Phase Three is when it all gets so simple | Eastern NC Now

    If you are cursed with that dreaded of all mental conditions of having an overactive mind that requires constant input, I have a suggestion for you. Start writing a blog or just sit down and type (or write) whatever comes to mind. It will help you clear the random thoughts from the cobwebs of your brain and it will also allow you to bore the hell out of any potential readers.

    It is not critical that you are a gifted writer as the process is in the writing and not the publication. After a while, you will no doubt conclude that most of your written ideas are so important that you need to spread the word so others can experience your gems of wisdom. This could be described as the Narcissistic Discovery.

    Do not worry about critics, most people won't read your publications if they are offered for free. If you try to sell your ideas, you are inviting criticism. There is something about human nature that makes people think they should get something of value for spending their hard-earned dollars.

    I have long believed that there are three main phases in everyone's life. Phase One is your teenage and early twenties when you know the answer to everything. Phase Two is the middle years when you find out you don't know dip. Then, if you are lucky, you reach Phase Three and you find that you do in fact know everything since you have had years to perfect the science of life.

    That last phase is when you are generally regarded as harmless because you tend to talk to yourself, and wander around the house looking for who knows what. Nevertheless, with the clarity of a closed mind you have the answer to the most complicated and convoluted dilemmas facing mankind.

    You should beware of debating with people in phase One and Two. They are dangerous and floundering about looking for the correct answer. They have dangerous ideas that can corrupt you if you try to think about it.

    Feel free to debate Ad nauseam with Phase Three members. They don't really give a crap what you think just like you don't give a crap what they think. It is almost as close to nirvana as you will get on this earth. Secure in the knowledge acquired from a lifetime of failures, you can wander through the maze without fear of getting lost because you "know it all".

    I came upon this remarkable realization when I recently read a most profound observation from one of our gifted writers here on BCN. Sabe Wilis has illustrated the futility of searching for the truth in his post which is listed here. Naturally, I had to offer my two cents worth because I am in the advanced stages of Phase Three with the big "N"(see above). I encourage you to read this with an open mind but don't look for solutions here. They will come to you when you reach Phase Three.

    Sabe has found the solution to an over active mind and it is included in his post . which again is listed here. For the record, I think Sabe could be destroying my Phase analogy since he has some great insight into the problems.
