MY NEWS FOR MARCH 24, 1999
IN AN EFFORT TO PERSONALLY COMBAT THE UN-REVEALING, APPARENTLY,”STABLE WORLD” OF MAN’S SECONDARY, MENTAL REALITY, ONE MAN CHANGED HIS NAME TO, (AND I QUOTE): “I HAVE CHANGED MY NAME.”
…(IF YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE EVIDENTLY SEES, THEN TELL ME THAT THIS DOES NOT HAVE REAL POTENTIAL.)
* * *
WHEN ONE MAN HEARD A MAXIM THAT SAYS: “THE ULTIMATE RESULT IN SHIELDING MEN
FROM AN AWARENESS OF THEIR FOOLISHNESS
IS TO KEEP ALIVE A WORLD FILLED WITH FOOLS.”,
HE INSTANTLY THOUGHT OF HIS OWN STRUGGLE TO AWAKEN HIS CONSCIOUSNESS,
AND FREE UP HIS MENTAL CAPACITIES — AND SMILED.
MUSED HE, (AS HE POURED A CUP OF SLIGHT-SURPRISE, AND LIT UP A STOGY OF
MINOR-DELIGHT), “THE SENTIMENT JUST ABOUT COVERS.”, THOUGH AS HE SIPPED
AND LEISURELY PUFFED, HE MENTALLY ALTERED THE PROVERB SUFFICIENTLY TO
BRING IT IN LIVE WITH HIS OWN SUPERIOR UNDERSTANDING: “YES SIR, THAT JUST
ABOUT COVERS IT: ‘SHIELDING MEN FROM AN AWARENESS OF THEIR MENTAL FOOLISHNESS
SERVES ONLY TO KEEP MEN IN A STATE OF MENTAL FOOLISHNESS’.”
FACT: NO YAPPING DOG CAN BE QUIETED WHO IS NOT, HIMSELF —
— SICK OF THE NOISE.
OR: WHEN LIFE IS LIVED, UP TO YOUR EYE-BALLS IN FOOLISHNESS & SELF DECEPTION, YOU HAVE NO AWARENESS OF THE FOOLISHNESS & DECEPTION PREVAILING.
HINT: STOP THE NOISE — SEE THE FOOLISHNESS.
* * *
OUR OWN PRIVATE, “PROVERB” FOR THE DAY:
“THE DARKER IT IS — THE LOUDER YOU HAVE TO WHISTLE.”,
THIS PERTAINS TO THE SHAM BRAVADO AND FAUX CERTAINLY THAT MEN FIND NECESSARY TO DISPLAY AS THEY WALK PAST THE MORE IMAGINARY OF MENTAL GRAVEYARDS: THAT IS, (FOR EXAMPLE), WHY.: THE LESS SUBSTANCE THERE IS TO AN IDEA, THE MORE AGGRESSIVE! WILL IT BE PROMOTED BY ITS PROPONENTS: THE MORE THAT THE PRODUCT CONSISTS OF SMOKE — THE MORE SHRILL WILL BE THE SALES PITCH…ALL-IN-ALL: THE DEEPER IS AN IDEA ROOTED IN THE SECONDARY REALITY, THE MORE COMMOTION MUST BE MADE TO MAKE IT
SEEM REAL AND IMPORTANT. …(RIGHT HERE, WOULD ANYONE CARE TO CONSIDER THE MATTER OF YOUR SELF=PROCLAIMED INDIVIDUAL “I” AND YOU TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF.
99043-2
NOTE: PRIMARY REALITY DOESN’T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING
…ABOUT ITSELF — OR ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
PRIMARY REALITY JUST – IS (SAME AS YOU, [TRUTH BE KNOWN].)
* * *
ARGUMENTS OVER TRIFLING MENTAL MATTERS ARE ALWAYS THE BITTEREST: NOTE: ALL ARGUMENTS OVER MENTAL MATTERS ARE OVER MATTERS — TRIFLING.
* * *
ONE MAN NOTED: “WHEN MY VISION IF UNADORNED, AND THUS, UNENCUMBERED, I CAN SEE, CLEAR-AS-A-BELL, WHAT THIS IS_REALLY ALL ABOUT —
BUT WHEN MY ATTENTION IS NOT MY OWN,
I AM AS BLIND AS A DEAD MAN WITH CATARACTS.”
