A sign that you are normal and confused 
is that you have something to say about everything -- 
yet most of what the mind has to say 
has no point and never goes anywhere. 

Although it may not be said in such words, 
at the heart of men’s non physical complaints with one another 
is the fact that once a speaker has established the subject, 
he never seems to  -- get-to-the-point; 
his conversation never goes-anywhere. 
While the talking part of man’s brain can certainly 
hold its attention on specific matters with known goals 
in the physical realm, 
(medical research at the cellular level), 
when it comes to the intangibles that  fill up 
most of men’s conversations, 
(“me; what I think: what I like; what I dislike: 
who I agree with,” and so on), 
there is no such certainty of purpose; 
the conversations just ARE; 
there is no aim to the verbal activity other than 
the action of the activity itself. 
(Collectively it does serve the specific purpose of 
acting as a social adhesive, 
but our instant interest is on the individual.) 
Men apparently find fault with other men’s 
words & ideas on the basis of their content, 
but their criticism is based on something 
more fundamental, and normally unnoticed, 
(or at least, un commented on), the fact that: 
what men’s minds say, never goes-anywhere; 
never gets-to-the-point, (whatever, [god knows], that might be?!?), 
and amidst it all no mind ordinarily makes note 
of the quite clear fact that 
there is no clear object to what is being said, 
other than for the object of saying it. 
 
 

Before your own so-called thoughts 
leap to a premature concussion, 
note that as always: herein is naught amiss, 
in that when you talk about things that have no reality, 
there can be no point to what you’re talking about. 
….well….except for the, (god forbid), obvious; 
that what is being talked about actually doesn’t exist. 
But also in that the mental reality in which man 
lives a major part of his life 
is a necessity for the life he presently lives, 
when he talks about this world he is obliged to do so 
in a manner that treats it as having real substance 
on par with, (and in some instances, superior-to), 
physical reality. 
As is easily noted by those so interested, 
men do not ordinarily make any acknowledgement 
of this verbal pretense in which, by necessity, 
they endlessly participate. 
They spend the far greatest part of their speaking lives 
engaged in talking seriously about matters that are 
clearly irrelevant to them personally at best, 
and ridiculous to all concerned at worst, 
and are compelled to do so with a straight face, 
while never letting on at all that the older, 
more survival-hip, non verbal areas of their brain 
know another reality entirely. 

  
People who somehow manage the unnatural feat of 
shifting the day-to-day core of their verbal based 
consciousness closer to these other areas 
experience a sudden perspective of life, 
and themselves that is so extraordinary, and explanatory 
as to be described in quite surprising terms  --  such as calling it: 
                 “Awakening from an unrealized sleep.” 
 
 
 

If we lived on a planet with different atmospheric conditions, 
man could avail himself of the, 
Grandeissimo-method-of-awkening, 
whereby you continually interrupt whatever the mind is saying, 
             and tell it:  "GET TO THE POINT!” 

...and by the time it finally realizes that there IS no point  --  
              --  it’s too late  --   you’re awake.
