life is a school, we are many who attend this school ... We sometimes see things but choose to look away, it's easier to live. society we have built up after the war, religion, money and thoughts .. has made us as puppets, we are slaves to our own thoughts that we have inherited by our ancestors. We do not want to break loose, because then we become outcasts of society ... Where do we find our "I Am"
Morrison & Zappa were the 2 greatest philosophers in the world,because they really said what is in their mind and really how the world works and especially when it comes to love ! I think my self also that love is bull shit especially towards a partner.I think the real love is ''mother to a child''that's a fact.
where did you get the quotings from? one book or like interviews and stuff? great video btw and i agree with you. jim is deffo up there with many great writers. just because he didnt publish -X books or because he didnt do any out of the ordinary in terms of making profound new theories doesnt mean he didnt put as much thought and passion as any of those did. he also tried to make his own sense of it and this world. which for me grants as much if not bigger value than anyone else.
@dpveleven, Jesus was a man, but was also God. Jim was (and is) a normal human being, and must be embarrassed and probably a number of other things over being made into a god he was definitely not. But he was/probably still is a sensitive, intelligent, serious person, and I love the fact that people feel an affinity with him.
Jim did not embrace the political philosophy of Nietzsche because he was on the people's side, not that of the elites. But I think Jim loved the idea of the artist as a special individual, who should not allow his gift to be squandered, and he loved Nietzsche because N. Was a compelling, insane man.
Thank you for posting Jims beautiful & meaningful words.To me there is no other, he is still an inspiration for every generation since the 60's.While i am in agreement that Jim was an awesome singer with his deep bluesy voice, he was the consumate entertainer. but its Jims poetry that captivates me. One can argue that his stage presence & good looks are what made the Doors who they are but what Jim wanted was for us to hear to what he had to say, his words are powerful. just LISTEN to them! <3
40 years ago today... I never met you, but I miss you Jim. I hope we get another leader like you soon. We need one. I'm going to be listening to my Doors playlist all day, I suggest you all do the same.
I wish gay mariage was legal so that others who are gay can be happy.Everyone deserves to be happy not repressed by society fake rules on how to live when they can`t even live right themselves and always mad about something.
@rockking05 i love your comment. everyone should be able to live freely. love who you wish with no fear of judgment by others. its the hate in this world that tears us apart:(
hey roman- thats kinda cool, i applauad you, philosophical outlook we find the odd 1s who are not sheep interesting- the sheep ignorant n let them live in the bliss a ignorance, understanding is difficult yet soul lifting im content with my self been an if i feel i have to describe my inner thoughts n feelings id be so miss understood. You a class act lol well done you teriffic posts n quality comments, repect to you freind.
He didn't know things we can't, he knew things we refuse to know, out of fear. The truth sayers aren't murdered in plain view anymore to scare us. They are turned into idols or gods, that way there truth seems unattainable to 'normal' people when in fact people like Jim and Jesus were normal people too
it's weird what he said about the snake (excellent vid btw mate), brought to my mind kundalini - the great snake in yogic mysticism, that's supposed to support life, running up and down the spinal cord through the chakras, i think.. so maybe that's what we fear - life.. my 2 pence guys, only my 2 pence
i find that tho troubled he was like a candle that u will stare at and be mesmorized it flikers out too quickly..yes i to was in love with him as a teenage girl but now as an adult his words are somehow comforting and very suited too the time we are liveing in ...a prophet? maybe , a poet for certain it is very hard too sit in judgment of anyone else's life dramas when so very few of us have dealy with are own...i'm just sayin..food form thought
beautiful words with deep sentiment but he died young, far to young ,he became an alcoholic because he struggled with this world rather than reconcile his own demons. I love his poetry but there are no answers to be found in your own self destruction unless you survive, and they seldom do.
@sparx65 No one gets out of here alive, Sparx. Lets not delude ourselves. And I doubt you were his psychologist, so I doubt you know why he drank. Maybe for the pleasure of it. Maybe for Dionysian thrills. Maybe to cope with the world. Maybe for inspiration. Who knows. You can guess and guess alone.
@sparx65 To live is to die. I know from my own experience in life that alcohol makes me super creative. Also jim would not be who he was if he did what every one else wanted. Do you forget we are the slaves, the spectators, the one who wonder what happen and whats going on. He lived his life, we can only comment or live our own.
Jim was like shining mirror that made people reflecs backt on themselves only to have most reject that reflection.Like mirror it makes you see who you really are but sometimes we don`t like what we see of it so we rejets the reflecttion and put on mask and live the rest of our lives hating ourselves and at the same time live lie and pretend to be someone that we are not,and hate those who try to show us that we are that person.

