THE UNSEEN & UNSEEING
I
There was an invisible man who
was
much interested in knowing himself,
but was frustrated since there
was
nothing he could see about himself.
To compensate for conditions
he concocted
an imaginary persona & life
for himself
which he could picture in his
mind AND study,
and being aware that it was
entirely his creation,
anything he learned there from
would be
an indirect lesson about himself
-- the creator of the imaginary mental image.
Any who does not recognize this
as a
singular stroke of genius is
bleary eyed;
anyone who does not recognize
the practical significance of the story will remain that way.
OH-O,
SAY CAN YOU SEEEEE?
When not fighting for survival,
a man’s eyes stay stuck on far
away places,
(also his “I’s”).
Daydreaming is the brain’s re-processing
of
memory files when it has nothing
contemporaneously better to do.
Quote of The Day:
“When I feel unusually happy
I do not feel particularly concerned
about the idea of being more conscious, or not.
Is there
something I should be learning from this?!”
Secret of The Day:
Nobody knows who the “you”
is in them
that can be aware of
the thoughts in them.
BE HEE-ELED!
Consciousness is a cripple who
walks only by use of other people’s thoughts,
(truth is; he’s legless, and
all
thoughts are
someone else’s).
Consciousness must eternally
be propped up by some thought -- any thought --
to even exist.
Some life, huh?!
Forever dependent for your mere existence on the help of strangers &
passers-by
with whom you may have nothing
of practical value
in common.
If your thoughts are continually
reacting to
the thoughts of others,
and you believe that you actually
think --
then the joke's on you.
YOU NEED TO REMAIN
RICH
There was a man who had a great
fortune,
but every time he left his house,
part of it was lost.
...(A man always out in the yard
chasing the dog
is
a laughingstock.
Hint
for The Day: Use this info on yourself.)
CONVENTION TIME
Let the ordinary branch of the
extraordinary line
stand together, hold hands,
and moan:
“Ohh, if only so-&-so were
still alive, and had met me,
and recognized my worthiness
--
oh, how awake I would be today.”
Today,
today, today! What a blessed concept;
what an accursed curse.
Today, today, today:
The excuse for all dreams.
........…(Not really: dreams
excuse themselves.)
A man who can be
discouraged
deserves to be discouraged.
...…(Not really: “deserves”
does not herein mean
what you would think;
but rather it signifies a conscious
recognition of
the mortally unavoidable --
to-certain-things-born.)
What's on de menu:
Those
with nothing worth talking about -- talk about themselves,
and those with nothing worth thinking about --
you got it.
Escape
Info for The Day:
Don't think about you --
think about your brain.
Quiz for The Day:
(a): While the brain monitors
everything else going on in a man,
it shows little interest-in,
or much tolerance-for
the frustration inherent in
trying to monitor itself.
(b): The brain wants to think,
but not about itself.
(c): All brains have an interest
in being more conscious, but few have enough to make them actually
DO anything about it.
......(Make room for those awaiting
bus Number 8.)
A tripping from which few ever
arise is that:
no discoveries are made in the
second reality --
-- only new fictions invented.
There was an invisible man…
Jx
The difference between talking
to ordinary people, and a man who understands is that
ordinary people always want
to be right while the man who understand wants YOU to be right.
