VII.
Visual language and exposing of Self (mobile clicks)
Everyone
is familiar with the phenomena of social media posts, photos, “sharing” and
profile pictures. Facebook, google and more social sites offer plenty of
choices for every taste, the information on groups and people is so vast that
you can sink in it as in ocean. Participating in this social places,
communities, circles…friends collections, you actually choose to be swallowed
by that ocean. Why do you need to care if it contains reality? You choose
quantity, nice effects, smiles and vortex of information. Any kind of
information, no matter how much its approved and credible, is surely
represented by highlights of visual effects. This is the place of pictures,
image, faces and “showing off” from all corners in the world. This is place of
trade, exchange, connection too. But for most of people this social place fails
to reach higher potential. Most people on social sites are not able to simply
observe, see and “read” all of that ocean of information, so they need to
choose carefully.
However,
as one of the aspects in speed-space is lack of time, the users don’t spend
long time in reading any information. The most important becomes the visual
effects, the visual language. All words, all expressions, texts are replaced by
very comfortable and easy to swallow – images, mobile pictures, icons,
emoticons, stickers, symbols. All of that exists to substitute the words. This
kind of substitution is double – once from the real behavior, speech –face to
face gestures, smiles; and second time – from written text, which becomes needless.
The text put as a short famous quote has much bigger chance to reach to the
audience, but only if it`s exposed through effective image-photo. That’s how
the language works just in the level of visual. Sadly this is not very creative
for the higher mind, that needs food from real language (as sound, face
expressions) or written text (unlocking potential of imagination). The two are
missing in this self-exhibited social theater.
The
higher mindful Self is replaced by bragging or hiding Self of profile image.
This image, as many others “shared” on the platform, represents the throwing
away of Art, and falling down to the passing, intrusive daily culture. This is
the real culture of swallowing, going to the place of daily routine point,
where nothing is art. (or anything can be thought as art, no matter of its
shape). This are realities that we see diminishing of higher Mind. It becomes
instrument of comfortable “seeing –accepting”, and does no longer belong to
“observing –knowing”. Such paradigm is too away from Wisdom and from anything
closer to spiritual development. Yes, we can find already multiple amazing
sections, that will serve us in spiritual development. It is truth, this is the
trick of the speed –space Like Facebook, that’s how so many people from
different categories and social ranks and spiritual levels, are present in this
space. Anyone can find something suitable for his taste. But the general
mechanism, work of this place is connected always with this parameters –
speed-lack of time, visual effects, self-exposing, lack of art, going away from
Mind. That means the more time you devote to be in the social theater, the more
your mind will go down in speed, will be not able to reach peaceful point, and
will suffer anxiety.
Self-exposing
in internet sites and platforms is one of the main “features” of the
easy-swallowing culture. Everyone needs to feel attractive – by one way or
another –posting of personal images, “selfies”, appearance of millions
photo-shop and photo-decoration applications, images of wisdom, sharing special
events. Everyone is involved in that by his own choice, with his own lower
mind, exposing him-self. This is also exposure of fake Self. Could anyone
possibly know me through my profile picture? Or from my posts expressing what
is my taste and position in life? or what is my daily routine, likes, schedule,
friends, travels? Finally, do I have connection with my Self through all that
sharing with “others”? or I`m near to lose this connection?
The
crazy “selfies” are kind of self-exposure that only need to achieve “cheap
effect” by attracting the senses. We all love to be attracted that way, its
easiest (in “love” too). This cheap effect results in some really “amazing”
cases of suicide of people, who make acrobatic circus show by going in
dangerous high buildings, climbing on a train roof (and being burnt by wires),
climbing on billboard and falling down…all that cases are real and reveal something
more than narrow mind. Such acrobatic showing off can be possible only when the
Self suffers destruction, when self is on a verge of a risk, and needs to be
proven or die. That’s how all culture is heading to its end.
The
selfies and mobile “clicks” are the new culture language. This is colorful,
effective and easy to understand language (even it doesn’t need understanding
at all). Just see and trust it is so. If the human mind was not already
developed in the divine model of God, the consequences of that culture spread
will be devastating. Then, if I had a profile picture of a frog, majority of
people living the social platform life, would be sure that “I am really this
frog”. Stupidity is always limitless as are stars in cosmos. Mobile clicks have
another task, namely to go away from the high art. If cinema in 30- 60 had the
aim to reach potential of high art and it succeed in that, now the “cinema”
role, taken by the social virtual actors on internet, aims to be down in the
routine, in the false ideas, in false lives, in faked faces and virtual masks. The
black and white photography was (is) art, the effective mobile images of Self,
using photo collage, color and brush effects, are not just escape from “art”,
they are grotesque.
It
aims to destroy forms of art. We are on the verge of catastrophe, that will be
challenging, and leading again to the highest spiritual return.
The
actors will be dissolved in New generation of lavender (crystal) mind, that
will change the world forever.
That’s
all from me now on the topic of “Easy-swallowing culture”, and I hope if you
read this to the end, it made you think deeply.
