WHAT FOLLOWS ARE MORE EXCERPTS FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE PERSONAL DIARY OF SOME ONE WITH A DEEP INTEREST IN THAT CERTAIN MATTER WHICH BRINGS US TOGETHER. HIS IDENTITY IS UNKNOWN AS IS THE TIME AND PLACE IN WHICH HE MADE THESE NOTES, AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE THE WRITINGS EITHER FACTUAL OR FICTIONAL.
OCTOBER 20: FIRST ENTRY:
“I CONTINUE TO PONDER THE PICTURE THAT RECENTLY CAME TO ME REGARDING WHAT I SEE AS THE TWO INNER STATES POSSIBLE FOR ME, (THAT IS):
I AM EITHER BEING:”ME”, OR ELSE I AM:”LOST IN THINKING”,
AND ALTHOUGH THEY CERTAINLY ARE SEPARATE AND DISTINCT STATES AS I PERCEIVE THEM TO BE IN THAT CORTICAL AREA OF MY BRAIN WHICH PRODUCES MY CONSCIOUSNESS AND MY THINKING, , THERE, IS A TRICKY ASPECT THAT I HAVE YET TO MAKE WRITTEN NOTE OF, AND THAT IS;
EVEN WHEN I AM “LOST IN THINKING”,
AND NOT BEING “ME’,
I CAN STILL HAVE A VAGUE AWARENESS THAT THERE IS A “ME” THAT SEEMS TO BE DOING THE THINKING;
THAT EVEN WHEN THE STATE OF BEING “LOST IN THINKING” IS THE OVERWHELMING CONDITION OF MY CONSCIOUSNESS
THERE YET OFTEN IS A LESS THAN FULLY CONSCIOUSNESS AWARENESS THAT A “ME” ALSO EXISTS.
I SUSPECT THAT IT IS FROM WHAT I JUST DESCRIBED THAT ORDINARY MEN
DERIVE THEIR. BELIEF THAT THEY HAVE A FULL -TIME, ALWAYS-THERE,
PERMANENT AND STABLE “I” FOR “SELF”)THAT IS SEPARATE FROM THEIR THINKING, AND IN FACT IS WHAT DOES THEIR THINKING.
IT SEEMS TO BE LEFT TO MEN LIKE ME TO INVESTIGATE THIS COMMON BELIEF FURTHER, AND DISCOVER, FOR THEMSELF, A PHYSICAL SITUATION THAT DIFFERS SUBSTANTIALLY THEREFROM.

SECOND ENTRY:
IN ONE WAY I CAN PERCEIVE OF MY EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN THE STATE OF: “BEING ME”
RATHER THAN BEING; “LOST IN THINKING”
LIKE A STRUGGLE TO ALWAYS REMEMBER — TO HAVE IN MIND — THE COLOR RED,
BUT THE ‘THINKING’ IN WHICH I GET SO LOST
SEEMS TO BE NATURALLY DISINCLINED TO BE PARTY TO SUCH AN UNDERTAKING;
THE EVER-CHURNING, EVER-PRESENT THINKING BEING PRODUCED BY MY CEREBRAL CORTEX
ALMOST APPEARS TO REBEL AGAINST ANY DEMAND “I”, (WHATEVER THAT MAY BE),
THAT I PLACE ON IT, (SUCH AS): “I WILL CONTINUALLY KEEP IN MY THINKING,
THE COLOR RED.”;
I NO SOONER ANNOUNCE SUCH A DECISION TO MYSELF AND MY THINKING
THAN THE THINKING TURNS ITS BACK TO MY DECISION;
ITS CEASELESS ACTIVITY SWAMPS MY DECISION — OVERWHELMS MY INTENTION —
SWEEPS IT FROM MY SIGHT AND MY MEMORY
UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I LEAVE THE STATE OF BEING: “LOST IN THINKING”,
AND GO INTO THE STATE OF BEING; “ME” AGAIN — AND THEN, AND ONLY THEN,
DOES MY DECISION TO ALWAYS KEEP IN MY THINKING, THE COLOR RED,
RETURN TO MY THOUGHTS.
