Face The Wall

The pain of losing someone is great.  It affects everything you do.  In fact, everything that happens to you in this life is determined by your feelings.  When you are happy in your life then good things will happen to you.  The opposite is also true.  So how do you get happy?  First of all you need to have somewhere to live where you can feel comfortable and enjoy being.  Secondly, you need to provide for yourself by doing something you enjoy.  When you have achieved happiness in these two areas you are free to pursue happiness at the next level.  The first stage of this next level is with personal relationships.  Repair broken friendships, don’t worry about how others perceive you, help others unselfishly, using your experience.  The things you have experienced are what have made you who you are.  Find ways to express yourself – with which to cleanse your soul.  Acknowledge your mistakes but also your achievements.  Whatever you do you must show courage and not fear.  You will experience fear and it will try and take you.  You will succumb to fear but do not let it take control.  Know you are afraid and fight it.

I was scared of the truth.  If I can put it off I will.  But you cannot ignore or avoid your destiny.  Do not worry, do not be afraid.  There is nothing to be afraid of.  Believe in the truth that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.  We are learning about ourself by being separate.  Those who think that there is no one self are confused and need guidance from those of us that do.  We are not better than those that don’t.  In many ways we are worse when we do nothing to change things or laugh at the ignorant.  Expect nothing and dream of anything.  We are moving into a time in our evolution where love is being recognised as the driving force behind so much, if not everything, we do.  Love your enemies and you will have none.  With no enemies there is nothing to fear.  Let it begin.

Let's Save Africa!

I am going to analyse the SAIH Norway video Let's Save Africa! - Gone Wrong. Ostensibly a satirical work (the YouTube video description states 'We're messing with you'), I hope to argue that this video is in fact promoting discourse opposite to its intention. To do this I am going to use the concepts of contrapuntal reading (Said) and the reality effect (Barthes). Contrapuntal reading is reading with an "awareness both of the metropolitan history that is narrated and of those other histories against which (and together with which) the dominating discourse acts" (Said 51). It also means reading a text "with an understanding of what is involved when an author shows, for instance, that a colonial sugar plantation is seen as important to the process of maintaining a particular style of life in England" (Said 66). With this in mind what follows is my own close contrapuntal reading of the SAIH Norway video. The video starts with Thomas Newman-esque lig...

Jesus Christ

It seems that fairly recently the view that religion is a load of bollocks and is responsible for wars and so on has become very popular.  There is no doubt that there is heart-felt sentiment in support of this view but to dismiss a belief that has been held for over 2,000 years so flippantly was not enough to fully convince me of this standpoint.  I mean, how exactly did Christianity start?  I wanted to find out a bit about it but there was no way I was going to read the bible with its image problems and the fact that it seems to be written in some sort of code, such is the antiquity of the text.  Luckily I managed to find a children’s bible stories book which handily summarised for me most of the writing from the hallowed tome. Upon reading it my reaction was that it was a collection of extremely good stories on the subjects of life and love.  So why have people and, in particular, those in power accepted it as a truthful account of human history and still d...

To what extent do The Matrix and Hayles’ concept of pattern vs presence correlate?

For this essay I am going to close read a section of Chapter 2, Virtual Bodies and Flickering Signifiers from N. Katherine Hayles' book How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature, and Informatics. I will then apply her concepts to similar ideas and themes from the 1999 movie The Matrix directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski. The main interest and purpose of doing this is to see how both works correlate in terms of their conceptions and, due to both works being originally released to the public in 1999, also to see how prescient they were in terms of those ideas today. The section I am going to close read mainly concerns Hayles' conception of pattern vs presence. While Hayles makes the definitions of these two words clear in her writing I want to state them again here at the start along with some of my own definitions for the purposes of my comparison.  Definitions Pattern - computer code, cyberspace as the internet, social media Presence - corpo...
