60 Anti-Teachings to Brighten up Your Day!

An Anti-teaching is an attempt to snap the yardstick of the mind with the yardstick of the mind. Strange koans for strange minds. Unconditioning for all those capable of turning shapes into words!

• THIS is only a neurological event—please remain calm.

• Life sucks? Well sure life sucks. It’s bound to suck when you slice it all up into mollycoddled shreds to privately indulge on the catwalk of your mind.

• You are a condensed reflection of all reality, of all the cosmos, of everything that has ever happened. If you’re going to act—act from this truth.

• Remove yourself from the seductive and comfortable sticks of mental furniture that you’ve been accumulating all your life. It is from that assumptive, lazy, belief-ridden squalor that you project all the miseries of the world into being as you fight for the authority of your mental possessions.

• Stop the mass cloning of personalities.

• The battle, from the street to the screen and beaming down from satellites is for the superior, ultimate interpretation of reality—This is Authority.

• Your mind cannot be unconditioned. My ‘IRREVERSIBLE’ will always be ‘IRREVERSIBLE’ to you. You can never see a meaningless arrangement of funny shapes again.

• You are the scenery making a scene for the sake of the scene and the scenery. There is no disconnection at all as both evolve together as one.

• As long as you continue to project criteria upon your relationships, as long as you don’t leave the pseudo-security of your cherished mental furniture, as long as you listen to your internal commentary rather than the constant teaching of reality itself, you will never experience the cosmos or your own existence for what they actually are.

• Never forget the role of boredom in the evolution of consciousness.

• The only real revolutions are psychological; based on insight and understanding.

• Life and Truth only really become interesting when one becomes curious, bored, or has suffered enough to investigate this kind of thing.

• Better to live in uncertainty and “I don’t know” rather than to believe any assumption, expectation, or dogma—regardless of how popular it may be.

• The real horror of human living is:
Mind is the authority
Reality is a battle and
Language is the weapon

• The universe and consciousness
Are children
Undergoing maturation

• Evolution is crawling out of one muck and into another.

• No. You can't spell culture without cult.

• The dissatisfied mind sounds like it always had everything better, elsewhere.

• When NOW is no longer a fetish you discuss or seek, you’ll be everything.

• One can see the learned code an individual mandates and enforces on them self in the ways in which they treat others.

• We are caught between nausea and vertigo balancing on a tightrope of choice.

• Your education will be utterly useless until you understand and have a relationship with what it is that has done all this learning; not the mechanisms or the anatomy behind it, but the billions and billions of years of time it took to allow this phenomena of you to exist.

• When the ancient lights of memory have a stranglehold on you as they dance upon your psyche, realize that you are glorifying and worshiping a shadow.

• The mind has become a film we watch while driving.

• Your existence is a tattoo that reads
“I am responsible for all my intents and actions”

• If you want something new try forgiving all of life for its perceived flaws.

• You can’t have love without attention.
And visa versa

• Shit yourself or shift yourself.

• There is no use in remaining in a state of constant angst and dejection just because you know you were born surrounded on all sides by all manner of obsolescence. Seeing it as arcane, juvenile, and fit for innovation, for creativity is in itself an invitation to be what you are: the latest thing, alive and kicking.

• How many human beings act as mere parodies thereof?

• Language and action are the anagram between us.

• Society today is best described as organized sadism followed by organized masochism.

• The Beauty never ends. It merely undergoes perpetual transformation.

• The mind and the tongue are distortions of reality that must be used responsibly.

• All communication is inherently experimental
All language is inherently hypnotism
And both create virtual realities
See the history of man for more details

• Mind is the tyranny.

• If you feel you are seeking the perfect lesson to begin living the correct life: Smash everything you’ve ever accumulated against this sentence.

• If you want science fiction
look in the mirror
and give yourself a wave

• The self-image is what comes about when the mind holds onto the greatest peaks and lowest canyons in the wavelength of a lifetime.

• “You” is a member of a very small cult.

• The story of “your self” is but a history of cosmetic applications upon the surface of your mind.

• When your implements don’t work
they become impediments.

• Careful now and don’t worry, you’re probably just playing a joke on yourself.

• You are never alone. You can only vainly attempt to make yourself psychologically unavailable.

• Most stress comes from the useless activity of micromanaging your mental furniture.

• If you are alive, there is a market for you.

• Everything is reality waving ‘hello.’ Life is merely noting the waves.

• On the road, life will throw rocks at you; how you respond to them, that will define what you are.

• Does your life feel like a knife-fight to the death on the surface of an enormous bomb?

• You are a most beautiful arrangement of intelligent dust.

• How can you have love when you are trying to meet others through ideas and images? How can you have relationship when you are trying to meet others on the stage of abstractions and concepts?

• Atheism is as guilty and useless as theism.

• “Everything seems to be an ever-present conversation reality is having with itself. Over time, we see that dialog begins to look like caterpillars transforming, cats leaping, and people shopping for the latest identity.”

• When someone asks, “who are you?” and the answer, “life itself” seems more authentic, realistic, honest, and genuine than any name, title, or status that you have accidentally or rigorously inherited, then you will be closer to what is really going on. This is not mystical. Everything label-based is mystical.

• You can’t fuck up. You can only act like an asshole and repeat.

• Language is entirely virtual and has no extraordinary meaning whatsoever. It will always be a signpost, never the destination. This is its very purpose as a tool. So attaching one’s emotional and psychological well being on any communication or any arrangement of abstractions whatsoever is irrational. If language is virtual, flawed, and open to negation, investing “one’s self” emotionally in its patterns leave the “mind” locked somewhere between a shell game, a tightrope, and starvation.

• Step one is realizing there is a step one.

• If you ever really looked at that which is giving this sentence meaning — a bomb would go off in your life.

• Touch the voice that read these words.
