THE NEWS FOR MARCH 13, 1999
FROM AN AWAKENED MAN’S, HARD-NOSE-VIEW:
HE HAS: NEVER BEEN AWAKE EN THE PAST,
AND WILL POSSIBLY NEVER BE SO IN THE FUTURE:
HIS ONLY POSSIBILITY TO AWAKEN IS ALWAYS — RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT.
ONCE YOU CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE MEANING-OF-WHAT-THIS-MEANS, IT IS SUCH A RELIEF — YOU CAN’T IMAGINE!!
* * *
BEING A VOCIFEROUS CRITIC OF MAN & LIFE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE ANY UNDERSTANDING THEREOF.
OH MY DEAR, NO….NOT HARDLY! YE GADS, OLD SPORT, JUST THE OPPOSITE:.
* * *
UNDER ROUTINE CONDITIONS IN MAN’S SECONDARY WORLD:-
EVERY THOUGHT IS A CHALLENGE — A “CHECK” ON EVERY OTHER THOUGHT.
IT IS THIS COMPETITION, (THOUGH ULTIMATELY, MEANINGLESS),
THAT GIVES APPARENT AUTHORITY TO THE WORLD OF THOUGHTS:
BUT, (MAY THE ALERT, PLEASE NOTE),
COMPARING THE ACTUALITY OF CINDERELLA TO GULLIVER IN NO WAY CAN EVER
VALIDATE THE REALITY OF EITHER.
IMAGINARY NUMBERS, TIMES OTHER IMAGINARY NUMBERS
CAN NEVER RESULT IN ANY PRODUCT THAT IS NOT ALSO IMAGINARY.
…COME ON, EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT – RIGHT?!
….THEY DON’T?! WELL, THAT CERTAIN WOULD EXPLAIN A LOT!.
* * *
REGARDLESS OF LITERATE MEN’S CLAIMS TO THE CONTRARY:
HOT LEAD COMING FROM A LINOTYPE IS NEVER THE EQUAL OF
HOT LEAD COMING FROM A GUN BARREL.
THE SECONDARY WORLD IS FORCED TO CONSTANTLY MAKE UNSUPPORTABLE CLAIMS
FOR ITSELF DUE TO ITS INHERENT IMPOTENCY COMPARED TO THE PRIMARY, PHYSICAL ONE.
…NOW FOR SURE, EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THIS — RIGHT?!
…N0?!, I’M WRONG AGAIN….WELL JEEZE!!
99037-2
A MAN WITH CONCERNS ABOUT HIS CHARACTER & REPUTATION
IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF A MAN WHOSE CONCEPTION OF LIFE IS IN A STATE OF, SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
* * *
THE TERM, “BEING CONSCIOUS” SEEMS TO STRIKE EVERYONE IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY….
….A FACT THAT SURELY HELPS KEEP THEM FROM THEIR FULL POTENTIAL FOR CONSCIOUSNESS.
NOTE: THERE IS BUT ONE “CONSCIOUSNESS”, AND IT IS: UNDEFINABLE, INDESCRIBABLE
IN THAT IT IS EMPTY AND CONSISTS OF – NOTHINGNESS.
* * *
THOSE WHO SAY THAT MEN’S GOD IS, “UN-CREATED” ARE INCORRECT: GOD IS A MAN MADE PRODUCT THAT COMBINES THE BRAIN’S ABILITY TO, VERBALLY REMEMBER, WITH HIS FEAR OF DEATH.
…COME ON STAY ALERT,
YOU SHOULD CLEARLY REALIZE BY NOW THAT EVERYTHING EXISTING IN
MAN’S SECONDARY REALITY, (THAT IS, THINGS HE CAN TALK ABOUT),
ARE ALL MERELY COMBINATIONS OF — CERTAIN MEMORIES & PARTICULAR FEARS.
THUS IT BE THAT THE ENLIGHTENED: REMEMBER NOTHING AND FEAR NOTHING.
…HOW ASTOUNDING!, (THAT IS): HOW ASTOUNDING THAT EVERYONE’S NOT LIKE THIS.
* * *
AN AWAKENED MAN WHO DEBATES IDEAS WILL, “GO TO SLEEP” — FAST!
* * *
MEANINGLESS TALK LOVES TO WALLOW IN THE SOUND OF ITS OWN MEANINGLESSNESS….
….WHAT ELSE IS IT GONNA DO?’ WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO IT?!
99037-3
SUCCESS IN FULLY AWAKENING, (I MUST SUGGEST),
SEEMS DEPENDENT ON YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW LONG IT MAY TAKE,
TO,
FULLY AWAKE.
