Here?s a random thought from the movie Waking Life (note disclaimer)
http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte484v/wakinglife/linklater.html
And so I read that, and I was like, "Well that's weird." And then that night, I had a dream, and there was this guy in the dream who was supposed to be a psychic, but I was skeptical. I was like, you know, he's not really a psychic, you know, I'm just thinking to myself. And then suddenly, I start floating, like levitating, up to the ceiling, and as I almost go through the roof, I'm like, "Ok Mr. Psychic, I believe you..you're a psychic. Put me down please." And I float down, and as my feet touch the ground the psychic turns into this woman in a green dress, and this woman is Lady Gregory. Now, Lady Gregory was Yates' patron, this Irish person. And though I'd never seen her image, I was just sure that this was the face of Lady Gregory. So we're walking along and Lady Gregory turns to me and says, "Let me explain to you the nature of the universe. Now, Philip K. Dick is right about time, but he's wrong that it's 50 A.D. Actually, there's only one instant, and it's right now, and it's eternity. And, it's an instant in which God is posing a question, and that question is basically, "Do you wanna be one with eternity, do you want to be in heaven?" And, we're all saying, "Nooo thank you, not just yet." And so time, is actually just this constant saying "No" to God's invitation. I mean, that's what time is. It's no more 50 A.D. than it's 2001. There's just this one instant, and that's what we're always in. And then she tells me that actually, this is the narrative of everyone's life. Behind the phenomenal difference there is but one story, and that's the story of moving from the "No" to the "Yes." All of life is like, "No thank you, No thank you, No thank you." And then, ultimately, it's, "Yes I give in, Yes I accept, Yes I embrace." I mean, that's the journey. Everyone gets to the "Yes" in the end, right?
