Art: The Modern Day Caveman Versus The Futuristic Idea Man.

By: Mr. George D. Patnoe., Jr.s' Ambidextrous Brain + Spiritual Mind.

Art the modern day caveman never believed in reading books or buying books or holding books or even looking at books. Of course, Art the modern day caveman would never ever dream of writing a book. Instead, Art the modern day cave man loved to play with plastic balls and rubber balls and leather balls, especially if it was raining and muddy. Art loved to get muddy, but he never wanted to turn the page of a clean book because it seemed boring; plus moving his eyes back and forth from the end of one sentence to the beginning of another sentence was just to much work for Art’s eyes. But his eyes could always move from side to side as he played with his play balls. Art the modern day caveman loved his muscles too, because he could use those muscles to play with any size ball. Although he used his muscles to play with balls everyday, he did not use his brain to read books or to study any abstract or intellectual topic.

Art started loving his muscles and play balls when he was just a boy, but he never learned to love books partly because his parents did not have any books in their house. His parents thought buying balls for young Art to play with was a good idea, but they forgot about Art’s brain and mind and his intellectual development. So he loved playing the simple children’s play games like football or baseball or basketball with his brother and childhood friends, but he never learned to appreciate reading a good book from the moment he was born because, his parents never bought him a book to read, even a simple child’s book before he was in kindergarten. His parents never realized the importance of reading books; nor did they realize that that their children needed to read to develop their brains for their intellectual development. So Art had to suffer all his life from his bad habit of not reading, while his parents never realized the damage they had done to Art’s intellectual development and brain development.

When he entered kindergarten, Art found it very hard to keep up with the other children when they started to learn letters and words and how to spell and how to write the simplest of words on paper. Art’s attention span focused only on the dirty and muddy playground where the play balls would be motionless on the ground. All he wanted to do what pick up a ball and play with it.

It did not matter the size of the ball or the game to be played, he only wanted to play with balls, even if there were no children on the playground. Art had learned that playing with rubber balls is much easier than learning about words and writing words on paper and spelling words and speaking words and putting words on paper with the proper grammar. Art never wanted to touch a book or a pencil at anytime in his life, even if only to draw a picture of a rubber ball. That was his childhood wish!

Art did not care about catching up to the intellectual level of the other students, so he never worked hard to catch up with the other students mental abilities, so he barely passed any of his grade school tests and exams. All of the teachers hoped that Art would one day learn how to read and study like a good student, so all of his teachers passed Art with just the lowest grade to enable Art to proceed to the next grade. None of his teachers ever explained to Art the importance of reading and learning new information; purely for the fun of learning, and even for his future.

Everyday after grade school, Art would throw his books into his bedroom corner and run outside to play football or baseball or basketball or soccer with his childhood play friends. Every once in a while, Art would get into a fist fight with one of his friends when they called him a name. Art did not learn how to respond to other children calling him names, because his parents and his teachers had never taught him how to use words, which should be a major goal of the United States public school system. But Art the modern day caveman did bully the good students by calling them names. But one day in the future, Art’s bullying the young book readers would catch up with him later in his life.

When Art finally made it to highschool, he somehow knew that he had an learning problem and that he would never catch up with the other good students who had learned to read and write and learning during their younger years of childhood learning. So Art guessed and hoped that he would be able to play football for a living all of his life. Art was sure that his hairy bear-like body was big enough and muscular enough for a position on any football team. Little did Art know that there was more to life than muscles and footballs; as many millions of people have yet to realize.

So Art tried out for the highschool football team and he was accepted because Art’s huge body could help block the other team’s players from tackling and hitting Art’s team’s quarterback. He felt that he belonged to the team, even if he was just a blocker for the team. After the football games, Art loved to watch football games on television with his footballs friends. But Art never cared about studying or finding studying friends during his learning years. No one told Art the importance of learning and reading and studying and thinking about the many abstract topics that would make him prepare for his future, and that of mankind. Playing with plastic balls or rubber balls or leather balls does nothing for the future of mankind; although it is a multi-billion dollar industry, which is good for the economy.

During the highschool football team’s practices, the football’s coach would sometimes yell out to the team members, ‘Run around the track.’ And Art the football player would run around the track. When the Art had finished running, the team’s football coach would yell out to his players, ‘Run around the track backwards.’ And Art would run around the track backwards. When the players had finished running around the track backwards, the coach would yell out to his team, ‘Hop around the track on one foot.’ And Art and the other football players would hop around the track on one foot. When they were finished, the coach would have them hop around the track on the other foot. When they were finished hopping around the track, the football coach would have the team crawl around the track once, and backwards the second time. Crawling around the track was no problem for Art.

After each football practice, Art would go home to eat food, but he never wanted to pick up a book for any reason, although he knew that most of his football team members were studying for their regular class exams and tests. Art hoped that he would be seen and chosen by a college football scout so he might be able to play football in college. Art never studied or prepared for college, but he foolishly hoped anyway. Art tried to play a good blocker in his highschool football games; but during his highschool football games, Art was never outstanding, so no college football scout offered Art a football scholarship to college. And when the college’s representatives saw Art’s poor grades, they did not offer him financial aid because they thought that they would be wasting good money on a person who never wanted to read and study and think and learn new information. They would rather spend the money on a good student who was financially needy.

