                                          NEWS,
  NOMINALLY FROM THE ORB YOU NORMALLY OCCUPY
                                          _______________
 
 
 
 
 

Mind sees no role models as does the body in athletes;
(more precisely): potentially real minds see no role models,
for those minds which have previously achieved real minds’ goal do not of it afterwards speak;
thus each newly born latent real mind is ultimately --  on its own.
(There is but one possible downside to this situation: not realizing it.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man discovered that he could stop strange noises he would hear
in his house at night just by listening very intently.
(He later realized another use for the technique,
[though not involving a residential structure]).

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

It is possible to see what is going on,
but difficult to see why you should not put it in words;
when you do  --   a portion of your sight flees.


 
















The father said to the son: “You would expect that a man with a
growing grasp of unadorned reality would at least privately chuckle
at tales of unsophisticated travelers stopping to pile stones
at the end of a bridge they just crossed in an attempt to keep evil forces from following them,
but in truth, such is an example of an extremely cheap way by which ordinary men can feel that they have at least tried to physically,
‘do-something’ that  could  improve their position in life,
at no expense and very little effort.
   Another instance of something that is ridiculous & useless --  and also,
  ridiculous & a bargain.
    Life my boy, is composed of: tiger claws & angel hair;
    both are requisite & those-in-the-know can interchange them.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There are winds that blow through the head and create mind;
you can close the windows & open the doors,
or knock down the walls & rip off the roof,
but still will the winds that cause mind, blow.
Men are awash in an ocean of croissants, yet they cry out for biscuits.
      Bust the mold  --  ask for a bismark..................or perhaps a lusitania.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

On one world: state of mind = state of metabolism.
..................(Thank god we don't live there, huh?!
......But it could be even worse; theatres on an ajoining planet show
       previews of past attractions that are produced by the pancreas!)
 
 









A man’s friend said to him: “The reason you don’t enjoy movies is that
you will not, ‘suspend belief,'” to which he replied:
“Hell, I have to do that most of the time that I’m looking at reality."


 
















There are three great curses: not knowing; not knowing what it is that you do not know, and third: thinking that you do know.
(There is an even worse, fourth curse which afflicts those who
dispute the first three................... [and who live with idiots].)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One approach to doin’TheThing is to say to yourself continually,
“I’m doin’TheThing” without thinking about it further.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Any, I-have-a-reasonably-good-grip-on-reality person is beyond hallucinating in their own life, (seeing the ghost of Goethe living
in their potting shed), but it is much rarer to not hallucinate in
other people’s lives (viz: believing that their ideas are hallucinations: illusions rather than reality).


 

















Love and likes&dislikes are two different things;
one is hormonal; one is neural;
one accomplishes something  --   the other does not.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The son said to the father: “The way you keep changing the terminology & shifting ideas around about doin’TheThing,
I have trouble getting a permanent fix on what you’re saying,”  --
“Well done!” he roared!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Anyone who offers to tell you what is wrong with you
has as much wrong with them as you do  --  plus 27%.


 
















One guy says: “Forget about crop circles & faces on Mars;
what could be weirder than being alive & able to think about it!”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There is a thing you can do with attention
that makes ordinary attention seem like a dazed slurpee  --
a drunken garbage truck.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man says that he would feel a whole lot better
if the older brain stem parts didn’t stick so far up into his head.


 

















Everyone who wants to awaken is an unwitting spy for
an unknown agency   --  (even the agency doesn’t know who it is).
 
 








Anyone who, talks-about-it --   doesn’t know about it.



 
 
 
 
 
 

One man asks:
“Where did our brain get its monopoly on calling it self, our self?”


 
















Everyone hears intriguing music, playing faintly in the background,
but unless you focus on it and try to amplify it,
it does not become a notable part of your life.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Dialogue # 335:
“There’s something going on inside the Orion Nebula
that we don’t know about.”
   “Hell, there’s something going on in my head that I don’t know about.”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

       If you laugh all the time, you can’t sleep.


 














The son said to the father: “Why do most people not like what you say?  Is it because you are right and they are wrong?”
    “No,” he replied, “Quite the opposite."
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

                             If you watch all the time, you can’t be blind.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There is a way to think about thinking that gives ordinary thinking the jumpin’ heebie jeebies --  and profitably so!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Any system teaching enlightenment,
that takes its approach seriously,
is nothing but an amusement.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Most people are too normal to ever see what is going on, and most of those who want to see are not normal enough to ever do so.


 
















                                 If you stare  --  you never see bare.
                                 .......(Everything looks all dolled up.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There is little difference between being crazy & being awake,
but even less  between being crazy & being ordinary.
 
 









Trying to act on matters in the second reality
requires that ye be partially mad;
thinking about it, at most, sufficeth the wise.

  Fate may irritate the dreamer-thinker,
but will not torture him
unless he attempts to take action on the apparitions.


 









                                Life knows what’s going on  --  you don’t.

                                      The world is full of stories  --  you're one of them.
