               THE DULCET DUO GET SUNDAY WRAPPED
                     ____________________________
 
 
 
 
 
 

Although no one can see it in the beginning,
the main thing wrong with being asleep & unenlightened is
the belief that something wrong is going on.

Imaginary problems not only cannot be solved,
but not recognizing them for what they are
keeps you believing in what they are not.
 
 

  Many pretend to be treating pretend ills  --   but none ever succeed.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Consciousness is water   ---    there are sharks:
many get entangled in trying to classify sharks
as to their perceived quality, or threat  -- when fact is,
                           to water  --   sharks are sharks.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

That which is real, is to body  --  obvious,
while that which is, is to mind  --  suspect...............if not offensive.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One guy’s theory is that no one is asleep  --   they just pretend to be.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

To stop pretending is to run all beastees from your door,
                       and scatter all spooks, ghostees & ghoulees.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

                         It is now official:  Nothing is official.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Looking after your body but not your mind is like having comfortable shoes and wearing sheet metal socks.

Looking after your mind but not your body is like working at McDonald’s.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Oh yeah, it is also official that: Nothing is wrong!
(but the local authorities are afraid to announce it
                              due to the panic it might cause.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Only body can concentrate……………….or make mind do so.
No matter your talent or desire; you can’t paint ebony black --
oh, it can seem as though you have done so  --  even if it doesn’t show --
in the same way it can seem you are trying to wake-up
without ever seeing any results.
The question is:
How can you tell when you graduated from a course in Stupidity?
Or: where does the empty half of a half filled bottle believe it is?
Or: who does a critic condemn who lives alone;
who, (even), can a one eyed critic even see?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A civilian asks:
“If I am starving, is not something wrong for me?” --  yes;
“And if I am freezing, is not something wrong in my life?” -–  certainly;
“Then how can you say that nothing is wrong in life?” --
note that I did say so before you started talking about it.

     Body silently registers all real wrongs;
     mind only pretends to…........and when it has none --  invents them.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Generally, talking about something is not an attempt to explain it,
but to make it seem more important.
Consider what this means regarding things that exist only by virtue of
them being talked about in the first place, (to wit),
most of what fills up most people’s lives.                                     (Yikes!)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

                                                        To stop pretending is to stop the clock.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Silence, both inside the castle & out   --   is the knight’s secret pavis.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

After life itself, there is nothing more truthful than the body,
and after that, there is nothing more truthful than the mind,
and after that, there is nothing more truthful than an individual man’s
own individual mind, (i.e.)   --   unified consciousness.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In the world are thinkers & doers...................................and I don’t mean groups of people.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Additional trickiness is in the fact that when you are in the mental state of, wanting-to-wake-up, it is like having a sickness with pains & symptoms, but when you are actually in the state called, sleep,
nothing tells you that you are sick & asleep.
Thus, when not asleep --  you suffer,
and when you are --  you feel nothing.                  Slick, huh?!
It is the only illness that doesn’t make you feel ill
as long as you remain ill.                            (Slick doesn't begin to cover it.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Another guy says:
“To stop pretending is to totally ruin  --   being asleep!"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Although it does not matter what you think,
it also does not matter what you think about what you think.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One guy’s motto is: “Just wait’ll I get my hands on you” --
which scares the shit out of him  --  you know,
having  your own motto speak to you like that!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One guy's take on it:
"Waking-up does not so much produce a change in your relationship to life as it does your relationship to yourself --   that is: to your brain --
which is to say: your brain’s relationship to itself --  hell,
                                           something like that!"

...and don't forget, news hounds: if it can't be affected by a screwdriver --  it's just storytelling,
(and I don't mean the kind you drink.....................which would certainly influence your tales.)
