STORIES & STORIES ABOUT THE SO-CALLED NEWS
______________________________________
People
using ordinary minds who believe they can comprehend, correct,
or
outsmart life appear to have no idea of who they are dealing with,
in
that life has given man a mind capable of concocting such concepts as:
god,
patriotism, propaganda so that it always has someone other than itself
to
hold responsible for its actions, (as in): “Allah directed me to attack
those people”
or,
“God told me I should not get medical help for my sick child.” --
or:
“Governmental
brain-washing”, or,“Loyalty to my country (or ideals)
compelled
me to act as I did” –
all
such offering some sort of explanation for presumed, mental based behavior
for which the mind could not otherwise account for itself.
Note:
the mind only feels the need to try to account for itself
in
matters concerning the inner reality.
One
man makes the following public declaration: “Other than as I may be forced
to
by
law -- I accept no responsibility for anything I do of which
I disapprove afterwards.”
* * *
A
problem trailing a man while he is trying to get to the answer
is
the tendency to take other people’s apparent attitude toward the inner
reality -- too seriously!
--
as though ordinary people actually take
it seriously!
* * *
The
trap in trying to be provocative is in taking it as being insightful.
(‘Course
in taking anything to be something in particular lurks the ever present
danger of
taking
it to be something it is not.)
*
* *
The
air is filled with promos for, Later
-- (both
in and outside your head).
* * *
“Son"
said a father, "If you follow your old thoughts --
which
can always find fault with anything I tell you --
-- what I tell you is wasted."
Note:
A simple, salient and unavoidable fact that is commonly ignored,
(and
at excruciating expense to one trying to get to the bottom of things)
is that
sneering
at, or criticizing any human activity will keep you from ever understanding
the
purpose it is serving to the people involved, even beyond their own awareness.
* * *
Reminder:
When someone comes to your door seeking contributions,
do
not forget to give to the fund to help cure the only disease that afflicts
The
Few,
(you
know, the one with the fancy Latin title): “I
didn’t know I had it ‘til you told me.”
And
don't disremember the question: How can something be as important as DoingTheThing
turns out to be in the lives of The Few,
and
yet, unlike the other significants (eating, sleeping,
screwing)
someone
has to tell you about its existence?
Question:
Just what kind of undiscovered-land is it anyway that the explorer
would
never think of looking for did not someone describe it to him in advance.
(“What
have they done to that formerly excellent word, undiscovered?!”)

* *
Anyone
(including
your own mind) who tells you to study anything other than
the mind -- understands nothing.
* * *
Rather
than noting that the natural mind is in some manner always too much either:
this-way-or-that-way,
and saying that what is needed is a middle-ground,
more
accurately termed would be, a new-ground
--
one
not adjacent to either of the usual two (which they always are to
one another),
but
totally detached and apart.
Trying
to GetToTheThing
is like trying to dodge & tap-dance-your-way-through
an
endless barrage of arrows constantly coming at you from both directions,
(the pros and
the cons, the thises and the thats, the fors and againsts).
* * *
Why
do not prominent athletes promote themselves as vigorously as do
celebrities
in activities not based on physical prowess?
In
many ways man has created a mental, imaginary world that is even more fascinating
than the physical one:
go
into any church or temple and observe for yourself.
* * *
If
you have to read a book to learn how to conduct your life --
you are normal --
and
in fact will be in the running to be deemed, above
average
by
other such book readers.
*
* *
If
there is a conspiracy in the fact that two per cent of the people run the
world,
then
there can also be a conspiracy among the other ninety eight per cent to
let ‘em.
* * *
What
the few are attempting to do is tap in on a mind unused; what most people
have is not -- a
mind,
but rather something best called -- a-mind-about-their-self.
*
* *
Don’t
take no, yes, maybe or anything else that comes from the mouth of another
man as an answer.
*
* *
The
truth
does not need defending or promoting –
--
which is one reason you seldom hear of it.
* * *
Okay
-- here’s how it is:
the
only people who can teach you how to, wake-up
& achieve-enlightenment
are those who have been taught how to do so by someone else;
if,
after pondering this fact for six seconds, something doesn’t strike you
