There
Is A Difference Between Drowning-In-Words,
And
Doing So In Non Swimming Ones
_____________________________
The
featured speaker at the convention opened his address thus:
“Although
unannounced: immediately after everyone is born,
another
person is sewn inside them,”
at
which point a man in the audience stood and rejoined:
“You
are using outdated data; my more recent research shows that
everyone
has sewn inside them the belief
that another person is sewn inside them.”
Referee’s
Decision Upon Watching The Replay.
“Belief
always takes precedence.
Ball was in bounds --
first down."
Man’s
spiritual realm truly began to blossom when for instance, almost miraculously,
all
of the inspired, enlightened men who turned up in Hinduism
started to be Hindus,
and those in Shintoism, Shintos.
(Even
if you’re not religiously inclined you must admit that this is extraordinary
enough to make you reconsider the question of supernatural forces and events,
no?!)
The
Way Of Prison Life.
What
could be more enthusing, edifying and thoroughly entertaining
than
hearing someone repeat the words of another.
“No thank you, no food needed for me (for you see):
I
got to meet a man who once watched someone eat (so of course
I’m fine in that area.)"
The
Head
of The Order said to a neophyte:
“Leave
the Crown
and the Crowds
to debate the existence of free will;
the
true knight knows that he has none -- save to do that which
he must.”
Another
Unrecognized Plain Fact.
If
you don’t care what people think about you -- they won’t much
think about you.
Not
infrequently in his ongoing verbal intercourse with himself
one
man would feel the propriety of saying: “No need to be insulting.”
How
The Real Justice Of Things Works (As Per Man’s Mind).
None
of the truly important people in the world live in places
with
hard to pronounce names.
Conversation.
“There
is only one pay off to trying to help other people -- do you know
what it is?”
“Hell! --
everybody knows that!”
For
a while: whenever making a first person reference, instead of saying: “I”
--
one
man substituted the phrase:
“That
which I am (quote): ‘pleased to
call myself ' (end quote)”
an
act he says with visible benefits as questionable as any other alteration
a
man attempts in his personal life awash in the omnipotence of humanity's
standard
behavior.
One
man couldn’t find a way to stop the traffic that constantly roared through
his yard, but did finally discover that it was meaningless --
which
eventually brought him to the realization that it was not his --
a
perhaps, childishly-simple-seeming recognition,
yet
one unacknowledged by all but the point zero, zero, zero, zero percenters.
All
of life is a big imitation -- and man with the addition of
insisting it’s not.
Latest
Model Update.
Everyone
is a fine example of what they are.
Written
on a hidden spot in his front pocket, one man has these words:
“Anything
I think once is brilliant;
anything
I think twice is shit.”
One
man limited his brain’s (meant to say: his son’s) conversations to two
areas: farming and flat-out jokes.
(And:
yes, he did grow up to be just the sort of man you were imagining he would.)
There
is a certain part of the city in which everyone sincerely believes that
everything
is coming-apart.
Question:
How can a mechanical engine have awareness of
the
working of its individual parts?
Answer:
It can’t.
Note:
Yet it does!
Son
Of Note: Yet it seems
to.
The
Kind Of Question That, Pursued Far Enough By The Few,
Will
Make One’s Current State Of Consciousness Uninhabitable.
What
gives with life making man, through the use of a specific area of his brain,
conceive of and construct eye glasses to correct common defects in his
vision
rather
than just physically improving it?
(Investigating
such matters is much more efficient and less popular than
any
course of metaphysical or spiritual study dedicated to acquiring
an
uncommon understanding of things.)
Fact:
You
can stare at reality, the trick is: getting it to stare back at you.
(“Which I’m assuming, you are implying changes the functional nomenclature
of
the word: stare.”)
The
real-deal-knight has but one weapon: his mind;
the
true knight has but one armor: his mind;
he
has but one steed: his mind;
he
has no operational manual save his own mind --
--
and that pretty well covers it.
Portents
Native To The Navel Of The City.
At
street-level: everyone is
their own omen.
(Don’t
forget, boys & girls: Every person is a prime example of what they
are.)
“Pa pa: is this connected to the fact that in the mythic knight’s Round
Table room
are hung two portraits of each one off on The
Great Quest,
and only one of those who completed it?”
“How
much longer in your speech are you going to capitalize terms like:
‘the
great quest?’”
“Knowing you, the answer to that probably is: As long as I still think
about
this uncommon activity of ours in such a metaphysical manner.”
“Sometimes
you make me proud to be thoughts in some man’s head.”
“Me too, Pop -- me too.”
J
One
apparently quite charitable chap notes: “I can certainly agree with much
of what life has to say.”
