Cloud Atlas seems like its a similar movie to The Fountain. The Fountain follows 2 characters over 3 lifetimes/time periods. I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Fountain. I like those type of films. I look forward to watching Cloud Atlas.

I like these lyrics... I got del my account, i dont know why i'm posting and it takes so damn long for it to come up. it really is annoying.

"Photographs" by Robyn Rihanna Fenty
(feat. Will.I.Am)

Here's a little story I've gotta tell
Bout this boy I know so well
Back in the day was cool and all
Fell in love, I fell in love
Thought he was the one for me
Other boys I could not see
And look what happened to our love
I'm like how could it be?

It should have been me and you
It could have been you and me
Boy you broke my heart and now I'm standing here
It should have been me and you
It could have been you and me
Now all I've got are these photographs

All I've got, all I've got
All I've got are these photographs
All I've got, all I've got
All I've got is nothing without you
You, you,
Got nothing without you
You, you,
Got nothing without you

Now baby it's killing me
I'm saying it's killing me
The fact that you ain't around
Baby I'm falling down
I need me a remedy
Been looking for remedies
I need you to be around
And baby I'm hurting now
I know you're a better man
(When I was your girl)
This land is a better land
(When you're in my world)
Today will be better babe
If it were like yesterday
So happy and lovely... hey, hey, hey

All I've got, all I've got
All I've got are these photographs
All I've got, all I've got
is nothing without you
You, you,
Got nothing without you
You, you,
Got nothing without you

All I've got are these photographs
I remember when I used to make you laugh
I don't wanna be stuck in the past
But you're all that I have that I had
And I don't wanna lose what we built this far
This is me and you, you're my superstar
I'd give anything, baby here's my heart
My heart, my heart...

My heart don't stop, my heart be beating over
My loving never stop, even though that it's over
Girl I've been reminiscing when I play that Casanova
Way back when we was kissing on your grand momma's sofa
Girl I got this lovey dovey o my photo album
I got them pictures back when I was rocking Calvin... Klein
You had your Guess jeans on looking sexy, oh no
Girl why couldnt I be the one?

Why? Why? Why?
I am not the one
Why? Why? Why?
Why couldn't you be the one?
Why? Why? Why?
Why couldn't you be the one?
Why? Why? Why?

All I've got, all I've got
Is nothing without you
All I've got, all I've got
Is nothing without you
You, you,
Is nothing without you
You, you,
Is nothing without you
All I've got, is nothing without

All I've got are these photographs

All I've got are these photographs
Why would I want to change what I've built so Far? Look at me now I'm a *SuPeRStAr* ~Jay (Jpm) :-)

My lyrics don't do the song justice. I forgot to post the link to the song, it was my error.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtIyjCZLt6g

-------------------------------------------------

Jedaiah,

I don't like lil wayne's music but see what you are saying about his lyrics in the link you posted, I have read them. Most Hip-Hop artists rap about the same thing over and over throughout the years that others have been rapping about such as: Violence, Misogyny, The Drug Trade, Gang Affiliations, Their Money, Where They Grew Up, The Car They Drive etc.

I'd just like to point out that the so-called Rappers also sell to the very people they are speaking out against. About the Misogyny part of it... I've known women that were/are in their 20s and buy these rappers albums and do not seem to care that they are Misogynists. I don't what the reason is for that. Although I have my theories.

Does Life value life?
Is Life alive?
no

If Life is not an entity, is it worth anything?
How can we justify the inherent goodness of Life?
Perhaps this is the reason people cling to their theodicy... it justifies an otherwise meaningless cosmodicy.

Is Life ambivalent about the quality of life?
Does Life care if it exists?
Life has no single common awareness, except of being alive.

Oh magical Life, self-aware and full of meaning, I long for you.
Life beautiful, I long for you.
Life

Oh yes, how could I have missed? The solution would be just to flip it horizontally on Photoshop.

Thanks guys, in the future I would love to draw some more Billy inspired images, to hopefully convey a message on a more subconcious level to the truth seeker.

This one can pass as modern art and can fetch upwards 10000 dollars if you explain there’s a dragon, a dove and a horse within the picture...

