THE NEWS FOR JANUARY 27,1999
MORE STILL REGARDING THE KIND OF FUN & FRIVOLITY THAT’S POSSIBLE
IN THE REALM OF: THINKING-ABOUT-THINGS:
ONE MAN SAYS THAT FOR MANY YEARS HIS GREATEST DAILY CONCERN WAS ABOUT HIS DENTAL HEALTH….AN ANNOYANCE HE SAYS HE EVENTUALLY CURED BY GETTING
STOMACH CANCER.
MORE CONCERNING HOW MEN NORMALLY EXPEND THEIR “FREE TIME”: IF THEY’RE NOT WHINING — THEY’RE CRITICIZING,
AND IF THEY’RE WORRYING ABOUT SOMETHING — THEY’RE WORRYING ABOUT SEVERAL THINGS
AND THERE WAS A CERTAIN MAN WHO WAS ASKED A CERTAIN QUESTION
THE ANSWER TO WHICH HE WAS SUSPECTED OF KNOWING, (AND IT WAS):
“IS THERE AN EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE FOR A HUMAN THAT IS MORE AMAZING & DELIGHTFUL
THAN THAT CONDITION IN THE BRAIN MANY CALL ENLIGHTENMENT, AND AWAKENING?”,
AND THE MAN REPLIED: “YES, THOUGH DIFFICULT IT BE TO VERBALIZE,
BUT IT IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
A SUDDEN AWARENESS OF SIMPLY — BEING ALIVE —
COMPLETELY OUTSIDE _ANY MENTAL PERCEPTIONS THEREOF.
AN INTEGRAL PART OF ORDINARY MEN’S LIVES, (WHICH THEY APPARENTLY FEEL AS NECESSARY
FOR AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF PLEASURE THEREWITH),
IS THEIR SOCIAL SPEECH, (THAT IS,THEIR AIMLESS TALK),
WHICH IS A DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE ACTIVITY ROUTINELY GOING ON
IN THEIR MINDS:
,AND WHILE THE CONSTANT NOISE OF THIS COLLECTION VERBAL MEANDERING IS TAKEN AS
THE NORM AND IN FACT IS GENERALLY GIVEN NO CONSCIOUS ATTENTION,
THOSE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS OF LIFE FROM THE DULL, DISTORTED
NORM TO A MORE LIVELY AND DIRECT ONE, PERCEIVE THE DIN FROM A DIFFERENT VIEW.
BEING SOCIABLE IS ONE THING — BEING A SQUANDERER OF RESOURCES IS ANOTHER. HAVING AN AWAKENED CONSCIOUS OF L[FE & BEING THUS NON-MENTALLY”AGGRESSIVE” DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO BE A BABBLING HALF-WIT
99012-2
BUT TO COVER THIS SUBJECT ADEQUATELY WE NEED NOTE THAT FOR THOSE TRYING TO EXPAND & STABILIZE THEIR AWAKENING OF CONSCIOUSNESS,
THE ASPECT OF AIMLESS SPEECH THAT IS OF MOST SIGNIFICANCE TO THEM IS THAT OF THE CONSTANT RAMBLINGS IN THEIR OWN HEADS THAT FOREVER SEEKS
ITS OWN AUDIENCE THEREIN.
IT’S ALWAYS BACK TO THIS:
THERE IS NO “PROBLEM” OUTSIDE YOUR OWN SKIN, AND THERE IS NONE IN FACT — EVEN THEREIN.
ONE MAN BEGAN TO BE AFRAID THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO REALIZE THE FACT THAT HE COULD NOT BE CONCERNED OR WORRY ABOUT ANY SUBJECT OR AFFAIR IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE UNLESS HE, “THOUGHT ABOUT IT”.
TO SOME:”HOBBIES DON’T COME CHEAP”,
AND TO OTHERS: THEY WON’T GO AWAY WITHOUT SOME COST.
–(YEAH, RIGHT! — SOME “COST” —
YOUR LOVE OF FAIRY TALES & IMAGINARY ENTANGLEMENTS.)
