A movie changed my life
I see movies once a year
Maybe twice
But one day Steve Register told me we were going to watch a movie
I heart huckabees
We drove for like an hour to some movie theatre far away
The only place in town... scratch that...
the only place anywhere that was showing it
And I saw a movie that changed my life.
That and Pulp Fiction :)
The movie has one scene that I think about at least once a week.
This guy holds up a blanket and goes through this speal...
"this blanket is the universe... all matter... everything that is in it.. ever was and ever will be... over here is london.. As he pokes a finger up in the blanket... Over here is the Eiffel Tower... Over here is us... here is the wind ... etc"
You get the picture.
Eternally connected the matter of the universe is
There are not races, groups, countries, rivals etc.
We are all different and of the same...
So when we fail to see ourselves as part of the whole...
we shoot ourselves in the foot...
You can love your neighbor...
You can love people of all races...
You can love yourself :)
You can come to the realization that YOU are the same as THEM
A slightly different piece of the blanket.. yes..
But part of the blanket nonetheless...
Maybe you can come to the realization that waging war on others is waging war on the whole that you are part of...
And maybe you can come to the realization that by elevating yourself you can elevate a small piece of the whole...
And maybe you can realize that you are eternally tied to the whole blanket of matter in this world...
And maybe you can come to the realization that no part of a whole is any more important than any other part...
And maybe you me we can let go of the ego that separates the world from becoming one
