THE NEWS FOR JANUARY 16, 1999
YOU MAY CERTAINLY PICTURE THOUGHTS AS BEING LIVING ENTITIES WITH THEIR OWN SEPARATE EXISTENCE AND LIVES APART FROM MAN, AND FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE YOU COULD ALSO,
INSTEAD OF SEEING THOUGHTS AS THE “POLLUTANTS OF THE Mind”, RATHER SEE THE MIND AS THE DEFILER OF THOUGHTS
BY ITS ACT OF CONTINUALLY TAKING HOLD OF A PARTICULAR ONE, AND THUS INTERRUPTING THEIR NATURAL, HEALTHY FLOW.
IS IT NOT TRUE THAT CONSTANTLY THE MIND IS RANDOMLY, OR NON-PURPOSEFULLY STOPPING SOME PASSING THOUGHT AND FORCING IT TO SIT DOWN FOR A BRIEF INTERVIEW AND CLOSER SCRUTINY,
AND IN SO DOING, DIRECTLY AND SPECIFICALLY INTERFERES WITH
THOUGHTS’ OTHERWISE UNIMPEDED, NATURAL FLOW?!
HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS POSSIBLE, “TURN OF EVENTS”?!
* * *
IF YOU LOOK AT THE INTEREST IN AWAKENING AS A CONFLICT BETWEEN YOUR
INDIVIDUAL, PERSONAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE IMPERSONAL THOUGHTS THAT RUN THRU YOU THERE IS THIS STRANGE MATTER:
YOU CANNOT ACTUALLY SEE THE OPPOSITION, AND THE OPPOSITION DOES NOT REALLY SEE YOU
HOW CAN IT BE THAT WE
STRUGGLE WITH A FOE WHICH WE CANNOT EVEN BE CERTAIN IS PRESENT?!
* * *
TO AN AWAKENED EAR, THE SOUND OF MEN DETAILING,”WHAT KIND OF PERSON THEY ARE” IS LIKE HEARING ENDLESS & POINTLESS DESCRIPTIONS OF THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT
KEEP MEN IN THAT NON-CONSCIOUS STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT WE CALL,”BEING ASLEEP”.
THERE IS THIS FACT, THAT YOU CANNOT BE A “REAL PERSON” WHILE DECLARING AND EXPLAINING THAT YOU ARE ONE.
IT IS ONLY THOSE WHO ARE SILENT & THOSE WHO ARE DEAD ABOUT WHOM THERE IS SOME BASIS FOR SUSPECTING THEY MIGHT BE AWAKE.
ONCE A MAN FULLY UNDERSTANDS THE NATURE OF MAN, HE FINDS THAT THERE IS NOTHING
WHATSOEVER TO BE SAID ABOUT THE NATURE OF MAN. HE IS WHAT HE IS. -0

WHEN YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS CLEAR AND AWAKE,
AND ALL THINGS ARE DIRECTLY SEE FOR — WHAT THEY ARE,
THEN ALL THINGS — SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES WITH NO COMMENT BY MAN NECESSARY.
* * *
ALTHOUGH THE BODY IS IN ALL WAYS, MORE POWERFUL THAN THOUGHTS THE ENDLESS CLAMMER OF SAME CAN DRIVE IT TO RISKY DISTRACTION.
A DEGREE OF SAFETY IN THIS MATTER CAN BE ACHIEVED BY ALLOWING YOURSELF
ONLY THOUGHTS WHICH ARE EITHER INVOLVED IN SOME SPECIFIC “PROBLEM SOLVING”, OR ELSE WHICH PRODUCE NON-AGGRESSIVE OR CRITICAL SMILING.
* * *
NOW FOR ANOTHER, “MAP ALTERATION & REGENERATION”:
IN PLACE OF THE VIEW THAT YOUR PHYSICAL BEHAVIOR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AWAKENING AND THAT ONLY WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR MIND DOES,
TURN THIS OVER AND CONSIDER AN OPPOSITE PROSPECTIVE
WHEREBY YOU FORGET ABOUT AND TOTALLY IGNORE EVERYTHING THAT OCCURS IN YOUR HEAD, AND YOU DEVOTE ALL — ALL OF YOUR ATTENTION TO YOUR BEHAVIOR,
FOR IN SO DOING YOU CAN RE-ALIGN YOURSELF TO BE MORE DIRECTLY HEADED TOWARD THAT GOAL OF AWAKENED, CLEAR-HEADEDNESS.
