7.7 There are two doors in "The Odyssey", the horn door and the ivory door. Dreaming is related to them. Another analogy in "Aeneid" is life and death. Philosophy in ancient Greece existed as a way of life. Later, when Emperor Constantine ascended the throne, Christianity gradually reached its peak. The mainstream established by Aristotle no longer exists. People have shifted from focusing on reality, nature and experience to focusing on transcendence and interiority. There is a world beyond this world, and individuals also have such a world inwardly.
But that's not new, that's what Plato's theory of ideas said, he said, we can see matter in the real world because there is a sun shining on them to make them visible, but we can't look directly at the sun. Then the world that can look directly at the sun is the world of transcendence. Postmodernism tries to get this feeling as much as possible, but it is so abstract that its absolute essence disappears. Sartre talks about existentialism, the responsibilities of each individual do not conceptualize them too much, it is all concrete actions, concrete consequences, not those mental representations, the more concrete, the more contingent, the more discrete, not heterogeneous, not special , not absolutely.
The explanation of life and death like reincarnation is too simple and too linear. The population has clearly doubled in 40 years, so there is a high chance that your soul will not be older than 40 years old. Free will is a third difference in the focus of Christian philosophy and ancient Greek philosophy, but we only live by the rules of physics, and the decisions we make come from the reactions of electricity and chemicals. There are rules we can't capture, like why we can share the same experience when the other person is who we are. Not physically connected, an invisible rule, like an invisible thread, connects these people, either stationary or moving, who choose certain behaviors for survival.
Everyone was talking about freedom, the self-immolators poured gasoline on their bodies, they sat cross-legged in the middle of the street and struck a match, while driving while preaching through the loudspeaker against the system of resistance, the prison was talking to itself about the future revenge, Shots in the chest at the gas station, one each at the bar, the old gentleman hanging from a telephone pole. They only do not talk, we only have theory but not practice. There are two kinds of torture in life, one is emptiness and the other is anger. Severing the vocal cords of everyone who can speak, we bring gasoline when there is a fire, breaking the continuum of everyday experience and all the normal thoughts that accompany it. Refuse to consume the spell of social ideology so that our more essential desires that are repressed will be fulfilled, thus proving the difference between the life we live now and the life we should have.
You see, he doesn't say these words so you can understand - why - if the user is the first, art is a commodity. The orangutan tried to explain in words and words at first, then chewed and swallowed the symbols. If even the language we use and the words we use are controlled by stable physical rules and flow in a linear direction, then we are destined to be unable to express those intangible perceptions. You have recorded your dreams. If you have recorded them, you will know that there is no way to record them. The most futile thing in the world is to rely on tools that conform to this set of linear rules for waking up to interpret intangible matter. .
Perception and behavior can be understood in dreams as well as in reality, with physical knowledge. You mistake it for real, because the neurons that suppress the hallucinations are no longer functioning, and you declare that the dream is deceptive. But what's deceptive can be the knowledge of physics, and what's deceptive can be the way you deal with reality. I may ask myself, am I dreaming now? I ask this question in my dream, but not when I wake up. Why don't I ask when I wake up? If I ask the same question when I wake up, then I will control the dream as well as in the dream. To apply that paradox explanation, to understand life is to live, to understand dreams is to dream, and to understand love is to love.
That's how lucid dreaming works, you realize you're dreaming, and you control it, whether you're actually asleep or awake, you can flick the switch on the room light, and if the light stays on, take advantage of it it. Experience all the joys and sorrows, but realize that they are repetitive and not new. Dreams mean death, but death does not mean death, death means being forgotten, no one reminds, so no one remembers that a kind of political mathematics physical chemistry biological history geography material existed. Disappearing in the language first, no need to call a symbol representing him, it gradually becomes transparent. At this time, you are not only represented by your body. For example, once you wear clothes in a dream, the clothes are also your body. If you wear shoes, the shoes are your feet.
Do you still want to solve it with real logic, ask yourself, where am I or what is happening. Why are you still asking these questions? What is your name, where do you live, what are you doing, what is your mother's maiden name, all these have to be recalled and then benefited from reality. For example, in a dream, you don’t recall these things, and you don’t plan to find out if everyone has a face. Everything is safely treated as just a symbol, only traces and unstable, no need for objective reason, dreamed Things are experienced again, creating a sense of sight. Why can the occurrence of that scene be accurately predicted, as a harbinger? Probably out of an invisible rule, like an invisible line, if everyone's independence is an illusion, the time everyone is using is also an illusion, a model.
"Half-Dream Life" is a movie, what's the story? There is no story, only the characters, and some of the gestures they make, moments, fragments, some emotions that are easier to capture and easier to pass. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Billy Wilder met Louis Mayer, who had just made a $2.5 million blockbuster, his most expensive film; Billy Wilder De asked him what the movie was about, and Louise Mayer said it was a story of dreams and dreams, and Billy Wilder said you wasted $2.5 million. These people must actually walk and sit in your eyes, but if they do, they are lazy. They have shape and are therefore inert, and feelings have no shape. So it must not be an end, but an inducement and a method. I've watched this movie many times, and every time I can't finish it. On the one hand I hate babbling, on the other I hate long-winding, listening to something I've heard over and over and being forced to determine what he wants to say. "Dream is destiny", the origami divination product gave such a sentence, sleep and wake up again, the time has just been from 10:12 to 10:13, which is your whole life.
