THE FLOW:
There is a certain flow in life with which consciousness is out of synch. This is ordinary men’s normal condition, and is also the cause of what the few call, being asleep. There is a certain flow in life which runs neither faster nor slower than man; a flow that you are unaware of unless you are aware of it, then you and the flow move precisely together, and you are no longer asleep, in consciousness. So perhaps you do not actually get in synch with the flow, but with yourself.
THE PAY OFFS OF HELPFUL UP STARTS AND DOWN ONES:
There was once a building with three floors. Those who lived on the top, and those who lived on the bottom, began to feel sorry for the man who lived in the middle, so they started to tear away his ceiling from the top, and his floor from the bottom so that he would no longer be trapped in between them. While doing this to help him, his floor collapsed and he was killed. What a terrific moral and inspiration, eh kids?
THE FRESHMAN VIEW OF THAT CERTAIN MATTER IS:
Wanting to wake up is demanding more of words than they can offer.
THE SENIOR PERSPECTIVE IS:Wanting to wake up is expecting more of consciousness than it can deliver (to wit) itself.
THE PROBLEM OF BLINDNESS CAUSED BY A RETINA STUCK IN THE EYE:
Even though thought be consciousness’ highest achievement, from one perspective it is an impediment to its clearest possible sight.
