More about ME and some about me, with a
small introduction about how I got almost
cured and nearly into a state of perfect
bliss, happiness, relief and satori:
1. A state of
perfect bliss, happiness, relief and
satori
2. 
Be-coming a me-less
be-ing Be-ing through stopping
thinking
1. A state of
perfect bliss, happiness, relief and
satori
Originally, I had planned to write a
litte more about malevolence that I wrote
yesterday about, but then I got flooded by
Wellness Bringing Be-ing, as presented and
propounded by my great friend Cort
Johnson, The Creator Of Phoenix-Rising -
no less - and a long time spiritual
seeker, deep researcher of the amygdala,
student, follower and devotee of EST
(Be-ing, in Latin, among other things),
besides be-ing, of course, a "thin-ker" of
genius.
So you will understand if for the moment
I enter into the be-ing of my Be-ing,
deeply moved as I am by Our Leader Cort's
great thoughts, so chrystal clear in
expression, and so profound in meaning,
that I could not prevent the be-coming
into Be-ing of my own be-ing, and felt
moved to roll my own, inspired by
unfathomable depths that Our Leader has
just published on Phoenix Rising, to the
everlasting Be-nefit of all Be-ings.
It is called
and
since I too studied philosophy,
here is my take on it, that I invite you
to compare with Our Leader's Great Thinking
Being:
2.
Be-coming of a me-less be-ing Be-ing
through stopping thinking
For non-philosophers:
See below: Textual
note
for an explanation of my
exalted philosophical
prose style
What is 'thin-king'? It’s very simple
- almost too simple; it's just what it
appears to be - it's just thin-king -
it's the royal place present just
before thought… a place of absence
(Nicht-Da-Sein) and Nothingness that
spiritual practitioners (and
philosophers) assert "is" who we 'real-ly'
"are" - an infinite loop of
mind-blowing bo-go-satori-all Be-ing.
When we are just thin-king in the
moment things and thinks come
na-ture-real-ly….things they flow
more... thoughts they glow more...
mind/bodies they grow more...
brain/minds they know more....If
you’re an athlete and you inhabit
be-ing you’re a star…if you're
unhealthy and you inhabit being - you
are at peace: It is All up to You! You
can be Being-Happy if you
Really-Truly-Really want! Also with
"chronic fatigue disorder"! Evidence
Based Soul-healing (TM) proved! Be-ing
is! All in ur brain/mind/body/soul!
Evidence Based Research suggests,
however, that there is probably not a
lot of 'be-ing' in chronic fatigue
syndrome, and much too much thinking.
Evidence Based Research has proved
that the "brains" of people with
ME/CFS have difficulty shutting off
"innocuous" "stimuli" such as
"background' "noise". Other Evidence
Based Research suggests that
"problems" with the "plan-ning
mecha-nisms" may make it "work" harder
to plan movement. Others suggest
neural networks may not be working as
efficiently, transparently, crucially
and optimally as they should
be…..Evidence Based Findings of
increased "sympathetic nervous system
activity" ("fight" or "flight")
suggest that just ‘be-ing’ is hardly a
priority. With problems such as these
the state of grace of simply be-ing
Be-ing becomes harder and harder to
come by: The "thinking" of the
"brains" of "people" with ME/CFS is
dysfunctional as regards the be-coming
of a be-ing Be-ing, yea verily!
That’s acerbated by the situations we
lack coping capacities for, that quite
naturally throws dysfunctional
believers with "chronic fatigue
disorder" into being mental than
be-ing Be-ing: frustration, anger,
sadness and fear became the inevitable
lot of those who think too much and
forget about be-ing Be-ing. It's the
fault of our "civilization": So little
emphasis is placed on be-ing Be-ing
that we all forget about just be-ing
Being and be-come our "thinking"; our
"goals", our "anger", our
"frustration", our "hopes", our
"sadnesses" all e-clipse our be-ing
Be-ing... (One of the options of
be-ing Being is not thinking about
be-ing Being!). Our not be-ing into
Be-ing, i.e. our dysfunctional
thinking makes PWCs angry, sad or
frustrated - and the longer and more
angry, sad, frustrated PWCs are - the
more that is there own do-ing.
Spiritual Seekers know, however, that
is not the Be-ing who we are...
We are be-ing Being - a plenitudinal
place of godlike grace and serene
space. This being-log is a journey
away from our dysfunctional thinking -
that keeps us ill and from the
blissful be-ing of Be-ing thoughlessly
in the blessed pure bliss of pure
Be-ing - and towards be-ing Be-ing -
that plenitudinal place of godlike
grace and serene space, that's open to
all of us who are cognitively
challenged spiritual enough
to give up our dysfunctional belief
patterns that keep us from the
unfathomable bliss of be-ing Be-ing,
pure, simple, thoughtless, purefied
from "analyticity", "rationality" and
indeed all "thinking" (very
unwholesome and unproductive as that
is for any homo sapiens, as we all
know).
