Waking Life :
dream is destiny - becoming a dream figure in another person's dream is self awareness - stay in a constant state of departure, while always arriving - the richness of life is sometimes due to being slightly out of tune - don't look to the right - look to the right - it's our decision who we are - creation seems to come out of imperfection - the new evolutionary paradigm, based on digital and analog information, will give us the human traits of truth, loyalty, justice and freedom - man wants/needs chaos - the quest is to be liberated from the negative - to say yes to one instance is to say yes to all of existence - noise and silence - no matter how empty the world seems, no matter how degraded and used up the world appears, we know that anything is still possible, and given the right circumstances, a new world is just as likely as the old one - there are two kinds of sufferers in this world: those who suffer from a lack of life, and those who suffer from an overabundance of life - which is the most universal human characteristic? a) fear b) laziness - a well armed populace is the best defense against tyranny - a single ego is an absurdly narrow vantage from which to view this existence - there is no difference between dreaming a perception and action, and the waking perception and action - the worst mistake you can make is to think you are alive - everything is layers, there's the holy moment, and then there's the awareness of trying to have the holy moment - if the world that we are forced to accept is false and nothing is true, then everything is possible - on the way to discovering what we love, we will find everything we hate, everything that blocks our path of what we desire - live as if something actually depended on one's actions - rupture the spell of the ideology of the commodified consumer society that are the repressed desires of a more authentic nature and come forward - to immerse ourselves in the oblivion of actions. now we're making it happen - exchange love and hate, life and death, terror and redemption, repulsion and attraction - affirmation of freedom so reckless and unqualified that it amounts to a total denial of every kind of restraint or limitation
