Notes by TK
As long as a man feels separate from the awakened state it fosters a ‘spookiness’ to it and is the greatest barrier to same.
The News
95006-1
Right in the middle of everything, a man stood and declared:
“We do not know one billionth of one tenth of one half per cent about anything,” and another voice inquired:
“Did you say one billionth of one tenth of one per cent,
Or of one half per cent?”
And the first man proclaimed even louder than before:
“Now there is a prime-ola example of the very lack of attention that causes the condition I just mentioned.”
And the second man immediately felt so embarrassed! — so humiliated! So stupid and guilty, that he passed for a normal person.

The reason that mystical schools never have mirrors is that they don’t want those on the verge of, “Getting it,” to get the wrong idea.

A man approached the guard at the entrance to the building and asked: “Am I the museum of natural history?” to which the guard replied, “You certainly look like you are.”

It has been said that: the more corrupt the state — the more numerous the laws, but duck-press it a bit forward, and ponder:
The more impotent the mind — the more it knows.

There was once a man who “Sang to himself,” explaining that the only way it was bearable was the fact that he was tone deaf.

As soon as life allowed Adam & Eve to start going out on day passes, one of the first things they began to do was, “Talk to themselves,” except they right-off commenced confusing this with talking to each other.
The not-to-be-outdone neuro-surgeon looked inside and admitted: “Sometimes I still can’t tell one side from the other (!?!)” which may be why he continues to be confined to 3 dimensional operating rooms. .(and why John Phillip Sousa’ girlfriend continues to bug him as to why everyone marches to the cadence of only: “One, two — one, two — one two.”)
95006-4
While again on one of his periodic visits to the
Grand erotic harem of internal mystical delights,
One man, reflecting back of his mundane-huh,
Suddenly thought how like his everyday mental operations are to a cold hand griping one’s johnson.
Noted consciousness:
“It’s hard to keep-it-up,
When the only stimulation you have is thought.”
95006-5
Some days you seem closer than others, and some days, further away,
But just how far, ask yourself,
From life can you stray!?
95006-6
In trying to run this maze,
You’re not unlike the rat,
Schoolin’ won’t do you near the good, as will constantly gnawing.
95006-7
In his attempt to be soulful,
One guy began writing a blues song:
“Oh why — oh why,
Why was I ever born,” at which point life interrupted him and said: “Say look, we’ve got two problems here;
First off is that-this idea has already been: run -into-the-ground, and second is that even if I told you, you still wouldn’t know.”
And the guy decided that he might take up….Ah…Ah painting., maybe.
95006-8
How you can tell – (ah, you could probably do it already,
But here it is any way) -“How you can tell”:
The weak like to talk about their weakness.
95006-9
Everyone can be a fool and not know it …except the awakened,
Everyone can be asleep and not know it …except the enlightened,
Hell, everyone can be anything they wanna be..except they can’t.
“Then, hell!” (You ask), “Where does that leave the more alert!?”
Can you picture a road map with no edges, and no stable destinations?!?

The mystic’s boogie: “Beat me daddy eight to the everything.”

95006-10
People – (even amongst those apparently involved in stuff like this) -who don’t really know what’s serious and what’s not,
Always seem the most serious.
Okay, put another way:
To make up for not knowing what’s really serious, men are inclined to act serious.
…(and civilization nodded its sincere approval.)
95006-11
Words are important! ….Well at least they can be.
In his continuing frolic of confusing the words, “Etymology” & “Ornothology,” this one man had his brand new suit ruined by a red-breasted preposition.
Illation: never under-estimate the power of…stuff.
95006-12
The ordinary’s general motto is: “Don’t over-do persistence & consistency!” – ….Except of course, in one particular area —
and that, of course, being in remaining ordinary and all that that entails.

Man’s collective mind flutters its eyes as to him it coos and flirts: “I just love-e-e it when you don’t tie me up and slap me around.”

