ROUNDUP
& EXTREME INTERROGATION OF THE WEEK’S ALLEGED NEWS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As
the certain man eventually understands:
there
are always other views of everything (to point);
the
brain may be thinking multiple thoughts about some matter
--
--
even every one possible -- and ordinary consciousness could but be
his
mind’s momentary awareness of one of them.......................................
which
would make out the super explosive realization of the certain man
to be
...................well,
maybe you would like to finish this one.......................................
- - -
The
Situation: Freight trains rushing
through.
The
Alteration: Count the cars --
or: think about just one of them --
doesn’t matter which one, just focus on one of them
for no other reason than to have something to focus on.
- - -
Playing
doctor with himself, one man would, in a grave, professionally sounding
voice, announce to himself each morning that the next 24 hours would be
critical.
- - -
Probably
the biggest benefit (other than becoming immortal)
to achieving enlightenment
is
in being able to fly and make others do what you want.
......................................................................(Nothing
to scoff at, charlie!)
- - -
Those
who believe their life would make an “interesting story”
have
a desperate man’s conception of, interesting.
- - -
Those
who rhapsodize the glories of freedom are themselves captive,
and
he who sings the praises of man is still one himself.
- - -
“What
is the most insane, deranged, and erratic idea men have ever expressed?”
“That you should get-in-touch-with your
body and mind.”
- - -
A
man who thinks that he is good at some particular thing --
may actually be;
a
man good at the one
thing
doesn't get suckered into all of this.
- - -
Those
who feel the need to learn morality -- or to teach it to others
--
are
chipmunks in a hole storm.
- - -
When
someone is attempting to follow a teaching that is not working for them,
they
begin to tout it -- trying to get others to join them
in their frustrating efforts.
Neat, huh?!
- - -
Mind
leads men to think they want to know the world,
and
that they have only their own self as the instrument of study,
but
what mind really wants is to know itself, but if it approached the matter
directly, the befuddling question would immediately arise:
“Son,
realizing what is going on may not stop thoughts,
but it will stop them from bothering you."
“And (I assume) if I am not pleased with that result,
I can always have my old thoughts back?!”
"In-double-dubitably.”
- - -
“What
I need is a plan.”
“No, what you need is the heartless, bloodless execution of
Any
philosophy or rules of life accepted as eternal
are
cement boots to sink any potential understanding.

Cooking Tip:
Even
when you apparently have the dish completed --
--
if there are still ingredients left over and available for use,
don't
forget to remember that
the
dish is finished.
.............(“Pa
Pa, that’s probably saying something about the mind and not food, huh?!”)
"Also
don’t forget, young man: when it comes to info concerning man’s inner reality:
how do you tell the difference between allegories and facts?
Hey!
-- why do you keep thinking that there is
any!”
Men
with their foot in a hole talk much about freedom to roam.

All
thoughts not about the physical world are men's effort to penetrate the
Big Bang --
--
to find the
origin
--
--
of what goes on in them, specifically.
Just
as chickens predictably scoff at the idea of some birds flying hundreds
of miles so too are struck ordinary minds regarding thoughts
that stretch further than their own.
All
ordinary thought is -- contrast;
to
a mind not contrasting thoughts -- everything
becomes clear.
What
the metaphysically inclined call: being-asleep,
captive
and, in-the-dark
is
in fact to be: scoffing, snickering, and sneering,
The
nature of the
realization
is so simple that nothing can fit in it,
and
so complex that there is nothing outside of it --
so
you see my friends --
with
no contrast of thought-only things,
they
cease to captivate the mind.
One
initial achievement is in
no
longer having any interest in what other people think or say;
the
next stage is in no longer finding it stupid.
“Son,
another one that won’t sound too nice to some, but is as true as: lead
won’t float is that those who passionately want to help others wake-up-and-see-the-light,
do
not themselves yet have their eyes fully opened.”
Reminder:
The
greatest of all delusions is men thinking they have control over what they
think.
Definition
Of The Day:
Meditation:
The study of juggling in an effort to become a mime.
“Pa pa, when you let yourself go,
Reminder
Number Two:
What
works in the kitchen works --
--
everything beyond that is watercress.
“My
boy, my best parting advice of the day is:
be
non committal in all that you mentally do -- except in one
thing.
Oh
yeah, and when you're laying there in bed every morning thinking --
--
right after you've just waked up --
don’t
think about what you’re thinking -- think about
your thinking.
And a final, pseudo important reminder (you young sidewinder):
One of the neater gains is losing the talent for sneering.
J
The certain
man just by himself -- is never alone;
the certain
man just by himself is always
alone.
