There's no connection to my self...
I'm the face in your dreams of glass"

He believed everything; he believed nothing.
His own self increasingly confounded him. One day he could passionately feel one thing, the next day the opposite. Other times provisional states would alternate from hour to hour, sometimes all crashed into chaos. He would wake up with this feeling: Who would he turn out to be on this day? How many warring selves were there within him? Which was his real natural self? Was there such a thing? How would he know it when he saw it? Would it have a guarantee attached to it?
Lost in such a room of broken mirrors, with jagged reflections backing into eternity, he felt numb. His instinct was to escape, to seek out someone to talk to.

These days everyone was insisting on their identity, coming out as a man, woman, gay, black, Jew – brandishing whichever feature they could claim as if without a tag they wouldn’t be human.

E pa gos'n Hanif-u - dobro nam doshli u udruzhenje Escapeologista gdje MPD je norma vishe nego izuzetak. "Backing into eternity" te chini isto tako inbitvincom - kontash, ni tamo ni vamo - tako da dobro doshao nam i u to udruzhenje (koje je ustvari dio onog provog udruzhenja).

Sve mi se chini kao da je gos'n Hanif chitao Diceman-a???

Za razliku od Diceman Luke-a, Hanif-ov instikt je jachi i ima rjeshenje:

"...seek out someone to talk to."

Ili?

a man lies in his bed in a room with no door
he waits hoping for a presence, something, anything to enter
after spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he's staring
he's alive, but feels absolutely nothing
so, is he?
when he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him
by nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact
no tradebacks...
so this is what it's like to be an adult
if he only knew now what he knew then...

i'm open
come in
i'm open
come in

lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers
he decides to dream...
dream up a new self for himself

Eh pa (opet ja pochinjem ovako) Hanif je pragmatichar - njega ne interesuju nebuloze. On ti je k'o hirurg, ili stolar, ili arhitekt ili obuchar - on vidi problem i treba da ga rijeshi - on ne voli neodredjene osjechaje, ne voli maglu, mrak i neizvjesnost straha. Sad mozhesh rechi da to ne voli niko - i u pravu si. Ali niko to ne prezire, ili je mozhda josh bolje da kazhem da se niko toga ne ustruchava i nikom to nije tako neprijatno kao Hanif-u (ili bilo kojem drugom pragmaticharu). Ali pragmatichari redovno mijenjaju "magic for facts" - zhao mi je "no tradebacks". Shto ono jedan moj haver jednom rek'o - treba brate znati i u mahmurluku uzhivati. Zna bolan svako rasola se hvatiti...eeehhh!

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or

Oh, I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what you are and

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

We are not ourselves, actually there is nothing we can call a ”self” any more; we are manifold, we have as many selves as there are groups to which we belong… The neurotic has overtly a disease from which everybody is suffering…
J.H. van den Berg

My aim is to bring about a psychic state in which my patient begins to experiment with his own nature – a state of fluidity, change and growth, in which there is no longer anything eternally fixed and hopelessly petrified.
Carl Jung


The torch of chaos and doubt – this is what the sage steers by.
Chuang-Tzu

I am Zarathustra the godless: I still cook every chance in my pot.

Oh, Mr Rhinehart has just taken a steep dive of the fringe of the world and the "self" as he and we knew it following his will to dive deeper than ever before and deeper than anyone has ever dived prior to his stunt - nontheless unaware of the fact that at the same time the stone of circumstantial necessity has been tossed into the mirror of everything he and we know, shattering our meaning-carrying ontological systems of conceptualization into small pieces of uncertainty. Mr Hanif would never do that... Never! He's a professional. He practices parsimony and pragmatism.
Do we suffer from some kind of separation anxiety as we are feeling increasingly forced to abandon the fragments of the world we once knew? Are we abdicating the epistemological throne as it falls to pieces which no longer make sense? Simultaneously we seem to welcome this new, yet ever-distant, ontological salvation that lies somewhere in the most of hope into the days ahead. Or, in a word, we appear as stuck with fragments of meaning, the fragments that belong to conceptually incommensurable polarized worlds.

This is my face
Covered in freckles
With the occasional spot
And some veins

This is my body
Covered in skin
And not all of it
You can see

And, this, is my mind
It goes over and over
The same old lines

And, this, is my brain
It's torturous analytical thoughts
Make me go insane

And I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I got a family
And I drink cups of tea

I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got familiar faces
I've got a mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places

And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's gonna be alright
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's gonna be alright

This is my face
I've got a thousand opinions
And not the time to explain

And this is my body
And no matter how you try and disable it
Yes I'll still be here

And, this, is my mind
And although you try to infringe
You cannot confine

And, this, is my brain
And even if you try and hold me back
There's nothing that you can gain

'Cause I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I've got a family
And I drink cups of tea

I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got familiar faces
I've got a mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places

I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's gonna be alright
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's gonna be alright
