                 THE WEEKEND: PART 2:
                        WHEREIN PART ONE IS
                      TRACKED & REFRESHED

The original purpose of Myths was to form a link between
two types of activities in man's life:
those which accomplish something and those which mean something;
the ordinary eventually took myths, too much as history,
while the few, (in their childhood), take them too seriously.

Sincerity without understanding produces nothing of note.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Thought alone makes the distinction between that which will feed you,
and an illustrated cookbook:
thought alone fails to make the distinction between fucking,
and pictures of fucking;
                   thus has mythology fallen into the hands of pornographers.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Being unenlightened is being so intelligent that you believe that,
Waking up is more meaningful than a screwdriver.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Nature accomplishes things,
but only thinking about it means anything.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

On one planet was a man who wanted to stand on one foot
long enough to count to a million  --   and even though he never did,
the question is: if he had, would it have:
(A): accomplished something --  or (B): meant something?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Wakin’ up is still a lot like a good ass whuppin’.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

No man knows for sure what is really going on
who will tell you what he believes is.

Those who believe that what they say about awakening has meaning,
have not accomplished it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Man’s routine state of consciousness may exist in one dimension,
and his desire for another one, in another one.
If two wrestlers never met
it would explain why one of them was never able to pin the other.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Wanting to wake up is wanting more from thought than it has to give.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There once was an actual difference between:
going-to-pieces, and: pulling-yourself-together;
but then men left The Garden Of Accomplishment,
and The Great Flood Of Meaning swamped the planet.

Men accustomed to living underwater have a most difficult time
understanding such a situation when they hear it talked about
over their little shortwavers.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When your wake-up-knowledge comes exclusively from others,
the all enlightening distinction between:
something that accomplishes something, and
something that merely means something (to you)
gets fatally blurred.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The life you live accomplishes what it was supposed to,
but you can be fooled into thinking it did not mean what it should.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

                Dreams can only damage the realm of meaning,
               same as dreaming creates the illusion of meaning.
