Method
Place
a bunch of fist size rocks in a circle. Sit inside the circle with
a tin cup.
The
concept
A
foole and his monie be soone at debate, which after with sorrow
repents him too late. Thomas Tusser
Social
justice, in a world of credit appraisement as the sole means of one's
establishment in the hierarchy of material man, seems lacking for
those who rest their morals on the virtues of fairie dust. It is a
stroke of good fortune that human nature is wont to feel good in
benevolent undertakings so long as there remains a shade of intrigue
in parting with a few coins. The feelings of being had are much
diminished when that rationalizing brain is skewed by the possibility
that a fling at altruism was keen on cultural au courant.
For
those au courant challenged folk, a we bit of inveigling may allude
to the possession of sophistication, that much needed ingredient in
the the deployment of chicanery. A circle of rocks is no fools' play.
It avows purpose, brilliance, introspection, all those much needed
values to entice the altruistic at heart. Chicanery is any man's
game, we may all play for free. To win or lose at it is but fairie
dust.
Criticism
Do
you have a degree in stone sitting, where is your business proposal,
your environmental impact statement? Have you considered the
workplace safety issues involved here? Are you just making fun of
the mankind's most profound efforts at chicanery? You will likely be
arrested for terrorizing little old ladies with your arsenal of
missiles. You with that tin cup proffering solace to the charitable,
consider your impact on the impressionable young ones.
The notion of "chicanery"
is typical of human dearth, which has found its way into romantic
fools' hearts via farcical influences. The notion of "chicanery"
introduces a false notion of duality between "chicaneror"
and "chicanerousness", whereas the essence of trickery is
the realization of the "non-duality" of observer and
observed. "Pure chicanerousness" does not exist; all
chicanery is mediated by intellectual and cognitive activity. The
specific teachings and practices of a specific tradition may even
determine what "chicanerousness" someone has, which means
that this "chicanery" is not the proof of the
teaching, but a result of the teaching. A pure chicanery
without deceit, reached by "cleaning the doors of perception",
would be an overwhelming chaos of trickery without coherence.
The
privatization of chicanery – that is, the increasing tendency to
locate chicanerousness in the psychological realm of personal
experiences – serves to exclude it from political issues as social
justice. Chicanery thus becomes seen as a personal matter of
cultivating inner states of tranquility and equanimity, which, rather
than seeking to transform the world, serves to accommodate the
individual to the status quo through the alleviation of anxiety and
stress.
Practical
implications
The
investment of remunerations can be cause of some consternation. The
neophyte entrepreneur may well invest in a flute or simple recorder
and learn one or two pleasant tunes to augment their revenue. An
outfit of eccentric duds may be beneficial, although if you have a
hankering to sit in a circle of stones this may not be necessary.
The pleasant approach to salutation is viewed as the most productive
scheme by sufferable diehards, chiding augmented by profanity seen as
less forthcoming. A big smile and a helpful hand may oft get you a
free quarter pounder from the establishment next door. For the
distraught and resentful types this may not be elementary and a good
course in etiquette may be an advantageous investment here.
When you
arrive home at night to your warm and cozy bed under the eight lane
overpass or in the local forest, you may consternate over your
opulence. Oft, the best protection against theft and muggery is to
simply spend it all on perishables, consuming them quickly or even
sharing with scavengers. If you luck out and find an impregnable
hoarding spot, you may amass your revenue to the point of
establishing yourself in a townhouse or just a cozy flat depending on
your social appeal. It is best to find a charitable bank teller who
will convert your copper and silver into greenbacks of appropriate
denominations as landlords have a tendency to shy away from bags of
loose change. Once so established, you my find life a tad more
tolerable, having a dry blanket on those drizzly wet days.
Philosophical
insights
If we
negate the false notion of duality between "chicaneror" and
"chicanerousness", with the realization of the non-duality
of observer and observed, we can move on with our livelihood
knowledgeable in the fact that one is all and all is one. We can be
one with our circle of stones and any trickery involved. Chicanery
incarnates us and we incarnate chicanery. Avowing to a sense of
disorientation and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless
or absurd world, we can transform our world into a medley of
challenging, day by day societal impacts, wilfully existing while
entertaining our essence. We can be jarred out of our habits, the
meaninglessness and absurdity creating a behaviour pattern that is
not consistent with that which is considered normal. We can rest
assured at night knowing there is no meaning in the world beyond what
meaning we give it. Our authentic existence has been created and we
can live in accordance with the dust of our edification.
