The most direct implication, freedom everywhere

John was accused of lying - most of the information in the world is 'deception', isn't it.

Ask John to tell the truth -- the truth is in front of everyone's eyes, and we don't see it
, don't know how to see it, don't know how to see it. The eyes of the heart are closed, and you use
what you "believe" to understand the truth, and then ask the so-called framed truth
to tell you the truth, is it possible.

John's immortality is implied throughout the film-time
people face time, repeat mistakes, repeat problems, repeat rounds of life.
That's why he has to change places in 10 years, not entirely because he can't live, but
because 'vulgar' people are afraid of 'truth', so the truth leaves for self-preservation,
this leaving itself, ironically thinking with other people's minds think.
At the same time, this also contradicts why the Buddha said to jump out of reincarnation.
(Not so much bliss, it's 'indifferent' to the disturbance,)

John was joking, just telling a story--what else to say.
The real existence disappears as soon as it is said.
Experience expresses 'the real being' more truly than words.
What is a truer expression than experience?
Art

, but Wilde said Art is useless.
I once agreed, and now I agree more:
people don't believe in the reality they are in, but pursue the 'reality' in their heads. Artists are insane, because only in this way can the insanity of mortals be mapped

to those who understand .
The mortals mentioned here are those who use the knowledge they have learned to deceive themselves and
others. (But only the more you learn, and the more you open to the plug-in to nature: direct spiritual insight, can you think like this, maybe it's one of them...) This lovely and scary world.

My plants are growing new leaves again

- Every time he changes places, maybe he says? This is one of his 'missionary' ways
