1 “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers
of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 without
love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—
5 having
a form of godliness but denying its power. Have
nothing to do with them.
6 They
are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil
desires,
7 always learning but never able to acknowledge
the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is
concerned, are rejected.
9 But
they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their
folly will be clear to everyone.”

Therefore, I say:
Know your enemy and know yourself;
in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated.
When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself,
your chances of winning or losing are equal.
If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself,
you are sure to be defeated in every battle.

Underlining, if present will be removed. For in the web page, it is very hard to differentiate the underline. Color pale blue or tan will take its place depending on article or personal notes.
Coloring is just a mere tool to aid understanding. Once you grasp the content, the inner meaning, let go of the coloring standard. Don’t hold on to color. Coloring then becomes meaningless to the one who understood the content. So, don’t give too much importance to this and that color.
When we speak, special emphasis on certain contents can be expressed by high tone. Low tone for normal speaking. Coloring is somewhat similar in writing.
Spoken words are normally once or a few times only. Unless and until it is recorded and played again and again. But on the internet, the files will be huge and takes long time for download.
The equivalent written words with coloring stay as it is, for multiple use and mass preaching on the Lord. Can be used again and again. The text files can be in small volumes or booklets for easy download.
b. Vocabulary
These articles are educational in nature. Specifically for “student” research purposes. (Everyone is a “student” by one way or other) The assumption is, English is a second language for the reader. So the relevant meaning of certain “tough” English words is also given along for ease of understanding, to any layman or laywoman.
Introduction
It is very easy to speak or write on high moral values as long as one sits inside a palace or a similar enclosure, separated from the society. But when, say under disguise, one moves around society as a commoner, a street urchin or whatever, one will be able to come across the contradiction. What is theoretical is not what is seen in practice, in day-to-day life.
There are a lot of “educated”
criminal elements indulging in nefarious activities, which many an educated
commoner assume as impossible theoretically, “No, not in

We have an assumption that an educated person usually minds his or her own business. But as we move around in society, we find a major contradiction. A lot of people with mental abnormalities – a pervert condition to intrude into other’s private matters, even without permission. Certain areas of technological advancement fuel this poor mental state.
I quote below a few links on the use of tiny, moth-ball sized spy cameras, night vision, optical, wireless devices etc as well as the installation of similar spy devices inside computers for clandestine monitoring and surveillance.
These are the days of global

and use them for furthering their selfish illegal “needs”. Such snooping devices

Many a street stories abound, even in far away places like Bangalore, Thiruvananthapuram etc of the rampant use of such spy devices, for eavesdropping and surveillance on other’s privacy, by stalkers and criminal elements.

