OKAY, HERE’S ANOTHER OF THOSE ANNYOING LITTLE FACTS THAT MAY BE REALIZED ONLY BY YOU AND ME, (NOW:THAT I’M TELLING YOU):
IT DOESN’T ULTIMATELY MATTER WHETHER THERE IS ACTUALLY SUCH A THING AS, “AWAKENING”
AS LONG AS YOU VIGOROUSLY PURSUE IT FOR AN ADEQUATE PERIOD OF TIME, (AND DON’T GET DROWNED IN IT),, YOU’LL GET WHAT YOU WANTED ANY.WAY.

A MAN WITH A DOG’ A CANARY., OR A RAT IN HIS HOUSE WILL NEVER CATCH ON TO WHAT’S GOING ON.
….WELL, MORE EXACTLY: IF HE CONTINUES TO PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THEM.
SIMPLE SEEKERS THINK THAT THEY’RE BEING MISLEAD BY THE DELUSION OF THE WORLD…. ….OR BY EVIL FORECES….OR BY FATE, OR THEIR OWN KARMA)
THE ALERT MAN DISCOVERS THAT ONLY THE THOUGHTS IN HIS BRAIN DO THIS JOB.

RETURNING FROM A DAY IN THE WORLD,
A FATHER SAID TO HIS SON: “TODAY I ENCOUNTERED A MOST IMPRESSIVE SIGHT:
I SAVA MAN WHO COULD ENDLESSLY PAT HIS HEAD WHILE RUBBING HIS STOMACH,
AND AT THE SAME TIME PLAY YOU A CHESS GAME IN HIS HEAD.”,
“WOW!”, RESPONDED THE LAD, “WAS HE AWAKE?”, HE ASKED,
AND THE ELDER’S HEAD JERKED UP IN SUPRISE:
“HUH!, YOU KNOW, I DIDN’T EVEN THINK OF THAT — WHICH OFFERS THE LESSON:
YOU CAN’T LET YOUR ATTENTION BE ENCHANTED BY EXTERNALS)
AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT THOUGHT TO ANY PROFITABLE USE.”
WHEN A MAN IS IN THE ORDINARY STATE OF MIND
HIS THOUGHTS ARE LIKE A LITTLE BOAT RIDING ATOP , EVER ROLLING WAVES:
CONTINUALLY BOBBING UP AND DOWN;
SLIDING FOWARD THEN BACK,
BUT NEVER ACTUALLY GOING ANY WHERE.
THE REASON,CERTAIN BRAINS (OR, “MEN” IF YOU PREFER), ARE DRAWN TO THE
ACADEMIC AND SCIENTIFIC LIFE IS THAT SUCH AFFORDS THEM THE REQUIRED REASON TO —
— CONCENTRATE THEIR:THOUGHTS,
A ACT THAT UNDER ROUTINE, EVERYDAY CONDITIONS MEN FIND TO RANGE FROM THE
MERELY ANNOYING TO THE DOWNRIGHT DISTASTEFUL.
WITHOUT THERE BEING A SPECIFIC, USEFUL REASON IT CAN ACCEPT AS SUCH, THE BRAIN
IS_NOT NATURALLY GIVEN TO CONCENTRATING ITS THOUGHTS ON ONE SUBJECT FOR EXTENDED

