A
series of verses by Paul
Williams
Page 1
The only sin is self-hatred.
It is the act of negation
It is the opposite of faith
There is no such thing as evil
The concept is a crutch.
We will not heal until we throw away the crutch
To heal is to become healthier.
To become healthier is to enjoy a freer flow of energy.
It is the flow that gets us high.
To perceive something as "evil" is to imagine that
That object, that person, is not a part of me.
he is something else.
To perceive "evil" is to attempt to deny
that we are all one
We have a myth that relates to this.
The myth is God and Satan.
The fallen angel, Lucifer --
Cast out of heaven for disobeying God
God who is good. Lucifer who is not-good.
Not-God. Evil.
But who is God trying to kid?
God is All. There is nothing that is not God.
Lucifer is God. There is no distance
One can not fall from grace.
One can pretend, perhaps, that that brother over yonder
Page 2
is not me, he is something else, he is everything
that I cast out of myself - one can pretend
but not for long.
There is no way to cast out any part of one's self
Systems of energy contain no garbage. There is
no such thing as garbage
Dear God, the jig is up.
stop chasing your tail. Embrace your self.
Lucifer returns to Heaven!
Let there be dancing in the streets.
The only sin is self-hatred
We call it sin but it's true name is delusion
We have got to get ourselves back to the Garden
Easily done.
We are in the Garden.
Let us open our eyes.
Page 3
If you let go, something will happen.
Fear is always anticipation of the unknown.
Most human energy flow problems relate to
The inability to relax.
Fear of letting go.
If you let go, something will happen.
Fear of the unknown.
Rational mind :: wants to make a deal ::
first tell me what will happen,
and then I’ll let go.
Fuck you.
No one ever knows what’s going to happen.
Ever.
The future—next moment-------is unknowable-------unknown.
Rational mind won’t believe that.
He is afraid to.
Page 4
Sometimes it is enlightening to have a word for
God; sometimes it is blinding.
If you make a list of words for God,
you will have a list of all words.
You will not have God.
Energy flows through all things;
it rests in none of them.
Page 5
Guilt is a form of self-hatred.
Also self-indulgence.
No one benefits from your feeling guilty.
Except you ------- you use guilt to shield yourself
from the pain of awareness.
When you short-circuit your energy,
you cheat us all.
Then use that as excuse for further short-circuiting.
There is a way out of this trap.
Don't feel guilty.
Don't cop out.
Accept responsibility for your actions.
Do what's right.
Don't live in the past.
Learn from the past.
Do right in the present.
Page 6
What is right?
Right is what feels right.
Intuitive awareness.
You at this moment know exactly what’s right
for you to do at this moment.
No one else knows / no facts are relevant.
Think of yourself as a piece of equipment, if you like.
You are a human body with a human mind superimposed.
Through the subconscious of that mind you are linked with,
are a part of, have access to all human consciousness
everywhere.
Through your subconscious.
You are a sensitive instrument.
You are a physical, emotional, spiritual extension
of the whole human race.
You are an individual. A particular extension.
An extremity. You are defined by your own conception of
“you.”
Self.
Through your subconscious, you have access to All.
You are a sensitive instrument.
At any given moment you can feel what’s right and do it.
It (feeling) requires no effort on your part.
It is what you were designed to do.
It is you.
No one else is the same person, and nowhere else is this
moment.
You are a piece of equipment.
Can you see a table, or hear a voice?
Then you can feel what’s right.
Page 7
You are God.
Page 8
Each man is an island
We are all one being.
Each man is an Island, alone, cut-off, distant, full
of the pain of that distance, reaching out every moment
to ease his loneliness, becoming ever more conscious of
his alone-ness, moving heaven and earth to fill that
empty place, that gnawing hunger, that bottomless pit
of the heart that is always deepest just at the moment
you think you’ve finally filled it. It is absurd,
it is unbearable, it is the force that keeps us going,
the destroyer of peace, the sole motivation, outward
urge, the source of all pain and joy, hope and despair,
hatred, love, the meaning of life.
We are all one being, cut off from our Self by oceans of
Distance, struggling for awareness but blinded by
Terror, desperate for peace but unable to rest.
Each man is an island.
Each island is an extension of the same damn planet.
Page 9
The past and the future are inevitable.
The past and the future do not exist.
Page 10
What is this word “efficiency”?
Sometimes it seems a close cousin to Death.
We are encouraged not to linger, not to enjoy life,
to hurry up and get it done so we’ll have time
for something else.
Something else?
What?
Efficiency the destroyer, millions upon millions of
living dead, done in by the electric can-opener
and the automobile.
Progress is our most important product,
babies are our business,
time is money,
life is cheap.
Modern technology, modern business, the modern state
give us everything we need
except breathable air, drinkable water, edible food,
meaningful work, freedom from fear, freedom to love,
freedom to be ourselves, courage, pride, friendship,
hope.
The moral of the story is: don’t be in such a hurry.
Beware creeping efficiency.
Slow down and live.
Page 11
Dear Abby:
If we merge into group consciousness and Unity,
one being, will I lose my individuality? I’ve had
it a long time and am rather attached to it.
“Concerned”
Dear “Concerned”:
We already are one being. You are still an
individual, so clearly there’s nothing to worry about. In
fact,
the more you are aware of and act like yourself, the
more valuable you are to the total creature. Unlike the
modern corporate/socialist state, which requires carbon-
copy invariant “individuals” in order for its computers
to predict and control social economic political events,
the living breathing organically-structured being that
inhabits this planet, that is now in the process of
becoming conscious of itself, has need of the greatest
possible diversity in its component parts. The more
divers an ecological system, the healthier it is. So
embrace your individuality, your self-ness. You have
nothing to lose but your credit cards.
