In a discussion of the Grand Incursion and Ultimate Conquest, one man said:
“The greatest obstacle to be overcome is the habits of the body.”
To be countered by a second man:
“Not so: the strongest opposition is the mechanicalness of the mind.”
And a third voice injected:
“Nay: the principle barrier to our goal is the weakness of the spirit.”
“The body!”
“The mind!”
“The spirit!’
“The body!”
“The mind!”
“The spirit!”
In his pondering of his long involvement in The Great Undertaking, one man mused:
“I have finally come to realize that the supreme need in all of this is to correctly identify the enemy.” Few men have the desire for the Grand Goal, fewer still, ever the recognition of what appears to stand between it and them.
The place twixt mercury and reflection
is a secret space scarce seen by man.
One day when the King had stepped out of the room, the Court Jester asked the Royal Psychic:
“Can you really tell the future?’
And he replied, “Yeah, but I can’t tell it much.”
And for a brief moment they both wondered if they had mistakenly gotten each other’s intended job.
People who simply want to change their behavior have a goal fit only for a child.
