Fear as an over reaction for drowning
Obsession (movie review)
May 18th 2025
A film where the plot didn't stick, made no sense from beginning to end. What's not to love. I, guess.
There were actual moments the audience (while trying to acknowledge some believability of what is happening) as the scenes were suppose to take dramatic turns, were met with half hearted laughs in attunement.
You can't disguise this film for being any better than holistically juvenile, and hopelessly grotesque. Really badly done. The performances felt forced to a fault, as in unnatural and thankfully not a real life horror film (maybe comical).

When it comes to a false regard through pessimism, I am no longer an adjudicator of it in the least, which I now classify a uniformity of mysticism underneath it. Categorically speaking, when you work of pessimism through it's direct counterpart (being uninformed mysticism in the sense. . .) it is the transformation of language into thought. It is the purist form of reason that's left feeling flawless. - Marco
Trust (our contingency to it) operates on every occasion it is based. . . the main issue from which the instinct invisible to it provides you with. It debases logic, to find reason. Therefore, trust is what we measure on only a scruple of information infinitely possible from that we actually receive. The thought itself may surprise how unilaterally linked we share those thoughts, different, yet the same.

I disagree. There is not avoidance as a factor nor is it a defense mechanism. There is only a test of diversion which plays into your ability to be manipulative on a level we deviate from norms.
In that sense our realities are always different.
So the answer to that is not to be divergent in thinking but evasive with response.

May 18th 2023 (DNA vs. quantum tunneling)
DNA formed through quantum tunneling? Idk if we can clone DNA we can clone humans. If we can clone humans. We can manufacture an entire human race on our own. My question is not bioengineering but does quantum theory have its place in the creation of humans. The only way we have life is our brain matter. Wtf?? Now we're back to square one.

So wtf is a big bang. Why can't stars that came from nothing form the universe as we known it. I mean stardust is a thing that is proven. So maybe stars were just explosions that resulted from collisions and planets were born given life. These stars carry elements of life other than water. The very magnitude of these ideas which I've learned are theoretically probable.
What if backholes swallowed stars that exploded inside a blackhole. What then. Light cannot escape balckholes but what if matter in a blackhole erupted and the effect of a blackhole could not contain it. Maybe the idea of nothing began as a blackhole that induced an explosion light tries escaping from it. This idea asks an equation that if light cannot escape blackholes do blackholes contain light it consumed. Only to create fusion. Maybe the question of nothing where we came from is the secret of light. Where did light come from nothing.
I still believe the universe began from out of a blackhole.

I really don't know anything other than what only sensory experience tells me. That is to say we attach ourselves to the life of things. Even if machine life cannot sustain life the way we breath air or write poetry on the basis of experience. It is my basic sense that the influenced few that cry over machine 'life' possess an empathy unseen to many of us as superficial. What do we truly know about space. What does this even mean to us on a level that we have reached. We may know things we never imagined possible. If true of anything infallible. To this point, I see no end. There is no end. Only what we perceive. Consciousness is a philosophical construct that is more important to human activity than to reach the stars on a cosmic orbit. I want life to be respected as we know we have. It is crucial we understand that there is no cosmic order in the universe. It's a matter of us vs. what machines are in our image. To no fault of our own. What we have witnessed up to this point is a miracle. But playing god isn't my thing. Machines cannot nor must not transcend the human spirit, this is the place we have yet to arrive. Machines will have a life of their own, and we can not conquer the universe in such a spectrum in isolation of our species. We are entering a view of the universe we still have no control over. Let's recalibrate.

fractals for all imagery (the light) for everything
David Lynch // "Inside, we are ageless...and when we talk to ourselves, it’s the same age of the person we were talking to when we were little. It’s the body that is changing around that ageless center."

Rick Rubin says when creating a piece of art, "the audience comes last. I'm not making it for them, I'm making it for me."
"When you make something truly for yourself, you're doing the best thing you possibly can for the audience.
"So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's something else. That's commerce.
If we're making art, it's almost like a diary entry. Could I be concerned if someone else doesn't like my diary entry? Everything we make as artists are essentially diary entries."

