#4552: If only I could find someone who knew the names: Terence Mckenna, Joe Rogan, Bill Hicks, Alan Watts, and Jiddu Krishnamurti. Signed, 小白猴 PS: Quote for the Day: 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 unprobational not as something that has arrived here by fluke, but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental. I am not trying to sell you on this idea in the sense of converting you to it, I want you to play with it. I want you to think of it’s possibilities, I am not trying to prove it. I am just putting it forward as a possibility of life to think about. So then – let’s suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream, and that you could for example have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time, or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure during your sleep. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each you would say “Well that was pretty great”. But now let’s have some surprise, let’s have a dream which isnt under control, where something is gonna happen to me that I don’t know that’s gonna be. And you would dig that and would come out of that and you would say “Wow that was a close shave, wasnt it?”. Then you would get more and more adventurous and you would make further and further out gambles what you would dream. And finally you would dream where you are now. You would dream the dream of the life that you are actually living today. That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have. Of playing that you werent god, because the whole nature of the godhead according to this idea is to play that he is not. So in this idea then, everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality, not god in a politically kingly sense, but god in the sense of being the self, the deep down whatever there is. And you are all that, only you are pretending you are not. - Alan Watts, The Dream of Life, youtube/watch?v=wU0PYcCsL6o
