Are you sad Mr Edward scissor hands..nope as I have a doggy friend..
HOW DO YOU SEE YOURSELF TRUTHFULLY - Take a deeper Look in your mirror!..to fulfill your dreams...
Sorry bout the dirty washing lounging around through the bedroom mirror but that's my life for yah and general living of most men these days I'd guarantee you that, and the dust bag on the vacuum cleaner hasn't been emptied in a month, the dishes are in the dishwasher.. benches are clean but Oh no ones bothering to put the damn thing on, think I'm the only one who thinks to push the button to wash cycle these days or the rest of the house would sit there for the next few months till the cupboards were bare of any eating utensils or anything clean to eat off even, that's for real, cos I am real & just human.
But I have a dream to fulfill as I'm going somewhere.
Dont worry, I'm not out to proelytize you to my own 'Starseed' thought notions traditions..
You can be a successful human on this planet and not care less abot religion even, and you certainly can believe in anything from evolution,with or without the power of this so called Source or Higher presence in my eyes,and still make a go of it in this mad world Matrix hologram..
But the real questions I'm asking on this post are..
Who actually do you think that you really are asa human being?.
To what end do you think you were born on this planet?
Where do your dreams come from?
What hope do you have for seeing those dreams come true?
Is it all a great coincidence, a genetic Joke, an un-knowable mystery, a brainwashing mind trip or was there a purpose to your creation?
My response to these questions in simple terms right off the top of my head to - 'How do I see myself?" would likely go something like this... with a tongue in cheek comic reply:
"Umm well lets see I'm sixty percent water, that's enough to fill a small bathtub, most of the rest is fat, enough to make at least four to five bars of soap possibly,and a variety of common chemicals.
I am enough calcium to make a large piece of chalk for a blackboard, enough phosphorus to light a small pack of matches, enough sodium to season a bag of microwave popcorn, enough magnesium to set off a flashbulb, enough copper to make a window's mite, enough iodine to make a child jump up and down in pain, enough iron to make a roofing nail, enough sulphur to rid a dog of fleas,.
All in all I figure in the current recession I am about $2.78cents worth of water, fat, and chemicals"
But if I really thought about it a bit more in depth, or with a how many times do you think for yourself outside the box of others words, others notions, say propelling itself on its own natural impulses... that exhaust your mind long before their velocity had taken into account and boiling over into dissonance, and one time your own thinking perhaps... one of most fully-realised encompassing a very real sense of being real... stranded in the present of having nowhere to go but the most internal of detours to ones core self with some time reply...
I'd most likely respond with a more Technical explanation like:
I am a self balancing, twenty-eight jointed adapter-base biped,an electrochemical processing plant with integrated and separate facilities for maintaining energy in storage batteries for the subsequent powering of thousands of hydraulic and pneumatic pumps, each with their own motors attached, sixty-two thousand miles of small blood vessels, millions of warning-signal devices, rail roads, and conveyor systems, plus crushers and cranes,a widely distributed telephone system needing no service for seventy years at least if well maintained, all guided from a turret in which are located telescopes, microscopic , self-registering range finders, a spectroscope, et cetera..
Then ask again in another hour and from a more Psychological view point I'd likely say:
I am a series of learned responses to my environment, much like a dog is..I am trained by forces beyond my control to salivate on cue. I can neither 'initiate action nor make spontaneous or capricious changes' everything is conditioned, choice is an illusion, dreams are self-deceit.
How did those responses make you feel? -now stand in front of a mirror somewhere, look yourself directly in the eye, and ask yourself the question:
'How do I see myself'
Do you see yourself as a pile of chemicals or an elaborate machine set on automatic pilot or an organism trained to salivate on cue?
If you do - and I don't believe it for a moment - there isn't much future for $2.78cents worth of water, fat, and magnesium.
But I challenge you to think on your own not taking anything from others indoctrinated input and let me know the outcome, it's indeed so potent and very powerful and takes some real deep soul searching effort..
A machine doesn't have a heart, a mind, or a conscience.
My dog was the best friend I ever had in my entire life if I'm to be honest, moreso than any human being as she was loyal, trusting & unconditional loving and she may have dreamed, but she had no way of seeing that her dreams may come true...as she also could not relay them back to me for any understanding..but yes she dreamed alright and they are big dreams..boy did she run in those dreams her little legs were moving fast and she barked too..good fun was being had obviously bless her wee soul may she rest in peace and keep running in the ether realms..
Don't you believe in your heart that you are more than all these answers in thoughts put together?
That's why I love the richness of all that is of beauty on this planet moreso when I'm out in natures painted pallet itself I was sent to experience it, cos Gaia also is not just another planet whirling around the sun on it's own journey through infinite space, she is a living creation a artist in her own right and this Im grateful is my home.
And we are all meant to find sustenance and happiness from this planet as our home, cos Gaia provides them for us, so in return we share the privilege and responsibility of caring for her and each of our family members upon her also so she keeps on creating the beautiful visual aesthetics for our soul to enjoy.
And on this magical planet we were created to be able to dream too... worlds within worlds upon it & off it...
A saying that a great philosopher and poet Henry David Thoreau in his book:- 'Walden', a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings or, Life in the Woods , that stuck in my head from Uni years back where he said :
"Dreams are the touchstones of our character"...
Its then that one realised that your dreams determine who you are and what you care about . Plus add to that the size of them determines the size of your soul..
And so now I understand for many how difficult it may be for you to dare to dream, maybe you've inherited a bitter legacy, you may have been abused or molested as a child. You may have grown up in poverty or debt, pain or disability, You may be carrying the scars of lost battles and broken dreams. Nevertheless, as the old saying goes, it's never too late to dream, If you're too afraid or too wounded to have big dreams right now, dream little ones instead.
"I have learned" - Thoreau also said in this book:
"That if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with the success unexpected in common hours"
So I say do as I do.. forgive the past it cant be changed so let it go...
don't hold onto it any more and dream in black and white, for the future...
How do you see yourself truthfully?...
Without dreams for yourself?
On your home this planet you reside upon?...
let me know your thoughts on this who do you think you really are?...

But did one actually learn anything from the video or what was said on the blog itself?.. as its totally relevant.. its Alan Watts speaking on dreams & how they effect your reality in the eternal now ..the principle tat tvam asi, “that art thou,” meaning that the Self is the basis of all being. And being is not something into which we come, but out of which we proceed. In popular language we say “I came into this world,” as if you came from somewhere else altogether; from outside. But you don’t. You come out of this world just in the same way as the leaves come from the tree. And so, in that way, you are an expression of it, and the Self—meaning itself, Self meaning identity, Self meaning basis, ground—is what everybody fundamentally is.
the music (video) also are great..
