To never reach a finish line, a final state or condition — what unwittingly drives the few is an anomalous resistance to this prevailing situation.
The few want one thing, (no matter what various names are given it by its various would be mouthpieces), and the one thing is: “A final answer, dammit! A once-and-for-all conclusive description of just what is going on! The last word; the ultimate wrap-up to all of the things that have been endlessly rolling around in your mind all of your life. That’s all!”
That is all the few are really after, but after now having read the above, you should reconsider the previously un-analyzed approach of believing that thinking about The Thing and yourself, may play any part in you achieving your goal. If your thoughts cannot even tell you the world’s largest number, how are they going to lead you to a greater state of mind, which obviously (at least to those with three good eyes) is to say:
How are your present thoughts going to lead themselves
to a higher degree of understanding?
If they knew what was needed to achieve it,
they would already have it.
The nearest blinding horizon, over which a hungry man needs see, is the one that hides from him and his thoughts. The fact that there is a permanent inconclusiveness to all human thought that distracts men from a direct awareness of what is going on in life, (save for a few who understand the inconclusiveness).
The understanding is there for your taking.
