Each thing, occupies your mind with some kind of mental stimulus - Each vision of a snapshot of a room - a mental imagery. Comprised with a smell, an idea and awareness of outside noises - everything is evocative of an else. Add the complexities of a digitized inter-web - technology firing through your body, your cerebellum, your temples, your fingertips - the actual molecular digitizing of code to a particular frequency, calibration - set point. Your body, fires a response.
(I think of this every time I’m on a web browser set text to type, ready to write out ideas. Each thing on the page, the code, pulling me in, each one different in a visually specific way.)
And then also my mind is occupied by other things. Whole scenarios and ideas - visualizations of events Past and Future. Two cosmic leaps. Complete, fictive identities of a potential-in-the-future. A moment that might never have been, or be = our feelings attaching some sort of discouragement, fear or aversion, and sometimes a jealous envy of a future self - zapping us in the ribs. We are always in one of two places - and also always in both. Three. A trinity of identity. Voracious metaphorical concept. No cruelty of intention or malice in conforming. A hint of revery for, so alarmingly base as to hit at our crux’est of wiring. The language, a burning ember, semiotics of chance,
Ideas and usage bubbling over onto each other spiraling and catapulting into another hinting at abrupt changes of visuals and narratives. We, as everything else, are always changing.
We see things in our mind differently, at several different moments (who can say when when it it seems that a single day can be siphoned off onto even smaller bits of micro separations of self) which category these “moments” fall into separating back further into all of the other categorical/mental separations we’ve given ourselves to further define a “moment” of self (coming of age, self discovery, mid life crisis)
And so these visual images, and these mental images are mixed up like a slide of colored projector paper overlapping themselves. Moving and sliding on top of each other. This is how your mind is pulled.
The recreation in your head at the mind in all three places, This is how your mind is pulled - mentally, visually - and then you - the intermediary joining the absolute potential for two.
