Fences, Walls, and Craziness

~~~~~~~part 1~~~~~~~ Here is a kick-start, or jump-start to this entire piece: Neighborhoods all around America and elsewhere have houses and apartments separated by fences and/or walls, which is quite appropriate for reasons most understand quite well. Neighbors need to be separated from each other, because arguments, fights and bad feelings will sometimes break out between them, having to do with their Fences, and/or their Walls, or lack thereof as the case may be.  

"No kidding!"

Another kick: the two major halves of the brain - left and right cerebral hemispheres - are separated by what is called, though hardly even known about by most, or understood at all, the corpus callosum which serves a similar function.  

"Huh, say what?"

So... in light of the above.... what the heck is going on in humanity at this time and in our space? America is split right down the middle, and so are most "civilized" countries... whereas the so-called "less-civilized" (not yet Americanized, Europeanized, Asianized, Australianized, etc.) are not split at all!  

"One people, of one mind, or close to that." 

But THAT is NOT a good thing for Evolution, apparently, because Evolution - at least over the last 5000 years - has forced all people everywhere to come together (for mutual benefit in a variety of ways) and eventually to put up fences, and build walls, and tend to them fairly closely - at all cost, really - so that they don't fall down, or become penetrated. All of this, so far, simply leads up to The Greater Issue... but it can not be "scaled" ("penetrated") without..... NAMING IT!

Now, where have we heard that before?

~~~~~~~part 2~~~~~~~ It is so humorous to see and hear the mainstream media trying to make "sense and significance" of the recent Radical Islamic Terrorist attacks in NY/NJ over the weekend. They seem like chickens with their heads cut off. You've seen 'em - check it out, watch some videos - it's funny stuff. They run around as if they're trying to figure out what has happened, but they have no brain anymore, and can't, but without their chicken brain, they don't even know that much. This goes on for awhile until their bodies get too tired, and they just fall down for the last time.

"Funny stuff."

That's CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABCnews, CBSnews and NBCnews in a nuthouse. All day long and into the night, every single day, only the TOPICS change from day to day.... meaning their heads get chopped off sometime early each morning and they spend all the rest of that day, at least, running around like headless chickens. That is all bad enough - having an entire "fourth estate" acting like chickens with their heads cut off, without a clue about what's really going on - but the OBJECTS of their confusion, the two presidential candidates, are as clueless as the media! It's a case of flocks of headless chickens trying to make sense of all the other headless chickens running into them every 15 seconds.

"Very Funny stuff."

Absolutely NOBODY - got that? NOBODY - has a clue about any of this. I don't, you don't, he don't, she don't, they don't, and that is the current state of the "human race" (here, put in quotes because these naked apes with big brains are really not quite HUMAN as of yet, they just APPEAR to be.)

Bottom Line: individually, one has to have a real sense of responsibility for all of this. One can no longer look down their noses at the world, and continue to think they are somehow ABOVE it all - i.e.,

"But, I am not just another DEPLORABLE, 

because I am SPECIAL."

In America, the Depressing Lefties believe they are SPECIAL, and call the Excitable Righties DEPLORABLE - but it's a lie, top to bottom, and everyone knows it. Everyone is both Special and Deplorable, and circumstances reveal what is currently at the surface. And like oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds and streams, the surface is always changing. What is required is a vastly different MINDSET in all and everyone.

~~~~~~~part 3~~~~~~~ Again (and again, and again I must repeat), this is a LARGER STORY than seven billion headless chickens can possibly realize... although there are a FEW here and there who apparently have their HEADS ON STRAIGHT, and can not only SEE what's happening on planet earth, but FEEL it too.

You may know one, or even Be one.

It is painful, down to the marrow in the bone, and the only way to ameliorate that pain is to eliminate the electrical charges building up on the surface....and that means activating the brain-mouth/hand circuit, and EXPRESSING noise. From shrieks, to yells, to screams, to cries, to whines, to whimpers, to twitter tweets, to facebook messages, to blogposts, to wherever someone is there to receive it... but even the receiver is not all that important.... but the EXPRESSION always is.

What is being continually demanded - hour by hour, every day of our lives, - is neural activity... which is the production of electricity, low wattage of course (about that of a 10-watt lightbulb), but it is enough to be felt in the quantum sphere that is Life Itself. This global transfer of energy among humans, is LIFE THINKING, which of course is not the same "thing" as what we call thinking, but on a much higher level, at a much higher frequency, that only the "sensitives" can perceive. Some of the animals that can perceive this are dogs, cats, rodents, bats, and whales (incl. dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea lions)...such that they can form complex packs, clowders, mischiefs, colonies and schools, though they can't MAKE SENSE of it.  

But we can.

Life is telling a tale - a Global Tale - about the direction mankind (and most likely all other species) is proceeding, and since the individual nodes on the neural network are not interconnected to all the others (not yet, anyway), no individual has an inside track, or "inside knowledge", about this Direction. Just as some like to suggest, "God has a plan, but we can't know that plan", just substitute LIFE for God, and the message is the same.

We really don't have to know that plan, but we do have to FEEL IT FIRST. Feeling that there is something going on here, and that the external nonsense exhibited by the headless chickens running around without a clue, writing and reporting on all the HEADLINES, is not a BAD THING. The GOOD THING, that can't be readily perceived by the headless headline-writing and -reporting chickens - remember, they lack the capacity for real THINKING - is first to get your HEAD ON STRAIGHT. Right now, it's missing, and all the running around is simply YOU (apparently) "looking around" for it.

So, Step 1: get your head on straight.
Step 2: activate your higher functions including the capacity to THINK sans EMOTION - i.e., left brain for thinking, right brain for emotion.
Step 3: (remember the FENCES from above... time for a quick review.)

~~~~~~~part 4~~~~~~~ Obviously, I am not being perfectly clear (who could?), but the reason LIFE keeps human brains in a constant, never-ending state of flux, chaos, confusion, with seemingly bipolar periods of great elation/excitation and great confusion/depression... is to specifically BREAK DOWN the walls, the fences, existing between the Left and Right brain. To make bicameral humans whole, unicameral, one brain. The innate DRIVE for this is wired into the DNA, and is why there is the notion of such concepts as, "One World Government", "New World Order." The only problem is that mankind is NOT YET EVOLVED to the point that such is possible, without extremely negative results as we have all seen in America and Europe and the Middle East... maybe in some centuries down the road, maybe much later, but certainly NOT TODAY.

This same situation can explain (if you can do it) the current Americal Political Environment. America is split into two halves with a great wall, or FENCE, separating those residing on each side. Each side believes the OTHER side is deranged, idiotic, retarded, racist, sexist, homophobic, islamophobic, DEPLORABLE (each, in their own unique ways of course) and IRREDEEMABLE (this is a hard and fixed idea for most.)

