Chip’s Brush on the Shoulder

A Year Ago, Today:

Sitting at the train station,
the woman behind me asks a friend

“How far is Christopher from here?”

Just as she said, “Christopher,”
her friend’s jacket brushed across my shoulder. …

my name is, “Christopher”!

Rust of Change

Once you see it, you need to keep it a secret that you know.

It is impossible to Un-know anything,
just as it is impossible to conceal that you know.

So write, in allegory, this game of word-association.

Like pigs and Larger Bretheren, always seeing the watch is on,

Thoughts From The Ghost:

Yes, God has made me poor in the pocketbook but wealthy in spirit.

Some Visible Ghost Nibbles

The culture we live in seems strange and weak.
People peer around and find everything to be strange while applying a weak predisposition; … scared, they are!
People seem angry in a curious way; and people seem curious in an angry way.

Men look at me angrily- a self-hating mechanism. They are angry at the unknown, jealous imagination of me.

Resenting the Master

Revere The Teacher With Compassion.

A Short Article For Flourishing Students:

If there comes a time when you resent your teacher, you have become your own teacher; and you must relinquish your expectations of such former teacher.

Resentment is the product of contempt and the ego; both of which are cataclysms. 

After contempt for a teaching ha been acknowledged, the ego presents itself. Regardless of the validity of the ego’s claim, the added contempt limits your judgement, creating learning barriers.

Seeking Council

The “Answer,” one seeks is more simple than the question asked.

Are You Troubled?

As we seek council to acquire clarity amongst our confusion, the only true clarity we find can be described as a love for one’s self.

Seeking the answer from an outside source seems ludicrous after the fact, because the answer is accepted from inside our own heart, beaming-outwardly, not from the outside of our body, beaming-inwardly!

The “Answer,” one seeks is more simple than the question asked.

He needs Christian brothers roughly the same age to walk with him through life.

“Culture is missing the Grand Power of Motivation towards the unknown-

Emotion: the Hinderance of the Soul

When an intellectual conversation dissolves into a self-loathing proclamation…

“The Answer,” they seek cannot materialize. Instead, the, “investigation,” becomes a self-exploration, describing the whole of humanity, fueled by pent-up emotion (which they want to share,) consequently being extinguished by the arrogant affect of being the observer attempting to objectively observe itself.
As a picture of a pencil cannot draw itself, the human attempting to reconcile with its own cognitive dissonance by way of cognition is the same as the ocean attempting to dry itself off by splashing around!

Nightly Scribbles

Burn relentlessly until your juice runs dry!

A Letter Written to a Lost Friend

Cold water hardens wax

A shadow is cast,
from a candle’s light,
flickering in a fleeting moment.

Without a Candle,
Marylin would have never seen
the wind blow.
Without darkness,
the moon would not wax.

and as remarkable as JFK’s birthday, song’s tease,

Time Defined

“Time” is defined by a general feeling.
While focusing on a certain experience,
Using definable paradigms,
This creates a, “general feeling.”
When it feels like, “day,” it is “daytime.”
During the quiet, darkness of night,
you focus on the crickets, the frogs
and the smell of the air.
It feels like, “nighttime”!
Time is not linear.

“Durations of time”
are simply general feelings
compiled to create an overall feeling,
known as an, “era”.
The end of an era is simply
the end of one overall feeling
and the beginning to one, other,
particular, general feeling.

Japhy’s Correspondence

I swim deeply in the shallow waters of the minds of people- people who pass me by and leave me be, run away from me and avoid my suggestive nature.
nature…


I’ve found my spot, stay tight on the rail, yet, I’m wide-open and getting out. One Percent is me, an anarchist waging their own law against the lawmakers and the police-assholes-of-the-state. An Anarchist, and, though I don’t care if this world has a place for me in that, I still search for brotherhood and a woman. Lone traveler, as I always have been, machete in hand, whip in the other, torn between the two worlds, I swim deeply in the shallow waters of the minds of people- people who pass me by and leave me be, run away from me and avoid my suggestive nature. I scare away even me, you see? And that is ok with me, but not ok with me.

Minor Peace

For the majority to overpower the un-peaceful minority would have to be an exercise of totalitarianism.

