People are much too, let's say, fascinated by all the (so-called) "weird, strange, odd and curious" things going on out there (or said to be going on by other people, most having no direct personal experience of any of it, but only BELIEVE them to be occurring), while at the same time (amazingly, AMAZINGLY) they are much too, let's say, DIS-interested by all the (actually) "weird, strange, odd and curious" things going on INSIDE THEMSELVES - particularly behind&between their eyes&ears - that, even though they have actually, personally "experienced" all of them, every one, every day, don't understand any of it at all, NADA, and are not even curious about that!
Do you get the "setup?" Too unreasoningly fascinated, or interested, or curious by the goings-on "out there", and not even close to being rightfully fascinated, or interested, or curious by the goings-on "in here".
This chasm exists in everyone (you can feel it - and, amazingly perhaps, it can be SEEN and HEARD by those who CAN), and for a very good reason: Life needs sleeping people in order to actualize it's Aims and Goals on this planet, and "sleep", in this context means, being overly focused (usually to the exclusion of all else) upon the external world of stuff, and hardly focused at all (if at all) upon one's own internal world. Let's call that: "Looking but not SEEING; Listening but not HEARING."
Once this balance shifts in the few - and strangely, it is only in "the few", never the many - one can rightfully be considered to be, "on the way". To what, always remains quite unknown, but the closer one comes to SEEING and HEARING, the easier it is to ride the Center path at the Crest of the Wave of Reality (like a Super-Surfer), and not be pulled off or out of the wave, into ordinary "believing" and/or "not-believing" EVERYTHING.
"EVERYTHING", is this context, is simply the (sand, shells, seaweed and other debris on the) shore that doesn't even exist yet (you do "get that", right?). As long as the RIDE is still occurring by the ONE WHO IS RIDING IT, there's simply no need for it... yet... well, until you "make it so", and right then you know exactly what the shore represents in this context: "Wiping Out", sometimes horribly, sometimes not so much, but it is on the shore that Death and Dissolution occurs for everyone eventually, NEVER at the Center (eternal) path at the Crest of the Wave of Reality.
Thought experiment for those perhaps falling behind on this one: "Global Warming: do you believe it is occurring and accelerating due to mankind's presence here, or do you NOT buy it for a second?" Or, "God: do you believe there is an external outside agency, or do you NOT buy it for a second?" Or, "Evolution: do you believe we are descended from apes, or do you NOT buy it for a second?" If you picked any side, or are (still) inclined to pick any side, any one at all, you're falling behind. If you are, however, STILL RIDING THE CREST, then you are letting the rest of humankind struggle with these inane issues (lacking real significance to the higher aims of which the few are interested - being rightfully fascinated, or interested, or curious by the goings-on "in here"), back-and-forth, back-and-forth, till they're all quite "blue in the face" (alluding to the bluish skin color resulting from lack of oxygen, which presumably might result from talking until one was breathless, and taken to the extremes humankind generally takes these kinds of things, means DEATH!)
