THE SPEAKER OPENED HIS REMARKS WITH A RHYME:
“WERE IT NOT FOR ALL THE WORDS IN THEIR HEAD
MOST FOLKS’ CONDITION WOULD BE WORSE THAN DEAD.”,
AND FROM THE AUDIENCE A VOICE ASKED: “AND WHAT CONDITION MIGHT THAT BE?”,
AND THE SPEAKER REPLIED:
“A CONDITION WHEREIN THEY WOULD BE AWARE OF THEMSELF AS THEY PHYSICALLY ARE,
AND NOT AS THE WORDS IN THEIR HEAD SAY THAT THEY ARE.”,
AND THAT SAME AUDIENCE VOICE THEN ASKED:
“ARE YOU SAYING THAT SUCH PEOPLE WOULD BE NO MORE THAN THEIR GENES DICTATE?”,
AND THE SPEAKER RESPONDED WITH HIS OWN QUESTION:
“WHAT MORE CAN ANYONE BE?”,
AND THE VOICE FROM THE CROWD SAID:
“WELL, I CERTAINLY BELIEVE THAT I AM MORE THAN THAT.”,
AND THE SPEAKER THEN ASKED:
“AND WHAT IS IT PRECISELY THAT LEADS YOU TO THIS “BELIEF” OTHER THAN THE
WORDS IN YOUR HEAD
WHICH ARE A PRODUCT OF YOUR BRAIN
AN ORGAN WHOSE-INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT,- IN YOUR CASE — AND EVERYONE ELSE’S —
WAS SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED BY YOUR GENES.
Do YOU SEE WHAT I’M SAYING?”, AND AFTER A SLIGHT SILENCE, THE VOICE IN THE
AUDIENCE SOFTLY RESPONDED: “YEAH — I SEE BUT I DON’T LIKE IT.”
VERY, VERY FEW OF THE CREATURES ON THIS PLANET WHO HAVE WORDS-IN-THEIR-HEAD NOT ONLY DO NOT LIKE WHAT THE SPEAKER NOTED,
BUT WILL IN FACT GENERALLY REFUSE TO EVEN HEAR SUCH A THING SAID.– FOR IT CONTAINS “WORDS” EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE TO THEIR WORDS.

A CONCISE TELLING OF WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT
SIX BILLION HUMANS,'(+ OR -);ON THIS. PLANET ENJOY THEIR DOG RUNNING FREE,
AND DOING WHATEVER IT PLEASES;
A SCANT FEW DO NOT ENJOY THEIR DOG RUNNING FREE AND DOING WHATEVER IT PLEASES,
BUT WHEN THEIR DOG IS RUNNING FREE AND DOING WHATEVER IT PLEASES,
THEY ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS EVERYONE ELSE,
IT’S ONLY WHEN THEY DON”T ENJOY IT
IS WHEN THEY —
DON’T ENJOY IT.
SO —
I GUESS IT ALL WORKS OUT- BUT STILL

THE DESIRE TO”AWAKEN”, TO “ACHIEVE”ENLIGHTENMENT”,
TO “EFFECT THE GREAT LIBERATION” AND “DISCOVER THE SECRET” ARE ALL ONE THING:
A VOICE IN SEARCH OF ITSELF,
FEW, FEW ARE THOSE WHO UNDERTAKE TO REACH THE GOAL WHO EVER COME TO REALIZE THAT WHAT THE VOICE WITHIN THEM SEEKS IS NOT OUTSIDE OF THEM.
THE VOICE WITHIN A PERSON THAT SAYS: “LET US ACHIEVE “AWAKENING”,
“LET US BECOME ENLIGHTENED”,
“LET US LEARN THE SECRET”,
THIS VOICE IS NOT IN ACTUALFACT SPEAKING OF A “SOMETHING” THAT IS,”AWAKENING”,
“ENLIGHTENMENT”,OR”THE SECRET”,
BUT IS — UNWITTINGLY — EXPRESSING ITS HUNGER TO —
DISCOVER AND COMPREHEND ITSELF.
THAT IS ALL THIS IS ABOUT.
2032-4 –
ALL FIRES CAN PUT THEMSELF OUT ALL UNRESTS CAN QUELL THEMSELF;
ALL WILD DOGS CAN BRING THEMSELF TO HEEL.
AND ALL QUESTIONS CAN ANSWER THEMSELF
— IN FACT. (IN THE LAND I REFER TO). ONLY THEY CAN EFFECT SUCH RESULTS.
REAL FEET STEP ON REAL FEET,
AND THE CEMETERY IS FILLED WITH ACTUAL BODIES;
BUT WHAT TROUBLES THE FEW IS A GHOST WITHIN THEM
“KNOCKING ABOUT” ATTEMPTING TO ,GET A GLIMPSE OF ITSELF.
…AND THIS IS WHAT IT’S — STILL ALL ABOUT.

