Life appears complex;
complex affairs demand complex explanations.

Life is actually simple,
but human life still requires complex explanations 
for it to be human life --
--  but this does not change the fact that 
                          life is still simple.
 
 
 

   A few people are born with a feeling that there is something 
                significant that ordinary people do not realize.
 
 
 
 
 

There is a THING that does not exist apart from 
its operation;
it is not there except for its output.
This reality is so simple it can scarcely be grasped.
 
 
 
 
 

Jackals chase only jackals - that’s all you need notice.
…that and the fact that they only exist VIA the chase.

  You cannot kill jackals; you cannot quieten jackals,
you cannot train or reeducate jackals.
                             Focus on the chase.
 
 
 
 
 
 

There are two approaches to try to explain life:
the direct study of life, then your analysis,
and attempted explanation  --  or,
the study of other attempted explanations
then your explanation of them.

  Either explore Africa for yourself,
  or write a critique of an essay on the life of Livingston.
 
 
 
 
 
 

One word can bring enlightenment;
two will  --  delusion.

   The befuddling property of words --
    --  at least after the first one.
 
 
 
 
 

The only one who may know what you want to know
is the one who will not respond to your questions.

   Why search for THE KNOWLEDGE --
nothing could already be more intimate TO you.
 
 
 
 

Some Things You Can Do:
Close your eyes & listen to people talk;
watch them talk but turn the sound off;
do the same things in your own mind.

  Another thing: While listening to someone talk,
  tell yourself a totally different story.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There is nothing in the mind and nothing to the mind,
but thinking that there is keeps you from realizing it.

To BE FREE is to see that mind has 
nothing of its own --  it is just a medium.

Without thoughts, mind would be like a heart 
with no blood to pump  --  nothing to do  --
a useless, (and in this instance), non existent organ.

    Realizing your true nature is seeing a 
    black snake at midnight.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

To gain THE KNOWLEDGE does not require that you 
know anything that you do not now know;
it just requires that you wake up to what knowing is.
 
 
 
 
 
 

More Things You Can Do:
Grease your driveway;
make your house the size of your property --  and 
always act as though no one is ever home but you.

   One More: refuse to respond to questions you have.
 
 
 
 
 
 

The type of people with an interest-in & irritation-with jackals’ chasings are predisposed to study the available literature on the subject as opposed to 
personal field work.

This approach will blindly bind a person’s attention to the patterns made by the jackals’ feet
so that they never look up and 
see right through the jackals.
 
 
 
 
 
 

There is a Universal Radio that plays;
everyone hears it;
it explains life.

If it is opened up it is found to be empty;
absolutely nothing inside it --  yet it plays;
everyone hears it --  no one understands it;
that’s why few ever open it up.

  Life is so afraid that if men’s hearts ever took a break that they would never return to work,
and thus will not allow hearts to do so.

  Jackals will absolutely – CHASE their little hearts out --  and mostly for no apparent reward.
 
 
 

Taking the past seriously creates two things:
History, and personal delusion;
taking life seriously has two results:
living, and living under needless pressure.
 
 
 
 

Life is simple;
THE KNOWLEDGE is simple,
but few have the dexterity to open up the radio,
and learn what TRUE simplicity is  --    emptiness,
that’s what it is --  good
old-fashion, down-to-earth --  NOTHINGNESS.
 

Knowing-the-knowledge will make you simple like you can’t presently imagine -- 
but note how little interest your jackal chasing 
has in this possibility.
 

Jackals in a radio chasing their imaginary tales.
 
 

Why not look directly at what is going on in 
your own radio rather than listening to endless stories about Marconi’s alleged enlightenment.

           It’s all right there  --   and all quite simple.
