ENTITLEMENT

Prior to this century, all nations, cities, and all the thousands of institutions that are invented to belong in them were written on paper in ink. Now, these entities are written in cyberspace. Same thing. Both are very vulnerable to erasures. And both are the invention by human hands long, long following the creation of nature to which all living creatures belong. And long after humans were endowed with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And inalienable means rights that cannot be taken away or given. They are stuck too solidly in each human HEART.

These paper nations, cities, and institutions invented as illusions have been forced into the shape of unquestioned human reality by illusory authorities, more inventions on paper, also forged into mental reality for all humans. All this comprises governance by superstition. It is justified by the theory that humans cannot discipline themselves (in other words, are incapable of being human) in the face of facts that tigers have no difficulty being tigers and elephants likewise easily are elephants and bugs are and so on and on. But humans, it is theorized, cannot manage to be human. It is striking to this writer that in this new reality the subject has always been “humanity”. The primary standard for measuring all conduct is “to be humane”. And yet, the system in place requires us to be obedient to a teacher a sheriff a judge a pool of lawmakers a king or president a priest or elder of an organized religion and a boss invented also on paper by…those human hands! Query: if I am incapable, on my own, to be humane what makes the system think all these invented authorities, also only human, will make me so? The scandals say it is otherwise. 

And, get this, the founders of nations and religions all admitted openly and profoundly that it is otherwise. All professed a belief that some power in every human makes it possible for any human to be expected to live in humane harmony according to the nature of humanity in order to justify authorities’ use of violent force against their fellows. Usually the authorities take an oath upon entering office to act under the influence of such an existent power which created them to be human. There exist humans who, knowing with clarity themselves this truth, live in that precise way daily. Such people are lovers of life. As in poker, why not call the hands of all these authorities at once with one voice and walk away from their table? Then the authorities must fold ‘em for lack of an audience. The ace up their sleeve is revealed hypocrisy. We must all then be ashamed and lock arms as one in a new peace.

 REALITY

So many scriptures, so many poems, 

so many songs, so many eloquently spoken speeches have summed up the human situation as “it may be terrible now but one day a Mighty Force will intervene on behalf of all who suffer and bring down the forces of evil in a ghastly explosion of fiery retribution and they will know how awful they have been to the good ones just before they are swallowed up forever. 

That message, as old as it is, has the ears of the self-made righteous in a way that it actually keeps the horror show moving onward with all its unfulfilled promises. Call it the message of “someday”. 

Take note that the message of “someday” always depends on a solid belief in the “righteous” and the “evil forces” who oppose one another. That reality is an invention of the thinking minds of human beings. Words divide. The result of this type of reality in a mind is Hell on Earth. We know it well. It is where those live who are hoping for a “someday”. Can I love my enemies?

Have you noticed the fact that all organized religions are a bundle of promises that never come true? Their focus is always “out there”. Another term for “forces of evil” would be  “the out there  bunches”. Hell, every person who lives on greed is a religious freak for “out there is going to be enough”. Do not jump to defend something. Pause. Pay attention to what you know. 

Try to see that every time someone is hurt psychologically the concept of “good people and bad people” instantly emerges. The thought is supposed to make the injury go away or at least to diminish in intensity. The real truth is the injury will remain to plague its owner for as long as he lives unless the injured party can discover there is another reality. Life in a divided world is Hell. It has to be. Let us  turn to that other reality now.

Another reality. It is this: Heaven is here and it is now. In that case, my only difficulty is that I am ignorant of its presence. My ignorance is the cause of my my belief that some other human being has the power to injure me psychologically. My problem is that I do not know myself completely. I think of myself in the way I was taught to do it. I am my image of myself, in other words. I imagine I am what I think others think I am. In that state I am controllable by flattery and by insult to my image. I can see now how long I have been vulnerable in this way and how often I have been controlled by the opinions of others. I also see that the very concepts of “good” people and “bad  people” are based on my vulnerability to all those “opinions”. I see now that I have been conditioned to substitute a fake world in the place of the real one. The fake one is the invention of thoughts. Obviously, the real one was not invented by human thought. 

Can I change? Do not ask “how?” That would only be the fake world’s conditioned response. We are in need of creativity, not invention of another fake world. Creativity arises in immediate perception. Is that not obvious? Ye are gods having nothing to do except enjoy Heaven in communion with all you meet. I once became angry enough to  want to kill a little old lady for driving too slowly and it turned out that her slowing me down caused me to make a stop I had intended but had failed to make for months on a matter very important to me! Kindness abounds.

 HELPFUL WORDS

I would like to be helpful. There is a big problem on Earth. It has brought uncountable troubles to people. The problem is thinking and its misuse. One can use thinking to make a handle that turns on cold water and another that turns on hot water. That is mechanical and helpful. Humans are living organisms, not mechanical.

However, we have all been trained to use thinking in place of immediate perception and to analyze our way to wished-for truth concerning human lives. Truth is never found that way and, moreover, analysis has disastrous side effects mostly undetected by the analyst who stubbornly continues in the direction of analysis, but tries harder! More troubles pile up. Inevitably, life becomes difficult and finally unbearable. The analyst dies in deep regret. 

