Notes by TK
Kyroot to :08. The “It’s actually pretty simple” mythical church, whose main method is “PlainThink” (PT) as opposed to “thing-creating-thought”. The first step of PlainThink is to speak the ‘thing’ but think the process. This places emphasis on the action rather than the actor. E.g., “A sudden exit seems appropriate” in place of “I’ve got to get out of here”. Turn the action itself into the subject, not the actor, which is always a self-referring system. A knowledgeable disregard for conventional thinking = PlainThink.
PT ignores causal connections between events, of episodic conclusions/explanations.. PT is not fatalism. Only when you know what you think does it count (i.e., = PT). Connection: toil for the purchase of PT essentials vs. shopping for Secondary Level World fashionable ideas. A different currency is required for PT merchandise.

that there IS another

the lad,
sensing he had little time left for juvenile pursuits
screamed to himself, “I thought you said ‘IMPORTANT’!”

From magician to mortician
Simply because he still couldn’t spell “prestidigitator”.

are twin planets,
on one of which they believe
that confession and any verbal revealing of what one is
produces quantum bits of new personal strength
while on the other orb they vehemently hold to the opposite;
…(At times these two worlds are closer together
than they are far apart,
and at other times they are nearer to you
than you are to them.)

What it used to be.”, and
His partner-guy says,
“But neither is anything else.”,
To which the guy replies,
“You mean any WHERE else, don’t you?”,
Partner says,
“Do I?”

The first guy thinks,”Hummm,
A nice condo by the
Frontal lobes might be nice.”)
