MY NEWS FOR JUNE 11, 1999
QUESTION: WHAT MIGHT BE THE MOST PROMISING THING A MAN COULD EVER THINK? ANSWER: “I AM NOT MYSELF TODAY —
FOR IF I WERE I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT SUCH A THING,”
IF WE FOR THE MOMENT CALL THE SECRET WE SEEK, “THE BELOVED” THEN HEAR THIS: WHILE YOU CANNOT STARE DIRECTLY AT THE BELOVED,
NEITHER CAN YOU LOOK TOO FAR AWAY FROM HER WITHOUT LOSING HER,
A MAN ASKED A MYSTIC: “HOW DID YOU ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT?”, AND THE WISE ONE REPLIED: “MY HORMONES MADE ME DO IT.” NOTE: IF A MAN INDEED “KNEW” WHAT MAKES HIM DO ANYTHING HE WOULDN’T NEED TO TRY AND AWAKEN,
THE SIGN PROCLAIMED THESE WORDS:”‘THE TRIUMPH OF TYPE’: HOW CAN A FIRE START ITSELF, OR A CUP, FILL ITSELF?
HOW CAN AN ITEM ALREADY EXISTING MAKE CHANGES IN ITSELF?”
IS THIS PERHAPS WHY YOU CANNOT SEEM TO MAKE PERMANENT THAT CERTAIN,
‘CHANGE-OF-STATE’ OF WHICH YOU SO OFTEN SPEAK? —
IS THAT EXPERIENCE PERHAPS DESTINED TO ALWAYS BE BUT A FLEETING THING,
IN THAT A CUP CAN NEVER FILL ITS OWN SELF, AND THAT,
‘TYPE WILL ALWAYS TRIUMPH’?,
EVEN IF IT DOES TAKE A COUPLE OF SECONDS FOR IT TO KICK
…OR 24, OR 72 HOURS, OR WHATEVER — BUT THAT
TYPE WILL EVENTUALLY PREVAIL?
WHAT IF”. THE SIGN CONCLUDED, “THE INSTINCTS OF YOUR TYPE WILL ALWAYS TRIUMPH OVER ALL YOUR EFFORTS TO EFFECT PERMANENT CHANGE IN YOUR HUMANITY?!”
OKAY THEN, LET’S RECONSIDER SOMETHING: WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY PROVE TO BE THE MOST INSIGHTFUL WORDS A MAN COULD EVER THINK? ANSWER: “I AM NOT AT ALL MYSELF TODAY.”
99084-2
A MAN SAID TO A MYSTIC: “I FIND THAT I RESIST THE APPROACH OF, ‘SEEKING-THE-BELOVED’ LEAST I BECOME BOGGED DOWN IN SENTIMENTALITY.”, AND THE MYSTIC REPLIED: “AND :[N WHAT ARE YOU PRESENTLY BOGGED?”
QUESTION: HOW CAN A MAN BEL[EVE HIMSELF INTELLIGENT IF, FOR ANY REASON HE RESISTS THAT WHICH MIGHT PROFIT HIM?’
AND AS HE WENT UNDER WATER FOR THE FINAL TIME, THE STRUGGLING MAN SHOUTED AGAIN AS HE REFUSED TO TAKE THE OFFERED HAND OF RESCUE:
“I’D PERFER TO DROWN THAN TO TAKE HELP FROM A: PRIEST, RABBI, LAWYER, BANKER”, (FILL IN ANY NAME YOU LIKE).
A MAN’S STOMACH HAS A MORE DIRECT BEARING ON HIS THINKING STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAN DO ALL OF THE: GODS, PHILOSOPHIES, GOVERNMENTS, AND METHODS TO AWAKEN EVEN CONCEIVED OF BY MAN.
WHAT IS “TYPE”?: YOUR ‘HABITUAL-BEING-OF-YOU’ IS THE ANSWER TO THAT.
A MAN SAYS: “I ONCE WANTED THINGS TO BECOME ‘PERFECT’, AND THAT I THEN BE ABLE TO, ‘BRONZE THEM’, (YOU KNOW: ‘FREEZE THE MOMENT FOREVER’).