Love, Abby
Page 12
Truth is what sounds right.
Beauty is what looks right.
Beware of symmetry.
Page 13
Beware means be aware.
Page 14
It is not possible to make a mistake.
In the beginning, God created all this stuff, then
put Adam and then Even in the middle of it, and
they could dig it all right. It was paradise. Then
God, who was no dummy, said “Look kids, I’ve got
Some business to take care of, have fun and do
whatever you feel like, but whatever you do, don’t
touch that tree over there.” So of course they did,
and God came back, threw a fit, tore up the lease
and threw them out.
So the story goes.
And it all rings true. Adam and Even, Mankind, ate of
the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil
and lost their primal innocence, expanded their
awareness and they were on their way, they couldn’t
turn back, like all our actions their act was irrevocable.
Okay.
But what is this bullshit about a religion based on
REGRETTING that move?
It isn’t possible to make a mistake, is it?
Page 15
We are God-----took us a long time to figure it out,
didn’t it?-------and it’s high time we stopped messing
around with this guilt crap and got down to business,
which is, I think, creating Heaven on Earth.
Let’s affirm our past and say goodbye to it and
get to work on the present.
Page 16
Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
Page 17
Vote with your life.
Vote yes.
Page 18
Each man creates himself.
Each of us creates himself anew at each moment.
Each of us creates himself and the world he lives in,
the world as it seems.
The world as it is.
Each of us is responsible for every aspect
of his creation.
Page 19
Each person’s needs are different.
Increasing awareness means increasing awareness
of this fact.
Increasing awareness of this fact means the dissolution
and collapse of all existing governments,
economic systems, educational systems,
conceptual systems.
So it goes.
Change is a constant.
Page 20
It isn’t what you know. Stop showing off.
Stop showing off. It isn’t what you do.
It’s what you are that matters.
Page 21
Words contain no awareness.
They can only trigger awareness.
It does no good to try to impress a man
with some thought he can’t relate to.
But if you can make him realize the obvious,
that might change his life.
A few men realizing the obvious and communicating
with each other can create a chain-reaction.
There is nothing so potent as an idea whose time
has come.
By doing nothing more than realizing and accepting
the obvious, a man can change the world.
The world is constantly changing. It is constantly
being changed.
Page 22
The creature that lives on this planet, that now
begins to be conscious of himself as a creature,
is not merely the species man. He/she/it is the
sum, the continuity, of all life, bacterium and
mountain lion, dandelion and virus, octopus and
mushroom, maple tree and man.
Man alone is not God any more than
a brain in a jar is a man. Man alone is absurd,
a meaningless concept.
Life is divine.
Page 23
Life is a continuity. All things are related
All beings are interdependent. They cannot exist
without each other.
They do not exist without each other.
Page 24
Man is the only creature that poisons his own drinking
water.
Obviously then the next stage for man is to become the
creature that restores and cares for his own drinking
water.
And everyone else’s of course.
We’re all in this thing together.
Page 25
A person who competes is a person who does not know
who he is.
He is suffering from stifled awareness.
A person who feels jealous is a person who does not
know what he has.
He is suffering from stifled awareness.
The amazing thing is, it’s not that easy to stifle
awareness.
It requires constant diligence.
You have to really work at it to be miserable.
Page 26
Possessiveness is a form of doubt.
People cling to what they (think they) have because
they doubt that they’re worthy of it.
If they knew their own worth, they’d know there is
no need to cling.
You can’t always get what you want.
But you get what you need.
And you always have more than you could want.
The wanting just gets in the way of enjoying
what you have.
Page 27
Acquisition is a greater pleasure than possession.
And since you get what you need, the easiest way
to acquire stuff is to give so freely of what you
have that you’re always in need.
Less stuff to carry around that way, too.
It is always a pleasure to participate in the flow
of energy.
Page 28
Participating in the energy flow is the
only satisfaction there is in life.
Page 29
High sex is pure energy flow.
Guilt is an inhibitor.
That’s why it is said that he cannot love,
who does not love himself.
Love is affirmation.
Page 30
Love is affirmation.
Jealousy, possessiveness are doubt.
Jealousy and possessiveness have nothing to do
with love
Every act of love should be cause for joy in
every person who is aware of it.
To be angered by the fact of love
is to be afraid of life.
Page 31
Shame.
Shame is the result of failing to do what one feels
is right; or it is a failure to have faith in one’s own
feelings in the face of social pressure.
To be ashamed is to judge oneself; one should
never judge oneself; one should never judge.
If you are doing what feels right to you, if you are
honest and forthright in your feelings, that is the
best you can do. If your friends and neighbors do not
understand, your responsibility is to continue to do right
until they do understand. To do less than this is to
back off from awareness.
If you are not doing what feels right to you, do not
be ashamed. Put all your energy into the effort to do
right.
Page 32
I can’t.
That is what people love to say
I can’t.
It’s never true
Page 33
Hard work is relaxing. It’s as easy as falling off a log.
It’s a pleasure to make full use of one’s body.
It’s a pleasure to make full use of one’s mind.
Hard work is often a drag to anticipate.
Don’t anticipate, don’t do what you don’t need to do,
and you will never feel lazy.