One of the "thinks" that has helped
me see the be-ing of Be-ing is drawing
'distinctions' - and here it is
possible to draw a dis-tinction
be-tween be-ing Being and being
thinking. This allows me to be-come
the Being of the dis-tinction between
when the real me is 'be-ing Be-ing'
and when my "me" is merely 'thinking'
myself ill. Happily for my state of
bliss, normally blissfull be-ing
Be-ing wins out hands down over
'thinking': It's much more
peaceful and happy just being Be-ing
than to think! ("Death,
sleep, non-thinking
is the cure of all thought
of disease - Sir
Thomas Browning.")
While fighting with "chronic fatigue
disorder" I was thinking; while
thinking I was not be-ing Be-ing; and
- as we all know or ought
to know in Our Community -
since Be-ing = Qua-lity of life
(obviously, evidently, clearly,
undubitably!) my thinking dysfunctioned
and kept me from be-ing the be-ing
Be-ing this be-ing could be,
thoughtlessly. We all "think" that
with the right "health", the right
"job", the right "family", the right
"toys" and frequent shows of "respect"
to our neighbours we will be "happy".
What if our body is be-ing not be-ing
well?! Or what if our limbs are hacked
off with a chainsaw? Or X or Y?! Ought
we then lack wellness?!
According to people who are into
be-ing Be-ing - absolutely not!
There is hope and there is a cure: Stop
thinking! Be Be-ing! Be
Well! It's All In Your
Mind: Be your Be-ing - Stop
dysfunctional "thinking"! Are you just
be-ing Be-ing in the be-coming Now
(The Eternal Moment) or are
you dysfunctionally thinking
yourself unwell...."That's the
question: To be or not to be". Looking
at the distinction in everyday life of
be-ing vs thinking can be quite
helpful....Am I be-ing or am I
thinking? It's all about bringing you
back to where you belong: not
thinking, be-ing Be-ing Here And
Now.... the less you think, the better
you Be, naturally.
In everyone is a large empty space
full of Blissful Be-ing, that's just
be-ing Be-ing without one iota of
dysfunctional "thinking". You too can
be Well through be-ing Be-ing...it's
slow...it takes time.....but if you
keep at it - if you keep the drips
coming it does accumulate and it does
fill up, with the Nothing whose Be-ing
is All :)
These blogs will focus on my attempt
to access be-ing, so to speak, as I
read different books and try different
exercises.
Ignorance =
Bliss; Non-thinking = Heaven.
P.S. O
ye scoffers! Is nothing
holy these days?! And if you think someone
is talking utter crap and nonsense, why be
so disrespectful to say so, ye evil
meanies?
If someone wants to write in crazy
grammar, abuse ludicrous terminology
derived from an obscure Nazi-philosopher,
make nonsensical and false assertions,
indulge in fallacies galore, and has a
nearly insane pretension his manner of
writing and thinking will help anyone to
anything else than confusion - let him
be!
So what if what Our Leader says is
straight out of the cookbook for
alternative conmanship? So what if he
writes total baloney? His community will
love and admire him, and the more so the
less they understand of it - and he says
he is made happy by his vain
thinking blissful be-ing: Why
do you upset his blissfulness? Let it
be!
Textual
note: Dutchies can consult my
Een
moment van verlichting (A
moment of enlightenment), where I take on
"a real pro" (as he would like to think,
and indeed is paid as), namely the cross
between a pseudo-marxist and a
pomo-careerist that styles itself
professor Paul Scheffers, presently
Leading Thinker of Dutch Labour, and
before that Revolutionary Marxist
Professor at the Radboud Universiteit
Nijmegen, then Professor of City
Development at the University of
Amsterdam, and a fool and a fraud.
But even when you read Dutch, you don't
understand all, which I here summarize for
you, so that you too can be a Pomo
Philosopher too, and become
rich and famous by writing bullshit that
combines crappiness with unreadability:
- From Heidegger, one steals (i) the
trick of hyphenating all manner of
words, that thereby look at least twice
as profound, and (ii) the trick of
making any words whatsoever into a noun
or a verb, on the pattern of (true
quotation!) "The Nothing nothings" -
which Heidegger pretended to be a deep
insight he had found.
- Again from Heidegger, one steals (iii)
the trick of writing in an almost
unbearably unreadable language, chockful
with seeming profundities and very large
claims and promises, and (iv) the trick
of never being particular or logical
about anything whatsoever (except one's
claims to tenure and salary). For more
on Heidegger, see Carlin Romano's fine "Heil
Heidegger" (end of 2009),
that I wrote about in Heidegger
aan diggelen.