The FENCE is there in reality, and nobody sees or feels it directly, only INDIRECTLY - that is, within, but they can't "touch it", because if they could TOUCH IT, they could NAME IT...

Now, where have we heard that before?

By keeping all human brains in a mental/emotional chaotic flux, our brains must produce copious quantities of biochemically-based, neuro-electrical energy circulating throughout the brain - i.e., more and more talk, hence the recent popularity of Facebook, Twitter and other sites, including the proliferation of cable news shows, to contain all of it. LIFE benefits, and humans are depleted, expended, just like batteries are depleted and expended, and then finally tossed into the trash.

~~~~~~~part 5~~~~~~~ I am not the first, and I won't be the last to say it is obvious what is needed in America and perhaps other places, is to replace these bifurcated political systems (born of bicameral brains), that naturally gravitate farther and farther out to the EDGES, rather than nearer and nearer to the CENTER. Call it centrifugal force, and it's real and it's happening to each and every human with every passing year.

Americans are at the extreme edges, and from that "distance" (it's a mental distance of course, thought-based, and "imaginary") what you think you "SEE and HEAR" is not what is actually THERE. Democratic viewpoints are not really that far away from Republican viewpoints, but human brains SAY there is an almost insurmountable world of difference.

Language is the great DIVIDE, and the great Divider. It is the WALL. It is the FENCE that divides the personal properties of each and every human. What the "more enlightened" in BOTH camps should be doing - and should have BEEN doing for the last several months, if not years or decades - is working toward a new kind of Cooperative Party. That's sort of what the Libertarians think they are doing, but they are not. Pick their issues and plans apart, and you get a left-wing social liberalism, and a right-wing fiscal conservatism. But that will never work. Look at G.Johnson. He doesn't have a chance in HELL.

"Time Wasters Extraordinaire"

Mankind's full-time job for Life (everyone's Master), is engaging the brain with thought energy, that comes from somewhere, hangs around for some period of time, and then goes to somewhere, at which point there is a "GAP" of unknown duration (since there is no one HOME). That's about it, really... "Wasting Time"

As a result of all this intermittently interrupted "thinking" (which is not that at all, but a kind of "echoing", or "reverberating" at a frequency that can sometimes be heard by the internal teletype operator who reads and rips and hands off to the more conscious parts), there may be some physical activity of some sort, 99% of which is useless expenditure of nervous energy - itching, scratching, changing channels, mumbling, walking into the bathroom, etc., etc. - and 1% of which operates on physical objects of one kind or another in order to DO or PERFORM something really useful - like making a sandwich without dropping the Mayo jar onto the floor, or composing a multi-paragraph "essay" or "article" for publication, or whatEVER. That's about it, with exceptions - sometimes the human in question is actually FULLY CONSCIOUSLY ENGAGED with some activity or task that produces glorious, wonderful results in the Arts, Sciences, Crafts, or something notable like that. But, really, it's very, very rare.

Look at your own day, say the last 12 hours (for me, that's 6am to 6pm), and what do you remember so clearly that it instantly appears in your fore brain when you recall each time segment (say, 6am-7am, etc.) Thinking (well, "echoing", or "reverberating") and some moving around, is generally all you can remember, but you do NOT REMEMBER precisely the words and sentences that were thought, and quite likely you can't even remember the topics very clearly! Oh, you might remember a few of the movements that occurred during that segment (took a piss, ate a banana, fed the cat, took a shower, etc., etc.) but that's about it!

Really, it was just wasting time, from morning till night; then you hit the rack, disappear for a few hours, and get up next day at 6am for a repeat performance.

"So WHAT?" some were heard to mumble under their breath, or loudly at the author! Well, generally, the only response that is worth providing would be, "Check into it. See with careful observation and collecting of evidence, dutifully recorded for a few days running - without FAIL - how your days go." There is LOTS AND LOTS of  "thinking" (echoing, reverberating, mumbling), some speaking, some moving around, all performed for what purpose: to what END? Are you not just an "Extraordinary Time Waster", like everyone else on this planet?

So, who's running your show? Who's running THIS PLANETARY SHOW, including all the "primary", "secondary" and "tertiary" figure-heads who dominate the NEWS SHOWS 24-7, in which you are so mentally invested, unless you live in a cave, deep in the forest, up in a mountain shack, or in an undersea grotto somewhere - i.e., you've DROPPED out, TUNED in to nature, and are TURNED on to the cosmos?

Here's a FACT OF LIFE whether or not you "care to admit it"...

To the question asked here recently in "The Boxcar" (convince your CLOSE FRIEND - who is for the other guy/gal - why s/he should absolutely vote YOUR CHOICE INSTEAD in 25words or less)...

Precisely what was going on in you, (thought, feeling, sensation, 

gut rumblings, heart murmurings, brain-washing, etc.)  

that produced your DECISION to CHOOSE YOUR CHOICE?

Or, did it somehow just happen, and THEN, you found out!?!

"Boxcar of Regrettables"

This election season has "corrupted" my mind - hopefully the brain has not suffered any permanent damage, but the mind, well, that's another thing. I also am pretty certain the same thing has happened to millions and millions of others following this bizarre election season, judging by the wealth (he said facetiously) of evidence I've acquired, and analyzed, on Facebook, Twitter , and the MSM.

(FB and TW: whose only purpose is to suck time and talent -neural energy- from hundreds of millions of unsuspecting sheeple, hummers and wannabe People... and mainstream media: whose ONLY purpose is to sell adspace, period, end of story.)

That is bad enough, but the reasons that minds get "corrupted" (from that degree, to VERY CORRUPTED!) are worth delving into, if one has the time and energy after a long day's journey into the evening hour, at a day job toiling for their piddly paycheck out in real life, or in front of a computer screen doing who knows what (Facebooking and/or Tweeting perhaps?)

It would be possible for anyone to do this (i.e., look into "how it is that..."), but not only will they NOT do this, they usually can't even admit to themselves - and certainly NOT to anyone else - that their mind has become "corrupted" (to VERY MUCH SO...) simply by "engaging" with Life, and all of its chaotic and confusing perturbations.

But in fact, the above paragraph - specifically - is the CORRUPTION. Can you grok that? Something that is quite possible - to look into the workings of MIND itself.... you know, from the INSIDE - has become literally IMPOSSIBLE, simply by being alive long enough to acquire a language, and some ordinary skill at utilizing that language, and then engaging in conversations with other similar language-using brains, and experiencing the huge variety of after-effects of that engagement.

For example: to be "grossly generalistic" you could put HALF (or, in truth, MOST) of our entire species into what could be called a "Boxcar of Regrettables" - though I would choose quite a different term here, which I may reveal at a later time - for the very reason that, when born, each baby is PURE as the driven snow (that has blown into drifts and is untrodded and clean); an image of "GOD Almighty" wherever He might reside (if "he" indeed does, after all); yet, after just a few short decades, if that, each one of the "regrettables" has compiled a rather long list of same, that, under close inspection (which they CAN'T perform themselves.... see above) are mostly imaginary, having NOTHING to do with reality!

The Weight and complexity of this material - i.e., knots of broken, tangled, twisted neural synaptic fibers of partially-started and prematurely-aborted Threads of Entanglement (with Life ITself) - clogs the MIND to the point that just asking MOST EVERYONE a simple question, a YES-NO question, reveals they are incapable of producing a straight answer. And why is that? Because THEY have no idea about what a straight answer would be, primarily because their only "teachers", "instructors", "role models", were just as confused as they now have become. Can you grok THAT?

Sheeple can be forgiven, of course - and they can never be called "IRREDEEMABLE" - because all that is ever necessary is UNCLOGGING THE MIND, Straightening it out, and anyone can do that. But, it requires two things: 1) a desire for the higher states of consciousness that WILL result when successful, and 2) empty the damn BOXCAR! Some here might read that and go, "Yeah! Right! I've done that!" But, don't be so sure about anything, so long as the Threads of Entanglement have not been dissolved.

Here's a question for the non-faint of heart and mind: 

