At a recent event, His Holiness Karmapa Thaye Dorje was asked the following question:

'Your Holiness, what is stopping me from realizing my true nature, the Buddha nature?'

His Holiness' response:

'Perhaps it is a lack of a sense of adventure that is holding us back from realizing our true nature. It is easy to get used to the mundane life, the daily routines. As a result, we don't want to let go of our familiar atmosphere, the life that we are used to. We are missing a sense of adventure.

I think this is rooted in a deep fear: a fear of facing ourselves; a fear of knowing exactly who we are. It is almost like saying we fear looking at ourselves in the mirror and seeing our own reflections.

> I hate code like:
> logger.log(:debug, "some msg") unless logger.nil?

That is why my debugging or logging routines normally look like this
```
def logger *args
   return unless $LOGGING
   ....
end
```

## key repetition vintage-mode
http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html

In OsX-Lion, holding down a key won't repeat it, but will instead show a popup menu to select between character variations. This doesn't work well with command mode, so you may want to disable it. This can be done via entering this at the terminal:
% defaults write com.sublimetext.[2|3] ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

SHORTCUTS:
  curser in word or marked word:
     ctrl-cmd-g   --> select every occurence of that word
     cmd-d        --> select next occurence
