                    "ONE-A-DAY WHAT  ?!"
         DON'T BE CUTE

Men on ordinary mental horseback say:
"Travel is not possible  --  if you do not know where you are going" --
which is true enough  --   for them,
but not for a consciousness really on the roam, (and, even if unknowingly) --
                                                zeroed in on home.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man would wake up every morning in bed with the same person --
the same damn person every friggin' day  --   can you believe that?!
...(Jeeze! -- 's'nuff to bring tears to your eyes.)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Is not merely a maxim  --  'tis testifiably true:
there is nothing man can think of that money will not buy,
and equally so: nothing that understanding will not explain  --
                                   --  naught that knowing will not answer.
                                                                           ...("Wow! --  that didn't hurt a bit!")
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Old questions are the popular questions; old questions are the useless questions;
creativity never looks back  --
has no interested or critical eye/I for what has already been.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man had a map --  but with several areas missing --
but was difficult to thus realize --
since his mind was a projection of the map......or maybe it was the other way around....
...but no matter ---  makes no difference to the story one way or the other.
("Is the mind great, or what!"  --   "Either that or the act of story telling itself."   --
 "Ah --  you had to go and ruin it!")
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Always remember: whatever the trouble is  --  humans caused it.
  (Also don’t forget: anything that causes something else to do something
   will [from the human view]  start a vicious cycle.)

 
 
 
 
 

If you cannot recognize the difference between you actively and individually thinking
and what normally goes on automatically and constantly in your head,
you will never even get near the bottom of what is going on.

A boy asked a father:
"Is there more bad-news about the body, or about the mind?"
     "Where do you hurt the worst: in your body or in your head?" --
                                                                   and the lad got the point.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Says one man: “I am not afraid to ask the hard questions  --
 since I am the one who makes up the answers.”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A secret, side benefit of achieving enlightenment is that
it makes you sexually irresistible, and increases your income. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man had a row boat and two oars,
but found he could function using just one;
one man had a row boat and two oars,
and found he could function nicely using them both;
a few men  --  born to sail  --  go far beyond the two-oar-stage.

When told he can partake of a pile of goodies a child will take a handful --
then another --  and then another until an adult says: "Hey --  that's enough"
at which moment the kid will say: "I was about to stop anyway."

Sail away.









A sure way to determine how much you understand:
if you still have a hero  --   you still don’t get it.
(Also a sure giveaway that you are still in the dark is if there is someone special
you would like to meet.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Anyone who will try to explain why they like a particular thing (music, art, sexual partners) does not like the thing as much as they could.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Okay, here 'tis:  the alternative to simply being pleasant-&-insincere
is to be: totally charming & completely non committal.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Anyone who feels the need to talk about their self
does not feel right about their self (they do not think they are in possession of their proper self.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

It’s not that everything is not out in the open  --
it’s that your eyes/I’s are normally set too far back in your head  --
mind is too anchored to its concept of a “you”.

Fact: Everyone lives in the largest space they can manage.

Fact: Gravity works with you when it wants something!  --  otherwise  –  forget it!

Hint: Stand right behind your eyes.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Even though mentally he is a total rebel,
one of the most useful things a man-on-the-search can do is  --  act normally. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

What the mind does recreationally are just extensions and variations of
the things it does seriously.
(Being entertained is just survival extended for another day.)


 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Oh, and yet another way to not only know, but also to  show that you are
normal and safe is to mention how intelligent you are whenever there is
the merest opportunity.
 
 






A father gave a son this definition:
"Tradition: That which holds an ordinary man together."
     "Then what holds the likes of us together?"
"Damn good question, my boy  --  damn good."
