MY NEWS FOR JUNE 28, 1999 COPYRIGHT 1999; JAN COX
QUESTION: IF YOU DIDN’T ALLOW CONSCIOUSNESS TO COMPLAIN, (IN ITS FREE TIME WHEN IT’S NOT PROBLEM SOLVING), WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WOULD DO THEN?
AS SOLOMON LOVED TO SAY IN THE PRIVACY OF HIS HAREM:
“BETTER TO LIVE WITH A HUNDREDFAMILIARDEVILS1HANTOTHROWOPEN YOUR HOUSE TO YOUR WIFE’S RELATIVES,”, IN OTTER WOIRDS:
A MAN WHO KNOWS WHAT’S GOING ON DOESN”T COMPLAIN
EVEN ABOUT HIS CONSCIOUSNESS’ COMPLAINING, IN UTTER WERKS:
YOU CAN’T REALLY “SEE” UNTIL YOU CAN LOOK IN THE WRONG END OF A TELESCOPE AND WHEN YOU REALIZE YOUR MISTAKE, NOT SEE MENTAL
PICTURES OF YOU MAKING THE MISTAKE, IN ODDER WURDS:
YOU DON”T REALLY REALIZE WHAT’S GOING ON AS LONG AS YOU STILL CARE WHAT’S GOING ON.
AND SOMEONE ASKS:”BUT CAN A PERSON AFFORD TO LIVE THEIR LIFE SEPARATED FROM THEIR OWN CONSCIOUSNESS?”, AND I REPLY:
THE FEW CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE THEIRS OTHERWISE…NOT IN PEACE, AT LEAST,
XXX
AS PER READING’ AND WRITIN’ ABOUT ALL OF THIS:
THERE IS ONLY ONE THING MORE WEARISOME AND WASTEFUL THAN ENTERTAINING OTHER PEOPLE’S TELLING OF THE MISTAKES MEN MAKE MAKE IN THEIR LIVES, AND HOW THEY SHOULD BE LIVING THEM, AND THAT IS IN YOU GETTING LOST IN THINKING ABOUT SUCH RUBBISH YOURSELF.
…(AT LEAST WHEN YOU GET IT OUT OF A BOOK YOU BOUGHT YOU HAVE THE SATISFACTION OF HAVING PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THE PRIVILEGE.)
WHEN YOU PUSH THE DINGY OF CONSCIOUSNESS AWAY FROM THE BIG BOAT OF THE ESSENTIAL YOU,
ALL OF THE TALK COMING FROM THE DINGY THEN SOUNDS RIDICULOUS
FROM YOUR VANTAGE POINT ABOARD THE LARGER VESSEL.
99091-2
SOME ADVICE A FATHER LAID ON A SON:
“A MAN WITH ANYTHING LEFT TO SAY ISN’T WORTH LISTENING TO,
IF YOU’RE GONNA GIVE ANY ATTENTION TO ANY MAN’S WORDS
ONLY DO SO WITH ONE WHO DOESN’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU.”,
AND AS THE LAD WAS NODDING AND REFLECTING ON THIS, THE ELDER ADDED:
“AND YOU CAN CARRY WHAT I’VE JUST SAID, INSIDE YOUR OWN HEAD,
AND USE IT TO SAVE YOURSELF FROM MUCH WASTED TIME
LISTENING TO VACUOUS VOICES.”
XXX
THE ACTIVITY THAT GOES ON IN THE DINGHY ONLY TAKES PLACE IN THE EXACT SPOT WHERE YOU ARE STANDING THEREIN,
WHEREAS ON THE BIG BOAT,
THE ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE ARE TAKING PLACE ALL OVER THE BOAT,
THIS IS WHY IT’S SAID THAT:”THE BIG BOAT ROCKS WHILE THE DINGHYTERELYSUCKS.”
PONDER THIS: IF WE REMOVED CONSCIOUSNESS,
WHERE WOULD THEN BE THE CENTER OF YOU?
