I think I was John Malkovich once, it felt weird. What does it feel like to be Andre, John? Or is that JohnAndre. Are you all these names. Have I been reading the posts of a single person? Why are you only one woman? What's wrong with being a woman? You should try it more often.
In fact I am everything, even you, created you in my head. It's something I made up one day when I turned on the computer, and there you were. Funny how that works, I keep making these things that won't go away. Sometimes I can unmake things, but before I know it I make them right back. I'm not worried about it since it seems to be part of life. I figure I can't control what I make, just like I can't control my heart beat (God knows how I made that, I can't even see it!)

But that's just my gut reaction. I guess the question really comes down to what waking life looks like. If it's really ugly, perhaps we're better off with dreams.

Do you believe that? How DO YOU KNOW? Since the self is isolated from the other, you can make assumptions but you can't really know. Perhaps you see things exactly like through my eyes, perhaps nothing gets through, or perhaps it is (as it seems) a sort of variable continuum that mysteriously connects us and isolates us, varying greatly from person to person depending upon the kind of life we lead and the choices we make.

[JohnAndre] Well you can't be everything, for one thing you can't be me. You can be Andre when I'm done with him. "What I am is the everything I create" I like that. I like that a lot. It's a tad less cumbersome than: 'The self is a thought-flow of ever-changing, interrelated and interconnected, inorganic, biological, social and intellectual, static patterns of value responding to Dynamic Quality.'