The loudest voice in the room is not usually the correct voice. The silence of the majority has its social benefit by virtue of compassion, however,

the silence and inaction of the majority is a fatal weapon against progress, survival and peace.

One person at a bar (a millennial,) talking loudly over others about how amazing or oppressed they are becomes annoying to the rest of the people at the bar.

It is unfortunate that society allows this!

The majority is silently annoyed, but nobody approaches the millennial to inform they that they are annoying everybody around them!
It seems, to maintain peace, the majority agrees to bear unpeaceful environments and succumb to actual abuse!

Of an entire nation aware that the government has overstepped its authority and function, no peaceful repose can be heard over the loudest, incorrect, most (not-at-peace) minority.

For the majority to overpower the un-peaceful minority would have to be an exercise of totalitarianism.

The Strife of the Smart Man

My Experience:

In a world where doing wrong is seen as being correct
and where being correct is treated as being revolutionary or argumentative,
those of us who have maintained our moral rectitude currently relate less and less to our fellow humans.
I have belabored, “The Dunning Kruger Affect,” to the extent of mocking my fellow man.

It confused and angered me. I did not know how to deal with people in my daily life in a cordial way anymore.
It felt like I was surrounded by idiots and that I was the only person who cared to make myself and the world around me better.

My good friend, Don Adams, explained it to me. Don said this to me:

“You are surrounded by grown men who have child’s minds.”

Don Adams

The Pareto Principle keeps bounding around inside my head. Realizing that there is no escaping this paradigm, this reality, I have sought coping mechanisms to attempt to maintain being courteous surrounded by a world of discourteous people. I have found no useful tools to dissuade my resentful knowing of these people.

Holding Both Science and Religion Accountable

Science and Religion

Chip Van Hassel

To allow “scientists,”

“…There is a secret In the simplest things,

“A world of spiritual objects, influences,

We all vaguely deem it to be so;

like that of genius and poetic inspiration,
who communes with the spiritual scene around him,
hears the voice of the spirit in every sound,
sees its signs in every passing form of things,
and feels its impulse
in all action,
passion,
and being.

Very near to us lies the mines of wisdom;
unsuspected they lie all around us.
There is a secret In the simplest things,
a wonder in the plainest,
a charm in the dullest.”

“Group mentality is the monarchy of the new era, and freedom is the new terrorist against consciousness expansion.”

The only danger we face in life is acceptance of any way other than the way of the individual. As a doormat cannot wipe its own feet on itself, the common man can only be common when he accepts the norm. Group mentality is the monarchy of the new era, and freedom is the new terrorist against positive consciousness expansion. The way to change reality is to Be the change within one’s own, individual mind.

Chip Van Hassel

We will never convince the people as a group; we can only convince the people by being an example for the group to follow. To follow the group is to be a lemming jumping off of the cliff.

To accept the common man's reality is an individual choice to sleep. To awaken is the greater energy, tapped-in to by free thought and purposeful action. 

Wealth can only be distributed when there is a definition of, “wealth”. Distribution only occurs when there are those who distribute. Subtract “wealth,” from the equation; and subtract distribution from common man’s mentality, and the true answer becomes screamingly apparent.

Modern man- the evolutionary betrayer.

Individuals who are free thinkers will be ridiculed by their current peers, only to be recognized for their genius long, long after their deaths.

Society is never ready for the truth. Positive thought is always ready for society.

Knights’ Love of Meditation

“Recognize with gladness that we are neither lost, nor strangers to God, but one of His good creatures, and in our Temple we shall meet people from many nations and religions. There is no shame in seeking God; forget not when we ponder that God’s Temple is our own being. God will not look for us, but we first must seek Him. Each day, time must be put aside for meditation and prayers for our Order and its work.”

Stick With A Big Walk.

The easiest name for, “Ego,” is, “I”. What war, or which weapon, shall a man wage against himself, albeit the teeth of the snake devouring its own tail?

To, “keep your friends close, but your enemies closer,” in order to know thine enemy, fails survival if thine self is thy enemy. To know your enemy, or to know your own ego, is a most prized attribute of war and is the most powerful utensil for serving peace. To know how to avoid developing an enemy avoids war, but to know what your Loved Ones love most equips you with the prize which outlasts war. Chip Van Hassel

“My common-core disgust had been skewed to a a new side. This disgust for people’s meanderings, never disheveled, (this core-disgust,) but always evolving, a metamorphosis from disgust to utter disgust permeated all emotional plateaus which created another level of judgement of my fellow man.

