sometimes one just gotta count some things, like groceries and money-bills.

Exchange "just gotta" (rhetorical justification) for "need" and then question that again. Hunger represents the needed foundation underneath groceries; and evaluation by choice the foundation underneath money. Both already being fully exploited by the suggestions of others; hence having to pay for food; while pretending that money represents value.

"This is one money within all money!"

You are here questioning behavior within an already controlled environment by others; controlled with the power of your consent to it.

It's probably a less-stress adaptation to just count the money

What one sets into motion while doing so represents the devaluation of choice. It's what led to the slaves of world wide poverty to be utilized against the worshipers of mammon.

"Live your century, you sod. You paid for it!"

To pay (discharging a debt) represents person to person discharge of resistance; which ignores resisting velocity (value) for recharge of resistance (evaluation). Notice that getting what you want devalues it; once you have it. That represents the lowering of your resistance to the temptation of wanting more.

Never really like Jo either.

artificial aka fitting; putting

Hence fiction in ignorance of reality...ONE already fits into ALL, and ALL puts each ONE into itself through self differentiation. Artificial counterfeits natural; hence "a manifestation of some collective hallucination" aka the suggested meaning by the few that the many are consenting to.

if I don't at least sometimes label things sensibly they're liable to up and disappear into the archives

Another allegory for form (I and things) ignoring (to label) flow (disappear into the archives). Not only will all the suggested labels disappear back to base; but they also corrupt ones comprehension of being moved by the same base. Forms liability within flow represents resistance by choice.

So in that alembical analogy, would flow be the alembic itself or the fire?

The base for both the alembic vessel (momentum) and the ingredient fire (form) within. One can snuff out a fire; but it can be rekindled any moment; hence existing as the formed reaction within the enacted momentum of flow.

What proof does the distilled form come out at?

Ongoing velocity causes a momentum; which then distills temporary parts of the ongoing whole into momentum aka loss causing its own internal growth. Both together representing the internal self sustenance of energy.

Who's the condenser in this whole business?

Reacting inside to enacted outside.

I looked up "counting" anyway, and got to k`óm ("by") + paw ("to hit")

Aka form choosing to hit; to strike; to have friction with; to spend resistance on other form. When one counts "two"; than one ignore differentiated ones; while holding onto sameness "two"; hence causing internal friction among form. In martial arts one reacts to mitigate friction; not seeking it; hence the parasites suggesting martial arts to contest for prizes aka friction for glory aka Ali for adult diapers and spoon-fed meals.

My approach is usually to just not be there when they arrive.

I go with redirecting the incoming; while letting my blades get a little slice of friction.

Now these identical bottles, are they identical in form, shape, volume, and/or inherent bottleitude; or are they perhaps clones of each other?

"They" can't be identical since you already perceived "them" as differentiated from each other; while trying to reason about suggested likeness. As for cloning...that's just a slap in the face for those who ignore ONEs transmutation out of base ALL aka the cultivation out of original oneness (energy). And how did tptb (the parasites that be) call their initial clone? Dolly the sheep aka DOLL, noun [Greek; an idol; to see.]

Anyway I think I'll stay in the bamboo age for the forseeable future. It's just too useful a material to not be maniacally using for every purpose all the time.

I had an issue with using all the fancy martial arts kickpads; when attaching them to the trees in our garden; which scared the birds; bees and squirrels away. After I used halved bamboo sticks; most of the noise and vibration reduced to the point where the buzzing upstairs continues while I go to town downstairs.

used to be a time they'd make guys like me on government-sponsored assembly lines

When they were needed to build up the next racket for all the others; which is now coming to its rotten fruition. The following rebuilding will establish more salt of the earth types for the next round. Right now we are in this clusterfuck of an overripe rule by deception era; yet still mostly cuddled enough to watch it all burn some more before we really have to get inventive and prosperous again.

Difference (perceivable) then Sameness (comprehensible) iff (Sight == Insight) eq "True"; // There I used logic. Take a shot.

IN (within) SIGHT (perceivable) hence differentiated potential to grow comprehension; which you ignore when suggesting "equal truth".

Equality represents suggested likeness under the umbrella of sameness; which when consented to, causes the conflict of reason (true vs false) which destroys differences. E pluribus unum (out of many one) represents the suggested inversion of the comprehensible (out of oneness many).

