PHILOSOPHY: The Writings of Jim Morrison

I go over my favorite quotes of Jim Morrison. Some have wondered why I placed the Lizard King, an American Poet, on my list of philosophers, Gods, and elements which affect my life. Well its because Jim's words probably have impacted me more than any other mans. I place him up there with Plato. Now I know no thoughts are truly new, but Jim took the works of Blake, Huxley, Burroughs, Leary, Nietzsche, etc and put his own views in there and made some amazingly deep comments. Enjoy his words to the music of the Doors, from the Essential Rarities album, here is the Soft Parade (live)

UPDATE:
Originally I had the Orange Country Suite as the accompaniment, but the Record Companies didn't like that. The new song that is on this is Dax Johnson - A Moment in the life. It is a song from the AudioSwap feature on Youtube.

Jim was truly a pioneer, a poet and a great artist.. He burned like the comet on the sky and nobody has or will ever forget him !

What is the piano piece you have put over.. Very suiting and nice.. :)...

@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.

The man had the gift of deep insight..

As palavras raramente retratam sentimentos,estados de espirito ou mesmo pensamentos complexos e intrínsecos,mas neste caso ,no de J.M. foi dos poucos compositores que antes de ser musico ,era já um Poeta e um Pensador !!!

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"

@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.

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.

ohh wow i wish he were here but i know he's off dong other stuff.. love you Jim, always



[BornAgainBabyJesus]

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.

Jim Morrison is the most inspirational and influential figure in my life. Truly a genius of the 20th century.

@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.
