I was in a park..
There were lots of people there. Walking around , all kinds of activities going on..
I saw a pond , it just caught my attention.. I saw a man dive into it..
Thought it was kind of strange because it should not be that deep..
Next thing I see is a Large lizard crawling out of it.. the lizard was black and white in color.. It was definitely not a crocodile or alligator I noted.. looked different.. really looked like a human sized lizard..
I was too shocked to say anything .. it was crawling about among the people.. and to my amazement they did not seem to notice a thing..
It was shocking because this thing was obviously out of place..I was still staring at it..I knew it saw me and was aware I could see it when obviously others could not.. It started towards me.. so I kind of shut off then and woke up.. was like turning off the dream tv by waking up

Had a dream I was looking at a bunch of screens.. lots of tiny television screens.. they were lined up.. looked exactly like the architect and the room he was in the matrix..
On the screens were random events.. lots of different things going on... on one was a beach scene..another underwater.. crowd of people walking on the street..
etc. etc..
I was trying to look at all the screens.. then all of a sudden an orca appeared on the screen directly in front of me..
It surprised me because even though I knew there was a screen I could tell that the Orca could see me.. like there really was no barrier..
I suddenly realized the screens were not actually screens but they seemed to be openings to portals of other worlds..
I had noticed some other people standing there in front of the screen also.. I told them "come see this dolphin".. there was a knowing and I knew it was surprised that I could see it.. (I called it dolphin but it was actually an orca)
then the dolphin/orca swam away on that screen went to my right of that screen..next thing I know it came out of the wall ..
...I saw it from out of the corner of my eye..because I was still looking at the screen where I first saw it..
It swam up to me and playfully pushed me and gently bit me..then it swam through the wall on the left..the Orca did a complete circle..

and that's all folks!

Very interesting article on society today... how we experience life process our thoughts and feelings..
..this is all fact.. the situation in society is that we busy ourselves with things and we even fool our own selves into believing it is real..

Click on the link to read the entire article

MAIN ARTICLE & EXPERIMENT <------- Link , if you scroll down to bottom of page you will find more links on the subject..

Please note : The article has been written in short sentences rather than paragraph-form because it is about subjective experience/ emotion/reduction of thought.

Subject : In a fast society slow emotions become extinct.
Subject : A thinking mind cannot feel.
Subject : Scientific/ Industrial/ Financial thinking destroys the planet.
Subject : Environment can never be saved as long as cities exist.

Emotion is what we experience during gaps in our thinking.

If there are no gaps there is no emotion.

Today people are thinking all the time and are mistaking thought (words/ language) for emotion.

When society switches-over from physical work (agriculture) to mental work (scientific/ industrial/ financial/ fast visuals/ fast words ) the speed of thinking keeps on accelerating and the gaps between thinking go on decreasing.

There comes a time when there are almost no gaps.

People become incapable of experiencing/ tolerating gaps.

Emotion ends.

Man becomes machine.

A society that speeds up mentally experiences every mental slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety.

A ( travelling )society that speeds up physically experiences every physical slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety.

A society that entertains itself daily experiences every non-entertaining moment as Depression / Anxiety.

FAST VISUALS /WORDS MAKE SLOW EMOTIONS EXTINCT.

SCIENTIFIC /INDUSTRIAL /FINANCIAL THINKING DESTROYS EMOTIONAL CIRCUITS.

A FAST (LARGE) SOCIETY CANNOT FEEL PAIN / REMORSE / EMPATHY.

A FAST (LARGE) SOCIETY WILL ALWAYS BE CRUEL TO ANIMALS/ TREES/ AIR/
WATER/ LAND AND TO ITSELF.

Please note:
(1) A THINKING MIND CANNOT INTENSIFY / SUSTAIN ANY EMOTION.
While this statement is generally true for all emotions, it is
particularly true for all painful emotions.

(2) In a society in which visual ( verbal ) speed and breathing- rates
are fast , pain / remorse / empathy cannot be experienced. It is
impossible.


PROOF.
Proof of the link between pain and slow visuals / words :-

In the last century man has made thousands of movies / films on various
themes / subjects. Whenever pain / tragedy is shown in any film the
visuals ( scenes ) and words ( dialogues ) are always slowed down. In
many films tragedy is shown in slow motion. At the most intense moment
of pain the films almost become static / stationary.

Tragedy-films provide direct proof / evidence of the link between pain
and slowness.

Pain can intensify / sustain only when visual ( and verbal ) speed slows
down( stops/ freezes).


CHANGE IN VISUAL SPEED OVER THE YEARS

One thousand years ago visuals would change only when man physically
moved himself to a new place or when other people ( animals / birds )
and objects ( clouds / water ) physically moved themselves before him.

Today man sits in front of TV / Computer and watches the rapidly
changing visuals / audio.

He sits in a vehicle ( car / train / bus ) and as it moves he watches
the rapidly changing visuals.

He turns the pages of a book / newspaper / magazine and sees many
visuals / text in a short span.