* * *
HOW IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE, (THOUGH NOT VISIBLE TO ROUTINE SIGHT):
EVERYONE IS FOOLED:
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THEY ARE FOOLED:
NO ONE EVER, TALKS-ABOUT-IT:
NO ONE CAN TALK ABOUT IT:
NO ONE IS CONSCIOUSLY AWARE THAT THEY KNOW THEY’RE BEING FOOLED AND
CAN’T SAY A WORD ABOUT IT — AND FINALLY:
EVERYONE WOULD PREFER THAT THIS MATTER NOT EVEN BE BROUGHT UP.
…WELL — SCREW, “EVERYONE, AND I FEEL FREE TO SAY THIS INASMUCH AS,
“EVERYONE”, (BESIDES BEING “OUT THERE, SEPARATE FROM MEL, ARE ALSO, IN HERE,
INSIDE OF ME.
“HI, EVERYONE — I’M EVERYONE TOO,
JUST LIKE YOU,
…ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT I AM CONSCIOUS OF IT, (WHICH ALLOWS SOME DEGREE OF ACTUAL, “INDIVIDUALITY”
WHILE YOU’RE ALL STUCK WITH JUST BEING, “EVERYONE — THE COLLECTIVE”!
…(THEN WAS ONE MAN SO STRUCK: “NO WONDER I CAN’T -‘THINK CLEARLY’ —
IT’S TOO — CROWDED INHERE WAY-Y-Y TOO CROWDED!”
99043-3
ONE MAN WAS ABLE TO SIGNIFICANTLY DECEASE THE NUMBER OF HIS AUDIBLE CONVERSATIONS: HE SAYS THE CHALLENGE NOW IS TO DO LIKEWISE WITH HIS SILENT ONES.
* * *
REMEMBER THE MAN WHO CHANGED HIS NAME TO: “I’VE CHANGED MY NAME.”?, WELL IT TURNS OUT THERE’S EVEN MORE NOTABLE TO HIM:
HE ALSO REQUIRES THAT ANY PHOTOGRAPH OF HIM MUST BEAR THE CAPTION: “THIS IS NOT A PHOTOGRAPH OF ME.”
* * *
YACKIN’ IS ONE THING —
BEING FIXATED ON YOUR OWN IS SOMETHING ELSE AGAIN.
LETTING ‘FANCIFUL MODIFIERS OF:THINGS, ILLUSIONARY
PULL YOU MORE DEEPLY INTO THEIR IMAGINARY REALITY
IS A PRETTY RELIABLE SIGN THAT YOU ARE NOT YET, (SHALL WE SAY),
“AS AWAKE & CONSCIOUS AS IS ULTIMATELY POSSIBLE.” …(YES, LET’S SAY THAT.)
REMINDER: THINGS NOTED ABOUT MAN, THAT ROUTINE MINDS FIND,”INSULTING” SHOULD, (BY THE FEW), ALWAYS BE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED, (FOR REASONS YOU SURELY RECOGNIZE BY NOW.)
* * *
THERE WAS ONCE A MAN WHO WAS WIDELY KNOWN AND RESPECTED FOR HIS LIFE LONG ACTIVITY OF SPEAKING ABOUT THE MATTER OF, “AWAKENING”, AND WHO, WHEN PERIODICALLY ASKED IF — HE WAS AWAKE?, WOULD ALWAYS REPLY:
“I DON’T KNOW.”, THEN WHEN HE WAS ON HIS DEATH BED,
HIS_CLOSEST CONFIDANT.& STUDENT OF HIS WORDS ASKED FOR SOME FINAL CLARIFICATION: “PLEASE EXPLAIN_TO-ME WHY, WHENEVER YOU WERE ASKED IF YOU WERE AWAKE
YOU WOULD ALWAYS REPLY THAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW?! PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?!”,
AND THE DYING ONE REPLIED: “THERE IS NOTHING TO EXPLAIN ABOUT WHAT I SAID: IT WAS A SIMPLE, STATEMENT-OF-FACT;
AND IF YOU CONTINUE ON, THE DAY WILL COME WHEN YOUR” UNDERSTANDING OF THIS ENTIRE AFFAIR WILL REACH SUCH PROPORTIONS THAT YOU TOO WILL BE ABLE TO SAY:
“AM I — ‘AWAKE” I DO NOT KNOW.” & YOU WILL BE GREATLY PLEASED
AND RELIEVED.”

