Have you ever been in more attractive conditions 
than where we are today!
I’m glad you brought us here.
You grew up near by, didn’t you?!
I cannot imagine a better place to sit and consider news 
pertinent that particular interest responsible for our meetings. 
Lend an ear and I will tell you what’s hot and topical 
                               for the minds of the few
                                     on this fine day.

There were two princes who 
fought for control of a kingdom.
When the first one was in control,
the place was as noisy and frantic as a video game,
while when the other was in control
it seemed as though he didn’t know exactly 
what to do with the place.
The first one appeared oblivious to 
the second one’s existence,
but not the other way around.

          One was in control much more often than the other.

Ordinary men are fascinated by their stomachs, 
and sex organs;
mystical men are fascinated by their minds.

Mystical men could do better than this;
ordinary men can’t.

…(One guy decided to get a face lift…….
     …but then thought: “Naw, I’ll do a mind lift first,
       then see how I feel.”)

      Trying to wake up without understanding thought
       is to always be, (hold up your thumb and forefinger,
       almost touching), THIS close -- 
       but never quite getting there.

To arouse yourself from the routine drowsy state
don’t waste your energy chasing happiness, or wealth; pursuing knowledge, or fame, 
or seeking the mystical, but rather,
develop the capacity to think the truth about yourself.

Here‘s how it goes with our species,
in a little poem entitled: 
                                     To Be Alive.

To be alive is to be human;
to be human is to think,
and to think is to think that 
there is more to being a human than there actually is,
and to think that there is more to being a human than 
there actually is
is to be confused as to what it is exactly --
                                     To Be Alive.
 

                     …(being “asleep”, as some call it,
                          is being in denial of your humanity.)

If our instincts could become conscious of the world that our mind has constructed, 
and which is its primary place of residence,
our instincts would conclude that our mind is insane.

……remember my recent health tip:
If, (as is commonly claimed by psychiatry, et al),
talk can cure men’s mental problems
then talk must be their cause.
…(every two way street runs in both directions --
     even those marked, One Way.)

Standing amidst a massive metaphysical library,
a father said to a son: 
“Do you understand, 
notwithstanding the varied descriptions proffered throughout the ages about certain men wanting to Awaken; achieve Enlightenment; know The Truth,
be Liberated, and so on,
that what is truly involved is simply 
the mind’s desire to understand thinking,
and anyone who says otherwise,
hasn’t got a clue?!”
 

              All You Need Know About REAL Mysticsm:

                       If it’s not plain as dirt -- 
                       and as curt
                       as a stick in the eye –
                       it’s not real mysticism.
 

“Oh, pa pa!” cried out the child: “My eye/I is bleeding.”
”Good.” he replied:
”Now you’re dealing with the real thing.”
 

                                     Bye, from here.
