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.
