Hidden in plain Sight; Life in the Box of the 360′ Theater

Reality. What does that word mean to you?

Of course, we could look in any dictionary for the definition, but would doing so lead to a true answer, or just to the simplified, acceptable, mainstream meaning?

“Oh, get real, man!” “You need to get your head out of the clouds!” “You view life through rose-tinted glasses!” “How unrealistic can one get!”

Ever heard, said or thought these sentences? Why?

Everywhere you turn, you are expected to be 'realistic.' Are you?

Does being realistic mean being real, as opposed to being unrealistic, thus not real? Does being real mean that you live in reality, as opposed to 'having your head in the clouds' or 'wearing rose-tinted glasses,' thus being 'not real?'

We take offense at anyone who would suggest to us that we are not being realistic. Why?

Is it because it is bred into us from birth? In what ways?

“Mommy, I saw a monster under my bed!” “Mommy, there's something in my closet!” “Mommy, why can't you see my friend?” “You know there is not a monster under your bed. There's no such thing as monsters. You need to stop pretending you have a friend that no one sees but you!”

“Mommy, isn't it wrong to kill? Then why do we kill people in other countries? Why do we kill animals?”

“Mommy, the teacher said the trees give us oxygen to breathe. Then why do we cut them all down?”

“Mommy, why are you angry that Tommy has two mommies but not a daddy?”

“Mommy, why can't I play with the little girl across the street. Why did you say she is black?”

If the authority figures in your life 'can't see' what you see, as a child or later as an adult, then you are not being realistic according to them. For the things they can't see does not exist in their reality and they refuse to accept that they exist in yours. This does not apply just to the metaphysical but to the physical as well. Thus they are seen as realistic...you as being unrealistic.

How do your authority figures come to decide what is real or not, reality or not, realistic or not? Their authority figures.

It is instilled in the majority of us to feel ashamed (and to keep hidden) any visions, feelings, thoughts, ideas or beliefs which differs from what our authority figures tell us. Beginning with parents, grandparents, teachers, ministers, doctors of every elk, then reaching over into the governmental and regulatory bodies and finally into the main-stream press and media, Hollywood and all other sundry. Each authority figure molds us as is decided by another authority figure whom we never even see or know. All this without us having an inkling as to the heterosuggestion being implemented every second we breathe, even when we know what they are telling us is falsities in whole or part. We become so conditioned to not trust ourselves, our differing reality, that we blind ourselves more and more over time, until we become so blinded that we become the unwitting victims of deceit at every turn. A massive dichotomy is instilled which so confuses the Human brain, the brain can no longer filter the truth from the deceit, the reality from the illusion. Perfect opening for propaganda renamed Public Relations.

One separates from oneself. All other things in life will feel to be separate as well. Perfect set-up for every separatist belief in Human existence. From national identity, to racism, sexism, religious affiliation, culture, sexual choice, diet, the natural world and the other multitudinous ideologies set into place to keep people malleable to the authority figures in the grown-up world.

But they have to get their fingers into the mind of the child first, molding one as easily as one would mold clay until the child becomes an adult, no longer needing molding, for the clay has hardened. Now it is simply to keep the dichotomies ongoing...the previous forming has already accomplished everything else.

A perfect being has been created who believes it is not truly a part of anything...it seeks to bond for it knows its natural state is one of unity...they encourage it to strive for this and that, acquire this or that. Always stressing the importance of money. It tries but nothing satisfies it. The best job, the best partner, the best car, the best house, the best electronics, perfect kids attending perfect schools. It hungers for more. Its acquirements satisfy for only a moment in time. The hunger eats at it, it feels ravenous. They keep telling it how fortunate it is, what a great life it has. So it wonders what's wrong with it. What is it doing wrong? Why does the hunger never cease? Why can't it find satisfaction? It knows they are right, after all they are The Authority Figures. So it listens more and more intently, watching all their shows, reading their newspapers, journals, books. It watches their commercials. Yep, that's right, it has been feeling kinda depressed, maybe that's what's wrong. The authority that made the commercial said to take this newest medication and it will be fine. A real doctor in a lab coat is talking about how it is normal for people to be depressed and that depression is on the rise. So it makes an appointment with the doctor authority, who tells it the commercial authority is correct. So it trusts them and begins to take the miracle drug and for a while it is happy, it is satiated, then it begins to feel the ravenous urges again. It looks around at all its possessions...feeling nothing.

So, what is your reality? Is it the one where the authority figures tell you everything they say and do is for your own good, 'trust us' while hiding their deceit in plain sight? Have you ever allowed yourself to think outside the 360' Reality Theater which you were born into, which you grew up in, and which you abide in still? The 'BOX' which people talk about euphemistically is this 360' Theater which was created for you. Are you brave enough to walk out of the box? Think out of the box? To trust yourself? Or do you wish to remain an 'IT?' Why not become a Human in full glory, becoming your own authority figure, the master of your own mind? Will it be work? Yes! For it will be the most difficult undertaking you will ever chose to take. The rewards will be enormous and you will find that you will be joining a growing group of Humans who with each new Thinker, sets the old consciousness into a dovetail spinning out of control, soon to crash to its death, while the new consciousness takes hold to help us create a world truly of our making. Not the dichotomous one of their making.

See you there! It is time!