Now THIS SITUATION IS NO REAL NEWS TO ME,
(I JUST HAVE IT REPACKAGED AND LABELED) — BUT,
SOMETHING ABOUT IT DOES PUZZLE ME FROM A FRESH PERSPECTIVE;
WHY DOES NOT THE FACT THAT WHEN I AM IN THE STATE OF BEING “ME”
I THINK ABOUT THE STATE OF BEING: “LOST IN THINKING”,
BUT WHEN I AM IN THE STATE OF BEING “LOST IN THINKING”
THERE ARE NO THINKING ABOUT THE STATE OF ME BEING “ME” —
— WHY DOES NOT ME REALIZING THIS FACT, KEEP ME MORE AWAKE,
AND IN THE STATE OF BEING “ME”?!
AND I FIND ANOTHER PUZZLER HEREIN;
WHY DOES NOT THE THINKING OF MY: “LOST IN THINKING STATE’ THINK ABOUT ME,
IN THE STATE OF ME BEING “ME”?! —
DOES IT SIMPLY HAVE NO INTEREST IN THINKING ABOUT THE “ME STATE”?.
DOES IT RESIST DOING SO BECAUSE IF IT DOES BEGIN TO THINK ABOUT ME,
BEING IN THE ‘ME STATE’,
DOING SO CAUSES IT TO MOMENTARILY DISAPPEAR (AS IT WERE)?
BUT THERE IS YET ONE MORE POSSIBILITY THAT COMES TO MY MIND;
THAT THE CORTICAL CELLS IN ME (AND A FEW OTHER PEOPLE),
ARE ENGAGED IN SOME SORT OF EXPERIMENT REGARDING THE CONSCIOUSNESS
THEY PRODUCE IN US, AND THAT ME, BRING LN THE STATE OF ME; ‘BEING MEN,
AT THE EXPENSE OF ME BEING: “LOST IN THINKING” IS A CONDITION ARISING FROM
99120-3
THE EXPERIMENT WHICH THE CELLS CAN TOLERATE ONLY FOR BRIEF MOMENTS.
IT IS AS THOUGH SOME PARTICULAR GROUP OF CELLS WITHIN THE OVERALL CORTICAL POPULATION IS, (AND HAS BEEN.FOR A WHILE,WITHIN A SMALL
NUMBER OF MEN), TRYING OUT SOMETHING NEW IN HOW CONSCIOUSNESS OPERATES, BUT THAT THEY EITHER HAVE NOT FULLY COMMITTED THEMSELVES TO WHATEVER MAY BE THE OUTCOME OF THE EXPERIMENT, OR ELSE,,AT THE PRESENT TIME,
THEY SIMPLY LACK THE PHYSICAL, (OR, WHATEVER), WHERE WITH ALL
TO SUSTAIN THEIR EXPERIMENTATION BEYOND ITS CURRENT HIT:SI-MISS STATUS.
As Though THEIR CELLULAR LEVEL EXPERIMENTATION
GETS ME AND MY CONSCIOUSNESS “ALL-WORKED-UP” TO DO SOMETHING — TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING — EXTRAORDINARY]
— TO WAKE UP!
— TO BE ME AGAIN!
— TO BE ME AGAIN — PERMANENTLY!
…BUT THEN AS QUICKLY AS THEY SO PRIME ME — THEY ABANDON ME;
THEY LET ME DOWN —
THEY WITHDRAWN THEIR EXPERIMENTAL ENERGY FROM THE PROJECT,
AND LEAVE ME HELPLESS,
UNABLE TO RESIST RETURNING ONCE MORE TO BEING) “LOST IN THINKING”
As I WRITE AND. PONDER. THESE SPECULATIONS,
THEY DO SEEM TO OFFER RATIONAL, POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS FOR WHAT IS
GOING ON IN MY BRAIN AND CONSCIOUSNESS,
AND YET I MUST FACE THE FACT THAT I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE WHATSOEVER
AS TO WHETHER MY MORTAL SENSE OF “RATIONALITY” HAS ANY MEANING AT ALL
AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL;
THUS, NO MATTER HOW WELL SOME MAP, MODEL OR DESCRIPTION OF MINE
MAY SEEM TO REASONABLY. AND RATIONALLY FIT THE SITUATION .I AM EXAMINING,
IT. DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE EXPLANATION IS IN ANY WAY RELEVANT,
OR REFLECTIVE OF.WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON.