A NEW METAPHORICAL TWIST ON A PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED ALLEGORY:
WHILE THOSE STRIVING FOR ENLIGHTENMENT PERCEIVE THEMSELVES AS BEING IN PARIS, AND TRYING TO REACH ISTANBUL,
THE TRUTH IS THAT EVERYONE — IN PART — IS BORN IN THAT MYSTICAL TURKISH BURG EVERYONE, FROM THE VERBAL AREA OF THE BRAIN DOWN,
WAS ACTUALLY BORN IN THE VERY SPOT THEY NOW BELIEVE THEY SEEK.
NOTE: I SAY THIS IS A “NEW” TAKE ON THE MATTER,
IN THAT SIMILAR COMMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE BEFORE — BUT
THEY A-LL TEND TO INDICATE THAT MAN”IN TOTO” IS ALREADY WHERE HE BELIEVES THAT
HE ULTIMATELY WANTS TO BE ….WHICH SEEMS DEMONSTRATIVELY, UN-TRUE,
BUT IF YOU MOMENTARILY ADOPT MY VIEW, (JUST PRESENTED),
THE WHOLE CLAIM OF MAN ALREADY POSSESSING EVERYTHING HE LONGS & SEARCHES FOR
WILL FINALLY MAKE SOME IMMEDIATE AND PRACTICAL SENSE, (THAT IS):
EVERYONE — EN PART — POSSESSES WHAT THEY SEEK,(OR PUT EVEN BETTER YET):
EVERYONE — IN PART, AND, “EN PART” ONLY — HAS THE CAPACITY TO
RECOGNIZE THAT WITHIN THEM,
TS ALREADY, NATURALLY PRESENT — ALL THAT THEY’RE SEARCHING FOR.
(BACK TO THE ALLEGORY): SO —
EVERYONE — “IN PART” — (AND MAY I NOTE, IN THE MOST IMPORTANT PART),
IS BORN IN ISTANBUL —
BORN INTO A STATE OF: CLEAR CONSCIOUSNESS OF LIFE,
WHILE ANOTHER “PART OF THEM” IS EITHER NOT ALSO “BORN THERE”,
OR ELSE IT LACKS THE AWARENESS THAT IT WAS….
…EITHER POSSIBILITY, AND THE STORY TURNS OUT THE SAME:
THE PRESENT SENSATION IS THAT YOU LIVE, AT LEAST — PARTIALLY IN —
TWO DIFFERENT AND SEPARATE LOCALES,
BUT JUST AS A LONG-TIME TRAVELER ON A TRAIN CAN BECOME
SLOWLY AND UN-NOTICEABLY OVERCOME
BY THE FUMES FROM THE ENGINE AND BEGIN TO — HALLUCINATE ABOUT HIS JOURNEY —
SO TOO CAN HAPPEN TO THE ARM-CHAIR TRAVELER WHO SITS & MERELY – DREAMS ABOUT
THAT MAGICAL PASSAGE.
…THAT, “MAGICAL PASSAGE” NOT AN ACTUAL GOING FROM — “HERE TO THERE”,
BUT THE UNSCHEDULED, SUPERNATURAL AWARENESS OF WHERE YOU ARE — IN TOTO -WHICH, (UNEXPECTED BY EVEN THE MOST ASTUTE EXCURSIONIST), PROVES TO PROVIDE THE SUPREME SATISFACTION AND FINAL “ANSWER” TO ALL OF YOUR, “QUESTIONS”.

THIS IS NOT TOTALLY DISSIMILAR TO THE COLLOQUIALISM THAT SAYS: “THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING JUST A — PLAIN OLE HOUND DOG — IF YOU, KNOW THAT YOU ARE.”
* * *
ONE MAN WHO, “LIVED FOR THE WEEKEND”
SAYS THAT HIS FAVORITE DAY, (OTHER THAN THOSE), WAS WEDNESDAY —
SINCE IT,(BEING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE),
MADE HIM FEEL AT LEAST — HALF ALIVE, AND ONLY — HALF DEAD.
…(AND SOMEONE WHO HEARD HIM MAKE THIS COMMENT
FELL INTO A MOMENTARY, “INTERNAL SWOON”
AS THEY WERE STRUCK BY THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN IT AND
HIS, SO-CALLED — “CONTINUING ATTEMPTS TO BE, ‘MORE CONSCIOUS’
AT THIS VERY INSTANT.”
