Amidst
all the palaver at the bar, one man, as he partook of his pilsner
proclaimed
to his fellow quaffers and philosophical companions:
“A
man who has never confronted death has never fully experienced life,”
and
the barkeep mused: “From that perspective:
a
man in my position should then be well acquainted with extreme intelligence.”

Mind
came up with the psychological aberration: Obsessive
Compulsive Behavior, (described as
caused by: “obtrusive ideas that come in your mind against your will”)
to
distract men’s attention from their normal mental condition.

The foremost requirement to serve as an expert in any non technical, cultural matter

Men generally treat the ideas that come in over the wire services in their head
*

Heads
Up!
Mind
will tell you ANYTHING! -- if that’s what you want to hear.
(If
you find that too harsh, substitute “life” for “mind” [but it still comes
out the same.])

After
hearing repeated once again the well used collective human expression:
“We
shall all hang together, or we shall surely hang separately,” one man
suddenly
thought: “Would not the ultimate solution be to simply kill the hangman?!”
“Pa
pa: is it reasonable amongst our kin to assume that this story has more
to do with mental problems and solutions than with physical executions?!”

The Appropriate Fluency Of Hormones & Neurons.
The
eloquence of grief -- tears,
of
stupidity -- speech,
(ergo
would be the eloquence of understanding, too obvious to deserve mentioning.)

On
top of every hill is another hill,
and
though this process has no end, if carried far enough by an alert mind
--
the
specious significance of the hills will fess up and fade into the neural
mist.
The unimportant can only be important in mental newsrooms
which treat unimportant stories as newsworthy.
When some current idea in the public marketplace is causing ordinary men
to bite their nails -- the certain man is biting the
idea.

A
man who believed that his thoughts came either from his mind or his body
was
startled when he heard it said that they came from his molecules.
Normally
civilized minds are not wired up to favorably look at themselves
under
anything resembling a scientific light;
their
view is: you examine chemistry, scientifically;
you
examine culture -- gingerly;
the
elements will withstand harsh scrutiny -- the arts, not;
no
one involved is interested in why this is true -- they simply
accept it.

There
are things that will kill you before death,
but
ordinary minds do not know what they are, nor do they really want to know
--
that
is why they concocted religions: something to keep them busy, speculating.
* * *
As
concerns all matters in mind’s other reality:
all
statements-of-fact are in fact -- questions;
of
things incorporeal, nothing conclusive can be said,
(well.......other
than the obvious).

If
you can’t hear the surprise when it comes -- you can’t BE surprised.
SURPRISE!

For
the few, the true beauty of thought in the survey of man is in its ability
to embrace how things are, and not just how the majority’s thoughts say
they should be.
(Once
you personally recognize them,
the
seven dwarfs cease promoting their theory of little people predestination.)

As
long as a man believes that his mind can find solutions to intangible problems
--
he
will have problems.
The
radical divide between the knight and villagers is that he can only be
harmed by boars and bulls while they can be repetitively slain by dragons.
For
full understanding of an engine -- get down to the pistons and camshaft;
for
full understanding of man’s spiritual and cultural self --
get
down to the pistons and camshaft.
If
what you are studying, you can’t set on a work bench --
you’re
studying the shadow of the wind.