It is a pleasure to be part of the energy flow.
A body or mind that is seldom in full motion
is a body or mind that can seldom fully rest.
Page 34
Those who fear anarchy and seek law and order should know
that all life is in perfect order and nature’s Law
is never broken…
It is only Man’s poor primitive structures that are in
disarray.
Those who fear authority and seek personal freedom should
know that every living creature is free to follow his will
and
that the only authority he need ever obey is vested in that
will.
If you life lacks order, it is because you have not yet
accepted nature’s order, God’s order.
If you do not feel free, it is because you have not yet
declared your own freedom, you are waiting for it to be
given to you.
You will wait forever.
Page 35
Man, that creature who believes his purpose is to control
and conquer Nature, is just now beginning to remember
the obvious----that he is a part of Nature himself.
He has fought his way to the top of the planetary spinal
cord,
inflicting damage every step of the way. Now, bewildered,
he looks around: What am I doing here?
Assuming responsibility, answers a still, small voice
all around him.
Page 36
Let us remember, our lives are but moments in the flow
of eternity..
And let us also remember that eternity is but a flow of lives
like ours.
Page 37
It’s all up to you.
You are completely responsible for your life.
You are the creator.
It’s an awesome burden and a great freedom.
It’s all up to you.
When you take responsibility for one life, you assume
responsibility for all life.
If you fail to take responsibility for your life, you
do not exist.
Tough, Isn’t it?
When you finally realize how really tough it is, when
you finally accept life, when you finally find there is
no way out but self-awareness and the incredible pain and
loneliness and responsibility it brings, then and only
then will you begin to be alive, and begin to know the
joy of freedom.
Page 38
You know what has to be done.
Why don’t you do it?
Page 39
Stamp out hesitation before it grows into fear.
Page 40
The nature of fear is that it feeds itself. Under proper
conditions,
it feeds itself incredibly quickly. Reason is not fast enough
to
stamp out fear. That is the mistake most of us make. Do not
argue
with fear. Wipe it from your mind the instant you recognize
it.
Practice. Become skilled at recognizing the earliest
symptoms. The
only way to deal with fear is by reflex. Stop it. Wipe it
out. Shoot first,
ask questions later.
Consider a tightrope-walker. The thought begins: what if I
were to
get scared? What if I were to look down? The thought must be
killed
at the first sound of “what if.” To wait any longer is to
lose one’s
certainty, to lose one’s footing, to plunge. We are all
tightrope-
walkers. We must learn that reflex to survive.
Page 41
Reflex. That’s how to deal with fear.
Listen.
Learn.
Fear is the greatest enemy of awareness.
It leaves shame and guilt far behind.
Fear is the force that holds us back.
And we need not be held back any long!
Listen.
There is a way to deal with fear.
First: accept that fear is not needed, that there is never
A reason to let it live. Carry this knowledge with you
always;
It is your first line of defense.
Second: learn to recognize your fears, in all their forms,
In the earliest stages possible.
Third: learn reflex. Any fear-killing mantra will do. Say:
I shall not fear. I need not fear. Write your own mantra.
Learn
it. Use it. Killing fear is like stamping out a fire. Reflex.
Fear: stamp it out.
Fourth: Never, under any circumstances, think first. That
will
destroy reflex. Shoot first. Stamp it out. Then think, if you
must.
Page 42
It’s hard to stop the reasoning mind, which of course is the
breeder
of fear. Here is an argument your mind is sure to come up
with; you
may as well be familiar with it.
The argument is that fear is needed, fear is a warning, fear
protects
us from danger, if a baby didn’t learn to fear the hot stove
he would
be burned again and again. Not to think about fear, not to
let it
live, so the argument goes, is to blind oneself to danger.
Your mind will phrase the argument; your mind must answer it.
Must
answer it in advance; these arguments are deadly if they wait
till fear
is present, raging. Fear is born of reason, and it destroys
reason.
One must not use reason to combat fear.
So think about this argument now. Do we need fear? Is it our
protection?
This is what I think. I think fear is an alarm clock. The
first thing
you do when the alarm sounds is shut it off! Then respond to
the
alarm, collect yourself, take action.
And that’s step five: be aware. Don’t ignore fear. Stamp it
out, then
stay awake. It should be obvious what caused the fear.
Thinking
about it is more likely to bury the awareness than promote
it. If it isn’t
obvious, don’t belabor it. Just stay awake. Keep your eyes
open. Be
alert.
Oh, by the way. It isn’t fear that keeps the baby from the
stove, once
he’s touched it. It’s awareness. Pain and awareness are the
same thing.
Fear and awareness are not.
Fear is the mindkiller.
1) Fear must be stamped out. Accept that.
2) Learn to recognize fear.
3) Stamp it out. Reflex.
4) Don’t think about it.
5) Respond. Be alert. Be aware.
Page 43
It works.
Reflex works. The mantra works.
You need not fear.
If you read these words and continue to fear, it is only
because
you want to.
Why do you want to?
Don’t ask.
Stamp it out.
Page 44
A healthy mind is a mind through which energy flows freely.
Free-flowing energy gets us high.
Fear is a disease. It blocks the flow of energy. It spreads.
It
destroys. If it is not stopped, it kills.
Even a small quantity of fear will keep us from getting high.
Fear seems to be a bacterial disease.
Doubt is anemia.
