We Live in a Social Imagination....

We live in a Social Imagination. There is no other existence for man. There is no other way or means to imagine life, the created universe and even aliens if you want. Given that, the social imagination has rules, never doubt that either. The main rule is this - agreement. If we do not have agreement as to who and what something is and is not... it is not real for us and or is not yet real to us until we agree.

From this truth, I and you can argue with every single scientist on the face of the earth. We can argue every single science, every single world view, every single idea, and every belief regarding what is really the truth and what is not. Now, you can argue that being a Christian is not excluded from such. I never said it wasn't. In order for any argument to be legitimate, there has to be an absolute truth.

Another rule in the social imagination is that our social imagination is based on an absolute truth. And, that it is an information reality. We experience 'information' (which comes from somewhere or someone absolutely); and, it is that absolute information that we desire the most and want to share as it 'truly' matters whether agreed on or not agreed on; though, absolutes are always agreed on.

The fact that we can agree on anything (absolute truths; i.e. the sun is a star) through shared information as to what is and what is not is an incredible example of the social imagination at work... having an absolute truth with an absolute source for the 'best' agreeable information to share and even to enjoy.

The ability to agree about 'best' agreeable information follows the main rule which is that the social imagination is an agreement reality. In every single man/woman is the desire for agreement reality with the absolute truth.

Is there any other kind of reality? No. That would be only darkness. But aren't there other kinds of information out there that we could agree with? Yes and no. Yes, other information as the distorted absolute truth that we could possibly agree with. No, because, there cannot exist absolute truth we could not agree with. However, there is information that we may disagree with because of that built in desire to agree with is the distorted absolute truth. Again, there can be no absolute truth 'information' that comes to us from the absolute source that we can't agree with.

The most important feature of an information reality is that the information that is agreed on is always coming from the source of the absolute truth which it is... truth that stands the test of time such as the sun is a star. All information that is all absolute true information has an absolute source from which it comes from which means that it could not be coming from within the users, it comes from outside of the users of that truth. An absolute stands alone, immovable and untouchable; in the sense that the users of it could never be equal to it.

We can imagine that whenever absolute truth is ever disagreed on it is a distorted version of the absolute truth and distortion is caused by false distance which either rises up on its own or has been put between us and the source from which absolute truth comes.

We don't have to understand the source of the absolute truth, nor its complexity. We just need to embrace it. Man's greatest desire is for the presence of the absolute truth to exist and to share that knowledge. That gives us joy, peace and hope; because, it is the expression of a harmonic relationship with the absolute truth (source of absolute information) is our salvation...

Having said that, we always find answers to our questions regarding our existence... discovering the created universe. Our greatest desire is to experience the absolute truth through agreement reality which is the social imagination... our true agreement reality our true social imagination is to have agreement with the absolute truth and its source!

Now, you might ask...Can we agree with a lie in the social imagination? Yes, we can. And, many do so out the desire to agree with the absolute truth... but the lie is put before them and they overlook the absolute truth that was always there. Why is a lie put before them? Why does a lie exist? Its exists because of doubt... doubting the absolute truth.


*The social imagination which is our information reality has its absolute source who is God (Father/Son/Holy Spirit), the Creator of heaven and earth,of all things seen and unseen.

End of the Line in the Social Imagination... Machine ~ Part 2

It was necessary to provide the full movie description; given in part one of this blog series. And, it was necessary to give the description of Machine ... the end of the line. Over the years, many viewers and or critics have had their go at the meaning of this Jarmusch film. Many of those go (s) were quite interesting. This time, its my turn and just to let you know it may be my last post ever. Because, I realize that its the end of the line in terms of discussing the social imagination.

Let's think back to the film's climate (black/white), genre (western), characters (a white European by descent poet/Native American) and wordage (Machine, the end of the line and the warning given while on the train speeding toward that destination) in order to better understand why 'machine' could be the end of the line for human social imagination.

And, let's think back to my last February post about 5G virtual reality. For me, 5G means the end of the line for the kind of social imagination we have experienced in the recent and farther past and could expect to experience if it were not for 5G... what appears as the coming end of the line for that recent and farther past.

Thinking back to the film's description (Part 1) and the 5G blog post, a picture should already be coming together in your 'social imagination'. Black and white represents the past, western represents a new frontier, the characters outline conflicting groups between two different races/ethnicity, and the choice of wordage ushers in a new world order while kicking out the old way. Isn't that what is going on now.

