THE WEEK’S STRONG FINISH:
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, one man would arise at 4 am; eat nothing and meditate all day. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays he would sleep ‘til noon; drink all day and party all night. Half the time he was awake, but he couldn’t determine which half. (That’s how he spent Sundays; pondering that question…that and bemusing over the whole affair.)
At every given moment – at every place on this planet – only two things are going on. People are doing things and people are telling stories. Get over it!
Trying to awaken is like being a character in a work of fiction…who is trying to explain the character of the author.
If you are doing this properly, you are a constant mental threat to yourself. Many speak quite highly of the ability to, “control yourself.” But ask yourself, how is such a thing possible? How can YOU control YOUR self, and on top of that: how is it possible for you to even ask yourself such a question? (What the hell’s going on with this, “inside-man’s-head thing any way”?)
