God/Religion and the Dominant/Submissive Dance

[A thumbnail sketch of a talk given by Jan Cox, 1/28/1988]

God/religion is the ultimate dominating agent. Men are dying to submit, even to the extent of not needing positive proof of God's existence. Ordinary consciousness takes love to be a 'thing' which has been improperly used. But love is behavior, not a thing. Love is cellular-level behavior, functioning at the efficiency needed by Life right now.  All “dissatisfaction” is a crying out for love. Whatever is held admirable and noble, divine, by Life is by definition unattainable. All definitive dreams are ipso facto unachievable. 

“To err is human”: human foibles/flaws are the primary flow system/mechanism for energy movement in humanity; without the ordinary feeling in men of incompleteness, of falling short of the mark, civilization would be impossible.

Any form of criticism = hostility.  Hostility is an absolute block to New Information.  Hostility is a response to your own limits, thus you cannot see beyond them— cannot see/hear what any situation says to you. 

To be truly rich is to not care about it.  The Neural Revolutionary has got to be so rich in New Information as to have no care about his ordinary self. Don't try to be anything; don't tell yourself what you think you are.  If you do, you immediately preclude learning anything extraordinary.  You’re stuck fighting the “tar baby”.

A Real Hobby is the enjoyment of a favored activity without the need of an audience.  Private enjoyment.  Everything else is a cry: “Look at me!” and unworthy of a Neural Revolutionist.

A way around the Ruling Powers of Ordinary Consciousness: don't talk to yourself about what you are doing (remember, consciousness is the last to know).  Consider: what is the use of talking to yourself at all? Who is talking to who?  Don't respond to your internal voices; nothing fruitful happens when you tell yourself what you're doing.  In this regard, note the continuing existence/success of diet books and self-help books/tapes in mundane life. This is proof-positive they're failures; they can’t work. If they worked, they would soon have no market to sell to.  They are a form of Life's talking to Itself and accomplishing nothing. The first real taste of strength/power comes in being able to not talk to yourself.

“Wants” per se aren't bad, but you must understand the basis of them: they are useless for The Neural Revolution.  Remember: ‘wants’ are Life-dictated, and in accord with Life’s agenda, which makes no provision for Extraordinary Neural Effort/Vision.
