a central idea behind advaita vedanta is the belief that all that is going on, happens in cycles. to achieve total liberation would be to free oneself of the almost dream state that we call life. i practiced my knowledge of the subject by dozing in and out of consciousness through class. it must have been from waking up early to study for my ( Read more... )

For you to write this in livejournal format must mean it is either:
a)important
b)unimportant
c)"happening in a cycle"

I think... Who knows. I am very confused.

I hope you had some good dreams. I dreamed that I had written the wrong answer on my homework for how I felt poverty could be solved. In my dream I had it ALL FIGURED OUT and it was an EASY ANSWER. I even woke up and almost changed my answer... but no, I fell asleep. Now poverty will continue to last because I forgot.

Miss you!

yay, you're back on lj! i'm back in fw, so i got your card. thanks!

i'm glad you had a dream worth celebrating. my last dream was that my classmate, the one that i went with to the bright eyes show in omaha, suddenly went berserk and shot someone. of course this is shteen's fault cause she kept saying, just because he's my classmate doesn't mean he's trustworthy. waking up and realizing it wasn't real was a big relief.

dreams are so fascinating. our neurons are synapsing and forming images that we don't need our eyes to see. not triggered by any external stimuli, but practically a figment of our imagination. i've decided i have to sleep more than 6 hours from now on. 4 non-REM cycles of 90 minutes each in order to get to REM, so as long as i sleep 7 or so hours i'll get to dream...

the post actually happened within 5 minutes. everything socially went well that day too, and i couldn't help but let it all out. i really wish i could remember my dreams, but there's just too much to focus on while awake that perhaps it's best to keep those two lives seperate.
