Achieving Insignificance

This is a metaphysical goal, right? To not matter...

Most of us work (or play) our little butts off trying to matter. But what about the reverse?

You couldn't find a teacher to instruct you... How could you trust a teacher of insignificance who was listed in the phone book? Or was recommended by word of mouth?

You ask yourself, why would anyone want to achieve insignificance? Oh, man, there are lots of reason. Obviously anyone who has a blog isn't pointed towards this goal... But I'm aware that there are people who are trying to erase themselves from the consciousnesses of all those who surround them. Sometimes I view this as a handy talent.

Anyway, I'd love to see a school of 'being' start up in which this was the announced goal, which, of course, they'd couldn't announce, as it would be significant...

Pick whatever teacher you want, it doesn't matter...

And you think that's significant?

If you are seeking insignificance haven't you already defeated yourself?

It doesn't matter, -I continuously achieve insignificance.

If you think of insignificance does that imbue it with significance?





Wow, that used up all the brain power I have at my disposal today.
