Those really aren't purposes, 22. That's just regular ol' living.

Maybe sky watching can be my Spark. Or walking! I'm really good at walking!

#qt6077612-3 / read by Shriram-60

That I'm not good enough for living. But then you showed me about purpose, and passion and...

#qt6077612-2 / read by Akanksha-14

The truth is I've always worried that maybe there's something wrong with me, you know?

#qt6077612-1 / read by Shriram-60

And what if you pick up the wrong thing. Or somebody else's thing, you know? Then you're stuck!

#qt6077611-2 / read by Akanksha-14

And another thing... They say you're born to do something, but how do you figure out what that thing is?

#qt6077611-1 / read by Akanksha-14

Like is all this living really worth dying for? You know what I mean?

#qt6077610-2 / read by Shriram-60

And by the time I got to mentor number 266, I was seriously asking what is all the fuss about.

#qt6077610-1 / read by Teja-84

I was existing as a theoretical construct in a hypothetical waystation between life and death.

#qt6077609-3 / read by Teja-84

Well Dez, for hundreds of years, I've had no style at all.

#qt6077609-2 / read by Shriram-60

Sometimes change is good. You have been rocking that same style for a while.

#qt6077609-1 / read by Akanksha-14

I've only been a person for an hour and even I know that's a bad idea.

#qt6077608-3 / read by Shriram-60

Maybe you should call her up and tell her that we're not crazy!

#qt6077608-2 / read by Akanksha-14

Ugh! Dorothea Williams saw me! What am I going to do? She's gonna think I'm crazy!

#qt6077608-1 / read by Teja-84

Well, the government calls it 6:30.

#qt6077607-4 / read by Teja-84

I need to be at The Half Note by 7, so this needs to happen right now!

#qt6077607-3 / read by Akanksha-14

It's simply a way to get your souls back where they belong! And it's a glorious ritual indeed, full of chanting, dancing, and best of all, bongos!

#qt6077607-2 / read by Akanksha-14

Well, we'll have to perform an old fashioned astral transmigration displacement.

#qt6077607-1 / read by Teja-84

The ruling class's core curriculum stifles dissent. It's the oldest trick in the book.

#qt6077603-4 / read by Teja-84

Of course. Like my mentor George Orwell used to say: state sponsored education is like the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.

#qt6077603-3 / read by Teja-84

In fact, all of school is a waste of time.

#qt6077603-2 / read by Shriram-60

Oh yeah, jazz is definitely pointless.

#qt6077603-1 / read by Teja-84

You can't eat dreams for breakfast, Joey.

#qt6035094-1 / read by Shriram-60

You're the boss. When you're in this chair, yeah, you are.

#qt5575966 / read by Teja-84

And then, you come along. Your life is sad and pathetic, and you're working so hard to get back to it! Why? I mean, this I gonna see!

#qt5532461-3 / read by Teja-84

Joe, I have been here for who knows how long, and I've never seen anything that's made me wanna live.

#qt5532461-2 / read by Akanksha-14

Wait, are you actually helping me?

#qt5532461-1 / read by Akanksha-14

I lost everything because of you!

#qt5514336-4 / read by Akanksha-14

You promised, but you wouldn't even give me five minutes!

#qt5514336-3 / read by Teja-84

Find your spark? My life was finally going to change!

#qt5514336-2 / read by Shriram-60

And I was about to find my spark!

#qt5514336-1 / read by Shriram-60

We really should stop sending so many through that pavilion.

#qt5514322-2 / read by Shriram-60

You five will be... insecure, and you twelve will be... self-absorbed.

#qt5514322-1 / read by Akanksha-14

Yes, amazing. Who wouldn't like working at a thankless job you're always in danger of losing due to budget cuts?

#qt5505076-2 / read by Shuja-34

How about a librarian? They're cool.

#qt5505076-1 / read by Akanksha-14

Oh-ho, this one might be a handful. But that's Earth's problem.

#qt5504998-5 / read by Shuja-34

I'm a manipulative megalomaniac who's intensely opportunistic.

#qt5504998-4 / read by Akanksha-14

I'm an irritable wallflower who's dangerously curious.

#qt5504998-3 / read by Teja-84

I'm an agreeable skeptic who's cautious yet flamboyant.

#qt5504998-2 / read by Shriram-60

Here at the You Seminar, all new souls are given unique and individual personalities.

#qt5504998-1 / read by Shuja-34

I know, but I'll go as far as I can.

#qt5500881 / read by Shriram-60

Nobody can help you! Nobody!

Like my mentor George Orwell used to say, State sponsored education is like the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.

#qt5494758 / read by Shuja-34

And the thing is, you're pretty great at jazzing.

#qt5494756-3 / read by Akanksha-14

That last box fills in when you're ready to come live.

#qt5494756-2 / read by Shriram-60

Yes, you did. Your spark isn't your purpose.

#qt5494756-1 / read by Shriram-60

Perhaps our therapy cat can go to his next appointment.

'This?' says the young fish. 'This is water. What I want is the ocean.'

#qt5493833-4 / read by Shuja-34

'The ocean?' says the older fish. 'That's what you're in right now.'

#qt5493833-3 / read by Shuja-34

I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to this older fish and says, 'I'm trying to find this thing they call the ocean.'

#qt5493833-2 / read by Akanksha-14

It's just I've been waiting on this day for... my entire life. I thought I'd feel different.

#qt5493833-1 / read by Shuja-34

Not yet. Your body's in a holding state.

#qt5493125-2 / read by Shriram-60

Am I dead?

#qt5493125-1 / read by Shriram-60

Stop talking! My unconscious mind hates you!

#qt5491915 / read by Amit-54

The world doesn't revolve around you, 22!

#qt5491914 / read by Shriram-60

You are the greatest... pain in the butt!

#qt5491913 / read by Shriram-60

I would die a happy man if I get to play with Dorothea Williams.

#qt5491637 / read by Shuja-34

I am happy to accept this very special award I requested, but that I absolutely deserve.

#qt5491603 / read by Teja-84

Oi! Movie's over! Go home!

#qt5491342 / read by Amit-54

What happened to my pants?

#qt5491322 / read by Shriram-60

I'm not sure. But I do know... I'm going to live every minute of it.

#qt5491280-2 / read by Amit-54

So what do you think you'll do? How are you gonna spend your life?

#qt5491280-1 / read by Teja-84

Lost souls are obsessed by something that disconnects them from life.

#qt5491264 / read by Amit-54

You're missing out on the joys of life. Like, uh, pizza!

#qt5491048-2 / read by Teja-84

Okay, look, I already know everything about Earth, and I don't want anything to do with it.

#qt5491048-1 / read by Teja-84

A spark isn't a soul's purpose. Oh, you mentors and your passions. Your 'purposes.' Your 'meanings of life.' So basic.

#qt5491025-5 / read by Teja-84

Because I have piano. It's what I was born to do. That's my spark.

#qt5491025-4 / read by Teja-84

We don't assign purposes. Where did you get that idea?

#qt5491025-3 / read by Shriram-60

You know, her spark. Her purpose. Was it music? Biology? Walking?

#qt5491025-2 / read by Shriram-60

We never found out what 22's purpose was.

#qt5491025-1 / read by Teja-84

Oh, I get it. He's just criticcizing me to cover up the pain of his own failed dreams.

#qt5490215-3 / read by Teja-84

Don't pay Paul any mind. People like him just bring other people down so they can make themselves feel better.

#qt5490215-2 / read by Teja-84

You are not all that. Anyone could play in a band if they wanted to.

#qt5490215-1 / read by Shriram-60

Uh, from the top. Ready. One, two, three.

#qt5489760-2 / read by Teja-84

All right, let's try something else.

#qt5489760-1 / read by Shriram-60

I just use this voice because it annoys people. It's very effective.

#qt5489721-5 / read by Shriram-60

Life is so unfair. I don't wanna die. Somebody call the wah-mbulance. Wahhhh!

#qt5489721-4 / read by Teja-84

I could sound like this if I wanted to. Or sound like this instead. I could even sound like you.

#qt5489721-3 / read by Teja-84

I don't. This is all an illusion. This whole place is a hypothetical.

#qt5489721-2 / read by Shriram-60

By the way, why do you sound like a middle-aged white lady?

#qt5489721-1 / read by Shriram-60

The zone is enjoyable, but when that joy becomes an obsession, one becomes disconnected from life.

#qt5489671-2 / read by Amit-54

You know, lost souls are not that different from those in the zone.

#qt5489671-1 / read by Shuja-34

Don't worry, they're fine. You can't crush a soul here. That's what life on Earth is for.

#qt5489656 / read by Shuja-34

I have compassion for every soul... Except you. I don't like you.

#qt5489650 / read by Shuja-34

Most people wish that, 22.

#qt5489640-2 / read by Shriram-60

I'm gonna make you wish you never died.

#qt5489640-1 / read by Shriram-60

I am the coming together of all quantized fields of the universe. Appearing in a form your feeble human brain can comprehend.

#qt5489278-1 / read by Shuja-34

You're doing my ears a favor.

#qt5489261-2 / read by Shriram-60

Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Gardner.

#qt5489261-1 / read by Shriram-60

Life is full of possibilities. You just need to know where to look. Don't miss out on the joys of life.

#qt5373516 / read by Shuja-34

It's easy to get turned around. This isn't the Great Beyond. It's the Great Before.

Hell. Hell, hell, hell.

Is it H-E-double hockey sticks?

#qt5373515-2 / read by Shuja-34

Uh, hey, is this Heaven?

#qt5373515-1 / read by Shriram-60

Music is all I think about. From the moment I wake up in the morning... to the moment I fall asleep at night. I was born to play. It's my reason for living.

#qt5373514 / read by Amit-54

There's a soul missing. The count's off.