A serious case of doubt, serious lack of self-confidence,
will leave
the spirit wide open to the ravages of fear (and greed,
shame, guilt)
Building self-confidence is the key to
spiritual/mental/physical
health.
Page 45
The way to build self-confidence is to start doing things
you’re not sure
you can do.
Once you start, keep at it. Never give up. Push harder when
you
have to, relax when you can. If you don’t keep going until
you’re
satisfied, you will never know how much you can do. You can
do
anything.
Your strength is equal to your need.
Don’t do anything you don’t have to do.
Page 46
Most undertakings don’t take forever. In each of our lives
there are
plenty of things we would like to be doing that we could be
doing.
But we hesitate. We’re afraid of failure. We’re afraid of
frustration.
We lack self-confidence.
It’s a vicious circle and it must be broken. It must be
broken. Once
you decide that, that’s all there is to it. Make a
commitment. Start
carrying it through. Carry it through, and the next
commitment will be
easier to make. Complete this project and renewed confidence
will
make it easier to start the next. The circle breaks here.
Inertia is a force that works against you when you feel like
doing
something but you’re doing nothing. But if you seize the day
and
start doing something, then inertia works with you, it keeps
you going
till the job is done.
The way to build self-confidence is to start doing things.
Things
you’re sure you can do, like walking to the icebox for
another beer,
won’t improve matters any, so the way to build
self-confidence is to
start doing things you’re not sure you can do. Like flirting
with
strangers. Like baking your own bread. Like painting a
picture. Like
moving to the Yukon. Whatever it is, the trick is: stop
thinking about
It. Do it. Seize the day and get started and stay with it,
and things will
get easier and easier from here.
Page 47
To keep your self-confidence, keep giving yourself new
challenges.
Make sure they’re new ones, not the same old tricks in new
disguises.
Page 48
The key is commitment. Once you’re committed it’s hard to
back
down. So you go ahead and do it, and grow that much stronger
and surer.
Throwing yourself in the water is the best way to learn how
to swim.
Beware “education” that’s all preparation. The only form of
education
is experience; all the preparation in the world will only
teach you how
to prepare.
Why wait any longer? Jump in the water. The world will begin.
Or you’ll drown, if you really have no will at all. Better
luck next
life.
Page 49
All will is based on the will to survive. If you haven’t got
that,
you probably aren’t living.
Page 50
We are on the verge of the new age, a whole new world.
Mankind’s consciousness, our mutual awareness, is going to
make
a quantum leap.
Everything will change. You will never be the same
All this will happen just as soon as you’re ready.
Page 51
Come on in; the water’s fine.
He who hesitates is lost.
He who chooses life is found.
Page 52
We are learning not to draw lines.
No lines between black and white
No lines between young and old.
No lines between our side and your side.
No lines between me and you.
Page 53
Not to draw lines is not to discriminate.
The ability to discriminate is the key to perception.
Are we taking leave of our senses?
Maybe.
Maybe we’re learning to draw lines with disappearing ink.
Page 54
One moment I’m angry at something.
I don’t like it.
I can put it is a category, try to dislike it forever, teach
my children
to dislike it.
Or, I can express my anger, and forget about it.
Next time we meet, we’re friends.
Page 55
We are learning not to draw lines.
No lines between good and evil.
No lines between right and wrong.
No lines between man and woman.
No lines between god and man.
Page 56
Not to draw lines is to discriminate only for the moment.
Is not to go beyond the situation.
Is not to go beyond the world that’s real.
Page 57
Here and now, boys.
Or else spend infinite future
fighting quarrels of endless past.
Page 58
You must choose:
Do you wish to see (perceive) nothing, or do you want to
see things as they really are?
It is not hard to see things as they really are. It is simply
a matter of tearing down walls, ridding oneself of defenses
and presumption, rendering oneself vulnerable, an idiot, a
fool
But it is not easy to see things as they really are, because
It
is painful. It is real, it requires response, it’s an
incredible
commitment.
To go nine-tenths of the way is to suffer at every moment
utter madness.
To go all the way is to become sane.
Page 59
Most people prefer blindness.
But most people are a dying race.
Page 60
To be born is to become totally vulnerable and open, to
abandon all security
In exchange for life.
We must not fear to be born anew every moment.
Page 61
Babies are high all the time.
They assume nothing; they draw no lines.
They are completely open to pain and joy.
Babies see things as they really are.
Page 62
Children are high a lot of the time.
They are more open than adults, make fewer assumptions, allow
more things to happen to them.
They seem to have infinite energy.
Page 63
But do not think adults are fallen angels!
It is not possible to fall from grace.
Adults have access to infinite energy; they can free
themselves
from assumptions.
They can be as high as they choose.
But they cannot escape responsibility.
And if you don’t embrace your responsibility
---love It as you love yourself---
you will never get high.
You will never enjoy free energy flow.
Page 64
What is responsibility?
Ah-might as well ask, what is self?
It’s your responsibility and your self, and no book and no
person
can tell you anything about it.
Page 65
Don’t try to find out what your responsibility is.
It isn’t a what.
It’s a relationship.
It isn’t something you know, it’s something you do.
Try to get closer to it.
Try to become more yourself.
Page 66
Don’t try to find out who you are.
Page 67
We can talk about our responsibility, if you like.
“We In this case are men and women; this book is written for
men and women; it isn’t written for or by God; at the moment
you become fully aware of your Godhood, this book is
irrelevant.
Our responsibility is to find our place in the flow of life
on
this planet.
