The simple question, “Can I be reborn anew every moment?" when truly meant opens a can of absolute beingness. Being answers all the boring questions before they are formed by a frightened, conditioned brain. That is the force in the great vitality of a profound question. It is the promise of “Ask and it shall be given you”. You must try it.

 One Question

Whoever you are, read this with eyes of a newborn baby. Do you consider yourself to have  problems to resolve?  List a few. Now, I suggest to you we can address them one at a time and find a possible solution to each one with great difficulty which will probably not work or we can simply  ask ourselves this: 

Do I have, truly, anything unselfish to offer the world as a worthy contribution to goodness?

Mean it. You will never have to seek answers to another question for the rest of your life for you will be far too busy giving of your talents without end to the whole world. You will say “I do not explain myself to anybody”. You just will not feel like having a problem. 

Note: Should you balk at being able to read these words with eyes of a newborn ask instead, and mean it-

Is it possible for me to perceive the world as a new born infant? 

Mean it and you will always perceive with such freshness for the rest of your life. You will just not feel like having a problem.

 I am reading a slogan on a wall in a coffee shop that says

FIND SOMETHING YOU WOULD DIE FOR
   AND LIVE FOR IT!

It reminds me of the greatest lesson I have learned which is that life and death are one. Not separate! One inseparable truth are they. 

Why is that so great to know? It brings freedom from the fear of death. That’s why. Is that why enough for you? If so, you are someone I am watching for to share a real conversation between two living human beings.

To try to live for something rather than to die for it is impossible. Why? Because life and death are one. One who tries it will only live for some ideal slogan on a wall and nothing will change really. Slogans are dead things. That type experience is so fleeting and frustrating. Boys and girls are sent off to wars on the basis of slogans. Many die.

However, if a human being can die to all the ideals that one has stored in memory from all the conditioning of the brain since birth, at once, and we can, life and death go together within that one forevermore. It can be described as the killing of the ego or false self to go on living in freedom and pure action. Study on it. I hope to meet you in a field of love soon as living beings of pure action free of conditioning here and now on Earth. PURITY OF ACTION IS YOUR BIRTH RIGHT.

 A Man Of My Age 

The only thing that matters about being a man of my age is that for a man of my age every day matters. I must make my own way and not miss any chance for happiness that calls to me. To let go absolutely is my way. Writings will write and paintings will paint and sculptures will sculpt and I shall live along side them and love living. I learned recently that although it be considered difficult to live in this world there is the added burden of  having to make it all up as well, but I know the secret. Right now here is where pure action happens.

 PURE ACTION AS WORK

I propose to anyone who works in the field of behavioral adjustment, or who might want to, to consider a very simple fact. It will never work to your satisfaction to take any but pure action. So long as my behavior is not pure but tainted by selfish interest I will make matters worse even with the best of my intentions. What I am telling you is obvious when you take a close look. When I am working to earn money my employer or client will have power over me that must corrupt pure action. If I believe I require the job with its paycheck I enslave myself to the payor. One must be clear that one's work is such that you would do it even if no money were offered.  A prostitute is by definition anyone who does work he or she would not do were money not promised. Whoever is not working solely for the love of the work done is a whore. Such people cannot know freedom.

So, resign and find work you can do with pure action uncorrupted by self interest. You might be too concerned with your perceived need for money to follow this advice. In that case you will continue to accept money for your work and become a problem to be addressed by another paid social worker...probably several. That will become what you will call your life. Interestingly, when I took a job of work I knew I would do for no pay the one who hired me found it impossible to give me orders to the point he ultimately told me "make up your own job and keep me informed so I can intelligently discuss your work". That is freedom!

I do not know what capitalism means. I do not know what politics means. They appear to me as trivial nonsense. Products of imagination. Corrupt from the outset. Have nothing to do with pure action. They are intelligent theories made up by educated professionals concerning a better way to work a pack of slaves in a money driven world. Are formed in an entirely different dimension from a world of pure action. They are beliefs of a conditioned mind that considers it necessary and appropriate to tamper with pure action on the theory there are no humans who are pure and never can there be.  Because it is the product of a confused mind tampering is bound to cause more confusion that further tampering will exacerbate to the point quite familiar at this time to all humans of Planet Earth. 

This is written by someone who practiced law  (a part of the field of behavioral adjustment) in the United States for about twenty years for the purpose of earning money. I would have refused that line of unhappy work immediately had no money been offered me. Eventually the state of confusion I felt became unacceptable to the point I quit. Knowing not what pure action is I had no clue what else I might do for work. Only I knew I could not go on the way I had been living. 

