By the way, the two fellows mentioned in the last post were 15 and 18 years old, respectively. Are you partially "Brain Blind ?" Is it far easier for you to recite the alphabet forwards than backwards? Much harder to count backwards down from 100 than up to 100? A struggle for you to carry on a present-moment conversation when you hear a favorite song playing in the background? Seemingly impossible to remember the names of three individuals to whom you've just been introduced? Very tough to remember the names, in order of seven or more random items within two minutes after you've had them, recited to you?

A Paradoxical Puzzle. This incredibly strenuous introspective and reflective exercise requires a Braintenance Strain that will, if you'll allow it, elevate you to a new level of reasoning and a higher state of awareness and consciousness . We'll call it "The Paradox Of The Self Upon Reflection." It is a never-ending exercise which causes the essence of you as an unidentified, unattached, disembodied, ego-absent observer, to continually evolve. It is ultimately transcendental. It builds a newer power of...
