This guy right here is the epitome of what humanity should and can be...a lovely man. We should all inspire connection to each other and to the rest of the universe...don't lose touch of what is real...we have very short lives its not worth spending it in hate.
why do not accept the death of someone has actually completed is round of rides.. why do you need a leader to bring some light into your worlds??! isn't what Bill told us to do??! c'mon guys be real and stop this no-sense about Hicks' death and conspiracy theory. he's gone where everyone of us will go sooner or later, at the end of this or the next lives. love all the people and groom your Egos to a better pet!!!
This man was taking from this world way too early in his life. He should still be alive today. He continues to enlighten me to this day and I am addicted to his comedy acts. We need another Bill Hicks, but I know he is still with us all, doing what he can, trying to be heard.
Here-Here! I totally agree with you. And yet, Bill transcended cancer, and became the master of life that he was/is.....he left us a legacy of profound truths wrapped up in satirical, intelligent humor. He is so great, and I am so glad he came to this crazy, schizophrenic world. He helps me to laugh, because it is, as he says, just a ride.
@SomeTrespassing cancer isn't there has been cancerous tumors in thousands of accounts in history, it's like UFOS or weed the more u look into it you see it's a important part of our history and has had a influence in man for a very LONG time. i do think you can easily give people it by certain substances. Terence Mckenna and bill hicks were becoming a threat because they broke into the mainstream.
THE DRUGS ALWAYS GET THERE WAY.AND THOSE WERE FOR US NOT TO GET TO HEAR ALL BROTHER BILL HAD TO SAY.SO MUCH MORE WAS LEFT TO BE SAID HIS NAME WAS BILL HICKS BUT NOW HE IS DEAD.ALL THAT'S LEFT NOW IS HIS QUOTES TO FLOAT THRU OUR HEADS.
Time has come to air the voice of reason, in a world gone mad, adrift on banal seas, for all who feel that lies have had their season & whose hearts cry out instead for honesty. For all the weary souls grown bored with dreaming, this thirst for beauty & for knowledge goes unslaked. For all who want to wake from what is dreaming to know what's real & what is real to embrace. For all who've watched with mounting horror, evil's rein upon this world grow ever clear, for all who've prayed in vain,
The world needs us to like him, his job was to guide us to The Way. Now we follow it as best we can and help as many people as we can to find it as well.
but but but, then why did the bush government ever exist??
im thinking : not so many people follow ' the way'
im thinking: most people follow the choice to have a donut everyday..... and dont care about anything else.
(not a flame towards you, but its simply not true, people still vote for either the democrat or the republican candidate. how stupid is that? people have no clue what that ' way ' is. they care about their daily donut ....)
Hello. Everyone I am starting a blog in a few weeks about enlightenment. Pretty much what Bill set out to do. I want a place where the people that actually think and use their brain have a place to meet. I yet to find one on the internet. All I need is your support and ideas. I have the financial thing cover already. All I need is your ideas and support. Thank You email me to know more.
Wait, you haven't found anywhere on the internet where people actually use their brains and your asking for help, input and ideas ...... ON THE INTERNET
yeah its true. goto sacred cow com. there is video of him jamming with his dog... :) Also- check out the bill hicks wildlife foundation. (Yes it is real, been around awhile) Cheers!
...I believe so. I read "Love All of the People" and there are several transcript references to Bill's own talents with the guitar. "Arizona Bay" & "Rant in E Minor" were music/spoken words projects that I didn't think he lived to see through post-production. However, I could be wrong. That's just what I remember reading.
It sure is. Bill was quite the guitarist, so he recorded all the music himself along with his longtime friend and collaborator Kevin Booth. It was one of the last things he did as he knew he was dying.
Your just using semantics. Ego in our culture has been developed as an overlapping pride in ones own abilities, caused by a false sense of importance throughout. Big-head, Narcissia, etc. All coming down to the same point: It's bad to overappreciate yourself. Andrew Cohen is just borrowing an obvious idea that has been sprung down since greek mythology. As for "deeply ingrained"....yes. We have an 'ego', so it can be affected. I don't know if I'd consider it anything other than culture.
That's not true - because without Ego you cannot know Self, as it's what provides the stark contrast between the two. It's like light and dark. It's not evil - at all. Also, you seem to be confusing ego with Ego. ego is the confidence you're speaking of Ego is the acknowledgement of self. Ie. I EXIST!
Ego isnt eveil.....never was and never will be...its not even purpose that differentiates egos...coz to each his own...but an ego without reason...is dangerous.
