A common myth floating around there is if you crack your knuckles, you’ll get arthritis. This is not true.
I also thought that it was a myth that people judge you on everything, but found that out to be true, as the most stupid things are the basis of people’s judgement

The biggest myth was when I was a kid. I had what I thought was an Aunt that was highly mentally retarded. She always made goofy faces and liked to comment in a weird grumbly voice. Of all of my cousins, I was the one that looked most like my “Aunt” —— so, I made fun of her. I imitated her goofiness. My Mom always said that my face would freeze in one of those goofy faces. My face never froze like that. However, as an adult, I found out my Aunt was my birth mother. Then, I took care of her and had her placed in a full care hospital. I bought her nice things and always visited her. One of the things I bought her was a very expensive jacket that she wore all of the time. When she died, I took back the jacket. I wear it. I look like her in it. When I catch a look at my reflection in a store window, or the car window, I give myself a goofy look and wave at my reflection. It is just as if my birth mother smiled and waved at me. It was a myth that my face would freeze like that, but the older I get, the more I look like her ——- goofy looks and all.
It is a myth that if you sleep with a cat that the cat will steal your breath in the night and kill you. Well, Nya, the three legged cat sleeps with us, because it is a safe place to sleep. Something ate one of her front legs off and she needs the safety of sleeping between us. She hasn’t stolen our breath, —– yet. But then, maybe she is still trying to decide whose breath to steal.
@ladybarbara
What if someone’s breath is it worth stealing??
(And if you sleep with your cat you could wake up coughing up hairballs!)
The myth of Cooties was very big back when I was in school! I guess it was presumed that you got to an age where you were immune to them
And I don’t think people judge you on everything. But they form their opinions based on the memorable stuff. Whether memorably brilliant or memorably stupid!
There’s a name for that. Give me a minute.
Oh that’s right! They call it “society”
(The only way people are not constantly evaluating who you are, is in isolation)
@griz *that* would be quasi-easy to arrange… if I wanted to be a prepper and permanently live off the land in some far off place away from civilization.
@Jear77
I dreamed of that. Hard. Even to the point of studying survival and primitive living techniques; and even picking a specific valley in the remote Northwest to build my cabin. I was disillusioned with the human race.
It was because of this I met the native Shaman who set my feet back on a good course again.
I’ve spent my time in wilderness. But without the rest of society one stagnates there. There are marvelous revelations of wisdom in nature and in solitude: but they are utterly worthless if you have no one to share them with. Any “treasures”, die with you.
The way it was explained to me, in “Shamanese” was that “the spirits” (the Spirit, in Christianese) would test everyone who came seeking wisdom in the temples of Creation. They would give you some and see what you did with it. If you kept it all to yourself little more would ever come.
You would only get more if you shared it back into society. And that meant you had to leave Wilderness to go do that.
“Life” . . . wants us to live and grow and share together in society. Cop-outs and hoarders come to little good.
But participators prosper.
@griz actually the point of doing such things as doomsday prepping is not solely for the purpose of doing them. And you’ve got it backwards, in a very real sense the reason why they do. The point of prepping to that extent is as a realization that people, outside this thin veneer called ‘society,’ are not to be trusted. All it would take is a solar pulse that would send out an EMP that would disrupt all but the most protected electronic systems. Or a terrorist attack on a power plant that provides power to a good chunk of the country. Or a weather system that knocks out power for more than a few days. And even THOSE protected systems might be vulnerable because someone might tap into it and drain the power because they feel the need to use it when the power needs to go elsewhere. The grid, where the vast majority of us get our electricity, is SUPER vulnerable and we are not even aware of how much we depend on it. Our entire lives as civilized people would go down the drain VERY quickly. It would be like a zombie apocalypse… without the zombies! Without electricity we couldn’t heat or cool our homes easily. A fireplace can do something, but most of us aren’t used to the intensive labor needed to chop wood to do it. We couldn’t keep food because our refrigerators wouldn’t work. Gas supplies would be limited because we couldn’t get it out of the ground. We couldn’t get water to our houses because the water system runs on piping the water. The pumps use electricity. People would start to panic. And in this panic, we would turn on each other, even to the point of being willing to kill each other in order to get what we need: food, water, shelter, warmth. The point is knowing how to defend one’s self, how to survive, how to “bug out” when (as the prepper’s say) “the shit hits the fan” — because at day’s end the only one in that type of emergency you can count on… is yourself. In such a system, in such a situation, you have to be willing to do what you must to survive… or die…
@jear77
Fear of the-evil-that-others-might-do is perhaps THE most exquisitely constructed ploy for robbing people of Life: and having them think themselves wise for feeding evil (and death) the power it needs to defeat them.
