 
THIS IS HOW I SEE
The Method
BEING TAUGHT IN THE SUTTAS
Adopt as your Working Hypothesis these
1. This is the truth about shit: This is all shit
2. This is the truth about the origin of shit: This shit originates from your hunger and thirst
3. This is the truth about how to end the shit: To end the shit, end the hunger and thirst
4. This is the truth about the walk to walk to end the shit: The walk to walk to end the shit is this Aristocratic Multidimensional High Way, that is: High Working Hypothesis; High Principles; High Talk; High Works; High Lifestyle; High Reign; High Mind; High Getting High; High Vision and High Objective Detachment.
1. Abandoning, Dumpping, Leting Go, Putting Down, Putting Away, Dropping, Giving Up, Departing from, Leaving behind, Renouncing
2. Non-Cruelty
3. Non-Harm
No intentional untrue, cruel, harsh, slanderous or useless talk
No intentional working harm, taking what has not been given, or straying from the path for pleasure's sake in your magic charms, works (deeds), or occupation.
Make a lifestyle out of identifying those elements of your personality that are contra-indicated, low, unskillful, un-Aristocratic, profitless, and dumping them
Exercise Self-control. Make effort, exert energy to
1. Restrain low unskillful conditions that have arisen in the here and now
2. Refrain from low unskillful conditions that have not yet arisen
3. Obtain high, skillful conditions that have not yet arisen
4. Retain high, skillful conditions that have arisen
Live, while you live in a body, in sensation, in the heart, and in the word,
Understanding body, sensation, the heart and the word,
Seeing them as they really are
Seeing how they arise
Seeing how they end
Watchful and Dilligent
APPAMADA (not-careless)
Satisfied
Reviewing and Calming Down
Overcoming any hungar/thirst that may appear
Releasing it all
Above it all
Downbound to nothing at all in the world
Achieve a state with No Objectives,
No Indications of Lust, Anger, or Blindness, and
Empty of Lust, Anger, and Blindness, whether
Walking, Standing Sill, Sitting Down, or Lying down.
Do this by the practice of cultivating one state of mind by abandoning another, this way:
Sit down.
Sit up straight
Take in 1, 2, 3 Deep, Deep, Deep inhalations of fresh air, and
putting the mind at the area of the face, and
putting aside any wanting to attain pleasure, any anger, any inclination towards lazyness, any fear and trembling, any doubt and vacillation, and
using any method or device that works for you, still, calm, and tranquillize the body and concentrate the mind, and
having attained concentration in mind, having attained tranquillity of body, let go of any method or device you have used to still, calm, and tranquillize the body and concentrate the mind, and
from this point, practice "not-doing" and let it all go:
do not strive after any level of attainment in meditative skill
let go of any tension in the body that you notice arising and reside in the appreciation of the peace and calm of solitude
let go of any "train of thought", rethinking and reacting, that may arise, and reside in the enjoyment of enthusiasm for getting high
let go of any inclination to enjoyment or enthusiasm and reside in ease
let go of any predisposition to return to bodily pains and pleasures or mental ease or discomfort and reside in objective detachment.
9. High Vision
Downbound Confounded Rebounding Conjuration
Downbound because "down" it is what is tying one down, "up" it is headed downward.
Confounded because it is the co-founding by that which is identified as the self and "the world" of a personal world — made through identification with intentional acts of body, speech or mind where the intention is to produce experience in the self and which result in sensations identified as belonging to the self.
Rebounding because it doubles back on the track of the force which creates it
Conjuration meaning the same thing as Confounding (joining together to bring into existence) but is here a word for the act where the former was a word for the fact.
See, do not "understand in theory" or "think through", but actually "envision" — "see in the mind" how:
Downbound blindness rebounds bound up in confounding
That is: Blindness to these Four Aristocrats of Truths — this Aristocratic Multi-Dimensional High Way — Or, in other words, blindness to the fact that Whatsoever has Come to Be is a Thing Destined to Come to an End — results in creation of existence in a personal world.
§
Downbound confounding rebounds bound up in double-knowing-knowing
Knowing the knowable as an individual; self-consciousness, individualized consciousness.
Downbound double-knowing-knowing rebounds bound up in Named Form
"Phenomena" FaceName. The inter-operation of the individualized mind (called "name" because it distinguishes and identifies itself and other by an internal set of names) and matter (called "form" or "shape" or "appearance" or "entity" because it is whatever can be said to have become a "thing" in the world, including mental states, concepts, sounds, etc.)
Downbound Named Form rebounds bound up in double-knowing knowing
Individualized — confounded — consciousness is the factor on which the nameform phenomena depends, and nameform is the factor on which individualized consciousness depends. It is only in-so-far-as these three: consciousness, name and form interact that there is that which is understood to be existence as a being in a state of being.
Downbound double-knowing-knowing rebounds bound up in the realm of the senses
Downbound bound up in the realm of the senses rebounds bound up in contact
In the "realm" or "sphere" or "state" characterized by experience through contact through the six senses of the objects of those senses; being conscious of seeing sights, etc)
Downbound contact rebounds bound up in sensation
The experience of pleasure, pain, or neither pleasure nor pain in connection with a sense stimulus)
Downbound sensation rebounds bound up in wanting
To get, to get away.
Downbound wanting rebounds bound up bound up
Getting involved in getting.
Downbound getting bound up rebounds bound up in living
Getting involved in living in some state of being an "it" in some place of being "at"
Downbound living rebounds bound up being born
As some kind of an "it" in some place of being "at".
Downbound being born rebounds bound up in
Aging, Sickness and Death
Grief and Lamentation
Pain and Misery
and Despair.

See how:
Cut Down blindness to the Four Aristocrats of Truths — this Aristocratic Multi-Dimensional High Way — cuts down rebounding bound up in confounding
Cut Down confounding cuts down rebounding bound up in double-knowing-knowing
Cut Down double-knowing-knowing cuts down rebounding bound up in Named Form
Cut Down Named Form cuts down rebounding bound up in double-knowing knowing
Cut Down double-knowing-knowing cuts down rebounding bound up in the realm of the senses
Cut Down being bound up in the senses cuts down contact
Cutting Down contact cuts down rebounding bound up in sensation
Cut Down sensation cuts down rebounding bound up in hunger and thirst
Cut Down hunger and thirst cuts down rebounding bound up bound up
Cut Down getting bound up cuts down rebounding bound up in living
Cut Down living cuts down rebounding bound up being born
Cut Down being born cuts down rebounding bound up in
Aging, Sickness and Death
Grief and Lamentation
Pain and Misery
and Despair.
10. High Objective Detachment
So seeing (High Vision), act accordingly. Seeing the arising of individualized consciousness and sense experience; seeing the ending of individualized consciousness and sense experience; understanding that this seeing and all those mental states that came before are confounded, made up of parts, subject to breaking a-part, ending, resolve (and do not just resolve, but actually do it) to let go of confounding mental states and by that attain the uttermost objective detachment possible, and at that point, seeing that this is being free,
In freedom recognize freedom, and
Recognize that birth has been left behind, and
Recognize that duty's doing has been done, and
Recognize that there is no more this side or that, and
Recognize that there is no more being any kind of an "it" at any place of "atness" left for you.
