MORE RE MAN’S “NATURE, (WHAT YOU ARE), AND HIS DREAMING, (WHAT HE DREAMS HE IS)
YOUR FIRST MISSTEP IS IN TAKING YOUR OWN DREAMS TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN DREAMS: YOUR SECOND STUMBLE IS IN TAKING THE DREAMS EXPRESSED BY OTHERS TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DREAMS THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE.
YOU COULD PICTURE THE ORIGINAL SOURCE OF DREAMING TO BE IN THE EXTERNAL WORLD, BUT THEN YOU MUST PICTURE YOUR OWN PRESENT INTERNAL WORLD AS BEING WHERE THEY ARE NOW SUSTAINED.
….(AND HOW WOULD YOU PREFER TO PICTURE THIS SUSTAINING BEING POSSIBLE -THRU YOUR WEAKNESS, OR THRU YOUR FOLLY?!
..[A TOUGH QUESTION FOR TOUGH TIMES, HUH?!])
* * *
YOUR “NATURE” HAS A SET NUMBER OF THINGS TO “DO”,
WHILE YOUR DREAMING HAS NO SUCH LIMITATIONS CONCERNING THE MANY IMAGINARY THINGS IT BELIEVES IT HAS TO DO.
QUERY: TO WHICH OF THESE WOULD AN ALERT MAN GIVE HEED?!
* * *
CONTRARY TO ACCEPTED WISDOM: OBJECTIVELY, THERE IS NO “WRONG THINKING”, NOR IS THERE
ANY “RIGHT THINKING” — THERE IS ONLY YOUR DREAMING,
AND IN THIS AREA, THE CLOSEST THERE IS TO A MATTER OF “RIGHT OR WRONG”
IS IN THE MATTER OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE RELENTLESSLY AWARE OF YOUR DREAMING.
* * *
ANOTHER VERSION OF AN APPROACH PREVIOUSLY MENTION WHEREBY, RATHER THAN USING SUCH METHODS AS, “REMEMBERING YOURSELF”, “BEING PRESENT IN THE MOMENT” ETC,
YOU SIMPLY TURN YOUR EYES INWARDLY, LIP TO YOUR HEAD AND SAY:
“OKAY, I’M AWAKE NOW, JUST RELAX AND STOP THE “CHURNING”.”
…AND WITH THIS, WE COULD AGAIN TOUCH ON THE SUBJECT OF “UNSCRUPULOUS STOCK BROKERS AND PICTURE YOUR DREAMING AS THE “CHURNING UP OF YOUR NATURE’S ACCOUNT”,
WHEREBY, DREAMING ENGAGES IN CONSTANTLY TRADING — TRADING THAT IN FACT,
BENEFITS ONLY ITSELF.
…AND WHILE HERE, WE COULD ALSO PICTURE “DREAMING” AS A BROKER’S IMPROPER, “CO-MINGLING OF YOUR FUND WITH HIS” , (THAT IS, BETWEEN YOUR NATURE &YOUR DREAMING)
ALL-IN-ALL, JUST REMEMBER IT IN THIS WAY: WHEN YOU’RE DREAMING, YOUR DREAMS ARE ENGAGED IN CONSTANTLY “TRADING” THAT BENEFITS ONLY THE “DREAM-BROKER).
A MAN ASKED A CERTAIN DOG, (LONG REPUTED TO BE ENLIGHTENED), HOW HE SPENT HIS TIME, AND THE CANINE REPLIED:
“AS CARS GO BY — I DO NOT CHASE THEM.
…WHAT, OTHER THAN THAT, WOULD AN INTELLIGENT CREATURE DO?!”
* * *
AND NOW: ANOTHER QUESTION: IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WHAT MYSTICS ARE ACTUALLY,
UNWITTINGLY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF, “BEING HAPPY” IN THEIR DREAMING ?!
WHEN SUCH EXISTS SOLELY IN THEIR “NATURE”.
…(WEIRD POSSIBILITY, HUH?’ OR ELSE: NOT SO WEIRD AT ALL. HUH?!)
* * *
IF YOU COULD, (OR PERHAPS, WOULD), AT EVERY MOMENT,
LOOK INSIDE YOUR OWN HEAD, YOU WOULD FIND THAT WHENEVER YOU’RE “DREAMING” —
— THERE IS NO ONE IN THERE.
SIMPLY PUT: THAT IS ANOTHER DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IT IS TO, “BE ASLEEP”,
AND WHEN THIS SITUATION IS NO LONGER THE CASE, THIS IS,”BEING AWAKE”.
* * *
A CERTAIN MYSTIC SAID: “CURING THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY DREAMING IS SIMPLE: EITHER: STOP DREAMING — OR: WAKE UP TO THE DREAMING,”, AND A LISTENER INQUISITIVELY SO_REACTED: “I NOTICE YOU SAID: ‘WAKE LIP TO THE DREAMING’ , RATHER THAN: ‘WAKE UP FROM THE DREAMING’?!”, TO WHICH THE MYSTIC RESPONDED: “YOU ARE AN ALERT LISTENER.”
