THE NEWS FOR MARCH 12, 1999
EMPLOYING ORDINARY THOUGHT, ORDINARY MEN CAN “REFLECT” ONLY ON MAN’S
PREVIOUS THOUGHTS:
THUS, AT BEST, MEN BECOME “EXPERTS” ON SUBJECTS THAT MEN HAVE MENTALLY CREATED:
EACH NEW GLORIOUS, EXCITING AND ENLIGHTENING IDEA STANDS SOLELY ON
THE SHOULDERS OF PREVIOUSLY PRODUCED IDEAS,
AND THUS IT BE THAT THE ENLIGHTENED — THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND THE NATURE
OF THE MIND — ARE “EXPERTS IN THE AREA OF “NOTHINGNESS & EMPTINESS”,
AND THUS IT BE THAT THIS EXPERTISE CANNOT BE BROADCAST NOR HEARD:
ITS REALITY RESIDES SOLELY WITH THOSE’ FEW, EXPERT IN ITS WAYS.
ONLY ENLIGHTENED SILENCE SPEAKS THE TRUTH,
AND ONLY AWAKENED EMPTINESS RECOGNIZES LIFE FOR WHAT IT IS, AND THUS–
—
“KNOWS THE SECRET”.
* * *
THE ORDINARY ARE FASCINATED BY THE SECONDARY WORLD: THE FEW ARE FASCINATED BY THE QUESTION OF ITS SOURCE.
* * *
ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING IS WHAT IT, “NATURALLY IS”, I MUST NOTE FOR YOU THAT [F YOU ARE INVOLUNTARILY UN-NATURAL
YOU CAN NEVER FULLY AWAKEN:
YOU MUST BECOME WILLFULLY NON-NATURAL IN YOUR MENTAL LIFE,
AND YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THIS FOR YOURSELF THRU YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE AND ATTENTION-TO-DETAIL.
* * *
ONE MAN MUSED:
“I ENJOY BEING SICK BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF HOW PLEASANT IT IS TO BE WELL.”,
HE THEN FURTHER PONDERED:
“CAN THIS BE APPLIED TO: MEN-ENJOYING-THEIR-DISTRACTED-STATE-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS?
…HOW COULD IT NOT?’ “
ESPECIALLY SIR, (MIGHT I NOTE), SINCE EVERYTHING THERETO APPLIES
TO THOSE WITH
99036-2
THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF IS NO SIGN OF INTELLIGENCE OUTSIDE OF THE SECONDARY WORLD — SO TELL ME THIS: HOW COMES IT TO BE SO INSIDE OF THAT REALM?
THERE IS AN ENORMOUS WIND THAT ENCIRCLES THE EARTH AND CONTINUALLY BLOWS: THIS WIND IS THE COMMON COLLECTIVE CACHE OF HUMAN THOUGHTS:
FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH’S SAKE: GET OUT OF THAT WIND —
— WITHDRAW — RETREAT —
SECRET YOURSELF INTERNALLY
IN YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL, “MENTAL HIDEOUT”,
WHEREIN YOU CAN PLOT YOUR PERMANENT ESCAPE FROM THAT WIND’S CRUDE INFLUENCE.
* * *
THERE WAS ONCE A MAN WHO, WHEN HIS ATTENTION WAS TOTALLY OUT OF HIS CONTROL, WAS AWARE OF “FEELING” — NOTHING,
AND WHEN HIS ATTENTION WAS UNDER HIS CONTROL
HE WAS AWARE OF “FEELING” — ROBOTIC.
QUESTION: WHAT IS ANOTHER POSSIBILITY?
* * *
HERE IS A STATEMENT THAT ONE MAN CONTINUALLY REPEATS TO HIMSELF & PONDERS: “UNLESS YOU’RE A COMPLETE IDIOT, I DOUBT THAT YOU’RE FULLY AWAKE, JUST YET.”
