     STARE OUT THE PRISON WINDOWS RATHER THAN 
     LOOK AT YOUR OWN CHILD?"

Okay, here it is plain & simple: 
The mind wants to stay as far away from itself as possible.

              Noise is a tool a vacuity employs 
              to help keep it from looking at itself.
 
 
 
 
 

As of 3/21/2001:
Scrabble was surpassed in popularity by, 
pretending-to-know-what-you’re-talking-about.
 
 
 
 
 

            Everyone begins their search for Enlightenment 
            with the attempt to know who they are; 
            they perfect their effort when they realize that 
            they cannot know who they are.

     “Who’s driving this car?” “Who’s making the decisions here?”
            “Hey, who’s that asking all these questions, anyway?”
 
 
 
 
 

Only those who don’t know what to do 
advise others what they should do. 
(But have no fear: this still gives you approximately 
six billion sources from whom to obtain advice.)
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Lesson To BE Learned From An Awakened Man’s Life:
   There is no lesson to be learned from an awakened man’s life.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Guy says: “The only thing that keeps an intelligent man going is: knowing that humanity is killing itself,
and destroying the planet  --  and:
living with a race who worships a god who they say 
needs my financial help --  and:
being surrounded by people who a lot of the time
pretend to be really stupid -- 
           just to make me feel better.”
 
 
 
 
 

There is a bucket that only exists 
when you put something in it.
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Joys & Benefits Of Alternative Explanations:
1. You learn that you have been in a coma for 
the last 20 years, and that everything you have been thinking regarding “being asleep & waking up” 
were just dreams brought on by the coma.
2. You’re the only person actually taking life seriously; 
everyone else is just pretending to.
3. Everyone is awake but you.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Craving is the problem, and its ultimate version is -- 
craving release from mental cravings.

    Being unenlightened makes you hungry. 
      Mental cravings for things meaningless = Sleep.
 
 
 
 
 
 

As long as you’re lost in thinking 
you don’t have to think about what thinking is…
…and get really lost... as in, 
“I-just-realized-where-I-am”  lost.
 
 
 
 
 

Everybody has an unwanted, dumb twin --
problem is, most people are the twin, 
most of the time.
 
 
 
 
 

HOW TO TELL IF YOU DID:
when you do what you should have --                                  --   you don’t think about it later.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

                HOW TO TELL THAT YOU STILL DON’T GET IT:
                        You still have a hero.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Those who find lasting meaning in one word explanations of what might produce & equate to enlightenment, 
(such as: love, humility, compassion, wisdom), 
are lost in a dark woods,
fooled by passing glimmers of sunlight.
 
 
 
 
 
 

The difference between ordinary written crap, and mystical writings 
is that the latter are mystical.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Some people want to play jazz for the same reason that others want to wake up: 
            for the surprise, spontaneity, and excitement.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Even though words can be said to be anathema to  understanding, you cannot get the understanding without words.

   The stages go like this: first you look past words,
   then, through them,
   and there is your understanding,
 
 
 
 
 

It has been determined by a private research group 
that all of man’s complaints about his consciousness 
are due to the fact that he only has two places to go:  inside, or out.

"I SAY, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PUT ALL OF THIS INTO A SYSTEMATIZED FORM?"

     "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP READING IT FROM
                                            THE OUTSIDE IN?"
 
 
 
 
 
 

         The great mistake is in thinking there is a mind other than 
          your current illusionary one, 
          and a self beyond your 
          present real one.
