VOICES:
Part
2
__________
Everyone hears voices, which
causes in men, a feeling of detachment;
as though they are in part,
a spectator of life;
a step removed from the things
going on around them.
Everyone believes that the voices
they hear speak to them specifically, uniquely, and individualistically,
and they accept them as
the full representation of consciousness.
This is the origin of the distinction
men draw between:
the world of voices --
IN-HERE,
and the world of events --
OUT-THERE.
It is the basis of a condition
that has poetically been referred to as: “Living in a dream while moving
around with your eyes open.”
It is necessary that a man hear
voices for him to become
conscious in the minimally technical
sense;
it is also a requirement for
him becoming civilized.
After that, the stage is set
for the person to start functioning as the medium by which the voices
in-here
attempt to work their will on
the world out-there.
No creature can conceive of affecting
its circumstances
unless it feels partially disconnected
there from.
Not hearing voices, a leopard
not only cannot alter the pattern of its wardrobe, but neither can it imagine
the building of a shelter in which to retreat from the rain and save its
suit from shrinking.
To be civilized is to willfully
alter conditions --
-- both internally and
without,
and for this to occur, you must
feel that you are something apart from the conditions, (both internally
and without),
and to experience this sensation
-- everyone hears voices:
voices whose mere presence causes
a person to feel
partially detached from the
rest of life -- even isolated,
(and this does not even take
into account the things THAT they say
which reinforce this sense of
displacement).
Hearing voices gives men the
sense of having an individuality,
even while inseparably, part
OF
a herd.
Believing that the voices he
hears are directed to him
specifically & uniquely
makes this,
“I’m-a-piece-of-a-larger-puzzle-yet-still-my-own-self-directed-piece”
feeling possible.
As long as the voices a man
hears INSIDE him,
can be in some conflict with
what is happening OUTSIDE of him,
the illusion of individuality
is secure --
as is also, the feeling of a
separation from circumstances.
The voices tell men: “You can
change that thing out-there,”
and in so doing, indirectly
tell him:
“You are something APART
FROM the things -- out-there,”
which supports a mental view
functionally efficient for herd needs,
but disorienting, and annoying
to a few head here-&-there
who somehow got themselves born
with an innate taste for
TRUE individuality, (if
such an open range actually exists.)
Hearing voices makes man able
to alter his environment;
hearing the voices makes man
feel apart FROM his environment;
feeling a disconnection between
you and your environment is
the living definition of being,
“asleep, deluded & trapped.”
Hearing voices causes men to
turn inward;
while their eyeballs look out,
their thoughts turn in;
while their corneas look at
life,
their minds look to the voices.
To affect the physical conditions
outside of them,
men must look to the voices
inside of them,
but a few are put off by the
STARING
that inevitably takes over,
and by the voices’ incessant
chatter
even when there is no practical
point to it.
PLUS ---
a few people somehow discover
through non standard experiences
that the view of life expressed
by the voices is not the only one:
a realization that is astounding
…...…and yet,
is no less than the few have
always suspected.
The realization is not “mystical,”
but, neural;
the view is not “occult &
other-worldly,” but, in-your-face physical.
The voices are here to tell men
how things COULD be;
the few “wake up” to see how
things ARE.
Now put it all together &
run with it:
The voices are NOT going
to tell you how things are -- NOR
will they tell you how to wake
up & escape their influence.
You must use the ears of your
mind to listen for that which is
beyond the voices that everyone
hears;
that is what you need heed,
to proceed.

If you think there are arguments, pro & con regarding the existence
of free will,
then no matter your education, reputation or I.Q. --
-- you haven’t got a clue.