FACT:NOT ONLY IS IT THE INSANELY ASLEEP WHO W[LL PROCLAIM THEIR AWAKE-NESS,
IT IS THE SERIOUSLY DENSE OF THE UNIVERSE WHO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THEIR CONDITION
THE BODY OF MAN IS THE BASIS OF HIS PRIMARY WORLD BECAUSE IT GOES ABOUT
ITS DUTIES SANS COMMENTARY & SPECULATION,
WHILE MAN’S THOUGHTS CONSTITUTE HIS SECONDARY REALITY
WHICH IS SUCH, (THAT IS, “SECONDARY”), FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT IT IS A WORLD
CONJURED UP ENTIRELY FROM MAN’S THOUGHTS,
AND AT ITS ROUTINE LEVEL HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE OTHER THAN IN ITS
MEANINGLESS REFERENCES TO ITSELF.
THUS, ANYTHING THAT A MAN SAYS, NOT SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO SOME MATERIAL ASPECT OF THE PHYSICAL, PRIMARY WORLD,
WILL BE NO MORE THAN AN EMPTY WIND:THAT-CONTINUALLY-PRATTLES ON ABOUT ITSELF.
THERE ARE NO WORDS WHICH WILL MAKE THE VACANT, SUBSTANTIAL, EXCEPT TO THE SLEEPING.

HERE IS A QUESTION, THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHICH IS EXEMPLARY OF THE UNREALIZED NATURE OF THE MIND:
“WHY DOES WATER FREEZE AT PRECISELY 32° FAHRENHEIT?”
REMEMBER HOW I NOTED THAT THE OPPOSITE OF “BEING ASLEEP” IS TO “BE RELAXED”?,
THEN FURTHER,_ PERTINENTLY CONSIDER:
BEING ASLEEP MAKES YOU UNNECESSARILY “TENSE”,
ALTHOUGH ‘TIS ONLY THE FEW WHO EVER COME TO REALIZE THE NON-NECESSITY
OF ALLOWING YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS TO BE HELD AND DIRECTED BY THE FORCE OF THE
SECONDARY REALITY.
..SEE, IT’S ONLY THERE THAT WATER DOES FREEZE AT THAT DESIGNATED
MENTAL MARK.
IN THE SECONDARY WORLD OF THOUGHT,
ALL THINGS “PROVE” THEM SELF SOLELY BY REFERENCE TO OTHER THINGS IN THAT REALM
WHICH PROVE THEMSELVES BY LIKE, INTERNAL REFERENCE.
…OR, IF YOU PREFER, BACK TO THIS OLD INQUIRY:
“WHAT IS THE FIRST WORD IN THE DICTIONARY?”….
…WHAT IS THE FIRST THOUGHT YOU EVER HAD
….WHAT WAS THE VERY FIRST IDEA THAT POPPED INTO ADAM’S MIND
WHEN HIS PRISTINE PHYSICAL BEING WAS ESCORTED FROM THE
SILENT, SELF-EVIDENT, PRIMEVAL GARDEN OF ORIGINAL, TANGIBLE PARADISE OUT INTO THE NOISY, EVER-BUSY, SELF-REFERENTIAL NEW WORLD OF A
MENTALLY BASED & PRODUCED, INTANGIBLE — SECONDARY REALITY?
COME ON, THINK ABOUT IT —
WHAT D’YA FIGURE WAS THE VERY FIRST THING THAT
THE VERY FIRST MAN WHOSE BRAIN BEGAN TO SPEAK TO HIM,
HAD TO SAY?
…WHATEVER IT WAS — WAS THE “FIRST WORD IN THE DICTIONARY”, BUT WAS USELESS UNTIL A SECOND WORD CAME TO HIS MIND, BY WHICH THE FIRST WORD COULD BE COMPARED:
THUS BEGAN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A TOTALLY NEW REALITY FOR MAN —
ONE THAT EXISTED ENTIRELY IN THAT ONE AREA OF HIS BRAIN THAT VOCALIZED, THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS THEREIN TOTALLY DEPENDENT FOR THEIR EXISTENCE ON COMPARISONS WITH OTHER PARTS IN THIS WHOLLY CONTRIVED,
AND ULTIMATELY, “IMAGINARY” REALITY,
(THIS BEING THE UNIVERSE’S ONLY EXAMPLE [IF YOU’RE AWAKE AND CAN SEE IT],
OF A LOGICAL,”OXYMORON”: THE MENTALLY PRODUCED, “SECONDARY-WORLD-OF-MAN” —
— AN IMAGINARY, “REALITY”.