XXX
THE NUMBER ONE TRAVEL DESTINATION AMONG THE WORLD’S MAJOR ILLUSIONS IS: “ADVICE-LAND”:
THE NUMBER TWO IS: “SIX FLAGS OVER: “I’LL THINK ABOUT THAT.”,
AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PUSH IT, THE THIRD MOST POPULAR DESTINATION IS: INSIDE A BLENDER THAT DANTE CARRIES IN HIS BACKPACK.
TRYING TO AWAKEN, ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT, (AND THE LIKE) IN THE
LAND OF CONSCIOUSNESS IS LIKE WRESTLING WITH YOURSELF — WITH YOUR SELF! –
— DOES ANYONE SEE THIS?
WHILE YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THIS ACTIVITY REMAINS AT THAT LEVEL
YOU ARE BOTH THE DINGHY TRYING TO “GO SOME WHERE”,
BUT ALSO THE UNRELEASABLE ROPE TYING YOU TO WHERE YOU ARE,
AND WHERE IN FACT, THE DINGY OF CONSCIOUSNESS WILL ALWAYS BE.
99091-3
AND ONE MAN COMMENTS: “FOR MANY, MANY, SERIOUS, SINCERE AND,
SWEAT-DRENCHED YEARS DID I WANT-TO, AND TRIED-TO AWAKEN:
BUT NOW THAT I REALIZE WHAT’S IT’S ACTUALLY ALL ABOUT,
I DON’T BELIEVE THAT IT’S WORTH THE EFFORT.
…NOW SEE, I SAY THAT NOW —
NOW THAT I REALIZE HOW LITTLE EFFORT IS REALLY NECESSARY,
BUT YET HOW MUCH EXCESSIVE EFFORT YOU MUST FIRST EXERT
TO REACH THIS REALIZATION.”
…AND TO HIMSELF, LAO’S MOST RIB TICKLING SAYS[NG WAS:
“IT REQUIRES MUCH STUPIDITY BEFORE ONE BECOMES SMART ENOUGH TO PROPERLY APPRECIATE STUPIDITY.”
AND ON ONE PLANET, MEN HAVE PETS THAT WILL ONLY COME INSIDE WHEN YOU PUT THEM OUT SIDE.
AND A MAN WRITES TO SAY: “SOME OF YOUR METAPHORS, I UNDERSTAND,
AND SOME, I DO NOT, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS.”, MY PLEASURE:
IT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE AN IDIOT —
YOU BELIEVE THAT SOME WORDS STRUNG TOGETHER IN A CERTAIN WAY CAN HAVE SIGNIFICANCE REGARDING A MAN’S LIFE, WHEREAS THEY DO NOT.
[F YOU FEEL THE NEED TO “STUDY” SOMETHING IN ORDER TO “LIVE” PROPERLY
THEN LOOK TO BIRDS, WORMS, CLOUDS, INSTEAD OF BOOKS AND OTHER MENS’ MOUTHS.
(NOT THAT BIRDS OR SLUGS WANT TO TEACH YOU ANYTHING,
OR KNOW ANYTHING THAT A MAN NEEDS TO KNOW TO LIVE THE LIFE OF A MAN,
BUT AT LEAST THEY AREN’T ARROGANTLY DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE,
[LIKE ANOTHER CERTAIN CREATURE I COULD MENTION, BUT WON’T].)
I TRUST SIR, THAT THIS SATISFIES YOUR INQUIRY,
XXX
CONSCIOUSNESS IS LIKE A LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE: :INHABITED BY APPARITIONS: THE SPOOKS AND SPIRITS OF: WORDS AND THOUGHTS,
XXX
99091-4
IF YOU STILL THINK THAT IT IS A METAPHOR WHEN I SAY THAT
AN ENLIGHTENED MAN DOESN’T KNOW ANY MORE THAN AN ORDINARY MAN — HE KNOWS LESS — AND ON A REAL GOOD DAY KNOWS NOTHING, THEN YOU’RE STILL LETTING CONSCIOUSNESS MISLEAD YOU,
FOR WHEN YOU FINALLY REALIZE WHAT’S GOING ON YOU WILL NO LONGER LIVE A HUMAN EXISTENCE THAT IS CENTERED AROUND THE ILLUSIONS THAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE KNOWS ANYTHING:
EVERYONE’S CONSCIOUSNESS JUST MAKES UP STUFF IN ITS FREE TIME, THEN LISTENS TO ITSELF, AND “PLAYS ALONG”.
