      Just to let you know, when you sleep you can have your family visit you, even if they are dead... if you listen to Terence enough, and sleep enough you will realize that this "other place" you experience every night by your pineal gland making DMT to dream as we sleep (science proves this), so what I call "travel" but people call dreaming/astral projection, is the reason I say travel is because it's a real world.... You can go there too and come back and recall very little, but it's a real world. You get massive amounts of information if you remember what you dreamt.

This clip has always moved me, but never meant more than it does during these agonizing moments. Thank you so much, WPAHP. What you do is a true service to humanity. Godspeed, my love.

      @@Joe-kn3wt The 'changing of the seat' reminds me of Zhuangzi's parable of the dreaming butterfly. Forgive me if you know it. Paraphrasing it the way the story goes is that Zhuangzi was remembering a time when he was dreaming he was a butterfly, and in the dream he was only the butterfly and no longer Zhuangzi, happy and fluttering around, but when he awoke he realized he was solid Zhuangzi. But at that moment he was no longer certain if he had been Zhuangzi dreaming he was a butterfly, or if he were now a butterfly dreaming of being Zhuangzi.

      @@Joe-kn3wt An interesting question/thought. There is something i like about Plato's literary technique in his dialogues. The structure of the Symposium is interesting, we are confronted with characters speaking, one of which 'begins' to recall a story, we are then brought into that story and from there are led to where Socrates 'begins' to tell another story in recollection. We are then never brought back to the two who originally began the recollection, but 'finish' with the words of one of the characters within the recollection, himself recollecting. As i say this i am reminded that i am recollecting 'my' recollection of the Symposium which was indeed constructed from Plato's own recollections. A lot of recollecting of recollections in the one moment.

    I've been thinking recently... that sex is a return to nothingness. Not nothingness in a bad sense, but just in the "space between" sense. We're all made of atoms, and atoms are mostly made up of empty space that's between these subatomic particles. And yet often we identify with the me that says "i'm all of this and that and i'm going somewhere". And the orgasm reminds us that we are also the space-between. The unmanifested. The void. It makes our mind go blank.
    I guess that's why the French call it a "little death".

      @@hb3528 I first came across this saying around 20 years ago in India....the (much shortened) story goes....a maharaja earnestly sought the company of a wise old holy man...the holy man refused for many years....eventually he sent the ruler two pieces of paper......one to be opened at his very happiest moment....the other to only be opened on his saddest......on opening both slips of paper at the relevant moment.....the message was revealed to read...."this too shall pass"...perhaps Terrence came across the tale their too....or maybe the elves have been whispering in ears for aeons!

    the one thing i disagree with here is that, i think love and connection lasts. i can feel it even when separated psychically. It's like when you're in a forest in winter and the leaves are gone but you feel the forest around you and you can listen to the wind brush against the trees.

    "Nothing lasts", This might not be true at all. Firstly he is contradicting himself because I#m pretty sure he also talks about eternity. Also talks about God.
    But here we are, at what point do we agree that even scarier might be that we will always be here forever.

      Finally someone who thinks about it and doesnt get his mind hijacked by supposedly self-evident "hard truths". My own experience points more towards a "everything lasts" stance if anything.
