Logic is a study of three movements: coming together, coming apart, and coming out of.
Being taught means: a) the past and future come together, b) you and yourself come apart, and c) someone you are not takes your place.
So is the deathly logic of being taught.
You are dying o' my student. Must I tightened strangulation?
1. "Why did I die?" That is the structure of every lesson.
2. In being taught, there is no middle ground between learning and ignoring. Learning is recognizing the cause of your current death. Ignoring is pretending you are still alive.
3. Death is in the cradle: you die no later than being born. In realizing this you will see the absolute necessity of learning everything that your death is teaching.
4. Pain is a sign of your current death. Not the only one, but the most convenient.
5. To live a life of being taught, that is, to live your current death in all its devastation, you must let the future take its full hold upon you.
6. Therefore, learning is tied to forgetting. The more you forget, the more you can learn.
All is this? All is that? No no no. All is teaching.
What of death? Why yes yes yes! — It is our greatest lesson.
My teacher, oh my teacher! There is no hate or love.
There is learning, there is learning.
[repeat 8 times]
I will not exist. I am what I learn.
Teach me, oh my teacher!
I will to disappear.
[repeat 10 times.]
[Upon the 10th, whisper them softer and softer until silence is all you speak, which you will speak for 10 more times.]
[First move your lips but speak inside your mind. Then soften your mind's voice as you repeat, until the oath is made as pure meaning and breath. You will then be in the future.]
