Two friends were out for a walk.

First: Thought would never sink to creating with words a thing that is pure fiction and believe it can own property to the exclusion of people and employee people to work for it and lobby politicians in office and bring lawsuits in courts and employ armies to fight wars on its behalf and actually hold meetings and think for itself, and inspire human beings to be loyal to all of its programs would it? Would thought do that? Does thought realize it has created this mess we endure where government, religion, and commerce on Earth are controlled by such idiotic pretense?

Second: No, it anticipated your concern in advance and it created you and me first to be its fictitious thinkers. It is all on you and me now. 

First: The very complex fiction you have pointed out is seen by you now by some miracle arising from someplace beyond thought. And, out with you on this walk, I can hear your clear, direct truth miraculously from that place beyond time and thought, too. It is up to us. You and I have created the fiction we serve. 

Second: It is so! Life has been made fiction and fiction has taken its place. Why, today, we even die by a system of thought as fictional robots. We need to stay home where life and sanity reside and tend to our own affairs. Let us commit to that.

First: And leave all fiction to work out its own demise. Calvin, I ask you now, based on actual experience of thinking, what do you know is the motive of every thought of any fictional character. To be real? You think?

Second:  Of course, it is like the story of Pinocchio the wooden puppet who wanted more than anything to be a real boy. Had to find his heart and the meaning of love. That is what the world needs now more than anything. Compassion and lots of it! 

First: Like Pinocchio each human needs to find the courage within to find out the truth of “who am I?” End suffering! And live and die as humans!

 CAN I ANALYZE  MY WAY OUT OF THESE TROUBLES?

 

Suppose I am looking at tree. The tree can talk to me and I can talk to the tree in my language. I see this tree is small. I see the tree has several crooked branches. The tree has some brown leaves. 

I say, “You ought to be tall and straight and green.”

The tree tells me, “I see I am too short. I see I have many crooked branches. I see my brown leaves. What can I do to change all this? I am the way I am. How can I change?

I say, “Your outside appearance is a reflection of how you think inside, psychologically.”

The tree asks, “How can I change how I am, psychologically?’

I say, “First, look inside  and find out how it is, as a fact, you think.”

The tree replies, “I do not think. I don’t even know what that is!”

“How can you talk if you do not think?” I ask the tree.

“Well, I talk because you want me to.” Answers the tree.

“Oh, my. What if you are the way you are as a reflection of how I think, psychologically”. I am beginning to see something I never have seen…I think I am a thinker…an observer of my own life…so you see me that way…I cannot change how I think…because I am what I think…so…you cannot change…until…until…I admit as a fact I think things I do not want to think…and my thinking is very muddled with confusion and the muddle controls how I live…and

the tree instantly grows tall, straight, and very green.

 FOOTBALL FUN

Let’s see. I love football as a child and want to play it all the time. It is important to be clear that this is a team sport. All parts of the team are equally important to its perfect performance. The object of the game is that he who has possession of the ball will not be knocked off his feet and be down as defined as a knee touching the ground while carrying the ball across the opposing team’s goal line. Am I right? 

If so, as a coach I want to tell the boys who are to play for me that there is a way to play the game perfectly well by absolutely not thinking or reasoning about the process, only playing with full attention. Thinking, using time and memory when it is of no assistance, only slows it down and that results in bad decisions. 

This way of play is likened to a river constantly flowing not by cause and effect or any such thought produced system being involved but a river flowing by its own logic in its on DNA. Each player is to be totally unconcerned with explanations. This requires tremendous awareness, intelligence, energy and courage. These are so appealing to humans. People want to be in contact with them as much as possible. Observing them in others is very pleasant for fans. But it is so important to have my own emersion in them. Such is known as fulfillment. The experience described is felt as an effortless flow. One can continue to play until he passes out.

Can life be this?

* When a player is asked to explain any part of a game he will reply that it is a game to be played as team. Either we do or we do not. There is however an ingredient that is invisible that must be present that only players know. It is sacred.

 A thing of greatest importance has been discovered that will speed the transformation of humans from the overwhelming weight of our mental chains. Only you can free you, so, pay careful attention.

It is up to each human to see clearly that (s)he is driven by words. A word, defined by other words, mere illusions all, never can be the thing described. To continue under the spell of having given such enormous power to words to the end of your days means a totally futile existence unworthy of a flea. Try for once that action that thought never touched and you won’t be goin’ in circles of confusion no mo’ living as the word ghost who claims to think for you with an unnatural language compiled by all the other word ghosts who have never been there. Oooohhhh.

Seeing this, the whole mind will cease completely its addiction to words as it opens wide to the whole picture it belongs within with a great deal of astounding new intelligence and a release of terrific energy from the falsely arrogant need to philosophize, argue, explain, judge, criticize, persuade and draw conclusions from dead language and a true human acts from a dimension beyond time and thought with a purity of action based in compassion for all, compassion and that’s all. Service to the words good and evil banished shows things too long dreamed impossible. Then you’ll see compassion’s clue. E-v-i-l is l-i-v-e spelled backward.

 Simple Direction 

The one you and I think to be independent from thought and is doing our thinking ( as the person who thinks) needs to be abandoned in favor of the one we are really who is completely independent of thought like nature is (which is obviously something not put together by thought) and is in fact an indivisible part of all nature. Then and only then it all works to perfection. You see, the thinker we think we are is an imposter, who is, like any gremlin when improperly followed, a being out to darken our world in confusion, fear, ambition, jealousy, greed, lust, and competition all in order to keep its image at the center of our being. Thought is disguising itself as who we are in reality and needs only to be put in its proper place as a servant. Shame on thought!

All you love when you love them know in certainty, in a feeling “I am an indivisible part of nature, the whole of life, therefore, I AM!” There is a legend about The Flying Dutchman cursed to ride the seas on a ghost ship until he finds someone to love him enough to die for him. The story is about you. The ghost ship legend goes back to ancient Egypt. We sail that ghost ship as nations of the world we have put together by thought.

When you as thinker meets You As You Are you will have found one who loves you as you are who will die for you. Those who remain as the thinker, as you were before, will never find love. Now you will find only love. All thinkers who are fortunate enough to meet you as you are will love you enough to die for you.

 ONCE A KID

Once there was a child who did not want to go to school. “I want to stay home today” he told his parents day after day and  an argument followed. 

The child, being so young, had no vocabulary yet to answer the question his parents asked “What’s wrong with you!” He might have told them: 

 “The school is narrowing my view of life day after day and I am inadequate to defend what I am from their line of reasoning which I find utterly alien to me. They let me know they have plans for me and I am so determined I should follow my own plan all the days of life. I pray to find someone who understands my great anxiety.”  

The child’s body is older now but his heart remains forever young and still beats out the same message and he has found a way today to express his life long pain in his own words. It is the lament of every kid ever born on Earth. It is all inclusive and springs from no goal or motive….encourage me and let me be. Encourage me and I will show you things you only once dreamed of.

For Charly

 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.
