What did Watts really mean?!

"If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, did it actually happen? If a universe is to exist but no one is conscious to experience it, did it ever really exist? That is what Watts means when he says "black implies white, self implies other, life implies death." The material existence, implies the immaterial consciousness. For a universe to exist, it needs someone to exist within it. Likewise, for someone to exist it needs a universe to exist within. We as conscious creatures are fundamental to the nature of reality. If there was a god of this reality, he would want to play a game of pretending he wasn't god. He would choose to have a dream in which he has forgotten that he is dreaming. If you were god, you would actually choose to live the life that you are currently living. One life that exists within the infinite multiplicity of possible lives there are to live. You chose to live as though you were living for the first time, each time; and to live as though when you die, you'll never live again. We are all part of god's dream. We are all living out a beautiful life full of raw emotion, gripping stories, love, loss, peace, suffering, successes and failures. Each of our lives are an amazing adventure each worth experiencing. This life will take you wherever you want it to go, as you continue to play the game of pretending you aren't god." However, keep in mind that I think there's a great potential in such teachings, in that they have the power to change the world.

The Thing less talked about...

When I see strangers that look nice, and I know that this was the first and last time I’d see them, I feel like writing my story about my different state of consciousness that is on the other side of the emotional spectrum, not the positive one, and I want to enter into a positive state of consciousness, different from the usual ones. The courage of my mind is not merely enough to proceed any further with anything at all, however. And I feel like I have died and I just have the false perception of still living the same life. Oh wonder, how things will work out, not being aware of just how bad things are. And yet you keep trying to push me, force me, to undergo life as though it’s a positive experience despite my inner despairities. It's something that only gets worse with time. After all, shouldn’t life be about pleasure, not pain, and/or perhaps one shouldn’t obsess over pain but over pleasure, and be addicted instead to pleasure rather than pain...

My future vision of this week...

I have a vision of this week, most likely on Thursday: "The truth about happens on Thursday, March 21, 2019, will be unveiled to the world news, and the news will report on it using a negative connotation. Violence will ensue Friday night, exactly two days after the start of astronomical spring. And the first day of the season, the 20th of March, a strange occurrence in the United States, and a controversy. But out of all that's been on my mind, it's a vision that is most surprising...one that describes something, a dark but quick moving object, descending down to Earth" It's that time of year, again, when strange stuff starts to happen, and I honestly wish that it didn't, that instead more peaceful stuff could happen. I'm not one to say stuff with certainty each time, though, I'm just gathering data, either that or using intuition
