The Daily Reflections
of Jan Cox

 

Men's persistence in telling how they feel
is the brain's attempt, through the use of words,
to give thoughts the impression they can
overcome--or at least partially neutralize--
the power of feelings.

(Those without a clear comprehension of how the brain works will never have a full appreciation of the words "devious," or "determined," or "dazzling."

 

 

A father told his son: "You would be helped greatly in your trek toward the goal if you would listen undistracted to each and every work you speak."
And the boy gradually realized the benefit in also applying it to the thoughts that his brain presented to be thought.

 

 

 

And now for some: Physics News:
Everyone would understand what being awake means
IF motion was not such a stickler for its strict definition.

 

 

Ordinary men are always "On the way to some where,"
while those who know what's going on
never leave home.

 

 

One day as the universe was sitting in the meditative position trying to contemplate its navel, it thought: "What is it that humans get out of this?!"
(One of the mortal advantages is that WE can know while the university can't.)....
[Also known as: The Great Illusionary Mortal Advantage.]

Once Upon A Time:
A certain man found a large creature in his house; SO LARGE, in fact, that it was damn near the size OF his house. He attempted to get the creature out, but it occupied SO MUCH SPACE that it left no place for him to stand from which to--give it a P-U-S-H.

(.....Oh yeah, the headline of this story is: "Startling Discovery Made Concerning the Connection Between Concentration-And-The-Great-Liberation.") ....which should not be all THAT surprising to the alert.

 

To reiterate:

Everyone here can dance forward;

Everyone here can dance backward;

only a few, sideways.
