You should plan to make your very first thought of each day something at total variation with your current thinking on some matter.

         Wake up being you  -- 
         and sleep is on the way.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Life is not only more complex than your thoughts think that it is,
but more simplistic as well.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There is something that an alert man can listen to --
--  besides himself and others.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man says:
“There is never anything interesting about 
people who want you to be interested in them.”
…(his brother has a similar attitude toward those
in his own head.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Everyone has a ringing in their ears  --
a slick man doesn’t answer it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There is one cure for all human problems;
realizing the nature of problems.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When you want to know something  --
nothing will substitute.
When you want to know something  --
you can’t be satisfied not knowing it.
When you want to know something  --
you can drive yourself bonkers searching for it.
When you want to know something  --  know this:
whatever it is,
it is simply something that somebody else made up.

     Once you understand this,
      there is nothing else for you to want to know.
 

There are only two books in the universe:
“The National Inquirer”, and
“Farming & Carpentry.”
Therein is everything everybody else wants to know.

(P.S. both are also published in your head.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When he first set off,
one man’s view was:
“Life is too uncertain.”

Later it became:
“Life is too certain.”

And ultimately:
“Thinking about life makes me 
too uncertain as to its nature,”
and with that, he forgot about it,
and stumbled into a bright place.
 
 
 
 
 
 

A Tip Regarding Photo Finishing:
One night a son complained to his father:
“I can’t go to sleep,”
      “Quit trying,” he replied,
and suddenly the boy finally got the picture.

….(as always, in Baltic waters,
“finishing” is the key word.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There is a secret that everyone knows,
and no one ever mentions.

Knowing it gives everyone deep satisfaction,
while not talking about it, bothers them.

The secret is what drives the universe,
not talking about it is what drives man.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

As he stood before the monumental structure,
(a church/parliament/university bldg.),
the words of his often late father appeared in his ears:
“The more useless the merchandise  –
the greater the promotion.”

….(his sister recently had the same thought 
regarding her thoughts.)
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man reminded his son:
“Being asleep doesn’t kill people  --
trying to wake up does,”
(a fact of great comfort to us all.
…well, at least to those with some idea of what 
this sort of thing is really all about.

    One guy’s motto was:
     “Give me freedom, or else
       the ability to stop thinking about it.”
       (He’s on the right track.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In no truly heroic story does one force prevail over another.
The finale to a clear-headed man’s tale is never told.

        A hero with an entourage 
        is a blind eye on a bad potato.

        One man had this one thought that he thought
         was Enlightened, compared to all his others.

          And a son complained to his father:
          “I can’t wake up,”  and he replied:
          “Then try to be as asleep as possible  --
            --   same result.” 
 

           Most people standing before impressive 
           man made structures 
           won’t understand this….
           ….they’re too busy being artificially impressed.

           (One boy understood how this works also
            in his cerebral cortex.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Those still on a blind date with their life
have the attitude that says:
“What’s the use in having new shoes if it doesn’t rain.”

These are the same sort of people who expect to be fussed over when they die.
Did they fuss over themselves when alive?
     Does no one have an interest in the art of 
     reverse embalming.

     Stingy people fret over living;
      weak people over dying,
      and one man said:
      “If you ever see me fretting,
        shoot me with a cheap pistol.
         …..and aim for the brain.”

          And a son asked his father:
          “Why do all the paths to enlightenment
           speak much about the mind,
            and none about the brain?”
            to which he responded:
            “Those with ears for movie stars
             don’t want to hear about crop rotation.”
 

              And every morning,
              immediately upon arising,
              one man would plant a whole new field --
              even before his foot touched the floor.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And every time just before he would again leap nude
from a high, desolate structure,
one man would sing:
“I am not a scientist;
I am not a poet;
I am not here,
neither am I there;
I am not awake and neither am I un-awake.
       Who am I?” he’d shout
                                 as he jumped.
