Some things are more important than others. One important thing is this- 

Whenever you speak to a tree and say something like, “hello, I am So-and-So and who are you?” the tree utters nothing as a response to your question. Have you noticed that? You told the tree your name and the tree ignored you. You may say then “I am a person” and ask “Who are you?” Still there is no response from the tree. You probably do not notice these things, do you? And yet the truth is these are among the very most important things that I mentioned earlier. I tell you this to inform you that you are ignorant of the important things and you are an absolute slave to things that matter not at all. The writer is trying to assist you to find out why it is you have so many troubles in life as you know it. What is written here is given you to show you that you need to make a profound change and make it soon.

You are some being that is filled with explanations all of which are so very limited and are therefore untrue. They are then trivial and yet to you they really matter most of all…they are how you think. You are what you think you are, see? You are your consciousness. That is another way to put it. And if you were really familiar with what that is filled with you would surely be frightened to death.

Have you ever looked at a tree, for example, with no words concerning a tree on your mind between you and that tree, I mean? Until you do you will not see the awesome beauty of a tree. That also goes for your children and wife or husband and everything else. That consciousness we mentioned acts like a veil preventing clear observation. Absent clarity your brain is handicapped. Your best thinking is not available to you. You will constantly be making poor conclusions and acting in a corrupt manner. Herein lies your life as you know it. All your messes are of your own doing. You are totally responsible and act completely irresponsibly. See your dilemma? 

When you leave this page will you ask someone, “How can I become more responsible in my life?” Will you agree with what you have read and make it a point to improve yourself? Improve your world? That is your consciousness speaking. Remember what that is? This has been your response always up to now every time you hear a  lecture or sermon or read a book that moves you to change. You live by words! You must find the courage to stop it! A wise man told that his secret is “I do  not mind what happens”. That means, of course, he does not throw a cloud of words at facts and stir up uncertainty and fear. All links are in operation for the wise ones.

I met a young woman once who was on her way to pick up a diploma from a major University after maintaining a 4-point average for all four years of study. She had made only A’s. As we talked she listed a number of conflicts in her thinking and told me she had many worries about her future and felt inadequate for a good life. I suggested to her that she go over to a bench in front of tree nearby us and sit quietly for awhile to allow the tree an opportunity to tell her something important and report back to me what the tree said. She left me and I departed for home and wondered if she would actually try the experiment. Next day she and I arrived at the same place again and she was so delighted to see me. She was anxious to tell what the tree told her. The tree, she said, was silent at first and then told her “Stop taking yourself so seriously”. Later, she told me, “I have learned from you more in a short while than I learned in four years at that University”. What I had done was to spend a brief time looking at her with no veil of words between us to prevent my seeing her as she is and she took that experience to the tree I pointed out. 

There happen to be more links in your brain than there are atoms in the Universe. And you use so little of it for anything important in most cases. You tell your name and how it is you make money for yourself. All of it amounts to the same profession…prostitution. A prostitute is anyone who does for money what they would not do if the money were not offered. So, whores assemble often to talk about stupid shit and tell jokes while Rome burns.