…LISTEN TO ME: DON’T PLAY THE HELL ALONG,
XXX
AFTER HE REALIZED WHAT’S GOING ON, ONE MAN SAID:
“ALL MY LIFE I’VE HATED TO HEAR COMPLAINTS, NOW I KNOW WHY: THEY REMIND ME OF CONSCIOUSNESS.”
XXX
BASED ON OBSERVED EXPERIENCE, ONE MAN COULD WELL PREDICT THE NUMBER
OF TIMES TOMORROW THAT HE WOULD PROBABLY BE MOMENTARILY,
“LOST IN CONSCIOUSNESS” AND DO SOMETHING REALLY DUMB,
AND TO SAVE TIME HE WOULD GO AHEAD AND DO THEM TODAY AND
HAVE THEM OUT OF THE WAY,
PRECEPT: BE DUMB TOMORROW,
ALWAYS PUT OFF TO ANOTHER DAY
ANYTHING STUPID YOU MIGHT DO TODAY,
IF YOU ARE NOT “CARE FREE” YOU SIMPLY DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON.
YOUR ESSENTIAL SELF, (THE. BIG BOAT), IS ALWAYS HAPPY GO LUCKY: ONLY AFFAIRS IN THE DINGHY ARE SERIOUS AND ANTSY.
ON THE BIG BOAT IT’S ALWAYS: CHAMPAGNE, SEX AND THE MOTOWN REVUE, WHILE IN THE DINGHY YOU’RE ALWAYS FIGHTING WITH YOURSELF OVER AN IMAGINARY BOTTLE OF WARM, OLD MILWAUKEE :BEER
WHILE TWITCHING TO THE MUSIC OF YOUR OWN GRUNTS AND COMPLAINTS, (PRIMARILY CONCERNING YOUR UNSAVORY TRAVELING COMPANION IN THE DINGY. YOU WHOO — GUESS WHO?!
TO THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT, THE MOST 99091-5
JOYOUS WORDS THEY COULD EVER HEAR ARE: “MAN OVERBOARD.”
XXX
THE KING TOLD THE PRINCE: “DON’T ABUSE AND MAKE FUN OF YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS:
IT’S THE ONLY FOOL YOU HAVE.
PLUS — IT WILL NEVER ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING –
…OTHER THAN MAKE YOU YOURSELF LOOK LIKE A GULLIBLE FOOL
TO CONSCIOUSNESS.”
XXX
WHEN HE WAS OFFERED A FREE TRIP, ONE MAN DECLINED,GIVING THE EXPLANATION: “I’D PREFER NOT TO HAVE ANY NEW EXPERIENCES JUST NOW: THEY KEEP GETTING TAKEN OVER BY CONSCIOUSNESS.”
XXX
REGARDING “THE EMOTIONAL LIFE OF A SAILOR:
CONSCIOUSNESS, (DOWN IN THE DINGY), DOESN’T ACTUALLY GET THE BLUES, IT JUST PASSES ‘EM ON TO YOU,
AND ONE MAN MUTTERED: “I ENJOYED TRYING TO “WAKE UP” A LOT MORE BACK WHEN I DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT I WAS DOING:
BUT NOW (APPARENTLY THE END OF WHAT HE HAD TO SAY?!)
XXX
HERE IS YOUR NEW BANK STATEMENT, (FOR THOSE OF YOU NOW FREQUENTING
THE BIG BOAT):
IF YOU SUFFER “PROBLEMS” OF A NON PHYSICAL NATURE,
THEY ARE ALL OF YOUR OWN DOING.
