Another day with its own name;
a month of days, exclusively identified;
a year of months, boasting its own private number.
What a universe we live in!
What a universe lives in us!
All filled with words……and numbers……and words…
and numbers……and words…and words, and words.
Can you just imagine how much we must be 
envied by, black holes, brown dwarfs, novas, 
and especially all the neurons who went to 
all the trouble to fabricate the “self” in you 
that seems to be reading these words,
and who now is the only one who ever gets any 
credit for any of this. 
Hey, it’s good-d-d-d-d  to be king!
...even if the title is concocted.

But, anyway;
here are fresh updates for consideration by your, 
over-the-hill, 
pretender-to-the-throne,
royal noggin.

Certain men feel they have been kidnapped --
and are being held for ransom;
two small problems:
they do not know who has kidnapped them,
and they are not clear on what is being demanded 
for their release.
 …Oh, one more thing:
they are not even positive who it is that has 
been snatched,
(but they still feel vaguely certain that 
some sort of crime has taken place, and that 
they are somehow involved.)

Only the simple believe that men argue & fight about ideas  --    men argue & fight about genes.
Men do not want enlightenment because they feel unenlightened, but because they feel irritable.
That’s why simple seekers will give up rich foods, alcohol, hard labor & the riotous life in the name of gaining enlightenment  --  which is not their actual aim; what they really want is simply to feel better.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Anyone who seeks the understanding
for any reason other than the 
mental pleasure it brings, is a fool.

Everyone who seeks the understanding
starts out with entirely different reasons.

Query Revisited:  If trying to do this doesn’t give you pleasure --  why do it?!

Anyone who expects there is more to life than is 
physically apparent, is a fool in a handcart – but, 
he who still does not LOOK,
misses the most fun of being human.
The closest thing there is to, “a-point-to-life”
is discovering the territory & meeting the natives
where the idea of life having a point originates.
 
 
 
 
 

           Mind in man is a wandering lighthouse --
              searching for the source of the light.

Had we grown up in a different universe,
every name adam tried to give to a thing
would have been met by objection, (for instance): 
he said: “That is a, ‘cat’,” and god would have said: 
”No it’s not,” and when he pointed and said:
”That is, ‘up’,” god would have said: “No it’s not,”
and when he said: “All right: that over there is
’fallacy’,” god would have said: “No it’s not,”
and when adam said: “Okay: this stuff all around us 
is the, ’environment ’,” god would have said: 
“No it’s not,” until adam finally would have said:
”So why did you tell me to name everything if you are then going to tell me that every name I apply to something is not the right one?! 
I don’t get the point?!” and finally god would have grinned, and said: “Now you’ve got it!”

The non sexual reason that ordinary people prefer to live with another human being is so there is someone in bed with them each morning when they awake from night time dreams to reaffirm that they are 
somebody --  other THAN  -- just their body. 
(E.g. she rolls over and says: 
“Good morning, George,”
and George again has some apparent, 
outside evidence of his George-ness.) 
 
 
 

             The soft, social sciences were created by mind
             in the attempt to outfit ghosts in something that 
                       seems more substantial than sheets.

Everyone “believes” in something,
and no matter their culture,
everybody believes in the same thing: Thoughts.

There is nothing man can believe in but thoughts.

Thoughts believe in themselves;
some get carried away and worship themselves.

Everyone believes in something --  except a man with 
the understanding;
his thoughts have been slapped into reality;
he knows that a ‘cat’ is not actually a cat,
but he understands why it is called one --
everybody else does not.
 
 
 

With the understanding comes the 
understanding that all references a man makes to himself, (in past, present or future contexts),
turns him into a misnamed cat --  in his own eyes.
Too bad god was not around to correct your initial
naming faux pas, huh?!  but he could not have been,
he was the one feeding you the names.
Taking seriously the naming-voice native to your mental-garden only nourishes the 
undergrowth therein that chokes off the possibility of new, non standard, neural flowering. 
The safe bet is : Listen to no one --  ESPECIALLY -- 
--  you-know-who.
 

...............(Shhh --  he might be listening.)

The whole purpose in seeking 
the understanding would clearly seem to be
to have your questions about life answered,
and the truth is that it is your questions about life which keeps you FROM understanding: 
your irrelevant, meaningless, dumb-ass questions -
--  and it doesn’t matter how well versed your thoughts are in the metaphysical, or how appropriately mystical your questions seem,
they are all stupid, meaningless and dumb-ass!
…that is, if you really want to find out what 
is going on in this universe.
 
 
 
 

Quote: “A man
who constantly thinks about the knowledge
is my kind of man.

One who, after twenty years on the case,
never thinks about it at all, 
is NOBODY’S man.” 
 
 

(p.s. A man who knows what's going on can recognize
        what should not be taken literally.)