The speed of visuals ( and words ) has increased so much during the last
one hundred years that today the human brain has become incapable of
focussing on slow visuals /words through perception, memory, imagery.

If we cannot focus on slow visuals / words we cannot experience emotions
associated with slow visuals /words.

Before the advent of Industrial Revolution Man's thinking was primarily
limited to :

(a) visual processing ( slow visuals )
(b) verbal / language processing ( slow words )

Today there are many kinds of fast thinking :

(1) visual processing ( fast visuals )
(2) verbal / language processing ( fast words )

If visual / verbal processing is fast we cannot feel slow emotions.

(3) Scientific / Technical thinking ( fast )
(4) Industrial thinking ( fast )
(5) Business thinking ( fast )

(3), (4) & (5) ARE ASSOCIATED WITH NUMBERS / SYMBOLS / EQUATIONS /
GRAPHS /CIRCUITS / DIAGRAMS / MONEY / ACCOUNTING etc

As long as the mind is doing this kind of thinking it cannot feel any
emotion - not an iota of emotion.

In a fast society slow emotions become extinct.
In a thinking ( scientific / industrial ) society emotion itself becomes extinct.

EMOTION IS WHAT REMAINS IN THE MIND WHEN VISUAL /VERBAL PROCESSING SLOWS
DOWN (STOPS/ FREEZES )

There are certain categories of people who feel more emotion (subjective experience ) than others.

If we attempt to understand why (and how ) they feel more emotion we can learn a lot about emotion.

Writers, poets, actors, painters ( and other artists )

There are some important points to be noted :

(4) All these people do visual & verbal processing - whole day - every day.
(5) They do slow visual & verbal processing.
(6) They do not do scientific / industrial / business processing whole day - every day.

Most of the city people doing mental work either do this kind of mental processing which is associated with NUMBERS / SYMBOLS/ Equations / Graphs / CIRCUITS / DIAGRAMS / MONEY / ACCOUNTING etc or they do fast visual ( verbal ) processing whole day - every day.

This kind of thinking ( processing ) has come into existence only during the last 200 years and has destroyed our emotional ability ( circuits ).

Because of physical work and slow visual/verbal processing in small(slow)agriculture based societies of the past, the mind used to experience a state of emotion all the time. If we read one thousand-year-old literature we will not come across the term "boredom" -the concept of boredom did not exist in slow societies. There were long gaps between different visuals and between words/ sentences -and people had the ability to experience/ tolerate the gaps -it was normal for them.

Emotion can intensify / sustain only when visual / verbal processing slows down ( stops / freezes ). In an Industrial (thinking) society people experience very little emotion because of fast ( visual / verbal / scientific / industrial / business ) thinking

IN A FAST SOCIETY SLOW EMOTIONS BECOME EXTINCT.

(1) A thinking species destroys the planet.
(2) Animals lived on earth for billions of years (in very large numbers) without destroying nature.
(3) They did not destroy nature because their thinking / activity was limited to searching for food for one time only.
(4) Man has existed on earth in large numbers for only a few thousand years / a few hundred years.
(5) Within this short period Man has destroyed the environment.
(6) This destruction took place because of Man's thinking.
(7) When man thinks he makes things.
(8) When he makes things he kills animals / trees / air / water / land.
( Nothing can be made without killing these five elements of nature ).
(9) A thinking species destroys the planet.

There was a time when Man knew nothing about the number of species and millions of species existed.
Today Man knows the names of millions of species and nothing is left of the species.

MENTAL WORK IS INJURIOUS TO THE MIND AND PLANET.
There is no higher purpose behind work.

People do not work because they want to work.
People work because they cannot stop working.

People cannot stop physical activity and mental activity (simultaneously) for even 2 minutes.

For most people it is a choice between physical and mental work.
The switch-over from physical work to mental work is disastrous for the planet.

Man can do the same physical work every day.
Man cannot do the same mental work every day.

When man used to do physical work ( farming and related activities ) he could do the same repetitive work day after day- generation after generation.

After the Industrial Revolution when man switched-over to mental work he
began a never ending process of making new machines / things / products-- a process which can only end with the complete destruction of environment ( planet ).

The nature of mental work is such that man has to do new mental work every day-in fact he has to do new mental work every moment- Man cannot do in the next moment the mental work that he has already done in the previous moment.

A mathematician cannot solve the same problem of mathematics every day-once he has solved it he will be forced to take up a new( unsolved) problem. Even when he is solving one particular problem he has to move from one step to another - there is a continuous change involved -- there is no constancy at any stage.

An engineer cannot design the same machine again and again once he has made a machine he will try to make changes/ design a new one.

A writer cannot write the same article every day-he will be forced to write something new every day/ every moment (This is also the reason behind endless discussions/ debates/ arguments).

AS LONG AS CITIES EXIST WE CAN NEITHER SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT NOR THE MIND.

To save the ( remaining ) environment from destruction man will have to return back to physical work ( smaller communities ).

To save the mind from mental diseases man will have to return back to physical work ( smaller communities ).

