YOU REMEMBER THE RECENT STORY ABOUT A MAN WHO FELT EMBARRASSED WHEN HE WOULD
WALK DOWN A BUSY PUBLIC STREET, AND WHO ULTIMATELY CONCLUDED THAT HE COULD EITHER:
“BE LOST IN THE SELF-CONSCIOUS DREAMING”, OR ELSE: “BE LOST IN THE WALKING”,
WELL SOMEONE WHO HEARD IT PRESENTED THIS QUESTION:
“WOULD NOT BEING-LOST-IN-THE-WALKING’ BE AS MUCH AS FORM OF BEING ASLEEP
AS WOULD BE, ‘BEING-LOST-IN-THE-DREAMING”?!”, AND THE ANSWER IS, “NO”,
IN THAT YOUR “NATURE” CANNOT “SLEEP” IN THE METAPHYSICAL SENSE–
— THIS IS WHY “DOING” IS INCOMPARABLY OF MORE IMPORTANCE THAN ALL OF THE TALKING, TEACHING,AND DREAMING OF ENLIGHTENMENT POSSIBLE FOR A MAN.
* * *
TO NOT REALIZE THAT THE BRAIN IS AS MUCH A “HABIT-DRIVEN-ORGAN” AS IS THE LIVER,
LUNGS AND KIDNEYS, IS TO FOREVER BE SUBJECT TO A TOTALLY FUTILE VIEW OF A
PARTICULARLY NASTY VARIETY THAT IS, ASSUMING THAT YOU TRULY DO WHAT TO
FINALLY SEE WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON IN LIFE.
* * *
IF “BEING ASLEEP” IS AN ILLUSION, THEN SO IS “BEING AWAKE”….WHAT SAY YE TO THIS?
* * *
IN THIS UNIVERSE THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF MYSTICAL TEACHERS: THE REAL & THE FAKE. THE FAKE ONES OFFER TEACHINGS OF THE MYSTICAL,
WHILE THE REAL ONES KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO BE TAUGHT.
* * *
IN THE WORLD OF DREAMING, THE HABITUAL & STALE.WILL FOREVER OVERCOME THE UNFAMILIAR & REFRESHING —
— THE STALE, HABITUAL ACTIVITY IN THE DREAMING WORLD WILL IN FACT,
OVERCOME EVERYTHING, EXCEPT “DOING” — WHICH IS WHY AWAKENING IS SOMETHING THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED THRU ACTION, AND NOT BY ANY INVISIBLE, NON-PHYSICAL COMMOTION
IN THE HEAD.
* * *
BELIEVING THAT THERE ARE “CONDITIONS” THAT CAUSE YOUR CONDITION DILL KEEP YOU FOREVER IN YOUR CONDITION.
/12.- g
THERE IS IN TRUTH, BUT ONE PROFITABLE MYSTICAL, DISCIPLINE, METHOD, APPROACH, OR SYSTEM, AND IT IS CALLED:
“A THOROUGH PERSONAL INVESTIGATION OF THE MATTER FOLLOWED BY
A TOTAL REALIZATION OF THE ILLUSIONARY STATUS OF THE WHOLE AFFAIR.”
SUCH A NAME FULLY DESCRIBES THE STUDY & SUBSEQUENT UNDERSTANDING OF MAN’S: “SILLY LITTLE WORLD OF DREAMING”.
* * *
IN THE AREA OF OUR “NATURE”, HABIT IS A GODSEND,
IN OUR CONSCIOUSNESS,(ALTHOUGH HARMLESS TO THE MAJORITY), IT IS, (TO THE MYSTICAL FEW),
A SINGULAR BANE.
* * *
EVERYONE “TALKS ABOUT THE WEATHER” FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT THEY CAN
“DO NOTING” ABOUT IT
….THE SAME REASON THAT MEN TALK ABOUT THEMSELVES.
NOTE: “DREAMING” ABOUT “CHANGE” — BARS CHANGE.
BRUSH ASIDE DREAMING & WATCH YOUR NATURE RUN ITS COURSE.
QUERY: HOW ELSE CAN YOU POSSIBLY DESCRIBE AN ENLIGHTENED MAN OTHER THAN TO SAY THAT: “HE ACTS – NATURALLY” ?!
* * *
IN THIS FIELD OF ACTIVITY:
TO SAY THAT, “THINGS ARE DIFFICULT”, OR THAT, “THINGS ARE EASY”, ARE EQUALLY FALLACIOUS, MISLEADING STATEMENTS.
TO ACHIEVE “NOTHING” — REQUIRES, “NOTHING”….SAVE YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
…DO NOTE: NOTHING CAN “MISLEAD” A MAN OTHER THAN “WORDS” -AND NOTHING CAN SO MISLEAD A MAN UNLESS HE BE DREAMING.
…AND A BOY ASKED HIS FATHER: “CAN A MAN’S ‘NATURE’ EVER MISDIRECT HIM?”, AND THE ELDER REPLIED: “GO ASK THE DEAD.”, AND THE LAD SAID:”BUT I HAVE NO INTEREST IN THE DEAD — ONLY THE LIVING”, AND HIS FATHER RESPONDED ‘THEN — ‘LIVE’ YOURSELF, &, STOP TALKING ABOUT SUCH FOOLISH IDEAS AS THE POSSIBILITY THAT MAN CAN BE — ‘MISDIRECTED’.”
