Stories From Indeterminable Times

Ordinary people (those who don’t understand what’s going on)
seriously and unwittingly tell fantastic tales whenever they speak;
they also listen to themselves tell them, and thereafter take them to be true.
 
 
 

More Of Man’s Commonly Expressed Sensations Updated.
The inner-rebel feels neither worthy nor unworthy.
No matter what you say about it, a rock remains a rock;
only in man’s mental-world does reality appear manipulatable by words.
The man-who-comprehends does not step into a fire without first
recognizing the presence of fire.
 
 
 

The Lap Is Always The First To Go.
Not being able to get blood from a turnip still does not give one leave to
choke a chicken who’s just had prune juice.
 
 
 

Said a father to a son:
“Some times only the certain-man himself can make sense of his thinking.”
    “I guess that’s why everyone must wake-up for their self!?”
“Gin.”
 
 
 

Though there are no ideas or teachings that a man should live-by,
Life makes men believe otherwise.
(Can you imagine what Life might have to confess to a psychiatrist
if it ever entered analysis.
    “That was just a joke  –  right!?”
Right.)
 
 
 

Zoological News.
When a wolf howls, it wants to hear a howl in return.
    (“I knew that  –  right!?”
I'm sure you did.)
 
 
 

Now Some News Of The, Totally-Unrelated-To-Anything Sort.
To his self, one man noted: “I can think ‘em up as fast as I can digest ‘em.”
 
 
 

Conversation.
 “Which is larger: the Universe or man’s mind?”
     “I give.”
“Man’s mind.”
    “What makes you say that?”
“Because we don't know if the Universe ever thinks about the size of man’s mind.”
At odd times, some would-be rebels almost get-it   --  then it suddenly slips away.
Real men on this odd quest never give up  --  no matter what.
 
 
 

So surmised one guy: “Taken as a whole, I seem to be a sandwich;
with my perceived me being what’s in the middle.”

Commonplace people always want to hear what others have said about them.
    (“How come they have all the fun!”)
 
 
 

To the certain-man, the lesson of a specific event is the lesson of all events.
Where the ordinary see a few pebbles of gravel,
the man-who-knows sees a fully paved highway.
 
 
 

A Dialogue.
“The body runs on food; the mind, myths.”
    “Myths!  –  really?”
“Not really; the mind runs on nothing  –  on thin air.”
    “Is that not neat  (if not  downright bewildering).”
“Probably.”
 
 

Once you know-what's-going-on, you no longer need a dictionary.
 
 
 

More About The Mortal Drama.
As a last ditch maneuver, one man tried to get non-commercial sponsorship for his life.
 
 
 

Health News.
The dead have no digestive problems.
 
 
 

One guy and his talking-consciousness like to tell people that they went from
a small-time, local operation of no particular significance,
to a world-wide telecommunications giant.
    (Look up braggadocio in the dictionary and see if a picture of your mind doesn’t appear
     next to the definition.)
 
 

There is no feed-back to the truth.




Dilettante rebels await the Bird Of Enlightenment to fly up their nose;
the real outlier can afford to wait on nothing.
    (No matter the current conditions, he understands: “Gotta keep walking.”)
 
 
 

Question presented to the class:
“In what ways do the awakened resemble the dead?”
 
 
 

Even the man-who-knows can't truly tell you how he got from there to where he is.
 
 

The dead don’t lie.
 
 
 

More Concerning: The Grand Irrationality Of This Journey.
When you stop walking  –  that's when the highway ends.

Granted: It can be difficult to determine where a dead man is pointing.
