Playing What Privately Provokes The Few Since 1872

There is nothing easier than getting cows to join in a collective boo  --  or cheer.
When what is involved either means nothing or does not actually exist  --  who cares -- --  what difference does it make.

Said a father to a son:
“Least you ever get miscongrutilated in your perception, 
there is nothing amiss in the mortal situation: cows run life (actually of course
life does; first through a few slightly mad alpha wolves at the top of the pyramid,
then with cows [the mass of men] taking care of the everyday affairs of life on Earth).
Men survive as a social, civilized species via collective thinking, agreement and effort, thus at any given time and place, what the cows are doing and saying
is what is proper for life’s purposes at that moment and location.
The cows are always right, just as for our special family aim, the cows are always,
no  --  not wrong  --  irrelevant.

Realizing our goal is impossible if your mind is entangled in wrangling regarding
the right or wrong of man’s cow-like ideas and speech;
what the majority of cows agree to in a given herd is right for that herd;
life, through their brain’s consciousness, feeds men the thoughts proper to
whatever purpose they are for that moment serving for life.
The life, words and ideas of cow herds
(while being the supporting foundation of human life on this planet)
are totally irrelevant to the quite minority interest of the few like us;
when the cows stage one of their many parades in their collective honor, you
(if you happen to be near by) should wave a herd flag when they pass,
same as everyone else.

Crudely: it is thanks to the life of cows that conditions are such as to allow
the likes of you and I to pursue our uncommon interest:
cows (and the unthinking life they lead) are not our enemy,
but neither are they a source of the information and understanding we seek
to make our individual and totally private lives complete.
Cows are given the directions needed to establish and maintain stable herds;
their collective, force-fed thinking gives us the technology and manipulation of
the physical environment that continually make survival more likely,
and life more comfortable,
so do not fall into the most foolish and fatal trap of mentally seeing
the rest of the world (the cow herds) negatively;
criticizing them will stop all movement: you will be mired in cow dung;
what you are after is not even in the fields they graze.

And as always, the more important manifestation of this is in your own head:
you have cows and their herds in your own mind: everyone is born with them,
and they are necessary for you to acceptably fit into ordinary human life
(which you must be able to do to successfully pursue our extraordinary one)
but same as how you must realize what is relevant and what is not in the
everyday life you find outside of you,
you must also recognize that distinction in the mental life you find inside of you.
The common, basic cows in your mind serve to guide your speech and behavior
to conform to your community/herd standards: something absolutely necessary for anyone to live a reasonably free and safe everyday existence,
but these cow thoughts, so vital and proper for herd life,
never contain anything of value to us (the secret strays).

So again, on another level, in a different context:
do not waste your energy and put your own hands over your mental eyes
by steer wrestling with these ideas life serves everyone for the collective good;
do not get foolishly stuck in criticizing these ideas, expecting from them
that which they cannot provide: information regarding escape from the herd.
One our unconventional lineage is intelligent enough not to look to alligators for milk.

The thoughts that automatically appear in your mind
will never contain anything of use to you in your wondrous search,
any more than will those which appear in others,
so the sooner you recognize this, well  --  its benefit is obvious.

Do not waste your time, energy, life and splendiferous mental potential
kicking at cows for not giving champagne or instructions in flying;
you dumb your own self down by all fault finding with the ideas that come from ordinary men and the ones from the ordinary part of your own mind.
There is a totally extraordinary place in your nervous system’s brain
or you would not be my son and interested in this affair with no name,
and as strongly as you may feel an unidentifiable itch in your innards,
it will lead to naught ‘less you activate and nourish this potential;
just because you are born with the potential for breaking free from the
collective cow dream does not guarantee that you will.

The standard potentials with which men are born become automatically activated  --
     this one does not;
cows, wolves & gators mechanically become fully realized cows, wolves & gators  --
    the few of our peculiar blood line do not.


In your brain you have cows, and you have the part decidedly non bovinian;
the trick is to always have one eye on the cows
which leaves the other one free to roam outside the normal grazing fields
where alone resides that for which you hunger, young hay burner.”
