Well now -- let's have a look at you:
Everyone
knows that something is going on besides what is seen,
and
everyone says you either cannot know what it is,
or
else to do so requires some supernatural ability -- no, no:
everyone
knows that something is going on besides what is seen,
and
everyone’s brain naturally knows what it is,
but
everyone’s brain is arranged to be unable to say directly what it
is --
which
is why men have so many words:
they
arise from all of the talking-around-the-bush about what it is.
Even
if a man is born with that minor brain quirk that exempts him from this
prohibition and he can directly say what is that is going on besides
what is seen,
no
one else can hear it directly,
so
speaking of it willfully indirectly is only the reasonable possibility,
and
even this is no really Big Deal -- inasmuch as life all around you is already
constantly revealing -- indirectly – what it is that is going on
besides
what is seen, thought & talked about by ordinary men.
You
just relax here on the exam table and look through this newsmagazine
while
your lab work is being completed;
the
nurse will let you know when it is time to come clean.
When
men cannot describe why something happened
they
will describe how it happened -- ergo their invention
of history;
men
like their wise men dead -- ‘cause they can’t argue with you
--
ergo
their invention of ancient awakened masters.
The World’s Foremost Explanation: “Well, I’m the kind of person who......”
A
phrase that if, it doesn’t say it all, sure says a lot: “If something didn’t
get broken,
how
do you know it was a party?...........or that you woke up?”
Men who feel the need to define their self are not worth being defined.
Obviously
striving to sound insightful some have said:
“For
every problem, nature has a solution” –
where
do they think the problems come from.
What
can be & is known cannot touch what can be,
and
what can be cannot approach what is.
The
human brain knows everything that can be known --
but
only the mind realizes this ---
which
puts it in the, Phew!
category.
Anyone
who wants to tell you of the hardships they have over come in their life
has
not lived a life worth telling about.
Whenever
criticized and asked why he did not change,
one
man would always offer the same three word response: “Do the math.”
What
“I” cannot handle is the fact that it is nothing but its thoughts of itself.
Well
how would you like to be in such a fix?!
One
guy says: “There are only two possibilities:
serious
people are either idiots or they are putting us on;
it
must be one or the other.
There
are only two possibilities:
people
who are awake are either idiots, or they are putting us on.
There
are only two possibilities:
people
who are asleep are either idiots, or they are putting us on.
There
are only two possibilities:
people
who try to tell us something are either idiots,
or
we are putting them on by pretending to listen to them?"
A
man well known for his knowledge of ChasingTheThing,
was asked,
of
all the famous teachers he had met, from who he had learned the most, and
without
hesitation he replied: “The one who,
when
I told him why I had come to see him,
slammed
the door in my face.”
To say that you are attracted to a person for non physical reasons is as ridiculous as saying you are attracted to certain ideas for non physical reasons.
No popular thinker was ever unusually ugly.
Laughter is seldom provoked without blood being shed.
“So
-- how can you tell that a real party actually took
place if there was no breakage?” --
“And don’t forget about waking-up, also.”
The nurse says things are ready for you now.

In
addition to his
words
appearing here daily, every
other daily do
Jan's notations regarding ThatCertainMatter
come
from his mouth, sounds which are available
to
interested ears over the internet by subscription.
(And his many fans might
be interested to know that he maintains his challenging schedule of writing,
speaking and competition running
despite the fact that he
is now blind, mute and legless.)
Forget the warning of a sucker being
born every minute -- there's a new one bein' begot every
second -- and guess where.
