THE TRUE VIEW: THE CORRECT DIRECTION
 

One man mused; “I only have one friend: my mirror,”
and his mirror mused: “I only have one friend: reflection,” and reflection mused: 
“I only exist through the man looking for me,” 
and the man re-mused: 
“I only exist through looking for myself,” 
(neither his stomach, nor other somatic organs 
joined in this conversation.) 

When it is hot in argentina it causes canadians to shiver,
with unhip ones believing it is due to local conditions.
On planets that plainly-see, 
there are no,“local conditions,”(which is to say): 
no illusions of local conditions. 
 

In closed universes & boarded up rooms, far corners  
--   no matter how far from the imagined center --  
still do not qualify as places of “local conditions”;
conditions are omnipresent  --  same as is conscious mind,
and not realizing this confines a man’s ideas to 
dark, stifling corners of a small, closed-up, local room.

Mind can only produce ideas by operating as though it is
restricted by invisible walls,  which  give a little over here,
and push back a bit, over there.
 

The thoughts of a man who understands
resists nothing --  accepts nothing.
Only childish minds prefer batman over the penguin.
 

An efficient method to increase the odds of your 
finally finding the understanding 
is to immediately cease giving any attention to 
anything your mind says in reaction to 
anything that anyone else's says.
Begin right now instead, to swallow whole --
--  with no hesitation, thought or condition --
every word that comes from the throat of humanity.
To an ordinary man, this sounds dangerous --
but ordinary men have no serious clue as to what mind is;
the penguin can never harm the caped crusader.
(Must the modifier, “actually” 
be put before the word, “harm”?
Do only children read this?!)
 

You do not need a telescope --
you can see to the edge of the universe with 
your own eyes.
All you need initially do is 
                  locate the true center of your own.
 
 
 

 
THE CHOICES:  THEIR REARRANGEMENT
 

There are only two things for men to talk about: 
people, and things,
and maximum velocity in pursuing clear-vision
is achieved by talking about man as though 
he were a thing.
This does not insult man -- contraire --
                it frees him from undeserved criticism.
 
 

No one expects mathematics from alligators,
nor poetry from possums,
but men’s minds direct them to make 
demands of themselves that assure disappointment.
 
 

Life has developed in man a brain that produces thoughts,
which in sizable part are devoted to 
the condemnation of man:
both of others, and oneself.
 

The benefits of censuring certain behavior is 
clear, and direct enough, 
whereby mind directs that men be held accountable for seeing to it that when agreed upon ideas to live by, 
(no rape, no thievery), 
come in conflict with instinctive physical desires, 
(wanna rape, wanna steal),
the former will rule the latter, 
and social safety be maintained,
but when reproof leaves the physical realm,
the advantages are less certain, and immediate.
How mankind may ultimately benefit from
liberal notions’ denunciations of conservative ideas
is not to be concluded from its present execution;
the gains man collectively realizes 
via the condemnation of one idea by another 
is too long range and non local 
to be apparent to ordinary minds, 
no matter how they primly insist otherwise.
A man who says that a current ideological conflict is caused by this-or-that 
is as deluded as one who predicts that it will eventually result in that-or-the-other.
 

The affairs of mind have their own specialized existence, and men of no exceptional mental agility
never suspect what it is about.
Allowing your mind to make you talk about people as though they are responsible for the activities of their mind assures that you will never catch on
to what’s
going on
concerning mind.
 

From one view you can say that mind does not exist -- but even if it does --  it should be thought of as a thing.
Remember: there are only two categories you can 
talk about: people and things, 
and while people are people, and operate as such,
minds fall into the category of things.
If you get to the bottom of what this means
you will have a three ton derby removed from your head.
 
 
 
 
 
 

To be ordinary is to be melodramatic; 
to be melodramatic is to be needlessly distracted,
and wasteful of energy in your brain that could be used for a purpose you wouldn’t now believe.

Be a bottomless pit;
swallow whole, whatever comes your way,
and you will discover that you have no personal, strangling tastes.

Preferences are the imaginary illness 
robin conjures up to skip school on mondays.

       Get over that, and every day is saturday.
