This is my friend's mom. lol

hi dear db

db

I really like both those songs you guys!


How were your weekends? I had to work in the garden a little.

Age is a constuct, the conceit of mortals, especially the infinitesimally lived mortals, as such is us. A thousand year old entity would have to squint quite rigorously to distinguish the difference between a four year old and an eighty year old...

None of us can fathom what we are in the eyes of God.

Also, I really like the cadence of her delivery. Irishish???

No clue as to what the cadence is. Her daughter is one of those amazingly clear eyed people whose actions do match their words, someone you feel totally safe and comfortable around.

Perhaps we cannot fathom what we are in His eyes, but since we all supposedly are made in His image, can we fathom what He is by really and truly seeing each other? (Him/He used as default pronouns for the unknown)

Just as you described, in some people the divine reality is effortless to see, they just sort of exude the pure light, however conscious or unconsciously. Things make sense when you are in their presence. However, in most people- I find I can simply drive myself mad trying to fit them into the more holistic, full image of the creator- into the panorama of existential everythingness everywhere around and abound us, whatever it's ultimate nature may prove to be, without failing horrifically. I get that God is smarter than I am, that my skull is a hypostasis of the proverbial dunce cap, but I am not smart enough to approach understanding of what that means, ultimately.

I was just having this discussion with another friend, how when I learn things, I get to a point where I feel some confidence and then even more quickly realize how little I actually know. I guess it's just the way we humans approach knowledge? It also makes me wonder a lot about the collective consciousness - is there really such a thing as an original thought?



and apologies to you and the jb for talking too much. lol

For the first line of this song...

Hooray!!! You are back dear Antitech! You have been missed..a few nights ago we were even talking about it here on the thread.


Really good to see you!

Nobody originates them, we simply tap into the part of the existential condition of being that is greater than ourselves, and then appropriate the insight to our purposes, crowning ourselves as somehow more than the sum of our parts... A lot of the best songs, for example, I think would have existed independently of the artists that created them. The best that an artist hope for is to filter a universal idea or principle through their own unique fuck-up-edness as human beings. The pure white light filtered through an impure something... I think statistically the likelihood that we originated our own thoughts is rather small. Our minds are the product of experience, and the ideas laid down from sources we, ultimately, likely can't even know about. One of the least, and yet, paradoxically, comforting aspects of the collective unconscious as you described it is that none of us can ever understand it. The ones who do are in madhouses.

nice introduction

Heya Pooch, how things for you and yours this weekend?

pooch & anti hello

Beautiful song. Will have to finish listening later. It was the MUSIC that I had to step away from, until there was music in my heart again. I could almost cry. It feels so good to be back with my friends and the JB.

Don't know how long I was gone but it felt like this...