@griz I don’t prep and never plan on doing so in that manner. I was simply acknowledging their mindset. Having said that, it’s better to follow the boy scout’s motto of “be prepared.” Growing up, i always followed that up with the question “for what?” And the answer is “for life.” What this means is that you know and understand FEMA’s guidelines on disaster preparation & have a first aid kit assembled, a *few* days of medicine, food and water, a portable radio with extra batteries and/ or a hand crank to power it in case of emergency situations. It’s just like you wouldn’t go in a regular car on back roads during a snowstorm without blankets, water, a shovel, something to provide traction, and some food.
@Jear77
Such preparation and emergency kits are certainly a good idea. But they are little more than life support for someone suddenly stranded in a hostile environment (like one with no running water or flush toilets or garbage pickup!)
If for some reason the old way of life is not restored before supplies run out, the inevitable has just been delayed.
I was thinking more of the ability to face whatever new reality one might be forced to adapt to — and to survive if not thrive there.
It has to do with ruts and fatal rigidity vs adaptability. One sees variations on this every year over the loss or gaining of just one hour on the clock!
@griz The idea of “time saving” goes back to when we as a culture were trying to save daylight and thus electricity by getting up earlier. In today’s society such machinations are useless.
Adaptability is a useful thing, and even laudable in the right circumstances, but far better not to have to adapt to new situations that are worse off than what you faced before in the first place, and refuse to accept them by constantly placing yourself in a situations through understanding of the “big picture” where such contortions to survive is unnecessary.
@Jear77
Of limited use for the original purpose does not exclude it being of great use for other purposes. There is often much more at work, then what we most easily see in limit ourselves to seeing.
Like teaching us how to adapt to small changes so big ones don’t sideline us! All the data showing the number of people that have increased accidents in even die because they cannot adapt to a little 1 hour change would seem to reveal just how much we need this exercise as a society.
We gripe FOR WEEKS over losing then gaining 60 little minutes . . . and go to such LUDICROUS lengths to prove how terrible we are at adapting to such a piddly little thing as 1 hour. ( there was even an article for a while trying to up play how It confused dairy cows! Just take away the cow’s wrist watches and remove all the clocks from the barn silly!)
We are so stunned at times!
And most of us would not know “worse off” if it was marked in glowing neon letters 60 ft tall with a brass band thrown in for good measure. Increasingly, we measure things based entirely on changeable, short-term feelings of the moment.
We don’t like daylight savings time for example, because it’s exercise. So we downplay any possible value as a much-needed exercise in adaptability . . . while the media up plays the number of people having accidents or dying because they are so flabby they can’t deal with even the smallest amounts of exercise in this regard. (Oh, and let’s not forget those poor dairy cows! And the chickens too! Oh, the galliformery* of it all!)
* that’s a spin on “Oh, the humanity of it all” . . . But chickens are galliformes!
@griz there are times where “worse off” is plainly obvious. Hunger vs. Being Satiated. Disease vs. Perfect health. Addiction vs. Free from such chains. Unemployment vs. Gainfully employed. Deatb vs. Life. But according to your statements in the past, the more difficult path, the more onerous the task, the more exhausted we are from life’s problems, the more pain and heartache we can face, the better off we are for it.
And to that ideology, i must reject with every fiber of my being!
@Jear77
Since these things are going to happen, why not grow stronger from the “exercise”?
We CAN use them like this, as we realize more and more of our spiritual capabilities. But we can always (and it is the norm to) opt out of them and simply grow weaker from them. And we’re often not content with a passive weakening by the life challenges we face . . . there are no shortage of people showing us how to ACTIVELY use something from their past that is over-and-done . . . to CONTINUE weakening them and darkening their outlook to new depths of fear and pessimism.
As for us being aware of “worse off”, I would challenge that with the example you offer of addictions. We conveniently “narrow” the definition so it just applies to substance (and then perhaps to just some of the worst or infamous ones) and totally overlook our kicking one addiction to run headlong into another. Perhaps this time on of mindset or outlook or work or relationship.
