One day a man long engaged in the GreatStruggle looked upon the ordinary & mused:
“Just think, every morning when they wake up,
they are as conscious as they are going to be all day!”

....and you should realize by now that:
“Looking upon the ordinary” means: Looking at your own ordinary consciousness.
 

“Pa, is he trying to take up for ordinary people, there at the end?”
    “Why I’m not sure son --  but they sure don’t need it, now do they.”
“Ahhhhhhhhh --  well --  what am I supposed to say?.....................”
 
 
 
 
 
 

In one form or the other: all non essential human activity is a neural resistance to one’s hormonal temperament;
what men label as their personality is one part of their brain objecting to
operations in other parts;
in all ordinary humans, the neural activity in the cortex that produces consciousness
is inherently dissatisfied with what the person non consciously is;
this alone is the motivation for religion, the arts, all the life sciences,
the  beverage & drug industries and the GreatStruggle.
 
 
 
 

Ordinary men are driven to look for someone to blame,
or some other reason for their perceived failures and so-called, self loathing,
while a man who has broken through the struggle engages in no such,
in that he can no longer fail  --  not at the one thing of importance to him,
and he has no self left for to loath, (or love for that matter).

The hunger for enlightenment, liberation, awakening is nothing less than
an extreme form of neural objection & resistance to one’s inherent hormonal balance, come controlling temperament.

No normal, sane person is satisfied with what they are internally;
in the few, this has simply been taken to extremes,
...(and the MightyFewChorus sang out: “Praise be!”)
 
 

Even though man is born to change his environment,
no one actually has any personal complaint with physical reality;
‘tis only with his own concocted second reality that he wrangles.

Fact: There are two ways to be dissatisfied.
Real Fact: There is only one  --   and you dreamed it up.
 
 

                   Consciousness is programmed to look for problems,
                   thus do men come to think of being alive as a problem.
 
 

“Pa --  when should I be concerned about paris skies?”
      “When you are under them.”
 
 

 
        ......“Pa?”
                  "Yes?”
              “Are you actually talking about hormones?”
                   “Jeeze! --  you’re developing a suspicious streak.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The trouble with listening to someone else is that
they have already listened to some one else also.

 And the name of the song is: “On and On It Goes” aka:
“Civilization The Beautiful” and sometimes: “My Second Reality ‘Tis of Thee.”

Another distinction between the ordinary and a man with OpenPlainsEyes
is that not only does he not listen to anyone else –
he doesn’t even listen to himself.

......(and the name of his tune is: “On and On It Goes  --  ‘Til It STOPS!”)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A son asked a father:
”Is it the repetitious thinking that gives a man the sensation of having a
stable, permanent self?”
      “No --  it is the unrelenting consistency of his individual hormonal programming which fuels the activity in his brain that men call thinking.”
“Then self is nothing more than a physical liquid?”
       “Are you getting thirsty?...................”
 
 

At a recent conference a paper was presented, entitled:
“Is Insanity Caused By The Particular Things A Man Thinks About --
 Or By Thinking Itself?”

...(You might be interested to know that as soon as the title was announced,
    the conference was canceled.)
 
 

   Where can you turn when there is no where to turn to?
   To the place in your consciousness responsible for such questions,
    ...(well, that is if you are really interested in actually knowing the answer
    to things.......[lots more say they are ‘til they’re brought up close,
                     then it’s suddenly, “Hi yo, Silver and away!”])
 
 
 
 
 
 

Those who say they can't, get-a-handle-on-this  --  may lack the needed fingers;
but if that be true, then why would you be interested in it in the first place?!
A curious quandary.....could it be something else missing?.....
.....perhaps the removal of yourself from City din? --
pulling your promising neurons out from under the hormonal waterfall.

“Pa --  is it literally possible to do that?”
      “Why certainly not, (you little idiot) --  I just said that.”
“For the same reason as always, Pa?”
       “For that very same reason son: to try and keep us both out of DreamWorld.”
 

From one solid perspective: nothing in a universe can be changed by
anything in that universe --  but:
you will never get your hands on the prize unless you relentlessly try --
                        --  acting as though this is not so.
 

If there is one thing more improbable than, man-being-deluded,
it is man becoming un-deluded    --     so  --   there you are.
    If you were natively of a mind to deal only in routine currency,
                you would not be reading this, now would you.
 
 
 
 
 

And speaking of that: a reader just emailed:
“In the space-time continuum: is the body space, and the mind time?”
Outstanding sir, but for today's porpoises replace hormones for space,
and neurons for time;
hormones live in the here and now;
neurons in the sweet by and yore;
being in that natural condition wherein your inherent hormonal activity
totally --   totally oversees your neural
makes you dissatisfied with wherever you find yourself  --  internally;
understanding this gives you a shot at escape from TheCity.
 
 
 

And son inquired of father:
“If I study enough -- and live long enough, will I ever learn anything worthwhile?”
   “Two responses: one is that you’re nuts,
    and the other is: shut up!  --  before your jig is up.”
 
 
 

                      In the world of second reality,
                      if you keep repeating an idea long enough,
                      you will eventually believe it actually means something.

“Pa?”
   “Yes?”
“Was everything just explained?"
