Everyone lives by a stream; a few think about controlling it;
they're known as
"being asleep."

Last Thursday (I believe it was), a man (not too far from here) thought to himself,
"Is it possible to constantly look at something and still never recognize it -- to study
a thing forever and yet never know its true nature?"

And there is this other man (up the road a ways) who asked himself, "Could it be
possible that the very attempt to 'know yourself' is at the core of the frustration of the
few who seek to 'know themselves'?"

(I guess we can only hope that men with such questions continue to keep a
safe distance.)

 

One man studied rats in a maze for years...before realizing there were
No rodents present, and that he'd imagined the maze.
However, in a school not listed in common catalogs, such a man can
graduate with honors.

And now, finally revealed: Where Thought Comes From:
Until you "think" -- there is nothing to think about.

Today's Transparently Spurious Mystical Legend:
A liberated man once said, "Trying to 'achieve liberation' will always cause cramps."

It has been said that the cause of all ignorance is thought, but more comprehensively
put would be that thought initially came about to bring on intelligence; then only later
(in the view of a few) did it produce the opposite.
