Although I have had some experiences of sighting certain 'sentient beings', I must still declare that I do not possess the '3rd eye' and do not have the ability to sight them always.

However, probably I am really down on my luck lately, I thought I had 3 encounters with 'them' today. I was taking the lift up to a certain floor of this building, which was empty with no one around at that time. Upon the opening of the lift door, i heard some noise and when i looked up, I thought I saw a shadow darting quickly into a room which door was diagonally facing me. Initially I thought somebody was around but after some waiting, nobody came out - nobody was around, and I felt nothing abt it then.

The 2nd encounter happened when I was sitting facing another door. The door has those typical long glass panel that allowed ppl from outside to peep in and vice versa. I didn know what made me look up at the glass panel suddenly, and once again, I saw a shadow quickly darting away from my sight. I began to feel something amiss. The 3rd encounter when I went home few hrs ago. I was taking the lift up and when the lift door opened, I saw another shadow quickly darting away from my sight and disappeared behind a wall.... gosh.. my hairs are standing on end now while i am typing this down. It may be just my imagination, or it may be real. Either case, I just need to be very mindful, especially when it comes to driving.

Today, i nearly met with 2 accidents. The first one happened at my neighbourhood carpark. I was driving along this long stretch of carpark and from far, i already noticed this guy walking by the side, in the same direction of my car which means he was back facing me. Upon reaching him, he suddenly wanted to cut across the road, and I guessed the front left portion of my car did touch him. Fortunately he reacted in time after i sounded my horn, if not, my tyre would probably have run over his foot. Next, I was filtering off from the expressway onto a main road. I was too engrossed in checking out the oncoming vehicle that i failed to realise that the taxi in front of me has suddenly halt. I nearly buang into it..... sighz.

On the brighter side, this evening I was at a coffeeshop, listening to the sharings of some dharma friends. There is this guy, who has been buddhism for the past 20 yrs, but recently got 'hitched' to this tradition which he claimed he has 100% faith in. He is very happy that he has found the 'right school' to cultivate. On the other hand, there is another dharma friend who has been in this same school for many years. Instead of ready to plant her roots in this tradition, she found out recently that she is still not convinced in herself that she shld follow this sch all the way. Thats why she decided to move on with her lay life, continue to practise hard in this tradition, while opening up to other schools of teaching still.

I feel very joyous after listening to their sharings. Sadhu to both of them!