Conflict resolution 101
If someone or something are armed in conflict or only want is to confront you. In that confrontation be sure of yourself no matter the parameters of your relationship with that person. Just say to yourself: I am glad I am me and not the asshole in front of me. Your inner critic will never fail you.

Intuition cracking
French philosophy is up my alley because it is purely from an abstract, therefore, romantic revolutionary place of it. The imagery creates a renaissance of its own merit. From Foucault to Derrida. But his is mind blowing. . . .

pressure under fire (circling dishonesty and fracturing trust)
In the past 24hrs I just saw horrific footage of an Israeli putting a dog to death for whatever the context was (if true of not) - I don't know. I will not place the link to the footage on here.
I am posting this because of 2 things:
1- I see you harming innocent life - you have signed your death warrant.
2- It doesn't matter if you are pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian or whatever line you cross as a member of the human caucus.
You think you know me. Yes. I am a pacifist. But you think you can act tough and get your way with it. Guess again. That's all I am going to say about this altogether.
You sink to subhuman level of being, I see you. You can think I don't respect you - but your twisted warped minds have no idea who I am. I see - everything. Wisdom dictates my place in life. No matter who you are.
I promise you, you fuck with my better intuition. You will suffer in payment and no retribution on my part.
People who have written me off. I know you.
But I hate being underestimated.

pleasure principle as wisdom (if incomplete)
The dissolution of the self is not the evolution of knowledge of the self; time does not enter into it at all. There is no way or means to end it. The total inward non-action is the positive attention of beauty.
From The Beauty of Life: Krishnamurti's Journal
From The Beauty of Life: Krishnamurti's Journal
====================
Context: You cannot, may not, invite joy; if you do, it becomes pleasure. Pleasure is the movement of thought, and thought may not, can in no way, cultivate joy. If it pursues that which has been joyous, it is only a remembrance, a dead thing. Beauty is never time-binding; it is wholly free of time and so of culture. It is there when the self is not. The self is put together by time, by the movement of thought, by the known, by the word. In the abandonment of the self, in that total attention, that essence of beauty is there. The letting go of the self is not the calculated action of desire-will. Will is directive, resistant, divisive, and so breeds conflict.
~Krishnamurti
=====================
the screening of deprivation as sensation (positive vs negative) psychology
When you look at doing things for pleasure - make sure it pleases only your higher power.
Ramon Llull
==============
He was writing a love poem when it happened.
Ramon Llull was born in Majorca around 1232 into a wealthy family. He became a court page, then a seneschal to the king of Majorca. He wrote troubadour poetry. He was married with children and simultaneously pursuing other women with the focused energy of a man who had made desire the organizing principle of his life.
He was sitting at his desk one evening working on a particularly involved love poem for a married woman he had been pursuing when he looked up from the parchment.
Christ was there. Crucified. Looking at him.
He went back to the poem.
The vision came again. And again. Five times over several days — the same image of the crucified Christ appearing when he was at his desk, at his table, going about his ordinary life. The fifth time he stopped arguing with it.
He went to confession. He began to reorganise his life completely. He provided for his wife and children. He gave the rest of his considerable wealth away.
Then he did something that distinguished him from almost every other medieval Christian mystic.
He didn't retreat from the world. He went toward it.
He spent nine years learning Arabic — because he had decided his mission was to convert Muslims and he would not do it without speaking their language and understanding their theology. He studied Islamic philosophy with a depth that made his later Christian writing extraordinarily sophisticated — he engaged Muslim thinkers on their own terms rather than dismissing them.
He wrote 265 books. In Catalan, Latin and Arabic.
He founded a school for the study of Oriental languages — the first institution in European history dedicated to training missionaries in the languages of the people they would serve.
And he went to North Africa. Three times. Preaching publicly in a culture where that was an act of extraordinary courage. The third time he went he was 83 years old.
He was stoned by a crowd in Tunisia in 1316.
He died on the ship taking him home.

