A
son asked a father: “Is there something useful in the mental picture that
has
formed
in my mind wherein I see a progression in that certain-struggle
like this:
in
that uncharted, unconventional realm:
expanded
consciousness comes from increased alertness,
increased
alertness from controlled attention,
and
controlled attention comes from expanded consciousness --
can
that even be considered a progression?
-- and if not:
am
I still on to a thinking about it that can prove profitable?” – and he
responded:
“To
the rebel captain, with hand steady on the wheel, and eyes/I’s
always scanning the sea, unexpected turns in any direction can be valuable
no matter how seeming unconnected to the presumed destination or temporary;
every
move the certain man makes is merely expedient to the moment.”
* * *
To
get (as he refers to it): “A step ahead of things” –
one
man often claims as illustrious ancestors,
famous
people who haven’t been born yet.
(Are
you to say conclusively that he may not be on to something?!)
It
is thought by some that genetics will: “Speak for themselves,"
while
others hold the position: “Huh?!”

A
father quizzed a son:
“The
meanest dog leads the physical pack --
but
who has an unusually alert man to intellectually follow?” -- then
answered:
“The
bowels of the beast, my boy -- the bowels of the beast.
Again:
just the opposite of what everyone believes.........(and what else is new!)"

Math
Question Of The Day.
Which
is greater: the number of thoughts -- or: the number of men thinking
them?
In
one reality: ships who believe the sea they are presently plowing is theirs
alone
(as
spatial logic would have it)
never
get anywhere (that is): they can never deviate from their scheduled course,
and
discover that special place so longed for by those few extraordinary salts.

There
are no Lite
versions of the struggle to change consciousness -- O! --
the
landscape is littered in them, but still: there are no operational Lite
versions.
(Hell!
truth be said: there’s just barely an actual one --
and
everybody knows
where IT comes from!...........................okay, so they don’t:
from
the bowels of the vessel itself.)
The
simple believe that the questions are simple, and the answers complex,
while
a more attentive man realizes that all of the questions, right from the
start, are much too complex, and that all consciousness-expanding
answers
always
prove to be quite simple and straightforward.

Everyone

After
hearing that many cities set aside areas in their parks
wherein
citizens can go and say publicly whatever they like,
this
one, somewhat reticent metropolis established its own version thereof
whereat
their people could go -- fully prepared to HEAR anything they
wished.
Question:
what do these two locales together represent?

A
man proposes: “Death is not the final indignity --
not
as long as there is any chance someone will do a biography of you.”
Not quite:

There
is nothing to cry about in the intellectual realm;
the
civilized cry only over words;
the
attentive do not cry over spilt milk while the ordinary cry at the sight
of milk;
milk
only frightens city intellectuals;
there
is nothing to really cry about in the intellectual realm.
And
this unrelated story just in concerning the planet’s two
uncredited
military institutions:
At
the Hormonal War College
the first thing recruits are taught is to bark:
“Go
to hell!” while those in the Neural
training facility are taught to say: “I surrender.”
A
father told a son: “If you are still seeking forgiveness --
you
are still missing the point.”

One
man mused: “Most of what everyone believes they know -- they made
up,”
and
his partner said: “Good -- very good and getting better
-- but:
you
have one
wrong word in there.”
Everyone
is a walking time bomb, but no one actually ever goes off
except
the city’s insane, and the more conscious man, and (you might care to note)
there is a slight difference between the two................. (a bit of
humor for the insane).
After
his first exposure to ordinary religious ideas, a little kid rushed in
the house and exclaimed: “Just think Dad: after death -- in
heaven –
everybody’s
wishes will be granted!” and the old man mused:
“Wouldn’t
that be the final chapter of all
this, dipped in shit!”

Another
Example Of Why Life Is Not As It Seems To The Simple.
If
you can throw a person down --
make
them be still --
sit
on them, and make them smile in the process, you have either:
helped
increase their awareness -- or saved the cost of a new sofa.
If men’s consciousness would allow them to think about more --
they would privately laugh more.

In
describing the kind-of-person-they-are,
would-be rebel captains
stir
up their neural seas such that meaningful sightings become impossible.
Although
it is too clear to be ordinarily obvious: outside of space --
there is no time,
not
even the time to control your attention and increase your awareness.
Stabbed today -- bleed tomorrow;
and those who've already shed are doomed to bleed some more.
Explaining-yourself
is the mental freebooter’s form of blindness.
“Pa
pa: can creatures be truly said to be blind when all they are doing is
refusing
to look?”
“Fair question, but: can they be said to be refusing to look
when their nervous system won’t let them do otherwise?
Only the man who becomes certain-well
can rescue his medical history
from the morbidity of the mental past.
And a jungle fact and query for you:
The movement and noise of the physical environment
dictates the actions of non thinking animals --
question: what directs the mental actions of man?”

The
reason that all of man’s cherished myths begin: “Long ago and far away…”
is
to distract them from glancing around too closely at the here and now.
