Today’s news is an extension of the main story covered on August 10, 11, 12, 14 & 15,
and while everything reported on at this site is part of an endless continuum,
(same as your life),
at times, a specific topic (whether immediately apparent to you or not)
ties the stories of different days more closely together than at others.

What is said here from day to day can strike a man’s mind as disjointed,
but so too are the episodes from moment to moment in your own life --  
--  as it is perceived & commented-on by your mind.

There is a continuity to life (even to the  universe) that is beyond question,
it is just generally beyond your  --  paying-attention-to-it.

The body  lives this continuity,
while a man’s thoughts (whether you have noticed it or not)
being by nature  –  fragmented  --  see life as being likewise:
fragmented, disjointed, irrational, unpredictable & unreliable,
but try selling that story to your digestive, circulatory, 
muscular, or endocrine systems;
continuity is the essence of their world;
cause & effect could not be closer together,
it is only in physical illness and the thought producing areas
of the brain that men experience any sensation of interruption to
life as an endless flowing, coherent whole.
 
Thought, by being able to conceive of the whole in pieces,
is thereby able to figure out ways to alter it to man’s advantage,
but it also (in a few) strikes a sour note that they find most difficult to precisely pinpoint.
Proffered schematics of the situation thus superficially seem as fragmented as  
the very situation they attempted to portray.         But alas  --  such is the plight of man.
Life gives him thought to make his time here more comfortable,
and then, damn’f a few people don’t up and complain about it.
(But you’re left with the fact that it is still life that makes the few feel this way  --   so: who are you going to blame?!  [if you’re still playing that children’s game]).
 
 

                                                   There are a number of  things
                                                   going on in the brain
                                                   to which no one attention pays --

and one of them in particular has been the true topic of these daily writings 
for the dates noted,
and in that they may have seemed even more vague & indirect 
than some of you may believe is the norm here,
the following stories are further verbal hints, nudges, winks & finger-pointings
directly pertinent to that certain unstated situation in your brain which,
when realized for yourself, 
will take you off that black & white Kansas farm forever.

It would do you no good to hear the real subject of all this put into plain words;
it could be presented in a short sentence that would be
a reasonable reflection of its reality,
but discovering it for yourself is the only way that it will ever mean anything to you;
hearing it now in direct language would only distract & confuse you:
you would certainly understand  literally what the sentence said,
but it would not awaken you  --   you have to do that.

So: if you have not read the dates noted above,
or have forgotten their gist,
it would be good to first re read them in order & then go to the below.
Remember: there is a very specific --  something to these six days worth of words;
a quite significant something that goes on continually in the 
consciousness of your brain --  a certain, relationship --
the realization of which will settle every matter that inherently disturbs the few.

It’s right in there --  just behind all of the smoke, metaphors & mirrors,
(whose existence you may blame on these writings,
but look to the thoughts passing through your head, and passing such judgments,
and you will do yourself much more good.)

There is a kingdom ruled by two princes;
from outside observation: they both appear to have power;
only one has Actual power to get things done;
the other has a non-actual power which, when exercised,
creates in on lookers the illusion of actual power in action;
the illusion is in fact so marvelous that the prince employing it is also fooled by it.

Do not let a simple fable like this cause you to stumble & fall in a ditch;
both princes have power, but their powers are not of the same breed;
one is actual and one is non actual,
and the dark energy between them that makes their individual existence visible
is the relationship mentioned above that answers & settles everything.
