Mad Stress & Mad Emotions:

Mad Stress & Mad Emotions:
Mad Stress:
Mad stress is another form of madness in its own right that afflicts all actors to varying extent because stress is what all actors are (unnecessarily forcefully) subjecting or conditioning their minds to experience and as with anything that is forceful that one keeps subjecting one’s mind to, it becomes easier and easier to recall, faster and faster to rise to greater and greater intensity that lingers longer and longer until it can become mad seemingly to rise rapidly to intense levels to become hard to shake off with little or (apparently) no provocation.
Stress can arise in two ways in actors. There is the ‘sane’ progressive stress that arises proportionately to the duration and strength of force being applied on the mind and there is mad or violent stress that is a conditioned virtual, pre-malignant form of stress that rises rapidly to intense levels independent of the strength or duration of the insult.
When you constantly apply force on your mind to act, to say, do, think and perceive things with added unnecessary force, you create stress that gradually rises in intensity. But this stress that you frequently generate in yourself is never forgotten but conditions your mind to be more able to recall, experience and retain stress. Because the intensity of stress is proportional to the intensity of force you subject your mind to, every time you subject your mind to more intense mental force that you can generate, you are conditioning it to experience stress that is more intense, every time you subject your mind to force that is rapidly accelerating in speed and intensity you are conditioning your mind to similarly experience stress that is also rapidly accelerating to intense levels. Thus conditioned, your mind is vulnerable to have stress that can be madly triggered rapidly to intense levels out of proportion to that insult.
If actors observe themselves, they will find this is the case, stress can arise helplessly in them rapidly to intense levels by something innocuous like the approach of a policeman or an authority figure.
Mad Emotions:
Mad emotions are actually forms of mad violence or force because emotions are nothing more than mental force dressed up in different clothes. Emotions are the different styles of force and because all actors cherish style, they cherish all their different emotions as if they are different and real entities. Mad sadness or depression is a form of mad emotions.
Whatever that is forceful that you keep subjecting your mind to can in time arise easily, rapidly to great strength, great realism and linger to be hard to shake off until a time comes when it can become mad, to arise with little trigger seemingly out of context and cling to you. Emotions are forceful and if you keep subjecting yourself to an emotion, it in time in becomes very slick, very potent, harder and harder to control until it becomes mad.
If you keep subjecting yourself to anger, for instance you even fake anger that you did not feel when confronting another motorist after an accident to intimidate him, in time you come, you do not have to force yourself to fake anger but anger becomes very easily aroused and very realistic, you cannot tell whether you are really angry or faking it. What the fool does not realize is that he is trapped, unless he strives to efface his anger every time it arises, he is doomed to finally lose control over his anger in an acute situation or in old age degeneration.
Similarly if you keep practicing hate, it will become increasingly intense, easy to arose and spread to more and more targets of your hate until you are mad, consumed by your hate that you can no longer control.
If you keep lusting after women, in time you become a sex maniac with an insatiable appetite for sex, indiscriminately lusting after any woman young or old that you see and it is torment not unadulterated pleasure.
The same with greed, every moment you experience greed you are conditioning yourself to greed. The reason why people’s greed are so compelling, they cannot stop being greedy is because they have practiced greed all their lives, they have invested strong mental force in their greed until it is now so compelling and real.
All the emotions namely anger, hate, ‘love’ or desire or lust, greed, jealousy, pride, shame, fear, sadness, excitement can become mad depending on how the person is attached to them or keep practicing them.
Eight Kinds Of Madness:
Thus there are eight kinds of madness that must afflict all actors episodically at the moment but will become totally mad in the future. Few actors can imagine that they will become mad but they have nobody to blame should they finally succumb and it is torment:
1) Mad perception (hallucinations, pretend to see when they did not, pretend not to see when they did).
2) Mad rote behavior and speech (involuntary identical prerecorded utterances and motion).
3) Mad violence.
4) Mad restlessness.
5) Mad stress.
6) Mad distraction (daze, stupor).
7) Mad emotions (depression is part of mad emotions) and
8) Mad logic.
Mad Confusion: Mad confusion may be a mixture of distraction, restlessness, forcefulness and mad logic. Confusion is always a forceful state of the mind that can be characterized by anxious disorientation, the person may not know time of day, date, where he is, what is right, true or beneficial and what is wrong, false or harmful. He is unable to think. Confusion as the Buddha said is not blameless but only a blameworthy person has a mind that can be confused and he is headed for perdition not heaven.
Mad Laughter:
Mad laughter is actually mad rote or jukebox behavior or speech plus or minus mad emotions.
