  1. You don’t listen to music just to hear the last note. You don’t eat a meal just for the last bite. You don’t just read the last page of a novel. You don’t just watch the climax of a movie. The process – the ups, downs, challenges and triumphs – is what makes everything beautiful, worthwhile and fun. The same goes for life. Alan Watts brilliantly explains this concept in a lecture called “Music and Life.” The way he expresses this concept will shift your entire paradigm on life.
  2. When the police enter a house in which there are thieves, the thieves go up from the ground floor to the first floor. When the police arrive on the first floor, the thieves have gone up to the second, and so to the third and finally out to the roof. And so, when the ego is about to be unmasked, it immediately identifies with a higher self... It goes up a level!
  3. If you awaken from this illusion and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death (or shall I say death implies life?), you can feel yourself – not as a stranger in the world, not as something here on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke - but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental.
  4. @LastThursday Well, he said, it's LIKE you took a bottle of ink, so he meant that metaphorically
  5. No, I'm the one behind the camera, and whole thing
  6. @BipolarGrowth you might find this one more interesting
  7. @seeking_brilliance It's all one collective dream
  8. @LastThursday Well said have you watched the video though?
  9. @James123 Watch the video and listen please
  10. @seeking_brilliance There you go. Have you watched the video?
  11. @BipolarGrowth Thank you for the feedback, and yes I made the video. I just started this thing, but I have many other videos like that with other topics, you can check my channel. I actually like most what you said, and how you said it, but I realized from what you said that you haven't heard the whole thing.
  12. @BipolarGrowth Have you actually listened to what's being said? or You just read the title and made your assumptions about what's being said? Saying the big bang happened was only for the sake of argument, for those scientifically minded people who are sure that the big bang happened.
  13. @James123 I don't know if the big bang happened, but if it did, then I am it, and so are you.
  14. Contemplating death is like Manure for spiritual work, but nobody wants to hear that!
  15. @Aturban But I didn't quite get what you mean!
  16. @James123 Words. Adjectives. Pronouns. Adverbs.....Run on and on and on
  17. @Grapevine It's you, just like when you dream of your mum, or a monster, both are you in the dream but you can't seenit from that perspective.
  18. @Captain_Diabetes What do you mean?
