MY NEWS FOR JUNE 18, 1999 COPYRIGHT 1999 JAN COX
YOU WILL NEVER “REALIZE-WHAT’S-GOING-ON” AS LONG AS YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS ENTANGLED IN THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT – WHAT’S GOING ON.
XXX
CONSCIOUSNESS IS LIKE A RADIO THAT IS ALWAYS PLAYING:
TRYING TO “REALIZE-WHAT’S-GOING-ON” — “TRYING TO”, (THAT IS), THROUGH SOME METHOD
IS LIKE SPLITTING YOURSELF IN TWO AND BOUNCING BACK & FORTH FROM BEING THE RADIO TO BEING SOMEONE LISTENING TO THE RADIO:
TO NOT JUST TRY, BUT TO ACTUALLY REALIZE-WHAT’S-GOING-ON IS TO HAVE THE RADIO & THE LISTENER MERGE AND BECOME ONE.
THEN: NO MORE RADIO — NO MORE LISTENER -NO MORE “TRYING TO” ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.
X X X
ONE MAN, RATHER THAN SEARCHING WITHIN HIMSELF FOR,
“BUDDHA-MIND”, OR “THE BELOVED”, SAYS HE’S NOW JUST LOOKING FOR,
“AN IMPARTIAL BY-STANDER ON WHOM I CAN DEPEND.”
…(HE BELIEVES THIS IS WHAT’LL KEEP HIM PRIMED FOR, “THE BIG OPPORTUNITY”)
XXX
THE SO-CALLED “MIND” IS LIKE A KEYBOARD AND THE MUSIC YOU HEAR IS WHAT CAUSES YOURS TO PLAY.
ONE MAN CONSIDERS A DAY SUCCESSFUL OR NOT ON THE BASIS OF HOW FEW SONGS HE SINGS ALONG WITH
IN HIS ORIGINAL ATTEMPTS TO REALIZE-WHAT’S-GOING-ON ONE MAN WROTE 127 VOLUMES ON THE SUBJECT:
THEN WHEN HE ACTUALLY REALIZED FOR HIMSELF,
HE COULD PUT ALL THAT HE KNEW IN ONE SENTENCE,
QUESTION: ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU SHOULD BE SO SATISFIED WITH YOUR CURRENT CONCEPTION OF JUST WHAT IS “PROGRESS”?!
xxx
YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS SUBJECT TO BEING: TRIGGERED, EFFECTED, DRIVEN, (TAKE YOUR PICK) BY 2 TYPES OF INFLUENCES:
“NATURAL”, (SUCH AS RAIN, THE WIND, BIRD SONGS),
AND “MORTAL”, (MEN’S TALK & BEHAVIOR).
BEING EFFECTED BY BOTH IS NATURAL, AND ONLY THOSE TRYING TO REALIZE WHAT’S GOING ON MAKE EFFORT TO EFFECT THE PROCESS OF BEING EFFECTED,
AND A BLIND MAN ASKED ONE WHO COULD SEE:
“BUT WOULDN’T YOU STILL BE EFFECTING YOUR OWN CONSCIOUSNESS?!”,
AND THE SIGHTED ONE PRETENDED HE DIDN’T HEAR THE QUESTION,
I MEAN LIKE — AFTER ALL!,
HOW’S A BLIND MAN GONNA KNOW WHETHER HE DID OR NOT?!
xxx
NOTES ONE MAN: “I AM ONLY ‘ME’, (AND THUS REALIZE WHAT’S GOING ON),
WHEN I AM TOTALLY AND ONLY ME:
AND I AM NOT ME, (AND THUS DO NOT REALIZE WHAT’S GOING ON),
WHEN I AM BOTH ‘ME’ AND THAT OTHER THING IN ME
THAT I DO NOT CONSIDER TO TRULY BE ‘ME’. “
ONE ORGANIZATION DEVOTED TO THIS MATTER HAS AS THEIR SLOGAN, AND SOLE TEACHING: “PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER.”

A MAN ASKED A GUY WHO TALKED ABOUT A CERTAIN MATTER PUBLICLY:
“EVERYONE ELSE CALLS THE AIM: ‘BEING AWAKE’, OR, ‘ENLIGHTENED’:
WHY DO YOU CALL IT: ‘REALIZING-WHAT’S-GOING-ON’?”, & THE GUY REPLIED: “BECAUSE OF MY STRICT ALLEGIANCE TO:
‘EVER-INCREASING-DECEPTION-IN-ADVERTISING’.
HOW ELSE WILL PEOPLE’S THOUGHTS EVER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PEEK THROUGH THE HAZE THAT THEY THEMSELVES HAVE CREATED?!”
xxx
A MAN DECLARED: “WHEN LIFE IS IN A WHIRLWIND —
I WANT TO BE AT THE CENTER WHERE IT IS CALM:
AND WHEN LIFE IS CALM — I WANT TO BE AT THE CENTER OF THE CALM,
WHERE IT IS THE CALMEST.”, AND SOMEONE RETORTED:
“BUT LIFE IS NEVER CALM.”, AND THE MAN SCREAMED BACK:
“WELL IT’S NOT MY FAULT!”