We’re running from one “worst off” situation to one that is perhaps only marginally better . . . but better “concealed” from others or even from ourselves through what we think are clever networks of denying the same process is still at work in us . . . but just not involving “an addictive drug”. (The MJ arenas are FULL of this kind of foolish process of not recognizing an addiction just because it doesn’t give you physical shakes and tremors and illness.)
@griz the point is to avoid them altogether. Are you familiar with the “saw” franchise of horror movies? You’d say “embrace and grow from the fact that you’ve been kidnapped by a psychopath and learn from it!” Far better not to have been kidnapped by one that to face a death trap!
@Jear77
This is not the first time you’ve tried to trot out the “better the reality that didn’t happen” reasoning.
Or the “what about the horrors I’ve never had to face?”mindset.
Any thoughts on why you might be doing this?
No, I’ve not watched any of the “Saw” movies; and few horror movies either. Our entertainment is what we feel is our “just reward”, our “re-creation” after our hard work. I’ve never maintained that I should be rewarded by horror, or that it is what “recreates” me.
Think about this; and maybe you will find an important link to unlocking your own psychology.
@griz the idea in the saw movies is simply this: hurt yourself within X time frame (most of the time) OR hurt someone else (as in the 1st scene of the saw movie) or die. And what’s ironic is that the people who survived thought that it was a good learning experience (from an in-universe movie perspective).
@Jear77
Still; why do you feel you “deserve” to be horrified by entertaining such prospects?
Try as I might, I cannot perceive many good learning experiences in the survivors. Quite the opposite actually!
“The only way to survive is to hurt yourself or hurt others before time runs out”???
Yikes! What a horrific Prospect to entertain oneself with! Can you not make the link between consuming this and the darkening of your own disposition and outlook?
“Slippery slope fallacy” indeed! You don’t even recognize what is drawing you down.
@griz i don’t think got the irony/ satire. You say that at day’s end, it’s a far better thing to have suffered tragedy, loss, pain, heartache. The traps in the movie were an attempt to show the victims where they erred morally. Unfortunately, others ended up getting killed instead of the intended victims at times… because at day’s end, they were designed to be death traps. Keep in mind that none of the victims in the saw movie franchise were “innocent” – far from it! But the “justice” was not Jigsaw’s to carry out (hence the “saw” titles).
And if you truly knew me as you claim to, you would also know that i really never saw the movies in question. You’d understand why I really don’t like horror movies all that much, as they tend to give me nightmares. I only read about them, and saw only bits and pieces of the traps in animated GIFs online while doing research on my RPG articles.
@Jear77
What I am saying is that living in fear, in reacting in fear and stoking fear is no way to live.
There are Spiritual paths where one does not have to constantly live in fear; and one can be free to see that hardships actually do make one stronger. Provided one is not living in fear.
Imagine a lifestyle where one does not yearn for hardship: but one also does not shy away from it when it happens. Imagine a world where you can meet reality as it happens with a kind of energy and anticipation of overcoming them .
. . And not with an outlook sabotaged by entertaining too many dark and disastrous scenarios based on the fears of what might happen.
@griz Once again, the “worst” that can happen to me is physical death. We all ‘know’ we’re mortal. know we’re going to die one day and in order to cope with that knowledge, we distract ourselves with this world and cover up the fact that we’re (or at least our physical self are) rotting corpses waiting to be. And in one sense it’s OK. On the other hand to live and say “I know I’m going to die, but I will store up rewards… for sometime after death” makes little sense. Storing up should have something that we can experience. If you have a storage unit, and every month, buy something and add it to the storage unit, it will become full eventually if you take nothing out. No so with these types of rewards. If you have a bank account and are squirreling away your savings you can see it sitting there. Not so with these types of rewards. It’s like an employer promising you pay… and telling you that you will get your money after you die. Would you work for such an employer? No!
When death, not if it happens (for we are all mortal), it’s nothing to shrink away from the physical release from our bodies to nonexistence/ nothingness. And the fact that we existed in the first place makes our existence all that much more special. If asked, the typical person would site not the fact that they are mortal, but the *physical pain* LEADING to death, is what people fear, and thus the problem(s). associated with it.
