The Secondary Life

Social Witchcraft and the Secondary Life.

This phenomena has been around for as long as man has been able to communicate his ideas. This is not a historical reference guide to imagination. What this is is the idea that once exogenous forces; either through language of action or language of thought, entered our lives as human beings, we have slowly been (over time) dividing our mental lives into various bits and pieces. From the advent of machinery through the age of enlightenment man has become more and more reliant in time to the development of his mental life.
From the first books inked off the first printing press to the television and computer world of today there is a marked difference in the way we people interact in our everyday lives. There has been a rush, a boom if you will that has taken from us; in many ways which I will identify, our capacity to intelligently make decisions that have not already been made for us in some way by some thing (people included).
The influence of television and movies have made us feel small in reality; and for some large in their secondary life which we all harbor inside our minds to varying degrees. This life is separate for all people yet combined in miniscule parts for small groups of people who may share that satisfaction of a mutually agreed upon version of inaccessible unreality or The Secondary Life.

Time has made fools of us all. Historically speaking there have been countless men (and women) who have bamboozled countless groups of people into believing them and their philosophy. Because we are general idiots on the great time continuum, we have these inate tendencies to believe these individuals who bring us hope in some way, shape or form when we believe we need to hear it the most. It is not so much the words they say it is how they use those words to translate emotion. It is through emotion and belief that we remain shackled. LLc 98.2

It is often difficult to gather enough strength to even consider the truth of a situation. Often the truth is well known to both parties, but the thought of change is much too drastic for any direct measures to be taken. There will usually be circumstances that bind the two together in some way. This is the common place to go for the maintenance and preservation of dis-happiness within the mainframe of the secondary life so chosen. LLc 98.2

In a sense we are all followers. We are followers of the dreams of other people. Our entertainment requires this; our lives do too. Our only prerequisite is a mechanism through which our dreams can come true. This mechanism is nothing more than the free media exchange. Although media in and of itself is not to blame for this phenomena, it still provides a mechanism through which the dreams and aspirations of other people can be fulfilled in some way. The things we derive from what we see provide nourishment for the lion. LLc 98.2

The quitter may just be the most romantic person around. In his world perfection is the only outlet that is to be explored. To have any other way of viewing the world would be, in his eyes, a complete waste of time and not worth persuing at all ever.

Every man seeks to find his way in the world. Some of us believe we have a calling in life to raise a family to the best of our ability. Others of us believe there is no use in finding a reason for being, just that we work as hard as we can and have as much fun as possible while we can. If any of us are lucky enough to make it to a ripe old age, we sure is hell don't ever want to say that we should have done things differently. But we do this everyday as it seems to be our one and only way. LLc 98.2

The words people say rarely mean much anyway unless there is something in it for them. This attitude is contradictory to the way it should be. Because of the influence wielded through media, people have become enthralled with materialism and selfish persuits. It is not the fault of media itself, it is the fault of the weakness of humanity to allow itself to become so easily influenced by what they see through various media outlets. One reason for this weakness could be the availability of more choice than ever before. LLc 98.2
