You distract yourself from reality when you say that you think about something;
thoughts are not packets that hold some ideas;
thoughts are, in themselves, whole & complete entities;
they are container and content.

Three dimension city travel is not about, getting-somewhere  --  it is about going:
 thinking is not about some thing  --  thinking is about thoughts.
 
 

Ordinary people cannot possibly be as mentally turgid as they appear;
thus the need to introduce the idea of them all just, pretending --
--  so that it makes some kind of sense.
 
 

One guy’s sentiment:
“We would be better off if men who publicly deliver bombastic exhortations
would privately get bombed and keep the exhortations to themselves.”
 
 

Those who worry about the end of the world have yet to see its beginning.
 
 

The son asked the father:
“If I paid no attention to what other people say,
would that alone cause me to awaken?”
     “Well, you would certainly cease to doze as you do now.”
 
 

At any given moment, men take their state of mind too seriously --
which is understandable, in that,
it is the only state of mind they have at any given moment.

  Fact: any-given-moment is every given moment:
           waste now  --   and you have squandered it all.
 
 

The normal brain has a hundred & ten acres planted in worry,
and two reserved for an accurate survey of the property.
.........(Psst!  Most people’s go unused.)
 
 

When you clearly (though surely, privately!)
do not understand what is going on in the life-thing
the most efficient face saving maneuver available is to piss on other people’s feet,
and hope some splatters on their ideas as well.

(In yearbook photos from asylums, you will come off looking a wee bit better if, behind everyone else’s backs, you are pointing an accusatory finger at them.)

                Those who say criticism serves no purpose are stupid idiots!
 
 

There is an endless struggle going on between
the brain’s conscious & non conscious operations --
--  except the latter are not actually struggling  --  just the former.
 
 

All major powers are stressed by internal conflicts;
all such, “major powers” (sweety)  --   are idiot nations,
and fit for photo opps only with other peacock pretenders.

Fact: No imbecile is at any disadvantage who recognizes himself, fair & square.
 
 

There are no secondary reality solutions to first reality problems,
but of course there are second reality solutions to problems that occur
in the second reality.

…….........so you buy that?…..….didn’t realize that you were a major power.
 
 

The father said to the son: “What do you make of this one:
asphyxiated aficionados of, ‘Serious-Music’ will vehemently denounce
the popularization of one part of a symphony,
(and fans of, haute littèrature, selected quotes from a major opus)
and eventually will have the composer or author agreeing with the view;
but what (in real life) is actually going on with some men’s insistence that
you must sit through an hour’s worth of music/reading/other-activity
that does not interest you,
before you are allowed to enjoy brief moments of it that does?

What sort of big city voo doo is being worked on an artist that will cause him
to support such a position to his own disadvantage,
in that by so doing he is trying to suppress the possibility that
at least some portion of his creative output will become popular,
a posture that is totally foreign to the creative process
in that popular appreciation of a second reality creation is its sole purpose?

Under sane circumstances: when a, man-plays-artist, (that is):
he produces something that came solely from within him  --
popularity, (having an audience there for)  -- is the sole measure of success --        so: what on earth be-eth going-eth on-eth, my boy?

  ….and don’t forget to work this whole question into the
  apparent creative processes going on in your own head.”
 
 

One man says he is particularly peeved --  and jealous of –
a duck’s ability to put one hemisphere of its brain to sleep,
while the other one stays awake and watches
through the eye on its side of the fowl’s head.

      ”Peeved!”  he says, “But mostly --  jealous.”

Some thing  you might keep in mind:
Someone can know more than you do about automobiles or architecture,
but no one knows more about life than you do,
for even if someone does  --  and they try to tell you about it,
from their words you can only understand what you understand;
thus everyone is ultimately on their own in this.

Someone who knows what is going on while you do not, realizes it  --
you do not necessarily do so,
but if you find someone who you perceive knows more than you, and you trust them,
then listen to their words while knowing, as they do,
that you must do the actual comprehending of life for yourself.

This can sound discouraging to the turgid, but it is in truth
the supreme shortcut, good news and time saver.
 
                                              All understanding is home grown.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

...(and as has been noted here before:
anyone who tells you what is wrong about you & life does not understand anything.)
