In
all areas of human study there is a blind spot right near the center of
what
one believes to be his expertise to be.
This
news item spurred one reader to privately ponder whether there might be
the ultimate possibility that any description of Life
that any mortal mind can put forward will contain a fatal flaw
(somewhat
akin to the injection hole in a plastic action figure never being able
to conceive of itself).
Variation
Number Fore!
No
course is up to par that doesn’t have a hidden water hazard on some
hole.
Next
to certain erotic games and exotic chocolate creams,
one
guy’s favorite activity is saying to his self:
“How
can you ever study yourself when you are all you have to
study
with?”
Said
a searingly bright father to a son:
“Level
with me kid: are you going to be a moon all
of your life!?”
(One chap is quite disturbed by the similarity between “moon” and
“moron.”)
At
a sidewalk café:
As
espresso he awaited,
a chap contemplated:
“Does
a man who’s struggling to awaken always have something-in-reserve
–
or
does he work at such an all-out intensity that everything he has
is
constantly being called upon?”
A
man in the city with no ax to grind is a man with no axe.
(There
is no such creature as a smooth-running second-reality.)
At
least one pleasurable feature of taking some second-reality matter
seriously
is
that if you're a nervous-system-rebel, when you realize what you're
doing,
you
enjoy good laugh.
On
one world, when they're confronted with something they can't control
or
comprehend --
they declare war
on it.
(“Are you using the term, ‘one-world’ as a substitute for
‘one-form-of-consciousness’?”)
Ordinary
people trying to think while they’re angry is about like them trying to
actually
think.
One
man’s approach is: “If your teeth hurt – pull out your
gums.”
(Talk about
convenience!):
Fits come in a size for everyone.
So
reflected a fellow:
“Via
Religion, Politics and Philosophy, Life is trying to teach man
what?
–
how
to feel? – how to act? – how to think?”
He
then sat down by a pool.
In
the physical world, constant exchanges are obvious;
in
man’s mental realm – not so obvious, but just as ubiquitous.
Standing
on his balcony overlooking the city, the Mayor
mused:
“Talk
about over-kill and the supreme fail-safe system:
How
about Life
providing man with both religion
and government!”
(An aide behind a curtain mulled: “I guess when you're Life
and it’s just you against
the whole Universe, you can never overdo the survival thing.”)
(And as long
as
we’re talking about armadillos): A mister G.T.W. emails
us
from Texas:
“Sir:
Inasmuch as I am from Ohio – why am I writing you from
Texas?
Yours,”
etc.
Indeed
G.T. – Life
& the matter of location can be a duo of subjects worthy of
weighing.
At
least talking about what you're doing helps the ordinary remember what
they
should be
doing (although that’s
not the purpose they had in mind).
Quote
Of The Day.
“Would
I lie about something that important? – certainly! –
what
better way to emphasize its importance!?”
You
can be distracted by many things – but you shouldn’t let
you
be one of them.
A
Tip.
If
you get captured in the city, and you're drugged & forced to answer
their questions, always just respond: “Perhaps.”
An
ordinary man’s area of clearest perception is where he is closest to
being
dinner.
(Aka: The ultimate personal exchange.)
Just
because you forget it’s there doesn’t mean that the place where everything-overlaps
ceases to exist.
A
man who can truly think is the only creature on earth who will
chew
off his own foot when caught in an emotional trap.
Conversation.
“It
is an awesome responsibility to be your own best friend and advisor.”
“’Awesome’!?”
“Okay:
funnest.”
