my brain infects my soul
whoa. that throws me for a loop
when i dream and escape to other realities, i am no longer bound by my brain
i envy you. i can't escape that way.
the only thing in this reality that i am conscious of, is that it exists, is different, and i am another person in this reality.
so stop. stop being a different person in this reality
there has *got* to be an easier way than reincarnation
i can always wish for you. give you a little bit of my spirit.
getting help means you're strong enough to ask
you don't need to be fully responsible. you need to advance.
you don't have to go alone. that's pride
okay, here's the thing. i think that nothing important can ever be accomplished alone. i've done a lot with my life, but i owe a lot of it to my family and my friends
you're still alive because you have a reason to live. there is something for you to do still.
at least that's why i think i'm still alive. i pray that i can accomplish my mission so that i can die sometime soon, but God seems to ignore me.
my pride and not accepting help, it may leave me in quite a bind some day
well, i will help you whenever you're ready.
but i *need* you to advance. you're my spiritual teacher, remember?
when i asked you if i could morally go to Pantheacon, you gave this incredible explanation about universial truth.
and so i asked if you would be my teacher.
did i say yes?
don't think so.
i'll figure out how to re-write my brain to my liking. im always telling tohers that they can change their brains pathways. which is actually an idea i got from my mother.
yeah. you can alter pathways. it tends to happen when an idea is repeated a lot
unused pathways go away, new pathways are built up when an idea is repeated
yeah, true. but humans are more accurately described by differential equations. a lot of times we need an external forcing to jump to a new solution
i want so bad to find it completely within myself though
then you have to disrupt yourself
i think if i pcik up more knowledge, i might have some really great ideas of the workings of things and analogies to compare my thought processes to. then I can definately have a better point of reference to be able to work from in repairing myself. or would that be re-designing myself? both i think.
more knowledge builds more neural pathways
and that's why philosophers love universities.
i continually pick up self created and concluded knowledge that comes from my observations. when doing that, there is only a self created point of reference for accepting what is thought up or received, or interpretted. it makes for a lot of errors in judgment.
heh, i used to be quite the oposite, i don't know how i turned that around. I think it has to do with certain experinces that opened my eyes to my closed mindedness and steadfast stances grouned in programming and not first hand experiences
i lost a friend that way. i was fully convinced that i need everyone to think like me and that i was right. i felt like it mattered for me to argue points and drill my vision into their heads.
i think we're all programmed to some degree. that's really what discordianism is about.
breaking the programming and being your own person
'don't believe what you read'
the law of fives, too. "the more i look for fives, the more realize that everything is related to them"
you find what you've been programmed to look for
by hearing another's point of view, you can either learn that you are wrong or think of a new reason that you are right
or something totally different: a synthesis
oh, btw, you can tell me i'm wrong any time you want.
i like to talk about what is in my head only when there is a recptive audience. otherwise, i feel like there is no use
see, i like what's in your head. the pain there is just masking the greatness
the whole idea is to get them in a debate where ideas can flow back and forth. attacks go nowhere. they're more funner, but don't work as well.
of course, i'm a perpetual student, so my worldview is pretty skewed
and since i like talking over philosophical stuff so much, it should be no surprise that i'm totally enamoured by you.
:-) thanks
