One man’s first-thing-in-the-morning slogan:
“If you do not wake up either singing or laughing, you do not wake up.”
(Consciousness not fully aroused and stabilized is a terrible burden to bear! Unless, of course, you don’t understand what we’re talking about – then for you, it doesn’t matter.)
“That’s the great thing about life in the second reality, ain’t it Pa? If something doesn’t matter to you, it doesn’t matter.”
“Yep, without that, the whole thing couldn’t work – well, that and not realizing that.” “Dang Pa, it shore is neat to be a human!”
“Yeah, especially one that doesn’t know any better.”
There is a big ballroom where you either dance, or your feet will dance for you, and for every million on the floor, seldom is even one aware of what is going on. If ignorance is not the ”best policy,” it is certainly the most efficient. (Once in place, it requires no maintenance.)
The reason it seems so difficult to ever escape from a house of mirrors is that there is no such structure. When reflections are recognized for the illusions they are, the nature of mirrors is realized. Un-stabilized thought searches for release; un-stabilized thought creates the only snares from which men seek release.
You know you are amongst the ordinary when whining passes for introspection.
