Thinking is a distortion in the mirror of consciousness.

Waking up in an unusually exuberant mood, a man shouted out,
"What a wonderful world!"
Then, as he popped out of bed, cried out, "Talk to me, life!"
But alas, it was conditions who answered.

Compared to thinking, how do you spell "consciousness"?
Unfettered,
unconditional,
independent,
untouchable,
unattached,
liberated, and happy as hell -- that's how you spell consciousness.

The South Side "Surefire Test"
If you have anything serious left to say, you still don't get it.
That is, no matter how much you know, no matter how charmingly
you can express it, you still don't know what's going on.

 

One man had a pack of wild, noisy dogs that lived around his house, and
after years of unsuccessfully attempting to tame and quiet them, he hit on
the tactic of bringing them into the house, thus turning conditions into
life, and settling the whole affair.

Consciousness, Thinking, And Conversation:
You can either drink filth --
spew filth --
or wash your mouth out (so to speak).
