There are things that physically hurt you and things that mentally annoy you,
and you can complain about either;
but doing so about the latter, (if you are trying to Get A Head), can hurt you.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Said a father to a son: “ Ultimately one of the best things you can ever do
in your attempt to change your consciousness
is to correctly identify what it is that is opposing your plan  -- the enemy:
it clearly does not come from outside of you, (other people, society, or fate),
so if it is inside of you, then whatever it is that opposes changing consciousness comes obviously either from: the body or from consciousness itself  --   obviously! --   correct?!...........

My boy, I cannot too strongly recommend your thorough, personal inquiry into
this commonly overlooked matter;
those normally involved in attempting to awaken consciousness from its dreams,
have no doubt they know who their enemy is,
and indeed, give no attention to the matter;
this oversight is most costly --
for it can bankrupt you before you get started good.

Look deeply into the question of exactly who or what it is that
keeps you from changing, to your satisfaction, the way your consciousness works,
and you will be in for a big, big suprprise.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

More Regarding Originality:
One man says he likes opera because he can’t sing along with the words,
and likes jazz because he can’t hum along with the melody;
he says he’s looking into how to start up something similar in his mind
to combat its proclivity to numbing repetitive mimicry.
 
 

Non heroic minds consistently identify a faceless entity as the enemy;
the pressures of Wall Street on financial advisors to over sell stock;
a father’s attitude on one’s self image;
the Evil One’s overall influence on humanity, and most of all:
consciousness’ casting about for who to blame for mistakes it is perceived  to make.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Two of the better known ways people are taught to work on doingTheThing
are to remember yourself,  and to forget yourself;
there is however a new secret one: to forget the self that tries to remember itself.
    (Most people always favor the old over anything new.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The prosecutor’s face lit up with excitement

You know you are on Earth when art normally concerns things aberrant or offensive.

It requires no creativity to act like a savage in a Seville Row;
that is all that everybody else is already --  they just do not flaunt it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There are minds whose efforts for intellectual recognition consists solely of

One guy asked a man much older than himself:
“Do you sometimes feel that things are beginning to wind down?”
    “Any time such a feeling creeps up on me I just remind myself of
      the latest dumb thing I’ve done, and say to myself:
     ‘I can’t die now --  not in this condition!’  --  which instantly snaps me out of it.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Most people’s vision of Vivas Paradisimo would be to not ever again hear
a voice telling them how they should be living  their life:
a voice coming from anywhere  --  ANYWHERE!
        (Anywhere does include their own head, you know.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

If you can’t tell the truth, tell personal anecdotes,
that’s what an ordinary man’s life is anyway  --  fictional and anecdotal.
 
 

A man said to his brother:
”There is something at the bottom of all this that is so simple
no one can tell you what it is  -- ’cause no one knows what it is.”
There was a long pause.........................................................and his brother finally said:
     “There is extremely upsetting to hear,” and the man replied:
“Of course that is just one version of it.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

                      “Paw, how many you figure are actually in The Few you refer to?”
                            “I used to think  --  quite a few,
                              now I sometimes wonder if
                              it’s maybe just me and you.”
