THE DESTINATION LISTED ON THE FRONT OF TONIGHT’S BUS IS ONCE MORE: “THE MIND BY WAY OF INSTINCT….AND: BACK AGAIN.”
FIND A PIG WHO’S AFRAID OF GETTING FAT & WE’LL HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR WHY SOME MEN WANT TO “AWAKEN”.
* * *
THERE’S A SAYING THAT: “WHEN ALL THE DEER ARE DEAD, THE HUNGRY HUNTERS WILL BEGIN TO EAT THE DOGS THEY’D USED TO CHASE THEM” — NOW TELL ME: DO YOU SEE HOW THIS APPLIES TO A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT’S ACTUALLY AFOOT IN THE “SEARCH FOR ENLIGHTENMENT”?!
IN THE LAND OF GIANTS, “STOP SIGNS” ARE ALWAYS WRITTEN IN A SURPRISING SCRIPT.
SO BE AS THE”SCOUTS-OF-THE-COLOSSUS”: BE — “ALWAYS PREPARED” AND:
ALERT ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN YOUR PREPARATION IS, “PAYING OFF”.
* * *
AND NOW FOR TODAY’S: “WORD TO THE WOULD-BE — SHOULD-BE — WISE:
DON’T EVER BOTHER — “RAIDING A CEMETERY”,
BETTER TO MUG A LIVING MAN…EVEN IF HE’S PENNILESS.
* * *
AS REGARDS THE “TICKER TAPE” RUNNING THRU YOUR MIND:
THERE ARE FOUR POSITIONS YOU CAN ASSUME,RELATIVE THERETO:
1. JUST LET THE TAPE AUTOMATICALLY RUNS AS IT IS PROGRAMMED TO DO..— DRAGGING ALONG ALL OF YOUR MENTAL AWARENESS WITH IT.
2. STAND “JUST” ASIDE IT AND ACTIVELY — WATCH IT RUN.
3. WRITE YOUR OWN STORIES FOR THE TAPE, OR:
4. PUT THE TAPE ON “HOLD” THRU A MOMENT-TO-MOMENT EXERCISE-OF-WILL, AND WATCH THE NORMAL FLOW OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS.
AND THE DWARF RAN UP, EXCITEDLY EXCLAIMING:
“IT”S THE -‘SEQUENCE’, BOSS….IT’S THE ‘SEQUENCE’.”
OUR THOUGHTS ARE NOTHING OTHER THAN A REFLECTION OF OUR NATURAL-BORN, INSTINCTIVE NATURE — BUT
REFLECTED THRU A LENS OF — NATURALLY BORN DISTORTION.
NOTHING IS ANY LONGER “AMISS”
IN THE LIFE OF A MAN WHO SEES, ‘BEING ALIVE” FOR WHAT IT IS.
YOU CAN ONLY “BE ASLEEP” AS LONG AS YOU CAN — HEAR YOURSELF “SNORING”.
WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR MIND IS NOTHING MORE THAN REFLECTIONS OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR PHYSICAL BODY — ALTHOUGH: REFLECTED BY A MIRROR OF INTRINSIC — UN-EVENNESS.
* * *
NOW SOME POLITICAL COVERAGE, WHICH IS TOTALLY METAPHORICAL — AND REAL LIFE ALSO: , EN AREAS WHERE LIFE IS STABLE & FLOURISHING, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO IS IN “CHARGE,
THINGS WILL CONTINUE A PACE: ALSO:
EN AREAS WHERE LIFE IS UNSTABLE AND FLOUNDERING,
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO IS IN CHARGE,
THINGS WILL REMAIN CHAOTIC & DESPERATE.
* * *
AND ONE MAN TONIGHT HAS ALREADY ADOPTED HIMSELF A NEW MOTTO TO LIVE BY: “ALL YOU CAN DO IS — ‘WATCH’!”
* * *
ONE MAN HAD A YARD STICK THAT WAS ONLY 33 INCHES LONG,
AT FIRST HE WAS GOING TO THROW IT AWAY,
BUT THEN REALIZED HE COULD STILL USE IT BY SIMPLY ADJUSTING BY THE MISSING 3 INCHES, EVERYTHING HE WANTED TO MEASURE.
AND ONE MAN ACTIVELY EMBRACED THIS SLOGAN: “ALL YOU SHOULD DO IS — WATCH.”
..NO ONLY CAN A CAT LOOK AT A QUEEN, BUT ALSO CAN YOU TURN YOUR
MENTAL ATTENTION ONTO YOUR INSTINCTIVE ACTIVITY WHEREBY FREEING YOURSELF FROM
THE CAPTIVATING ILLUSION THAT THERE ‘ACTUALLY IS SOME “ONE” IN YOUR MENTAL KINGDOM
_”IN CHARGE. WANT PROOF? JUST ‘WATCH.’
