Everytime I hear Brown-Eyed Women, it makes me want to live back in the roaring twenties.

I have met some people that seem to have an aire about them that is not of this time,

and it makes me wonder about the possibility of reincarnation.

Maybe we are just shapeshifting pawns,

destined to find ourselves crossing paths and shaking hands

in strange times and distant lands

to serve a higher purpose than we would ever be made aware.



I get the exact same feelings.
I also get a feeling that certain folks have been around since the beginning of time. I often feel that there is a core group which has; or at least a core group which I have seen around in past lives since the beginning of life cycles.

it's funny you should mention that...cause I, myself, have always felt like one of those types personally here  :smirk:

every time I start feeling like it's high time to break free from this mess once an for all though - I gradually come to the realization that I've done it all before, and this is the same old drama I've experienced a thousand times over (just, you know, under a different set of circumstances) and then I remind myself that if I were able to pull through it then - then all I have to do is reach down within myself and pull out that same inner strength that pulled me through this same bullshit the last time I went through whatever it was that I thought was so overbearing at the time, an keep on trucking knowing damn well that it WILL most definitely get better again...eventually

and sometimes I wonder why I keep at it if life's just gonna recycle the same ol crap over and over again anyway...but then I remind myself that just because the underlying principal of things are the same - that by NO means makes it experiences themselves the same (much in the same way as the never ending battle of 'good vs evil' will indefinitely be portrayed through art/music/film forever and ever...but... always with new plots/characters/etc in the process)

life is like an infinitely complex kaleidoscope of sorts in that sense  :cheers:

I feel that exactly.
It's the same old dramas, stories, conflicts, etc being repeated.
I always get that feeling of "heeey...this has happened before".
As irrational as it sounds; sometimes I wonder if parts of our long term history are made up by the powers that be in order to keep us from figuring this out.
Kinda like in the matrix where they were stuck in that time permanently; but without the pods and robots.

During each life cycle I think we learn to overcome some of the things that baffled us the time before.

Our consciousness is wiped to a clean slate each time we reset so we wont remember quite what happened and we have to relearn everything through the same trials and errors that we did before.

Nothing makes me more claustrophobic than the idea of having to live through childhood again.

Give me death or give me death.

im sick of the blind idealism that people have when they say i was born in the wrong time period who says that you would be in the heart of the movement you know. depending on who your parents were and where you were born would drastically effect things.

i could say i was born in the wrong time i should of been back in the 1920 for the giant jazz parites and the great gatsbey type shit tho i realize i very much so live in that now.
but any who times are very similar to that now specially the women most the women im friends with are very similar to flappers

reguardless i think its silly tho think that just cause you were back then things would perfect. theres people that live in the world that you would think the 60's about now. but shrug im a shitty debater

The Centre said:
Bru, today's society is MUCH more lenient (thanks to the hippies.) so be happy you live here.

Sure it sucks, but I promise you, in 3 years and 2 months, we have a chance for perfection. Or death and then perfection... Either way, perfection.

I'd like to get a time machine and experience the 60'ies myself. But hey, they didn't have the internet. I promise you it is the internet that will save humanity!



What happens in 3 years 2 months


--------------------
People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't
think that's what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an
experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely
physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and
reality, so we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.:flowerchild:

There's some cool things about this era, all I can think of now is the internet and iPods, honestly.  I'd rather live in the '60s myself: I hate cell phones, Facebook, modern pop culture, pop music, etc. but I just don't pay attention to those things.

Civil rights are too great a responsibility for the masses. This is probably the worst thing to come out of the modern era.


--------------------

Fight for a large loving government that can take care of its people, kill our criminals, and preform the huge industrial tasks our corporate overlords refuse(wanna greenwash me some more Exon?)

Not this weak travesty that let millions starve and sucks corporate cock while failing at every turn.

I don't mean by race. Everyone equally oppressed, so people can't do stupid things like drop out, and then vote and drag us all down, beat their wives, etc. We'd just shoot the dead weight. Too many people commit crimes in a democracy like ours for a crackdown to be politically effective.

Then specify, because "civil rights" could refer to any rights of the civilians. I can't read your mind. Refer to the Kirk Cameron thread for reasons why we need certain people, like Kirk Cameron, shot for being total nutbags.

In context of the 60s i thought "Civil Rights" was implied that it meant the rights of minorities.
