Rising above mechanics

There are "good mechanics" and "bad mechanics", and there is nothing worse than confusing the two, once one has discovered the need to rise above mechanics - Waking Up, Staying Awake. That is, one should not tamper with the "good mechanics" which usually leads to bad results, but only the "bad mechanics" where such tampering is obviously called for once noticed. But in order to even begin such a process, one must be able to determine the difference. That is, first comes the noticing, then the aim, then the effort.

This is always "The Problem" for those of This Thing who choose to demonstrate and write about it. (Yes, there is a specific reason for choosing this "way", and it is both harder than hell, and softer than heaven.) Pointing out "bad mechanics" to those who don't, or for some reason can't realize it usually leads to less than good results. Those who are asleep can't admit to ANY "bad mechanics" which is, of course, the first sign of resistance followed by irritations, and various negative emanations surrounding the justifications and support of the mechanics. That is, first comes the noticing, then the acceptance, then the aim, then more effort.

Nothing can be gained by continuing the "bad mechanics" while justifying and rationalizing their continuation, but more of the same or worse. So, one must discover what the "bad mechanics" are, so that one can "get out in front of their continual arising", see them arising "in time". It is like a belch/fart that is about to be blurted out upon your guests at a banquet you yourself prepared for them at an important occasion. Yes, it would likely be an hilarious event for all, but totally inappropriate for the occasion (particularly in those societies which don't applaud the action, and of course there are some that do). "Bad mechanics" are simply gross inappropriatenesses relative to the occasion at which they arise, made more so by the, then, "Oh, pardon me" which inevitably follows. (Consider, would it not have been better to squelch the belch?)

"Bad mechanics" are what the 95% of human time is comprised of - first this, then that, then the other thing, on and on for the entire day, for the entire life passed in sleep. What follows is open to question, and one is certainly welcome to whatever opinion they may hold - far be it from someone else to try to "convince" you otherwise, eh?
