Our heads are overpopulated, Walt. We find it overcrowded because
we move in and try to live there. Our minds and thoughts exist to
help us get lunch on our journey, but we end up using our mental
equipment for trip planning when we are not really "going"
anywhere. But moving things around is our preoccupation.
Accomplishment and progress are the icons upon our altar. We
chase “enlightenment” up into our brain, or read it from a Book. We
rationalize SR and assign it a purpose and a goal, and we feed it
lights, sounds and electronic gadgetry, or candles, gongs and chants
in the same way we feed our body vitamins. We apply scientific
methods to determine the nature of bodily fluids and brain waves so
we can apply various forms of manipulation to recreate an ideal.
And why not? It can't hurt...like chicken soup, and it is good standup
routine material for healer comedians. There are plenty of butt holes
in Theta to satirize.
So we ride trains of thought on oval tracks in theme parks of our
own design, looking for the pencil behind our ear so we can draw
destiny maps to carry around with us so we will know when we get
wherever it is we think are going. Such busy maze work, and aren't
we proud. In the meantime, it is best we invite love and humor to
our table, and leave room for pain and misery too, because they
always seem to show up uninvited anyway. Better to set a good
table than sit in a lotus position at a mock bus stop.
