“So you are going to seriously listen to your brain tell you such things; the very same brain that says there are things even now about you of which it has no knowledge; the kind of brain that in an ordinary, sane man will supposedly one day, in his middle years, suddenly say, ‘Oh, I just realized something– I am sexually attracted to my own sex! Well, my goodness – isn’t THIS a surprise!’ As though his brain is capable of finding places within itself to hide thoughts where it cannot later locate them.
Not being able to recall your phone number from childhood is one thing, but forgetting your sexual orientation is quite another, or forgetting about your severe temper, or propensity for laziness, etc. And this is the voice you are going to listen to lead you to, ’Hidden Knowledge and Enlightenment?’ Right.
If your brain did not already know everything it needs to know for you and it to achieve another state of cognition, it could never have thought of such a thing in the first place. Aren’t you beginning to get it?”
They then pulled up chairs pool side, and sat quietly for a while.