Methods
of Violation
Over a period of time, with the
help of such devices for clandestine monitoring, a detailed SWOT (Strength,
Weakness,
Spy devices also aid the process of “attempted rape”, “attempted molestation”, “outrage of modesty”, physical assault etc.
In a typical traditional nuclear family setup, the spy devices also aid the process of “molestation”. The outsider as mentioned in the above scenario, could, in this case, be a relative, a man, for example. Sexually aroused by a female family member, say niece or cousin. Being a family relation allows the man frequent access to the woman’s household. Successive implantation of spy devices inside the woman’s house allows the man to monitor the woman’s activities with precision. A beast waiting for the right opportunity to fall on its unsuspecting prey. Any physical assault, which may occur, might stay within the family itself, for gossip could tarnish the family name in the neighborhood. But the unsuspecting victim suffers deeply, in mental anguish, unaware of what “truly” facilitated the outrage of her modesty. In these days of immorality and unruly behavior, the victim could be a married woman or even an unmarried chaste woman.
The use of wireless spy cameras inside computer monitor has remarkable advantages:
Refer the article by Shiel, Fergus. (
Many a victim may not even be aware of being stalked/cyber-stalked, especially with the use of spy devices.
In the market apart from spy cameras, there are other devices also, to access information from a computer. For example, tiny gadgets clandestinely fixed within the computer keyboard could track the passwords when they are punched in. If wireless operated, then the criminal elements can access the passwords of web sites, web pages, email account, credit card numbers etc and utilize those accounts for criminal purposes.
Voyeurism
Why criminal elements alone?
Nowadays many lodges and hotels of
various categories have rooms with spy cameras. Whether it be
in
Rich customers like foreigners, NRI (Non Resident Indian) etc are also provided such rooms for surveillance on money, sex life etc.
On enquiry, such matters are “hush-hush” in public while common knowledge among the lodge/hotel service staff. So how will an unsuspecting victim gather evidence for criminal prosecution against the lodge/hotel for violation of privacy, after paying Indian Rupees. 100 plus per day for a decent hotel/lodge room?
Refer the article by
Under such circumstances,
The Movie “Enemy of the State” released in 1998 provides an interesting episode on surveillance and the use of spy devices.
A memorable tagline from the movie, “Enemy of the State”:
The only privacy left is inside of your head
What is inside the head, in the mind is what is that comes out over a period of time, by bodily and verbal actions. So, if all the rooms of a house are bugged up and monitored over a long period, say over 1 year, even what is inside the head could be mapped out. If the unsuspecting victim have access to the net, personal web pages etc, the passwords could be stolen by observation through visual spy devices implanted in various parts of the victim’s house. The scenario for the victim is worse than an animal caged inside the zoo. Jailed inside one’s own house. In the zoo, no one monitors the birds and animals 24 hours a day. Even modern prisoners in western nations have more freedom within the prison.
The exit point for a victim under such circumstances is to change. To change oneself. To transform oneself. Verbally, bodily and clean the mind. Transform towards what goal? Spiritual transformation, towards the Lord. Mobility, abandoning one’s place of residence, abandoning excessive material possessions, to be on the move, is another option.
Mapping
On observation over a period of time, such spy devices allow a person to make deductions about the target, whether man or woman. Deduction specifically on weaknesses. Sexual tastes being the most common deduction done. What sort of sexual tastes does the target man or woman have? On understanding that vital factor, the monitors device ways to influence the target man or woman using that specific sexual taste/weakness which he or she prefer/have. Today, in an Indian society, even old men and women involve in such spying activities, to corner prospective eligible men and women for their daughters and sons. If old men and women indulge in voyeurism, then
Some
Questions and Answers
1. By publishing this article on the web, aren’t you actually creating an awareness on spy devices? Will it not help the eve-teasers?
To
create an awareness to the public, what else am I to
do? Sit silently and watch? Over one year, I suffered mental torture because of
these devices. As a victim, I don’t want a similar pain to be inflicted on many
other unsuspecting innocents. I used to check the newspapers for any news in
2. The
Times of India, Delhi article is dated Tuesday, October 29, 2002. Does that
mean the use of spy devices started in
No. A long time back. Already well known among
hard-core eve-teasers. The Movie “Enemy
of the State” was released in 1998. By that
time, the devices are popular in US. My experience, in
Refer
the article by Raman, B. (Monday,
3. Being a victim, did you verbally abuse or physically fight, face-to-face the privacy violators?
No. I
suffered silently. Yet my mental outpourings of pain, I used to type on my
computer.
Many
privacy violators are those who lack sufficient educational qualification.
Qualification doesn’t mean certificate. Nowadays anyone can get a certificate.
The maturity, the submissiveness that comes from a sound educational
qualification is absent in many privacy violators. So why should
educated victims verbally abuse or physically fight, face-to-face like
street “dons”? That is not befitting an educated person, man or woman. We just
have to understand the scenario and take suitable measures to avoid those who
annoy us. For nothing is gained by fighting, other than more mental pain and
agony. As well as the yearning for revenge. Refer the
advice given by The Blessed One, Lord Buddha, according to -
Aghatapativinaya
Sutta (AN V.161) -- Subduing
Hatred {A iii 185} [Thanissaro Bhikkhu, trans.
| Ñanamoli Thera,
trans.]. Five skillful ways of dealing with people
who annoy you.
Spy
Device Victim Experiences
Viewpoints
Criminals who had prison
sentences, drug addicts, cabaret dancers, nude dancers, strippers, loose women
