The Psychedelic Revolution

You can't remake this man.
You can remake the game sure, but it won't be what I'm talking about, you can't remake that moment where everything expanded beyond the edge of the universe and was simultaneously condensed to the space on a disc.

 

to truly say "fuck all the other ones" just shows how casual you are. 7 was loved 'cuz it was in 3d, casual, and player friendly, and I guess neo proves that point.

 

I've played all of them, 1-13, plus tactics.
Final 7's mass appeal and explosive popularity does nothing to detract from it's unsurpassed greatness.

u mad?

 

no one was ever ready. but we do it anyway. the truth is that this is what society does. it takes what little soul we have and then beats it out of us. it wants to take away your sense of individuality. there must be a light at the end of the tunnel, there must be a better life to live.

i've found it, actually. it's not what you'd imagine, but places like that do exist. except for a few small quirks which i'm still turning over in my mind, i can't really imagine a better life. there are thousands of people here living in communities spread throughout the world living in unity of heart, mind, and purpose. loving eachother every day because they really care, and they really want to see an end to the wicked state that society today is in. but what most people in society don't realise, is that if you want the ultimate, you must be willing to pay the ultimate price. utopia isn't just going to 'happen' one day. you need people that are dedicated to the cause, and then you need to know the right way to go about it, and the real answers so that what you create isn't just another abomination.

the point is, if you get enough dedicated people working for the same cause, you can accomplish about anything.

does anyone else realise that the two 14-15 year olds in this threads are the ones with the most positive attitudes? it's like, as we grow older our youthful dreams and turned and tested and torn into a million little pieces by society. is this because we were wrong, or because society is wrong?

people do it because there aren't the proper avenues provided to them that are really required to realise such ideas. you can only overcome bad circumstance so much, but after a certain point your enviroment starts to have a real effect on you. so people channel their frustrations and their dreams into drug use.

being is doing. there is no seperation there. you cannot 'be' without equal expression and representation. and if you think you are, then what you are 'being' is the very negative things which are the problem.

what good is a glimpse when you could see it all the time?

lol, yea, and when the spirit of humanity starts being channeled into electronics and video games is the same time that it starts failing.

FF7 is kinda like a holy grail, sure, but there are much better video games even. try playing a real oldschool MMO when it was in it's prime 5-10 years ago. not WoW or some piece of shit game. this was our cyber revolution.

but even so, it doesn't accomplish anything other than channeling the human spirit into a dead end.

 

Accomplishment is a myth. There are no definitely measurable events. Creation is always emergent.

How do you measure positive attitude?

Being is expressed as a level of tension, tone, a vibratory signature. All phenomena are a reflection of this vibratory state. The storms in the atmosphere are a reflection of the storms in our consciousness as the storms in our consciousness reflect the storms in the atmosphere. Being is great doing. Bottom line, you cannot change your being by altering your actions or behavior. Actions and behavior are outgrowths of being. A mind without anxiety is wholly kind.

You say this but you claim to see other things.

We are spirit reaching toward spirit in all things. What dead end?

 

you mean the guys saying the entire world should have a big concert in the desert la de da de da?

Wait, let me get this straight brah.
Because a medium of human expression is electronic (which was inevitable as dictated by evolution) it is soulless?
Of course there are "better games" but I wasn't recommending it to him as a "game" in the first place.
That's your problem Desos, you want acceptance and peace of mind, but you are too hung up on deciding what has a soul or not, what is evil or not, what is conducive to incubating spirituality or not, and on and on. You get so busy dividing everything up into "this has a soul" and "this doesn't have a soul" circles that you fail to see that everything is soulful.

 

yep.

 

...

 

not saying it is souless, but it isn't going to provide to you the essential things that are provided to you by say, going outside and breathing in the fresh air, or going to the beach, or running around a farm and learning about the animals there. instead people are trapped inside their metal cages glued to their gaming consoles or electronics or whatever.

i grew up in the countryside and tbh i just don't know how people can survive in cities. the truth is, they can't. after a while you stop noticing it. but it slowly tears away at your innocent spirit. nature is the best entertainment. the further away from nature you are, the more confused you become.

there is a natural order of things. humanity wants to build a highway across the once serene cosmos and then use the rest to discard their waste.

this kind of philosophy is exactly what i meant, when i said that it has left the streets and entered our minds.

actions and behavior are an outgrowth of being, that is true. but why is it then that when someone wants to actually make an 'action or behavior' all i ever hear on here is 'just be, man, like, its all one anyway'

try taking your wholly kind and anxiety free mind, and then put it in the middle of dozens of people that think differently from you, act differently from you, and believe differently from you, and we'll see how long you all get along.

because the truth is, we cannot be one apart from eachother.

