entendre___amnesia mindcast #2
dear reader,
the idea, the intention, the purpose of what is to come,
in following visions, dreams - the allusive spectres of our waking hallucinations, and the daydreams we so often stumble into..
reflections, recurrences, retrograde, repetition,
nostalgia,
déjà vu,
Entendre Amnesia.
——————
A glimpse into a forgotten history, now, just barely functioning relics that serve either only as purely aesthetic items, or get thrown out into the waste bins of society,
forgotten about,
no longer wanted.
—————————
Please be wary that the past cannot simply be thrown out.
The past watches over us too,
it lingers on, even as we try to forget about it, even as we toss it out, without a second thought.
Residual implications, imprints on a damaged world.
———————————
We look through a lens that is constantly reaching not only forward, but backward in time.
Every now and then, we dredge up the past, either in retrospect, or for inspiration.
However, it is a rather seedy and selective way to live. We are all guilty of it, though. It is simply that we only choose what we think appeals to us, what brings convenience to us, and leave the rest be, to decay away.
What of these actions speaks louder than words?
Well, to speak a word: convenience.
It is a word known all too well.
——————————————
The past need not be forgotten about, but it needn’t be lived in either. It makes sense to reflect from time to time, but life moves on. Naturally.
—————————————————
Visions speak of past events. Past extrapolates into future. Future itself is yet to be determined, but depends on the events of the past in order exist.
We needn’t let the past dictate the future, nor the future dictate the past (or more likely, the present. Though present always becomes past in an instant).
————————————————————
What does our reflection tell us? Particularly when seen through the lens of another’s eyes? We live our whole lives through our own lenses, yet we see our reflection every day, in mirrors, in water. Which is the real perception?
————————————————————————
Recurrence and retrograde. The thinking mind is constantly in these two states. And with the advent of recording technology, this phenomenon has only further become preserved in its incessant tenacity. Can these states be calming? Or rather invoke a sense of madness within each of us?
———————————————————————————
Deja vu. Have we been here before? These liminal spaces that our mind inhabits from time to time.
In dreams, or in reality? Where does the line blur between the two? Where is the barrier between this reality and that inner reality we give over to each and every night?
How can waking reality be given such weight, whilst we live so much of our lives in that world?
Do our dreams bleed over in to our reality, and if so, can they act as markers and indications to our next steps?
Though dreams must naturally only arise from past events, can they not help us to dictate the future?