ONE OF OUR CORRESPONDENTS SENDS ALONG THIS SOMEWHAT, “SPECULATIVE ITEM”: “TO GO BALD YOU MUST HAVE AN INSTINCTIVE PROPENSITY TO GO BALD:
TO GET FAT YOU MUST HAVE AN INSTINCTIVE PRE-DISPOSITION TO GET FAT:
TO GET ENTANGLED WITH TRYING TO AWAKEN YOU MUST HAVE – LOST YOUR MIND.” (I’M SURE GLAD I INTRODUCED THIS AS “SOMEWHAT SPECULATIVE”, AREN’T YOU?!)
AND A BIT LATER, A MAN PONDERED TO HIMSELF:
“IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A MENTAL, ‘PRE-DISPOSITION’?”
AND I REFER YOU BACK TO A PREVIOUSLY NOTED AREA, (WHICH NOTED):
THE STORIES ON THE TICKER-TAPE RUNNING THRU YOUR MIND
ALL HAVE THEIR SOURCE IN YOUR INSTINCTIVE PHYSICAL NATURE — BUT: THEY HAVE ALL BEEN SUBJECTED TO A RE-WRITE WHICH WAS DONE BY AN EDITOR, SUFFERING FROM WHAT WE COULD CALL A, “MENTAL DEFECT”.
ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A MAN WHO WANTED TO MOVE FROM THE LAND OF: “PRE-DISPOSITION” — BUT,
HE COULD FIND NO PLACE ELSE TO GO.
NOTE: AS VAST AS THE UNIVERSE MAY BE, (REMEMBER THIS), IT STILL ONLY HAS ROOM FOR — ITSELF.
OR, PUT ANOTHER WAY: WHEN YOU’RE “LOOKING FOR YOU” — MENTALLY -JUST WHERE ARE YOU TO LOOK !?!
…THE SOLUTION TO THIS IS THE KEY TO THE DOOR OF FINAL FREEDOM.
* * *
AS REGARDS THAT FANTASTIC JOURNEY OF GOING FROM WHERE YOU ARE NOW, (PARIS),
TO THAT FAR AWAY EXOTIC CITY OF ISTANBUL, CONSIDER THIS:
THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO WAYS OF EXPERIENCING THE PASSAGE:
ONE WAY IS BY SIMPLY THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT IT,
AND THE OTHER ONE IS…WELL — NO ONE KNOWS THAT THE “OTHER ONE” IS.
…SO — THERE!
…OH…OKAY: NOTE: THE UNRAVELING OF THIS CONUNDRUM IS THE
FINAL PIECE IN THE PUZZLE.
SO — “THERE” AGAIN!
THERE IS AN OLD SAYINGS THAT SAYS:
“POTENT MEDICINE IS ALWAYS BITTER.”
BUT HERE IS AN EVEN BETTER, NEW ONE:
“THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS, ‘POTENT MEDICINE’.”
…REMEMBER ALREADY!: IN THE WORLD OF CONCEPTS, NOTHING “WORKS”!
(AND HAVE YOU SO QUICKLY FORGOTTEN THAT:
“ALL ILLS ARE BUT THEIR OWN CURES TURNED INSIDE OUT”?!
BEING REMINDED OF THIS SUDDENLY CAUSED ONE MAN TO THEN ASK HIMSELF [F YOU COULD JUST AS EASILY GO FROM ISTANBUL TO PARIS AS THE OTHER MORE OBVIOUS WAY AROUND
FRESH NOTE: THE OPERATIONAL, (THAT IS: THE USEFULLY) “OBVIOUS” RESIDES SOLELY IN THE REALM OF — INSTINCT.
IN THE WORLD OF CONCEPTS, THAT WHICH SHOULD SEEM “OBVIOUS” IS NEVER DIRECTLY PERCEIVED, AND THAT WHICH THE ORDINARY MINDS-OF-MEN CLAIM TO BE “OBVIOUS” IS ALWAYS NOTHING MORE THAN THE PATENTLY ABSURD AND DECEITFUL.
..AND A FATHER ADVISED A SON: “SO’S ‘TIS BETTER TO NEVER SAY THAT YOU, ‘UNDERSTAND’ A PARTICULAR THING.”
..(AND THE LAD SILENTLY UNDERSTOOD).
* * *
WHEN ONE MAN HEARD THE PHRASE:
“IT’S BETTER TO ALWAYS BE AHEAD OF THE WAVE.”, HE SAID TO HIMSELF: “BETTER STILL TO BE THE WAVE.”
RULE: CHANGE THAT WHICH YOU CAN CHANGE, AND “RIDE” THE REMAINDER.
….(WHICH MENTALLY IS A FORM OF: “WATCHING IT”.
