EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING WITH JUST YOUR LEFT EYE,
AND THEN WITH JUST YOUR RIGHT — THE VISUAL SHIFTS,
NOW CONSIDER THIS:
INSTINCTIVE, NON-VERBAL AWARENESS HAS ONE VIEW OF LIFE,
VERBAL, CONCEPTUAL AWARENESS, ANOTHER,
AND THE LATTER VIEW ALWAYS CAUSES A “SHIFT-IN-PERSPECTIVE” FROM THE FORMER ONE,
AND THE DIFFERENT VIEW RESULTING FROM THIS SHIFT IS THE BASIS FOR WHAT
MYSTICS CALL, “SLEEP & DELUSION”.
* * *
IN THOSE LANDS WHICH HAVE NOT YET BANNED THE WORD, “SHOULD”
PEOPLE CONTINUE TO BE ANXIOUS TO ASK: “HOW SHOULD I BE LIVING?”,
AND HERE IS ONE RESPONSE:
YOU SHOULD BE LIVING LIKE A FLOWING RIVER:
THE SURFACE SEEMS TO BE FOREVER CHANGING, YET WATER ITSELF IS ALWAYS THE SAME.
ONE MAN SAYS HE FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT SYSTEMS DEVOTED TO ENLIGHTENMENT
ARE REALLY ALL ABOUT:
HE SAYS THAT IT IS CONTAINED IN THIS SENTENCE:
“WE ARE ALL KNAPSACKS ON A BUS.”,
AND HE SAYS THAT WHILE IT MAY NOT MAKE IMMEDIATE SENSE TO YOU
THAT HE KNOWS. FULL WELL WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT.
* * *
WHEN ONE MAN HEARD THE PHRASE: “WHAT IS ‘HEAVENLY’ IS INTERNAL,-
AND WHAT IS HUMAN IS EXTERNAL.” HE SAID TO HIMSELF:
“THIS AGAIN POINTS TO THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN A MAN’S INSTINCTIVE CONDUCT, AND HIS VERBALIZED CONCEPTIONS…BUT HOW TO EMPLOY THIS TO A PRACTICAL END, SEEMS TO BE THE QUESTION?!?”
* * *
TO EVER FULLY AWAKEN YOU MUST “OUT-LIVE” YOUR DREAMS ABOUT AWAKENING. INSCRIPTION SUITABLE FOR TOO MANY MYSTICS: “I GAVE UP TOO SOON.”
THERE’S NO FOOL LIKE A PARTIALLY EXPERIENCED FOOL, AND NO DECEPTIVE CONCEPTION LIKE ONE SHARED.
***
WHEN ONE MAN HEARD ABOUT SUCH THINGS AS:
“SHARING ONE’S FEELING….SHARING ONE’S FEARS”, ETC,
HE THOUGHT: “I’M SURE GLAD I STOPPED CONFIDING IN MYSELF.”
THERE’S NO FOOLISHNESS LIKE EXPRESSED FOOLISHNESS.
…(SEE: IF DODOS DIDN’T GO OUT IN PUBLIC,
THEY WOULDN’T LOOK SO RIDICULOUS.
…E”SHHH!”, WHISPERED THE OLD MAN, “KEEP IT –TO YOURSELF!”, “WHAT?”, ASKED HIS SON “EVERYTHING.” HE REPLIED.))
* * *
THE “FUNNY MATHEMATICS” OF HUMAN EXISTENCE:
YOU CAN “SUBTRACT” THEREFROM, BUT NOT “ADD” THERETO.
…THE FORMER IS WHAT OCCURS WHEN YOUR PERSPECTIVE SHIFTS FROM THE NON-MENTAL TO THE MENTAL.
TO THE “LITERARY MYSTIC” IT IS NOT HIS ACTUAL WRITING THAT COUNTS, BUT RATHER HIS — EDITING.
* * *
THE MORE ALERT MAN SHOULD BOTH: “LOVE A CHALLENGE”, AND “DEPLORE A CHALLENGE”: LOVING THOSE WITH A POSSIBLE PAY-OFF, AND ESCHEWING THOSE THAT ARE FUTILE.
DON’T DIE AND GIVE UP TOO SOON….ESPECIALLY UNTIL YOU’RE PERSONALLY POSITIVE THAT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN THUS FAR ATTEMPTING THE NON-ACCOMPLISH ABLE.
…(THIS IS WHY MYSTICS’ WHO ARE’ TRULY “GOOD-AND-DEAD” WEAR NO HEADSTONE.)
* * *
ONE ADAM CALLED UP GOD AND ASKED: “CAN I COME BACK HOME?”, “NO.”, HE REPLIED, “NOT UNTIL YOU FULLY ‘LEAVE’ FIRST.” …DON’T “DIE” AND GET BURIED WHERE YOU ARE: NOW —
— IT COULD PROVE TO BE A PRE-MATURE DEPARTURE.
