A Practice for not to be Disappointed

Now, if we should begin to see that my expectation is based on reality – that 25% of the circumstances that I will encounter today will be just about like I want them.  And 75% of 'em will have some resistance to the way I want it.  And I expect that and I will never be disappointed. 

... you've been in lots of disappointments in your life, haven't you?  But they’re all because you expected that 100% of these to come out – every little circumstance every day and it's only 25 some days. Now, it wouldn't be no fun if they all came out just like you want ‘em every day – it would be so boring you’d go wild, you know?  That's what they put people in prison for so that everything's just like they expect it to be all day long.  Did you ever think of that? That's why they put people in prison so that their expectations don't have any variations in 'em.

Somewheres a man said, "Know the truth and the truth will make you free."  The truth is that all day long every day, which is made up – our day is made up of many, many little circumstances through the day, is it not? And about 75% the kids are gonna spill milk on the floor, they're gonna get in a fight and they're gonna push this and they're gonna scream and they're gonna do all sorts of things and they're gonna do somethin’ altogether different than what you had any idea they were gonna do, huh?  Right?  And so 25% we're gonna have just about like we would like it and 75% is gonna have a little Second Force which is really to our advantage.

  

It's (Second Force) the greatest thing we could have because now we got somethin’ to keep us busy with and to practice a little ingenuity with, to work around, to apply a little time here and there – a little connivin’ if you please; but nevertheless, we get through with it all right, okay?  

Now, this will require practice – like flyin’ an airplane, playin’ music, operatin’ a restaurant, sewin’ a dress, makin’ something in a machine shop or whatever, it will require practice

Technical Definitions from The Place of Language in the Teachings

EXPECTATION

The feeling one has that something will happen. It is a necessity before any action can be initiated.

TRUE EXPECTATION

The feeling, based upon reality, that something will happen; leads to creative action.

FALSE EXPECTATION

The feeling one has, based upon illusions, that one will not be disturbed; leads to disappointment and being hurt

What is Truly Freedom?

 In a nutshell 

"Now the only (inner) state of being that is worthwhile is when you are free. 

"Freedom comes from being aware, simply, that I am a human being, therefore free to experience anything that may arise today and the only thing that can arise is my inner state."

...

"What you experience is not every little sensation you have. Those are only what you sense. What you really experience is your inner state of being.  Now the only state of being that is worthwhile is when you are free.  

The most joyful inner feeling is the feeling of freedom. I’m free to experience whatever may arise today.  Now that is truly freedom and that is the source of all serenity, peace, happiness, whatever word you want to have for your inner state. It is all based on freedom. 

Now, freedom doesn’t come from having something or from doing something. It comes from being aware, simply, that I am a human being, therefore free to experience anything that may arise today and the only thing that can arise is my inner state. 

Now, we’ve all sensed traffic today.  We’re sensed the temperature. We’ve sensed each other. We’ve sensed food we might have eaten. We’ve sensed sleeping. We’ve sensed taking a shower sometime during the day. 

You may have sensed all those things, but the only thing you have experienced is your inner state. If your inner state was in the pit, that’s what you experience. But if you’re free to be in the pit, you get out.

Now, there is no technique except being simply aware that I’m a human being.  Therefore I’m an experiencing being and I’m going to experience only one thing:  my inner state of being. You are free to experience whatever inner state of being you have. Let’s call it frustration.  You’re free to be frustrated for a few minutes. So what? Everyone here has been frustrated some time or another."

When I sleep, I FORGET to Live

When I sleep, I FORGET to Live

When I sleep

I simply FORGET:

what I am 

where I am 

what I am doing

I DREAM of 

Being a poor little victim

In a harsh, competitive world

Mistreated, hurt, violated 

Constantly justifying, condemning

everyone and everything under the sun

I live in an upside-down universe 

of my own creation and discretion 

Value worthless demons as pure gold

Base my life on their cunning,

but enticing lies 

in the form of promises and threats 

Totally lost in wilderness

following a mirage, 

to take me directly to the hell.