Well, It would be great to paint something different for a change. but yes, I am a professional artist,, painting outdoors mostly, doing commisions here and there. If I had to paint this picture using oils(which is my preferred medium), it would look more rounded off and balanced. But most importantly, if it allows me to contribute to the mission, it would be icing on the cake, or wedding cake...

Is that your own picture memo? Amazing, look at all that colour...

Music, progress, equality and ..... eventually it will all come together as Herr Meier anticipates though meanwhile it's a relative few who lead the way.

Andre Rieu .... superb musician and arranger in his own right.
Here's his version of Danube Waltz .... notice the composition of the orchestra.
Only runs 4 minutes.

Then from another angle Sachal Studios based in Pakistan version of Take 5. Again a superb arrangement by a highly talented group of musicians but ..... notice the composition of the orchestra.
Runs almost 6 minutes.

Self-Reflection Poem
by Melissa Swem 4/26/2013

Why do I breath?
to stay alive

Why do I eat?
to stay alive

Why do I sleep?
to stay alive

Why do I need shelter/warmth?
to stay alive

Why do I live?
Why am I alive?
to learn

So my body(material) needs material things to keep my body alive.
To learn I need a brain in order to process information. My brain needs a body to house it, keep the brain alive and provide aid to the brain for collecting data to learn from.

My brain receives incoming data, processes the data, and then sends out data.
My brain creates waves of thought also. Thoughts are independent of the brain's basic functions. Thoughts are generated not via the brain, but via the consciousness.
The consciousness is housed in the brain. The consciousness is Spirit. Spirit is a piece-part of the Creation. Without Spirit, the brain and body is just a brain and body. Adding consciousness to a brain and body, allows the consciousness to learn from body/brain experiences in a material environment. It merges the non-material with the material, which allows the non-material consciousness to collaborate with the material brain/body and world/environment; physical existence. The non-physical learns from physical experiences.

My brain and body do not direct my consciousness, but rather my consciousness directs my brain and body.
The basic functions of the brain and body and physical world, aid as tools to my consciousness's learning.
It is my consciousness which rules the house and the world, by collaborating with it. By finding balance with it. To learn in a neutral-positive manner, which will enable steady, organised development. Why do I think this is how it works? I observe nature/creation around me and notice that all nature is neutral-positive and grows in a steady and organised manner. Nature collaborates/creates balance with each other.

It's my consciousness which really matters and by creating balance in a neutral-positive manner with my brain/body and world around me/others, my consciousness will steadily develop in an organised, neutral-positive manner.

Why then, does my consciousness work best this way and why does it matter?
Look at the crazy world around me and then ask myself this question.

Obviously it is all for the purpose of the consciousness's learning.

What does learning do for us?
Experience, Knowledge, Wisdom = not a crazy world like the one I live in. = to live better. Life gets better as we develop our consciousness. To experience a better life.
-Melissa

Hi Melissa

Just a correction to the following in your above writing. You said "The consciousness is Spirit".

The material consciousness that is dependent upon a functioning brain is part of the material existence and the material consciousness block, and is not spirit. Because of this, when the brain no longer functions, and the spirit severs its connection with the material realm, the material consciousness is dissolved completely, as are the other material components of the material consciousness block including the psyche.

G'day folks

i like to sing this

Star Trek: DS9 - intro
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6uxGW3SrIc

(before i push play say: It Is So)
(sing when the horn sounds)


I have been Born
i am floating in The Creation
it moves around me
i imagine what will soon be

I imagine The Shepherd's Of Men
find Nokodemjon's Teaching
The Shepherd's Of Men
find The Creation
The Great One's Of Old Find Reality
The Great One's Of Old Find Nokodemjon's Teaching
and show Humanity
then humans live in Peace and Harmony
free of uncertainty and fear

I imagine the Shepherd's Of Men
find Nokodemjon's Teaching
The Shepherd's Of Men
find The Creation
and show Humanity how to be
they show Truth and Reality



You really are floating in The Creation

thanks Jacob for the It Is So meditation info, i had seen it on figu before but when you did an intro i realised its importance

(Nokodemjon is pronounced Nokodemion)
