during the break

First student: My songs are like things I made that came alive and are separate from me.

Second student: Are you on drugs?

First student: This is the drug.

Third student: My songs don’t come alive, but they do laugh at me.

First student: Then they do the same, they’re separate from you.

Third student: I wish I felt like you, acting as though it’s great.

First: It is.

Second: What makes it great?

First: It’s like the mind, it’s like your existence.

Third: How did get that?

First: You can’t control the mind, right? Even though everybody believes they’re in control of it, if you really look you aren’t.

Second: I’m in control of mine.

First: Really?

Second: Really.

First: Do you expect to be thinking something, anything, an hour from now?

Second: Sure.

First: And you know now what you will be thinking about an hour from now?

Second: Not necessarily.

First: But you know you will be thinking because thought is like a current in a river, you don’t stop it, you can’t, it’s flowing and at best you can only notice it.

Third: You lost me, how did your song come alive and why is that like your mind?

First: Because you can realize you are thinking and it is an uncontrollable experience, it’s cellular activity basically but you can also realize it is happening. So, that view, that unexplainable place where you realize what you call you is just cellular activity, is like something that doesn’t exist realizing it is something that doesn’t exist. Make sense?

Second and Third (together). No.
