Learn about a beauty without object…a state of mind and its absolute freedom and peace. Such beauty is not personal. When it is the priority of one’s life, the moment eternal, there is an intelligence far beyond that otherwise thought to be intelligence. In that state, what you perceive is not loved and admired by you personally for its beauty, rather it is beautiful because you love it. With personal beauty there will always arise desire to possess the object of beauty while in the state of beauty without object desire never emerges. All that is beheld is beautiful. Can you feel the difference? Speaking of a power to transform, in that state of beauty without object, being is able to make everything beautiful merely looking through the eyes of a god.

 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.   

 

WHY NOT?

Suppose there is one all-inclusive human consciousness. See that the personality of any human is contrived when thinking invades a space or dimension where it is incompetent to go. Now. Suppose consciousness composes a piece of music and that work is credited to a personality with a name agreed upon within a society of personalities. Such a thing is common as a cold in our world today. 

What happens when all of a sudden consciousness, the actual author of the piece, reclaims it and plays it through hands of a new, previously unheard of player? Yeah. That’s right. We call it genius. Many personalities are greatly affected by this and thrown into a state of shock. A whole new thing is labeled and many try now to copy the genius. Books are written. Records are broken. But the world stays the same or grows worse. 

Now. What if that were the norm? That is, what if all people expressed exclusively through an all inclusive human consciousness never letting a personality bound up in thought and time take the credit? In that world everybody would be of equal value and there will be no leading roles. Can you conceive of living in that world? Why not? It is so that no personality can make that happen since personalities are mischievous fakes but any ol’ “nobody special” can start to dance thataway. 

What has anybody in this corrupt world got to lose by trying? The important thing to know before trying is that it will require absolute emptiness of any purpose to enter the all inclusive consciousness of humanity as a whole. Trying to do it in order to achieve anything for the personality is no change at all. Whoever knows he has no purpose has one. 

It ought be added here that when anybody dares to begin there will be such an explosion of passion and love all over the world everyone will be amazed and ways will be opened never dreamed possible and heads will spin and hearts will rejoice. All will see open windows which were not there a moment ago and so much greater an intelligence will prevail.

 What’s going on?

Two eyes look into two open hands, saying to nobody, “This body is here.” To that can be added, “and this body is a living thing.” The same is true for every other living human being.  We can agree on this much: two bodies, both alive. Wait a minute. This body that is living thinks! By thinking it is writing this down. Thinking calls itself “I” and it thinks it exists. It says “I am”. But, is it so that just because the living body thinks there is a thinker there is one? Or, has thinking done that trick, has imagined for itself a thinker. In other words, a part of thinking is its imagined thinker. A thinker is not over there separate from thinking, is it? Golly! I see that thinking has been giving itself imaginary powers and then awarding itself for imaginary accomplishments. That rascal! What is going on? 

What is a mind? What is consciousness? Hmmm. Consciousness is a word. Is it also a fact? Was consciousness before thinking? Did it exist before the word? Can a living body be conscious without thoughts or words? Hey, perhaps we are now able to see the scripture “In the beginning was the word” in a new light. It really points out that before any language was the thing the words are trying to capture for use in thinking but it is so very, very, very important to never lose sight of the fact there was a fact before the word came to name it or…we go nuts. Ladies and gentlemen, few, if any, human is unaware of the fact that the human race is “nuts”. We are onto something here. Pay attention.

Is consciousness all inclusive? What is going on? I just suggested to myself that what is called consciousness is, as a fact, all inclusive and common to all human beings and existed before the “word”. What we call “my consciousness” is “your consciousness” as well and everybody else’s too. Actually, is this stuff even important to think about? Looks like it is thought about when a human loses it by coming to think the “word” is the “thing” it defines and comes to believe his consciousness is uniquely “his”. 

Does this mean when Freud decided he would study crazy people he was really motivated to study his own craziness and maybe afraid to admit it? And it was the first time, but not the last time, a nut founded a philosophy.

Death is a fact. Everybody fears the word. Seldom speak of it. The fact of it transcends words for certain. Is that the real fear? Life for us has become the “word” and death another word that ends it? Life begins in the lactating breast. Death as a fact is the moment beauty releases [me] and is always exactly on time. That’s good music!

I once went to an analyst. Nice guy. We became friends. We worked together for six weeks or more. Discussed a book we both found to be interesting reading. At the end he told me he could do no more for me, that I did not need him, which was taken to mean he did not expect me to go on paying to have discussions with him. And he thanked me for helping him see some things that had been worrying him a long time. Joked that he might owe me money for that. In my heart I thanked the friendship. In the course of those discussions was renewed a friendship with the whole of life.

