Down HERE in the DEEP BLUE SEA
Why is Spobgebob living underwater beside Patrik and Squidwards???
Let me explain my persprective: Spongebob Squarepants shows us that we have 3 areas of thinking:
Spongebob: He lives in an Ananas (naná = fruit), it resemlbes the heart, our feelings (Emotional Intelligence), which connects us to our true self or soul, which only god knows. The Limbic System. Our inner child soaking up like a sponge. Everything we experience in our childhood lies the foundation of who we are today. He is more right brain oriented: emotional, creative, believer (he can ride stones!)
Thaddaeus Quentin. Tentacle: the Head. Has the most high viepoint 2 horicontically windows, which look like eyes. The neo cortex. The spirit. He lives in the middle and resembles the brain. He is the left brain analytical. Fails to create something other people understand. He fails to communicate. Aramaic tadda means hearted. Squid are shy, intelligent like a rat and curious.
Patrik Star Stone, form shape the glourius, lives under a brown rock. Patrik means the noble man, our belly brainstem/reptilian brain our ego. Quote “Go for your gut feeling” He is bad at thinking but likes eating ice cream. He is chubby and has no nose and a lack of common sense. In the Episode Something is smelling we find out that he relly can not smell.
Spongebob and Patrik are best friends. Spongebob who is always happy encourages Patrik to go outside and play. Thaddaeus fails to connect with other fish. He prefers to be alone, playing clarinete.
Band Geek Episode: Squidwards tells Squillian, his arch enemy that he has a band. Squid calls out for a choir contest in Bikini Bottom to get the BEST musicians. Many fish come. On their first choir trial they fail miserably at playing their instrument (Patrik:“Is mayonaise an instrument”). Their skills do not improve within the next few days. Before the concert starts Squidwards tells them to play as loudly as possible, but ultimately looses his faith hope and love for his project. He starts crying and abandoms his band. On the day of the concert Squillian asks Thaddaeus where he band is. He replies “They are all DEAD”. Thinking shut down, brain masturbation stops. Suprisingly when the curtain opens Spongebob (THE HEART) takes the role of the lead singer and together with ALL other fish he sings “SWEET VICTORY by David Glen Eisley.
The bottom line is:
EVERYTHING outisde of YOU (Heart, Brain, Gut) is transitory and can fall apart. YOU are the only constant there is, not your family, not your job, not your friends, ONLY YOU and GOD who directs everything. The flower of live tells us that EVERYTHING is connected and that everybody is human after all and has all those parts inside of themselves. Only with your Spongebob you can achieve anything sustainable and precious. This is what Band Geek teaches: the Internet, Computers, your brain is worthless if you do not connect it with your heart and gut.
