The
one crucial thing for the full-realization,
and
also the one thing which is almost impossible for thought to grasp is this:
Nothing
matters or means anything
except
what you physically do or physically happens to you.
Nothing
that you ever think means anything –
only
what you do and what happens to you:
what
you think can
some times lead to you doing something,
or
to something happening to you,
but
most most most of the time it does not;
99.97%
of everything you will ever think will amount to nothing,
and
will lead to nothing happening,
but
getting thought itself to face this, approaches the impossible.
This
near absolute reign which thought has over itself is so disorienting that
it
is like having a relative who you know is a crook and not to be trusted,
but
when he visits, his personality is so powerful that he totally overwhelms
you,
and
at the time makes you completely forget his fraudulent nature.
Thought
having no native comprehension of itself -- it constructs fantasies
& fables, peopled with gods & goblins to represent itself and the
incorporeal life it leads
in
an attempt to understand itself,
and
there being no ready counteraction to this -- thought has now forgotten
that
it
is all self created fiction and its original purpose:
an
arrangement that suits well the civilizing of collective man,
but
whose lack of realization gives a few the sensation that they are missing
something,
and
that their facilities for mental perception are not being fully utilized.
The
persistent minority assertion that mankind collectively lives in a state
not
entirely
consistent with reality is not without cause -- but it lacks
accuracy;
men
do not live
in a distorted version of reality -- they think
in one;
a
situation again salubrious to man’s mental ability to plan & execute
alterations of
the
physical world to his improved accommodation,
but
antipodal to this mental facility getting a non distorted view of itself.
Thought
by nature looks through funny-glasses,
so
as to see not simply what is,
but what could be;
this
natural characteristic plays havoc in the heads of a few.
It
is simple:
When
you are home -- you are home,
and
when you are not -- you are not,
but
thought’s permanent presence as your vociferous house guest
makes
the fact most difficult to keep in mind.
When
young and hormones hot --
in
thought do men invent for themselves, a purpose to their life;
when
old, spite takes over.
Not understanding what is going on is mistaking film for something with mass.
