Yes Tom - I am in desperately in need of guidence!

You don't need a guide if all you wish to do is wander aimlessly.

 Could you tell me
how to switch off this 'internal narration' that is not simply verbal
but encompases the entire range of sensory organisation feedback?

Sit still. Pay attention to what's happening.  When you notice that
you're telling yourself what's happening, pay attention to that, too.
Don't judge.  Don't fight.  Just accept.  Slowly, over time, the
compulsion to tell yourself what's happening will subside and you will
simply pay attention to what is without having to narrate it.  The
more you do this, the easier it'll get.

there's no need to post more irrelevant Eliza-type crap.

Yes, I restrict the meaning of the words I use to how those words are
actually defined.  That is how a word becomes a meaningful tool for
the communication of ideas.


Sure, and then by necessity if someone responds to it, they will always have
a different idea of what you mean than you.

Great - that's wonderful advice for Zazen practise Tom, but now why
don't you apply a caveat for when you're moving around, interacting
with the world?

Because you haven't sufficient discipline to avoid becoming
distracted.

You're trying to find excuses for why you don't achieve anything.  Any
distraction at all will serve as such an excuse.  So keep it as
absolutely simple as possible.

Bodhi is no tree,
nor is the mind a standing mirror bright.
Since all is originally empty,
where does the dust alight?

This was in response to Shenxiu's convention wisdom (re - the two
truths) -

The body is a Bodhi tree,
the mind a standing mirror bright.
At all times polish it diligently,
and let no dust alight.

Chemicals and electrical currents do not narrate.

That is cos you restrict your meaning.

It is about talking.
What is talking, it is communicating.
What is communicating, if not any and all communication ?

Hell, they have to capacity to span many light-years of space and have
both superior technology and superior minds.  Are you worried that
they cannot outwit a few paranoid backwater rustics (galactically
speaking) unless *you* help them?

No not at all.  We have to help ourselves though. The Space Brothers
are required to obey certain laws.  One very important law is that
they can't infringe mankind's free will.

It is very helpful for us to pressure the news media to cover UFO
sitings.

It is also very helpful for us to spread information about
them to others.

On more civilized planets, the news media's role is to provide helpful
and imortant information to the people.

On Earth the news media serves selfish and insanely greedy people. The
blind lead the blind. They are in it for money, and they uphold the
status quo.  They like having cheap labour/slaves.  In the USA for
example, they don't mention that the average worker in other developed
nations (even those with the worst jobs) get 6 or 7 weeks of paid
vacation time per year, and that everyone has health care.

As everyone will soon learn, all of the planets have Hierarchies. The
leader of the one on Earth is Maitreya and He'll soon present His
credentials to all of humanity.

mention that we spend more than all the other nations combined on
military and that the military often picks fights with others since
peace is their biggest threat.   Rather than point out major
differences that make other nations more democratic and comfortable,
the US news media supresses that information because they support the
status quo.  They don't want to see change. They like things just the
way they are.  As Malcolm X pointed out, they can make villains look
like good guys and vice versa.

=============================================
As everyone will soon learn, all of the planets have Hierarchies. The
leader of the one on Earth is Maitreya and He'll soon present His
credentials to all of humanity.
He'll inspire us to see ourselves as one huge family and to rebuild
the world based upon the principles of sharing, justice, brotherhood
and love. Everyone who's interested should remember that worshipping
Maitreya and any of the Masters of Wisdom is an impediment to
understanding. The future for mankind is incredibly bright.
