Earth, physical realty and hormones are the supreme ventriloquist, and routine men the stupefied audience.
“Son, how-you-feel is what-you-think.”
“So why do you constantly talk about thinking instead of feeling?”
“What can you say about it?!”
(And the full ramifications of this six word rhetorical question gradually proved of immense eye/I-opening benefit to the boy.)
All second reality thought is consciousness’ attempt to trace its roots. Hormones come from nowhere and go nowhere, but act as a travel agent for others.
The claim: “You are what you eat,” is neurons’ crude attempt to gain some advantage over hormones. Feel free to call your grandmother collect with the astounding news, on the day that Greek gods no longer look like falafels and the mental muses themselves realize that for all the years they admitted they did – they did not mean it or understand why it seemed that way.
A man saying that he knows-something,
is to his understanding-it
as a dictionary is to The Rubaiyat.
