"Don’t try to drag me into Oz It will never work I’ll kill the Munchkins and the witch I swear I’ll go berserk" --From "Malice In Wonderland" by Joyce Rugg The scandal behind us, We look to break through To a new dimension. The mind folds inward leaving creases. The mind lives inside the the brain— A large surface if all spread out. Neurons are agitated; Glitches occur. Events spew forth like comets, And the mind reels. Mistakes are made like pudding. Upon a moment’s notice Some file is missing. Something in the wiring has shorted out. Evil come, evil go. Evil marches to and fro. *In Hinduism, and in particular Jnana Yoga and Advaita Vedanta, neti neti is a Sanskrit expression which means "not this, not this", or "neither this, nor that" It is found in the Upanishads and the Avadhuta Gita and constitutes an analytical meditation helping a person to understand the nature of Brahman by first understanding what is not Brahman. --Wikipedia