THINK ABOUT IT! – WHAT A WONDROUS & MONSTROUS TRAP IN WHICH TO TUMBLE.
99036-4
THE “ALICES” OF THE FEW
DO NOT FALL INTO A RABBIT HOLE,
BUT RATHER DO THEY DROP INTO
THE CIRCULAR AND INFINITELY INCONCLUSIVE
VERBAL AREA OF THEIR OWN BRAIN.
THEY BECOME PRODUCERS OF,
CONSUMERS OF,
BUILDERS OF, AND RESIDENTS OF,
A TOTALLY FICTITIOUS WORLD OF A “MENTAL REALITY”
THAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO MAN’S OVERALL PERCEPTION OF REALITY, (POST EDEN),
AND IS NOW AN INTEGRAL PART OF ORDINARILY CONSCIOUS MEN’S LIVES
INDEED: WHAT A WONDROUS & MONSTROUS STATE OF AWARENESS INTO WHICH TO TUMBLE,
AND WHAT A MARVELOUS RELIEF IT BE
TO FINALLY SEE
THIS DUAL-LY CONSTRUCTED SENSE OF REALITY FOR WHAT IT IS,
AND THUS BE FREED FROM,
WHAT IS IN FACT,
ITS MEANINGLESS ASPECTS AS REGARDS THOSE WHO SEEK TO,”SHAKE-THE-SLEEP” FROM
THEIR — \PRIMARY EYES/”I’s”.
* * *
BY THE BY:
LIVING WITH DISTRACTED & UNFOCUSED CONSCIOUSNESS NOT ONLY MAKES YOU UNNECESSARILY “TENSE”, BUT ALSO MAKES ONE FEARFUL OF LIFE ITSELF.
…(A SITUATION THAT SURELY DESERVES THE DESCRIPTION: “WHAT A SAD WASTE.”)
* * *
HERE IS ONE OF THE MIND”S NORMALLY UN-HEARD, SUB-AUDIBLE CONFESSIONS: “I AM NEVER MORE DEFENSIVE THAN WHEN I KNOW THAT I AM WRONG,
BUT MUST APPEAR TO BE RIGHT.”
FACT: NOTHING SHOULD UPSET AN ALERT MAN MORE THAN THE EXISTANCE OF THE INDIGENOUS DRIVE PLANTED IN HIM TO ENGAGE IN RELENTLESS –
“MENTAL SELF-DECEPTION”.
“AHHHHHHHH!”, CRIED OUT ONE MAN TO HIMSELF: “THAT ‘WIND’
MADE-ME-DO-IT.”
99036-5
NOW, ANOTHER OF OUR SPECIAL KIND OF: “WHAT IF”,
AND NOT A ROUTINE ATTEMPT TO SOMEHOW “IMAGINE” THAT
SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE COULD BE SO,
BUT RATHER THE MENTALLY CONSIDERING OF A PICTURE OF THINGS THAT WOULD NEVER NATURALLY ARISE IN THE ROUTINE MIND,
AND THIS PARTICULAR ONE GOES LIKE THIS:
“WHAT IF”
THE BRAIN DOESN’T ACTUALLY HAVE,”DIFFERENT THOUGHTS”
BUT RATHER HAS DIFFERENT AREAS OF ITSELF RESPONSIBLE FOR — DIFFERENT THOUGHTS,
(SUCH AS AN AREA FOR “HAPPY THOUGHTS”, AND ONE FOR, “SAD THOUGHTS”,
AND AN AREA DESIGNATED FOR, “AGGRESSIVE THOUGHTS”, AND ANOTHER FOR “SHY THOUGHT.!
