Back into boxes and philosophy
My head is back on painting boxes again. Again, I also find myself anxious about whether they/re as nice as I think they are. Until they start to sell, I guess I'll worry. I worry about how much I'm investing in them. It's costing real money! I spent another hundred on paint this weekend. I've invested probably close to $500 in this hobby. Don't tel Dan, he's not paying atteniton. Anyway, at $25/box I need to sell 20 of them to break even. I haven't even made that many, although I'm hot on the chase.
considered as a crazy hobby it's no worse than any other really and I do love both the painting and the sight of these boxes quite a bit. if anyone says "you should sell these" I'll say "Okay, which one you want?" LOL
I called Dan's mom to facetime today. She tried us both yesterday but I was busy painting and Dan was at work so she couldn't get either of us. I think she really enjoys seeing us. She seems one of those people who really values the visual part of human interaction.
I enjoyed some deep epiphanies today that I'd lost track of. I still don't know how to explain it uniquely and I still think that the deep stuff is scoffed at when it comes from a nobody woman without any proper indoctrination via education and credentialling.
However, this guy was asking "why does anything exist?" Firstly I thought, the question can only be asked by something. the question itself is a something. So you start drilling it down, and drilling it down. What is "something" and why is it present?
So I thought, well, it's all just vapourware made of random "energy" and all connected. In fact, it's all just one something, that which we call "energy" at it's most simple understanding. Then the idea came to me, it's pure imagination in the mind of One who is All of us. We are It, It is Us. You, me, and the doorpost are all components of one great self awareness. It's imagining, a daydream if you like, and we are it's dream. It's examining itself by virtue of our experiences in our dreaming world. The possibilities are so near to infinite that the dream goes on and on and on, and should the dream exhaust itself, the dreamer will blink a moment, pause, then begin reflecting on the dream just finished, dreaming it again as an author proof reads his work, making changes if there is any possibility not yet explored in what can be imagined. In this way the whole existence of the universe has a moment of blackness and becoming which we call the "the Big Bang." Then it returns nearly the same as before and plays out again, mostly as it did, but with all those changes we all keep thinking up "gee, if this was changed this way we'd get this." Remember, every thought you have ever had is actually you, as God, having that thought, and whatever you learn and discover enriches that Deity which is also you and your fellow Earthlings. As we humans and other earthlings dream up new experiences, discover new places, and stretch the boundaries of this dream, the dream continues to expand in response.
Dark matter? Maybe it's just stuff we haven't imagined up yet. And remember, when, I say "we" it includes God, who is us, who are God, which comes from us while it creates us. Complicated eh? The simple answer is, relax, just work on being positive and let the rest sort itself out.
