Two Fairy Tales Reveal the Secret of LifeWritten by Tom Horn
Continued from page 1
Now Goldilocks is a loner. She has no teachers or mother to infect her with one-sided ideas of right and wrong and ‘imperfect knowledge’ of world. Goldie does not wear a ‘Red Hood’, but instead her golden curls are emphasized – a symbol of her independent spirit. Her view of life does not lead to over-the-top responses and so, for her, road does not turn ‘crooked’. She is on ‘straight way’ through life and therefore does not meet wolf and is not tempted into further one-sidedness. So, at any given moment, even though she is in ‘forest’ of living trends, Goldie is not available to any of them. When she is in cottage of three bears, she does have ‘imperfect knowledge’ of danger she is in, but is saved by her own acts of ‘power’. She tries all chairs and all bowls of porridge and all beds to find what is ‘just right’ for her. By exercising a sober choice or personal preference, she ‘taps world lightly’ and never goes beyond what is ‘just enough’. Therefore when bears return she has ‘power’ or ‘luck’ to escape. In contrast, Red Riding Hood was gripped by a second-hand desire to do good works and she indulged it to full. She was a driven person who committed no acts of ‘power’. Therefore, she was eaten. So you can see that life is not best served by learning right from wrong. Those things take care of themselves when life becomes a practical matter of uncommon knowledge and ‘power’. When it comes to crunch in life, you succeed or fail, live or die, depending on how much ‘power you have in bank’. How much do you have? How much ‘treasure in heaven’ have you accrued through your own acts of ‘power’? Or is your imperfect knowledge of world and one-sided responses making you available to living trends? Is a ‘wolf’ stalking you and, through cross infection of your world-view, is he pursuing any of your loved ones right now? This would be a wolf, not in ‘sheep’s clothing’, but in ‘granny’s clothes’. You’ll know he’s got to you when you find yourself thinking those self-righteous, judgematic thoughts about right and wrong that have been passed down generations like a virus and which always propel you beyond what is just enough. If this wolf in ‘granny’s clothes’ is on your trail, he will tempt all of you in turn and then steal your most valuable possession, which is your ‘power’ to generate nice surprises.

You see, for each of us there is no inner Self - at least not in our everyday space ime existence. At any given moment, our sense of identity is an illusion. We cannot know who we are for sure, so it is pointless trying to 'find ourselves'. This is because beneath mind viruses, which furnish us with an imperfect knowledge of world and of ourselves, there is only ever-changing mystery of pure awareness and intent. The latter are magical emergent qualities that, in course of a life, get paralyzed or channeled into one-sidedness by mind viruses. The great mystics think that it is not practical for us to go on educating ourselves, adding yet more ‘bricks to wall’ of our ordinary knowledge, better to solve our problems. They know that this only fortifies mind viruses and these in turn, generate solutions that, in long run, become new problems. In his or her blindness, average person calls spectacle of solutions becoming new problems 'the march of civilization' or simply 'progress'. But real seers spot joke and call it what it truly is - an ongoing madness whereby ideal conditions are maintained for replication of genes and mind viruses. Open your eyes and check these things out in your own life and world around. Would it not be better to adopt methods to unlearn what we know in order to loosen grip of our mind viruses and to reinstate our original purified awareness and intent? Instead of reacting to problematical circumstances and coming up with solutions that become new problems, we might then be better placed to create world of our choice. We cannot do without knowledge of some sort, but that which we need is uncommon. It isn’t solely logical or deterministic understanding or yet another mind virus. Rather it has to incorporate a description of reality that engenders faith in a Strategy For Getting Nice Surprises.