America is about to elect a new President of our great country - some say it's the Greatest on Earth, but that is one of those "entangled threads" - and there are TWO candidates that are roundly hated and despised by over 50% of the electorate - some say the Left one is MUCH WORSE, and some say the Right one is MUCH WORSE, but that is another one of those "entangled threads" - so.... here it is... in 25 words or less, composed from your own brain/mind complex, convince your CLOSE FRIEND (who is for the "other side") why s/he should absolutely vote YOUR CHOICE.

"The Terror of the situation"

Someone recently mentioned the phrase: "The Terror of the situation**" - which has a very definite, though quite obscure meaning to practically everyone (look it up if interested)... including those who casually use the phrase, especially those who bring it up so as to "talk about their self". This piece puts a slightly different spin on the ball.

The past is dead, 

yesterday is dead,

"The" is in the rearview mirror, and 

though there is no "future", per se,

this upcoming period is the "NOW"   .

Humans don't understand SHIT, and if you still claim to be one, too bad for you. The brain can be changed, wiring can be rewired - it's simple; you pull a connection here, and there, and reconnect them elsewhere. That's technology. That's your life in action, and it most often goes on behind the scenes (i.e., subconsciously, outside your awareness.)


Talking about one's life - howEVER one remembers it - is the fool's errand that Life demands from its hapless humans, and why? To keep them in their place of course. Every "look back" sees the same damn thing as previously, but the words that are applied to that "look back" will very often be slightly altered, just a bit, so that even YOU don't realize it. After enough times of this casual "remembering yourself", what you say you remember, may have never even happened at all! From a realistic point of view, "you" are not "you", "you" are someone "else" and you don't KNOW any of them. But they are all still sitting there at the switchboard, forever fiddling with the wiring.

It's a human ZOO in there.

Some guys I once knew, when quite young, had bikes, and rode for hours everyday all over the city, and once got "almost mugged" by an old guy. Both freaked out, but one started crying outloud, shrieking and even wetting his pants. That's how they both told it to me at school the next day. A few decades later we met again for a drink, and when recalling the story, all laughing out loud, the pants wetter said the other guy was the pants wetter! When he was quickly rebuffed, by both of us, saying,"NO WAY... It was you.... how many times have you told that story anyway?" He said, many times over the years, and he was certain he wasn't the pants wetter. As for me, I never thought about it even once, not the rest of the day, or anytime thereafter, till remeeting those guys.

Brains are a bitch. 
Can't trust 'em.

That's where "your life" lives - in that bitch of a brain, and nowhere else, because the past is nothing more than trillions of randomly wired and rewired neural connections that get FRAYED over time, and even rewired again, sometimes over and over - due primarily to this casual "remembering yourself", and "talking about your life" - to suit the more recent telling of "the story". THAT is the TERROR.

You are not who or what you think you are, 

but something else entirely.

And that goes for everybody else!

**The terror of the situation, in Gurdjieff’s phrase, is that we’re consigned to a world run, for the most part, by sleeping people; people who are never awake at all.


“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”Oscar Wilde 

Thoughts and thinking

It is the easiest thing in the world for humans to talk about thoughts (ideas, concepts, theories, from whatever source) - and once someone can talk, they will do it, from morning till night, and in their day and night dreams... they talk, talk, talk - about thoughts. Duh, right?

Even those without a seriously considered opinion can chime in, and often do, if only to show they, too, have a brain and something to say. Such is ordinary conversation.

And it makes absolutely no difference whether anybody knows what they're talking about - and most don't. Just look for a few minutes on the cable news shows, or the many Facebook and Twitter feeds. An extremely large amount of silly and nonsense talk, but an extremely small amount of intelligent talk. All that matters is that the activity continues without interruption, all over the globe, and in that way humanity mechanically evolves, and technology grows and expands, providing bigger and better mediums-of-transmission, as well as spaces-for-socializing, for more and more longer-living, louder-talking humans.

But what is not easy - what is never easy, and can never BE easy - is to talk about thinking, not simply theorizing about the definitions of the words, or the mechanics of the operations of the constituents of brain matter, but what, precisely, Thinking Is - and especially, what precisely is going on, when you personally are Thinking. And, can you understand the difference between daydreaming (without any effort), intentional thinking (requiring considerable effort), and "revolutionary thinking", which is the kind that never happens by itself, nor even with considerable effort. "Waking Up" doesn't produce it; "Getting Enlightened" doesn't produce it; "Grace" doesn't produce it; "Warm Hugs" from your guru doesn't produce it; in fact those things (or states of being, or conditions) only properly result from the longish-term, intentionally enforced, creatively enhanced simplicity which is, "revolutionary thinking."

It is a kind of thinking without words, with energy alone, that answers all questions before they even need to arise and consume your fragile attention, and taking you down long, lonely roads of confusion, and discontent, and hours and hours of Facebooking and Twittering into the wee small hours.

The two BIG MYSTERY words

The chief failing of ordinary humans as it regards their attempts to comprehend the UNKNOWN, is the way they NAME and DEFINE what they don't fully comprehend, long before they have even SENSED one bit of it. And then, making matters so much worse, they TALK TO OTHERS about it using those same words and definitions, which - once you begin to realize what's happening - literally pollutes their minds, who then, quite polluted, set about polluting others, and on and on it goes.

And you wonder why the confusion-of-the-masses is 

so widespread and growing every day?

This is like approaching a wall-sized TV screen of, let's say, 100k by 70k aspect ratio - about 7billion peoples, err, pixels - and noting JUST ONE OF THEM, conclude by that measurement that you fully comprehend the entire on-screen image (on-stage humanity). "How ridiculous!" you would say. One would have to stand way back, WAY BACK - perhaps in space AND time - in order to even begin to GROK what's going on there. Time and Space travel would be required, and well, we just can't DO that.

But, in a way, we can! The Unknown Exists but it is always The Unknown. The more you think you know, and the more you TALK about it with those shoddy, misnamed and misinterpreted, words in use by the commoners (those with whom you are talking and who are talking back), the more out of reach does the Unknown become for you - that is, you don't get smarter, but DUMBER!

And you wonder why the confusion-of-the-masses is 

so widespread and growing every day?

Bless the Unknown, the Unnamed, and stop trying to wrap it in English, or French, or Russian (particularly Russian - jeez, eh?) Rather, sit at the feet of the Unknown, be satisfied with your ABILITY to keep your damn hands off it.

(Big caveat goes here: in the Scientific Method, it often requires naming what is only conjectured, even for a long time, or until the Method can "absolutely" - or for the time being - reject the conjecture, and then it becomes necessary to do it all again, with another, perhaps better or refined conjecture. The first paragraph is about that which is - for the time being - outside the scope of Science... as in the two big mystery words**)

**the words: "God" (is the same as) "Love"

Both of these mystery words should be exorcised 

at your earliest convenience knowing in advance 

NOTHING will be lost, but potentially EVERYTHING gained.

The "fringe" and The Fringe

There are many "on the fringe of society" - and the number is actually increasing not decreasing (whereas one might think otherwise, given organized education being available to more and more everyday) - quacks, nutcases, conspiracy theorists, and believers in everything the middle-of-the-bellcurve finds unworthy of their further investigations, including but never limited to those assorted gods, goblins, ghosts, grays, spectres, sprites, other-worldly aliens (at least not the ones the bellcurvers follow, worship, pray to, vote with, fawn over, "friend" and later "UNfriend", etc.).

Then, there is The Fringe, of which the middle has absolutely NO CLUE, nor do "the fringees" who are embedded in the middle, and if ever informed about it, they still have no interest. That's the good news, particularly for those of "The Fringe", because it sets the stage for further unimpeded - by the Mob and "the fringees" (sheeple, hummers and wannabe "people") - investigations by those of "The Fringe".

Got that? (Don't look where the MOB is looking, 

look in the "Here, Now"... does that make it any better?)