What happened to immediate perception? Minds abused in analysis become tired, overcrowded constantly chattering in more and more confusing conflict. Laws are made by teams of confused analysts bickering. Living people are expected to fall in line with such laws. The jury trial we are so proud of depends on arguments presented through the authority of counsel and a judge well considered by a jury of analysts leading to truth. Bullshit! You must see that analysis is divisive. When one divides, psychologically, it is most destructive. Analysis invented authority and authority relies upon more analysis. They are a team of trouble makers seemingly so rooted in people as to be unstoppable. Courtroom counselors purposefully divide the jury panel psychologically. Analysis leads to invention (like the hot and cold water handles) while immediate perception leads to creativity. Invention and creativity are poles apart. Life is creative. 

Modern writers are published because they tell of people struggling inside an insane world of analysis and feed the disease. People identify with the stories they tell and assume the writer to be a genius. Ha! Libraries and museums as we know them, not the bombs, have to go. They tell warped lies ALWAYS MADE FROM PARTIAL GLIMPSES OF THE TOTAL PICTURE that keep us divided. They are not after truth. Not at all. They bring the bombs!

A favorite Biblical story from childhood is the one where Solomon the wise King was presented with an argument between two women each claiming to be the mother of the same child. In the story, Solomon surprises everyone by pronouncing that he will simply cut the child in half and give one half to each woman. Such as that is an example of immediate perception. One of the women revealed her love for the child by surrendering her claim entirely to save the baby. For Solomon to make such a pronouncement as he did required a still mind not tangled and spent in the process of analysis. Immediate perception is also called intuition and faith. And we so badly need its power. Jesus asked listeners to consider the lilies. They neither toil nor spin and yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one lily. Search it out in you. Humans have such untapped capability for living the good life for which all yearn. Each one is called on to find it inside for the reason that inside each one is the whole, complete consciousness of humanity. I am you and you are me and we are everybody!

LEARNING

Let us speak of school. The key to understanding school as educational for its students is the fact every school acts from its purpose. That is what is key.

An institution has more than one purpose. There is its purpose written in words. Words are divisive. That means anything that is not within its written purpose is separate from it and apart from it. The school is divided from the start. Some will interpret the words of its purpose this way while others will interpret the meaning another way. A school is divided against itself from the outset. So, what education is to come from it? It must be limited. What the cost to the student of a limited education?

Suppose a school where there are no teachers only students. Suppose in this school students decide what they are to learn and with whom? Suppose the only rule of this school is: there are to be no rules? 

Second, every institution has a written purpose and an actual purpose. The actual purpose is what controls its activities. The actual purpose is shared by the “authorities” of the school. They make its decisions. They speak often behind closed doors concerning this actual purpose. In fact, any teacher hired has to first convince the current authorities of the school that the actual purpose will not be threatened in any manner. This fact controls the interview process and its outcome. New teachers are aware that their answers in the interview process will decide the outcome so answer accordingly. What is the nature of an education to be dispensed by such dishonest teachers? Little wonder the new teacher’s purpose to educate is forgotten and becomes “a way to earn money for me and mine”. And a follow-up, “life is that way”

Any parent who loves his child will cry at the prospect of sending that innocent to school. Parents have to dig for an escape to live with in “we have no other choice”.

Ask yourself, honestly, why would anyone require children to attend a school? Why do human beings not live in a way that welcomes children to life certain all will get their unlimited education from life itself which is not determined under the countless, well hidden limitations of human authority? 

How many of you believe that what is written here represents “wild, chaotic

undisciplined anarchy? That is because you have no knowledge of who you and others are and no faith in life and no actual understanding of your own nature when set free. It is unknown to you. The meaning of “discipline” comes from “disciple” and is “one who learns”. Really learns. There is such a much better way.

 WHAT ABOUT THE DEVIL?

There is a thing that all humans speak of from time to time. It’s about a devil and a blues singer might refer to it as “by my side”. Always hangin’ ‘round. Lucky people know it’s a friend, a constant warning: be diggin’ deeper into what is good or I gonna drag you into a mess

won’t be easy to fight your way out from. Without that friend most of us would get lazy and skip on the good stuff. The devil got a tough job where he is hated and despised and seldom gets credit for what he do for a man or woman. But the Devil be loyal and do his job well.

 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!

 BLESSED ARE THE APPALLED

It is so appalling when you realize Mommy and Daddy and all their cohorts have scientifically led you using the name of love into a safe place to build a fine cage and then enticed you inside and now the lock is closed on you and the feed trough is full and the water dish is directly below the tiny mirror to admire your self in awaiting your pure bred love bird to come for you and fertilize them eggs. You are now a performing pet with absolutely nothing your own; not even any of the empty illusions. Well, look, there is the important fact; that when you got nuthin’ ya got nuthin’ left to lose and are out of the game. Death can wait. Life is complete still untouched. All cohorts will shout, “get back in the game” but you are no longer that dumb.
