People whose thinking is influenced by other people’s thinking do not actually think;
that is: they do not use their mind to its full capacity;
also: people whose thinking is influenced by other people’s thinking are normal,
predictable and the heartland of collective humanity.
 
 

Offical requirements concerning broadcasting forces this announcement in Bob's head before & after each thought he experiences:
“This is Bob’s mind and he approved this message.”
 
 

When asked if what he does is stand-up-comedy, a man replied:
“Only when I am not seated.”
 
 

A father said to a son:
“Ordinary minds like to say that ‘Man creates his future’ when it is the reverse –
almost: his fears of a future help make him what he appears to be.”
    “Pa pa: what is the difference between what you are and what you appear to be?”
“Appear to be to whom?  –   to yourm or to others?”
    “Hummmm, people do not normally think in terms of them possibly appearing to
      themselves to be different than they really are  –  it’s always about how they
      seem  to others  --  which sounds strange, now that you’ve prodded me into
      pondering such a matter.”
“Here’s an even better one: People are continually talking about how they,
or someone else are ‘not their self’  –  question: How can a person not be their self?
Run that one over and over in your thoughts, examining its extensive implications.”
 
 

The Hard-Nose View  (Applicable Only To The Few).
When you read or listen to the words of others you outsource your ability to think.
 
 

Without feeling that their ideas and actions are significant to the ultimate fate of man, how could those of routine consciousness carry on?
 
 

Nothing is as funny to the certain-man as him (his own nervous-system to be more specific);
simply becoming suddenly aware of his own consciousness can be the instant source of great personal frivolity.
 
 

There is only one piece of good advice in the entire universe of man:
Consider everything you hear to be mere harmless speculation
(well, it would be harmless if you didn’t take it so seriously).
 
 

The endless desire for revenge is a sterling example of the never-ending dance of
the 3 Forces, in that human conflict (like everything else alive) cannot come to a conclusion that satisfies all involved.
    (“Keep on dancing or we’re all done for.”)
 
 

When an electrical system is reversed it will instantly shut down.
(Is there something useful the nervous-system-rebel might glean from that?)
 
 

One man asks: “What's the use in reading if it doesn’t make you angry or depressed?”
 
 

Man’s routine emotions reside in a nervous-system area of constant turmoil
where certain of Life’s growth energies are struggling to expand via man;
this area (though vital for Life & collective man) is quite disruptive to an individual
attempting to get-to-the-bottom-of-things, and a spot he should avoid.
Ordinary emotions in their role as protector have the side effect of acting as a captor
of consciousness; distracting it from its essential talent to think and reason.
Klean kids don’t play in a septic field.
 
 

For fun, one man pictures the few as having a motto: In focus –  in transit.
 
 

Just being-yourself based on the self you find yourself with at age twenty
is no achievement and only feeds already outdated nervous-system connections
while starving any alternative ones.
 
 

To see and to know is to have no fear, for only the unknown and the imagined future
can produce such fear;
when you understand what is going on you have no past, hence no basis for
a fearful imaginary future.
Everything makes sense to a man who makes sense, (okay, put more precisely):
Everything makes sense to a consciousness that makes sense of things.
 
 

Accepting only the thoughts that automatically appear in your mind as thinking
is akin to having a library filled with books and never reading any.
 
 

With special equipment outside themselves (telescopes) men can look back in time
via the space of the Universe;
the few (via special instruments developed inside of them) can do likewise by moving far enough away from their natural born self to give sufficient space for them to
look into the normally hidden genetic past of Life.
 
 

Said a father to a son:
“Can you now begin to see man’s mentally based 'I' as being a scaffolding for
Life’s continual unfinished construction.”
    “And don’t forget his ‘I’s’ dreams.”
“A given, but always worth mentioning.”
 
 

Without some truly extraordinary effort and intent, ordinary men cannot realize that
they relive their lives over and over, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.
 
 

From a certain perspective, this kind of activity could be seen as the attempted:
Great Interference, but to be profitable one must understand where interference is profitable.   (Always remembering that a stopped process is a dead process.)
 
 

At normal eye/I level it all seems like a merry go round,
while in the certain man’s head  --  it is a roller coaster ride.
 
 

Speaking to his flock, so said a wise man:
“If you discovered a priest drunk and with a whore, which would be of most profit:
denounce him as an insult to all he stands for, or, once he’s aware that you’ve seen
him, pass on with never a comment thereabout?”  and someone in his audience
shouted out: “You don’t fool me, you’re back talking about stuff that might go on inside
one man’s consciousness,” which also didn’t fool the man who asked the question,
recognizing his heckler as one of his own synapses.
(It’s neat how things work out for those who are worked-out.)
 
 

Amidst the everyday confusion & frustration of ordinary life, what is it that the few
desire but accelerated forms of excitement & discontent  –  confusing?  –

For certain of Life’s needs, routine men must stay affixed to the thoughts that appear
magically in their heads to maintain a sense of an in-head-I that is apart from
Life’s greater processes;
even though they are unable to properly function outside the herd, each cow
nonetheless has imprinted in its mental circuitry a vague sensation of individuality,
sufficient to meet the needs of Life’s.
 
 

Man’s nervous-system acts like a magnetic field; attracting and repelling,
and being attracted to and repelled by other such fields;
being of ordinary consciousness is having the neural end of your nervous-system
in a positive or negative magnetic state;
the extraordinary few struggle to achieve a neutral neural condition whereby
their consciousness is not at the complete mercy of their routine mental current.
They are the previously noted: Resistors.
 
 

 A wandering world traveler tells this tale:
“I once meet a man near the far east mountains who appeared most sad and dispirited; he engaged me in conversation and began asking questions regarding the meaning and nature of human existence; I politely informed him that in the past I had frequently spoken about such matters with others but never with any satisfying results,
and taking this as my conclusive comment, he stood, pulled his robe tight round him, raised himself to his full height and said: ‘Well, fuck you,’ then seizing this unique moment (and relying on my extensive background in psychology, philosophy and metaphysics) I immediately replied: ‘Well fuck you too.’
He stopped, stared at me intently, stroked his beard for a bit then said:
‘I believe I understand,’ and thinking back on it, you know  –  maybe he did,
(then again, maybe not).”