Does Bill remind anyone else here of Jim Morrison in this clip? Not looks of course, just presence,purpose and voice? There is something very Morrison about this clip.Peace
and might i add u dont c people fighting for rights to use tabacco as a medicine.. u do for cannabis... they are liars... potheads represent a counterculture that media fears.. corporations control media... coporations control the products marketed and sold to u...
Why does the media fear counterculture? I do not think this is a dumb questions because in the eyes of a businessman, which they are, you could make a lot of money with the art that comes from counterculture... and isn't it only considered a counterculture because it is labeled as such?
Wow. I had never heard this before today. Brought a tear to me eye. Hes got to have some book with poems in it somewhere! Have any of them ever leaked out?
I'd say that in a sense, George Carlin was the exact opposite of [& as good as] Bill Hicks, as he seemed to have little hope for humanity, and far more hope for the individual [although you'd never know that he had any hope, unless you had seen specific routines, performances, or interviews]. Whereas Bill seemed to yes have a cynical side on the surface, though when you got deep down he was one of the most hopeful for this world, as he could see what it would be like if everyone worked together.
Im English mate, iv never heard George Carlin. I know what you mean though, how though Bill seems utterly cynical about the future of the planet and the Human race in general, he is one of the few men who seems to realise its true potential. I quote "Use the trillions of dollars we spend every year on weapons and war, and spend it feeding and clothing every person on this planet... and explore space together, both inner and outer." What a man. What an ideal.
Spend no money on defense....I noticed bill made fun of the first gulf war as well. So is he a complete pacifist? Just let saddam move in and take over whatever little country he wanted? What about world war 2? I would bet if people bill wanted to be president were always president, we wouldnt have the iraq war or probably the afghan war. But I think my other examples are decent. What to do about north korea? And our brave journalists theyve jailed and will probably kill
My friend i must say i agree with you. I have to, im in the Royal Navy. I think Bill realised that his views belonged in an ideal world. This world is not that. Conflict is an inevitable part of the Human condition. And i think we all know that its ony going to get worse. Think Bill knew that aswell.?
conflict is NOT a part of the human condition...the same people funding our enemies are the same people funding you! Order out of chaos...the bankers give a country money for weaponry..than cause a false flag attack on the US...than off to war...don't you see its all contrived? War is not mans nature! Love is just like all creatures. People have been led astray. Do what your heart says is right! Don't let the world fool you!
I assure you, sir, the world does not fool me. I have seen every continent except scandinavia and i am not easily deceaved. How can you argue the most repeatedly proven fact in history? Humans have been fighting over anything at all since the beggining of our time on this planet. It amuses me that you americans (ecxept for bill) only regard the effect on america when you think about the world. "cause a flag attack on the US"... wait a minute, we wernt talking about the U.S. Conflict is WORLDWIDE
that's not true, if love is the only state of conciousness then why do we have to deal with suffering? I believe it very dangerous to ignore one side of the yin yang and rejoice in the other. the symbol should be looked at as a whole and not in parts we are light and dark, our true self and our ego, the shadow self being the doorway.
Yin Yang philosophy justifies evil. So you believe evil is human nature? Foolish thoughts! Who do you think is behind suffering? It certainly isn't the Creator/Love. It is the human mind! Which is a tool! Not the creator!
i don't follow yin-yang philosophy i just understand how it works. What it means is that the people who do bad things on this planet are secluding themselves from their other half and someone like yourself is secluding themselves from the darker half. If you follow it, both would be cowards and not really awake spiritually just pretending to be one or the other because facing your true nature is to much for you to handle. Both of you are egotistical. I'm only elaborating on the symbol itself.
Evil is not something to embrace...it comes from the mind/ego and is not necessary. I do not create suffering as do the elite of our society. I am just trying to tell you that darkness is embracing the ego...and love is embracing the great spirit which exists inside and outside of oneself...not inside the ego.
i consider the ego to be the dark side, however, there is a shadow self that i believe is a required part of growth and becoming an adult. without this process you will never truly know what it means to be good, if you've never truly faced your ego and see it for what it is, how will you ever know if you are living through ego or through yourself. we go through hardship after hardship and ego tells us "i'll take care of you." the shadow self is the corridor to face and destroy your ego.
