One
man thought of those struggling to awaken as knights,
and
everyone else as villagers;
knights
without a cause -- not one that villagers could ever comprehend.
More
Parallels That Men Do Not See Tracking.
Weapons
aren’t dangerous -- human nature is;
being
unenlightened is not harmful to you personality wise --
only
to the potential fulfillment of your nature.
A
son asked a father: “What is the most distracting burden a rebel can bear:
trying
to protect secrets about himself?”
“No, believing he has any.”
The
struggle to awaken is being in combat without an opposition --
which
can only be won by so realizing.
A
father said to a son:
“From
the view concerning that certain
goal:
men
give away themselves more through words than actions --
the
words they seriously entertain in their minds regarding themselves.
“By: ‘give-away-themselves’
do you mean that they unwittingly reveal
secrets about themselves, or something else?”
“Consider
the words fully: give away themselves.”
“Like in: squander.”
The
best things cows have going for them is their ability to act cow like
without
being embarrassed by it.
No
one can tell the tale of an age
any
more than they can one moment of their own life.
A
man experienced in the music biz said:
“If
you reach a place where something deep in your bones finally makes you
realize that you are never going to become famous like you had dreamed
of,
all
you can do then is: start wearing shades, a grim face,
and
playing ever longer, rambling Jimi Hendrix covers,”
and
upon hearing this one man mused: “Amazing!
That
is precisely what has already happened in my mind over the years
regarding
what I’d hope to do with my consciousness!”
Being
by circumstances, off-kilter can be useful -- if you MAKE it
useful;
ergo
can the true knight be killed -- but not made ill.
In
lieu of not becoming famous another chap suggests assuming the name of
someone
who is -- and suddenly he thought: “Hey! --
I
could do the same thing in my attempts to be more conscious
--
I
could just pass myself off to me as being so; no one would know but me,
and
I’m the only one who’s interested in it anyway.”
(The
village area of his consciousness thought the idea made no sense
--
which
is what it always thinks when it sees a knight riding away from
the
safety of the collective mind into an irrational freedom.)
Conversation:
Opus Nine.
“Everything
unexpected that happens is unfair.”
“So -- all complaints of unfairness are groundless?!”
Were
the word "but” removed from the language, men would be unable to speak,
--
not
in a manner they would find coherent and explanatory of their feelings
and views.
By
their nature: humans want to be led;
everyone
wants a leader -- a leader they trust;
only
the certain man settles for himself as his leader --
and
only thereby can he discover for
himself what is really going on with life.
One
father frequently uttered the phrase: “Being dead is nothing to be ashamed
of -- being sick is,” by which the son assumed he intended
to convey a message about something other than man’s fleshy substance.
No
matter how well working,
no
one’s immune system can protect them from being what they are.
Dialogue:
Second Series: Number Four.
“Everyone
needs a reminder.”
“What does that mean?”
(Keep
an eye out for Number Five.)
All
kingdoms need two types of diplomats: one who is whiny and apologetic,
and
the other forceful and bombastic;
thus
do men have an upper and lower lip.
The
Way Of The Mind expressed by one man
in military terms:
“We
are in an arms race -- with ourselves.”
Those
with nothing in their hold -- who nonetheless want to be noticed
--
write
their memoirs.
Anyone
who belongs to an organization for the help it can give them needs more
help than any organization can give them (to awaken, that is).
All
rankings of human hobbies are incorrect:
man’s
most popular pastime is preaching:
an
entertaining diversion that can be done with others -- and
just with yourself.
Since
(in non scientific matters) no one knows what they are talking about,
men
have no choice -- they must
speak
as though they do.
The
Way Of Possibility expressed by one
man in economic terms:
“Everyone
has enough discretionary resources to either:
remodel
their house, or themselves -- (through cosmetic surgery).”
(He
neglected to note that a few who live outside of town expend theirs on
shorting
out their mind’s wiring, and remodeling the way their mind thinks.)
The
Ill With No Symptoms – what makes it
so insidious is that
(to normal eyes/I)
--
it
has none.
One
man says: “Thankfully we’re not required to install smoke detectors in
our minds -- man! -- what a waste of money that would be.”
No
one should play with guns -- except gun manufacturers.
(Okay:
the alert knight dallies with no ideas that didn't come from him.)
One
man says that if he had to have a motto for mankind it could be:
“Be
all that life wants you to be” -- which he finds to be:
being
what you are (seeing as how you have no, what-cha-call-it).
Conversation
Number Twenty Seven.
“Men
speak in sentences instead of paragraphs due to attention disorder.”
“Can you be more specific.”
“Due
to a less than fully inflated consciousness.”
To villagers’ minds: the best progress possible for men is: getting back to normal.
One
man says: “I would consider reading fiction and going to the movies
if
the writers could actually make-up
a story.”
Tourism
And Most Men’s Minds.
“A
great place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.”
One
way to free-yourself (you
have to call it something) from being
yourself
is
to decide that you will henceforth play the role
of what you are;
that
you will constantly act out the role of being you:
you
will not be actually being
you -- but will just be playing the role of being you.
J
“Paw,
you haven’t done it this year yet -- tell me again.”
“If there is more to life than enjoying yourself and trying to wake up
-- no one knows what it is.”
“But
the world is full of impressive seeming men from popes to presidents who
quite vigorously claim otherwise?”
“And your point?”
