My world is myself. It is complete and perfect. this sounds like Paris Hilton... or Brittany Spears.. or any number of hospitalized mental patients. and maybe George Bush had this idea for 8 years as well. if those types are your heroes as well.. it becomes clear why you like this quote, you want to be just like your homies there. say tim.. you already think you are! they're all on the inside of you i think you've said. LOL! >Every impression is erased, every experience -- rejected. but i wont reject this idea of rejection. that's my story and i'm stickin' to it. and there they will come: all the suckers to my field of dreams. they'll quote me and think themselves cool. i love this gig! that's what my guru told me.. and i've been repeating it ever after. boy was that dude right! >I need nothing, not even myself, for myself I cannot lose. well actually i need to keep on telling myself this crap..i do. sometimes it gets lost. sometimes i wish i could lose my " self " but i've never gotten beyond that you see? i cling to that little bastard as a self important teacher. but at least i have these fawning disciples who quote me.. they think i'm cool so.. i'm good enough..i'm smart enough..and doggone it people like me. they love me they love me they love me! Liza..where's my Oscar? > Q: Not even God? > > M: All these ideas and distinctions exist in your world; in mine there is nothing of the kind. My world is single and very simple. and that's why i'm here existing in your world.. to tell you and hopefully have you believe in... some " other " world.. (which for lack of a better term i'll call " my world).. in which there is nothing of the kind. it's an encounter of the third kind if you can believe that. i've seen spacemen too. but none are as spacey as me. except maybe Kevin Spacey. he's good! LOL! ..b b.b. > -- from " I Am That " from: " i just bet the hell you are! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So - is each and every one of us his own world then? If so is, can I know you? Or can I only know myself? But I know, that I am the world, this is to say: I am you, (ie there is but the perceived) so not only CAN I know you - I DO know you, for you are me, and I know me, meaning: I know I am the perceived and that THAT is nothing, nobody What M was going on about referring to 'his world' is also me. Obviously he did not know that I for my part (what?) is of course happy to learn that I am complete and perfect, ha ha Ok. Perhaps there are as many realities as there are people and perhaps you and I are two worlds communicating with one another but nevertheless it is a fact that those two worlds is the one and same world, and that world is the appearency of absolute-ly nothing. -Lene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So - is each and every one of us his own world then? - as long " you " take yourself for this " your " world....there are other worlds....like " you " .... means, appearent others " who " are also this " their " world If so is, can I know you? Or can I only know myself? - " you " can only know yourself....but if you realy know yourself.....you know the real nature of this appearent others too But I know, that I am the world, this is to say: I am you, (ie there is but the perceived) so not only CAN I know you - I DO know you, for you are me, and I know me, meaning: I know I am the perceived and that THAT is nothing, nobody -beside this your logic and concepts.... yes! the percieved is you....and THAT is nothing, nobody. What M was going on about referring to 'his world' is also me. Obviously he did not know that I for my part (what?) is of course happy to learn that I am complete and perfect, ha ha -the world of M is unknown.... there is nobody who could know It... even he for himself isn't interested in " knowing it " ....because he know that he know Ok. Perhaps there are as many realities as there are people and perhaps you and I are two worlds communicating with one another but nevertheless it is a fact that those two worlds is the one and same world, and that world is the appearency of absolute-ly nothing. -there are no worlds at all...