AND “WHAT IF” FURTHER, ATTENTION IS LIKE A SPOTLIGHT THAT CONTINUALLY,
“ROAMS ABOUT” ON THE SURFACE OF THE BRAIN, FOCUSING MOMENTARILY,
FIRST ON THIS AREA — THEN ON THAT, AND SO ON:
AND “WHAT IF”, FURTHER STILL THERE ARE MODAL PERCEPTIONS OF: TIME & SPACE
THAT ARE LIKE OVER-LAYS ON THESE AREAS OF THE BRAIN
WHEREBY THE THOUGHTS MEN HAVE CAN BE PLACED: IN THE FUTURE, IN THE PAST,
IN THIS PLACE, OR IN THAT?
NOW! — FOR THE TONIGHT’S BIG, “WHAT IF”:
WHAT IF THE BRAIN HAS NO NATURAL AREA GIVEN TO HAVING THOUGHTS RELATIVE TO THE IMMEDIATE MOMENT AND PRESENT, PHYSICAL CIRCUMSTANCES? —
OPEN WIDE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS-OF-CONSIDERATION, AND PONDER THIS PICTURE-OF-POSSIBILITY:
A BRAIN WITH NO NATURAL AREAS OF THOUGHT INTENDED TO DEAL-WITH THE LITERAL, “HERE & NOW”.
NOW THIS IS NOT A STRANGE AS MAY INITIAL SOUND: CONSIDER:
WHEN DO YOU EVER HAVE THOUGHTS SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON THE INSTANT MOMENT
OTHER THAN THESE THREE INSTANCES: WHEN YOU ARE IN PHYSICAL PAIN:
WHEN YOU ARE ENGAGED IN A “PROBLEM SOLVING” OF A MATERIAL NATURE,
OR WHEN YOU ARE UNUSUALLY, SENSORALLY STRUCK,(SUCH AS WITH THE IMPACT OF
WITNESSING AN EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL SUNSET, OR HEARING SOME EXQUISITE MUSIC),
BUT OTHER THAN FOR THESE THREE OCCASIONS, ASK YOURSELF:
WHEN ELSE DO YOUR THOUGHTS: FOCUS-ON, AND, RESIDE-IN THE “HERE & NOW”,
THE PRESENT TIME, AND IMMEDIATE PLACE?
QUESTION: IS IT THE BRAIN’S LACK OF HAVING AN AREA OF THOUGHT THAT NATURALLY DEALS IN MATTERS OF THE “HERE & NOW” THAT IS THE ACTUAL BASIS FOR A FEW MEN’S DESIRE TO, (AS THEY CALL IT): “AWAKEN?”….ACHIEVE “ENLIGHTENMENT”…. …FACILITATE “LIBERATION”?!;
99036-6
COULD IT BE THAT THIS WHOLE AFFAIR IN WHICH WE’RE SO DEEPLY INVOLVED
IS NOTHING MORE THAN A HUNGER TO DEVELOP WITHIN OUR OWN BRAINS
AN AREA DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO A
CONTINUING CONSCIOUSNESS OF — NOW — THE ETERNAL, EMPTY — NOW ?!?!
STOP FOR A SECOND — OPEN WIDE YOUR WINDOW OF SILENT ATTENTION — RELAX, AND PLEASURABLY PONDER THIS ENTIRE, “WHAT IF”, FOR IF ITS FULL POTENTIAL IMPACT
COMES FACE-TO-FACE WITH YOUR UNENCUMBERED “WINDOW-OF-UNEXPECTED-POSSIBILITIES
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO — FALL THROUGH THAT WINDOW,
AND FIND YOURSELF ON THE “OTHER SIDE” —
— OVER IN A PREVIOUSLY UN-ACTIVATED AREA OF YOUR BRAIN/MIND
WHEREIN YOUR VERY CONSCIOUSNESS OF “BEING ALIVE” RESIDES ENTIRELY IN,
“THE HERE & NOW” — WHICH IN FACT IS WHERE,
“BEING ALIVE” TAKES PLACE.
WHAT A MARVELOUS AND MAMMOTH REALIZATION: WHAT AN AWAKENING! —
WHAT AN ENLIGHTENMENT! —
WHAT A LIBERATION! — WHAT A LIFE,
FOR THOSE WHO SIMPLY — LIVE IT.
