Bears Repeating Said:
Freedom without understanding is nothing -- likewise vice versa.

Something that doesn't exist to begin with, and thus lacks any capacity to fulfill real needs, can never somehow be changed or rearranged into anything satisfying.

The true names of man's mentally created Secondary Reality are
Fluctuation,
Vacillation,
Unsteady,
Unpredictable, Capricious,
Whimsical, and Nonexistent,
and only fools (and other forms of ordinary minds) treat it otherwise.

"But," complains and whines a man, "I want to see 'Truth' and 'Reality.'"
Very well, sir, come right over here and look -- they are both written out
right here on this very page.
See! -- look, there they are: "T-r-u-t-h" and "r-e-a-l-i-t-y" -- now you've seen 'em.

Okay! -- Let's Diagram The Problem:
You're only confused when you wander;
only thoughts wander.

(Okay, wasn't much of a diagram, but wasn't much of a problem.)

Another Conversation Overhead...(Or Overheated?):
"Some people only experience human life collectively."
"And who are these people?"
"Everyone, save the awakened."

Since when you "understand" something you neither like nor dislike it,
And since thought is based entirely on the two concepts -- you see where this leads?

Some claim that the only words God's ever spoken to man are "I am what I am."
Which (curiously enough) are the very words (should they say them to themselves)
that could do them the most good.