– a whole class of people, who face social ban in a “traditional value” society. Separated from any society from normal activities
of integrity and respect.
With such prior knowledge,
a family having such a “bad” element (maybe a cabaret dancer or maybe a
divorcee or maybe a loose woman) find very hard to walk into the house of any
decent family for a marriage alliance. There is a high possibility of being
kicked out. An
accepted fact in any Eastern society with “traditional values”.
So some other means of
influencing have to be exerted. Modern technology is there for help, in the
form of spy devices. Spy cameras, visual devices, audio
devices, computer hardware bugs etc for tapping or illegal surveillance and
monitoring. For mapping a person or a group of people, their daily
activities, house secrets, family matters etc. Who the people
of the house deal with, their strength, weaknesses, threats and opportunities.
Once a detailed study is made, the “co-incidences” commence. Going to places
where the male or female target visits. Repetitive meeting or rendezvous with
“throwing of the eyes”, “a sensuous smile”, a small chit-chat, “Your good name,
please! Where do you live?” a gentle touch etc. for friendship. Popular words
are “met accidentally”, “by chance”, whereas the meeting scenario was
pre-planned from one side, the surveillance monitors, to waylay the
unsuspecting target, be it man or woman. Then starts the
showing of “mock” love. Dark details from one’s personal life (previous
affairs, sex life etc) are never revealed until a sexual hold is created on the
target. For the sexual hold is a “sort” of “concrete” concept in society.
Whether there is a later divorce, separation, split in relationship or
whatever, doesn’t matter. For, maintenance in the form of money, a name in
society as the “ex-husband/wife” of so and so, are
some of the added benefits.
You can't STALK
her.
But WE CAN.
Well, sort of.
We can observe her movements from dawn to dusk. We can use a clever pretext to
interview roommates and classmates from her past and colleagues and girlfriends
from her present. We can send an agent to check out her relatives. We can keep
an eye on her apartment and squeeze information from previous boyfriends. Then,
We'll design a 'COINCIDENCE'.
We can arrange
for the two of you to first meet at a convention, and then -- a few weeks later
-- end up, coincidentally, seated next too each other on a trans-Atlantic
flight. Or find yourselves, coincidentally, trapped in an elevator together.
SHE will start
talking to YOU.
Guaranteed! And
when you start chatting, you'll draw on data we fed you beforehand. Say that
you hate pumpkins but do like The Smashing Pumpkins,
whereupon she'll excitedly exclaim that she feels precisely the same. One thing
will lead to another...
--Coincidence
Design
"Coincidence Design" is a
company that offers pretexting and private
investigator services to men who wish to meet women. The company can be hired to
profile a woman and, by learning more about her interests and habits, arrange a
"coincidence" where the client meets the woman in circumstances that
facilitate a romantic relationship. Coincidence Design
offers their basic service for $8,000, and claims to have the
ability to tap women's phones and the ability to obtain data on women by
calling their friends and coworkers seeking information under false pretenses.
(Reference: Electronic Privacy Information
Center - Gender and Electronic Privacy.)
I wonder what moral values,
the men and women who indulge in such lengthy and indirect hunting, whether the
hunt is for a man or a woman, have in their personal life! “Legal prostitution”
that is what it is. A small period of “married” co-habitation
for satisfying the “pleasures of the flesh” with the sanction of the society as
“legal”. Once used and known thoroughly, the partner gets thrown away as
“dirt”. Divorce. Separation.
What morality is there in such “lusty” way of life?
Any man or woman who
sincerely loves someone talks about the matter to his or her parents and family
elders, especially in a traditional society. The elders of the family get together
and discuss the feasibility of such a relation, if such a relation is at all
possible.
Those who go by the vulgar
and dirty means, the lengthy and indirect hunting normally have something in
their past to hide, which they don’t want to be revealed in the immediate
future. Yet they want the relationship by some means or other. All ways of
cornering or enticing are done, to make a show of “mock” love. Once the other
person is pulled down sexually, slowly and slowly they bring out their dirty
past. But then, to a decent man or woman, he or she is already cornered to a
relationship. What else he or she can do? Just bear with it, suffer with it,
until the end of life, or until the relation lasts.
Astrology was given
prominence in certain traditional societies. To find if the
star positions of the male and female match. Will they have a happy life
together, “forever” as the romantic poets sing. Alas,
to facilitate the lusty life style, what do we see today? They take the
target’s (whether man or woman) horoscope and write an equivalent joining
horoscope. The bad element’s original horoscope never comes anywhere in the
picture. Only the tailored new horoscope is used, to get the mission
accomplished. For who cares about the consequences on what could happen, once
the sexual hold or sexual entanglement is done? The goals of the bad elements
are limited – money and fame, with added spicy lust.
Who cares about such
ancient facts as star positions, astrology etc?
On being
exposed. Such people of immoral values, come across
embarrassment, shame, loss of face, loss of dignity.
One should always know
one’s own social/family status, social/ family level, social/family reputation
etc. Know clearly where one stand. Then only one should try to deal with
others. There is no point in day-dreaming. A low repute
person day-dreaming to corner a well-to-do person. Reality is always
different from day-dreams. So it is always easier to deal with someone from
one’s own level or status or reputation, NOT higher. A servant normally deals
with a servant. A servant will find very hard to deal with someone of the
landlord or master level.
How to deal
with such bad elements?
It is wise not to trust something that has deceived us once
before.
