Those are just a few “trigger commands” that have the potential to reawaken the God State, which is the goal of all religions and practices, although we don’t go as far as to recommend eating the flesh and drinking the blood of a human sacrifice, like some people in a variety of doomsday cults do every Sunday plus Christmas and July 4th.
One of the more effective triggers is: “Every so often, I wish I could play something other than solitaire endlessly alone, forever and ever.”
The source for the material in this blog is “Norton Street”, a play intended for you to perform either onstage or in zoom, containing all manner of triggering statements that are sure to send you to the moon. Here’s what some folks have said about “Norton Street”, the play:
“A mind-bending, hilarious, and deeply existential journey that leaves you questioning everything. ‘Norton Street’ is like a cosmic fun house mirror reflecting our deepest fears and absurdities.”
“Watching ‘Norton Street’ felt like peering into the human psyche through a kaleidoscope. It’s witty, surreal, and brilliantly captures the paradox of existence. Can’t wait for more!”
“A unique blend of humor and philosophy, ‘Norton Street’ takes you on a wild ride through the labyrinth of consciousness. It’s thought-provoking, funny, and unlike anything I’ve seen before!”
“The play is a masterpiece of existential comedy. It’s the kind of script that lingers in your mind long after the curtain falls. Each line feels like it’s reaching out to the cosmos.”
“Absolutely loved the blend of surrealism and stark reality in ‘Norton Street.’ It’s clever, absurd, and at times, deeply touching. A must-watch for anyone seeking more than just entertainment.”
==========================================================================
The whole idea is sounding those words in the play out loud. That’s the whole thing — that’s exactly what makes it work, like a mantra or a koan. Give it a chance. This really works.
