OUT OF YOUR MIND AND GOOFY

 IF YOU ARE OK GETTING, AND NOT OK NOT GETTING, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF GETTING.

IF YOU ARE OK HAVING, AND NOT OK NOT HAVING, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF HAVING.

IF YOU ARE OK BEING HAPPY, AND NOT OK BEING UNHAPPY, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF HAPPINESS.

IF YOU ARE WHEN AT PEACE, AND NOT OK WHEN NOT AT PEACE, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF PEACE.

IF YOU ARE NOT OK LOST IN A DESERT, SLOWLY DYING, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

IF YOU ARE NOT OK BEING ALIVE, AND NOT OK BEING DEAD, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF LIVING.  

IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY BEING NO ONE, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF BEING SOMEONE.

IF YOU ARE NOT OK BEING NO THING, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF BEING SOMETHING.

IF YOU OK WITH EXISTENCE, AND NOT OK WITH NON-EXISTENCE, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF EXISTENCE.

IF YOU ARE OK BEING AN ENERGY-FORM, AND NOT OK NOT BEING AN ENERGY FORM, YOU ARE A SLAVE OF FORM.

IF YOU ARE OK BEING ENERGY, AND NOT OK NOT BEING ENERGY, YOU ARE A SLAVE OF ENERGY.

IF YOU ARE OK IN SILENCE, AND NOT OK IN NO SILENCE, YOU ARE A SLAVE OF SILENCE.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

IF YOU ARE OK WITH WHAT IS AND ISN’T, WITH WAS AND WASN’T, AND WITH WHAT WILL BE AND WON’T BE, YOU ARE LIBERATED.  WHICH ALSO MEANS, YOU ARE OK BEING LIBERATED AND NOT LIBERATED.

WHICH MEANS YOU ARE OK AND NOT OK WITH THINGS AS THEY WERE, ARE, AND WILL BE.  WHICH MEANS YOU ARE OK WITH THE TRUTH, AND NOT OK WITH THE TRUTH.  WHICH, FINALLY MEANS: YOU’RE NOT OK UNTIL YOU HAVE NO PERSONAL PROBLEMS WITH LIFE.  YOU DO NOT TAKE LIFE PERSONAL.  YOU STOP BEING A PERSON AND BE LIFE ITSELF.  YOU REALIZE YOU ARE LIFE HAVING THE ADVENTURE OF A PERSONAL LIFE, AND WHEN YOU NO LONGER TAKE LIFE PERSONAL, AND ALL THAT IS LEFT IS LIFE DOING LIFE, AND YOU ARE THAT, AND ONCE YOU EXPERIENCE THAT, YOU ARE ALWAYS OK BECAUSE THERE IS NO YOU.  YOU WERE JUST A CREATION OF MIND, A MENTAL CONSTRUCT THAT APPEARS AND DISAPPEARS AS QUICK AS A THOUGHT.

WHAT’S THE VALUE OF KNOWING THAT?  WHAT’S THE TAKE AWAY?
YOU LAUGH AT YOURSELF FOR EVER HAVING TAKEN YOURSELF SERIOUSLY, AND LAUGH EMPATHETICALLY AT THEY WHO STILL DO, AND YOU SMILE KNOWINGLY AT YOUR KIDS AND GRAND KID’S MIND GAMES THAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE SERIOUS.

BOTTOM LINE: YOU GET THE JOKE LIFE IS PLAYING ON ITSELF, AND IT’S NOW DIFFICULT TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE AT EVERYTHING THAT IS LIFE.  WHICH MEANS, EVERYONE STILL ASLEEP, THINKS YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND AND YOU’RE NOW KIND OF GOOFY.
