The Parade

There is the Parade - the Primary Action that creates the world - and there is the ongoing, never ending, bystanding, eavesdropping, reporting, commenting, complaining, and criticizing - the Secondary Talking-about-that-action that destroys the world. This is simply a Fact that can not be seen, nor comprehended by the humans who are without a clue, being so embedded in the Secondary.

Awakening is simply having a clue,

inching ever closer to the Primary.

Humans would prefer to "take a side", and then "support and vigorously defend their position" which results in falling back to that state of Sleep the mystics railed against for so many centuries and more. They knew there was a built-in problem of being a human with a brain they couldn't control. They knew that taking a side is falling from the center path, where SEEING occurs - the Primary World - as distinct from the edges and near edges - i.e., the sides of the main road, the noisy and oblivious secondary world of blurriness, to extreme fuzziness, to near darkness, to completely asleep.

Stand up right now and get "centered". Focus on an object directly across the room. Close your eyes and slowly turn around three times, first clockwise, and then counterclockwise. Do the same with your feelings about the world around you: political beliefs, religious beliefs, scientific beliefs, metaphysical beliefs, conspiratorial beliefs, your beliefs about your personal sphere of "friends and family", your beliefs about your neighborhood, city, state, country and all of its supposed flaws, failings and shenanigans. Okay... all "centered now"? Open your eyes... are you facing the exact same direction and object that you started?

Now, notice how long in actual clock time it takes for you to FALL OVER and bang your head on the side of the world you can't get unstuck from. Feel the pain? Humans are ASLEEP in the direction(s) of their self-preferential behaviors, from thinking to feeling to sensation. And, believe it or not, there are thousands of ways to FALL, and only one way to get centered. This is so obvious it is surprising 99% of humans alive today don't understand it, and keep missing it. Every time some human gets into an argument with themselves or others about ANYTHING AT ALL, it's just another case of "Oooops, I missed it again." And, every time they pull a photo w/text (usually), or video w/speech (usually), that somebody ELSE originated to push their, usually quite identified position or point of view - and REPOSTS it onto some social media dumpsite - it is a full-on, in-your-face, REMINDER that "Oooops, I missed it again." Doesn't this sound like "Mankind is asleep", and then there is the addendum, "but CAN awaken"... but that too is another case of "Oooops, I missed it again."

Missed What? They've Fallen Over and can't get up, having strayed out the extreme edges somewhere, and are taking a side with which the SHEEPLE have become, yet again, totally identified. This can't be avoided, so long as you have a brain you can't "control", in the sense of "staying, at all times, perfectly centered", in the sense of "having no personal preference or bias". Of course Sheeple have no interest in any of that, which is what being sheep amounts to... following the herd, thinking and talking about that which the rest of the herd is thinking and talking about, and reposting it for some goddamn, quite unknown to them, reason. (Yes, whatever these humans actually do, the real motivations are totally unknown to them!)

There are Laws in force in this part of our solar system that dictate most of the movements of energy on this planet, both within and without living organisms, and NONE of those same living organisms realize what the HELL is going on (thus, as is often reported, "It's HELL on Earth!") And, rightfully so, because if they actually did - Understand it, Comprehend it, Profit by it - they would be AWAKE, and that would not work into the Greater Plan in which Life on Earth is preparing ITSELF for the future by UTILIZING the dimly lit and partially aware masses to do ITS bidding.

Those who are awake - compared to the rest who are both NOT interested, and NOT capable of awakening right now - have gained "some real control" over their functions, such that their higher neural functions, where conscious thought is "created" and "used" (though both words must be in quotation marks, at least for awhile) are nearly fully MATURE, unlike the masses whose higher neural functions might as WELL BE asleep, for all the good they are to them, in the sense that 1) they are not even partially activated, and 2) they are more like fetuses, than mature adults. WE ALL KNOW that a fetus is totally INCAPABLE IN EVERY WAY of understanding humans, the world, the universe, or anything else.... whereas Mature Adults not only invented quantum mechanics, but figured out how to split (fission) and fuse (fusion) atoms to cause a controllable chain reaction, not to mention comprehending the Big Bang, the Size/Age of the known Universe, AND that the entire Universe is Expanding!
 
This is HUGE beyond belief, and greater than most humans even have the ability to understand, YET it is not as HUGE as awakening in the midst of any generation. There are, however definite and REAL similarities in these processes that they can't discern for themselves (read: Fission, Fusion, Controllable chain reactions, Comprehending size, age, and movement), and therein lies their problem until death splits them into their constituent parts and gives it all back to the DIRT.
