Pseudonym Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Is there any other? A deep man believes in miracles, waits for them, believes in magic, believes that the orator will decompose his adversary; believes that the evil eye can wither, that the heart’s blessing can heal; that love can exalt talent; can overcome all odds. -Essays XVIII Beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck kottke Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Chuck, you remind me of Emerson :heart: Emerson - thanks Ivet!:blush: But to measure up to Emerson, that's a mighty tall order to fill! I wonder what Emerson would have done, had he had a computer?:inquisitive: What sayest thou? I had a dream last night! At one point I was getting chased by someone and they were going to shoot me... uhhh...... it was weird... I can't believe I still remember it! Seldom, I remember my dreams :wacky: :shocked2: That's quite scary! I used to have dreams like that (the chased part, but not the getting shot at part!) - maybe a natural response to survival in the wild - our minds testing out escape possibilities, lest we be caught by wild animals! We are after all mammals, only recently (in the geological and anthropological sense of time) capable of fending off predators. So it's your mind's tactical testing that you were experiencing! Neat! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivet Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Emerson would've made the world a better place if he had a computer. He could've got his word preached to even the most unreachable corners :wacko:! Neat guy, for sure :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 It's a waterfall :wtf: It's a waterfall.. it's Niagara falls, it's Victoria falls.. it's what we dream it to be! It's all images on a screen, a screen excited by electrons from a beam hitting it.. what you see is in the mind, but then also in the minds of others. To me, it represents something. I see your image, and I am imagining a person who is on the 3-D screen without the green-red glasses! An artist no doubt. it's called Violet Horizon by Peter Wileman. Came across it previously because it's a. very popular b. bears a resemblance to the works of Clyfford Still, who I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matter-Eater Lad Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 One of my favorite things in life are dreams. For some reason almost all of my dreams are positive and really good. I've been lucky to almost never have a bad one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could've got his word preached to even the most unreachable corners :wacko:! Neat guy, for sure :D I disagree, there's not exactly much room for poets like emerson, whitman and thoreau in a world of computers. Besides, Emerson already did make the world a better place.

Tnspieler1012 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I am writing from a dreaming state of mind, for which you seem incapable of achieving, unless you prove otherwise. Go back to the land of reilly, unless you are unafraid of dreaming.. unafraid of exploring the unknown universe of ideas, thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Be free. Be free of the fear of emotional retribution, of the encumberences of stabs at the heart of pure freedom. Be that height of enlightenment, or be nothing at all. Chuck, do you really care about communicating what's in your enormous head? Please, spoon-feed us lowly humans who are obviously unable to appreciate your expensively decorated proverbs. Because the only thing you seem capable of expressing lucidly with these abstract, romantic mutterings is arrogance and condescension derived from your own cloudy, esoteric ideals.

chuck kottke Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Dreamtime Chuck, do you really care about communicating what's in your enormous head? Please, spoon-feed us lowly humans who are obviously unable to appreciate your expensively decorated proverbs. Because the only thing you seem capable of expressing lucidly with these abstract, romantic mutterings is arrogance and condescension derived from your own cloudy, esoteric ideals. You are not, nor am I, nor are any of us are "lowly" in any manner of the word! We are all capable of many more things than we would dare admit even to ourselves. I'm just trying to get past the negativity that keeps us grounded, that's all. If only in dreams, if nowhere else, can we attain the higher plane. And speaking of expanding our ways of thinking, here's something I found interesting - Wade Davis talking about the Dreamtime of the aboriginal people in Australia - a way of thinking where there is no past, no present, no future - just a 'oneness'...
