Sense in senselessness, however, is senselessly as senseless as the senselessness. This is why it is senseless to senselessness for Truth to make sense. So as conditioned programmed automatons, the only thing that makes sense is to be conditioned and programmed and conditionings/programs. This is why so few Recognize/Realize/BE Truth, it does not fall into the conditioned programmed mode of operation so it is senseless. That can not be changed, for that is the Suffering. What can be changed is the conditioned programmed mode of operation, for that is the Cause of the Suffering. Change Suffering and what you get is another or different Suffering. Change the Cause of Suffering and you get Suffering changed -- supposedly, I am told, to Non-Suffering. But then, that could be senseless -- so what we have to do is find out for ourself. The Suffering has only intensified with our efforts to change Suffering, so is it not time we try another route ?

It is denied that there is Suffering for there is no one to Suffer. That All, Suffering and Non-Suffering, IS What-IS so there can not be a Sufferer and Non-Sufferer -- there can only be What-IS. Which is True when there is no Suffering. Yet while there is Suffering, while there is a conditioned programmed modus operandi, there will be suffering and there will be those who Suffer. We just have to take a look out of the window of our self-created Tower and Openly and Honestly Look. Self-created by our self-conditioned-programmed-thinking. I would liken this to the story of Siddhartha, a grand princely price sheltered from What-IS by What-ISNOT (conditioning/programming), when he looked out of the window of his castle he noticed that there was a vast difference between Sleeping (What-ISNOT) and Awakening (What-IS). All this time Sleeping yet conditioned/programmed to *think* he was Awake. A Rude Shock, and Painful Whack. So Rude the Shock, so Painful the Whack, he dedicated the rest of his life to finding out what this difference was and doing what must be done to rectify it. Likewise, as intently though perhaps not as intensely, is it not time for humanity to find out what that difference is and do what must be done to rectify it too ?

There is but one value in conceptualizations, which is the communication amongst ourselves. Not just here and not just between you and I, but rather between people. The Moment anything is uttered, whatever it is becomes a conceptualization. So if there is talking and/or reading, there will be conceptualization. Conceptualization's value ends there, for all communications or conceptualizations are but Pointers to where there are no concepts but rather the Direct Realization of whatever the conceptualization Pointed to. Problem is that people get stuck on the concept, get stuck on the finger Pointing, and *think* (are conditioned to think) that the concept is the actual thing rather than it Pointing elsewhere.

Indeed we must Realize where we have been so we will not make the same mistakes over and over again, and we must Realize where we are going so we do not get off track, but we ARE Here right Now so this is the only Moment as Reality at our disposal. The past is dead and gone, the future is not yet, so we are left with the very Present Moment. Clinging to the past or the future distracts us from focussing Attention IN/AS the Present Moment. For what we did in the preceding Moment directed us to this very Moment, and this very Moment will guide us on to the next Moment. What we did then is the foundation of what we have to do Now, as what we do Now is the foundation of what we do when the next Moment arrives. All of this is quite True and we must be ever Mindful of it, yet has no relevance to us IN/AS the Present Moment because each and every Moment is anew. Each Moment anew is Eternal IN/AS itself, so there can be no thoughts or concepts IN/AS that Eternal Moment. So we must not project our conditioned notions of past or future into/onto that anew Eternal Moment. BE it AS it IS.

Awakening, we enhance our life not reduce it. In fact, Sleeping, functioning under a conditioned modus operandi, is a very reduced life. Reduced to Pain and Suffering, for our True Nature is Bliss. Awakening is not a reduction, but rather an elimination of added conditioned notions of this and that. And when we eliminate those, we Realize a Fullness of Life Lived. Sleeping we just survive, Awakening we Live. What is "humanness" ? We are human, as we are called, so is not Living Life humanness ? If you are implying that living life as a conditioned programmed controlled manipulated robot being humanness, with all the accompanying desires and emotions and illusions and delusions, is what I would suggest is to redefine humanness.

Using the conceptualizations, being worthless other than one person trying to Help another Understand or start Awakening. It is not a natural function of our True Nature, but rather inherent in language. The problem is when we *believe* the concept to be other than a mere Pointer. The so called "conceptual function" not being part of our True Nature, there are no gears to switch. Either one is Sleeping (blinded by conditioned notions) or one is Awakening (letting go of those conditioned notions). If I am understanding your use of the term "Pure BEing", one could indeed BE Pure BEing and there would be no conceptualization because there would be no speaking or thinking or anything of the sort. Yet, AS Pure BEing we could speak and think and do and all sorts of things which would be in the realm of conceptualizing. Awakening we are Awakening all by ourself, and there are no concepts or thoughts IN/AS that state of BEing. Yet when we offer Help to another that offering will have the *appearance* of concept for the sheer communication would be a conceptualization. Why ? Because we can not Talk Truth, we can only Point to it.

Awakening, BEing What-IS, the only thing we negate is our conditioned notions that Veil that Awakening. All the rest of Life and Living becomes a Marvel or Wonder or Miracle. I would liken it to the difference between the original black&white television and the color television. Sleeping is like watching two dimensional black&white t.v., whereas Awakening is like watching 3D color t.v.