I AM ALMOST TO THE POINT OF ADMITTING — OF CONCLUDING —
THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS ONLY MY CELLS WILL EVER KNOW,
BUT THEN IF I GO FURTHER AND SAY;”THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I WILL NEVER KNOW”, THEN I AM AGAIN FACED WITH “THAT SITUATION.”:
ALL THAT I KNOW IS WHAT MY CORTICAL CELLS KNOW, OE AT LEAST,
WHAT THEY CARE TO SHARE WITH ME; SO THERE IS A PROBLEMATIC SITUATION CREATED IF I SAY THAT THERE MAY BE THINGS THAT I WILL NEVER KNOW, AND THINGS THAT ONLY MY CELLS WILL EVER KNOW.
99120-4.
THE PROBLEMATIC SITUATION TO ME IS:
WHO IS MAKING THESE STATEMENTS; ME, OR MY CELLS!?,
AND WHILE I SEEM TO HAVE ALREADY ANSWERED THAT — HAVE I REALLY?!
IF EVERYTHING I KNOW, THINK & SAY COMES TO “ME” (WHATEVER THAT MAY BE) COMES TO ME FROM MY CORTICAL CELLS,
WHY WOULD THEY HAVE ME FORM IDEAS AND SPEAK WORDS THAT QUESTION THEIR VERY PARTICIPATION IN THE PROCESS OF MY KNOWING AND SPEAKING?.!
FROM A MORTAL VIEW OF THE RATIONAL — SUCH IS INSANE AND USELESS (UNLESS,
UNLESS SOME,CEREBRAL CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN AN ON GOING EXPERIMENT WHICH IS STILL IN A SERIOUS STAGE OF UNCERTAINTY.
DO YOU REALIZE THAT IF THIS BE THE CASE
THEN.MEN SUCH AS MYSELF ARE BEING MADE PRIVY TO AN ASTOUNDING OCCURRENCE; PEOPLE SUCH AS ME ARE NOT SIMPLY TRYING TO ‘INDIVIDUALLY AWAKEN/TO SOME NEW FORM OF CONSCIOUSNESS,
BUT ARE RATHER THE LIVING LABORATORY IN WHICH CELLS IN OUR BRAIN
ARE ENGAGED IN EXPLORATORY RESEARCH.
IF IT ALL THAT WERE TO BE SO,
MY SPECULATION_THEN.WOULD CENTER ON THE POSSIBILITY OF WHETHER THE
CELLS CAUSING ME TO PURSUE THIS ‘WAKING UP THING” WILL STAY.THE COURSE
SO THAT I MIGHT PARTICIPATE IN THEIR ULTIMATE SUCCESS,
OR WHETHER THEY MAY EVENTUALLY CHANGE DIRECTION AND ABANDON THE EXPERIMENT
IN MY BRAIN THAT MAKES ME BELIEVE IN, “OTHER.STATES.OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
DON’T GUESS I SHOULD BE EXPECTING THEM TO ASK FOR MY INPUT ON THE MATTER) X X X

THIRD ENTRY:
WHAT IS THIS THING OF, “TRYING TO WAKE UP” OTHER THAN BEING A COMMON PHILOSOPHER WITH AN UNCOMMON TOLERANCE FOR FRUSTRATION?!
– – –
BEING “LOST IN THINKING” CAN BE SUCH GREAT FUN FOR ME.– I WONDER; IS IT MORE SO ME THAN FOR MOST?….
…AND PONDERING THAT, MAKES WE WONDER THIS:
AM I NOT ONLY “ASLEEP”, BUT PERHAPS EVEN MORE SO THAN EVERYONE ELSE, AND ENJOY IT MORE THAN THEY CAN EVER IMAGINE.
