Instruction Pieces No. 7

INSTRUCTION PIECES No. 7

1.
The multitude of images continuously projected of God, must turn us all
into television receivers perpetually on the blink,
like so many bullets in a discarded brain.

2.
Are we really all eyes in the same head,
like so many stars perceived as belonging to one firmament?

3.
Or are we, each of us, on loan
from one plane of existence to another reality?

Instruction Pieces No. 6

INSTRUCTION PIECES No. 6

1.
Peddling a broken heart is an indescribable waste
of life energy and time.
Learn to become a mountain;
a mountain always seems to be at peace,
even in the most tormenting environment.

2.
Try to nourish, without striving, like water does.

3.
Securities are imaginings – to hold onto
wishes for a secured life
is living within a dream of life,
and not a real life.

4.
Expect thunder from a quiet sky.

Instruction Pieces No. 4

INSTRUCTION PIECES No. 4

1.
Remember your purpose.

2.
You do not need anyone else, to lose your way, don’t forget
it is your own hate that will always suffice to lead you astray.

3.
Staying in places others disdain is being close
to the real way of life.

4.
Disdain causes withdrawal, leading you away from reality.

5.
Reality loss is the birth of obsession.

INSTRUCTION PIECES No. 3

1.
Repetition is - allegedly - the mother of wisdom.

2.
Are you busy being born? No?
Then you are busy dying.
To be born again and again,
Step forward from where you stand.

3.
Sometimes only ruthlessness reaches truth,
You insufferable dreamers.

4.
Always go too far - truth is always beyond:
Beyond words, beyond gestures.

5.
Never be afraid to go too far, in order
To transgress human nature and its myriad duplicities.

6.
The damaged receive.

7.
(Well, all candour can eventually make us sorry.)

Instruction Pieces No. 2

INSTRUCTION PIECES No. 2

1.
Survive without smothering your feelings, or those of others.

2.
Whenever you force a set of values down a person’s throat, you are taking part in the extinguishing of a whole culture,
whether you realise it or not.

3.
Piss on the flames of fear: though fear is a good advisor, it should never become your constant instructor.
Survival is all about managing fear.

4.
Allow plurality to flourish, but, remember to weed,
before the unintelligibility of over-proliferation gets the better of you.

5.
Don’t lose yourself within diversification: remember, in time, to organise sufficiently.
There is always time to structuralise.

6.
Where conditioning exists, there is no freedom. In other words, no one is free.
In your dealings with your fellow men, kindly take this into account.

7.
Preconceptions will dull your perception.

8.
Be in love with your life all the time.

Instruction Pieces No. 1

INSTRUCTION PIECES No. 1

1.
Fear forces you to concentrate.
I have but this to say in favour of it,
for fear breeds too much haste as well.

2.
Speaking in riddles allows you to say truths
without upsetting those as yet unprepared for them,
and to simultaneously direct truth
towards those who seek direction.

3.
One is constantly doing things one has no explanation for.
The more consciously one begins to live and
perceive this, the better one can begin to notice
the borders of one’s own perception.

4.
Waiting does not move a barrier – you must push
through nervousness, and even risk meeting
what you actually didn’t want
to discover…

5.
Life is not one direction, not one way – to think
this is the case, is like putting
a dying man on a diet.