..AND A CERTAIN ALLEGED, “MYSTICAL TEACHER”
UPON HEARING ABOUT THIS MAN’S MENTAL REACTIONS TO THE FIRST MAN’S COMMENT,
SAID TO HIMSELF: “I DON’T GET IT?’ I DON’T SEE ANY WAY THE TWO ARE CONNECTED?’
…[DO YOU RECKON THIS IS WHY HE’S AN “ALLEGED”, WHATEVER HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE? …(BUT [N ALL FAIRNESS I SHOULD BRING UP THE DECENT DEFENSE OF MAN THAT: “EVERYONE IS JUST AN “ALLEGED” VERSION OF WHAT THEY ACTUALLY ARE.”
…[NOW THERE’S A COLLOQUIALISM YOU CAN — TAKE HOME TO MAMA.)])
* * *
THEN ONE MAN TRIED TO RAISE THIS COMPLAINT:
“BUT IF I KEEP WALKING AROUND, ALL THE TIME ASKING MYSELF: ‘WHAT IS THE MIND?!’ I MIGHT EVENTUALLY — DRIVE MY MIND CRAZY!”.
..(YOU KNOW, I STILL DON’T BELIEVE HE GETS IT WHAT D’YA THINK?’ )
AND NOW FOR TONIGHT’S: “CORRECTED HISTORICAL TIDBIT”:
IN RESPONSE TO”DASTARDLY BART’S”INQUIRY AS TO HIS APPARENTLY, “UN-FRIENDLY INTENTIONS” TOWARD HIM, THE”RINGO KID” REPLIED: “I’M NOT SO MUCH TRYING TO –‘DRIVE YOU BATTY’
AS I AM SIMPLY TRYING TO — DRIVE YOU OUT OF TOWN.
…COME ON,DASTARDLY, COOPERATE — HELP ME OUT HERE —
YOU’VE SURELY GOT SOME PLACE ELSE YOU COULD GO —
— THERE MUST BE SOME PEOPLE SOME WHERE WHO’LL — TAKE-YOU-IN?!”
(IS ANYONE HERE ABLE TO HEAR
WHAT THE RINGO KID IS IN TRUTH, TRYING TO POINT TO VIA VERBIAGE?!.. -OR BETTER YET DOES ANY BEGIN TO SUSPICION THE LEGITIMACY & INGENUOUSNESS OF THESE TYPES OF
QUESTIONS I SO OFTEN TACK ON TO THE END OF
99043-6
THEN ONE MAN TRIED TO RAISE THIS APPARENTLY, “FAVORABLE” POINT:
“AT THOSE TIMES WHEN I AM NOT ACTIVELY fN CONTROL OF MY ATTENTION, AND THUS,
1J MORE CONSCIOUS,
AT LEAST I ENJOY AND — SURELY-BENEFIT-FROM —
THINKING ABOUT ALL MANNER OF THINGS HAVING TO DO WITH BEING MORE AWAKE.”,
…ALTHOUGH I HAVE NO HISTORICAL PROOF IN HAND,
I AM STILL LEAD TO BELIEVE THAT SUCH SENTIMENTS WERE,(AND CONTINUE TO BE),
THE SONGS MOST FAVORED BY CINDERELLA DURING HER PRESENCE AT THE IMAGINARY BALL.
“BUT….BUT”, SPUTTERS ANOTHER CHAP,
“IT IS MORE FUN, AND SURELY MORE BENEFICIAL
TO BE THINKING ABOUT THINGS RELATED TO THE STRUGGLE TO AWAKEN
THAN IT IS TO JUST BE LETTING YOUR MIND DRIFT ALONG WITH WHATEVER STRAY THOUGHTS
MAY COME TO IT.
“SURELY, SURELY.”, HE SPUTTERED ON, “THIS MUST BE TRUE.” — WELL!!
YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE
THE SERIOUS DEGREE TO WHICH THIS MAN’S UNDERSTANDING IS LACKING….HUMMPH,
HIM CONCLUDING HIS PROFESSED OBSERVATION WITH THE COMMENT: ‘THIS MUST BE TRUE’
— ‘MUST BE — TRUE’ !?!? —
WHAT GREATER POSSIBILITY COULD PRESENT ITSELF FOR A MAN TO REALIZE,
VIA HIS OWN WORDS,
THE FOOLISHNESS AND SELF DECEPTION BROUGHT ON BY HIS WORDS?!
