The Loose Wire: (1) A part of the certain man’s nervous system that is not
permanently soldered into place as part of their public persona;
whereas every other wire (or electrochemical circuit) is fixed and predictable in its activity, The Loose Wire in the few is the place in their brain where a bit of energy appears that has not been spent on supporting their natural inner structure, temperament and mind’s way of thinking;
it is energy potential not yet channeled into a specific outlet;
it is a site where Life itself is attempting to expand through you
(more precisely): through your consciousness.
It manifests itself from your view as you wanting to outgrow you.
(2) The Loose Wire is an evolutionary bridge between what Life is and what it will be.
(3) It is the one area of the nervous system capable of not being overwhelmed
and dominated by automatic-consciousness’ sense of “I”.
(4) It is the means whereby the certain man can move C Force energy into
higher areas of his nervous system (and thus be freed from the Bad News Syndrome).
(5) The Loose Wire is the special inner ears by which The Few are able to hear
The Aim speak.

The Look Method: If you want to know what is going on with Life  –   look.

Maps: (1) Two dimensional descriptions of a three dimensional reality.
(2) A travel guide, a verbal pointing: they are not the destination, nor a substitute for
the actual journey.
(3) The special maps of the inner explorer are all temporary, ever-changing, ever-evolving, ever-unfinished, and ultimately disposable
(though only the-man-who-knows  –   knows when to toss them.
[Hint: the when is: when words begin to choke you.])

Magic:The Straight Line Phenomenon: it can’t happen  –  that’s why it’s magic.

Mechanical: (1) That which is mechanical is that which is ordinary,
in Life, in the Universe and in man’s consciousness;
at no routine level is the non mechanical expected or acceptable;
in life’s everyday affairs there is no room for willful action or change;
under normal conditions, man does nothing: everything is done through him;
he functions as a cog in a vivas machina (a living machine).
(2) To be-mechanical is to be yourself; to feel about things as per your
temperament feels; to describe matters in your head as per your head’s unplanned descriptions thereof.
(3) To be-mechanical is to be one of Life’s good foot soldiers;
to do the minimum   --  and get paid the minimum.
(4) To be-mechanical in your invisible life is to take the comfortable,
dreamy approach to life.

Lying: Any comment on what has happened to you.

Me: (1) Behind men’s constant verbal reference to their “I” (which produces in no one a solid sense of certainty and satisfaction) lurks a subtle sensation of there being some sort of actual “me”  –  in fact, two me’s: a real me and a sham me (which is what appears as the “I”) and without any analyzation or understanding, ordinary men feel that the real me is the good me and should be dominating the false, bad me  --
and then feel guilty that it does not.
(2) As expediently used here: the real Me represents the un activated potential in the few as symbolized by The Loose Wire;
you can certainly coast through your sixty odd years living on the mechanical energy of your natural born genetic self, temperament and style of so-called thinking
(your fake Me; your public “I”) or you can turn your consciousness’ attention away therefrom, thus depriving it of AMv12 and weakening its effect (particularly on your higher Circuits) thus making available the energy needed to awaken you from man’s special form of waking-sleep that would otherwise not be there,
that would be otherwise spent in support of the imaginary “I” your consciousness perceives to be you acting out its role in the collective inner dream that constitutes the unique intangible realm that defines the singular character of man.
(3) The special investigator who is fully on the case does not operate as a verbally expressed “I”  –   but always as a non speaking Me.

Nouns: (1) An operation by automatic-consciousness whereby the heart of reality
(the process of Life) is constructed to consist of fixed parts; it sees individual people and objects as being of paramount importance (compared to what they do) which with objects fits well as witnessed by man’s technology, but consciousness employing this position when it looks at matters in man’s intangible, cultural/spiritual/artistic/intellectual realm results in no similar practical benefits
(not if your goal is to personally understand what is going on with Life).
(2) To the person pursuing The Aim: nouns do not meaningfully exist:
everything significant is a verb; Life itself is a process  –  not a thing.
If it is alive  –   it is a verb, not a noun.
Anyone going after the goods already has enough nouns;
what you need do is transform them into verbs (that is):
activate your information: turn lifeless Knowledge into Understanding
and the machinery to do the job is: Original Thinking.

Pride Vs Vanity: The difference between them is that one involves spectators.

Inner Expansion: (1) The activation of one’s intangible possibilities.
The nervous-system-rebel may as well picture himself as being born with a wiring system so unusually loose that he could have potentially turned out to be almost anybody; it seems that by the age of majority (as far as others were concerned) he had assumed a more or less specifically identifiable persona, but he always felt otherwise: as though something quite significant, but unknown, had been left undone.
Such a person can have no dark side of the moon; there can be no part of their nervous system of which they are less than fully cognizant; there can be nothing
about their consciousness of Life that is foreign to them.
(2) Inner Expansion establishes at the very least a communication between what one’s thinking would normally accept and reject: thus is such a person never shocked,  disappointed or annoyed by Life.
(3) By Inner Expansion one swallows the plus (+) sign in The Equation:
I + Not-I = Everything;
after that, one consumes the Not-I  –  then floats in the E-relevant Flow.
(4) Inner Expansion is the taking full advantage of the Loose Wire.

Words: (1) The only force in the Universe with the potential to overwhelm reality,
but since they are an integral part of man’s perceived reality, no harm done,
not to collective humanity;
for the uncommon individual with The Aim, the story is different.
(2) The consciousness of a man-in-the-know knows to manhandle words,
