When one author learned of the word, “sic” and how it is used,
he (because of his own poor spelling and grammar) began to random insert same throughout his writings to help cover his own inadequacies.
(And when his brother heard of this, he began saying, “sic” to himself amidst
the thinking that goes on in his head to compensate for its questionable quality.)
 
 
 
 
 

One man captured an utterly fantastic creature that no one around him had ever seen before, and after the initial excitement had abated, he was faced with the big question: what to do with it?     What?!  --  you don’t think that a big question?!  --
you say that you know exactly what you would do with such a find?  --
make a fortune off it!  --  yeah, well that’s easy for you to say  --
you’re not the one who found the thing.
Fact. Everybody believes they know what to do about everything  --
as long as it never happens.
Fact. Only the certain man has things occur in his life that should not have  --
and in fact which (from all ordinary views) can not  (that is):
he does things contrary to his genetic temperament  --  yet in his case, somehow do.
 
 
 
 
 

Physics In The City: Magnetism 101: Its Social Functions & Dynamics.
The less their talent, the greater are men’s attraction to name tags and titles.
Herds are packed densely in that only the dense are there.
That which is praised as talent in the city defines the place’s degree of understanding.
Caterwauling is poetry to caterwauls, and bleeding, performance art to the dying.
The force of life is encouraged in the few by their encouragement of
their individual talents  --  by their private encouragement and nourishment –
by being the sole audience for their secret and unnatural
nervous system performances.
Inside the city, “death” means something different than it does to the rebel
on the open plains outside of town...........(and so does, “life” for that matter).
    “Pa pa: does anybody know what he is talking about!”
“Well, let’s see: where are we  --  if in the city, no.
Only those who have captured the fantastic creature do,
for they have it to act as their dictionary and translator.”
Fact. Any data willfully related to escape from the city must be translated
to be of use  --  and ultimately translated by the receiver of the data.
    “But that, as dear aunt Emma likes to say Dad, puts the onus squarely on you.”
“True my boy, but as that revered metaphysical band leader would say:
'Ah, onus, and a twous  --  take away ah boyus.'"
    “YEAH!  --  that’s what our family does (huh Dad)  -- take it away.”
"(Chuckle, chuckle  --  faux chuckle.)  Yes indeed (ha, ha),
or as your sweet auntie Emma likes say: ‘We take it the fuck away.’
(Chortle, chortle, apparently, real chortle.)
For the few my son, there is nothing AS sweet as: taking-it-away;
when you are born in the city  --  what is the alternative?!
And someone once asked me: ‘Why are some sentences that sound like questions followed by both a question AND exclamation mark? --
does this unwittingly reveal that the author is not really sure of what he is saying?  --  and why the hell haven’t I ever thought to use this in my own thinking?!’
And here’s a question for you regarding his comment of:
‘Why the hell haven’t I ever THOUGHT to use this in my own THINKING’?  --
how can seemingly intelligent human beings,
after six thousands years of experience, continue to deal in mental symbols that seriously picture a hand reaching out to lift itself up?
How is a mind able (with a straight face) to speak of what in essence is:
its thinking instructing its thinking in matters about which its thinking is ignorant:
it is men’s unexamined acceptance that their thinking can have thoughts
that are new and unknown to their thinking.”
   “But Pater precious to me: is that not precisely what you say happens when
     a person’s mind wakes up to what is really going on with life:
     that they DO have thoughts foreign to their thinking?!”
“Yes, that is what I have said --  concerning your efforts to realize this goal,
but the instant after your eyes/I’s fully open,  you understand that the
extraordinary ideas that seemed to awaken you were always there;
in the midst of smoke is always fire, though the smoke may cloud awareness of same for those whose sight is not by nature, driven to be forever in search of sources.
So, yes indeed: it is harmless foolishness that ordinary people
speak in terms indicating that by their dutiful thinking about a given matter, enlightening ideas will emerge therefrom which would NOT have,
had they not thought about it;
truly, finally: the reality of the alchemists’ dream:
the production of something --  from materials in which it did not exist --
something from nothing;
not only is this not possible,
their minds display naught realization thereof (but as noted:
‘tis a harmless, and indeed, profitable illusion in the lives of routine humanity);
the difference with those of our outlier genetic lineage is that through whatever unconventional and unnecessary methods you discover, make up and employ
to pry your eyes/I’s open,
the few come to see the impossibility of this commonly held idea
which is at the very foundation of civilization and man’s cultural world,
and BY this experience of seeing  --
the certain man’s mind becomes impossibly able TO seemingly  --   to actually
have thoughts that are foreign not just to his thinking, but to thinking.
Face it little nipper: knowin’ somethin’ ain’t worth spit if you don’t know you know it,
same as knowin’ something when you DON’T know it ain’t worth much either.
Is there anything else you’d like to know?”
    “What else could there BE?!”
“That’s my boy: always end with both a question AND exclamation mark.”
 
 
 
 
 

As regards the attempt to do something intangibly extraordinary in your life
(such as discover what is actually going on with this experience men call:
"Being alive") the following may safely be considered a fact.
All organized efforts to achieve this are chump efforts  --  phoney.
Oh yeah: this is why all who seek-to-know  start out thinking:
   "Okay, the first thing I need to do is to find a plan,"
and this (may Meister Eckhart's sister bestow upon thee sweet transcendental favors)
serves to keep most from ever going further.
   "Daddy, when I get older can I learn what is really going on?"
"Either that or you can join the Little League."
   "Wow! --  which will cost me the least?  --   no, strike that:
     in which of the two activities do I get to wear spiked shoes?"
" Well for sure you must in the first to plow up from your mind the ideas required."
 
 
 
 
 

A man feels the urge to sing --
he searches 'til he finds a church, a night club, a recital hall --
any organization that will take him as a student;
after that he will soon be thinking of himself as a man who chose to become
the type of vocalist emblematic of his schooling.
Rats taught by eagles will believe they can fly  --   but they are still rats.
    "Pa pa, aren't we all rats?"
"Spelled: human nature (more specifically): each man's individual temperament.

Remember boy: on our family's team, if you can't  fly  --  there's no position for you."
