THE ULTIMATE
DEBT CRUNCHER.
_____________
Think what a money saver death
will be!
(Better than a brother in law in wholesale).
Everyone complains about the
cost of living,
yet no one notes the savings
in dying.
The timid, weak & witless
dread death,
while those, truly-on-their-toes
hold another view of the BIG
“D”,
(as always, their different
perspective of this common
physical affair is related to
their special
non-physical pursuit, in wother
oords:
their interest is not in physical
death,
but in the demise of something
less tangible --
of something that in fact, has
no actual life of its own;
their attention is on the killing
of a thing that merely
reflects
life -- and in a manner MOST
costly.
To ordinary people, the constant,
automatic, audible activity going on in their head is just part of the
cost-of-doing-business
-- the price for being alive;
it is in fact an activity that
contributes to men’s
staying alive,
but from the view of a few somo
hapiens,
much of this cost is unjustified,
(and it is a further yen waster
to forget that this is
a minority view).
Routine people not only un-analytically
accept this
inborn, in-house, running commentary
to their life,
but in fact encourage it, and
seek to add to it.
The thinking of such standard
issue minds is that
enriching the voiceover
will enrich their enjoyment
OF life.
And, “Hang
the expense!” (they in effect say),
not aware, (from the minority
view), that in so doing
they actually diminish
the potential mental pleasures of being alive and able to think.
What everyday men call thinking,
those, off-the-calendar
see as an impediment TO
the enlightening & pleasurable use of mind.
The unrecognized cost of thought is so expensive
that it keeps most men too poor to afford real thinking.
Everything that thought puts
together is
costly beyond mind’s ability
to calculate;
everything arranged & constructed
by thought
costs the mind everything it
has.
Thus do those with that certain
interest
find a certain death
to be a great cost cutter
inasmuch as after this particular
expiration is complete
they no longer spend everything
they have
on items that can only be fully
enjoyed
BY the price that they paid
for them.
They are then no longer men
paying for admission to the
Louvre with their corneas,
or for a table at Maxim’s with
their tongue.
(“I regret that I have but
one neural in-law to
feed to the dogs of retail.”)
Out amongst the herd it has always
been a customary sign of sophistication for a man to complain about the
cost of keeping a mistress, in addition to his wife;
(and while no doubt the expense
of dual households
can be arduous,
’tis still an arrangement expected
of those with
true savoir faire).
In the world inside of human
heads,
do all people keep a paramour,
an illicit lover in addition
to their lawful mate.
To be worldly-wise, must a person
engage in such a life long inner affair;
to fit mentally with the majority
you can not
limit yourself to only,
”Dancing
with the one you brung.”
To stay-up-to-mental-speed with
the herd,
(which, to the few means to,
“slow down”),
you must live a life in your
mind in which you are habitually unfaithful -- to yourself,
(as it were).
You have a lawful mate: physical
reality,
and a lover: the mental commentary,
and the two combined provide
a person with
a perfectly ordinary, respectable,
and
understand-nothing life.
The expense of supporting these
dual households
is such a drain on a person’s
energy & attention
that there is not enough left
over to pay for
unnecessary personal activities,
(such as studying the nature
of having thoughts).
A person with a neural paramour
lives a life of constant pretense;
their life is a sham;
they publicly pledge their fidelity to one,
while secretly embracing another.
They swear to their liver they’ll be true,
then over Jim Beam ads, drool.
All routine people say they believe
this-&-that to be so
when in their hearts, they know
they don’t know.
But chin up! there ole Bessie
& Ferdinand! --
”A
cow’s gotta do what a cow’s gotta do
to
get by in this world,
and
what’s it cost me in the long run
if
I look at butter, and agree that it’s cream?!
Hey
- that’s the way things are --
here
in the herd where we live.”
The cost of keeping two worlds
alive in your head;
one you know to be real, (and
all-too-familiar),
and one you imagine, (but, Oooh!,
how exciting!),
is beyond mental calculation,
but to an alert ear,
sufficient to note is that it
does cost your
mental potential every cent it has
at every moment you are so engaged.
It is not possible to leave your
lawful mate, (reality),
and the expense involved in
dumping your lover is,
for most people – prohibitive.
Solution? -- death!
Death is a cost saver like you
wouldn’t believe --
and death by any means possible:
death by starvation; death by
strangulation;
death by indifference, and ultimately:
death by neglect of the erstwhile
mental mistress.
Once she is out of your life,
it is astounding the amount
of disposable
intellectual income you have
available;
and this new cash is magical:
it doesn’t just “buy”
stuff --
it exposes all mental “stuff”
for what it is --
-- advertising!
There are no products
-- only their ads.
Behind all promotions is only
the promotion itself.
The puffery IS
the product;
the promises ARE
the only fulfillment.
Do you begin to even partially
sense
the wasted expense
of dealing in this commerce?
You get just as much for mooing
as you do for not
mooing,
(plus it leaves your mornings free).
Now there
is a key word for a keyed-in person:
FREE.
Everything that keeps you confused,
dreaming, and captured -- costs you;
it is expense to keep a person
confined to a
dark room in a foreign country;
every single thing that the
few do not like costs them,
while everything they seek is
free.
Herein lies the difficulty in
realizing that
there is nothing you can DO
to wake up to what’s actually going on,
all that is possible is to stop
doing that which supports your dream life.
Give up the illusionary mistress-on-the-side.
Save your money! -- Away with ‘er!
Death
to ‘em all, and
liberating riddance.
