This is a Doors/Jim Morrison thread.
He said.
"I tell you this. No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn. "
Now hows that for a philosophy?
-------------------- "Don't believe everything you think". -Anom.
" All that lives was born to die"-Anom.
With much wisdom comes much sorrow,
The more knowledge, the more grief.

You know you're screwing with the database, don't you? 

According to the database only one thread on Castaneda by one person, until now. You are the exception to the rule.
Good job. 
Not a bad philosophy though. Kinda like Thoreau:
As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.

So does anyone think they know what Jimmy is saying here?

" All that lives was born to die"-Anom.

Live in the now, turn your god-like body into an alcohol-bloated caricature of yourself and check out at age 28 because of severe emotional issues disguised as deep cosmic truths.
What did I win?

Jim didn't check out, he snuck out the back door.
He's still alive somewhere in Oregon.
Oh and emotional issues are deep cosmic truths when expressed beautifully in Art.

Anyone want to hazard a guess about that quote? I find it very profound.

That's sort of how I see it. But not just religion it's all the cultural bs we buy into and support. Wasting the dawn for me is wasting the opportunity to be awake and feel everything.

I think Morrison is saying something about Christian morals of post-death reward and how it denies life, which is where eternity is in the first place.
--------------------
Wherever the hero may wander, whatever he may do, he is ever in the presence of his own essence — for he has the perfected eye to see. There is no separateness. Thus, just as the way of social participation may lead in the end to a realization of the All in the individual, so that of exile brings the hero to the Self in all. joseph campbell For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. jesus

I think he was speaking of more than religion but of culture in general. Other than that I agree completely.
Jimmy being a poet had lots of great lines IMO. Kind of like Jesus, he didn't just out with it.

doing trivial things and not living according to you true will result in a lower place in the general high score table of the cosmos.
