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!

 EXACTINGNESS Never Preaches


Do nothing that is to be done leaving all hunger to the children of my prairies and cities. To whatever is in your mind pay no mind and sit until there is a robin landed on your shoulder three times and ask nobody to go for a walk in the shoes you wear. Shed your tears. Seek for nothing that is to be your heart’s only servant and lord. A green door waits in an orchard where fruit weighs heavy on branches with no wish to produce a baked pie because it is along the last way home that many people believe in pairs and know not who will send them out to pick apples.


Questions of the delivery basket-


Without sin who is among us to judge anybody else?

Is it sinful to bite one’s own finger?

Where is there one who knows the first thing of it all?  

Is the least part of a thing any less the thing than the rest?

If I feel the like of reaching out does it mean you ought to associate me with talkers?

If you judge my frizziness as trouble for you will that pose a threat to energy?

What of matter?


The time has always been now for the doing by living God and nobody can change that for even a half of a second back or forward which had no beginning and has no ending

What say you is different between a waterfall and a cascade?


And The words "Thinking about sinning is sinning" were meant not to convict us all and imprison us in a tricky dogma but to set everyone free of sin totally at once!


Just see if you are better off when you do nothing at all. Have you ever given up something you wanted very much? Do those two have anything in common? Come on. You? 

Thinking outside its limited field of material 

practicality brings only sorrow.

Another way beats it every time.

What allows some power other than your self to act?

Does it mean leaning on something you think to be nothing at  all?

Let it be known that nothing is really something and something really nothing at all.

Get this in your head.

Your brain will thank you.

Even stop its thinking outside its area of usefulness.

You won’t have to do a thing about that.

Action will be instant and clear. 

Call it a pure action that has no thought preceding it.

 Be not concerned about what anyone thinks of you period 

They don’t.
