Shut up. I’m gonna tell you something. So, the mind is the sixth sense. Now the mind is what we get lost in, and the Gutenberg made that even more complex, but the mind can be a sensory pleasure. So you see patterns, like the Angel Diagram, they show structures, but they’re only temporary and they’re just there as the aesthetic sense, the appreciation of a pattern for awhile; then it becomes another pattern. That’s why you don’t identify with any of these symbols or patterns, they’re only momentary pleasures.

But you get that. The mind is a sense in the sense that it’s a variation of experience. So it’s a pleasure like the other senses or it’s a drama.

Remember the phrase: “the effects precede the causes.” There’s a looping between effects and causes then they’re not in linear symmetrical order all the time. Like Zappa said, the guy asked him in 1991 “is art imitating life or life imitating art?” And he says it’s a loop; and that’s accurate; that’s tactility. There’s ambiguity.
