All we will ever be?
Either the writer of Game of Thrones is a genius or he/she has a very vivid imagination mixed with a philosophical thinking that does not hold too much water. I am at a part in the series where a very profound statement has been made. I have just began to ponder it. I like thinking about things on my own first to see how valid points/philosophical statements are...but this one might take some time, time unfortunately I do not have a lot of lately. Getting some perspective here will certainly help.The statement: "Hopes and dreams, and loves and fears will all we will ever be." Is it possible if we boil down everything in our lives into the most simplest forms, does this statement hold validity?
These four essential life characteristics do all pertain to the self. That is for sure.
The part in the series has to do with teaching a young girl to be nobody.
Is it better to be somebody or nobody?
The reason why I ask, to be somebody, carries an ego attached. From things I have seen and heard in the past, your ego is not your amigo.

@ Johnny,
While I was reading your blog, I was also eating some Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, then I put it aside to write my first comment. After the comment, I went and picked up my bowl of Ice Cream, only to find it melted a little, and for some reason, I don't know why, but one of the chocolate chips in the ice cream was swimming around the bowl. Hmm, strange.
Are You Saying!
That Johnny And You Go Out On Dates?!
We go out with ladies, he takes two or more, I take one. That's all I can handle these days.
I found it interesting when you stated about the soul. As for being already important, important to who? That is the first question that popped in my head. I wonder, 200 years later, will we still be important? Anyway, I understand your point and it is very good. Also, I am very relieved to hear it is from not under the influence of meds.
I will be here for a short bit yet.
exactly! Important to who? Who cares who thinks I'm important or not. I have the confidence to know that I am important to myself and my world I live in. And if others can see that and sense it, then they might feel an attraction to want to talk to me or just feel that I'm okay to be around.
you know, I did a little tv show years ago. I was kind of important or famous locally, and it felt good for a while, but then later, it meant not much to me. It just became same ole, same ole. Instead, I focused on helping others, not necessarily to become important, but to become job ready to whatever they aspired to be.
Now, if they felt I was important after they moved up in the world, then I'll take that.
Anyways, you know what I mean. Life is too short for worrying about who thinks I'm important or not.
The best thing is to just help when I can, where I can and to be good to myself, those I care about and those in my lifetime.
I Have Moved Back Home.......
That's great that you asked a girl out. It's nerve racking inside, but you gotta be cool on the outside (yeah right, like if I know how to be cool, lol). But anyways, that's great! I hope everything works out for you with her.
I have to get up early tomorrow too. So, right now, it's time for me to log out and get some rest. Now, where did I put that spiked prune juice at?
Have a good night and fun tomorrow.
Yes! I Did Too.
I gave the other one up! And moved back.....
one more thing before I go for tonight. Getting back to subject of your blog. I'm going to be moving in the near future, but not sure yet, where I'll be moving to. I have some places I like and ideas, but not completely sure yet.
I don't know this comment has to do with your blog's subject, but just thought I'd mention it.
Again, have a good night.
I don't know WHAT this comment has to do with your blog's subject, but just thought I'd mention it.
But when I saw this video, for some reason I thought you would be interested in it, and possibly even blog about it
Very very interesting. Thanks very much for sharing it. Now, does one try and make sense out of it? What I mean by that, they say we are just consciousness...but where and how is that consciousness possible? Hmmmm. Now you got me thinking.
I think conversely that the impeccable of the imperative situation is that variables and degrees of constants and omnipresent inanimate objects may constrict the mind from perhaps insoluble fen propaganda and quantum physics of nature that we ourselves may not understand or comprehend beyond depths unknowingly to mankind.
You know what I mean?
I haven't read the comments but I think it is better to be nobody. It will take time to explain why. So will you figure out why please.
I watched the first couple of series, but I watch so little TV, I haven't continued.
But practically everybody I know is absolutely glued to it still, and say the current series is absolutely brilliant.
As for the vid I posted for you..don't overthink it.
I never overthink anything, I like being a fluffy cloud
You may be correct. I have a potential theory though. Molly's video points out another point...aside from the speculation that we are only consciousness. It also points out something about our thoughts. They ask a question. If we are in control of our thoughts, tell me what your next thought will be then. In other words, they are saying we are not in control of our thoughts.
So, to my somewhat crude theory as I try to break things down to the most conceivable simplistic forms...both consciousness and thoughts are a form of energy.
After reading some about the philosophy of astrology, the writer of that book theorizes that the stars....aka...suns in the galaxy/universe are giving off energy. He posed the question, what if this energy has some sort of intelligence to it.
If there is a connection between the universe and our being...if you will...there might be something to astrology.
I know...hogwash...about astrology.
But....is it really?
As I watch more of the show.... ....being nobody leaves you less vulnerable.
In the essence of the show, yes.
Sometimes....not saying this is happening with this show...but, sometimes messages are fed to the masses through shows. I remember as a child watching the Jetsons. What an inconceivable idea to be able to see the people as you are talking to them.
