"54 Minutes to Change the World" 


BEYOND-MEMORY:  The Missing Part of Human Consciousness


“Memory never captures the essence, the present intensity, 
 the concrete reality of an experience. It is, as it were, the 
 corpse of an experience, from which the life has vanished.” 

-- Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity


“Memory has a place at a certain level. In everyday life we could not function without it. But there is a state of mind where it has very little place. A mind which is not crippled by memory has real freedom.”

-- J. Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known


Unraveling the Mystery of Human Consciousness by opening to the World Outside of Memory can be the most serious of subjects. We can spend years studying spirituality and philosophy, meditation, prayer, manifestation, mindfulness, presence and Be Here Now, without finding a stable and reliable foundation for the Completeness of our Humanity and our Consciousness.   

As a confirmed lazy mugg, I believe if we approach the deeper questions of life lightheartedly, they will welcome us back in that same spirit. So my love of just sitting has led me to a remarkable insight that has almost never been discussed, to my knowledge. Perhaps it's been mentioned by one or two luminaries such as Alan Watts and J. Krishnamurti. Studies like Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Neoplatonism, Sufis, Christian Mystics and Carl Jung point in this direction, but don’t quite get there. 

And the insight is this: 

That our true self can easily, reliably and enduringly be found in the World Outside of Memory. Not just outside of talking, but fully outside of memory. 

This express path to our true self is available to every one of us without exception, and available immediately without any effort once we grasp this new approach to human awareness. 

And the new approach is simply this:  That we should remain just as we are, and add one little (but profound) ingredient:  

         The understanding that there is more to life than memory. 

“Finding Our True Self and Human Completeness, simply by understanding that there is a World Outside of Memory.”