i agree with you. however, i see things under a different light. I try to see things on a more collective scale rather than for just myself realizing my actions and thoughts have an impact on others. the ignorance of the ego is perhaps what is evil not the ego itself. Ego unchecked can be quite cruel, inefficient, and unneeded in a collective. so i say evil. just a matter of point of view.
Okay well when you speak about Ego, it's generally not studied/discussed in a collective sense, namely because well, Ego isn't collective. Also, there are two forms of Ego - ego (small e, which is superficial, ie. I am awesome) and Ego (big e), which is self (small s), meaning I am/awareness of Self (big s).
That is very true, thanks for the insight. I learn on my own and by others. Thanks to the internet you learn something new every day! I hope though that it is discussed more in a collective sense. If so the power of our collective would eventually automatically keep the ego in check. It does already, just not to the point it could. Maybe that threatens some of us, but not me, I realize it is better for everyone else that my ego is in check.
I disagree. You're in control of and, aware of - your own ego. Other people will simply react to your ego, so if that's what you mean by collective then sure, I can see how that helps. Remember though, that it is still up to the individual as to how they lead their own life =)
so you mean to say that your sense of self cant be altered by other peoples perception of you? (not that it should, but it does) or that enviornment cant dictate what you deem valuable? if you cannot acquire what is needed and has value, your self worth drops. so yes you are in control of how you handle these situations, but you cannot help when these situations arrive, and they WILL impact you one way or the other.
After all this arguing. It's just a symbol. It can do you no harm if you know what it means. You don't have to embrace the philosophy at all once you decide for yourself if it seems right or not. Just know there is dualism in all religions this is just another form of it.
Bill addressed the gulf war and the ww, he mentionned it as being planned i.e. USA sold the weapons to those countries.
He was portaying USA as Jack Palance saying PICK UP THE GUN to the smaller countries :) And yes feeding, teaching and helping the poors from all over the world might diffuse a lot of issues and prevent some wars but its ture, not all of them...
can someone give me this poem? Don't understand everything, and i want to write a song based on this.. can someone help me out? just think it would be a nice idea, in the vain of bill, d'you know what i mean?
The time has come to air the voice of reason. In a world gone mad, adrift on banal seas. For all who feel that lies have had their season, and whose hearts cry out instead for honesty. For all the weary souls grown bored with dreaming; whose thirst for beauty and for knowledge goes unslaked. - Bill Hicks
For all who want to wake from what is dreaming, to know what's real, and what's real to embrace. For all who've watched with mounting horror, evil's reign upon this world grow ever clear. For all who've prayed in vain emancipators, wielding swords of truth, and laughing without fear. - Bill Hicks
the end bit was a bit naa.. as Hicks said, perhaps it might have been better to have said we who can nudge them into beauty of just being fucking honest for once in their lives, knowing that it is ok to do so
. it might even be the name of god to say the truth and admit you don't know.
and stfu about accepting Jeezush, we know already, maybe he should go recruit Mohamed instead, they could solve all the problems in the world in a sacred act of bum sex or something.
It's spooky how Bill's words are so relevant in these days. He got off the ride and he is probably laughing at us right now saying, "I told you guys!!!"
Or he could be reincarnated. He'd be about 16 and probably tripping balls on shrooms and DMT. He's still awesome to watch.
Beethoven was the first really revolutionary musician. without him...it would be ALL smooth jazz *shudders. much like Beethoven, Bill Hicks was one of god's great gifts to OUR planet.
Banal means boring or unoriginal, and i think slake is just an old timey way to say 'quenched', as in thirst. Does anyone know if Bill Hicks wrote this? It is totally different than any of his other stuff i've seen, but equally brilliant. We are all one!
banal, it means tired.. and unslaked i believe is your next question mark.. slake is a word meaning tired.. or a lack of intrest, vigour etc, hope it helps
I believe it's from Rant in E-Minor, you can hear part of it in "Quiet Loner" and I believe somewhere else on it (I forget at the moment), and the music at the end of the clip is from the end of "You're Wrong Night". Glad to see you like it too.
This guy right here is the epitome of what humanity should and can be...a lovely man. We should all inspire connection to each other and to the rest of the universe...don't lose touch of what is real...we have very short lives its not worth spending it in hate.

