In the physical reality, everyone is glad they are them and delighted to be alive.
Only in the second reality do these matters come into question.
In the physical reality does joie de vivre or insouciance reign.
Only in the second can you find heartbreak and disappointment.|
To clarified consciousness, the normal audio of thought is like the soothing sounds of metal barrels filled with nuts and bolts, (falling forever from atop tall buildings onto double hard concrete).
“Pa, is that why at the beach
you only see the few holding their own heads up to their ears?”
A brain that will not resist its own unfavorable tendencies, is not worthy to be called a human brain.
Metaphorically speaking: hormones are to primary, physical reality as neurons are to man’s second reality. The first two: silent, salient and essential while the second two: obstreperous, insidious, and as significant as you say they are. Man’s connection to physical reality and his own hormones is patently indispensable while his second reality, and the non-vital operations of his brain’s consciousness from which it proceeds is necessary only to establish and live a normal human life. But once it has been put into its initial proper place, a man can, (should he so desire), move on to other areas.