Page 68
We must cease all action that is counter to the flow of life.
We must cease all inaction that is counter to the flow of
life.
Some of these actions and inactions are already obvious to
us.
So let us start now.
Let every individual reading these words remove himself from
all
participation in any activity that is detrimental to the flow
of Life. Let every individual reading these words undertake
every
activity that is necessary for him to do in order that the
harmony of the life flow be preserved.
Page 69
We must cease all action that is counter to the flow of life.
We must cease all inaction that is counter to the flow of
life.
Many of these actions and inactions are not yet obvious to
us. They
will become obvious as we raise our level of awareness.
So let us start now.
Page 70
When we reach total awareness-self awareness-we will have
found
our place in the flow of life on this planet.
When we find our place in the flow of life on this planet, we
will
be totally aware.
It will no longer be possible for any Individual to be our of
harmony
with all life.
It will be no more possible than it is possible not to
breathe.
Page 71
When we-the human race-reach total awareness, an even more
Incredible thing will happen.
All life on this planet will become totally aware!
We will all wake up together.
Page 72
Then there will be one creature, newly born, alone and full
of pain
and joy; and that creature will see things as they really
are, and
will be high all the time.
Until he grows up.
Page 73
Do not be afraid to love.
Page 74
Do not be afraid to love men, women, the
very young, the very old, animals, plants,
sudden acquaintances, lifelong friends,
your children, your parents, strangers,
yourself.
Page 75
Love is affirmation.
You are God.
Give us your blessing.
Page 76
Let yourself be blessed.
Page 77
Listen to no one who tells you how to love.
Your love is like no other, and that is what makes it
beautiful.
Your self is your divinity.
Express your self.
Page 78
Sooner or later a person begins to notice that everything
that happens
to him is perfect, relates directly to who he is, had to
happen, was
meant to happen, plays Its little role in fulfilling his
destiny.
When he encounters difficulty, it no longer occurs to him to
complain-he has learned to expect nothing, has learned that
loss and
frustration are a part of life, and come at their proper
time-Instead he
asks himself, why is this happening?…by which he means
what can I learn from this, how will it strengthen me, make
me more aware?
He lets himself be strengthened, lets himself grow, just as
he
lets himself relax and enjoy (and grow) when life is gentle
to him.
Strengthened by this simple notion, simple awareness, that
life is perfect, that all things come at the proper moment
and that he is
always the perfect person for the situation he finds himself
In, a
person begins to feel more and more In tune with his inner
nature,
begins to find it easier and easier to do what he knows is
right. All
chance events appear to him to be intended; all intentional
actions he
clearly perceives as part of the working of Chance. Anxiety
seldom
troubles him; he knows his death will come at Its proper
moment;
he knows his actions are right and therefore whatever comes
to pass
as a result of them will be what is meant to happen. When he
does
feel anxiety, he realizes it is because of that thing he’s
been aware of,
but…He perceives the anxiety as a message that he’ll have to
stop hesitating if he wants to stay high…He knows that he is
out
of tune because he’s let himself get out of tune; and because
he knows
Page 79
he can, he begins to take action. He enjoys his high life;
does not
enjoy anxiety; so he stops hesitating and does what he has to
do.
He does not live in a state of bliss, though perhaps he feels
himself moving toward one-or toward something, he doesn’t
know
what it is but it is the way he has to go, they journey
towards it
is the only life he enjoys. it is hard; it is exciting; it is
satisfying, lonely,
joyous, frustrating, puzzling, enlightening, real; it is his
life, that’s all.
He accepts it.
Sooner or later a person begins to notice…
Page 80
The affirmation of one’s own life-the acceptance of one’s
destiny as it manifests itself in each moment-is the supreme
act of faith
It’s incredibly fucking easy
It’s a hell of a commitment
Page 81
Nothing is more important than doing what is right.
That is so absurdly obvious that most people pay no attention
to it.
Most people seem to think that what is obvious is beneath
them.
They pass up truth in favor of something more intellectually
stimulating.
Page 82
It is never difficult to feel what’s right.
Sometimes, perhaps, there seems to be a conflict between
two things to do that both feel right.
When this happens to you, accept it as a message that you
are not in tune with your self. Do not try to make a
decision.
Relax, and allow your feelings to take over.
You are a precision Instrument, and you can always feel
what’s
right
Don’t fight it.
Relax.
Do It.
Page 83
Decision-making is a vice. Some addicts reach a stage where
they do almost nothing but agonize over decisions.
It’s a subtle form of hesitation.
Like all addictions, the only cure is cold turkey.
You could spend the rest of your life trying to decide
whether to
take the cure.
Page 84
All morality must be based on inner truth.
Any morality that goes against inner awareness is immoral.
Page 85
Don’t ever think you know what’s right for the other guy.
He might start thinking he knows what’s right for you.
Page 86
Two people do not have to agree on what’s right to be
together.
They just have to want to be together.
If that sounds simple, try it sometime.
Page 87
We are afraid of committing ourselves, and we are afraid of
letting go.
to make a commitment is the creative, which is the realm of
heaven.
To let go is the receptive, which is the realm of earth.
so we extend our lives into neither of these realms of
perfection,
though we could easily inhabit both.
Our fears interfere, and we remain in purgatory.
Yet how little effort it would take to let go of our
meaningless
activities, and commit our energies to overcoming this fear
and attaining heaven and earth!
