SO INSISTS ONE FELLOW:
“WE NEED INSIGHT INTO BOTH OUR EXPERIENCES — AND OUR THINKING.”, — HE IS HALF ON TO SOMETHING;
YOU CAN ACHIEVE SOMETHING RESEMBLING “INSIGHT”INTO THE FORMER, BUT NOT THE LATTER,
THAT IS THE UNCHARTED & INVISIBLE, “INFINITE DIMENSIONED WALL” OF THE MYSTICS, THE FACT THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE INSIGHT INTO — INSIGHTS.
NEAT, BUT DEADLY;
DEADLY, BUT LIBERATING.

You “FEEL” — AND YOU,”HAVE THOUGHTS”.
You FEEL “UP” ONE DAY, AND THOUGHTS FLOW QUICKLY, AND LIFE IS (FINE. •
THE NEXT DAY YOU FEEL”DOWN”, AND THOUGHTS ARE LIKE PRICKLY MOLASSES &LIFE SUCKS.
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?! —
IT MEANS THAT YOU BOTH: “FEEL” — AND “HAVE THOUGHTS”– THAT’S WHAT IT MEANS!
BUTCH & SUN-DANCE,
RASPUTIN & ALEXANDRIA,
JEKYLL & HYDE,’
HECKLE & DECKLE, THE CONSCIOUS & THE SUBCONSCIOUS,
ALL OF THE WORLD’S GREAT EXAMPLES, (NOT FORGETTING YOU), OF
UNHERALDED, INCESTUOUS, EUIPOTENTIAL MOLECULAR JIM JAM & HORMONAL TANGO DANCING.
….(HEY, LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE BAND! — “HEY! — WHAT BAND?!” OH, I’M SORRY, I DIDN’T REALIZE YOU WERE ACTUALLY LISTENING.)

ONE MAN SAYS: “HERE IS THE PRESENT SCORE AS I SEE IT.
WHEN I AM ‘MORE AWAKE”, (AS I CALL IT),
AND, LET US SAY, AM CUTTING THE GRASS,
THEN NOTHING EXTRAORDINARY IS HAPPENING — JUST ME — CUTTING THE GRASS.
BUT WHEN I AM DOZING, (AS I CALL IT),
AND AM “CUTTING THE GRASS”,
I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT I AM DOING, AND AS SOON AS I BECOME AWARE OF THIS FACT — I THEN FEEL MOMENTARY MISERABLE EVEN THOUGH I AM, (AS I CALL IT),
BACK, “MORE AWAKE” AGAIN. I DOESN’T SEEM LIKE YOU CAN WIN.”

WHAT YOU’VE EATEN DETERMINES WHERE YOU ARE;
THE HUMIDITY DETERMINES WHAT TIME IT IS FOR YOU,
AND EVERY OTHER POSSIBLE CIRCUMSTANCE
MANIPULATES EVER OTHER POSSIBLE ASPECT OF YOUR BRAIN
RESULTING FINALLY IN WHAT THE ORDINARY CALL, (WITH UNINTENTIONAL HUMOR),
YOUR “THINKING”.
….(WOULD ANYONE CARE TO JOIN ME IN ANOTHER CHORUS OF THE SONG:
“THERE IS NO IN,
THERE IN NO OUT,
AND I’M SO HAPPY,
I COULD SHOUT OR….WAS THAT THE ENVIRONMENT THAT JUST SAID THAT?!)

FACT: HISTORY ONLY GOES TO SHOW THE NEED FOR SOMETHING IN ADDITION TO – HISTORY. FACT: THE ONLY THING THE PAST DOES IS CAUSE THE WEAK TO BECOME EVEN WEAKER. FACT: IMAGINATION IS ONLY GOOD FOR THOSE WHO REALLY”NEED”IT.
SEMI-FACTUAL FOOT PAD: ONE MAN PICTURES HIS INVOLVEMENT IN TRYING-TO CLEAR-HIS-HEAD AS THE ONLY”SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY” TAKING PLACE AMIDST AN ALL DAY,
“FICTION WRITER’S FIELD TRIP ” THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST FORTY. YEARS.