Now, "the fringees" AND the middle-of-the-bellcurve MOB (which extends out to about the 47th percentile on each side - thus encompassing about 95%) are ALWAYS about "elsewhere and elsewhen", while "The Fringe" are ONLY about "Here, Now". For them, it always comes back to "Here, Now", and because there is no time, no space, between "Here", "Now", well you get the picture, right? This is the most, and at the same time least energetic place one can exist, since this is definitely NOT a 2-dimensional representation, but a 4- or even 5- so it "wraps around itself".

The nutjob fringe, and the rest of the MOB in the middle, don't even LIVE in the HERE AND NOW - couldn't locate it with a flashlight and microscope, being the only things they "know about" to use in that investigation. Whereas those of "The Fringe" ONLY live here and now, or put another way, People are only ALIVE "Here", "Now" - not "elsewhere or elsewhen".

Final note: Though it is possible to discover "The Fringe" without having to travel through the world of "the fringees" (though it does occasionally happen), it is quite rare. Most simply remain sound asleep in the MOB, and never get the (higher neuronal/hormonal) "tickle" to pursue something else. Most of those who manage to get started, get thoroughly caught up with the nonsense of interest to "the fringees", and like so much quicksand in one's path, it completely stifles their forward movement, and they spend their remaining days, usually, all bogged down, flailing their arms, and yelling for HELP that never arrives. The world of "the fringees" is an unending quagmire of bullshit passing for "really interesting stuff, you betcha", but it's not and never was.

That world as you know it out there is a monstrous subterfuge consisting of unregulated MOB RULE (the powerful/dominant and the powerless/submissive), and the BUFFER ZONE, herein called "the world of the fringees", which keeps otherwise ordinary people from ever discovering "The Fringe" and more particularly making use of it for their own benefit. Some people do discover it, by accident, or by some "gentle" nudging by others, but usually it so irritates their thinking brain - their common neural map of "the world as I know it" - that it both frightens and angers them: 1) because they begin to think, "Crap, if this is true, I'm a dead man!", and/or 2) they begin to feel offended, insulted, belittled, misunderstood, confused. This is NOT the fault of the one who reveals the "new reality of The Fringe", but of their incomplete, or improper foundation and preparation for this kind of stuff.

Get Extricated!

Having read the prior message about "Getting Connected" a scant few may have focused almost immediately on the phrase: "(Have you) already somehow extricated yourself from the prison you stepped into so willingly when you first "came online"?

If not, I can wait...

Anyway, the hardest thing sheeple, hummers and people can do - at this time in our time line - is INTENTIONALLY pulling our arms and legs (and head and torso) OUT OF the huge Tar Baby our dear, dear Masters of the Family (you know them.... the parents) dumped in our lap so many decades ago...when just beginning our formalized "education"... because the harder one struggles, the deeper, and more firmly is the GRASP and PULL of that cute, squeezable, even adorable Tar Baby.

In this present case - in our time line - the Tar Baby is everything outside your head that is connected to the electrical grid, both the DUMB grid (toasters, refrigerators, desk lamps, electric clocks, etc.) and the SMART grid (computers, smart phones, networks, Internet, etc.) and today, for many BILLIONS of sheeple, hummers and people - who are trying to EVOLVE their consciousness (even though few of them even realize that is what is happening, since LIFE is controlling it for the most part) - it is wrapped around each one, like a thick, viscous, tar field that one can no more EXTRICATE oneself from than they can climb OUT of their own skin and live.

But there is aTrick here

There is absolutely no possible way to discover WHO and WHAT and WHY you are, by thinking about it, even if you think/talk/think/talk/etc. until you've bored even yourself to tears, not to mention everyone else, including your friends who unfortunately won't tell you (so thank god for strangers, who WILL, OFTEN!)

There is only one possible way, and the ancients, the mystics, the holy men, and others have known about it for millennia! They even invented a word/phrase for it in their own native tongue. "Waking Up", which became "Enlightenment", "Nirvana", "Cosmic Consciousness" and many other fun words to say in mixed company to impress others.

Yes, there IS an "essence need" to Know these things, but it is absolutely not the job of the brain to accomplish it. It's job, of course (once you Grok It, Crockett) is to interfere. There is a "something" outside the brain - though "connected to it" in an inconceivable way - that is surrounding the entire organism, that is MUCH larger in size/space, and MUCH longer in life/time, than the minuscule "mind of mere minutes" we have access to. Some call it, Consciousness, The Mind, or Life, or Nature, or God, but it doesn't matter what the brain calls ANYTHING. Only that it calls it something, so as to be thoroughly dazed and confused thereby. For the mystics, however, they all knew they must "get out of the way", so as to allow Real Awakening to come upon one - which it will when this is fully achieved - and they were able to achieve it. The "merely mind" can't KNOW SELF, only the Awakened Mind.

Talking about yourself - endlessly telling stories about your "life in my body", your "life in this world", and telling everyone what kind of guy or gal or trans you are, health-wise, wealth-wise, social-wise, religious-wise, political-wise, and otherwise - is the most time-consuming activity of the ordinary sleeping mind, and if you don't KNOW THIS WELL, then you are still doing it daily, hourly, moment by moment! 

Get Over Your Self, and Wake Up! (It's easy!)

Here's how: (well, today's rendition, tomorrow there will be another): Realize there are two "parts" or "functional aspects" of the minuscule "mind of mere minutes" you think you know, but don't, not even a little bit. Two Parts, almost like Two People, almost like a Partnership that is ever-engaged in working out the "details" of "being alive today" (and one of them is a tyrant - guess which one). What to do, where to go, who to see, when to leave, when to arrive, how to do this, why should I do that, and the thousands of other "ME" questions (which, taken all together, are known as "talking about oneself" to "the partner.") This is a TRAP. It is a TAR BABY and you are embedded in it from the time you can compose reasonably coherent sentences your parents can understand, until you actually WAKE UP (known as "escaping the trap", or "killing the partner" once and for all...phew!!!) Till then, and for all your mortal life here on Earth, from the outside, "YOU" can't even be perceived, you might as well be a ghost. This follows in right-order the unknown and unrealized LAW - which can  also be stated as, the lower can't SEE itself, only the higher can. So...

Get Outside Your Tar Baby, and Awaken! (It's easy!)

Here's how: (you didn't think I was really going to go into this today, did you?)
Okay, abandon Facebook, Twitter, Mainstream News Media,
and all the mental and emotional gyrations your brain
is experiencing for the next [days till election].

Get Connected!

It is the unstated GOAL of Facebook and Twitter (because it is unknown to Mark Zuckerberg-FB,CEO, and Jack Dorsey-Twitter,CEO) to turn all of Humanity into drones - like worker bees and ants and termites and other insect-level know-nothings - whose function is NOTHING MORE than "Aggregating & Disseminating" the crap and shit that passes for "News Items" flooding the Internet, the overall effect of which is the further Dumbing Down of the masses to the level of Sheepledom - which is where they want to be after all: their "Home Sweet Home".

The current user community of these two websites (facebook.com, twitter.com) approaches TWO BILLION and is growing daily. The sleeping, dim-witted masses are being fed a steady stream of left-leaning "lies" and bullshit - while missing most if not all the right-leaning "fair and balanced" truth - so as to turn those Sheeple into willing slaves, one and all. "Please sirs, may I have another?" The CEO's may not be doing this personally, but the massive user-base is doing it to themselves. It's a spiral that increases speed and power as it grows.

If you doubt this for one minute, just look at your OWN "contributions" to the Internet over the last 12 months. Be honest. Does it consist primarily of "aggregating & disseminating" the work of others, OR (and this is the extreme rarity) does it consist primarily of "Original Content" produced solely by yourself on topics of your OWN CHOOSING, on a regular basis?

Be honest, if that is still possible for you.

If it is not the latter - and for your sake I hope it is - then you have been duly warned, and alerted to what is coming next. This ENTIRE election season in America is a turning point in World Economic and Financial Systems, which will absolutely affect every human still alive after 1/20/2017... and the election is only [97] days away. (countdown clock to the big day)

So, your task if you choose to accept it is this: Get to work and stop being a slave to the Internet Masters who control you (or not, because you've already somehow extricated yourself from the prison you stepped into so willingly when you first "came online".)

