Man’s
physical life is composed of a half dozen significant, redoable things;
his
intangible life is made up of a lot of little meaningless things which
he
also reuses incessantly.
(“Isn’t that precious
-- the infinite recycling of
the irrelevant.”)
Life
submits to the Universe
and man submits to Life;
the
nervous-system-rebel however (in a manner indescribable)
resists
some of Life’s
routine demands of man:
doing
so is his special rebellion and source of his singular reward.
In
one land, their health plan is:
If
you can catch it --
you qualify.
(“That somehow sounds strangely familiar?!?”)
“Pa
pa: how can the familiar be strange?”
If
you don’t pay much attention to what you’re doing, you can do more --
not
do better, or necessarily do
more enjoyably,
but
just do more of man’s routine, mindless stuff.
In
the asylum (strapped snugly in the canvas coat with the long sleeves that
wrap
all around) a chap mused:
“Well,
better my arms in a straight jacket than my mind,”
(the
Chief
Of Staff leaned over and whispered:
“We made him say that.”)
And
as you were leaving the patient began singing:
“Oh I wish I was in the land of irony,
old times there could be forgotten,
look away! --
what’d I say,
lost the thought --
what’d I say.”
“Dear
Father: is being-awake
forgetting more or remembering more?”
“Your approach is promising, but you have to take into account what you
might be
specifically referring to when you ponder such a question.”
There
was once a duck who held warm memories of his childhood,
but
had released those concerning al'Oranging.
(“It’s my life:
I can do that,” said the quacker.)
After
experiencing yet more unexpected actions and outcomes in his life,
one
man took a full breath survey of himself and said:
“I
am proving to be the kind of person I never
warned me about.”
(“Precious pater: might being-enlightened
be knowing beforehand what you are,
and if that be so then
-- what the fuck is going on?!
A person struggles mightily for many years and the pay off is that!
Yikes!”
“Nice
one, but ‘Yikes!’
would be a sentiment expressed only by those who’ve never
had
the experience and seen things [including man] as they are,
[although
its significance is that of goose piss].
Going
to Googieville
doesn’t mean anything
-- except to someone who goes
there.”
“And most people have no interest in going there, huh?!”
“I
started to reply: ‘You tell me,’ but what a superfluous comment that would
be.”
In
one place: Things speak for themselves;
fact:
They do every where --
but in some places, well....let’s just say that
in
some places the inhabitants suffer a certain hearing problem.)
On
one world: things got all confused!
--
but no one ever noticed! --
in fact:
it
was an out of towner who had to make up the word: confused
for them.
(“Look here my good man: write me out a ticket to that place --
and
there will be a
nice tip in it for you if you do not inquire into my reasons for wanting
to go there.”)
Then
to seal the deal and finalize the transaction, he handed the travel agent
his
Amygdalan Distress Card: the one with the slogan:
“Takes
You Everywhere You Don’t Want To Go”)
“Profound Progenitor: Could it be said that being-liberated
is the
finalization of all
intangible transactions?”
“If
that doesn’t describe Googieville
-- nothing will.”
Regarding
Royal Responsibilities.
The
king is charged with controlling competition --
particularly in the ideas market.
No
ruler worthy his title aids in his own overthrow:
if
life were deposed --
who would replace it?
If
your natural born thoughts can be
replaced --
who would so avail their self
(speaking
of course, to the rebellious few).
The
independent minded have a certain advantage
--
about
which ordinary men have no knowledge --
nor interest.
(“It’s sort of fun-silly,
having access to a super delicious duck dish
that appears on no one’s menu, but which I found just laying out here by
the pond,
completely in the open,” said a chap with dopamine sauce dripping down
his chin.)
To
awaken and emerge from man’s common, collective dreamy state
requires
you to have a totally new and different view:
one
that is available only at the rim of yours and everyone else’s
presently
perceived reality:
it
requires a walking up to the very edge of a great, unbounded black abyss
that
starts where all you presently know ends:
it
is a facing of the apparent infinity of man’s inner universe:
a
place ordinary men have no desire to go, and in fact are made to feign
ignorance of.
(At
the brink of one such immense abyss someone hung a banner:
“If
This Is Not The Funniest Sight You’ve Ever Seen --
What
Are You Doing Here.”)
The
Choices:
You
can sit in your cell and ignore your captivity;
