The Great Power Co. in the Sky
/
In a certain sense, everything eventually resolves itself; forces rearrange and consume one another and the Alert soon learn this and do not remain passive, affixed to the passing parade of imaginary problems and illusionery outcomes. There is simply no ultimate finality to the moves and turns of the processes of objective reality.
There is a certain danger to which everyone should be alert, and that is: the illusionery stability of words…Ah, I don’t guess I should pick on words, they’re as stable everything else.
Some ordinary men are wont to say that one particular occurrence is a sure sign of something else. It’s not just that they’re wrong, just limited in their perception. The whole story is that everything is a sign of everything else.
Are you aware of the fact that the Great Power Company in the Sky charges the same rate for a thousand watt bulb as they do for a ten watt?
I once offered to help a man and he said, “What if it’s a trick?” And I said, “Forget it,” and left. Sometime later I offered to help another man and he said, “What if it turns out I don’t like your help?” And I said, “Forget it,” and left. Some years later a man approached me and asked for my help and I said, “What if this is a trick, and I give you my help and then you don’t like it?” And he said, “You know, this is all real confusing, or else justice is back loose on the world. No wonder nothing ever gets done.”
I can’t help but notice that some of the things I write for you people cause laughter at times, in some. And in some, at times it seems to cause a kind of fear. Wait, I’ve got it: Why don’t the fearful laugh at the laughter and the laughing be fearful of the fear? No, let the fearful fear the laughter, and the laughing be fearful of the laughter…no, let the laughing fearful be mindful of…ah, to hell with it. Ha, ha, ha.
