More Facts About: The Case; The Mystery;
                     The Problem, The Question.
 
 

 * The biggest impediment to unraveling the mystery 
      is in conceiving a premise reflective of the facts.

 * The precise diagnosis IS the solution;
    grasping the situation  --   the only success.
 
 

Those studying a detective course that says
man is now in condition X, but through method Red
he can achieve condition Y
accept this as the correct premise, and statement of the facts --  but they are wrong;
plug in anything you like to replace, “X, Red, & Y” and
it will still be invalid.
 

The mind cannot see and accurately describe the circumstances of this case for the simple reason that the case is entirely about the mind,
and the mind is entirely blind to the fact.
 

The mind can verbally analyze any situation that it cares to isolate from the ultimately inseparable,
interconnected entanglement of everything that is reality, and disassemble it into mentally describable components that will instantly support whatever premise it is proposing, but it is not required to objectively track physical reality, but only reflect the subjective mental workings of one tiny brain out of a mortal multitude.
 

The working premise accepted by 
each person’s ordinary mind regarding any matter
is whatever premise works in that person’s 
pre established thinking about the matter.
 

This is how it is, and no comments, criticism, 
or suggestions will be changing it;
this is how thinking works  --   this is how it is.

         See it --  get over it, and move on past it.
 

 
As incomprehensible as it first sounds:
if you think you really know what the “problem” is
that you are attempting to overcome through activity such as this --  you are far from any success,
for you are simply mistaken,
and it does not matter what exactly 
you think the problem to be;
whatever you think it to be --  it is not  --
the problem CANNOT be how you or anyone else 
thinks it to be.
If you can think that “THAT” is the problem --
then it most assuredly is not,
for if your comprehension of the situation was correct
you would no longer be THINKING about, “the problem” – you would no longer HAVE “the problem” -
the crime would be solved -- 
the case would be closed.
 
 

For one who does not know: unraveling the mystery 
of how a fuel pump works --  is doable;
any crime you can lay your hands on can be solved;
any question you can weigh, can be answered,
but beyond these clear and readily comprehensible limits, the search men’s minds engage in is in truth
an expedition in futility --  
an entertaining one --   perhaps,
but an exercise is self-fueling, self-referential folly.
 

When you have thoughts that tell you precisely,
”What the problem is” --  they deceive you --
for they ARE the problem;
your mind cannot honestly analyze the crime --
--  it IS the crime,
and your consciousness cannot lead you into 
“greater consciousness”
for your own consciousness is all there is, 
and it telling you otherwise does nothing but delude.
 

To those yet without the actual experience
it can all sound like an infinite house of mirrors --
                            --  which it is --
but the mind is not natively equipped to see the location of this reflective entrapment;
it looks at other people’s ideas, other men’s words,
anywhere but at itself;
IT is the infinite house of mirrors,
a place to pick up an endless assortment of 
theories, and suppositions,
but not factual knowledge of the crime scene,
and the circumstances surrounding the “problem";
the “mystery” --  the “Big Question”.
 
 

You will never get to the bottom of this well
without you come to an objective knowledge of the
land around the well.
”Why is this well here?….why is it exactly here?
Why do I want to see to its bottom?…
…what’s the motivation?
and why does such a simple seeming task 
prove so difficult?”
If you consider these questions --  and your inability
to adequately respond --
you should then be up to the job of admitting to yourself that which is undeniable ---  that you do not
KNOW what the problem is:
you do not have any genuine  idea what the crime is,
if indeed one has been committed,
and you do not know what the real question is
that bothers you --  you just know that you are bothered,
and if you can face it and leave it at that,
this adventure will take a whole new turn, 
with fresh excitement and discoveries galore.
 

If there was a 
“Supreme Approach To The Understanding”
it would be in the effort  to formulate for yourself,
a true and satisfying premise of the situation in which you are now, with a timely realization that such is not possible, and then  --   then it will all begin to make perfect, perfect sense for the first time.
 
 

Being able to somehow, side step thought,
and see that the mind does not know,
and cannot know that it does not know --  IS 
the knowing.
 

It sounds tricky and slippery --  and you better believe that it is;
simple, tricky and slippery,
so much so that it is almost impossible to do,
but it IS possible, or else the cellular activity in your brain making your reading of these words possible
could make no sense at all of them! --
--  but if they do…………well,
you can’t ever say that your own mind never gave you a fighting chance.  

                    What more can you ask for. 
 
 

Grasp the situation, and everything falls into place;
understand what your thoughts mean by, 
”the problem,” and --  Presto!  --  it is solved.
