Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 There are two very distinct motivations in the mind - they can be experienced WHEN they occur, but not controlled, that is, they happen. One: the loading up of knowing. Two: the unloading of knowing. Normal men live in the second mode most of the time, without awareness, and in that regard, they are unloading - losing that which could have been made permanent, in the same way air leaks out of a leaky balloon. Unnormal men - whomever/whatever they might be - live in the first mode most of the time, with awareness, and in that regard, they are loading - acquiring that which they would have otherwise lost, in the same way air fills a balloon. This little " ditty " - if that is what is was/is for you - is not just made-up (which it is), impossible (which it is), but correct (which it is). Funny how thought, which is original to you, can be made-up, impossible and correct, and only you can know which is which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
