Still on the case, 
into which further looks could be justified.
 
 

            The 3 Stages Of Not Knowing:
 

Stage one is where everyone begins, 
and most people end: 
it is the state where in you do not know, 
and you do not know that you do not know.
Stage two must be individually achieved, 
and though in this condition, you still do not know,  now you know that you do not know.  
Stage three is seldom realized -- 
oh, men dream of another, and in fact 
believe that they understand what it would be --  for, 
what it would be --  OBVIOUSLY --  
is a condition where in they would finally KNOW --
but they are mistaken, 
and thus even if they reach stage two, 
the efforts they make from there on out, 
to depart there on from 
are not directed at the correct target;
thus, what transpires there on after 
cannot come as a surprise.
 

       The routine investigatory mind believes that 
       the proper treatment of motion sickness is --
       --  added motion;
       the cure of lack --   more,
       and the solution to overindulgence --  even MORE.
 
 

Why does a man born wearing a hat he dislikes
spend the rest of his life trying on other people’s?
If you listen to your own hat-wearing-head,
it will give a seemingly reasonable response to this question, but in so doing it merely upholds the already
established pattern of looking in the wrong direction
to ever experience stage three of not knowing.

Those of stage one and two of not knowing 
want wants,
while those who have had flashes of the realization
want an escape from useless wants.
Even if they found favor with the idea,
people in stages one & two cannot recognize what ARE “useless wants,” (in the non-physical sense --
which, you are reminded, 
is all ever being herein talked about).
Men with standard issue discriminatory facilities,
if they attempt a census of their mental population, 
conclude that some citizens are 
more worthy than others,
and will readily agree that some in fact are probably,
”useless,” and contribute nothing meaningful to the
overall well-being-of-the-state,
but such conclusions are native characteristics of
stages one & two, and are infallible indicators
of a man’s low degree of not knowing.
 

            It is a deluded diagnostician who detects 
                     varying intensities of illness.
 
 
 

In the second stage, men become aware of not only their displeasure with the individual hat on their head,
but of the general worthlessness of those 
being worn by others, 
yet in this stage they still cannot resist -- 
--  in spite of having glimpsed its futility --
bouts of envy and criticism directed there at;
they know that the passing cars their yard dog chases
are vehicles no better than their own,
yet the beast will still run after them,
yapping in various combinations of 
it imagining it to BE the car 
mixed with denunciations of its mere existence. 
 
 

        Once a thirsty man knows what saltwater is,
                 why does he continue to drink it?
 
 

If you do not know, and do not know that you
do not know -- then there is clearly no hope for you,
and if you do not know  --  AND know that you do not know --  BUT do not know what it is that you 
need to know ABOUT to bring the matter to a head,
then you are still not a lot better off --  BUT NOW 
knowing-about-this is your way out --
…though few men ever make use of it --
    …even should they hear of it --
        …what do you make of that?!
 
 

Is that a cheer we hear for Monday?! --
--  the god of all that is clear, murky, pure & gaudy.

…you see, the thing about trying to
ride-that-train from
sleeping-paris to
awakened-instanbul is that
once you understand the true nature of rail travel                     
it does not matter WHERE you are on the tracks,
for all roads lead to ________ (fill in the blank with
whatever tasty verbal morsel tickles your fanny),

    the ultimate pie-slicing being that:
        some men know this --  and,
most men do not --  ESPECIALLY those who --
                              say they do --
for those who make such claims are the supreme --
                             not knowers.
 

P.S. their numbers are such that they are never in need of additional members….just in case you can think of something else you might prefer to do for the next 
fifty or twenty years.
