       STORIES FROM THE TWIN WORLDS
                _________________________
 
 
 
 
 

When a tyrant (a man of ordinary consciousness) rules --  he does so by force;
when an awake man is in charge  --  he rules by not attempting to do so.
 
When you hear only the common commentary, and thus are of fragmented mind,
you are a would-be tyrant trying to control a splintered kingdom by force;
tune into the alternative analysis and your kingdom will rule itself –
by being in sync with life’s overall rhythm.

The way an alert man runs his house is by brushing off and sitting back upright
things he knocked over while sleepwalking   --    then leaving them to themselves.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Man’s cells, in the conglomerate, are born on the Equator,
but some soon begin to migrate north,
and as they do they become vociferous, agitated and self reflective.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Compared to all other creatures: the great thing about being human is
your ability to transform yourself  --  and without limitation –
at least you think you can.......which is still more than the rest of ‘em can do.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
                                     There is a thing
                                     run by a wound up spring;
                                     when the tension is spent --  the thing is done in;
                                     the speed at which it runs down is determined by a gauge;
                                     wanna know what it is, (say, yes): “Yes” --
                                     the thing that said yes.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When you talk to an ordinary man, his thoughts about you (as you speak)
are so agitated as he listens, that when your words echo back to you from him
they have been much distorted by the constant moving of his mind
and thus you fail to learn (by reflection)
the secret that you should about your mind.

Being able to avoid this is the only reason to speak to a man who-knows.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Anyone determined that the verbal-based, second reality game as played by
ordinary men must and can make sense; be rational, consistent and non ironic,
are loony as beer ticks;
they are insane  --   nuts, crazy, blind & out of their so-called minds.
Who but an imbecile expects eggs from a horse --  brass from a chemical equation?!
 
 

One day a man read from a certain book and enjoyed it much;
the next day he read from it again but did not enjoy it;
did the book change or did the man? --
and either way:  does this make any sense to you?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The trick is: to casually go, and casually return
(again and again, until the end).

The ignorant die from the stress of the unavoidable repeated journey;
the coming and going may be inescapable, the stress is not.

It would be better that fish stayed in water rather than trying to don breathing tanks,
or spitting on one another  to stay moist & alive.
Shared delusions keep your neighbors alive;
the ones you allow in your house keep your own non residents viable.

Even kidding around with idiots (much less trying to, straighten-them-out)
puts you on their team.
Useless ideas are kept alive through repeated attention,
whether it is positive or negative doesn’t matter: all that is required is just attention, after all: a man cannot possibly stay blind to what life is really about
unless he willfully keeps his own eyes closed.
Once things are seen in focus, you realize that the problem is not really
one of,  discovering-The-Truth  --
but in being able to keep yourself oblivious to it,
(in other, annoying words):
waking up is not the challenge --  staying asleep is.
.......(Take that under the covers with you to bed tonight!)
 
 

Men believe there is an art to being born and dying,
but disintegration and reassembly take no talent;
with men: glue is king.
 
                                           He who finally, cuts-to-the-quick,
                                           sports a mind, super slick.
 
 

The neural condition some call, “being awake” is not totally unknown to ordinary men; just as when a dream becomes too disturbing, you will wake up,
so too in day time, when stress becomes too great,
(as when people are present at a terrifying event)
they will commonly go into an anomalous mental state which they refer to as,
“being in shock” –
                       --  there is the difference between the six billion and the handful.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The nearest thing to harm that you can do a man is assaulting him with
the sticks of “good & bad”.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

If you mention the smell of some mental shit  --  you become part of it.

      You don’t have to stop or even control thought  -- if you would just not express it.
