You cannot really think until you no longer have any interest in what other people think,
and you cannot not have any interest in what other people think until you no longer have any interest in what you think.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Look, there are two facets to the thing: one is: pay no attention to passing cars,
two is: don’t go with your dog when he chases them, and three:
he will always chase them, so four is obvious, huh?!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

To be ordinary and happy is to be fed, sheltered, and to
take the fairy tales that please you, seriously;
to be awake to what is going on is to be fed, sheltered, and to
recognize fairy tales for what they are.

Whatever a person says is real and important to them is real and important,
and nothing anyone else can say (or necessarily should say) can change it,
but taking anything intangible as being real or important is, for the few,
the very definition of; being-asleep-&-in-de-dark.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Many say: “Life is whatever you want it to be” without going into the matter of how
'you' came to want your life to be however you say you want it to be.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The not-too-bright seem to believe that delivering bad news makes them seem
more intelligent,
(this, the main accounting for gossip’s popularity amongst the ordinary).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Unless you have something to do in life that gives you full pleasure --  including mental --  and you are not doing it, your thoughts will always be on something that they consider more important and pleasurable than whatever you are doing at the moment,  (thus is: living-in-a-dream clearly described.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Deeds can beget words, and deeds can beget deeds
and words can beget deeds, and words can beget words, and you ask:
“Is there no way out of this?” --  yes  --   when neither begats either.

       An empty house cannot be haunted  --   nor an open man recycled.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Don’t waste your time doing the things other people do;
if you truly want to get-to-the-bottom-of-things you must eventually adopt a strategy that includes not wasting your time doing most of the things
ordinary people commonly do;
not that what they do is wrong, but slithering is natural to worms, flying to eagles, etc.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The less talent it takes to do what you do
the more concerned you will be about whether those paying attention to you appreciate your talent as much as you want them to.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Even if the entire horde of your fellow locusts eat wheat
that does not mean it is what is best for you individually  --
and it is not conclusive evidence that that is all there is to eat.
 
 

If you understand how an elephant can be insulted by a flea
then you appreciate what an insult be.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The human mind is the only thing in the universe that can withhold & fail,
yet give & succeed.
(Grasp that one and you will have your hands on it all.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Re Post-Seats: To ever see what is going on you must get yourself out of the way.

   A Trick: If you show no interest in yourself personally,
                  no one else will either (a real time saver that.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man has a sign hung on his head:
“This structure not only houses three thousand years of human history,
                                  but is open to the public for tours, five days a week.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Other than for practical application to matters external --
memory serves no purpose..................(‘cept to keep a good man snoozin’).
 
 

One man said: “I eat whatever foods I like and let ‘em fight it out in my stomach”
and upon hearing this, another chap cut his eyes upward,
and pondered the same situation  --  but concerning his mind rather than stomach.
 
 

And a final man says: “There are only two ideas worth living by, one is: 'Don't panic,'
                                         and the other is    --   ‘Panic!’”
