haha, I didn't even realize.

^That picture just broke my mind a little. In the best way possible.


I wish so badly that I didn't have dialup so I could watch this video.

Such truth...

Humans just take and take, without any thought to how this could effect the things that keep us alive...and therefore our own existence simultaenously. This is similar to the way humans are willing to injest just about anything, without a single thought to the consequences it would cause to their bodies.

The Earth and the body--in fact life itself--are temples; temples we are infinitely and miraculously lucky to have been blessed with. And the world is all-too-willing to desecrate and take for granted; intentionally or otherwise.

Perfect examples = embalming, abortion (regardless of your stance on it), drilling/mining/otherwise raping of precious minerals and resources, pollution, deforestation, overpopulation, hazardous waste, urbanization...the list goes on.

What is to be done?
How does one cross the rift caused by disenchantment/disillusion?

Holy hell, I can't wait to smoke this..

I've seen both videos before. I'd love to see more and more documentairies on this subject.

Here's my own 2 cents:

Have you ever listened to Mudvayne?

Their old CD L.D. 50

Throughout the CD their are clips of Terrance and his brother speaking...

To quote System Of A Down..
"Life is a waterfall,
We're one in the river,
And one again after the fall.

Swimming through the void
We hear the word,
We lost ourselves,
But we find it all?

Cause we are the ones that want to play,
Always want to go,
But you never want to stay,

And we are the ones that want to chose,
Always want to play,
But you never want to lose.

Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.

Life is a waterfall,
We drink from the river,
Then we turn around and put up our walls.
"

One way to cross the rift is to realize the rift or division-based way of looking at reality is a false belief system. From there, one simply shifts the way in which they perceive this eternal moment of which they are interconnected and interdependent parts of the same whole-- holons.

How can one ever be separate from this moment they co-exist and co-create?

No one can tangibly distinguish between "You" or "I" apart from the ideas and assumptions they use to separate one another.

If you are one who believes in causality, then you undeniably believe "we" are both of the same source.

If you believe in an acausal universe like I do, then much like a hologram this reality exists inseparably from anything else, and only seems to exist as separate but in actuality exists more as a projection, tulpa, or thought-form from your "mind".

Even the terms; "mind", "You", or "I", exist simply as a projection from the same sorcerer who projects all sources swirling around you at each given moment.

"Now" is it...

"You" are it...

"This" is it...

"Awake" to it...

This movie looks great, I wish I had time to watch it right now.

Can't believe I missed this thread last time around...I always get so much out of these discussions.

Interesting, that's happened to me about 5 or so times that I can remember. I suddenly wake up and I'm in an intense state where I'm aware of everything subconscious. The first few times I resisted and freaked out, but the last two times it happened I managed to let go and it was a really cool experience. I wonder what causes it.

I was talking to my friend last night and she asked what I was watching so I told her. Her response? "even i have to say that sounds gay lol" and "omg how u watching this its soooo fucking boring lmao."

A part of me died a little inside.

Yeah, I know that game. Most of my friends would probably think less of me if they knew I was into this stuff. It can get frustrating. But its not that they think its 'gay', 'stupid', etc, they just don't understand it. As a general rule they'll see it with a bias and probably dislike it. We're not free from this either. My friends are into things I might call 'shallow', 'mind-numbing', etc but I'm just doing the same thing they are.

Its the nature of the human ego to have a limited, biased view of the world. And thus the inability to see outside its worldly programming. The way I see it, the trick is to learn to accept the environment passively as it is. No opinions, judgments, condemnations. Just acceptance of love of everything as yourself. With that comes the ability to see everything as it is, instead of as it can be or should be. It may sound rather stale and robotic (at least it did to me), but I've felt this state before and its quite the opposite. I live for it now . Though unfortunately its much much easier said than done.
