Alter Reality

I once tried to forget the number 13. I would consciously skip it every time I counted anything in the hopes that it would eventually drop from my consciousness. I tried to train my mind to forget something that has always been, but I couldn't do it in the end. It’s hard to forget the things we’ve been told all our lives. It’s not even something most people think about. Would you ever question whether a kitten is soft? Or that balls are round? Of course you wouldn’t, because you know these things to be True. But what is Truth? How can we really know what is and what isn’t? Throughout history countless beliefs have become disbeliefs, and for what reason? Because somebody chose to disbelieve them, and everybody eventually followed. What if in twenty years we discover that kittens really aren’t soft? What if we discover they aren’t even kittens? We should question their very existence. Take some time and look around at the things you see every day but never see. Look at the things that don’t even register in your mind and think about why that is. We take everything around us for granted, never thinking about why they are. They just are, so we believe. Disbelieve.

People need to think for themselves more. Forget what you’ve been told. Forget that ice is cold and flowers are pretty. Let your mind escape the confines of the reality that was created for it by somebody else. Open it up. Let it create its own reality. There are ways to practice this. Somebody once told me about a game that they’d play where they would point at things and call them whatever came to mind, but never what they actually were. It messes with your mind. It helps open channels to different parts of your brain that lay dormant most of the time. It wakens the imagination. Try it right now. Point at something in front of you and call it something else out loud. Call it anything. Make up your own language and think in it to yourself. Use it to talk to people. One day you might find somebody who talks back. The more we bend our reality the more reality becomes bent. The Global Consciousness dictates that the more you think something, the more other people are going to think it. It changes reality through telepathic osmosis. It’s like Wikipedia for the mind. So don’t believe what you hear or see. Believe what you feel. Question what you know. Make a mockery of Truth. We need to break out of our monotone thought processes. Let’s think in Techni-colour, but call all the colours by different names.

Let’s wonder like we did when we were kids.
