BOXATION, FOLDERATING, and LABELIZING

The human mind, ah, you predictable animal.

Every person I've ever met( and myself )are beautiful, one-of-a-kind, radiant individuals! And yet, our minds! Aye, aye, aye, our minds! They are like die-cut stamps off an assembly line. They all function the same way, they are educated the same way, and the patterns of an untrained mind are as obvious as a car-wreck on a freeway.

Wisdom I once read: The mind makes an excellent servant but a terrible master.

Many folks are servants to their mind. The mind seeks glorification of itself and its amazing abilities, and because it also knows itself to be only one part of something much bigger, it is equiped with an ability( in perfect proportion actually )to defuse self-admiration.

When you listen to your mind objectively, after a great deal of distillation, you will begin to recognize that one side is consistently trying to "understand" things. This takes the form of analysis, which is the reason for the title: "Boxation, folderating, and labelizing."

Example: You are in the grocery store, trying to decide which product to buy. A person approaches you and suggests another product entirely. If you even care to listen to your mental process, you might find it goes something like this:

You look at the person, they are female, old with gray hair, smiling, wearing nice clothes...all black, strange...oh, wait, with a red neck scarf, hmmm....expensive glasses....she seems friendly...why is she suggesting this product? What next?

You are assimilating this situation. Your mind is necessarily trying to process and deliver to you( as quickly as possible )all of the information you need to make a decision. This procedure can be as complex as you have trained your decision-making process to be, or as simple as "I don't talk to strangers( even if they are beautiful old ladies, who knows what her agenda might be, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum )".

The mind, by itself, cannot deal with the moment-at-hand. It cannot give you the answer in regard to WHAT NEXT. It can only give you a staggering list of pros and cons.

Every time, you end up doing...something. Saying something, getting through it one-way-or-another. Life is a trip, my friends. A very, very, very LOOOOONNNNG journey through time and space.

So!

What is it? How is it? What on Earth is going on here?????

Haha! Well, although I rant and rave, I will always defer to you, my King/Queen, in regard to YOU. Unless you are a child living on your parent's rules, it is not for another, ever, to say on your behalf! You are the captain of your heart, as I am of mine!

I would only encourage you to escape that which limits you. That which would seek to boxate you, folderate you, or labelize you. These are the activities of ill-trained minds, and you should know by now...positions much less than what you really are.

Also! Do not boxate, folderate, and labelize others!

I am always taken-aback when negativity is perceived in my words and my descriptions. Part of my own "delving-deeper" process has put me necessarily face-to-face with ever-increasing doses of these perceptions.

Although I have indeed come realize a large degree of habitual responses to life's daily routines( a reservoir of human foibles including selfishness of all kinds, interruptive rudeness, my-needs-are-greater-than-yours, shortness of temper, arrogance, presumption-of-knowing, etc ), I had believed my contemplated, carefully arranged, and published message to be far more uplifting than it so often appears to be received.

I guess I am asking for myself to communicate that positivity better. I want to relate a beautiful and uplifting confidence that things -- AS THEY ARE! -- are both miraculously and mundanely rendered in absolute and utter perfection! I have no doubt of this, none! although I am recomspent to forget in the face of emotionality and habitual fear.

And what of all the problems? War, death, pain, suffering? I swear to you with the passion of a 1000^1000 men that these attrocities are caused by the widespread belief that it is imperfect and not the way it should be. Aye! Another slaying!

If every person could accomplish the personal triumph of seeing these things as patterns in a massive design that IS PRESENTLY BECOMING, ALWAYS BECOMING then I swear, additionally with even more fervor, the Kingdom of Heaven would be upon us all.

I will never hear argument to this Truth.

I want the strength of it to sing clearly, even in the twists-and-turns and ups-and-downs of my personality. I believe it is like how the graphed soundwave of a symphony appears jittery when magnified too closely. Don't analyze the mechanics of reality unless that is your destiny, passion, and hobby to do so. Nay! Just LIVE LIFE!
