Any repairman will tell you that
the key to success in fixing things is -- the
right tool.
Fact: to fix what the few are
always working on –
-- there is
no right tool.
Fact: you can’t let that stop
you since
there ain’t nothing broke to
begin with.
…(Just mind’s naturally skewed
vision of certain things.)
All normal members of human society
consider themselves to be --
repairmen,
and believe sincerely that part
of their reason for
being here is to fix things
that are broken,
and certainly no ordinary, sane
person would deny that much in earthly life is in need of remedial attention;
from the onset of recorded history,
such has always been the standard
view,
and contrarily, if anyone would
claim that everything in life is “perfect” as is, they would be considered
deranged.
The more civilized, social, and
oriented by
the younger areas of the brain
a person be,
the deeper is the feeling of
many things in life
being broken, and the greater
do they feel driven to
make needed repairs,
(or at least, sound the
constant call for same).
The younger eyes/I’s in
the talking part of man’s brain
are the source of this view
of life, and their concern for
the disreputable conditions
they perceive all around them
are the fountainhead of all
human progress,
which in specific point of fact
is technological progress,
(in that no such creature as
progress exists in the arts –
-- only in the sciences;
new schools of painting do not
improve man’s health --
-- new developments in
medicine do.)
The mind’s inborn perspective
of many things being in need of fixing is also the engine behind charity,
the doctrines of religions,
and the continuing interest
that a few men have in shifting the primary observation post in their
brain,
from where it naturally stands,
to -- some place else.
(Waking
Up; becoming Enlightened;
being Liberated).
These people, (if they ever get
off the starting blocks),
quickly go beyond an active
interest in the things outside themselves that appear to be in need
of fixing,
and their attention becomes
narrowed to just themselves.
In spite of the routine pressures
that life applies to everyone’s head, they do not try to save the world
--
-- only themselves, and
only the mental part thereof.
They attempt to fix their
consciousness,
their state-of-mind,
their mental view of life --
all of which equates to --
-- their understanding
of life.
If they do not early on, fall
over into a comfy ditch,
they have an unquestionable
sense that what they want to fix is not the problem of them eventually
dying,
or that before then they will
be subject to the ills,
and passions associated with
their genetic temperament,
(and also to the laws of gravity,
weather,
and other various cosmic constants.)
The keen-eyed few’s focus becomes
exclusively on themselves -- which is what must occur
--
but few of the few ever press
on down the road to the place of questioning the original motivation for
their
attempted journey -- which
was that:
something in them needed fixing.
This feeling is so much an integral
part of the talking, conscious operations of man’s brain,
and its self evidency seems
so blatantly obvious
that scarce indeed be those
who ever even think about looking into
the matter, (as noted:
only the insane
would even consider the possibility that things about man do not
need fixing.)
Thus it be in the range of,
Improbable to, Unlikely
that any person neurally equipped
to do so ever
investigates this question to
the point of
actually unwrapping it --
and to do so is what the few
are unknowingly after;
in spite of what gets said in
their head,
what drives them is not the
desire to fix themselves,
but to come to what is behind
this
desire.
Any repairman will tell you that
the key to fixing things is -- the right tool,
but the fact is that to fix
what the few believe they are working on
-- there is no right tool
--
...which doesn’t really matter
--
...since
nothing is really broken,
but the fact that even over
rides that one is that
you cannot let this interfere
with your investigation
until you suddenly come to recognize
for yourself,
exactly how things are around
here.
The only thing that needs fixing,
(in the few -- if that is you), is your
mind’s
eye’s sight.
