--
and just enough time for:
MORE
ABOUT KNOWING
He who will answer questions, knows little;
he who will answer no questions, knows more,
and he who acts like he doesn’t even hear your questions
knows most of all.
(And you might grouse: “A lot of good that would do
me,”
but you would be mistaken,
for he would have been extending to you --
much help.)
What ordinary men believe
knowing to be
is like cutting off a finger to help you count.
You can then look at it and say that it is one…or two…
or none -- it’s entirely up to you -- it’s
your finger.
What an ant colony knows
is not what an individual ant wants to
know,
and what he wants to know is meaningless to the colony.
Knowing
that helps you reply to criticism,
and
lash out at others
is
not THE knowing;
knowing
better than this, is.
There is no support for knowing -- no proof;
if someone asked you: “how do you know?”
the way you know that you do know is by the fact that
you do not know the answer to that question.
When you
do not yet fully know,
you fall prey to answering such questions,
but when you step on a dead frog who knows --
-- fried pies come out his eyes.
You can change your left foot -- but not your right,
and only a man who knows,
knows better than to try it.
You never know you’re dead --
-- ’til you check.
Some who want to know -- but don’t,
hate anyone who does.
People who don’t know, think that those who do --
-- “Make the world go ‘round”
-- not so;
that is done by those who don’t know.
Those
who ask -- do not know;
those
who answer, do not know either;
look
where that leaves you…..
SEE
where that leaves you and you’re no longer left.
Most people have no interest in knowing;
the few who do
initially interfere with their chances by seeking it.
Those with the real potential eventually --
see through it;
get over it, and
go past it --
on to where it actually is -- not where mind
seeks it to be.
A man who knows is like an empty bucket of nothing;
everybody else is like
every THING else.
The dirt of the ant hill knows -- the
colony does not know.
The dirt & the consciousness of the colony are
both in you.
A man who knows,
and then says he knows,
no longer knows.
…(The reality of these 12 words
is in you.)
Those who do not know condemn ignorance;
those who do not know condemn ignorance as illusion;
those who do not know do not realize that
ignorance & illusion are as just as real as
knowledge & reality.
To know is to know no distinctions;
to not know is to be a drawer full of dividers.
If you shoot a man who knows,
he bleeds ones & zeros……….in no
particular order.
Those who know do not recognize the truth if
they hear it.
(That
is a “trick fact” that slipped out of your head.)
Real Fact: Trick facts count.
Not knowing is serious -- knowing
is not…..
…...but you can’t prove it!
You can call-a-man’s-hand if he doesn’t know,
but if he does know -- he can’t be bested.
(This too is all still seated at your inner poker table.
…[isn’t that something?!:
you don’t win --
yet you can’t be beat.])
Those who do not know,
see how “conditions-make-the-man”;
men who never know are products of conditions…yet,
those who know,
know this is not so.
The galaxy knows --
your neighborhood does not.
…It’s good to get out more
often -- away from YOU inside.
Joke Of The Day:
Those who want
to know
think that all men would benefit from knowing;
those who do know
understand how this idea appeals to non knowing minds.
Today’s Race Results:
Anything that is “not knowing”
is funny.
Those who do not know
believe they should be catered to.
Those who do not know
are a jillion laughs.
There is armed combat between those who know,
and those who don’t.
No one sees the arms, and no one sees the combat, and
the fattlebeal is in yo haid.
…(hey, laugh it up or everyone
will think you don’t know.)