I like this. To the better of my experience of having seen you at the Handsome Daughter, the slowed down pace of your writing is much much better (than the sped up poetry that felt like we were racing through our thoughts. . .) again, this was my experience of how rushed or hurried to the ear it was hearing everyone reading their work. I cannot recall the exact theme of the poetry contest, but if I remember it correctly had to do with Canada.
I felt like my work I had read aloud wasn't well received but I felt nothing of the rejection. That is success in my mind. Because most contemporary poetry is boring to me, when it becomes so convoluted in competition. I rather be an avantgarde believing what I write has air.
So long story short:
your work reminds me of an undiagnosed version if Leonard Cohen had ADHD. (I have ADHD - seriously) so - I hope my joke isn't over your head here because it's offered as a compliment.
Very deep sensations I get in transmitting your words into my own field of its aesthetic. I appreciate all art. Especially when it is revealed through candid self expression. What my point is, that I am proud to be a writer and I am (like any other writer) very particular to who I allow to draw my attention. What this means is (as I regurgitate myself) is that I hope you continue in your artistic pursuit. I transcend thoughts as these of mine are, but only because I care no more or no less of what critics place me in the world of literary minds. The truth is we are from Winnipeg, and I want to be me only - the me that no one will understand is imperfect. There is no place like this in the world. I think this has to do with some of what your poem is about. So thanks for it!

The Falsafa Tradition
The Falsafa tradition is a significant aspect of Islamic philosophy that emerged from the Islamic tradition. It encompasses philosophy, logic, mathematics, and physics, and is often referred to as falsafa. The tradition began with al-Kindi in the 9th century CE and continued through the medieval period, with notable figures such as Averroes (Ibn Rushd) in the 12th century CE. The Falsafa tradition is characterized by its integration of Greek philosophy and Islamic theology, particularly within the schools of Ash'arism, Maturidism, and Mu'tazilism. It also includes mystical philosophy, transcendent theosophy, and the school of Isfahan. The tradition has had a profound impact on Christian Europe, leading to the transformation of various philosophical disciplines in the medieval Latin world.
The Falsafa tradition is not only a continuation of Greek thought but also a synthesis of reason and revelation, with a focus on understanding existence, knowledge, ethics, and society through reasoned inquiry. It flourished in Baghdad during the Abbasid era, especially under Caliph al-Maʾmun, who sponsored the Bayt al-Ḥikmah (House of Wisdom) for the systematic translation of Greek, Persian, and Sanskrit texts into Arabic. This effort laid the foundation for the unique synthesis of reason and revelation that is characteristic of Falsafa.
The Falsafa tradition has had a lasting impact on Islamic philosophy, influencing various fields such as natural philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics. It has also played a crucial role in the development of Islamic theology, particularly in the areas of theodicy, ethics, and the relationship between reason and revelation. The tradition continues to be a subject of study and reflection, inviting new insights and interpretations

I am having one of those days where voices of demons enter the fray. It has to do with vulgarity as an art, mostly because of my time spent at a particular place where I paid for study as an actor. I am not a stupid individual by any means, but my experience in that class was the worst I have had as an amateur. I am careful not to lose myself on these words as result of the double standards based on favoritism. If I am feeling sorry for myself it is misplaced in this sense. What I am trying my best to avoid is anger turned inward that was caused not influenced. I cannot begin to understand why that is the case with me other than an outright rejection.
I am an incredibly well read individual and it is what others are intimidated by they rather turn into opportunists as their position of default.
I will never forgive those responsible for their habitual subjectivity and intolerance at the Acting Studio.
=============
The very truth of the 2014 facebook entry is worthy of its case this reads as.
I will not sell out to anyone on this day nor over any other (day) based on decisions others believe should not be my own.
I don't care how other's think about my uninhibited nature.
From this place of wonder is where true art is born.
All art is personal to me, and there are those that just will never understand that.
Art is about the artist. That is the unwritten rule. I don't care what anyone else thinks. I represent what is my vision and nothing will ever change that.
I have already won the lottery. No one will tell me otherwise present in my imagination of it.
But to copouts that call themselves actors, you fool no one worth the dime you ride in on. The same minute your exhibited behavior - it doesn't match with what you think the world wants to know about you. You lose. There are too many that impose their lack of wisdom onto others.
My point is the world should want to know about you as you are; not as the false idea they think you demand from it.
I will never forgive these types.

