Receive the transmission… Ego melts away.

Check out how this illustrator’s drawings of cats evolved as he went crazy. By the end they became crazy psychedelic patterns. I’m ever more convinced that tripping and schizophrenia are exactly the same.

There are billions of people on this world. Where the tell is everybody, and what the hell are they all doing? I can’t even imagine how 7 billion unique individuals manage to live unique and individual lives. I have enough problems filling my time on weekends that I am absolutely dumbfounded that there aren’t people running wild in the streets out of boredom. How does practically everyone hold it together? I think of myself as pretty stable, yet I am pretty close to running wild in the streets. Where are the people like me who are less stable, and why aren’t they running wild in the streets?
My roommate thinks that there lives are all probably boring, and that they just fill their time watching sports, eating, sleeping, showering, and working. I have a hard time imagining that this is true and that billions of people can hold it together just by doing mundane activities. I think that I must be out of touch with the rest of world, and that there’s a huge party somewhere that I’m invited to, but my invitation got lost in the mail.
I know that there are residential buildings around me, but I don’t see any of the people who live there. Could they all possibly just be sitting in their apartments bullshitting? What are they doing? Are they getting drunk? I want to observe people in action. I want to know with what ease people just sit around all day.
It is likely that anyone who reads this is one of those people who’s sitting in their cubicles. WHERE ARE YOU AND WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

Most of you probably already know this, but it’s good to be reminded of.

70% of our DNA exactly matches that of trees. And a staggering 99% with apes.

We all know that we are unique, but it’s funny how that can blind us from how similar we are to all things teran. For a while now I’ve only thought of how I am like a tree in a spiritual way. Now it comes together that there is may be reasons behind our bond that can be explained without tapping the metaphysical. If it is possible to fully explain our connection to Earth using science as a tool, then how would we react to something truely foreign. If you were introduced to something humans don’t fathom, would you have a connection to it in the same way you do to a tree, or is our connection to the tree simply chemical. Is there a connection between everything simply because they share the same universe? With stars as an exception, I’ve never related to anything outside our solarsystem. Are we all really the same, or are we ignorant fools? We thought we were the center of the universe out of self love, are we to make the same mistake thinking that we are made up of the same things the rest of the universe is?

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?
