As believed by certain ancient people:
there is a magical number that explains everything,
but fittingly enough, the number and its power cannot be put into words.
(“It's just as well they are long gone, or they would be faced with modern man’s
total dismissal of anything not reducible to verbal description;
this is how humanity was able to get beyond the world of mythical gods & dragons.”
    “How so?”
“By saying that they have.”)
Mind is the supreme package of doctor and patient in one;
no need for anyone to leave the room for further reflection or consultation
for the complaint to be registered and the diagnosis made;
if an engine doesn’t know what’s wrong with the carburetor  –  who will?!
    “But isn’t it possible for mind to be given too much credit?”
By whom?
 
 

Things spoken of critically cannot be changed;
matters described as broken can never be fixed.
(Man’s Wondrous, Intangible Realm of Affairs Spiritual, Artistic and Philosophical.)
 
 

Contra knowledge  –  not ignorance, but: contra knowledge always has its appeal.
(Same as how shadow plays are popular in prisons.)
 
 

The mental condition of would-be city intellectuals can be summed up in the words: Dead  –  but without conviction.



The true mythical king is he who has no foes and can thus never be defeated.
Mere earth bound minds are gravitationally unable to grasp the merit, utility,
and stratospheric grandeur of the tale that sentence tells.
A fruit divided against itself will forever stand.
(True Mythical Parody.)
 
 

One anxious, alert chap traded in all his prayers, dreams, and mystical gizmos
for one dead-on drummer to set the tempo for his personal efforts.
 
 

The mental condition of would-be city sailors can be summed up in the words:
Dead in the water –  but in water that is itself lifeless  –   so!  –

“Three bells and all’s well  –  ya’ll.”



The Determined Man’s Mental Position.
“If I didn’t think it  –  fuck it.”
 
 

Offenses And Malfeasances Of The Head.
The only crime or transgression possible for mind is to remain captive  --
and thus squander its potential.
Note: the squirrelly feature of the certain potential of mind herein continually
alluded to is that with normal humans it is clearly intended to not be acted on.
    (“Even if it is really there, you mean?”
Yes.)
 
 

Everyone received an initial extraordinary education  --  which they have forgotten.
   (“Mentally, you mean?”
Right again.)
 
 

Notes one man: “It’s a good thing that failure to prosecute a talent is not a felony.”
(“Or,” adds his partner, “the collapse of a certain sort of cellular memory.”)
 
 

The mental condition of would-be historians & soothsayers can be summed up
in the words: Dead in the present moment.
    (“You’re really talking about the activity inside one man’s thinking, right?”
How right can right be.)
 
 

A philosopher king tried to entice a chap who many believed understood uniquely
what life is about, into verbal debate by asking:
“Is there any chance you could be wrong in your thinking?”
   “No, because to be so you must first think you are right.”
("All right!  --  hasn't this gone far enough?!")
The nearest thing to wrong doing possible for the certain man’s mind would be for it
to behave as though there IS a: far-enough any where in its thinking.
Only routine thought, driven by instinct to be seen as sane by its peers, fears:
falling-over-the-edge:
the man crazy-hungry to get to the-bottom-of-things however, salivates at the idea.
 
 

Conversation.
“One nifty side to learning that you’re dying is you no longer have to be
concerned about your health.”
    “Does this have its reflection in realizing that you’re living in a dream?”
“Maybe.”
 
 

When his nervous system was really humming,
one guy reminded himself of his favorite childhood sweater.
 
 

From The Non Partisan Dictionary.
Thoughts: The demons of the non religious.
.....(Okay: For everyone of ordinary consciousness.)
 
 

The special enjoyment of having a secret cannot be fully savored
if yours can be discovered by another.
 
 

After his physical needs are met: man looks for entertainment  –
and he looks to his mind  –
since that is the only place TO look.
(Easy to see when noted  –  most difficult to remember later.)
 
 

A shadowy figure visited the prince and inquired:
“Would you betray the king for a castle full of gold?” and he replied:
    “There is no amount of wealth that would turn me traitor to my beloved liege!”
“Would you betray him to be known as the bravest of all warriors?”
    “Nay!” responded the regent.
“Would you betray him in exchange for the reputation of the world’s wisest man?”
    “No,” he answered.
“Then would you betray your sovereign for the sake of you assuming his powers?”
    “Now you’re talking!”
