Way-homers, and (it's a) BINGO!


Any idea - of value, substance, potency (particularly about these "higher ideas" of which we speak) - when conveyed to another who's never heard them before, will Always be, at least for a while, sometimes a very long while, a "way homer". But when someone finally "GETS IT!" and exclaims, "Now, THAT's a BINGO!" they've gotten it - well, at least a finger-hold if not a little more - and won't need to be tripped up on that milestone any longer. Such conscious realizations can then be verbalized. It's mathematical, because such "transference of language" is what neurons DO!

As long as your supposed realizations can't be verbalized, clearly enough to yourself that you are able to say something like, "I've said precisely what I wanted to say, as clearly as I could now say it," you still haven't truly "GOTTEN IT!" - that is, you're still on the way home, roaming around the back roads looking for sign posts, and reference points, which you can't SEE 'cause there aren't any! "Getting" something, is clarifying to one's understanding of things, and such "transference of language" is meant to do just that. CLARIFY.

For example, a "policeman" (a metaphor) stops you (in your thought tracks) and asks: "Who ARE you?" Momentarily, you are quite stunned at the abruptness of the inquiry/statement (and yes, Ginny, it IS a statement too; a recognition that you do NOT already KNOW who you are.) "Who, ME?!?" Now, if you have to "look at your Driver's License" (in your head, silly. IN YOUR HEAD!) then you are still "on the way home." Oh yeah, the answer to the first question herein posed, should be utterly OBVIOUS, as is the nose on your face, at least to the few wandering neurons up there who see clearly without thought.

By the way, there are countless questions (statements) that can be posed to you and everyone, where your understanding simply does not yet penetrate, where the issues for you are still quite unresolved, and they find you - as usual - scratching your head in wonderment. Like an inside joke, that you keep hearing, seeing everywhere, but have absolutely NO CLUE what is being referenced. It goes right over your head! And you know it! THAT, in itself, should (well, sometimes does) stimulate a desire to make more "effort", though, what kind, what intensity, what frequency, may still escape you.

There really is no "solution" to any of this, as there is no "problem to be solved", except to expand your UNDERSTANDING of the simple little word, MEMORY, which as you should know by now, is NOT what ordinary consciousness in ordinary humans think it is... not by a long shot!
