When
you understand what's going on it’s surprising the amount of what men call
crap you can easily ignore.
Your
being alive is Life's
attempt to change.
Query:
Why, in their own best self-interest, do not men consistently praise those
with
whom they have a significant relationship?
Answer:
Because their consciousness lives in a fog of self-delusion regarding their
own importance.
“Being
alive is your key to change.”
“Aw, I knew that.,”
“I’m
sure you did, but men never think about it until they’re dead
--
if
then.,”
Without
log-rolling men could not survive life on the frontier of their second
reality.
All
worry comes from collective thinking;
as
long as you are thinking what everyone else is thinking, you will be worried.
Man’s
connection to second reality is verbal --
compared to actual.
From
self-reference springs all psychological fears.
The
nervous-system-rebel is not what he is merely for the sake of rebellion
--
but
even if he were – so what.
The
certain-man eschews all conventional wisdom simply on the basis that
it
comes from man’s collective thinking.
Self-reference
is neurons' attempt to share the spotlight with hormones.
All
points of view and opinions are merely individual shares of collective
thinking.
Only
guess work interests an ordinary mind.
The
man trying to crack-the-case has got to think in a way that is not self-referential;
the
thought needed for this job cannot be held down by the gravity of the collective
variety.
All
that ordinary men know of things intangible is stuff they have made up
–
a
fact of which they are not conscious.
Off
The Inner Autobahn.
The
rebel’s form of anything is always stripped down and jacked up.
In
the city, in order to be any kind of guy you have to say what
kind of guy you are;
to
be awake doesn’t require you say anything.
(“You’re being funny, right!?”)
The
impact men say they experience from historical events is always after-the-fact
because the experience is collective and not individual;
only
the individual lives in the now and enjoys the full benefits of its impact.
People
call for caviar – but will settle for peanuts.
To
think individually and creatively is to be forging ahead;
collective
thinking is always stuck where it is.
The
only things the certain-man needs to know is stuff he has knowingly made
up.
All
ordinary dreams of an improved life are but a further feeding of second
reality nightmares.
For
the neural rebel: where you are is where you think you are;
only
the nervous-system-explorer can identify his universe;
ordinary
men at best can name their neighborhood (or culture).
Everyone
is driven to stay part of the pack – and complain about it;
only
he who knows-what’s-going-on can be happy to be free.
To
be an expert in second reality affairs you have to ignore the obvious.
The
more you pursue ancillary sources the further you stray from the original
and
creative – and thus feel forever lost inside.
The
more you understand – the less impressed you are.
Concern
over whether what happens to you in life is preordained or not is a thorough
waste of time, but the fact that your thoughts & feelings in reaction
thereto ARE! --
should
keep you awake at night.
The
more you understand – the less impressed you are.
“With what in particular, may I ask?”
Yourself,
for one thing.
If
the certain-man does speak he tries to be as direct, brief, yet as eloquent
as
is possible.
Those
who say: “We will have another, better life after death,” are those who
feel
they
cannot get life right this time around.
(“Pa pa: how do you know if you got-it-right?”
“Nobody
knows.”
“But those aligned with spiritual causes all say they have a way to
make such a judgment.”
“Of
that I’m aware – but I answered your question.”)
In
that man’s consciousness is primed to perceive a binary based reality,
trying
to awaken could be called The Third
Approach; forever seeking to see possibilities
beyond the obvious & immediate either/or set-up
that
your automatic thinking continually trots out.
Anything
that causes intangible anguish, no matter how cloaked in spiritual terms,
is
garbage from a junk food restaurant.
In
regards to man’s cultural/spiritual second-reality: how can thought, the
source of the reality, which arranged everything in it, now not be able
to describe or understand how things there are arranged?
Forget
about the so-called Classical
metaphysical conundrums, this is
the one question that men with normal consciousness cannot confront; their
mental processes are literally not programmed to allow them to even look
into the matter,
much
less tolerate the info that could arise there from.
Only
a man who personally sees how things are arranged can describe how
things
are arranged (but that does not necessarily mean you will be able to hear
it).
What
men refer to as information is equivalent to food,
and
Life
grows through man’s ever expanding ability to accept & process new
food;
just
what the nervous-system-rebel should be doing for his self individually.
When
ordinary people pursue the interests natural to them, they are but seeking
their routine nourishment, with little concern for any actual new food;
thus at best:
red
circuit men will seek out only new sports; yellow circuit men, new books,
and
blue circuit men, new artistic fads and ways to suffer, and soon all still-open
synapses are connected to the old, established neural network of recycled
thoughts --
and low level boredom settles back in.
If
you do not personally keep yourself fresh, inner stagnation is your way
of life
and
not to be unduly depressing, but the older you get, the worse it gets,
until
you may at least get over religion in that you become so blasé and
bitter
that
you hope there IS no life after this one.
You
miss a sight full if you do not allow yourself to see how Life
has arranged things so that within the world of human consciousness (its
best work & hope for the future) there is space for every possibility
that consciousness can conceive of,
no
matter how preposterous or outrageous, no matter how upbeat or discouraging;
men
do not write the wide ranging array of novels on the shelves –
their
consciousness lives them.
How
strangely satisfying it is to ordinary men to voice opposition to the new,
and
how fresh and surprising it is to be an outlet for it.
Die
with your old comfortable boots on, or go out running down the road out
of town, barefooted.
What
ordinary men call rebellion is moving the bed in their cell from where
the authorities had placed it.
Though
humanity collectively continues to grow, individuals are programmed for
stagnation --
particularly, inner.
Any
who doubt the power of the past, consider this: Why are all of those who
human history lauds as great
always dead?
Anything
that man’s mind is driven to say exists, exists, and this includes things
about which there may be wide spread dispute regarding their existence,
but this debate is part OF their existence.
There
is the allure of the new; the grip of the familiar, and everything else,
and
that’s where the secret lies, in everything else – The
Third Approach.
(If,
just for fun, the certain-man had a motto it could be this:
“If
it’s binary – it’s bad”
– or if that sounds a bit moralistic:
“If
it’s binary – it’s bullshit.”)
When
someone from another world heard an earthly poet say that he:
“Feels
with ten fingers and one heart,” he thought: “How strange:
I
feel with one finger and ten hearts.” Now that my friends,
is diversification!
To
awaken you must be both slower and faster (you figure
it out).
