According to one super-duper super secret, life in this universe,
when it wants to delude a race of beings, will make them believe
that planning is a meaningful possibility.

One man used to ask a stranger questions, until he began to suspect
that his inquiries were getting somehow close to the end of what could
be asked about, so he stopped asking. Well, he didn't really stop,
but he'd periodically think about stopping.
(And one man thought, "I already know too much as it is.")

Everything's an illusion,
and the struggle to realize this damn sure is.

One man advises, "Don't bother to say that it's always somethin'."
"In a universe that's alive it is always something.
(This includes your mental universe.)"

There can be a difference in you thinking that you have a mind,
and you thinking that you have thoughts.
A sack of unopened cement is not exactly the same thing
as a sack with a split in it.

A father asked a son: "In such terms as 'the method of Zen,' 'the Sufi
method,' and 'the method of yoga,' which is the funniest word therein,
Zen, Sufi, yoga, or method?"

One day, as he began to remove his trousers, a man thought his pocket had been picked,
but then realized that he had no pocket, and wondered how long this had been the case.

The effort to "get on the right track" has derailed many a train.