Could this be due to the mind not being able to find life ? One of the few items that the mind can not BE is Life. That is, the mind can not have a life of it's own. The mind is an operating system, a facilitator, and nothing more. Now, due to running a myriad of programs the mind does generate thoughts *about* life as we are programmed to perceive it but has no clue as to Life.

Not "thrown at" but rather arising due to the programs that the mind runs. Indeed, Sleeping and sleeping are Sleeping and sleeping. Sleeping is one of those items that when we are Sleeping or simply sleeping we do not Realize that we are Sleeping or sleeping. But "a rose is a rose is a rose, by any other name is still a rose", so is said. Indeed, with a good imagination we can call a rose by any other name and *believe* that the rose is something other than a rose. Legends in our own mind. Have butterflies written any books ? Indeed, we can fool ourself about everything some of the time and fool ourself about some things all the time but we can not fool ourself about everything all the time.

Do not mistake the jump nor the frog for the frog jumping. Only the legless frog reveals this. Thought, programs, conditioned ideas and notions of all sorts, IS the Cause of this Suffering. A Revelation, the first step toward Awakening. "Mind-glasses" indeed. The rose colored glasses of our conditioned programmed controlled manipulated modus operandi.

"A state of consciousness or Realization" implies that there is something/someone separate from the "state of consciousness or Realization". Though it is True, BEing What-IS - IS, as implied, no separation between something/someone and What-IS. That is, we ARE What-IS so we must BE who/what we ARE which IS What-IS. As each Moment IS we ARE also, anew as each Moment is anew. A Timeless non-separation of us and the Present Moment Eternally Unfolding. I would liken this state of BEing to one who looked in a microscope for the first time viewing the microbes in a drop of spring water, with no prior knowledge of either the microscope or microbes. One is in a mesmerized state of unknowing and wonder, not projecting any ideas or images or knowledge into/onto the observation. There is obviously a separation between the drop of water and the microscope and us, but at that Moment of Pure Observation we are not aware of the separation. THAT Moment of no separation is what I was Pointing to as BEing What-IS. When there is no separation between the Observer and the Observed, the Observer IS the Observed.

A belief is a clinging to that which has not been Directly Experienced. Believed via some mental contrivances or via the word of another, both being Illusions/What-ISNOT. Any such clinging is a Veil to What-IS that eventually we must BE. As you suggest, we can get in quite the rut clinging to the same old thing and not Embracing the Moment anew. So my question always is: why settle for second-hand/generic when you can BE the Real Thing ?

That was as much in jest as it was anything else. Though, with any process there is a functionality and a resulting effect which must be maintained and thereby kept track of even if only by the one in the process. Do we not see where we are going by where we are relative to where we have been ? What do we not keep track of ?

Before humanity, everything got along quite well all by itself. But the minute a certain Evolved/Involved fungus developed the ability to contrive concepts it started codifying and recording and keeping track of everything. We have to stop keeping track, and to do that we have to stop the conceptualization and intellectualization of our existence and our nature and simply BE What-IS our True Nature. The very act of conceptualizing a hierarchical spreadsheet of what we contrive as the make up of What-IS is the reduction of What-IS to our seeming *known*. In so doing, we evaluate our station on this spreadsheet. The Tao that can be named is not the Tao. BEing What-IS, there is no spreadsheet to evaluate and no one separate from What-IS to evaluate it -- the Moment of *unknowing* -- the Moment of no conceptualization. So I say: why create a map if we are not going to read it ?

Problem is that if you give Sleeping conceptualization based humanity enough rope they will hang themselves. Too often, many varied concepts are offered, establishing choices that conditioned humanity must make. When there is a *what-if* there can not be What-IS.

If programs (conditionings) generate choices, and programs (conditionings) mean no Freedom, would it not seem that choices generated by the programs are also no Freedom ? Correct, Freedom is no programs, Freedom is no conditionings, Freedom is no choices, Freedom is BEing What-IS. Sleeping we can only be What-ISNOT, yet Awakening we can only BE What-IS. Sleeping, our programs generate all kinds of seeming choices based on the various programs running at the time, though whatever seeming choice we make we are still What-ISNOT. So the choices are but Illusions to make us *think* we have some control over our lives, so we can *think* that we are free. Yet Freedom is the Freedom to BE What-IS instead of chained to choices.

I stress that we must always be on guard to notice any conditioned notions (programs) that bind us to reactions to this or that. Always be on guard too for automatic arising thoughts or memories. That which arises as a reaction is the programs running. While we are Watchdogs we know that we are still Sleeping. When there comes a time when the Watchdog is likened to the Maytag repairman we will not know that there are programs to let go of. That is, when the Seeker is dropped or let go of is when we ARE Free. When we ARE Freedom there is no Seeker separate from the Freedom. Dropping the Seeker is not a conscious dropping, but rather a result of the Seeker letting go of all programs. The last program let go of just happens to be the Seeker program, so we will not Realize that we are no more -- we simply will BE. And that BEing is the BEing What-IS I always refer to. I recall a student asking a Teacher the very question you asked. The Teacher's answer was, "I am the only one Enlightened". That is, the student would not know that he had ever attained Enlightenment. *We are always the last to know* (so the cliche goes).

