Yesterday, a random thought came into my mind as I drove to Home Depot about an experience years ago with a woman where I saw an eyelash on her cheek and told her “oh, you have an eyelash” and she let me take it away. Later, I had regrets, thinking that might have been too intimate a gesture for a casual friendship. So, I tossed that around again for no good reason yesterday. What made me think that? I needed to think about what I needed to get at Home Depot so I wouldn’t have to go back again in an hour. Not some random person and their random eyelash from years ago.
Several hours later, I decided to try some Spam and eggs for dinner since I had forgotten to thaw anything and too lazy to go to the store. I was a little amazed how retro the can looked when I broke into my stash but.. whatever. I tried it. Not great, not bad. Definitely needs more texture if you add it to eggs. It was OK.
Amused yet? Lol, I am sorry for dragging you into this.
Then I watched “Operation Mincemeat.” Have you seen it? Recommended! Anyway, the first scene shows a formal dining table and there are cans of SPAM oddly sitting at each place setting. This was minutes after eating mine. Way too informal of a food to be sitting on a fancy dinner table and absolutely no point in it but there it is.
Spam?? I know that isn’t a big deal, but I had to see if I was really awake.. Just too much Spam in a short period of time.
Later in the movie, there was the whole “main character picks eyelash off of a woman” scene... and it seemed a bit intimate of a gesture for their platonic relationship and it’s integral to the operation. If you’re following me, I had that same incident in my head just hours ago.
There are no coincidences. What if we are IN the movie? Mind control, showing us what they want us to see, causing random memories to resurface, causing us to change our behavior and perhaps, contact that person we thought about? Why was the woman I thought about important? It was during my military years. Is she important to the story? Did the listening devices in my home know I was having Spam? Is that why Netflix suggested it, because I was just surfing. Is the spying and mind control THAT intricate? It just seemed a little matrix glitchy to me.
But then, the whole point of the movie is about the lengths our military and govt go to deceive. The false flags, military operations, coups and what we’ve been living lately? Highly intricate, complicated acts of planning and deception, with people so caught up in the lies that they start to believe their own characters are real.
“In any story, if it's a good story, there is that which is seen and that which is hidden. This is especially true in stories of war. There is the war we see, a contest of bombs and bullets, courage, sacrifice, and brute force. As we count the winners, the losers, and the dead. But alongside this war, another war is waged. A battleground in shades of gray, played out in deception, seduction, and bad faith. The participants are strange. They are seldom what they seem, and fiction and reality blur. This war is a wilderness of mirrors in which the truth is protected by a bodyguard of lies.”

Kastrup isn't wrong.
Careful though, gents, as sci-fi is ideology codified into fiction.
Predictive programming even.
One man's 'science' is another's tool of control and if in contention, it's science that will get the boot as the plandemic demonstrates.
Besides...........science will always fail the subject because measurement changes the object measured, and the part can't contain the All.
That said, I'm not being negative or critical about the conversation and theories. I would like to say that it has all been taken care of in the past in mythology as symbol and in the highest study of both Hindu and Buddhist literature. From there, it degraded into psychology with 'causation' a wedge between giants like Freud and Jung.
These studies are like rungs of a ladder. You might be able to skip one or two but the ascent wouldn't be a smooth one and one might mis-step.
I've spent a lifetime deep-diving into these subjects and even caused a name change in a known theory about cognition after a discussion with a team of psychological theorists, yet was unable to get them to understand what was actually being said, because they had an agenda they thought it fit, when it didn't, so they 'stole' the idea and used it anyway. Holy cow.
Cut to the chase. I've pretty much heard it all by now. I don't have the energy to pump out the 3 zillion word diatribe it would take to touch the hem of the garment............but..........
If you'd like to hear the foremost authority in the west about the deep understanding of cognition/self.......using east, west, and science all at once...
Check out Theoria Apophasis vids on YouTube. Bring your dictionary, it's worth it.
Enjoyed the conversation and thank you.
Yes, and the modern leftist bent of much SciFi isn't new, of course; Star Trek was a socialist paradise that somehow "worked" (everything can work in the movies!) and H.G. Wells was also a socialist.
Hell, Einstein was a socialist, which goes to show that feelings are often stronger than intellect -- a general principle, actually. Feeling is far more ancient and a deeper, more central part of life than is upper-brain intelligence.
As for science: in times of widespread corruption or emotional damage, science, like everything else, degrades.
That's quite true. Still, if the goal of science is an ever-deeper and more accurate understanding of reality, then science can at least be very useful even when it the understanding is clearly incomplete. Newtonian physics is so useful that engineers and others still often use it instead of quantum or relativity, at least for the many intermediate-scale situations where Newton's results are so close to experimental results as makes no difference for the situation at hand.
There's another reason science will, in some fashion, always fail: I don't believe the human brain is anywhere near adequate to grok the whole of reality. An ant will never understand Shakespeare. A dog will never fully appreciate music despite having excellent hearing: no spindle cells in the brain to supply the output of hearing-related brain areas directly to certain feeling-related areas, so the deep feeling that music creates in humans (and to a lesser extent in a few other primates and in some cetaceans, and perhaps a few other animals) is never generated in a dog. Music theory wouldn't help, even if the dog could learn and understand it.
The universe is too big, too multi-layered, too multi-dimensional (including perhaps literally) for humans to fully grasp, or so I believe. Kastrup and the reports of some near-death survivors suggest the merging of one's self (of That Which Experiences) with the universe may change that. I'm not yet on board with the idea, but open to it.
I will, and thank you for that, and for the conversation.
Thanks for the great reply.
Engineers and Imagineers are at war right now.
The Truth is always somehow in 'the middle'.
