Captain Picard died a few weeks ago, literally in the real world. RIP Patrick Stewart.
The entry video covered 5 Star Trek episodes that impacted me too, similarly to the narrator, but differently, of course. The nice thing about Star Trek, is there are sooooooo many levels of meaning to internalize.
Briefly:
#One: inspired the below post
#Two: caused me to move forward in time, not backwards, and to remember it’s better to die as the man I am than live any other life
#Three: helped me to let go of past failed romances, especially “Alene”, and “Raemin” (…names acronymed to protect identities & privacy, but you know who you are…)
#Four: moved my higher self to create the below Howdie post

#Five: reminded me that losing the “present-moment-awareness-meditative-state” fucks up the current (…ie the current moment, aka “currency”, which our focus, time, and attention are the only true money that exists…)
Final points:
The character Picard rejected illusions, even when they were pleasant. There seems to be something within most human egos that does that, including my own.
Picard even influenced the Kirk character to do the same.
But these are just characters (…representing our egos, who realize they don’t want to remain in illusions forever…). On some level, we all realize the illusory nature of our so-called “reality”. We reject the fake illusion, but we want the genuine illusion, if it can be said that there is such a pleasant reality, which we truly want.
I say there is a satisfactory & satisfying illusion, once we cast off the character, as Patrick Stewart did recently. Picard was never satisfied with the fake illusion, but I suspect Stewart IS satisfied with the genuine illusion.
The journey is the destination!
Flourish in the NOW!
It’s good training for the future, which doesn’t exist!
The parable of, "Everything that I needed to know in life I learned from Star Trek"
Since I mention Star Trek so often in my writing, I thought I’d do a post that collates all Star Trek references in one spot.
