To those who understand enlightenment

[kaat]

In my absence, I went to my local bar for one Guinness. This is exactly what I wanted to do, and yielded exactly the results I wanted. FYI, this is the kind of self-medication, that is "informed", and not necessarily a bad idea. I am back, and feeling better, and munching on trail mix.

NOW:

While I was there, I believe the teacher I need now, appeared. He is the boyfriend of one of the barmaids. I have not met him yet, but he IS going to help me.

I do realize, that if you don't believe logical proof helps, it's irrelevant. I strongly disagree. And remember, I do not believe I KNOW this, it's just that I now believe it.

If the board's logic guru does appear too, so much the better!

 

[kaat]

Another example of unenlightened thinking, and my imperfection ...

I could only find trail mix that has sulphites in it. I am eating it anyway. It appears I don't have a personal problem with sulphites.

What's my objection? Some people, when they first eat sulphites, experience disturbing symptoms, to the extent that they may think they need to head for the hospital emergency room. Those who realize this, but unwittingly eat sulphites (this is easy; think salad bars), know that they could be in for a very foul digestive reaction.

Now, the ONLY reason sulphites are added, is to give the appearance that freshness is longer lasting (and ONLY the appearance). People, my trail mix consists of nuts, seeds, and raisins.

DO WE WANT SULPHITES IN OUR FOOD, AT ALL?

Right. *I*'m saying, we DO have a choice. But we don't act. Properly.

With me?

(and while I think of it, you do realize that BOOKS have changed our world ... so far, mine is a short book, if I summarize it well)

Jonathan Goldstein is a radio broadcaster who EXUDES elegant examples of backward thinking.

You can find audio examples here:
Audio | Wiretap | CBC Radio

I cannot say that ALL these exhibit it, but IF and WHEN last night's show is there, YOU WOULD NOT MISTAKE THE MESSAGE. You'd be looking for something like "I want to cancel my phone service". I bet you can already imagine his objections.

Of course, I am already trying to interest him in my ideas.

And I realize that my good book will not be full of examples; I am making a point here.

Perhaps the book's title is:

"The Book That Is Improving The World, And Makes It Exponentially Better With Each New Reader"

And I see no problem marketing it to it's full potential (THAT'S when *I*'m a handful)

I should not have to add this .... the above can ONLY be done compassionately.

 

[kaat]

Another example.

I pay only rent - no utilities.

I could leave all my taps running water 24/7.

How could my landlord object?

He couldn't, until he changed things ...
... made me pay for my water usage.

So, it's questionable to give people the impression that things are FREE.

And that could easily be corrected .... blah, blah blah.

 

[kaat]

Another example.

I have blocked my sink, because I accidentally dropped 2 grapes into it.

My impulse was to quickly grab for the grapes, and in doing so, I mashed them into the sides of the (small) drain. My plunger has not worked.

I DO NOT WANT to use harsh cleaners. For the moment, I am only running the taps very slowly, so the drain still just about works.

THIS, is a design problem. It's easily changed.

Nature knows this, because IF I wait long enough, decomposition will take care of it.

- SILENCE -

I am overwhelming you with evidence - aren't I?

.
.

P.S.: I can't quite, yet, explain why, the following statement is TRUE:

"The easier things are to do, the less they get done."
Oh wait. Yes I can, lol.

And this one:
"You MUST allow your logic to be reversed."
This one I do know about. And so do you.

And this one:
"Cell phones are a BAD idea. If it's connectivity you're after. If you want mobility, I guess you're stuck with them".
(my advice: do not get rid of your land line, for the moment)

 

[kaat]

I do hope that some of you are calling on your BEST resources to check this all out.

To get them interested, begin at the END.

.
.

P.S.: I am nothing special. Just a lucky human. You MUST not consider me special enough to always seek advice from, because I *WILL* FAIL YOU. When the time is right (soon), you will know what to do. And I know of no reason to investigate my luckiness, unless you think you can get so lucky yourself, without my help.

 

[kaat]

THIS IS REALLY *IT*


What have I proven?

"The true nature of reality.
And how to get around that problem."

It is:

That we will never fully understand anything, unless we allow our logic to be reversed, if only for a nanosecond. Once we do so, we can see that any dualities are NOT problems, but, in fact, choices. And, only our *right* choice will succeed. That everyone will realize this, is unlikely.

Happily, to make everything work properly, all we need to do, is believe that everything can work properly, and pursue that with all like-minded humans. And then, we'll realize that we did, indeed, want to relax, and live well. The evidence for needing to do this is already defined (Norman Vincent Peale): The Power Of Positive Thinking.

 

[kaat]

I'm back, and so far, unscathed. But as many of you fine people correctly suggested, I am now VERY SCARED.

Not about my ideas, or YOUR future. But about MY future. Which is odd, because I already accepted that my life no longer matters, but I want to refuse to accept it now. My survival instinct has been told to be as strong as possible, and then to stop.

As is ALL of this, it's about acceptance.

I seem to be my own teacher, so I know what I am going to do. But it IS perilous. For me (except that I'm not supposed to care, lol).

ANY TRUE, COMPASSIONATE counseling, here, now, would further confirm my love for you.

Try some other threads that address a variety of topics. This one is good, but there are others that have value as well.

 

[kaat]

The same illness, that helped me achieve my theory, has now put me dangerously close to never seeing my family again (they hate me). I can't control - anything. I hope you enjoy my work. I do not. I am crying, now, if it wasn't obvious. You all were right, but so am I. You'll see.

 

[kaat]

Oh sorry - that is absolutely NOT a threat - I am living compassionately.

 

[MysticSang'ha]

<----- that's for you, kaat.

 

[YmirGF]

<----- that's for you, kaat.

Silence often says much more, than trying to say, what has been said before, eh, Momma?

This is for you, dear Kaat ---===>> :bkcat:: hamster :: hamster :: hamster :: hamster ::bkcat:

Words fail me, for the moment, Kaat.

Compassion is the path of action.

 

[TurkeyOnRye]

I'm sorry I haven't been on the thread. Don't get the wrong impression, I'm still here.

 

[YmirGF]

I'm sorry I haven't been on the thread. Don't get the wrong impression, I'm still here.

I tried telling that in an email, but didn't get a very positive response. I can't help but get the feeling somehow we have "failed" Kaat.

That being said, I feel that this thread started out to be very positive, but after page 15 or so, it just gets, well -- strange. It is my feeling that this thread exemplifies the reason why I heartily recommend to those undergoing "illumination" to keep it to them self, for the most part, until they understand the "nuts and bolts" of their experience from the “broader view” of further experience.

Hello. I am kaat's older brother in the UK and I have just registered on this forum. He as cut himself off from my mother and I and we are desperate to contact him.

@kaat: Bro, if you're still reading this thread, I beg you to contact either me or Mum. We are very concerned about your well being. You know that we don't hate you and only wish to help in any way we can. You are my one and only brother and I will never abandon you. Please call or email.

@kaat's friends: First, thank you all for the compassion you have shown for my brother. If any of you have heard from kaat since his last post here, I implore you to contact me, either on the forum or by email. My mother and I are desperately worried about him. Even if it is only to say that he is safe, please let me know.

Thank you

That is very good news and a distinct relief. I hope Kaat is able to rejoin us in the near future.
Thanks again for the prompt reply to my email.
