Captains Log
Entry 9
Once upon a time there was a boy who was seeking the answer to life, he ventured through snowy mountains, dry deserts, ravenous jungles and mighty oceans but never found his answer. One clear and quiet night he stumbled upon an old man sitting on a cliff side staring into the moonlit ocean, curious as to what this old man was doing the boy went up to him and took a seat.... He asked the old man what he was doing here so late and in such an isolated location, the old man replied "I'm dreaming", puzzled the boy asked the old man what he meant... The old man smiled and asked the boy a simple question "don't you dream?", the boy said "of course i do but its all an illusion". The old man said to the boy " i'll let you in on a little secret, 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 begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental. I'm 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'm not trying to prove it, I'm 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 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 fulfil all your wishes, you would have every kind of pleasure and after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each you would say "wow that was pretty great...but now lets have a surprise, let's have a dream that isn't under control that something is going to happen to me and i don't know what its going to be and you would come out of that and say "wow that was a close shave wasn't it?", then you would get more and more adventurous and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream and finally you would dream.............where you are now, you would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today."
Got sucked in didn't you?
Remixing as its finest, daily dose of boredom extermination successful.
The chill room I'm designing should have a similar effect on these veganites.
Captain out.
