Posted March 14, 2016 OK this might be seen as a geeky if not weird suggestion, but Captain Kirk in The Nexus, red here: "It was like being inside joy. As if joy were something tangible and you could wrap yourself up in it like a blanket." – Guinan, 2371 (Star Trek Generations) The Nexus was an extra-dimensional realm in which one's thoughts and desires shape reality. Inside the Nexus, time and space had no meaning, allowing one to visit any time and any place that one could imagine. The doorway to the Nexus was a violent, destructive temporal energy ribbon which crossed through the galaxy...

Posted March 14, 2016 @jjer94 waking life is supercool "I gently pushed my hand into my pocket and pulled the last one out, it trembled at first and clung to my hand. "Go on, it will be ok," I whispered. Encouraged, it flexed its wings and I knew the time was right. It flew up towards the blue, blue sky and I looked proudly as it's made its way to freedom. The last of my fucks was finally given." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2016 One of my favorite movies of all time, and an unexpected one at that, is 'Her'. I think a lot of people tend to see it simply as a movie about a person falling in love with an artificial intelligence, a kind of off-beat/quirky romantic or even sad movie. However, there are subtle references throughout to several impressively intertwined themes of psychology and philosophy- such as an Alan Watts cameo- which together point to a much deeper message throughout the plot and character development. I found myself watching it from a place of appreciating that both the main character, Theodore, and his A.I. operating system, Samantha, are just individuals learning how best to grow through life, love, and the inevitable suffering which accompanies it all, together and for themselves. It really is a beautiful and inspiring film about the potential of consciousness in the context of living life fully and presently through vulnerability and love. One of my favorite quotes, at least without giving away anything from the movie: "No, it's okay. It's okay. I just... I caught myself thinking about it over and over. And then I realized that I was simply remembering it as something that was wrong with me. That was the story I was telling myself - that I was somehow inferior. Isn't that interesting? The past is just a story we tell ourselves." I highly recommend it to anyone on this forum, and would love to hear the thoughts of anyone who has seen it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
