…and perhaps: 
                 The Strangest Aspect Of The Entire Case:
 
 
 

Everyone is their own Prosecuting Attorney, AND 
Honest Citizen;
everyone has a part of their mind that accuses,
and everyone is also the person that gets accused.
 
 

In the physical world, the State, 
(representing the collective interests of all the people), has a Prosecuting Attorney who brings charges
against those doing harm to the common good,
an activity supported by upright citizens,
but dreaded by malefactors.
 

In the non-physical, inner world of man’s mind
exists a parallel situation, but therein are all
parts played by a single person --  you.
 
 

In the physical world, 
a Prosecuting Attorney is elected by the people;
in the mental world, no one knows how he got the job.
In the physical world, 
the people have representatives who 
make the laws the Prosecutor enforces;
in the mental world, 
no one knows where the laws come from.
In the physical world, the portent of prosecution 
keeps most potential miscreants in line;
in the mental world, 
those to trouble-born appear oblivious to threats,
and in the physical world, if one does stray from the acceptable norm, rehabilitation is always a possibility,
while in the mental world, 
the inherent trouble makers seem incorrigible.
 

A shallow survey might proffer the explanation that 
the laws are an inheritance of prior generations --
which does not answer the question of where 
theirs came from, 
which then leads many supine minds to the 
ultimate fall-back-position of a supernatural force
being the original source of all the rules of conduct underwhich it seems required that man should live,
and in such scenarios, 
man’s own divinely-installed conscience IS the Prosecuting Attorney.

But any consciousness-producing-brain-activity
worth its cellular name & heritage
clearly understands that such explanations are but waiting-room distractions that it itself has concocted 
to give the mind something to do until,
”THE DOCTOR WILL SEE YOU NOW,” that is, 
until you develop your own doctor who can 
see through such expedient symbolism, and
into the heart of things as they tangibly be.
 
 

The few who actively try to solve this case
feel the affects of being both the 
Prosecuting Attorney, and the Honest Citizen
more poignantly than their peers,
and this ostensible inner dichotomy,
(known under various names), is in fact 
what fuels their investigation.

Historically, the most commonly talked about approaches to solving THE CASE,
answering THE QUESTION, and 
unraveling THE GREAT MYSTERY, 
have been: stopping-thought; self-remembering, and, being-mindful --
all being the same thing, and 
all being unrecognized descriptions of the place where at the assumed crime is being continually committed,
but they are not the solution to the mystery,
nor the answer to the question –
-- understanding their essence & presence IS.
 
 

The Understanding that blows the case wide open is this: there are not two different people in your mind, feelings, brain, or anywhere else;
the Prosecuting Attorney, and the Honest Citizen
are the same person --  you.
They take turns being you --
this is what supports the sensation of them 
being two separate people.
Why has it not struck you as curious that they never
appear together at the same time?
The Prosecutor always arrives 
just as the Citizen has fled,
and the latter only returns after the former departs.
 
 

               What is there to stop thought, but thought;
                 what is there to remember self, but self,
                and what is there to be mindful, but mind?!
 
 
 

But the case is so slippery that vasoline was named for it, ‘cause if you try to explain all of this to the Prosecutor, (when he is present),  
he can understand what the words are describing,
yet the concept completely baffles him,
and if you tell the Citizen that he and the Prosecutor
are the same person, he can only shake his head in amazement that such an obviously insane idea is being seriously submitted to him.
 

Although being alive can be great physical fun,
everyone feels at least a tad disconcerted 
regarding their inner, non tangible tango;
many relieve it via religion and the pretend belief in
being supernaturally forgiven for their 
unknown transgression;
most just accept the feeling as being part of the cost of being alive, and doing business.
Only a handful of people are ever seriously interested in the affair, and become entangled in trying to investigate it  --   notice, “TRYING” to investigate it,
for only a spoonful of the handful ever discover what actually constitutes the proper investigation;
many THINK they know what it is they 
want & need to know,
but their advance thinking of the matter is always
incorrect.
There is no crime that needs to be investigated, 
and prosecuted, but rather --
   --  an investigation and prosecution 
                      in need of same.
 
 
 

     There is no answer to the question: 
         “Why is life like this?”
     only to the never asked question: 
         “Why do I ask this question?”
 
 
 
 

                    THE UNDERSTANDING:
                     you work eight hours in the blazing sun
                     for the one split second when 
                          5 o’clock comes.

In resum natura:
 
 

The benefit of consciousness is that you can do 
two things at the same time; 
the irritation of consciousness is that you
do two things at the same time.

                    and what you think you dislike & don’t,
                   are both driven solely by your thinking.

Charity only EXISTS at home. 
The charity that is done for others must be done,
and is a result of your temperament; 
the charity which you extend to yourself comes about only through a willful effort based on your acquired understanding of  --   how life works.
