Correct Alignment
Let me try
To point at the “Seeing”
I speak of.
Here's an example:
Let’s say you want to 'fight crime’
An idea perceived as noble
And applauded by most.
You devise ways
To interrupt ‘crime’ in the making
To stop ‘crime’
To imprison those creating ‘crime’
To pass laws to punish and deter
Those committing ‘crime’
And so on.
And you think that
You are fighting crime.
You’re certainly putting
A lot of effort
Money
And manpower behind it.
But it will never stop crime.
Your idea failed before it began
Because you did not 'see'
Where crime was coming from.
This type of effort
Is like chopping off a weed
At ground level.
You leave the root beneath
To grow again
This type of ‘crime fighting’
Will never get at the root.
To cure crime
You must learn to see
What crime really is.
You must correctly know it
Without question.
You must know where it’s true root is
And what it is the fruit of
And in what type of soil
And weather conditions
It thrives.
Then you can see how to stop crime.
(FYI: Force
is NEVER the answer
For any true fix.)
How do we see?
How can seeing
Become doing?
It is as easy as this:
You must truly LOOK
Nobody really looks
But instead they try and build answers
From dead, past experiences.
Here’s an example:
Supposed no one had actually
Seen the moon.
No one thought they needed to
Because they thought they already knew
What the moon looked like.
But what if everyone
Thought it was square?
If you take a moment
To look for yourself
You would immediately see
The moon is round.
There is no struggle.
You don’t have to do any work.
You must only SEE.
The change is instantaneous
and without effort.
You must only see.
But, you protest,
'Crime' is an action
While the shape of the moon
is only a thought.
They're not the same.
Really?
Does not every crime
begin with a thought?
Change the thought
And stop the crime.
Change how someone sees
And you change what someone does.
It is indeed
the very same.
Go and see.
The correction
Is effortless
And immediate.
Change the thought
and you change the action.
It is indeed instantaneous
and requires no force at all.
Seeing
IS doing.
Be one of the few who do not ‘think’.
Be one of the few who actually SEE.
Then you will accomplish everything
Without effort.