Non-doing is the Realization that there is no one separate from that which is done. That is, there is no doer when there is nothing left to be done. When we ARE What-IS we are simply BEing, BEing What-IS -- nothing to do and no one separate from it to do it. Sleeping, there is still a doer and much to be done. So non-doing is not a passive reaction to habitual thinking/behavior and/or influences but rather an aspect of BEing What-IS. So you are correct, to become Free there is still a doer and still much to be done until we ARE Free or ARE Freedom. "Surrender" connotes 'giving to', whereas it is more a matter of dropping the old off into the trash can. There is no "affirmation" of the new, but rather a BEing of What-IS. And I am not being semantically picky here, but rather Pointing to the Fact that in such perspective there is an underlying duality that must be Recognized. This duality is inherent in the undertaking of the task of Awakening, however few Recognize it as duality. Not that it is wrong to be there but rather that it is not Recognized as such and so becomes a stumbling block to Awakening, for that duality too must be dropped.

What-IS simply IS. However though What-IS is Eternal Totality, so can not be displaced in any way, toxic conditioned notions do Veil one's Recognition/Realization/BEing What-IS. That is, as Sleeping conditioned programmed automatons controlled manipulated, we walk around bumping into walls because we have our Eyes Wide Shut. Indeed there are no Doers with nothing to Do so nothing can be Done BEFORE crawling and AFTER running, yet in the points between "there's a whole lot a shakin' goin' on". This can be denied because there indeed no Doer separate from What-IS because What-IS is already Done. Problem is that 99.99% of humanity are conditioned to *think* that *their* little conceptual world is what-is. If we do not let go of the programs, even the Realization of What-IS will be defiled by the program.

More a *de-conditioning* process of letting the conditionings go. Not all of them, just the ones that are *Hazardous Waste*. Hazardous to Awakening.

Though the unconditioned IS when unconditioned, when conditioned the unconditioned must be attained or we are left with the chains and the past and not the Moment. Any belief is a Veil, and the belief that we are not conditioned programmed automatons is the Veil of which I speak. For whether denied or not, believed or not, we have become robots controlled and manipulated by our own conditioned notions.

Indeed, BEing the Moment Eternally IS. IS True Nature. Sleeping, conditioned automatons, these are just grandiose Wise words with little relevant to our condition. Awakening is not about knowing the Wise words, but rather in BEing them.

No, it is not something that children have that adults do not, but rather something that everyone has yet adults have hidden or Veiled it due to their conditioned state of being. When a Wise fellow a couple of thousand years ago said that "we must be as little children", he meant that we as adults had to let go of our conditioned notions and BE our inherent Natural uninfluenced self. You can see it in children because they do not know any difference, they are just BEing themselves IN/AS the Moment from Moment to Moment -- that is all they know, that is who they are. You can not see it in adults because they have been brain washed or programmed or conditioned to be who they are. So to let go of the brain washed programmed conditioned thinking and behavior, you would be "as little children". They can not explain it to you because to them it simply IS What-IS, embracing the Moment AS it IS at the very Moment that it IS. They exist IN/AS Reality, whereas adults exist in their conditioned illusions. You can not seek it, for that which we seek will always elude us. We can only Realize it ourselves. So I would say that the task at hand is to Recognize and Realize it IN/AS yourself rather than seeking it in others. THEN you will Truly Understand this Spirituality seen in children.

Guardian Angels indeed -- actually Elemental Forces at best. Unconditioned children are still in direct connection with their Permanence that is carried on from incarnation to incarnation. So they are talking to themselves -- their True unconditioned Self. Yet in their still undeveloped mental state they can not talk to themselves because they are themselves, so they psychologically contrive *another* to be talking to. Though they are still innocent of the conditionings that will be poured upon them, their mental state is not capable of understanding this permanent connection from incarnation to incarnation. They do not even realize that they are in an incarnation. Adults in their conditioned dualistic thinking can accept this *other* more readily also, yet are conditioned to smother it by telling the child that "there is no one there so stop talking to it, people will think you are crazy" (conditioning at it's best). We embark upon an incarnation fully Awakening, yet stumble through getting used to this form (physical world) -- children are most Wise Gurus, if only we would get rid of enough conditioning to Realize it. The answer ? It will not be found with the child, but rather within you. So it is YOUR Spirituality that must be Realized, for the children already Realize theirs. They are good Gurus or Teachers, but poor information sources.

We do not lose sight of Humor IN/AS Awakening, but rather are able to See the Humor in all things. All is Wondrous, as All is Life, as All is Serious, as All is Humorous. It is all in not reading anything into anything, but rather Observing anything AS it IS -- which IS quite impermanent, so there is nothing to *react* to. Awakening, Life is a never ending Wonderment of What-IS -- and not what we project into/onto it.