* * *
AFTER CONSIDERABLE TIME SPENT IN EXAMINING, THEN CATALOGING THE VARIOUS AND SUNDRY THOUGHTS THAT CONTINUALLY AND AUTOMATICALLY PASSED THRU HIS MIND. ONE MAN FOUND THAT APPROXIMATELY 98.7% OF THEM WERE OF A SERIOUS, AND OFTEN, CRITICAL NATURE.
ASK YOURSELF THIS ONE: WHY IS THERE NO SENSE OF “SERIOUSNESS”ABOUT THE
PRIMARY WORLD OF PLAIN, SIMPLE EXISTENCE,
BUT YET BEAU-COUPS OF SUCH REGARDING MAN’S SECONDARY, THOUGHT-DERIVED ONE WHICH BY ITS VERY NATURE & DEFINITION IS OF INFERIOR SIGNIFICANCE, (IF ANY)?!
TO AWAKENED EYES, THE LANDSCAPE OF CIVILIZATION IS CONSPICUOUS IN ITS NUMBER OF INVISIBLE TEMPLES, AND GOLD PLATED OUTHOUSES:
ABOUT UNENCUMBERED REALITY, THERE IS NOTHING TO SAY:
REGARDING THE MENTAL ONE, IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY TOO MUCH AFTER ALL:
IMAGINARY STRUCTURES TOO
MUST BE SUPPORTED BY SOMETHING
(AND IN HIS AROUSING CONSCIOUSNESS, ONE MAN MADE THIS PASSING NOTE
REGARDING HIS ROUTINE MENTAL CONDITION:
“I ‘PROP-MYSELF-UP’, THEREBY I SEEM TO BE ‘AM’.”,
AND UPON HEARING THIS SAID, ANOTHER MAN IMMEDIATELY SNATCHED ALL OF THE WORDS
HE COULD FIND, OUT FROM UNDER HIMSELF.)
99012-3
AFTER MANY YEARS,(WITH SOME SUCCESS),
OF STRUGGLING TO ACHIEVE A MORE PERMANENTLY ALERT STATE OF AWARENESS, ONE MAN, ONE DAY ASKED HIMSELF:
“IN WHAT WAY IS — TALKING-TO-YOURSELF-ABOUT-BEING, ‘MORE CONSCIOUS’ ACTUALLY
CONNECTED TO BEING — ‘MORE CONSCIOUS’?!”,
AND EVEN THOUGH HE INSTANTLY UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE IS NO CONNECTION,
HE SIMULTANEOUSLY RECOGNIZED HOW NATURAL AND PLEASURABLE IT IS TO GO AHEAD AND ACT AS THOUGH IT IS OTHERWISE.
PAST A CERTAIN KNOWN “INNER POINT”,
THE GREATEST HINDRANCE TO A MAN’S FURTHER, REFINED AWAKENING IS,
(LOGIC & REASON BE DAMMED!) – HIS APPARENT DESIRES & EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE SAME.
…(SINCE I’M THE ONE WHO JUST WROTE THESE WORDS
I FEEL IT MY PRIVILEGE TO POINT OUT TO YOU SPECIFICALLY
THE INCLUSION OF THE MODIFIER, “APPARENT”
IN MY REFERENCE TO A MAN’S “DESIRES & EFFORTS” TO ACHIEVE GREATER AWAKENING.
…[ALSO MAY I FURTHER POINT OUT THAT EVEN THOUGH I PURPOSEFULLY EMPLOYED THE
WORD, “APPARENT” IN MY DESCRIPTION OF THIS “CERTAIN PREDICAMENT”
I, (SAME AS WITH EVERYBODY ELSE) — I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE SITUATION
SHOULD BE, OR SEEM SO,
IN THAT EVEN THOUGH I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE,
WHEN I SPEAK OF IT,
I MOMENTARILY — LOSE SIGHT OF IT:
…THUS IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN:SPEECH AND AWAKENED CONSCIOUSNESS.
ONE MAN: THREW OUT HIS TELEVISION: GAVE AWAY HIS RADIO, TRASHED HIS COMPUTER, STOPPED ALL MAGAZINE & NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIPTIONS,
AND MOVED TO A TOTALLY SECLUDED LOCATION, AWAY FROM ALL OTHER PEOPLE AND YET,
THAT FROM WHICH HE SOUGHT ESCAPE, (THAT’S RIGHT, I KNEW YOU’D GUESS IT), STAYED WITH HIM.
