Not
knowing who you are can be a sign of two possibilities:
one: that you do not know who you are,
and two: that you do.
......("Pa pa,
besides nuthin' -- do you know what I like about bits like
that one?")

The
denial of sight is not blindness but staring:
looking
away from what you are doing, and where you are;
looking
away from what you are doing -- even if it be nothing but thinking.
* * *
The
inner reality does exist -- but only internally,
and
the verbal reality actually exists -- but only in words.
.....(Whenever
life chooses to be fair -- it goes all out.)
* * *
If
you think that your body is the source of the difficulties that you believe
keep you from clear sight and satisfying understanding,
your
mind has yet to even identify the starting line for seeing.
(Parenthetic
corollary: people who make such statements as this, are, [one on planet],
confined to kennels.)

D
men see a ten ounce glass with five ounces of liquid as half full,
while
E

and
a man-with-eyes-in-the-back-of-his-back looks -- and ponders

The
artifact most symbolic of man’s post-flood life is: the cell phone.

Most

in
truth are simply sick of being cows.
..."Hey, who wouldn't be?!" said a parrot, pretending to be able to talk.
"Pa pa, I feel that you never fully respond when I ask you:
What is the difference between pretending that you believe something,
and actually believing it."
"Son, anyone who can ask that question will not be able to hear
the comprehensive reply."
Only on planets where life is dear
-- can talk be trifling.

A
P.R. man told a mystic: “If you guys want this, Enlightenment
thing to

For
a long time one man believed that he was looking at himself;
then
he decided he was looking in a mirror;
then
after feeling like he was looking in a mirror for several years,
he
one day decided -- "No" -- that he was looking

Every
man’s philosophy-of-life