BUT WHAT I NOW BELIEVE I DESIRE MOST IS TO BECOME A, ‘DEALER-IN-BRONZE’.”
ONE GUY’S LATEST PONDER: “YOU FIGURE MAYBE WE’RE GIVEN THE ABILITY TO THINK AS JUST SOME KINDA JOKE?!”
SUGGESTION: DON’T TALK TO ANYONE WHOSE CONVERSATION DOESN’T MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER…MORE ALERT…AND SATISFIED FOR THE MOMENT, TO LET ALL CONVERSATION CEASE.
AT THE “MYSTIC’S FOLK MUSIC FESTIVAL” THE MOST POPULAR SONG OF THE WEEKEND WAS ONE ENTITLED: “HEY MAW, I’M ALL PUT BACK TOGETHER NOW, RAG.”,
WHICH, [F TRUE, WOULD NEVER BE PERFORMED IN THAT A “WHOLE MAN” DOESN’T
HAVE SONGS AND SUCH FLOWING FROM HIS MOUTH.
AN ENLIGHTENED MAN’S GOAL IS TO, “DRIVE EVERY WISE MAN CRAZY”,
THAT IS: TO TURN ALL OF HIS THINKING INTO FEELINGS —
— INSTINCTIVE FEELINGS OF GOOD WILL.
(AND ONE MAN THOUGHTS OF HIS OWN PRIVATE BELOVED AS: “YOUR ROYAL WHOLENESS”.)
99084-3
AT “THE ENLIGHTENED MYSTICS’ FOLK MUSIC FESTIVAL”, THE MOST POPULAR REFRAIN WAS NEVER HEARD INATHAT A WHOLE MAN MAKES NO NOISE,
THE “BELOVED” IS CONSCIOUSNESS, UNMOVED:
THE DESPISED IS YOUR CONDITION WHEREIN SHE WILL NOT COME TO YOU.
SUBJECT: “THE CURSE OF A CERTAIN SORT”: A”THOUGHT-INTOXICATED-MAN”, EVEN AFTER ENLIGHTENMENT, STILL TENDS TO FEEL THAT THERE’S SOMETHING LEFT TO “FIGURE OUT”!
BE DRUNK WITH LOVE:
WHEN YOU’RE SOBER YOU FALL VICTIM TO EVERY PASSING THOUGHT,
WHEN YOU BEGIN, YOU SEE ‘TWO IN ONE”:
LATER YOU REALIZE THAT IT IS, “ONE IN TWO” ONE IN EVERYTHING,
ORDINARY PEOPLE THINK & TALK ABOUT ORDINARY THINGS
WHILE MYSTICAL PEOPLE THINK & TALK ABOUT EXTRAORDINARY THINGS, BUT BOTH OF THEIR TALK & THOUGHT IS ALL THE SAME,
ALL TALK, EVEN ABOUT AWAKENING, IS JUST THE READING OF OLD MAGAZINES
IN THE WAITING ROOM TO TRY AND STALL OFF GOING ON IN TO THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE GO ON IN — COLLECT THE PRIZE YOU’VE BEEN LONGING FOR
TIP: THE BELOVED NEVER SPEAKS TO YOU:
IF YOU HEAR TALKING GOING ON BETWEEN YOU, IT IS YOU TALKING TO HER, AND IF YOU WILL NOTICE: WHEN YOU START TALKING TO HER, SHE DEPARTS,
QUESTION: JUST WHO IS THE UNIVERSE’S MOST IRRITATED AND AGITATED MAN? ANSWER: A MYSTIC WHO, FOR THE MOMENT, CAN’T FIND HIS BELOVED,
COSMICALLY PI-ISSED! (IN A METAPHYSICAL SENSE, OF COURSE.)