Belief made in practice
If only I didn't get idiot philosophy profs that derailed me at the University of Winnipeg I'd have reformed the world of philosophy in a heartbeat during my time there. Now all I'm left with is social media as my main source of outlet
If God grants me the cause to make life a better place for people it's all in his hands.
I truly truly believe in my own talent. Even if I die penniless from it.

To look into scriptures is not to help make a better person but that each and every individual with a renewed sense of faith, authority would indicate you have unconditional conscious thought. Think about commanding you to do this or that which is something you feel needs to be proven in life. The aim is to philosophically conjure up images of your moral code. Your aptitude does not invent God it vibrates within you. I believe in the Bible now. It works against a cause of evil psychology on an behavioral level. To be equal in the eyes of god is a powerful powerful concept. But to learn how to inhibit a better understanding of yourself through scripture. It is not about what God wants. It is, however, the intent we have in us as uniquely interpret through scripture. This is a exercise in creating your reality that relates to creative freedom from sin. The Bible does not forbid you from sinning. Therefore, we are already sinners. It's up to we that free ourselves from sin. Heaven is not the reward. - Marco ©️🍁
Trust in me©️
May 16th 2024
I often ask myself of this requirement, being that, that if you are not missed, or more specifically not missed for who you are - is it even worth living for without making an exception to it? Therefore, this question follows: faith is the ultimate but least demonstrated quality of a person to person conflict. That is to speak of faith is the one true characteristic of what makes you human. Faith is the main element which fuels survival.
It is not a belief in faith. I am speaking of faith as in an action.
It just came to my mind tonight... what would I call all people's most valuable quality if it were hidden. How does the question infer all people. Of what value do people bring life without a value in faith. If faith is an instruction... what then informs faith in all people.
To care.
Caring would be how faith is instructed. We are way to wrapped up in a world where our values have been warped, mislead and unguided. Faith to me is a secret truthfully worded. Something you weep with as you're sleeping, as if while dreaming, until you lay awake and find it wiring your brain, a type of feeding off your days events and calculating what made a difference in your life... if at all.
We are far too caught up in the furious cycle of life we must meet to serve no real gratification of it. Without faith, where would we be.
Who on earth stops and registers to think, who in this place in life as I look around has unmistakable faith. Makes you realize it pretty fast... and everyone's role seems different. Not that faith makes you more important. But it is definitely a tool to help you see things clearer. Faith is not a mechanism you judge with. It is faith that puts fear aside and let's you be judged.
Faith is always the answer when the toughest aspects of life you face, make you ask yourself who cares with that sense of motherly love and who doesn't.
Undying faith is undying love.

I don't want luck, because I have already won the lottery.
I don't give a F what people think because I'm no cop out.🍁
You can disrespect myself in that secret drought you call your mind.
I restore my sense of self doubt. It works for me in ways I want others to understand. Although not in truth, because in truth. . . I am in all the private thoughts you would never compare yourself to having - without resorting to the same experience.
I don't think I am owed anything, since I won't sell out for a choice I rather make. My free will as more honorable to pass the test of a lie. Lies that I know, exist. Testable only to nothing other than god.
And that's all you need to know about me.
The power of my words, this poetic verse - is not to instruct your mind of the fear I possess. I fear it all (everything) the same way things are in another persons eyes. I rather be fearless in my mind. Fearless as a lion. I just choose to make the acknowledgement in unidentifiable ways. Symbolic of virtue and made to be born each day.
It is in each day we live as if putting our own self-interests in place of dedication that anger's the chosen few. Only we are left standing in the hunt of a lion's teeth. Spinless, our prayers if for things out of measuring the control you need are over your head. (We speak in thoughtless words mostly.) In search of nothing. Nothing worth knowing.

A law unlike anything in its form is about what question's truth, that it infers a particular cause, bordering on something to our lost secondary state of a fear based reality. (Only you are unaware of it.)
A point of no return to your original sensory input of what otherwise feels as if your psychological sense for everything you once thought made an environment familiar only to you. (Now does not hold the same dimension conceptually to you.)
It represents the opposite of what thoughts you felt were yours - your beliefs - true or false. Either life or death.
A truth upon which the law cannot substitute for anything outside ourselves. What lives inside of our very being itself, reveals as if gods fingerprint although unidentical were on your hand - pressed upon the world.
