THE
COLLECTIVE CURRENT
_____________________________________________
There
is a collective current flowing omnipresently through man
like
water in a wetlands that is responsible for the circumstances of men's
lives;
a
requirement for an ordinary existence is to mentally interpret the ever
changing circumstances of your life to be particular TO your life
-- (how can you not!?),
but
for the few, taking the current to be individual and personal
is
what confuses and disorients.
What
is more natural and rational than to take what happens in your life
to
be personal TO your life;
if
you contract a serious illness; your mother dies; your house burns down;
you
lose all your money -- how can you not take such things as particular to
your life? – they happened to you -- it is you who is sick
when you get sick;
it
is your money that is gone when you lose your money;
these
things can happen to other people also, but when they happen to you
--
they
happen to you personally, and individually, dammit!
What
fool would claim otherwise!
Were
not 99.99999% of all humans living and dead programmed for such a mental
view, human existence as presently known, would be totally unknown;
civilization
with its mental core would collapse overnight did not each ordinary man,
in
his thoughts about life, take what occurs in his life to be directly, and
intentionally particular to his life; if such a prevailing attitude were
not embedded in human genes, the life of man would not be substantially
different from any other animal;
rhinos
for instance are clearly too dumb to be upset by it raining
just
after they have had their hair done -- no, all other creatures live
as though
they
do not give any personally felt
notice to the circumstances of their lives --
they
just passively accept whatever happens almost as though it did NOT happen,
in
the sense that since they are not programmed to know anything to do about
the
circumstances of their lives, any personal concern thereabout is so
totally
meaningless as to constructively render the question of
the
circumstances’ actual existence, itself useless.
Only
by taking what happens in his life individually and personally
has
man forged civilization with all of its physically beneficial technology,
and
its mentally entertaining culture;
men
say that the events in their lives are directly placed there by God, Fate,
the stars,
or
their own unconscious, suppressed desires, but whatever name is given a
source, they all serve the purpose; to support the feeling that the
circumstances of one’s life
is
particular TO one individually.
There
is no way to begin to tell the six billion ordinary people on this planet
that this is not so: how can you convey to a normal man, with any sense
of reason and reality,
any
idea that literally says what happens in his life is not particular to
his life? --
it
cannot be done --
and
it cannot be done because believing it is instinctive to man’s mind.
But
then we have the .00001% (for whom these daily writings appear)
whose
mental wiring & programming is not confined to mankind’s collective
norm,
and
whose verbal based consciousness can be profitably approached with ideas
that everyone else’s thinking would find foolish, irrational, impossible,
incomprehensible,
(in
today’s case): that what happens in your life is not particular to your
life;
that
the ever changing circumstances of your life have nothing whatever to do
with
you
personally or individually:
they
are but an omnipresent blanket, totally enveloping all of humanity
--
raining
on everyone -- and everyone individually taking the wetness
personally;
that
is how it is, and by objective observation -- how it is supposed
to be --
in
the minds and feelings of the 99.99999%,
but
for the few (born with an anomalous burr under their nervous system saddle),
whose core drive is to satisfactorily grasp what is going on with being
alive,
being
human, and having thoughts:
this
is not only unacceptable -- it is a direct barrier;
taking,
interpreting (as is natural for man) what happens in your life
to
be in any manner anything personal and particularly related to you
is
to condemn your sight to a site always engulfed by heavy fog and distracting
din;
as
though your consciousness continuing wanders a dreamlike battle field whereon
is
endless waged an endless struggle between you and the events of your life,
(or
as with all dreams: what seems
to be you,
and
what seems
to be the events of your
life).
This
will not suffice for the certain man determined to get to the bottom of
all this
(and
everything else connected to matters intangible which exist only for man);
in
your consciousness, taking what happens in your life to be particular to
your life,
(as
is the natural thing for men to do)
will
absolutely keep your conscious comprehension of life in the same state,
at
the same irrelevant level as every other person on this planet,
none
of whom have any interest in the matter driving you.
The
natural born part of your mind can never see the situation any differently
than
it
does now (any more than can other ordinary people be made to see so),
it
is only in that rebellious neural area of the certain man’s nervous system
that
another perspective is possible; it is not something that can be taught
by
one
man who has activated such a view to another who wants it:
it
is not information in the ordinary mental sense of the word;
it
is an awareness -- a totally extraordinary experiential awareness;
an
indubitable, real time, all encompassing feeling of the presence and the
nature of
a
collective current, one which seems to routine minds to be continually
breaking
up into small bits which men call the circumstances of their personal lives:
these
ever changing, apparent pieces from the in truth, indivisible,
overall
current produce what standard human consciousness sees as the particular,
personal events in one’s life:
events
that are somehow tied to one’s individual existence,
either
by one being singled out for the events by supernatural forces, or else
by
the
events being naturally attracted to one’s life by reason of the person’s
own deeds,
and/or
their non conscious psychology;
the
certain man’s completely unconventional experience of the
the
collective current’s omnipresent and impersonal reality,
and
how ordinary minds automatically perceive it in but bits and pieces,
which
they interpret to be the particular circumstances that occur in their lives,
sets
his eyes/I’s
free --
his
mental sight emerges from the smoke and noise of the illusory inner war
field;
his
thinking function (when not engaged in survival related activity)
is
liberated from a life of busy-work;
he
can think about things without them being still connected to the dream
world
natural
to ordinary men’s recreational mentation;
his
thoughts can handle things in man’s cultural realm as they are --
not
as the cultural part of man’s nervous system says them to be:
only
he who knows from experience, the full nature of the collective current
can pick up something in man’s second reality that no one can touch
-- and touch its reality -- and ergo, understand what
it really is, whereas everyone else’s knowledge of what it is is confined
to whatever their natural born mind tells them it is --
which,
it being the author of the thing, and having a deep vested interest therein,
cannot be trusted to give a reliable description there of (plainly, allegorically
put):
Lewis
Carroll can never admit he made up
Alice
& her Wonderland
-- he can’t do it, honesty and sincerity have nothing to do with
it:
he
is
incapable of saying that he is aware he totally invented the tale &
its characters, and not understanding this is being blinded
by the current.
For
a man who understands what is going on:
the
events in his life are neither personal nor impersonal;
the
circumstances of his life are not particular to him individually,
and
they are not not
particular;
the
man who has had his eyes opened to the indivisible,
inescapable
reality of the collective current,
makes
no comment -- not to others or to himself -- about what
his life is or is not:
not
engaging in this truly defining feature of being a -- Human,
is
what defines a man who understands what being a creature with consciousness
is.
It
is the man who never talks about being human who is the most human he can
be.
