One
day a chap pondered: “Has what I've discovered during my years of
struggling
to awaken actually changed my life,” and his inner siamese twin said:
“Are you sure you want to go there!?”
Question:
Can any man know for certain that anything he has learned
has
altered his life from how it would have been any way?
First thing every morning one man promises his self some brand new and exciting realization before the day is over.
After
his investigation showed that much of his ordinary mental life consisted
of
him
hearing his self engaged in imaginary conversations, one man then felt
forced to consider if all of his ordinary conversations weren’t imaginary.
On
one world, real men don’t cry,
on
another world, real men don’t care, and on a third world, (when
circumstances call for it) real men will pretend to cry to
cover up the fact that they don’t care.
One
man offered his self several options – none of which appealed
to him,
“They
all somehow sounded the same.”
(Which he later admitted had been the case with him all his life.)
So
mused one chap: “I bet that most of the thoughts I think ain't really worth
thinkin’…….’cept maybe for this one right now.
(Since I can
say that, does it mean I may be gettin’ better…..maybe gettin’ closer to
what I've been
searchin’ for?)”
One man always gets really uncomfortable when the conversation turns to the subject of mental illness. (He swears he’s never tried to think this through.)
After
years of hearing radio traffic reporters warn of: “A mattress in the road,”
one
guy’s decided that’s what he’ll train to become.
In an attempt to avoid detection and capture, one man has concluded that his thinking is far too arresting for him to safely stick around for very long at a time.
Periodically
one guy says to his self: “You don’t scare me,”
(and
assumes that Life knows
who he's really talking to).
Advice
a father proffered a son:
“Physically,
be invisible, mentally, be doubly so.”
In
his thinking, one man hates pleasant weather, hates pleasant food,
hates
pleasant music, hates pleasant people, in fact,
he
hates everybody and everything.
(He says he some
times wishes he had a hearing aid in his head that he could turn off.
“But,” he adds,
“only some
times,” a comment which [him being a normal human being]
was unnecessary.)
Relaxing
& Reincarnation.
For
his next life, one man plans to take more time.
Even in tall grass on a dark easter morn, it’s hard to hide the fact that you're a moron.
Everybody
recognizes a fake smile – but it doesn’t much matter.
(Same deal with fake intelligence).
It is only ignorance that men unwittingly feel they must defend.
Once
the mind has created and told a tale,
the
story takes on a life that cannot as easily be destroyed.
In
a parental tone, one man said to his mind:
“I
want you to have all the things I never did.”
(Point of interest: It did not
respond: “Thanks, Dad.”)
From
a guy in a coffee shop: “Two reasons I wish that physically I was
two people:
then
I could marry me, or sue myself.”
Said
a man to the crowd: “The only proper response to stupidity is…”
and
gave a way-huge silence – then left.
Ninety
percent of jazz is predictable and mechanical and is made tolerable only
by
its
finger-poppin’ rhythm;
similar
is the situation regarding man’s speech, which is bearable solely because
of
its
familiarity and comforting cadence.
Why
run when you can walk –
why
walk when you can stand –
why
stand when you can sit –
why
sit when you can lie, and why lie when you can melt into a dazzling dew
drop?
Pushing
The Envelope Of Being Progressive.
One
man doesn’t believe in ramifications.
In
an unexpected move, one man got some of his neurons corned in a normally
unused
area of his brain and got them to admit:
“Yes,
it is not literally impossible to think of new things, so it is
not a question of
our
ability, but rather that doing so seems to us so useless and unnecessary,”
and
the man was not immediately sure what to say to them in response.
Man’s
ordinary thinking is not programmed to perceive the distinctions &
similarities between information & entertainment that are seen by the
neural-revolutionist.
Only those who understand humor never laugh at others.
Two
humans were talking and one of them asked:
“What
is the absolute basic difference between ordinary folks and the nervous-system-rebel?”
– and the other one replied:
