onsider the word, water. Is the word, water, wet? Can that word quench thirst? Is the word, water, really water? Of course not. Its just a word, not real water. Now consider the word, I. Is the word or even the internal statement, I, floating in your head really who you are? Again, of course not. The silent speechless state that witnesses the word, I, is who you really are. That is Wisdom. The word, Wizard, comes from the word, Wisdom. It is prior to the bundle of alphabets and words called the mind. Wizards have the ears to hear the silent whisper from beyond alphabets. That is Wisdom. A Wizards Wisdom cannot be defined, known, contained or found. Thats because knowledge is of the mind. Wisdom is that which is prior to the mind. A Wizard dwells in Wisdom, the domicile of the wise. A Wizard re-cognizes the I, mind and 6.

Wizard has the eyes to see through the daydream of mortal existence as if it were an illusory and transparent dream. The building blocks of illusion are words, concepts, imagination, relationships and alphabets. Just information, memory and thoughts. Mind stuff. They make up the belief systems and images of who you think you are and what you think you see. Words have meanings which breed even more words that breed even far more words! Where will thinking end? Soon the ever growing bundle of thoughts becomes rather large like someone who collects pieces of string their whole life and ties each and every new found piece to the end of the ever growing ball of string. This ball of string is like a busy full mind. Its shear gravity commands attention. It obstructs your outlook. Herein lays the home of the ego-Narrator I and the idea or statement of who you think 10.
Believe Not
izards do not believe in believing. No need to believe anything. Consider a belief like reincarnation. With all due respect, reincarnation is just a belief. Beliefs are constructs of the mind. Who reincarnates, anyway? Any image or concept or idea about reincarnation from the bundle of thoughts (the mind) is just more of the same. Imagination. It is objective, insentient and not true awareness. It is a belief. All belief is temporary. Images, thoughts, concepts, ideas and bodies arise and dissolve in the pure awareness that is Wisdom. Consider Wisdom, the domicile of the wise. There are apparently as many belief systems as there are people. Beliefs are of the individual mind and constructed from words and thoughts rooted in mortal existence. Belief, time and memory are thought-threads in the tapestry of illusion and that includes reincarnation, myths, theologies, ideas and the like. Good is a belief. Evil is even a belief. 13.

izards dont do magic. Magicians, Conjurers, Warlocks, Necromancers, Sorcerers and the like do magic. Wizards do not do magic. Magic is for entertainment. Wizards express Wisdom. The Wisdom of the Wizard is in recognizing the current mysterious quality of synchronicity and going with what wants to happen. The Wizard has a very light hand and does little. Life happens of its own accord. The whole seen is a miracle for a Wizard. No doership required. Another point of view is narrators I notices extraordinary coincidences and calls it magic and assumes mortal doership in the apparent other and assigns that persons name the role of magician. They say that such and such a person does magic because coincidences are commonplace in their presence. Not true. Absolutely not true! Horizontal paradigm. 15.

onder present awareness. Ponder just the Now. Is it separable? Is it moving or still? Can you be away from it? Ever? No way! What is its capacity? Infinite. Ponder. What is this Now? You? You are synonymous with the Now. It cant be missed. Just be here right now. Open your eyes and empty the mind. Do nothing. Ponder how the Now accepts every-thing and attaches itself to no-thing. The Now is immediate and ever present as the Self. That means that the Now is actually you! Right now! Ponder that limitless capacity. Be empty! Be formless. Be in repose. Be nameless. Allow yourself to Be That! That is Wisdom. The Now is the Ocean of awareness and body-minds are like waves on the ocean of awareness. Same stuff. From stillness to becoming to returning to present stillness. Ponder further. Is not all a direct incarnation of this silent, still, infinite Ocean of 17.

