Nah man, you still die in the same way as a cell dies. But the total sum of consciousnesses doesn't become 0, in the same way that the death of a cell doesn't lead to the death of a person, since a new cell is born in its place. So yep-you'll disappear into non-existence one day.

This reponse Morrison is giving is making me see his approach to Batman in a whole new light. Morrison’s train of thought about Batman’s continuity is that everything is canon. And for Batman to be the figure that he is today, he had to grow from the gun toting knight of vengeance from the Golden Age to this beacon of justice that has sworn off killing that he is today. The original Golden Age version was like this single cell organism, but as time went on, that version of him had to adapt and multiply for it to survive. Each era of Batman is like growing pains in a child. Although the inherent DNA of Batman will always be there, he will no doubt change when I’m alive and will keep changing long after I’m dead. The train of thought of each era is like, “How does the inherent DNA react to a different enivronment and what kind of changes does it go through to survive?”.
Connection to the whole (the universe) is the way I see it. We are microscopic to the grand picture physically, yet our minds connect to everything (we can conceive of this, Grant just says it). It makes me feel more close to everything, find more beauty in the small stuff.
a great, intellectual man who is very inspiring both with his amazing writing but also his talk on "magick" and ritual. ive learnt a LOT from this man in many different ways
Grant Morrison blows my mind all the way to the twilight zone with his More than interstellar explaination of what life is and then captions it with "if you can understand that simple thing"
Once Grant chewed me out at a comic con when I was 16. I suggested magic in comics was like super science in comics and less believable because science is measurable. It was like this and I felt really stupid. :)
The way this man thinks is amazing and I would love to sit down and just talk with him one day. He has so much wisdom and sheer genius to pass on. Love it
Could listen to him talk about anything. Grant Morrison has completely change my perception of the universe. Check him out on Fatman on Batman podcast. Mindbending.
He’s studied metaphysics for a long time, his first Batman comic even had Crowley as a character in a flashback of the founder of Arkham interviewing him. His talk on sigils is really fascinating.
My only question is-how could one think about things like Finance and Stock Market after having thoughts like this? The way the economy operates sometimes doesn't make sense to me. But then again, maybe we need a mixture of abstract thinkers and executive doers.
I think that reality is really not as it seems to most people most of the time and that our brains have developed, and society conditions us, in a way that makes us see things not as they are. For example, we see ourselves as an entity in the present and the past behind us and gone, but science, physics, teaches us that the view of time in the video is much more apt. In special relativity there is no preferred inertial frame. We do trail back in time like snakes.
Even if my other post just there was not correct, his approach would still be valid because there are many different 'levels of description' in science, this is just one of them, a non-time-dependent broad view of things...and he gives it an ontological validity by explaining it in terms of 'mitochondria'..Dawkins, Daarwin do the same, the gene lives on through the generaions, is that false just because individuals die? Or genes only express themselves in individuals?
I grew up Mormon, so none of this is new to me at the core level. This is very reminiscent of what I heard about Temple Work for the Dead and the living. Grant's methods just have a lot less requirements and cooler sigils.
Main point I was trying to get to is where do we as the council put a limit to what becomes Malta New multiple universe or new verse in the Multiverse cuz now all of a sudden there's Warhammer is trying to jump on the scene there's books trying to come in that look like kryon entities that are not kryon think I can jump on the bandwagon and come in and the only reason I'm doing this is because I got told record the truth and this is what I found
ok i dont know if im going to get bash for this but im going to comikaze and i want to have him sign a x-men poster and not sure cause i know he worked on other comics . if you had to choose one what would you have him sign
Even though there might be this immortal mitochondria, it still, from what I gather, did not exist at the Big Bang or before. The conception of the immortal mitochondria on Earth or the seeding of it via a comet slamming into Earth would be something to look into. Abiogenesis would probably have more to say on this matter. It's a fairly interesting and logical assessment from a non-scientist though.
This guy is my all-time favorite comic book writer, but why can't life just be life, death be death, and the past be the past? I've spent years of my life thinking that a profound realization could come from muddying up those lines, and come up with nothing- just a muddied picture of reality. I think that there is a point to life and a meaning to existence, but to find the answers, one must retain what one knows and expand upon it. Telling ourselves that we are confused about everything that we think we know will not lead us anywhere!
But what I've written in Star knows his finger snap sent everybody to our reality from the MCU not the actors who play the characters but the Persona of the characters self which means a fractal of the spirit of the character from that reality merged with our reality does that mean they're going to take manifest in physical forms or are they going to incarnated as a baby and just grow up and live that time until I don't know