@Jear77
I would assert that there are worse kinds of death than you are currently allowing yourself to see. Ones that take over our minds and our spirit even while we are still in the fullness of physical life. They make us fearful and hesitant, forever blocked from becoming all that we can truly be.
You key in again on the religious thinking of “later rewards”. I’ve shared time and time again about the rewards in my own life of this path that are so sufficient I will die totally fulfilled, content and full of peace even if there is nothing else after this. ( with some beliefs asserting that this is exactly what is needed to achieve sufficient transition energy for whatever may come next).
And if nothing comes next, my corpse will be smiling much bigger than your corpse!
@griz Because you live in the land of retrospect! An omniscient being should not need prayer, worship. It seems… desperate on such a being’s part to need such. ALSO Why should such a being feel the need to make us mortal? Makes no sense and never will. Sorry.
@Jear77
Maybe we needed more than God does?
If our “point of worship” is far greater than self, the pitfall of holding our own imperfect perceptions as our “highest god” . . . is easily sidestepped.
This is the pitfall that now has you by the balls.
@griz the point of it is mythology of a god whose only way is through a relationship the methodology is described in a book, who billions upon billions of people will never have a chance to read either through it, and even those who read through it are not guaranteed understanding, is problematic to say the least. In other religions (not that I believe in them either) there’s the idea of “well, you don’t get it right, oh well, you get recycled, and try again). I know it’s said in christian circles “oh, god may be merciful” but it’s not guaranteed. At day’s end I see it as nothing but “waste” -which is the ONE thing that triggers me over EVERYTHING ELSE in the world because I have learned to live by the maxim “waste not, want not.” And if i have wasted, it’s most often due to circumstances outside my control. But the god of the bible wastes constantly, and at a level that baffles the imagination. He’s destroyed entire cities. Those cities were filled with all sorts of things in terms of material things: the cities were destroyed could have been shown to be cultural wonders and had their artwork in museums. We’re lucky we still have what we do – that the famous cultural icons haven’t disappeared due to the ravages of time. The workmanship to build the cities, the food, the furniture, the lives. A common thing even though my parents didn’t do it as such, was a thing of “well that which you don’t want to eat, a starving person in Africa would kill for.” Take EVERYTHING that was destroyed, could have been reused, repurposed, recycled, upcycled. Unfortunately, lives are not such a thing, at least not in this world we live in. And the people to be punished for all eternity… no. Just no.
@Jear77
I’ve talked before about the difference between dead words written on paper and the Living Spirit Beyond them — that inspired in them and is committed to working through them for those who can see; who want to see it more . . . Then they just want to see themselves.
You are caught up in the dead words written on paper. And unless your heart is changed, this is all you will ever see: because you can very easily make them subjected to you.
@griz no matter what the waste will still remain at epic levels. It’d be different if the waste was and we could simply speak things into existence, i.e. you see a person (or even yourself) in need and speak into existence the solution instantaneously. But since we can’t, that’s something I will never be able to get over.
@Jear77
The only thing that is instantaneous is the rendering of the Temple (our heart) as a fit place for the Holy Spirit to dwell; to begin fellowship and instruction.
From then on it is a process, and a very organic one, that is lovingly tailored to each individual.
But I would observe that when you found the the city map that told we’re all the ordinances were written, you found only the dead words of religion and not the living Author that wrote them. You “knew him not” (see the parable of the sheep and the goats).
Know the author, and you will know the rules. Love the author, and the rules will start to come as second nature. Or more accurately put, your new first nature. (The “renewing of the heart”)
Religion failed you. Your own process of trying to hold to written laws unto salvation failed you. And the path you are undertaking now will fare no better.
Aren’t you ready for something different? Right now you are just fleeing from one religious undertaking into another.
@griz yes, but, one in which where I make the rules. I’m setting that up for me to happen, outside of any exterior influences.
But also keep in mind that to be able to to so would be “greater things than I have done, you will do”
Since it’s not… I see it as an invalidation of that promise.
@Jear77
These greater things will be done only in Christ’s name not Jear’s.
And that perhaps is the very core of your derail. You said “the magic words” asking Christ into your heart; but then you’ve been exceedingly stubborn about it having to play out the way that you wanted it to.
I’ve asked you repeatedly if Christ Spirit was ever involved in your process .You’ve changed the subject.
So go your own way if you must. But don’t try to pretend this is about God’s stubbornness or lack of commitment to you.
