Metaphors
and similes in language demonstrate the conceptual height, width, depth, and arc
of a single thing so that we see its multidimensionality.
If
planet Earth were really flat, then it would be impossible to create metaphors
and similes through language. This is because the very nature of our existence
would keep us from conceptualizing the height, width, depth, and arc of an idea
or concept.
The
Moors of medieval Europe taught Christian Europe that the Earth was spherical.
Our illustrious scholar Wayne Chandler shares this on page 166 of his essay
contribution to the Ivan Van Sertima edited book, Golden Age of the Moor.
Ironically
enough these Moors also gave the West the flat two-dimensional chessboard as a
War Game simulation. I explained this in further detail in my previous blog post
The
Grander Chessboard & The Moorish Days of Futures Past. A simulation
is an extended metaphor that alludes to something more fundamental.
The
chessboard of al-Andalus was originally a perceptual reference point, an active
metaphor, for indigenous Virtual Reality (VR) technology that was anchored by
organic plants and animals.
The
ancient VR technology that the Moors inherited from their African forefathers was
lost due to the breakdown in indigenous culture over the course of many
generations. The metaphors and similes became literal whereas they were once
purely symbolic references to deeper dimensional truths.
We
are being conditioned by social engineers to process the inner depths of our multi-dimensional
reality through two-dimensional flat books, flat screens, flat music, and nutrient
deficient flat foods that lack dimension.
When
the inorganic VR technology is sprung on society how will a man who regularly eats
genetically modified French fries respond to a virtual fried chicken drumstick
that has no weight or mass, but sends a signal to his brain that it tastes good
and quells his hunger?
If
a woman with no online businesses invests a great deal of energy in her social
media likes and follows, how will she respond to virtually simulated hugs as her
Pavlovian reward for generating attention for a social media platform in an
attention economy?
Exercise
the muscles of your imagination. Explore the height, width, depth and curvature
of your inner world. Don’t fall victim to Flat Earth theories on reality that
take on many forms. Stay connected to the world of the real, because in the
face of a global revolution, a new and bizarre VR is where the exploiters are trying to shift the
dimensions of our shared reality.
