Mini Hint For Those Still In The Dark:
Preference may be the light switch.Maxi Hint For Those Still Confused:
The inner commentary is, for sure!
Today's Limited Health News:
You get ill in public, but only well in private.One stranger had this teaching to offer:
"Open the door wide and let everybody in and you will be enlightened.
...You might as well assume this position since the door's already open and
you can never close it."Mini Maxim:
Being "more conscious" is making the absolute most of what you have.
(Is it not?)
There was once a man involved in activity such as this who one day thought,
"If I was actually as awake as I talk, I'd be awake!"
Then after a moment further mused, "What if I am, and just haven't been
aware of it? -- it's not impossible."
(I think we should leave this story right there.)A certain mystic, after being long badgered to put to paper what he
understood, finally agreed, and to what he wrote, gave the title:
"That Continuing Offensive Activity."A mystic one day said to some listeners of like interests, "Once change has occurred in you,
you must finally be cold and direct enough to take charge yourself and change-the-change,
that is, to go ahead and live as though the change has had its fullest possible effect on you."
And after his having said this, someone asked, "How can you tell that such a time has
finally arrived for you?"
And the mystic replied, "If you feel the need to ask, the time has come."A man came to hear the words of a renowned mystic, only to be told that he'd just died.
And as he stood beside the still body of the wise one he asked a mourner,
"What did he say when was alive?"
And suddenly the mystic raised up and replied, "Too much."
One guy says he sometimes wonders if an enlightened man is just an everyday kinda
person who at one time believed himself otherwise, and after a great deal of effort,
realized the truth.
(He says the only reason this disturbs him is as applies to himself.)
Conversation Overheard Between Two Would-Be Mystics:"It can't be as simple as it sounds -- nothing's that simple."
"What d'ya mean, nothing's that simple, hell, everything's that simple."
[Pause.]
"Well, hell, if everything's that simple, you realize what that means about
what we've been trying to do?"
[Pause.]
"Ah, damn!"
The End
