CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #506
Sometimes I have conversations with people who are not there. Not out
loud conversations. No Thorazine yet, thank you very much. But I
definitely catch myself having spirited debates and heated arguments
with folks who exist only in my head. Which doesn't stop them from
speaking forcefully, and, at times, eloquently on their own behalf. On
occasion they are people I know. Other times they are purely fictional
creations, brought into existence to question my thinking, my actions,
or just piss me off. (Because there's not enough real people pissing me
off, I've gotta make some up.) Anyway, the reason I thought this was
worth discussing is that I'm fascinated by what I like to call "the
bifurcated self." Consciousness that has split itself in two in order to
create its own suffering. (Because there's not enough real suffering
going on, we need to make more.) But I've recently become more
fascinated by the idea that there is no self at all. That the solution
to bifurcation is not reuniting warring selves, it's dropping the entire
concept of self. The memories, emotions, thoughts and attitudes that
combine to create the self are finally recognized as nothing more than
ripples on the surface of a pond. And the truth of what we are,
collectively and individually, is the pond itself. That which silently
embraces the endless dance of form. Deep. Clear. Still. Reflecting the
infinite and eternal, while receiving with equanimity both the beauty
and the ugliness that falls into it - even the critical inner voice
which is talking to me right now. Excuse me while I respond.
"Shut up, I am too a pond!"

"Or an Infinite Ocean of all time and space"
Note: By the way if you were wondering where these all come from these two came from "The Big Bang Theory"
And this particular one was at the end of "The Helium Insufficiency" which recorded on my DVR TIVO on October 26th, 2015 and I watched these two episodes tonight with my wife.
But, if you don't have a DVR you likely cannot stop frame it to read it at the very end of pretty much almost every episode of "The Big Bang Theory" as well as any other programs Chuck Lorre writes.
However, all the ones Chuck Lorre has written are available at his site and here too if the programming works here.
Yes.
When you click on any number it will take you to his site and one by one you can read them all if you want to or any one of them there at his site.