 

What are these "essential" things you speak of that come from "nature" and not from anywhere else? Why are they essential?
You are letting your persona skew your perspective of how the world really is.
You grew up in the country side and can't understand it, you said it yourself. People do survive in cities, the city is basically a smash-up of millions of people and their thoughts and ideas and knowledge, the city-THERE is your REAL akashic record, and people do obtain great meaning from modernity whether that be in the form of high rise city architecture, electronic music, or video games. It always amazes me that people want to talk about "creating your own reality" yet sneer when humanity as a whole embraces the things that it has created for itself. It's called evolution and it's our progress and destiny as a living species. There's a certain idealism about nature and the past, but that idealism only exist because it's IN THE PAST. It's gone, forever, and it wasn't as glorious as people make it out to be, otherwise we would still be there.

 

I love how human beings love to seperate themselves from nature. As if cities and electronics are not also part of nature? Just because they're man-made doesn't suddenly mean there's nothing natural about it. Music is also man-made (well, not entirely), but that doesn't mean it's not natural. Quite the contrary in my opinion.

The city is its own vibe. So is a farm. Neither one is better than the other. It's just all about what you prefer, but in my opinion you shouldn't tear apart people who live in the city. But then again you can do whatever you want.

Cities are just as beautiful as forests are.

A video game can be just as beautiful as a guitar can be as a blade of grass can be.

Yes it is true that many man-made things are destructive but earthquakes and volcanoes aren't? Nature has been just as destructive as humans have been. And it's feeble to say that one caused the other. They're simply timeless mirrors of each other. They're just ONE happening.

 

Being is closer than your hand and nearer than your heart. Action and behavior are vectors of interpretation only, they are not the real effect.

In my space the lion lays with the lamb. We are not in fact apart. like calls unto like.

 

it doesn't take a genius to be able to tell the difference. take a look at a city. look at all the waste, all the polution, and all the things which are not only clouding up the enviroment, but also clouding up people's consciences and their relationships, and then take a look at what man can do to live in harmony with nature and itself. there is a MASSIVE difference.

persona and perspective can only account for so much. there are certain truths which are self-evident.

there were only so many things that humans were supposed to be able to accomplish. evolution was about the physical conditioning and changes of man, not about the cannons we used to kill eachother. that is, if you believe that something as complex and sophisticated as man could have even evolved from something like a monkey. you don't need the creatings of mankind to realise that our accomplishment is a spiritual one.

so then when presented with destruction do you just let it happen then? no, you find a way to eradicate and nullify the damage.

what makes you so sure that our actions aren't the real effect? if not then what is the real effect? effect to what? to serve what purpose?

 

I am sure in the moment of now that the reality of life is perpetually emergent, each and every moment presents a novel proposition. Continuity is achieved by continually choosing anew. There is no past that fixes things in space. Anything that you could point to as accomplishment is soon swallowed by prescient contingency. We come seeking, we do not come to establish.

 

Bombing tornadoes makes perfect sense. Harm has no face.

 

Perhaps the destruction is the means to the creation of a new earth. Of course, do what you can to make the necessary changes in the moment, but don't resist the destruction ultimately. You must be down for every possibility. Don't resist the cosmic tides. So in one way i would say yes, you do let it happen. Of course you don't necessarily want it to happen, but that's not really the point. If it IS happening that's all that matters. And you don't resist it and you move from there. What do you think this crashing economy represents?

 

or rather, we ought to avoid the tornado and let it spin out.

the utter failure of the post-world war 2 world, and the ideals of society. so when the wave comes, are you going to be on the beach, or up in the mountains? would you contribute to the already destined-to-fail, or rather build on higher ground?

 

i would rather build on higher ground and not contribute to the already-destined to fail. But i'm not sure what else you're trying to say.

it is destined to fail, so don't resist it. and in the meantime build the new earth.