As I lay in my floor last night wondering if death had truly come, I melted into waves of slumber, unknowing. . . this morning I awoke. . . returning to thought. . . returning to life. . .it is truly different now. . . how distracted by forms and sounds I have been. . .silly me
jim connects with me on such a deep emotional level.. i feel like we could almost be one in the same.. but then i realize he died alone and i feel such deep sorrow.. such loneliness.. but i remember it's what makes me strong, that emptiness, and I carry on to the next day, knowing my strength will increase with each passing moment... if only we all could be as strong as you, Jim.
I think JDM is the antithesis of Plato. The Lizard King was a philosopher for a modern time but indeed not so much like Plato but (in my opinion) more like Nietzsche; he had a beautiful perspective of the world. You need to be insane not merely understand insanity to view the truthful face of the Universe. Even when there may be no truth at all.
Sweet words of wisdom. Liberty is obtain when you take control of your action. But with great liberty comes great responsibility, it has been said before. Besides we are born free, but we are condemn to forget about it.
never understood why i never liked jim morrison i admired the doors band but not jim just never understood and these quotes are a little stupid no offense its stating obvious things in life nothing out of the ordinary.
well for starters preachy nor peachy rhyme with nietzsche but i like nietzsche too idk "peachy or preachy" the meaning of those terms are pretty straightforward. Have you been humbled by nietzsche? or do you use him as a catalyst to say "FUCK YOU CHRISTIANITY"
Awesome collection of quotes. I feel somewhat betrayed by Camus and his book "The Myth of Sisyphus." It seems to go against what Jim believed and in the end was just watered down Lao Tzu. While ignorance is bliss, and accepting your lot in life may be a pathway to a happy life, what kind of life could it really be? Again, nice vid.
All of these Individuals were brilliant, but were mere ashes compared to Jesus the Christ. He is the answer. It's not organized religion, or Nietzsche or Camus. They all yearned for a saving force. We all need a savior.
can you clarify what you mean by those different terms? Probably Preachy Nietzsche, but I'd want to hear your definitions before I confirm anything like that. In short I've read almost everything he's written, I strive to apply it to my life, and I try and explain it and use his metaphors when I give advice to people. If that makes me preachy because I share the good news of Nietzsche (LOL) then so be it. I just find him to be authentically free in a world full of sheep.
@RomanPhilosopher hey, i want to talk to you about nietzsche... i mean, i just read that post i think and i think your someone to listen too,
specially that part about applying those ideas to your life, because all i meet are dry scholars, ideas are useless unless they can be applied to our lives, right.
you fu_kin aye I've read nietzshie, and it is the fool in us that would make us say god is dead, who knows he may have never been alive, sceince tells us that god lives in our brain and that is it.
Hey there, thank you greatly for the time you had to spend in finding that info, I really mean it, cheers. I know from the comments page that it wasn't just myself who was eager to find out who the piece was by & what it is called, so on behalf of everyone I shall personally see to it that the spirits bestow great tidings upon you & all your ventures my friend..... Now I'm off to go find the music for myself before the men in white coats come to take me away......thanks again :-)
What's up with you Bro'? What's the problem with telling folk what the tune is? It's a great piece of music, and personally I love what you've done here. There was so much more to Morrison than the music of The Doors, as legendary as they were. But c'mon tell us what the piano-piece is or I'll have to get shamanic on your ass & call down the spirits upon thee.
just because of your threats I went through the painstaking task of combing through the audioswap music on youtube for tracks at about 9 minutes in length. I spent a good thirty minutes searching and found it. Since you are SO curious I shall tell you who wrote the piece and what its called. Trust me, its a fitting title in a sense...
If you want to look up the piece its under classical in the Audio Swap Menu.
Look up Dax Johnson.
The second song there is called: a moment in the life.
