Notes by TK
Kyroot to :11. What do all the following have in common?: the need for heroes; the lure of antiquity, devotion to fashion; intrigue with poetic pessimism, all forms of chauvinism; polishing of the desire for revenge; great concern for death, concern for the continued march of progress; all reminiscing; all notions of gods. They are all forms/aspects of the genetic line of succession, or proper replacement in Life’s expansion thru man (Secondary Level World, not Primary Level World). It is the need at the genetic, cellular level and not at the level of man’s intellect, which informs all the foregoing aspects.
An independent thinker remains separate from these genetic needs; does not “dance with destiny”; is aloof from aligning with any pro- or con-party, i.e., he thinks more than is necessary. New slant on Neuralization: thinking of more than one thing at a time; facing the future with as little connection to the past as possible. What cost do these genetic needs exact from man?

On another world there was once a group
who seemed so silly that they were taken as a joke;
they persisted in this for such a time that they became frightening;
they then continued on this course to such a point that
their neighbors again began to take them as a joke.

“But do try to look beyond such temporary distractions,
and for instance, let me today point out for you the
metaphoric, the symbolic – yeah, and even the literal,
every day truth that; The cheaper you are
the harder it is to find a bargain.

the kid further thought,
” ‘A bit’, can you believe it?
‘A bit abstruse’ – Wow!,

(Quote): “A mind that keeps banker’s hours will soon be rolling in dough.”:,
This is not actually a Kyroot, but a suggestion
for one that I received in the mail;
I offer it up here just as an example
so’s to help you always recognize the “real thing”
from the fraudulent.
(The only problem with this
effort is in the fact that
I make up most of my mail also.)

to call an imaginary halt to this fallaciousness.)
