“I am here again and now over there and perhaps over there as well or maybe here. Yes, that’s it. Smile”= Peek-a-boo
A bundle of thoughts hm:) before I start let’s see what google has to say about golden threads and yarns and stuff. *searches* Yay! Look what I found:D! http://www.noogenesis.com/pineapple/magic_thread.html
Perfect, just perfect. So, before I begin here comes the almost matching introduction - excerpt from a French tale(that’s what the webpage author said):
“. . . Often he wandered through the forest, dreaming of the future. Sometimes he lay down on the soft forest floor in the warm sun, his hands behind his head, staring up at the sky through the distant treetops. One hot afternoon as he began to grow sleepy, he heard someone calling his name. He opened his eyes and sat up. Standing before him was an old woman. In her hand she held a silver ball, from which dangled a silken golden thread.
"See what I have got here, Peter," she said, offering the ball to him.
"What is it?" he asked curiously, touching the fine golden thread.
"This is your life thread," the old woman replied. "Do not touch it and time will pass normally. But if you wish time to pass more quickly, you have only to pull the thread a little way and an hour will pass like a second. But I warn you, once the thread has been pulled out, it cannot be pushed back in again. It will disappear like a puff of smoke. The ball is for you. But if you accept my gift you must tell no one, or on that very day you shall die. Now, say, do you want it?"” I am not done reading the tale I will read it after I am done writing:)So:
“I am here again and now over there and perhaps over there as well or maybe here. Yes, that’s it. Smile”= Peek-a-boo
Object permanence - what we as adults keep struggling to comprehend in the age of internet . . . For example: “If I haven’t met you IRL then blahblah bla”(the justification).
Also, You don't have to have(or refer to)a tactile experience to really experience. We also struggle with the etymological permanence of words(?). Funny coincidence and out of context for the moment, It gave me the giggles when I encountered it and I want to share(in the age of nonstop cybersharing) and I want to share before I forget it! On chrome when you want to empty your catch etc. You can use the menu at the top to select the amount of data that you want to delete. What gave me the giggles while reading was the following: “Select beginning of time to delete everything“(. . . did you catch that?!! What a mega – Hint for the philosophically inclined minds!*wink*wink* & lol =) “beginning of time” A more detailed explanation can be found here as well I am not in the mood for details right now: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582
Anyway, back to what I wanted to understand. Some say that once upon a time society was the child and nowadays society is a teenager but if I understood right . . . we are not older than two years old? . . . and more specifically and according to wiki(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_permanence):
“5. 12–18 months: Tertiary Circular Reaction – The child gains means-end knowledge and is able to solve new problems. The child is now able to retrieve an object when it is hidden several times within his or her view, but cannot locate it when it is outside their perceptual field”
Impermanence & permanence almost like reading and writing. Writing is reading itself Reading is writing itself and without each other they are nothing. The opposites exist simultaneously otherwise they wouldn’t exist. I can write coherently because I know how to read (hm). I read because I know how to write BUT I don’t know WHY you read and HOW you read when you write, HOW you comprehend words etc. etc.( Aaah I so enjoy silence. . . .)
“If I say that everything else even you is just an excuse, a chance to focus on something else than . . . am sure you know what I mean.”
Besides the permanence and impermanence issue what the Internet interactions are actually teaching us is perhaps the following thought – chain, nothing new, it happens in our IRL interactions as well:
Since when do you (I) care about someone else’s opinion when you( me too not only you)make sure to provide or “be” what is needed in order to make it possible(?) - make it possible for the other person to “form” the opinion you want them to have for you in order to be able to communicate and be(one can only hope) your true self while doing so ? It’s gratifyingly stupid to pull the strings. Oh and as Bela Lugosi says on youtube while buffaloes run and rumble like the thunder: “Pull the string! Pull the string! A mistake is made! A story must be told!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-8j8c7iL3E Perhaps, but not now.
I am where my words are and when you are done reading I still am who I keep becoming after I was done writing the words while trying to capture the moment, be present. If I was where my words are then I would never learn and always be the same . . . but I am still the same, find me in these words: I assume that I can dream about reality's future Therefore I continue to believe that I have the right to exist beyond the given limitations of reality´s past