NOTE: THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RUDIMENTARY SCHOOLS & METHODOLOGIES WHICH TEACH THAI IT IS ONLY MAN’S BEHAVIOR THAT IS OF ANY IMPORTANCE, AND THAT IT IS ONLY IN THIS AREA THAT EFFORTS TO CHANGE & IMPROVE HIMSELF ARE SIGNIFICANT.
SUCH AN APPROACH ATTRACTS & FULFILLS THE NEEDS OF THE SIMPLE & UNSOPHISTICATED, AND IS REPRESENTED PRIMARILY BY THE SUNDRY RELIGIONS.
THERE ARE SCHOOL & SYSTEMS OF A HIGHER LEVEL WHICH PROFESS THAT IT IS ONLY MAN’S INNER LIFE THAT IS WORTHY OF ATTENTION, AND THAT IT IS ONLY HERE THAT ANY MEANINGFUL CHANGE CAN OCCUR, AND THAT BEHAVIOR, (IN THIS INSTANCE),
IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
THESE SCHOOLS MAKE UP WHAT IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE THE, “MYSTICAL WAY”.
BUT THERE IS A THIRD LEVEL WHICH IS NOT KNOWN TO THOSE OF THE FIRST TWO,
WHICH I AM POINTING TO VIA THIS LATEST, INSTANT, “MAP REVERSAL”:
IT IS AN APPROACH NOT VERBALLY DISSIMILAR TO THE FIRST, ELEMENTARY ONE OF
TAILING BEHAVIOR TO BE THE KEY TO REAL, (THAT IS, PERMANENT) CHANGE IN CONSCIOUSNESS EXCEPT IN THIS INSTANCE, TO MAKE PROFITABLE USE OF THE THIRD LEVEL YOU MUST HAVE FIRST EXHAUSTED THE SECOND ONE.
TO EVER GET “THERE” FROM “HERE” YOU MUST THOROUGHLY “WEAR-OUT” HERE, THEN TURN IT INSIDE OUT TO DISCOVER THAT”HERE”WAS ALSO “THERE” All THE TIME

THERE EXISTS A STORY CONCERNING A MAGICAL SWORD
— THE LIKES OF WHICH ARE NOT TO BE FOUND IN EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL,
AND WHILE ITS STRENGTH IS SUCH THAT NOTHING CAN CUT IT,
ITS OWN MIGHT IS SUCH THAT IT CAN FREELY CLEAVE ALL THAT’S BROUGHT BEFORE IT.
IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE THERE IS NO SUBSTANCE OR SUBJECT THAT IT CANNOT, UPON SIGHT, INSTANTLY — SLICE APART.
THIS SWORD IS IN EVERY MAN’S POSSESSION, AND YET ONLY A FEW EVER BECOME AWARE OF ITS PRESENCE & NATURE:
SUCH MEN ARE CALLED, “AWAKE”, AND IT IS ONLY THEY WHO COME TO REALIZE THAT
THE ONE THING THE MIRACULOUS SWORD IS NOT PROGRAMMED OR EXPECTED TO DO
IS TO TURN ITS TALENTS ON ITSELF.
TRY[NG TO EFFECT SUCH A CONDITION IS CALLED: “THE STRUGGLE TO AWAKE”, WHILE THE FULL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I HAVE JUST DESCRIBED AS THE SWORD’S ONE AREA OF NON-PERFORMANCE
IS WHAT SHOULD BE CALLED: “RELEASE FROM THE STRUGGLE”.
YES,
INDEED IT IS GOOD TO GO FROM:”HERE-TO-THERE”,
BUT THE ONLY ONES WHO EVER ACHIEVE THE GOAL
ARE THOSE WHO FINALLY REALIZE, “HERE” TO BE THE SAME AS “THERE”
THERE IS BUT ONE UNIFIED AND UNDIVIDED REALITY,
AND “BEING AWAKE” IS NO MORE THAN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS FACT.
ACTUALLY MUCH EASIER TO “BE HOME” THAN YOU IMAGINE, FOR YOU’VE ALWAYS, “BEEN THERE”–
ALL THAT’S NEEDED NOW IS YOUR RECOGNITION AND ACCEPTANCE OF SAME.
AHHH!, SIT BACK, RELAX AND KICK YOUR THOUGHTS OFF.
