So the wife took the boys to her sisters house to visit with family in town and I had the opportunity to go and watch Inception. This was a good movie, predictable or maybe ironic is a better term for it… however, it was Awesome.
I love movies/books that make me think. I don’t mean just causing thought, I mean thought processes that may question “reality” or push the bounds of what our current minds accept as reality. Movies like the first ‘Matrix’, like the book ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’. Both of these had awesome concepts of thinking, there are more but unfortunately I have not been doing as much thinking and exercises in thinking as I have in the past.
The movie Inception was about dream sharing, but not just dream sharing but information theft via dream sharing. Mind Hacking, if that’s a term, would be appropriate for the movie. The concepts don’t seem that foreign if you get past the whole dragging your mark into a shared dream state that was created to do a number of things, trigger familiarity, confuse possible security measures put in place, and by means of social engineering get the target to expose the information by manifesting it in a predictable area.
What interests me is not the capability of attacking another person or mind, there are plenty of ways to do that that are much more simple than even the contemplation of attacking the mind directly. My interest is in self discovery, not the “who am I?” questions, but the deeper questions that make up the underpinnings of why I do what I do and how I can push myself farther. Essentially exposing and manipulating the processes of going deeper into the rabbit hole of my conscious and sub-conscious.
I don’t know the actual percentage of the amount of the brain an average person uses but it seems that we can always do more, unlock new worlds so to speak. Some people reach out to using chemical substances to enhance thought, I’ve heard of people that use other chemical substances to actually slowdown their thought to the point they can survive at work and with social interaction (interesting indeed). I don’t agree with using any illegal substances to help speed up or slow down thought, I do however consume a good amount of caffeine on a [all to] regular basis. This could be beneficial in some cases but as my dependance has grown it’s most likely semi-detrimental at this point.
This movie, along with a few other influences present, has helped me remember that I love learning about my mind, exploring and advancing my thought. As I just posted earlier, I will be switching up the content on demonwerx, I may just have to put a part about philosophy and other mental exercises on there. We will see.
Ok, I think this is my longest post so far on all of my blogs… enjoy.
