RE: THE NEWS
Every day is just the same
to a day,
and every same is different
& the same to the same old thinking;
a stagnant stream finds each
morning’s light dull & boring,
while a fresh flowing one creates
its own excitement & enlightenment.
What you ate & how you laid,
makes your brain bright one day,
and cloudy the next,
and what you eat & how you
move are on a menu writ in genes;
there is no escaping the inescapable,
and no outwitting yourself --
until you realize for yourself
what self
truly isn’t.
Every day the self is the same
to itself,
and every day the illusion of
self is not;
man the species is born to change,
and to facilitate same,
he is given a sensation of himself
that is permanently fixed,
thus he has the taste for the
new, but only in non essential matters;
he is driven to change his wardrobe,
but not his skin;
rearrange his hair, but not
his thoughts;
keep up with each new day’s
news,
but only the stories that reinforce
yesterday’s.
Of the world’s readership,
there are a few who are weary
of the redundancy,
yet they continue to read with
ears always ringing from yesterday’s buffet, posture, and passive submission
to genetic gods.
The news is never news when it
is translated by
your own brain’s tongue for
consumption by your own brain’s ears;
when you listen to the thoughts
in your head report
the news about life,
you are not hearing true stories
about life, but rather,
fabricated tales thoughts unwittingly
tell about thoughts.
So – there it is: all the news
you ever need to know –
being reported constantly, right
there, inside your own head;
you just have to realize what
kind
of stories it is that you hear
being reported;
fiction has its place, but mistaking
it for fact -- particularly when
it concerns what a man calls,
himself -- is quite devastating
for one in search of sunshine
& the truth about things.

TODAY'S NEWS: OF A PARTICULAR TYPE
Live-and-learn
equals: new-habitual-behavior.
Until something is habit, you
haven’t, learned it; you do not fully know it,
and when something is habit,
it is no longer reasonable to
speak of it in terms of, “knowing it” -- So:
there you are, My Mental Czar.

There is one form of reality
that never has any news to report –
-- and a few people are
a part of it.
***
One guy pondered: “If,
as I have previously concluded:
‘Now
is not forever’ -- is forever now?”
***
Fashion News: One man
always wore a coordinated outfit:
his mind matching his thoughts.
Question: Why don’t
mystic pretenders go out in the rain?
Cause they’d shrink…..…leastwise one part of them would.
Super Insider’s Beauty
Tip: Even ogres, (who never see themselves),
aren't concerned how they look.......to
others.
***
One way to gauge whether you
are the right person for this job
is if you can have almost as
much fun above your jaw as you can
below your gullet…….and, alone
-- at that!
***
One man found a, special message
that someone left for him:
…well, not actually left by
some one -- but!,
a, special message just
the same -- and -- just for him.
Concerning:
Value:
Everyone’s
thoughts are worth just as much everyone else’s.
Tomorrow’s
topic will be: “Bargains Are Everywhere!”
How do you diagnose a man who
is, a bottomless well? –
you say that he, has thoughts.
(Most people’s wells are pretty
well filled up with
their own resistance & other
people’s garbage).
***
All rituals ultimately distract
from the goal for
which their practice was initially
conceived to achieve.
***
Definition:
The Past: A synonym for non-physical indigestion.
The
Future: Heartburn -- prepaid.
In
the poorer parts of the universe, time has no middle stage.
(Realizing
this will explain a lot of lost stuff.)
***
Bunions & Blisters:
If you do not dance with the
thoughts that show up in your ballroom, they cannot step on your feet.
Construction & Constrictions:
The wily foreman always yells
to the crane operator:
”A little higher,” always,
“Bring it up a little bit higher --
and try to swing that girder
around so it bumps into itself.”
Even the most foolish of network
thoughts
never realize their own foolishness
as long as
their local affiliate never
inquires into the legitimacy of thought.
Mere questioning of particular
stories’ contents will not do --
it is the character of the thoughts
-- the reporters of the stories --
which must be looked into,
a task that few individually
owned stations are equipped to handle.
…the few who are however, miss
a shot at broadcast history by not
pursuing this most fascinating
story.

A real man IS
his own news.
