Merging Various Ideas To Create A New One

Alan Moore

Conor Oberest

Alan Watts

Jack Kruse

What do these guys all have in common? From the outside maybe not much. maybe a lot of conflicting ideas. I was recently introduced to Alan Moore (on youtube) and have had lots of fun listening to his ideas on things. At this point I'm far more set to ask which language a person is using than to say how different it is. I find most conflicting ideas are just a refusal to break down the words to see the meaning. Most arguments are arguments of semantics. I here about the subatomic quantum realm and it is just another way of saying what Alan Moore would call idea space. Science and spirituality are now synonymous for me. I have spent a lot of time with these four guys I have never met and I have hung out with them in idea space. Alan Watts is dead but he is the one I have spent the most imaginary time with. I say imaginary because I've never met him in "real' life. One of the best/worst realizations I've ever had is that everyone I've ever known and everyone that has known me didn't know the same me that I know. We are all ideas. Faces on ideas that may have some truth to them. I was married for ten years and had a dream about my ex wife last night who I haven't seen or spoken to in years and when I woke up I realized that (I had seen her in idea space and that it wasn't her at all and that I don't know her now and then it follows that I didn't know her then and she didn't know me any more than I know Alan Watts. Ideas are all we are and I grieve tangibility and at the same time then find so much freedom in creating an idea of myself and others on my own instead of allowing society or others to create an idea of me.  
Jack Kruse is a Neuro surgeon who has probably impacted my life more than any other person on the planet. He is able to explain deep science. Yesterday I posted a Fb question in a group about over rated health topics and right away Dr. Kruse responded. I got (as I just typed those words I got a notification from Jack Kruse on FB which is both creepy and fits with Alan Moore's ideas serendipity ideas) Anyway, I posted and Kruse himself responded. I was a bit star struck and at the same time realized here we are bot on FB on a Saturday morning thinking about how bad tech is and I couldn't help but see the joke in it. Everything has pluses and minuses. 
I also bought a concert ticket to see Conor Oberest yesterday who is coming into town. I got excited and afraid. You see there have been times when I have seen favorite bands and had an idea of the lead singer having this connection with me because I identified with certain songs which is why I love shows so much even thought they are high stimulation atmospheres that I normally would avoid. Once I saw a favorite band and the lead singer came across like a real ass hole and it kind of ruined the music a bit. Why I never met the singer either when I was listening to the music or listening to him say ass hole things. these are all ideas. I often think I wish I wasn't alone right now but them when I am around other people I think I wish I wasn't alone and obviously being perceived in a way that I don't feel represents me properly.  
The Alan watts explanation of the universal observer and us being essentially the glasses with different prescriptions that sees things helps. 

We are all island both held together and separated by ocean. The lines of real and virtual are getting blurred with technology. I have one hand in the material l world and the other in the conceptual. 
I do see that in the past I wanted things so that others could see them. No one can see the things that are most important to me the ideas that have been mixed together from the 4 people above and so many more. those are for me alone. It is fun to try though which explains this post.

​Every time this happens commit to sitting with it. Don't accept the idea or reject it, just let the wave of dissonance dissipate and then use reason to accept it or reject it or see it as a possibility. Innovation and creativity cause dissonance, they didn't when you were 0-7 because of the state of your brain. Some people never overcome cognitive dissonance and therefore never have a creative thought that didn't come from the programming they received between the age of 0-7. Any idea you defend can't expand.
