oh what a harrowing ordeal
to have a brain and have to feel
love and pain and fear and sorrow

steal what you cannot borrow
soon today will be tomorrow
throw away whatever isn’t real

And finally this question, the mystery of whose story it will be. Of who draws the curtain. Who is it that chooses our steps in the dance? Who drives us mad? Lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it, that does all of these things?
Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time sings that we will never die? Who teaches us what’s real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we’ll die to defend? Who chains us? And who holds the key that can set us free… It’s you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!
-Sucker Punch (2011)

not a great film, but worth seeing for this ending narration

“MANIFESTINATION” by Jonathan Solter

“Nature is a temple in which living pillars
Sometimes give voice to confused words;
Man passes there through forests of symbols
Which look at him with understanding eyes.

Like prolonged echoes mingling in the distance
In a deep and tenebrous unity,
Vast as the dark of night and as the light of day,
Perfumes, sounds, and colors correspond.”

— Charles Baudelaire “Correspondences”

“This is a Turkish Alevi folk song based on the poetry of Asik Dertli (1772-1845). Alevi philosophy is centralized on the belief that God is not an external force to be worshiped, but rather an undefined force of power which exists within every human being. Therefore by perfecting one’s self, one arrives at truth, love and true knowledge, one arrives to God.“

Max Cooper and Tom Hodge - Remnants - Official Video by Nick Cobby from Max Cooper on Vimeo.

“This video is about the self-contained nature of mind and matter.
The physical processing of sounds by the brain leave remnants in its structure as it learns about the outside world. Eventually the universe and the platonic realm of laws and structures are perceived. But while the natural laws and their resulting universe seem to create and contain the mind, the mind ultimately contains them all.”
