One man's motto was:
"Don't just live your life, but witness it also."

After much searching, one man finally tossed his flashlight into a canyon,
and could then see much better.

Amidst a discussion 'tween a smart man and a dumb one, one of them said:
"Ah-h-h, but only if suicide were possible!"
And the other one didn't have the vaguest idea what he was talking about.

A man went to the king and said, "Help me, Sire, I fear that I am becoming mentally ill."
To which his excellency replied, "You coming to see me certainly supports such a possibility."

Why cannot the mind conceive of itself via such circumstances?
Because one flow of energy cannot bow down to itself,
except under conditions wherein it imagines it can.
"Which are?" -- (nice you asked) the conditions prevailing in the routine throne room of the mind.

Then (based on this unexpected turn in common stock prices) one man asked,
"How comes it that the supreme ruler of a land cannot with his own self communicate?"
And the answer to that one can cause "brokers-from-windows" to fly, not drop.

Questions and answers,
questions and answers,
does anyone here have any
low-fat mayonnaise with them?

Oh, a note just in from a man mentioned in an earlier story, the guy with the motto about witnessing your life and not just living it. He wants to add this insistence (says he),
"Be an active witness, an alert, 'real-time' objective witness, not merely a casual, after-the-fact reconstructive reminiscer."
"A man with his inner eyes closed to himself will live a life in the dark, in a dream, and forever foreign to anything he understands."
You can study anything that you want to, but without the knowledge of a certain thing, the study of all else leads to but relative results -- conditional successes (as it were), which the flaccid mind accepts as a tolerable, synonymous cover for continued inconclusiveness (which is to say, failure).
"And a simple, effective weapon with which to combat this condition is always available to you: be a witness to your life. Don't just 'live it,' witness you living it, and let nothing therein distract you there from."

One man had a bell implanted in his head;
within a short period of time his head nicely absorbed the bell.

Anyone still operating in the belief that they are smarter than their head
hasn't yet begun to start operating.
