    Themes of Jack The Mes of JackShort Slayings (of the Pretense of Knowledge)

    You dont know Jack. Anon

    Anything but winter streetsand nobody on the whole earthand the penalty of consciousness.Anything but.Czeslaw Milosz Poem: Reading the Japanese Poet Issa

    O your life, your lonely lifeWhat have you ever done with it,And done with the great gift of consciousness?Delmore Schwartz Poem: All Night, All Night

    This is what we can expect of a man, that he be usefulto other menand if he cannot be to others, then tohimself. Seneca

    People always use each other. Human relationships aregood or bad, moral or immoral, depending not onwhether people used each other, but on how they do so. Thomas Szasz

    We can create the conditions in which complexorganisms will arrange themselves. F.A. Hayek

    The worst evil is hardness of heart. Erasmus

    Our virtues yield our vices. Will Durant

    While we are alive, therefore, what we have to give to each other is atone and the same time the simplest yet most sublime gift--ourselves."

    James J. Lynch

    The individual's most vital need is to prove his worth,and this usually means an insatiable hunger for action.For it is only the few who can acquire a sense of worthby developing and employing their capacities and

    talents. The majority prove their worth by keepingbusy. Eric Hoffer

    Nothing to declare but this consciousness that has learned todeclare itself only but not alone in doing so.

    After the first birth, there are other deaths, ifyou are gifted enough to live out your lifethrough multiple bursts before your lastbreath and learn what love is.

    Amateur professional, professional amateur

    to laugh at yourself while seriously tickling life forunderstanding.

    Bubbles, like economies, like humans you dont need to givethem breaks, they take them.

    Love has no tensesit is intenselyreleased and relived without need forrelief throughout pasts, presents andfutures.

    Freedom never fails to proveirresponsibility.

    Her entire body of work is her entire

    body at work upon mine.

    Autonomous versus anomalous, one of my main Mes is to befound in the clearing differences between these two words. Ihave always claimed and tried to prove, I belong to the classof autonomy, and that this is not anomalous, but the meaningof the mean of the always becoming Being, Man.

    It took most of my life timed to now to makemistakes and allow them to re-make me.

    Behold our citadels of lower yearning,teaching learned ignorance leading toearned helplessness.

    Truth about you: a stumbling block or abuilding brick?

    When the container is worth more than what it contains, it istime to be consciously human.

    The Part must become the Whole before itcan become part of another more inclusivewhole; otherwise, the partly Whole becomesthe holey Part.

    The immature prove themselves; the mature improvethemselves.

    Meaning cannot come from means but only ends; thus themore means, the less meaning. The lack of fulfilling ends then

    tends to become the End of everything including meaninglessmeans.

    The Family, the Church, the State: the sacred Trinity thatsacrifices freedom for control.

    The Way has walked me more than I have walked it.

    The voice of the wound depends upon the impossibility of itshealing; the lips of the wound must remain free to kiss and tellof the pain of being separate yet together.

    External, Internal, Eternal, Returnalhow areyou moved to do your You?

    The meaning of life is to live a life ofmeaning; the meaning of suffering is the

    suffering of meaning.

    I am a scholar of loss following its footnotes until theydisappear in love.

    A homing pigeon with no home but the sky.

    Insanity is inanity; the Void will be filled withreality sooner or later no matter how muchvain vacuity is pumped into it by statedexperts of the Therapeutic State.

    We need most to be saved from those trying tosave us.

    I taught her something she doesnt know her.

    Rather than making do, do your making.

    A person is not a problem to be solved but a solution to beunderstood.

    From God is dead, to God is not yet born; just as, from whathappens after you die, to what happened before you are born.

    If you must save someone, save yourselfthen ask what for or for whom.

    Your life will refine your death; your death will define your life.

    Why I am. Why am I? Your choice will pick you.

    Finally, my arrogance equals my ignorance.

    You must be free to choose before you can choose to be free free from in order to be free for. You must choose to be freebefore you can be free to choose free for in order to be freefrom. Depending on where you live and who you are, one or

    the other.

    Whats the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing overand over and expecting different results. Whats the definitionof sanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expectingthe same results.

    You train dogs; you re-mind persons to think.

    Go sin against the Omnipotent State, our

    new God, and be absolved of all its falseproblems and falser solutions.

    The ruler rules, imposes its methods ofmeasuring the meaning of life upon itsmaterial, the masses, aided and abetted by itshandlers, who cut according to the given pattern,sew, and then distribute the required fashion of theemperor with no clothes.

    Reason, the rudder, going nowhere without emotion, themotor, going round in circles without the rudder.

    We are all born slaves; a few of us manage to think our way tofreedom before we die.

    After the politics of modeling for power proves itsimpotence, whats left is reality reasserting itselfafter the death of the State unmourned by themillions it killed.

