The simple have only the physical or fashion to distinguish themselves. The Mystic is distinguishable only to himself.
The News

The best way to learn anything new is to always be prepared to
Hear something totally unexpected that will dry-to-the-touch within 45 minutes, and pay 3 to 1 if the matador is an elephant.
…and now back to the election results:
94083- 2
One man said he once thought about the size of the universe, and it made his head hurt,
He then thought of the size of his head, and made the universe recoil.
94083- 3
After a childhood of excited curiosity and wonder,
This one man, once he was grown, and finally heard of such matters as: mysticism,
Enlightenment,
And all of the other efforts to become more conscious,
He immediately decided on-the-spot: “That’s it! — I’ll do it!
I’ll pursue it, and to it devote my entire life
(or the next eight years, whichever comes first).
94083- 4
Being civilized is merely a metaphor for, “Being civilized.”
“Daddy, is this why on some worlds the word, ‘education’ is considered a fallen euphemism!?”
94083- 5
A contemporary concern update:
There are no such people as, “Poor communicators,”
— merely people with nothing to communicate.
94083- 6
Soon after the “Garden unpleasantness,”
Life told everyone: “Lay down when you get tired.”
But soon had to revise it by adding: “I meant mentally!
You dolts!”
94083- 7
A mother advised her daughter:
“Don’t ever get in a relationship with a man who requires your
Encouragement, and reassurances to keep himself up-&-running,” and the girl replied:
“Are we actually a mother and daughter talking, or
Simply my consciousness speaking to my attention regarding routine awarness?”
94083- 8
If the mystical adventure is the one valid quest for the cure,
Then remember this as you travel along:
As long as you’re condemnin’ — you can’t be a’curin.’
94083-9
Any good photographer knows that if you take enough shots of
Any action situation,
You’ll eventually get one that makes it all look like “Magic” —
—same as with a good thinker and his thoughts.
94083 -10
As local conditions was showing an out-of-galaxy relative around earth,
He said to him:
“If you think humans hate physical exercise,
Just wait’l I tell you about another part of them.”
Only the extremely dim-wited should any longer be excused
For not realizing why the big guns and most torturous weapons
Bring up the rear of the parade —
…(said weapons being of course — the past.)
94083-11
One day one man said to his son:
“Since all of the intellectually civilized, ‘talk to themselves,’
You have a certain individual choice:
You can either — talk to awareness, or,
Talk to attention.
Now, which it’ll it be, boy?
And this alone kept the lad busy for the next thirty years…

The way ordinary men’s 60-called, “Creative imagination” works
Vis a vis one chap’s notation involving both his
Outdoor activity and fast food dinning:
(notes he): on drugs I go-a’fishin’, then eat at long john silver’s.
94083-12
Some updating of our: new intelligence dictionary:
If “Entertainment” is paying someone else to talk to yourself for you then “Education” is paying someone else to argue with yourself for you.
And a fellow in back whispered:
“Thank god you can’t do that regarding trying to be more conscious!” …(see — that last part was our little “joke for the day.”)

Hormones make you think one thing — neurons, another.
— a mystic makes himself think.
94083-14
One guy was kinda amazed to conclude on his own that:
To “Get ahead” you have to have a head.
His mother, (watching him write about this, over his shoulder),
Suggested that instead of saying he was amazed at this,
That he say he was “Surprised at this.”
Although parent cells aren’t normally arranged to do you harm,
The past is never a vital source of advice.
A man once asked the town philosopher:
“Just because you can explain something,
Does that necessarily mean that you understand it?”
And the wise one replied:
“Hell! – just because you understand something
Doesn’t necessarily mean that you understand it.”
The king, in an imaginary moment of extraordinary insight,
Directed the guards: “Round up all the conclusions in the kingdom
And shoot ’em!”
94083-15
A tip from the old spiritual weight room:
No one can meet the standards of their religion’s founder
Who do not have muscles of steel in the area of attention.
Those anxious to expand their consciousness
Could consider a mystic as one willing to “Spot you” until you can do it alone.
Also: situated somewhere in this general vacinity rests the reason that
Physical rituals remain more popular than less specific internal exertions.
94083-16
A city employement tip:
If you want attention, but have no particular talent, there are still several occupations open to you.
94083-17
One day one man told local conditions: “I have a headache,”
And conditions nodded as if to say: “Yeah, I know,” but the man persisted:
“But I’ve had one most all my life!” and conditions just shrugged,
And the man raised his voice: “Well – what’s the meaning of it?” and conditions finally replied: “It’s just growing pains.”
And in a peculiar way, the man was somewhat relieved.
94083-18
What’s the difference between the simple, the ordinary, the religious,
And the mystical? —
The simple don’t feel as though they’re sick,
The ordinary do,
The religious do, but don’t know where’s the cure,
And the mystical ate ’em all up in his own stomach years-s-s ago.
Anyone can be as smart as everyone else,
And anyone can be as dumb as everyone else,
But it takes (ladies & gentlemen), a real man to be both.

