A man locked-up in his Mind
lives a life of highs and lows,
of conflict, and not knowing.
He does not remember anything.
He does not notice anything.
Every now and then
he suddenly finds himself "there".
Very much like in a dream.
If he likes where he is,
he amplifies it.
He goes for a coffee or orders food.
He shares or calls up his friends
or other allies served by his Mind.
When this subsides,
he coasts back to [his life].
If he does not like where he is,
he seeks to make his situation merry.
He goes for a coffee or orders food.
He shares or calls up his friends
or other allies served by his Mind.
When this subsides,
he coasts back to [his life].
[his life] is the life that he has come to know.
There may be many things that make up
the highs and lows in this mental projection.
Some of these, he recognizes, are not necessary.
Others, he readily attributes to his necessities.
Unknown to him, all the things
in his life are an addiction.
He likes the "good things" about his life.
Some things are there, but a greater part of him is not proud of them.
(Though he is hypocritical enough to not call them "bad things".)
So he keeps them a secret.
He thinks it is the good things in his life
that he likes the most.
But that is not the Truth.
The good things in life are not why he is addicted to [his life].
Only one thing is his strongest attachment to it.
His conflicts!
If conflicts did not exist, he would immediately see the Truth.
He abhors the Truth, for conflicts are his real home.
Deeper beneath the good things and the bad things,
conflicts are the foundation of [his life].
[his life] is the life that he has come to know.
Because and thus,
he does not know what exists beyond it.
"Because and thus" is the deadliest combination ever.
It is a torturous and serpentine prison that comforts a man to the point
of never questioning it.
[his life] is the life that he has come to know
Because and thus,
he basks in it,
he does not question it,
he does not venture past fully.
The most he does is sneaking previews.
By reading these words while rested against
one of his many comforting cushions.
Even after being reminded
the truth about arriving at The Truth,
of it not being what he knows about it,
Today, he says -
"I do not want to be where you are".
Tomorrow he will run around pouring money
into other's pockets to be relieved from his tortures.
Because tomorrow is never the day tomorrow.
Tomorrow is always decades down the line.
When the human revealing this truth to him today,
will be beyond his reach.
Thank you.
