Suggested Title: Episodic vs Conclusive Change
Change in The City - Apparent Frontiers
Ordinary change as "hobby" or as more seemingly "conclusive," to the city dweller.
How seemingly "conclusive" changes become meaningless to the one
on the apparent " personal frontier of change " (such as permanent weight loss).
Why semi-"conclusive" City changes end up being "no big deal" to the one who has
accomplished the change.
A non-ending inconclusive string of statements continue in the mind of the
so-called "changed one" that do not match up to the original frontier of
expectations. The "pay-off" may not be as hoped for due to the illusionary
nature of the original "frontiers" and imaginations.
The false idea that a person has of being able to change a fragmented
" piece" of themselves. ( see diagram 179A)
All city change as episodic instead of Real Conclusion.
City Consciousness believes that it is somehow terribly flawed
Illustration of a movie based on a tug boat carrying explosives that ignite
when exposed to water.
The illusion that man can throw away things he/she does not like about
themselves. ( like throwing the explosives overboard)
All people are designed to feel that they are lacking "something."
This idea or feeling of "lacking" turns into a desire to fix or throw away.
But the human cannot throw away or repair themselves as if they were
an automobile.
Life, for its own purposes has misdirected Man into this idea of the human flaw,
which keeps him constantly struggling.
The Revolutionist must see through this mis-guided "detour" map, and
stay focused on the Road of Life, without worry.
"Just Press On" must become the un-uttered Moto of the Revolutionist.
The Real Matter, is not the automobile, with its limited duration or its
noises under the hood, BUT, rather, it is a matter of Going Somewhere Else,
(another Destination in ones inner direction.)
A Technique for Going "Somewhere Else."
( see diagram 179B)
Human nervous system basically wired for two simple modes:
1) action. 2) thinking about action
These modes not sufficient for Real change.
The Revolutionist must apply a 3rd, (unknown in the city) response.
A process called "Willful Stalling."
Technique of pretending that no matter what happens, you Intended it to happen.
Result of using this technique implicates Real Change in the entire nervous system of the practitioner .
The "No whining" rule of dwelling on inconclusive statements such as:
How did this happen
Why did this happen
What does it mean
Willful Stalling Further Defined
Understanding that it is not ordinary "city stalling" which is based on fear of outcome, or ordinary desire to escape a situation.
Understanding that it is not ambivalence or the inability to act.
Understanding that it is not an attempt to delay or ignore.
Grasping that it is always a deliberate, willful refrain from taking the first two modes of ordinary human reaction to act or to think of acting.
Realizing the Technique as a willful interference with the ordinary, non-ending mental flow of non-conclusive statements/ possibilities that hi-Jack the nervous state of Man.
A form of Real deliberate Conclusion in terms of authentic Change to the nervous system of the practitioner.
Insight Into The so called "World of Human Ideas" along with their "Hope for a Gratifying Or Agreeable Change In The World.
City consciousness clings to the impossibility of original ideas being Preserved in the original form.
Illustration of the spelunking expedition that alters the cave.
Transference of original Source Ideas cannot continue unaltered.
Not a problem of communication, but of the Natural Flow of the Vibrancy of Life.
Why a Revolutionist must first Learn and then furnish his/her own Ideas of authentic Growth as evidenced in True un-episodic change within his own neural capacities.
Question: What is the Yellow Circuit actually doing in Man's Life ?
A wiring that is attempting to make the chaos of Life appear rational.
All so called educational systems/ fields of expertise/ PHD's are attempting to make Sense of the chaotic/unpredictable.
Any Real Idea that goes beyond the city consciousness threshold is inflammatory and causes fear.
A True Revolutionist invites these New Ideas and must remain Calm.
Consider the purpose of all human entertainment devices.
To Ponder: the definition of a comedian as, " a dominant mugger with a grin and no gun."
