Things, versus no-things

People EVERYWHERE, I repeat - in case you didn't hear it, or perhaps your tv/radio was playing too loudly inside your brain cavity - EVERYWHERE talk about the elements of their apparent "make-up" as though they are Things, but nothing could be further from the truth-of-the-matter, and thus are bigger stumbling-blocks for anyone trying to get-to-the-bottom-of-the-matter.

Personality, ego, subconscious, consciousness, conscience, will, mechanicalness, sleep, enlightenment, features, flaws - the list is too long to present here - are NOT things, they are processes, flows-of-energy, and as such, can NOT BE OBSERVED DIRECTLY. I repeat - in case you didn't hear it, or perhaps your tv/radio was playing too loudly inside your brain cavity - can NOT BE OBSERVED.

Frankly, no "thing" (often contracted into, nothing) can be observed, because, frankly, there are no things, only processes, flows-of-energy in a continual state-of-becoming.

Thus, anyone with a mind to get-to-the-bottom-of-the-matter must discover - and that IS the right choice of word here, because you haven't yet, even if you believe you've read something about that somewhere, you think, maybe, perhaps, hopefully - how to get out in front of this interminable (till death, and that's still quite open to further inquiry) flow-of-energy. What that means, is that nothing you imagine you've observed "about yourself", that comes out in "talk about yourself", can be changed, altered, modified, enhanced. What that means, is that you must leave all that stuff-of-non-sense-and-fantasy behind - MOVE ON, DON.

And, to make matters much worse or better, just because you can't do it, doesn't mean nobody can. The rule - for those that still like them - is: thought precedes observation, thought makes observation possible, you must think something first before it becomes even possible, let alone extant in your world.

Put another way, awakening is impossible, remains impossible, until you understand what sleep and awakening mean.