After highschool, Art soon learned that he needed to learn anyway. Art needed to get a job after his last day of highschool, so he applied at a local hamburger restaurant. He had always watched his dad in the backyard flipping hamburgers on the family’s backyard grill, so Art thought that cooking hamburgers would be an easy job, even if was a greasy and hot job. After years of having odd jobs, Art married a lady who also did not enjoy reading books or learning about the important topics that prepares all students of the human race for the future of mankind.

One day, a new neighbor moved next door to Art. After the new neighbor backed the moving truck into the driveway, Artie watched the new neighbor unload the stacks of banana boxes into the garage. Art wondered what was in all of those banana boxes. Of course, there were the normal items that people move from one house to another house, but what was in those boxes? wondered Art.

About a month after Art’s new neighbor moved into the house, Art was proudly standing on his cement driveway as if he owned the world. And Art’s new neighbor was standing on his own driveway. Art turned towards his new neighbor, only to make an inappropriate and disrespectful statement about Art’s own wife. The new neighbor starred at Art with a glare of disbelieve that any husband would make such disrespectful remarks about his own wife. The new neighbor quickly prepared his mind to give Art a mini-speech that Art needed since the moment he was born into the world. The new neighbor knew how he was going to respond to Art, the modern day caveman, so without thinking about the words, the new neighbor blurted out in his very loud voice, a voice that echoed off buildings with the roar of a lion stating the truth to a really stupid human. ‘Do you think you are a man just because you have a willy?’

Art starred back at his new neighbor with his new stupid glare before he asked, ‘What?’

‘Do I mumble?’ responded the new neighbor. ‘I said do you think you are a man just because you have a willy? Do you think your willy makes you a human man? A true human man? A human man with intelligence and integrity? ’

Art started at his new neighbor as if an alien had landed from outer space, just to ask Art the one question he needed to snap out of his mental delusions about what a real human man is, and is not! No other human had ever asked Art the grandest question that any human male could have ever asked him. Art was so much in shock, that he stood still on his cement driveway as he seemed to be waiting for his new neighbor to finish the mini-speech. His new neighbor could not help himself, so he started to exemplify and elaborate his statement with, ‘Don’t you know that there is more to being a human man, even a human male, than just your willy? Your willy makes you a human male, but to be a human man means so much more.’

Art stood still with his mouth closed and his body frozen, so his new neighbor continued.

‘Do you know that turtles have a willy and dogs have a willy and cats have a willy and rabbits have a willy and birds have willy and whales have a willy and horses have a willy and elephants have a willy and even the dinosaurs had willies? And you know that their willies were bigger than your willy, so were they the bigger man?’

A shocked Art stood in disrepair because his animalistic concept of being a human man was being shotgun blasted down into nothingness. But Art was getting the message, whether he like it or not!

‘If the horse’s and elephant’s and dinosaur’s willies were bigger than your human willy, don’t you think that there is a reason for it, either by the laws of evolution and that of a higher intelligence? asked the new neighbor. Art stood still without saying a word, so his new neighbor kept rolling the words, the idea, the new concept of being a human man to Art and to anyone else who was listening.

‘Do you know that you have a different brain and a different mind and a different consciousness than the horse’s and the elephant’s and the dinosaur’s brain, mind, and consciousness? With that mind you can learn English and grammar and mathematics and calculus and history and art and music and drawing and religion and economics and you can learn how to fly airplanes and you can learn about ecology and politics and computer science and the stock market and how to build car engines and how to ...wow, there is so much more...., like astrophysics and God.

And how lucky are you? You live in America where you can go to the local public library or the bookstores and buy any book (s) on any topic (s) you want; unlike the billions of real cavemen who could never buy books or read books to learn anything because their brain and minds were not fully developed. It has taken 500 million years or so for your human brain and mind to able to read and study and learn everything you can learn. Instead, you make a disrespectful statement about your wife that even a caveman would not make in a million years.’ Art’s new neighbor knew he had said enough for the time being because Art turned around and walked into his garage.

Soon thereafter, Art’s new neighbor decided to take at big risk with Art, the modern day caveman. For Christmas, the new neighbor sent Art the Reader’s Digest with the name Art Can Read on the mailing label. Plus, Art’s new neighbor had the teaching company (http://www.teach12.com/ ) send their catalog with the name Art Can Learn on their label. And last but not least, Art Can Write was on the label of a pen and paper catalog.

Art’s new neighbor knew that no one had ever told Artie that his willy did not make him a real human man, and that he needed to realize the importance of his brain and mind. The mental shock must have been hell for Art, but it was about time that he and the billions of other human males learned the real difference of being a human male and even a human man.

Art’s new neighbor knew something about the modern day caveman mentality and now he was living next door to a modern day caveman, so the new neighbor had his work cut out for him. That is, if the new neighbor could knock some modern day smarts into the modern day cavemen on planet earth.