A FATHER TOLD A SON:THAT HORMONES CAUSE EVERYTHING HE EVER EXPERIENCES, AND THE BOY ASKS: “EVEN SADNESS?” — “YES.”, REPLIES THE ELDER, AND THE BOY SAYS: “THEN EXPLAIN THIS: LET US IMAGINE THAT I AM NOT FEELING SAD, BUT THEN I SEE
3 A HORRIFIC EVENT AND THAT THEN MAKES ME SAD. HORMONES DID NOT DO THAT —
THE EVENT DID IT — BECAUSE
BEFORE I WITNESSED THE EVENT
MY HORMONES WERE, “MINDING-THEIR-OWN-BUSINESS” AND I WASN’T FEELING SAD.”,
TO WHICH HIS FATHER REPLIED:
AHH – BUT REACTING JUST SO TO SUCH EVENTS IS THE VERY BUSINESS OF YOUR HORMONES.”
NOW LET’S ALL SING ALONG: “OH, YOU CAN’T GET AWAY, NO, YOU CAN’T GET AWAY; OUTSIDE IN,
INSIDE OUT,
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, HAVE NO DOUBT.
OH, YOU CAN’T GET AWAY,
NO, YOU’LL NEVER GET AWAY — CAUSE THERE
AIN’T NO OTHER WAY — ANY WAY. HEY.”

THE DOMINANT PARTY-OF-THOUGHTS IN ONE MAN’S MIND HAS THIS MOTTO: “WE DON’T CARE WHO YOU VOTE FOR AS LONG AS WE COUNT THE BALLOTS.”
NON PARTISAN INTERPRETATION:
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THOUGHTS APPEAR TO YOUR MIND — JUST SO LONG AS -YOU DON’T THINK THEM!
,…(THE TYPE OF INFORMATION SUFFICIENT TO GIVE EVEN AN UNCOMMITTED CONSTITUENT CAUSE TO REFLECTION.)

AND FROM MY APPARENTLY, INEXHAUSTIBLE FILE:
YET ONE MORE WAY To DEAL WITH THAT WHICH YOU FIND AND Dislike IN YOUR OWN MIND: I CALL THE APPROACH: “PASSIONATE, DIMINIMUS, TERMINUS”,
WHEREBY YOU PASSIONATELY EMBRACE THE THING INTO EXTINCTION.
….(THIS SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE RANDOMLY APPEARING THOUGHTS OF ALL KINDS, AND FINALLY TO THE WANTING-TO-WAKE-UP PHENOMENON ITSELF.)

A SON CAME VOCALLY THUS,
IN A CONFESSIONAL TONE
TO HIS FATHER:
“MY HANDS MADE ME DO IT;
MY HORMONES MADE ME DO IT;
MY ANIMAL INSTINCTS MADE ME DO IT;
MY UNCONSCIOUS MIND MADE ME DO IT;
MY MOLECULES MADE ME DO IT;
MY UPBRINGING MADE ME DO IT;
MY RELIGIOUS & POLITICAL BELIEFS MADE ME DO IT;
OVERWHELMING, MOMENTARY LUST MADE ME DO IT;
CIRCUMSTANCES MADE ME DO IT;
THE STARS MADE ME DO IT;
FATE MADE ME DO IT;
DEMONIC FORCES MADE ME…” — “ALL RIGHT! — ENOUGH ALREADY.”, SAID THE OLD MAN,
“GET OUT OF HERE — YOU’RE EXCUSED & FORGIVEN.”,
“THANK YOU SO MUCH.”, SAID THE LAD, “THAT IS SO UNDERSTANDING OF YOU.”,
“YEAH, YEAH, BUT YOU BETTER GIT BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!”,
…AN ABSOLUTELY HALARIOUS COMMENT! —
SEEING AS HOW BOTH THEIR MINDS WERE ONE IN THE SAME MIND.

ONE MAN CALLS HIS DESIRE TO AWAKEN & GET-TO-THE-BOTTOM-OF-THINGS:
“THE BEAST THAT NEVER FORGETS — YET CANNOT REMEMBER WORTH A DAMN EITHER.”
2075-’11
ONE MAN INVOLVED IN, “TRYING TO WAKE UP”, (AS HE CALLED IT), WOULD PERIODICALLY, “COME TO HIMSELF”, (AS HE CALLED IT),
AT WHICH TIMES HE WOULD SAY TO MIND: “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?”,
AND IT WOULD REPLY: “RIGHT HERE! ——- WHERE ELSE COULD I BE?!”
…HOW CAN NOT THIS SIMPLE AND OBVIOUS REALITY NOT/SHAKE YOU OUT OF YOUR SOCKS”, (AS I CALL IT)?!

CONFIDES ONE CHAP:
“AFTER CONSIDERABLE REFLECTION ON THE MATTER I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE IDEA OF “UN-CONSCIOUS THOUGHT” ACTUALLY MAKES MORE SENSE THAN THAT OF, “CONSCIOUS” THOUGHT.”
….(HE THEN LEFT BEFORE ANYONE COULD QUESTION HIM ABOUT THIS.)

A CORRESPONDENT WRITES: “LISTENING TO OTHER PEOPLE TALK IS LIKE THROWING YOUR MIND IN A VACUUM CLEANER.”
