The whole point of this sort of thing is to
GET A HEAD --
to have your own individual head,
rather than one that is just part of a faceless cattle herd.
An X-Ray man has
x-ray vision;
to get-a-head you
must have x-ray vision;
have x-ray vision, and be able to SEE
THRU EVERYTHING.
The light only shines right now;
for a man who can stand, there
is only – right here.
for a man who can hear, it only
says THIS,
and for a man with-a-head --
it’s all DOWN BELOW.
At the bottom of everything is
everything you want to know.
At the bottom of mind is the
bottom of everything.
Only
the headless take credit for themselves.
There is in fact, much that only the headless do:
predict the future; remember the past;
explain their motives, and the purpose of life;
criticize, worry, whine & complain;
talk seriously about matters about which they know
nothing, which includes all matters that you cannot put in a sack, which
are matters that no one can ever know anything about, since mind makes
such matters up, and there is nothing TO know about made-up matters….well,
other than knowing that they are purely -- made-up.
….…..oh yeah, and a final thing:
just talking about yourself in general.
QUOTE:
“Ahh, the headless have ALL
the fun!”
If the goal of this kind of thing is to radically change
your mental & emotional habits,
then the most efficient approach would be to
get right at the root of the matter,
and change -- who you
seem to be.
Do not just pretend to think & feel differently
--
pretend to be a different person entirely,
and ergo -- your thinking & feeling habits
will automatically change with no further effort required.
QUOTE: “Okay, dammit! --
so it’s NOT my real name -
- so what – I’m not my
real person either?!”
The automatic flow of thought
& emotion
that runs endlessly thru
consciousness
helps shield a person from ever having the
opportunity to ponder:
”Who is it in me doing this
thinking & emoting?”
To have the capacity to think,
and then not use it to study
the nature of mind
is to be a man with a thirst
by a drink machine
with only a thousand dollar
bill.
P.S. if you don’t understand
what this means,
you have no change coming.
JAN
A man working to GET
A HEAD is --
in his own consciousness -- a gang of one.
P.P.S. When you have turned being
alive
into a totally new game,
getting your own head renders you
constructively --
headless after all.
