One
man continually discovered a fracas going on --
which
he would step into and stop -- in fact,
just
his appearance brought it to a halt,
a
fact which for a long time he did not appreciate.
In
a galaxy far aweigh is a planet on which nothing is wrong --
nothing.
No
one has any complaints; no one ever looks to the future,
or
says they wish things were this-way-or-that;
everyone
there is perfectly at peace and satisfied,
(and possibly dead).
Whoa!
In no galaxy anywhere is there a planet with life
on
which there is not constant griping and dissatisfaction! --
....and
the universe says you should face the fact and get over it……..no it doesn’t;
the
universe is not about to tell living creatures such a thing --
not
after having gone to all the trouble of arranging everything so as
to
put everyone on edge,
(bet cha in fact that to outsiders, this universe’s
address is: 1450 The Edge.)
Hazy
humans believe they talk about things
-- not so,
they
talk about words,
(unless the subject is food).
While
everything that man knows is based on fact,
some
facts are different than other facts --
and
a man said to a mystic: “Most of what you say, my thoughts convince me
to ignore, but the times when they can’t -- what you say upsets
me greatly.”
Facts be nimble,
facts be quick,
eating the wrong kind can make you sick! -- and you not even know
it.
Mucusy
men think they think about things
-- incorrect-o;
their
thoughts are about words -- what d’you think
they were about!.
The
jagged nutcracker in the fruit basket of all who wish enlightenment is:
you
cannot obtain what you think you already possess;
the
hidden, anti-suicidal explosive in the sweets is:
if
you know you are asleep,
and
know you want to awaken,
you
cannot discover what you think you already know.
“Is that really fair?”
Perplexed
people think they search through stuff -- wrong,
they
pile through words.
Trying
to awaken is the only activity known to this universe -- in
which:
the
effort is the closest thing there is to the accomplishment,
and
those who confuse the two words live forever amidst a fracas.
The
lazy dream of action -- the busy, of rest;
the awakened, of being awake.
He with no idle business alone has the leisure to rise himself from the stupor.
All
tales that stir men’s minds are stories once told by someone who
had
been momentarily freed from the dream;
.....and a man said to a mystic:
J
When
you realize What
The Deal Is
not
necessarily do you then know anything of interest to anyone else.
.......(Pst! --don’t let your present mind hear about this or the fracas could intensify.)
“Hold ‘er steady as she goes, Bosun.”
Once
you Know
What The Deal Is
you
can no longer be kept out
of The Deal ---
‘cause
you now see through
The Deal --
you
realize there is
no Deal:
men’s minds made the whole Deal up.
“Just
look out there, Mate -- nothing but clear skies,
smooth seas, and
our
own splendiferous mind.”
