(Part of an ongoing series, and since this collection still breathes, additions to any particular entry are possible.)

The Aim; The Thing; this-kind-of-activity: To make consciousness conscious of
itself and its heritage. (There is a blunter description, but one with which few consciousnesses are taken.)

AMv12: An allegorical substance in the blood representing a variety of activities
of which men normally take no account;
it also symbolizes the enriched fuel needed for a person to ever push their consciousness above its normal level and achieve The Aim.

Awake; Enlightened; Liberated: Consciousness in a state temperamentally
unnatural for you.

Adits: Metaphorical locations in man’s nervous system; three in particular wherein AMv12 is depleted: at the first point it is used in maintaining the physical health of the body, at the second it is used to fuel ordinary emotions (guilt, anger, self-pity,
and the rest of the list), and at the third spot it is extracted by the excitement of ordinary knowledge, and it is here in the mind, where standard men do not recognize the unity of all apparently antipodal ideas  --
where is lost the last drop of this substance, needed to awake: AMv12.

The Act: The ordinary life of ordinary men (also called: Life-in-the-city) wherein no one knows what thought they will next have, nor what they will next say,
yet the collective intangible life of humanity proceeds a tempo as though
thoroughly scripted and with no conscious planning nor awareness necessary
on man’s (the actors’) part.

The Act Variation: The certain man’s method of turning his attention from his
inner voices to those of others outside of him as a reminder-jog
not to be simply a passive part of the overall Act.

Action & Thinking Of Action: (1) Humans are unique in that they can act and
think about acting; the consciousness of ordinary men commonly confuses the two,
but for the rebel, they are two distinct things: one, always in order.
(2) A King who thinks & talks when action is needed, is impotent,
and unfit to rule.
The rebel’s goal is to bring the generals and the infantry (those who plan & those who act) into an interchangeable balance.
True frustration for the certain man is in the difficulty of merging:
thinking-of-doing The Thing  --  with doing it.

Action & The Non-Thinking-Of-Action Boost: A trick to combat the normal gravitational pull of intangible dissatisfaction: You either act in some manner on what bothers you, or you stop thinking about it:
either do something or stop thinking about doing something.

The Conscious Act: The willful behavior of a man with that special aim,
based on the fact that faking profitable behavior is profitable,
and profitable behavior being any that is not natural and habitual;
it is doing and saying that which you are not by temperament inclined to do.

Adulthood:The natural inner movement toward an institutionalized existence
and method of learning;
the final and complete acceptance of civilized life and city thinking.

Age Of Responsibility: When you discover and see clearly for yourself
the omnipresent reality of The Act and the helplessness of ordinary people;
then you become responsible for what you say to them & your interactions therewith.

Allegory:Things men either don’t understand or can’t face.

Aggression (Conscious): The intentional, controlled use of a certain chemistry-of-internal-behavior which a man with The Aim good naturedly turns on
his own automatic-consciousness as a practical affront to his tendency for complacency & comfort, where they equal: boredom, acceptance of things as they are, and non-growth.

Apparently: A word representing the glasses through which ordinary consciousness views life, and which a nervous-system-rebel should whisper to his self as a preface
to everything coming from his ordinary mind: he reminds his self that
however it says things are is apparently true.
In this standard state: the facts do not speak for themselves, and the certain man needs constantly remind his self of this.

Arranged Marriages: In the upper classes & royalty the matter of love and personal preferences play no part in this civil coming together;
in the nervous-system-rebel an arranged marriage is between one’s Aim
and one’s self; your coming together is with your own revolutionary evolution;
and in you (same as in the outside physical world) it is only those of the lower class who whine and go on about their preferences for a particular partner;
about their individual tastes and likes;
but the rabble have no taste nor preferences that signify anything meaningful.
The certain man is a willful party to an Arranged Marriage  –
he marries his self and becomes one.

Audio-Philophic Allusion: Audiophiles believe the best sound reproduction is a straight-wire-with-gain, e.g. no filters, no enhancements, hence no distortion;
the certain man’s thinking can be likened to a direct  reception and processing of information, with no distortion, no ambient noise, no boosters, no limiters or muters; what goes in is what the rebels’ consciousness receives; untranslated, uninterrupted.

Bad News Syndrome: The impression natural to automatic-consciousness that: “Things are going to hell!”  An indirect manifestation of Life’s own sensation that neither it nor man are ever accomplishing enough.
(You sometimes feel that you’re pretty much alone and have it tough, but picture Life looking around the vastness of this Universe and being faced with the fact:
“I’ve got no one but me.”
Ultimately however, for the certain few struggling for The Aim:
this very same attitude proves a real boon.)

The Bell Curve (Special Edition): (1) Everything in Life falls within the well known
Bell Curve, but not so well observed is that as Life grows on this planet,
it becomes more homogenous and enriches itself via mankind collectively
by gradually pulling its extremes into the heart of the Curve.
(2) Select individuality produces technical innovations conducive to extended life;
after that: uniformity allows the masses to enjoy it.
(Same deal is running in your consciousness.)

Belief:Reliance on something for which you have no proof;
if you believe, you also – not-believe, and that does not equal real intelligence,
or thought.
Whatever you believe that you’re thinking about some matter  –  you’re not.

The Circuits (Red, Blue & Yellow): Analogous to the body, the emotions,
and the intellect. (Also metaphorically as manifested by: motion, heat & light.)

Churning Your Account: A broker's unethical practice of continually trading
your account simply to generate commissions for him;
Life churns everyone's account  –   for its profit,
so that all extant energies are traded and transformed and thus everything that
Life needs to be done  --  gets done.
(Employing The Bad News Syndrome is one way Life keeps your account churned; even when things are going well there is always the feeling of bad news
lurking just behind you.)
This keeps the city vibrant and vital, but does nothing to aid a man with The Aim;