A space craft from another galaxy hovered over earth while they
Sent down a scout to see if men were ready to have their consciousness
Expanded,
And when he returned to the ship, he presented his findings:
“The young are too dumb, and the old are too stupid,”
And the commander of the expedition replied:
“Good lord man, do you realize what you’ve just said!? —
You’ve just-given us a perfect report of an endless parade.”
94083-20
A boy asked his dad:
“Are you going to make sacrafices so as to give me advantages you never had?”
And his ole man replied: “Why should I do that!?” and the kid said:
“I heard the man next door say that to his son.” and the father replied:
“Are we speaking literally here, or allegorically?” and the lad asked:
“Do you mean about giving me advantages, or the people next door?” and his dad responded: “You think there’s a difference!?”
Regardless of what history teaches,
It is not poor diet and the black plague that fells man but the ultimate reality-of-metaphor.
“Ma ma, is this why some men secretly have three ears!?”
94083-21
Artistic hierarchy update:
Okay,
If inside every mystic is a dead philosopher, then inside every philosopher is a dead poet, okay!?
94083-22
And from our medical desk comes this item:
Drugs only become dangerous and addictive when they cease being entertainment,
And a man was so struck:
“Is this actually trying to tell me something about the nature of ordinary thought?”
94083-23
On a particularing trying day,
One lad’s father said to him:
“If it makes you feel any better, remember this:
Local conditions take orders same as you do.”
94083-23 – (b)
An example of what those whose awareness is totally held by the parade itself
Are want to call progress is typified, for instance, by the changing
Of a store’s opening time from ten o’clock to nine-thirty,
Which, as a matter of fact, is what it was last year.
…oh, all right —
For the more “Serious” students of human affairs,
A more serious version of the above:
What must normally pass for displays of civilized progress
Are such scenes as important looking men debating whether
Bullshit smells worse now, or back in grandfather’s day.
94083—24
A story from the city:
As the mystic was filing out the form
The knowledgable man at the desk whispered to him: “In the blanks for occupation
And hobbies, if I were you,
I wouldn’t mention any of ‘that stuff.'”
94083 -25
Under civil conditions when mens’ mental powers fail,
They oftimes attempt to call down the wrath of their genes,
94083-25b
The simple, to try and distinguish themselves,
Have little choice but to do so physically or through fashion.
Withal: a more compleete man is distinguishable only to himself.
94083 -26
The past is always condemning the present,
And this is why the more conscious must forever stay ahead —
Way up ahead,
In the future.
94083 -27
Though questions still remain, the investigation continues.
The above statement was not issued by the federal bureau of mysticism.
94083-28
One thinker’s thought:
The body’s main hobby is staying alive,
The mind’s seem to be: health, wealth, and power.
Somebody’s gettin’ the short end.
94083-29
Now this, from our: “Get simple department”:
As long as you take mental life seriously, you’ll never get more conscious.
94083-30
If you can catagorize a particular mystic,
Something is wrong with you or him one.
94083-31
As they sat on the porch a father told his son:
“Since your brain stays as aggitated as your stomach,
You do realize what this means!?”
And the lad replied:
“You mean do I realize the possibilities this offers!?”
And the old man responded:
“No, I mean do you realize the obstacle this presents!?”
And the child said: “Are you sure!?”
And after a brief reflection, the father said:
“You’re right — I like your version better.”
…and: rock, rock — went they both.
94083-32
When life finally did pull a gun on this one guy he said:
“You better go ahead and kill me,
Cause nothing else you can do any longer frightens me.”
Spoke like a man — like a real conscious man.
94083-33
Flash! —
One man got so weary of talking to himself that he damn-near stopped.
94083-34
Consciousness as per military stategy:
Controlled attention is like a pre-emptive strike against stupidity.
94083-35
And now– a definition from our collector’s corner:
Reality: a mystic’s ephemeralia
