Being asleep makes you just seem ignorant;
being awake turns you into the real deal.
A man who cares what other people think about him has three problems:
One is that he does not understand what “think-about” is about;
two is that he does not realize what “him” means;
and three is that he does not utilize his ability to “care” correctly.
You have no “self” until thought creates it – then it’s too late.
A guy asked a mystic:
“Does anyone understand what you’re talking about?”
“You mean: excluding me?”
“Yeah.”
“No. Do you want to ask about: including me?”
“Okay.”
“No.”
In the beginning it is an intelligent man who asks questions.
Getting on toward the end –‘tis only the ignorant.