All laughter is actually learnt never true because laughter creates stress and restlessness; people learn to force themselves to laugh in certain situations until it is so slick they cannot stop themselves laughing when those situations arise. And if you listen to mad people laughing, apart from it being totally inappropriate, it is similar in style and substance, similar in its constant changes in speed and loudness to the way they used to laugh in their fabricated ways when they were still relatively sane actors. This is suggestion that madness is acting (in this case acted laughing) gone totally out of control or inappropriate. It has never been demonstrated that a person who never laughed in his life could suddenly laugh madly when they go mad but all mad laughter had precedent acted laughter.
WHY ACTING IS THE CAUSE OF MADNESS:
(Madness is the paramount if not sole cause of madness. For one who sees things as they are, acting leads inexorably to madness and there are compelling reasons why this is so.)
The common principle underlying the genesis of all forms of madness is that whatever is false and forceful that one subjects one’s mind to conditions that mind such that it becomes easier and easier to recall, rises more and more rapidly to greater and greater intensity and clings to that mind longer and longer until a time comes when it becomes totally mad, independent of control seemingly to arise with little or no provocation to reach intense levels and hard to shake off. Acting in all its guises and facets are forceful and conditions that mind and whatever forms of madness there may be are all forceful and have antecedents in the actor’s mind or can be traced to forceful acting.
(This is the underlying principle in sports training or forceful ritualized movements that has style and substance. If tennis is true you will born with the ability to play tennis. Tennis something fabricated and largely if not completely mindless that people learn to play and then get addicted because it is deemed classy or they want to impress others. Sportsmen keep practicing until their shots become automatic, powerful such that in time in unguarded moments they find themselves executing shots inappropriately.)
WHATEVER THAT IS FORCEFUL & HARMFUL TO SELF THAT ONE FORCIBLY SUBJECTS ONESELF TO (ACTING OR FABRICATING) IS SUBJECT TO CONTROL OR MUST BE FORCEFULLY REGULATED & WHATEVER IS SUBJECT TO CONSTANT SELF CONTROL IS SUBJECT TO LOSS OF CONTROL BECAUSE HOWEVER STRONG THE SELF CONTROL IT CAN AND WILL BE BREACHED.
(Those who think they do not act, do not fabricate have wrong view or false perception, itself a form of acting; they only have to examine themselves and others honestly for stretched syllables, for changes in speed and loudness when speaking. For one who sees things as they are, stretching syllables, changing speed and loudness whilst speaking are totally unnecessary, waste prodigious energy creating stress, it is the style that distracts the person’s attention away from the substance of what he wants to say and the constant changes in speed and loudness is de facto controlled restlessness.)
TAKE AWAY FORCEFUL REGULATION (BY THE FORCE & LOGIC OF SELF PRESERVATION) & PURPOSE (TO DECEIVE, PLEASE, IMPRESS, INTIMIDATE & DOMINATE) FROM ACTING THAT IS ALWAYS EXPRESSED THROUGH SPEECH, MOTION, THOUGHT AND PERCEPTION AND IT BECOMES UNREGULATED PURPOSELESS SPEECH, MOTION, THOUGHT AND PERCEPTION OR MADNESS. ALL THE FORMS OF MADNESS THAT ARE POSSIBLE, NAMELY MAD LOGIC, MAD ROTE SPEECH OR BEHAVIOR, MAD VIOLENCE, MAD RESTLESSNESS, MAD DISTRACTION, MAD STRESS, MAD PERCEPTION (HALLUCINATIONS) AND MAD SADNESS SHARE THE SAME SUBSTRATES AS ACTING, NAMELY SPEECH, ACTION, THOUGHT AND PERCEPTION INDICATING THAT ACTING AND MADNESS HAVE COMMON GROUND.
ACTING IS DE FACTO CONTROLLED DELIBERATE MADNESS IN SPEECH, MOTION, THOUGHT AND PERCEPTION THAT IS INTENDED TO DECEIVE, IMPRESS, PLEASE, DOMINATE AND INTIMIDATE OTHERS. THEREFORE TAKE AWAY THE CONTROL AND INTENTION AND YOU HAVE UNCONTROLLED MAD OR UNINTENDED ACTING IN SPEECH, MOTION, THOUGHT AND PERCEPTION OR TOTAL MADNESS.
