While
listening to reporters deliver the news on television,
or
watching an actor’s dramatic performance, one man thought:
“Anyone
can sound intelligent if they’re reading a script somebody else
wrote
for them” -- then suddenly thought about his own mind
in this regard,
and
for an instant had the willie-shivers.
Although
not a professional comedy writer,
one
man could make up jokes as fast as he could think --
just
by thinking of some ordinary statement he’d heard someone express.
After
you’ve seen Shangri La head-on
-- everything
looks like Shangri La.
(Okay:
aka: Once you realize what’s going on -- everything's funny,
[well
at least mildly amusing.])
In
recognition of how mind works:
on
his web page, one man has put a link to his web page.
One
man thought: “The worse thing about dying when you're elderly
rather
than when you're a new born is that you're aware that you are,”
he
mulled that over for a moment, then thought: “No, it's the other way around,”
(though
for the life of him, he couldn’t fathom why he thought so).
Moral.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter why.
(Okay:
Never.)
One
man finally decided that it’s not really all that bad: living with one
foot on fire.
Says
one man:
“Except
for your mama: everyone who’s nice to you wants something from you,”
and
after having said it, thought to himself:
“This
has got to also have its reflection in the operations of my own mind.”
Often,
whenever he’d gone an hour or so without mentally beating up on himself,
one
man's consciousness would coo to him: “Why you silver tongued devil you!”
When
the city part of one man’s mind heard the challenge regarding a particular
matter
or product: “Examine the evidence and judge for yourself,” its reaction
was: “Why should I
do all the work!”
One
man nicknamed all his innards (with which he was in conscious contact):
“We’re
In A Running Battle.”
One
man says: “My opinion is that there is only one type of actual congratulations,
and
that is: self congratulations,”
and
thereupon saying, slapped himself on the back, muttering:
“Well
done old chap -- well done indeed.”
(In
one city, irony can’t go above 42nd Street.)
One
man would do almost anything to keep from hearing advertisements
or
solicitations of any kind
(although
he didn’t let anyone know it........including his self.)
One
man prefaces certain things he is about to say to his overall self with
the words: “You probably wonder why I’m telling you this.....” --
which
indeed, one particular part of his mind certainly did.
Look
in men’s eyes as they relate episodes from their lives; the reason they
so enjoy telling stories from their past is because often in hearing them,
they feel more there in the related event than they were at the time that
it actually occurred.
The
less you understand -- the more you want to be remembered.
At
every city conclusion, one man would announce:
“I
want to leave you with this thought:
Who the hell do you think you are!”
Some
News In Tabloidian Terms.
There
is only one scandal possible in the life of a man working to awaken.
Though
it is never mentioned in their civic boosterism literature: everything
in the city is conducive to both death & density.
Ordinary
people are excited by events -- the certain man by understanding.
Follow-Up
Story.
Everything
that exists in the city (that is: man’s mental-only, cultural world)
can
be seen as: a challenge!
(Pitiful
what civilians must take as such.)
One man thinks of the mental meals his and everyone else’s city mind serves up as: Tackyburgers.
The
less civilized a people, the closer will be the cultural phenomena of
religion
and politics -- and the physical ones of hormones and neurons.
In
his policing of his mental city, one man keeps the message alive on the
streets: “More arrests are promised.”
Pseudo
Fact.
You
would learn more about man studying bacteriology than you will psychology.
(“God -- I hope
it's pseudo!” Oh,
you old silly.)
Okay:
Serious
Fact.
The
less stressed you are the healthier you will be,
and
the less dense you are the less stressed you will be.
“Pa
pa: is there anything to truly dread in life?”
“That all depends on how normally you are wired.”
“So
-- there is nothing you can do about your attitude toward life?”
“Call an electrician maybe.”
There
is placed in a secret pocket in everyone’s brain,
the
unlisted phone number of a remodeler.
You
can tell that a war is lost when one party begins making relentless references
to their alleged, glorious past.
“So that’s why men are driven to tell stories from their lives.”
“Pa
pa: what’s the most insightful thing you’ve ever heard from ordinary humans?”
“The
notion (concerning a variety of subjects) that:
‘If you have to have it explained
--
you’ll never understand it.’”