- From Foucault, Lacan, Kristeva,
Lyotard, Derrida and Althusser,
especially, one steals, next to
arbitrary hyphenation and capitalization
of words the more subtle tricks of (v) italicing
words or parts of words to start
a refined philosophical game about
whether "class-struggle",
class-struggle, "class-struggle",
'class struggle' and "class
struggle" mean the same in
Altusser and Lyotard and in Marx, that
impresses many for its profundities (*) (vi) quoting
the most abstruse prose and using the
most farfetched terminology to appear to
be of an effective unfathomable depth of
genius, and (vii) never explain
anything whatsoever: always
pretend that your readers know and
understand and agree to whatever crazy
talk you spout, and regularly use "as we
all know" (truth does not exist),
"anybody can see" (2+2 = 22), "it is
evident" (that the szyzygy is a suture
of two joints of a crinoid), since most
won't see through it anyway, and very
few of those who do will protest. You're
safe! It worked for 25 centuries, so
far! Mundus vult
decipi! (See my
Studies
in MEdical Sadism - 4: Intermezzo -
Lucian).
Finally the basic lesson to write
popular but profound philosophy that
sells to the masses:
- From the Fathers of the Church, the
Protestant theologians and
Heidegger and Postmodernism one steals
(viii) the trick of saying most things
preferably in hermeneutic language
composed of
oxymorons and hardly known
abstract terms, that are also used in
non-standard - "new" - senses: "In the
icecold heat of his non-thinking
thinking, our heroic Heidegger insisted
that the be-ing of white is the be-ing
of black if the Führer does not assert
he did not cogitate that this be-ing is
a non-be-ing (for clearly, then the
nothing nothings the appearance of a
be-ing in contra-diction)."
So... for more along these enlightening
lines, see my
Morningstar
shines a bright light on postmodernism
and The
Postmodernism Generator for
how Cort-Heidegger-pomo prose can be
produced by the bucket, gratis also, and
of astounding depth.
Whether one can trust a mind like Cort's
to lead a movement of genuinely ill people
who defend themselves against the
aspersions that they are mentally ill, or
why someone in his position keeps going on
and on and on and on about the sheerest
psychobabble crap, I leave to your
consideration, but I refer him and you to
this font of wisdom, that I soon expect to
see on Phoenix Rising:
There you'll also find a Cortean Recipe
for Finding Health: It's all in your mind.
Here is a little bit of The Way, to
be-come a be-ing Be-ing, mens sano in
corpore sano, also:
Love yourself! Deeply, profoundly! Make
lists of all the wonderful things about
you. Add to it every day.
Free yourself of any past resentments
or disappointments you may be holding
about you.
Let go of any and all resentments from
the past you may be holding of everyone
and everything.
See yourself as completely well in your
mind and visualize yourself doing things
in a complete state of perfect health.
Do not speak of your illness, or
disease with others.
Love and appreciate everything and
everyone, and especially yourself.
Know you have the power within you to
heal yourself.
(...)
Make your happiness the number one
thing in your life.
Resist nothing, love everything!
Know that there is no such thing as
incurable.
As you love completely and feel the joy
within you, disease cannot exist.
Know and accept that you are perfect as
you are right now.
Now how could you possibly not
agree, dear reader?! What utterly
sick minds would want to insist
wishful
thinking may not be
good for you?! Everybody knows it works:
Imagine it is true, and hey presto: it
must be true! Imaginatively so, but then
again, life is a dream anyway, right? And
imagining it is so, is most of the
pleasure of it being so, right?! The joy
is in the journey, not in reaching the
goal?!
I mean: It is completely clear
to me that you
- anyone of my readers, dear readers: Yes,
You! - are
the most lovable and most
wonderful person in the entire
universe, isn't
it? And that I never lie? It is evidently
clear - lesson of history! - that simply
by thinking alone you can get to the
be-ing of your Be-ing, and solve all
your problems, isn't it? And isn't it
chrystal clear that if you don't mention
your cancers to anyone they can't possibly
exist? Esse est percipi,
isn't it, as Bishop Berkeley taught us
all?! And that you - Yes, You! -
really must love Hitler, Eichmann
and the 9/11 bombers, besides the mayor of
the city where you live, and your prime
minister or president, plus your
neighbour's wife, for else you must and
ought to remain miserable in your tiny
overly refined sick "mind"?
For you and I and Cort just know
that you and I and he just know
that you - yes: YOU! -have
The Power Within You to Heal
yourself into Wellness: You
merely should wish it, and if you wish
well, you will get
it. Promise!
Cross my heart! (And if you don't get it,
you didn't wish well: Tails I win, heads
you loose.)
For more liberating wellness-bringing
thinking:
I hope this will bring enlightenment to
many! Thank you!
(*) In the style
of: The being of being is the be-ing of
be-coming, but the being of the being of
being is not rightly a be-ing
although - clearly - it is a be-coming,
until, of course, the nothing
no-things the onto-logy of this
hegemonic epistemo-logy, dialectically,
as Hegel taught us all, as we all know.
Now clearly, the epistemology of the
hegemony of the capitalist ontology
annihilates the im-Frage-stellen
(questioning, critiqueing) of the
critique of the be-coming of the
gender-role specificity. Therefore...
(here we imagine Monty Python's foot
from high heaven.)
For infinitely more of the
same: The
Postmodernism Generator. (I
am not a professor of philosophy because
while I can write this baloney as if it
makes sense at top speed - almost as
fast as Derrida could talk, I fear - I
refused to do so, through my own
despicable arrogance, no doubt.)
