The big fallacy


"I've had all these really big, and might I add, important experiences, enlightening experiences, and I really want to ALERT other people to them, WAKE people up to them, SHAKE them out of their sleep!"

The big fallacy.

That's not what's going on at all, that's just how in their own confusion they describe something they can't express (NOT something that can't BE expressed, but something THEY can't express). Different people have different ways of describing their, to them, "transcendent experiences", and some fall back on the language of religion, or a certain religion, or some mystical or philosophical system they learned a long time ago, but when they are pushed to answer: "Ok, all right, how is that working for you?" they will often readily admit - if they have not lost the ability to be honest with their self - "Well, not so good actually. Why bother at all?"

The big fallacy.

Where did they ever get the idea that it was their need, wish, responsibility to convey their internal world of thoughts to the rest of the world of people? What if this is a distraction, or worse, a waste of time, to attempt such as that? A distraction the ordinary sleeping mind plays on itself, to keep it from ever realizing what it's up to, so that it can continue operating in the same distracted and disjointed way it always operates, while "you" - the "experiencer" - remain quite asleep by design, all those "big enlightening experiences" notwithstanding.

Perhaps it would be more profitable to discover how it is, that one is compelled to tell others about these apparently internal experiences yet continually fail, and further, how it is that the more you talk about them the less people are interested. Maybe something is amiss here, in you (not out there in others), that you continually fail, and perhaps you don't really understand what's going on in you at all.

**There is nothing in the life of man
that can not be expressed - NOTHING -
except by those that can't yet do it.**

"Nah!! Couldn't be!!"

Simply and much more directly put: people do NOT need to hear your stories, anecdotes, personal recollections of past enlightenments and other sundry predicaments... what they ALL NEED is to discover for themselves how to Realize and Actualize the statement wrapped in stars **above**.
