Having become thoroughly "weened" off this particular human trait many years ago - which evolved over thousands of years, really, as a necessary means for >>physical<< survival, particular in small and larger groups - it continues to AMAZE me, that literally NOT ONE PERSON I know has become so "weened", and apparently can't even INVENT for themselves, or UNDERSTAND why "getting weened" is a Really Good Thing! Realize I am NOT talking about >>physical<< anything, but ONLY (as always!) about the intangible world between the ears, behind the eyes, that can't be touched.
So, the MOST MECHANICAL of mental activities - Fact Pushing - continues to dominate their intellectual death-march, or as they would prefer to hear it said, life-march. Get it?
I could write reams about this "weening" (as in, disconnecting from the NIPPLE... once and for all!), but I fear most would just ignore it, without even a further thought, so I won't. But, I could!
Even those who might read this, and be thinking - right now - "Is he talking about ME? I am not a 'fact pusher!'" (go on, check...) ought to simply re-read their OWN last 30 messages sent to any public forum where there are PEOPLE reading them, and be honest.
Unless you have become thoroughly WEENED off the NIPPLE, believe it or not, someone who CAN SEE, WILL SEE little drops of mommy's milk around your lips and trapped in your beard and/or mustache if you've got one, just as EASILY as reading or hearing your words.
In case there is some lingering question regarding what the OPPOSITE of "fact pushing" (being a FACT PUSHER) is, it is "thinking independently" (being an "independent thinker" - that is, being FULLY WEENED) - not in imagination, but in the sense that a new neural "TASTE BUD" has developed in you, whereby WHENEVER even the tiniest urge to PUSH ANOTHER FACT arises, that radical taste bud flares up, and flashes ALERT! ALERT! the way rotting meat, eggs or curdled milk does.
It only takes a few - seriously, just a FEW - real 'awakening moments' of this kind, to pull the intellectual death-march back from the inevitable brink - hopefully just in time - and to establish a NEW ENLIGHTENING march to the land of Independent Inquiry into the Nature of Mind, Thought and Consciousness. But then, this isn't a FACT, is it? So, if you're such a PUSHER, you didn't read this, you didn't hear this, I wasn't even here... so there's that fall back position for ya.
HINT: there are NO FACTS in that land. NONE! So when you next feel the urge to trot out some FACT regarding this or that regarding what WE are presumably here (/GA) for (expanding consciousness), see if you can begin to sense the newly burgeoning neural taste bud engorging with refined life energy and kick-starting something!
