Impeaching your way to enlightenment... really???

Here is a recent response to a student. I felt it would be good
to post as a Rant:
Thanks for that XXXXX.
There is only one thing you can do, but there are hundreds of
different ways/techniques/approaches. You are always questioning
in some way. Some folks hammer down on one technique, (like my
unnamed student who didn't speak for something over two years,
bless her heart) and other's who jump around like there pants
were on fire (who me?). You might study in some manner for a few
weeks and not gain anything, then a year later do exactly the
same thing and bingo-bango :P :P :P you wonder how the heck you
missed THAT!
At the core of every technique is some kind of question. You
will encounter many approaches, some simple, some complex, some
wise, some... well, I was going to say ''stupid'' but that's not
correct. Any question can bring you to the end if you are
willing and ready to go to the end. Not as simple as it sounds.
So, the present ''enlightenment'' question, as being presented
by the media, and which will take you all the way, is the
Impeachment Hearing.
Depending upon your b.s. tolerance level, you can, in the right
frame of mind, just turn on the T.V. or Youtube, find said
hearing and ask yourself ''What is going on here'' or in the
alternative, '''What the F is going on here''. Within the right
mind and experience set, it can be as enlightening as listening
to Nisargadatta... perhaps not as pleasant, but remember, we are
NOT looking for ''pleasant'', only ''effective''.
The answer is never out there, because there is no out there out
there. When some salacious, lying politician puts two words
together ''I am (not guilty) of blah, blah...'' don't think his
''I am'' and Nis's ''I am'' are different. They are not. I agree
that the tone, accent, context, surrounding, etc. may be very
different, but that ''I am'' is always the same. You CANNOT
escape it. Be it a poor Indian in his loft or The Don, in his
(for the present moment) White house... understand, there is no
difference at the core... nothing is different from anything
else, regardless of how it might appear. We only pretend (and we
pretend very well) that there are differences in order to keep
the game interesting.
Now, back to your work, it matters not what it is, just do it!
And never, ever think you can get the answer. The answer will
get you!
Love ya, Jed.

I find this to be effective at any workplace environment or any
other online forum (even here), or even a Thanksgiving meal with
your family. Some which may be pleasant. But its easy for me to
think of myself as better or separate from what's going on.
Especially if the question doesn't turn towards "what's going on
inside me and my mind?"

Well, I wouldn't worry about anyone else turning to you and
asking what going on in you. Nobody cares. Nobody love you but
you mother and me... and BB.
