it.”

***

Anyone who believes that men are the source of their own
thoughts will believe anything.

***

A creature can possess higher mental functions and still not

in which the center is not still, but rather, flabby.

***

Since men cannot determine who hit them, they like to point
to their bruises.

***

The first sounds men heard from the creative source were not
words, but rather — warmth and light.

…..Why myths must be verbal and understanding not.

***

Uncontrolled thought is not conscious thought; what you
automatically do, life tells you is “conscious thought.”

***

There is no high ground in Flabland. The soft condition of
ordinary mentation is one out of which a thinker cannot simply
waddle.

***

The way you can tell that something is physically alive is
that it moves; and it moves because it feels, and it feels
because it eats. What can you tell about a creature mentally?

***

The alert’s only comment regarding everyday affairs should
be: “No comment.”
***

New Science — A New View: Once men developed telescopes —
and could see beyond their own solar system — they were done
for.

***

Don’t waste energy looking for the source of your thoughts —
but rather, ponder the origin of all thinking.

minds properly misdirected. (…and I might add — the
intelligentsia, reasonably sane.)

so; where do you think you got it from!?

***

After the initial whirlwind, a few men sought out a fresh
center and new high ground, while some of the ordinary, in
simplistic imitation, built monasteries.

***

A man’s mind told him: “I am too busy to be alert and
mindful.” And the man asked, “Why?” And his mind replied: “I
don’t know.”

***

The ordinary find anything unnatural, annoying; a thinker
finds his own natural, mental state the height of so.

***

A New Kitchen — A New Recipe: There is no nourishment to a
stew continually stirred.

***

“Remember this, men,” said one man to some men, “the fate of
the world doesn’t depend on us.”

…..Physically — the fate of you doesn’t depend on you;
mentally — an alternative future is just barely within your
grasp.

***

Genealogy, Cosmology, And The Natural Order Of Verbal
Sequence: Suns don’t speak — they force fathers to.

***

As he struggled with his mental situation, one man thought:
“Help — I’m being pulled down — except it’s not actually ‘down’
— but rather, ‘sideways’ — in all possible directions.”

…Addendum: Make note: The alert never say “Help.”

***

The ordinary, with their ordinary mental hungers, will stand
in the serving line and discuss almost anything — such as:
Man’s soul, man’s spirit, his cosmic potential — almost
anything to keep from having to deal with that ever-present bowl
of gelatin.

***

For the mindful — life sends out a daily alert …each &
every morning.

***

The ordinary find anything unusual, irritating; a thinker
finds his own usual mental condition supremely so.

***

Physically — we’re all part of a web; mentally — each man
is the center of himself. Truth: Physically — we’re all part
of a web; mentally — each man is the center of himself…kind
of.

One man thought: “I can do magic tricks! — I have a
vaporous bowl of jello that can speak!”

burned.

That which man has created, is all he sees fit to critique.

…..Those who believe men, create their creations, will —
after that — swallow it all.

***

Man’s development of physical space travel is a prelude to
what’s to come.

***

The ordinary find all unnecessary effort, aggravating; a
thinker finds his own disinclination to pursue so, extremely so.

***

The center of the storm; the secret is at the center of the
storm; the secret is at the center of the everyday storm.

***

Once you find the right word for something, you can put it
on it — and then forget it.

***

Unmindful mentation has a plan, even if you didn’t plan it.
What d’ya say to that!?

***

Myths are a stall for metaphors; metaphors, a cover for
symbols.

…..All targets misrepresent the nature of the bulls eye.

***

The alert have but one nemesis — inner jello.

***

Man is the only puzzle which when disassembled reveals no
more than it did originally.

of value.

look far away and see so much.
