The best of the best of the best
of what?
Divine status on hold…
“I want to talk to the manager!”
….it’s only a matter of waking up
to what’s around you,
paying attention the entry fee.
I’m sorry; everything you’ve been
told is wrong. If you were Holden
Caulfield, you’d know that by now.
If you were Yossarian, you’d already
be looking for the exit. If you were
Rimbaud, you’d be deranging your
senses; Kesey, on LSD; Tonto on a
vision quest; Jesus finding Buddhism
In Persia; Alexander drinking soma in
India; Huxley taking mescaline; Cary
Grant on acid; Younghusband in Tibet.
“You ain’t gonna learn what you don’t
wanna know,” (Jerry). Change happens,
but you have to let it….not stuck to a
rut (not groove: groove includes change)
because the familiar is so…familiar.
That’s why Buddha said first thing is to
leave the family.
Nobody learned to sing that didn’t also
know how to fight. No snowflakes in a
bird’s nest: it’s fly or die. Everyone fails
as part of the path. If you want to know
the truth, you have to break a few eggs.
It doesn’t matter what people think that
take their thoughts as real. You’ve been
given an interface with a world…the
natural thing to do is to use it.
If you were born grown and had a week
to live, you’d want to know something
pretty quick. The illusion of eternity
creeps in when we see we wake up every
morning, forgetting that, once, we didn’t
exist. We feel no urgency, like a cow in a
large field of grass. But sometimes, when
we walk away, from a plane crash say, we
don’t see things the same way ever again.
Humans can evolve intentionally because
of their large brains, which mimic the
universe in structure. Experience is the path,
awareness the tool to unlock infinity. If
enlightenment wasn’t already potential in all,
there never would have been a Buddha.
So, get to work.
