Life is a serio-comedic affair

And, it is due primarily to the Impreciseness of Language.

If someone was to try to tell you or anyone how to enter a state of "walking meditation", or "unadorned consciousness", or "enlightenment", or "nirvana" (call it what you will, and there are probably 50 other names/phrases to pick from), and how to maintain that state always and everywhere, and how to quickly return to it if and/or when necessary or desirable, they couldn't do it beyond simply saying to you, (after you've read the above 'setup')

"Just do it - Awaken - and do it often."

Many have tried, and though the quantity of books in print number into the hundreds of thousands or more (not to mention the millions of audio and video tapes available now), they all say, basically, the same thing: after all the blah, blah, blah..., "Now folks, Just do it, and do it often." Well, with the one big caveat: there will always be thousands of words defining the Hows, Whys and Wherefores. This is all due to the impreciseness of language, and after all of that blah, blah, blah, nobody will have the faintest idea WHAT to do, WHY to do it, or HOW to do it! After fifty or a hundred or a thousand years LATER (mind you), the sad and hapless "followers" will still be arguing over the tiny details, the meanings of all the words, and Facebook and Yahoo groups will have millions and millions of Sleeping, Sheep-like members!

The reason for some of this should be obvious. In order for humans to increase their numbers cooperatively they need to have a common "set" of words for the objects in their world, which are perceived similarly, due to the similarity of their nervous system's five ordinary senses. All ordinary, normally functioning humans can perceive a tree, as a tree, and then they can grunt, or make other kinds of mouth-noises to, even if only quite temporarily, label that perception, and they can teach that noise to others, who over time - extending for decades or even centuries - can refine them into what more modern versions of themselves eventually compile into their "language", their "mother tongue". Then, they invent and develop Writing and appropriate-to-the-task Media for transmitting and storing it for later use. But for communicating "feelings", "sensations", "consciousness", "awareness", "enlightenment", "nirvana" and all the rest of the non-objective (non-physical, can't touch 'em, i.e., subjective) aspects of "being human"... well, surprise, surprise... we are virtually out of luck, and so the really BIG PROBLEMS begin for those who want to delve deeper into those aspects and "talk about them with friends".

You see? Language is the problem for humans who want to break out of the box of their own ignorance. The "solution", in case someone wants to consider this a bit deeper than will now be detailed, is to invent your OWN LANGUAGE based not upon words that must be spoken or written to be communicated, but upon "sensational feelings", or "feeling sensational!", that have almost no possibility of being communicated, and just let it go at that. This "epiphanic mind music" (so to speak, in my "lingo", having a long-time interest in experimental, avant-garde Jazz Improvisation of all kinds) has a mysterious (to everyone else, not so much for oneself) way of "re-organizing matter and energy" inside and outside the physical body. From one real view, it keeps them at the height of personal, subjective, physical "health" as much as their genetics and native intelligence allow. But it also, mysteriously, extends and expands their Mind, to encompass greater and greater periods of human time - to "see" into the past, and into the future, of oneself in particular AND mankind in general.

Even - to some degree - Life Itself.

Language, and its often misused, misshapen, malformed, mechanical, and overly mouthy use by humans, makes IDIOTS, even ridiculous idiots of all and everyone, at least until one or another of them "wakes up" to what Life has been doing through Humanity (and their language centers) for the last many thousands of years. That's when they discover the "Secret: STFU" about practically EVERYTHING, but that which actually matters to them personally.

This could be called:

taking the RIGHT things personally, and not

taking the WRONG things personally,

(which is, apparently, an acquired skill to say the least!)

As for the serio-comedic nature of Life - after all the above is grokked, and much more you'll just have to grasp for yourself... Everything that ordinary humans are talking about today (and are posting billions of tweets, messages, and emails into the Cloud like there is NO tomorrow), that they honestly believe is "Really Serious Shit" which they will gladly come to blows over if someone disagrees with them... from politics, to religion, to science, to climate change, to fracking for oil and gas, to wars, threats of wars, famines, radical pseudo-religious terrorism of all kinds, and all the rest of it... can easily be seen as silly, humorous, laughable, and not worth the time it takes to think about it, talk about it, or write long essays about it, UNLESS you can actually do something about it. Thus...

Awakening, because you know you Need To,

is the ONLY Serious Matter worthy of one's further consideration.

An Awakened People is Beneficial to Life,

and it is beneficial to you.
