Fake Worlds: Trusting in our senses

The food most of us consume really does seem to reflect our view on the world, but not only that – it is also a reflection on how deeply we are conditioned. This conditioning is all encompassing and affects almost everything we touch, view and believe; I call it MeeWee View, because it is like watching TV rather than living life. TV is full of make-believe; potentially anything can be portrayed as being real, no matter how impossible. MeeWee is much the same; through various techniques peoples perception is altered to reflect a manufactured reality.
Here’s an example; take most of the fruit squash drinks that are available in the supermarkets. An orange or apple drink tastes nothing like either orange or apple. It is a manufactured taste. Worse still it hasn’t been designed to even approximate the tastes of its namesakes, but rather to program the taste-buds of the consumer into believing what orange or apple should taste like.
Personally, I no longer drink squash drinks – they are damn awful. Now a person could argue that it is a case of ‘personal preference’. I would say it is more of a case of ‘personal programming’. Get a juicer, and squeeze an orange out. Take the produced juice and water it down a little. Now compare the taste of that fruit drink to a shop brought, sinthised drink. They taste nothing like each other.
Yet, stop a person on the street – get them to blind taste both – and most likely they will state that the artificial drink is the ‘real’ orange juice. (Is it any wonder why so many parents find it notouriously difficult to get their kids to eat fruit? As far as the kids are concerned the fruit is ‘fake’, because they have been programmed to accept the artificial version). You can easily test out this mind-bending for yourself, stop drinking squash – and see what your opinion of it is a year from now.
Now – I do have a point here. This MeeWee view is what much of reality is like. We believe what we have been programmed to believe. The intellect, whilst woefully clever – is redicuosly easy to trick. Most people will choose the words of an authority (such as an expert, offical or TV) over the proof of their senses.
We live in a culture where first-person experience is not relevant enough. We convince ourselves that we need some sort of external validation in order to justify and even prove what our senses are showing us. This is a form of collective belief, which lacks self-trust. It is perhaps the greatest cout de’tat that has ever been pulled on humanity.
When we do not trust our own senses or experience – and instead grow dependent upon an authority, we are as children in the presence of our parents, or teachers – always needing to be shown, and led. We open ourselves up to be programmed, following the so called ‘truths’ that we are shown, and eventually our minds come to a MeeWee View on reality. We believe what we are shown over what we experience.
This is the path which the collective Ego is taking – whilst it is being led astray by the global shadow. Many don’t even realise it, because of course the authorities to which they look are proclaiming that everything is as it should be. Meanwhile a few others are begin to wonder if they can trust authority, and how they can know if it is honest or false.
Eventually we have to come to understand and except the proof of our own senses. We must learn how to trust in ourselves rather than in a world of fakery and monkey metaphysics.

I really appriciate you writing this. It is thought provoking and insightful, not to mention very subtle, which is rare to find these days. I might also add however something more to this insight.
Who told you this information? Who told you what an Oragne tastes like or what an apple tastes like? Who told you what the wind feels like or what the wind even is?
You may say no one told me, i experienced these things for myself, and i made my own decision, but did you really?
The true test is when there is no orage present. Can you experience an Orange when there is no Orange in front of you? Can you even remember what it looks like entirely? or tastes like? Can you remember every detail, or even small details?
My point is, what you are speaking of here is programming, but it’s also mass hypnosis, i suppose they are the same thing, i suppose you can say either. But when we are in mass hypnosis we only experience things that are happing right then, and even then we are not REALLY experiencing them, we are only experiencing what we have been programmed to experience at that moment. Only the “important” details, and what are those you may ask?
They are the details we have been taught to look for, or been taught to emphasise. But why do we do this? Why do we allow ourselves to live in a state of hypnosis?
And this is the most important piece of this.
The senses are not sufficient to experience anything. they may at the most help us to have the illusion of an experience, but a true experience never happens, and let me be clear. We never truely CONNECT with anything we interact with through our senses…Why? Because we are not our bodies, our bodies get hungry or sick and we become annoyed because we don’t understand why or what is happening. they are foreign entities like a a companion or sibling, but not us directly. It’s the same with the mind, and the mind and body soimetimes compete for our affection and attention. But they are not us, and so no real experience can be had through the mind and the body… I think you can see where i am going with this, so i’ll stop here.
Thanks for the insights, and good luck on your path to truth my friend.:)
