Henry Bergson, "Our nervous, shifting vision tends to be highly selective, related more to identification and information than to aesthetic contemplation, study of mind, emotions in relation to the sense of beauty pertaining to involving or concerned with pure emotion and sensation as opposed to pure intellectuality."
Does it help to go into a scene uptight and nervous. Or is it better to be relaxed and connected with your chosen subject.
Perceive the unusual as an outlet to become more intuitive which will enhance your visual landscape.
Image alterations by special software to enhance the facial characteristics is a natural progression of escapism in this new era of technological mastering of the human heart and soul. As we move away from personal identity toward an exposure of self for the masses to be seen accomplishes our needs for ego gratification. We are never satisfied, we never allow ourselves to just be without entertaining the facade of externality as a mask of not who we are but what we desire to escape from.
A broader illusion of self can be created through social media. But these new expressions of self are not the truth but a posing of self, to tickle the fancy of viewers to like. This ability to be seen now is an addiction beyond any cohesive society can bare.
As we learn to project illusions of self outward we break the consistency of personality and become the many faces of Eve. A wonderful biblical novel of split personalities.
We are never satisfied with our daily lives and our own self- hood. We must free ourselves from the shackles of our parents influence but not at the expense of losing your real personality, to become a natural wonder to be praised for your impressions and not scolded for your moral deceptions.
Technology will use this copycat human trait to put out scraps of bait for billions of people seeking escape from their daily routines. Not only will you become further alienated from yourself but also as a species you will fail to have empathy for your brothers and sisters. Why would you? There all clowns trying to get their 15 seconds of fame and fortune.
The real escape from daily routines is your inner will to listen to your intuitive self and focus your attention on execrating yourself from the tangled web of our demanding existence from exterior forces.
This steel grip of ego is becoming permanent in our lives. Created facades of selfish manipulation by the haves to the have nots. Diversion from the reality of intuitive thought has been created to keep the lowering of standards of the herded class from rebelling against the puppet masters. This built in need for a physical presence of power is the god complex. But now technology is our new god and our inner demons are coming forth.
We don't see the faces behind the screen but accept and assume that what we see is truth and what we hear is false. I have news for you that both are false witness to the structured existence we live in today. In order to become an individual we must acknowledge the chains imposed on us by the intellect. Our thought process has been determined through out our lives and to break free we have to assume that external reality is deadness to insightful revelations of your individuality.
It is a false hope now to say a real self. For we are being stripped of our inner being and turned inside out to perform for the enjoyment of greedy eyes by a technological prison of a mock reality. This is seen on a daily basis as people ignore their surroundings and focus their addiction on a small screen bringing you a manipulated external reality of fake selves.
Anyone not in tune to the driving force of man's need to be seen in today's kaleidoscope of personality manipulation has been living in a mole tunnel. We have always been intrigued and jealous of the movie stars, of the rich, now we can emulate them by creating a false mask, a new face to present to our so called hits of likes on our social status site. This is not about truth but of counting the eyes posited in front of the screen for ad revenue.
Beauty standards are nothing more than the obsessive addiction to integrate ads on social media and corporate sites into you're living thoughts as if those ads will accomplish for you what you couldn't do for yourself.
We are bombarded without mercy with a new vision of how we should be living our lives. Forget your own personal voyage. Your inner purpose is forgotten and now that purpose is greed and exterior praise for your sweet masked suited face.
After all our god sits above us judging us as inferior to his exclaimed truth but now our truth has been substituted with entertainment as the main journey one must take to get into the paradise of a gated community.
The big question for our future is this, "Do real people need to exist?"
