JT..It is good you have begun to do some research ...

2009-11-09T04:14:43.220-05:00

JT..It is good you have begun to do some research for more understanding. The Wikipedia is a fair start. Please don't stop there. I have recommended readings in a previous post. I suggest not to "Think" about it as you read on it,,but to just open your mind to it.
Yes, Surrealism isn't the only " State of Mind" that reaches for the Infinite. Surrealism goes about it a different way than most others tho. Liberating the Mind from all its anchors, freeing the mind of all its encumbrances,getting outside the box of institutionalized parameters,,means going pass..what we think..all the way to How we Think and Perceive. The revolution of the Mind returns one to a unified being, not conflicted, and thus at peace with itself and eventually with the world.

The Imagination is the Surrealists Infinity. Accessing the Imagination requires a free and unencumbered mind. Sounds easy, but is a lot more difficult than it sounds. Letting go of the way you have been taught since childhood , on how you should think and perceive,,is required and the way we think and perceive is one habit that is hard to kick. But with small steps it eventually comes. Transcendental Meditation requires a " clearing of the mind" and is not a bad exercise to know of to help with the Surreal.

The Surrealists also continues into the Imagination. What one finds there is not the end, but only a beginning. It is from what we find in the Imagination and create from/with that is what becomes one..answers the age olde question plaguing Mankind,," Who Am I?".Not everything you find in your Imagination sticks..What sticks and is further created from becomes You. And even over Time, one may let go of creations for another..quite natural to be in a state of ever exploring...the Desire.

Yes, Rational Thought Process is the bane of Surrealism. It is seen as enslaving the mind to inside the box habitual thinking and perceiving. Its an encumbrance,, that allows one to be fooled by Illusions. Its a Trap that allows one to be easily manipulated by...if you can figure out what X is going to be equal to..then you can manipulate the formula so that X always turns out to be what you want it to be. Rational Thought is for building bridges, going to the moon,,etc,, not for delving into what it is to be a Human Being. I am NOT a number. The insistence that we are rational beings denies a large portion of what it is to be a Human Being..curtails our potentials and talents ,,The Who We Are..found in the Imagination, is a Illusion that is nothing more than a form of Self Defeatism...and..turns one away from realizing the infinity of Love.

Enough for now. I can only suggest to keep researching. Much more to Surrealism than the Wiki.

2009-11-09T00:55:58.916-05:00

Mel- I did a little Wiki reading to try and get more of your view. Seems to me Surrealists were trying to tap into the unconscious to connect to the infinite. I think humans try to do that many ways-through religion,nature, relationships, meditation.

If I have it right, you want us to experience that connection through Lost, rather than trying to explain the show, because you think that is how Lost is intended and that it can't be explained.

What if the explanation, though, is that the island is a place where surreal experiences happen because it connects people to the infinite, and they cause them to happen? There is a book on the Lost University reading list called The Field, which tries to show that experiments support the idea of consciousness creating reality by tapping into the zero energy field that is everywhere.

The fact that they are putting out this idea through LU makes me think it will be important to the story. I may be that the island connects to The Field.

They may have said theories would be crushed in S6- but what theories? They also said that after the first episode of S6 we would have enough information to form a correct idea of what is happening-which sounds to me like more facts to support something rational rather than more unexplainable stuff, to support surrealism only.

I guess the Surrealists say that once you apply reason you have lost the experience, but it seems to me that science can connect to the infinite too. I think maybe Lost can be felt and known.

The good thing is- we are going to find out!

Yeah I usually watch Mad Men later in the week. But good point Amy. Sunday nights may not work for some people. I think the key is a better heads up as I'm sure many people would listen in live, even if they didn't call in.

2009-11-09T00:16:35.137-05:00

I'm not sure if maybe the squirrel comment was misunderstood- they actually have squirrels causing a rukus and he framed it in military terms. No humans harmed in the making of his statements.

2009-11-08T23:44:20.870-05:00

Also, Sunday nights are no good in our house because we sort of do family night, with Dexter and Mad Men etc. (Although I guess next week we switch to The Prisoner and Dexter!)

Keep trying Congested, Zort was interested.

Sheesh, Carlton better watch the squirrel talk, Tom Cruise just got some really bad PR for himself calling his critics squirrels (albeit, "squirrels trapped in an electronic crisis".)

OT: MM watchers, it seems as if our little Donny is finally "all growed up" tonight. :-o

2009-11-08T22:38:34.166-05:00

Well I guess it was too late of a notice about the podcast. I'll try again this week and see if I can get more involved. Hopefully Zort as well. :)

2009-11-08T20:23:39.069-05:00

There is nothing wrong about not gettin it. There is nothing wrong with the frustration and disappointment that Not Getting It brings one to. After,,all..Locke had at least 3 meltdowns of frustration and disappointment before he went back to Jakes Cabin and essentially said..I give up..this ain't workin for me. If He Had Denied What Christian and Claire Instructed Him To Do..What He had to Subject Himself To..THEN,, That would Have Been WRONG. But, He did NOT Deny What He Was Shown That He Had To Do Inorder To Come To Non Frustrating and Non Disappointing END.

I am not saying any body should go hang themselves if they are still frustrated with Lost. I AM saying .. to let go of..that which Frustrates you,, and look for a way of seeing this show,,that isn't frustrating. There is a way,,and I have been suggesting it in the last few pages of posts.

" Army of Squirrels" are Carlton's words,,just as LOST is his co-production. Perhaps we are seeing some Frustration on His Part,,with the fans.

I went ahead and created the call.

If it doesn't work out tonight we can try again for tomorrow or something.

2009-11-08T20:11:06.739-05:00

Sensitive in what sense? The podcast would be lighthearted and people would be encouraged to not dwell on drama. I think there could be a good discussion about the posters, the various reveal events, etc. :)

2009-11-08T20:07:02.280-05:00

I'm back. Personally, I'm not in favor of doing any podcasts until the poster reveals are over. It's too sensitive. Of course, I'm speaking as one who didn't get this last one. ;)

MEL was saying to twitter your comments to Carlton, i'm sure he'd love that ;)

Seriously though, both Damon & Carlton have verified twitter accounts, i'm sure they're getting an earful.

2009-11-08T19:48:29.391-05:00

Hey. So Zort and I talked briefly weeks and weeks ago about doing a podcast about the series, but it's so close to the end now that I think it'd be nice to get a few in by the time its over.

Obviously the mosiac cast is seperate from this, but I'd still encourage anyone that's hesitant to contribute to the mosaic podcast.

If done, it would be recorded live on TalkShoe and I'm considering (if I can get enough people together) just going ahead and recording one tonight.

It'd be great to have both Losties involved and people more familiar with the artists (perhaps some EBers).

I think, since there are 4 posters left. 4 podcasts... with the current reveal discussed each week, and then also covering each poster's reveal/sell in blocks of 4 for each podcast, would be a good way to go about it.

If I did do it tonight would anyone be interested in joining? We could record at 9pm or 10pm est... which would be 6pm/7pm pst. Anyone interested? I want a group discussion so it'd be nice to get several people involved this week... with perhaps more of an announcement for next week's podcast.

Let's please not start calling any fans names again just because they might think differently. Haven't we beaten the name-calling horse to the bone this month? Let's give Zort a break from ever having to call a time out again.