- Descartes, Meditation I,
p.12
I have travelled to
different lands. No where I have come across a man who
watches the nakedness of a woman WITHOUT vulgar thoughts. Mentally “raping” the woman. So too the state of a woman who
watches the nakedness of a man, clandestinely - putting spy bugs inside
neighbouring houses, inside other’s toilets, places of privacy and monitoring.
Imagine the case of a man
or a group of men persistently watching the nakedness and private affairs of
young women in the neighbourhood. Will the
society accept that, these men will sit for ever, as it is, just watching? As days go on,
as the men learn the weaknesses of the target women, vulgar thoughts arise.
How about cornering those
unsuspecting women inside their own house, when they are alone?
How about cornering those
women outside their house?
What about the case, when a
few men persistently get unsuccessful in their sexual advances to the target
women outside the victim’s house but cannot just sit watching the nakedness
clandestinely? Too agitated sexually. Naturally they will
find ways to assault the target woman when alone, to satisfy their pent-up
passion. There are cases where, when the role is reversed, women spying on men, get sexually aroused. Repeatedly
trying to corner their target outside the house. On failure, finally end
up in oral sex business as an exit point for carnal frustration. As a loose woman of the street.
In the above scenario of
assault, some points are worth to be known:
The scenario of assault is
of grave concern in the case of women left alone at home – housewives whose
husband leave for work, students etc.
The doors may be locked.
But with spy devices, what use is a door? What use is a window? What use is,
even a wall? Once targeted, the scenario for the victim is like living openly
on the public road-side. All privacy, personal matters are under observation 24
hours a day. Slowly being mapped. One’s
character, way of life, behaviour, timing of house-hold duties etc. With
such a personal intimate knowledge, will the days be far for a passionate and
sexually aroused monitor to move in for the sexual assault?
Comparative Scenario
Display the extent of mental agony, as provided by an
Indian Spy Device Victim.
Author's note: Because of the subject of this writing, some readers may find the following scenarios objectionable.
The male victim addresses a woman on the similarity of two different scenarios:
1. Say you are a beautiful sister of 18 + years of age, chaste and unmarried. You are alone at home during the following imaginary situation. Imagine.
2. A door knocks. A stranger at the door. You open the door.
3. The stranger pushes past you and comes into the empty house.
4. Before you know anything, you are pushed from the door and the door slammed shut.
5.
The stranger grabs your hands and pushes you against the wall.
6.
You stand horrified with your face to the wall, and both hands pulled backwards
by the stranger.
7. The stranger starts pulling off your clothes, even your
underclothes.
8. After forcible undressing to stark nakedness, he drags you
by the hands and opens the outside door.
9. He
pulls the naked “you” out of the gate and parades you up and down the street.
10. After one round of parade, he drags you back into your
house.
11. He gets out, slams the door shut and walks away, as if nothing happened.
12. He did not do anything else other than this naked parade, this “outraging of modesty”. No other physical assault.
13. When you were paraded on the street naked, the many men and women on the street just watched your “nakedness” without interfering.
14. Some
of those men and women were known to you or your family before.
Mentally go through this scenario, sister. If such
a scenario, actually happened, how will you as a woman, who lives a chaste and
religious life feel? Understand the feeling thoroughly. If the depth of
understanding is not proper, get some “bully” to help “enact” or “play” in real
life, this scenario, to get “the feel of it”.
Now I come back to experience with spy devices. My mental agony. Despair. Mental pain.
The same sequence of steps is similar to the use of
spy devices by a person (monitor) or a group of people (monitors).
In your case, sister, you were paraded naked only
once in the above imagination. Whereas to me and family, it
was a nearly daily event.
Imagine the feelings! Imagine
the psychological stress!
3 Your
nakedness will be exposed
and your shame uncovered.
I will take vengeance;
I will spare no one.
- Isaiah 47:3
:: New International Version (NIV)
An Addendum.
7. The
stranger starts pulling off your clothes, even your underclothes.
8. After
forcible undressing to stark nakedness, he drags you by the hands and opens the
outside door.
9. He pulls the naked “you” out
of the gate and parades you up and down the street.
10. After
one round of parade, he drags you back into your house.
On understanding the assault scenario, the sister got ashamed:
“To describe such a scene in “detail”, where you bad before?”
19 It is
easy to see the wrong things people
want to do. Both married people and those who are not married commit
adultery. People make themselves unclean because of their wrong use of sex. They do things they should be ashamed of doing.
- Galatians
I don’t know.
Nowadays a majority of movies in
any language contain scenes more detailed than what I described for
imagination.
Nowadays movies rarely run
without more advanced in-depth scenes.
Nowadays old and young, men and
women prefer to watch only such movies which have more advanced in-depth scenes,
for the “kick”, for the “thrill”. (Ratings of X, XX, XXX etc)
Nowadays old and young, men and
women prefer to go to sleep or even be sleepless with advanced personally added thoughts to those already
advanced in-depth scenes, with themselves as
the hero/heroine, villain/madam villain. Is
there a rating higher than XXX? In one’s own
mind, who and where is the censor board?
Erotica
everywhere.
Am I bad?
Are you perfect?
19 Here
is what comes from the heart: wrong thoughts, killing people, all kinds of adultery, stealing, lying, and saying
wrong things about people.
- Matthew
21 Here
is what comes from the heart: wrong thoughts, all kinds of adultery, stealing, killing, wanting
things that other people have, doing very wrong things, fooling
people, breaking the law, jealousy, saying
wrong things about people, being proud, being foolish.