n truth, are you really a linear story line married to the concept of time? Are you going through time on a moving now and held captive in a body? It is true that the body-mind carries memory in the form of a DNA code that perpetuates the illusion of birth-life-death of biology. But memory is biology. And memory is an insentient and an illusory trail and a seduction of the exquisite illusion that holds your attention in the idea of mortal time. In fact, yesterday and tomorrow are always nonexistent and make up the illusory horizontal mindset of before and after. History and future, ideas and concepts, beliefs and notions. It all requires time and space for its illusory mortal existence. Does this illusory movie not play out in the theater and on the screen of the ever present Now, the move-less paradigm, like a dream? Of course it does! A rainbow of shadows playing 20.

ow, consider Faith. True Faith. Faith as surrender and total acceptance rather than a theist meaning or a specific religion. This is a very important distinction. Faith is actually Trusting the Mystery. It is the antithesis of belief. Belief is made up of words deeply impressed in the mind. Faith is not. Faith is the invocation of perfection by acceptance of the Now. Faith is the way of the Wizard. Heres why. True Faith disarms belief systems and dogma. To put in plain words, Faith requires no words, beliefs, ideas, concepts or conditions. It does not even require religion or theology! Faith simply puts a capital M on the Mystery and trusts it. Thats all! Faith is not dependent on belief systems, thoughts or learning. Faith holds no judgment, no 23.

Meditation is Not
Something You Do
editation is not something Wizards do. Meditation is not a group sport. Being in repose in the midst of all action, unencumbered, is meditation. It has no form. The Wizards way is to surrender doership. Meditation happens. Meditation is Wisdom. Put a capital M on the Mystery and trust it. That will release attention that is addicted to the narrator I. Naturally allow one's attention to shift back to the silent witness or ground of Being. There is no transmission or even presumption of a separate self. Just natural stillness as existence. Already present. One is re-cognized as non physical existence and the narrator I dissolves into the Witness or Self. Allow yourself to do what comes naturally. Be innocent. Everything appears and disappears. That's your Sacred path. "See all action as perfect". In relationships, that deep 26.

Practice is Real
f you practice throwing a ball to someone, you really throw a real ball to someone real. You dont pretend to throw the ball, you actually do it. Practice makes perfect. Spiritual practice is taking care of the here and now. Allow tomorrow to take care of itself. Really put a capital M on the Mystery. Trust it. Be presence. Be here now. Transcend the narrator I and dwell in the domicile of the Wise. No need to pretend. Relax. Be the real You. Practice makes perfect. Wisdom then is not a matter of seeking the truth and gathering information but rather of the practice of living from Wisdom. This is the supreme challenge for Wizards. Practice means just that, practice. You practice the real awareness of here and now. It is not pretentious. Practice the paradigm shift to vertical. Be here now. The practice of being 28.

or Wizards, life is all the play of consciousness. In other words, it is all Thy Will Be Done. Thy Will is perfectly Free Will. Critical insight says Thy Free Will does not suffer the dilemma of apparent choice. It simply is. Without any obstruction, whatsoever. That means that every action is perfect. No exceptions. Ponder further. That includes even ones own thoughts as well as actions. This supreme Faith teaches the Wizard that the best form to worship is every form. A Wizard brings that Faith to ordinary life. Live. Simply do what comes naturally. Surrender. Relax. Be ordinary. Be in repose. Be enterprising. Deal with money. Allow intimacy. Drink and eat what you feel is best. Let thoughts happen. Have fun and experience sorrow, suffering and empathy for others. Allow anger, failure and madness. Stumble. Laugh. Cry. Live like you are writing on water. Take no thought. Leave no tracks. Take no credit. Dont look back. Allow 30.

very Wizard has ESP. Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) is the Sixth Sense, the actual sense of existence. The Sixth Sense is neither verb nor noun. It is nonphysical. It is Wisdom. Not accounting for the Sixth Sense is like the story of the tenth man; the ten men crossing the river in a boat and each counting only nine men after crossing to the other side to verify everybody made it safely and each forgetting to count their own self, the tenth man. The discovery is simply counting the Self. The same is so with the five senses, the Sixth Sense is the Self. The Sixth Sense is the only truly sentient sense. Like an unbroken thread of intuition, the other senses are strung on it.

