Past who responded to Sensei’s summoning, emerged. Unbegrudging with our lives we spread the Law and grew. Persevering, undaunted, like our mentor, we spread the Law and grew. Emerging here, emerging there, in Tungkalan, in Calinan, in all Davao into the peninsulas, wide valleys and coastal regions of Mindanao, unbegrudging with our lives, we spread the Law and grew. Into the vast Cotabato plains, we emerged, unbegrudging, we spread the Law and grew. With the stoic Mt. Apo watching, the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, summoned by Sensei, fanned out unbegrudging The Law spread widely, widely and vastly our numbers grew. And as the Law widely spread, peace and prosperity descended upon our people in Mindanao. Even in a sea so calm there are ripples waiting… to become waves Dawn, brought down, a bright, sparkling vista of a Bodhisattva emerging in every major city and town in the Mindanao regions spreading and emerging, unbegrudging with their lives, persevering Hope-filled, joy-filled, courageous and compassionate A strong life! A happy life for all! The path Sensei opened, burst forth!! Through the battle-riddled years, The 8 winds surged forth, pushing, pounding, yet we overcome. Dotai ishin surged forth, pushing, pounding, yet we overcome. Danto surged forth, pushing, pounding, yet we overcome. The battle from within and from without continue to rage, And raging, the obstacles surge again and again, never relaxing. Relentless, they sought to break the eternal bonds of mentor and disciple, Relentless they sought to break the eternal bonds of Sensei’s disciples with other disciples But hearts, tightly one with Sensei, were victorious! Will always be victorious! Magnificently victorious! Part4 - Convictions Looking forward to this journey of kosen-rufu with Sensei towards 2030 I will be quoting once more, the closing lines of a poem I wrote as a youth before: “Atop these hills of Calinan I could see clearly now my world My friends, their joys and struggles My family, their dreams, my hopes my need for them and theirs for me. All the things that really matter- mission, compassion, sincerity, unity abreast with a deep love for all humanity. Courage behind one’s convictions. And friendship that is eternal. Yes, I’ll fear not this world. No more, no more I’ll climb all the hills… and mountains… I’ll be the soil that nourishes All the trees that giveth shade And no rocky pathways will bend again my fresh and buoyant steps For just as none can stop the grasses from growing Nor will my hopes die.” END- Emmanuel Matuco Thank you so much Sensei Daisaku Ikeda, for the honor and privilege you’ve given me, my family and our community of Bodhisattvas of the Earth, to be with you in this particular lifetime and world.

Commentary: Please note, this is a commentary only. I am having a dialogue with myself. You, the reader, is my Secret Sharer- ala Joseph Conrad. In this dialogue with myself, I allowed my imagination to run wild) Questions: Given what you did Given what you know Given what you have What more good can you do for others? “The aim of education is not to transfer knowledge; it is to guide the learning process, to equip the learner with the methods of research. It is not the piecemeal merchandizing of information; it is to enable the acquisition of the methods for learning on one's own; it is the provision of keys to unlock the vault of knowledge. Rather than encouraging students to appropriate the intellectual treasures uncovered by others, we should enable them to undertake on their own the process of discovery and invention. [1934]8- First Soka Gakkai President Tsunesaburo Makiguchi The Doctrine of the 10 Worlds in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. (VUCA & Human Existence and Happiness) Change is constant. Our world is in constant change. For purposes of common ground, let us use the concept of VUCA (see HBR 2014Feb Article- What VUCA really means for you). This constant change in our external world spawns VUCA. It stands for (V) volatility, (U) uncertainty, (C) chaotic, (A) ambiguity. A VUCA situation presents challenges. Imagine earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, planet-killer meteors, specie extinctions, etc. Questions: Was the world in VUCA before humans emerge? Yes. Was the world in VUCA when and after humans emerged? Yes. Will the world still be in VUCA after humans are gone? Yes. Our world is in constant change. VUCA. It is what it is, without or with human beings. It is what it is. Question: Can true happiness be attained in spite of this permanent VUCA? Yes. For example, In the evil age called Mappo in Buddhism, Nichiren Daishonin (800 years ago), exiled in the VUCA conditions of severe winter in Sado, medieval Japan, still declared: “I, Nichiren, am the richest man in all of present-day Japan. I have dedicated my life to the