Common Audience

The Witness of the common Audience is an illusion created by certain Individuals as they control and occupy the thought processes of others.

In the same manner that no two or more human beings have identical finger prints or DNA programs, no two or more human beings can share the exact same thought, or feeling or experience without direct or indirect influence by a certain Individual or set of Individuals that create the illusion of a united conscious existence in this physical life on earth.

I believe that as every Individual is unique and separate in his/her Consciousness of himself/herself within the crucible of the identity within, so also is the Individual unique and separate in his/her active earthly perception of the reality being generated around him/her through the eyes of that single and absolute identity.

I believe the illusion of a common Audience is a concept within our minds that originates outside each of us as separate beings, by whatever thought processes have been introduced to create the illusion that we are sharing an experience together, for under this banner we are prone to unconsciously believe that there has been a dissolution of the boundaries between our separate visions of the substantial and insubstantial things around us, and we see and feel things as one, for a moment, a period or a lifetime. It is illusion.

I believe that for every single conscious being on earth, there is an equivalent point of view and narration of a life experience according to that unique identity, so that stories may be recorded at the same time and with similar details and highlights and principles that lead to affinities and alignments, but there is no true common Audience of Consciousnesses simultaneously experiencing an identical awareness of reality from within, for the illusion comes from without. No two or more Individuals are alike, but there are impressions of similarity perceived on the outside through th e process of one or more of them becoming a clone or clones of the others personality and thought processes, for example [in fact, I begin to fear that there is no such thing as soul mates, and I will leave that exploration for when I have ascertained another convincing purpose of existence in this physical world. Luckily, Ive been discovering new things that will not lead my world to crush completely.

For the Truth lies in the fact that not every single life Storys voice can be heard, so the voices that rise above the rest drown out the other Witnesses that are not aware that their voices have gone silent.

An origin of this thought came from the afternoon I was watching the prequel to The Exorcist when the movie came out last year, and was fascinated by one of the last scenes at the climax of the picture where the soon-to-be famed exorcist [not really sure as have never watched the original film, can you imagine? was alone in an underground re-surfaced old tem ple with the woman who was possessed by the devil [my views about the existence of the devil as an actively malevolent identity living amongst us has also been expressed, in fact, also had a thought origin from this movie.

Anyway, guess what yours truly was thinking as I watched the startling, unnerving exorcism of the devil that was speaking through her? Basically, I was wondering who the hell is telling this Story?

For the movie of course it was the Witness of the script writers Story developed by world experience, peoples influence, his active imagination [?, which was further interpreted and relayed by the producer, the director, the movie cast, the camera crew, the movie scenes, the cinema screen, [the people who have watched The Exorcist to those who havent and so on.

But analytically, taking the everyday experiences put into setting around us as we star in our own movies, from the angle the Story was told, I wondered whose Story it was.

The gu y, the devil or the girls? Whose pair of eyes, whose Consciousness held the Witness?

We the common Audience [viewers of the film on our couches in our sitting rooms or in cinema halls, are undoubtedly an illusion i.e. we are not a part of the temple scene, even though for a two and a half hour period we think that we are, but are being Witnessed to by a Story that must have originated from one of the three Individuals in that scene as it occurred.

I decided to guess, and immediately decided that it had to be the Witness behind the guys pair of eyes, especially since the womans being possessed by the devil would have caused many departures and detachments of her awareness from the goings on around her puppet-stringed mind and body [? and the existence of a Witness for the devils Consciousness is still at this stage uncertain to me, besides the fact that he got dismissed anyway, and so couldnt be hanging around filling us all in on the details.

So basically, its definitely a Story from the viewpoint of the man, the voice of his own life Story. Not the devils, not the womans [she opens her eyes, saved from the brink of death from this strong, silent-type guy she always found attractive, so if he says he just cast the devil out of her, hey, whatever, its not like she had any Story about the incident to relate, being unconscious half the time, and certainly not the Audiences. We only, for the film duration, lie under the illusion that the mans Story is the entire Story, and all the Witnesses had a common experience, whereas his Story is not the Truth [for if so then there are three Truths; two left unheard but a Witness shared by a majority.

Im not very clear about where I stand with Objectivism, and this is because I dont have a very clear unde rstanding of its principles. Theories go round in circles for me, and then if they are persistent, into cycles I can learn to follow.

I think it holds to an ultimate Truth; The Truth, that exists outside the human Individuals concepts of it, whether we are able to perceive it or not.

What I believe however, is that for every existing human Consciousness there is an existing Truth perceived by that Consciousness, a Truth that is real and powerful within the sphere of each particular Consciousness where it exists.

Furthermore I believe that these branches of Truth and perception stem from an ultimate Truth and perception; The Truth, that is their common source, that flows into them, a Parent that makes them as real as they can possibly be perceived within their spheres.

So that in essence, we are each living our own Truths, and if our Truths were all made into books they would be each be titled; The Truth -According To This Consciousness. We are each telling stories about The Truth that we perceive through our links in our Consciousnesses to it. And our Truths can be similar; our Truths can run alongside each other for a course of time, as we explore ourselves in The Truth, our Truths can never and will never be the same, for this is the mystery that surrounds their independent creation from The Source in the first place.

Then comes about the mischief, for I believe that the interaction of Consciousnesses and Truths in the physical world leads to a babbling static composed of the millions of voices of the millions of Truths, and in the midst of this chaos, a voice, or set of voices, will always rise to amplify itself, or themselves, above the others, that there be organization and order; a common Story told, an imitation of The Truth; the highest projections of a Truth as The Truth possible, to dwell in the physical world for that time being, while the excess voices are drowned out. And this law was not conceived to be deceptive, since as Truths we are all imitation copies of The Truth anyway, but a pre-determined design of creation.

And I believe that perhaps ultimately, for every lifetime a soul uses to emerge into the current of chaos, his/her Witnessing Consciousness is struggling to stay afloat and above the tide, and may pass through many lifetimes if only to succeed in not drowning, not being swept away and overwhelmed, but crying out its Witness.

And what else were we put in this common environment for anyway, if not to tell each other our Consciousness Witness of one Story or the other?

Audiences are Consciousnesses swimming with the tide of a single Consciousness Witness; for a moment, a period, or a whole lifetime, and a Witness could be a thrilling two and a half hour Story, a sales pitch, or a religions doctrine.

But these stories told by others are all illusions outside the Consciousness of the Witness behind a pair of eyes.

The only conne ctions we have in our lifetimes are our connections to the Source, for this is where the power of oneness lies. It is so complex, how we are so connected and yet disconnected simultaneously. Like light and darkness [always go there, dont I?, male and female, these contradicting simultaneous existences of being one within the Source and being separate within our Consciousnesses, Truths originating from our Parent, lies interacting amongst each other.

There is no common Audience, there is no common Consciousness. We are Truths within ourselves but lies outside ourselves, and surrounded by illusions.

Thankfully, I dont believe its dangerous. We will all eventually return to The Truth in the end.
