Once upon a time, a mirror looked at itself and asked:
"Do I look familiar to you?"

 

On one world appeared a certain phenomenon which in some circles was
accepted as being of supreme importance!
Only thing was, these circles were made up entirely of the phenomenon itself.

Right after his daily lecture, the head of a mystical school said to one of
the young monks, "You remain far from enlightenment if you still find talk
about it interesting."

And after a perplexing pause, the monk replied, "But that can't be true!"
And the mystic said, "If it makes sense to you it can."

And for thousands of years afterwards, whenever particularly perceptive men
would hear this story told, to a man their immediate and common reaction
would be, "Damn!"

And now, just for fun, a final little quiz game for the people here today.

Question: What is the worst thought you can ever have?
Answer: That it is you having the thought.

Okay,
What's an even worse thought to have?
Answer: That it is you wanting to awaken.

So, how'd you like it? And everyone said, "Damn!"
(Don't chu jus' love it?)
