I read in a 'pyschic' mag that 'there's no such thing as coincidence' so I took that to mean everything I could relate to ... as a sign specially for me? Pyschic and pyschotic ...are they one and the same? I still don't know....Lucky1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00052133649762733067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16268336.post-7950307395455921632008-02-04T06:42:00.000+02:002008-02-04T06:42:00.000+02:00Wow!I was reading the comments from one of your po...Wow!<BR/><BR/>I was reading the comments from one of your posts titled Depression versus Unhappiness. z0tl was saying how you, BPG, should sit with a teacher who offers dokusan (in soto) / sanzen (rinzai). So I decided to do a search on "zen meditation" in my area. I found their website, and every month they have a movie night. Guess what they're playing this month!<BR/><BR/>Yup, The Truman Show!!<BR/><BR/>I think I will try to join them. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16268336.post-71258557135140958592007-09-26T01:36:00.000+02:002007-09-26T01:36:00.000+02:00I like this Buddhist t-shirt that I saw the other ...I like this Buddhist t-shirt that I saw the other day that said, "I think, therefore I meditate." :) <BR/><BR/>The Truman Show freaks me out to. It's what I feel like everyday.

I was tremendously disappointed by the simplicity of the sequels, however.<BR/><BR/>BPG, having read your take on the Truman Show and its mirroring of psychosis now I'm all curious about how you would interpret Bruce Almighty, not to mention Man on the Moon, The Mask, Liar Liar, Me, Myself and Irene or any other of the psychiatrically informed Jim Carrey films. :-)kodeureumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453446422688765648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16268336.post-67130455929064887222007-09-22T13:49:00.000+02:002007-09-22T13:49:00.000+02:00i have no time to check out the entire blog right ...i have no time to check out the entire blog right now, but im extremely intrested in these matters... i've been especially researching on neurosis, lately... this is really informative, in a human way, too...<BR/>i'll see it all when i get back, i hope...<BR/><BR/>check out my blog, you might find something you like in there!<BR/><BR/>best wishes!Desolation Rowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297262076108680333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16268336.post-44600280794192552572007-09-22T11:48:00.000+02:002007-09-22T11:48:00.000+02:00Great post and you should have tons of comments ab...Great post and you should have tons of comments about it. I remember feeling like my eyes were truly open the first time that I watched "The Matrix" <BR/><BR/>Something just felt really right about it and I still can feel completely ok with not being able to get out of this mad hatters version of what the real world should be. It's a fun playground to be in from time to time.<BR/><BR/>The Truman show on the other hand didn't do much for me except make me feel really crap that this guy just didn't get that this whole world was set up to dupe him for a purpose that wasn't his to being with.<BR/><BR/>I guess I really like the idea of thinking that the whole of society is being duped rather than just me because then I don't feel so damn alone.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383737354901585191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16268336.post-55152279485841595102007-09-22T07:52:00.000+02:002007-09-22T07:52:00.000+02:00i always reminisce fondly of my solipsistic days. ...i always reminisce fondly of my solipsistic days. there's nothing like going around telling everyone they're computer simulations.<BR/><BR/>if you ever lucid dream, don't forget to try and convince the dream characters you encounter that they're all in your head and not real. see what they tell you...<BR/><BR/>finally, this planet is enslaved and human beings have it worse than cows (or lab rats, if you will). but if you can fool yourself that freedom can be had while in human form, that's grand. passes the sentence much faster.qbittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14262824070986504035noreply@blogger.com
