Upstairs, Downstairs

The upside, or downside (depending on something crucial, most don't "GET/GROK" even when it's pointed out to them) of all these Yahoo and Facebook delayed-reaction email/messaging groups supposedly dedicated to One Main Thing - "The Work" in whatever form it happens to take at the time and place of its arising... like Christian thought, Buddhist thought, Advaitist thought, Taoist thought, Muslim thought, Gurdjieffian thought, Tollean thought (oh hell, all of 'em) - is that they will very likely go on FOREVER (within certain limits, like neural implantation of hyperfast wireless Internet or something strange like that, which nobody HERE will live long enough to see), fooling and confusing and obfuscating the Essence of "The Work," keeping trapped all those who couldn't escape in time the Lure of the Loony Tunes being pushed there. (The Lure: Get fully engaged herein, and you TOO, will achieve great "results" just like a few of us here who have - particularly ME.)

Get it?

No?

Re-read & re-apply as necessary.

Okay, to continue: What if the unknown by most - and totally unstated, or even suggested - purpose of all such "groups" (which really are pseudo-groups at best, and "Give me a BREAK!" at worst) wherever they may be found, is NOT to attract people to a newer, higher, more expansive level of consciousness, being and understanding, but to DISTRACT as many people as possible, so that the very, very few who might have become so distracted - forever spouting their admiration, support, commentary, analyses, criticisms and promotion of their own particular HERO (Christ, Buddha, Gurdjieff, etc., and all the wonderful things S/HE said/wrote/distributed) - DON'T.

Here's another way to say it: It's bad enough to get sucked into a scam, a phony deal, a fake school of awakening (thereby missing, for the duration, ANY possibility of finding something REAL), BUT what is much worse is to get sucked into a seemingly Real Deal, like many Yahoo and Facebook pseudo-groups ostensibly about some favorite "teacher/guru," and there are HUNDREDS of 'em, with many TENS, if not HUNDREDS of thousands of hapless subscribers - bystanders and eavesdroppers, mostly, who once thought and/or still think there was something actually Real going on there.)

There is a belief in MANY people that you simply MUST find a Teacher without quotation marks to tell you what to think, and how to be, and etc. But this is simply a holdover from childhood, and the sooner one sheds that belief the greater is their chance to acquire a MIND (a conscious and discerning mind) that can THINK for itself, without constantly inner considering what others will think of them, or what their "Teacher" will do to them. Forget THEM!

Wake up and become an Independent, 

unaffiliated with past religions, philosophies, religions etc. 

Put another way: Invent your OWN Teaching

and establish yourself as Teacher!

If there is ANYBODY who actually believes this post was about Yahoo/Facebook "pseudo groups", it wasn't. NOT EVEN CLOSE. It is about the ordinary mind of man, full of language since a very young age, but totally lacking ANY understanding about what makes it tick, and tock, and only be "right twice a day!"

1. waking up from sleeptime in the morning 

2. entering sleeptime in the evening.

Someone once said, many times in fact: "This thing is simple, but not easy. If it was more complex, it would be easier. This is why you have such complex systems (4thway, Kabbalah, Urantia, etc.) The thing you're trying to work on, is the only thing you've got to work on it. The brain working on the brain. You're attempting to examine the brain, but only with the brain to do it. The eye attempting to see the eye. Using the mind to awaken the mind. Using stupidity to instruct stupidity, ignorance to raise the awareness of your ignorance."

That is, it is NOT that Yahoo and Facebook pseudo-groups are the problem, the ordinary mind of man is the problem, insofar as it continually forgets what is The Aim (Clarity) and it gets replaced by Irrelevant Ideas (Confusion).
