WHAT THE SO-CALLED “MYSTICAL LITERATURE” CALLS “BEING ASLEEP” AMOUNTS TO THIS: IT IS YOUR THOUGHTS BEING DISSATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU GENETICALLY ARE/
COMBINED WITH THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCEPT THAT THEY DO NOT DIRECT YOUR LIFE.
As A METAPHORICAL EXAMPLE:
To BE ASLEEP IS TO BE GENETICALLY PRONE TO FATNESS, LAZINESS/ AND PHYSICAL INEPTNESS
ALONG WITH AN INHERENT MENTAL DISPOSITION TO HAVE THOUGHTS THAT DISAPPROVE OF THESE CHARACTERISTICS;
THEN, “TRYING TO WAKE UP” AMOUNTS TO THINKING THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY CHANGE WHAT YOU GENETICALLY ARE,
(AND FAILING THAT),
THEN TRYING TO KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS FROM THINKING ABOUT THEIR DISAPPROVALS, AND FINALLY FAILING THAT ALSO,
JUST BEING STRESSED OUT BY THE SEVERAL FRUSTRATING ATTEMPTS.
As ANOTHER VERBALIZED EXAMPLE: To “BE ASLEEP” IS TO BE A NATURAL-BORN DUCK, BUT ONE SEEMINGLY ALSO BORN WITH INBRED THOUGHTS OF BEING SOMETHING OTHER THAN AN ORDINARY DUCK,
THEN TO “WAKE UP” IS TO COME TO A FULL REALIZATION AND TOTAL, “BLANK-MIND-ACCEPTANCE” OF THE NATURAL-BORN, GENETIC, INHERENT SITUATION.
BEING ASLEEP IS IN BEING WHAT YOU PHYSICALLY 81 INSTINCTIVELY ARE,
AND WITH YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS NOT BEING SATISFIED THEREWITH,
AND WHY THE “AWAKENED STATE” HAS SOME TIMES BEEN COMPARED TO THAT OF A “FOOL”
IS THAT:A FOOL CAN BE PHYSICALLY INEPT AND MENTALLY DEFICIENT
AND BE APPARENTLY UNCONCERNED THEREABOUT.
SO, WITH ONE DISTINCTION/ THE STATE OF BEING A FOOL
IS NOT THAT FAR FROM THE.STATE OF ENLIGHTENMENT.

THERE IS A PLEASURE AVAILABLE TO THE MIND THAT IS NEVER EXPERIENCED BY MOST MEN.
“DRUGS, AND BOOZE — INTOXICATION,
ARE BUT A POOR — IMITATION.”
XXX
THE CLASSIC MYSTICAL VIEW IS THAT MAN IS MENTALLY DISTRACTED, DISORIENTED,
AND RELIANT OF DISINFORMATION DUE TO HIM LIVING IN A “WORLD-OF-DREAMS”
AS HE SLEEPS,
WHEREAS CONSIDER THAT THE PROBLEM COMES FROM THE NATURAL SENSATION
INHERENT IN MENS’ CONSCIOUSNESS THAT MAKES THEM FEEL, THINK, BELIEVE THAT
THERE IS A “SELF’ IN THEM THAT IS SEPARATE FROM THE DREAMS, AND IS HAVING THE_DREAM!
AN ENLIGHTENED MAN KNOWS ONE THING THAT OTHERS DO NOT;
THAT THE DREAMS AND STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS HE DESPISES IN HIMSELF, AND THE “SELF”THAT DOES THE DESPISING ARE ALL THE SAME THING;
IT’S JUST THAT AT ONE PARTICULAR MOMENT THE “DREAMS” (AS HE CALLS THEM) CONSTITUTE THE FULL STATEMENT OF HIS CONSCIOUSNESS,
THEN AT ANOTHER INSTANT THE DREAMS CONSIST OF THE “HIM” THAT SAYS IT DESPISES THE DREAMS.
IT COULDN’T BE SIMPLER —
YET FROM A MIND’S VIEW, IT_COULD SCARCELY BE MORE COMPLICATED, CONVOLUTED, AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GRASP.
EVEN AFTER YOU REALIZE IT, IT.IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMEMBER)SEAMLESSLY, AND UNDER ALL CONDITIONS.
THUS YOU CAN BE ENLIGHTENED, YET STILL STUMBLE MOMENTARILY BACK INTO DARK ROOMS.
MEN WHO CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE “ULTIMATELY TRIUMPHED” OVER THEIR MIND ARE LIVING IN A NEW DREAM WITHIN THE OLD ORIGINAL ONE.
A MAN AWAKENED WHO CAN RETAIN A DEGREE OF ALERTNESS NEVER MAKES ANY CLAIMS — EVEN TO HIMSELF.

