You
are not a true rebel and independent thinker if you still think of your
ideas as
a
minority position: a special voice of sanity in man’s mental wilderness,
for
to do so requires that you see humanity’s majority views of life as being
dangerously in error --
which marks you as just another routine dunce.
The
way to always tell if your ideas are even worse than merely wrong
is
that you feel they alone are necessary to (if not save life on this planet)
to
set man back on his proper path.
To
know that your thinking is correct and everyone else’s is not
is
to unwittingly realize that you’ve been duped;
you’re
still just dreaming
that you know that you’re dreaming.
Hormones
vs. Neurons.
Every
time the farmer kills another wolf in his corral he says:
“That
will send a clear message to other wolves, and potential cattle killers
that
we won’t put up with this type of unacceptable behavior.”
(The
full headline of this should have read:
A
Little Humor Concerning: Hormones vs. Neurons.)
Mused
a guy to himself:
“One
neat thing about trying to get-to-the-bottom-of-things is that in so doing
you
reach a place where you no longer need anyone else to tell you:
What
kind of guy you are --
no! --
wait, it’s even better:
you
no longer have any interest
in hearing anyone tell you.”
Man
lives by the dual forces of needs and wants,
and
is composed of physical feelings and intangible thoughts;
his
needs are in the camp of feelings (hunger, thirst, etc)
while
his wants are thought based;
the
two can parallel one another, or be in conflict,
they
can even appear to be unconnected:
this
is the illusion at the center of what men’s minds see when asleep and dreaming.
To
be awake to what is really going on with life is to not labor under the
sensation that there is a separation between your needs and wants.
To
physically survive: everyone must first be an unthinking lion;
to
live as a fully functioning human: you must also hear the voice of an inner
nightingale, with dreams of glory as a singer;
you
must have both to be normal and civilized;
you
have to privately understand the above to be abnormal and awake.
Just
he says, for a chuckle, this guy named Carter
calls his life: The Carter Effect.
An
everyday partisan mind, by its very construct, will eventually turn belligerent.
There
can be no physical peace in the jungle --
not so long as the area is thriving, which is to say, as long as the creatures
there are eating;
there
can also be no mental or emotional peace in the city --
not
as long as that particular part of man is alive and well,
which
also requires that the inhabitants consume nourishment, in this instance
by
the resistance-to, and rejection-of the ideas and feelings of their neighbors.
You
can’t make an omelet without breaking some chicken farmers,
and
you can’t develop that extraordinary promising, unused area in your mind’s
market
place without first overturning the pushcarts already there which handle
naught
but pre-owned ideas and emotions.
In
his twenties, one man offered his ideas to any who were interested at
pre-development
prices.
The
collective thinking life primarily pursues through ordinary man is,
from
the rebel’s perspective, morbific because of its innate and incurable infection
by
self-interest, (more accurately
posed): the infection of the impression that
the
thoughts which appear in your brain were put there by you, and thus,
you
do have a personal interest to defend them.
Being
asleep (nee: stupid) won’t kill you,
but
trying to protect Ali Baba’s
cave can.
Those
with no idea of what waking-up really is commonly believe
it
has something to do with being sympathetic and helping others.
(Believe
it if you can: some people do not want
to be referred to the:
You
Mean It’s Entirely About Me department.)
To
protect the city’s stability, life does not have to prohibit any ideas
that might
actually
reveal to man what is really going on:
what
life has done is programmed men’s minds not to hear such notions as being
anything important.
The
normal horses who keep the city running, charge unthinking from the firehouse
when they hear the bell ring (just as they should and must),
the
same situation also sends the certain man into action: studying the bell
ringing.
Ideas And The Passing Of Time.
On some day’s one man's attitude is: “The future can bite my ass.”
Defending your ideas is painting a sieve.
The certain man recognizes that his biggest debt is to the future.
Protesting the ideas of others is letting the air out of your balloon.
One man watches the clock, he says, “In retaliation.”
Trying to get others to adopt your ideas is lying to an ugly child about his looks.
On some day’s one man's attitude is: “The future can still
bite my ass.”
A
speaker in city park, commenting on the eternal struggle between Truth
& Error, roared: “There will be
no smart alecks in heaven.....not unless your side wins.....
.....or
does the other."
Words
And The Objects From Whence They Cometh.
In
face to face conversations, even as he spoke and listened,
one
man would be diagramming heads in his sentences.
After
a lifetime of disorienting uncertainty, who but ordinary minds, when finally
told
their true position would be upset by it --
even if it turned out to be a prison cell;
to
the certain man who knows the special way to use thinking:
all
new info acts as a spur for more thinking
-- never suffering.
Amidst
a lingering fatal illness one man mused:
“It’s
weird being half dead and half alive,” and some virus in his brain added:
“Almost
as weird as being half awake and half asleep.”
In
city minds: some things are weirder than others,
but
outside of town is something that is weirder than everything
else!
Sometimes
after a solo meal, wherein he had engaged in much mental business
with
himself, as he would stand to leave, one man would say to himself:
“Have
your mind call mine (assuming that you
have one).
Ta ta!”
Conversation
Regarding: Harmful Ideas.
“Life
doesn’t have harmful ideas.”
“Sure it does: look at all the pain and destruction certain ideas have
caused man.”
“A
plane flying causes stress --
sometimes even breakage to the rivets.”
Partisan
words and ideas are condoms to use for safe city thinking.
One
fellow never looked in mirrors, explaining:
“No
need --
I KNOW I’m my-kinda-guy!”
The
intellectually captive love to extol education and knowledge:
“I
may not understand where the idea for the airplane originated,
but
I have reams of figures regarding our study of its construction.”
Whatever
is passing for knowledge in the city is whatever presently needs to.
Before
you can out think others --
you have to out die them.
One man’s pet name for the city is: Iffy-ville.
Before
you can out think all things useless --
you have to out live them.
