on Words

Neal, he’s getting at this idea of meaning and origins of meaning on a personal level, like our associations – be it positive or negative both or none – where and what words and phrases do:
“Play some Viennese Waltzes”
“Aw man, you don’t wanta hear Viennese Waltzes”
“Oh, I really do”

Assured of the thoughts in one’s mind as an absolute impulse to be trusted, arising from connections - be it positive or negative both or none - impulse none the less arises in self from somewhere meaningful…say, words that make phrases that make ideas and usually we don’t give any thought to what sense we’re actually making of it all:
“The sun is up in the sky”

But there is no up or down objectively, rather the concept is unsound: UP for me is not the same for you, were you to be upside down, etc…

The feelings and emotions one understands to fuel words are in fact contrary to the outcome of the words, and actually the producing effect comes not from the inside out but outside to inside, physicality into mentality, hand to trigger, eyes to senses –

“Not that I had that feeling when I read it, but on the contrary, that’s the words that produced it” -Neal Cassady
