(satori) permits the penultimate state of consciousness, locating by extension of time, the condition of the enlightened mind: the pre-condition of the human mind existing in an undeveloped state allows for the event known as "satori", the attainment of enlightenment. (satori) admits in its modesty and patience a collecting of remote events of thought. These events are tallied and visibly acknowledge the rate of received “mindfulness”. A period of counting is daily interrupted by a sudden ebullition (of concentrated thought). A motor spins up a crescendo, a valve turns, and thoughts are suspended in the air. Ejecta for (satori) is provided by (float).