…OH, YOU DIDN’T WILFULLY “BRING THEM ON”,
BUT YOU DID LET CONSCIOUSNESS TELL YOU THAT YOU HAD THEM,
AND ACCEPTED IT AS FACT.
(PLUS YOU’RE SIXTY-FOUR COMPLAINTS OVERDRAWN.)
SPEAKING OF “PROBLEMS”: CAN YOU NOW STAY OUT OF THE DINGY LONG ENOUGH TO REALIZE STARKLY THAT ALL NON-PHYSICAL PROBLEMS, LEFT ALONE, ALWAYS “SOLVE” THEMSELVES?!
IT IS BY CONSCIOUSNESS TRYING TO SOLVE, TO FIGURE-OUT SUCH SECONDARY PROBLEMS THAT THEY ARE GIVEN CONTINUED LIFE,
99091-6
SO: IF, IN CONSCIOUSNESS, YOU STOPPED TRYING TO CHANGE CONSCIOUSNESS, (THAT IS: ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT),
WHAT D’YA THINK MIGHT HAPPEN?!
HEY, DON’T RUN AWAY SO FAST: CONSIDER IT ANOTHER COUPLE OF SECONDS: IF ALL NON-PHYSICAL PROBLEMS WILL RESOLVE THEMSELVES AND GO AWAY IF THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED IN CONSCIOUSNESS
THEN DOESN’T THAT ALSO SAY THAT IF YOU CEASED TO TAKE CONSCIOUSNESS TO BE YOU THAT YOU WOULD THEN BE MORE CONSCIOUS?!
AND A MAN OFFERS THIS OBSERVATION REGARDING EMPLOYMENT, (I GUESS?!): “AT EVERY SECOND, SOME WHERE ON THIS PLANET, A NEW PERSON IS HIRED, AND AT EVERY SECOND, SOME WHERE IN MY BRAIN, AN OLD IDEA IS FIRED,”
AND THEN ANOTHER MAN SPEAKS UP: “HEY, HERE’S SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO:
YOUR ESSENTIAL SELF FINALLY DIES, BUT CONSCIOUSNESS — NEVER!
…YET ANOTHER REASON TO, “PUSH AWAY THAT DINGY”.”,
(AND THERE’S NO NEED FOR YOU INEXPERIENCED SWABBIES TO SAY THAT
YOU DON’T GET THAT ONE — WE ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU DON’T.)
XXX
AFTER A LENGTHY CONVERSATION, ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS SAID:
“I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO ADD TO WHAT I’VE SAID.”,
AND THE OTHER RETORTED: “WELL I HAVE MUCH TO SUBTRACT FROM WHAT I’VE SAID, SO I GUESS IT COMES OUT ABOUT EVEN, HUH?!”
AND ONE FATHER’S ADVICE TO A SON: “NEVER GO BY YOUR REAL NAME,
AND NEVER GO BUY SOMEONE ELSE’S USED FURNITURE,”, AND THE BOY DIDN”T BOTHER TO ASK FOR CLARIFICATION
SINCE “GOOD ADVICE” IS EITHER OBVIOUS ON ITS FACE OR ITS NOT.
(AND THE OLD MAN SAID: “HEY, WHAT’IS THAT ON YOUR FACE ANY WAY?”
..AND FROM THE DINGY ADDITIONAL VOICES CALLED OUT:
“WE DON’T GET THAT ONE EITHER.” — RIGHT, SOME SURPRISE.)
XXX
STRUGGLING TO BECOME WHOLE, OUR SELF WE FURTHER DIVIDE.
99091-7
IN THE JOURNAL HE KEPT OF HIS DAILY LIFE, ONE MAN FAITHFULLY WROTE THE DATE ON EACH PAGE SO THAT HE WOULD REMEMBER HIS LIFE IN THE ORDER EN WHICH IT OCCURRED,
WHEN ONE MAN FIRST ARRIVED IN TOWN,(BY FALLING OFF A TURNIP TRUCK), HE QUICKLY LOOKED AROUND EN EMBARRASSMENT
TO SEE IF ANY OF THE TURNIPS HAD NOTICED WHAT HAPPENED.