@griz the root of the problem is that imprecise, loose language can be interpreted in any way… which is one of the reasons we are still able to have discussions about it to this day.
There’s an episode of star trek tng about a race of xenophobic aliens that turned what should have been a cut and dry document that basically says stay away from us and we won’t give tou problems into one thousands of pages long. Similarly, If god wants followers its hy writ needs to be a document by which it’s impossible for there to be any mistakes, misunderstandings, or wiggle room. (Sarcasm) Oh, yeah, that’s right it does spell things out. It shows that belief ultimately does no good, as no matter what we’re still mortal! The figures contained in its text had just as many problems as we have today, if not more due to the fact that they had less technologies. It showed that even the greatest figures of the faith are as grasping, conniving, and selfish as those who didn’t have the benefit of god in their lives. It showcases the wholesale slaughter of entire nations – not only the people, but many times the materials they produced – and never an attempt at negotiations. So no! I am not interested.
@jear77
The root of the problem is that you always approached Scripture without the benefit of the Holy Spirit. The author is the best interpreter, bar none.
Eventually you will need to accept that there was no spiritual aspect to your salvation. But that aside for now.
The beauty of how the Scriptures are written is that however one CHOOSES to understand them determines what one gets out of them. Try to understand them just in the flesh and all you get is religion and dead words written on paper: frustration, anger, failure.
Countless are the verses that speak of the importance of the Holy Spirit. Without it, worship is just a game of emotions and feelings.
Without it, the Bible might as well just be a recipe book. And I can understand that you are pissed that your souffle flopped
All of the clues are there to start fellowship with the Holy Spirit. From this fellowship one learns how to pray properly, the purpose of true worship, and a growing set of keys for understanding the spirit of what has been written.
This process is essential for God’s children to move into the role that has been set aside for them.
Those who go looking for a recipe, set of rules, an equation, a religion that gives them control over God, glory for themselves (including a worship of their own stubborn pickiness), invalidate and exclude themselves.
The true path is there. Finding and following it is unnecessary part of our further education. And it has been made so simple that those who fail to find it will have no excuse.
@griz That’s like saying you need Sir Arthur Connon Doyle (just as deceased as the person of Jesus) to understand Sherlock Holmes! I reject that premise.
And ironically enough, going to the bible’s own text, doesn’t it command you NOT to talk with the dead? Isn’t that EXACTLY what your so called relationship with life is, as the very PERSON you are supposed to be having the conversation with through prayer?!
@Jear77
A novel is not a spiritual text. It’s only purpose is to entertain the flesh. One gets carried away in the story and experiences emotions and feelings. You play your games and you get emotions and feelings. You watch the news and you get emotions and feelings. This is all of the flesh.
The Spirit of God is something entirely different. You tried to play games with it and it didn’t work. Religious games that you thought would put you in control.
And by doing this you rejected God from day one. You do A LOT of rejecting my friend. you reject anything that does not put you in control.
So you thought you were inviting a dead person into your heart on that day???
And you wonder why your souffle flopped!!
@griz I realized it was true afterwards I thought it to be a christian, but in the strictest of senses, it is true. A reanimated corpse in today’s lingo would be some sort of undead — a zombie, reanimated mummy, vampire (this is my body, this is my blood anyone?). or lich!
The adherents of life as you call it/ Christianity have the same, and oftentimes MANY, MANY more problems, and these problems don’t even begin to show in THIS life. They EVEN continue into the NEXT according to the bible where parents and children will be separated on the basis of belief. Husbands and wives will face different eternities. Best friends who shared everything will never see each other again. And with a system, unless god wipes the mind of literally everyone in heaven, an eternity in heaven will be a VERY sorrowful place, with CONSTANT weeping. Eternity wouldn’t be long enough to stand the loss.
Your analogy completely breaks down when you look at every other world religion, and the relationship with the founders, as to how its adherents follow the precepts of literally every other world religion. If not, a Buddhist would have to have a relationship with the spirit of Buddha (uhm… I’m not even quite sure if that makes sense… as I don’t recall if the founder was an actual man or a myth, or a man whose actions were exaggerated as what seems to be the case with Christ from a literary standpoint…)
@Jear77
There are clues that something else entirely was at work. A corpse begins to decay and stink quite quickly. Check out what prophecy and alleged first-hand account say about post-resurrection Jesus. It is unlikely that three-day-old reanimated corpse could be mistaken for a gardener!
