    some random quotes mostly from peoples sigs that i enjoy and have been collecting. feel free to add more if you like. i wrote the really huge ones about the 4th dimension but everything else is from other sources.

    Believe Nothing Question Everything

    In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal"

    That which is in plain sight is hidden best.

    The time passes along without emotions. How can we bare this awful nothing? Who made time? Bad things come with time. Age comes with time. We loose our childhood love because of time. Time takes us to places unknown. Keeps us slaves to that precious schedule we use everyday. Time doesn't know nor does it care. It is nothing. So why do we take it as everything?

    You don't seem to understand

    You are in prison
    If you are to get out of prison
    The first thing you must realize is
    You are in prison

    "The sanctity of poverty is an invention of the rich",
    William Shakespeare

    "Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever!"

    just because we see something does not make it reality. a blind man at birth will go his whole life not knowing what our reality looks like. a deaf man will never know how our reality sounds. but if everyone was deaf then that would be reality. if everyone was blind that would also be reality. and if this was so and one man could hear and another could see the people that could not would not be able to grasp the concept. try explaining something to someone who has never experienced it and to them it will seem impossible or unreal. just because you havent experienced something does not mean that it doesnt exist. for all we know drugs may be the gateway to another reality and whose to say that that isnt as much of a reality as the one i see now. reality is what we percieve and if our mind percieves something different is that not also reality? there are many other things and beings in the universe that have created things that we can never percieve and that is their reality. maybe they have a plant on their planet that when smoked they see our world and others will call them crazy only because they have not also percieved that reality. but just because something is uncommon or uncommonly noticed or unnoticable does not mean that it is not reality.

    maybe the 4th dimension is the absence of matter altogether and there is only light sound consciousness etc... and anything else that does not require matter. if u think im wrong let me know but it makes sense to me. i know u said you interacted in the 4dim but maybe your conscious self believed you were interacting with it, thus allowing you to realize things unable to be percieved by sight alone. i think it fits quite well to your explanation.
    although sound is made of vibrations and u cant have vibrations without matter so maybe sound is percieved also and thoughts turn to music much more easily thus allowing the most beautiful music of all w/o having to write down how it sounds b/c it plays as u hear it. and maybe we can create the most beaytiful works of art for the same reason. ever have a really cool idea and try to draw it and it came out nothing like u imagined?


    if my rantings are true then the 4dim must be the most beautiful place imaginable which is funny b/c it is imagined. maybe 4dim is heaven and heaven is whatever u want it to be. that would be heaven for me. not how other ppl make it but how i make it
    "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me. "-Hunter S. Thompson​

    Jesus... Its like masturbation for the soul.

    Societal expectations diminish an individual's ability to think as an individual.

    P.S. AND SO ARE YOU

    Murder in a uniform is heroic, in a costume it is a crime.
    -- Abbie Hoffman

    happiness is just an illusion caused by the temporary absence of reality.
    yes, that is a man with a keyboard on his head.

    And we choked on all our dreams
    We whispered all our fears
    Running through the heartless country streets
    Chasing our ideas
    Run!

    If being free is a crime, I guess I'm a criminal...

    "A great stone man rose like a tower on board,
    Stood at the helm and cleft the flood profound:
    But the calm hero, leaning on his sword,
    Gazed back, and would not offer one look round."

    Charles Baudelaire, "Don Juan in Hell"