A FATHER TOLD HIS SON:
“To “BE ASLEEP” IS TO BE — LOST IN A DREAM OF WORDS.
A MAN ASLEEP IS HE, WHO WHEN FULL, CONTINUES TO EAT.”,
AND THE LAD SAID: “I ASSUME THAT THIS “EAT” STILL HAS TO DO WITH WORDS, RIGHT?”, AND THE ELDER NODDED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.
FOR WHATEVER PURPOSE A MAN MOVES,
THE PURPOSE CAN, FOR A TIME, BE SATISFIED;
NOT SO WITH WORDS,
FOR WHATEVER MAY BE THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE OF MAN HAVING WORDS
SIMPLE OBSERVATION SHOWS THAT THE PURPOSE IS NEVER FULLY SERVED.
A MAN CAN STOP MOVING — BUT HE CAN’T STOP TALKING.
EVERYONE KNOWS THIS —
EVERYONE ACCEPTS THIS — EXCEPT FOR, (WELL — YOU KNOW WHO.)

IN RESPONSE TO A PLEASANT SURPRISE, ONE MAN SAID IN HIS HEAD TO LIFE: “DON’T TRY TO — CHEER ME UP!”, AND LIFE REPLIED: “I’M NOT —
I’M TRYING TO CHEER ME UP. ARE YOU NEVER GOING TO “GET IT”?!”

LOOKING UP FROM A BOOK, A BOY ASKED HIS FATHER:
“How CAN YOU TELL FROM THE WORDS OF ANOTHER IF HE WAS PROBABLY AWAKE?” AND HIS FATHER REPLIED:
“IF HIS WORDS TRIGGER WORDS IN YOU THAT SAY HE PROBABLY WAS.”
AND A CERTAIN MAN’S ENVIRONMENT SPOKE TO HIM AGAIN:
“WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO CATCH ON:
IT’S NOT YOU DOING AND THINKING THE THINGS THAT YOU DO AND THINK — IT’S US; WHAT YOU THINK AND WHAT YOU DO IS WHAT WE COMBINED WANT YOU TO THINK AND DO. THIS IS HOW IT IS UNIVERSALLY,
IT’S JUST THAT LOCALLY, (WITHIN YOU), IT SEEMS TO YOU OTHERWISE BUT NOT SO:
WORDS TRIGGER WORDS; MOVEMENTS TRIGGER MOVEMENTS; WORDS TRIGGER MOVEMENTS; MOVEMENTS TRIGGER WORDS, AND WHERE.YOUR SKIN MEETS THE AIR — TRIGGERS TRIGGER TRIGGERS.”
THE MAN’S ENVIRONMENT THEN FELL SILENT AS IT TRIED TO LOOK DEEPLY INTO HIS
ONE GOOD EYE THEN SPOKE AGAIN, ASKING:
“ARE YOU EVER GOING TO CATCH ON?!”
AND A LAD ASKED HIS DAD: “WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN BETWEEN A MAN AND THE OUTSIDE WORLD?” — “IN-DIFFERENCE.”, HE REPLIED, “IF HE IS IN OUR FAMILY, AND IS INSIGHTFUL, THEN HIS RELATIONSHIP — IN WORDS — TO LIFE IS:
INDIFFERENCE.”
(THEN, IN WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A THREAT, THE ELDER SAID: “No SON OF MINE IS GONNA TAKE HIS DESCRIBABLE LIFE – PERSONALLY – NOT AS LONG AS I’M ALIVE!” …SOUNDS METAPHORICAL TO ME — WHAT DO YOU THINK??