Mad or purposeless forceful restlessness is a specific form of madness that occurs in a more benign form in actors indicating that mad restlessness has its etiology in acting. Stress that cannot be resolved leads to restlessness and because actors are constantly applying force on their minds by speaking, moving, thinking and perceiving with added unnecessary force, they are constantly stressing themselves that lead to restlessness that they only forcibly control and conceal from others, a process that itself generates further stress and restlessness. Restlessness is further something that actors foolishly constantly practice in a controlled or limited fashion because it is deemed stylish to speak and move with constant changes in speed and force. Initially you have to force yourself to constantly change speed and loudness whilst you speak but progressively you are forced by irresistible habit to speak with constant changes in speed and loudness, you are struggling to stop yourself from going totally restless.
No matter how genuine a person may think his standardized ‘hello’ to greet others is, if it is in truth forced, if there is extra unnecessary forcefulness and constant unnecessary forceful stretched syllables and changes in loudness and speed as uttered, he is going against yourself in a controlled way to please or impress others and he is headed for madness because it is rendered by rote forced by himself from a mental jukebox that can and will turn mad to be rendered irrationally.
If you are constantly dividing your attention by practicing speech, motion, thought and perception that has a combo of simultaneous substance and style that forces you to alternate your attention, you additionally practice doing many things at once, is it any surprise that you regularly find it hard to gather your concentration, you lapse into dazes that you must forcibly pull yourself out off and in a crisis or old age you succumb to deep dazes that you may never exit?
All the forms of madness that are known to exist namely mad logic, mad violence, mad rote behavior, mad stress, mad restlessness, mad distraction, mad sadness and mad perception (hallucinations) have precedents in acting, can be traced back to antecedents in acting or can be explained by specific parts of acting that have gone mad, indicating acting is the common progenitor or denominator of madness. Therefore it should be quite clear that acting is crucial if not the only father of all the various forms of madness that is possible.
Acted perception: People seriously underestimate the extent that their perceptions are also faked or fabricated just like they fake their speech, motions & thought. When you pretend not to see or hear something when you did, the ‘not seeing or hearing’ is the false substance of your false or acted or controlled intended mad PERCEPTION (it is mad to pretend you did not see when you did) whilst the way with eyes fluttering or turned away, not with sane constant speed and force but in a darting way with unnecessary insane rapid acceleration of speed and force that may be associated with an expression of disdain is the always false STYLE of your false perception. When you say “I see what you mean” when you didn’t and proceed to express as if you did see (eg smile and nod), you are perceiving falsely or pretending to see when you did not. When you lie and you pretend not to see you are lying, in time you truly cannot see you are lying or you have the false perception that your lying is truth)
Why Acting Leads To Hallucination:
The Buddha: "Then, Bahiya, you should train yourself thus: In reference to the seen, there will be only the seen. In reference to the heard, there will be only the heard. In reference to the sensed, there will be only the sensed. In reference to the cognized, there will be only the cognized. That is how you should train yourself. Then, Bahiya, you will not be 'thereby.' When you are not thereby, you will not be 'therein.' When you are not therein, you will be neither 'here' nor 'there' nor between the two. This, just this, is the end of stress."
If you never fabricated or used force in your perceptions, you only passively see, hear, smell, taste and touch as the Buddha said above, how can you hallucinate? Hallucinations are seeing and hearing things that are not there but your mind tells you they are or mad seeing or hearing. What actors are doing all the time is controlled false seeing and hearing, they see or hear with force, they force themselves to see or hear (eg keep trying to recollect the face of a person they are madly in love with, keep trying to remember a favorite tune). As is the nature of things that are forced, initially you forced yourself to see and hear certain things but increasingly you are forced against your will or wish to start seeing or hearing things. Isn’t it a logical extension that such frequent even controlled false seeing and hearing, driven by greed/lust should one day become totally uncontrolled tormenting false seeing and hearing, also known as hallucinations?
It is because actors perceive with force, they see, hear, smell (sniff), touch and taste (smack) with force that can rise to intense levels that their perceptions can be strongly imprinted in their minds that under certain circumstances can become bizarre and dissociated to become very real hallucinations.
(Phantom bodily pain or phantom limbs are hallucinations or mad perceptions, not mad stress)
A Sign Of Rote Speech:
The English language has many words that are similar eg ‘type of’, ‘form of’ and ‘category of’ that can be used interchangeably. In rote speech the person always not just uses the same favorite word to the exclusion of alternatives but he uses the same word with the same style, same stretching of syllables with same changes in speed and loudness.
Why Jukebox Speech Is Dishonest:
Just as a tape recorder can never mean whatever replies it is taped to make, any transaction that is rendered through a mental jukebox can never be truly meant or sincere but it is a rehashed impersonal standard line. When people choke with emotion when they say something eg “I love you” or “Goodbye” the foolish person is moved to think how heartfelt it is but the choking and trembling is a sign of forceful mental conflict that never arise out of truth but falsity.
