A Glossary Of Terms & Definitions Created & Used By One Man (J.C.)
To Describe Certain Inner Corners Of That Certain Hunger,
Along With Commentaries Corollary Thereto.
__________________________________________________________________________

(Part 5: This series began August 31, and in that it is ongoing, additions to all entries are possible in future installments.
[Words capitalized denotes that they have been previously employed in discussions of the matter.)

A - Z
(Not alphabetically)
______________________________













Agenda: (1) Life has its own agenda, its own schedule of what deserves attention
and energy and it will not change its agenda for you or anyone.
(2) The nervous-system-rebel holds a personal agenda, one steadfast and beyond the effect of circumstances, accidents, or whims;
his schedule ignores how things happened to be when he got here,
and how he happened to be when he appeared here;
in comparison: the agenda of ordinary men’s consciousness is no more than a
Dance Card randomly issued it in The City permitting it to engage in perhaps entertaining, but meaningless moves around their inner ballroom.
To get-to-the-bottom-of-things, the certain man honors no agenda but the one that gradually appears to him as he relentlessly presses on;
no personal agenda –   no personal success.
(3) The achievement of The Aim is always original  –   thus must be your agenda;
it must be uniquely yours, which can only be realized through your constant effort to remember The Aim.

But: This one word adequately describes the entire process of city life
(that is: all the activities in man’s intangible reality);
this conjunction is the primo expression of binary consciousness and its manifestations of ideas; it functions as an unrecognized magic talisman to routine minds allowing them to instantly switch sides in any ideological conflict;
it would be impossible to comprehensively construe man’s normal mental life
without this word.
(The alert man would privately study the question: Why?)

C, D & E Forces: (From the perspective of ordinary human consciousness
in a three dimensional reality): (1) C Force represents energy/activity that appears to be constructive: D Force symbolizes energy & activity that seems to be destructive,
(also in a variation, it can serve simply as a defender of the status quo)
and E Force stands for energy/activity that strikes the mind as being neither of the previous two (being E-relevant, as it were).
As an example: At a specific instance in time: C Force would be the construction crew at a building site; D Force would be those who tore down the previous structure that was there to make room for the new one, and E Force would be everything else
human-driven, occurring on the planet except those two just mentioned activities.
(2) All three forces are present in every event that happens in both the Universe,
and in Life; in the material and intangible realms;
it is not necessary that ordinary men be aware of this and take it into account as their automatic-consciousness makes its constant judgments of mortal affairs,
but for the uncommon individual with that certain-hunger,
an ongoing remembrance of this underlying reality is a must.

The Equation: I + Not-I = Everything.

Straight Line: Nothing goes therein.

Suffering: A personal form of hostility and expression of stupidity:
it is a person effectively announcing: “Things should not be as they are”  –
a total denial  –  in fact, a denunciation   – of Life.

Survival: The art of being able to minimize fear, hesitation, and stagnation.

Straight Line Illusion: The routine mind’s concept of: cause & effect:
the belief that anything can be made to go from here to there;
a sensation without which men would attempt nothing uniquely human;
there would be no civilization, no technology, no religious beliefs.
Ordinary consciousness operates as though everything goes in a straight line,
when the underlying reality is that of omni-direction movement  –
whereby everything affects everything but does not cause it.

Survival With A Flair: Survival as noted above but with the addition of:
the loss of stupid certainty.

Symptom: Everything is symptom; there is no base illness behind the symptoms
that men perceive; the symptoms are it; the beginning and end;
the many so-called human problems men say they seek to cure cannot be cured
since all there is to them are symptoms;
the problems are a symptom of Life’s (and thus, man’s) growth;
ergo nothing can be cured as long as Life is healthy:
if cures (as ordinary consciousness conceives of them) did occur  –  it would kill Life.
The man-who-knows does not concern his self with symptoms,
understanding that he (and mankind) is Life’s most preeminent one.

Talent (Real As Opposed To Routine): Real talent is a personal activity that provides C Force based pleasure and requires no audience.

Talk: (1) That which helps ordinary people remain sane and ordinary.
(2) The purpose of routine talk is to adjust one’s self to the inevitable.
(3) A secret, though public, sex act is what men perform on one another when they normally talk: no one gets pregnant  –  but it is sticky and makes a mess.
(4) The inner rebel discovers how to use talk as a private tool in his struggle to
revamp the working of his consciousness -- after all: words are its primary product,
(or component, whichever view is most useful in any instant context).

Talent (Lack Of): Lack of talent manifests itself in a desire for dominance;
in the external world, politicians are a prime example;
in the internal world, that which dominates your thinking is the prime example.
From the perspective of The Aim: by birth is everyone’s neural kingdom
ruled by one with no talent  –  only the urge to dominate; post partum do the
certain few seek to put a new power on their throne: original thinking  –
this is the supreme Talent.

The Puzzle: Be out to solve it.

Talking Paper (The Magic Of): Though paper is regarded as inanimate  –
it yet talks and alters the molecular structure of one’s nervous system:
the fact is  –  paper is alive; there is nothing that man has made a part of his life
that is not alive: if men are conscious of it  –   it is alive;
it may only be so IN his consciousness  –   but still: it is alive.
Thus for those of ordinary consciousness: religion, nationalism, morality, reputation, defamation, intangible debt, revenge (and a host of other nasties) are all alive;
to the certain man however: they are lifeless and thus meaningless;
words have no magic in his affairs save the ones arranged in original fashion
which happen (through his own private efforts) to have lightened something new
in his understanding.
All told: nothing is magical in the certain man’s life that did not originate in
his consciousness.

Thinking-Of-Action: The Yellow Circuit’s version OF action.
(Or: The Yellow Circuit’s substitution FOR action: this is determined by whether the thoughts involved were C, D or E Force based.)

Understanding (Compared To What The Ordinary Call Knowledge):
(1) Understanding is: Original knowledge;
it is: Ideas that are alive in the moment  –   not in the past,
and in you  –  not in someone else.
(2) Understanding helps you escape the city  --  while knowledge makes you feel
more comfortable being there.
(3) Understanding something changes the way you feel about it
whereas knowledge concerning it, doesn't.
(4) There is no Understanding that is not original with you.