THEN THERE’S THIS GUY,(WHO LIVES DOWN THE STREET FROM SOME MOUNTAINS), WHO DEVELOPED HIS OWN PRIVATE APPROACH TO ACHIEVING THE GOAL:
HE SAYS: “DON’T RESPOND TO ANYTHING BUT BEING PHYSICALLY TOUCHED.
DON’T RESPOND TO ANYTHING ANYONE SAYS OR DOES.”, AND THAT IS HIS METHOD.
TRUTH IS: WHAT HE’S DESCRIBING IS A MIND THAT KNOWS WHAT’S GOING ON.
TURTH IS: IT’S REALLY TOUGH BEING INDEPENDENT WHEN YOU AND EVERYTHING ELSE ARE ALL PART OF THE SAME ONE THING.
EVERY DAY ONE FATHER WOULD ASK HIS SON A NEW QUESTION,
AND IF THE BOY HESITATED AT ALL BEFORE RESPONDING,THE ELDER WOULD SLAP HIM; .
ON DAYS WHEN THE LAD WOULD RESPOND IMMEDIATELY TO THE QUESTION, THE OLD MAN WOULD KICK HIM;
HE TOLD THE BOY TO NEVER BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN TELL WHERE ANYTHING IS COMING FROM ….SINCE THERE IS NO “FROM”.
ONE MAN WOULD SHOUT INTO AN ECHO CANYON FOR FUN, THINKING THAT HIS SHOUTING WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ECHO
WHEREAS IT WAS THE EXISTANCE OF THE ECHO CANYON THAT CAUSED HIM TO SHOUT.
(TRY CONVEYING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS TO AN ORDINARY MIND…. ….IF YOU’VE_RUN COMPLETELY OUT OF OTHER WAYS TO WASTE YOUR TIME.)

MENS’ PERSISTANCE IN TELLING HOW THEY FEEL
IS THE BRAIN’S ATTEMPT — THRU THE USE OF WORDS —
TO GIVE THOUGHTS THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY CAN
OVERCOME — OR AT LEAST, PARTIALLY NEUTRALIZE — THE POWER OF FEELINGS.
(THOSE WITHOUT A CLEAR COMPREHENSION OF HOW THE BRAIN WORKS WILL NEVER HAVE A FULL APPRECIATION OF THE WORD, “DEVIOUS”…. ….OR, “DETERMINED” — OR, “DAZZLING”.)
A FATHER SAID TO HIS SON: “You WOULD BE HELPED GREATLY ON YOUR TREK TOWARD THE GOAL IF YOU WOULD LISTEN UNDISTRACTED TO EACH AND EVERY WORD YOU SPEAK.”
SOME YEARS LATER AFTER USEFULLY EMPLOYING THIS METHOD,IN THE MANNER SUGGESTED,
THE BOY GRADUALLY REALIZED THE BENEFIT IN ALSO APPLYING IT TO THE THOUGHTS THAT HIS BRAIN PRESENTED TO BE THOUGHT.

A MAN VISITED AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST WITH AN UNEXPECTED ACCOUNT, (ACCOUNTED HE): “FOR MOST OF MY LIFE I HAVE SOUGHT — “THE ENLIGHTENED STATE OF MIND” -BUT WITHOUT SUCCESS
SO WHAT I WOULD NOW LIKE IS FOR YOU TO FIX MY EYES SO THAT ONE OF THEM IS ALWAYS LOOKING AT THE OTHER ONE.”,
(A REQUEST WHICH DAMN NEAR GAVE ENLIGHTENMENT TO AN EAVESDROPPING NURSE.)
AND NOW SOME: “PHYSICS NEWS”:
EVERYONE WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT “BEING AWAKE” MEANS — IF “MOTION” WAS NOT SUCH A STICKLER FOR ITS
STRICK DEFINITION.
ORDINARY MEN ARE ALWAYS — “ON THE WAY TO SOME WHERE” WHILE THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON NEVER LEAVE HOME.
ONE DAY AS THE UNIVERSE WAS SITTING IN THE MEDITATIVE POSTION TRYING TO CONTEMPLATE ITS NAVEL, IT THOUGHT:
“WHAT IS IT THAT HUMANS GET OUT OF THIS9I ” (ONE OF THE MORTAL ADVANTAGES IS
THAT WE CAN KNOW WHILE THE UNIVERSE CAN’T, [ALSO KNOWN AS:”THE GREAT ILLUSIONARY
MORTAL ADVANTAGE”])