Page 88
Pay attention; that’s always good advice. It’s amazing
how much frustration can be avoided and how much joy and
aware-
ness gained just by paying attention, to yourself and the
people
and the world around you, wherever you may be.
It’s the greatest show on earth, and it’s happening right
here right now!
The present is always more interesting than the future or the
past.
Page 89
The only way to enjoy the show, to enjoy life, is as a
participant.
Perhaps it’s the people who think they’re spectators who
spread
the idea that all pleasure must be paid for.
Don’t pay for anything-
life is free.
Page 90
Money and property are obsolete concepts; there is a new
world
In which the only economics is the economics of energy; when
you stop dealing with the concepts of money and property, you
will find yourself in this new world.
Page 91
The first law of the economics of energy is:
you get what you need.
So don’t worry about freezing or starving to death before
you get this new world figured out; there’s nothing to figure
out;
It just happens to you.
Page 92
Let go of the old world and the new one will grow around you
like a new skin.
Page 93
(Shedding the old skin is the act of revolution.)
Page 94
((Revolution is a personal matter. You create the world;
you must change it.))
Page 95
(((Do it.)))
Page 96
Repeat when necessary.
We never outgrow our need for change.
Page 97
The second law of the economics of energy is:
It is not possible to make a mistake.
Page 98
The third law is:
you can make it if you try.
Page 99
We each have access to all the energy there is, all we can
conceive of.
Which is infinite energy, In the sense that a circle is
infinite.
Energy circulates like blood; at every moment blood is
flowing through every cell In the body.
Each cell gets what it needs. It makes demands, when it
needs to. Those demands are never ignored.
Page 100
There are those who say that a cell, when it is part of a
body, is not and individual, it lacks the amoebas freedom.
Those who say that do not know that they, and the amoebae,
are already inextricably part of a larger organism, call
Life; or perhaps they do not know that they are individuals.
That organism, that creature, of which we are each a part,
Is the biosphere, the living surface, of this planet Earth.
That stirring we all feel, that move toward
group-consciousness,
Is the biosphere of Earth becoming aware of its existence.
It is being born.
We are waking up.
Page 101
For what it’s worth, the millennium is upon us
Page 102
our responsibility, as individual cells of a living organism
Is to perform our individual functions as well as possible.
Our orders come from within; they are not imposed from
without.
We are free to be ourselves, as fully as we can; and the more
we are ourselves, the better we will be functioning, and the
more satisfaction we will feel.
Our lives will grow richer and richer as the health of the
total organism improves.
our destiny is unimaginably high.
Page 103
At the depths of despair, nothing matters, I can’t do
anything,
got to get out of here, walls falling in, throw me a rope, I
can’t move, can’t stand it, nothing, throw me a rope…
And one day, like any other day, finally tired of waiting for
help that never comes, make a rope, tie it to a rock throw it
up pull yourself out and walk away…
Page 104
And it took all that time
just to find yourself
And that’s how long it had to take;
and It was well worth every moment.
Page 105
You hesitate, you think and struggle and finally you don’t
even think about it any more, you just lie there in defeat,
you just lie there forever
and then one day you get up and do what you have to
do, and go on along to the next thing.
Page 106
The act of will is the creative act, the generative force,
things at a distance seem different than what’s nearby so we
have the word God for the force that created life somewhere
long ago,
distant, In the Beginning, and we get confused, perhaps
we also call it God that created man, that creature to
Inexplicably
different from other creatures, perhaps we even call it God
or son
of God that walked on Earth and altered consciousness two
thousand
years ago, always God is off in the distance, the creative
force is
something in the past, we do not yet see the past as a time
that once
was present, or the present as what will be visible as past,
now, it’s all
the same, our scientists looking into the microscope, the
telescope,
looking into the very large, the very small find things that
only
numbers can describe, Quantum Theory, Planck’s Constant, they
can
find no words to describe light, words out of human language,
human experience, only equations to define relationships,
working at
arm’s length, the abstract, distance, why can’t we bring it
home,
things look different at a distance, the horizon, distant
starts, the
curved universe, relativity, It doesn’t make sense,
Heisenberg,
uncertainty, the limits of observation, God is dead, meaning
He
doesn’t seem to exist in the present, here, the speed of
light, a
number, light a particle, light a wave, energy, it’s all
energy, God is
love, what does that mean?, Newton’s laws breaking down,
ancestor
worship breaking down, free enterprise breaking down, it
doesn’t
work, God is dead, anarchy, Big Bang theory of the origin of
the
universe, Steady State theory, where are all these subatomic
particles coming from, where am I who am I, who is man, how
does
he fit into all this, the universe is a creation of the mind,
a function
of the perceptions, philosophers have prove it, science
proved it, but
what is all this stuff man can’t perceive, ultra-violet,
infra-red, the
closer you look at it the further away it gets all this
effort to under-
stand the universe and what does it get us? the atom bomb,
security
Page 107
clearances, nobody believes any more, lost our faith, no
faith in God
the creator, no faith in Christ the saviour, no faith in the
free market,
no faith in the working class, no faith in money, do we dare
to
have faith in each other?
….Ah, wait a minute. Faith in each other. The act of will is
the creative act, the generative force. How did life start on
this planet?
Answer: you can’t stop life. Time is no object. Life just
waited and
waited and one day got up and did it and went on to the next
thing.
Ridiculous? Try and experiment. Try doing nothing. Do it as
long as
you can, do it until you have to do something, you can’t stop
it,
you can’t help it, it may take a long time, time is no
object, I can
wait forever, I’ve got time. Time is a concept. Life is real.