lots of the quotes that jim used kinda reflects on me a little bit my family loves me to be like them but i see myself as another person and i want to be that person
Dax Johnson - A Moment in the life. It is a song from the AudioSwap feature on Youtube. Originally I had the Orange Country Suite as the accompaniment, but the Record Companies didn't like that.
Nobody has asked what is the source of this material?In my opinion this outlook was somewhat bleak. I think if Jim would have been given more time to see the advances of science he would have changed his outlook.Thats why some philosophies tend to stick better as myths as opposed to Jims attempt with skewed sense.None the less I do also think he was on a level of a modern day prophet of American culture and society. I think that is why we admire him so much.He connects us with the primitive
Because Morrison is mainly was largely influenced by Nietzsche, Camus, Sartre, Kafka, and much of the above thought is pretty essential Existentialism mixed with a bit Morrisons own religious thoughts.
damn..this is beautifull, it makes you think for a while, it makes you do a full reflexion of yourself and it makes you understand life, Jim was a gifted person with the ability to make us open our eyes, and it lets us do a full inspection of who we really are, I saw this and I thought I was free.but now I see I'm just a poor prisoner of the society, this kind of thought by Mr. Morrison are the thoughts that will set us free..
He was definitely one of the few freethinkers out there. So many people are just sheeple, you know? Its a huge burden to be truely free and independent and not rely on others for your worth, for your value, for what values you should have, for how you live your life. He was a free spirit and thats what makes him so romantic of a figure. Who doesn't yearn for that freedom and that strength of will to accomplish it.
Well, I like this, especially the part about pain. Absolute freedom does not exist in the sociological sense,it belongs to realm of dreams...So, the same happens if we open the doors of perception...
However, Sartre explains the term through the existentialist philosophy and many others,of course. Basically,it's a problem of being and free will- is it determined or not.
p.s. Love JM immensely,anyway-call him a poet, philosopher...whatever.
A think some hermits would disagree on the notion of absolute freedom. Its extremely difficult to be absolutely free, but not impossible. It simply is too large of a burden for most people to handle.
Dax Johnson - A Moment in the life. It is a song from the AudioSwap feature on Youtube. Originally I had the Orange Country Suite as the accompaniment, but the Record Companies didn't like that.
In effect another death cult. Patience is key. Freedom is a complex issue. You can be free in certain areas and yet remain weighed down in others. To be free you must at the least have a direct experience of God, and yet even that does not suffice (I'll bear you testimony to that.). If death cannot set you free and neither can God then you have to conclude that the only remaining possibility is life's continuance and the hope of a better future.
freedom cant b defined ina word as its a way of being nd unique 2 every individual, 2 do so is 2 strip away d basic principles of d feeling by branding it wit a set name, d person who chose 2 pigeonhole it wit a name is in turn forcing us 2 embrace his r her idea of wot dey found it 2 b nd wit doin so builds d walls of d metaphoric house dat is our personal quest 4 enlightenment nd only leaves us wit d ability 2 add our own roof on top of d preconditioned walls of somebodys concept of freedom
Hi. Though I disagree essentially with what you're saying I'm glad someone else believes in a quest for enlightenment - provided it is meant literally.
:) Glad you were Mr 5000, I never thought this video would get this many views, but Mr Mojo Risin's words easily merit that much of a response. Any requests for future productions?
For your own enjoyment you might want to look up this year's CBC Massey lectures with Margaret Atwood. They're podcasted somewhere out there, and I think you might like the topic.
As to morrison, fick yeah!
As to future productions? I don't know. There is an applied brand of personal philosophy that comes about with every action we take. Everything we write. Everything we do. So, that in mind, you could do anything!