IN THIS AREA OF ACTIVITY:
THERE ARE NO, “MIS-DIRECTIONS” — NOR ANY CORRECT ONES EITHER —
— ALL THAT THERE IS IS: YOU SEEING WHAT’S
INDESCRIBABLY, “GOING ON”.
…AND FURTHER NOT,:(AS YOU STEP OVER THE LIFELESS BODIES):
ONLY A DEAD MAN WILL STAY STILL LONG ENOUGH TO BE ADEQUATELY DESCRIBED.
…AND A MYSTIC SAID TO A BEGINNER:
“TRYING TO ENLIGHTEN’THAT-WHICH-DOES-NOT-EXIST’
CAN LEAD BUT TO — NO WHERE.” AND THE NOVICE REPLIED: “WHEN YOU SAY: ‘THAT-WHICH-DOES-NOT-EXIST’
AM I TO TAKE IT THAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO MY, ‘ME’?!”, AND THE EXPERIENCED-ONE REPLIED:
“YOU’VE GOT IT’ IF YOU HAD A ‘YOU’ TO – ‘GET IT’.”
ACCORDING TO THE “UNWRITTEN RULES OF THIS ROAD”:
IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO TRY AND AWAKEN FOR LIP TO FORTY-FIVE YEARS
WHILE NOT ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU ARE DOING —
— BUT AFTER THAT! —
IT’S REALLY TIME TO “SHAPE-LIP” — “SNAP-OUT-OF-IT”,
AND FINALLY SEE WHAT THIS IS TRULY
ALL ABOUT.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING: “HOW TO ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT”:
THE USEFUL, AND THE USELESS:
THE USELESS VARIETY ACTUALLY PRESENTS SUCH INSTRUCTIONS,
WHILE THE USEFUL TYPE OPERATES ON THE KNOWLEDGE THAT NO SUCH INSTRUCTIONS EXIST —
…THEY MUST BE “MADE-UP”, OUT OF THIN AIR AS IT WERE,
…SAME AS THE IDEAS THEMSELVES OF_EITHER, “BEING ENLIGHTENED”,
OR “BEING DELUDED.”
NOTE: MAN IS BY “NATURE”,
NATURALLY — NON-DELUDED:
IT IS ONLY, ONCE HE BEGINS DREAMING-ABOUT–SUCH-NOTIONS AS:
“BEING AWAKE”, & “BEING ASLEEP”
THAT HE ENTERS A REALM IN WHICH HE CAN “IMAGINE HIMSELF” TO BE — DELUDED.
QUERY: DOES NOT THE SIMPLE SOLUTION TO, “BEING DELUDED & MISDIRECTED” OFFER ITSELF TO YOU
IN PLAIN SIGHT ?!
A MAN ONE DAY SO PONDERED:
“WHAT IF I COULD “HEAR” MY NATURE TALKING TO ME THE SAME AS I HEAR MY DREAMING?!?’
AH SIR, BUT YOU CAN — IF YOU WOULD BUT
STOP LISTENING TO YOUR DREAMING.
…”AH – I KNEW THAT.”, (HE GRUMBLED IN RESPONSE.)
AND ON ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MAN SAID TO HIMSELF:
“IF ALL THAT TAKES PLACE IN MY HEAD IS, “DREAMING”
THEN BY WHAT DREAMING WILL I TAKE HOLD OF ALL MY OTHER DREAMING
SO AS TO ACHIEVE SOME CHANGE IN THE SITUATION?!”
NO ONLY DOES: “NOTHING FROM NOTHING LEAVE NOTHING.”,
BUT ALSO — “INFINITE NOTHINGS ADDED TO
EXISTING NOTHING.”
THUS IT BE THAT ALL EXTRAORDINARY, MYSTICAL & METAPHYSICAL IDEAS ARE “NOTHING” BUT MOREOVER — ONLY THE ORDINARY WORLD THAT YOU SEE IS AN EXCEPTION
YOUR NATURE EXISTS — YOUR DREAMS ONLY PRETEND THAT THEY DO
…WHICH OF COURSE, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO FOOL ANYONE….WHO MIGHT BE — ASLEEP.
AND A BOY ASKED HIS FATHER: “CAN THE FINAL OUTCOME OF ALL THE EFFORTS & IDEAS
OF THOSE SEEKING ENLIGHTENMENT
ACTUALLY BE
AS SIMPLE AS YOU SOMETIMES MAKE IT SOUND?!”,
AND THE ELDER REPLIED BY ASKING:
“AND JUST HOW SIMPLE DOES IT SEEM TO SOUND?”,
BUT THE LAD WAS,(BY NOW),
TOO SMART TO FALL FOR THAT.
QUERY: WHY ASK YOURSELF — ANYTHING ?!?! — AFTER ALL:
YOU KNOW FULL WELL, (BY NOW), THAT THERE ARE NO “ANSWERS” —
— THERE IS ONLY THE UN-SPEAKABLE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE NON-DREAMERS HAVE ABOUT THEIR OWN “NATURE”.
NOTE: YOUR “NATURE” IS — SIMPLE,
IT IS YOUR DREAMING THAT IS INCURABLY COMPLEX & UNNECESSARILY CONFUSING.
NO ONE FORCES YOU TO “SLEEP” — IF YOU ARE DREAMING, YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF.
