How Would You Like A Bite Of This Fruit?

A circus appears on the outskirts of the woods in an old abandoned site. An old black train is sitting there waiting to leave. As you come up over the hill, you say to yourself, “Everything is Adam and Eve.” This is about how far back or how deep one has to think about what things really mean. You don’t have it inside you to understand anything now.

Slowly, you make it to a very old-looking circus tent with a person who is half-man and half-woman wearing a large black hat and horse-riding clothes. This speaker welcomes you in, and with a big painted smile says, “How difficult thought is, especially for one so alone.” You say to yourself, “This weird person could not have known what I was just thinking.”

The spotlights are on, and the speaker comes in to introduce itself. It goes on to speak about how magical this night is, and how it needs a volunteer from the audience. You smile and come over, but are frightened by the tail that now moves from behind the speaker’s back. The speaker now says, “How exciting that you have decided to become part of this special evening’s deliberation in what life may offer us all. How interesting that you should make a point about how a decision means nothing.” Out of nowhere, a tree appears with a single fruit upon it. The speaker then says, “A decision is life!” It then picks that one piece of fruit from the tree. It turns, and then says, “The mind just has to obey the reason.” The speaker grabs you up and begins to dance with you in its arms. Into your ear, it says, “All life is or will ever be is thought.” In the next instance, you are on the train tracks watching the speaker standing on the back of the train leaving. You can feel those eyes just staring and staring. Then, you see the speaker step forward with a hand reaching out to offer you that fruit from that tree with desire, and with his other hand and finger motioning, “No, no, no.” In your mind, you could hear the words coming, “You will always be searching, and you will always be standing right here waiting for that thought to make sense of everything.”