+Pablo Cordoba But... 'I'll try and explain this as fast as possible this isn't metaphysics this is actual physical reality when you think about it because most people don't consider the dimension of time in their lives because the way we live we only see sections of time. So, to try and explain it as quickly as possible in a way that everyone will understand right, you're standing in front of me with your microphone but in order to get hear you had to come through that door so can you point to coming through that door? You know what I mean? In order to get here today you had to be ten years old, can you point to being ten years old? No you can't because the way that we experience time we can only see it in memory we can't actually go there even though we know there is a place called the past where all this stuff happened and where all those old comics came from and where you as a kid lived you can't go there, you can't even point, you can't show me a direction where the past is but think of yourself as the leading edge of you right this is you right now moving forward through time where behind you there are all these different versions of you going back and back and back and the same for all these guys in here same for me, I go back through that door well imagine you could see that in time it wouldn't be a guy with a back and a front it would be a long trailing thing and it contains all of you and it's got all these arms and all these eyes and it moves backwards through the door and backwards down the stairs and it's getting younger all the time through that trail but like I said we can't see that but if we could see that it would look like a huge snake and it would keep going back and there's lot of those snakes and they would all weave together every one of those kids running about everyone here all stars going backwards through time and eventually you get to be one year old somewhere in time you are right now one year old because if you were not one year old you couldn't be here today and that one year old then disappears into his mother's womb except it's still physical you're still the same you except it's getting smaller and smaller and then it goes in there and that same physical thing divides into an egg cell and a sperm cell and the egg cell grows out of your mother so it's still present nothing has gone away right the actual physical thing of you has now become an egg cell inside your mother and a sperm cell going up inside your father and the same thing happens to your mother and father going back into their mothers and fathers right so are you starting to see this? Then you take this right back, everybody in the human race goes back into the same human root then somewhere along the evolutionary tree we're joined by apes but it's all still one thing the tree is the one thing and the tree is rooted three hundred billion years ago in the ocean which is when the first living cell appeared and started to divide and as I said the first mitochondrial cell the DNA cell is still dividing inside your body right now it's immortal it never went anywhere it just keeps diving and making more copies of itself in all living forms so what we actually are is this amazing single cell which has grown itself over three hundred billion years into a gigantic... imagine I see it in my head as an ??? made out of people and bodies so we are kind of the leading edge of the smart part of it because we can think better that all the other animals, we've got a kind of way of connecting. That's what it is if you can understand that simple thing if you can see the idea of life as a whole thing existing in time and there is only this one huge thing existing in the planet earth a huge living entity that feeds on the forests and feed on itself and that's us that's what we really are and if you can imagine yourself right now the skin cells come off and die millions of them all the time every ten seconds you lose like millions of skin cells or whatever it is I can't remember the exact number. But imagine you were one of those skin cells every skin cell has got a little architecture inside it's got all these proteins it's got all this stuff it's got a function if there's an infection the cells will run in and fight the war for you so imagine how it feels to be one of those cells in your body does it think the way we do? I'm thinking we're like that on the big body because when a cell flakes away it dries up and it dies can you imagine that moment for the little cell that thought it was really cool and it's got a job to do and suddenly it's oh my god I'm dying and it drops away but your body stays still there there's a part of you dead on the floor buy your body's still alive now imagine that on the big scale we imagine these bodies we're in die and fade and get shriveled and dry and drop dead but the big living thing hasn't dies it just keeps renewing itself and we're the cells that allow it to renew itself and I kind of believe that what we call consciousness and how we can all think and share thoughts is actually how the big thing thinks and we're kind of in the river of that consciousness and we're alive and when we die we leave it but it doesn't die it never dies so I kind of see that nobody ever dies in the planet really.' Yeah that took me fucking ages so you're welcome.
One thing that helps is knowing that a soft "i" in a more standard pronunciation sounds almost like the "e" in "bed" in his accent. You hear this in his 45 minute lecture on sigil magick where he pronounces "sigil" almost like "sejjle."
The speed force is the best way I can describe what you're describing is everything's always constant it's happening but the past is once we've lived it in and gone through it it's not really changeable unless you can jump into the speed force and go back and let me know what that does Flashpoint and the forward even though it's happening and already happened it's not set in stone happened because of our ability to make the random choice at the random time that could alter possibilities of the way things will go that's the way that kryon and I have best been able to combined are theories or at least that's what I've been able to combined kryon and my theory I'm really like to hear your view on it I was Buckminster Fuller reincarnated 11 days after he died I was born Harold Fuller July 12th 1983 Bucky was born July 12th 1895 pass away July 1st 1983
Hi all, I have created a new channel th-cam.com/channels/sdZtPUYYgZHjFaVSrtsG2g.html
I like to imagine this was all in response to a very simple question about Batman.

