PJA64X INTERVIEWED
I was recently interviewed by the charming and intelligent Kimberly Bock for an overall review of my site. Here is the short interview:
Q: Would you like to start the interview with telling me exactly how long you've been using SU and what led you here?
A: "I accidentally came across the SU extension while searching for Firefox extensions in early October 2006. I had only recently installed the Internet and knew virtually nothing about computers, Internet or even typing. But I found SU intriguing and started a site showing photographs from Flickr. A couple of weeks later, having grasped the potential of SU, I deleted the previous site and began the present one on October 22nd, 2006."
Q: What exactly do you mean by, "Having grasped the potential of SU..?"
A: "Most of my adult life has been spent investigating the nature of being and the universe, and practicing and refining my findings. I was born in Pakistan in 1948. Pretty soon I picked up Christian teachings at home and Sunday school. Muslim and Sufi teachings gradually influenced me via the neighbourhood, school and media. So did Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh teachings via school, Indian radio stations, and what is nowadays called the Bollywood film industry.
When we moved to Britain in 1964, I was astonished to find spirituality mostly absent in a supposedly Christian nation. Money, an entirely mindless belief in British superiority over all races and cultures, and a strange notion that science somehow would solve everything any day now, were the ruling gods. In the mid-sixties, as a student in London, I was appalled to find ignorance and superficiality rampant almost everywhere, with overt and covert prejudice against foreigners, women, lower classes, and even people from other regions of Britain. I was most disillusioned, especially with God and all the sages and prophets.
I realized then that I had to investigate the causes behind the unlimited human foolishness and suffering. So I set about doing just that around 1970 and, after a year or so of little progress, began to see things the way sages and prophets had seen them. I spent some fifteen years in deep study, investigation and experimentation and, from around 1985 onwards, began to help students of spiritual reality who showed up in my life.
So as I was showing photos from Flickr at my first site in early October 2006 and glancing at what most stumblers were doing, I had an interesting little inspiration. It suddenly dawned on me that if I said "NO!" to SU conventions and thought outside the box, I could create a site utilising my spiritual knowledge and conduct myself more or less exactly as I wished.
This is what I meant by grasping the potential of SU! The SU technology, combined with creative thinking, intelligent communication and pleasant interaction with good-hearted people, has allowed me to do my thing. Little by little, my site has emerged. Gradually, it has become accepted, and even liked by some, for its emphasis on inspiration, wisdom and positive energy, as well as general friendliness and helpfulness. I have also been rewarded with some really warm friendships, and many fine acquaintances.
SU has great potential for good, Kimberly, something its owners and stumblers at large as yet do not understand. But, gradually, they will!
I am generally aloof from the ways of humanity and knew so little about computers, Internet, and even typing some fifteen months ago. So, if someone like myself can have a unique and credible site promoting universal good and influencing receptive stumblers for the better, then so can numerous others in their own ways. The potential of SU is there to be tapped and used by anyone willing to tap and use their own potential for universal good. All that is required is the willingness to do so. If one looks within and strengthens one's desire for creating a worthy site, the way forward will automatically appear!"