ONE MAN WOULD CONSTANTLY SAY TO HIMSELF: “TAKE YOUR TIME…WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.”, TO WHICH HIS THOUGHTS WOULD REPLY: “WELL, WE SURE ARE!, JUST WATCH US: ROUND AND AROUND: UP AND DOWN: BACK AND FORTH, WHERE!, JUST LOOK AT US! — AREN’T YOU EVER GONNA CATCH ON, YOU CHUMP?!, (AND THE MAN’S MAMA SAID THAT A BOY’S THOUGHTS SHOULDN’T AUGHTTA TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT!)
99084-4
A MAN ASKED A MYSTIC: “ARE YOU AWAKE?”, AND THE MYSTIC REPLIED:
“I DON’T KNOW.”,….NO, HOLD ON, IT WAS A MAN WHO ASKED HIMSELF, YEAH:
A MAN ASKED HIMSELF: “ARE YOU AWAKE?”, AND REPLIED: “I DON’T KNOW.”,
THEN HE ASKED HIMSELF: “ARE YOU ASLEEP?”, AND HE ANSWERED: “I DON’T KNOW.”
SO HE ASKED HIMSELF: “DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE TERMS, ‘BEING AWAKE’,
AND, ‘BEING ASLEEP’ MEAN?”, AND HE REPLIED: “PROBABLY.”,
THEN HE ASKED HIMSELF: “SO OF WHAT USE IS IT TO JUST ‘KNOW’ WHAT
THEY ARE?”, AND HE REPLIED: “AT THIS STAGE OF THE GAME,
PROBABLY NONE,”, AND THEN RHETORICALLY QUERIED HIMSELF:
“BUT,(JUST GENERALLY SPEAKING), IT IS PROBABLY GOOD TO AT LEAST HAVE
THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEM, RIGHT?!”,
“PROBABLY.”, HE REPLIED,
“SINCE NOW THAT I DO KNOW ABOUT THE TWO IDEAS
I HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER.”
QUESTION FOR YOU: HOW DOES A PERSON KNOW WHETHER HE “KNOWS”
A PARTICULAR THING OR NOT? —
DOES IT NOT ALWAYS DEPEND ON SOME REACTION, SOME FEEDBACK,
SOME ASSURANCE OR CORRECTION FROM ANOTHER PERSON OR PERSONS?! -THEN HOW CAN A MYSTIC EVER TRULY KNOW WHETHER HE IS “AWAKE” OR NOT SINCE NO SUCH PERTINENT, EXTERNAL ASSURANCE EXISTS?
WHAT IF IT’S LIKE THIS: ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE “ASLEEP” BECAUSE MYSTICS
SAY THAT THEY ARE,
AND MYSTICS ARE “TRYING TO AWAKEN” BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE?!,
BUT ALL THE WHILE IGNORING THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE NO STANDARD
OUTSIDE OF THEIR SELF BY WHICH TO JUDGE WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED?!
WHAT IF ALL SUCH AS THIS JUST SEEMS TO BE CORRECT BECAUSE TO MYSTICS
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT’S CORRECT –
…BUT HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT SAYING THAT PEOPLE ARE “ASLEEP”
SURE DOESN’T “SOUND CORRECT” TO 99% OF THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD?!
…WHAT D’YA SAY TO THAT?!
AND A MYSTIC ASKED HIMSELF: “WHO AM I GOING TO TRUST:
MY HEAD OR MY HEART?: MY THOUGHTS OR MY FEELINGS?: MY IDEAS OR MY
PHYSICAL INSTINCTS? HEY, WHO THE HELL AM I TALKING TO ANY WAYS’
AND WORSE YET: WHO IS IT THAT I’M EXPECTING TO ANSWER ME?!”
AS REGARDS SAYING WHAT YOU ARE, CONCERNING A CERTAIN MATTER:
IF YOU SAY THAT YOU ARE, NOT ONLY ARE YOU NOT, BUT YOU HAVE ALSO MOMENTARILY LOST ALL COMPREHENSION OF WHAT IT IS.

