THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING IS THE QUESTION TO NOTHING:
TODAY WE TAKE UP THE NOTHING
________________________







Though he considers what he has done in achieving the realization
to be the only worthwhile thing he has ever done,
the certain man is not proud of what he has done;
activity that you can be proud or not proud of having done
was activity you had to do and was thus no reflection of you anyway;
the certain man acts only when there is no alternative to acting --
but he does not fool himself thereabout.
    One man used parentheses when he was unsure what to say –
    same as he used acting when he was unsure what to do,
    and thought when his mind was at an impasse.
Concedars one chopper: “Being too clever by half
                                              was part of my basic gaffe.”

No one recognizes intelligence  --   but everyone, pustidity.
Why save your assumed, best-side for a future day –
it's cattle call now, and scaramouch is always being cast.
           Admits one usher: “My biting wit long tickled me
                                               'til what humor hides I could see."
    The certain man’s stage-hero & thespian role model is: the cement block.
Words that rhyme have a secret metaphorical connection even if they do not realize it,
but if words knew what they were talking about they wouldn’t need men to say them for them.
And one man muses: “Sentences try as hard to please
                                        as a greased-up barrel on its knees.”
To try to explain the realization you can use explicitness, or vagueness,
but whatever is tried results in fragmenting the apple
                           (and remember what that did to adam).
Commenting on another man’s comments is the outstanding effort to
bronze Zephyrus’ baby shoes.
                                                  Dunces idolize gods;
                                                  too hip dunces, men;
                                                  too dunce dunces, themselves.
    A man impressed with himself could not (to the realized mind)be  less impressive.
While not ashamed of his neural lineage, one man thought:
        "I do not want to be known as a ‘chip-off-the-old-block’.”
One man always wanted to look-good --
always wanted to smell-good --
some people even say they want to be good;
                                                   hogs gotta swim,
                                                   skunks gotta fly,
                                                   the certain man's wants won't
                                                   fit in his I -- (as in: "I want").
All thought about thought-only things will rebound on you;
booting the kicker for a touchback;
ergo the certain man (singular thinker though he be) stops thinking as soon as possible
                                                                               (at least ceases to follow through on his thought-kicks.)
A dog mindlessly barking loses no barks,
while a certain man’s brain mindlessly thinking puts him to a distinct deficient,
                                               (of what, only he can tell).
One man saw a cake he did not want to cut;
"Too beautiful?" he was asked: "No" he replied;
"Then, what?"  he was asked: "I do not know" he replied,
all he knew was that he did not want to cut the cake.
    "No comment" said in the strictly private realm
     is the only comment worthy a real man's mind.
The unsung song is greater than any song ever heard.
It takes muscle to DoTheThing; first, understanding of what must be done
(almost impossible to absorb) then pure, brute muscle and concentration to do it.
    Closing your eyes/I's causes weakness in muscles.
                           Not a pretty metaphysical sight  --  but the actual one.
The only worthwhile writing regarding DoingTheThing
are unlabeled histories of one man's journey;
all others are in truth, substitutes for travel.
Defining yourself makes you blurry --
not more distinct and individual, but less  --
more of just brain-waves and less of a ME.
Everything bad that happens to man outside genetic illness
comes about through lack of exertion,
and all lack of exertion is due to lack of attention,
and all lack of attention is genetically determined,
thus the certain man’s chances are about a wolf's of winning a song competition.
Through normal intelligence & thought are normal men born,
and by achieving the realization of what thought is
                                    does the certain man live again
                                    directly connected to mother’s womb.
“Go back where you came from!”
     “I do not know where that would be.”
“Try any way.”
      “But I do not even know how to try.”
“If you would but remember that you would be well on your way.”
Regarding: The Wealth Of Debtor & Doubtful Nations:
The more you have  --   the greater your bewilderment.
                          Fair’s fair  --   even when ‘tis not just.
“You’re in over your head, Susannah  --  just you wait and see --
                                                               just you wade ‘n sea.”
There are endless waves of energy to which man's brain & tongue give voice;
let your eyes/I's relax, and just drifttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.
    The muscles required to maintain TheThing need a sustained concentration
    unknown to man except under extremely threatening physical conditions;
    in This there are none  --  the concentration comes from inner will alone.
No thing can/will of itself, wake-you-up (certain food, exercise, meditating, reading),  but any thing (such as the parenthetical above) can put you to sleep.
    Anyone who urges you to, “Stick-around” is not your friend  --
    even if it comes from your own mind.
        Remember: no matter what anyone else says:
        taking a hundred vitamin pills a day will make you feel like
        you took a hundred vitamin pills that day.

There is: The Realization, and the: DoingTheThing,
and technically there is no evidence of a  connection between the two,
but from the certain man's experience  --  there must be --
         --  not unlike that twix breathing and fresh, crisp air.
Though it can seem sort of funny,
there is nothing laughable about ordinary people, and their living in a mental dream.
                               Leave dead fish to smell for themselves.
Says one man: “I used to be serious  --  until I died” –
notes his twin: “I was always funny   --  ‘til he perished,
and made me realize what was really going on.”
    When one man was told that he reminded someone of The Earl Of Shatfbury
    he thought: “Interesting! --  I do not even remind ME of me.”
                          Let useless noses rot on their own face.

No song's so sweet
's'from a cement block.