IT’S GOOD TO START OFF A NEW LIFE NOT ON THE WRONG FOOT: IT’S GOOD TO NOT START OFF A NEW LIFE ON THE WRONG FOOT, BUT JUST MENTION THIS TO CONSCIOUSNESS AND — WHOA!, GET OUTTA THE WAY FOR IT’S PREDICTABLE REACTION, (YOU SEE, IT KEEPS RECALLING THAT UNPLEASANT EPISODE BACK IN THE GARDEN INVOLVING A PIECE OF OUTLAW FRUIT, (OR SOME SUCH IMAGINARY ABSURDITY).
…AND ONE DINGY CRIED OUT: “HEY, DON’T PICK ON ME!”, AND REPLIED: “HEY, WHO’RE YOU TALKING TO?”
XXX
HOW YOU TELL THAT YOU ARE “ASLEEP”: YOU READ THE STATEMENT THAT: “MAN IS ASLEEP.”, AND IMMEDIATELY THINK, “YEAH, THAT’S ME — I AM.”
YOU MY FRIEND, HAVE A DINGY LODGED SOME WHERE IN YOUR BRAIN, YOU SHOULD SEE A QUALIFIED DOCTOR QUICK, WHO WOULD BE ONE WITH
NO QUALIFICATIONS OTHER THAN AN ALREADY EXISTING REALIZATION THAT EVERYONE NATURALLY HAS DINGIES SO LODGED,
MAN STARTS OFF WITHOUT CONSCIOUSNESS AND IS ONE:
HE LATER HAS CONSCIOUSNESS AND BECOMES TWO:
TO “BE ASLEEP” REQUIRES THE APPARENT PRESENCE OF TWO ENTITIES:
A SLEEPER AND THEN ANOTHER WHO CAN BE TOLD ABOUT THE SLEEPER
AND WHO BELIEVES THAT HE SEES HIM,
WHEN YOU HAVE THESE TWO THINGS GOING ON IN YOU
THEN YOU ARE ASLEEP TO WHAT’S ACTUALLY GOING ON IN LIFE
ALL AROUND YOU, ALL IN YOU, AND ALL OVER YOU.
…AND TO THINK: THE BIG BOAT IS TIED UP RIGHT NEXT TO YOU,
XXX
99091-8
ALTHOUGH WHAT HE WANTED WAS SOME COOL AIR, ONE MAN TURNED ON A LIGHT INSTEAD SINCE IT WAS CLOSER THAN THE FAN.
…THIS IS NOT UNLIKE ATTEMPTING TO ALTER YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS
SIMPLY BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE THE THING MOST READILY ACCESSIBLE.
..,(NOT MUCH OF AN EXCUSE IF YOU ASK ME.)
BALANCED ON THE ROPE CONNECTING THE DINGY AND THE BIG BOAT,
STOOD A MAN WHO NOTED TO HIMSELF: “I KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON
UNTIL I BEGIN TO THINK ABOUT — WHAT’S GOING ON.”
— CAREFUL THERE SIR, DON’T GET YOUR FEET ALL TANGLED UP IN YOUR FEET, AND HE OBJECTS: “I WASN’T TALKING ABOUT FEET, I WAS TALKING ABOUT MY CONSCIOUSNESS!”, ALRIGHT SIR, APPLY WHAT I SAID TO YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS
THEN, HAPPY NOW?!
