John Tischer '71: Missing Frames

$
0
0

A sense of being is created by the
illusion of the continuity of sense
perceptions, just as our minds are
fooled into feeling that a movie is
really happening.

…but there are missing frames in
our movies…

…whole scenes on the cutting room
floor, as Clive tries to edit the docu-
mentary while talking to his sister on
the  i phone….

…even seeing the same thing, we each
have our Rashomon points of view…

...taking what we think to be real, we loose
our bearings and sense of perspective...

...believing in concepts and loosing
touch with what is real...

..relative reality says a lot and means
very little….absolute reality says
nothing at all*…

...it takes courage just to be there.


*(Paraphrasing a quote from Chogyam Trungpa)
