The
mayor took a visitor out on a balcony overlooking the city,
and
with a sweep of his arm declared: “Behold! A creature that continually
speaks wiser than it actually knows,” and when the guest asked who that
might be he replied:
“The
people my friend: the automatic consciousness of the brain.”
Second
Version.
The
mayor took a visitor out on a balcony overlooking the city,
and
with a sweep of his arm declared: “Behold! A creature that knows
more
than
it knows,” and when the guest asked who that might be he replied:
“The
inchoate people my friend: the undeveloped neurons of consciousness.”
All
of this caused one man to reflect:
“Just
think how wondrous we would be if we knew no more than
ordinary
consciousness yet could operate as efficiently as does it.”
“But we do.”
“Damn
– you’re right.”
(Both
the speakers then puzzled over the significance of what they’d concluded.)
“The
difference between us and everyone else,” said the certain man to his son,
“is
that they take life personally, and we take only our self so.”
“The pursuit thereof, you mean.”
Hiroshimaomundo.”
Self-reference
can cover up and make up for a lot;
self-reference
has
to cover up and make up for a lot
since
what it purports to represent damn near doesn’t exist.
Moral
As Applicable This View Of Self-Reference:
Where
there’s smoke there IS not fire.
A
man with clear preferences in matters intangible is clearly dense.
“In
the city if you are considered an intellectual – you’re
a grave robber.”
“What if you’re just an ordinary thinker?”
“You
still qualify.”
One
man changed his calendar so that every day was Friday.
(His
brother on the other hand made all of his days Mondays,
which
the man totally could not understand.)
“There
are two things absolutely required to ever achieve enlightenment: number
one: have no ambition (in the common sense of the word) and number two:
always
pretend that you know what you’re doing.”
“But what if you only can do one of them?”
“Well......fake
the other one.”
In
The
Great Struggle: the side sure to lose
amuses itself by continually & pointlessly moving about troops, supplies,
and unwitting disinformation.
In
the world of man’s inner reality the substitute for success is always:
busy
work.
(“Couldn’t another word be used there besides, ‘substitute’?”)
Talk’s
Relationship to Hormones & Neurons.
‘Tis
safer to misspeak in the library than the boudoir.
(“Beg
pardon my dear, did I just step on your tongue?”)
Humor
makes some laugh – and a few think.
The
ole man told a neighbor’s son who’d wandered into his yard:
“The
way to keep from ever becoming a neural rebel is to believe that you
already
know quite enough.....(or that it’s not possible to.....or somethin’ like
that),” which befuddled the youngster enough to drive him home,
and
stirred another chap to comment:
“Jeeze!
– who would want to live next door to a nervous system rebel!”
“Well – I might,” injected another voice, to which the
first one responded:
“How
many times must I tell you: Don’t talk to yourself.”
Definition.
Ordinary
Consciousness: Closed circuit television without tv ownership.
Humor
makes some smile – and others grimace.
Non
Standard Neighbor News.
There’s
a place you can stand in your yard that is unusually
close
to life’s.
Conversation.
“From
time to time: men may err.”
“Who told you that?”
“That
man over there.”
Humor
frightens some.
Efficiency
For Captives.
Reading
in the dark can save a lot of time.
The
warden announced that prisoners had their choice of either feet or head
warmers.
No
matter where or who you are: there also are hormones & neurons.
Commonly
do common minded men speak of humans being eternally flawed
rather
than humans being forever human.
Without
never ending disputes over things intangible,
man’s
unique inner world could not exist.
(“The warden is
your friend [as is the Mayor, the King, and High Priest].”
“Who had you tell me this?”
“Guess.”)
A
scant few smile at the guards: those who recognize them for who they are.
A man who leaves no foot prints either: has no feet,
J
(In
lieu of a daffodil field, one man frolicked through his own consciousness.)