eifications and I-Dolls are constantly sticking their heads up in the Now. They appear in many incredible forms. They are a part of the mortal and mystical drama. Many are simply ego trips. They are projections from the veneer of the mind. They can be awesomely seductive and trap your attention. You may even have a secret desire to be an I-Doll. This is not to say that sincere saints and sages are not worthy of veneration. The true sage, however, will exhibit equality and expose deification. Many I-Dolls are situated around the very well of our being. The water in the well is the same for everyone. Some set up toll booths to sell you, you. Usually it is in the form of a secret method or secret school of the esoteric arts with hierarchies, vows, mantras, memberships, God squads, wannabes they are all the same. It is carrot stick quackery. Dont be fooled! Drink freely from the Well. 38.

Turning Inside-out
he Wizards Wisdom is a profound paradigm shift, turning Being, itself, inside out. That is to say the body, mind, world and even the I-thought arise and dissolve in the infinite, eternal and inseparable NOW. Not the other way around. This silent theater of theaters, all inclusive, birth less and death less pure spirit within which State arises, I Am is Who you are turned inside-out. It is Wisdom. It is causeless. All are of it (Wisdom) but dont all recognize it. Being actually nameless, Wisdom goes by a lot of other names in many cultures throughout history; Atman, Tao, Christ, Bhagavan, Collective Unconscious, Divine, Self, Guru, Spirit, Holy Ghost, Rama, Now, God, Love, Intuition, Sixth Sense, Soul, Nirvana, Void, Heart, Arunachala, Shiva, Peace, Wizard, The Zone, Omkar, Great Spirit, etc.

Paradigm Shift is when a significant change in perception happens from one fundamental view to a completely different view. Thomas Kuhn wrote about Paradigm Shift during the sixties, and explained how "series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions" caused "one perceptual world view to be replaced by another view." In lay terms, a Paradigm Shift is a shift or transformation of the way we perceive events, people, environment, and life altogether. Non physical existence is literally true and a profound dis-covery for all Wizards. It is a THE paradigm shift. Ponder the notion that all phenomena is an insentient light show like a hologram played in the theater of the transcendent and transparent Self. All phenomena are 46.
ne of the difficulties in communicating the truth of our oneness is that the vertical paradigm cannot be known by the mind. The mind is the horizontal paradigm with past and future images comprised of knowledge. The paradigm shift to vertical does away with the illusion of the mortal paradigm and transforms your world into a benign play of consciousness. Although it cannot be known, "It" can be experienced by anyone as the heart of Being. Extricate your sense of Self from knowledge and be Wisdom. It is experienced deep within your own Being as your Being, headless and prior to thought. Share that. One experiences nonphysical existence, first hand. This is the paradigm shift that is so liberating. Affirm that Oneness which is already shared as the highest common denominator. To share Wisdom and the sixth sense is to commune. It affirms Oneness and Love. This 50.

he existing paradox of life is fraught with confusion and contradiction. Words and knowledge at best only point the way to the unknown. Words are the tip of the finger. Words do not constitute Wisdom. Enough said. Stillness is reached by being still. It is all Wizardry when you are quiet enough to listen. Bathe in the silence. Be not concerned about how the storyline unfolds. Allow the horizontal paradigm to dissolve away. Take your stand in headless Being. The mind cannot fathom the depth of who you are and is not the proper tool to re-cognize who you are as the unknown. Being is the girder and strength in the bridge to the unknown. Allow Being, itself, to fall to the heart. Paradigm shifts. Wisdom dawns. Faith is the antithesis of belief and/or concepts. Faith abides in the heart and requires no thought. Wizards peel the veneer of words off reality and put a capital M on Mystery. That is Faith. Trust the Mystery as Thy Free Will. It will take you 52.

Wizards Alchemy
ncient lore has it that a Wizards alchemy changes base metals into gold. In Wizard speak, this means the translation out of the physical paradigm into non physical existence. This is bona fide alchemy. It should get your attention. Anything else is trickery! Hold fast to the ever present paradigm of Now. Allow the horizontal story line to be, as it will, and your sense of Being will be transformed as the world becomes transparent and sacred. Simple surrender invokes non physical existence. This is true for both theists and atheists alike. Wisdom is not about what you believe; its about simply putting a capital M on the mystery and trusting it. Alchemy will take it from there. No doubt.

