Pictured Realities

Why we hope that things would happen, or emerge, the way we visualise them.

We all exemplify one facial expression for chocolates and a diametrically opposite countenance to sour food. This is also precisely how we respond to events—because our mind, like taste, is trained to decipher ‘ethical’ standards. Of what is good, or bad, and vice versa. Well, for the sake of argument, we ought to grudgingly agree that our mind works differently from the perception of taste, which is restricted to the mouth, or oral cavity. Remember, our stomach is bereft of the sense of taste. It is, however, a reality that tastes trigger several circuits that connect to brain sites with differently favoured, or ‘flavoured,’ frequencies.

The whole idea of good and bad, any which way you look at it, works like a bait—not just a mirror that reflects our ethical precepts. This does not, of course, mean that all good experiences relate to a certain brain ‘connect,’ or consequence of thought, or belief. We are from our childhood ‘coached’ to remember all our ethical and erroneous actions. This is our own catalogue of the past. As we grow up, we look at such fragments and keep recalling our intended, or unintended, actions. We also recall words, or thoughts, that we used to praise, or criticise—of words that percolated into our vocabulary by reflex when we came of age as adults.

Sensory Patterns

There’s a mode, or manner, of our individuality—the idea of depending upon the sensory qualities of expression to bring home, or convey, a point of thought, or action. This is reason enough why we always first ‘view’ the picture of a word, in our imagination, before we utter it verbally. To pick an example, when we ‘picture’ the image of a sparrow, we associate the word, chirp. This also elicits the thought of a flock, or togetherness. Or, of conscious awareness from deep within; also without.
