Three kinds of people get involved with Knowing the Secret: those who say they know, but don’t; those who say they know, and who suspect a little, and those who know, but say nothing. Which one would you like to be? Or do you need additional information before you answer?
“Pa, if silence Is a key ingredient, then what do you say about the intelligence of the life forms that cannot speak?”
“Hey, you don’t think I’m actually gonna fall for that, do you? Jeeze! Gimmie some credit. I gotta be at least as sharp as a fern!”
The Song of the Lion:
“You can try to focus and control your attention, or you can leave it loose to blow mindlessly with the wind. It is all the same to me. Is it all the same to you?”
The “you” your consciousness talks to you about is the imaginary you. Realizing this in its fullness is to swallow all questions in a single gulp.
Corollary:
If you talk about it to yourself, it is meaningless – whatever it is.
“Pa, I don’t get it!”
“Son, best not to think about it.”