Tiny Spy Devices
The tiny moth ball sized devices are wireless operated, and can be inserted in or affixed to wall/door/window/furniture crevices/cracks/holes etc. Being tiny in nature, they easily mould with the surroundings. Those who haven’t visually come across these devices before, will find difficulty in detecting their presence. There are even night vision devices, to see through darkness. Ideal to monitor bed-room scenes. The power of some of these tiny devices is that it helps to map the victim’s life A to Z. If you read any book/newspaper or whatever, the monitor can read along with you through the spy device. Even the small letters of the book. If you write anything, the monitor can read whatever you have written. It is said that information is power. The more information the monitors have about you, the more invisible hold they can have over you. The only exit point you have, if you are locked in within a certain environment, is to approach the Lord, for repentance, for forgiveness of your sins. If you are sincere in your prayers, the Lord will do what is rightly to be done, for he never throws away the one who approaches Him truthfully, according to the Laws.
For every monitoring system…there is a countermeasures device that will defeat it.
…to
detect, locate, and expose covert audio instruments, even those that are as
exotic as a transmitter the size of a grain
of rice or
as common as a tape recorder.
…the precautions to be observed against eavesdroppers and
other defensive techniques of counter surveillance.
(Reference: The CCS Security Source® Library.)
Sample Scenarios
Scenario: Questioning
A self-respecting man will
never like anyone intruding his privacy, especially watching his nakedness. So will
a self-respecting woman.
Those who watch the nakedness, the intimate privacy of unsuspecting
people: when they bring people from the street to share the pleasure of
watching other’s nakedness through spy devices, have they ever thought how much
defamation they are causing indirectly to an unsuspecting group of victims?
Scenario: Abuse
What sort of self-respect, dignity, and shame does the men and women have, who spy as voyeurs on other’s privacy? Why do they call themselves as “educated”? Was education just a means of money-making? Doesn’t education give morality, character, good behavior, righteousness? These voyeurs don’t spare old men, old women, young boys, and young girls. How these devices converted today’s man and woman to psychopathic maniacs, with an excessive urge for seeing, watching sexual matters? Are they impotent? Are they sex starved? Even old women indulge in voyeurism!
Scenario: Lamentation
I being a man in a male dominated society might be
able to withstand such “treachery” and “indecent” behavior from my own “good”
neighbors, with the help of the Lord. What could have been the scenario if the
victim was a woman?
Imagine a beautiful young girl/woman who rejected
repeatedly the sexual advances of some of the street “guys”, or class-mates at
college/university or colleagues at the work place. What happens if the guys
make use of spy devices and a similar scenario ensures. Naked
scenes. Naked photos. Forced
sex. Blackmailing. May the kind Lord protect
the poor girl from bodily harm! I believe it will be far better for such a
victim to become a nun, for who will listen to her frank account of misdeeds
and mental agony? O Lord, we live in bad times! Times of
immoral nature. Have mercy on us!
1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute
me, and deliver me:
- Psalm 7:1 ::
King James Version (KJV)
Many a scenario in
this male dominated society where spy devices could be used rampantly to hunt
women, married or unmarried.
Today we have men and women of immoral nature, who
lives like beasts on the prowl in society. Who cares about family values,
privacy etc. in this “money–first” world? All care only about that temporary
sexual satisfaction; even-if it is illegal and disgusting. They only care and
think of the rubbing of flesh!
19 But
they think about the things of this world. They want to get money and other things to be happy. These things push the message out of their
hearts. No good comes from it.
- Mark
Scenario: Crime and Ignorance
It is the lack of awareness of information, the
right form of information, among the general masses that prevent the
unsuspecting people from taking proper precautionary or safety measures. Today,
we have a major source for information, in the form of internet, where one can
surf around, collect and learn the world as it is. Such knowledge helps a
person to guard himself or herself from the hands of
predators, whether the predator is a man or woman or a group of people.
If something wrong occurs, the unsuspecting victim
or victims silently bears with, as an act of fate. But little do they know that
we live in an immoral world. A world of predators of one form
or other. There are predators who hunt for food, there are predators who
hunt for flesh for carnal satisfaction, there are predators who hunt for money,
there are predators who hunt for information, knowledge etc. So it is a
question of what is accepted in society and what is not.
When I talked to my beloved parents about the
clandestine use of spy devices by a group of predators, I was scoffed off as
“insane”, “mad”. My parents are unaware of such devices. They believed in the
goodness of society, though they know the society is immoral. They never
expected even the “well-behaving” neighbor is actually not what is supposed to
be. So you see, a predator neighbor can easily
manipulate the ignorant with the use of special advanced devices. Manipulate
for achieving his or her selfish ends. But if my parents are aware fully, if
the society is aware fully, at least a certain level of precaution will be
there, to protect oneself from being manipulated by others whether it be for
food, money, sex, fame or whatever.
Scenario: Law
Enforcement!
What happens when some
of those who are supposed to enforce the law take the role of clandestine
monitoring for furthering their private needs?
There are police
officers who use their police authority to corner men and women, for private or
personal requirements. Experience cases exist where a police officer on-duty in
a major metropolitan city (
For example, for the
man who was monitored in the above “match-making” case, can he approach the
police with a complaint on privacy violation/stalking? The alternative is to
flee that land! Otherwise as time goes on, the police officer, to save his
face, or prevent embarrassment before the prying public eyes, can frame up
false charges and get the victim locked up. Once locked up, the victim is moved
away from the public observation. The corrupt officer can do whatever he like
with “third-degree methods” on the innocent man.
The Movie “Enemy
of the State” concludes with a strange question, “Who will monitor the
monitors?”
In other words,
prevent corrupt use of monitoring. What happens if the police become the
criminal? Misuse their official policing powers?
Precaution
Prevention is
better than cure.