When all of God’s children are united as One in his Spirit the terminology of divided temporal relationship (parent, child, spouse, friend) will have no meaning and apparently will not be missed. How can one miss or be absent from something that is forever an Intimate part of them?!
The Buddha never claimed to be “The One”, but simply a seeker after it. This falls in line with many other religions, where the founder is a prophet, messenger, or divinely-appointed speaker. Most of them did not see themselves as “The One” and did not allow worship of their person.
Then there is the classification of religions where the founder did claim to be “The Deity” and worthy of worship. Most of them or never heard from again after their physical death, leaving their followers as worshipers of death.
The very few that mythology alleges did return (mummies, zombies), returned as something tainted by, and more intimate with death than with Life.
Jesus remains unique; in form and in alleged spiritual function.
It seems there are some things that the deceiver is not allowed to mimic.
@griz You know in (basically) all the tales of vampires (and such entities around the world) such mythological creatures never rot either…
And there’s a few things. If you look at the Roman soldiers… Someone who they arrested whispers “I am” and are struck with utter terror should have fled for their lives. So there would have been literally no one to arrest Jesus… AND the VERY first thing he should have done after his resurrection is appear to the authorities who killed him. “Guess what!” (with a sadistic grin) “I’m back… and you can’t kill me again, as I’ve already been punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
@Jear77
You are reaching on that one my friend! Many accounts of vampires at least, talk about the smell of death being about them; and their starting to decay if they miss a feeding; and turning to dust if exposed to sunlight (the ultimate end product of decomposition).
I am not sure where you are getting one of Jesus’ rare utterances of his deity as being a whisper?
And while “haunting” those who crucified him might appeal to the flesh (the ego), there was no spiritual purpose in it.
Also; do you forget that Jesus pronounced forgiveness upon those who crucified him? Any kind of “payback” would be invalidating this.
@griz Depending on the mythology.
But, it wouldn’t be payback or the flesh. It would be simply a statements of fact. These don’t qualify as negation of forgiveness, especially if the motive were information only, something on the order of “You know, you crucified me? I’m in the neighborhood, and just was wanting to let you know, I’m alive again. But no harm, you’re forgiven, and healed of all infirmities, diseases, and maladies to boot.” You’d have scribes furiously taking notes as to what took place. And you would have a historical record of a person who the roman guards were guarding escape their custody, because I doubt that their orders included RE-killing a person who was in the tomb, or who was walking around after having been crucified.
@jear77
– regarding Jesus haunting the religious leaders with the statement of facts:
I said before the truth without love is just brutality. Ask yourself what the core “spirit” would be of delivering such truth in this way? Think about intent; purpose; effect. It would be all about feelings for the flesh; in trying to force a change in the religious leaders that they obviously had no interest in. Meaning it was contrary to God’s Spirit.
Plus there is a good chance it would have met the execution of the guards that were supposed to be guarding the tomb.
It would be nice if they kept historical records like we do today. But they didn’t. And even if they did, it’s doubtful that such a perceived screw-up would be recorded. It would be contrary to the image the Romans wanted to maintain of their military.
Chances are good it happened exactly the way it was supposed to. We can imagine embellishments but they probably would not have had the intended effect.
@griz uhm… who are you, being a smiling corpse?? A victim of the Joker’s laughing gas?
@Jear77
It will be my final physical “footstep”: leaving people to wonder what I knew that they don’t!
@griz it happens to everyone. Are you familiar with the concept of “rigor mortis?”
Here’s a couple of active myths for consideration.
1. The myth of personal isolation. I meet so many people who feel isolated inside themselves, and attribute it to all kinds of external factors beyond their control. The truth is you are only as isolated as you want to be. Fear is what perpetrates the myth.
Self confidence, strength of character, and the ability “to let people be the people they choose to be” are the cure.
2. The little person can do nothing.
There are countless examples in both American and world history, of veritable” nobody”s who affected considerable positive change on the greater whole.
Again, they were generally quiet people of good and strong character, who knew how to persevere, and were not stopped by fear.
isnt there one about if you die in your dream you will die in your body too? was that from a bad movie? or what? i dont remember, but i have died in dreams and ‘woken’ into a next level of dream, another life maybe? and im pretty sure im still kickin and breathing…
