A WHOOPER SWAN'S DIARY: 10/05/22

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!

There is something fresh happening all around us now.

Surprises are everywhere apparent.

These are becoming more and more recognizable as coming out of realizations suddenly that crack open a new human being right where one made of accumulated knowledge stood a moment ago. Many commentators will arise to explain the change in the old way by the old conditioning which no longer applies at all to these new faces. FOR THEM, NOW, EVERY DAY IS FRESH.

An example can be drawn from the college football scene. There is no attempt here to explain that scene nor to limit the discussion to a single arena of human activity. This is happening all over and is likely to grow and grow into God knows what.

Much wealth is involved in college football. Television rights, stadiums, large complexes for training and practicing, rapidly rising salaries for ever-expanding coaching staffs, rapidly evolving economic benefits to make wealthy college football players and much more. But what is intriguing is that enormous switches in players and coaches from team to team accompanied by higher and higher financial payoffs are producing teams that have almost overnight come from obscurity to fame with sudden abilities previously unknown to knock off and discredit teams claimed by experts to be the best of the best.

There is a new drive afoot to buy the coaches who are undeniably bringing some wild new ability from the kids who play the game. These coaches have tapped into something that is real. What can it be?

It may well be that the coaches themselves are surprised and are not certain what they are doing or why it works so well. They come from marginal teams long looked at as losers suddenly blossoming to challenge for championships. It is like time is not even a factor in the matter anymore. And nearly all the teams long held to be winners are seen scrambling like mad to get one or more of these new-type coaches under contract. A bidding war is happening. What do these coaches know? A look to see how many of the coaches of well known college football teams are from Texas Tech, for example, a team that never has been on anybody’s list of dynasties, is hard to explain. That phenomenon at least bears looking into. The change spoken of here is about a lot more than winning games. It concerns more and more so a new breed of human being.

For many thousands of years people on Earth have been conditioned to rely on a form of intelligence that is minuscule when viewed in terms of the vast intelligence all off us were born with naturally. Almost all people walk around with a view of who they are handed to them by others which has taken the place of natural intelligence. It is based on accumulated knowledge born of experiences and then recorded as memory in our brains. It is a very limited brand of intelligence indeed! I am taught to believe I am a composition of the circumstances of my life. I am who I think I am in other words. Not who I actually am. That has been our world for too long to estimate. All recorded history was compounded by this limited intelligence.

The saddest thing is how it cheats a human of its natural intelligence as “all of mankind”. Whatever introduces any of us to a glimpse of the fact I am not what I think I am…I am much, much more than that… obviously makes a big change almost overnight. The quickness factor brings overnight excellence at whatever is undertaken to be done. The new being suddenly acts from that vast native intelligence rather than from a truly-self-walled-in-cage of ideas about how I remember I am.

These new players do things unexpected by their very talented, well trained, hard working competitors. The games take on a whole new ambience. The game is fresh today and each one will continue to be so and the old-fashioned future pros will have to adapt to a new way of seeing themselves or be antiques. This is where the coaching becomes a premium for all teams. How do you out-play a bunch of kids who no longer think you are a bit better than they are, or, for that matter, anybody other than they. A switch psychologically makes a huge difference in not only sports. It is applicable to all aspects of humanity. The United Nations for instance.
