We are limited by how our senses perceive the energy around us, and by how our brains make sense of the information they are bringing in. Which is why if you study science deeply enough, it doesn't make sense, because it doesn't care to make sense. It doesn't need to make sense, and it's not supposed to.
In short, when we are masters of the universe, we will get to a higher level of understanding, at which point "what we're actually going towards" will be much more clear, if not completely understood.
And the fact that we know nothing now, doesn't mean everything you know is flawed, it just means that we have a really long way to go.
Ultimately, if you enjoy your life and do what you feel is right, everything will take care of itself.
Again, you are not alive, but it is life that is in you. And the drive is independent of humans.
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, it was beautiful, magical And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully, watching me But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical There are times when all the world's asleep The questions run too deep for such a simple man Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am
I said now, watch what you say, now we're calling you a radical, a liberal, fanatical, criminal Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable
But at night, when all the world's asleep The questions run so deep for such a simple man Won't you please (Won't you tell me), (You can tell me what) please tell me what we've learned (Can you hear me?) I know it sounds absurd, (Won't you help me) please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
I can't see the word "oneness" without being reminded of TimeCube.

For some reason, I thought the last page was the newest. Oops.
Do you ever have one of those moments where you become aware of one of your own little linguistic quirks?
One of mine is the word "person".
"I'm an awakeperson again."
"I wish Anonus was a here-person instead of a far-away-person."
"I can't find what we're looking for, let's ask the store-person."
Weird.
On a similar line of thinking, I often remember how a lot of my earlier posts here ended every other sentence with "though." Some of them still do, actually.
Unconscious by nature describes something that is dead and stagnant. The present and motion drag us and our senses forwards. Constantly right here and now.
The reason for mental illness is the belief and indoctrination of ppl to believe ego as valid and to not understand the conventions of speech.

I'm glad to hear that, Lee. Are you getting enough to eat lately?
Also, I was just thinking about something daydream-related that made me sympathize with CA a bit.
I think I may be eating a bit too much, actually, but I've been worried about money a lot recently. :P
Also, I'm trying to get Wine to build, and I'm not sure whose fault it is (Wine's or Debian), but you practically have to have an entire 32-bit build of X11 alongside Debian's packages in somewhere off the beaten path just to get it to build on AMD64 without having to use utter horrible bullshit like chroot or VirtualBox. Good Christ. It's seriously just easier to build the fucking thing on a 32-bit machine, then copy the whole fucking tree over.

Ah. Sorry to hear that.
I've been eating a bit junkier than usual myself. I'm not adjusting as well to this new semester of school as I'd hoped.

CA: Well, earlier I was thinking about how I still have daydreams of making friends and having adventures with magical dragons. I felt a little... I can't find the right word. Guilty, I guess, because no one would like having a socially underdeveloped 20 and a half year old as part of that kind of story.
If I recall correctly, you've expressed similar thoughts before. Not quite the same, though.
I visited my college-bound sister today. She's getting initiated into the same sorority as my mom soon so we all took a trip to see her and deliver gold, frankincense and Forever 21.
ProfessorGator, I'm not adjusting as well to this new semester of school as I'd hoped. If it is okay for me to ask, is anything in particular bugging you or is it more just general malaise?

Ah, I know the feeling well. As my posts over the past couple days demonstrate, I still fantasize about becoming a magical pony princess and flying around having adventures.
It's kinda funny, in a way...almost all my friends seem to express feelings like these, one way or another. It's like we collectively just never grew up.

There's several things specifically. I haven't seen most of my friends much at all lately. They're still happy to see me whenever we pass by each other, so that's good. But I'm worried that I won't find a way to see them regularly again.
I'm also still mad about how my meal plan accidentally got deleted. I've been eating out at McDonald's, Moe's, Wendy's, and a place that's essentially a more expensive but higher quality Subway most of the time. I'm a little worried that I'll start to run low on certain nutrients or run out of money.
And I'm nervous about Cell Biology. I think I've been participating in class pretty well, but I'm not grasping the material as well as I want to. I'm also worried about the lab work and if I'm cut out for it.

Do you at least have some place where you can buy some basic groceries? I am not sure how college campuses are with kitchens and stuff, but maybe investing in something like a mini-fridge might be worth it to be able to have some essential things.
I wish I knew more about Cell Biology and could help you there. People tell me that going in during professors' office hours can be really helpful in those kinds of situations though.
By the way, did you ever work out that elective issue you mentioned a while ago?

I do hope they keep the "COLUMBUS METROPOLITAN LIBRARY – MCMXC" inscription on the existing building. It was cool to have my birth year on a huge library.

I don't live on campus. What happened was I had about $90 worth of meals left over from last semester. Normally they carry over from fall to spring, but apparently the end date was set to the end of fall semester. That's how they got cleared out.
The office hours visit is a good idea. I might consider doing that if things get too worrying.
Also, I was thinking about texting some of my friends to see if they'd be free sometime next week, but I'm worried that might be too intrusive. Plus I have no clue what exactly to say.

That still sounds frustrating. I hope this does not sound like a super dumb question, but is cooking/packing a lunch an option?

Maybe you could try something a bit less intrusive (like email or something) if you are a little anxious about texting. If they are really your friends though, I feel like they should understand. In any event, good luck in arranging something with them.

On days where classes start later, it might be. I'll see what I can do.
I should probably get to bed now. Thanks again, Louie.
Also, apparently Columbus is like the 15th largest city in the US while Raleigh is somewhere near 42 and Denver's probably somewhere in between the two.

K break time, how are we doing so far?
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully, watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am
I said now, watch what you say, now we're calling you a radical, a liberal, fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep for such a simple man
Won't you please (Won't you tell me), (You can tell me what) please tell me what we've learned (Can you hear me?)
I know it sounds absurd, (Won't you help me) please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
But I'm thinking so logical
Did you call, one two three four
It's getting unbelievable

The reason for mental illness is the belief and indoctrination of ppl to believe ego as valid and to not understand the conventions of speech.
Self implies other. Yes implies no. Question implies answer. Unconscious implies conscious.
So when you start playing with ppls stories and being extremely dishonest about how we experience reality which is what psychology does.
You create rampant mental illness.
Psychology is a farce for pharmaceutical companies nothing more. It is not based on our knowledge of what is.