    Market forces or forcing the market? Always and everywhere

    the State is might not right.

    Those who cant sell their goods, end up telling others what todo with their goods and bads.

    This, more than anything else, expresses theending of any civilization, including the latestfuneral, the Un-Tied State(s): those in power donot produce but only prey on those who do; now, in America,its only making believe rather than making things; using

    money to make more money, the exact definition of inflation;symbols rather than what they point to. The End, Fini, and, to

    4

    begin, again

    You can lead a man to freedom but you cant make him free.

    There is no free will. Rather, think, the

    will to be free. Freedom is not a given,something you discover outside yourself;rather, its a creation, an achievement fromwithin.

    Wholly part but only partly whole: the self-conscious human being.

    There was no audition or audience, so as the director I choosemyself to play the part of the whole and watch the drama

    unfold from the back row and report on it as the critic withouta medium to his name.

    The past has as many possibilities as the future for the manwho must constantly discover what human life is for.

    The State stated you. The State ate you. The State satiatedyou. The State tells you who you are and why you should be.The State devours you for its survival and growth. The Statesatisfies you only enough for you to satisfy it. The State in the21st century worldwide is getting fat on you. I suggest westarve it. Dont let it eat you, for whatever sacred reason itmight give you. Stay away from its omnivorous mouth thatpretends to be a tit. Those who suck are sick unto death; offerthem freedom and leave if they are not interested.

    Medicalization and Technocracy in one word, Scientism have spawned a cultural Petri Dish where Means canovercome, or exist without, Ends. It seems clear to me thatmeaning can seldom come from means, but mainly from ends.When means multiply, ends shrink. The only means that

    allows any end to begin is freedom; and the only end worthachieving is freedom to allow more means.

    The Hu-Man, the Who-Man, the Questioners Quest as Whatare humans for?

    To always be on time you must first be in time; and tomake time is to take time. Time is the I as Me; thecreating and maintaining of the unique person you may be,the conscious shaping of your Paideia.

    Planned and forced order results in unplanned and destructive

    5

    disorder.

    When any part of a whole assumes it is the whole, then thisfalse whole becomes a hole, a black one, into which all theparts that make up the whole are sucked, including finally the

    false whole.

    The unanswered question is acceptable; the unquestionedanswer is not.

    The individual versus the collective, the schizoid split, andconstant conflict, of humanity.

    Controlled uncontrol, the free market, out of control intoorder, creative destruction. Versus: Uncontrolled control, the

    coercive state, out of order into control, destructive creation.

    Freedom and Responsibility have only one child: Free-To-Chose-Responsibility.

    Most try to make you believe what they think; a few make youthink about what you and they believe.

    The mask of arrogance upon the bones of ignorance:plundering politicians without faces disappear into historysmirror.

    Affected, effected, infected make up your mind, life is eithera disease or a cure for consciousness (what ails manunkind) or chose freely to care and love.

    Many fall in love by tripping over, or trying to kick away, thetruth. Those who have stubbed their egos on reality enough,choose to walk into love, eyes and egos responsibly open andcaring and careful.

    So many endings come from one beginning. So manybeginnings coming from one end.

    Connections first; then corrections.

    To come over; to over come. Worlds of conflict and creativityare spilled out in these three words.

    Each star is the head of a silver nail driven into the dark tobuild a mind or crucify love.

    We cannot not be attached, but we can choose the nature of

    6

  • 8/4/2019 TheMes of Jack-Short Slayings-July 31, 2011

    7/14

    our attachments. I am always trying to turn the chains ofhuman conditioning into lifelines to better climb the cliffs ofthe great IF of human life.

    You do not have to plan when your purpose has nothing to do

    with achievement but only recognition.

    If you only make mistakes you are dead. If you never makemistakes you are deadly. So be lively and make at least 3, butno more than 6, a day!

    Western public health authorities pretend to care; butwhat they really intend and do, is to scare the people intorelying on the State.

    It is only when you can do harm but choose not to, thatinnocence becomes a virtue.

    Compete to complete.

    A professional is a person who believes that what they do ismore important then who they do it to. An amateur is theopposite: the person they do whatever to, is more importantthan what they do.

    In all my interactions with men or women, students, friends, orunknowns, I seek to find out: Do they have what I mostvalue/want as a unique person?

    If they do have what I want/value, then when they find outwhat I have to offer them in exchange this unique me, thisspecial man I am will they want to make the trade?

    If we both choose to make the trade, will we takeresponsibility for its results without resort to blame,resentment, or any other form of hurting another?

    If they dont have a., how can I be of use to them to makethem worth valuing to me?

    Are they interested in using me to make them more value tome?

    The lively loop or the deathly noose: which are you caught in?

    As for certain dogs, the tail wags them; so for certain humans,the penis does.