…YEP, THAT’S RIGHT: THE OLD TICKER-TAPE IS STILL A’RUNNIN’,
AND YOU CAN EITHER “FOCUS” ON IT — OR: WHAT’S
PHYSICALLY GOING ON OUTSIDE THAT ROOM [N YOU IN WHICH THE TAPE FOREVER RUNS.
COMBINATION NEW ADAGE: “IT’S BETTER TO ALWAYS BE AHEAD OF THE ‘POTENT MEDICINE’ (WHICH IS ALWAYS BITTER), WHICH DOESN’T ACTUALLY EXISTS ANY-WHO.”
…YES SIR, THERE’S NO TRUTH LIKE THE OLD TRUTH, AND PRAISE BE TO ZEUS THAT THERE IS NO “OLD” TRUTH…NOT ANY THAT’S MENTALLY AVAILABLE, AT ANY RATE.
AND ONCE UPON A TIME, ONE MAN SAID TO HIMSELF: “PERHAPS I’LL SIMPLY:
LIVE ACCORDING TO MY NATURE NAW, THAT’S WAY TOO SIMPLISTIC.”
OKAY: NEW DEFINITION OF AN: ENLIGHTENED MAN”: A MAN WHO’S WAY-Y-Y TOO — SIMPLISTIC.
* * *
WHILEST READING ONE DAY, A MAN CAME UPON THIS LINE:
“BETTER TO NOT READ THAN TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING FOUND IN BOOKS.”
THEN SAID TO HIMSELF: “WHY LIMIT THIS TO BOOKS ?!”,
A QUESTION THAT NEITHER HE NOR THE BOOK IN HIS HAND HAD A READY ANSWER FOR.
SO: LET’S TAKE ON ANOTHER INQUIRY:
WHEN YOU’RE “WATCHING” THE TICKER TAPE OF STORIES RUNNING THRU YOUR MIND
WHY AREN’T YOU AWARE THAT IT IS THE TAPE DOING THE WATCHING?!
…DISCOVERING THE ANSWER TO THIS ONE IS THE DISCOVERY OF THE “SHORT CUT” FROM
PARIS TO ISTANBUL AND BACK !!
* * *
THERE WAS ONCE A MAN WHO “PASSED” FOR “BEING AWAKE” SIMPLY BY TALKING LIKE HE WAS.
NOW — TELL ME BOTH THE “QUESTION-FOR” — AND THE “ANSWER-TO” THAT ONE
…AND SPEAKING OF “WORDS”:
JUST THEN THE GUY WITH THE BOOK CAME ACROSS THIS OTHER LINE (WHICH READ): “BEWARE OF HE WITH THE MOUTH-OF-BUDDHA’, AND THE”HEART-OF-A-SNAKE.”
WHICH INSTANTLY DROVE THE CHAP INTO THE REALIZATION THAT IT WOULD BE EQUALLY AS DANGEROUS TO DEPEND ON A MAN WITH THE “MOUTH-OF-A-SNAKE AND THE”HEART-OF-A-BUDDHA” AND FURTHER INTO THE DEEP SAVANNAH OF PONDERING HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE.?!?
THERE WAS ONCE A MAN WHO “PASSED” FOR “BEING ENLIGHTENED & FREE” JUST BY TALKING, (AND, OH YEAH — THINKING), AS THOUGH HE WAS.
OKAY, LET’S HAVE A SHOW OF HANDS:
WHO REALLY — REALLY — DISLIKES THIS ONE? …(AND I MEAN, REALLY!!
…[COURSE THE HIGHLY INFLAMMATORY QUESTION REMAINS:
EVEN IF YOU DON’T “LIKE IT”…STILL — HOW CAN IT BE?!])
REMEMBER: YOU CAN EITHER, (!.): PASSIVELY ALLOW THE TICKER-TAPE IN YOUR MIND TO RUN ITS PROGRAMMED COURSE, DRAGGING YOUR TOTAL MENTAL AWARENESS ALONG WITH IT, OR, (2.): STAND JUST “ASIDE” IT AND ACTIVELY,”WATCH IT RUN”, OR, (3.): THRU A SECOND-BY-SECOND ACT OF WILL, PUT THE RUNNING ON HOLD AND TURN YOUR AWARENESS STRICTLY TO MATTERS PHYSICALLY OUTSIDE THE TAPE, OR,(4); WRITE YOUR OWN ORIGINAL STORIES & ITEMS TO APPEAR ON THE TAPE…NOW THAT IS WHAT THE “MOUTH-OF-A-BUDDHA”
WOULD DO. ….SO: HOW’S ABOUT YOU?”‘
(AND THE DWARFISH ONE SQUEALED: “IT”S THE – “RUNNING’ BOSS, IT’S THE – RUNNING”!’