How many when confronted, will admit they told a lie? Instead they are likely to deny, give an excuse, take offense or even counter accuse you for being too sensitive.
What they do not realize is that in doing so, they are forcefully insisting to themselves that what is true (they told a lie or cheated) is false and it is in the nature of things that with repeated practice such forceful insistences of what is false is true becomes compelling and the actor is in time forced to believe his lies are not lies. He is well on the way to total mad logic when his sense of self preservation and reality testing finally deserts him.
Quote: Bush warns on war on humanity.
Comment: Bush is under considerable pressure, his Iraq adventure is turning out to be a nightmare and support for him is falling. If his intention is to galvanize support for himself by telling humanity or everyone that terrorists will attack them, then deep inside he knows his true motive is not war on humanity but to cajole those foolish enough to believe him to continue supporting him and the US. That is not saying what you mean and meaning what you say that is not harmless because in time he will start to believe his own lie that terrorists are waging war on humanity when his message is support me. He does not realize he has an appointment with madness, mad logic.



Why All Actors Must Be Presumptuous:
Just as all emotions are powered by the force of going against self presumption is not a stand alone condition but its existence is dependent on jukebox acting. It is impossible for someone who continues to act from the jukebox to cease being presumptuous and presumption comes to an end with the cessation of jukebox acting.
Presumption according to the Buddha is a defilement of the mind that prevents wisdom from arising. Presumption is never an individual case by case but it is always a flat across the board emotional unconscious blind attitude. All presumptuous people are unaware they are being presumptuous.
Because actors are constantly acting from a mental jukebox, they are never fully attentive in dealing with the external world, they always size up a situation, they demand themselves to quickly size up a situation to swiftly, hastily select an option to activate a response; that is presumption, not treating each situation in a case by case basis on merit.
It is impossible for actors acting from a jukebox not to be presumptuous because acting from a jukebox necessitates that they be presumptuous, they must presume that situations with certain characteristics must mean certain things that demand certain responses from them. Only a person who is fully attentive, who is aware of the current situation to compose a mindful response to it is not presumptive.
An Excuse Or Lie:
The Palestinian official who quoted Bush’s remarks was said to have said he did not take Bush’s remarks that God told him what to do literally.
(Bush as quoted): "God would tell me, George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan. And I did, and then God would tell me, George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq... And I did.
"And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East. And by God I'm gonna do it."
If Bush did say what was quoted above it can never be construed as not literal; either he meant what he said or it was a bizarre joke or lie. The Palestinian official is not mad (yet) for saying he took it as not literal but he was proffering an excuse or unconscious lie to put Bush in better light perhaps because he feared backlash from the White House. A parable is not literal but what Bush said cannot be construed as a parable. As a result of this official’s mischief, the gullible may entertain doubt that perhaps it is true, what was said by Bush can be accepted as not literal and he himself is likely to believe it is true, he is not proffering an excuse for Bush but it is true what Bush said is not literal. This is sowing the seeds of false logic and future madness when you start to truly believe that what is impossible is possible.
What Bush uttered in private is an indication of the sort of person he is. His so called ‘affable guy’ public image is an act or lie because it has been reported that he is cold, distant and testy or surly in private such that aides were afraid to approach him and recently he was so uninterested initially in the New Orleans disaster because he was too busy with his holidaying that one aide had to pluck up great courage to hand him a DVD of TV coverage he made that he thought the president should look at.
What Jesus said below is correctly not literal but what Bush said cannot be construed as not literal unless you are mad or lying for him:
"For it will be as when a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted to them his property; 15 to one he gave five talents, * to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more. 17 So also, he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 19* Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.' 21* His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.' 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.' 23 His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.' 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not winnow; 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.' 26 But his master answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not winnowed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30* And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.' (The Buddha similar described heedless men as worthless, not in derision but as matter of fact. What Jesus says above indicates that people are not equal in spiritual maturity, there are one, two and three talent men and accords with what the Buddha says that people vary in their capacity to see truth, be virtuous, concentrate their minds and be selfless)
A Fish With More Sense Than The Church?
It seems a fish in New York may have more sense than the church because it spoke a few years ago to fishmongers slaughtering it that everyone need repenting for the end and judgment is near whilst the church as guardians of the faith does not see it prudent or responsible or it is their duty to publicly remind people in the face of portents like earthquakes in many places, nation rising against nation, global warming and the vanishing of species that as real as this world seems, there will be a close of the age and judgment.
Jesus said: "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; 48 when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous, 50 and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth. It is no stretch of the imagination that with the earth’s resources conceivably stretched to its limits and its population the maximum that can be sustained that the nets might now be finally full.
