On
one world, there are three levels of threat alerts:
The
lowest is represented by the cry:
“Stand
back! – here comes the gods and they are hungry,”
the
second most severe is:
“Watch
out! – the gods are on the way and they are horny,”
and
the highest level of danger is present when you hear the shout:
“Run
for your life! – the gods are curious again!”
In
his wine, even the most even-handed of rulers can become dangerous;
but
why worry about the drinking habits of potential tyrants when the worst
has
already
occurred – yeah, that’s right: in your own consciousness.
Frequently,
one man sends his self an unsigned email that says:
“Ignore
the previous days of your life.”
In
a sequential world (which is what ordinary men perceive themselves
inhabiting)
the
sad news is: Those shot first –
bleed first.
Before they fully understand-what's-going-on, many people get really tight-assed thinking about the possibility that some shmuck they've met who doesn’t seem all that different from them, might be awake.
Anyone who tries to hint to you that they are more aware than you, is not awake.
There
are those who cry over beauty,
and
there are those who cry over tragedy,
(oh yeah, and there’re a few others too).
One
guy has found something new to puzzle over:
”Why,
in a 3-D reality, does space have no room to move around,
and
time always seems out of sync?”
Message
found on a bathroom wall in a city restaurant:
“Things
are not as bad as you believe or else you wouldn’t be in here.”
(There is surely a furtive scribe somewhere, flushed with pride.)
The
beauty of a thing passes,
as
your need for it lapses.
After
reading an article on the editing of dictionaries, one man is now severely
peeved: “Why do one or two men get to decide the right way for all of us
to spell
and
pronounce our words – how the hell did they get such authority!?”
(Another guy has found something else to puzzle over:
“In man's mental-only reality, how does anything ever get started?”)
A
son asked a father:
“Why
have I never heard you say that you're awake?”
“Eight.”
A
man who suffered continual stomach distress discovered he could cure it
simply
by not eating.
(“May I presume you speak not of physical stomachs and food!?”)
What is strange ‘til said it is so?
Since
how you feel dictates what you think, if you allow the thoughts that automatically
appear in your mind to pass by unfazed, so too will your feelings, and
you will never get to the bottom of things.
(Note: There was once a school dedicated to achieving enlightenment who
called itself:
“Let There Be Faze.”)
After
hearing someone say that the mind trying to examine itself is like an
unusually
tall person standing on a chair so he can reach high enough to comb his
hair, one man thought: “So!? – where else would he stand.”
Nominated
for the Ole Sorehead Of The Week
award is the gent who yesterday said:
“While waiting for my ship-to-come-in – somebody stole the
ocean!”
(One of his caliber may not pass this way again [or if you prefer, instead
of “may not,”
you may substitute, “I hope not.”])
Don’t forget boys & girls, stupidity in others is simply non-thinking in you.
You
are truly part of the Revolution when you realize you have started something
that
you can never finish.
Conversation.
“I've
never heard you engage in verbal combat?”
“There’s nothing in words worth fighting over.”
Supposedly,
the name of one of the early attempts to awaken-from-the-dream was:
“Up
to now my friends – only up to now.”
A
city warrior’s cry in the land of man’s second-reality:
“At
the first sign of success – RETREAT!”
(Who but cows and ordinary minds do not find it curious to live in a place
where
success in any affair spells its doom?)
Imaginary candy satisfies all the little kiddies in the city.
At
one of those slap-dash “God Conventions” which periodically pop
up here and there, one of them stood and said: “May I make a suggestion?”
– and another called out:
“Is
that anything like a criticism?” – and the first one scratched
his head, and said: “Well…I guess you could say that,” –
and instantly! – all that was heard in the hall was the sound of
seven hundred guns being drawn.
One
guy proffers:
“Trying
to alter your consciousness when consciousness is all you have with which
to
do any altering, seems to me like robbing Peter to teach Paul some sort
of
weird
lesson.”
(So who can find
fault with that.)
