Me, the Piano, and Metaphysical Vertigo

Log in to view attachment

Am I playing the piano, or is the piano playing me?

Am I acting on the world, or is the world acting through me?

If reality mimics infinity, there are no first causes, and thus there is no first operator.

Linear thinking would suggest an act of becoming or arising naturally follows in a series, with a particular person or event functioning as an earlier prerequisite for the effect (e.g. music).

The mind operates by looking in the rear-view mirror, our perceptions are the end result of much squeezing and filtering through neural pipelines. We are set up for innumerable mistakes and illusions. To the extent that it so often seems that whatever we once called ingenuity and progress has now become obsolete. The heralded new religions of concrete assertions are destined to fall away like the leaves of autumn.

I walk in reverse.

And I'm not the one doing the walking.

LOL those pictures are the most indecipherable conglomerations of pictorial physics that I've seen.

Faster than light particles that travel backwards in time and have an imaginary mass for the win.

Beautiful song. :smile:

Sounds like your mind is engaged in dualistic grasping and ego-clinging.

...you black kettle you.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

You caught me. :wink:

Of course I could be playing devil's advocate or severely intoxicated. Either way, things aren't always as they seem, which is part of the point.

I thought it made perfect sense. :grin: What, you don't trust science? It's science, man, shit!

After being rick-rolled numerous times, I drank a ton of wine the other night and spent atleast 4 hours straight trying to learn the synth rhythm to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" on my keyboard.

That's what I call metaphysical vertigo.