It creates
itself. Will. The generative force. God the Creator. Origin
of life.
What is life? Life is. Try and stop it. Try an experiment.
Set off the
Bomb. Uncertainty. Difficult experiment to observe.
Nevertheless,
outcome certain. you can’t stop life. Cut off an arm. A leg.
Blow
it up. Wait. It grows back. Damnedest stuff. How does it
work?
Let’s figure it out. Here we go again…What is God? You are
God.
I am God. What am I? I am Life. I am the voice of Life. I am
the
voice of life. Me too. Life has many voices. Life has only
one voice.
Listen to me. This is God speaking. Here and now, boys. Right
here in this room. Right here on this planet. No distance.
NO DISTANCE??? No microscopes, telescopes, television
cameras,
priests, no protective glass, no underarm deodorant, no code
of
ethics, no standards of behavior, no laws, no society, no
axioms?
No Distance??? Get back, It’s not safe, this thing could blow
at
any minute, who cares, I don’t give a fuck, let’s enjoy it
white it
lasts. While we last. Here and now.
Page 108
God is what is there when you take away the distance.
All human consciousness is moving towards this awareness.
No field of human endeavor will fail to be revolutionized
by it.
We’re all going to meet in the present.

Those who think man unimportant because of the vastness of
space fail to realize that man is as much bigger than the
smallest
stuff he can perceive as he is smaller than the biggest stuff
her can perceive.
Those who think man important because he is so neatly in the
middle
of things fail to realize that everything is right smack dab
in the
middle of its own range of perception.

If you could look infinitely far forward in time, if you
could
look infinitely far out into space, there is no question what
you would see:
You would see the back of your head.
Page 113
Everybody wants to know
What can I do? We all want to save the planet
pick up the garbage, free our brothers and sisters
stop war and bring the millennium
but what can I do, seriously?
Okay, seriously;
get to reality,
get to your own reality
become yourself,
become incredibly high and real and influence
everyone around you with your vibrations,
no matter how difficult it is,
drop everything else and
start doing the most fantastic, real things you
can think of—
become yourself
get to your own reality.
Page 114
Have faith in your ability to be
don’t try to be someone else, that isn’t being
your mere existence will change the world
don’t hang around trying to figure it out,
be bold and direct and hones and energetic
you know what to do,
If you don’t think you know, do absolutely nothing
until you do, this method never fails, pure
receptive leads to pure creative
Imagine what you could be and
don’t hesitate for a moment
Page 115
take everything that is strong in you
and put it to work
set it free
never mind what anyone thinks
take all your muscles
and stretch them to their limits
you’ll amaze yourself, how good you’ll feel
and how much good you’ll do
just by radiating pure energy outward
-contact high the ultimate form of communication
you are beautiful
be
be
be !
Page 116
become
Page 117
commit yourself to a life in which
you constantly consume your own security
-forcing yourself to seek a higher
security, which you attain and then destroy
in order to go higher still-
It sounds unbearably painful
but it’s just growing pains
didn’t you say you wanted freedom?
freedom is not a TV set and bank account
convenience, security, won’t get you high
won’t even keep you safe
they’ll consume you
and you know it
Page 118
security is quicksand
can it really be anyone’s ambition in life
to become on-half the couple in the life insurance ads?
security. life insurance.
how much are you worth dead?
more than you’re worth alive?
hurry up and die, then
hurry up and be born again
Page 119
open yourself to absolutely anything that
gets thrown at you
-including death, and life-
open all the way
don’t worry about picking out the important stuff,
just let it all get thrown at you
and the important stuff
will be what hits you
all you have to do is not shut anything out
Page 120
security is a glass wall
full security is a glass case that keeps
out all happiness, pain, awareness, change
love, danger, truth
and air
tear down the walls
before you suffocate
Page 121
tear down the walls
we should be together
It isn’t safe
It might be fun
Page 122
let go of everything you’re holding onto
now let go of everything else
Page 123
we can learn to stop struggling
by realizing we’re naturally buoyant
if we relax (and persevere) we cannot
drown
Page 124
abandon all security
you have nothing to lose but your chains
stop clinging
set yourself free
Page 125
This is the truth.
Its’ all true.
Every word that anyone ever tells you is true.
If you could just open far enough,
make the effort to understand.
It is time to destroy the myth of the artist.
We are all artists.
We need to become better art appreciators
There’s plenty of great creation.
We need great listeners, great readers, great perceivers.
Great receptors.
It’s all true; what’s hard is not saying truth but
accepting truth.
Embracing truth.
That is greatness.
Open up.
Page 126
Don’t seek beauty.
Find beauty.
Page 127
All life, day to day and century to century, is a
succession of pride and humility, humility leading to
greater awareness, greater awareness leading to greater
achievement, great achievement leading to pride, pride
breeding blindness, lack of awareness, imbalance, downfall
and a slow return to humility…
Page 128
Maybe now that we’re aware of this cycle
we can transcend it…
Is it possible to be high all the time and not get
cocky about that accomplishment?
It is if you really stay high.
Page 129
Remember, but for the grace of God
we would not be God.
It’s something to think about.
Page 130
The end of the world (heat-death of the universe)
and the moment of creation (in the beginning)
are illusions caused by looking into the distance,
like parallel lines that seem to meet (and stoop,
or start) at the horizon.