~~~~~~~~

Perhaps it is useful to clarify the above somewhat, because "Hey, I love cute kitty videos just like the next guy, and important text-over-photos about the Candidates, and other kinds of apparently inspirational stuff too." Sure, keep 'em coming, just remember you are still "Part of the Greater Game" being played on you and everyone.

Which is: Okay, sheeple, it's another glorious day.... so... Gather up all the random shit out there on the Interwebs, and re-tweet it, and re-share it, and LIKE the hell out of it so your friends will do EXACTLY the same as you, and we can get that Big Ball a-Rollin' so that it can NEVER STOP - as long as the electricity doesn't run dry, and there is not a massive worldwide reduction in humanity's numbers.

But until then,
"What do we want?"
"More connected brains!"
"And when do we want it?"
"NOW!"

Perhaps all this is still unclear to some, but it boils down to this: Life is doing ITS job, and so is humanity by becoming more and more jacked-in to the Interwebs, for the primary purpose of INCREASING the neural capacity (Brain Power) of the Entity called Organic Life on Earth. It is real and it is the most dominant force on this planet - perhaps not in this solar system or galaxy, but certainly on earth. There is a PLAN afoot, and it requires humongous amounts of human brain power to enact, and the Sheeple are the brains in question here, and every day they remain jacked-in (willingly, happily, "Glad to do it; Thank you very much indeed.") without a counterbalancing Voice to resist that, the greater is the possibility that the PLAN will fail.

You see, the obvious part of the PLAN is to connect all or most of the humans everywhere to the network, to co-opt their neural capacity - It is Life's Thinking Machine going on here, first and foremost - but just like in an individual brain, when thinking becomes TOO ONE WAY, it becomes unstable and can quickly fall apart. Thus the need for counterbalance.

~~~~~~~~

Real People** act as the true and only counterbalance to this one-way (wrong-way) thinking that is going on on this planet at this time. The ONLY CHANGE possible here, is for sheeple to SNAP OUT OF IT! And then for hummers to SNAP OUT OF IT! And then for people to SNAP OUT OF IT, and join the ranks of the Real People for whom, in whom, there is NO going back, NO backsliding, No whining, No complaining, and no more daydreams about how the world needs to change a goddamn thing!

There is another shade of this that is worth mentioning and that is:
BEFORE the Interwebs (which did not gain real force and power in the world until after 2000 A.D., and hit the first significant crescendo in 2008 - with two major events, 1) the advent of worldwide smartphone technology into the hands of the common collective, and 2) the crash of the world's major financial systems, that are still suffering the effects and have NOT YET fully recovered (some areas of the world are still in great decline)...
THERE WAS all the great religions which have amassed at least 80% of the world's populations, disseminating their particular brands of group-think upon the masses. It is well-known to certain linguistic anthropologists who think Religion (all kinds, any kind) is a language-virus that rewrites pathways in the brain, and that dulls critical thinking. (He-he-he... he said "dulls critical thinking".) Hey, religions are just like the Interwebs, except they are not as effective, not as efficient, and their operations are not as quick, but both - Religions and the Interwebs - are currently IN PLAY, because of their necessity to the aims and goals of Life.