XXX
A MAN ASKED A GUY WHO HE FIGURED KNEW WHAT’S GOING ON:
“I’VE HEARD YOU SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN THE WORLD,
CAN THAT REALLY BE SO?”, AND THE GUY NODDED, “YES”, BUT THE MAN INSISTED:
“ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THERE IS NOT ONE THING WRONG IN
THE WORLD?, AND AGAIN THE GUY NODDED HIS HEAD, “YES.”, BUT THE MAN WOULD
NOT BE PACIFIED SO EASILY AND SAID AGAIN: “ARE YOU 100% POSITIVELY
CERTAM WITHOUT CONDITIONS THAT THERE IS NOT A SOLITARY THING WRONG
IN THE WORLD?”, “YES.” REPLIED THE GUY, BUT THE MAN LEANED IN AND
PRESSED EVEN HARDER: “COME ON NOW: YOU’RE GONNA TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOT
EVEN ONE, TEENSIE-WEENSIE LITTLE THING THAT’S WRONG :[N THE WORLD?!”,
AND THE GUY FINALLY RELENTED AND SAID: “OKAY —
PEOPLE WITH QUESTIONS LIKE YOURS.”, AND THE MAN SAID:
“I DON’T FIND THAT FUNNY.”, AND THE GUY REPLIED: “I FIGURED YOU WOULDN’T,
THAT’S WHY YOU HAD TO PRY IT OUT OF ME.”
AND NOW FOR SOME MORE :[NFO REGARDING:”THE RELIEF OF FRUSTRATION”:
NO CONSCIOUSNESS — NO FRUSTRATION.
A MIND THAT CAN THINK-IN-CIRCLES WILL FIT RIGHT IN WITH CONSCIOUSNESS.
99091-9
ONE MAN STUCK HIS FINGER IN A RAT TRAP TO SEE HOW IT FEELS TO BE A RAT, AND TRAPPED — AND ONE RAT PUT ALL HIS MONEY IN PENNY STOCKS TO SEE HOW IT FEELS TO BE HUMAN AND STUPID,
THE SLAMMING (IF IT OCCURS) OF A RAT TRAP, IS TODAY:
THE ANXIETY FOR TOMORROW IS NEVER REALIZES NOR NEVER BANISHED.
BELIEVE THIS: WHEN SOMEONE SAYS: “WE HAVEN’T HEARD THE LAST OF THIS”, YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT A BOWEL MOVEMENT.
,..(I AM NOT AT LIBERTY TO GO INTO THIS IN GREATER DETAIL
…BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS REGARDING THE UNREALIZED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONSCIOUSNESS AND THOUGHT:
NEVER PLAY ERIC CLAPTON’S GUITAR UNLESS YOU ARE ERIC CLAPTON — BUT: IF YOU PLAY ERIC CLAPTON’S GUITAR DOESN’T THAT MEAN THAT YOU ARE ERIC CLAPTON?!
THIS IS THE UNSEEN CONNECTION BETWEEN A MAN’S CONSCIOUSNESS
AND THE THOUGHTS HE SEEMS TO HAVE THEREIN,
(AND NEVER MEND THE POSSIBILITY THAT B.B.KING’S NAME MIGHT BE ON THE
GUITAR CASE:
MINOR ANOMALIES LIKE THAT DO NOT ALTER THE OVERALL VERACITY OF
WHAT I JUST SAID:
ANOMALIES ARE ALWAYS A PART OF THE OVERALL PICTURE OF REALITY,
(AS PERCEIVED BY CONSCIOUSNESS),
AND ONE MAN MUSED: “I AM BUT ONE SMALL EXCEPTION TO MY OVERALL ANOMALOUS SELF,
AND ONCE I REALIZE THIS FULLY, JUST THINK OF MY JOY AND RELIEF.”
A MAN RECALLS: “AT ONE TIME I WOULD CONSULT A PRIEST, WHO WAS SOLEMN:
I THEN BEGAN TO TALK WITH A PSYCHIATRIST, WHO WAS SINCERE:
AFTER THAT I WENT TO SEE AN ASTROLOGER, WHO WAS ALL BUSINESS,
AND THEN FINALLY CHECKED EN WITH A MAIL ORDER MYSTIC WHO WOULD
STRIKE A POSE LIKE A MAN POINTING TOWARD WHAT I’D BEEN LOOKING FOR
ALL ALONG, BUT ALAS: TURNED OUT HE WOULDN’T TAKE CREDIT CARDS, AND
IN FACT, LAUGHED HEARTILY WHEN HE TOLD ME HE WOULDN’T….WHICH EVENTUALLY
STARTED ME TO LAUGHING ALSO….WHICH SEEMED SOMEHOW TO BRING THE AFFAIR
TO A CLOSE,
FACT: NEVER ASK YOURSELF HOW IT IS THAT YOU “KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING” – ….THAT IS, NOT UNLESS YOU’ RE REALLY INTERESTED IN “JUMPING SHIP”, LEASTWISE AS CONCERNS THAT LITTLE DENKY DINGY.
