YIELDING TO ONCOMING.
(NOT A STORY ABOUT TRAFFIC)

For
prison to work, inmates must voluntarily cooperate.
Ordinary minds picture prison
as a place where
people are held solely by force,
but as so often is the case
with these creatures --
their view lacks elucidating
detail.
None of the stone & mortar
prisons anywhere in the world
could contain their prisoners
did they not cooperate &
voluntarily participate in their imprisonment.
Such places never have a sufficient
ratio of guards to inmates
to physically restrain them
& enforce their confinement;
peace prevails at such sites
only through the prisoners’ acceptance of their situation.
Commonly, once a man’s society
has condemned him for
some offense there against,
he will accept their judgment,
and if confinement is the punishment,
he will passively submit himself
there to.
Humans overall are programmed
to be submissive to authority,
and will freely acquiesce to
its displays & attempted exercise:
someone speaking & acting
in an authoritative manner can suddenly order people walking down a sidewalk
to stop where they are,
and stand over against a building
and wait -- and most will do so,
just as inmates will return
to their cells when a bell rings,
not because their place of confinement
has the sufficient physical force to make
them,
but because of their willingness
to do so.
A man hungry to know the truth
about,
what-is really-going-on-behind-the-scenes,
ignores this basic fact of life
at his personal expense;
for the voices who routinely
address each man’s mental assembly
are sent directly from, The
Collective Mind’s Speakers Bureau,
and each & every one of
them is undyingly loyal to their employer,
and totally submissive to authority
& their own captivity;
they are not about to say anything
to you that would be in conflict
with their source;
in other words, (Number 27608),
none of the voices you hear
in your head are ever going to say anything that is in opposition to official
prison policy --
...or that might excite a desire
to escape --
much less offer any information that might aid therein.
No, sweet jail bait,
unless you can get in touch
with an obscure area of your brain
that sits on a fault line between
the time zones of, pre verbal I,
and your present vocal-driven
ones,
you will continue to readily
accept your inner imprisonment,
which certainly allows your,
blowing-off-of-steam,
by your periodical pronouncements
of your intention to
"break-outta-this-joint”
-- that’s what all good prisoners say.
It is in fact, part of
official prison policy not only to permit this,
but indeed to encourage it within
specific limits:
the limits being that the prisoner’s
threat is not serious,
and that he is not smart enough
to ever follow up on it anyway.
If there is any hope for you,
you must first recognize clearly
and dispassionately
your instinctive reaction to
be submissive to authority,
but now we move from the area
of physical authority,
to that of mental,
wherein the terminology need
be revised to read:
your instinctive reaction to
be submissive to APPARENT authority,
for in literal fact, in the
strictly mental realm
that is all there strictly is.
Yet learned, sophisticated people
will mentally yield to the
patently ridiculous words of
another human being,
delivered in an authoritative
manner
in an authoritatively constructed
environment,
viz. “Men are not actually dead
when they are dead,”
or, “A vote for my tax plan
will enrich everyone,” or,
“Describe what is troubling
you and I will tell you its cause,” inter alia.
Ordinary men hand over their
thinking capacity to confinement
just as willingly as do actual
prisoners, their bodies to cells;
routine minds readily yield
to displays of apparent authority
as freely as do the convicted
to the judgment of their community.
All who wish to seem
intelligent cry out for freedom,
and insist that they, “do their
own
thinking” --
but they merely reveal themselves
to be fools:
those who make such statements
are never guilty of it.
Men who rail against the tyranny-of-human-stupidity,
and identify it as the suppresser
of all that is potentially
enlightening in man,
are themselves stupid &
immune to enlightenment.
There is no conspiracy, willful
or otherwise,
to hold humanity back --
much less you individually;
there is simply the situation
as above noted:
from the view of an enlightened
mind,
the rest of human thinking is
in prison,
and prison only works with the
cooperation of the imprisoned – so:
-- don’t cooperate,
but the willie-sutton,
smother-me-in-squirrel-fat
subtleness
of it is that
the non cooperation necessary
for escape is not --
resistance to the apparent authority
-- no;
you do not liberate yourself
from the hypnotizing clutches of the
stock broker who continually
churns your account, and sells you
useless shares by arguing with
him,
and professing to have finally
caught on to his little game --
you
quit going to his office.

A father said to a son:
“If there is anything
else to life other than: having fun & trying to stay awake
-- no human being knows what it is.”
(Their family herald is The Star
Of Ingres: two mobius strips
placed one upon the other, with one, allegedly inverted.)
In certain quarters
it used to be commonly quoted that: “Once a day, someone on
this planet -- ‘wakes up’;”
now, (as per one guy’s report), it is more like once every hundred
years.

version of a particular day's News may differ from the original one you
read.)
