ANTI
FACTS
____________
After many years in the
struggle,
one man suddenly thought:
”If I am not awake by now
-- I’ll probably never be,”
immediately followed by:
”Damn! If I’d realized
that years ago
I’ll probably BE
awake now.”
Trying to abandon your present
non understanding
is a costly mistake,
for all you need to know you
learn from your current condition-of-mind.
Men want to trade in their old
car for a different model --
-- there are none
-- only the one you have;
…(you’re just not sitting in
it in a position that is comfortable for you.)
Realizing that you do not know
what you are doing in trying-to-do-this-thing
is the very thing that will
reveal everything to you.
The you that doesn’t know
where to go,
is the real & enlightened
you.
(And only the enlightened can
bear-r-r
to face this fact!)
In alternative words: Don’t
look for The Secret
-
look to the thing in you that
doesn’t know the secret --
-- it
knows everything.
Axiom With
Its Front End Aligned:
The non knowing will inherent
the earth – the inner earth,
wherein nothing can be planted,
nor anything reaped --
”Ahhh
-- sweet quiet relief.”
”Wising
up” and knowing when
to wise up are
two
different matters
..…and
some times only the second one matters.
To be asleep is to be dogmatic;
to be dogmatic is to be emphatic;
to know what’s happenin’
is to apparently not know.
To be un asleep is to be catmatic.
Everything
proceeds in a certain order --
…but it
doesn’t mean anything --
…and it’s just your imagination anyway.
All knowledge of the incorporeal
is noise;
all noise is home grown;
life forces everyone to have
a garden;
if you ever actually grow
up,
you are allowed to abandon yours.
“Ah,
sweet jeezus --
what blessed silence cometh now from my yard!”
Never ask someone how to wake
up;
ask instead, how you can be
so stupid as to not be
close friends with your stupidity.
People read books & other
people’s speech
to keep from having to visit
their own back yard.
Having a describable, stable
method
to awaken by
is some people’s substitute
for the routine dog yapping,
…(and only those who have indifferenced
their mutt into
its own insouciance can stand
to face this fact,
and hear the liberating silence
of nothing.)
Hint:
If you say you want to understand what is really going on --
(but really don’t) --
all you need do to protect yourself
is
ask someone else to tell
you -- what-is-going-on.
(Life will shield you just as
much as you
want
to be shielded, [on that you can rely].)
Fact:
Those who wise-up have ceased to rely on anything.
…(Fact,
fact, fact: hint,
hint, hint.)
To
ever fully catch-on,
you
have to know what you look like from the back -- BUT
you’ve
got to do it without looking back.
Title of a book you should probably
read:
“Thought As Ventilation:
A Blood Coolant,” (no doubt).
The
distracting struggle with behavior
keeps
men’s inner universities -- kindergartens.
If
you can label the way a person leads their life
then
rest assured that they are as asleep as everyone else.
Attila was doing all
right……’til
he converted to civility;
and Faust was doing okay ‘til
he abandoned his.
See -- you can’t win at
this as long as you
see it as a contest.
“Yipee!
-- I win!”
“How do you know?”
“’Cause I can no longer tell.”
All systems taught to achieve
enlightenment are forms of
self inflicted wounds -- and
moreover:
to a self that doesn’t exist
until you inflict the wound.
In
the first stage of a journey,
a
man thinks only about the destination;
in
the next stage, he begins thinking full time about
the
effort of the travel.
If
this doesn’t land him in a ditch,
he
then begins moving faster while
thinking
of nothing but: “What the hell I am doing here?!”
and
that’s when the destination comes forward from the mist.
A son asked his father:
”What is the difference between
‘facts’ & ‘anti facts’?”
and in a more spatial reality
-- he would have been
sent to his room for asking
such a question -- but -- this family lived in an area wherein the
illusion of differences-between-things did not exist.
….(“Phew!
Close call, huh?!”)
The non tourist version of Enlightenmentland
is a place of equitably-distributed-reality --
…just like where you live…
…’cept here you don’t have to
wear headphones,
and listen to a gawdawful
running commentary
on a forced shlepping tour of
the premises.
In
the secret theme park where the privileged
come-to-their-senses
-- and to their senses only – (leaving
behind their mind’s otiose criticism of
what the senses feeds it)
--
people are left on their own
to wander where they will;
ride the rides, or not;
play the games, or don’t,
see the shows, or pass
-- it’s all up to you -- mentally,
that is --same as with your everyday life except here you no longer
feel compelled to strut around the grounds like a make-believe big shot
with unlimited funds & power
who pretends to believe that
he can
bend the physical facilities
of the park to his will --
….as long as he attempts it
strictly in his dreams.
One day as he was hanging around
the main gate of the park -- AGAIN
--
one man was suddenly struck:
”If I was ever going to achieve
enlightenment,
I’d a’surely done it by now”
-- which was
instantly followed by another
bolt:
”Damn! If I’d a’had that thought
years ago --
-- and realized what it
actually meant --
I’d now BE
enlightened:”
an instant recognition that
finally --
brought-the-light-to-his-eyes/I's.
”Yass
‘ir! Step right up ladies & gents --
come
on in.
No
lines, no waiting,
and
the cost for admission is only
everything
your little heart despises,
(which is easily paid),
all
you need do is turn to that part of your heart that is unenlightened,
and
ignorant as to how to become so,
and
it will give you every single thing you need
to
know to get you into the park."
No
one can instruct the would-be intelligent
like
the presently stupid.
Only
that which seems to be
the
most asleep part of you
can
actually awaken
you.
Neat, huh?! -- and scary too!.