~~~~~~~~

So, summarizing for the moment: Human brains are simply "too big for their own damn good" and NEED to be dumbed-down lest they explode themselves, and their planet, before it's TIME. Religion has been doing it for a couple thousand years, with pretty good success because the world was NOT as fast-acting as it is today. But now it's the Interwebs turn, because it has become absolutely REQUIRED, and it is proving successful, every day and in every way, only to get better and better and better. You wait: with "RFID tech" implanted on your wrist, forehead, above the ear, a few millimeters into your temporal lobe - wherever (and believe THIS, the masses will stand in line for hours to get theirs!) - you, TOO, can be jacked-in 24-7-365, with full-on voice-tech operation first, and thought-tech operation later on, such that mankind will be KEPT at a stable frequency of vibration that will achieve all the AIMS and GOALS of our dear, dear Master of the Universe...

Life on Earth with a Plan: Man 

**Real People: reviewing the scale of humanity from bottom to top: Sheeple - who are dead asleep to all of this and don't know it; Hummers - whistling past the graveyard of their lives thinking everything is A-Ok for the time being, but slightly Awake to the real "reality of their situation", that their house is on fire and they can't get out; People - who are Awake to this reality, but still can not keep from drifting off into daydreams, lies, storytelling, siding with politicians, protesting for change in the world, getting burned, and then putting themselves out, etc., etc.; and Real People.

The Big RED and BLUE Beast

It should not come as any surprise that ALL the news organizations on this here little blue planet - on the "left", "right", "middle" and elsewhere - exist for three main purposes: 1) Sell advertising 2) Sell advertising 3) Sell advertising; and ALL of them, the people - whether mainstream or off-mainstream, or off-off-off-mainstream - are just creamin' their shorts right now, and every single time a Major News Event takes place, and for the last TWO weeks it's been the...

RNC and DNC

Republican and Democratic
Nat'l Conventions

This includes ALL the reporters, and support people on the sidelines who help to create and disseminate the reports, as well as ALL those on the side of the sidelines criticizing and commenting upon those reports, ad nauseum and ad infinitum long into the next DAYS. They are not interested in distributing or sharing "Breaking News" to "educate the audience" (they only SAY they are), but to attract more eyeballs and earholes to their particular outlet, so that they (balls and holes) watch the next several commercials being queued up right now, plus the next few stories on deck which are always teased just prior to breaking away... thus increasing their audience numbers, and thus their advertising revenues. And one more thing, of course: to keep the internal chatter revved up in all the participants as close as possible to the red line.

The side issue, that is never talked about, and scarcely even realized by 99% of those engaged in that line of work, or any other for that matter - and this is the main focus of this piece and all others in this here little blog - is that during these events, The Great Ones, and the not-so-great ones even, the amount of TALK increases to a level absolutely unseen at other times, and in most other lines of work. There is just more to TALK about, more details to spin, twist and turn, comment, re-share, re-tweet, like, love,  dislike, hate, and yada yada yada, in the heads of more people, and everyone wants to share in that activity, because, frankly, it makes their little gray BRAINS tingle, almost orgasmically. The ENERGY of these great events moves around the planet, from head to head to head, across the airwaves, and in just a few short minutes, damn near everyone on the planet who CAN be aware, IS NOW aware of what has happened, and they all have become suitably GLUED to their "news sources of choice", like any addict to his pusher. And more importantly, they discover thoughts, beliefs, theories, speculations, comments, criticisms and all sorts of other noises bouncing around in their brains about the EVENT in question. JUST LIKE THEY ARE MADE TO DO.

The human species, when thought of as a gigantic BRAIN surrounded by several billions of appendages - your entire body is one, his is one, hers is one, mine is one - is pulsating, undulating, and shining brilliantly on this planet (which, by the way, can only be fully appreciated off-world with elevated senses) like some monstrous, semi-intelligent organism of trillions and trillions of interconnected neural structures (just as YOUR brain in your head is, though on a comparatively nano-scale), sucking and fucking, eating and shitting, and talking a BIG BLUE STREAK about tens of millions of things, every second of every day (what a cacophony!) And you might think, this is for the primary purpose of "smartening up" the Being being discussed, and perhaps that is true, but perhaps not. That is, in all those who continually "take a side" - having a dog in the fight as it were - it is NOT so true, but in all those who can STAND ASIDE, and watch... observe... LOOK... LISTEN... always trying to comprehend and understand what is going on... IN LIFE ITSELF... and in the minds of the people who continually take sides...It Does.... and does that includes YOU?

Oh yeah... who are YOU going to side with this November 8, 2016?

Thinking about "thinking"

It is a very rare person indeed who seriously thinks about their own thinking. Most (the 99%) take it all for granted. Their brains itch a bit, their throat tickles, and the next thing you know words are pouring out their mouths and/or fingertips, and they don't wonder about what happened. Not even a little bit. They do, however, completely identify themselves with those thoughts. That is, they say, "Those are my thoughts; I am responsible for those thoughts; I thought them, and that's what I think right now."

But that is not "thinking about their own thinking". That is taking them completely for granted, as if their thinking is good, and proper and has a point. But the sad fact is, they are 99% wrong. Their "thinking" is NOT real Thinking in the sense that it can be known in some few individuals (perhaps 1%). It is more like the sounds of scratching on the walls while you are trying to sleep... like there is something trying to get OUT, or worse, get IN, and because they can't comprehend that possibility, and can't perceive the "entity" responsible for the noise in their heads, they believe the "entity" and themselves are ONE and the SAME. But the sad fact is, they are 99% wrong.

To put this in a slightly different frame: rather than continuing to TELL other people WHAT to think, and HOW to feel, about this or that topic, person, place or thing (in your peculiarly non-subtle passive-aggressive way - which it certainly is, and everyone can see it, even if they don't mention it) better to, first, discover for oneself how to NOT THINK and NOT FEEL in any particular way to any and all topics, and second - if you must, if you have to - perfect that discovery into Actions that can subtly Awaken those around you who might still be willing and able.

Unfortunately, those who are not willing, and not able, will not understand, and not comprehend anything anyway, whereas (fortunately) those who ARE willing and able become almost instantly known to you, and therein lies the Real Possibility that is Thinking, or put the right way in this context, Speaking.

Speaking is the highest aspiration of man on earth - though very few know that - and NONE of the other creatures that have ever been known to exist here, could Do That. Speaking, is absolutely, a thing which must be DONE . If it only happens - usually by the accidental arrangement of forces and circumstances that motivates the brain into action - then it is all but worthless, just little mouth noises amounting to no more than well-articulated (sometimes, hopefully) grunts, groans, whines and whistles, with the occasional sniff, snort, and cough for emphasis... conveying nothing meaningful in any case.

The next great discovery (after NOT thinking and feeling - automatically, mechanically - about any thing, evolves into Action) is how to elevate all action, into True Performance, or put the right way in this context, Acting - always and everywhere.

Sheeple, Hummers, People: "Who AM I?"

