The stay-at-home-mind constantly – STOPS!
It stops at every object or idea it thinks about;
it – stops to think-about the thing. Major mistake!
If thinking about things with your natural born,
self-centered, self-protective, self-interested-only,
stay-at-home-mind had the potential to ever deliver
– THE UNDERSTANDING –
wouldn’t you, and everyone else have it by now?
The stay-at-home-mind is the ultimate couch potato;
the colloquial rube, the rustic boob,
a mental shut-in with delusions of having a world-view.
Everyone’s stay-at-home-mind believes that it properly divines
the true from the false, the real from the unreal,
and that it alone has the right view and appreciation of itself,
and thus its human host.
Living in the grip of this mind is natural, normal,
and what is expected of you by life,
(and by the six billion other souls around you
trapped in the same grip).
Cows want to hear only mooing,
and each cow expects to have naught but
bovine-appropriate thoughts pass thru its head (or — be laid on it!)
A man with THE KNOWLEDGE got it thru a
–WANDERING-MIND –
by way of a mind that, left the house,
went outside, and stayed outside;
a mind that did not STOP when it thought about a thing —
but always stayed on the move;
forever carrying with it the infinite number of ways that
the thing could be thought about, and not confined to
how it would be thought about back home,
using the stay-at-home’s constrictive perspective.
