(Continued from 5/3/02)

Only in the beginning is it acceptable for such people to believe-in,
and look-for, Secret Knowledge; The Forbidden Book; The Hidden Key,
The One Magical Fact that will solve all mysteries, answer all questions,
and change forever the understanding of the person who finds it.
Oh, there is such a fact, but every human brain already knows what it is;
its very operation of thought & consciousness is dependent thereon;
what those born to ChaseAfterTheThing are in truth unknowingly after
is to develop in their brain the unnatural ability to FaceThisFact,
and all of the things the brain thinks about that concern
cultural, second-reality activities are unrealized clues to how to do it.
 

It can be great brain fun to dream of magical, Objective Knowledge hidden in
far away mountain caves, or in mysterious libraries guarded by exotic keepers,
and splendid sport to read what purports to be it, or fragments thereof;
the very idea of there being in that miraculous, intangible universe that exists only in human heads, a piece of information that would instantly and fully explain everything about that special place is irresistible.
Most people entertain this interest via religion, (crude);
others through education, (futile);
and a few by what the others call mysticism,
which on the surface sounds more direct & promising,
but in its general practice suffers from both the other two’s primary failings:
it is done too crudely, and in ways that assure its futility.
 

Few of the few people who devote any substantial effort in pursuit of the
Objective Knowledge or Fact that will explain everything that man wants to know,
(which they think is hidden away and normally kept from him),
ever get beyond the fascinating grip of this belief.
An outside ordinary mind would say: “Well, if no such fact exists,
simply explain this to them; present them with the evidence,
and then they will comprehend the situation correctly,”
but such an endeavor is impossible;
a brain which, by its nature has accepted this idea cannot through any argument, evidence or rationale be made to see it otherwise;
there is no explanation for why any particular person ever sees, it other than:
that is how their brain was born.
 

And if you feel you may have been born with such a brain, or at least really enjoy the kind of stuff written about here each day, and wish to pursue it in anyway personally, then do not just read what is presented here, or anywhere else;
books and other people’s instructions will not do the job at all;
the information & fact you need to succeed will not come from reading,
and listening to other people’s ideas;
what you need do is read what your mind is saying about other people’s ideas --
which are the totality of the second-reality, which is the defining mark of humanity,
and about which most thoughts of most men are constantly concerned.
 

Put in another perspective:
the info-food that you & your mind needs to explain everything about
the second-reality, (remembering that the first, physical reality needs none;
everyone non mentally understands it clearly: you live, you die),
second-reality representatives, (humans), are serving up, round the clock;

The Objective Truth & Knowledge about man’s mental, spiritual, & cultural,
second-reality, that reality is relentlessly revealing itself  --  it can’t help itself.
Every idea that any man expresses about this unique realm is an expose of itself –
--  if your system is unnaturally wired to digest it in a special way, (that is:
you eat it for what it is without imagining it is anything more).

The reason the notion of Hidden Knowledge is so attractive is that
the brain knows there are no Objective Facts about this second-reality it has created,
(how can there be?!),
so to embrace a picture of such alleged info existing --  but,
being for the moment  --   out of reach,
covers up nicely the fact that none exists.

Oh, but it does  --   but man’s standard issue brain will never mention it  --  it cannot;
to do so would be self-defeating  --  inimical to its greatest creation;
for the brains of mankind in general to make-note-of & admit-to what is going on
would be this universe’s undisputed primo example of shooting yourself in the footsie,
and in this instance, would not simply draw blood from a pedal extremity,
but would cause the complete collapse of all that man has up to now achieved.

Not likely is this going to happen; not a hint of it in his history;
facing the elusive, ExplainEverythingFact is strictly in the hands of a
small number of humans born with an anomalous neural ability,
but they will never enjoy its full potential without some effort;
their brains do not come already set up to do the job,
and there are no objective-instructions on how to go about setting it up
that are applicable to everyone;
all you can do is  --  do something  ---
do anything that the ordinary brains you are surrounded by do not do.

And the way you practically approach this is simple:
you do not give over your attention to what other people say & think,
but to what that thing in your head called, your mind
is saying & thinking about what other people are saying & thinking --
which is the second-reality talking as personally, loudly & publicly as possible,
and unreservedly spilling the complete beans about itself with every word uttered.
 
 

The trick is to get your brain’s listening away from the normal area of consciousness and into the one unique to the few;
it is only by taking in the info coming from the second reality in that other neural locale that you can digest it in the extraordinary way that will explain everything,
and about which your mind has so long dreamed.

The way you can instantly tell if your brain is now taking in the data in the new location is if it offers no resistance or criticism of what it receives  --

If you have ceased handing over your conscious attention to the noise
being generated in the second-reality,
and instead have focused it on what your own mind is saying about the noise --
and your mind is in anyway  reacting to the noise  --

Once you get just enough grip on this to get you going good,
you will no longer have to search for special knowledge and instructions
on how to satisfy your unique hunger  --   it is everywhere  --  literally everywhere humans have been, and you could not separate yourself from it if you tried.

The clown dispenses the food incessantly --  in every form & flavor imaginable --
but to a man with the special digestion  --   they are all the same;
every morsel spoken innocently confesses to the true reality of man’s
unique, mentally contrived one.

The different appearing products of man’s mental world are all one thing,
and he who can digest this has eaten it all;
there is no more than this, but anything less than this will not do.
 
 

TheProcess could be described like this:
man goes from not being conscious-of and thinking-about life;
to being conscious-of and thinking-about life;
to the awakened state of being conscious of life without thinking about it.
