I wonder, I wonder, what you would do
If you had the power to dream at night any dream you wanted to dream
And you would of course, be able to alter your time sense
And slip, say, 75 years of subjective time into eight hours of sleep.
You would, I suppose, start out by fulfilling all your wishes
You could design for yourself what could be the most ecstatic life…”
Great news: We think we finally get Inception.
With the help of Alan Watts—British philosopher and writer who contributed to the spread and assimilation of Eastern philosophy in the West—and enchanted by Hans Zimmer‘s soundtrack magic, we’re now lying on a couch and letting go of what (we think) we know, ready to be induced in the dream of our lives.
A bouncing dream that, like another version of ourselves, keeps coming back to us through a mirror.
Do we create our future or do we eventually meet an already present future? Are all future tenses just layers of the Now?
Watts realized “that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.”
Poetically put, by the same Watts:
“Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.”
