To get on the path, everyone starts off being somebody else's kind of mystic
and ends up being their own kind. (It's magic.)

Proverb Update:
If indeed it was true that "what goes around comes around,"
then everyone would choke to death who repeated -- more than once --
any cliche.

It is only the normal thinking of man which can see recovery from an illness as progress.
...To the body, this is foolishness, and also to the mind of the more conscious.

Theological Update:
All religious stories have hidden within them stories of actual value.

In the first year class of Transcendental Studies, a student asked:
"What should an aspiring mystic be thinking of -- things mystical, or everyday things from a mystical position?"

In the second semester of first year Transcendental Studies another student asked:
"Whose thinking is more rushed and excited, ordinary men under stress, or the more conscious?"

How It's Ultimately Played
When push comes to shove,
hormones will push, and instinct will shove.

The human mind is the only contender in this galaxy who,
in the midst of constant losing, can continually proclaim itself victor.
...And men yet consistently under evaluate the talents of the mind.

Litigation Update
If everyone's thinking is a "franchisee" of life,
then mystics are those engaged in legal disputes with the franchisor.
