News from here-&-there,
                               regarding this-&-that,
                               for those whose heads are bare,
                               and those who’re wearing a cap.
 
 
 
 

First the weather:
It was a warm day in hell;
things went about as expected;
still everyone acted surprised......many even complained.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

              MAN’S STRANGE SEARCH FOR REALITY,
        AND HIS EVEN STRANGER DISINCLINATION TO 
          LOOK DIRECTLY IN ITS DIRECTION WHEN HE 
                       GETS CLOSE TO WHERE IT IS. 
 

To a man interested in the idea of another state of mind,
nothing is more real than his present, unsatisfying one,
or the near palpable potential of a better one;
to such people, nothing is more real than this whole affair;
nothing is as pleasurable --  nothing is as interesting.
Men with this hunger cannot be made to give it up -- 
they in fact can hardly do so themselves --
even in exchange for finally meeting the hunger.
”Bottomless pit” does not begin to describe the
ravenous appetite and capacity of mind,
and he with no familiarity with infinity,
is he, confused, and forever hungry.

On one world, 
success is measured by a bullet to the head.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

                             TODAY’S QUOTE
 

”I want all the pleasures of being a recluse, 
and none of the hardships;
I want to dislike people without having to deal with them;
I want to criticize without participating;
I want to think about being free from my thoughts
without actually having to experience such a 
horrid event.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

                 RE: THOU SHALTS & NOTS
 

Anyone who says that men should do this, 
and men should not do that  --   is a fool, 
and anyone who reads such statements, 
and does not realize their foolishness, is a cow.
No one knows what men should do; 
men do what they are supposed to do;
the only thing that men can meaningfully say 
concerning what men should do 
is about what behavior is most conducive to 
peace & order.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

             THE SPECIOUS POWER OF 
          HOCUS POCUS PUNCTUATION.

A big mistake was ever putting the words, “one mind” 
in capital letters; 
this caused men to believe that it referred to 
something metaphysical rather than the simple fact that everyone has but one mind, 
and that everyone’s individual mind is a part of 
a unified human intelligence.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

     WHAT MORE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Those who enjoy art, enjoy art;
those who enjoy music, enjoy music;
those who enjoy movies, enjoy movies;
those who enjoy politics, enjoy politics;
those who enjoy religion, enjoy religion;
those who enjoy literature, enjoy literature,  and
those who enjoy conversation, enjoy conversation,
but that is all there is to it --  they enjoy it.
There is nothing metaphysical about any of it;
nothing is anything other than it is,
and because of this, men invented the concepts of 
metaphors and symbols,
which have no more substance than do
flickerings on the wall from film.
The enjoyments exist entirely in men’s minds,
a fact their minds commonly forget.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

      AN UPPER LIFE LIVED AT HOOF LEVEL
 

Whining is an invisible glue that helps 
hold a herd together;
good for a herd  --  an intolerable hobble for a cow wanting to break free and run loose on his own.
The instinctive workings of cow brains cause them to
continually find fault with life-in-the-herd,
due almost exclusively to the unthinking, 
offensive mental behavior of other cows.
If cows did not find one another irritating at head level,
herds would disintegrate,
and routine bovines require the close 
mental companionship of their fellow creatures
to maintain a minimal level of neural activity.
There is no scientific reason for anyone to whine,
other than from physical pain --  and --
the body does not whine;
whining comes from but one place --  mind,
from a place that has no feelings;
no sensory nerves; no sensations of pain;
what the hell does it have to whine about?! --
--  other cows’ whinings, that’s what.

No cow likes what another cow has to say --
unless it agrees with what he has to say;
if what another cow says doesn’t match up with what
you think, you find his ideas nothing more than 
idle whining.
All cows think that all other cows should, “Get over it!” 
get over WHAT?! ---  being a cow?
Does anyone actually believe that anything a cow can do will ever enable it to fly, or do anything not dictated by the wiring of the bovine brain?
Cows run too close together in herds to suit a few,
and tend too often to moo in unison -- 
but that’s the intractable nature of cows  -- 
--  YOU get over it.
You whining about it simply secures your place in the herd.
To see what is going on, and break free,
don’t let the dust of herd life stick to you -- 
--  which it won’t --
if you don’t keep looking at it, and whining about it.
Take a lesson from how the kosher GI tract of geese 
deals with pork;
let everything pass right thru you;
be Super Goose: 
swallow whole hams in a single gulp,
and forget they ever crossed your lips.
A mind that has seen --  the-open-plain --
is then large enough to accept it all;
it resists nothing, 
realizing that in so doing, it resists reality,
and turns away from the goal it has so long sought.

Relax --  surrender  --   give it up, and go for a
barefooted run amongst the imaginary cow paddies.

           The feeling of freedom is indescribable.