I read a book titled “What Color Is Your Parachute” and found a career counselor who asked me for money to advise me. However, at the same time I was spending several hours a day in the company of folks who offered to help me find happiness for free and because they wanted to (and among those kind folks was my career counselor). They fed my heart and stayed out of my way.  From them I found the courage needed to decide I would follow my own deepest yearning which led me to try working purely for the joy of doing it with no concern for my economic welfare. I refused all pressure to define my work. I would work for the sake of it. And I work harder than ever I did as a lawyer and my work brings good to those I serve. Great Nothing provides all my needs without my tampering and that is the pay for pure action.  And I have no interest in retirement from such joyful pure action!  I have enjoyed my life as never before. I thrive! I travel. I meet many true friends continually. Now, 34 years later, I am confident to tell anyone such a way exists for us all and it works! This is no attempt at personal worship. I receive beautiful signs from the Universe and follow them. That is how I live. It is as if something that expected me to show up at my birth lovingly prepared a party for me and only me. A true friend even dedcided to build for me a car when he saw I was walking or riding a bike everywhere. For this, I call the giver Great Nothing. It teaches me love. 

I have written a play and hope to see it on a stage soon. My play tells that anyone of us who rediscovers life beyond selfish motives makes a contribution to the divine consciousness of a parallel world that is real though it be be totally unknown to the poor, unhappy, selfish slaves. Monetary slaves are abundantly unhappy and must abuse others accordingly. In the parallel world life is all about love and the actors here make it funny.

simpleness and duty tender it”.

 More on Pure Action

Jesus, it is told, was resurrected from the dead. Only Jesus knew. A firefighter has risked his life to save that of a stranger. When interviewed he tells “I only did what anybody would have done”. Neither you nor I can see that take place. We see him take a great risk. Only the firefighter knows his action to be quite natural. A man spits in the face of another. The other simply wipes the spit from his face and tells later that at the moment of the spitting he registered nothing within himself concerning the spitting man. He had nothing to forgive nor anything to avenge. Neither you nor I see that. Only Atticus in To Kill A Mockingbird knew it to be completely natural action. Pure action is from another dimension beyond thought. In athletic competition it is referred to as “the zone”. In that state nothing I do can fail. Pure action is another world here and now open to us all. Find out for yourself. 

 PURE ACTION

What Is It?

The Story of Jesus Is To Me The Story Of Pure Action. It is the story of resurrection from death. Organized Christianity seeks converts on that basis. Jesus died for you. It adds he died for your sins. That has to be a load of guilt for any convert. Suppose we all agree Jesus died. We all will. Next let’s look at resurrection. Rebirth. In some way, Jesus’s story represents when one dies one lives! Many Christians and many non-Christians know that. It is so because death is a pure action. Life is pure action, too. So, life and death, inseparable, have something in common. 

And all who live have life and death in common. All who know that when one dies one lives say life and death are one. It just may be so that all human beings qualify as Christians in this one sense. All must die and death and life are one. I see it this way. 

There is definitely a way to die while the body lives. It is giving up psychologically to this world of personal worship in self-centered action as we are taught to experience it to find another world parallel to the one given up that is far superior.

Truth is not property of any group but belongs to us all without joining up with a chosen bunch. No dues or fees. Pure action is action anonymous. Hey, Action Anonymous, that’s AA, which is the death of personal worship. Sports coaches teach their players to act for the team because that is the way to victory! Life is a team sport. The team is all humanity. Action by a human who feels that way must be pure action as much so as the firefighter who risks his life to save that of a stranger…because the team we belong to without a doubt is humanity as a whole. We were automatically enlisted as a part of that team at birth. 

We can agree that life is pure action. Death is pure action. And action taken by a human that is for the team is pure action. What is not going to be explored here is “how”. How carries with it the corrupt notion that you do not know and drags us back to seeking the best group to join by comparison and measurement. We know how to take pure action. Nobody need train a firefighter how to take pure action. If a child could not learn to walk without being taught by an adult nobody would walk. We crawl. We stand. We walk. Adults who already walk simply feed the child and stay out of the way. That is the way of pure action. Feed each other and stay out of the way.

Sigmund Freud studied the behavior of infants and of adults and concluded that infantile personality is such that the baby believes all its needs will be met as if by magic while the adult personality is such that it knows its needs are going to be dreamed up by its brain and met by its own efforts. He wanted to teach the adult who remains in an infantile manner to grow up and face the facts of life as he ( Freud) saw it. It is becoming clear to humans now that the infant has no personality as yet and simply lives by pure action. It is more wise for the adult to become as a child in that respect, eliminating its adult personality to find resurrection or pure action while alive.
