A WHOOPER SWAN'S DIARY: 05/28/21

THE STORY OF JOHNNY WHOOPER SWAN We go to school trusting our parents. We meet a teacher there who stands up front with a big desk, and a pointer. She or he trains us in an authoritative manner. We attach mentally to a life long need for authority in order to live lives successfully. Right so far? In my case, at the age of 25 I was ready to enter the practice of law where I hoped for success and a happy life finally. Very shortly, very shortly, I became anxious. There was a foreboding. I was made more uncomfortable with each experience. Law work is nothing like what I was told it would be. The system is corrupt. But I still cling to my expectation that career success is necessary to my happiness as a man. Each day my grasp of what the fuck success amounts to after all becomes more clouded, murkier. I hear songs on the airwaves and at concerts which describe my life as the life of a fool. What am I becoming? I want to rip off my business suit to run naked in the street with my hair on fire! But I am too afraid. In strange, weird (weird comes from a word meaning wise), fragmented steps I go about a journey of my own believing myself to be the first man to have failed in such a total way which journey works so as to break up my career, end a marriage, and start an entirely new way of relating with my two children whom I love deeply. Almost magically I meet a woman who is a career counselor who asserts a beautiful message that I am made to be joyful in my work everyday and at all levels. This understanding sets me on a completely new course. It is no longer a world of systems to me but an undivided one of unlimited beauty. It reminds me of a painting. A true masterpiece. I am drawn from within to learn the truth about my identity and nobody else can teach me that. From this point onward I will use thinking capacity for mastering mechanical processes and follow my heart, which includes my whole nature, which includes your whole nature and that of every human being for all the rest. I’ll go by the name Johnny Whooper Swan who does not explain itself to anyone. By my fruits shall I be known. Watch me soar!

No Authority

No authority is perfect order. I have examined into this and found it to be so. Whenever I, inwardly, accept no authority from outside everybody else treats me automatically as a friend. Authority is an agreed upon view of how things ought to be, but they are not. Where you find things to be as they ought to be there you will find no authority for there would be no purpose for authority to serve. No crime no police. Where you find authority you find corruption. It must be so. I ought to know. Any who accept authority as a way of life create corruption and then complain of it. This is all so foolish and silly and leads to feelings of insecurity and acquisition of weapons to be used against human beings who are seen as threats to my welfare.

Any who refuse to accept authority are deciding to live each day as it comes rather than to think how they want it to be. In this way alone can it be discovered what is a life. Note: I am not talking about rejection of or opposition to authority, that’s silly too, but the clear decision to cease to look outside of yourself for your needs. Example: a baby does not think “I’ll get mother to feed me” baby cries. Live in your footsteps before you go underground. Each one is either learning to live or learning to die. It is an important distinction to make.

People of faith think and behave as one. Only nations and tribes make war. Do you see this to be so?

You have been told that refusal to accept authority will bring disorder. Actually, acceptance of authority brings disorder…..I shall never look to corrupt governments and greedy businesses to save me…or even to help me. I am no fool. You see, order is a state of mind that is given not driven. It is not some idea for you to believe. Find out for yourself. Let truth and beauty seep down in your soul and then you will know life.