    So many beginnings leading to just one end. So many endingscoming from that one beginning.

    Human life is a non-random solution seeking random

    problems.

    Unto, undo, due to, You.

    The central task of human maturity is to know the ripe from

    the rotten.

    Dont let others define you, but do let them refine you.

    Choose: either Adam Smiths Invisible Hand; or theTotalitarian States Visible Fist. An open or shut case?Spanked to birth; or, beaten to death. Choose.

    A dream that cant be enacted becomes a nightmare.

    A very few of us create the State to obliterate or cover overour all-too-human change of states. The State is neversatiated, notice, because it runs out of fear of change; it triesits best to convince the drug-induced masses to continue thedrip-fed and promised paradise and that the high state itguarantees (but consistently fails to deliver) will always last.Alas, it doesnt; the drug high brings corresponding lows andthe opposite-value causation (see D.G. Garans books) swingsinto actions causing public and private depressions. Selah.

    The Free Market creates labor-saving devices and the minionsof the State label them vices; the State creates labor-causingvices and connives its citizens into believing they are virtues.

    Every weapon is a tool if you know how to use it rather than itusing you.

    God is Love; Love is Freedom; and Freedom is Responsibilityfor Freedom.

    To the extent you cannot govern yourself you will allow others

    to do so; or, you will claim you have the right to govern othersbecause others cannot control themselves as well as you can(and you control yourself only to control others, because youcannot control yourself without controlling others). Either way,it is a matter of self-control versus other-control. And, eitherway, it is about Freedom versus Coercion.

    Your freedom begins when you finally feel your cageencroaching.

    Things are only self-evident, if you have a self for them to beevident to.

    As you age, life may not get easier for you; but if you matureas you age, you will get easier with life.

    Learning to teach is teaching to learn.

    Loving to learn is learning to love.

    From the love of wisdom, through her, he came to the wisdomof love.

    I am committed to life, learning and love. My cherished threeLs always responsible to reason.

    I dont have the answers to your questions, but I have

    questions that might help you find your own answers.

    I am wholly a part and partly a whole.

    If you cant find the end, it means you are beginning again.

    The State was hungry and it ate us. Burp. Moral: dont be amorsel; stay outside its mouth. Starve it.

    The State is Destructive Creation. The Free Market is Creative

    Destruction. Until you understand this difference you willcontinue to degrade yourself along with the main part of theuniverse.

    My heart is a very large diamond it has to be to hold all myflaws and losses and not break.

    Jack of all trades, master of mastered by none.

    If you have nothing to live for, you will find everything to diefrom.

    Free will is about willing yourself to be free and responsible forthat freedom.

    What do you want from me? b) Do I have it to give? c) If I do,what will you give me in return? d) Is it worth it to me, totrade with you?

    Life is not a problem to be solved; it is a solution in which youare dissolved and must participate in to be precipitated out of:

    uniquely separated particle from the uniform whole, departedforever from not-knowing, and the singular consciousness of

    9

  • 8/4/2019 TheMes of Jack-Short Slayings-July 31, 2011

    10/14

    this knowing until death absolves you of your knowledge.

    Did you trip over the truth or were you trying to kick it away?

    The softest animals have the hardest shells. Humans are the

    softest animals.

    What cannot be overcome must be withstood untilunderstood.

    The Gordian Knot of this brain I have many times tried to cutthrough with the sword of reason; but I am learning to allowall of my mind, big yes by little no, to tease out natures andnurtures hold on me, knot by knot, loss by loss, love by love.

    Not equality but quality. Equality is the opposite of quality; ittends to degrade to the lowest common denominator. Itbrings Greshams Law into social relationships: the betterpersons get chased out of the equation and mainly the worstare leftand this left over always blames the better for theirworse.

    You dont know Jack but then, neither does he.

    I am turning my vices into devices for attaining virtue.

    Your heart is the hoof of a one-legged horse running along thehorizon of choosing to be human.

    The art of shaking hands with your heart and smiling with thenew moon pleased to purely be in the bluest corner of themorning sky.

    Freedom is the unanswered question for humanity. We do notknow what to do with it. But notice it knows, too well, what todo with us.

    I know you have felt understood and loved by me. Pleasedont throw this away as worth less than death. When you areready, come back and let me understand and love you moreclearly and thoroughly. Use me to become more you. Wo ai ni.

    When you realize that Nowhere is always Now Here, you willchoose without choice to give the gift of your life for anotherto live along with you. You can, in hopeful but uncertainterms, expect their life to live in return. I call this ultimate

    human action, love. And how many times you can do it is ameasure of your worth and success in being human.

    Too often when we phone others and find their lines busy it isbecause we have mistakenly dialed our own number.

    At the core, I am so grateful for this gift of life examined and

    occasionally understood.

