Mystical Methods - Part I

In a related health item: since we first reported on this story last week, new findings have come in proving even more conclusively that there is a fresh limit to how much the mind can take--with fresh supporting statistics reaffirming the fact that no one yet knows where this cutoff line might be.

If you want to, we can do this:

I'll describe a man who knows the secret as someone who can look at everyday, mortal existence as an ongoing cartoon, without losing the awareness of it still being what its participants take it to be.

One man's explanation for his present condition is that shortly after he was born, and just as he was beginning to think, a wild, unidentifiable beast, covered in a gooey adhesive, streaked by him, and his mind became affixed thereto, and he has yet to be able to detach it therefrom.

...Come on, folks -- what d'ya think? -- it's gotta be worth at least an 8.5!

And a reading from our Revised Mystic's Guide:

Working on One's Self: What you can do 'til you get a real one.

One man said: "The proper diagnosis is half the cure."

And a second man responded: "Then you're stupid."

To which the first man replied: "Thanks, I feel fifty percent better."