1 ORDINARY MENS’ BRAINS CAN OVERSEE MANY TASKS SIMULTANEOUSLY -NOT SO WITH AN ENLIGHTENED MAN,
(AND ONLY AN ENLIGHTENED MAN WILL UNDERSTANDING WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.)
“I SAY, HOLMES — IT ALL SOUNDS A BIT “UNNATURAL” TO ME!”,
“QUITE SO WATSON — BUT IF IT WERE NOT “UNNATURAL” THERE WOULD BE NO CHALLENGE TO IT.”
(AND WATSON JUST GAVE A MUFFLED “HUMPH” IN REPLY.)
THERE WAS ONCE A MAN WHO DESCRIBED THE GOAL OF ACTIVITY SUCH AS THIS NOT AS, “ENLIGHTENMENT, OR AWAKENING”, BUT AS:PERFORMING INTANGIBLE NEUROSURGERY ON YOURSELF.
(RELATED FOOTNOTE: WHILE CONVENTIONAL SCIENCE HOLDS. THAT THE BRAIN.ITSELF – DOES NOT.EXPERIENCE*PHYSICAL SENSATION; THE THE NEUROSURGERY JUST MENTIONED CAN ONLY BE COMPLETED IN AN AREA WHERE THE BRAIN DOES FEEL.
ONLY THOSE AWAKEN WHO HAVE A PASSION TO AWAKE.

A MAN SOUGHT THE COUNSEL OF AN INVESTIGATOR
WHO WAS ALSO A NEUROSURGEON ON THE SIDE,
AND ASKED HIM: “IF I COMPLETE THE OPERATION ON MY OWN BRAIN) WHAT WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED?”, AND THE INVESTIGATOR REPLIED: “IT WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR — INDIFFERENT SENSES.”

ONE MAN MUSES:
“To ME, A MOST PROMISING LINE OF INQUIRY IS:
IF WE LIVE IN TWIN WORLDS OF: MOVEMENT AND OF WORDS,
CAN WE “BE ASLEEP” IN MOVEMENTS?,
OR IS THIS STRICTLY A PHENOMENON OF WORDS?'”
(HE SAYS THAT HE HAS PURSUED THIS QUESTION EXPANSIVELY, AND CONTINUES TO FIND IT A SOURCE OF USEFUL DISCOVERIES.)

THE SECONDARY WORLD IS A BOX IN WHICH ARE NUMEROUS ATTRACTIVE, AND NON-TOUCHABLE TRINKETS, NOT FOUND IN THE PRIMARY WORLD.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TOYS, AND INTANGIBLE PLAYTHINGS, BUT ADULTS DO NOT CONFUSE THEM WITH MATERIAL ESSENTIALS,
BAN’S SECONDARY REALITY IS SOLELY A PRODUCT OF A BOX,
A FACT THAT THE BOX FORGETS AS SOON AS IT IS OPEN AND DOING BUSINESS.
LOOKING AT A MAGNIFICENT CATHEDRAL A VISITOR EXCLAIMED:
“How MIGHTILY IMPRESSIVE!”, AND A SECOND VISITOR COUNTERED:
“How MIGHTILY INTERESTING, THE HUMAN THOUGHTS BEHIND SUCH A STRUCTURE.”,
TO WHICH A THIRD VIEWER RESPONDED: “To ME IT IS:
How MIGHTILY CURIOUS IS MENS’ LACK OF INTEREST IN THE NATURE OF THE SOURCE
OF THEIR THOUGHTS —
— AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHICH WOULD COMPLETE A CERTAIN CIRCLE)
AND EXPLAIN THE PRESENCE OF THE STRUCTURE HERE BEFORE US,
THE MOTIVATIONS THAT BROUGHT IT INTO BEING,
AND OF US STANDING HERE AT THIS MOMENT ENGAGED IN THE INSTANT OBSERVATIONS.”
THE DISCOVERY OF–“WHAT’S-GOING-ON” — IS A KNOWLEDGE OF THE BOX FROM WHICH
MAN’S SECONDARY REALITY ARISES,
BUT WHEN YOUR ATTENTION IS ON ANY OF THE TRINKETS IN THE BOX)
YOU HAVE NO AWARENESS OF THE BOX)
AND A MAN WITH NO CONTINUING CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE BOX
IS A MAN IN THE DARK