“COME HOME, LITTLE SHEBA! GO AWAY, LITTLE SHEBA.”
AND LITTLE SHEBA CALLED BACK: “WELL WHICH SHOULD I DO?” “BOTH, LITTLE SHEBA, ALWAYS — BOTH!”
DEATH, (IF YOU DIE IN THE WRONG LOCATION), DOESN’T REALLY — COUNT.
ONE MAN HAD A FAX MACHINE BUT HE NEVER USED IT:
HE ALSO HAD A PHONE BUT HE NEVER ANSWERED IT:
HE ALSO HAD A BUNCH MORE STUFF HE TOTALLY IGNORED…
…ALTHOUGH IT DID REHIRE SOME EFFORT. (HA-HA, HA-HA, HA-HA, HA! SEE,
THE JOKE IS IN THE WORD, “SOME” APPLIED TO THE NEEDED EFFORT. HA-HA, HA-HA, HA!.
…AND A BOY SAID TO HIS FATHER: “I DON’T SEE THE HUMOR IN THAT.”,
AND HIS OLD MAN JUST LAUGHED AT HIM.
..(AFTER THE LAD’AD CHEWED ON THIS A BIT, HE RETURNED WITH THE SAME QUESTION:
“I STILL, DON’T GET IT: WHAT’S FUNNY, IN REFERENCES TO EFFORT,
IF YOU QUALIFY IT AS, ‘SOME’ EFFORT?!”, AND THIS TIME HIS FATHER GAVE HIM
A VERBAL REPLY:
“THE HUMOR LIES IN THE FACT THAT YOU CAN’T ADD TO EXISTENCE,
ONLY SUBTRACT THERE FROM,
SO,
THE ONLY KIND OF POSSIBLE EFFORT APPROPRIATE TO A CLEAR HEADED MAN WOULD BE
SOMETHING I SUPPOSE WE’D HAVE TO CALL: ‘NON-SOME EFFORT’, (OR SOME SUCH).”
QUICK!, A POP: “I.Q. TEST”:
CAN YOU CONCEIVE OF: “ACTIVE — NON-PARTICIPATION”?!
* * *
MORE .ABOUT. ..THE;::! “LITERARY MYSTIC”:
AS REGARDS THE LIVES OTHERS SEEM TO BE WRITING FOR THEMSELVES,
THE LITERARY MYSTIC HAS NO CORRECTING FLUID OR EDITING INCLINATION.
* * *
MORE ABOUT — DEATH:
THE FASTEST WAY TO “KILL YOURSELF BEFORE YOUR PROFITABLE TIME”
IS BY GIVING HEED TO YOUR CONCEPTUAL SIDE AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR INSTINCTIVE ONE.
* * *
ONE GUY’S PRIVATE MOTTO WITH HIMSELF WAS: “DON’T TREAD ON ME.”,
TO WHICH HE’D SOMETIMES REPLY: “OKAY, BUT, WHICH — ‘ME’?!?!”
…(AND BY THE WAY: AT INFREQUENT TIMES HE’D EVEN RESPOND BY SAYING:
“ME?’ ME? WHAT A LAUGH — ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!”)
Hoe
AS INVOLVES ANY POSSIBLE “USE” FOR MENTAL ACTIVITY:
THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN “THINKING ABOUT THINKING” IS,
“THINKING ABOUT INSTINCT”,
AND THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN “THINKING ABOUT INSTINCT” IS NOT,
“THINKING ABOUT INSTINCT”.
LEAVE THE CONCEPTUAL WORLD STRICTLY TO ITSELF AND YOU’LL HAVE NO PROBLE-EM-O.

AFTER HEARING THE NEWS ITEM THAT CONCERNED THE PHRASE:
“WHAT IS ‘HEAVENLY’ IS INTERNAL, AND THAT WHICH IS ‘HUMAN’, EXTERNAL.”,
A LAD INQUIRED OF HIS DAD: “SO WHAT IS MEANT BY, “THE HEAVENLY’, & ‘THE HUMAN’?”
AND THE ELDER REPLIED:
“IF I HAD USED SUCH TERMS I WOULD HAVE MEANT, BY THE WORD, ‘HEAVENLY’
SUCH REALITIES AS: WILD LIONS HUNT DOWN THEIR FOOD,
AND BY ‘THE HUMAN’ I WOULD HAVE REFERRED TO SUCH CONCEPTUAL-DRIVEN REALITIES AS:
HOUSE CATS GET THEIR FOOD HANDED TO THEM BY MAN.