One perceives differences; the few suggest sameness by tempting the many to consent to react alike (chain of command; uniformity; following the party-line; agreeing with the mainstream; democratically submitting to be governed by others; consenting to suggestion contract law (religion) etc.)

Problem with using me as a reference is that I'm just changing all of the time.

Sensing changing differences represents communicated inspiration for adaptation. That ain't a problem: but how the solution inspires reaction.

I've been accused of enough shit online

A great sleight of hand for that goes "I am whatever you say I am; if I wasn't then why would I say I am?" Others will keep suggesting accusations about what you are; yet if consent by agreeing or disagreeing with their suggestion; does their accusation gain power. You were perceivable to them before they could make the suggestion about what you are...so you already were.

The song itself is called "The way I am" aka the way (flow) I am (form). That simple.

If somebody suggests something to be alike; akin and the same; then... well then I know they're selling something.

As a difference; "alike; akin" represents the sales-pitch for ignoring being different for sameness. Try to come up with "two" things that are the same and the "two" contradicts sameness whatever alike; akin things you come up with. If you can perceive one and another one; then that implies that you represent another perceivable different one.

What they are selling represents suggested nothing (the ignorance of everything perceivable) aka Seinfeld's Nothing Pitch.

Bottles and bamboo are the same

"and"...if one can count it; then one perceives it as different from another one (I get the love for bamboo canisters though).

Never point a Word at a Word. Aka suggestion vs suggestion while ignoring perceivable.

Never stand in front of a man with a loaded Word.

Aka being open to consent to suggestions.

Words are always live.

Aka always a temptation to ignore perceivable for suggested.

Always mix Words with Noises. Always, forever, they mix.

To mix ignores that sound differentiates from source; hence the struggle required to maintain harmony (resonance). Suggested words represent the dissonance within perceivable sound; since the words tempt to reason over affixed meaning; instead of finding level resonance) with the flowing sound by resisting to be flushed by it.

Always get other people's Words and Noises.

Aka resisting to grow their suggestions by growing your own comprehension of perceivable instead, hence shaping whatever others suggest to your perspective in accordance to the natural order.

If you think Admiralty Law's a suggestion

The foundation represents the perceivable natural order (flow to form); which the few utilize by suggesting the many the inversion thereof. So now you have natural law cloaked in admiralty law; while the many get legalese for their ignorance.

I like the contradictory nature of it; it suggests that a want has been fulfilled, but also suggests that there's no point in further wanting.

It tempts to ignore the ongoing temptation (velocity) and ones responsibility (resistance) within it.

I found that "wanting" often got in the way of "getting"

Want represents spending resistance to get; need represents recharging resistance by adapting to everything already supplied. Furthermore; the "in the way" idiom represents suggested progressivism (seeking to go with the way); while ignoring to be the temporary resistance within the ongoing way.

Dragon should buy himself a shotgun.

When a dragon walks into S-Mart and asks the clerk for home invasion repellent and Bruce Campbell turns around: "This is my boomstick"...“It's a twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington, S-Mart's top-of-the-line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair-trigger.”

“That's right. Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart.”

a combination of cocaine and COBOL

Writing under the influence...I can't recall ever trying that.

these things go downstream with all the things, they go all the way, all the way along, and then they come past, and they go off, whoosh, and on, and one presumes eventually they wash out to sea and go beyond the environment or something like that.

Within ALL each ONE represents the center where loss and growth are processed within momentum; like self sustaining filtration from base to ingredient and back to base. Then again...representing the remains of filtration doesn't sound that flattering.

Secrets of the universe mate. Those gotta be dug up manual like.

a) when you comprehend something; then it was there before; freely perceivable; ready for you to adapt to. Think back over your progression through martial arts...the potential just had to be grown; it wasn't kept secret from you.

b) SE'CRET, adjective. [Latin secretus; seg; to separate] aka differentiation through motion; which represents the foundation that establishes growth within loss. The parasites suggest it as concealed from sight; when the differentiation represents gaining and then further growing sight.

Never know what they're hiding out there.

ONE knows (perceives) ALL (perceivable) from ones perspective at the center; while "out there" represents suggestions form others tempting to ignore balancing within center.

I think that's a bit magical, at least.

MAG'IC, noun - " the application of natural causes to passive subjects". Once again a status quo of subjected reaction (form) within natural action (flow). To react as the subject to the natural cause implies applying nature; hence expressing it through self.