THOSE WHO KNOW-WHAT’S-GOING-ON KNOW THAT
NOTHING IS “GOING ON”
IN THE MIND,
ONE MAN THOUGHT OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT AS BEING, “SO-CALLED” THINGS.
xxx
HOW THINGS SEEM: WORDS TRIGGER THOUGHTS, & WORDS TRIGGER EMOTIONS: THE ONLY THING THAT WORDS DO NOT TRIGGER ARE THEMSELVES.
AND A BOY ASKED HIS FATHER: “WHERE DOES THE WIND — COME FROM?”,
AND THE ELDER REPLIED: “ABOUT SEVEN MILES SOUTH OF WHERE YOUR QUESTION DID. ….AND YOU KNOW WHERE THAT IS — RIGHT?!”
(BY THE WAY: THERE STILL REMAINS OPEN THAT SCHOOL I TOLD YOU ABOUT, RUN BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS-WHAT’S-GOING-ON, AND WHOSE OPERATION IS DEVOTED SOLELY TO, “TROUBLED YOUTH”, (AND TO GAIN ENTRY YOU MUST DISPLAY THE PROPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE TERM,
IBY THE WAY “SOME MORE”: ON THE BACKSIDE OF THEIR MAIN BUILDING HANGS A

HERE IS THE, “REALIZING-WHAT’S-GOING-ON” THING IN A NUT HOLDER:
YOU CAN EITHER BE, “THAT”,
OR YOU CAN BE, “THIS”,
WITH THE “THIS” BEING A THING THAT THINKS IT SHOULD REPLACE THE “THAT”,
BUT WHAT PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE AFFAIR HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME SEEING
IS THAT THE “THIS” AND THE “THAT” ARE THE SAME THING –
….WHICH IS WHY YOU NEVER SEE THEM PHOTOGRAPHED TOGETHER!
QUESTION: DO THE “THIS”, AND THE “THAT” HAVE THEIR OWN SEPARATE KNOWLEDGE?…CONSCIOUSNESS?!….LIVES?
xxx
A MAN WHO’D WORKED YEARS TO REALIZE-WHAT’S-GOING-ON OVER THAT PERIOD WROTE MANY SERIOUS BOOKS ON MATTER, BUT AFTER HE FINALLY REALIZED — “WHAT’S GOING ON” THE ONLY WORDS FROM HIS PEN OR LIPS WERE HUMOROUS ONES, (AT LEAST TO HIM.)
A MAN WITH SOMETHING THAT, “NEEDS TO BE SAID” KNOWS NOTHING THAT — NEEDS TO BE SAID.
xxx
MAN ASKS: “WHAT’S IT LIKE TO, ‘KNOW-WHAT’S-GOING-ON’?”,
GUY REPLIES: “I CAN’T TELL YOU,”,
MAN ASKS: “WHY NOT?”,
GUY REPLIES: “I CAN’T TELL YOU THAT EITHER.”,
MAN ASKS: “WELL WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME?”,
GUY REPLIES: “I CAN’T TELL YOU ANYTHING.”,
MAN SAYS: “THEN WHAT’S THE USE IN KNOWING WHAT’S GOING ON
IF YOU CAN’T TELL ANYBODY?!”,
GUY SAYS: “WHO TOLD YOU THAT KNOWING WHAT’S GOING ON IS OF ANY USE?!”,
AND THE MAN, (NOT TO BE OUTDONE), REPLIES: “I CAN’T TELL YOU.”
AND THAT ABOUT WRAPS UP THAT LITTLE STORY — EXCEPT TO NOTE THAT THE IAN AND THE GUY LOOKED AT ONE ANOTHER,
THEN MELTED INTO EACH OTHER’S ARMS, (OR SOMETHING).
…AIN’T TRUE LOVE GRAND?!
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S LIKE THIS ONE: PRE-ORDAINED & INESCAPABLE -(LEASTWISE WHEN YOU, REALIZE-WHAT’S-GOING-ON.)
HAVING ONE TIME TOO OFTEN MISTAKEN A HAIR NET FOR THE INTERNET, THE SHORT ORDER COOK WAS TRANSFERRED OVER TO TALL ORDERS ,
WHEREBY “HEAD-BUMPING” WOULD BE MORE LIKELY,
AND THUS THE POTENTIAL FOR “LEARNING-EXPERIENCES” INCREASED.
AND A MAN WITH NO TASTE ASKED ONE WHO COULD SEE:
“HOW IS ALL OF THAT RELATED TO MATTERS METAPHYSICAL?”,
AND THE SIGHTED ONE REPLIED: “OH, DON’T LET THAT BOTHER YOU: NOTHING IN THE REAL WORLD IS RELATED TO MATTERS METAPHYSICAL — THAT’S WHY THEY’RE CALLED, ‘METAPHYSICAL’.”,
AND THIS RESPONSE SO UN-NERVED THE TASTELESS ONE THAT AS HE TURNED TO LEAVE, HE STUMBLED, AND THE SIGHTED ONE CALLED OUT: “CAREFUL — DON’T BUMP YOUR HEAD.”
