Notes by TK
Kynoot to :08. The in-specificity, ambiguity and uncertainty of words has its main strength and charm in the Secondary Level World. In the individual’s dialogue with Life, Life is always speaking in a foreign tongue. Thus all attempts to change arise out of incomplete reception of Life’s governing instructions thru you to you. The difficulty of governing and being governed in a foreign tongue appears to be a great inefficiency because of the ambiguity generated, but it is actually a super-efficiency; it is a kind of animating glue that holds everything together.
The golden rule and the Ten Commandments are actually very ambiguous despite their apparent directness and succinctness. Their ambiguity is that nobody really knows what they mean, thus they are effectively a foreign language none understand, while thinking they do understand.
The Secondary Level World is the continual process of making silent, Primary Level World activities to be more palatable, more civilized, more than they are. Advertising is a prime example of this. The Real Revolutionist has got to construct a new language so as to speak unequivocally with himself.
Ordinary lives of men are no different from “Dr. Stillman’s water diet”; men’s lives don’t much harm or help them, but are just inconvenient enough to give a feeling of accomplishment in the mere stumbling thru it.

On a Wednesday, this one chap said his daily studies could lead him,
in all fairness, to make only this statement:
No one loves a smart ass but his mother…which can work out all right,
since a real good smart ass wouldn’t have a mother.

me ‘squirt-kid’ for the one thousandth time I shall then begin to cranially assault

Over in a darker corner I overheard an oldster confide in a youngster,
“There is one miserable problem to life here on this world, my lad, there are people to tell you ‘what to do,’ but no one to make you do it.”
…(They both enjoyed a darn good cry.)

As he verbally prepared to reject the poor man’s application for a loan, the banker mused, “Giving a bird another wing would not necessarily better the bird’s life. “The applicant, sensing the drift of the conversation, complimented the money lender on his axiomatic insights regarding our flying friends and kicked him severely in the kidneys.

One fellow looked at himself intently in the mirror and said, “Would it have been better if the sequence had been that I began, ‘wondering how to get in,’ then later worried about how to ‘get out’? or if I had started by ‘wondering how to get out,’ and then worried about how to ‘get in’?”
He looked even deeper into his own shallow eyes, and realized he didn’t have any idea what he was talking about.
When, however, he glanced away, his reflection winked.

On a mid-sized, hard to describe planet, partially hidden just over behind those cloudy trees, their guiding principle is confidently wrapped in their oft repeated motto:
“If the cups were bigger,
They would hold more.”
…(The arresting aspect thereto, as I find it, is that they have a lot to learn, OR much to teach.)

I once met this one ruler who pretty well understood the whims and
ephemerae of the people, and who in private often referred to himself as,
“The King Of Make-Shift”…
…(After a while the people learned of this, and soon they all wanted to call themselves that too.)
