WORLD'S LARGEST JEWEL DISCOVERED!
OOPS! -- NOW IT GOT UNDISCOVERED

______________________

Perhaps the strangest activity possible for man
is the brain trying to monitor its own consciousness:
not the heart’s beating; not the lungs’ breathing,
but it own cortical activity.
(Strangest, and for the certain man, the most rewarding -- and enjoyable.)
Without The Realization you never know what you are actually trying to do,
(you only have someone else’s description for it --   which is not reliable)
and unless you are struggling to DoTheThing you should not expect to ever
achieve The Realization.
(Figuratively speaking in retrospect: it would be nice if you could be made to understand the difference between the two when you first undertake this activity.)
The captious lure in man’s collective thinking is in your mind believing that
it wants to possess what other men say they mentally desire.
Striving for the so-called, knowledge which attracts other men
will keep the certain man cretinized.
The tuition cost for attending school is you paying someone to force you to read;
it is not for the purpose of, learning-from-experts
for all that the instructors know is what they have also read.
    “Say, Pop – what’ll you bet this is a metaphor about something far removed from
      academic matriculation, huh?!”
The further you take DoingTheThing from your own brain
the more distant remains The Realization.
    An un speaking infant hears-the-truth --
    he does not understand what he hears --   but he hears it.
Turn your back to the sun and your belly is in the shade;
turn your attention from the flow and you finally have some actual attention.
    A cut cake, no matter how momentarily tasty seem the morsels,
    has not the same satisfying quality as one left untouched.
   DoingTheThing is the reversal of such cutting,
    and The Realization is the recognition of the occasion that begged the cake.
The realized mind, rather than thinking in such terms as:
being-asleep, unenlightened, and captive,
more accurately perceives the situation behind the notions as:
the-conservation-of-energy,
and the corollary: taking-the-course-of-least-resistance --
activity, not at all untoward & irregular -- but natural & normal --
    yet for the certain man -- infuriating.
    (How un normal in your brain can a man be?!)

Trying to diminish                                                  the size of that blemish
                                                 makes it seem to expand. In one place, DoingTheThing is also called: HandsOff
(and in another: AlwaysOn).
When you think it be “desperate times” you deplete yourself of the energy to DoTheThing. Says one man: “Regardless of how the term normally represents a condition to be avoided, I personally strive to be --   'an untouchable' --
to have a mind that cannot be moved by other minds -- lesser minds, that is,
which all, other than the unmoveable one -- are.”
One man says his approach is that if he does not, to his full satisfaction, understand some matter that he finds himself thinking about within 3 seconds,
he drops it for the time being.
Only a king who doesn’t really give much of a damn can keep a whole kingdom
quiet & content...............................................................................well, at least, quiet.
Upon hearing a general say that for a large kingdom to properly exercise control
over a smaller one it must – “Get-underneath-it”
he suddenly understood the purpose of trying to DoTheThing.
One man says: “My first ten years of instruction concerning Enlightenment --
I got from books about Buddha:
the forty after that all came from show business,
(from such matters as: voice-overs; false-fronts; stand-ins; looping; tummlers; continuity managers; cliques; prompters; script-approval, and stunt doubles;
hell, I’ll bet that some where between The Borscht Belt and early Hollywood
appeared the first American School For Enlightened Awakening.”) The King never laughs or puts on airs,                                           the King never moves --   just sits and glares.
There is nothing that you ever notice about you that you can do anything about;
The Realization not only makes you understand this,
but also ignites a new spot in your brain that doesn’t care about it.
    “Man! --   I never expected I'd end up being such a dummy!”
         “Hey, you’re not that stupid.”
   “I don’t mean like that, I mean like in -- ventriloquist's dummy.”
Mind is like a prayer wheel --
“Ohhh! Spin me -- spin me!”
Mind is like a prayer wheel –
   “Oh --   it’s such fun to be spun!”
Mind is like a prayer wheel –
   Compared to trying to DoTheThing -- spinning is effortless;
      no wonder The Realization is so rare.
Mind is the prayer wheel of man’s life spinning -- spinning, spinning, spinning.
    One man pondered: “What is the purpose in meditating?..................but then again;
    what is the purpose in not?”
What is the difference between: DoingTheThing and trying to DoTheThing? There is none – either will do the job. One man mused: “It is better to be a rump roast than not burn at all.”
                                                    The discouraged like to discourage others.
The certain man’s way to an improved self image is to drop the image part.
    “What I find interesting,” says one man, “Is that if it were not for the stuff that
    I think of when I’m asleep, I would know what I do when I’m awake.”

                            “Does any of this make any sense to you?”
                                         “What?”
                                 “If you have to ask, ‘What?’ -- you’ve answered my question.”

The great, all encompassing Realization has one small hole in it --
which is plugged by -- DoingTheThing.

One man says:
"The neat thing about learning you have a terminal illness is that it shows you for real
how little effect information has on the life you actually lead."
