billy's basic detachment practice

[Billy]

To follow up on REASON, I took an excerpt from a book I wrote 4 years ago:

Ayn Rand gave me a profoundly sensible understanding of my own reason and logic,
but reading Carlos Castaneda (considered antithetical to Rand), subliminally convinced
reason to "Kum ba yah" (come by here) to that infinitesimal energy. You need reason
to open up and summon energy. The subconscious mind is very powerful. Reason
cannot claim by logic alone the space, the stillness, the silence, the unknown possibility.
Reason knows it needs abandonment to a creative passion and a love affair with
energy. Wheel of Time (Castaneda) was a 'go to' for me. I randomly picked a passage
and thought it through, because it was on a different plain.

I am giving you an idea of what can be realized. Most of what follows should just be
enjoyed simply.

Why do 'spiritual people' write so many books? I mean really, if one repeats over and
over ad nauseam to be in the now, who wants to be there? Seems like an
inauspiciously boring prospect.
Joking aside, want of attracting better conditions, by prayer and seeking, actually does
contradict reason's effort to free itself from constant self-reflection. You, your world,
ARE sufficient already. You need to give up the nonsense of appealing, because
nonsense is what it is. Change is irrelevant to authenticity.

Natural wholeness as you are should be the focal point of reason. Anything else is
self-pity. I am telling you this straight-up.

To want more, becomes restrictive. To want nothing but what you are, is ironically
expansive.

To want more, necessarily pertains to an image you have of yourself, and so your
thoughts and actions are bound to conditions defining that image. Hence, you live as a
societal model. That 'person' cannot exist, and so you live a conflict.

You spend energy to maintain a variety of images. The infrequent times of
authenticity you do have, are lifeless, because you've wasted so much energy.