Esoterically speaking, if you are not on a path to "enlightenment" (in reality - not just imagination - which demands understanding the term, and forging your OWN path), then you are living in the realm of the temporarily dark and dank (for 70 or 80 years or so, if you're "lucky?"), at least until all the rest of your molecules become food for tiny bugs, plants and organisms, and what remains is mostly indeterminate.

This is certainly an Unsuitable path for Real People.

The temporarily dark and dank is good enough for hummers (who still have some options) and sheeple (who have none) - both of whom living their entire lives as others dictate, who think what others suggest, who do as others demand, and remain clueless about any of this - but for people... REAL People who are Aware, Conscious, Possessed of will, Real I, Capable of long thought, Deep meditation, High contemplation (and other probably imaginary-for-most things like that)...

Not on your LIFE!

Hummers and Sheeple don't know REAL People for "who and what they are in reality", and the first CLUE is that if they are asked to "define real people", they will instantly demonstrate their total ignorance by claiming TO BE ONE.

Sheeple are not REAL People. They are like children - day and night crawlers living in a dream world, whining and complaining about themselves and their lives - forever rooting around sniffing for an ass or hand to kiss, and always trying to satisfy their basest instincts and desires like there is no tomorrow! Tomorrow for them, is maybe moving to Hummerville.

Hummers are not REAL People either. They are like young teenagers - the fakes, phonies, wannabes, who, just like sheeple, are all dressed up, in their proper "People Suit" (with a sampling of race, creed, color, gender and national origin) but who don't understand or comprehend their Primary Features and Characteristics having to do with Consciousness, Awareness, Will, Meditation, Contemplation - and like sheeple, are mostly occupying their short time here just trying to satisfy as many of their basest instincts and desires as possible, like there is no tomorrow! Tomorrow for them, depends upon Today!

REAL People - are the few who are still walking around and healthy enough to be seen and observed by anyone who can find them, but only REAL People can recognize them for who they are. And, as the sage once said - several times on several occasions -

"You cannot leave a place until you know where you have been; 

you can't say goodbye until you know the place."

Sheeple, Hummers, People - Static Triad

After many years of observing our "human world" - me, in IT; and IT, in me - I have concluded, tentatively, that there are at least THREE DISTINCT levels of what are called, Homo Sapiens, (human beings) having to do, not so much with genetics, but regarding basic, day-to-day, walking-around levels of consciousness.

Thousands of observations, and hundreds of experiments were made and gathered within my own extended family (parents, siblings, and surrounding genetic similitudes); various cliques and social groups (with whom I spent a couple "interesting/depressing" decades); a few so-called (by themselves alone) "Conscious Groups/Schools" (that were mostly unsatisfying to say the least); and ONE "Group of Friends" (only one) which made no such claims about themselves, but turned out to be the "Best of the Bunch".  Thinking and writing about all of this for a couple decades, has indicated to me that there are these THREE DISTINCT levels, and I have been using them for quite some time, and will be sticking to them until conditions or observations require a change... to wit:  

Sheeple, Hummers, and People 

And it is a Static Triad

Sheeple and Hummers don't know about or recognize People, while People do know about and do recognize those below them. Yes, this is a value judgment, but what is Life without a little Judgment?

The percentages of Sheeple, Hummers, and People are changing almost week by week, if not month by month, but that distinction depends upon one's "Powers of Observation and Non-Attachment". 

Sheeple are "dead asleep" and don't know it, acting and appearing more like the walking dead, than simply sleep-walkers who can be found making sandwiches at 3am without realizing it, or even driving cars to bars without accident, also without realizing it. Both versions are the great unwashed and unlearned masses that eat, fuck, shit, watch TV, go to one or more day/night job(s), complain about their lives and everything else, while saying "the world OWES me a living!", and repeat until death, without having even the faintest idea that there is MUCH more to life than satisfying their instinctive desires.  

Percentage 65%, give or take.

Hummers are those who are caught between "dead asleep" and "half awake", but have awoken SOMEWHAT (somehow, some way) to their dismal plight-on-earth just enough to KNOW that other life forms (family, friends, enemies, strangers and everyone else) are NOT ALWAYS the cause of their misery and stupidity, but NOT ENOUGH to know what to DO about it. So, they spend their lives talking out their asses about things they really know nothing about, as if they do.  

Percentage 30%, give or take.

People are those who have awoken sufficiently to realize there are actually "Ways and Means" to raise their level of being above that of the dim-witted tools and fools with whom they share this planet, but NOT ENOUGH to have fully actualized that new, desired state of "Conscious Mind", and "Realized Being".  

Percentage, 3%, give or take.

People^REAL are those few remaining 2% or so, whom we don't know (most likely), have never met personally (most likely), and don't have their private cellphones numbers or home addresses, but if presented with an "opportunity" to visit one, having discovered a flyer on a telephone pole for instance, or a pop-up message on a weird or strange or even mainstream Webpage, would RECOGNIZE the clues and signs (which would most definitely be there), and most importantly the "inner signals (voices perhaps, visions perhaps) screaming

 "Do It!"

"Hummer Lives Matter"

There is an increasing drumbeat in America these days for all the "senseless killing" to CEASE, NOW, and all those calling for it feel totally justified, even righteously indignant about the whole topic. "I mean, WHO in their 'right mind' could want other than that?"

Okay, you asked... there is another view some can and do take and it is this: Things in America, and the rest of the world, are occurring in the ONLY WAY they can occur, and when seen as a major river flowing downhill from the highest mountain (call it higher worlds, the future, or whatever), to believe that the course of THAT river can possibly be changed, even a tenth of a degree, is to believe that the deuce of clubs can be turned into the ace of clubs simply by conscripting (or guilt-tripping) enough protesters to gang up on the sidelines and chant:

"What do we want?" - "Course change!" 

"And when do we want it?" - "Now!" 

"HLM!" (Humdrum Lives Matter!)

The problem is IDENTIFICATION** in 99% of hummers in the world, particularly of their race, creed, color, gender and national origin - and this has always been the case, for thousands of years. Those who engage in crimes AGAINST others (for one, though the downside effects of identification are far and wide, and too numerous to mention here) are simply not thinking properly, and nothing interferes with the ability to Think Properly than Identification. A non-identified mind is an Awakened mind, an Independent mind, or at least a more highly evolved mind than the lowly state of the rest of the Hummer Species, running around screaming "Black Lives Matter" while ignoring conditions in Chicago, or shooting up a late-night Orlando Gay Bar, or stalking and sniper-killing a handful of Police Officers in Dallas, etc., etc.

All of this is becoming the New Normal.

Since this problem (identification) is what dictates the Flow and Direction of the Great River from the High Mountain, it should be obvious what a Properly Thinking, Awakened, Independent Mind is up to. Having overcome the mechanical tendency to identify with absolutely everything - especially race, creed, color, gender and national origin - and now being quite able to be Selective and Discriminating in all things, engaging in group think/chant protests - either internally in a group of identified I's, or externally in a mob of identified hummers - would never again be considered.