99091-10
IN RECOGNITION OF THE KING’S FIRST VISIT TO ONE OF HIS LECTURES, A CERTAIN MYSTIC INDULGED IN EVEN GREATER GIBBERISH THAN USUAL.
…HEY, WHAT COMMUNICATION THERE IS BETWEEN THE BIG BOAT AND THE DINGY IS ALL ONE SIDED ANY WAY,
XXX
BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL FINALLY STUMBLE UPON THE THOUGHT THAT WILL ONCE AND FOR ALL FREE YOU FROM CONSCIOUSNESS
IS LIKE THINKING THAT IF YOU KEEP THROWING ROCKS INTO THE OCEAN IT’LL EVENTUALLY OVER-FLOW,
XXX
AS HE CAREFULLY EXAMINED A SNAKE WITH ITS OWN TAIL IN ITS MOUTH, A MAN PONDERED AGAIN THAT GRAND, ETERNAL QUESTION: “IS THERE NO END TO ALL OF THIS?!”
AND ANOTHER CHAP SO REFLECTED: “IF HAVING FLEAS CAN BE GOOD FOR A DOG IN THAT THE DISTRACTION HELPS KEEP HIM FROM WORRYING OVER THE MEANING OF LIFE,
THEN DOES CONSCIOUSNESS SERVE A SIMILAR PURPOSE IN MAN?!”
XXX
CONSCIOUSNESS SEES THE LIFE OF MAN AS BEING A RACE. BETWEEN. CONSTANT ANXIETY AND INEVITABLE DISASTER.
..BUT, HEY — THAT’S JUST THE WAY CONSCIOUSNESS IS, GET OVER IT,
HOW TO EXPLAIN THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ACHIEVE WHAT THEY CALL, “ENLIGHTENMENT”,ETC.: THEY ARE MEN WHO HAVE TAKEN THE MATTER OF THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS TO UNNATURAL, NEVER-BEFORE-REALIZED-HEIGHTS OF
IMAGINARY IMPORTANCE.
99091-11
MORE OF:”HOW EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED”:
IT CAN BE PROFITABLE TO KEEP A BLOODHOUND. SINCE THEY ARE SO GOOD AT FINDING CHILDREN, LOST IN THE WOODS,
BUT YOU NEED HAVE SOME NEAR-BY WOODS AND A CHILD, PRONE TO GETTING LOST, OR ELSE KEEPING A BLOODHOUND’S NOT WORTH THE EFFORT.
…EXCUSE ME, BUT DOES ANYONE HERE SEE ANY POSSIBLE WAY THAT THIS MIGHT BE PERTINENT TO A MAN AND THE REPETITIVE ACTIVITIES OF HIS CONSCIOUSNESS?
AND ONE MAN NOTES: “JUST THINK — IF IT WEREN’T FOR CONSCIOUSNESS TELLING US — NO ONE WOULD KNOW, “WHAT KINDA GUY THEY ARE”! – …AND EVEN THOUGH MINE’S TOLD ME MANY, MANY TIMES,
IS TILL DON’T REALLY KNOW — DO YOU? —- YOU DO?! — JEEZE!, I DIDN’T REALIZE THAT YOU’RE AWAKE.
AND A MAN ASKED ONE WHO KNOWS: “WHAT IS THE GRAVEST ERROR WE MAKE REGARDING CONSCIOUSNESS IN ALL OF THIS?”, AND THE REPLY WAS:
“THINKING THAT WE DIRECT AND CONTROL CONSCIOUSNESS
WHEN IT IS CONSCIOUSNESS THAT DIRECTS AND CONTROLS US.”
