Found Ideas
(5)
This might be a good time to come up with one or two 'found sentences' from the two books previously mentioned. Standby... OK. I found this one in a few seconds as I thumbed through I Say Onto You: 'Remember, the higher you go the more alone you are.'
And here is one from The Mustard Seed. It is not exactly a 'sentence' but a series expressing an idea: 'Death happens near you but never to you. It happens in the neighborhood, but never at the center; it happens at the circumference. You have never died, you cannot die... the nature of the self is just like the space: empty, infinitely empty, formless. Everything happens within it, nothing happens to it. This is what Jesus means.'
Well, maybe.
Concerning this theme, here is a quote from Castaneda's, A Separate Reality: '...death is the whisper of mescalito in your ears... death is nothing. Nothing!'
And from Finite and Infinite Games: 'Rules are not valid because The Senate passed them, or because heroes once played by them, or because God pronounced them through Moses or Muhammad. They are valid only if and when players freely play by them. There are no rules that require us to obey rules...
I could go on and on but you get the idea.