Creation (birth, death) is a continual process
that happens in the present; the ability to come
into being is an inherent quality of life, it
is not caused by any outside agent.
Prevent conception/birth is not so easy as
arrogant man may think. (Whether it should or
shouldn’t be prevented is a meaningless question;
at each moment you know what you have to do; wrong-
or-right has ceased to exist in our conceptual
universe.
Life goes on.
Page 131
Make things happen
Let things happen
Page 132
If someone wants to love you and you won’t let them, what
does that mean?
thought: I can’t
awareness: I can do anything I want
thought: I don’t want to
thought: Why not?
awareness: I am afraid.
I am afraid of the commitment, getting involved.
thought: But I am not always afraid. Or I am, but I love
anyway. Because I want the person bad enough to
overcome my fear or hesitation. I care enough to
try. Or I am possessed; the spirit moves me to love
and I do not stop to reason. Those times are easiest
-and most exciting.
awareness: You get what you need.
Page 133
thought: I am limited by my fears
awareness: I cannot eliminate all my fears at once,
but I can push them back. I can be braver,
I can expand my universe
thought: I want to love more, be love more.
awareness: I must open myself, must be willing to
take on greater commitment. The more involved
I dare get, the more love I’ll be able to
share. I must work on my self-confidence. It
is the self that loves, not the body, not the mind.
We must open our selves.
Page 134
We must free ourselves from the patterns that constrain us.
there are two ways of doing this: fasting, and feasting.
Stop watching television, or watch it day and night until
your mind snaps completely.
Stop listening to records, or listen to records to the
exclusion of all else until it drive you mad.
If you fast isn’t getting you high, isn’t changing your life
and thought-patterns, expand it, limit yourself further, take
on greater challenges of deprivation until you’re desperate
enough to see the light.
If your feast isn’t getting you high, speed it up, overload
more and more, strain your senses to the limits and beyond
the
limits, build on the tower till it topples, take in more and
more stimuli ‘til you crack under the strain and break
through.
The goal is renewed awareness, freedom; we can make it if
we try.
Page 135
Repetition deadens awareness.
Repetition deadens awareness.
Break the glass.
Break the glass.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Page 136
Technology is a riddle that has us all puzzled.
The more you examine modern technology the more you find
damage to the Earth’s living environment behind its
every extension.
And since we need to go on living more than we need the
technology, that seems to argue that the technology should
be eradicated.
A short-sighted viewpoint.
what is actually necessary is that me make a technological
advance.
The is not a trivial matter of correction, of course; we
are not talking about installing air pollution control
devices;
we are talking about reform; we are talking about revolution.
Bringing our technology up-to-date with our awareness will
require drastic conceptual changes in almost all complex
equipment now in use.
(An ax is a simple tool; coupled with awareness, it is not
destructive of the environment
A chainsaw is a complex tool; it’s too easy; it tends to
weaken
the awareness of the user; in addition it requires fossil
fuels, which
are destructive to earth and water when obtained, and harmful
to
air and life when burned.
It may further be noted that our supply of fossil fuels and
many metals is almost exhausted, etc. etc.
Similar comparisons can be made between such simple and
complex
tools as bicycles and automobiles, abaci and computers, etc.)
Bringing our technology up to the level of our awareness
is the absolute, unavoidable complement of bring our
awareness
up to the level of our technology, which is where we’ve been
focusing our energy.
Awareness and technology meet in the life-style of the
individual; that is the arena of conflict and change.
Page 137
All complex technology must be reworked so that no machine
operates outside of the flow of life on earth.
Preserving the health of that total organism – not of the
individual –must be the first goal of all our endeavors.
When all tools are designed and used with that in mind, man’s
technology will have advanced satisfactorily into the
present.
Until then, it is criminally inadequate, and must be
destroyed
in order to hasten its rebirth. That is the creative process.
Let’s get to work.
Page 138
Man’s present technology is not a mistake – it is not
possible
to make a mistake-rather it is an extremely primitive
precursor of the incredible organic technology that it is
man’s
destiny to construct/create in this universe.
We must not let our primitive playthings restrict our
creative genius!
We must not cling to the past when there is so much to do
in the present.
Page 139
If you would set to work creating the new technology,
abandon all complex tools. They are misconceptions. All
the brilliant discoveries and inventions of our times will be
made with our minds and hands and senses, aided by simple
tools and concepts.
This is true now as it has been true throughout history.
Page 140
Many of the greatest discoveries of our times will be made
by those who, in addition to listening to their hearts and
to each other, listen to the rest of the kingdom of life;
to the trees, birds, insects, fishes, worms, algae; to the
oceans and forests and mountains and deserts and skies; to
all consciousness that dwells on this planet; to all of
life, not man’s fragmentary awareness alone.

The kingdom of heaven is within us.
All we have to do is find our selves, express our selves,
manifest our selves, and we’ll find it all around us.
Why wait any longer….?

Refuse to have anything to do with any thing (like a
nation or person or corporation) that seeks to grow
wealthier rather than healthier, larger rather than truer.
Do nothing to contribute to that cancerous growth.
Isolate it. Let it die.

Energy is what fills the universe
Energy is what comes and goes
Consciousness is what defines the energy
Under that consciousness we’re each in touch with all of it.
Page 146
Under means within.
Page 147
Truth is found within.
And bringing it to consciousness
is the act of creation.
page 148
Love is the affirmation of energy
that keeps it flowing through us.
Life is the self-creating energy creature we call God.
