Sensory Deprivation
~ The Only Way To Live ~

Some person parked across my driveway today! They had a flat tyre! Of all the places to park, why would someone choose to park across anothers driveway ? I guess they are lucky I didn't have their car towed away!

Why would I do that you ask? Well, I live on a main road.

My, my the sun is pie. There's fodder for the cannons and the guilty ones, Can all sleep safely, all sleep safely.

Still, the telephoto lens came in handy...

Hey hey, night fights day. There's food for the thinkers and the innocents, Can all live slowly, all live slowly.

What would have happened if Neo had said "No" to drugs ?

Why are there only seven deadly sins and not thirteen or six hundred and sixty six for that matter ?

If the drug extasy is so good, why does it usually kill people ?

I followed a woman when I was on the job once. Half way across the city. Sat opposite her on the train. She was on a false compensation claim.

What does a person do if they find out that their therapist is in therapy ?

How does a person know that their doctor is a real doctor and not a fake ?

Human beings are all vulnerable to being deceived because people can misplace their trust if manipulated in certain ways.

What is manipulation really? Is it not just telling a lie for ones own advantage? Governments do it, employers do it, employees do it, lovers do it! Then why do we teach our children not to ?

If I walk down the street in an elaborate disguise, is that not lying to others to achieve a goal ? If one lies to themself, isn't that a form of disguise? A disguise of their own mental faculties by their own mind ?

If one stands on their proverbial soapbox, and preaches about something they only half know, does that make them a liar ? Or an ill informed individual victimised by anothers lies ? And who of us has not done that in their life ?

That is their own reality. Not the reality of the collective whole!

Reality is Relative !

Ones reality is different to anothers. Individual reality is different to group reality. Group reality is different to a populations reality. And true reality is different to them all !

Poems are made up of "Stanzas". Stanzas form the reality of the poem. Therefore, a poet could be called a "Stanzatic Engineer".

Surveillance is made up of "Spies". Spies convey the reality of the surveillance. Sometimes spies manipulate their "Target". If this is the case, could not surveillance experts be deemed "Perception Engineers" ???

To engineer a individuals perceptions of reality would mean depriving their senses of the true reality.

I.E. "Sensory Deprivation".

And all the world is football shaped. It's just for me to kick in space. And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste. And I've got one, two, three, four, five. Senses working overtime. Trying to take this all in. I've got one, two, three, four, five.
