the world is asleep
how will you ever wake her up
when she is deep in the dream?

"...you're wondering what a place like me is doing
in a girl like this..."
-Rachel Weisz in The Mummy
this movie poster solidified, for me, the idea that Inception - a film about dreams - was actually all one big dream, and that the film's architect, Ariadne via Ellen Page, was the dreamer. this poster was one in a series of seven [7] spotlighting the film's characters individually. Page's poster was the only one among the seven [7] that showed a sleeping character, eyes closed. mid-kick.
it was for this reason that i chose to build my most recent sync whole banner around Page's poster.
Inception as a film Initiated Inception as a Idea. a film built as a commentary on film itself, a dream constructed as a commentary on dream itself. built by an 'architect' and populated with your subconscious.
“But, it had never occurred to me that everything I’m saying about creating a thing and trying to perceive it at the same time…relates to the filmmaking process.”
–Christopher Nolan, director of Inception
i am creator and created and creating. all at once. kinda simplifies things, eh?
not reaLly.
in between perception and creation is us, there we Lie, dreaming, wishing... a universe of possibility, of infinity and eternity, all now Here nowhere, in the whole of synk.

the world is dreaming, and we are the world.. we are the dream builder, the dreamer and the dream.. spark of life and flaming death, reversed and then reVersed again.. inside outside in
"i liked inception.. it just had this strange feeling of 'are we there yet' from the moment the movie started... it felt like part of the movie had already happened before i arrived in my seat... i know that makes no sense but it just felt like i was in a story that was already happening... it was already there. i guess that's why i kept the feeling that we might be at the end and about to lap backwards. i didn't hate that feeling it was just different."
-Tonya (Inception Review)
the inception - the emergence of pure thought creation - reflects the fiery birth of our collective awakening, the awareness of the dream. awareness through patterns: see the patterns and 'discover' for yourself that something is amiss. this awareness comes under the guise of something newly created, while it actually was already there. you never remember the beginning of the dream; there was no beginning. it was always there.
we are not special. this does not belong to us.
...
oh, but it does, toure.
i am.
...aren't i?
...
I am flying
Flying past the ocean
Past the waves
Past the dolphins
Past Poseidon, his mighty trident gleaming in the setting sun
Past the horizon, past Helios and his chariot of fire
Past the stars and the milky river they swim in
Past the beautiful moon and her ever watchful eyes
Past the world...
Flying past the ocean
Past the waves
Past the dolphins
Past Poseidon, his mighty trident gleaming in the setting sun
Past the horizon, past Helios and his chariot of fire
Past the stars and the milky river they swim in
Past the beautiful moon and her ever watchful eyes
Past the world...
-Ariadne's Maze by indy-lover
i am, and i am beyond i am. jupiter speaks to us of joy and love and rainbows and shit; all the while knowing the finger is simply the mark, and the dragon whispers to us of all that Heavenly glory. the king of love is a dead man Now living. again. to see...
burning is combustion, the breaking down of molecular bonds, the release of the compressed oppressed, the fiery death of us open.
the compliment to a fiery awakening is a wet dream, and to a fiery birth, death by drowning. but then death is the road to awe, after all, and in the context of our Inception, just another kick.
and so, we sink.
or swim
our world is dying and being birthed
we are then killers and being born
perceiving and creating all at once now here
we are nothing if not this
it, i, is ours
to freely give
what more is there for us all to do
as our creators?
Jim:
Love it Toure. What a awe inspiring mystery existence is, isn't it?
It's all Earl's Dream.
