IS THIS THING RETURNABLE?

Nothing makes sense until you realize that 
life itself is alive, 
and human life makes no sense until you realize 
the existence of the collective mind.
Individual humans do have individual minds;
life has created  a collective mind to which each person's brain is connected, and from which they continually receive the thoughts that constitute what 
each man calls, "his mind."
 

Mind is like a passive speaker in your brain that
helplessly broadcasts whatever thoughts are 
sent to it by the collective mind;
your own thoughts may recoil at this description, 
and argue with the terms, 
but it is clearly, and demonstrably so,
and no amount of denial can cover it over, 
for an eye that wants to see.
 

The collective mind is responsible for the 
consistency and continuity of human thought over thousands of years;
it is how diverse men seem to understand what 
one another says 
sufficient to hold civilization together, 
when precise examination reveals that,
by their own admissions, they do not individually feel that they actually understand one another.
 

The collective mind is responsible for the welfare of 
man collectively, 
and much of what it leads men to say, and do,
which, from an individual’s view can seem nonsensical,
can be seen as otherwise in the context of things that contribute to the overall well being of the group.
The dreams and fairy tales so cherished by most of humanity serve a distinct usefulness FOR 
most of humanity,
but individuals, 
were they so inclined and permitted, 
who consider such things from their
individual perspective,
might come to a different conclusion.
And  many individuals do denounce the ideas, 
and mythologies of their fellow men,
but in routine cases the people involved understand nothing about what they are a part of;
they are simply outlets-for, and manifestations-of 
life talking to itself about man by way of 
the collective mind.

A mind that condemns other minds has no
understanding of mind, and is not an example OF
an individual mind.
 

An individual mind is what the few long for,
(whether they call it, “enlightenment, awakening, knowing-the-secret, or, higher consciousness,” 
it is in fact a longing for an individual mind).
 

You can never understand what is going on 
using only your portion of the collective mind,
for it is the collective mind that is responsible for 
what is going on.
It is responsible for all of the foolishness, and insanity
that your mind says is endemic in other men’s 
ideas and words,
but it is also responsible for making them think and say them, and for making you disfavor them,
same as how it makes you think, and say the things you do, and then makes others fault you.
 

It is obvious, (as evidenced by its existence), 
that it is in collective mind’s best interest that individual men do not concern themselves with all this -- 
--  or even be able to THINK about it, 
(without extraordinarily complex effort -- 
...which excludes most).
Ordinary, sane, educated, rational, sophisticated men who head governments, universities, armies, religions, and international corporations do their thinking only by way of their individual connection to the collective mind,
and every thought that ever passes through their head, from the most complex to the most mundane,
was fed to them automatically from 
the collective mind --  
and do note how well things have gone for man 
via this method.

 
Yet, no matter the fortune of the group,
the few are never satisfied --
never satisfied with what goes on in “their mind” --
nor can they ever be until they realize for themselves
that “their mind” is no such thing.
 

As is the norm in this grand adventure,
this is almost impossibility-on-the-hoof;
asking your mind to recognize that it is NOT,
“your” mind verges dangerously close to….
…to….oh, what’s the word?….
    …it rhymes with insanity?…  
        …oh yeah --  liberating!
 
 

The gradual, then – sudden --  realization that what goes on, and has always gone on in your mind
does not by any stretch, originate in you 
is one of the astounding discoveries a man eventually stumbles across in his struggle to get-to-the-bottom-of-things,
but it can easily be shown in advance to the alert:
just tell me what you are going to think, or say next.
 

The actual goal hungered for by those who read
such as this is to be free from the collective mind,
and what they have historically referred to as an
enlightened, awakened, or more-conscious mind
is no less than the dream OF 
a truly individual mind of their own.
There is but one way to ever experience this dream:
the realization of the collective mind.
 

          Freedom via recognition of confinement.
 
 

…(And tricky enough to keep the riff raff prison population where it belongs.)

             .....oh yeah: there was once an unknown appproach to doing this that was called:
                                                "Who do I see about refund?"
