The Most Illusive Muses


No mind – no way to awaken, still is life so stacked that their own sincere, (we assume), minds will ignore this – even after having been advised about it – and will confuse and try to inappropriately use the different energies and intelligence of the body and the mind to achieve their anomalistic, unnecessary and purely extraordinary goal.

Training your body to become a champion athlete will not teach your mind math, nor will the study of athletic manuals make you an athlete.  Everyone knows this, but right there in the midst of the first twenty-five words in this sentence, stands clearly hidden an ultimate hobble to a would be head-thoroughbred’s escape from the stable.


In trying to pursue this most elusive of all muses, (the mind’s realization of itself), people look to the body to do things it cannot do while ignoring what it can contribute to the effort, and look sadly to the mind to do what it does all too well:  add new made-up stuff to its already stuffed, made-up repertory.  Unwittingly it is as though: “If I can just collect a few more Zzzzz’s, I will discover how to awaken from this sleep.”

Everyone rides a rhino while holding a macaw in their hand, and those hungry for a more exciting jaunt are inclined to pursue this aim by giving their attention to the bird; but if the bird was as smart as the rhino is already, they would be there already.

 

What was just noted is hard, confusing, complex, and yet it is as plain and simple as can be.

Since only the mind can go-to-sleep without it being noticed,
why not put in charge someone immune thereto.
