The Faux Pas Press #166: Analysis is Absurd
The Faux Pas Press #166
Analysis is Absurd
By Chambo Fresh
Inwardly I am afraid. Afraid of loneliness, and therefore, being afraid of loneliness, I do all kinds of neurotic things. I attach myself to the savior, the guru, the leader. There is that kind of fear. And then there is the fear of not being able to arrive. The expansion of consciousness. We used to be afraid of being left behind which has translated itself to the fear of not arriving. I must identify myself in order to be. It is possible that we made God in our image - not the other way around. Tremendous sense of uncertainty, right? Not being able to be, we must say, "I'm just going to do my own thing." Fears, fears, fears.
How am I able to deal with the obvious fears that I have described? Is there a way to deal with fear from the root up. Each branch would take a lifetime. And I begin to analyze my fear which becomes a form of paralysis. I'm not escaping, I am not rationalizing, I am not analyzing because I see the absurdity of it. No explanations, no running. I am faced with this thing. Simmering beneath the surface are the unconscious fears. When I see this thing, something else comes out. It is important for the mind to be free of fear. I see outwardly what my fears have produced. Now, I consciously invite them to come to the surface. Do you follow? Conscious can only deal with the things that it knows. But it can not observe what is not known.
The mind can see completely these things. What are we doing in relation to what we are saying? Is there real listening? If we were to relate to each other - relationship would flourish. But our reputation is at stake when we listen. The conscious mind can not invite and expose fears very often - our survival is at stake. There is no escape from fear. I can not run off to the psychiatrist. I understand now that I am left with this - this my little baby to cared after. What shall I do? Some action has to be taken. I can not do a thing about fear. But there is the energy which has been gathered when all dissipation of energy has ended. I have tremendous energy because there is no dissipation. What takes place? What has created fear? What has brought it about? You, my neighbor, my country - I have done it. Not the observer I. But the disorder does not require another mind. What has brought this fear? What is the answer? The answer couldn't be academic. What is the answer to this fact of fear which has been sustained, which has carried on from generation to generation? Can the mind observe this fear?
I am afraid of what is being said about me. This is the result of thought. I see the buried ruins of thought, responsible for all creation. Thought is responsible for all of this. I am afraid of the movement of thought. Thought can only function within the field of knowledge. The association of words - can the mind observe this without the interference of thoughts? Can the mind observe without the movement of thought? A living thing must be understood. Yes, we, the Living. Not analyzed with mirrors of thought spiraling downward.