A PITHY RECOUNT OF WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT
SIX BILLION HUMANS, (+ OR -), ON THIS PLANET ENJOY BEING TIED TO A BUMPER,
AND DRAGGED ALL AROUND;
A VERY FEW DO NOT ENJOY BEING TIED TO A BUMPER AND DRAGGED ALL AROUND,
BUT WHEN THEY ARE TIED TO A BUMPER AND BEING DRAGGED ALL AROUND,
THEY ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS EVERYONE ELSE,
IT’S ONLY WHEN THEY DON’T ENJOY IT
IS WHEN THEY —
DON’T ENJOY IT

ANOTHER “QUICK-SKETCH MAP” OF THE TERRAIN
THE BRAIN ASSISTS IN’THE COORDINATING OF MOVEMENT, AND APPEARS TO BE THE
SOLE SOURCE OF WORDS.
THE BRAIN DEALS IN COMPLEX OPERATIONS, AND CAN DO MANY THINGS AT THE SAME TIME.
SOME WHERE AMIDST THESE NORMAL COMPLEX OPERATIONS OCCURS ONE WHOSE COMMON RESULT
A FEW MEN THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE SPOTTED
FOUND PERSONALLY DISTASTEFUL,
AND HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE.
IT HAS NOT TO DO WITH MOVEMENTS PER SE,
BUT WITH HOW THEY CAN BE EFFECTED BY THE OPERATIONS OF THE BRAIN WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WORDS.
FROM ONE VIEW: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MOVEMENTS AND WORDS IS, FOR MANKIND ITSELF A “HOLY ALLIANCE”, (IN THAT IT RAISES MAN ABOVE CREATURES WITHOUT IT), BUT FROM THE VIEW-OF-THE-FEW IT IS, INDIVIDUALLY SPEAKING), AN UN-HOLY ALLIANCE’ AND FOR NO PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT REASON …
IT JUST IS,
AND FOR THOSE FEW, THAT’S REASON A’PLEANTY.

A BOY ASKED HIS FATHER:
“WHEN IT COMES TO KEEPING YOUR MIND IN ITS ORDINARY,(AND TO ME)–
— UNACCEPTABLE STATE —
WHICH IS WORSE: THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF, OR THINKING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE?”,
AND HIS LARGER VERSION FURROWED HIS BROW, RUBBED HIS CHIN, THE CHIMED IN:
“BY GOD I DON’T B’LIEVE I CAN ANSWER THAT’N RIGHT OFF,
BUT I’LL TELL YOU THIS, BY GOD: YOUR QUESTIONS SURE ARE IMPROVIN’!”,
AND THE BOY BEAMED WITH DELIGHT, THEN THE OLD MAN ADDED:
“IN FACT, IF’N YOUR QUESTIONS GET MUCH BETTER YOU WON’T HAVE ANY MORE.”,
AND NOW THE LAD LIT UP WITH CONFUSED ANTICIPATION & EXCITEMENT.
QUESTION: IF IT COULD BE KNOWN THAT A MAN “KNEW EVERYTHING” HOW COULD YOU KNOW THAT HE DOES?
ANSWER: BY THE FACT, (IF HE’D LET IT SHOW) THAT HE DOESN’T KNOW ANYTHING.
“BEING ASLEEP” (AND OTHER FORMS OF IDIOCY), ARE MARKED BY THE FACT THAT THE SLEEPER “KNOWS” SOMETHING!
….AT LEAST SOME LITTLE BIT ABOUT — SOMETHING., (FOR GOD’S SAKE).
ONE GUY’S RHYMING SLOGAN: “I THOUGHT ABOUT ME,
I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU,
IT’S BECOME SUCH A HABIT THAT
I’m PRETTY WELL SCREWED.”
2032-14
MOVEMENT COMES FROM INSTINCT, AND SO DO WORDS -BUT WORDS SEEM SO OTHERWISE.
…AND THIS. BY THE WAY, PRESENTS A CHALLENGE TO UNDERSTANDING THAT FEW MEN EVER MEET.