* * *
NOTHING HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH AWAKENING IN FACT,
ANYTHING SAID OR THOUGHT ABOUT IT — CAUSES SLEEP.
* * *
YOU DREAM — THE AWAKENED DREAM — BUT THE DREAMING OF THE AWAKENED IS PART OF THEIR AWARENESS.
WHAT GOES ON CONTINUALLY, AND NORMALLY
WITHIN MEN’S HEADS IS SO “QUESTIONABLE” THAT MOST ARE LOATH TO DISCUSS IT.
* * *
AND NOW A REAL LIFE SCENE, SO SHOCKING — SO UNEXPECTED, AND SO-0 REVEALING THAT YOU WILL NEVER HEAR OF IT BEING ACTUALLY PLAYED OUT:
A MAN ASKED A MYSTICAL TEACHER: “WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A,’METAPHYSICAL GURU’?” AND HE REPLIED: “YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO — TALK GOOD.”, AND THE MAN ASKED: “WHAT ELSE?”, AND THE MYSTIC SAID: ” WELL…IF YOU’RE GONNA WRITE, IT HELPS IF YOU CAN WRITE GOOD.”, AND THE MAN PRESSED ON: “THERE MUST BE MORE TO IT THAN THAT!” “WELL”, RESPONDED THE MYSTIC, “IT HELPS IF YOU’RE RELATIVELY, ‘GOOD LOOKING’.”, AND WITH THAT THE MAN ANGRILY INSISTED: “COME ON! — THERE’S GOTTA BE MORE TO IT THAN WHAT YOU’VE TOLD ME.”, AND THE GURU SCRATCHED HIS HEAD THOUGHTFULLY, SQUINTED UP ONE EYE REAL GOOD, CHEWED ON HIS LOWER LIP A BIT, THEN SAID:
“NO-0-0 I CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE.”
* * *
A MAN WHO STILL BELIEVES THAT THERE IS SOME BENEFIT TO BE HAD FROM SOME OF HIS DREAMING, IS, (I REGRET TO TELL YOU),A MAN STILL BAMBOOZLED BY SOMNUS. …(HE STILL BE — FAST A-SNOOZIN’.)
* * *
THE DIETARY PROBLEM WITH DREAMING IS THAT: DREAMS ARE ALL “EMPTY _CALORIES.”
* * *
HERE IS AN ALERT MAN’S “ADVANCED VERSION” OF AN EARLIER STATED “SOMETHING”, (THE IDEA STATED AS): “WE ARE WHAT WE ARE,
AND THEN WE ‘DREAM-OF-WHAT-WE-ARE’ BASED ON THAT.”,
(THE MORE DIRECT, PRACTICAL PICTURE OF IT BEING:
“DO NOT MISTAKE YOUR DREAMING OF “WHAT-YOU-ARE” — FOR — “WHAT YOU ARE”, AND YOU WILL HAVE NO FURTHER PROBLEMS.
…AND DO FURTHER TAKE THIS UNDER ADVISEMENT RE YOUR “NATURE” & YOUR “DREAMING”: WHEN I SAY THAT: “YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE AND NOTHING CAN EVER BE DONE TO CHANGE THAT” DO BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE NO VALID, “STATEMENTS ‘IN’REALITY” SUCH AS:
“NOTHING CAN EVER BE DONE TO CHANGE THAT.”
ALL-IN-ALL, I REMIND YOU THAT:
NOTHING HAS
ANYTHING TO DO WITH
AWAKENING !
….AND IN FACT:
ANYTHING SAID OR THOUGHT ABOUT AWAKENING CAN ONLY CAUSE SLEEP.
THE NATURE OF “SLEEP” IS THE SAME AS
THE NATURE OF AWAKENING.
JUST ‘THINK-ABOUT-IT” —
EVERYONE”S ALREADY HOME
WHETHER THEY REALIZE IT OR NOT.
…SO WHY NOT — REALIZE IT ?!
SIMPLY, “DON’T DREAM”,
THEN YOU CAN’T BE ASLEEP — AND APPARENTLY, “MIS-PLACED.”
IMAGINE THAT IN A CERTAIN PART OF YOUR BODY, YOU HAD A SLIGHT, BUT CONSTANT PAIN,
WHICH, THOUGH ANNOYING WAS_NOT PHYSICALLY INJURIOUS, BUT WHICH PROVED
TO BE INCURABLE.
QUERY: IN SUCH A SITUATION, WHAT WOULD BE AN INTELLIGENT PERSON’S OBVIOUS COURSE OF ACTION ?
NOTHING HAS
ANYTHING AT ALL “TO DO WITH” — BEING AWAKE: BEING AWAKE IS NOT “RELATIVE TO” — ANYTHING.
TO “BE AWAKE” IS TO MERELY BE “CONSTANTLY-EXPERIENCING”
THE SINGULARITY-OF SIMPLY — “BEING ALIVE”.