"Hey Grant, do you think that it's ok to retcon Batman canon?"
"Hey Grant who do you think should play batman in the new movie?"
"I'll try to explain this as fast as possible..."

Sometimes, I just find myself needing to watch this.
I watch your videos a lot Kelly, I should’ve known you’d be an appreciator of Grant Morrison too! 🙂
This is what writing Batman does to you.
nah, writing Batman is what you get to do when you think like this.

This is what happens when your creative process consists of doing hallucinogenics and reading old comics.

All the interviewer asked was, "Hey Grant, how are you?"
that microphone is just getting heavier and heavier
this explains how lex luthor sees the world at the end of all star superman
Years later, I want to hear an interview with the interviewer to see how his life was impacted by this conversation.
Connection to the whole (the universe) is the way I see it. We are microscopic to the grand picture physically, yet our minds connect to everything (we can conceive of this, Grant just says it). It makes me feel more close to everything, find more beauty in the small stuff.

Once Grant chewed me out at a comic con when I was 16. I suggested magic in comics was like super science in comics and less believable because science is measurable. It was like this and I felt really stupid. :)
Original question: So Grant, how do you approach writing Batman as oppossed to Superman?
"I'll try to explain this as fast as possible..."
Nope.
I'll have what he's having
littleripper312 Lots and lots of redpills.
That would be "chaos magick"

“Hey Grant, where do you buy all those snazzy outfits?”
“ i’ll try to explain this as quick as possible .....”
I love how the guy is like "What the Fu** did I get into?"
I like him he's an original thinker .. He's just fucking awesome. And how he lives his life .... impeccable
The accent made 10x more delightful.
Each birth is an experiment of life, a new expression at a new point in time.
It makes me very pleased to know some people don't fully understand him.
This is what Donnie Darko is about
Because of this, I now understand tracers from psychedelics
That is some deep shit.

Anyone know when The Church of Morrisonism is starting?
i think he is talking about experiencing life in frames per second
Superb 👌
Could listen to him talk about anything. Grant Morrison has completely change my perception of the universe. Check him out on Fatman on Batman podcast. Mindbending.
What he is talking about reminds me of Donnie Darko.
I love watching this interviewer trying to be attentive and understanding of an explanation of all reality. "Uhhumm...go on (head nod)"
Grant could talk about taking a giant shit after eating taco bell and it still will be the most existentially inspiring thing you ever heard
He's talking about the fourth dimension and that snake is called a spime (space time)
Enjoyed this. Life isnt gonna stop even if we drop dead.
That’s not entirely true