FROM ONE VIEW: RATHER THAN SUBJECTING YOURSELF TO SOME COMPLEX, AND HARSH, “SYSTEM FOR AWAKENING”,
YOU COULD TAKE THE SIMPLE AND DIRECT APPROACH OF:
LISTENING CLOSELY AND CONSCIOUSLY TO ALL OF YOUR OWN WORDS AND THOUGHTS.
..(IF THAT WON’T DO IT, NOTHING WILL. [NOTE: THAT WILL — “DO IT”.])
ONE MAN’S ATTENTION SO MUSED: “THERE IS A PROVERB RELATING TO
BACCHUS -LIKE ACTIVITY WHICH SAYS:
“FIRST THE MAN TAKES A DRINK:
THEN THE DRINK TAKES A DRINK:
THEN THE DRINK TAKES THE MAN.”….HOW MUCH VERY, VERY SIMILAR IS MY SITUATION
IN REGARD TO THOUGHT.”
99043-7
YET ANOTHER WAY TO CONSIDER THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE PHYSICAL, PRIMARY WORLD IN WHCIH MAN LIVES, AND THE MENTAL, SECONDARY ONE THAT LIVES IN HIM:
MEN WHO ARE MOSTLY STANDING AMIDST THE SECONDARY REALITY,
ARE GIVEN TO SAY THAT:
“WE MUST BE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIVES WE NOW LEAD
BECAUSE OF THE EFFECT IT WILL HAVE ON GENERATIONS TO COME.”,
WHEREAS, IF A MAN WAS GIVEN TO VERBALIZATION WHILE HE WAS FOR THE MOST PART,
A-CREATURE-OF-THE-PRIMARY-REALM,
HIS VIEW OF THIS MATTER WOULD BE EXPRESSED MORE ALONG THIS LINE:
“WHAT IS THE BASIS FOR ANY CONCERN?! — FOR:
WHAT EFFECT CAN GENERATIONS-TO-COME HAVE ON ME.”
PUT OTHERWISE IN QUERY FORM:
WHY GIVE ANY THOUGHT TO THE DEAD? — WHAT CAN THEY POSSIBLY, “DO FOR YOU”?! (AND IF YOU LIKE THAT ONE, APPLY IT QUICKLY TO THE QUESTION OF
WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE ANY NOTICE TO THE THOUGHTS THAT PASS CONTINUALLY THRU YOU, FOR THEY TOO, (AFTER ALL), ARE: “PRODUCTS-AFTER-THE-FACT” AND THUS — LIFELESS?
SO — LET’S RE-PHRASE SOMETHING FROM THE ABOVE:
“WHAT IS THE BASIS FOR MY CONCERN & INTEREST IN MY THOUGHTS?! -WHAT REAL EFFECT CAN THE,’NON-SUBSTANTIAL’ ACTUALLY HAVE ON ME?! …(UNLESS OF COURSE:’I PLAY ALONG’ ?!?!”
ORDINARY MINDS FRET OVER THE FUTURE AND PINE ABOUT THE PAST
SO’S THEY WON’T GET STUCK WITH SIMPLY DEALING WITH THE — HERE-&-NOW. ….[“JEEZE!”, SAID ONE MAN, “HOW BORING.”,
YES SIR, I UNDERSTAND FULLY WHY YOU CAN SAY THAT:
WHEN YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS KNOWS ONLY THE NATURAL MODE
IT FINDS VERY LITTLE [N THE INSTANT MOMENT TO BE OF INTEREST AND MEANING. THIS IS WHY I CAN SAY:”THE SLEEPING ARE ALWAYS –‘OUT-OF-THE-HOUSE’, WHILE THE AWAKENED KEEP THE – ‘HOME-FIRES-BURNING’.”
LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS: WHO IS GOING TO LOOK AFTER THE BEST INTERESTS OF YOUR
CONSCIOUSNESS IF YOU DON’T?’ AND: JUST WHAT THE HELL CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT
IF YOU’RE NEVER HOME?!
AS I AM ALSO GIVEN TO NOTE: IT’S ULTIMATELY ALL QUITE SIMPLE:
QUITE UNEXPECTED, EVEN POTENTIALLY ANNOYING & PERPLEXING FOR A MOMENT, BUT STILL, (IN THE HOME-STRETCH): IT ALL TURNS OUT TO BE: QUITE SIMPLE,
(AND ABOVE ALL): SIMPLY — SATISFYING. (WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR?!)
