A WHOOPER SWAN'S DIARY: 08/02/23

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!

INSANE WORLD

People think of themselves as individuals. Now, there is a real paradox in this situation. The actual meaning of the word “individual” is “not dividable”. In practice it means “separate”. Now, even more crazy is it to figure why a king or a chief would arise among a group of people who have been conditioned to think themselves a separate from the rest. Why do not they go their way and laugh at the chief? As one human to another I say it is because the reason for the indoctrination into a belief “I am on my own” was to place the blame for madness on the citizen as opposed to the chief. IT IS DEFINITELY SO THAT THE PEOPLE WHO GO THEIR OWN WAY ARE THOSE WHO MAKE NO CHOICES. THEY HAPPEN.

If you are told that the world is insane for the reason that humans learned to think of themselves as separate individuals would you say that is clear to you? If not, would you investigate for yourself as a human being whether it is so or not so? It probably will not be easy but it can be done. When you are ready begin. It is obviously important to find out why the world is insane.

The writer watched a film recently concerning a family after divorce with a child involved. The father was an ambitious lawyer. The story will not be retold here for this purpose but the film ends with the child’s suicide and both parents in great agony trying to go on living feeling they are to blame and how they might have been better parents so as to have saved the child who is now seen as a brilliant human being who could have done wonderful things to make the world a better place for us all. The film itself leaves us with “you must go on” and maybe a hope to do “better” without changing the approach psychologically.

I mention the film to stress the necessity for a search for what to do in an insane world. Perhaps you have a better idea but what I offer is to begin a search for what makes the world insane. It is suggested it might be wise to cease thinking as an individual. Is it so that I am separate from everybody else? If it is a fact I am inseparable from the whole of humanity “can I change my mind?” is the next question.

I studied the life of Jesus in my early years. I think he was stressing this same approach using as practical tools the teachings from the Jewish religion prevalent at the time with which his listeners were very familiar. He taught, for example, love your enemy and do not fret over what am ”I “ going to eat instead of what are “we” going to eat? It is stressed here that if my mind changes itself, I have a new brain with which to make all things new in a sane world. One with a passion to learn can gain an awful lot of proof that such a bold statement is a fact. That is what was meant by a change psychologically.

Notice we have the same “rat” in the kitchen whenever we join a system that has a reason to lie to us about things such as an “afterlife” in order to maintain its position of authority over us. This work must be done alone to be pure. See how it is that alone you are the whole of humanity, not separate, and breathe easy as you go.

Look into this one. A person who thinks individually will make a decision to work on an assembly line for low wages for a number of years to eat and hope in a few years to find a better deal for him and his family. In this way an artist becomes a crank turner under sentence of an unknown number of years with no understanding of what is the cost to his overall human capacities. What is to take place with the family during the time of that sentence? Many books and movies are made about that. Should he ever come out from that self imposed prison what will dad be like then?

So, we want to know what would have been had dad made no decisions as an individual with a separate family. We do not know. It is unknown. Can we discover the unknown? Is our fear of the unknown tied to individual thinking? You bet it is. What if dad would have made a car he could give to everybody that would require no fossil fuel and last a lifetime?

What if you were told every child born has a fortune that will last for its entire life that is made of a kind of wealth unknown to individual thinkers which no power on Earth can corrupt, reduce, injure or destroy? How do you know it is not so? To save your life find out!
