Here, have a seat and I’ll bring you up to date on that
special kinda news that interests us, 
and eludes everyone else.
 
 
 
 
 

First some travel news:
A road that seems to GO somewhere
doesn’t go anywhere.

Many a would-be traveler has thus been fooled into
wasting his life. 

There is a box within a box;
one small closed system operating within a
larger closed system
with an eye on its overthrow --
   but just because something can be pictured
   doesn’t mean the print will be developed.

   As witnessed by the way the herd lives its life,
   “Everyone knows their place” 
   even though they’ll look confused, 
   and pretend they don’t.

    All it takes to be ordinary, confused & in a dream
     is to pretend that you are not.

   (In more advanced universes 
    there are laws against cows trying to 
    fool one another.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Those who believe in gravity,
and those who do NOT believe in gravity,
both believe in
gravity.

Men whose consciousness & understanding is limited to just the thoughts that naturally pop up
in their heads 
never know the reality of this,
nor suspect its floor to ceiling consequences.

An ordinary man who denies a 
certain thought’s existence
helps sustain it –
this is why universities HAVE see saw teams,
and heathens scalp tickets to christians 
outside the colosseum.

You are as asleep as the number of ideas you
do not agree with.
…combined with those with which you do.

Rumor says there was once a chap so dense that he
believed that “achieving enlightenment” would raise him above other people  --
…rather than its reality, which is to rescue a man from
floundering about in such vacuous concepts as,
“other people.”

There is only one kind of person in the world;
the thoughts in your head  --  AND
what they SAY about other persons.

Every time he would see a drawing of the hemispheres of the brain
this one guy would always think of a two man saw.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Now, some financial news.
If you can talk about it –
it’s not worth talking about.
 

And now: The hog futures.
Men form secret societies because they 
know nothing worth KEEPING secret. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

On one world were creatures who believed that reality
has its own separate and distinct life apart from what
goes on in it.
If you adopted such a view --  just ‘til next Tuesday --
you’d see things all around you that ‘d 
make your pupils pop.

A man sitting in a seat,
riding on a train
will never realize what is going on as long as he
imagines that he is engineering.

If we lived in a more adanced universe
men would be past the stage of being forced to
pretend that they do not know quite well
what-is-going-on
just for the sake of helping stabilize the 
continued and always-shaky
development of local reality.

“Waking up” is
waking up to this herd-wide, enforced game of pretending not to know where you are,
and what is going on.
But --
even if you DO get your inner eyes open,
and see things as they are,
just remember this:
everybody else knows what’s going on also,
but unlike you,
they are thoughtful enough to keep up the pretense,
and help reality work things out.

A son asked his father:
“Can an enlightened man not be selfish?”
and he replied:
“An enlightened man does not even know the word,
’selfish’.
If he did, he wouldn’t BE enlightened.”

A thumb looked suspiciously at a forefinger & mused:
“If it wasn’t for him always in the way,
I’d rule the world.”
 
 
 
 
 
 

Astology gives the best of both stupidities;
the belief that you are not in control,
along with the belief that you are.
 
 
 
 
 

Graffiti found on one solar system’s ceiling:
“Those who know --  have always known.”
 
 
 
 
 

Thought-based consciousness can never understand why a cube has six sides,
and no system can understand itself based on explanations coming from within the system. 

And now the weather:
You cannot move into the light as long as you continue to think that you know what the dark is.
 
 
 
 
 
 

As regards all reports about, “The Great Secret”:
The separate stories, taken as a whole,
are not the same story AS the whole.

The many and varied thought-stories that pass through your head about you
comprise a scrapbook which calls itself, “You”.
To see-to-the-far-wall  is to realize that there is in truth
no one in you but you, and that the you 
calling itself so in your skull is not it.
Oh, he’s related   --  a second cousin, perhaps,
but if you want to find the real deal,
you’re looking in the wrong place.
Your misguided looking helps keep reality steady
as it extends,
but does nothing to improve your personal I-sight.

Now, today’s stock tip:
Stop looking where everyone is pointing.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The state legislature somewhere recently passed
a “Good Samaritan Law” that requires:
“Anyone struck and injured by a metaphor 
MUST be rendered aid by any who were 
witness thereto.”
 
 
 
 

You want more coffee, or you ‘bout ready to ride?

It’s really something how they can get those saddles to fit so nicely
around the head, huh?!

                  Hi-yoo!
