The world is the same but everyone wears colored sunglasses I didn't look into Norse mythology that deeply but the creation of the universe fits step by step with chakras One makes two, two makes everything and so on I also found chakras in the Genesis but in there they are going in reverse, kinda like it's a fall from grace It starts from the crown and ends with the root, I can't pinpoint the root exactly but the beginning is very clear

The only thing that anyone can be sure of is emptiness and nothingness Nothing is just what it is, nothing You can't have a whole lot of nothing because it's not measurable like putting zero and zero together it's still zero When nothing stops being nothing, it becomes a something and it takes up space in some shape or form Nothing can't just exist on its own, otherwise it would be known as "everything" For nothing to be there, there must be something to show contrast Nothing by itself is always the same but something is a polar opposite to nothing and so takes up space Something can be anything, grain of sand or a person It can look different in comparison to something else but still equal to nothing Nothing already takes up infinite space and so something has the potential to take up the same infinite also Before born, people were just that, nothing When they start to exist, they start to realize their potential which is in reality is infinite There are infinite possibilities existing for humans in general Somewhere in the past people could not ever imagine the world we live in today, but there still was a chance for this world we have now to exist We can't see the future which also has infinite possibility to be anything and so we go for the next best thing and choose nothing, wu wei right there While we existed in nonexistence and were nothing, we also were a part of everything There is no reincarnation in that sense because we are every person that ever lived Maybe you meditate for it or wake up one day and remember someone else's life That's exactly what you're doing, you're remembering it because you forgot once you stopped being nothing We just want to remember what it was or will be like There is no pressure or hurry to make everything happen right now You have infinite potential so it's kinda pointless to realize in a finite body Through the right training it's possible to change perspective and take a look at the world in a different light

Huh? No one is going to bring this up? Awrite, more writing time Maybe all these kids are the same from the previous generations because they're all teenagers or something But there's something around now that makes a huge difference and creates a new subculture that could never exist any time before in history It's kinda hard to understand for older people and these who weren't around or paying attention while these things were happening, and so all you can say about kids these days is that they are a little tech savvy but they are actually too smart for their own good Internet makes a big difference since kids these days have access to almost anything they want through internet and so they can choose to become smarter then other kids or give up and just be part of the system and look for cheap thrills These who just go with the flow look for things to do online for fun and sit on facebooks, play games, and watch movies. These are the types discussed so far in this thread. There are also people who at a young age look for ways for the first group to be able to enjoy these games, movies, and music. They add a new dimension to the internet everyone knows about and instead of fun paradise it becomes a sure death experience. There is this anonymity thing that could be classified as this generation's thing, even though it started happening almost from the internet's creation, it became a big deal around 2000s and since then the news wanted to know what is going on around these 4chans and stuff. Years ago, I think in the 80s I don't really remember, there was this guy who while in college invented a way for secret websites to exist. He made this program that let's you access websites that won't be reachable unless you have the program. These websites are mostly full of super mega ultra illegal things and you can imagine what might happen to the person who runs the site if he gets caught, and I'm not just talking about downloadable movies and music, brrrr! The internet run on these people and they're kinda mean They might do some scary stuff and hurt people but that happens only because they can and they can't do that stuff to people who are also anonymous, not because they are being nice only to these people but because it's impossible to reach them. There might be a thousand people who stay anonymous and it might look like they stand together but they don't even know if there is someone else out there or if they think the same, so when something happens on the internet there will be a thousand different responses. The best way to protect yourself is to join them and become anonymous. It's not a club, you just have to remove your presence from the internet. Originally there is barely any of it online, but there is facebook and urge for people to be seen online. Use a nickname and don't repeat it in more then once anywhere online. Don't use your name and stay out of trouble, if you get in trouble the "internet police" will destroy you. There is no way to talk to them and there is no way to know who did what. The only thing they do is express themselves and their opinions online anonymously. They are not looked at as individuals but as a group. Individual actions might be numerous or just one small thing. There's no way of knowing who from the people you meet might be one of them or they might have done something in that nature without knowing. Their culture is becoming more and more public but from my point of view it's slowly disappearing and getting replaced by clueless people who just discovered it. I say that now, but I remember the same thing being said when I first discovered it myself and that's kinda funny

OK you old people you, let me tell you what a modern hipster is like A phrase that identifies hipsters today is "I liked it before it was cool" They like weird stuff no one else likes and stay away from the popular norm They strife to be individual and out of the ordinary so much that they just become weird looking and stand out in that way They like old stuff that no one else likes anymore and new stuff no one hears about Their own nature to like unknown stuff makes the unknown stuff become known and they don't like it anymore because, in case it's a band, the band becomes a sellout and they move onto a new thing They keep moving and changing and become a giant monstrous mess of interests that's hard to keep up with Their interest is close to arts and making said arts They go to arts school and make music They dress like your grandpa would and wear huge glasses even when they have perfect vision, some of them don't have perfect vision because they sit all day on the facebook OR they are so cool that they sit all day on myspace, remember that thing? Hipsters are not the pop culture and pop culture does not interest them because they are anti pop culture They stand out and become big because they are in a club that other kids are not in and everyone who's not in wants to be part of the group Oh, and they like coffee