Environment can be saved only if we stop production of most ( more than 99% ) of the consumer goods we are making today.

ENVIRONMENT CANNOT BE SAVED BY RECYCLING
TRYING TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT BY RECYCLING IS LIKE SHOOTING SOMEONE 10,000 TIMES AND THEN TRYING TO SAVE HIM BY TAKING OUT ONE BULLET.

The following is about to come true.

Nature can exist
(1) before man.
(2) after man.
(3) not with man.

Time is running out for this planet.
We are in the last 20 years.


Yours Sincerely,

Please note :
Fast emotions =emotions associated with fast visuals/fast words/fast breathing/fast heart-rate.
Slow emotions=emotions associated with slow visuals/slow words/slow breathing/slow heart-rate.
Rate of thinking=number of visuals/words processed per minute.
Gaps between thinking =gaps between visuals/ words/ sentences.

Waking Life is one of my favorite movies, and dreaming one of my favorite things to do.. Here are some quotes from the movie and quotes on dreaming.. whether anyone agrees or not it is something to think about..Hope you Enjoy!!

You can have so much damn fun in your dreams. And, of course, everyone knows FUN RULES. -Waking Life

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. In their grey visions they obtain glimpses of eternity. -Edgar Allen Poe

In itseIf the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream- Rene Margritte

It is on the whole probably that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it.- Carl Jung

Hey, are you a dreamer? ..... Yeah....... I haven't seen too many around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore. It's not dead it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting. -Waking Life

"What dreaming does is give us the fluidity to enter into other worlds by destroying our sense of knowing this world...Dreaming is a journey of unthinkable dimensions, a journey that, after making us perceive everything we can humanly perceive,makes the assemblage point jump outside the human domain and perceive the inconceivable."- Carlos Castenada

"I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.".- Eugene Ionesco

"I dreamed of myself in a dream, and told the dream, which was mine, as if it were another person's of whom I dreamed. Indeed what is life when thinking of the past, but dreaming of a dream dreamt by another who seems to be oneself?" -Stopford Brooke

I do not know how to distinguish between our waking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we imagine we are?- -Thoreau

I cannot be awake
for nothing looks to me
as it did before,
Or else I am awake for the first time,
and all before has been a mean sleep.-Walt Whitman

Doesn't it make sense that death too would be wrapped in a dream? That after death, your conscious life would continue in what might be called a dream body?-Waking Life

They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life?-Waking life

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the un-rightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow the star No matter how hopeless,
no matter how far
To fight for the right without question or pause
To be willing to pass into hell for a heavenly cause
And know if I'll only be true to the glorious quest
That my heart lies peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered in scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow the star
No matter how hopeless,no matter how far
To fight for the right without question or pause
And to dream the impossible dream. -Man of La Mancha

But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet Tread softly because you tread onmy dreams. -William Butler Yeats

Those who have compared our life to a dream were right. . . . We sleeping wake and waking sleep. - Michael Montaigne

Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

The worst mistake that you can make is to think you're alive when really you're asleep in life's waiting room.-Waking life

always find myself in a dream where I am swimming underwater...
sometimes there are whales there swimming with me..
..anyway I live underwater as a human in this dream.. I can breathe ..
maybe I have gills.. who knows? I never check in the dream..
I swim in all these underground tunnels.. one leading to the next..
the last tunnel entrance is so small that I it is hard to get into.. I always dread going into this last tunnel..
...and the last tunnel leads to some kind of ancient ruins.. another world..
where people live underwater...
...I go there and when I wake up I only remember going through the tunnels and vague memory of the place.. feels like my memory gets wiped..

What is this about?

This is about Internet freedom. "Network Neutrality" -- the First Amendment of the Internet -- ensures that the public can view the smallest blog just as easily as the largest corporate Web site by preventing Internet companies like AT&T from rigging the playing field for only the highest-paying sites.

But Internet providers like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending millions of dollars lobbying Congress to gut Net Neutrality. If Congress doesn't take action now to implement meaningful Net Neutrality provisions, the future of the Internet is at risk.

What is Network Neutrality?

Network Neutrality — or "Net Neutrality" for short — is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet.

Net Neutrality ensures that all users can access the content or run the applications and devices of their choice. With Net Neutrality, the network's only job is to move data — not choose which data to privilege with higher quality service. Net Neutrality prevents the companies that control the wires from discriminating against content based on its source or ownership.

Net Neutrality is the reason why the Internet has driven economic innovation, democratic participation, and free speech online. It's why the Internet has become an unrivaled environment for open communications, civic involvement and free speech.

Who wants to get rid of Net Neutrality?

The nation's largest telephone and cable companies — including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner — want to be Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow and which won't load at all.

They want to tax content providers to guarantee speedy delivery of their data. They want to discriminate in favor of their own search engines, Internet phone services, and streaming video — while slowing down or blocking their competitors.

These companies have a new vision for the Internet. Instead of an even playing field, they want to reserve express lanes for their own content and services — or those from big corporations that can afford the steep tolls — and leave the rest of us on a winding dirt road.
