Notes by TK
Kyroot to :06. There is a specific difference between men and the other animals: men will do almost anything not to submit to sickness, maltreatment, even death. Men are designed so as to not-submit. Each new generation must not submit to the former. Any quest or drive that is known and ‘named’ is too limited to be of value. For the Real Revolutionist this type of rebellion is not enough. To the Real Revolutionist, CTWYDHT continued thinking when you don’t have to is both a producer of New Intelligence and simultaneously, the product of N.I. It is a rebellion within a rebellion. Connection to the merger of ends and means.
Men are bound to the too-small and the too-large in their concerns. This attachment to ill-appropriate size is the cement that bonds them to their position of not-submitting to the inevitable. The Real Revolutionist must abandon this stance, it will not fuel NI.
The “trickle down” theory of economics is more than economic. Consider, in a Real Revolutionist’s nervous system would it be more profitable for the authority to flow from the top (Yellow Circuit, capital-D, divine decree) or from the bottom (Red Circuit, labor, democratic will of the people)?
Heroic myth always includes a “quest”, either to some new depth. height or width (distance). Yet it is always contained within the limits of the three known dimensions, requiring a resorting to some ‘monster’—unbelievable opposition blocking the way. The Real Heroic Quest is for NI, and it requires finding a new dimension beyond the 3-d. The Real Revolutionist cannot submit to a known quest. If the quest has been defined, it has been limited.
The dreams man has of Artificial Intelligence breakthroughs in the computer field, are at base the equivalent of saying the new computers will be able to…follow more complex instructions!!

The salient feature of a faux revolutionist is his embrace of institutionalized freedom.

(Here’s a curio for your records): On a sparsely populated planet in the elusive time zone, they
have a widely embraced myth whose message is that a man can be a hero more than once.

In that the only vitality of history for the Revolutionist is in his evolved, personal reenactment, you do realize that your own Viking, and Columbian adventures are not in physical travels to new worlds, but are in journeys to new ways of thinking.

During a brief stop over at a place not too far from here, I was idling through a school book I found on a bench, and found the following inscription written on the inside back cover,
“The dimensions of my world
are the forces that shape
and direct all of my
possibilities; if I do
not assist them now, they may never forgive me.”

The many daughters and sons gathered around the old man’s bed as he obviously approached death, and the eldest asked if he had any final words to leave them, and he said, “Yes…
to be human is to
be molecular.”

At first, the Real Explorer seeks “THE MAP”, a map that is permanent,
indelible, and inviolate…
later, such notions are
mere grin-fodder..

In gravitational, three dimensional worlds, to “think about” something is to measure it, and do note that some use feet, others use meters, some measure height while others take width.

A younger lad inquired of the old man, “When you speak of something as being from ‘one view’, and then apparently refer to the same thing as from ‘another view’, is the difference in the two views that one is actually spatial, and the other temporal?”
“I will answer you, but first
another question, by which
view will you receive my
response?”

A king overheard one of his grown sons say, “No matter what happens
the gods will keep us warm.”
and corrected him thusly,
“No, no; if you must
speak of such matters
be more precise, say, ‘No matter what happens, our thinking about the gods may keep some of us warm’.”

“Look here,” said the first voice, “You like metaphorical snacks, so
chew on this one – priests take
holiday tours of sewers so as to
be better priests,” and the second
voice thought, “0.k., then where
does that leave
sewer workers?”

From another more expansive physical scrutiny, the problem with apologies is that they are an uncertain attempt to redirect a particular energy flow perceived as incorrect…the key
term being,
“uncertain attempt.”

“But, ah,” said the knight responding to an attack on his intelligence,
“You do not know of the many books
in my library.”, and the millwright
thought, “And I have a can of
gasoline yet I
do not fart
carbon monoxide.”

…and Kyroot said:
One’s sensation of cohesiveness, (if not downright dull conformity), can be encouraged by simply remembering that if its four o’clock here its also four
o’clock somewhere else.
(P.S.: Those in real excitable positions tend not
to get this.)

The older writers and thinkers who have forever assured man that there
is no “straight road” to this,
or that desirable location did
so because they did not know
the road.