* * *
ROUTINE CONSCIOUSNESS IS FRAGMENTED & PREJUDICED,
AND SEES ONLY WHAT IT WANTS TO SEE,
AND NEVER WHAT IS PLAIN & OBVIOUS.
…SUCH SIGHT IS LEFT TO THOSE FEW,
FULLY AWARE AS TO THE NATURE OF THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS.
* * *
THE TERM, “TO BE ENLIGHTENED”
SIGNIFIES THAT ONE’S PERCEPTIONS OF LIFE HAVE GONE FROM A WORLD OF SHADOWS
INTO THE OPEN NATURAL LIGHT:
IT SAYS THAT A MAN CAN NOW CLEARLY DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE
PHYSICAL, PRIMARY WORLD,
AND THE MENTAL, SECONDARY ONE,
AND TAKES NEITHER TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAT IT IS.
WITH LIGHT, ALWAYS COMES SHADOWS, BUT A MAN WHO CAN — “SEE PLAINLY” NEVER CONFUSES THE TWO.
* * *
IF YOU LOOK AT LIFE ONLY THOUGH THE THOUGHTS WHICH COME NATURALLY TO YOU, YOU WILL NEVER SEE LIFE AS IT ACTUALLY IS, BUT ONLY AS THE THOUGHTS CLAIM IT TO BE.
99037-4
AN AWAKENED MAN USES THOUGHTS, (AS REGARDS HIMSELF), LIKE THIS:
IF ORDINARY MEN’S RELATIONSHIP TO THEIR THOUGHTS IS LIKE,”SERIOUS LITERATURE’ THEN AN AWAKENED MAN’S RELATIONSHIP TO HIS IS LIKE THE HOLD UP NOTE OF A BANK ROBBER,
OR THE RANSOM DEMAND OF A DESPERATE & FRUSTRATED KIDNAPPER.
* * *
WHEN ATTENTION IS LIKE A WIDE OPEN WINDOW
THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WILL COME PASSING THROUGH….
…NOT ALL THAT TRIFLING LOCAL STUFF THAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU SQUINT AND STARE.
* * *
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN: BEING HERE, AND, BEING SOME WHERE ELSE: YOUR BODY (AND PRIMARY REALITY), ARE HERE,
YOUR THOUGHTS, (AND THE SECONDARY WORLD), ARE SOME WHERE ELSE.
QUERY: WHERE DO YOU PREFER TO BE?
….AND IF YOUR ANSWER IS WHAT I SUSPECT IT TO BE, THEN ANOTHER QUESTION:
WHY DON’T YOU STAY THERE?! OR AT THE VERY LEAST,
MAKE GREATER EFFORT TO DO SO?! …..
….IT’S NOT REALLY DIFFICULT, ALL YOU’VE GOT TO DO IS — “LET GO” —
— LET GO OF YOUR END OF THE HOLD THAT
THE SECONDARY WORLD HAS ON YOUR ATTENTION.
ONE MAN ONCE REGISTERED THIS OBSERVATION-CUM-COMPLAINT:
“BUT THINKING IS SO MUCH FUN, NAY, SPEAK THE TRUTH SIR:
HABIT IS — “SO MUCH FUN” —
SIMPLY, “GOING ALONG WITH” WHAT LIFE HAS PROGRAMMED YOU TO DO — MENTALLY,
IS THE REALITY OF WHAT YOU’RE CALLING THE “FUN” OF ORDINARY THINKING.
..(WHICH SHOULD NOT ACTUALLY BE CALLED “THINKING”BUT RATHER: DREAMING…& DRIFTING) TO AMMAN WITH A SHADOWY COMPREHENSION OF LIFE,
HIS NATURAL, BIOLOGICAL INCLINATIONS SEEM HIS FRIEND… …SEEM PLEASURABLE & PROPER TO PASSIVELY FOLLOW,
BUT THIS IS MERELY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE NO — CONSCIOUS ATTENTION,
AN EFFORT, IF THEY ATTEMPT IT, THE ORDINARY FIND TIRESOME AND CERTAINLY NO,
“FUN”.
….(ARE THOSE WHO STRUGGLE TO CLEAR THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS
AN UNEQUALED, BARREL-&-A-HALF OF UNEXPECTED FRIVOLITY, OR WHAT?A)
99037-5
BETTER THAN A GREYHOUND BUS WITH A TIME MACHINE WILL THOUGHTS TAKE YOU FROM THE HERE-&-NOW.
* * *
IF YOU WANT TO LOSE DIRECT CONTACT WITH SOMETHING ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS — COMMENT ON IT.
* * *
OF WHAT USE DOES AN ENLIGHTENED MAN MAKE OF KNOWLEDGE? — HE GIVES ATTENTION ONLY TO KNOWLEDGE THAT CONCERNS HIM, PLUS HE KNOWS WHAT IS OF ACTUAL”CONCERN” TO HIM.
