Ahh ye, true, got it here, just haven't seen it yet *edits* :D

Crap... gonna have to dl them by myself on my shitty home connection. I don't know any people that might have any Korean movies even if they're that good.

Yea, my exact thoughts. I've forgotten all decent torrent sites aswell, T_T.

oldest bandwagon ever?

I don't get it ! tell me more!

maybe with the wagon being SSSSSOOOOOOOOooooo old it only just made its way to norge.

prolly

Heja norge

slightly offtopic, but it'd be nice if anyone knows any good chinese language movies (mandarin please, not cantonese/taiwanese), i'd appreciate if you gave some names.

aside from the obvious CTHD, hero, HFD, once upon a time in china series, KFH, eat drink man woman, saving face...

Wong Kar Wai namely,

Did people mention:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0762073/ - Thirst

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1527788/ - The Man From Nowhere

the man from nowhere was okay. maybe i will check out thirst.

Thirst is fucking awesome imo, best vampire film I've ever seen.

dling [:

Given your interest and taste, as you've presented them on this site. I really think you will enjoy the main characters moral struggle in the film. Enjoy!

Thirst is pretty cool. Remember seeing it at a tiny cinema years ago (probably like 2006 or 8).

that cross be emmiting some mad chi bro

ah, you felt it too, good, shits' powerful.

you have to help me figure this one out r1ddler. i've seen that omnious cube everywhere, and i even see it sometimes myself. it takes various forms, sometimes alien, sometimes just mysterious and cold, but most often omnious.

so far i've thought of it as a generalization of the monolith that figures in 2001, the book and the movie. in the movie it shows up just as apes figure out how to use tools to enhance themselves.

in this video there also figures these signs, these logico-technological signs, that seem to mix miracle and reason. i've seen the japanese, in art, music, anime, enthusiastically take up the term "paradigm shift" from kuhn.

here are the very same type signs figuring in the miracle/science part of casshern, when lightning strikes and victims of a large genocide come back to life in the lab, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN95VVGEnAY#t=1m10s

in addition, the Requiem video features shards or ruby of various colors. now this is the part where i'm confused. the cube seems to lose its threatening alien character, and becomes semi-transparent, green and rather harmless.

but then all these ancient structures come forth and rise up, remniscing a kind of japanese armageddon thing from what i gather from the end scene in casshern

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azmKVBOIXx0#t=3m03s
and like, this music video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWoJLdXJt0E#t=3m30s

and i figure that's kindof how things are in the popular imagination of what happened when the nuke hit, that earth went up into the sky.. and it kinda got into the psyche that way

so then the wholy cube simply shatters! earth shattering. but then suddnely all these soul gems are rising up. like ruby shards of different colors. but then! the green one is pierced by the sun, and all the others are silently present in its twinkling star-like extinction.

if it's what i think it's like the opposite message of this one,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUF5orz586s where the one that rises gives life to all the others without itself dying. but that is perhaps a bit unrealistic. what do you think?

so much symbolism, it means whatever you want it to mean, no 2 people interpret it the same way

To me the cube represents "the universal mind" , the thread that links everything and everyone, your are the universal consciousness, but in the dense physical reality, the connection seems blurry or to some completely invisible.
It could represent a higher vibratory plane of existence.
It could represent the passing of our solar system through a "energy field", space isn't empty, everything is connected,and we influenced by such changes.

Those animations seem to represent the flow of life-energy/chi obviously, the negative and the positive energy, the good and the bad, +/- , without which experiencing reality and developing as a spiritual being wouldn't be possible

Hard to say what the author actually meant to portray.

hmm. universal mind it may be. i'm really feeling the connection to the 2001 monolith. there is a connection to the link below with andrew cohen, because there is a spiritualism with, what should i say, global progression? like evolution is a big spiritual evolution, and everything is gradually leveling up. it's like that spiral dynamics stuff, with epochs being stages, like the famous "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" it seems like the piaget stages recapitulate the stages of evolution, or the maslow hierachy and all that positive plato's cave type mythological symbolism. and then to unite that with spiritualism that so often is all about ocean of tranquility, to turn creativity into the new good as against that peace, it makes the spiritual world turn a little i think.

monolith , hmm dunno, its measurements may be natural (fibonacci sequence, based on which grandiose temples,cathedrals, pyramids etc have been built) and im sure they are..it very likely has the same basic function as pyramids and obelisks, built on earths grid lines or energy lines (earth energy vortices), emplifing energy (be it positive or negative..) (imho everything is based on sacred geometry, everything has a pattern, there is no absolute chaos)
When talking about linear evolution i have a problem. But there certainly is evolution on every level.
Im not qualified enough to offer you much more insight. I still have a hard time understanding reality.
Been trying to wrap my head around this topic for years now: http://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=64891
It's seems like i need to be in a different state of mind to understand it, like tuning my brain wave frequencies, ..weed helps :) (but meditation for the non-lazy)

sounds a lot like quantum mechanics! on the many-worlds interpretation there's this one grand universal wavefunction governing everything O_O

there's also the problem if we consider neurons, electrical signals etc. to be the basis of consciousness to determine the quality of consciousness from a linear, causal process.

here it is easily seen that the structure or feeling of consciousness must arise when different parts of the causal chain that causes consciousness are somehow united.

for consider the stimuli reaching your eye from som object, this electrical signal travels through the optic nerve, and into visual cortical areas, and then eventually in first person you see an apple. so the experience must occur between the stimuli hitting the eye, and the end of the experience. if we chip away at the first part of this causal process, then there must be some point at which the structure or feeling of consciousness changes or gets destroyed. but the same applies if we start chipping away from the end of the process.

so minimally, there's a piece of time that it takes to produce a conscious feeling. and the things that happen at the beginning and and at the ending of this process must somehow be united into one experience one is having, even if they are far apart in time, say, 30 milliseconds or so. but this is amazing and strange :o

I made it a bit more clear, the consciousness argument, lol :p

why yes a rectangular monolith is totally fibonacci sequence like, brother

http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/~g.legrady/academic/c.../index.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number
its the relation between x/y/z

i should have said golden ratio, brother

ratios, sequences, square, circular , there is no difference it the soup of our vast knowledge amirite brother

Your Borsh is cold brother, or is mine? its intertwine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rPH1Abuu9M

ever closer!

revenge is for weak minded people









iz true tho :P

we have all kinds of random feelings. what you do is take whatever you have and make it work for a higher purpose than whatever shit evolution had planned.

also, what do you think about this spiritual dude? http://youtu.be/8JURH9iwAPc?t=6m21s

I don't know these two guys, but listening for 10minutes of the conversation, makes me feel like they are quite grounded and level-headed, they share views most of us agree with, unlike someone like David Wilcock whos views are really out-there but all 3 of them may be considered spiritualists

but it's totally opposite the "now" books of Eckhart Tolle isn't it? that's like the traditional focus, the here and now contains eternity, contains the final solution, the rest, the white light. and then these other people turn hegel geist into this neverending progression, and you have to keep moving up that mountain forever, and that's really not what most people have been wanting to hear before we got all these freetime on our hands and boredom became the enemy instead of restlessness, lol.

haha, very true, we need fixed and clear goals :D

oldboy was awesome

wayBetter!!

go watch "welcome to dongmakgol"
