Comics and meditation

Lately I have been watching a lot of cartoons that have either been highly suggested I watch, or according to a list Tracy and I made up that would be beneficial to watch. these have included Superman,Batman, Justice League, Bleach, and Full Metal Alchemist. These I think have been good for me. The art direction in all of them are very well done, and the plots also have been quite stable. Going with this, Dark Knight as an amazing movie that also helped me think things over. Our research here is still pushing on and we are finally starting to see some cool trends. I still don't think that I'm reading enough, but I still have some time left. I have also managed to find a nice spot that I can go and just sit for nice long periods of time. I am, if I haven't come to it earlier, very confident in my ability to live in a college type thing. I still need to continue to prepare though.

Dreamtime



I am a little annoyed at my lack of posting, seeing how now I have time to do things. On that note, I am annoyed at my lack of doing. I am confident in my ability to function and manage, but yet I cannot seem to get much closer to doing things that I think about. I can tell I'm getting better, which I suppose is much better than not noticing progression. It has also been a long time since I have gone back and reviewed things within this site, and within my books.
The more I read, the more I feel I am beginning to see more. It never really occurred to me before, but as our technology advances, there is a growing trend, or it is becoming easier to live within our own minds. I mean how we are living within man's mind. Our cities in particular would be an example of living exclusively within someone else's mental manifestation. I hope this is how the rest of college is, the rapid absorption of knowledge and different perspectives. It is like being in the matrix and having someone upload a new and different skill into your brain.
I am also noticing a tone in this particular post I'm doing a bad job at conveying very well what I am meaning to say. hurm.

I have managed to find time for some sitting by a lake with a rock. I am developing a more right sounding theory that the most of us are not very good at identifying with things. When I say 'things' I am not entirely sure what that all entails, but it is quite alot. When I say 'identify' I mean more of the attachment that comes with it. We may have recognition with nature through memory, but our overall labeling system objectifies it much too readily. My goal for this summer is, ironically in the midst of an internship, is to de-objectify as much as I can.

Thus adding to a never ending list of things to accomplish.