…THIS, OLD DEARS, IS NO SMALL ACCOMPLISHMENT,
FOR ONE OF THE HALLMARKS OF CLOUDY CONSCIOUSNESS IS THAT
IT SPENDS MOST OF ITS LIFE ENTANGLED IN THOUGHTFUL AFFAIRS THAT ARE, IN TRUTH, OF NO ACTUAL CONCERN TO THE LIFE OF THE MAN.
KIDS FIND IT FUN TO CHASE A MERRY GO ROUND,
BUT A MAN WHO HAS ONCE RIDDEN REALITY PREFERS TO EAT A :KNISH RATHER THAN AGONIZE ABOUT THE POTATO FAMINE.
KNOWING STUFF CAN BE FUN,
BUT A MAN WITH OPEN EYES NEVER CONFUSES FRIVOLITY FOR “SERIOUS BUSINESS”, AND WHAT YOU “KNOW” CERTAINLY DOESN’T FALL WITHIN THE CATEGORY OF,
“SERIOUS BUSINESS”.
“EXPERIENCE” — NOW THERE’S THE KEY,
AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AWAKE & THE ORDINARY:
THE ORDINARY RELY ON — WHAT THEY KNOW,
WHILE THE AWAKE DEPEND ON NOTHING OTHER THAN WHAT THEY’VE EXPERIENCED.
TALKING-ABOUT-IT, (EVEN FORCEFULLY AND SERIOUSLY), IS ONE THING,
EXPERIENCING IT, QUITE ANOTHER…IF FACT, SO MUCH, “QUITE ANOTHER”,
THAT THE TWO REPRESENT TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO LIFE.
THE ORDINARY BELIEVE THAT IF THEY KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT IT
THEN THAT’S ALL THEY NEED,
WHILE A MAN WITH CLEANED-OUT-CONSCIOUSNESS LOOKS AT,”WHAT-HIS-THOUGHTS-KNOW”
AS MERE CHANGE HE MIGHT HAVE IN HIS POCKET,
AND PERCEIVES HIS ONLY POSSESSION OF REAL VALUE TO BE THE,
CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCES HE HAS HAD. THESE CANNOT BE LOST, NOR COUNTERFEITED,
AND THUS CAN NEVER CONTRIBUTE TO ONE’S — SELF DECEPTION. EXPERIENCE,EXPERIENCE

A MISTAKE OFTEN NOT REALIZED BY THOSE SEEKING THE SECRET
IS IN TRYING TO BE MORE IGNORANT THAN IS ACTUALLY NECESSARY.
AND ONE MAN’S HEART SAID TO A
PART OF HIS BRAIN: “HEY, NO NEED TO PLAY DUMB ON MY ACCOUNT.”
* * *
TO BE FUNCTIONALLY AWAKE
YOU NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIT –TOO AWAKE TO BE AWAKE ENOUGH.
..:HEY, DON’T PRETEND YOU’RE ASLEEP JUST TO PLEASE ME! I’LL BE QUITE SATISFIED TO LEAVE THE DANCE ALONE.”
* * *
A CYNIC IS SOMEONE WHO JUST SUSPECTS WHAT’S GOING ON. (AND IS PISSED THAT HE DOESN’T ACTUALLY KNOW.)
* * *
BY SENTIMENT ARE MANY ATTRACTED TO THE IDEA OF ENLIGHTENMENT, BUT,WHO BY BIOLOGY, ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO PROPERLY PURSUE IT.
…ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE FACT THAT: NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT ENLIGHTENMENT IS. -.AND THOSE WHO DO KNOW
ARE SO ENLIGHTENED THAT THEY’VE FORGOTTEN THAT THEY KNOW.
AN ENLIGHTENED MAN IS SOMEONE WHO SEES WHAT’S GOING ON… …AND IS AMAZED THAT EVERYONE ELSE DOESN’T.
FACT: YOU CAN”T BE “CYNICAL” ABOUT AN OPEN FIELD — A FIELD FULL OF NOTHING.
AND ONE MAN MUSED: “IT’S GOOD TO BE FREE FROM THE CONTROL OF THOUGHT, BUT BETTER STILL TO — SEE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE.”
* * *
WHEN “ONE-WHO-KNOWS” SAYS THAT HE CANNOT TELL YOU “THE SECRET”,
HE IS, (IN A REAL SENSE), TELLING YOU THE SECRET.
…THERE!, I JUST DID IT AGAIN…DID YOU CATCH IT THIS TIME?
…IF NOT, JUST RELAX AND STAY ALERT — IT’S ALL AROUND YOU, ALL THE TIME.
