"Out RAGE us," and so... he did!

(Top note: This bit - totally impromptu and ad hoc for the time and place in which WE live - is meant to be understood along two tracks, two ways of thinking: the ordinary mundane way that is common in the here and now, and the extraordinary, or at least NON-ordinary way that is not common at all... and so... he did!)

Information about "Awakening" and "Enlightenment" is supposed to be, designed to be, expected to be OUT-bloody-RAGEOUS, and extremely DIS-freakin'-RUPTIVE to your internal, ordinary "state of mind" - which is usually so bored and oblivious to 99% of everything experienced through the five senses (including eyes and ears) - that when REAL Info about these high-level concepts hits the higher ends of your neural net, they can (in some, not all of course) be processed, transformed and most importantly MOVED to more, let us say, protected areas. Generally, all the really good stuff is almost immediately trampled into the dirt (that "you" are, as in, what you EAT becomes "you") by the nay-sayers, negative-nellies, and know-nothings who rule most people's internal world (where "you" live.) This is why 99% of everything ever said or written, that at one time was taken as "enlightening ideas," are now taken as "Ho-hum, heard it all before, go tell someone who gives a crap!"

Real Information about these kinds of high-level concepts MUST BE new, fresh, and never heard or read before (i.e., not pre-digested), particularly by the individual receiving it, but generally by the larger group(s) of which they "are a part" (hang with.) Another way to say this is, if you sleep with dogs, you get everything dogs must deal with, like leftovers, non-government approved horse-meat and scraps from the servants tables. I.E., hang with people you respect, HIGHLY, by virtue of past experience with their thoughts and writings and sayings, and you run the "risk" of being able to correctly perceive the VALUE in things before the downer-dummies in you tear it all apart, again.

(Side note: this is why "Mr. Wild Hair" has become so very popular among the masses on "that end" of the political spectrum... NOT that he is talking about these "higher concepts" of course, but that he is saying things many have been thinking and talking about themselves, but it sounds almost NEW and OUTRAGEOUS. See? New and Outrageous WORKS!)

People everywhere know all of this, honestly, but they can't make the mental/emotional leap from the absolutely, totally irrelevant ideas (about the higher pursuits) and the Actually Pertinent to the higher pursuits, if not even CRUCIAL.

People, who say they are "Doing some 'work' for their higher being" must realize that New Information about these higher concepts means, NEW for this current generation, and thus "Awakening" and "Enlightenment" pertain to results achieved in the here and now, that the masses (who live mostly in the past and daydream about the future) can not achieve. It means awakening to a level which is HIGHER than those who went before, even as little as a century or half-century ago. Sure, they "may have been" sort of awake for their time and place, but their words and statements about it was for people of THEIR time and place, NOT suitable for people of OUR time, because this kind of New Information has a very short life-span, and the sooner people figure out precisely WHAT that means, the better. An "in your face" example of this is, "Jesus Saves", which for those people, THEN, was enlightening to say the very least, and life-changing at best - moving them off their dead-end, into a new life of higher possibilities. Today, for 21st century sorta schizoids and other similarly aberrational examples (as Humanity has become in this and the last century) "Jesus Saves" is a damn JOKE, and NOBODY cares or believes in it anymore.

(Bottom note: once upon a time I saw a flyer nailed to a telephone pole in several neighborhoods bordering and surrounding the "cool part of town" so, not having a camera, or the heart to rip it down... I made a fair facsimile of this clearly OUT-bloody-RAGEOUS attempt to find a few people who would actually find it, well, "interesting"..., and here it is.

(Below it is a way to find the Big Blue Door, 

should some of you care to visit.)

(DO note: haha... There is a fine distinction between TOO outrageous and JUST outrageous enough, and that is where so-called consciousness and wakefulness come into it, because TOO will not even be heard by anyone, but JUST very likely will (if they already suspected it before themselves.)
