NOT MERELY A ROUND ROBIN, BUT AN OBSCENELY PLUMP ONE, SOME WOULD SAY.
You only have it when you seek it;
you only seek it when you remember it;
you only have it when you remember it,
then you have it but for a moment — only to lose it,
a loss you would not be aware of
had you not wanted to have it in the first place.
Those with a wired-in longing-to-understand, have a natural pleasure in the mind, but the joys you experience after you get-the-understanding, make your present ones seem amateurish.
WHO DOESN’T GO THERE?
With every change of conditions, consciousness is born. Being more life-like in consciousness
is in being less affected by these shifts. (Can you spell, “Impossibility-passing-for-a-school-bus”?)
In the beginning a man seeks to discover reality.
In the end he seeks to become a man about whom there is no reality.
Men tend to treat life as though they are living inside a big padded suit; handling normal affairs as though they are wearing kitchen mitts. Life makes men treat themselves, and the second reality that they have created, as being extremely delicate.
