How Private are Your Thoughts?

Does anyone else know what I am thinking?
Does anyone care what I am thinking?
Are my thoughts really private?
My mother liked to tell me she knew everything I did. She may have, but she never knew all that I thought.
There were times in 1970 when my group of Truth Seekers programmed ourselves with the help of Timothy Leary’s book, The Psychedelic Book of the Dead and we had experiences of reading others minds.
Altered consciousness yes, but it worked.




How?
Part of Tim’s program was taken from The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and the phrase shinning black void, referred to the attention of the mind. It was a visualization on the shinning black void, at the moment of death that allowed the monks in the Bardo experience to begin reprogramming the being for rebirth. The being emptied the mind and the chants and mantra’s were installed or initiated before, during and after the death process.

Either my mind was so quick as to grasp the subtleties of an other, or the mind was so slow and open that the void was filled by the nearest being, or the desire to know the inner thoughts was primary enough to create the connection.
I have had non altered stated experiences of being in a group where the game was to get present, in your body, agenda free, and go stand where another person had stood and experience what is there. The residual musings of someone else. Amazing experience.
Tony Robbins talks about this in Unlimited Power.
Parlor game or useful tool?

The effort required to attain the shinning black void, is worthwhile to charge ones batteries, clear the air, open the tube, and listen for the message. But the illusion may be that any of us have private speaking. That all we think conjure, wish and desire is in the airwaves for all to receive.

Love from The Last Supplement from the Whole Earth Catalog

Great Grandpa Thomas Crapper


It ain't what happens its how I react.
Public Speaking versus Private Speaking
With that as a premise let me add mis-takes, as in errors and omissions and on the 'set' miscues.
My inner dialogue is Private Speaking.
Does it differ drastically, or just a lttle from my Public Speaking?
My Private Speaking is much harsher.
I think this is a corollary of my blog 'If I weren't me I'd envy me.'
I remember a thought from Ken Kesey in The 1971 Last Supplement to the Whole Earth Catalog, it was the Tools from my Chest issue, about how its 'All good shit, what's the use of censoring it.'
I got out my pulped paged edition, originally sold for $1, now being offered for $450, talk about inflation or value. Yes Value, and I value these words from Neal
...just keep on truckin...No need to edit. Nothing is nothing to lose so it's never kept back. Who needs a snaky little editor got his nails gnawed to the quick, checking the commode. It's all good shit whatso'meveraint't it? and if it ain't how else you gonna get it out to work on it?

Well ain't that something to think upon, a genuine Avatar from On the Road, wiring a message of no-sense in trapping that Private Speaking.
Well that don't work for me.
I can use an editor on occasions, and do. It ain't what happens its how I broadcast that upgrades my Public Speaking.
How much of my Private Speaking is someone else's, mom & dad, media, "I wanna be-wish-I was-that's what they all say' Private Speaking.

I am going to act, take a mis-take if needed. Hope for correction without invalidation and stay at source and keep my mouth shut if i haven't got something nice to say unless i be the purveyor of Tuff Love. I appreciate Tuff Love whenever it's deliver with love.

And as Mr. Natural on the cover of The Last Whole Earth Catalog says, "He who shits in the road will meet flies on his return,."

Its always been hip to pay attention.
