Micheal Stipe
I was watching iconaclasts last night and they had Michael Stipe on. You know...the lead singer of REM. He was talking about the the cyclical nature of artists, and how an artist starts at the bottom of the circle. As they come up to the top of the circle they are learning their craft. At the top of the circle they have become a master of their craft. As they go back down to the bottom of the circle they purposely forget everything they have learned, until they reach the bottom of the circle and just be. They use their guidance to create. They don't care about whats right or wrong, what the correct way doing something is. They trust their guidance and just create. That was one of the best analogies I have ever heard for life.

I guess the death of whoever shows you the enlightened path. That death isn't final, but people are always in our imagination, so therefore they live on and on and on, and when you die your imagination lives on in someone elses imagination. So, imagine and you will be what you are. Time doesn't exist, and worrying is for the real basterds out there. As your grandfather's body decomposes and is eaten by worms, you can always remind yourself that at least someone is enjoying a good meal upon the death of someone else. Suffering doesn't exist, just a mental block. Huh, Jack?
I don't get it. What does Mr./Ms. Anonymous' comment have to do with the Michael Stipe post? Is anyone else confused about this?
