Fake Worlds: Trusting in our senses

Fake Foods. What do they say about you? 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.

Orangic Reality 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.
