The Daily Reflections
of Jan Cox

 

All men (that is to say, all creatures with thoughts and consciousness of their thoughts) are held captive,
and the fact is that either everyone is aware of this,
or else no one is aware of it; and the truth is that no one is quite sure which of the facts is correct....(which, of course, does not change the fact that all men are held captive).

 

 

 

And after a short break and a word from your local station, I'll be back with another version of this story which will say that: "All men (that is, all creatures with thoughts and consciousness of their thoughts) are held captive, and their captor is their consciousness of their thoughts.
S-o-o-o-o-
Stay tuned....If your captors will let you.

and now a message from one of our local sponsors,
The Breeze-a-Way Funeral Home:
On his death bed, with his final breath,
one man recently uttered these words:
"I have but one regret concerning my life:
I regret each and ever time
that I thought about myself,
or said 'I.' The passion of my life was to see for myself the nature of Life, and yet by my useless thinking about myself,
I blinded myself."
And with those comments, his body sagged, his eyes opened wide, and his soul sailed home to the silent land of "No-Self."

 

 

followed by some News You Can Use:
Each morning when he arises, a sailor is faced with two possibilities:
(1) The sky will clear up;
or
(2) It won't.
An investigator experiences no such alternatives....(Well, if he does, then he is not on the case!!)

 

 

 

A boy asked his father:
"Is there a difference between thinking-about-yourself and thinking-about-your-thinking?
And the elder mused: "Hmmm, perhaps he IS my son after all."