AT THE PARIS TRAIN STATION, AN APPARENT, WELL-TRAVELED, & WEARY PASSENGER ASKED THE TICKET TAKER ON THE PLATFORM:
“HOW CAN I REMAIN IN ISTANBUL ONCE I GET THERE?”,AND THE UNIFORMED ONE REPLIED: “REARRANGE YOUR MOLECULAR STRUCTURE:
ALTER THE WORKING ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN YOUR NEURONS & YOUR HORMONES: BETWEEN YOUR INSTINCTS AND YOUR IDEAS: BETWEEN HOW YOU THINK AND HOW YOU FEEL.”, AND THE PASSENGER SAID: “WOW, THAT SIMPLE, HUH?!”
ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU: SHOULD WE CALL IT, “RELIEF”
TO FINALLY FACT UP TO THE FACT THAT 2 PLUS 2 WILL NEVER BE 6?!
AN ENLIGHTENED MAN SAID: “I MUST KEEP MY MIND ON THE MATTER AT HAND.”, THEN SOMEONE SAID TO HIM: “BUT THERE IS NOT REALLY ANY MATTER AT HAND.”, “PRECISELY.”, HE REPLIED, “SO YOU DO GET THE PO[NT?!”
TWO MYSTICS WERE DISCUSSING THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE TASK THEY’D UNDERTAKEN, AND ONE OF THEM SAID: “WE ACTUALLY LIVE THE LIFE OF THE MYTHICAL SISYPHUS.”, AND THE OTHER SNORTED HIS REJECTION OF THE COMPARISON AND SAID: “NAY, FOR AT LEAST HIS “PROBLEM’, (PUSHING THE BOULDER UP THE MOUNTAIN), DIDN’T RETURN AND ROLL BACK OVER HIM EXCEPT ONCE A DAY,
WHEREAS OURS RETURNS TO US MINUTE BY MINUTE.”
AN AWAKENED MAN IS A “FREE MAN”,
AND A “FREE MAN” IS A MAN WHO IS FREE OF THE DELUSIONARY DEBATE OVER WHETHER MAN IS FREE OR NOT,
TWO MYSTICS WERE DISCUSSING DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO ACHIEVING THEIR GOAL, AND ONE SAID: “WHAT WE NEED ARE MORE POETIC PLEAS TO GOD FROM OUR HEART.”, AND THE OTHER COUNTERED: “NO, WHAT WE NEED ARE INTELLECTUAL REJECTIONS FROM OUR HEAD OF SUCH EMOTIONAL NOTIONS.”,
AND EVENTUALLY THE TWO SAW THE BENEFIT IN MELTING THEMSELVES DOWN TO THEIR MOLECULAR ESSENTIALS AND THEN MERGING TO RE-FORM AN ENTIRELY NEW PERSON, (ALTHOUGH THEIR FAMILIES & FRIENDS, AND ALL THE LOCAL PRIESTS, RABBIS, MULLAS, PHILOSOPHERS, PSYCHIATRISTS, BANKERS, PROFESSORS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND OTHERS IN OFFICIAL & BUREAUCRATIC POSITIONS EXPRESSED THEIR DISAPPROVAL,OF, IF NOT DISBELIEF THAT, SUCH AN ACTION WAS POSSIBLE.
99084-6
ONE MAN HIRED A BLUE JAY TO AWAKEN HIM EVERY MORNING,
AND THE BLUE JAY HIRED A SQUIRREL TO AWAKEN HIM EVERY MORNING,
AND THE SQUIRREL HIRED A CAT TO AWAKEN HIM EVERY MORNING,
AND THE CAT HIRED A DOG TO AWAKEN HIM EVERY MORNING,
AND THE DOG HIRED AN ALLIGATOR TO AWAKEN HIM EVERY MORNING…SO…
I GUESS (?!) THAT THE MAN GOT HIS MONEY’S WORTH, HUH?!
CREATURES WITH A CERTAIN BRAIN STRUCTURE CAN BE LOCKED SECURELY
EN A ROOM AND YET COME UP WITH GRAND, COSMIC QUESTIONS SUCH AS:
“DOES MAN OR DOES MAN NOT HAVE -‘FREE WILL’?”
NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY CAGE A CREATURE’S BODY:
IF IT CAN “THINK” IT WILL,(BY-&-LARGE), THINK THAT IT’S UN-CAGED,
AND IT’S HEART, (IT’S INSTINCTS), WON”T GIVE THE MATTER
MUCH ATTENTION, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER,
NOTE: WHILE ALL THAT I’VE JUST SAID MAY SOUND TO YOU AS FEASIBLE AND
LIKELY — ENLIGHTENING, EVEN —
IT’S ALL JUST A STRING OF SOUNDS PRODUCED BY A CERTAIN BRAIN STRUCTURE,
AND HAS NO MORE RELEVANCE TO THE LIVES THAT THINKING CREATURES
ACTUALLY LEAD THAN DOES THE WARBLING THAT SOME TREE-CLIMBING ALLIGATORS
HAVE LEARNED TO MAKE IN THE MORNING
HAS ON THEIR NORMAL, REPTILIAN EXISTENCE,
WHILE NOT YET REALIZED BY ZOOLOGISTS OR ANTHROPOLOGISTS,
ALL ANIMALS WORSHIP A GOD, AND IN FACT PRACTICE ONE CERTAIN ASPECT
OF HUMAN RELIGIONS THAT MORTALS SIMPLE PREACH, (THAT IS):
THEY ACTUALLY WORSHEP BUT, “ONE GOD”:
IT IS ONLY THE “INFIDELS”, (ANIMALS WHO CAN THINK),
WHO MISS-THE-MARK AND BOW DOWN TO MULTIPLE GODS,
AND IN SO DOING, THE STAGE IS SET FOR A FEW OF THEM TO DEVELOP,
AND ATTEMPT TO PURSUE THE IDEA OF, “WAKING UP”, I’M SORRY,
I MEANT TO SAY: CAUSING A FEW OF THEM TO DEVELOP A POORLY UNDERSTOOD,
“DISTASTE” FOR THE WORSHIP OF MULTIPLE GODS, (WHICH STRIKES THE OTHER
ANIMALS AS SILLY, SINCE THEY STILL REALIZE THAT THERE HAS ALWAYS ONLY
BEEN THE ONE GOD, AND THAT THE THINKING ANIMALS HAVE ONLY IMAGINED
THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE ONES, (ALTHOUGH THE THINKING CREATURES
DO NOT CALL THEM BY THE ACTUAL NAME, “GODS”.
NOTE: THE WORSHIP OF MULTIPLE GODS FORMS THE PRISON FROM WHICH YOUR MIND SAYS IT WANTS TO ESCAPE.

EVERY MORNING WHEN THE ALARM WOULD GO OFF,
ONE MAN WOULD CRACK OPEN ONE EYE,
LAY THERE FOR A MOMENT, THEN TH[NK TO HIMSELF:
“WHY SHOULD I GET UP, THIS EXACT SECONDS
….AND HE’D LAY THERE A WHILE LONGER, THEN ASK HIMSELF AGAIN:
“AND WHY SHOULD I GET UP AT THIS VERY SECOND?!”
….THEN HE’D LAY THERE SOME MORE….THEN HE’D ASK HIMSELF THE
QUESTION AGAIN,…THEN HE’D LAY A WHILE LONGER…THEN ASK HIMSELF
AGAIN, UNTIL FINALLY — SUDDENLY — HE’D JUST GET UP OUT OF BED.
SUCH IS THE L[FE OF BOTH THE SLEEPING & THE AWAKE,
AND TO BE OF THE LATTER, ALL YOU NEED DO IS IGNORE ALL THAT TAKES PLACE
BEFORE YOU SUDDENLY JUST: “GET UP OUT OF BED”.
