07:04:2005 Entry: "Ann : I figured it out!"

I figured it out!

A few weeks ago I talked about how it seemed like the Bizarro World because of the Pink Floyd reunion and Apple switching to Intel chips. I mean, these things just weren't supposed to happen. Then a little over a week ago, the Supreme Court made a decision regarding eminent domain in regard to private property seizures, making it possible for big business and developers to take over property of small business and home owners. Siding with "the little guy" in this 5-4 decision were not the more liberal members of the court, but the more *conservative* members (namely, Scalia, Rehnquist and Thomas), the ones I thought would be siding with the interests of big business. I was so outraged by the decision, and confused by my own sudden realization that hey, I might not necessarily be voting for Democrats in the next election, that I was seriously questioning

::::just what the hell is going on in this topsy turvey world, anyway?::::

After watching, and re-watching both the internet broadcasts and the videotape that I thankfully was able to record, the Pink Floyd Live 8 reunion performance, the beautiful, heavenly performance, I realized:

I AM DEAD.

It's like many theories that are going around about the TV show LOST...the characters are in fact dead, and this island is some sort of purgatory or in-between world where their souls are for the time being.

I AM DEAD...because I can tell you one thing, yes, it is snowing in hell. Not that I am there, mind you, but I'm pretty sure I'm dead. It's a surreal world, like in Beetlejuice.

I *suspect* Stan is dead too, but I'm not really sure. Maybe he just thinks I'm alive. Maybe when he realizes I truly am dead, I'll start to decay into dust like Geena Davis in Beetlejuice. Or at least in his eyes. Maybe I shouldn't let him read this when he gets home tonight.

The thing I can't really figure out is when I actually died. I guess that's one of the mysteries I have yet to figure out while I am in this bardo.

I think we signed up for Bardo 101, and (yes) we are dead. It is like mirror or bizzaro worlds. I hope this is good Dharma.

Oh no, not Bardo 101! That sounds so...college! That means we're still stuck in college! No, this can't be happening...

It has to be an entery level Bardo, because it looks too much like an ordinary world. Or is it the more ordinary the more advanced it is... I don't know for sure.

Entry Level!?? No, No! Not Entry Level! That sounds so...office worker business bad clothes! That means we're still stuck trying to find work! No, this can't be happening...

What do you think? Whether it is advanced or simple do you believe this death is good?

Posted by Stan @ 07:04:2005:05:45 PM CST

As far as Pink Floyd is concerned, even if that was the last that they'll ever all be in the same room together (that's all I was expecting anyway) is definitely a good thing.

Jury is out on Apple's switch. I have no idea about that.

The Supreme Court decision is definitely a bad turn for this country.

Is that what you're asking?

Sorry, I guess I should be taking your question in more of a metaphysical spirit rather than so literally?

I think it's good to have died, and surely it must mean that we have finished what ever things we needed to finish in life. The very best - and it must be a good omen too - is the Pink Floyd reunion. The other things seem mostly insignificant in any spiritual sense.
