When
ordinary men refer to someone as being deep,
or complex
what they are unwittingly saying is that he is mentally asleep, and distracted
to an unusual degree.
Even
though he has none, if an enlightened man had a single striking characteristic
it
would be shallowness,
but of such a nature as to be unrealized by routine minds,
in
that the essence of their apparent
substance is based on faux complexity,
(which
is to say): complexity without a point.
Conventional
thinking about the affairs of man is entangled
simply
to give the impression of profundity;
the
certain man’s conscious mental veneer is just thick enough
for
him to pass as civil.
Nothing
stands in the way of enlightened sight
like
stupidly standing in front of yourself.
(“Is
that like saying that nothing keeps you from being smart
like
your present ignorance which thinks
itself smart?”)
* * *
In
the grand totality that is the human-experience,
it
is possible for a man to teach others about that which he does not know,
and
cannot himself do -- with one glaring exception!
(Well,
what should
be glaring to the few interested in the special matter,
and
simply ignored by the rest of the world.)
“It’s
good to know there is at least one
matter about which I can’t be fooled!
(And
exactly what is
that matter you’re referring to?)”
* * *
One
metaphysically inclined man says he has disturbing visions,
and
frightening premonitions
(he
also notes that in a previous life he had corns and blisters,
and
thus views his present state as a definite [however small] move forward.)

T.
& A. Time (Sorry: Q. & A. Time).
Question:
What is worse, worse and double worse than being stupid?
Answer:
Being a critic of stupidity.
(Withal: the
ordinary feel that man is never more godlike than when passing
righteous, indignant
judgment. [Any wonder they suffer so many headaches?!])

Last
Thursday at the College Of Consciousness, Professor Bentfield said to his
class:
“A
more alert man’s relationship to the thoughts that just appear in his mind
would
be reflective (I suggest) of Dr. Johnson’s to the words of his day
prior
to his collecting, organizing and definitively defining them.”

As
he fumbled in trying to grasp some new technology,
a
man was encouraged with the words:
“Well,
at least such challenges are good for one’s intellectual humility,”
and
he quietly mused: “As though I need such!”
* * *
One
man had pains in his muscles;
another
man had pains in his organs;
another
man had pains in his emotions,
and
a fourth man had pains in a place which the other three don’t even know
about.
(Okay:
"Which they pretend to be unaware of."
“You should not end a sentence with a preposition!”
Okay:
"Which they pretend to be unaware of, dammit!")

That
Unconventional Logic Reexamined Once More.
Noofess:
All mental confusion comes from ignorance.
Dorkle:
All of man’s knowledge of himself is ignorance.
(Zort-Zort:
What course would that conclusion lead a smart man to pursue?)

One
man’s professed position is:
anything
he hears that he does not like -- he believes someone simply
made up.

Ignorance
interrupted is ignorance denied --
unless
of course you fall for its old trick (when uncovered) of instantly joining
you in
its
denunciation and offering to assist in a fresh search for replacement intelligence.

A
Succinct History Of Man: The Great Nervous System Of Life.
The
beginning-of-the-end
(from the minority view) commenced when the first man
to
have consciousness said: “Hey, where is the beginning of this thing?”
the
certain man’s private task now is to find (okay): create
his own end to it.

One
chap (as he studied the cities-of-man) pondered the question:
“Are
the dominant wolves life selects to lead our civilized packs
chosen
for their intelligence, their aggressiveness,
or
for their exceptional submission to life and stupidity?”
He
constantly reminded himself that such ponderings ran dangerously close
to
The
Three Layered Swamp wherein one can
fall and thrash about,
endlessly
reflecting on whether human existence might be either a
willful,
intelligent conspiracy, or an automatic stupid one,
(and
can even cause a person engaged in such speculation
to
constitute a whole new category of pseudo perceptional complexity).

At

For
his birthday, the charges of one god gave him a bullhorn,
and
a book of inspirational verse --
which
he smilingly gazed upon with the sarcasm only a deity can muster.
One
man’s motto was: “Sarcasm is as sarcasm does” -- until his
brother suggested: “Sarcasm is as conditions demand” -- which he
ran with until his uncle insisted: “Sarcasm is just the irony of the lower
brows” -- which he adopted until a cousin pointed out that there
are no brows lower than those who think there can be any
lower
than them;
he
finally settled on simply realizing that the desire to preach to others
is
just a harmless little joke life plays on man, deserving no cynicism,
(it
also makes the wind howl and nobody finds that objectionable).

One
fellow says:
“Why
bother to listen to you talk to yourself
unless
you are smarter than you already are?! -- and if you were that
smart:
why
would you even bother to talk to you in the first place!”
(He’s
jolly-well jammed up the exit doors for some, huh?!)
