A ROUND UP & SEVERE BEATING OF THE WEEK'S NEWS
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________






In a struggle between hunger and thought
it is always a case of: stuffed or starved.

And now today’s single,  test question:
When you get a stomach ache do you:
blame food,  --  hunger  --  or your eating?

What bothers the certain man cannot be cured;
all he can do is understand it;
he can never stop it  --  only understand what it is, which (as it turns out) --
proves to be all the relief he needs.

No method, tool, trick or procedure to change your consciousness
is generally useful for more than four or five hours;
after that you begin running off of the memory of the excitement you felt
upon first discovering it.
 
 
 
 

The Everyman’s Request:
“Play me that song just one more time.” --
     “Really? --  just one more time?”
“Yeah, ‘one more’ like in a kazillion more.”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Nothing is as exhilarating as bad news about yourself...... (if you’re the right kinda person).

The way that non technical thoughts survive
is by men acquiescing to their pretensions of some importance.

Joke Of The Day: One man says: “When I hear someone speak of some matter
which they say is a serious threat to life  --   I do not think it is funny.”
..............................(No, you didn't misread: that is the Joke Of The Day all right.)
 
 



- - -







The only thing dumber, less meaningful and more ridiculous than
people analyzing, criticizing and predicting other men’s behavior
is doing so concerning their thinking.
 
 



- - -







For ordinary minds, being around other people  --  especially if conversing --
makes time seem to move faster.
(Routine people appear to have a real liking for this.)

The most  important contribution anyone can make to their own mental health is to  stop making themselves sick by listening to what their mental has to say.
 
 
 

Before taking seriously anything that comes from your mind --
always check first with Your-people.

One man had a brain tumor --  “Better that,” he says, “Than no brain at all.”
 

Even though one man can say: “I may be talkin’ --  but I ain’t listenin’” –
only a real man can prove he’s not.

Only the crudest sort would speak of the “brain”
when he could just as easily say, “mind”.
                          ........(or else a true friend.)
 
 

If YOU have nothing to do  --  YOU should do nothing.
 

(The YOU that people mean by the word [don't forget], is not your body; it exists solely in your thought.)

How Mind Works, 2,006  (as exemplified in civilian headlines):

“Eight Killed In Apartment Fire:
Millions More Living Contiguously Barely Escape Death.”



 
 
 

There is:
the beating of the heart,
the beating of the lungs,
and the beating of the brain.

 
 
 

People who talk aloud to themselves are unwittingly on to something
that the certain man could profitably employ.
 
 
 
 

Re The Investigation:
Inasmuch as you cannot be looking and thinking at the same time,
and since if you are thinking  --  there is no YOU,
why bother to even pretend that YOU are really trying to see.

 
 
 
 
 
 

The two best things you can hear are: things that invigorate you,
and things that rub you the wrong way.
 
 

Any thought that is about you is going no where.

Fact Of The Day: Someone who spooks ordinary people understands nothing.
(P.S. spooky people are annoyed to hear this said.    Shhhh!)

One man says:
“I have better things to do than waste my time on my thoughts!     I MUST have!”
 
 
 
 

What kind of headway is being made
when the bullets you now manage to dodge
you perceive were self shot in the first place?

 
 
 
 

Definition Of The Day: Meditation:
                    Coward’s attempt to fly.
 
 



On one planet, if thought is not fun  --  you are not thought to be doing it right.

“Dad, are you the only person in the world who knows what is going on?”
     “I could be, but remember: there is always a second possibility to everything:

I could be the only person who doesn’t.”






Quote Of The Day: “Although I am neither a sub atomic physicist, nor a cosmologist,
I know enough about them (and other things) to realize this:
there is nothing in this entire universe as strange as me standing here saying this,
and being aware that I have just done so.”
 
 



“Pa pa, be honest: have you told me everything you know?”

                                   “Not out loud.”
                        “Will you ever?”
                                    “No.”

“What is the funniest thing you have ever been asked?”
      “‘How do you want to be remembered?’”