Art’s new neighbor also knew something about the spiritual man, the spiritual man made in the image and likeness of God. Art’s new neighbor’s mind had traveled back into the past and he realized a very important fact. The traditional concept of a nude animal- human who is walking over the earth as they tried to survive the primitive atmosphere of planet earth is compounded with the traditional concept of those humans taking millions of years to mutate from one pre-human brain to the next stage of the human brain and then to real intellectual development.

But the new neighbor knew something else about the human brain and the development of human consciousness. The modern day human consciousness is either mentally advancing forward into higher intellectual and spiritual realms; or it is walking with the very old caveman concept of man. Art did not know that he was still stuck in the caveman mentality of believing in the false concept of the willy man, instead of the intellectual and spiritual man. Art did not realized that his willy never made him a modern day human man; although it did make him a male for the purpose of making babies. But the modern day human is not living in the caveman times of thousands or hundreds of millions years ago, even though it may appear otherwise at moments of history.

Art, the modern day caveman, wrongly believed that his physical body, and especially his willy made him a human man, versus making him a human male; compared to the obvious opposite of the human female. Art, the modern day caveman, had been so busy playing with rubber balls and leather balls and plastic balls all of his life, the he did not realize that he had missed out on the most important aspects of being a modern day human; developing his mind and human consciousness, even waking up the divine and spiritual consciousness of the true, eternal man, made in the image and likeness of God: or Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love. There the true man who is made in the image and likeness of God is not at all like the modern day caveman who thinks this willy makes him a real man.

The true man made in the image and likeness of God is an idea of intelligence of Infinite Mind; man is totally spiritual, not fleshly; man is an unchangeable identity which is sinless; man is always at one with the whole universe; man does not live in space and time, but is a deathless individual life of Life; man is a totally spiritual consciousness which knows nothing of evil; man is forever perfect and at rest in the realm of Love. This spiritual concept of man is not the version of the modern day caveman, but it is the future of the ideal of man.

Of course, Art the modern day caveman had no idea of this age old concept of the true spiritual man; nor did the townsfolk who would soon learn something about an advanced man in their mist. Art did not know that the future of mankind, of the human race was not depended on millions of people playing with plastic, or rubber, or leather balls, even if there is nothing inherently wrong with playing with rubber, plastic, or leather balls. But having grown men playing with plastic, rubber, or leather balls will do nothing whatsoever to promote the developing collective human consciousness of mankind, to its next stage of both intellectual and spiritual development as a state of consciousness, a state of consciousness which will lead humans out of their self-made wars.

Art did not know that the modern day human needed to develop his brain and mind in many other ways than knowing what is the true spiritual concept of man. As a modern day human, every human needed to realize that there was more to life than playing with plastic, rubber, or leather balls. So Art’s new neighbor planned a few sneak attacks on Art’s eyes. The new neighbor’s garage had bookshelves on one side of the garage while the other side was made for the regular tools that every human male needs to work on his car, or yard, or house. So the new neighbor loaded up the garage’s bookshelves with hundreds of books on many topics, so whenever Art was looking at the garage, he would be reminded that there were humans who enjoyed reading and learning topics of all kinds.

When Art or his wife, (who also did not believe in reading books) drove up in their car or backed out of the driveway in the car, they would sometimes see the books. The new neighbor would smile and he would sometimes wave as he hoped that he would have a positive impact on their minds. Soon enough, the verbal word spread that the new neighbor was not destroying his brain with drugs of any kind. But Art had a problem with book lovers and those people who wanted and needed to learn about life, so he started to become a bully towards the new neighbor, just as if Art was still in grade school or high school, when he would bully the smaller boys and girls who loved to read and study.

Poor Art thought that because he was physically bigger than the new neighbor, that he was going to scare the new neighbor. So the new neighbor prepared himself against the modern day caveman bully. One day, Art started to harass the new neighbor, even though he knew that he was being taped with a high level security camera system. The new neighbor called the local police department, because the new neighbor knew something about the laws of society, and that the bully might learn something from people who are properly prepared to deal with the modern day cavemen. The police arrived and viewed the new neighbor’s security camera. They were standing still, partly in shock that Art could be so stupid. The police walked over to Art’s house and they knocked on the door to have police to bully conversation. Art and his wife were in shock when the police knocked on their front door, but they learned another thing about their new neighbor and about the law and the police. The local police left Art’s house after they had gave Art a few messages about the law, and the consequences of being a modern day caveman bully.

But really, Art the modern day caveman did not care a dam about the law. Art the modern day caveman only saw the black uniforms, the shiny badges and big guns and mace and radios and handcuffs and of course, the black and white patrol cars with the blue and red lights on top of the black and white patrol cars which are always ready to take any modern day caveman to jail.

In a very real sense, Art the modern day caveman bully was bullied back to normality by the local police department because when the current state of human affairs has a mixture of violent day bullies and modern day intellectuals who will be paving the way for the mankind’s future, the men in the black uniforms are need to help the process along; to serve and protect whenever they can.

Soon thereafter, the new neighbor set up his black telescope in his yard. He started to look into the deep cosmic universe; while Art peered over the wooden fence which separated the modern day caveman from the futuristic metaphysical and spiritual man; even as they both lived on planet earth, a cosmic ball in the cosmic universe.
