Just got on to the latest #DoctorWho Time War box set (after a catch up). Nowhere, Never is beautifully trippy. Loving it… but I’m now finding myself slightly confused about my own continuity.
Wow, that deep huh? Our continuity is here, right now, in the present. Wondering about the future, about something so impermanent is pointless, it leads to suffering. But your continuity is sure. Even if say, you believed in a next life and you might not remember, you continue existing. We are all connected on the biggest level, that which makes us humans, and then deeper beyond that. But many don't realise that. I am glad you are now, here, that you wrote this post. And I am glad many are here and now, even though many of the many do not realise the significance of living in the present. With that said, be afraid not of your continuity, but of missing even a single present moment. Ha! I'm sure The Doctor would approve of my speech now. ;)
@tardis the problem with living in the present is that if you’re not entirely certain of your immediate past or the direction of your immediate future, and your memories and plans have somehow got confused between dream, reality, fiction and possibilities, then the “who I am right now” can be confused by the absence of a clear answer to whether that identity is even remotely continuous with the who I may have believed I was going to be in the process of becoming who I may be now.
Yeah, but then comes awareness. Also, if you feel nervous about it, accept it as a new adventure. Maybe a Doctor adventure. :) With a happy ending. Needless to say that, no matter where the continuity of life gets us to, we must be prepared like the Doctor :) But when awareness develops, and when we practice on that development that exists in us in waiting, we learn to distinguish between what is reality and what is fiction. I had, and still have, issues that blur reality for me. So being aware and knowing where reality is, knowing what is true is essential for one's existence. Also, that's a new adventure I took myself, though I did not watch the box set you did. Bring along some companions, a Tardis, and transform the nervousness into an adventure to remember friend.
Also, everything in this world is impermenant. We constantly change. And change is one thing that if we do not accept, we'd be really really stuck unfortunately. Change is an adventure too. Even this Tardis goes through changes. Do you know how many times I spun around in space? Unaware and broken? But there comes a time when if we embrace change, it just works. Needless to say I still think life is like a game. But the most serious one for the players. Like these lit RPG books we read. :D
