clever sayings - you have arrived when:

someone says your crazy and you take it as a compliment

hmmm… i’ve been told this…except i am always self conscious when i hear someone tell me this

why does the self consciousness matter?

  it doesn't matter if You don't mind

mind over matters.

matters over-mind , never-mind, if ever, mind , when ever, mind.

(over - mind. …
then super mind
Aurubindo)

you don’t mind?

Whatever. I mind. Whenever, wherever. she was here a minute ago. She left. I saw her here. Well didn’t exactly ‘see’ her. But she was on here, and we two were together here, briefly, and i tried to chase her but she left suddenly. Maybe she has nothing to say? Or, maybe, she doesn’t want to say anything. Where did You go ? IT’S FUNNY THOUGH, AND I DO NOT WANT TO SIMPLY SINGLE OUT because it is common here fro many people to pop in pop out, and often even sign in anonymously , and i can feel why, know why, it is because either that person doesn’t want to talk or talk to that person, or whatever.

It may be that two people trying to converse instinctively feel and know they will after such a stretch of time, will reach some kind of plateau, where nothing further can be said, where each will instinctually begin to feel some kind of remorse in having gotten into the conversation in the first place, and dread the scenario of in like a lamb and out like a lion. I wish could come to grips to my overriding sensibility of trying to wrap my brain around the very name , and i hope no mod or anybody see this as a need to ad hom or troll or whatever,
and i just picked it only because at the time our two semi subjective consciousness for one moment met on this crazy blog here clever sayings, i realized the pathos, and then that’s when it hit me.
i know i am on to something what i dunno, i just want to cry out from the desert of my longing soul why she he? abandoned me, and although the narcissism still works on some level to be able to anchor 'It" and most assuredly assure or that very dead set in brain that it’s not 'IT" anymore for which live the most majority inn objectless worship of self denial, but the need to reopen the vastness that is the caverns of what is beneath, not below,

out of which draw to get it out not a simple modus operandi, not by a long shot
no indeed e , nononono
and thus such said must forever tongue hold.

i never expect answer to this by ,
and if they would really know the nature the kind of which has been
some reduced to, existentially course, don’t hold your breath dear, the suspense
the ideodic reduction into unheard and previously unheard.

Tell me do you sleep with picture under your pillow so as to recreate ‘IT’? Can you now in all honesty face the world as before in this new light, or vampir hair on face strange horse growl
and very lithe abridged versions,
smooth silky
and resolutely shifting the energy tilting upward,
break it up,
by extemporizing suddenly and seeing a cosmologically decisive, divisive, comedy program,
the urging of all little brethren seeking continuation almost in continual flow
of seminal chain of events and ideas one following one another

then have you arrived.

Obe,

I like this thread. Borrowing on what you initially said, I think we have arrived when another person can say anything to us - either positive or negative, and neither phases us nor do we take it personally, because we know that it is more about them than it is about us. lol

You come up with the technique of cross breeding a parrot with a tiger. You go up to the podium to accept theNobel weird prize, and upon asked, what You think is the significance of Your achievement, You boldly try to explain to the audience, "I can’t tell You right now, but i suggest You ask IT, but i have to warn You, when IT talks to You, You better listen!

:laughing:
I’m actually trying to picture IT. The colors themselves must be rainbow glorious. What does IT’S mouth look like? Is there still a beak?
What does it feed on?
Too seriously huh? :mrgreen:

You have arrived when you see the mama bird kick the baby bird out of its nest and understanding its true meaning, you act in accord with that.

Relating to that Arc, is a similar thread, one which i have completely lost, and it had to do with a conversation i had with Kriswest. It concerned not a bird, but a kitten. This kitten came around for food, and i fed it for what must have been at least two months. I tried to lure it closer and closer , by placing the little bowls of Kibbles and water nearer to the back door in a very calculated manner, so that it will not suffer the same fate as my other seven cats (all from the same litter) suffered, that is, being wolfed down by wily (but how i never knew) coyotes. I thought it would have worked.

Arc, Kris, i am very sad to report, it didn’t. One day to the next, the kitten stopped coming around, and i know that what befell it, was the same fate that my previous seven cats (the last one i literally saw being gobbled up) suffered.

At any rate, as an aside, one time i was coming up the hill, and happened to cross paths with a very angry looking woman with a rock in her hand, practically foaming at the mouth. A very large coyote slinking away into the bushes was the apparent object of her fury, and as we engaged in a brief conversation ,telling me, that her husband just went to buy a weapon, so that next time they see one, they can ‘blast it away’. I felt sympathetic to her views, and told her i had to really control my emotions after the loss of so many cats, the kitten being the last straw.

She lost her very dear pet of 10 years, a tiny little miniature poodle, whom they cherished more than life it’s self, and who wore a crystal collar on her neck, and had been implanted with a homing device, in case lost.

The fact is, cat behavior is a strange kind of thing within the stray cat circle, and this mother cat, similarly abandoned her kittens at about one month, but not before orchestrating a show of a very high decibel, that it was my turn to take responsibility for this kitten. I suppose, she took the other kitten elsewhere, so as perhaps, not to inconvenience me by the burden of having to buy twice as much food. But i am reading too much into this puss and boots story, except the similarity to the bird being thrown out of the nest is obvious. Animals know, instinctively, that it’s a dog eat dog world, and they are not trying to be callous of their parental duties, they just want their critters to become able to take care of themselves in the real world.

Where did these creatures end up? Perhaps in their own version of paradise, for surely, they were cut down (ingested) way before their time, way before they could have gone into a relationship themselves, with an opportunity to propagate their species.

I feel sad, though, i still can re-create in my mind that confused look, as if trying to evaluate it’s existential dilemma, of what it was created for, as the tight jaws of the attacker extinguished the life blood.

Not at all!

 I see no beak, but do see a protruding mouth, wings, yes, four legs, a kind of sphinx , except it's pure animal, the eyes red, colorful, with greens and orange-red playing in the gleaming and eternal sun, as duck's back emits a luminescence, harboring no ill will.  It is a guardian, as the owl is a messenger.

The shut in says to the shut out, “come in”.
The shut out says, “I would if i could find the key”.
The shut in says, “Stupid, You left it in here”.
The shut out says, “No, You come out here”.
The shut in says, “Man You are out of it”
The shut out says,“No i am in it”
The shut in says,“That’s a matter of opinion”.
The shut out says,“Hey, i forgot i had a duplicate”
The shut in says(quietly to himself),“Swell, that’s great, now i’ll have to find another way to bride the
key maker.”

The shut out says, “Oh incidentally forgot to tell You i am a mind reader”.

when the geneticist was asked what the latest cross bred thing is in the cage, consisting of the cross bred parrot and a lion, answers, ’ i don’t know yet, but when it starts to talk to you you had better to listen.

…The Pope yells out ‘Christ Almighty!’ and Zeus himself says go home.

And the Pope says, I would if I knew where it was and how to find it

And the world has arrived when there are no more ‘sane’ people saying unintelligent things.

‘intelligent’ people can arrive at a sanity which apply to the world as conceived by themselves.

Sanity, insanity, I dunno, they say it’s all in your mind and you’ve always got a choice. In the end I agree self control is the key to it, the way to possess the land as Jesus says.