– – –
HOW CAN A PERSON BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE ON THE RIGHT ROAD TO THE GOAL
OF THIS THING IF THEY FOREVER THINK THAT
AS THEY GO
THEY KNOW
MORE AND MORE
INSTEAD OF REACHING A PLACE WHEREAT THEY TURN,
AND COMMENCE TO KNOW
LESS AND LESS?1
I GUESS FOR SOME, THE GAME OF ‘KNOWING’ CAN BE SO INTELLECTUALLY PLEASURABLE AS TO KEEP THEM FROM NOTICING THEIR FAILURE TO ACHIEVE THE ORIGINAL GOAL.
….IT’S A SHAME.– BUT; YOU CAN
BLAME IT ON THE BRAIN.
– – –
IT AMAZES ME HOW ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE SO IMPRESSED BY THE TECHNICAL MARVELS CREATED BY MAN’S MIND, BUT ARE NOT TOTALLY DAZZLED AND ASTOUNDED BY THE EXISTENCE WITHIN THEM OF — THOUGHT.
….AM I ALONE IN THIS?
99120-6
IS AN AWAKENED MAN REALLY “MORE AWAKE” THAN EVERYONE ELSE, OR JUST MORE AWARE OF “BEING ASLEEP” THAN THEY ARE?
No PROVERB HAS ANY MYSTICAL VALUE IF IT REFERS TO BEHAVIOR, OR INCLUDES OTHER PEOPLE.
ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT “BEING AWAKE’ IS,
TALKING ABOUT IT THEREAFTER IS LIKE A REFORMED DRUNK RETURNING TO DRINK. …(OR AT LEAST HIM SITTING AN OPENED BOTTLE OF BOOZE BEFORE HIM.)
ONLY MEN ASLEEP WILL SAY FOR SURE THAT THEY ARE AWAKE.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IN PURSUIT OF THIS GOAL,
THE WATCHWORD THAT PROPERLY SHOULD REMAIN IN EVERYONE’S. HEAD WOULD BE: “SIMPLIFY! —
CONTINUALLY “SIMPLIFY” ALL YOU BELIEVE YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY; FIND SIMPLIFIED SUBSTITUTIONS FOR ALL OF THE WORDS, TERMS AND MODELS YOU HAVE THAT SAY TO YOU
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
OTHER THAN AS MIGHT LITERALLY “SAVE ONE’S. LIFE”;
NOTHING EVER SAID EVER HELPED ANYBODY.
…I SEE IT CLEARLY…
ONLY WISH I COULD REMEMBER IT BETTER REGARDING WHAT MY.OWN THINKING
CONSTANTLY SAYS TO ME.
99120-7
IT IS SURELY EASIER TO TAKE DIRECTIONS THAN IT IS TO DISCOVER FOR YOURSELF.
xx
A MYSTIC, NOT THE EXEMPLAR OF EFFICIENCY IS NO MYSTIC.
TALK, (AND OTHER MECHANICAL ACTIVITIES)
HAVE A MAGNETIC ATTRACTION FOR CONSCIOUSNESS.
.xx
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OLD STORIES WHEREIN BY HEARING JUST ONE STATEMENT
FROM AN AWAKENED MAN, SOMEONE WAS “AWAKENED'”?
…DID THE WORDS REVEAL SOME HERETOFORE HIDDEN INFORMATION ABOUT THE MIND?
….OR DID THE COMMENT MAKE THE HEARER SUDDENLY AWARE OF
THE ACTUAL NATURE OF WORDS AND THE MIND?
BUT I GUESS WHAT IS MOST CURIOUS TO ME ABOUT THIS IS THAT
PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THE NOTION OF_”AWAKENING”
PERCEIVE ONLY THE FIRST POSSIBILITY,
AND ARE OBLIVIOUS TO THE SECOND.
WHILE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN,ULTIMATE CURE FOR EVERYTHING THAT AILS YOU —
DEATH
WHAT IF THERE IS ONE EXCEPTION?! —
AND EVEN AFTER I’M DEAD
I’LL STILL BE BUGGED ABOUT MY THINKING?!
As SOON AS I OPENED MY EYES IN BED THIS MORNING, IT SUDDENLY STRUCK ME: “I WAKE UP WITH A STRANGER.”
