The tubas were getting louder along with father. “How can a person who is asleep shake their self awake? How can a mind that sleeps, wake itself up? One of mind’s most significant features for the few is that it consistently looks for and expects to find wisdom always outside itself.
By nature, the human mind, wants-to-know, and by instinct does it believe that what it does not know, some other human mind does. Some other human mind can know how to grow corn and build a mill, but no other human mind knows anything about the human mind, or about any of the multitude of things it has invented, that you do not know. But those ordinary minds outside our family are forbidden to realize this, for if they did, civilization would collapse! No more culture, no more art, no education, religion, history; all story telling shot to hell!
To help keep man from having to face the fact that his ‘self’ is but the anthropomorphism of thought, his mind is programmed to believe that anything he wants to know, and does not know, some other person’s mind does. (And you think I can be abstruse and elusive; a dance team long before your time.)
Regarding all matters intangible, no human who’s ever lived ever knew any more about any of them than you do this very instant. A bullet proof, wells-fargo-fact: man knows this is so, but is routinely made to act like he believes someone else. He CAN know the very things he knows men cannot know. I tell you my boy, it’s enough to make a drummer get a haircut.
And speaking of that, no matter what they call it or how they verbally cut it, how they try to camouflage it, trying to awaken, enlighten, or ‘change’ in any other described fashion: your condition of consciousness, mind, spirit or self is the snipe shooters struggle to make something out of nothing. It is to sew the invisible man a new suit and thus bring him into being. I swear, it’s enough to make a blind man on a float shout to the essence of life as he passes, ‘Show us your tits!’”
