Pain

Young people of America, awake from your slumber of indolence and harken to the call of the future! Do you realize that you are rapidly becoming a doomed generation? Do you realize that the fate of the world and of generations to come rests on you shoulders? ... Oh ignorant youth, the world is not a joyous place. The time has come for you to dispense with the frivolous pleasures of childhood and get down to honest toil until you are 65. then and only then can you relax and collect social security until the time of your death

Pain is a wonderful sensation for the study of feeling and its relation to the habitual image matrices of our minds. This dutiful teacher will not cease in its efforts to awaken the felt presence of now and the immediate necessity of acute perception and action. The impact of the sudden radical rearrangement of our physical pattern cascades down nervous pathways, precessionally transverse re-balancing waves echo, until the ripple reaches our complex neural network. In some people it makes them say simple things with big words and overly complex sentences. Others yelp, some are silent.

The body, like any system in electrical balance, will reorder itself until a new equilibrium is reached. This process happens relatively quickly for a healthy person and oftentimes, if the rearrangement be not too dissonant to the system, and necessary steps are taken to deflect or remove the alien pattern, stability returns swiftly.

I have observed that in order to deflect or remove the pattern, or to move oneself away from the pattern, requires a certain ordering of the attitude of one's intentional images. This particular ordering antibody remains within the neural feedback loop in case of the alien's reappearance.

Obviously it takes a careful mending to avoid a scar.

So now this alien pattern, this resultant of an injury, physical or otherwise, has affected the overall system, has created its opposite inside the system. First its opposite, to repel, and then a less amplified return of the alien, to repulse the opposite, back and forth, back and forth until the excess energy finally is dissipated. The patterns will be ordered in every medium so attention to the entire field of being is necessary to track its reverberations.

Finally the question comes, why would anyone want to follow this strange pattern? Why not simply ignore the waves and get some sleep? Perhaps some people have seen enough of the normal to be bored to death, or should I say pain.

It is possible that opposite of shock could be achieved, via shock. If you think that this essay has taken a turn for the worse, be at ease. Breathe slowly and deeply, and relax. One must not tense the entire body for a small localized intrusion. As you may be aware, solids convey sound waves much more efficiently than atmosphere. Tensing your body will only spread the pain over your whole body.

It is your mind which can control this tension, override the habitual revulsion to change. Perhaps after observation and attention to this phenomenon and its interaction with your entire Unified Field you will notice the foundation of the solidity, the antenna of pain. This powerful signal could yield the keys to tuning to a different antenna, perhaps even Joy or ,Beauty.

I am not endorsing the pursuit of pain for this purpose, but there seems to be plenty of opportunities for study nonetheless. It would be wise to make use of all opportunities.