A child does not “think” of “consciouness” at all. Yet, the child has it. The fact is all are that child. And when my consciousness changes that of all others is altered as well. Let us get it together sooner than later.

 

ON BUSY-NESS

Is it possible to prevail in life by non-conflicting behavior? Action occasioned by that which perceives itself to be the perceived means action of the whole, a pure, non-conflicting action that puts an ending to- “which side are you on?”, does it not?      

When a boy I loved playing football with all my heart, not because I wanted to defeat anybody, but for the beautiful wonder of crossing a line in play that led into an all-freeing passion. When coaches (any adult who was going to observe from the point of view of analysis of players) approached our game I walked away. Someone who was not going to throw a block or make a tackle or break an ankle had a motive to take charge in a way that corrupts beauty and that means the exit of love so all that remains is unworthy. And, what is left will attract more and more elements of ugliness and confusion to become another rat race in the world of the great rat fuck. As a child, I played “fighting soldier” in the same way as I played football. No one in my game bled, suffered or died. Then came the rat fuckers. 

Anyone ignorant of the possibility of non-conflicting behavior feels driven to take sides. However, I have noticed lately that something of the wholeness buried deep in the minds of all human beings from birth that has so far survived inside the rat race shows up from time to time in it and many are moved by it. Lately, I see more signs of an awareness that there is more to life than winning awards. And, furthermore, that it is worth facing a dragon over and I see more coaches who speak out concerning bringing a change that prevails when all seems lost because that change, when followed, removes even the possibility of losing. 

The analysts of the rat race are stumped more and more now in their efforts to explain this change. It is noticed that these games are taking on a new flavor where a coach tells his players this is your game and I want you to play each play to your fullest ability and whatever happens never are you going to think the game is not going your way, just turn your full attention to the next thing up. So long as you remain in this dimension you cannot lose, I promise you. 

More and more humans are coming to understand that all troubles have led them to greater awakenings. Trouble brings out the best. Something new becomes possible and that is the award I really sought…the new, the fresh. Then I become aware that loss is in another dimension I have abandoned and no one can explain that. I always was playing football to reach again the dimension of unlimited possibility. Then what was, was freedom as a fact and not just a hope.

When a human being is free they face the dragon because they are not afraid. They walk thru fire because life is worth it.

The writer need say “no more”. 

 FEELING GOOD FOR NO REASON

Sometimes I feel like a king for no reason at all. What is the source of that experience? Huh? 

Is such an experience worth a serious looking into? What could be more worthy? Some of the time I feel like nowhere at all is the true source of beauty. So do others I have spoken with. When I see or hear or touch beauty and immediately wonder, where did that come from, I answer myself that the artist did not do it, the artist is somehow so open to the unknown it just blows through him or her.  Don’t you ever think that way about it? So, if sometimes I feel so awfully good that I relate it to being a king, well, maybe I am another kind of king. One that is  monarch when he is not looking to be that. I am getting an inkling the openness to all is critical to amazing power.

 The Mechanical Life

As a younger man I was an addicted fan of football and especially the Dallas Cowboys. A young black player made a profound statement on television that shook my make-believe world to the core. It was on Super Bowl Sunday. The young man was Duane Thomas, who was to carry, metaphorically and literally, the Cowboys to victory that Sunday. The young Mister Thomas was asked prior to the start of the game by a commentator, “How does it feel to be in the biggest game of them all, “The Super Bowl?” The player paused and then replied, “Aren’t they going to play this game again next year?” 

That truth stuck in my brain and has remained all this time as a beacon home. 

I have seen for myself that anything done as a continuity is mechanical and is degenerative of the human body. A rut, it grinds away at the living organism. Going to the office every day for 50 years is so unnatural. Cleaning house in the same pattern and watching the children in a pattern of activities and driving them to their own assigned degenerative continuities is likewise. Playing a game season after season the goal of which is a make-believe championship was seen by a young professional player as a costly hoax if taken seriously. I ask myself, what, in our society, is not the same meat grinder? And is it not so that way of life is accelerating constantly? Look into it! It is sold to us as motivating us to further records and that that is progress. Is it? Really? Or is it a terrible form of meltdown into a dull and controllable hunk of dead or dying meat?

Who will have a better life? A mechanical robot with medals or a free human living in complete attention to the present moment deriving the benefit of all the moment has to offer unconcerned about a future? The answer is very important. Critical. Do not fail to consider this question from the point of view of the actual human being and the other actual humans he or she is related to in life. Ignore, if you are able, the point of view of a fictitious corporate system which organizes people in the fashion of robots. Who were the laborers who actually performed the holocaust?