very interesting collection of quotes. Mr Morrison, may he rest in eternal bliss, was a true visionary who created the most viable poetic lyrics of mid 20th century usa (yes, including dylan) and delivered them like a wizard. his back-up band played some pretty good music too. the rolling stones have been the sound track of my life. 4 albums: beggars banquet, let it bleed, sticky fingers, and exile on main street. could you put something together with that material? thanks. it'll be great.
Dax Johnson - A Moment in the life. It is a song from the AudioSwap feature on Youtube. Originally I had the Orange Country Suite as the accompaniment, but the Record Companies didn't like that.
no that song is better, that song was on here, that song is copyrighted and youtube was going to take down the video and give me one strike if I didn't change the audio out with some of their copyright free music. It sucks, but the video is still up.
I mean after reading this " expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. you're free". I totally agree with you :)
I agree, the God is Dead part in The Gay Science illustrates why new Gods should be forged excellently. But Jim is a lightning rod for a new generation that introduces people to concepts, and if they look deeper, they'll find Nietzsche and Camus and Blake and the various other influences on Mr Mojo Risin.
The "dionysian" is metaphor, not an entity. Nietzsche writes somewhere about truth being illusion neccessary for a form of life to exist. The same is true of dionysus & apollo, forms of life freely chosen, knowing that they are exactly that, roles. Arete continues but is no longer deontological, it doesn't come from on high. The "God" in God is Dead isn't just Jehovah, it's more wide reaching than that! It's the idea of some objective non-perspectivist source of truth we can plug in to.
Meaning the source of this "truth"... Shamans for a long time go into trance and talk to the forests or the night. That god is alive to them and how can something like taking ayahuasca be so life changing? Or how about voodoo and santeria? Cant prove "God" but cant disprove either. What is the point of affection? Where did it come from? How is it that animals can speak that language with humans? That source of truth is out there and we plug whether we like it or not.
my pleasure. I was pleasantly surprised at how deep his non-song words truly were. Imagine sure alot of Nietzsche is retold by him, but he adds his own style and thoughts to it. Making it more than just Existentialism and the Dionysian Ideal.
so maybe, a philospher is someone formally (academically) trained in philosophy engaged with other philosphers in print. Usually also engaged in formal teaching.
Anyone who writes poems could be called a poet...
There's overlap of course, but i don't think a lyricist and a poet are the same thing... that said i would say Dylan is a poet, maybe the terms just amounts to "I like that"! : )
a philosopher is simply: a lover of wisdom. Thats the entymology. Surely these quotes prove he loved wisdom, he sought it from mystics and men. As far as poems. He published books of poems, not many books, but he did publish poems, also if Dylan's lyrics are poetry, surely Morrisons are as well. You are telling me that when you listen to The End, that is not a poem? Not Moonlight Drive? Just as poetic as Dylan.
I think you mean "etymology", the other is the study of bugs ; )
It's not simply a lover of wisdom though, it's a career, reputation...
maybe he loved wisdom, maybe he didn't, dying in your own vomit in your late twenties isn't particularly wise in my opinion
As for if Dylan then Morrison, I don't think Morrison is a patch on Dylan, or Cohen, or Waters... but like I said that's personal opinion... Ronan Keating writes songs, wouldn't call him a poet - probably it amounts to "I like that
LOL my bad! he died in the bathtube BTW, Hendrix died on his own vomit. And to paraphrase Plato's Phaedo which describes Socrates' last day:
A philosopher does not fear death, but anticipates it, because he knows that he is about to find the freedom of being loosened from our human chains and be reconnected to the pure forms, to return to the source.
it then goes on to describe how just as we wakeup, are awake, then fall asleep, then sleep. Likewise we are born, live, die, then death, repeat.
read the Phaedo, then make up your mind. At the worst you'll look smarter for having Plato on your bookshelf, best case you'll learn something new or understand a different idea or two. Death awaits us all, might as well be ready.
A weariness that wants to reach the ultimate with one leap, with one fatal leap, a poor ignorant weariness that does not want to want anymore: this created all gods and afterworlds. "

