MAN DIFFERS FROM ANIMALS BY HIS MIND,
AND THIS FACILITY DISTINGUISHES HIM IN THAT THRU IT HE CAN ALTER,
AND EVEN ACT CONTRARY TO HIS INSTINCTIVE DRIVES, AND THUS DO THE UNEXPECTED.
BUT ALAS — SOON EACH INDIVIDUAL MAN’S BEHAVIOR BECOMES AS
AUTOMATIC & PREDICTABLE AS ARE THE INSTINCTS HIS MIND ONCE OVERRULED,
AFTER CHILDHOOD, ONLY THOSE SEEKING TO AWAKEN,TO.AN. UNDERSTANDING_OF.:THE MIND. ARE EVER SURPRISING,
XXX
THE TALKATIVE, ANALYTICAL NEURAL SYSTEM CAN BE SO DOMINANT IN A MAN’S MIND, AND SO DISTRACT ATTENTION FROM THE SILENT, PHYSICALLY MONITORING ONE
THAT THE RESULT CAN BE CLUMSINESS — PHYSICAL . INEPTITUDE,
WHILE ON THE OTHER HAND, THE NON-VERBAL, INSTINCTIVE MONITORING NEURAL SYSTEM CAN BE’SO.;DOMINANT IN A PERSON’S MIND..THAT THEIR VERBAL & ANALYTICAL SKILLS NEVER RISE ABOVE THE PURELY MECHANICAL LEVEL, MINIMALLY NECESSARY FOR
MERE SURVIVAL IN A SOPHISTICATED, COMPLEX WORLD.
THE STAMMERING, CLICHE-LADEN ATHLETE WHOSE GLASSY EYED STARE, AND BARELY COHERENT SPEECH DISPLAYS MINIMAL MENTAL ACTIVITY,
AND THE STUMBLING, CLUMSY)INTELLECTUAL WHOSE CONVOLUTED VERBOSITY COMMONLY DRIFTS FREE FROM ANY PERCEPTIBLE PERTINENCE TO:PLAIN:REALITY ARE NOT STEREOTYPES FOR NO REASON,
AND THEY BOTH EXIST-IN, AND CONTEND-WITH-ONE ANOTHER
IN YOUR OWN BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM.

THE ADVERTISED SAGE TOOK TO THE PODIUM AND COMMENCED HIS SPEECH THUS: “LIFE IS BUT A SCHOOL FOR INJURY…NO, THAT SHOULD SAY, ‘FOR INQUIRY’.”, AND OFF HE WENT.
A LACK OF FACTS CAN BE EASILY CURED, BUT A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING THE
NATURE OF THE MIND IS AN ILL THAT BAFFLES EVEN RENOWNED INTELLECTUAL PHYSICIANS.
THE SIMPLE PROGNOSIS: IF YOU DON’T COMPREHEND THE MIND, YOU COMPREHEND NOTHING.
WHEN HE HEARD IT SAID OF A CERTAIN COUNTRY: “STRIFE IS OUR NATIONAL INDUSTRY.”, ONE MAN MUSED: “SAME WITH MY OWN INNER STATE SINCE I UNDERTOOK THIS QUEST.”
THE OBSERVATION STRUCK THE MAN AS CURIOUS, BUT UNDENIABLEY TRUE, AND BEGAN TO BOTHER HIM WITH INCREASING INTENSITY,

IN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE MIND,
EVEN IF YOU REALIZE THAT THE ANALYTICAL NEURAL SYSTEM IS CONSTRUCTED TO
LOOK-FOR, AND BE-ATTRACTED-TO: PROBLEMS, DANGERS, FAULTS & CATASTROPHES
YOU’RE STILL LIABLE TO STEP INTO THE TRAP OF FINDING FAULT WITH THIS SITUATION,
— WHICH JUST KEEPS YOU MORE FIRMLY SUBJECT TO IT,(AND “ASLEEP” AS SOME CALL IT).
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND LOOK FOOLISH ATTEMPTING TO GET A DOG TO TALK, OR A PARAKEET TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY.
FOR YEARS ONE MAN PROCLAIMED: “TRYING TO WAKE UP IS WHAT KEEPS YOU ASLEEP.’,
AND WHEN SOMEONE FINALLY TOOK SEVERE EXCEPTION TO HIS STATEMENT
THE MAN REFINED IT THUS:
“TRYING TO WAKE UP WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT YOU’RE DOING IS WHAT…”, BLAH BLAH BLAH.
A TWIN SAID TO HIS BROTHER: “GET A GRIP!”,
BUT THE BROTHER DIDN’T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE AND THUS DIDN’T COMPREHEND
THE COMMENT — BUT AND PLUS
HE ALREADY HAD HIS OWN VERSION OF “A GRIP” WHICH THE FIRST BROTHER
FAILED TO REALIZE…WHICH IS WHY HE MADE THE COMMENT..TO BEGIN WITH. GET IT?!
AND ONE MAN MUSED: “AT LEAST THE BREVITY OF LIFE HAS THE BENEFIT OF, SPARING US EXTENDED EMBARRASSMENT.”
XXX
A MAN CAN BE RELATIVELY SATISFIED WITH HIS INNER LIFE IF HIS MIND IS
UNDER THE NEAR FULL DOMINANCE OF ONE OR OTHER OF THE TWO NEURAL SYSTEMS,
AND LACKING SUCH A NORMAL SITUATION IS, (FROM MY VIEW), THE SOURCE OF WHAT
SOME HAVE FOR SO LONG REFERRED TO AS “BEING ASLEEP”, BUT CONSIDER THIS:
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF TENDING TO LIVE IN A STATE OF SEMI-SLEEP,
A MENTAL, “TWILIGHT ZONE”, SOME PLACE NOT TRULY CONSCIOUS,
YET NEITHER TOTALLY UN-CONSCIOUS,
THEN THROW YOURSELF INTO IT FULLY 7
IF YOU’RE GONNA SLEEP — SLEEP BIG TIME!!,
ALL THIS THRASHING ABOUT BETWEEN BEING HALF ASLEEP AND HALF AWAKE
IS IN TRUTH THE CAUSE OF MYSTICS’ COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE MATTRESS OF LIFE.
A MAN WITH NOTHING LEFT TO STRUGGLE WITH CANNOT BE SAID TO BE EITHER ASLEEP OR AWAKE.

