Woke up this mornin... duh naaaah nah nuh....everythin as usual. Leaving my apartment however, my next door neighbor appeared at his door, and asked if I had a windows98 cd. I told him I did, but being in a hurry for the bus, he would have to wait until i got home from school. He came to get it later this evening, and we got to talking. His views on reality were interesting, to say the least. Everything he claimed was, in essence possible, and he admitted that most people wouldn't be able to comprehend the big picture he was presenting at first glance. I have never met anyone with beliefs such as he, but one thing he said in particular caught my ear.
I have heard the phrase; "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but instead spiritual beings having a human one." from three different mouths in the last two weeks. The first was on the day I came back from Collingwood, on Oprah, from the mouth of an author of a Zen book... he was a very good speaker, and this phrase stuck in my mind. I have been repeating it over and over, while I clean my apartment, or while I am doing my dishes. It seemed such a perfect sentance, and I was determined not to forget it.
I next heard it yesterday from the mouth of Talib Kwali, the first lines in the first track of a CD I ripped from Scott.
"I aint a human being into no spiritual shit, a spiritual being manifested as a human, thats it"
I mean.. Ive heard it probly 20 times before, but i never really HEARD it before, you know?
Then my neighbor says it. By the time that he left, my head was spinning. Though I had planned to do a bio page, I dunno now. I think to do that would be to ask myself what I believe, and to do that is gonna take alot more work than I thought. Decided to go and meet another neighbor tho, turned out to be a Mac user, second I have ever met. Both of em love their computers... maybe I should look into the Mac further..
