Under routine conditions: A king under siege is stronger still.
(File this under: Mental Stabilization.....or maybe: Insanity Avoidance.....or perhaps: Tie Me Kangaroo Down.)
The reason that everyday aggressive people don’t turn into mythical warriors
is they always attack areas of no significance  -- but which, after being assaulted, assume an unwarranted appearance thereof.
The Dragon was a nobody until St. George showed up and took him on.
Life doesn’t have to worry about the possibility of men discovering the secret
as long as it can keep them looking in the wrong places.
(Also: your congenital mind will remain a routine non entity  --
unless you turn up something fresh in your brain with a sword in its hand.)
 
 

If.
If it does not bother you that all of life  –  including man’s mind  –
operates automatically  –  then you are normal;
if it does not bother you that all of life  –  including man’s mind  –
operates automatically  –  then you do not realize that it does;
if it does not bother you that all of life  –  including man’s mind  –
operates automatically  –  then it could be that you have realized it, can remember it, and have ignited in your own brain a mind beyond  that automatic mind.
    (“That’s some mighty big ifs.”
“Yeah, but we’ve some mighty big brains.”
     “Yeah, bigger’an any of us’ll ever use.”
“Speak for yourself, little john.”)
 

    Ever since man’s first thought,
    each succeeding one has come on the premise
    that it will help clarify the preceding ones.

    On Donner!  –  on Blitzen!
    on frontal lobes  --
    you jokesters and tricksters!
 
 

How To Never See Anything That Might Get You In Trouble.
Only look at the thoughts that automatically appear in your consciousness,
(and in the mouths and minds of others.)
 
 

After extensive efforts: one man was able to think of more than one thing at a time --
but he noticed that whenever he got up to three, his mind would suddenly fall captive
of one of them and he would lose all awareness of what he had been doing.
Seems in the city that a man can walk one dog  –  maybe even two  –
but beyond that it’s like the warden calls: “Lock down! --
everyone back in your cell  –   NOW!”
“Pa pa: how does anyone ever accomplish what we’re wanting to?”
    “That’s how come those who do never talk about it.”
(The elder stared at the lad until he finally grunted like he understood   [which he didn’t.])
 
 

All the cars passing men’s mental houses can be equally sticky,
thus are all of their selected efforts to free their dog therefrom doomed to failure.
The corn in your crib is not the hindrance  --  but rather the fact that it fills it up.
A farmer without a barn with empty areas can never grow anything  –
not new, interesting and differently nutritional he can't.
 
 

A man said to a physician: “It seems to me that the practice of medicine
has got to have of all professions the greatest potential for burn out, inasmuch as everyone who comes to see you professionally has a problem they want you to solve.  The pressure must eventually become brutal."
The doctor thought on this for a moment, then said:
“But then again: everyone from plumbers to mechanics are in the same position:
when you ply any trade, all of your business activity is dedicated to solving some problem that another human being has:
ergo the pressure you noted is experienced across quite a large board,”
an observation that caused them both to fall into silent reflection  –
until a kid who’d overheard the exchange injected:
“Every example you mentioned concerned problems which have a physical reality,
but how about the whole otherwise area of intangible human concerns,
and those whose attention is devoted thereto: priests, psychiatrists,
spiritual and psychological advisors of all stripes;
would not the pressure on them be even greater  –  in that they are attempting to   redress vexations whose only existence is in the complainant's words?”
And this comment spurred a passing dog to muse:
“Then how about the man who knows what is going on and is willing to talk about it
to others who are interested  –  where is the pressure in that scene?”
Just think: until man and his consciousness came along: hormones had to suffer
the pressures of being alive in silence.....which probably accounts for their
truncated life span.....which coincidentally is the same as that of neurons.
Biology's strangle hold (if it in fact has one) on psychology will never be fully grasped as long as the only sounds heard are of psychology gagging.
(Pst! –  this is why the nervous-system-rebel establishes his own private internal, neural phone service.)
 
 

Whenever this one guy finds his mind back on automatic ramble,
he runs around inside his consciousness shouting: “Code blue! –  code blue!”
