More
Stories About The Neural City Of Nervous System Land,
And
Conversations Between A Father And Son Living On Its Outskirts

If
you need to seek verification for what you know -- save your
effort --
you
don’t need verification -- you need to know something.
Professional
city critics and other sophomoric smart asses believe that
making
fun of something unworthy will make it go away --
and
yet they are not surprised each morning to find their reflection staring
back at them in the bathroom mirror, wondering why they are still here.
Humor
can be a useful weapon,
but
not in the hands of those who feel they need one,
(aka):
why doesn’t explaining, what-kind-of-guy-you-are
send people into
world
class fits of laughter.
One
man responds to the non essential thoughts his nervous system
commonly
sends to his mind the same way he answers his telephone:
“Yes,
this is me, proceed -- but don’t take the idea of ‘me’
personally.”
What
ordinary people accept as man’s normal mental state,
mystics
call his sleeping one,
and
what mystics think of as man’s sleeping state
is
what causes them to believe that it has a name.
In
the land where minds are hip to what is really happening,
silence
is the giveaway,
(aka):
only when you have no desire to, nor can be enticed to, tell
what you know,
The
Social Life Of Ideas In The Ballroom Of The Mind.
In
certain areas of the city, “RSVX”
at the bottom of a card means
you
were invited by accident.
The
way you can tell you are acceptable amongst your peers is that you have
any, (aka): if your mind finds an idea fits its requirements --
throw the bum out of the party.
The
way you can tell you are in a city shindig is that the host himself is
there
by
accident.
The
one question a man’s mind never asks -- the one that would
radically change
its
and your perception of everything is: “How’d I get here?”
Above
the din of the city’s main gaming room, a voice announced:
“Attention
players: anyone who is not playing with a full deck
is
in the game whether they want to be or not."
For
the rebel: a mind holding only the cards dealt it by the nervous system
has
a losing hand;
if
all you know is what is natural to your genetic temperament,
you
are like a small patch of moss on a tree that can know no more about
the
nature of life than the few millimeters of bark immediately beneath you
--
with
no comprehension of rain, soil, sunshine and the carbon cycle,
“No
wonder that what men call their metaphysical knowledge of life is so ragged,
and
forlorn -- it is an orphan -- and worse still
--
they
are completely without a suspicion of their position.”
Through
what is referred to as education, do ordinary men attempt adoption,
while
the certain man takes the tack of creating his own new child from scratch,
(aka):
“Why rent when you can invent!”
Only
those destined to never know nuthin’ -- learn from others.
“Pa
pa: is that totally true?”
“Again, sufficiently so to be ultimately most useful to the mostly alert
man.”
Non
Temporal Timely Update Re A Certain Matter.
Life
thus far has kept point-blank reality from men’s minds primarily by
hiding
it in religion and philosophy --
which
to most is sufficiently boring as to make them lose interest in the matter.
And
this apparently moved one man to muse:
“Wow!
-- if I was as smart as life, just think what I could be! --
Wow!
-- why I could BE life! -- Jeeze!
-- if I’m not already!”
In
the city, all groups have a public spokesperson -- all but
one.
(Okay,
even if they did, what he might/could say would not be heard as intelligible
by
the native residents.
“Hold
it just an urban-blight minute there! -- so you're saying that even
if one part
of
my brain’s consciousness knew something useful and unknown to the other
parts, there is no way it could ever communicate it to them?”
If
there was ever going to be a hurricane in the Sahara,
wouldn’t it have happened by now.)
Once
upon a time in another land, an outlier, information-based force
wanted
to take over an already populated area, and rather than wage war
on
its inhabitants it simply caused them to start taking entertainment for
information.
In
the beginning, the nervous system can’t talk --
and
after eventually igniting consciousness in its extreme end,
for
the first time, it realizes that it can’t --
so
what does it do? -- it makes consciousness talk as though
it can.
“I’m
sorry, but what you just said is not clear to me?!?”
Are
you sure who you were listening to? -- in city conditions
it is almost impossible
to
distinguish between street noise outside of you, and that inside of you.
To
never catch on to what is going on requires that you be a faithful listener
to
your
personal radio -- forever sitting there, right up next to it
--
blissfully
tuned in and with never a notice of that specific spot whereat
the
incoming broadcast waves physically meet your receiver.
Like
all good children being tucked in safely again for the day:
men
do not WANT to know where the fairy tales come from.
One
man valued his mind so much that he referred to it as his:
“Fifty
dollar pancake” (which no one seemed to fully grasp, least of all his own
brain).
Question:
how can you teach a dog tricks if you
are a dog?
In
the city, no man can answer this -- yet it doesn’t crimp their
trying;
in
the open rebel plains outside of town, magic is possible,
such
miracles occurring as a foot standing on itself --
Every
time it appears: many people call about the ad, but none know why.
“Pa
Pa: how can you ever get to a particular destination
if
you do not personally know what and where the destination is?
How
can you even look for a ticket?”
“Such are not required on carrousels.”
“You
know, Dear Pater: you have an answer for everything.”
“Did I not, I would be no better off than you.”
“Are
all of the instant answers you have to all of my questions
unconditionally
correct?”
“Close enough in words to be the only things you can rely on --
Many inquire -- but few understand why.

The Justice Throughout
The Universe.
When it rains,
even the rebel gets wet -- except in verbal downpours.
