NEWS THAT CAN CREEP UP ON YOU
____________________________________________

There was a man who had a train station,
and discovered a strange thing thereabout:
he could either call out the arrivals & departures of the trains  --  or:
he could ride the trains  --  but:
he could not do both at the same time
..........(well, actually he could  --  he just was not able to do so and still be aware of it).
 

   Regardless of the verbal importance men place on trying to differentiate,
   reality from, distorted-perceptions-of-reality –
   what good is any reality that selects and chooses  --  nay, let us be precise:
   what good are minds whose concept of reality is composed of things
   selected and chosen.
 
 

The realization of the certain man reveals no secrets that have
secrets from themselves:
in the secret confessional booth, it's either:
tell all! --  or: get the hell out!

The Lament Of The Few:

“I want to soar,

                                                                 I want to fly,
                                                                 I want to see how things look from on high,
                                                                 but what thrilling sights can I ever see,
                                                                 when my eye/I is crammed full of
                                                                 nothing but me.”
 
 
 

                                   Everybody is full of their self,
                                       the certain man’s trick is to ignore self.
                                       ..................(“Get those damn blinders off me!”)

The repeating of one’s positions and intentions is what keeps a man captive
with no need for physical shackles,
and what is most elusive about understanding this confinement
is how it is accomplished right out in the open –
right out in the middle of men’s everyday, language-based mental activities;
to further compound the situation is the fact that each man’s mind
has as its target audience  --  itself
.........(the realization of this puts the certain man in a most exclusive minority).

If an illness falls on a man
of such magnitude that it totally engulfs him,
it will never be diagnosed  --   it simply becomes him.

Thus it is between an ordinary man and his mentally driven sense of a self.
 

Every day one man would say to himself:
“You know: I could be dying again      ----        all over again.”
 

Neural Technology & Water Management:
Men got the idea for reinforcing dams
from noticing how they kept what they call, themselves sane.

The brain has two voices: one vocal  --  one not;
few ever realize this  –
fewer still make use of the fact.

Definition: The Brain’s Civilization:
Always more-&-more about more-&-more which started out as
nothing.
 

   Even the certain man’s mind was born in the city  –
   --  but it fled the scene as soon as possible.

Mental Health Watch:
It is extremely difficult (if not impossible)
to maintain one’s naturally dazed & staring neural state
unless one continually restates their position.
 
 
 

There is a certain meal which cannot be served without it first being announced.
 
 

Once upon a time a small band of people appeared who lost all taste for certain foods,  and who later became extremely (if not selectively) deaf.

The ultimate trick is not holding-your-finger-in-the-dike --
but becoming water proof.
 
 

The ordinary must take their excitement where they can find it,
while the certain man always takes his with him  --  he has to.

If there was a sin actually possible for man it would be:
to act without the effect of thought;
if there was a super one it would be: repetition of the thought after the act.

   Men do not drown in real problems (save those in graves) –
   but rather their viable mental potential gradually chokes on itself.

      If the certain man is asked if there is anything wrong with the way
      ordinary people think  --  he would not answer  --
      for to do so would create something wrong with him.

         But in their constant search for excitement,
         routine minds will read a train schedule as a denouncement of rail travel.
           ......(Yet another view of why the certain man must bring his own entertainment with him.)

One man notes: “It certainly is easier to live in man’s ordinary dazed mental condition
if you are not continually noticing it.”
...(His cousin later added: “Yeah, and I’d like to know just who it was that
ever noticed it in the first place!”)
 
 

   Though their cells and structure are the same,
   the history of man and that of the certain man are wildly different episodes:
   one can be told (since it is made up),
   and the other one not (for the same reason).

More On Head Centered Health:
The origin of all communicable mental diseases is the fact that:
one word follows another.

One man in fact finally concluded the brain’s routine thought activity to be
a Ponzi scheme.
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man, struggling (he says) to fulfill his certain-potential
has adopted these two firm rules regarding his brain’s normal mental activity:

“Fuck it!”  (excuse the language).