NONE OF THIS IS PERTINENT TO THOSE LIVING ROUTINE LIVES,
BUT FOR THE FEW, IT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR THEM TO EXTRACT FROM SUCH VERBALIZATION THEIR OWN RECOGNITION OF THEIR NON-VERBAL INSTINCTIVE SIDE BEING AS ‘HEAVENLY’ WHILE THEIR VERBAL CONCEPTUAL SIDE IS ALL THINGS THAT ARE MOST, ‘HUMAN’ — AND ‘HUMAN’ IN THAT SPECIAL, QUESTIONABLE SENSE,
AS EXPERIENCED BY THE FEW.”
EL FACT-0: AS LONG AS YOUR CONDUCT FITS INTO THE COLLECTIVE NORM
FOLLOWING INSTINCT WILL NEVER LEAD YOU WRONG,
WHILE THE HEEDING OF THE CONCEPTUAL DREAMS IN YOUR HEAD ARE ALWAYS AT BEST, UNPREDICTABLE AND OF DOUBTFUL PERSONAL BENEFIT.
THUS, FROM WHAT HAS JUST BEEN NOTED REGARDING PAST MYSTICAL USE OF THE TERMS, “THE ‘HEAVENLY’ IN MAN”, AND”THE’HUMAN’,THAT IS OUTSIDE OF HIM”,
YOU MIGHT DRAW YOUR OWN ALTERNATIVE CONCLUSION AS TO POSSIBLY WHERE ORDINARY MEN EVER GOT SUCH IDEAS AS THEY NOW, IN SELF-DECEPTION, USE AS A FOUNDATION FOR THE CONCEPTION OF “RELIGION”– A “RELIGION” THAT IS SOMEHOW, EXTERNAL TO MAN.
THE FIELD OF “GASTRONOMY” EXISTS SOLELY IN THE !CONCEPTUAL REALM” -IT IS ONLY IN THE “INSTINCTIVE WORLD” THAT ACTUAL FOOD EXISTS.
MAN’S WORDS SPEAK OF THE, “ART OF EATING”,
BUT IT IS HIS NON-VERBAL SIDE ALONE THAT DOES THE EATING.
(HEY, ARE WE TALKING SERIOUSLY HERE ABOUT, “BEING ASLEEP” & “BEING AWAKE”
(1/13
AND NOW ESPECIALLY FOR ALL OF YOU, “LITERARY STYLED MYSTICS”, SOME REALLY — HIGHBROW HUMOR:
TRYING TO “AWAKEN” VIA YOUR CONCEPTUAL SIDE
IS LIKE A QUADRIPLEGIC TRYING TO, “CHOKE-THE-OLD-CHICKEN”–
…I’M SORRY FRIENDS, BUT IT SIMPLY — CAN’T BE DONE.
…(BY THE BY: I’M TOLD THAT JOHN BUNYAN USED TO BUST-A-GUT LAUGHING AT THIS ONE.
…[YEAH – RIGHT!: I’LL -_-. ‘VANITY-YOUR-FAIR’!])

AND ONE FELLOW, (WITH A FAUX SHEEPISH GRIN ABOUT HIS LIPS) SAYS: “FOR YEARS, (SHAME TO SAY), I MISTOOK’THINKING-ABOUT’ GOING FROM PARIS-TO=ISTANBUL AS
ME ACTUALLY MAKING PROGRESS PERTINENT THERETO — BUT WAIT UP!, MORE SHAMEFULLY STILL IS THE FACT THAT
I EVEN CONCEIVED OF THEIR BEING SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO.
MY MY”, MUTTERED HE, SHAKING HIS HEAD,
“I SHOULD’AVE LISTENED TO — INSTINCT — ALL ALONG.”
AND NOW THIS SHAMEFULLY “LIBERATING”-FACT:
THE ONLY DISTANCE BETWEEN AWAKENED, INSTINCTIVE REALITY, AND,
DROWSY &DISTORTED, “CONCEPTUAL REALITY” IS: WHATEVER DISTANCE YOU CONCEIVE THERE TO BE.
JUST PONDER THE DELICIOUS, REFRESHING TASTE OF THAT:
YOU’RE ONLY AS ASLEEP, DELUDED & CAPTIVE AS YOU CONCEIVE YOURSELF TO BE
INSTINCTIVELY SPEAKING: EVERYONE IS BORN: AWAKE, PERCEPTIVE & FREE,
AND WERE EVERYTHING STILL IN THE HANDS OF “INSTINCT”
WE WOULDN’T EVEN BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.
AND IN CLOSING: THE HIGH PRIEST, (OF: “LOW” HUMOR) GAVE OUR BENEDICTION, (WHATEVER THE CRAP THAT IS): “GO FORTH”, SAID HE, “GO FORTH MY CHILDREN, AND: CONCEIVE NO MORE — NO SIR, MY CHILLENS: GO FORTH IN LIFE AND JUST: – INSTINCT THE HELL OUT OF IT!”
