The Illusion

What if many things in our lives are just illusions.

What if the recent record numbers of the stock market are being manipulated in this fairly weak economy?

What if the news we watch and depend on is not exactly what is really going on?

What if the money we own is just worthless paper being used by the elite to manipulate us like pawns to provide lavish lifestyles for them?

What if we are not really free but are really owned by the elite?

What if music is not something we just mindlessly enjoy but instead manipulate us with hidden messages?

What if ufos have visited us?

What if love really does not exist?

What if all these Hollywood celebrities were not born looking perfect and have had many surgeries and spent millions on themselves?

What if our country is not our country and is really theirs (elites)?

What if privacy does not exist anymore?

What if religion is really a fairy tale?

What if the majority of the food we are sold is not healthy for us to eat?

What if our water is not safe?

What if the majority of medicine is designed to keep the poor, poor and the rich, rich?

What if our dreams carry significant messages?

What if our memories don't remember everything accurately?

....any more possible illusions?

Dream...

Humanity as a whole will certainly benefit knowing that. laugh
Johnny rolling on the floor laughing
I must admit Dream....you are a master of illusion. They do look big. grin
Johnny

What if most of what you've said seems to be factual rather than an illusion?
What if money were to be fully eradicated and you could just order what you want with just a micro chip implant?
dunno
What if you are right Prof? laugh


The music thing was interesting. I just read an article where psychologists claim they can identify a person's personality by knowing what sort of music they listen to.


So...does the music determine personality or does personality determine music? dunno
Prof applause

Happy New Year to you too !! hug bouquet
Thank you Dream. I am looking forward to the celebration too. grin Happy New Year's eve. :)
Dream

Happy new year to you too...
Go enjoy your party.teddybear
Johnny

I think the psychologist could be right.
What would he think about someone who appreciates all genres...including songs being voiced in languages she don't even understand...from the opera to jazz and blues...
What if he thought my brain was distorted because of this?
Prof...

I actually enjoy music too with lyrics I don't understand.


I think the music helps to recall the message of the lyrics in the head....essentially cementing it in the mind.

but...

music by itself is where the really beauty in music is.



dunno
Also though...I have heard some tones in music can be more depressing or more uplifting as well.
Johnny

What if most persons where I am from being my age cannot relate to me based on the music I listen to and mostly sway towards as in Country music and the fact that I'm a great fan of Adrea Bocelli?

What is I think I am a weirdo?
What if I decided that my brain was multi faceted?
What if I think because of how I think most my age won't be able to relate to me?wink

What if I think too deep at times ?
Bocelli is awesome Pro. grin

But, you might be on to something....what if you needed to find new friends, ones who could relate to you? laugh
Jo

It is true that tones in music can be depressing.
I gravitate to tone which equals mood most times.
I've felt the mood of a song from tones more than the actual words.
There are alot of messages that are being relayed in the tone of a song it's unbelievable.

The first time I heard time to say goodbye by Andrea Bocelli I fell in love with the tone because I really don't understand 3/4th of what was being said
I believe EVERYTHING is an ILLUSION ...
And the universe is a consciousness hologram.

Some shamans and other spiritual beings believe that the Dreamworld IS reality and all the rest just an illusion. dunno
Johnny

wink
You are right for that reason my friends are usually older than me.
I have friends that are younger but they mostly look to me for advice.

My older friends do the same at times but I like the perspectives of older persons as it makes me more equipped socially, especially my outlook on life.
Daniela

Even the very existence of man seems to be an illusion.
We were made from nothing and we become something.
Then we return to dust from which we came.

I will agree that everything is an illusion but some illusion had taken form and it should have remained as is.
P. I also love Andrea Bocelli.love

My favourite being the duo with Marta Sánchez..Vivo por Ella ..which I sing at times in karaoke if I can find someone good to sing with me.

There's music to fit every kind of mood.
Pro....the sound of his voice is incredible. Most of his music I love as well...and for the same reason as you. thumbs up


That is nice to know that people respect you enough to ask for your advice. I can tell you are a great person...even if you wrote a blog about sticks. tongue ....just teasing. I did read your blog and enjoyed it. grin We need more light-hearted banter in here.
P. Strangely enough all my friends are YOUNGER than I am...Most in their 40s. .and they're the ones who keep me young. dancing
Daniela777, when reading some philosophy books, there were some early philosophers that questioned everything that we thought we knew and seen.

That is interesting what you say about dreams.

I have found some of my dreams are actually connected with the conscious world....truly interesting to me.

I know I wrote that one blog about my dream and the clock.

That still has me somewhat baffled and curious.
Dan

I'm glad you do.
Such an awesome singer.

I must research that song.....Dan I sing aloud with the song the parts I don't know I just hum along..teddybear
Johnny

laugh laugh

That's another side to me.
I am mostly serious though.
Yes I give very good solid advice though I need it at times too.
On here though most will not see that side of me.
I will leave that for the real world.
Glad it was entertaining somewhat.banana banana
Pro....

That is good....to be dimensional....I think anyway. :) One dimension can lead to being boring. :( laugh


Daniela777,

I only know one song by Divo....what is it called, whip it?
Johnny. I you want interpretation of your dreams I can help you and you know where to find me.

I do it at the subconscious level...usually face to face..but can also do it on Skype.
It funny with music for me, I discover a lot of it...much I have not ever heard before, on the internet.

I might youtube a song I want to hear and it will play into other songs by other artists. thumbs up
Johnny

My bigger sister most times think I am boring based on the music I listen to. She likes the more upbeat rhythms, so she gravitates to younger guys.

Go back to what you were saying about the psychologist and music/tones it can really depict who we are as individuals
Il Divo? I have many songs! They sing in Spanish..English..French..Italian..

Maybe you should hear Regresa a Mi (unbreak my heart)..
Also the Hallelujah in Spanish..
And the Unchained Melody...which they sing in Italian..
Hallelujah in Spanish should be awesome.
Sure gonna check it out
Okay ladies...time for bed for me. Take care and good night. :)
Night night johnny

there is only one WHATIF which is undoubtful after we are born and that is to taste death at a stage.

For everything else there are so many probabilitiies! WHATIFS
Some people claim nothing is real - everything is an illusion.

Mark Twain owed such a person a sum of money.
He paid with an illusionary check; he was sued for real dollars.

Remarked Twain, "It seemed inconsistent." mumbling

IMB,

I totally agree with you on that.

thumbs up
laugh Mic...you can't fault him for trying. rolling on the floor laughing
Right Robert...


What if those private rooms are not really private. uh oh rolling on the floor laughing


Yes....to the JD. Well, maybe just one. grin Don't be a stranger to that stuff yourself. angel


Happy New Year!
Oh well, you know what they say. Tell someone there are 10 billion stars, they believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, they'll touch it.

We trust what we can prove for ourselves
We make a judgement call on the rest.

If you hear hooves, look for horses - the media will probably tell you they are zebras

If it works for you, go with it - and be open to change. Many make up their minds, in these uncertain times, then batten down the hatches and refuse to change.



dunno

How long to the midnight hour for you, Johnny? Have a good one peace
Great advice Legs. I have about 6 1/2 hours away yet.


What about you?


Doing anything special?