HOW IT GOES: MEN WITH A BORN GRUDGE AGAINST THE PHYSICAL WORLD BECOME METAPHYSICIANS,
AND GET OTHER KIDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO ALSO DRESS UP IN FUNNY COSTUMES, AND THEN LEADS THEM IN PLAYING A GAME OF:
“LET’S PRETEND THAT WE, ‘KNOW-WHAT’S-GOING-ON’
BEFORE THE GROWN UPS GET HOME AND SPOIL IT FOR US”.
…AND AFTER READING THIS, A MAN ASKED ITS AUTHOR:
“IS THAT A CRITICISM OF CERTAIN TYPES OF INDIVIDUALS,
OR OF ALL HUMANITY?”, AND THE AUTHOR REPLIED: “I DON’T RECALL HAVING WRITTEN YOU INTO THIS — GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME -I DON’T HAVE TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR IMAGINARY QUESTIONS:
THAT’S WHY IT’S SO GOOD TO — BE-THE-AUTHOR EVEN IF IT IS
OF-YOUR-OWN-FOOLISHNESS.”
HE LATER REFLECTED ON THIS AND THOUGHT: “‘TIS STILL GOOD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE THE AUTHOR OF YOURSELF EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT: HEY,
WHAT’S ‘PRETEND’ FOR ANY WAY
IF NOT TO MAKE BEING A ‘GROWN-UP’ TOLERABLE?!”
WHENEVER YOU SEE THAT UNENLIGHTENED PART OF YOU, DECLARE, LOUD & CLEAR: “GET OUT OF HERE!”,
(YOU SAY THAT TO THE PART OF YOU THAT BELIEVED IT SAW THE
UNENLIGHTENED PART.)
XXX
A BLIND MAN ASKED: “HOW CAN MEN SAY THAT:
‘WE ARE A RESULT OF WHAT WE HAVE THOUGHT.’)
WHEN IT IS SO OBVIOUSLY THE OTHER WAY AROUND?!”,
AND A GUY WITH ONE EYE REPLIED:
“HOW CAN THEY SAY OTHERWISE
ONCE YOU REALIZE WHAT IT IS THAT MAKES THEM SAY IT?!”
SHADOWS ARE CERTAINLY IN FAVOR OF SUNSHINE….
…AS LONG AS THERE IS SOMETHING BETWEEN THEM AND THE SUN,
…AND A MAN STANDING NEAR, WITH BUT ONE EAR, SAID:
“I HEARD THAT) BUT I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT.”,
AND A WOMAN PASSING BY WITH A HEARING-EYE CAT SAID:
“IT IS INDEED A REAL CHALLENGE TO KEEP A SQUIRREL ON A LEASH.”,
AND THE MAN SAID: “I THOUGHT YOU HAD A CAT?!”, AND THE WOMAN REPLIED:
“THAT’S WHAT COMES FROM TRYING TO THINK WITH ONLY ONE EAR.”
MORAL: AROUND THESE HERE PARTS YOU NEED ALL.THE SENSES YOU CAN MUSTER TO. STAY AHEAD OF THE GAME & MORE GLIB THAN SOME “WOMAN-OFF-THE-STREET” WITH A GOPHER ON A LEASH, “HEY, I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS A SQUIRREL.”, OBJECTS THE DEMI-DEAF MAN,
WHICH GOES TO SUPPORT THAT OTHER MORAL:
QUITE BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES GET AHEAD OF YOU. —
….WHICH WILL ALWAYS HAPPEN….OUT THERE IN THE SECONDARY STREETS OF TALK & THOUGHT.
THE ONLY SURE FIRE WAY TO STAY AHEAD OF YOURSELF IS TO JOIN FORCES WITH YOUR SELF.
ONCE YOU KNOW-WHAT’S GOING-ON
THE ONLY THING LEFT THEN IS TO STAY CONSTANTLY AWARE THAT YOU KNOW, AND EVER ON GUARD THAT YOU DO NOT GO BACK TO YOUR SPLINTERED,
UN-KNOWING CONDITION,
X X X
YOU’LL NEVER REALIZE-WHAT’S-GOING-ON IF YOU HAVE A WAY OF GOING ABOUT IT.
A FATHER, WITH THE REALIZATION, SAID TO HIS SON: “PAY NO ATTENTION TO YOUR SYMPTOMS.”,
“SYMPTOMS OF WHAT?”, HE ASKED, “OF ANYTHING,”, HE REPLIED.
EVERY METHOD EVER DEVISED TO MAKE YOU REALIZE WHAT’S GOING ON HAVE JUST THE OPPOSITE EFFECT.
SOLUTION: IGNORE ALL SYMPTOMS,