Not that it helped anything or made anything worse, however, became a conspiracy of sorts between the Mental State which I had worked so hard over the years to achieve and the positive Psyche which was the ablative of means by which I had arrived at that mental state (on it’s continuous level).”

Essence of the Fellow Craft Degree

“…because their Beehive Mind has absolutely corrupted the Craft…”

The essence of the FC Degree is the ablative of means through which Masters operate.

Women Are Not Boy Scouts.

Is was so much more serious than
George and Seinfeld’s
“One tuck and one No Tuck” scenario.

I have become the Midnight Ghost. A ghost is invisible. At midnight,… what happens?

Patti used to be a friend of mine.
I ended up cutting ties with her
in response to her posting pictures
of herself
wearing a Boy Scout uniform-
the Shirt not tucked in.

Is was so much more serious than
George and Seinfeld’s
“One tuck and one No Tuck” scenario.

It came down to the root of the tree,
the trunk of the matter
and leaves everybody disconnected from each other.

The “Throat/Root/Triangle” Exercise:

“It is an Art, indeed, for it requires imagination before any physical components by deed arise to fruition.”

The throat//root chakra exercise begins the long-awaited trip

Insanity of the Religion Of Government

“…those falsehoods being society’s conditioning of humans to be polite and to pay taxes and to follow certain laws and customs, how we view our interdependencies with our physical environment, along with our political and social assimilations.”

So the people who define “sanity” are the most introverted and insane of the bunch- insane because they think that their town is secure

Too Many Instructions

“Let Go of any reigns which are not currently in your hands!”

Expecting the Impossible

“A Trainer
can give
enough instructions
to paralyze the rider.”
The best way to find synchronicity is to Trust,
To Allow
and to
Let Go
of any reigns which are not currently in your hands.

Chip Van Hassel

Many trainers expect perfection every second, every step.
Elephants poop in the room whilst perfection is only witnessed briefly in moments displayed as result of training and effort towards the delayed gratification of raising to the next degree.

Chip Van Hassel

Too much is too much.

Perfection occurs
only
throughout humble circumstance.

Action In Stillness

Concentrate on quick-twitch muscle movements (for power, also to “slow it down”).

Dakkuan

That has become the life experience: watching everything- feeling speed, but slowing it down to slow/guide-by-way-of-control in order to preform focused stiles.

Sure In Life

If even God took the seventh day off for rest, why must a man toil seven days a week for another man who cares not for he, however labels time as money, and pretends that money, or a paycheck, is so gracious a gift, offered in charity, that the worker should forever be grateful to the employer and never question any selfish intention that could be interpreted of such a mutual agreement?

Civilizational De-Evolution

“…as if the Walmart greeter who checks your receipt is an authority figure…”

“We live in a nation of scared people who do not say what is on their mind. Weaklings believe the lies and live as if they are subordinate to some “higher authority,” as if the Walmart greeter who checks your receipt is an authority figure of some sort!

They are the opposite.”

Chip Van Hassel

Open Fist

“If your mind is like an open hand,

you will adapt quickly.

If your mind is closed like a fist,

you can only punch,

and you cannot climb the cliffs.

Train the mind as you train your fists:

condition them so they are not easily injured upon striking,

however, allow them to be open quickly

in order to grapple your opponent.”

Dakkuan

Thoughts

When the man doesn't want
to deal with humanity,
He goes down to the trenches,
pushes weights from his benches, 
And he clenches his fists.

When he hits a target, he hits it with a twist.
Trying to be as passive as the morning mist, 
Feeling as aggressive
As a yellow jacket
when it's pissed.

Which training method did Jonathan Sheppard employ?

When somebody complained how Jonathan Sheppard would never explain his training program to them, this was my response:

Well, some of us understood his training program which was essentially reverse-engineered in congruency with the horse’s running date, its condition, the competition it would be up against, along with the expectations of its upcoming performance while always keeping the race AFTER that performance in mind.
