What dis mofo jivin', man?

[divineboy123]

I am just trying out different mind sets...learning and un learning, confusing myself...

But I am at peace with myself..I am not desperate to know anything..I don't want to know anything..

In my current mindset, I am very disconnected with my body...the brain is a part of my body, and whatever it knows or not, it doesn't matter...

I can get confused about very simple things..like breathing, roads, eating, working, sleeping, objects, size, time, death, existence..I enjoy it!

Video is from the movie "Baraka". Its very good, not your conventional movie.

watch?v=dYZ8RWqqicQ

one problem... we do know how we open and close our hand and we do know what makes our eyes the color they are. and it is not the same thing... kind of a stupid example from a smart man, don't you think?!

[chickensoupz376]

while it's true that "we" do know how those things work, i think alan was more or less referring to the layman. i doubt the tribes in africa know why their hands are able to open and close. they just do it because they can. that's not really the point of the video though.

[yoseph89]

you totally missed the point. we dont know how we do anything; only theory and method. and if we did know we wouldnt be able to do it, as he says if you listen, any better than anyone else? to ask how we do it, should lead to ask why we want to know how.

You stole the footage from the film Baraka.

[thecaster]

How can you steal something if you have not taken it away so the previous owner does not have it anymore?

[natural]

you stole their creativity.

[thecaster]

Again, how can you steal someone's creativity? Is Ron Fricke no longer creative? No, he's coming out with his next film this year, and hopefully ThouArtThat will make more video remixes out of it. You can't steal creativity. You can only spread it.

[igorchuna]

FUCK YES, ALLAN WATTS

[theperfecthuman]

baraka is awesome but distracting when trying to listen to alan watts.

[crazychickenkid411]

I think i'm in love

[Gregtoulson24]

Who is this (speaking i mean). Laying down some heavy truths!

[TheDoorsI]

Alan Watts - An amazing author and lecturer.

[HaleyMary]

This is a great video. Now I wish I could stop thinking about thinking, but then again there wouldn't be much to do in life if there wasn't any thought, as we need thought in order to make an action in life. And, life wouldn't be much without action. Thanks for posting this video. Provokes a lot of thought. :)

[visioninverse]

It's an exercise in metacognition.

[gratex]

Baraka :)

unisymbiology...

[panickingjuggler]

wish i could stop thinking

[0ThouArtThat0]

what would you do then??

[panickingjuggler]

hopefully just feel myself going with the tide and forget everything i think i know. i need a rest from being me. i don't know, im probably just talking shit. maybe it's not thinking thats the problem, maybe it's just what i think about. i just want to leave my self behind somewhere and be something different. bah, tonights been pretty depressing. apologies for posting it here. i cant be that sorry though...

[mojavedude250]

just a suggestion, try some drugs. marijuana, mushrooms, lsd might be just what yor looking for. marijuana is very relaxing, i think it would suit you well, not because you need it, or are bored but because its a good experiance and you know, "its a musical thing, your supost to sing and dance while the music is being played."

[panickingjuggler]

lol, thanks im working on it. im a lover of psilocybin but i cant get any right now.

[silverbackman]

Exactly brother, I love dabbling in pot and the occasional shroomies as well. And LSD and XTC, hehe though I prefer (or perhaps enjoy) the thought of consuming something created by Her.....the goddess......mother nature.

Thinking isn't bad, but if you don't enjoy it what's the point? Hehe, that's why I love pot....makes you think a lot and it's very pleasurable to do so. Even difficult subjects like politics, gender, sexuality, ect....and you can make jokes out of everything.

[savageravageunicorn]

@mojavedude250 wow i can't believe all you got out of this was to do drugs.

[mojavedude250]

just a sugestion, try some drugs? its the closest you can be to being outside your body. marijuana would fit you nice or shroom or lsd. not because you have to, but because its an another eye opening great experiance. after all, it is a musical thing and you are supost to sing and dance while the music is being played.

[yadsik]

You are saying that it is a philosophical instrument :P

[4eyedCyclopes]

you cant get out of your body..stop that shit..youre leading people down the wrong road with that crap..the real miracle is to be in your body.

[su0rtin]

Drugs are not the closest you can be to being outside your body. Your seriously misleading people with your ill-educated comment. Look up OBE's and Lucid Dreaming. Look up the methods of attaining out of body experiences. Especially before you tell people to try drugs.

[gatsurogue]

drugs are an artificial way to peek behind the door of our subconscious. but once you get a glimpse why wouldn't you want to keep looking? here lies the danger. i have used too many of these tools to ever think of judging someone for this decision. however, keep in mind that one cannot do this forever, like a tool that has been dulled beyond repair, eventually they become useless, and even detrimental to your growth. if you are serious about this experimentation, wait until you are 25+

[SaltWaterHippo]

If you take DMT you will get something very similar to an OBE or Lucid Dream apparently. It makes you dream while you're awake. You obviously don't about enough drugs to make such a statement.

[su0rtin]

Way to go on the massive assumptions.

[aTommerBommer]

@0ThouArtThat0

jack off?

[livenowdoing]

@0ThouArtThat0 Just BE.

[JvRBody]

@panickingjuggler You can't, why would you want that?

[Aprilshowersss]

@panickingjuggler You will.



[romanianskill]

@panickingjuggler you wish you were a plant...
