mind flights

man its hot out!
everything has grinded to a halt here at the studio, I am still making works on paper,
one interesting note, well I went and saw crazy matt, or I might say squiziodfrinia mat now, I got a letter from him he is in the county jail, so I paid him a visit, its official and tragic, cause he won't admit he has problems, its like his personality is on the fritz and your listening to him do the mind free for all about what’s happening to him or his thinking, with all my readings about the diseases he has all they symptoms, the only thing I could relate to this is when I got stoned a lot back ten years ago, I wouldn't "relax" so to speak but go threw the same sorta bewilderment an squiziosfriic might have, I don't trust weed anymore, and hell forget acid or some shit like that, I will take the advice Nick gave me "we see what your like on weed forget acid" I don't think most people realize what is like to have reality and imagination mixed fueled by some introverely deep dark passion about something, usually your childhood., When these two things become one, your in for a ride, you have no control anymore, reality is the byproduct of reasonable thinking,. imagination isn't real you believe you created it like a fish in a fish bowl, but when once blurred, when you feelings are real its subject to any impulse of thought,

like the metaphor for the white elephant,
I heard this good story once about thought control
there was this sorcerer and he was training his apprentice how to do this trick , he said "in order for this trick to work , you mind has to be clear of everything, can you do this? "
"Sure" said the apprentice "that’s sounds easy"
"Well one word of warning once your mind is clear , and this is important , don't think of pink elephants" said the sorcerer
"sure"
Well after trying to execute the trick, repeatedly and failing the apprentice came back and said
"I know I can do this trick , but why did you have to warm me of the pink elephants, if you would have never have told me that I would have never have thought about that particular thing, and I would have had a clear mind"
ete etc
I would imagine squitziods have the same simular problem,
its like you lose control of what your mind can do.
