Is there division or not?

Dear (...)

 

In the mood for an allegory.

 

A beggar finds out that he is a king. This knowledge changes his

behaviour as a beggar. He lives on like a beggar - knowing he is

a king. He behaves like a king and people wonder why. He is just

a beggar they say

 

Fine. I would fool the world if I said that I do not live in the

past. Whenever there is thinking taking place -- there is living

in the past, because thinking is founded in the past, in memory.

 

Although thinking takes place now - it is of the old and so what

actually is now - sans thought - is semi-noticed - semi-present.

 

This is living in parallel worlds. One is the world of thinking

(actual in that it is taking place now, here). The other is the

world of the actual without the interference of thinking (actual

in that it is taking place now). Some would say, and I am one of

them that the latter is the ultimate reality because thinking is

absent. No longer two worlds - just one. No longer half and half

- just one whole.

 

My errand has been all the way through to find out what is, when

all of the layers of the known have been removed, negated as the

not present, and therefore in a manner of speaking " false " . What

is there - the presence without thought - is an unknown presence

which can not be negated of course - and therefore - in a manner

of speech - is genuine, authentic, original, new.

 

The world of thought is the world of the beggar, and the kingdom

is the world without thought.

 

What the beggar can do then - is to live his life as a beggar in

a manner which reveals his true non-identity, that of a *king*

 

Thank you and thanks for not letting me off the hook, it is very

kind of you.

 

Love

Lene

 

PS.

I am not a preacher although I preach -- in no way on a mission

to change what is - or " what is " - in no way interested in some

transformation of the mind. I have avoided this all my life and

yet I speak as if it were possible to change the present! Which

it is NOT, evidently. Change is to do with the future, not with

what IS. And look! Of what use has it been, all the wishing and

wanting to change the world? It has be totally USELESS! Whooops.

 

Note this:

One cannot change what IS. That being a fact - how then can one

change what is to come? Do not fool yourselves, my friends.

 

Look - what change has come about in you through reading what I

have said? None.

 

Note this:

But thought says different. Thought says: come on - let her not

deprive you of your good hopes and wishes and wants for a world

that is humane! Where humans are actually humane - lend her not

an ear my friends! She is just a bundle of thoughts herself and

who thinks she she is, the she-devil, to have the guts and tell

the world which thoughts are the best the rightest, the truest?

Huh? Heh heh ...

 

" Lene " (actually no-one) loves you all
