Tutu: What are you thinking?

Bobo: About the difference between rational consciousness and integral consciousness.

Tutu: Sorry I asked.

Bobo: Your sarcasm is a sign of rational consciousness. Ratio-nal consciousness depends upon setting up one thing against another.

Tutu: But I thought rational meant sane.

Bobo: Which implies that anything that is NOT rational consciousness is insane. Rational consciousness sets up one thing against another.

Tutu: You mean like good-bad, right-wrong, us-them, up-down?

Bobo: Yes. Rational consciousness depends upon such division.

Tutu: But the whole world is based on those distinctions. Is that wrong?

Bobo: That is a rational question.

Tutu: Thank you.

Bobo: I did not mean it is a sane question nor a question to compliment you on. I mean it is a question that a person in rational consciousness would ask.

Tutu: You mentioned another consciousness. What did you call it? Infantile?

Bobo: Integral.

Tutu: Why didn't you give me a snide comeback when I said infantile?

Bobo: I did not wish to play that pingpong game.

Tutu: Oh. Are you in integral consciousness?

Bobo: Much of the time. But enough for now. Let's fight with sticks.

Tutu: But you always win.

Bobo: That's because you are in your rational mind.
