Inside of every planet, is another planet.
Inside of every creature is another creature.
Inside of every mind is another mind.
And inside of every reality is another reality…… But truth is it would be more precise to say that Outside of everything is another version of itelf.
…(Except that this view demands of ordinary thought, abilities which it does not posess.
Thus you’re left with the standard model of a trickle down creation which offers little in the way of revelation to the puddle at the bottom.
And even after riding the train for a number of years, one man would periodically look out the window, with his reflection in the glass— and wonder: “Is It actually possible that everything I believe I know, I have backward?!
..(Some men seem able to “enjoy” this notion much better than others… Or, maybe it’s the man Outside of some men who’re able to do so.)

If at any moment you are not conscious of Being conscious you are simply a cow or a sheep with thoughts running through you.
…And a viewer writes:
“I take great exception to things you say such as that, for I do not believe that God or Jim Henson can stick their hand up several billion cows at the same time! …(Can they?!?!”)

There was once a species that lived in the midst of a fog.
And preiodically one of them would realize this and discover how to step out of it.
But if he tried to tell others about this find, few were ever interested.
One man finally came to the conclusion that the only stories he really enjoyed were those which he did not at first understand.
Explorers’ clubs and mystical schools come into being to accommodate those weary of the chase.
Thus it be (if you can see), that all Talk of triumph is to compensate for the lack of victory.
And a man mused:
“The grand ‘anti-stupifying factor’ of the quest, surely is the fact that you don’t know exactly what you’re searching for.
And you sure don’t know for certain what direction to initially take.
I just love it!”
Added he, (Speaking perhaps for many……………..But perhaps not.)

In the dark of night a voice was heard: “Man! its weird being here with you.” Then another voice: “Who said that?”
And the first voice replied: “It must have been you — There’s nobody here but us.”
And the second voice thought: “Man, he’s right! — This Is weird!”
…By the way, all you sane people out in TV land can save yourselves some postage by not writing in to complain about stories like this one.

When one man realized that in the physical, survival sense –
-“His foot was nailed to the floor” –
He took a lesson therefrom and began trying to fasten down his attention.
Do Note:
There is a difference in this sort of activity between mere staring and a securing of consciousness that is anything but mere.
One way to think of it is the distinction between Life saying: “Look over here.” – and you do! –
And your own ability to tell Yourself – where to look.
And are we not back again to the matter of: Collective consciousness vs. the the individual version?!
A Travel Caution (as if you needed another):
It’s difficult to get the mind interested in a plane ticket when it believes it can already fly.

As told by the myths of one group: When you die and go before the Lord of creation, as your reward, you get to ask him two questions –
Two questions that is, if you’ve been a bad boy! –
….It’s three or more of you’ve been good

In one land, whenever a new child was brought before the king, for him to bless, he would instead — throw it out a window.
And until they realized the metaphorical nature of this act, the people were somewhat dismayed by this act.
“Knock, knock.”, said some thoughts.
“Who’s there?”, Asked the mind,
“uh-oh!”, Thought the thoughts, “The jig’s up.”

There was once a cargo ship upon whose deck was an important cargo –
The cargo, in truth, wasn’t as valuable as the ship, but all who stood on deck would always see it otherwise.
‘Tis none but the ordinary who’ll think: “I am captain of my fate.” –
The illustrious few seek only to eliminate the illusionary separation between themselves And fate.
A man wrote to Life and asked: “How can you speak of things that can not be spoken of?”,
And Life replied : “Don’t try.”
96059-9
The speaker addressed the crowd:
“The way to diminish the possibility of ever seeing is to continually look in the wrong places.”
And someone in the audience replied: “Well, everybody knows that.”
To which the speaker responded: “Yes, but one can’t ever be reminded of it too often.”
And as best they could, the crowd roared (or at least mumbled) their approval.

There was once an automobile that went completely mad –
Believing that its headlights were its source of propulsion.
..,And a car fancier writes: “I do not know whether the above was meant literally or intended metaphorically, aimed at man, but in either case – I must say – I do not care for it at all! – No sir, not one little milli-bit!”
The simple (to remain sane), must defend simple things.

No matter how you put it — Most people never get it.
96059-11
The awareness of a herd can never be that exactly of an individual cow. – But! —
As long as you’re part of a herd (Not-to-worry. Be-thankful. Don’t-sweat-it.), You’ll never know this.
…Hey, I just told you: No matter what you do, most people never get it. Chill.
96059-12
There is an ancient writing that says: Far before man’s known history, this planet was connected to a second one.
And that the two nourished one another –
And while you think that you’ve probably never heard this before, reconsider the story of God driving man from his original home, or if you’re really good –
The whole schmeer of man’s mind coming up with the concept Of God.
And finally – Stepping off the train and not knowing where he was headed, he proudly annunced: “Let the games begin!”
In the high noon darkness of a most unusual day, a voice was heard to say: “It’s quite surprising to find You here!”,
To which the instant you (equally as unexpected), had no reply and thus, the games Were able to begin……………….Anew.