Will some of us be caught at the end of the line? Yes, and some will be begging to get in and live a new way. Which is actually suggested at the end of the film when we see Blake in the canoe drifting out to sea; along with Nobody on shore getting shot down. Blake looks on immovable and in that same tragic moment something new seems to be dawning in Blake's final gaze at the sky.

We have to wonder if we can actually imagine something new in the last moments of this social imagination... as the end of the line is approaching. Can we in fact imagine something as new as a 'machine' taking over our human consciousness and I mean 5G integration man with machine... a social imagination in a computer driven virtual reality? Some say, if we can dream it, we can live it.

Really? Could our given social imagination conceive of such an existence; think outside of its current bounded social reality? Some will say, of course; after all, we imagined it. Well, we can imagine a lot of utopias but that does not mean everything we imagine can or should come to fruition. Some things are better left in the imagination for the social well being of the social imagination; for it to actually function without getting lost or totally screwed up...truly ending up at the end of the line in an inescapable dystopia!

The End of the Line... Machine ~ in the Social Imagination Part 1

Dead Man is a 1995 American Western film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch.  The main character William Blake played by Johnny Depp, an accountant from out east, rides by train to the frontier company town of Machine (which Blake is told - "Machine, Its the end of the line") to take up a promised accounting job in the town's metal works. During the trip, the train Fireman warns Blake against the enterprise. Yes, he is warned!

Arriving in town, Blake discovers that the position has already been filled, and he is driven from the workplace at gunpoint by John Dickinson, the ferocious owner of the company. Jobless and without money or prospects, Blake meets Thel Russell, a former prostitute who sells paper flowers. He lets her take him home. Thel's ex-boyfriend Charlie surprises them in bed and shoots at Blake, accidentally killing Thel when she tries to shield Blake with her body.

The bullet passes through Thel and wounds Blake, but he is able to kill Charlie using Thel's gun before dazedly climbing out the window and fleeing the town on Charlie's horse. Company-owner Dickinson is Charlie's father, and he hires three legendary frontier killers, Cole Wilson, Conway Twill, and Johnny "The Kid" Pickett to bring Blake back 'dead or alive'.

Blake awakens to find a large Native American man played by Gary Farmer attempting to dislodge the bullet from his chest. The man, calling himself Nobody, reveals that the bullet is too close to Blake's heart to remove, and Blake is effectively a walking dead man. When he learns Blake's full name, Nobody decides Blake is a reincarnation of William Blake, a famous poet whom he idolizes but of whom Blake is ignorant.  

He decides to care for Blake, and use Native methods to help ease him into death. Blake learns of Nobody's past, marked both by Native American and European discrimination; it is detailed that he is the product of lovers from two opposing tribes, and how as a child he was abducted by English - 'British' soldiers and brought to Europe as a model savage.

He was briefly educated before returning home, where his stories of the white man and his culture were laughed off by fellow Native Americans. He gained his name, Nobody, at this point, the literal translation of which is revealed to be "He who talks loud, saying nothing". Nobody resolves to escort Blake to the Pacific Ocean to return him to his proper place in the spirit-world.

Blake and Nobody travel west, leaving a trail of dead and encountering wanted posters announcing higher and higher bounties for Blake's death or capture. Nobody leaves Blake alone in the wild when he decides Blake must undergo a vision quest.

On his quest, Blake kills two U.S. Marshals, experiences visions of nature spirits, and grieves over the remains of a dead fawn that was killed accidentally by his pursuers. He paints his face with the fawn's blood and rejoins Nobody on their journey.

At a trading post, the clerk identifies Blake and attempts to kill him but is instead killed by Blake. Shortly after, Blake is shot again and his condition rapidly deteriorates. He awakens in a canoe on a beach wearing Native American funeral dress. Nobody bids Blake farewell and then pushes the canoe out to sea.

As he floats away, Blake watches Cole sneak up behind Nobody; but he is too weak to cry out and can only watch as the two shoot and kill each other. As he looks up at the sky one last time, Blake dies and his canoe drifts out into the sea. The film fades out with beams of sunlight in the clouds still visible, showing Blake is either in the Spirit World or has been reborn again.
