An Explanation Of Many Things
In The Unique World Of Man,
Which (Truth Be Told) Have None,
Or, At Most, Need None:

Under the pressures of mortal existence, many people forget things they've done.
They also regret things, and they also forget what it was they did that produced
their regret. This is all you need to know to understand all of man's behavior, and
to realize that all explanations are bullshit and meaningful.
(Unless you're alert and expected to hear "meaningless."
Hey! let's bring on the fog to explain the clouds!
"Pardon me, but did you say 'clods'?")

And in a personal attempt to help resolve the ever-increasing imbalance
between the number of births and deaths, one man made this public statement:
"I may be poor in spirit, but I am even poorer in my bank account."

(Hey, let's bring on the letters to explain the numbers.
"Pardon me, but did you say the DUMBERS?")

And now, from all of this, The Derived Principle:
That which needs explaining, will get explained; nothing needs explaining!

So privately viewed one man:
"We live amidst an unseen conspiracy, and will never be free from our
masters -- all that is possible is to be free of the illusion that we are free."

(Hope he keeps it to himself, huh?)

Since the sole source of man's unique reality is the mind, if you would just
stay permanently aware of the mind, would that not free you from all of the
meaningless entanglements and confusion of that imaginary reality?

Speaking to a man who some had long believed was enlightened, a woman asked
him why he was so reclusive and didn't meet more with the public, and he
replied that whenever he had made himself available to randomly collected
groups they always consisted predominately of the mentally unfit.
And the woman protested, "But I came here to see you."
And the man made no reply.

The speaker declared, "Never trust a man who looks serious."
And from the audience a voice asked, "Does that include your own reflection?"
