Waking Life 2001 Full Movie
"... So we're walking along, and Lady Gregory turns to me and says, "Let
me explain to you the nature of the universe. Now Philip K. Dick is
right about time, but he's wrong that it's 50 A.D. Actually, there's
only one instant, and it's right now, and it's eternity. And it's an
instant in which God is posing a question, and that question is
basically, 'Do you want to, you know, be one with eternity? Do you want
to be in heaven?' And we're all saying, 'No thank you. Not just yet.'
And so time is actually just this constant saying 'No' to God's
invitation. I mean that's what time is. I mean, and it's no more 50 A.D.
than it's two thousand and one. And there's just this one instant, and
that's what we're always in."
And then she tells me that actually this is the narrative of
everyone's life. That, you know, behind the phenomenal difference, there
is but one story, and that's the story of moving from the "no" to the
"yes." All of life is like, "No thank you. No thank you. No thank you."
then ultimately it's, "Yes, I give in. Yes, I accept. Yes, I embrace." I
mean, that's the journey. I mean, everyone gets to the "yes" in the
end, right? ..."
