Here
is the supreme grumsticker: you will never catch on to what is going on
as
long as you believe that something wrong is going on in life, you and other
people,
and
by nature: so do men feel.
No
one thinks of repairing machinery that is not broken,
and
no one will try to fix something not malfunctioning,
so,
"Certainly -- obviously!" says man's mind, "Something is not going
correctly
with
me -- clearly with other people, and in large part, with
life itself;
something
is not right, and many things so in particular."
Such
a sentiment seems to civilian ears, unassailable, and a contrary view either
insane, or criminally uninformed --
and
in the ordinary world, no such perspective presents itself seriously; simply
stated: all sane homo sapiens recognize that many things about the life
of man are not right;
if
you are conscious, normal and thoughtful, you understand that something
is wrong.
From
that certain view of a certain kind of man -- men understand no such
thing;
part
of their nature is for the thinking part of their brain to say that it
positively feels
--
that
something is definitely wrong about the person in which it resides,
and
for whom it thinks and speaks,
and
every rational human's mind sees how untoward do others speak, think,
and
conduct their lives,
which
(even sans specific philosophical contemplation) results
in the combined minds of man-the-collective positioned to find life itself
amiss.
No
otter living in and totally surrounded by swamp gas can be told that what
it breathes is anything other than what otterdom has declared it to be;
the
ordinary thought workings of a normal brain can see nothing about itself
other than what it has been told by life that it sees (which is
all worthless [from that CertainView]).
What
a brain needs see to catch on -- it must somehow show itself;
a
waiter without hands attempting to serve himself *
(well,
the word, "somehow" does appear in the sentence, you will note)
--
The
effort & interest in, getting-to-the-bottom-of-things
seems to be a search for a cure: a cure that will straighten out all that
is wrong --
but
it is not a cure that is the destination -- it is a realization,
and
a realization cannot be described to someone not with it,
for
if they could comprehend a description of the realization they would already
have it,
so
the realization goal is called by and thought of in off center terms,
so
that inexperienced participants conceive of what they do as an attempt
to learn a cure for all that they feel to be wrong about life, others and
themselves,
which
irrepressibly leads the mind to what it calls: study and analyzation of
the problems -- of the wrongness (and here the quot
gets even pluirkier -- for):
to
ever achieve the kind of change needed by a man with that CertainHunger,
he
must abandon how things are with him now -- not analyze or
discuss them;
not
languishing in his naturally fed mind's fine sounding efforts to "find-the-causes"
for
how he is and the motivations for what he thinks, feels, says, and does
--
every
man starts there -- but it goes no where (yet a torpid rube
can stand forever
at the fairground
gates, and feel himself to have a lifetime of wondrous adventures
while never moving
from the spot [another of the mind's many singular talents]).
The
reality of what a man with that certain innate, potential view does,
whether
he be so aware or nay,
is
not a search for a cure for what is wrong,
nor
an attempt to discover the personal causes for what he is --
what
in truth he is up to cannot be told, for truth be told --
*
( Remember too that anyone who offers to serve you in this magnificent
dinner is also limbless.)