QUERY: WHO PLOTS WITH THEIR STOMACH TO EAT?,
OR WITH THEIR LUNGS TO BREATHE?,
AND WHAT’S THE POINT IN PAYING ATTENTION TO THOUGHTS IN THE HEAD
THAT HAVE LONG AGO BEEN PROVEN TO BE IRRELEVANT TO THE CONTROLLING
DICTATES OF THE HEART’S INSTINCTS WHICH ARE WHAT SUSTAINS ANY CREATURE’S
LIFE?, (OR EVEN CALLED BY SOME THINKING ANIMALS: “THE INESCAPABLE
DEMANDS OF GOD”….BUT CALL IT WHAT YOU MAY — THERE IT IS.
BUT NOTE: PUTTING THE RESPONSIBILITY ON A “GOD” WHO IS SOME FIGURE, OR
FORCE OUTSIDE OF THE CREATURE CONCEIVING OF SUCH,
SEEMS TO MAKE THE FACT THAT:
THE BLUE JAY YOU H[RED TO AWAKEN YOU HIRED A SQUIRREL TO AWAKEN IT,
(AND SO ON), MORE TOLERABLE TO SUCH “MENTALLY-CONCEIVING-CREATURES”,
…AND FROM SHIPPING & RECEIVING A VOICE DEFENSIVELY YELLED OUT: “HEY, DON’T LOOK AT ME — I JUST, ‘WORK HERE’! -THE HOME OFFICE MADE ME DO IT.”
IF YOU WORSHIP MULTIPLE GODS, (STRICTLY A CUSTOM OF THINKING ANIMALS),
YOU YOURSELF WILL ALWAYS FEEL MULTIPLIED, (THAT IS: FRAGMENTED….
NOT UNIFIED & WHOLE.
REALIZING THE REALITY BEHIND THE “ONE GOD DOCTRINE”
IS WHAT AWAKENS THE HEAD, AND SETS FREE FROM IMAGINARY CAPTIVITY,THE HEART.

POP QUIZ: HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE NOT DEAD? -BY THE FACT THAT YOU’RE ALIVE:
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE NOT: ASLEEP, CAPTIVE & DELUDED? -BY THE FACT THAT YOU CAN CONCEIVE OF SUCH A QUESTION,
ONE MAN BELIEVED THAT HIS HOME WAS CONTINUALLY INVADED BY INTRUDERS
WHO HE WOULD CHASE AWAY, AGAIN AND AGAIN, ONLY TO HAVE THEM RETURN,
AGAIN AND AGAIN:
THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION HE DISCOVERED WAS,
RATHER THAN RESISTING THEM,
HE BECAME THEIR SHADOW — NAY, ACTUALLY MERGED WITH THEM,
UPON THEIR APPEARANCE HE WOULD IMMEDIATELY JUMP INTO THEIR CLOTHES
WITH THEM;
DO WHATEVER THEY DID:
THINK WHATEVER THEY THOUGHT:
FEEL WHATEVER THEY FELT,
SIMPLY BECAME IN FACT,
INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE INTRUDERS.
HE AND THOSE WHO INVADED HIM BECOME A SINGLE, INDIVISIBLE ENTITY: THE MAN CEASED TO WORSHIP MULTIPLE GODS.
ONCE HE DISCOVERED TO DO THIS: HE HAD A SAMMICH, A GLASS OF MILK,
TOOK A LEAK, FLIPPED OFF THE LIGHT AND WENT TO BED ‘NUFF SAID.
NOW, GOOD NIGHT TO ALL OF YOU FROM ALL OF ME HERE AT THE,
“MAKE BELIEVE NEWS ROOM”, WHERE WE’RE ALWAYS ASKING YOU:
“WHY NOT ‘MAKE BELIEVE’ THAT YOU ARE NOT ASLEEP & DELUDED
SO THAT YOU TOO CAN STOP CHASING MULTIPLE INTRUDERS, AND TURN YOUR
ATTENTION TO THE REALITY THAT IT IS ALL AN INDIVISIBLE WHOLE,
AND THAT IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE ESSENCE OF WHAT YOU ARE
TO BE INVADED,
IN THAT WHATEVER MAY SEEM TO BE THE INTRUSION INTO YOU,
IS ACTUALLY — YOU.
TOODLE LOO.
