In
regard to human affairs: ordinary men say that you can’t have it both ways,
but
the certain man has a special edition of this:
he
cannot have a three, four, or five dimensional view in only two ways (that
is):
via
binary sight.
You
cannot capture the full significance of a three headed dragon
if
you catch him in but two poses.
Whatever
your cave-born thoughts say is true -- is not,
and
what they say is not -- is also not.
It’s
hard to see the light if you insist on staying inside where it's dark.
(”Well shit -- I knew that.”)
Every
time Lancelot would
get shot, he’d yell: “I’ve been shot!” --
until
finally the rest of the band realized he was actually the
anti-Lancelot,
(And
for it having taken them so long, King
Arthur canceled all weekend passes.)
“Spiritual
mediums & stage mentalists are living proofs of: thought’s
power to fool.”
“But you left out all the other circumstances in which humans talk.”
“I’m
sorry -- you’re right, I did.”
Fact:
Ordinary people prefer to think of tornadoes as exceptions to the weather;
lava
flows are normal -- as long as they only hit your neighbor's
house;
“My mind is way too sharp to be taken in by mind
things.”
Fact:
You cannot see where the Redball
Express is headed while you are on
it,
and
as long as you are the dummy, whatever comes out of the ventriloquist's
mouth sounds right to you.
(Boy! -- who could have expected that!)
Medical
Rumor.
Some
people’s cells gang up on them.
There are things you shouldn’t say to people, but no one can tell you what they are.
Psychological
Rumor.
Many
people’s cells gang up on them.
In
his head, one man does a running commentary to his life:
he
thinks of this as him being himself.
All
People’s Personalities Prudently Explained.
Everyone’s
cells gang up on them.
How
Mind Will Manipulate Even The Impersonal, Technical Matters It Creates.
The
primary use of statistics is to scare people.
When
two groups meet, there is one question: Who is in charge?
Relate
this to the confluence of feelings & thoughts in your nervous system.
A
choice is your friend -- if it is your
choice.
To
be of ordinary consciousness is to be uncertain of even small things (for
instance): whether there is actually any legitimate reason for you feeling
uncertain.
The
ultimate piece of good news to many is: “You’re going to die.”
“What
a relief!” sighed some certain synapses who, within one man,
had
seen quite enough.
“Hey, hold it: how can the brain blame a man for what goes on in it!?”
Same
way men blame their brain.
And
hearing this little byplay, those synapses then said:
“Now
we’re really
glad this whole thing is about over.”
Maybe
someone should point out to them how unbecoming cynicism is
to
neurons..........which ushers the question:
Can
you picture an individual cell being sarcastic? How frightening is
that?! --
yet
it must be, or how else could men be?
“Dear
Sir: I really don’t like it whenever you start talking about cells rather
than
men
as whole creatures (who seem to me to be something more than
just
the collection of their individual cells).
I
wonder why that is? (not enough however to actively seek an answer).
Yours,” etc.
Here
is what the ordinary mind is not programmed to take in:
Mind
is like a telephone over whose neural lines come endless conversation;
this
can’t be helped; this is how man is born, but what a few can do
is
not pick up the phone.
“Let
‘em yap all they want to -- who but an idiot complains
about unwanted calls
when
he has an off switch on the phone’s ringer?!”
(This
by the way, is the unrecognized basis of all the methods dedicated to
achieving
enlightenment and waking up.)
“Dear
Sir: Sometimes I get very interested in a picture you will conjure up,
only
to be disappointed when you conclude the matter in a manner much less
verbally
specific than I had expected. What gives? Sincerely,”
etc.
With you or with me?
No
one wrote or called this one man so he did it to himself.
“Who exactly was this man?”
You
don’t wanna know.
“Sure I do.”
No
you don’t -- or you wouldn’t have to ask who he
is.
Parisians
(when pressed) all say they’re actually from Marseilles.
“I don’t get it."
Sure
you don’t.
The
nervous system’s powers of persuasion make Merrill
Lynch look like
a
group of girl scouts.
“It’s neat to be king,” said one twelve inch ruler --
whose
kingdom just happened to be a foot square.
“When I choose to be dense -- who is there to stop me?!”
There
was once a tunnel through a mountain;
it
knew it was but a device to connect the two areas at either of its ends;
the
mountain however, seemed oblivious to this most obvious fact;
must
you be told who and what the mountain is.
“Hell, that’s not the half of it: what the fuck is the tunnel?!”
Living
in echo canyon makes
it (shall we say)tricky
to ever realize that you are an echo, (okay: that part of your nervous
system in charge of giving the running travelogue
to
your existence).
“You know, I have begun to suspect that if I could somehow, get-away-from-me
I might be able to finally see what is really going on ---
on -- on -- on”
The
Code Can Only Be Cracked By Employing In A Special Way
The
Part Of Your Nervous System That You Hear (Revisited & Expanded).
The
certain man’s understanding takes over at the point where:
the
metaphor meets the road:
where
his specialized mind touches things as they are:
where
his unencumbered consciousness confronts unadorned reality;

The Blues
As Covert News.
When alone, one
man sometimes like to sing:
"I'm a crawlin' king snake,
and I rule my den" -- just for the intimately shared
chuckle it gave him and life.
(Although
it did secretly bother him some as to why life would laugh along at this.)