jim connects with me on such a deep emotional level.. i feel like we could almost be one in the same.. but then i realize he died alone and i feel such deep sorrow.. such loneliness.. but i remember it's what makes me strong, that emptiness, and I carry on to the next day, knowing my strength will increase with each passing moment... if only we all could be as strong as you, Jim.

I think JDM is the antithesis of Plato. The Lizard King was a philosopher for a modern time but indeed not so much like Plato but (in my opinion) more like Nietzsche; he had a beautiful perspective of the world. You need to be insane not merely understand insanity to view the truthful face of the Universe. Even when there may be no truth at all.

well for starters preachy nor peachy rhyme with nietzsche but i like nietzsche too idk "peachy or preachy" the meaning of those terms are pretty straightforward. Have you been humbled by nietzsche? or do you use him as a catalyst to say "FUCK YOU CHRISTIANITY"
SpunkySkunk347 1 year ago
Awesome collection of quotes. I feel somewhat betrayed by Camus and his book "The Myth of Sisyphus." It seems to go against what Jim believed and in the end was just watered down Lao Tzu. While ignorance is bliss, and accepting your lot in life may be a pathway to a happy life, what kind of life could it really be? Again, nice vid.

All of these Individuals were brilliant, but were mere ashes compared to Jesus the Christ. He is the answer. It's not organized religion, or Nietzsche or Camus. They all yearned for a saving force. We all need a savior.

hey you like Nietzsche?
are you a preachy nietzsche or a peachy nietzsche?
SpunkySkunk347 2 years ago
can you clarify what you mean by those different terms? Probably Preachy Nietzsche, but I'd want to hear your definitions before I confirm anything like that. In short I've read almost everything he's written, I strive to apply it to my life, and I try and explain it and use his metaphors when I give advice to people. If that makes me preachy because I share the good news of Nietzsche (LOL) then so be it. I just find him to be authentically free in a world full of sheep.

@RomanPhilosopher hey, i want to talk to you about nietzsche... i mean, i just read that post i think and i think your someone to listen too,

What's up with you Bro'? What's the problem with telling folk what the tune is? It's a great piece of music, and personally I love what you've done here. There was so much more to Morrison than the music of The Doors, as legendary as they were. But c'mon tell us what the piano-piece is or I'll have to get shamanic on your ass & call down the spirits upon thee.
STOBINNIAN 2 years ago
just because of your threats I went through the painstaking task of combing through the audioswap music on youtube for tracks at about 9 minutes in length. I spent a good thirty minutes searching and found it. Since you are SO curious I shall tell you who wrote the piece and what its called. Trust me, its a fitting title in a sense...
If you want to look up the piece its under classical in the Audio Swap Menu.
Look up Dax Johnson.
The second song there is called: a moment in the life.
Enjoy.

Nobody has asked what is the source of this material?In my opinion this outlook was somewhat bleak. I think if Jim would have been given more time to see the advances of science he would have changed his outlook.Thats why some philosophies tend to stick better as myths as opposed to Jims attempt with skewed sense.None the less I do also think he was on a level of a modern day prophet of American culture and society. I think that is why we admire him so much.He connects us with the primitive

He was definitely one of the few freethinkers out there. So many people are just sheeple, you know? Its a huge burden to be truely free and independent and not rely on others for your worth, for your value, for what values you should have, for how you live your life. He was a free spirit and thats what makes him so romantic of a figure. Who doesn't yearn for that freedom and that strength of will to accomplish it.
RomanPhilosopher 2 years ago
Well, I like this, especially the part about pain. Absolute freedom does not exist in the sociological sense,it belongs to realm of dreams...So, the same happens if we open the doors of perception...
However, Sartre explains the term through the existentialist philosophy and many others,of course. Basically,it's a problem of being and free will- is it determined or not.
p.s. Love JM immensely,anyway-call him a poet, philosopher...whatever.

