Vegetating in front of the television I catch the last closing scenes of the movie The Producers by Mel Brooks. It was about a scam to over sell investments in a stage play by producing a stage play so bad it would only last for one performance. Since it obviously was a failure the investors wouldn't expect any return on their investment. The stage play in question in the movie was called SPRING TIME FOR HITLER.
Mel Brooks did a stunning recreation in the movie of the opening scene from SPRING TIME FOR HITLER replete with dancing Nazis. The Fuhrer was played by an actor best known for being stoned on LSD! The audience ( in the movie ) was at first stunned and shocked until they realized it was all a farce and a comedy. What was supposed to be a monument to bad taste became a laugh riot and the stage play ( in the movie ) was an outstanding success! Bad news for the producers who would now need to pay back investors who owned like 2,000 % of the profits.
Incredibly ironically the actual movie had some what the same problem. It was denounced by some as glorifying Nazi Germany and insensitive to old wounds. As the years went by it was appreciated as an all time classic in pure unadulterated humor. It was so ridiculous in it's portrayal of Nazi Germany it destroyed any credibility of the Fourth Reich. In that way the movie almost seemed to be about itself.
The very idea of reading a book and actually being a part of it is an old scenario. But it is more then a fantasy. Gregg Braden argued a hologram was just a myriad little images that you saw as a single image and that produced the three dimensional effect. As above so below. As human beings we see objects and rather everything in existence as an isolated piece. We do have the advantage of knowing history even though few of us can actually feel it. The isolation is not really real. Everything that is and ever was coexists at the same time and place. Likewise every piece and time is mirrored in everything else. To know a grain of sand is to know the whole planet it rests upon.
We live a reality and that is good but the more we think about it the less obvious it is if we are actually in that reality or just observing it or just remembering it. Or if we are an individual or just a reflection of someone else. To know anything is good but likewise limited by trying to understand a multifaceted existence using only a few senses. The only way to get around that ( for us ) is to always consider what we see is not all that is.
But the rest is just the same. It just exists on different levels of vibrations.