    My Diamond Heart has many flaws, the better to see itsbrilliance and blindness.

    To see yourself through is to see through yourself to turn themirror into window and watch how we learn what humans arefor.

    So many desperately duped by the drive to be mollified with

    the We are all One mantra. Yes as the deserter whisperedgoing over the fence: But which One? The love of powerdisguised as the power of love. The Tyrannical Old Rageposing as the Five Star New Cage for control of others asusual.

    A metaphor for madness: the tectonics of the volatile Self thatcant accept its faults and builds up the blame until itsopposing plates of bad versus good, slip free of theirunmovable positions, releasing the energy that cant becontrolled, that results in the earthquake of the unforgivingSelf that brings itself down in pieces the better to buried in.

    The free market is creative destruction; the State isdestructive creation; both always and everywhere aremutually exclusive.

    The main good that is exchanged between humans, and thatassumes the transactional status of money, is meaning. Wemake meaning and trade for it on the free market or capture itby physical force as criminals and dictators. We are, literally

    and metaphorically, made of meaning. When we do not haveenough of it we kill ourselves or others or both.

    What we most fear and desire miraculously appears in ourmirrors as we recognize the scowling tyrant or smiling friend.

    To delay is to decay; every day, every moment, you must beborn again to be borne again, heavier and heavier as yougrow towards death, reaching toward ripeness rather thanrotting, until you fall, fulfilled, from the Tree of Life.

    others/enslave others ________, (place here any word thatimplies a substitute for rational consciousness of oneself,sometimes termed think) therefore, I am not.

    Vice reversed is virtue; virtue reversed is vice. Evil to live;

    Own to N.W.O. So versa your vice. Against yourself is foryourself. Selah.

    Man made God(s) in his own image and proclaimed the Wordwas made Flesh. In the ideology-raped 20th century world,man made the Flesh into Word by the hundreds of millions ofdeaths. As Eric Hoffer showed, the Word always feeds uponhuman flesh.

    Inflation is only caused by the State and it leaves a variety of

    Stretch-Marx on the progressive body politic.

    Your face takes my place in time to love.

    You are who I am when I am not this was taught me with thefirst look when I fell into You. You are the beauty that breaksinto every breath I take to be given back to You.

    Use me my Muse, do with me to be your truth and I will sufferyour ruth.

    Looking into your beauty, I see my death come to life as love.I am Everyman who has appeared on this earth and madelove to You. I see us all as those bright sparks in the depthlessdark of your endless eyes.

    Your face is made of my hands and everything I touch is You.

    The absurd birth date of when I began, October 23, 4004,Sunday; or October 23, 1944, Monday.

    Your face is the mirror I become reflecting only the beauty ofYou for all to see.

    You will never be defiled no matter how many men believethey have had you you will always remain purely You andtrue to your integrity, untouched.

    Dont fall in love; walk into it with your eyes wide open, onelife in front of the other.

    I dont want to be left and alone; I want to be right and withyou when alone.

    I could look at your face for an eternity or two and still not seethe extent of your beauty.

    Your face has more nuanced and meaningful change then the

    Yi Jing.

    Your face flies into the sky of my eyes taking who I am inthree beats of its wings.

    You are the Muse I have been seeking to be used by.

    To be confident and vulnerable; critical but open to self-error.

    In Braille is spelled Do not touch. You do not have a

    flashlight to find your flashlight. Welcome to the paradox oflife that lives on death.

    Our bodies are tombs in which we are already buried; andwombs in which we are continuously being born.

    I would find a woman who could be my apprentice and masterin the Art of Loving to Live and Living to Love.

    Your beauty is unbelievably, unbearably, beautiful.

    I dont want to change you, I want to exchange with you, todiscover who you are and show you who I am, so we can bothwork our play together, for our common good, and for thosewho enjoy our art.

    Bring out the best or free the beast; and it is necessary to doboth to do each.

    Eat your hunger, see your blindness, be your absence.

    Face the fear in the mirror and look through it as a windowonto the wonder of who you may yet be.

    Notice: LIVE, reversed, perverted, is EVIL.

    Notice: OWN, reversed, perverted, is NWO = New WorldOrder.

    Ancient Greeks: Know Yourself; Ancient Chinese: GrowYourself; Modern Hollywood: Show Yourself; Post-Modern New

    Metaphor makes the obliviously known the obviouslyunknown.

    The evolution of our senses gives us clues as to what humansmay be for.

    The State preaches and practices freedom from freedom, aka,tyranny for your best interests. Dont invest your life in itsbonds that can offer only negative returns.

    If you know what freedom and love are, then you do whatfreedom and love are for and why. Freedom and love areactions motivated and directed by their inherent highestvalue. They are the sole means to their sole ends. End andbeginning of any story. And you are their middle, the answer

    to the riddle of both.
