and for years he mistook the radio for him.

There exists a world wide, historical neural phenomenon experienced by a few humans known by various names such as, Awakening, Enlightening, Liberation;
it is the genesis of all man’s great myths, religions, literature and art;
no one fully understands it --  yet none who experience it can ever forget it.

The primary difference between the many and the few is that
the many take symbolism literally.
 

Notice! -- You cannot help being the way you are!   ---    unless you can.       Notice!
really --  you should really notice this  --   for real.

The speaker said: “The thing about the mind is that it will relive your life
over and over for you in every possible permutation,” and a listener then asked:
“Is that merely an observation or a complaint?” to which the speaker replied:
“For all we know it might should be a brag.”

Men are condemned both by themselves and by others for two things:
what they do to others and what they do to themselves.

In standard city myths, a knight dropping his steed’s reins represents a giving in to man’s unthinking animal nature,
while realization of the MissingPossibility results in the steed dropping the bit on its own from its clenched teeth.

Becoming aware of the MissingPossibility takes all the angry winds out of
                                                              all your mental sails.

Why does everyone believe they deserve more respect & consideration?            Why?
(Thankfully this doesn’t apply to you, huh.)

Everything man says about man and man’s non tangible realm
is a display of his ignorance regarding the MissingPossibility.

                                           SHOW BIZ & THE KNOW BIZ

To be awake is to always be too hip for whatever room you’re playing --
including your own head.
(To be heavy awake is to say something like the above then refuse to explain it.)
 
 

*  *  *  *  *







The height of ordinary consciousness’ sight is to perceive that every act is
good for someone but also bad for someone else  --   so,
the best a man can do is to weight his acts as much as he can toward the good,
but once you are aware of the MissingPossibility,
even this apparently sound perception collapses.

Only a real friend will never offer you advice on how you should live your life.
(Note: they are as scarce as neutrinos & humble rabbis.)

A man who uses the word, ethics has either had a stroke or is about to sell you a car.

Trying to awaken without an ultimate awareness of the MissingPossibility
is attempting the impossible.

A man outside TheCity is not angered by mental assaults  --  merely bored by them.

For the few who know their way out to ThePlains the only possible question left is:
           What to do with consciousness when it has no real job to do?

 Men’s attention tends to naturally stay quite restricted,
 as if life is trying its hardest to concentrate  --   in that one person.
 
 


*  *  *  *  *








To wake up is not to save the world --  it is not even to save yourself;
it just is what it is.
 
 

*  *  *  *  *







Compared to knowing about the MissingPossibility,
everything else said about TheSecret is like chaff in the wind;
the direction in which the words blow may point correctly,
but no words, no matter how close to ThePossibilitythey may be
are in any way comparable to its personal realization.

Awareness of the MissingPossibility renders everything else you have ever
thought of, heard of or discovered  --   mostly irrelevant.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A man discovered a mask --
and when he looked through the eyes of the mask he understood everything.
(It was the possibility of a mask, to be exact.)
