THE GHOST IN THE SHELL - THE TAO OF HOLLYWOOD

“We cling to memories as if they define us, but they don't. What we do is what defines us.”

                                                                                                                   - Dr. Ouelet

WHO ARE YOU? Is the primordial question.

AND WHO WORE YOU BEFORE THAT? Is the second one.

Time is just an illusion. Your past exists only in the frame of your ego consciousness.

Alone, disconnected from its source the Ego finds its identity in the stored memories.

A past is built in our minds to justify our Ego existence, thus our mind becomes a prison.

We use this past as our foundation for our action. We carry our defects and limitations as a treasure in the name of Ego identity. WE have the potential to be anything we want to be but are being restricted by the Ego to remain loyal to our past, to remain the same.

Without a past we have the freedom to be anything we want to be.

Without an Ego you return to the source. Without an Ego you become unlimited and unbound.

Time is just an illusion. The only thing that exists is the eternal now.

You are not the one you think you are. You are the one born in this moment.

“Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.”

                                                                                                                -James Dean

P.S. The movie is a cheap and uninspired redo of the 1995 cult classic.

IMO not worth the time and money to see - unless, like me, you are a Sci Fi sucker.
