How is it that I’ve reimprinted myself to skim over the intended meaning of a statement and see right through to its potential?

I no longer take anything at face value, I’m always digging for a deeper meaning; I want to break functional fixedness and exploit new ways of using old tools.

Ideally this is a gift worth using, but mostly it just gets me into trouble. When someone tells me a law, I test every case for potential to work around the law.

For once I want to be sucked in and go with the flow. I don’t want to feel like I’m on the outside looking in; I want to glide through the middle of the stream.

Tomorrow I’ll write a post about the dangers of getting sucked it, but for now I just want to feel the power of society; I want to feel the camaraderie of equally ignorant swimmers.

So how’m I doing?

Isn’t it funny how we can be so utterly unaware of ourselves. We think we’re taking steps forward, when we’re really moving backwards. I convinced myself that I have complete control over the way I see the world and that in turn would lead to the world transforming into the world that I imagined. But today I question that theory and think that the world constructed is but an illusion. I want to combine the world as I see it with how the world sees me. It’s not superficial, it’s me wanting to be honest.

Blah blah blah, blah blah blah

how are you guys?

You’re all cool guys.

I’m cool.

So where’s the funk?

I smell funk. Are you calling me smelly?

I definitely get funky? Do you ever?

With him around, it’s easy being a biggot.

Human beings experience. Perhaps we are just very complex computers, but like, when I’m listening to music I hear the music. I don’t interpolate the music, I hear it. On a subconscious level I suppose I’m just collating and interpreting information, but it comes across as experience. Though, maybe that’s what experience is. Maybe that’s what computers feel. Or what computers will feel as they get more sophisticated. Humans definitely manipulate and interpret information, but it’s realized experientially. Why do we have that sense of separation from the universe when we are so obviously a part of it?

Why is it that most older religions are polytheistic and most newer religions are monotheistic? Could it be the collective unconscious slowly moving towards the concept of the unity of everything? In the past most people believed in many gods, now most people believe in one god. I think pantheism is probably next. That’s just taking the concept of god to a whole new level. Of course this isn’t a new idea, but it’s certainly not mainstream.

In a slightly related topic, I recently read a great short story by Isaac Asimov called The Last Question. You should check it out because it’s really good, he’s a very clever person and he describes the cosmic evolution of humanity brilliantly. It leaves me with the question: is our purpose here to create god?
