The Unspoken Thing; Kesey's role and the whole direction the Pranksters were taking-all the pranksters were conscious of it, but none of them put it into words, as I say. They made a point of not putting it into words. that in itself was one of the unspoken rules. If you label it this, then it can't be that....Kesey took great pains not to make his role explicit. he wasn't the authority, somebody else was: "Babbs says...." "Page says...." he wasn't the leader, he was the "non-navigator."
Quotes from Kesey that I enjoyed:
"You're either on the bus or off the bus."
"feed the hungry bee,"
"Nothing lasts,"
"See with your ears and hear with your eyes,"
"Put your good where it will do the most,"
"What did the mirror say? It's done with people."
The in inscrutable koans, in which the ovice says, "what is the secret of Zen?" and the Hui-neng the master says, "What did your face look like before your parents begat you?"
"On the the face of it there was just a group of people who had shared an unusal psychological state, the LSD experience-
They all began with an overwhelming new experience, what Joachim Wach called the experience of the holy," and Max Weber, "possession of the deity," the sense o being a vessel of the divine, of the All-one.
