I saw a brief story about someone learning something deeply esoteric.
.
I suddenly felt a familiar creepy cold sensation on a new part of myself opening.
.
Then I told myself,
.
"Hang on?"
"Before I open a new can of perceptual worms,"
"Let's apply my own version of Plato's 3 Sleeves vs. Rumours."
"But this time altered for little figurative golden bumble bees."
.
"One: will this new revelation make me happy?"
.
"Well, no," my spirit said.
.
"Ok"
"Fair enough, personal happiness is not the most important thing anyway"
"Two: will this new knowledge make others happy?"
.
"No" replied my higher self "It won't"
.
"Ok, then"
"Three: will this 'greater insight' help people?"
(Because making people happy and helping them are often not the same thing.)
.
"Again, no" my deeper self-admitted.
.
"So you want to unlock a new part of my mind, that won't make me happy, others happy or help anyone?"
.
"Errrrr" stammered and stalled my so-called 'golden' self,
.
"No"
I stated, shutting the cognitive mystic door....
"So, You can totally just Fuck off with that shit!"
