Fragment of an unknown teaching

There are, basically, two groups of humans: 1) those who are not particularly interested, nor stimulated by the terms, "waking up", "enlightenment", "nirvana", etc., and 2) those who are most definitely interested and stimulated.

What happens next, for the second group, is the likely accumulation of books, over the course of the next few years or more, about those very topics, and a whole lot of talking about them, mostly to other people.

Now, there are, basically, two groups of humans previously grouped into the second group above: namely, 1) those who study the books they've accumulated, and presumably, the human of which those books are constantly referring (the author and his nearest cohorts - Jesus, Buddha, Gurdjieff, and countless others) and sometimes even, if they are "on the edge" of this distinction being made herein, themselves personally, and 2) those who study the thing which does the studying (the mind), which they somehow innately realize, could not proceed at all, EXCEPT for the thing they want to study - the mind.

Can you see the BLATANT, obvious difference?

One group couldn't care less about waking up, nirvana, self-improvement, and spend all their allotted days in worldly pursuits. Fine.

A second group cares a great deal about waking up, nirvana, self-improvement and spend many of their allotted days absorbed in studying specific books on those topics, hoping often to become experts, professors, teachers, and (hopefully) a few of their allotted days actually studying their "person", studying "themselves," though they do not study their ordinary consciousness, because they don't know how to do that yet. For both groups, studying the ideas is paramount.

But a small minority of the second group, actually a third group, though the numbers are often so small, as to be, statistically near-zero, go straight to the essence of the matter, DIRECTLY to the source of the confusion that initially divided humanity into two nameable groups. (The confusion regarding "who am I?" and "what is going on?", questions which have been "bothering" mankind for 5000 years.)

The direct way to knowledge, is NOT a "way" in the classic sense, as Buddhism is a "way" or Christianity is a "way." The direct way to knowledge is an ACTION - first and foremost - started by the conscious part of the brain, which MUST hear about it, before it can profitably undertake it, and consists of a "sentence fragment" that sounds something like: "...brain here...", which action occurs whenever thoughts are flowing therein, morning till night till death, or until the pooch finally sits down, while realizing he will instantly arise and chase some other attraction, unless you keep your eye (it keeps it's I) on him.

The direct way to knowledge, is the ACTION of branching out in the nervous system, which does not branch out naturally, as it spends all it's allotted days, finding out; (that is, answering questions, which it doesn't even realize are totally meaningless in the first place.)
