Common Ownership through Closures
On 16 July I raised the question ‘Thinking
small minister?’ http://austms.blogspot.com.au/2016/07/gajalakshmiparamasivam-16-july-2016_17.html
. That question was manifested by my ownership Energy
in relation to Airlanka. Every person who invests more and derives less and is
accepting that as natural – is a true owner.
Owners have mother’s intuition. A
true owner has the power to influence manifestations as needed by her/him
and/or her/his group. Sri Lankan Airlines/Airlanka is one such institution in
which I feel ownership. When the new Government in Sri Lanka, had the Airline investigated – I was critical
of the lawyers who produced the report due to the damage I intuitively felt would
happen for the business of that Institution of mine. Like with Sri Lanka as a
country – Airlanka is an institution I carry within me as part of myself. Weeks
before I got the job – I asked a holy person as to whether I would be
successful in going overseas to work and earn money to build a home on my land
in Colombo. The holy person said ‘Like Murugan you are going to fly on the peacock’.
Weeks later, came the letter of offer. Later
(as per my knowledge) the peacock became the logo of Airlanka. To my mind, not only was the holy person a ‘seer’
but he added his positive credits for me to achieve what I needed and what Sri
Lanka also needed at that time. I am an ambassador for Sri Lanka at the global
level, largely due to my ownership in Airlanka. Hence I get upset when the
over-enthusiastic pundits from outside use project approach – as if
Airlanka/Sri Lankan Airlines is an Object without feelings. An owner knows the
reasons why when something goes wrong and her/his support is needed. An owner
becomes a Common Carrier – beyond time and place borders. At the deeper level
an owner is intuitively identified with by other owners in the ‘issue’.
I believe that this is the reason why I
feel as I do with the University of
Jaffna where I did not study or work – but due to Jaffna being my land of
primary and secondary. I believe also that my ownership investment in the
University of NSW – has become Common in terms of the core purposes of the existence of any University -
Research & Teaching towards Sovereignty. Those driven by benefits from the
University fail to reach this destination of ownership. They would tend to use
the University for a living and not for Common Sovereign life. I felt that the Minister responsible was going
to devalue the Airline further, by travelling economy and hence the above
alert. Yesterday I learnt with great disappointment that Pakistan’s PIA was picking up the ‘cheapened’ parts of Sri
Lanka’s National carrier. A true owner of the investment made, during the time
Singapore Airlines managed Air Lanka, would not have allowed this demotion to
happen. This is like the demotion of National Government after the British
departed. As per latest news reports
Minister Kabir Hashim has ended up negotiating with Pakistan International
Airlines – which to my mind confirms the deterioration in values. This confirms
also that that part of the current Government is not listening to true owners. This
is because of not paying their dues to all those who feel ownership – including
Singapore Airlines Management team and those trained by them. If the true value
of SIA had been predominant in the minds of those who said ‘goodbye’ to SIA –
we would preserved the higher standards of SIA as part of our heritage.
The more interesting realization is the
Holy man’s contribution to my investment in Air Lanka. This Hindu Holy man
played the role of the Buddhist Priests in Sri Lankan Government. That Buddhist
position is an allocated position but the Hindu one is a Natural position. When
the Natural one shows higher structure than
the official one – that person must be paid first respect in that Institution.
The most pressing question in terms of Sri
Lanka as a Nation is the ethnic divide. Cassandre Doole states in the Ceylon
Today article ‘A charred massacre’ about the July 1983 ethnic attacks:
‘Each
and every Sri Lankan, be they Tamil, Sinhala or Muslim, just want to live in
peace. Thus, we would like to think, or even hope that July 1983 pogrom was
only an aberration and a repetition will be unheard of.
The Aluthgama incidents in 2014, the emergence of Sinha-Le in January, and even the recent clash at the Jaffna University show that people still have mob mentality. Therefore, the constant rekindling of the disturbingly tragic incidents of "Black July 1983" is necessary to prevent a repetition.’

The editorial in Sunday Observer under the
heading “WHAT IS A ‘POGROM’?” expresses the following advice:
‘Sri
Lankans, today, must make the effort to look ‘beyond’ the memories – as one
government minister has said when asked to reflect on the July anniversary.
What has happened certainly cannot and will not be forgotten. Rather, while
keeping these memories, we need to move on towards resolution and closure.’
What comes to mind is the following part of
my submission in a case before the High Court of Jaffna in deciding whether a
decision by the primary Court was Interlocutory or Final Judgment:
[“It seems to me that the real test for determining
this question ought to be this: Does the judgment or order, as made, finally
dispose of the rights of the parties? If it does, then I think it ought to be
treated as a final order; but if it does not it is then, in my opinion, an
interlocutory order.” - Lord Alverstone, C.J cited by Hon
Justice SaleemMarsoof, P.C., J. inStorerDuraisamy Yogendra
&BalasubramaniamThavabalan Vs. VelupillaiTharmaratnam’]
In terms of the above two about the July 83
tragedy - the former is Experience based and the latter is Logic based. Which
one is more appropriate than the other? That depends on whether the Experience
value of the practitioner is greater or lesser than the total investment made
by those concerned in the logical pathway. The higher of the two is the
appropriate description.
