       Do these five pebbles _really_ form a pentagon?
       Those biased by the Aneristic Illusion would say yes.
       Those biased by the Eristic Illusion would say no.
       Criss-cross them and it is a star.
       
           An Illuminated Mind can see all of these, yet he does not insist 
       that any one is really true, or that none at all is true.  Stars, 
       and pentagons, and disorder are all his own creations and he may do 
       with them as he wishes.  Indeed, even so the concept of the number 
       five.
       
            Can you chart                      The real reality is there, but
             the COURSE                        everything you KNOW about "it"
                 to                           is in your mind and yours to do
               Captain                         with as you like.  Conceptual-
             Valentine's                      ization is art, and YOU ARE THE
             SWEETHEART?                                              ARTIST.

                                            When I was 8 or 9 years old, I
                                            acquired a split beaver magazine.
                                            You can imagine by disappointment
                                            when, upon examination of the
                                            photos with a microscope, I
                                            found that all I could see
                                            was dots.
