Heads Up: You cannot be both
troubled-over-being-alive,
and
worried-about-being-unenlightened
-- they are mutually exclusive.
Life provides each person with
just enough neural fuel to
fret over one or the other.
(You may note that a majority
in the ninety-nine percentile
chose the first area...
maybe that is because it offers
so many more examples to
work with than the second?!…
that and the fact that being involved with the first worry
keeps you insulated from the
possibility of having to take
any meaningful action in relation
to your concerns.)
Those whose mental views are
still limited to what is permitted & provided by the collective mind
of man miss the fact that
certain successes continually
enjoyed by life are seen by ordinary men as disasters, (volcanic eruptions,
for instance: the planet,
[on whom man is in total dependence],
grows, and perchance some humans physically suffer in the process),
but he who knows how to make
use of his brain in a way not fully controlled by the constant dust cloud
of man’s collective mind that surrounds this orb, has a perspective of
life that differentiates between
a tooth ache, and worrying about
an upcoming dental appointment,
(or even between being diagnosed
as having a fatal ill, and singing the
physicians fateful pronouncement,
over and over again in your head).
Suffering the intense, near
unbearable pain
of a paper cut is one thing;
being troubled over man’s destruction
of the environment is not even in the same league -- it’s not even
in the minor, minor, remote league
of possibility.
Yet there men are --
always there;
ordinary people with their individual
share of man's collective mind,
always on call to play Cassandra
turned inside out;
to voice the apology in advance
for the rude noises life is about to make via the digestion of our growing
little friend -- step-mother earth,
(life itself being man’s real
mater).
What men define as “worries”
afflict all things alive here,
yet none display any sense that
they indeed do worry about these
life-wide things;
will you say this is because
only man has a mind,
and thus only man is intelligent
enough to worry about these
troubling matters?
Will you actually say that?
Can you really listen to you
saying/thinking that and take it seriously?!
If you can, then there is your
best possible example of being asleep, unenlightened, and totally confused,
(not to mention, normal, sane, and ordinary. Yo mamma would be proud
of you.
[Well, at least your step mama.......and
all your brother & sister cows].)
Only a man who has achieved the
extraordinary status of:
knowing-what’s-going-on
has the mystical insight, and
superior understanding
to know specifically and with
absolute certainty,
which things in life to be concerned
about,
and which things not to be;
only a truly enlightened man
has the understanding necessary
to correctly make this distinction.
…...must
you really be given the punch line to this?!
* * *
Part of the job of being ordinary,
dazed & confused is to:
Search for answers, (e.g. “Why
do bad things happen to
good people like me?”
“Where does creativity come from?”)
The privileged few find themselves
eventually seeking something else
other than answers --
its name? -- that’s hard to say.
“Do
you it is mean hard to know, or difficult to pronounce?”
* * *
In-spite-of & besides-all
the multitude of things that men
confidently claim to understand,
do you not find it interesting
that of the several specific things that all men have always professed
to be of most importance,
they freely confess to understanding
not one.

An old axiom holds that: “Those
books, worth the most, sell the least,”
which a perceptive man would
hold up to the light
for his own mind to read, ponder,
and put to use.
Anything fresh that an independent
mind can come up with,
the collective mind of man can
denounce in the blink of an eye/I.
Everyone except the king must
eventually play, mea culpa;
the solution?…..the way out?
-- isn’t it obvious?!
Silence can be beneficial to
escaping in that many a prisoner is held to his cell by his tongue being
caught in the door.
The uncircumcised say: “I prefer
to have my genitals, un mutilated,”
while the few, not yet fully
indoctrinated,
think the same about their mind.
When you can think in the rich-&-privileged
fashion,
first thoughts about a matter
are usually as good as it gets,
(which at least is always a
whole reality better than everyone else's.)
One man called his system for
awakening:
“Thirteen
Trees From Sunday,”
and when someone would say:
“I don’t get it!” –
-- “You’ve got it!”
he’d shout.
An independent mind IS
its own: science, religion & psychology.
When asked why he robbed banks,
he replied:
“’Cause that’s where the money
is”;
when another man was asked why
he kidnapped those who claimed to know what is going on,
he replied: “’Cause that’s where
all the confusion is coming from.”
Question: How much would you
now pay -- in cash -- to be back as
serenely ignorant as you were
before you started on this quest?
The ordinary are weighed down
with the woes-of-the-world;
a man of independent-mind,
only by the stray thoughts that
slip through,
still calling themselves him.
…the definition in fact, of an
independent
mind is:
a mind not solely defined by
the thoughts that automatically appear in and pass through it.
(Also the description of an
independent person.)
* * *
Those who, from their own experience,
understand escape,
are always smiling, and without
a thing in the world, troubling them.
What better pay off for finally
getting your eyes/I’s completely open.

A man in Greenland who believed he had awakened, was told
instead that he had a bipolar condition.
"Yes I do have a second home at Cape Horn --
but what does that have to do with it?"