REMEMBER: THERE IS NO,”ESCAPE”
SAVE FROM SEEING THRU THE ILLUSION THAT THERE IS A REAL “ESCAPE” CALLING.
…YES, WE ALL KNOW THAT SUCH A CALL SEEMS TO BE AT THE HEART OF OUR VERY EFFORTS TO REACH ANOTHER STATE OF AWARENESS, BUT WHAT DID WE JUST RE-DETERMINE YET AGAIN REGARDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN “BEING MORE CONSCIOUS”, AND ANY DESCRIPTIONS THAT SEEM TO APPLY TO SAME, (SUCH AS THE NEED TO “ESCAPE” OUR ROUTINE CONDITION.)
THE ACTUAL “DANGER-OF” WORDS IS IN THEIR SEEMING APPROPRIATENESS & VALIDITY.
99012-4
ALL OF THIS APPARENTLY MOTIVATED ONE MAN TO PRESENT THIS PROBLEM,
(AS HE PERCEIVES IT):
“THEN HOW CAN YOU EVER LOCATE A MAN WITH AWAKENED CONSCIOUSNESS
IF SUCH A MAN WOULD NEVER SPEAK OF THE MATTER?!”,
BUT HAVING GIVEN VOICE TO THIS QUESTION THEN SEEMED TO SPUR THE MAN ON TO
AN UNEXPECTED, NEW REALIZATION:
“BUT ONE MAN CAN NEVER’LOCATE’ANOTHER ‘MORE-AWAKE’ MAN
….FOR NO ONE IS, ‘MORE AWAKE OR ASLEEP’
EXCEPT TO THEM SELF.”,
AND WITH THAT, HE SMILED AND AND WRAPPED HIS ARMS LOVINGLY AROUND HIS OWN
CHEST AND STOMACH,
COMFORTED BY THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SAFELY WITHIN HIMSELF RESIDES BOTH
PARIS AND ISTANBUL: BOTH THE “HERE” AND ALSO THE “THERE”,
BOTH THE “GOING” AND THE “ARRIVING”:
…YES, ALL THAT YOU SEEK IS — RIGHT THERE ALREADY IN YOU —
…NOW
MOSTLY ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS — STOP TALKING ABOUT,
(ONCE YOU TOTALLY REALIZE
WHAT THE TOTAL REALITY IS
BEHIND THE — “STOP TALKING ABOUT IT”,
…WHICH IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING THAT WHAT IS OF MOST PRESENT,
PRESSING SIGNIFICANCE IS THE FULL AWAKENING TO THE VERY ESSENCE AND NATURE OF:
— WHAT THINKING IS.
HE WHO UNDERSTANDS THOUGHT — CANNOT SLEEP.
AND A CERTAIN MAN WHO WAS SUFFERING FROM A PAINFUL, TERMINAL ILLNESS WAS ASKED HOW IT WAS TO BE DYING AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE DYING, TO WHICH HE REPLIED:
“IT IS NOT AS BAD AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE FOR WHEN THE DISCOMFORT OF THE ILLNESS REACHES A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE MATTER OF DYING NO LONGER BOTHERS YOU”, THEN AFTER
A SHORT PAUSE, HE ADDED: “NOT UNLIKE THE CONDITIONS OF MY LATER STATES OF AWAKENING
AND THEN THERE WAS THIS OTHER MAN WHO WAS ASKED TO ADDRESS A GROUP OF PEOPLE, AND HE REPLIED THAT HE WOULD DO SO FOR A FEE OF $30,000.00,AND WHEN THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT PAY SUCH A SUM, HE THEN TOLD THEM TO MAKE THE FEE $60,000.00 SO THAT IT WOULD SEEM LIKE HE MISSED OUT ON EVEN MORE THAN IT INITIALLY SEEMED.
HE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE COST -OF-THOUGHT, RECOGNIZES THE TRUE VALUE OF
EVERYTHING — AND IS THUS NOT BOTHERED BY. THE “ASKING PRICE” OF SLEEP.