The question I ask in this process is ‘what is racism?’ . If I conclude that
that is the right name after escalating my pain to the highest level through
avenues available to me – then that is the definition/description I am entitled
to use. My Public Service experience followed by Court experiences here in
Australia – did not give me a clear Common definition. As per my mind, I did
not experience racism at the workplace in Sri Lanka. But I did experience it as
a member of the Tamil Community living in Colombo – due to – as Cassandre Doole
puts it - ‘mob’ mentality. In Australia – the Government has come a long
way from ‘mob mentality’ due also to challenges in Court – by migrants like
myself. The deepest repair as per my mind, has been due to attributing to Indigenous owners of Land at Public gatherings.
This is systematically followed by Public officials and by many Public
institutions. The other night – we went to see our little granddaughter Kali, perform
Bollywood dance during Community nig-multicultural celebrations at her school –
Dulwich Hill Public School. The sweet surprise was the Indigenous dance
performance during which most of the parents joined the kids - by paying tribute to Natural elements. To me
that was a big armor of security against racism. Given that the tribute is paid
to those who have passed away – the value is exponential when we are genuine
Australians – feeling Australian. That is an example that the Sri Lankan
Government can learn from. Even in Capital Colombo – there needs to be similar
attribution to those from whom we inherited Public Administration wisdom.
Due to the escalation of my experience to
the National level – despite knowing that I would be marked a ‘failure’ I
elevated my mind to global level through my position taken as their opposition
(like TNA in National Parliament). Hence my investment in Australia would take
form at that level too – in my mind which is MY WORLD. I no longer feel anxiety
when I remember the details of what happened and what I lost. I sometimes feel
sad but not anxious. Not a day goes by without me thanking my Spiritual Guide
who was with me all along the way to realizing ownership – often through fellow
Australians and sometimes directly – one to one. When we accept defeat at the
higher level – after having earned the win at that level through common logic/principles/laws/
- the ‘gap’ becomes ‘ownership’ and we are able to work the system through its
natural forces. If we are not able to think ‘Common’ we are not owners. If we
are not owners we need specific pathways through which to regulate our thoughts
– so our processes become common.
Just yesterday, when I clipped my
sunglasses to my T-Shirt – I thought of the clerk at Mallakam District Court –
who asked me to remove my reading glasses clipped in similar fashion – when I
was in the witness box. When employees follow their leaders subjectively – they
start dictating to the next line down in the hierarchy. The mind ‘freed’ of
responsibility to do one’s duty – would get tempted by easier ways to please
the master at that time. In that Court – that clerk was acting worse than the
LTTE cadre who never ‘told me’ to do this or ‘not to do that’. Once the LTTE ‘visa-officer’
gave a hard-time to another guy in our
group – a Brahmin who was highly
conscious of being vegetarian, but just endorsed my visa without asking any
questions. To me that LTTE member had wisdom through experience whereas the
above clerk in Mallakam District Court was abusing power as per his master’s
expectations.
That Mallakam Court experience was also
very painful at that time. But by processing what happened through the Common
Administrative Law – I contributed to policy and lost ‘anxiety’ in the process.
I had enough credit in Judicial Administration to identify with the rights and
wrongs of the conduct of the employees of Mallakam Court and this was largely
due to my investment in Australian Judicial system as a litigant who was marked
‘failure’ repeatedly.
As stated in the Sunday Observer Editorial,
we need ‘closure’. But if we bring about closure at the lower level – the memory
of stronger victims would disintegrate and keep dwelling on what happened
rather than why it happened. The rebirth of the problem happens at that level. With
others who were not too strongly affected – the memory is lost and therefore
there is no consolidated support from the past to the future victims. We need
closure at the highest level in order to value the Experience.
Closure is like burial or cremation or even
going through the death penalty. We go through ceremonies to say goodbye to the
person whose body is no longer functional. By adding our own credits – we lift
their credits to benefit a group – so the position held by that person confirms
higher heritage. In terms of the Bali 9 leaders – we Australians went through
this process at National level through Mr. Abbott’s leadership. That good karma
would protect Australians from loneliness – as individuals and/or as local
groups. The closure made us Common Australians including with those who were on
the death row. When we identify with the
Truth in others – through our own Truth – and stay within the boundaries of
that Common Truth – we are no longer anxious of violence from them. That is closure
at global level and Sri Lanka also needs.
In terms of death – we send the soul to the
higher level towards heaven and every person who does that - of her/his own
accord brings about ‘closure’ and therefore Peace. The process of finding the
Truth is the healing process that gets rid of anxiety. The common element in Sri
Lankan society is ‘lack of jobs’ and therefore the lesser opportunity to train through workplace
regulations that make the minds common.
The current measures by the Government of
Sri Lanka are ‘interlocutory’ and not final due to not escalating the problem to
the highest level possible. Where in a Court of Law – the litigant under oath
reveals her/his true experience – it must be valued ABOVE any argument by a
legal expert – however logical the latter may seem. Those ‘facts’ may not be included in the decision making due
to lack of appropriate formatting but if it is dismissed as being frivolous or
vexatious or the litigant devalued below even the clerk of the Court – the return
karma becomes exponential. Truth does the Closure.
The attack at University of Jaffna did not
happen just because of the students. It happened also because of the curses
upon Administrators and the Judiciary of that area, who go about living while Jaffna’s intelligence
is being burnt –with no one considering the ashes to be holy enough to be worn
as marks of wisdom.
Like with 9/11, the July tragedy would be
described by majority Sinhalese as
having happened due to Terrorism – as described by their Master – the Government.
To majority Tamils it would be Racism of
previous times, reborn. Given that there is no Common Description – there can
be no common closure through ‘Logic’. Each side needs to bring about closure
AFTER through their own Truth. One who identifies with the Truth at the higher
level – is the Natural leader.
