Pareidolia

Pareidolia is the phenomena of seeing faces/figures/forms in patterns; as opposed to where one normally sees faces/figures/forms (on animals including people/landscapes etc.)

Pareidolia is seeing what appears to the individual to be a representation of a face, figure, or form in the clouds, wood grain, marble, smoke, shadows, or any non-homogeneous area. It can also be an auditory phenomenon as in hearing white noise or a record played backward that sounds to the individual like words or a melody that isn't actually there.

solipsism

Solipsism is the fact (as much as any other so called fact), that we create our dreams not only at night when we sleep, but also in the day. As well as before we are "born," and after we so call "die." The dreams in the day only appear more "rational." It is not that "we are the only thing that exists," but that our consciousness is all that exists. Our consciousness is just our individual reflection of the consciousness of the entire universe, (what is commonly called "God." ) It takes time to perceive everything (time being an illusion), except for our consciousness which is instantaneous. This means that what we perceive is also us. Governments, as well as organized religions, military, industrial, and educational systems conspire, and know this fact, but put out the Descartian, dualistic view that there is an external foreign "enemy". The latter view is put out for their advantage which everyone must follow or be marginalized, imprisoned, or eliminated. This view works to the disadvantage of everyone not following the Church, State, Military, Industrial, Educational Crime-Pseudo crime fighting system.

If this view of solipsism were accepted by the masses, as opposed to the "current commonly accepted dualistic view," we would work together for all of US. instead of being divided and conquered as we are now, by the age old classical military technique. We would work 6 hours per year for a middle- class existence as described by Buckminster Fuller, inventer of the geodesic dome.

philosophy

Philosophy is really simple. If one has no excess energy one can do nothing. If one has any excess energy one can do one of five things with any external or internal thing.
1. Interact with it in the here and now.
2. Put it aside for potential future interaction.
3. Recycle it.
4. "Dispose" of it.
5. "Ignore it."
This is all there is to anything.

Philosophy is simply anything one can imagine or do, and one can only do one of the above five things.

plato

One of the original spiders who cast the web in which we have not escaped for 2,400 years was plato. He banished art, making himself the only artist. Only he was a master B.S. artist. He learned from the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians how to enslave man "permanently," unless we can find away out of his Platonic thought and actions. He came up with a world of ideas that he convinced many people existed. Some were downright racist/fascist like his concept of the three metals that we all supposedly had at our essence. Guess who had the "Golden essence." Correct it was Plato. Guess the slave's metal. Right, lead. You too could have this golden essence, if you worked hard for Plato, fought in his army, didn't rock the boat, and paid 40% of your income to fight Plato's wars to kill and enslave your fellow man who was most likely much like you. He was one of the first protection racket politicians. Scare them and they will follow. Sound familar?

We are looking for a way to escape plato's web, but can't find it because we are looking with plato's eyes.

dictionary

The standard dictionary is a great way to get everyone to think and act the same way. It defines terms the way the writers like Webster want people to accept the words. Once the words are locked in as meaningful, the next step is the encyclopedia. This is all condoned by the Church, State, Military, Industrial, Education, Crime, Pseudo-Crime fighting masses to control everyone for the writer's own advantage and stop change. If anyone has a different definition of a word, one of the above mentioned group members says, "that is not the meaning of the word." So we all end up thinking and acting the same way, killing each other and burning up the world. Words are much more tricky than people think. Most people think "Peace" is the opposit of "War," because that is what the "dictionary," says; but nothing has lead to "War," more than "Peace." Either way one looses, when one follows the standard dictionary, encyclopedia, church. state, military, industrial, crime, pseudo crime fighting worded way. In the beginning was not "The Word," it was, "What was." Words are hints to get us where we need to go. If one accepts them totally as given by the standard dictionary, one is a word fundamentalist, which leads to other fundamentalist wars such as we now have.

"Eddie looked it up in the dictionary, that prooves he's right." Despite the fact that none of these words have any absolute meaning.

audiary

To hear in a unique, authentic, original, revelatory, transcendent, creative and/or enlightened manner; especially if one is also able to transmit this way of hearing to others by playing music, singing or elevating the consciousness of the listener by producing sounds. What a visionary, is to sight and images, an audiary, is to sounds and music.

Some examples of celebrites who have heard music and played in this manner are John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders,(aka- The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit), Thelonious Monk, (aka- the High Priest), Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Eric Dolphy, and Charles Ives.
Although not strictly music as entertainment, Ayahuasca shamen of South America have been reported to elevate the consciousness of the listener, and transporting her/him to higher dimensions by singing in an audiary manner.

paraudolia

Paraudolia is the hearing of tunes, songs, and words where the are not found as usually defined. They are not created intentionally by man (or "aliens"). As in words heard on records played backwards. These are opposed to words, songs and tunes created intentionally by humans (or "aliens"). Also opposed to hearing words or melodies in raindrops, white noise, bell ringing, or when tired, as these are types of auditory hallucinations. Paraudolia is to sound, as pareidolia is to visual imagery.

"He played a Beatles record backwards and heard seven words in a row that had nothing to do with the sounds and music when played forward, it was pure paraudolia."
