As soon as they entered the kitchen this morning, father to son said:
Water
will win in the end, in that its ordained, ultimate defeat will alone mark
the
actual demise of the kingdom;
the
apparent intervening victories & losses of words are irrelevant to
the
final outcome.
For
that which is born -- death alone is heroic:
all
the human racket heard between the beginning and the end
is
but the disguised, shameful cries of those made cowards through ignorance.”
Coffee was turned on as were synapses beginning to be.
“Not
only do most people not have even a trace of originality,
most
people in fact do not even discern its absence.
Even
though it is foolish to speak of originality in man in the literal sense,
(since
no such thing is possible for something that itself is created),
something
closely resembling it must come into play
if
you are ever going to see for yourself what is actually going on.
There
is a certain bravery required to pursue our Bloodline’sTradition;
you
need not only a special taste for originality, but also the strength to
survive resisting the universal-force-of-the-ordinary,
which
by its nature is antithetical to originality.
Water’s
essence is ordinary; words’ is original -- at least theoretically,
for
lacking material birth, they have unrestricted potential;
while
water is confined to a structure of H2O,
words
in theory can arrange themselves in any way they want,
to
say and represent any idea in the whole universe that they might want to,
but
in normal practice this is not what happens.
Words
end up acting as structured and predictable as water,
but
their awareness of having a theoretical potential for originality causes
them deep, displaced distress;
as
they live their lives of mundanecy, plagiarism, and me-too-ism,
they
lash out at the other words around them --
blaming
them for their stifling confinement,
(Matisse
without hands to hold a brush
reviling
other unproductive amputees as the source of his impotence).”
The brew began to perk as did the brain’s attention.
“The
reassuring ordinariness of man’s everyday life rests on both the
silent,
seldom-thought-of predictability of the physical universe,
and
also on the even less often analyzed familiarity of the verbal one;
man
is programmed to hear what life wants him to hear,
and
that is what he will hear even if something else is said.
Our
Family’sFiveThousandYearOldSecretStruggle
is a
war
we wage specifically against this intangible fortification in
the
inner structure of the thing that seems to be – ourselves.”
Coffee was poured as neurons started to become un bored.
“Not
only is the universe itself arranged antipodally to originality,
men
are built to feel comfortable with the sensation of having a special,
‘inner
self’ only in the absence of anything apparently original;
this
is why humans discuss, debate and dispute over the same few topics
which
they have ever since words appeared in their kingdom;
the
physical matters words speak of, change and are refreshed
as
their comprehension thereof increases,
but
the non physical matters about which words also concern themselves
are
static: static, redundant, boring and meaningless, (not to mention, boring)
-- all of course, just from OurFamily’sView.
The
rest of humanity does not care that their inner lives lack any originality;
there
is nothing wrong with these people and they are not stupid;
it
is simply a matter of cows, by nature preferring the life of the herd,
but
for the few of our family,
having
the weight of the universe shoving our potentially-free,
frontal-lobe
neural activity into abject lock-step with six billion other bovines
is
something less than acceptable."
Sugar was stirred as was also awakening neurons.
“Any
subject popular with man is anathema to me and my kin;
what
words commonly have to say on any of these matters –
whether
yea or nay -- is absolutely of no interest to me whatsoever,
in
that I and my adult like at least by this point realize their complete
lack of
any
significance to both the life I actually live, and the goal I really seek.
Here
is the insider’s tip:
take
everything that words have ever said -- discount them totally,
and
what is left will lead you to where you want to go.”
Cream was dispensed as neurons were further incensed.
“Your
mind is no kin of mine if you can watch the
wild
dog of your own unoriginal words uncontrollably chase after the
ceaseless
flow of bland, verbalmobiles-of-me-too-ism forever passing your
house,
and
believe that something
is actually going on.
Right
there is precisely why men do not see what IS
going on:
from
watching what naturally sycophantic words SAY
is going on.
Words
can never know what is going on;
the
best that they can do -- which none but us pursue –
is
to know what is going on with THEM.
Knowing
that is knowing all that any man can know,
and
fulfills our secret family promise*.”
J
*"I'm
going to wake-up even if I have to kill
somebody -- preferably, me."
Even
asleep, the rest of life is obvious -- it is the human
form that seems to be a metaphor;
waking-up
is in realizing why humans need the concept of a metaphor to begin with.