If you follow it, both would be cowards and not really awake spiritually just pretending to be one or the other because facing your true nature is to much for you to handle. Both of you are egotistical. I'm only elaborating on the symbol itself.

Evil is not something to embrace...it comes from the mind/ego and is not necessary. I do not create suffering as do the elite of our society. I am just trying to tell you that darkness is embracing the ego...and love is embracing the great spirit which exists inside and outside of oneself...not inside the ego.

i consider the ego to be the dark side, however, there is a shadow self that i believe is a required part of growth and becoming an adult. without this process you will never truly know what it means to be good, if you've never truly faced your ego and see it for what it is, how will you ever know if you are living through ego or through yourself. we go through hardship after hardship and ego tells us "i'll take care of you." the shadow self is the corridor to face and destroy your ego.
Poonard 2 years ago
let me re-word, evil is ego, not dark side. there is a difference.
Poonard 2 years ago
Um, quite the contrary. Ego is far from "evil". You cannot live without Ego, for Ego is self (little s).
rocktheflow 2 years ago
i agree with you. however, i see things under a different light. I try to see things on a more collective scale rather than for just myself realizing my actions and thoughts have an impact on others. the ignorance of the ego is perhaps what is evil not the ego itself. Ego unchecked can be quite cruel, inefficient, and unneeded in a collective. so i say evil. just a matter of point of view.
Poonard 2 years ago
Okay well when you speak about Ego, it's generally not studied/discussed in a collective sense, namely because well, Ego isn't collective. Also, there are two forms of Ego - ego (small e, which is superficial, ie. I am awesome) and Ego (big e), which is self (small s), meaning I am/awareness of Self (big s).
rocktheflow 2 years ago
That is very true, thanks for the insight. I learn on my own and by others. Thanks to the internet you learn something new every day! I hope though that it is discussed more in a collective sense. If so the power of our collective would eventually automatically keep the ego in check. It does already, just not to the point it could. Maybe that threatens some of us, but not me, I realize it is better for everyone else that my ego is in check.
Poonard 2 years ago
I disagree. You're in control of and, aware of - your own ego. Other people will simply react to your ego, so if that's what you mean by collective then sure, I can see how that helps. Remember though, that it is still up to the individual as to how they lead their own life =)
rocktheflow 2 years ago
so you mean to say that your sense of self cant be altered by other peoples perception of you? (not that it should, but it does) or that enviornment cant dictate what you deem valuable? if you cannot acquire what is needed and has value, your self worth drops. so yes you are in control of how you handle these situations, but you cannot help when these situations arrive, and they WILL impact you one way or the other.

I have come to see poonard as clueful and you as clueless Revo.
The yin in Toaism represents the passive or receptive principle.
The shadow self is those parts or our self which we repress and don't give a chance to heal.
Everybody's capable of anything, but through not hiding we are whole.
Evil is not the concern of Taoism. Yin/yang is the first duality which creates everything below.
Good and bad are relative. You've have to see the God Abraxis for that.

After all this arguing. It's just a symbol. It can do you no harm if you know what it means. You don't have to embrace the philosophy at all once you decide for yourself if it seems right or not. Just know there is dualism in all religions this is just another form of it.

Bill addressed the gulf war and the ww, he mentionned it as being planned i.e. USA sold the weapons to those countries.
He was portaying USA as Jack Palance saying PICK UP THE GUN to the smaller countries :) And yes feeding, teaching and helping the poors from all over the world might diffuse a lot of issues and prevent some wars but its ture, not all of them...

The time has come to air the voice of reason. In a world gone mad, adrift on banal seas. For all who feel that lies have had their season, and whose hearts cry out instead for honesty. For all the weary souls grown bored with dreaming; whose thirst for beauty and for knowledge goes unslaked. - Bill Hicks

For all who want to wake from what is dreaming, to know what's real, and what's real to embrace. For all who've watched with mounting horror, evil's reign upon this world grow ever clear. For all who've prayed in vain emancipators, wielding swords of truth, and laughing without fear. - Bill Hicks

the end bit was a bit naa.. as Hicks said, perhaps it might have been better to have said we who can nudge them into beauty of just being fucking honest for once in their lives, knowing that it is ok to do so
. it might even be the name of god to say the truth and admit you don't know.
and stfu about accepting Jeezush, we know already, maybe he should go recruit Mohamed instead, they could solve all the problems in the world in a sacred act of bum sex or something.

It's spooky how Bill's words are so relevant in these days. He got off the ride and he is probably laughing at us right now saying, "I told you guys!!!"
Or he could be reincarnated. He'd be about 16 and probably tripping balls on shrooms and DMT. He's still awesome to watch.