On a certain world the people were born with a mild poison in their blood, whose strength diminished as they aged.
A process which (although most were never aware of the poison’s presence in the first place), they found quite agreeable — That is!,
Except for a curious few — Who, even though they could not say that they found it Dis-agreeable, nonetheless weren’t satisfied with it occurring automatically –
Beyond the range of their conscious participation therein.
Put another way:
If it turns out that after you die, everyone becomes more conscious, the mystical few will still be miscontent, forever wondering what it could have been like had they personally pushed it a bit further.
….And a local sherriff mused: “Ah doggies! –
Don’t that sound just like those gall-dang mystics! — Not even satisfied being dead!”
96059-14
Life, wanting to speed up the rate of growth on one world with thinking creatures, sent down Local Conditions with these instructions:
“Make things complicated for ’em.”
…Conversely:
There is a quite ancient, most obscure legend (with no basis whatsoever), that says that there was once a small band of men on this planet, who put together a vehicle which they managed to launch from here up to Life.
…(Its fate and purpose, I’d rather not go ointo right now.)

Query: What in truth (could it occur),
would be the greatest danger to civilization?
– The mind of man ever comprehending what it was about.
96059-16
As the prince sent off a knight on the mystical quest, he gave him two bullets with the instructions that should he use but the two, Not to return.
– And yes, it seems to make little sense at first blush and ’tis only after much time on the trail that it may begin to do so.
And Now Some Health News
Just by being sick, one guy could make himself sick.
…(“What else need a man to know?!”, Moaned a warrior in a ditch beside the road, without a scratch on him.)

Picture it like this:
Life always appears arcane & complex from the collective view, for consider: You’re looking at things through several billion sets of eyes simultaneously.
…Is it any wonder that men have so much to say about what they think they see?!
96059-18
Local Conditions seemed somewhat surprised that on one planet, to make ferrets more ferret like, they must first be berated for their ferretness.
And with the sun straight up, as the unorthodox gunfighter strolled down the dusky street to meet his inevitable event, he softly sang: “Please don’t forgive me, oh my darling…”
Another way to perceive this distinction between the city-spiritual, and the mystics-in-the-wild-?! –
One seeks pardon and the other to stabilize the hurricane’s center.
And a viewer writes:
“It would seem to me and my wife, that the least you could do is to have enough intellectual respect for metaphors not to (at the last moment) mangle them as you just did.
Most truly yours”, etc.
96059-19
The mind stands on consciousness – And consciousness does not complain —
….(At least with most folks.)

Man’s original timepiece was with hormones – But proved too precise for city needs, hence his development of others.
96059-21
In the routine scheme:
Anything men can think of, they can imagine is possible to have.
(Which from one view kinda takes the starch outta-the-sails and wind outta your shirt.)
The sole exception to this being, an individual state of consciousness.
There was once an unusual sole on foot, which was pestered by the contunal idea that it might be able to not stand where it was right now!
…And now…..Then now….. And now again….
If there is one serious mislabeling of mystics, it is in calling them “dreamers”.
— ‘Tis scarcely possiible to be further from the reality of who they are and what they do.
96059-22
Mentally the idea of the future, survives by men speaking of it always a near
fait-accompli.
96059-23
As long as your consciousness of things is limited to that of the collective, nothing ever explains itself or makes conclusive sense.
….”The herd seems restless tonight Ringo.” “…That’s not cattle Cheyenne,that’s….” “Oh! – gotcha, Ringo — It’s just my mind.”
Away from the bright lights of the inner city, many things hidden, become clear (Away from the city in man. – Not the inner area of an actual city.)
And the Vanguard Neural Frontier Singers began to sing:
“Home, home on the no-particular-place…”
96059-24
One day a brain and lungs were chatting and the brain said:
“You’ve really got it easy –
All the time just: In, out — In, out –
— Nothing more complicated than that.”,
And the lungs thought:
“I’m not going to reply and dignify such stupidity coming from the likes of him. — Especially obvious — likes-of-him.”
(You reckon if the brain could ‘ave read his thoughts, that it’d a got it?)
One chap began to wonder if it is indeed just a cosmic accident that men find themselves on a spherical structure (?!?)
96059-25
The collective consiousness if man is scattered, diffused and unfocused.
Not at all what is useful for the discovery of the secret.
96059-26
There was once a land where the creatures in control had to pretend to be more in control than they were, to stay in control.
96059-27

One grandfather’s note to his adult grandson: “If you can’t tell how old you are, you’re at the right age.”
Which the younger understood was not in reference to physical chronology.

One myth tells of a famous conscious person who the local people decided to execute –
— To which the conscious one didn’t really object, as long as in them doing so, they didn’t begin to take him seriously.
“Never mind the spikes.”, Said Caiaphas to the centurion, “We’ll hang him up with our feigned approval.”
Which in the mind, while asleep on Skull Mount, will always succeed.
— Yet then: He who so dreamed, suddenly awoke.

There was once a hospital in which the lab ran two shifts – One examined the outsides of things and the other the insides.
But what was curious was that none of those involved seemed aware of the two separate shifts.
.„And a viewer writes:
“You very often paint scenes of some human activity
and finish it off by saying that even those involved weren’t conscious of what was going on, nor understood their participation therein, but I don’t think you’re serious in this! –
— So why do you keep sticking these insincere endings on to the stories?!” -Well, my God sir! –
I do have some concern for other people’s visual health!
Now A Grammar Update
In the mystic’s dictionary, the word “I” is only found as an example under the definition of: “metaphors & other figures of speech .”

And finally –
For all of the little buckaroos in our audience who enjoy the allegory of collective man and his consciousness as a herd of cattle, picture it pushed further, with those attempting to individualize their consciousness as cow pokes — Lassooing themselves.