The above scenarios are concepts to ponder. From
experience, it calls for certain modifications to some traditional values:
In olden days, any visitor to a house is a guest.
Caring for the guest was a matter of great significance. An
act of social hospitality.
But today, strangers, even distant relatives are
“untouchable” to allow entrance to any private home or residence.
Always have an outer room or veranda where any visitor,
whoever it is, is entertained and “send off”. Never allow the visitor entrance
to any of the inside rooms of the house.
In the case of strangers, deal with them at the
outside gate itself. Never allow them entry into the premises.
It was a humanitarian practice to allow somebody to
use the toilets in cases of emergency. NEVER ALLOW THAT PRACTICE. Nicely tell
them, whoever it may be, to go elsewhere. Point out some nearby office or
institution or shopping complex “comfort station” to use. Never allow the use
of the toilets in your house by outsiders, even in extreme cases of emergency.
In the case of distant relatives, even if a woman
in emergency to use toilets, never allow access to the toilets. Women cheat
women, far better than a man does. Women also are the best “fakers”, faking a
scenario and trying to accomplish their objective, whether their target is a
professor, police officer, politician, writer or whatever. A respectable attire
and makeup, a sensuous smile, few words are enough to deal with any man, to
achieve the mission, or even relaxation of rules and regulations. Does a normal
man have such special privileges, for accomplishing their work?
The same concepts, you also implement in your own
life. If you do visit a friend’s house, never go inside the house other than
the veranda. For in the future, if that friend faces a spy device scenario as
above, why give a false impression about yourself? Why make yourself a
“suspect” unnecessarily?
… her case against a neighbor who secretly installed video
cameras in her bedroom and bathroom brought about a new law against video
voyeurism.

