Misrepresentations Grind My Gears

Mother culture is a motherfucker, the media is her bitch.

I am not fully prepared to take the time it is guaranteed to take to do a full exposé on the media and its misrepresentations, as I would like, but here is a little something I thought about the other day.

For those of yall who do not know me, I am in NOT a scary movie fan WHATSOEVER. I am the type of girl that when the commercials come on I close my eyes and cover my ears while making loud noises as to keep myself from hearing the craziness. The other day we went to go see WORLD WAR Z (amazing movie btw) and during preview time, a preview for a scary movie came on. I decided that I wouldn't make too much noise in the movies but I covered my eyes and turned away but turned back just in time to see the title flash ominously...The Conjuring. I thought to myself "blah another stupid scary movie" and continued on with life not giving it another thought. 
However, that night the commercial came on TV and I saw a bit more than before, this time. I was slightly freaked out.
 In a panic I said to Amiiiri, "Ugh why the fuck would somebody do some shit like that, they shouldn't be out there conjuring shit anyways." 
Before the words even came out of my mouth I knew I had misjudged everything.

First mistake, who the fuck am I to say anybody shouldn't be doing anything?! I always chastise myself when I get judge-y because I am an authority on none but myself. 
Second mistake. Since when does the media properly portray anything (unless, like The Matrix, its like little pimp slaps to those who know). When Amiiiri and I originally watched The Spirit Science, there was one of the videos that was about Astral Projection

Quick rundown time:
 AP is the conscious separation of your soul and your body. Now that alone sounds super scary but first think about standard belief. If your body is just a house for your soul then why can't your soul leave it? Do you never leave your house?
It is what some people call Out of Body Experiences. Also it is quite close to what some call Lucid Dreaming.
It is reported that there are infinite things you can do while Astral Projecting, some of them being: 
  • Travel the world
  • Travel the universe (other planets & realms, etc.)
  • Travel time
  • Talk with your angels
  • Talk to deceased people
  •  many more cool things

Any who, when I originally learned about it, I told her that it sounded like something that I would like to try (still haven't succeeded). Then she told me about this movie Insidious. Now I had heard of this movie but was never even going to think about watching it, so she told me a bit about it. For those who havent seen it/heard about it this is all I remember: It is about a boy who became comatose, got stuck in the spirit world and his father had to go and find him.

My issue with both these movies is really just another annoying case of Mother  Culture misrepresenting things. When she starts with spirituality it grinds my gears much harder than when she misrepresents everything else. Movies like Insidious and The Conjuring put forth only negativity in fields where people already don't know enough. Even in cases where people know better its easy to slip into the grasp of mother culture. Just watch out guys there are lies all around us. Funniest part of it all is...both movies were made by the same people. Shall we say conspiracy?! 

Indeed.

Nothing is real.

How do you know what is real and what is not?
Easy.
Nothing is real.


Break it all the way down. All the way back to elementary science.
Atoms.

They are teeny-tiny molecules that are made up of even more teeny-tiny elements with the neutrons and protons making up the nucleus  there are electrons orbiting in the empty space around it. That empty space is 99.9999999999999 % of the whole atom.

What does all this science shit have to do with anything right? Weeeeeeellllllllllllll it has a lot to do with it if you think about all the empty space each of those tiny molecules hold. That would make it where everything that is made up of atoms would have a lot of empty space right??

Everything is made up of atoms.

That would make EVERYTHING 99.999+ % empty space.
This would make so called "solid" objects seem a lot less solid huh?

One of me and Amiiiri Tafari 's favorite phrases is "Perception is Reality". Humanity is under the assumption that we perceive the world for exactly what it is, but perception is a creation of the mind that helps us stay grounded in the third dimension. Reality is defined by how we perceive it and how you perceive something is, in essence, a direct reflection of self.



“We see the world, not as it is, but as we are” – Talmud

An individuals perception is a holographic representation of one's beliefs, emotions, past experiences, etc. Therefore no two people have the same reality. Just because we see things a certain way doesn't make it so. "Reality" is an extremely fluid concept.We never truly experience the world for what it is. We experience it as our mind filters it to us.

This could be such an awesome thing because that means you shape your reality with your perceptions. Think about it you can CHOOSE how you respond to things.

The chain goes like this:
You have beliefs--->They shape your perception--->Your perception shapes how you respond to events
--->How you respond is your reality

Start at the beginning. Go deep inside and examine your beliefs then choose to change them. Only then will you be able to control how you respond to things. Everything begins with a choice.

A negative reality can only be shaped by negative perceptions.

Our perceptions can be heavily distorted by our expectations. Think about optical illusions.
You see what you want to see.

When you see this you probably see a couple doing...couple-y things.
That's what I saw, but it is supposed to be a drawing of 9 dolphins.

 The website says if it takes you more than 6 second to find them your mind  is corrupted lol. They had to tell me where they were because I did not see them at all...but I digress.

There is also the fact that a lot of our beliefs are widespread because they (the Powers that Be) have been instilling them in us since birth. Also, because nobody wants to be perceived as any less than awesome, everyone carefully builds the face they want the world to see.

A world where you only see what others want you to see or what you believe you see. Sounds a lot like a pretty fake world, huh?

To sum all of this up, perception is an internal affair. Within is where we experience our reality and the external is really only the stimulus. We actually project our values and beliefs upon the external world and see what we want to see "out there", then we consider what we see to be reality. Ultimately, for each of us, our individual perception is our individual reality.

P.S. The world that we cannot see is far more vast than the one we can, although they are one in the same. Never forget that.