THE GRANDEST “PERSONAL STORY” ‘ERE TOLD WAS IN THE CASE OF THE MAN WHO SAID: “A ‘PERSONAL STORY?’ — AYE, I HAVE NONE TO TELL.”
XXX
ORDINARY MEN PROFESS TO REALIZE THE DANGERS OF “PROLONGED, UNMITIGATED STRESS”, BUT THERE IS AN UNRECOGNIZED FORM LURKING IS THE DESIRE TO AWAKEN WHEN THE MATTER IS NEVER SATISFACTORILY CONCLUDED.
THE STRESS OF “BEING ASLEEP” IS IN.THINKING THAT YOU ARE ASLEEP
DUE TO YOUR THOUGHTS’ BEING UNABLE TO ACCEPT WHAT YOU GENETICALLY ARE, COMBINED WITH THEIR NOT BEING ABLE TO TOLERATE THE FACT THAT
THEY DO NOT RUN YOUR LIFE.
XXX
WE DO NOT”REMEMBER OUR LIVES” —
WE REMEMBER OUR MEMORIES OF OUR LIVES;
WE RECALL THE PICTURES OF OUR LIVES — NOT THE TRUE EVENTS.
…WE REMEMBER “DREAMS” — NOT THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCES ON WHICH THE DREAMS ARE BASED. XXX
DON’T DENY ,’ANY ACCUSATION MADE AGAINST YOU -ESPECIALLY BY YOUR OWN THOUGHTS.
NEVER DENY OR DISMISS ANY THOUGHT THAT COMES TO YOUR MIND REGARDING YOU, OR THE MIND;
THEY ALL CAN BE OF USE.
XXX
QUESTION: CAN THE SUN BE HAPPY, YET THE SHADOWS IT CASTS, SAD? ….WHERE IS THE BASE OF ERROR IN THIS PICTURE?
XXX
HE SLEEPS SOUNDLY AND MIGHTILY WHO TELLS YOU WHAT HE NOW MISSES IN LIFE.
QUESTION: CAN A MAN AWAKEN AND STILL MISS HIS SLEEP?
…WHAT UNREALIZED FACTOR CAN PRODUCE SUCH AN ERRONEOUS PICTURE?

THE PROBLEM WITH TRYING TO TALK TO YOURSELF ABOUT WHAT ENLIGHTENMENT IS IS THAT
NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING ELSE TO SAY.
A PROVERB SAYS: “WHEN A MAN IS FACED WITH A GREAT INCONVENIENCE
HE WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A SMALLER ONE AND BE HAPPY WITH IT.”
…CAN YOU ALIGN THIS WITH BEING DISSATISFIED WITH YOUR ORDINARY STATE OF MIND, ALONG WITH THE RELATED DESIRE TO CHANGE IT FOR THE BETTER?
THE THING ABOUT TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOURSELF JUST WHAT AWAKENING IS IS THAT
ALL YOUR EXPLANATIONS END UP NEEDING TO BE FURTHER EXPLAINED.
DOESN’T THIS SEEM TO YOU LIKE IT OUTTA BE SOME KINDA REAL, SERIOUS “HINT” ABOUT SOMETHIN’ OR THE OTHER?!
OH YEAH, HOW ABOUT ANOTHER PROVERB RE”THE SEARCH FOR WOOL” THAT SAYS: “MANY WHO GO OUT TO SHEAR THE SHEEP
RETURN THEMSELVES, SHORN.”…ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ONE SOUND FAMILIAR?
CONSIDER THAT THERE ARE THREE POSSIBLE APPROACHES TO AWAKENING:
THE WAY OF THE MYSTIC & PHILOSOPHER, WHICH IS THE CONTINUAL INVENTION,
AND DISCUSSION OF DREAMS;
AND THE WAY OF THE SCIENTIST: THE GATHERING OF FACTS,
AND THE WAY OF THE DITCH DIGGER: You JUST — “DO IT”.
…WHAT KIND OF DREAMS, FACTS OR DISCUSSION DO YOU NEED TO DIG A HOLE? — NONE!,
YOU JUST DECIDE TO DO IT — THEN YOU GO “DO IT”.
GET YOURSELF INTO THE”DITCH DIGGER’S MODE” AND YOU’LL HAVE NO INTEREST IN UNNECESSARY FACTS, AND NO TOLERANCE FOR DREAMS AND MEANINGLESS YAMMERING.
FOLLOWING THE DITCH DIGGER’S WAY INVOLVES NO FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN TO YOURSELF WHAT BEING ENLIGHTENED IS —
— YOU JUST — “DIG THAT HOLE”,
AND RIGHT THERE AT THE BOTTOM OF IT IS YOUR ENLIGHTENMENT.
