A
man who for many years had been involved in certain extraordinary activities
regarding consciousness, one day had the ordinary form of his say to him:
“Tell
me this: just what is going to happen if you ever do
untangle and figure me out – where will you be then?”
– but the man was smart enough to recognize
the
siren song of a tar baby when he heard one.
On
certain battle fields in another land, even those already wounded and on
the ground have dread of a further, even worse, non physical injury.
In
city park a chap offers this tip for creatures stuck in earth’s electrical
grid:
“Pay
no attention to info in binary form.”
“But wait a minute,” protested a by passer, “that would necessitate me
not
even listening to my own --
oh my! --
I get what you mean.”
Consciousness
in one man's head said:
“Just
as the best a woman can expect is for her man not to obviously ogle
other
females when she is watching him,
so
is your situation with me.”
(“Screw that!” he muttered under his breath.)
As
satisfied as an ordinary man is by sex
so
too is the certain man by seeing what’s going on.
(Tit for tit.)
Adults
have adult skin but not necessarily adult innards.
Aspiring
to be part of the statistical age one man has announced that by
seventy
three per cent does he approve of his thoughts above anyone else’s.
One
man wrote a book –
he
entitled it: “Why Am I Here?” – then disappeared.
Ordinary
people (not excluding the famous and powerful) love
to be interviewed because it often (at least for just a moment) makes them
realize
just
how great and special they really are.
A
Cheer For Those Imprisoned In The City.
“Those whose feelings have no end,
will surely live to feel again;
if how you feel you cannot say,
you'll live to feel another day.
Push 'em back! --
push 'em back! --
rah, rah, rhoo!
We've got a winner in Episodic U.”
One
of the best laughs that one god had in his part of the universe
was
when one of the creatures in his charge had seventy thousand of his
peers
show up to see him and he believed that they actually came to see him.
(Backstage
he noted that the guy had all the makings for a god himself
[in
a quite sarcastic tone, it might be noted.])
As
the fight was winding down, one of the combatants, convinced he’d done
his best, shouted to the unappreciative crowd: “I did my best!”
and
the referee whispered to him: “You should’ve told ‘em that earlier.”
Listening
to yourself is not the same as listening to others – unless
you’re normal –
which
means that listening to your own inner words is the same AS listening to
others;
only
the man-who-knows can truly talk to his self.
(Ordinary
people believing that they do are but hearing the impersonal,
random
voice of life intended for the mortal herd.)
One
man wrote unusual ideas -- some were longer than others were
short.
There
is an unknown land where – if a thought is not original
– it is not a thought.
Though
men dream of visiting exotic and elaborate locales, at the base of their
nervous system is the desire for a place that is simple and straightforward,
(only
the certain few however have the desire sufficiently intense to actually
act on it.)
The
ordinary drool over brochures for Lard Land
whilst
secretly longing to pare the fat from their incorporeal bones,
(and
again: none but the nervous-system-rebel strongly enough to take action).
What
men call some of the time is
all of the time –
there
is in fact, nothing but: all the time.
(“Is this why it is so difficult to get anything actually accomplished
in man’s spiritual/cultural milieu?”)
One
man wrote stories in an effort to keep from having to live life,
(another
painted pictures, another talked to god, another composed music,
all
for the same reason).
All
art is a search to find something else to do other than simply live life;
(now
ask yourself):
how
much more so is it with those who work to turn their consciousness into
their art?
If
the Great Metaphysical Adventure
is the: Ultimate Distraction
–
what
does that say about the indigenous attraction of routine existence?
(“I don’t get it: are you speaking for, or against such activity?”
One
man spoke in metaphors least he slip up and accidentally speak plainly.
“Wait! – that is also pertinent to what normally goes
on in my head.
Thanks! – maybe I do now get it.”)
Fact.
Everyone
who wants to get-it
badly enough will
eventually get it.
“Do you know that for a fact?!”
Those
who make up the facts get to define the facts.
“Ah-h-h! – you’re back to talking about congenital consciousness.
You know: if I just kept focused on this I believe that I might finally
catch on –
who knows?! (Plus I’ve got an hour or so before a horse comes
open on the merry go round.)”
When
the prisoner heard the proverb: “He with nothing to lose, lives soundly,”
he
wondered: “Could this possibly be applicable to consciousness?”
J
(A
final word regarding DoingTheThing):
If
your eyes don't instantly brighten and your mouth get full of grin whenever
you think about what you're doing
-- you're not doing it right.
(“Pa pa: is it really possible to do this thing wrong?”
“No, but people enjoy that sort of emphatic verbal ending.”
“Their ordinary consciousness, you mean!?”)
