Do you believe in the collective unconcious? I do, i think it's just a part of our physiology we havn't fully tapped into yet. I think things like meditation take you to the cusp of that, to somewhere on the edge, and we as humans are capable of so much more, but that's not the point...I was thinking that you know how you meet all these people online but there are a few that...kind of filter through and just stick around...you'd still talk to them even after not talking to them for ages, even if you never really talked about anything too deeply or whatever? I think in a way, that might be people you've connected with in some way on that plane, and of course, we dont understand it, so we never know.
I have a handful of seemingly random people that I know strictly online, who i've "known" for years, some of them almost a decade, and it's like, I think about it, and had I not thought about how little I know about them one day, I would have never asked, and never known and realized how bizarre the whole thing is. Out of thousands of people we interact with that we dont know online...have conversations with lots of them...how many actually stick? Not a whole lot...it seems too curious for the people that stick around to not have some sort of subconcious connection. It's almost like a comfort thing is triggered, you know? Like when you smell hot laundry or something, you just instinctively relax a bit. I wonder if maybe we associate those people with that feeling or something, maybe we dont realize we do it, and that's why they stay. It doesn't even have to be mutual, it's just weird, ya know? Just look at some of the people you know and ask yourself how you know them, it doesn't even have to be an online thing. You have day to day conversations with the people, so you never really ask the big questions. Some of those people, I have no idea what their family is like...are their parents together? Do they have brothers and/or sisters? etc. It's like I know this person, I know they like rap music alot, I always talk with them about rap when i'm really excited about an album or a show or something, but I have no idea who they are outside of that, aside from some minor stuff, you know? Yet, for whatever reason, they are a comfort thing, someone i'd call a friend, and yet...I know absolutely nothing about them....