99120-8
SOME THING THAT NO ONE, (INCLUDING MYSTICS) EVER THINKS ABOUT IS THAT: You ONLY THINK ABOUT THINGS YOU THINK ABOUT.
…AHH, BUT IF ONLY I COULD, EACH MORNING, THROW OFF FOR GOOD
ALL I WENT TO SLEEP WITH.
THERE IS NOT ONE THING FOR A MYSTIC TO DO ABOUT THE THINKING IN HIM,
BUT FORCE IT TO SERVE HIM .
BY ENTERTAINING HIM.
…(AND I DO WISH I HAD REALIZED THIS FORTY YEARS AGO..
A SERIOUS APPROACH HAS TOO LONG BEFUDDLED ME.)
I HAVE NO NEED TO READ FICTION: I LIVE A FICTIONAL LIFE IN MY OWN HEAD.
AND I MADE UP A NEW STORY:
THE ELDER OF A MYSTICAL MONASTERY WAS SHOWING A NEW ARRIVAL AROUND
THE PREMISES AND SAID TO HIM: “You HAVE YOUR CHOICE OF TWO LIVING SPACES:
ONE IS A DARK ROOM WITH NOTHING IN IT BUT A BED: AND THE OTHER ONE IS A ROOM
BRIGHTLY PAINTED, AND FILLED WITH FURNITURE, BOOKS, MIRRORS,
AND A MULTITUDE OF KNICK-KNACKS, AND BRIC-A-BRAC.”,
AND AS THE NEW COMER WAS OBVIOUSLY WEIGHING THE CHOICES,
THE ELDER INTERRUPTED HIS THOUGHT BY SAYING:
“IT WILL DO YOU NO GOOD TO CHOOSE THE BUSILY FURNISHED SPACE
IN THE BELIEF THAT IT WILL GIVE MORE STIMULATION TO YOUR SENSES,
AND KEEP YOU MORE AWAKE THAN THE SPARSE ONE,
FOR AFTER A FEW DAYS YOU WILL CEASE TO TAKE ANY NOTICE OF THE
EXTERNAL CONDITIONS OF THE ROOM,
AND WILL RETURN TO BEING TOTALLY ABSORBED IN THE INTERNAL ONES
OF YOUR OWN THINKING.”
…(I WONDER SHOULD I ADD THAT THE COMMENT INSTANTLY AWAKENED THE MAN?!) .
99120-9
WOULD-BE MYSTICS WHO BELIEVE THAT MYSTICISM IS ABOUT ‘OTHER WORLDLY” MATTERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS REALLY ALL ABOUT.
WHEN YOU ARE IN THE BED ASLEEP AT NIGHT YOU CAN HAVE A DREAM OF YOU
BEING IN BED ASLEEP, DREAMING THAT YOU ARE IN BED ASLEEP, DREAMING,
AND THE ABSURDITY OF THE DREAM WILL FORCE YOU TO AWAKEN SO AS TO
STOP THE DREAM,
BUT MY QUESTION IS;
WHERE IS THE COUNTERPART TO THIS IN MAN’S
DAY TIME,
OPEN EYED,
WALKING AROUND STATE OF DREAMING?
WHY DOES NOT SOMETHING SIMILAR OCCUR IN THE CONTINUAL MEANDERINGS OF OUR DAY TIME DREAMY STATE WITH THE POWER TO AT LEAST, MOMENTARILY, “AROUSE US” FROM OUR MENTAL STATE OF ABSURDITY?!
ARE NOT MANY, (IF NOT MOST), OF OUR OPEN EYED DREAMS SUFFICIENTLY RIDICULOUS THAT THEY SHOULD CAUSE US TO “WAKE UP AND COME TO OUR SENSES`:’?!
IS THERE SOME REASON THAT MAKES DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN DREAMS AND REALITY EASIER WHEN WE ARE IN BED ASLEEP THAN IT IS WHEN WE ARE UP AND WALKING AROUND?
..(I GUESS:”ONLY THE BRAIN KNOWS”….AND CE DOESN’T SEEM TO WANT TO
SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE.)
IT HAS TAKEN ME A WHILE, BUT I DO NOW REALIZE THAT THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO TALK SERIOUSLY ABOUT “AWAKENING” ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL MOSTLY GUESSING WHAT. IT IS.
