There
is a rhythm to life that is all but hypnotic;
with
the body this presents no problem,
and
in fact can provide distinct enjoyment,
but
with the mind! -- now there is where the certain man has a
problem.
“Hey!”
said one area of the realm, “I may be dumb, but I sure can dance!” --
and
that it can,
but
he trying to get to the bottom of things has more on his mind than his
feet.
Fact:
when he is not involved in survival related activity,
the
conscious part of man’s nervous system is programmed to drift freely and
unnoticed between a world of internal dreams and its awareness of physical
reality;
with
ordinary men, this is the life in the head to which they are accustomed,
and
agreeable, but it is the very arrangement that bedevils the few.
And
someone says: “What good is having imagination if it is not given free
reign?!” -
and
someone else sarcastically asks: “What is poking around at life
while
insisting that it is not criticism ever going to accomplish?!”
As
cognitionally clumsy as they may be, many men nonetheless
pass
their intellectual free time doing the distracting tango:
listening
with smugness to themselves trip the verbally fantastic,
(“trip
over
the verbally fantastic,” it would read in offshore, higher yield accounts).
Fact
For The Few: certain parts of some
machines perform best
when
running in strict rhythm: the more mechanical the better;
certain
parts are not all parts, and not all men hear the same music,
nor
care to do the same dance.
When
he heard someone warn that even things beneficial like medicines
can
become habits, a man mused: “Well who would want to partake of anything
that
didn’t
have the possibility of being so!” (Then quickly said to his mind:
“And
don’t you say anything cute!” )
Wanting
to awaken is wanting the mind to do more than it is naturally set to do
(which
is): to do something worthwhile when it has nothing worthwhile to do.
Beyond
his instinctive physical habits, unnoted patterns are omnipresent
in
the life of man, culturally, verbally and intellectually, and every other
way.
At
least in one respect is the city frugal: regarding thoughts --
about
which its official policy is: “Recycle.”
All
social-change
is genetic, cellular, and temperament based.
One
kid confronted his shaky sibling thus:
“If
you find the idea of complete mechanicalness being the basis of life upsetting
-- consider the alternative.”
A
man with fully developed mental competency
removes
from his vocabulary the word,
unfortunate.
Definition
Time. Civilization (man’s collective
mental life in the city):
the
necessary making of the simple -- sticky.
The
true origin of man’s notion of a “lost paradise” came from the vague memory
the
initially barren plains of his brain’s consciousness had of how things
were in the nervous system before the appearance of thought & words,
and
upon the loose use of which is also constructed the fable of Babel’s Tower
which
is commonly blamed for the loss of the erstwhile paradise, but note:
without
a situation in which thought & word can engage in activity of a
nonessential
nature, man could have no dreams of a better situation;
without
the ability to imagine he has lost a treasure -- man would
not seek one.
Contrary
to the proverb: What goes around does not eventually come
around,
but
rather: only that with the capacity to endlessly go
around ever comes around
in
the first place, (comes around in man’s mind, that is).
“Why,
good lord Holmes! -- that makes the whole thing work out just right!”
“Correct, dear Watson -- ain’t that a bitch.”
Man’s
endless mental puzzlement over questions regarding: cause-&-effect
are
not capable of being cleared without he understand that
ships
arise spontaneously from the rhythmical pounding of the seas.
The
Quizmaster reminded the contestants: “The first question was:
‘Is
man animate or inanimate matter?’ -- and the answer is: Yes,
the
second question was: ‘Is man free, or a helpless part of a great machine?’
--
and
again the correct response is: Si.”

Anyone
who ever says: “Why me?!” may as well cash in their chips now –
they
will never
be holding a winning hand.
One
day after reading the term, single
minded a man suddenly thought:
“The
phrase doesn’t describe mind, but -- single.
Humm......same
as the mind doesn’t define words, but rather words do mind.”
Entertaining
vs. Informing.
Regarding
ordinary life, one man complains: “It is too long between commercials.”
One
man went to an alternative medical facility wherein he had his tongue connected
directly to his brain -- boy -- talk about your
unnecessary surgery.
The
attending physician later pondered the question of just how far can
a
ship’s keel get from the water -- then suddenly slapped his
forehead as his mind pointed out the irrational impossibility of it putting
any distance between it and its
liquid support.
What
class of idiot can imagine an object being capable of any degree of separation
from its natural environment?! -- ridiculous! -- and
yet,
even
though all parts of a machine are part of its total operation,
not
all parts of a machine are directly connected TO all other parts;
the
ongoing remembrance and use of that fact is the secret trick.
News
From The Street.
One
man discovered an unknown financial-instrument -- it was a
freak accident.
“What: his discovering it, or the instrument?”
One man wonders: “Why does everyone you get to know well
turn out to have a secret crazy something about them --
except you?!”
When
a situation tempts you to be sarcastic thereabout,
remember
that
silence
about same can result in you understanding instead of ridiculing it.
