Notice:
Your mind is like a wish-granting genie -- whatever you want,
it'll provide.

One day a man thought to himself, "If I could behave like a more conscious man,
would I then be more conscious?"

But pretty quickly thought in response, "Naw, 'cause I'd still know what was
going on inside me."

One day the priest of buzzards told the birds, "If you guys are lookin' for justice,
you should be talkin' to your intestinal bacteria."

Yes, sir, you can count on it! It's always a matter of scale...unless
you're an anorexic elephant.

Trying, as men are wont to say, to "overcome yourself" is like
tying knots in your garden hose to stop the fall of rain.

How can a man expect to "overcome himself" if he doesn't actually
Understand what he refers to when he speaks of his "self," and even
if it exists, what be its source?

"Ignore all that balderdash, me hearties, and knot them hoses 'fore the rain
drowns us all!"

Past a certain "something-or-other" (some indistinct combination of place and experienced life
[aka time]) the continued seeking of knowledge becomes antithetical to being satisfied.
Such a thing as this only makes sense to those already weaned of their addiction to knowledge.

 

Another Example Of One Of Those "Little Things" That
The Minds Of Ordinary Men Care (Evidently) Not To Know:
Those who deal in good and evil
will, finally, evil do.

(One more of those "can't-be-avoided" laws.)