AND A MAN SUDDENLY STEPPED UP AND SAID: “PARDON ME SIR, BUT I HAVE A CLIPBOARD AND A PENCIL, SO MAY I ASK YOU A QUESTION:
“ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT WHAT WAS JUST SAID”?” — “NO. THE OTHER MAN
REPLIED: “I’M LAUGHING INSTEAD.”
AND AT TIMES I STILL PUZZLE OVER THE FACT THAT THE
CELLS IN MY BRAIN WHICH PRODUCE ALL OF MY SERIOUS THOUGHTS, AND WHICH CAUSE
OTHER CEREBRAL CELLS THAT FORM MY CONSCIOUSNESS TO LISTEN TO THE THOUGHTS
IN A SERIOUS MANNER, THESE SAME CELLS WILL ALSO AT TIMES, CAUSE ME. TO THINK OF
THIS ENTIRE AFFAIR AS BEING LAUGHABLE. JUST WHO OR WHAT IS BEING LAUGHED AT HERE?.
99120-10
BASED ON MY EXPERIENCES AND WHAT I NOW REALIZE
WOULD MAKE ME SAY THAT: “THE ODDS ARE AGAINST A MAN BEING ABLE TO PERMANENTLY ALTER THE WORKINGS OF HIS CONSCIOUSNESS THAT WE CALL, “THINKING”.” — EXCEPT THAT THE POSSIBILITY IS ACTUALLY TOO. REMOTE.. TO SIMPLY SAY THAT THE — “ODDS ARE AGAINST IT”.
…(YEAH, GOOD LUCK!…LET’S HEAR IT FOR GOOD OLE: WISHFUL THINKING,)
WHENEVER MY MIND WANDERS TO AREAS SUCH AS THIS
IT CERTAINLY MAKES WE WONDER WHERE I’D BE TODAY IN ALL OF THIS IF I HADN’T FINALLY BEGUN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS
BEYOND ALL THE FANCY TALK.
…(0R, AS EVEN I JUST RECENTLY SAID: You ONLY THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT.)
ONCE YOU SEE THE ATTEMPT TO “AWAKEN” AS BEING THE ATTEMPT TO PERMANENTLY CHANGE THE THINKING THAT COMES FROM THE CELLULAR ACTIVITY
IN YOUR BRAIN THAT PRODUCES WHAT WE CALL, ‘CONSCIOUSNESS’, YOU’RE LEFT WITH JUST TWO WAYS OF LOOKING AT SUCH AU ATTEMPT: EITHER WITH: DEADLY SERIOUSNESS, OR WITH LAUGHTER.
THE SADDEST SCENE I CAN IMAGINE WOULD BE FOR A MAN WHO, AFTER A LIFE SPENT, TRYING TO ‘AWAKEN’
TO ADMIT THAT HE STILL DOESN’T REALLY KNOW WHAT THE TERM, “BEING ASLEEP” ACTUALLY MEANS.
PICTURING SUCH A SCENE ALWAYS MOMENTARILY STARTLES ME INTO RECALLING
THE NEED TO CONSTANTLY: “SIMPLIFY. SIMPLIFY! —- SIMPLIFY!.
…AND JUST AS I WROTE THESE WORDS, A PARODY OF A SONG I KNOW RUSHED TO MIND;
“I BELIEVE FOR EVERY DROP OF RAIN THAT FALLS,
ONE FELL BEFORE,
AND WILL DO SO AGAIN.”
IN SPITE OF THE CHAOS, NATURAL TO THE THINKING,
HOW CAN I FAIL TO REMEMBER THIS AND LIVE MENTALLY — ACCORDINGLY?!
A MAN”ASLEEP”IS A MAN WITH: “MUCH ON HIS MIND.” —
A —
A MAN WHO NEVER LEARNED TO — SIMPLIFY.
…IT’S SAD,
BUT WHO YOU GONNA BLAME”) THE BRAIN, SURELY?! RIGHT?!
BUT WHAT DOES THIS EVER ACCOMPLISH?! SIMPLIFY THE SITUATION AS NOW PERCEIVED.
