Men’s minds are magnetized;
attracted to one another individually,
and each man’s to humanity’s,
collectively.
This mortal mental magnetism
is unique in that
even when one mind seems repelled
by another,
it is yet still attracted thereto.
Men are social creatures,
and instinctively drawn together
physically;
they are also thinking creatures,
and are
likewise programmed to band
together mentally.
Individually, a particular mind
is naturally attracted to
another particular mind as surely
as a man of a certain
hormonal makeup is automatically
attracted sexually to a woman of a certain hormonal structure,
and on a larger scale, a particular
mind is drawn to the collective mind of a particular group just as a certain
wolf is drawn to join one pack in preference to another.
Ordinary men, (when grown, and
aspiring to sophistication),
profess, (at least perfunctorily),
to choose their friends; their
occupation;
their political allegiance;
their religion; their hobbies,
and if asked specifically why
they selected some particular something
they will say:
“Because I like it -- I enjoy
it,”
as though somewhere, earlier
in their life,
they sat down and decided what
things in life they would like,
and be attracted to, and what
things they would not.
(Upon but momentary reflection,
any intelligent person
instantly realizes the preposterousness
of such a proposal.)
When pushed a bit, some people
will grudgingly admit
that their sexual attraction
to a certain person seemed almost out of their control, (“love-at-first-sight,”
"I-know-she’s-no-good-for-me-but-
I’d-still-crawl-thru-fire-just-to-smell-her-hair”,
etc),
but all people will vigorously
resist the idea that any of their other choices in life were not exercises
of their own free will, (making allowances for instances when everyone
will point to some specific circumstance in their life wherein explainable
conditions literally FORCED them into a certain course of action,
[e.g. “I had to drop out of
school and get married
when my girlfriend got pregnant,
and I was forced to take whatever
job I could get --
which I now hate,” etc]).
But such collectively agreed
upon, meaningless exceptions notwithstanding,
people say that they willfully,
consciously,
and freely chose the things
in man’s second reality which they like & approve of, (those activities
that are creations solely of the human mind).
"I am a Democrat because I approve
of their policies.”
“I like hip-hop because it is
good music.”
"I belong to the X church because
their beliefs are correct.”
"I enjoy science fiction movies
because they always have a message.”
"I wear wide ties because they
look best."
"I like to read biographies
because you can always learn something from someone’s else’s life”
--
all quite common statements,
yet to an uncommon mind,
not a one could withstand the
breeze from
a hand-held funeral home fan.
To comment further on this obvious
& indisputable matter would be to insult a mind worthy of its name.
The natural magnetism of men’s
minds is what keeps ordinary individuals from ever recognizing the nature
of how theirs works.
When your mind is working in
conjunction with someone else’s,
(you are listening seriously
to their words;
you are watching their
movie; reading
their book;
thinking, [pro or con], about
their political, religious, social ideas),
you HAVE
NO mind.
Once noted, this is either obvious
to you, or it is not;
the trick is in being able to
remember it amidst the
worldwide magnetic field that
encompasses humanity,
and which relentlessly limits
the activity
that takes place in ordinary
men’s minds.
(The beauty of cartoon notions
of hypnotism is that
once a man is hypnotized you
can tell him that he is not hypnotized,
and the power of hypnosis is
such that he will believe that he is not.)
(As always, excepting examples
regarding survival related activity),
you do not turn on the CD player
to hear music;
or the radio to get the news;
you do not pick up the phone
because you want to
know how so-&-so is doing;
you do not read a book to learn
about anything,
and you do not talk to other
people because you
want to, or because you like
talking to them.
Unwittingly, ordinary people
are correct in viewing recluses
with grave suspicion;
not being with other people,
and more specifically,
by not being so --
not being able to TALK to other people
--
which is not
normal...........................(for normal people).
Standard minds cannot survive
without the company of other minds, any more than physically cannot an
individual ant, or bee survive in solitude,
apart from their group.
What routine people will say
is, “their thoughts”
is but a momentary segment of
all
men’s thoughts, small enough for them to fit in their mouth.
What bothers a few people is
this normally, irresistible
magnetic attraction between men’s minds,
but even they usually never
see the matter head on.
Because of the universal pull
amongst minds
they generally have some mental
picture of what
they believe may be going on
that is made up
entirely of bits & pieces
from all of the other
minds from
which they are seeking freedom.
(Prisoners unknowingly gripping
escape plans furnished by the warden.)
One father wrapped up this affair
to a son
in these words:
"Never buy anything from anyone
who
wants to sell you anything.”
It would be trick number one
to cease, or even decrease
the magnetic attraction between
your mind, and everyone else’s;
trick number next would be to
achieve something similar inside the confines of your own
head.
Never reach out and take anything
that
anyone tries to hand you.
To know what is going on in the
second reality --
- which is the only place where
it is possible to know -
is not to know
something --
it is to be empty
-- just like the second reality.
Consider the wonder of it:
magnetic attraction between no
shows.
