"Remember to Forget"

Migrated topic.

RUN DMT
Well the title is a meaningless phrase that I've scribbled down almost without will for as long as I can remember. I dont know why or how this was repeated to many times, but now I do know what it means after a rather disturbing syncronicity in which it bounced out at me from every page and every scrap of paper I ever wrote it on.

If one is brave or foolish enough to consume that which they know will destroy the very sense of themselves and do so smilling with vigorous disregard to everything and everyone they've ever know and loved.. completely and utterly give themselves over to it... then the bargan might just be met, fulfilled and perhaps even burdened upon said truth seeker.

If knowledge is indeed power.. I'll gladly return my thumbs then slither back into the primordial soup and disassemble into nothing more than the amino acids that bubble around the suface waiting for the spark.

Its too much in the sense that its knowing the ultimate truth. Its not enough in the sense that its knowing everything and everything is all that there is, with nothing else outside of everything. I dont want to be a part of that, it scares me.
I feel sorry for God and for any unsuspecting microbe of a man thats had the chance to peer through its eyes.

Lets imagine you were for a second. You were God, the conscious force that binds existance itself. The sole creator and knower of everything in every dimension in the universe. How could you bare to look at it knowing it was just a reflection of yourself? Nothing would have meaning... unless there was a way to hide the truth from yourself, a way to forget.

The compound "the light" is the very thing that illuminates the strings and ruins the illusion.

Be careful
Remember to forget.. but keep in mind that whatever lies beyond is pue love, dont forget the love.




(As a practical joke of sorts, that very phrase has become the thing that constantly reminds me of it)
 
Beyond ignorance, prior to knowledge....
Not in some static state, but in continual evolution: beauty, the true magic of existence lies in discovery.

I like the idea about the woes of being god. Reminds me of this:
Sri Aurobindo said:
What then was the commencement of the whole matter? Existence that multiplied itself for sheer delight of being and plunged into numberless trillions of forms so that it might find itself innumerably.
 
Like I said.. the title is meaningless, infact its paradoxical even trying to apply it. How can you remember to forget something, even the act of saying it forces you to remember the thing you dont want too, but thats not what this was about.
That paticular experience linked itself to the words, before there was nothing to forget.

How can everything be endless? Everything has limits, by definition its finite. Think about it.

Would there be any novelty in being God? Thats what scares me. Just now I dont know what lies before me, life is one big novelty wave and I like it that way... I dont want to know everything.
Is this why life exists? to bring the novel back to this thing. I really hope so...

And he got it from Nietzsche.

Try checking out my site in my sig.

When I read the OP I was thinking Jim Morrison the whole time. I've been really enjoying the site in your sig btw.

Thank you very much; shoot me a PM if you have anything to say about it.

It's not meaningless, far from it. "I must remember to forget what I remembered that once was forgotten," is my version of it. ;)
 
If you remembered to forget something and were successful at forgetting it, you have to also forget the fact that you remembered to forget. So you'd have to remember to forget and then forget that you remembered.

Hot damn.
 
hahaha tiz a head pickler even without the psychedelic tom foolery that is the shroom/spice combo.

there may just simply be no god.

Semantics. The sheer amount of people throwing around the term "God" has rendered it utterly meaningless a term save for those of wisdom who know what they are talking about.

Let's start with the basics, do you exist? If you do, then we've pretty much ascertained there is a "god". If you say no, then I exist, and again, it's ascertained that there is a "god". If both of us assume that there is no "god" then we'll eventually pass off this planet while "god" has the last laugh as he carries on creating everything without batting an eyelid.

The idea that we are separate from this "god" chap is the reason that there is so much confusion about.

That's a good point. Most main stream religions and spiritual teachings define a totally separate entity that is "God" and then define us as separate from this God. I have never thought this and I have a feeling that this idea is just an artifact of the human experience and our interpretations of the world.

We (the human race in general) seek to categorize everything. We place everything in a separate box until we dissociate it from everything around it. Then the only things left visible are the differences. We cease to see the connections anymore.