CHANGE THE NOUNS AND EVERY FABLE, MYTH AND PARABLE IS ABOUT THE MIND.
EVERY TALE TOLD IS A TALE ABOUT THE NARRATOR’S THINKING — DO YOU HEAR WHAT I’M SAYING,
OR HAS SOME INNER ILLUSION HIJACKED YOUR EARS?!
X X X
TO A MAN SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND HIS MIND
NOTHING COMES AS A BIGGER SURPRISE THAT THE FACT THAT,
IN SPITE OF THE TASK BEING IMPOSSIBLE — HE CAN DAMN NEAR DO IT!
MY HINT REGARDING THIS IS: S 1. 1,3
CONSIDER AGAIN THE TWO MAJOR NEURAL SYSTEMS(AS I HAVE PRESENTED THEM), THAT TOGETHER CONSTITUTE WHAT WE CALL OUR “MIND”,
AND THEN PONDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT ONE OF THEM CAN UNDERSTAND THE OTHER.ONE
THAT WHICH SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO THE MIND ABOUT THE MIND
IS ALWAYS A COMPROMISE-PRODUCT OF TWO SLIGHTLY DISJUNCTIVE VIEWS
…AND THE ONLY IGNORANCE OF SIGNIFICANCE TO ONE SEEKING UNDERSTANDING IS THE IGNORANCE OF THIS.
XXX
ONE SHOULD TALK TO ONESELF ABOUT ONE’S MIND AT GREAT LENGTH BEFORE VENTURING TO TALK ABOUT OTHER MEN.
UNTIL YOU’VE THOUGHT EVERYTHING POSSIBLE ABOUT YOURSELF, DON’T BOTHER THINKING ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE.
AND ONE MAN SAYS: “I ENJOY LISTENING TO ME MORE THAN I DO TO ANYBODY ELSE! – …AND I DON’T REALLY ENJOY ME….ALL THAT MUCH.
….AHH, THAT’S NOT TRUE, I’S JUST HAVIN’ A LITTLE FUN WITH MYSELF…HA HA HA.
GET IT?! OH BY THE WAY,” HE ADDS, “I HAVE THIS POEM CONCERNING A
QUESTION THAT’S COME TO ME ABOUT WHY I CAN RECOGNIZE THE CELLULAR ACTIVITY IN MY BRAIN FOR WHAT IT IS, BUT THE ACTIVITY DOESN’T SEEM TO LIKEWISE
RECOGNIZE/ME” (EXTREMELY WEIRD — BUT HERE’S MY RHYME):
THE KEY TO MY PUZZLE,
THE WORDS THAT FIT,
ARE SIMPLY THOSE TWO — ‘I’M IT’!”

A MAN WITH A MIND LEADS TWO LIVES; THE ONE HE LEADS & THE ONE HE THINKS ABOUT, AND TO EACH MAN/ ONE OF THE TWO SEEMS THE MORE REAL,
MOST MEN TAKE THE SITUATION IN STRIDE A FEW DO NOT.
A SHIFT IN THE PERCEIVED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO
WILL CURE IT.FOR THE FEW,
A PROVERB SAYS THAT: “To SIN IN SECRET IS TO NOT SIN AT ALL.”,
BUT REGARDING THAT ORDINARY CONDITION-OF-MIND,
WHICH I SEE AS THE ONLY “SIN”,
THE SITUATION SEEMS THE OPPOSITE OF THE PICTURE PROVERBIALLY DRAWN.: (TO WIT):
IT IS ONLY IN SECRET AND PRIVATE THAT THE SIN OF “ORDINARY MIND”
CAN EXIST AND FLOURISH.
AND PERTINENT TO THIS MATTER, LET ME PRESENT MY OWN PROVERB FOR YOU TO UNTANGLE: “A MAN SEEKING TO AWAKEN AND UNDERSTAND THE MIND MUST BE CHARITABLE.” — BUT ANSWER ME THIS: WHEN A MAN DOES AN ACT THAT COSTS HIM NOTHING, WHAT CHARITY HAS BEEN PERFORMED?’
WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL IN AWAKENING IF IT TURNS OUT THAT IT COST YOU NOTHING?!, ….THAT NO-ACTUAL SACRIFICE OR EVEN EFFORT WAS REQUIRED?!
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ATTEMPTING TO/ “HELP YOURSELF” IF YOU DON’T ACTUALLY NEED ANY HELP.
ONLY THE REALLY DENSE — TRY TO AWAKEN -THE TRULY SMART — DO.
A MAN NO LONGER STRUGGLING WITH ANYTHING CANNOT BE SAID TO BE EITHER_AWAKE.OR ASLEEP)
