I was watching Silent Running last week and realised 'What about the forests' is a direct sample from that film. They have another song called Silent Running. For anyone who hasn't seen the film. I'd recommend watching it. 65daysofstatic have recently compiled a score for the film, but I would prefer to hear Carbon Based Lifeforms' version.
So it seems... this is the only place that I can escape from my tragic reality... This place has been shaped in my thoughts in my conscience by the images projected from this song in my head. It feels like the world can be ours even if it's only for a few hours safe and peaceful:D
One day I may ask if such place ever existed or if it was just the product of my imagination.
Are thoughts real, do them exit? HOW EXISTENTIAL!!!
@lorddavid05 It is our reductionist society that has convinced us that nothing can be said to be real unless it has physical form. Ofcourse thought are real :)
And imo, existentialism is a intellectual way of 'giving up' on the grand questions of mind, spirit and cosmic conciousness. The philosophy 'teaches' that we really shouldn't care and that we should think about ourselves instead. Its anthropocentric and sick imo.
@MithrilDwarf81 That's the problem with our society. When one sees something they don't quite understand, or doesn't see a clear benefit from something, it is usually dismissed, ignored, or trivialized. And you're correct, LSD is bad for some people and so are drugs. Some people would not have the same experience as I have had. Its more that I had the capacity to feel the way I do. This drug didn't open that up but just made it more clear to me.
I think you're just being defensive about it because your finally legal age, and you want to experience it for yourself. I'm not stopping you, but I'm just speaking my mind. The way you were talking before was missunderstood, as something like a cult leader would say.
I agree with you that alcohol "can" be bad for you, if abused to the point of being drunk. it's ok to drink maybe 3 beers. Bu, beyond that you can start to loose control of yourself.
I also don't have anything wrong with people using medical doses of drugs for their illnesses, But, to abuse drugs for a temporary high, is a different story. It's dangerous, when it becomes addictive. And maybe not for you, but there are people who cant control addiction, and end up ruining their lives.
We need to unify the collective consciousness of the world. People need to take lsd. sounds crazy but its not. im not gonna say it is life altering for everyone, but I have experienced altered states of consciousness. While in these altered states of consciousness you feel at one with yourself, your mind, and the world. It is an amazing feeling. I was a semi religious person before my experiences, but they have opened my mind and heart up in a way i could never have imagined.
@MithrilDwarf81 Okay, your argument, if you call it an argument, says that the mind is trapped in a collective consciousness. Did i say that? I said unify, meaning people need to work together for common goals instead of pursueing individualistic ideals. Your mind is your own, yet you have preconceived notions about something you have never tried. My mind is my own, and will always be my own. I tried L.S.D. and realized it is not what you think. Don't knock on something you nothing about.
@MithrilDwarf81 It is not about getting fucked up or twisted. I have taken lsd perhaps 4 maybe 5 times over the course of my life. How many times have you messed up your brain up with alcohol. Not going to lie, but alcohol does more damage to your brain than does L.S.D. While on L.S.D. one can still think rationally, if not more so. So again don't talk about abusing my brain with drugs. You sound like one of those dare commercials.
@MithrilDwarf81 If you would like to have a reasonable disccusion, lets do so. Actually please do respond. I would like talk. You might find out that we are not so different from each other. I am a nice person, and if you knew me in real life you would probably agree. I am 21, of legal age, and about to graduate from college in the spring. Thanks for your comment, and forgive me if I sound to preachy or whatever.

@slipknoticaman666 seriously, that is messed up. i love carbon based lifeforms, and I'm remotely new to ambient and electronic music (only been getting into it for the past 2 years). In my opinion, ambient is a genre of music that has its focus more on the atmosphere and portraying a point or idea, kind of like punk music (but of course the sound and message is way more agressive and rebellious hahaha).
I was left breathless...magnificent!!!

Here's my point of view. If someone drinks alcohol in order to get drunk stupid, they are abusing it.
If someone smokes pot, takes LSD, or any other drug in order to get a high, they are abusing it.
I do believe there are safer minimal uses for these substances. But, just to get a buzz or high is wrong.
