spiritual burglary delicious minutes unlovely products of a puritanical conscience alcohol taken as a club with which to bludgeon into a state of insensibility words seemed to clothe genuine honesty , they prove to be the veriest nonsense epiphanic amorphous mind and its stream of consciousness I imagine a neural interface that could record dreams not brainwaves, but images phantasmagoric films beset by the florid mind sorry echoes in the verbosity Too bad love has fallen out of style now that squares rule the world I can't express "why" in words so unrealistic a view of themselves and the world that they become most difficult to live with little wonder I dwell alone everything is really fragmentary analyzing the analyst tripping over my words instantaneous administration mesmerized by the minutiae of sensations tangles of terminology writhe in his brain collating and sorting assigning vectors in hopeful sectors where heart and love abides
As Arjuna said to Krishna: "The mind is restless, turbulent, powerful and obstinate. I deem it as difficult to control as the wind." Poise, balance, inner harmony, the "creation of an island that no flood can immerse" -- all this can be achieved by one who has learned to handle his impressions. Between the moment when an impression strikes and the reaction to that impression, elapses a time so short it can hardly be measured by man's ordinary awareness.