The course change desired or demanded by the masses will NEVER HAPPEN, certainly NOT until the mechanical tendency to identify with everything is all but eliminated, precisely in those DEMANDING IT! But that is not going to happen overnight, or over the next month or year, or even decade. The change would be too abrupt and too extreme. This kind of change takes generations, and must ALWAYS begin with you, yourself, in this moment. Short of that - if you can't do that, and stop complaining about the world as YOU perceive it, but START SPEAKING about the world as a CONSCIOUS BEING perceives it - then nothing will ever change.

One last note: The UPSIDE effect of all this increased whining and moaning and complaining and criticizing in the masses (due mostly to identification) is the Neural Activity in all brains is on the INCREASE. That is a very good thing, actually. The main effect of being asleep at the wheel, is a DECREASE in thinking often to the point of running the same couple/few words, phrases, sentences at most, over and over in a LOOP. Increased neural activity - meaning, more and more of the masses are actually beginning to THINK about these issues confronting the world - will naturally result in a FEW of them, here and there, accidentally Waking Up to the FACT that they are quite asleep at the wheel most of the time, and suddenly desire to STOP IT! NOW!

That is a change than CAN occur, and that change would not be too abrupt or too extreme, but quite the opposite.... just what the Doctor (WHO?) ordered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**"When we begin to observe emotions particularly, but really all other functions as well, we find that all our functions are accompanied by a certain attitude; we become too absorbed in things, too lost in things, particularly when the slightest emotional element appears. This is called identification. We identify with things." PDO

"Humming past the graveyard"

The Hummers on this planet (no longer referring to them as Peeps - for that would imply something I no longer believe) continue to MISS the most important thing about "knowing", "understanding", "intelligence", "evolution", "consciousness", "awakening", "sleep", etc., and that is NOT only because they don't really understand each of those words - having only a rudimentary, dictionary-based, partially-conceptual view about each of them (and practically all other non-tangibles out there) - but because all that enters them from their senses, particularly the eyes and ears, is almost immediately VOMITED out onto their idiotic Facebook and/or Twitter streams (hoping to what... impress their pseudo friends?) before proper digestion, absorption, transformation and further refinement can occur. Yes Fred & Mary, where do you think "food for thought" came from?

ONLY after such has properly proceeded, fully, can one achieve that degree of Knowing, Understanding, Intelligence, Evolution, etc., they believe they achieve now, today, as they are. This is a false belief, based upon no real evidence, just faith. "Hey Bob, I read a few paragraphs of that webpage, and watched a few minutes of that video, so I Know what's up, I Understand all of it, I'm Intelligent enough, and therefore I am probably/properly Evolving!" Really Fred? Really Mary?

All one has to do is spend 20 minutes (or less, which is usually quite enough - phew!) scrolling DOWN their Facebook and/or Twitter stream - usually consisting of mind-dumps from your friends, pseudo-friends, strangers and their re-shares, re-tweets, and re-plys, with a scant few actual "thought pieces" from their OWN Brain (having done some ACTUAL Work in there) - to realize that the Hummers are just doing what Hummers do (humming past the graveyard to keep their "smiley faces" intact).

This behavior of those who comprise our world of Humanity - such as it is - is simply LAZINESS in the extreme. They are, generally, not stupid, disabled, broken, dimwitted, damaged - though some certainly are, that's obvious - they are just LAZY, plain and simple. And this laziness has not suddenly come upon them like a cold or flu from out of nowhere, but has developed over decades of misuse and underuse, leaving their brain's capacity for Real Thinking & Consideration reduced to blather, and more blather, about nothing that PEOPLE ("my Peeps") care anything about... and the hummers don't care, even if it's pointed out them. If it is, they will instantly explain it all away... as if to say, "Hey Bob, what I'm doing... that's a Good Thing... you just don't get it!" Really Fred? Really Mary?

Any advice, here, would be unnecessary, because what can be said beyond, "More Effort! More Effort!" which only a stupid hummer would fail to realize anyway. Those who ASPIRE to something more, than what the hummers want - sex, drugs, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, money, fame, popularity, and all the other such intellectual, emotional and spiritual depressants - know what to do, and they are DOING IT NOW.

They are Our Peeps and worthy of help

 from wherever it may arise.

"The Unnameable Truth"

All humans aspire to all sorts of physical and non-physical things too numerous to mention here, and besides you only have to look to yourself for a comprehensive list... and in this regard, one list is as good as another. But - and I must emphatically repeat, But - none of them will include the ONE THING that can not be named, though it is in fact the ONE THING to which all humans everywhere aspire without really knowing it... and that is... "The Unnameable Truth".

Short of that, what does anyone actually HAVE? Not much, except for a fairly well-functioning body/brain system (at least until it slips over that ever-approaching edge of doom into a highly predictable - and when it starts occurring - accelerating decrepitude in all areas of their existence), a few scattered memories of the past and very recent present, and a lot of talk, talk, talk about nothing at all.

Really Mr. or Ms. Human Example of the highest potential this planet (apparently) has spawned in the last several millennia, is THAT all there is?

That is the Question to which there is no Known Answer - and thus is called, "The Unnameable Truth". So what is human life, that lasts but a few eyeblinks, with a little pain and pleasure thrown in for good measure, and the same ignorance at the end,  as there was at the beginning?

Human life is Potential; unfulfilled, unrealized, only dreamt about and aspired to, without one ever being fully able to give adequate voice to any of it. So, realizing this, a few humans have moved whole bodily, whole heartedly and whole mindfully into the Arts - the fine arts, and the practical arts. If lucky, and persistent, some reach a level of satisfaction and success that could be called "An Answer" of sorts, or "The Truth" of a kind. But, unfortunately for most humans today - being fully embedded in the electronic/digital/information age - they can never attain these results due to the primary reason, that they are now completely distracted, confused and confounded all day long, and for most of the night for their entire lives, and the secondary reason, that they actually prefer distraction, confusion and confoundedness, so they pursue drugs, intoxicants, and addictions of all kinds so as to avoid these ideas entirely. They simply can not get a "leg up", because Life - operating through everyone - keeps dragging them down, into mindless entertainment, and pointless information, none of which leads them to where they WANT to go... to the heights of their ASPIRATIONS.

It is thus, NOT the point of this thing - a kind of art - to reveal precisely WHAT IS "The Unnameable Truth", as that would be ridiculous, but to start focusing on the reasons we can not know it, can not even begin to approach it... but NOT because our fairly well-functioning body/brain system is incapable - because it certainly IS capable - BUT because it has not been prepared for the SHOCK WAVES that would ensue were we to eventually GET a "leg up" and start the Walk of a Lifetime.

Where to begin, where to begin, eh?

Hint:Sculpture.
