This is only a dream

About Me

Some say that isolation is not good for people, that too much of it can distort one’s reality. Is it true what they say: that others don’t hear color and see sounds? Do they have a concept of home that isn’t built upon wishful thinking and constructed out of twelve-point font?

Maybe something's wrong. These books seem longer than their pages, these songs louder than sound, and pictures…these pictures must be more than just colors. Is this story real?…or is it only a dream?

On our innate belief in further dimensions of reality

In the fourth dimension, the past and future exist and have meaning only as a context for the present, which is the sole reality.

To love unconditionally is to love indiscriminately

Opposite our nature is our ideal.  Trying to reach it, we turn the wheel.   -Evan

self-contemplation

The defining achievement of humanity is self-contemplation. Looking at ourselves, we cry "Oh, no! We are in pain!" and create suffering, then "Look, we are happy!" and create joy. -Evan...