95006-13
A man wrote Muhammad:
“If the attempt to become conscious at a new level is the ultimate hobby, then is not the effort to remain ordinary and as you are
The double-ultimate one!?”
Finding: routine minds will remain as they are, regardless — so, why screw with ’em!?
(plus, you save postage.)
95006-14
Those who profess that what happens locally is of unique importance
May well be educated and intelligent — but they still don’t know nuthin’!
95006-15
Know thyself,
Study thyself,
Straighten up there, and get in step:
The routine love to say that: “we can’t know where we’re going unless we know where we’ve been,”
Since they can’t comprehend, either.
95006-16
All sane, reflective people
Periodically feel that they have forgotten some secret they once knew.
Moral:
All sane, reflective people
Periodically feel that they have forgotten some secret they once knew.
95006-17
To the natural mind, everything about the enlightenment sounds spooky! ….That’s because it wants it to.
95006-18
Superior definition of an artist:
One who’s never seen a painting,
Read a book,
Heard a symphony,
Or in any other manner,
Personally entertained the out-put of another.
Upshot: only those who can’t create,
Have any respect for those who can.

A reporter asked a lion:
“Is it trying, having to live among jackals?” And he burped and replied: “Huh?!?
* * *
To the keen of eye — ignorance is visible.

95006-20
Those weak and dense believe that if you’ll feel sorry for them that you’ll like them.
Attention, all who would awaken: don’t let your own mind make you fall-for-this
Regarding the thoughts it has.
95006-20(b)
Medical news from a closed system:
Therein is everything a placebo -including all real drugs.
95006-21
The ever-exciting justice of it all:
Only would-be mystics bow to mystical training.
95006-22
It is extremely difficult for the mind not to argue with what it hears since such is part of its normal structure;
Can you thus further recognize the inherent impediment in trying to convey to it, anything remotely resembling “Objective knowledge”!?
95006-23
Today’s pitching tip:
How to throw a slider — and keep your hat on at the same time:
If you “Talk to men” — you’ll learn little;
If you talk to men a lot — you’ll learn even less;
But, if you learn to “Listen to life” — -ah! well -then we have ourselves another ballgame entirely.
95006-24
Genes: the only silent, cosmic objects with whom the more awakened communicate. ….. …Maybe.
95006 -25
Superior mathematics:
Those who believe that there is something in man’s past to which he should return, are one number,
But those who further believe that he can,
Are an even sorrier digit than the first.
Remember: if with this you find favor – “You heard it here first!” If not — somewhere else,
95006-26
And yet one more way to spot the words of the enlightened:
They will convince no one of anything.
95006-27
Educational update:
No need to study history — you’re sitting on it.

Patriotic karmic supplement:
As he was being led to the hanging tree of possibilities, he said: “I regret that I have but one past life to give to my future.”
And so it goes….When you’re on your toes.

95006-28
One man began to wonder if “Those-who-know,”
Aren’t given a memory that somehow — works in reverse (!?!)
95006-29
Some more of that invisible, internal justice that seems so questionable:
In spite of the warnings from his friends,
One man, who struggled for that extraordinary understanding, continued to spasmodically remind himself of the possibility that only he took life seriously,
While it is the routinely dazed-&-dunder-headed who quietly know better.
95006 – 29-B
Those who believe that the more awakened are saints and do-gooders
Have reason to be spooked…that is if abject ignorance was fair cause for the jitters.
95006-29(c)
Defined —
The extraordinary
Talking about
Ordinary affairs:
A cat playing with a mouse — no! — with 6 billion mouses.
95006-30
Why men have public institutions; gather in groups; hold up heroes; talk, and fret over fashion & their position in the herd:
The precarious don’t like to be insulted – and the certain, can’t.
95006-31
Dr. Zork’s prescription for when you’re feeling almost well enough to realize how sickly you generally accept you to be in spite of the fact that you’re still sufficiently healthy to make such a specious determination. (I herein quote it in its blunt, labyrinthine entirety):
“Feed a mind — starve a smaller one.”
95006-32
When enlightened-pushing comes to awakened-shoving, there is but one sin-of-seriousness:
Taking what you normally think to be so.
95006-32-(b)
All talk is entertainment,
And the more alert are more directly entertained.
95006-33
How to know you’re dumb is when you’re so dumb you don’t even know that you are …(same regarding being of routine consciousness.)
95006-34
Would-be mystics take monasteries & secret rituals
To be of more importance, than say, back yards & walks on the beach.
Man’s ordinary mind will stand on its tip toes to try and see the ground, while those who’ve greased their thoughts properly
Can sit back and enjoy the sights & sounds of the skating rink.
95006-35
The great mythical quest attracts all types of people:
One would-be knight, when asked what he hoped for in his journey, replied: “To get laid.”
Verdict: the quest is composed of the same creatures who make up the general population of life — humans.
