"Know thyself---Nothing too much".

                                                                            Epilogue

          I am going to leave this here for now.  

          The title are the words of the Ancient 'Oracle of Delphi' and parallel, auspiciously, "Seeing into One's Self".  "Nothing too much" means that One can NEVER `Know` every microscopic detail of one's Body and Mind,,, further, it implies the Necessity of Prolonged Duration.  This 'This' does NOT mean there can't ever be a Time of Relaxation and Contentment,, indeed there are island paradises and desert oasis(s) where Suffering is simply a mere and faint odor/fragrance of atmospheric Intimacy, a gentle reminder, as it were, of Future Treks into the Unknown, treks that can reveal the Strength of One's Inmost Sanctity.

Spiritual Synergism

           Dr. Joseph Campbell, in his The Hero With A Thousand Faces, inspires Us by claiming the "Inward Journey" "...is for EVERYONE".  I don't disagree but there are `components of valuation` that reflect discomfort in the Exercise of `Good{ly} Intention-ed` Will.   Some Folks value Ease and Comfort and object to ANY Exercise regardless of its Positive Results.   The Difficulties of Sustained Exertion seemingly disqualify them from Self Reflection and Self Penetration.   These Folks are to be regarded with nothing less than Superior Compassion---we OWE this sort of Humanity to Them AND OURSELVES.  [To be True to Ourselves MEANS to be True to Others.]   However, they SHOULD be introduced to the Benefits of even MODEST Training because their Self Enrichment---Enriches ALL of Us by dint of Spiritual Synergism .   Not only are All of Us 'connected' we are Enmeshed due to our Human-Ness.  

          I {personally} find it increasingly Imperative to introduce Buddhism to the Un-Initiated.  Indeed, the "9th SUPER-Power of a Bodhisattva" is,  "Making people turn towards the Buddha's Teaching and [then] Guiding them to Perfection [Enlightenment]".   "Making" is rather a strong `term` since it is synonymous with "Forcing" which is NOT within Buddhist Canon ANYWHERE.   The Introduction at its most Ideal occurs when interested folks ASK about Buddhism.  Here is is where query necessitates GENEROUS Solicitude.  

Call me Gale----Gale Force

           The Kung Fu Disciple begged of the Master, "But if I look truly, will I SEE Truly".  The Master assured him, "It can be done".

          Here, I MUST issue a "Gale Force" warning.   "It" >> the Advance into previously unexplored territories <<  is CHARGED with SUPERNATURAL Energies DESPITE those Energies being of HUMAN Origin, meaning, the Energies of the Mind contain the Power of ANIMAL Instinctuality, "left over" from the discharge of what Levy-Brul refers to as the [le]  "Participation Mystique", a discharge from which true ConsciousNess was then manifested.  It can be said that ConsciousNess SUPPLANTED this UnConscious Animalism.  [It remains a Mystery as to HOW this `supplantation` was actually achieved.]

          Be advised, there are EXTRAORDINARY Difficulties when Mind attempts to 'view' Mind.  [Recall the word 'noumenon'].  These Difficulties are surmounted by "UNRELENTING EXERTION", which happens to be the "7th SUPER-Power of a Bodhisattva".    Here it is, and Here it MUST BE, that Desire-to-Change finds Resource in PHYSICAL Discipline and Spiritual Devotion [to one's Self].  

          I shrt, "Ya gotta wanna".

           It's imperative to 'See', [Realize] {Real Eyes} that We Create the Reality in which We live.   Therefore it is Necessary to Inventory the Sensory Inputs that Influence our Existence not only at a Conscious Level but on the Sub-Conscious and UnConscious Levels as well.  This is no easy task.   Here it is where "Looking Into One's Self" DEMANDS the Strength and COURAGE to look into the Mirror and See "TRULY".  Not only That, but in order to enter the Realms of Health, it may be that CHANGE is required in order to Be "ALL you can be" which is code for, "Being at Peace with One's Self and In Harmony with ALL things".   

          Dr. Allen Wheelis Insists that one must know `where` one is, BEFORE any Change can be implemented.  Here it is where `knowing who you are and of what you are made` is a Necessary "First Step" in the Exploration toward "Self Fulfillment".   Here it is where Delusion, SELF Delusion,, becomes an Obstruction that inhibits and (may) prevent (s) Advance into the Realms of Clarity and Clear-MindedNess.  Here it is where Excuses act as emotional (almost Pathological) "barbed wire".   Here it is where "If Only" acts as Determiner of Unqualified and Qualified Failure, so much so that superior debilitation results FROM  a rabidly aggressive posture of Victim-Ness.  "If Only magnIFIES "It's NOT my fault".   Here it is where "That's Just The Way It Is" harbingers a Misery and Suffering that Denies NECESSARY Adaptations of (to) Self that would result in FAVORABLE Re-Conditioning.

"Seeing Into One's Self"

          {Needful} to say, If Mind "creates the Nature of the Universe" Then Mind also 'creates' the Nature of out Planet's 'Universe'.  I have offered the Perspective that "One's Self" is, the Self of the Universe, that Penetration into "One's Self" is EQUAL to Penetration into the Universe's Self, which `renders` Human ConsciousNess   AS   Universal   ConsciousNess.    Here  it  is  where  "I AM"  is  shrt-form  of  "I AM  >> the Universe".   In the Same Way that one's Body can be 'Trained' so it is with one's Mind.   We Train our Bodies because we desire Health, so too must the Mind be Trained in order to achieve a "Well-Ness" that is marked by Balance, Harmony and Peace,,, a Mind that advantages Level and Plumb, a Mind whose Orientation is `To` the Cardinal Points of Utopian Idealism, [among them] Virtue, Nobility, Grace and above all "Spirituality".

                                                                               Prologue

          Master Fortin sent me an article from "Scientific American" ,,  its February 2022 issue.  The penman, Adam Becker, reports on the newest Theory(s) of 'Space and Time' and of topic, new `Thinking` that Space and Time are NOT "Fundamental" but are [ever] emergent, "...they could arise from the structure and behavior of more basic components of nature".   I settled deeper into Chairy-Chair and  considered the `Import`.  In a few scant seconds, "You create your own Perceptual Reality", surfaced with full recommendation and with it, "The Nature of the Universe is created by 'Mind' alone".  

          'It' didn't stop there.  I kwikly {quiqly}`saw` that Planetary 'Mind' `does` the exact 'Same Thing', meaning, Planetary Consciousness, the Collective Conscious{Ness} of Earth, derived from its Human Population, also generates "Perception" in the exact same `Way`.  

          I am inclined to remove "Perceptual" in order to focus on the seeming Confusion and Opacity of Reality, perhaps an ultimate Concrete of Foundational Existence, a one that is suppose-to "be agreed upon" by individuals of said `Collective` but presently is Ignored by MILLIONS upon BILLIONS who favor an `Advantage{ment}` of non-Scientific Emotional Subjectivity.  Here it is where Truth is NOT considered Important to Existence but Pathological Delusion IS.

          

The so-called "Hot Feed"

                                                                              Epilogue

           I must leave this This here.  

           Care MUST-BE Exercised with regard to History and Its Lessons.  Here, "Care" is the Observance of  [Universal]  Principles of Growth that abound in Nature as NATURAL EXTENSIONS of HUMAN ConsciousNess.  It is Human ConsciousNess that acts as either Definer of Reality or DENY-ER !
