"Go on and step outside, see what's shakin' in the real world..."
- John Butler Trio
Introduction
This text is not for those that believe their definition of reality is the right one. This text is for those of you whom have discovered who they are and what they believe to be real is in fact not real This text is for those of you whom have realized that all actions done by you and all words spoken by you up to this moment, have made and will make equal impact to the same 'reality' without your explicit, specific and personal interaction with the outside world. This text is not presented as fact, but as a workable model. The concepts presented here are a mind method in by reading it and utilizing it as a method of thinking, you can look at life with new eyes and then decide what is real or not for yourself. How you have discovered that you are not real is not the theme of this book. I suggest, reading this book with an 'empty mind'. Take a deep breath, removing all common definitions you may have of reality. Infact, get used to the idea of remaking key definitions in your world. By doing this, you can align your mind with your body (align ungrounded flow with a steady constant) and in this, become real totally; not just a portion, but 100%. If you're reading this book without the realization that life as you see it is not real (the key words in that last half sentence is 'as you see it') then I suggest while reading this text - defend what you think you may see or perceive as real and make your world as you see it, a concrete realization.
If you do what you think then, great! You are what you do. Not what you think. Nor what you think you do. You are simply what you do.
- Zen Philosophy
(a destroying self-destructive behavior exercise). You are not a slave; do not treat yourself as one, as if you were on a throne in a strict hierarchical empire following strict rules within your kingdom of kingdoms within the mind, operating your body by remote control (unproven, separate, dead words). Rebel against yourself. Rebel against who you were trained to think to be. Reprogram your mind. Think in real. As long as we use words and pictures as words only to relay an expression of reality, there is nothing real to us. I am not real, you are not real. Our bodies are real but the word 'body' is an explanation and description for 'actual body as it is felt' in the mind reality and not actually 'actual body as it is felt'. Actual body is not a picture or a word. My tactile world, that's the real world. Body is what we feel; what feels is real. The only language that we ALL speak honestly (and without misinterpretation or chance of being misunderstood) is ACTION. "You shall know them by their fruits" - means, you shall know them by what they actually do with what they've got. *Doing* or ACTION is 'speaking in tongues' (speaking many languages at once with everyone's crystal clarity comprehension). Our present reality is a world where procrastination is King and kind, Action is the forgotten language. In a world of the computerized, the auto mechanical, the mechanical and the machinated; we have forgotten how to do, how to live, and we have forgotten how to breathe.
Breathe
Breath is the connection between body and mind. Many masters/gurus/senseis and teachers have said this. In other words, breath is the connection between experience (what is felt) and knowledge (description of what is felt). Forget all exercises you have ever learned for self-improvement and just remember this one and teach it to yourself continually (as, knowledge of the experience of this exercise without practicing it as an actual experience is useless). Everything you have ever learned or accomplished happened while you were breathing. Breath is the creator. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Breathe In - 1 2 3 4 (Count in your mind) Hold - 1 2 3 4 Breathe Out - 1 2 3 4 Hold - 1 2 3 4 Repeat steps 1-4 for the remainder of your life.
Start with dedicating an hour of a day to focusing on your breath. Then do a day in a week, then a couple of days a week, until the meditation becomes 'who you are'. Do anything while doing the breath exercize. DO NOT - SIT DOWN AND DO NOTHING WHILE DOING THIS. You want to increase focus in your day to day, not in your nothing to nothing. This will make you see things you have never seen them before in yourself and in the outside world. This will give you abilities you never before felt possible. As suppressions rise (they will) continue focusing on breath and allow your real self to take control of your life and the directions you move. The exercise itself is unimportant. The result/bi-product/outcome of actually doing this simple breath counting throughout your day is: increased focus on what you are actually/physically doing. Focusing on breath is in essence harnessing the mind's eye to look at reality from reality's point of view. This is the simple method to making yourself real. If you wish a more thorough and complex explanation/solution to your life and the drama of it then please read on. All I can tell you is that the answer lies in actually doing something, in actually moving, and the focus on this.
Too many of us have self-created dungeons of knowledge that encase us and therefore we restrict our capability. Knowledge must be lived in order for it to have residual effect over and beyond the cycles of consciousness/'conscious existence'.
- The Knowing
The Start
All realisations must be made by you. A realisation cannot be told to you. Once you have read this book, you will then have to go out and test it in experience for you to have the realisations that the text describes. I can only describe a realisation to you. You can only live realisation and experience for yourself.
You do this so that you may become: Effective in your world Authentic and Irreplaceable
Live your words. Live your definitions. Live self honestly. Create reality in mind in order to create your dreams.
Def. A good slave ------------------------Someone who does what they are told Because it feels good Because he or she thinks is 'right' Because its what they want regardless of honesty with self Self honesty is Common Sense In simple language:
Add anything to the list as they come up, your personal reality and what you are aware of in a moment is not strictly limited to what you perceive as your immediate surrounding objects but what takes your awareness in the moment. We do this exercise to address these self-programmed distractions as they come up and then when saying, 'I am sand in my shoes' by 'owning up to it' you 'own' the reaction and thereby stop its control over your focus. Your ability to focus is power. Your focus is your ability to be in the moment of the action. Increase personal limitations by increasing your self-willed duration of focus. Increase focus bandwidth by removing anger, angry instructions or angry memories from the primary mind. Anger weighs the self-down and produces judgement which perpetuates the production of yet more anger. Anger as an emotion clouds focus. Anger makes people stupid and causes them to be controlled without any real effort. The skilled manipulator of the public sees the energy for what it is and directs it. Moving the people involved with the anger as an flooding torrent of iron magma. Anger's aim is to come out, it just wants to be expressed/outed, anger suppression causes pain, most people avoid that. Allow yourself to exist, don't judge yourself to exist. It just doesn't work. Anger in its many subtle forms is source to ego.

Words and thoughts without action are useless
