Notes by TK
Kyroot to :06. All processes must be made thing-specific. The processes of fear, failure, illness, death are turned into thing-specifics by religion, namely as “demons” (with characteristics), i.e., demons of fear, sickness etc. Processes cannot be perceived, only participated in. They must be converted to thing-specifics to be perceived, thereby becoming the commerce of the ordinary mind. Processes demand effort, thing-specifics only acceptance.
The Primary Level world is one of process; the Secondary Level world is one of thing-specifics. All worthy efforts/processes of the Primary Level World are seen as paying off in Secondary Level World thing-specifics rather than in processes. For example, the “Christian life” is paid off with “immortality,” a thing-specific. It is never seen that process itself can be its own payoff. To the Real Revolutionist, worthy processes are their own payoff, not a thing-specific.

One kid, way over there, way off so far that you don’t have to worry about it, said, “Ole-man, I sometimes fear I can’t live up to your expectations.” And the father replied, “Hell, why sweat it, I can’t live up to them either.”

Even with a performer and an audience available and anxious, remember –
No words,

One ruler told his people that he was “really tired and stressed out” and was going on an indefinite leave; he said, “For now, you’ll have to dominate yourselves.”

that include mistreating ourselves also?”)

The critic approached the performer, offered his hand and a drink and said,
“I didn’t even know if you’d speak to me after that blistering review I did of you; to tell you the truth I didn’t know what you’d think about it.”
The artist replied, “And you were right.”

On this partially forgettable little planet I recently dropped in on a

Convention wherein I heard one speaker propose, “Let all those who poo-poo the power of names and numerology take note of this: no one named Ashkenazy or Rachmaninoff has ever played in Merle Haggard’s band.

Regardless of how it clearly seems in secondary affairs in the City, the real strength, the

Unless you plan to settle down and retire in the City, memorize these
Refreshing Rules Of Rebellious Etiquette:
Don’t dwell on “seems,”
Don’t lean on “apparently,”
And never, ever drink with the “obvious.”