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" 4 And Jesus answered them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray. 5* For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. 6* And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: 8 all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.

9* "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away, * and betray one another, and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because wickedness is multiplied, most men's love will grow cold. 13* But he who endures to the end will be saved. 14* And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.

15* "So when you see the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; 17* let him who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house; 18 and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle. 19* And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a sabbath. 21* For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 Then if any one says to you, 'Lo, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 Lo, I have told you beforehand. 26* So, if they say to you, 'Lo, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out; if they say, 'Lo, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. 28* Wherever the body is, there the eagles * will be gathered together.

29* "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; 30* then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory; 31* and he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Amazon area threatened by drought
Brazil has adopted emergency measures to deal with one of the Amazon region's worst droughts in decades.
Scientists say water levels have fallen to a 30-year low, creating difficulties for river transport - in many cases the only way of moving people and goods.
Many towns along the world's second longest river have declared alerts amid fears they could become isolated.
Experts are blaming climate cycles, not global warming, for the drought, which has also led to enormous fires.
Brazilian meteorologists think the weather in the Amazon is affected by sunspots and water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean - factors which vary in regular patterns.
Record low
The average low for the Amazon River is 17.6m (58.1ft). But, on Sunday, the water level was measured at 16.2m (53.5ft), according to Daniel de Oliveira of the Brazilian Geological Service.
The Amazon - which is a lifeline for those who live in the river basin - is expected to continue dropping until November, he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
There are reports that a fuel barge headed for the city of Manaus has been stuck for two weeks because of the low waters.
Last week, 16 people were killed in a ferry accident which the captain blamed on difficult river conditions.
The dry spell is also affecting Peru, where the Amazon River at the river port of Iquitos has seen a record low.
Iquitos is reported to be experiencing long delays in the delivery of food because the river has become difficult to navigate.
True Logic:
There is true and false logic.
If what I say above and elsewhere is not to your advantage or convince you of sin, righteousness and judgment, what else said by anyone else will do so?
As simple as what I say might be, you can search the library of Congress or anywhere and you will not find another person currently or through out history who speaks what I speak the way I speak.
If it is true there was an unimaginable consciousness change after 1977 that was to everyone’s advantage then I definitely was the initiator and if it is true that there have been further previously unimaginable consciousness changes recently, it is likely that I was again involved because I did not copy my changes from anybody but I set out to behave in a way that went against convention (not smiling, not being nice, not stretching syllables, not changing speed and loudness that nobody else in this world practiced) and as a result I experienced consciousness changes that I never dreamt was possible before a few years ago. Even today, there are differences that set me apart from the rest, not as one in a coequal diversity but the diametric opposite of that myriad diversity. Whereas those who think they are smart and good still continue to act, continue smile and laugh whilst they speak, continue to stretch every syllable they utter with constant unnecessary changes in speed and loudness in the process creating renewing stress, restlessness and distraction, I don’t.
Assuming that the counselor Jesus described below is a person, if what I said is true, benefits (gives insight never conceived previously), if those consciousness changes after 1977 and recently is to your advantage, then the counselor would have to find some other ways to benefit you because I have already preempted him. And what I say accord with what Buddha said that stress and the cessation of stress is the paramount consideration. Who has shed light on what the Buddha and Jesus said as I have done?
Jesus: "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor (like Jesus who came), to be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you (perhaps he literally lives with you when he comes), and will be (in the future) in you.
"These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit (the counselor is the Holy Spirit), whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things (a broad range of topics), and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you (if the church has brought you remembrance the way the counselor will, there is no need for a counselor to do so).
But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me (it is easy to understand a physical being bearing witness but a spirit in mind only can only appear to that being and cannot bear witness to others outside of that mind); and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning (the counselor comes later).
But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you (the counselor must bring you advantage. If there was a consciousness change in 1977 and recently and what he says brings you insight that reduces your stress and restlessness as nobody else has done, that certainly is to your advantage).
And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness (goodness) and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world (mankind) is judged (when the counselor comes, the close of the age and judgment may be at hand). "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now (did a consciousness change make you able to bear what you previously did not? If so, this consciousness change did not occur by itself but was triggered by a person). When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth (there are other sources of truth, namely the Buddha); for he will not speak on his own authority (he appears like a person speaking on his own authority but it is not so), but whatever he hears he will speak (if the counselor knows everything he will not need to hear) and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you (if the church has glorified Jesus, has taken from what is his and declared it to you, there is no need for another counselor to come; if what the counselor says is similar to what the church says, he is superfluous). All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
