One man became quite agitated when he learned that from Medicine’s perspective there are ills, which although incurable, are treatable.
   (He’s afraid his mind will hear of this and latch onto it like a lustful leech.)

Enlightenment & The Matter Of Intangible Physiology.
For the mind to awaken  –  it must be lean.

Looking at Life, one guy offers this financial planning advice:
“Invest your resources where they will do the most good  --  in the future!
Growth will be the next big growth-industry.”

Part of criticism’s job in second-reality is to contribute to the sensation of continuity.

One guy’s ponder for a Wednesday:
“Might being-awake be like being-asleep  –  but on steroids!?”

Definition.
Continuity: The illusion that history is all-stuck-together.

When you're asleep (that is: of ordinary consciousness) you naturally tend to attribute
far too much significance to individual incidents in your life.

Fate is always ungrateful.

Liberation & The Matter Of Mental Topography.
In a land of finite dimensions, the non-understood forever reigns supreme.

Question Of The Day (Soup Not Included).
Is human knowledge discovered –  invented  –  or imported?
P.S. To answer this requires a man who understands what mortal knowledge is.

There’s talk on another world of abolishing the normal time lag between
action and thinking-of-action.
   (“Why don't I get to go to these interesting other-worlds you're always mentioning?”
         You tell me  –  they couldn’t be any closer.)

Fate is always uneventful.

The supreme, operational definition of the word “virtual” is in men’s
uncritical acceptance of the voice in their head that says “I” as being “I.”

A father is nearing awakening when he is down to his last son or so.

Test Of Your Suitability For Rebel-Style Neural Home Ownership.
Which of the following statements is the correct one:
“The basement’s flooded  –  call a plumber!”  –  or:
“Whoa! –  the basement’s flooded  –  call a roofer!”
(In routine city neighborhoods, mental-renting has become the way to go.)

So says one guy: “When you're asleep (in ordinary consciousness) you naturally tend to attribute far too much significance to individual incidents in your life  –  except when you learn that it’s YOUR sorry ass that has cancer!”
   (He then read the minds of everyone who heard him say this, and after a second, laughed.
     I trust it wasn’t at you.)

One chap wants to assure us that he is SO“in favor of fun!”
that even he periodically tries to have some.
   (Being lean makes it easier to beam.)

The sleeping love to talk,
and naturally talk at the lowest possible common denominator.

Notes a man: “Some people believe that if you work for a doctor, you’ll never get sick; or for a lawyer, you'll never be arrested; or that if you work for a priest
you'll never……aw, never mind.”

Said a father to a son:
“Man's natural response to being stabbed is to bleed;
the rebel’s proper response to fear of being stabbed is to privately & subversively smile.”

In physical first-reality it is indubitably a case of look out first for yourself,
while in man’s mental-only, second-reality, it costs you nothing
(if you're awake to what’s going on) to put other people's concerns and feelings first.

Test Of Your Suitability For Rebel-Style Overseeing Of
Your Own Physiology.
Which of the following statements is the correct one:
“The benefit of having four kidneys is that you can drink more,” – or:
“The benefit of having four kidneys is that you can pee more.”

One afternoon the ole man called the kid into the kitchen, had him take a seat
at the table and said:
“You've recently been asking me what Life means to man,
and I reckon today’s as good as any for me to give you a reply:
Human life is…..is…..well, it’s either a treat.....or maybe a punishment  –  oh! add:
an experimental laboratory…..yeah, Life is either a treat, a punishment,
or an experimental laboratory……wait! -- you can also include the possibility that
it is a golden opportunity.....or a joke  –  now we’ve got it:
Life is either a treat, a punishment, an experimental laboratory, a golden opportunity,
or a joke…..yeah!.....but it also could be a sport (better add sport to the list,
and that’ll really wrap it up….except I guess we should include that it could be either irrelevant or unfathomable)  –  so! --  here’s what we’ve got:
To man, Life is either…..” at this point the kid got up and left the room.
