“Once looked at directly, how can you fail to instantly realize and accept the veracity and accuracy?…And yet men do. Educated, intelligent, talented men; how can someone trained in neurology hear the idea of men, ‘Hiding-things-from-themselves’ without either laughing, or offering correction?! But they will do neither, when ‘technically speaking’ they know that the whole concept cannot, ‘technically be.’ Yet, they will nod along agreeably and apparently knowingly with the idea.
It is not because of their stupidity, or a flaw in medical education; it is because the brains-of-man’s-business – his brain has, for some reason, decided, via, The-Voices, to tell him that he believes that he can keep things about himself hidden from himself, which of course at base, is the brain saying to itself that there are things that it knows which it actually does NOT know. Right.”
The elder nudged the boy, and they began walking from the stables toward the pool as he picked back up his comments. “You can forget those mystical, doe-eyed, far-away exotic descriptions of what it is to be in a state of stagnated, hypnotized, deluded and deranged consciousness. I have just given you the direct, down-home, full and complete, scientific analysis of what it is to be, ‘asleep, captured and unenlightened’ is to believe your brain when it says that there are things about you that you do not know, things that you have hidden from yourself. You are being too charitable to call yourself, ‘asleep.’ Be a man and call yourself what you really are – a moron.
The zenith of this zaniness goes even beyond this: your brain’s assertion, (I’m sorry, I mean of course, your-belief-that), there are other things being hidden from you, things that would supernaturally – Wake you up! Open your eyes! Set you free, and reveal to you The Secret itself!
My boy, for those like us, born with wiring systems fated to follow this carnival, there is simply nothing comparable, and no acceptable substitute. But there is more to it available than just the thrill of the rides. It is possible to gain a bird’s eye-blink-view of the entire fairgrounds; to see through AND past your own brain’s patently misleading and fallacious assertions that there are things about who and what you are of which you, (it), are ignorant…and that there are metaphysical things that a human, (it), can know that will answer all questions, and banish all sleep. Right.”
