   > how did i get here on this planet of bozos?   
      
   ### - haha fancy taking a little trip? (smile)   
      
   coz you'd appear to be in the perfect position now to answer all this for   
   yourself...   
      
   coz there appears to be 3 basic types/groups of people walkin' about:   
      
   1, those that never question their reality and who take it all for   
   granted, as-is...   
      
   2, those lookin' around wonderin' wtf's going-on on this god-forsaken   
   crazy-ass planet   
      
   3, and those who've perhaps spent a lifetime pondering the above two   
   situations until they've finally crossed over into some other perceptual   
   arrangement of thinking/seeing it all, one that isn't just total   
   nonsense...   
      
   e.g., john wyndam (famous for writing the 'day of the triffids' amongst   
   others) described in his debut novel 'the secret people' how there were 3   
   types of people/mentalities living there in their underground prison:   
      
   1, those who didn't even realise they were prisoners   
   2, those who knew damn well they were prisoners in a prison   
   3, and thirdly, the rest which he called/labeled as being just a bunch of   
   ignorant pygmy criminals haha :D   
      
   makes sense? (sure does heh)   
      
   the eternal question being: how to get from point 2 to point 3 (in the   
   first set) and not end up as a nutjob? (really laffing)   
      
   hmm, well (still laffing) unfortunately ya can't lol :)))   
      
   coz technically speaking 'anything' outside of *the norm* (item 1) is   
   deranged hehe...   
      
   although that don't mean ya have to start actin' like a nut (though many   
   do lol)   
      
   that an alternate 'arrangement' is ultimately just another arrangement and   
   so is no more real than any other, the difference being that this time ya   
   'know' it's only an arrangement; one to act on (because one can do/see   
   more from that pov) but not something to get lost in as again being   
   final...   
      
   some talented people can even hang-on to their yoyo-status and switch back   
   & forth between the 2 ;)
