Getting
To The Bottom Of It Since 1898

JAN'S:
ONE-A-DAY
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.
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!")
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!")
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.
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."
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.
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.)
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."
