Re Talk: 293

     If you are being a Real Revolutionary Recruit, you should not allow yourself to think in ordinary terms of thought.  You should not let even your speech be based upon the ordinary terms of thought.  And it is not simply a matter of stopping thought.  That has been tried over and over and over.  And it is not enough for a Real Revolutionist to sit around and hope that one mystical day something will come upon him and stop all of his mechanical, preordained, and non-nourishing perceptions, so that he will be suddenly freed to see miraculous things.  The Few people who are not "to the manor born", but "to insanity born" -- to the bushes born -- should be making the active attempt to find the usable gap between the mind's continual filling in of the blanks, and something else.  It's not THE something else.  It's not the opposite of what your mind would have filled in, but that is a place to start.  Because the opposite is just as pregnant and potentially nourishing as what your mind would normally have supplied.

     In the city, people are living in what amounts to a fog up to the chin, and all of the heads believe they are in charge.  All of the heads pretend they're in charge, and yet, right below the haze you've got pockets being picked, shins being kicked, parts being fondled, and deciding blows being dealt.  But from the fog up, it's a whole other pretend world.  Of course, that's more truth than fancy, is it not?  That's more reality than allegory.  It's more certain than cartoonish.

     How much goes on?  How many of your daydreams are filling in the blanks, and "making sense" of that which, from one viewpoint, makes no sense to you?  Or making that which is outside your experience become apparently instantaneously operational and understandable?  It would seem that this process is taking place from the chin up, and that each and every head in the city pretends it is in charge.  But below the haze, I suggest to you, nefarious, notorious, cogent, and telling deeds are taking place which almost seem removed from these floating heads.