Lotus Sutra, and my name will be handed down in ages to come" (Gosho: Opening of the Eyes, The Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 2, p. 151). What a lofty spirit, amidst life-threatening conditions! Even Sakyamuni, who attained enlightenment 3 millenia ago, also described the VUCA period of the evil age of Mappo: “Since hatred and jealousy toward this sutra abound even when the thus come one [Shakyamuni Buddha] is in the world, how much more will this be so after his passing?” (Teacher of the Law 10th Chapter Lotus Sutra, LSOC, 203). Sakyamuni’s life and those of his disciples were also threatened by his cousin Devadatta. A VUCA situation. Devadatta unceasingly sought devilishly creative ways to kill the Buddha and his disciples. E.g. driving wild elephants to trample them, or rolling boulders to crush Sakyamuni and his followers. Yet this VUCA situation did not prevent Sakyamuni nor his disciples from attaining true happiness. Therefore, while the external world is in VUCA, an ordinary human being can still enjoy true happiness. But how about human suffering? Can human suffering still emerge, even if the external environment is not VUCA anymore? Wealth and power can do wonders in creating stability, certainty, simplicity and clarity. The opposite of VUCA. And yet, I was intrigued by a quote from the great Frenchman Victor Hugo (1805-1885) that was shared to me. It reads: “The life of even the most prosperous man is always in reality more sad than gay.” It seems that status and appearances can veil one’s true life condition. Allow me to reshare some insights taken from a book, a biography of Joseph Stalin. Endowed with enormous power and wealth. It was said that whenever the Soviet met someone who’s better than him, Stalin is filled with jealousy, envy, and hatred towards that person. The author describes it: “while maintaining an air of calm, he (Stalin) was panic-stricken”…. “on the outside he wore the impression of a hard smile, while inside he was full of foreboding, carrying within himself his own little hell.” (Translated from French: Victor Serge, Portrait de Staline [Paris Editions] Bernard Grasset,1940 p180-83). Let me repeat that again- “his own little hell”. On the other hand, President Nelson Mandela (South Africa) spent two decades and 7 years, or 10,000 days in prison, in what can only be described as extremely hellish conditions. “An hour felt like a year,” he was quoted to have described those times. And yet, he persevered, and upon his released, instead of exacting revenge, he unified his divided nation, and strove to create a country that enjoys peace and prosperity. What a lofty spirit! A spirit, a heart unbowed by the external VUCA. Thus from those examples, it is not the external environment that really matters with regards to the awakening of true human happiness or incessant suffering. It is what is within, what is in one’s “heart”, that matters. Nichiren Daishonin said: “First of all, as to the question of where exactly hell and the Buddha exist, one sutra states that hell exists underground and another sutra says that the Buddha is in the west. However, closer examination reveals that both exist in our five-foot body. The reason I think so is that hell is in the heart of a man who inwardly despises his father and disregards his mother”… (Major Writings Vol1,p271). Happiness and suffering is within. It is a matter of the heart. Going back, human happiness and suffering are life-conditions. Philosophically, are these life-conditions externally bestowed, or are we innately endowed with them? I belong to the “endowed” school of thought. True happiness and incessant suffering is a matter of our “heart”. Review: I am very pleased to realize that what took me years of study, we’ve managed to squeeze the essence of it in just a few posts. Starting in Prof. Bill Gates HBR interview, thru Prof Hayes (Raytheon) interview, we have tasted the essence of the Theoretical Teaching of the Lotus Sutra in a somewhat roundabout way. And finally came knocking at the door of the doctrine of the 10 worlds or the doctrine of the 10 conditions of life. This doctrine is found in the Expedient Chapter (2nd Chapter of the Lotus Sutra). This doctrine is foundational. The 2nd chapter is also the most important of the Theoretical Teachings (chapters 1-14) of the 24 chapter Lotus Sutra. And the Lotus Sutra (whether it is the 24 chapter LS, the 24 characters LS, or the highest of all- the 7 character Lotus Sutra) is the highest of all Buddha’s teachings. It appears, it was not a worst idea after all. I am deeply grateful for all your support and understanding. We should continue this ascent, yes? “Rather than provide knowledge itself, we must encourage the joy and excitement that arise from learning”- First Soka Gakkai President Tsunesaburo (Sharing to be continued in Part3C onwards.