Pure Stillness
tillness is just that. Stillness. Stillness is unmovable, omniscient and omnipresent. Stillness is the Self, pure existence. Stillness is ever present as the pristine and inseparable Now. Stillness is peace, quiet, invisible and undivided. So-called past and future concepts emanate spontaneously from the core or heart of the Stillness creating the Mysterious horizontal illusion of incarnation, time, past, future. It is an illusion that the Now moves through time. Now is still and everything moves. Allow the movement as a benign apparition. Thoughts are no more real than the dream is real. That's all. Birth, life, doer, death and reincarnation are time bound concepts arising within the eternally still "Now". All temporary, but seductive story-lines reaching back into the illusory past and forward to the mysterious future. How can "stillness" be otherwise than move-less 56.

he narrator I in the middle of the skullbone cannot know the unknown with the mind. The mind is simply an improper tool. It is like using arms to walk instead of using legs. The narrator I is the individual personality and seeker. The same seeker that seeks/desires money, food and sex ultimately seeks the truth and wants to know or own it. The Narrator I is never, never, ever enlightened and most likely a rascal. At best, it can only bow its head. If the narrator I cannot muster the Faith, another efficient way is to use the mind for self examination. It is using a thorn to remove a thorn. Either way, mind is undone. Being is the true and eternal sense of existence, not thinking. When the mind is quiet, that which is nonphysical, eternal and unknown is inherently Self evident. 58.

iew everyone you meet as a Godsend. Never be too proud to do so. Treat every circumstance the same way. Be humble. Be the sculptor who sees that true image embedded in that piece of granite. Ponder "every action is perfect" and let it all go. It is even prior to forgiveness. Trade knowledge for pure innocence. Recognize one another in God. See all as grace, including some intense grace. Pain and discomfort are not necessarily suffering, but they are part of the condition of the body-mind. Just biology. Old age, sickness and death are inevitable for the biological body-mind. Allow biology to run its course. No need to judge the biology. In the mean time, the subjective Being is no more affected than the surface of a mirror reflecting an image. Just like a dream when 60.

mbrace the inspiration to communicate the truth of our oneness in different ways and in challenging cultures as fate will allow. Your work will undoubtedly break the role models of the past and many traditionalists will inevitably be shocked or offended as new leaves and forms bud on the tree of life. This alchemy of creation yields and reveals ever new ways to express the truth of who you really are. You will be using your present unique human endowment and circumstances to express the truth of your oneness. A Wizard sees the truth of oneness in the dance of daily realities. This gift has the power to bring out the truth in each and every one and is the secret of good company. The master sculptor sees the goddess in the block of granite and goes about removing what is not the goddess to reveal the beauty 62.

A Wizards Re-Creation
he Wizards Vision is always present Peace and clarity. It is the eyes to see the Now, clearly. It is not an image of the future. The Vision is one of responsive service, here and now. The Vision is a recognition of existing wholeness. It is the wholeness of the mutual transcendent Self, our minds & bodies, our planet, all within our current reality. The Vision spontaneously supports stewardship and mentorship. The Wizards Vision is open-ended, open-minded, in repose and allows for its own unique recreation. An environment that fosters a Wizards recreation is mutual trust. Simply called good company. Enjoy it! A Wizards re-creation is natural and organic and aligned with Mystery. A Wizards re-creation is to nourish and heal, continually restoring wholeness back to the environment. A recreation that is responding to the genuine needs of one another and those served. As a 67.

ohns friends as well as his business and professional associates call him The Wizard. He says hes just doing what wants to happen. John Troy is a horizontal story line. As such, it is written in third person. It is imaginary in the sense it is not what you think it is. Wizard Baldour is the everpresent vertical paradigm. It is not imaginary. It is nameless. It always is. The preceding portion of this manual is written from the stance of the vertical paradigm of existence, the here and now.