In effect another death cult. Patience is key. Freedom is a complex issue. You can be free in certain areas and yet remain weighed down in others. To be free you must at the least have a direct experience of God, and yet even that does not suffice (I'll bear you testimony to that.). If death cannot set you free and neither can God then you have to conclude that the only remaining possibility is life's continuance and the hope of a better future.

very interesting collection of quotes. Mr Morrison, may he rest in eternal bliss, was a true visionary who created the most viable poetic lyrics of mid 20th century usa (yes, including dylan) and delivered them like a wizard. his back-up band played some pretty good music too. the rolling stones have been the sound track of my life. 4 albums: beggars banquet, let it bleed, sticky fingers, and exile on main street. could you put something together with that material? thanks. it'll be great.

I agree, the God is Dead part in The Gay Science illustrates why new Gods should be forged excellently. But Jim is a lightning rod for a new generation that introduces people to concepts, and if they look deeper, they'll find Nietzsche and Camus and Blake and the various other influences on Mr Mojo Risin.

The "dionysian" is metaphor, not an entity. Nietzsche writes somewhere about truth being illusion neccessary for a form of life to exist. The same is true of dionysus & apollo, forms of life freely chosen, knowing that they are exactly that, roles. Arete continues but is no longer deontological, it doesn't come from on high. The "God" in God is Dead isn't just Jehovah, it's more wide reaching than that! It's the idea of some objective non-perspectivist source of truth we can plug in to.

Meaning the source of this "truth"... Shamans for a long time go into trance and talk to the forests or the night. That god is alive to them and how can something like taking ayahuasca be so life changing? Or how about voodoo and santeria? Cant prove "God" but cant disprove either. What is the point of affection? Where did it come from? How is it that animals can speak that language with humans? That source of truth is out there and we plug whether we like it or not.

so maybe, a philospher is someone formally (academically) trained in philosophy engaged with other philosphers in print. Usually also engaged in formal teaching.
Anyone who writes poems could be called a poet...
There's overlap of course, but i don't think a lyricist and a poet are the same thing... that said i would say Dylan is a poet, maybe the terms just amounts to "I like that"! : )
lughlamh 3 years ago
a philosopher is simply: a lover of wisdom. Thats the entymology. Surely these quotes prove he loved wisdom, he sought it from mystics and men. As far as poems. He published books of poems, not many books, but he did publish poems, also if Dylan's lyrics are poetry, surely Morrisons are as well. You are telling me that when you listen to The End, that is not a poem? Not Moonlight Drive? Just as poetic as Dylan.
RomanPhilosopher 3 years ago
I think you mean "etymology", the other is the study of bugs ; )
It's not simply a lover of wisdom though, it's a career, reputation...
maybe he loved wisdom, maybe he didn't, dying in your own vomit in your late twenties isn't particularly wise in my opinion
As for if Dylan then Morrison, I don't think Morrison is a patch on Dylan, or Cohen, or Waters... but like I said that's personal opinion... Ronan Keating writes songs, wouldn't call him a poet - probably it amounts to "I like that

LOL my bad! he died in the bathtube BTW, Hendrix died on his own vomit. And to paraphrase Plato's Phaedo which describes Socrates' last day:
A philosopher does not fear death, but anticipates it, because he knows that he is about to find the freedom of being loosened from our human chains and be reconnected to the pure forms, to return to the source.
it then goes on to describe how just as we wakeup, are awake, then fall asleep, then sleep. Likewise we are born, live, die, then death, repeat.