Fourth
District Attorney Jerry Jones prosecuted
…
"She
said his entering her house and drilling some holes didn't injure her, but both
those acts were against the law," Jones said.
"The
act that really caused her injury (videotaping her) was not against the
law," Jones said, "and that seriously upset her."
…
… it has put such a strain on my family and on me."
The
worst part, she said, was living in a world where this sort of thing happens,
and according to the law, it was perfectly OK.
Wilson

perceived freedom.

not (free) anymore,"

whole experience has been cathartic, she said.
"I
like who I am now. I had always been a people-pleaser."
But through her experiences, and through her children, especially her oldest daughter, she learned that she didn't have to please people all the time.

victim opens up on TV shows. (
If you have a personal desktop computer, cable
network connection etc, ensure all such things, which are susceptible to repair,
are installed in your outer room only. For under no circumstances, should even
a stranger say a technician, be allowed entry into the inner rooms of your
quarters or house.
In certain forms of traditional architecture,
certain outer rooms have open grilled windows, or windows with iron bars, say
toilets. Partially acting as an open ventilator.
Ensure such a room-architecture is avoided. Who knows, maybe a “good” neighbor
with a mental abnormality could jump the fence or boundary wall in the midst of
the night and install some spy devices through that open grille of the window.
That room could even be your private toilet! These days of spy devices, it is
better not to trust even your neighbor. Then the question opens up, who is the real
neighbor? One who helps you in times of crisis. That
is the real neighbor, NOT the one staying next door. Ensure there are no forms
of open grilled windows through which anyone can insert, attach or drop
something inside the room from outside the house.
19 God, who is
king forever,

will hear me and will humble them.
For my enemies refuse to change their ways;
they do not fear God.

“Thou belongest to That Which Is Undying, and not merely to time alone,” murmured the Sphinx, breaking its muteness at
last. “Thou
art eternal,
and not merely
of the vanishing flesh. The soul in man cannot be
killed, cannot die. It waits, shroud-wrapped,
in thy heart,
as I waited,
sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know
thyself, O
mortal! For there is One within
thee, as in
all men, that comes and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!”
