i am 70 navigator. yeah, i'm right behind you...65 this year. The creator of the documentary will die heartbroken, his optimistic idealism will be but flat-dog in the road, just another road kill. did you watch the whole 93 minutes? it was long...i kinda dozed...but wanted to get the whole picture...still not sure i did, but i tried. i never saw optimism so much as ... what? an effort to explain things that have always been unexplainable...but the end is the same regardless. i am sorry, but my beliefs we are living in a NON-BENIGN ILLUSION it's easier for me to accept that i am creating my own reality, and therefore responsible for it. a non-benign illusion? surely it's some kind of illusion, but non-benign? i think it just is. neither benign or non-benign. i liked the point made in the film that it is our mind and our ego that put labels on experiences and events such as good or bad, when in reality, they just are...for me, this squares with what i see in the universe. someone once made the point that every society sets its own rules and what is illegal and abhorrent in one place (for ex: cannibalism), is a sacred rite in another. Navigator, what has happened since is perfectly sung by Robbie Robertson in this song that is only a year old---Robbie Robertson being the Genius of the members of *THE BAND.* This a BRILLIANT Song by a saintly wise enlightened man facing the hard reality--that take GUTS. Listen carefully, especially, that on individual level one musy have there HEART beat in the right direction---but the crowd will ALWAYS move about in chaotic ignorance youtube.com Like the sun rising out of the sea It's how you embrace the mystery love robbie robertson's music...did you get to the point they made in the film that we "feed" on the sun? What i believe in be a lot of things that ARE not of the OVERALL COLLECTIVE human race, for one HummingBirds! i do believe in world's in other dimensions--- i missed the collective aspect, it is born of the belief that we are ultimately all one? that aspect is an either/or for me. how i see myself and the world around me originates with my own view (i think)...it's not a deal-breaker for me. it's easy for me to accept that we come here to learn and experience and it's easy for me to pick through different ideas, keep what i like and discard the rest. i'd have to watch the film again, as i'm sure i missed quite a bit...but over-all i liked the way it stretched my perspective.
