Loving 1's

Possum's trick for removing old miseries.

This works for miseries that have not flowed on by because they are extremely thick. More experimenting will have to be done with jagged miseries.

1) See the misery before you in its clogged vein.

2) Expand your consciousness to include the possibility that you are a dragon.

3) Be a dragon.

4) Think now porcupine- the misery is THICK. To make it go away you have to THIN it! What thins old miseries is information. Bright, silvery, positive information. Imagine it pouring out of your mouth like fire, perhaps while you are flying. Feel free to put on some appriopriate music- a possum should never be artless. Bombard the misery with cascades of quick information whisked along with positive expectation. This possum imagines it as a string of 1's flying out of his dragon mouth.

5) Watch the misery flow away. Thank it dearly and wish it farewell.

Possums treat binary as a minor god. Not so much with fear and reverence- merely with a nod to the power to all the information that can be translated into it.

We possums like to think that our philosophy has something for everyone, but possums are only possums, and they can never know for sure what goes on in the dragonfly's head.
