Epilogue
I am unwilling to proceed any further . Cheney's conviction that Trumpism is a "Cult of Personality" is proof of a Campbellian "Restricted Consciousness" --- so be it .
I may regret leaving you with the very Romance I so dearly loathe but other Topics have become vise-like pressures . The title of this blog is from a Tom Wolfe quasi-biography / History of Ken Kesey, author of [most-notably] One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and [less notably] Sometimes A Great Notion .
Here goes : The Bus
"There are going to be times" , says Kesey, " when we can't wait for somebody . Now, you're either on the bus or off the bus . If you're on the bus and you get left behind, then you'll find it again . If you're off the bus in the first place---then it just won't make a damn ."
Wolfe qualifies : The World was simply and sheerly* divided into the "aware" i.e., those that had the experience of being vessels of the divine, and a great mass of the "unaware", the "unmusical", the un-attuned" . Or, "You're either on the bus or off the bus" . Consciously the "aware" were never snobish toward the "unaware", but in fact most of the great jellyfish blobs of straight souls looked like helpless cases -------- . But these groups [of the Aware] treated anyone who showed possibilities, who was a potential brother, with generous solicitude ."
