Often breakthroughs come
as the outcome of breaking
down the brain's mindless
maneuvering for its own
preservation. The relaxed
bearing of the watcher, by its
very observation, achieves
this very end.
The high anxiety wedded to
paranoia of the sane sort that
arises as the seedbed of all
other little episodes of mind
racing, can be let to run its course,
dissipated like the incense of
perfume, the perfume of
incense.
If paranoia runs wild as
the background radiation
of high anxiety: free-floating
energy out of bounds, no
control by the onlooker,
then watching: observing
patterns of energy reservedly,
effortlessly, with no need for
preserved boundaries and no
desire to dismount them,
can arise as the alternative
to acting out, over-identifying,
that tells the story of distressed
people of all the earth during
the current age of anxiety.
You can call this glad
dissimilitude
freedom
from
choice
as it readies you
to take life seriously
still not personally.
