Sense of perception


Our sense of perception has been dictated by rituals and customs since birth. We are by-products of our parents, siblings, other family members, friends and societies. Everything that we've been exposed to has had an effect on our life, consciously and sub-consciously, whether we like it or not. This is how evolution works, whether of the mind or the physical self, we are merely a genetic and memetic¹ result.


¹ – a cultural or behavioural element passed on by imitation or other non-genetic means.


The senses are meant to serve as guides for our journey through this reality, so in turn we have been attuned through evolution to detect the correct stream of data which we are being confronted with. Unfortunately our senses are not attuned perfectly to this reality. There are flaws to our senses as evolutionary biology has shown. There are even “areas” where we completely lack the natural ability to detect, as in the case of sonar. So this in turn must make you wonder, what is it that we will never perceive.

The Third World Warehouse (Draft 4)

The following ideas are views expressed by the author as possibilities, and not circumstances actually in existence. This is merely a theory of a possible outcome, or a row of outcomes brought forth by the misuse, abuse, and possibly moral use of Capitalism, in our modern-day world, still desperately clutching onto the views expressed by Jefferson, Locke, Lincoln, Franklin, Washington, Rosseau, and Payne, to avoid losing power and control of this sophisticated mountain or tower of a Republic. The list can go on of the authors of this Democracy, but unfortunately though, it seems their call for moderation and conservatism is thrown out by the world of today towards the use of State funds for personal political gains, and the selfish Demigod maintained by the general populace who strive for liberation through luxury and expenditure - the accumulation of things or items to satiate the empty chasm found in every heart of a Capitalist that owns nothing internally but want to rule the extern...

⁸the first world entity (draft 1)

Regressing is a form of incorporating the past into the present. Altering the future, until it ceases to exist. This is the day that never comes. The ironic and bitter twist of existence. Suddenly. Without warning. Switched off. Will Smith doesn’t win another Academy Award. Instead, even his greatest fans will disappear. No heaven. No new dimension to explore. None of it being in a state of reality, or some logical conclusion to an illogical situation. The state of affairs, matter least, if one were to behold the truth as substantial evidence of permanency. Additions: The concept of propaganda giving leverage to certain individuals, for the sake of honour, or policy driven political swivel. In essence, man must subordinate himself to fit in the vacuum that fits him only, or that which he grows into. He processes his life according to a specific path of domestication. According to speculation he fulfils his life through performing monotonous activities repeatedly. For eternity...

Addiction (draft 0.1)

One cannot always get what one wants. Or needs, for that matter. Though surely your choice may not actually be an important, or crucial, one after all. Meaning, is it of consequence to qualify and classify reality? To expect something in return, even though it may not be immediately relevant to you. Does the step towards mentally conceiving the universe, and the study of it, bring about the sense of orbit which one can attain by speaking words of wisdom? Travelling the globe to teach and to learn. Miracles we are expected to believe in, at the cost of heresy. One big conglomerate church taking people’s money at the cost of validity of said request, and the relevance in turn, as to what to expect in return, if any such matter can be found needed by the ones in charge, or the ones believed to be. So the question begs; where do miracles come from? Ignorance? Arrogance? Enforcement of said event as truth per policy dictated. By hierarchy created and manipulated sincerely, morally, and even...
