We live in a social imagination where agreement is necessary. I have described this many times; what we agree on becomes our social information reality. That means that the information we have, use and share has to mean something to us in the place where we are. It means something because we agree that it does. Without agreement, there is no social reality that we can say with certainty there it is... or I know what you mean.
A group is defined by what it agrees with and even how it agrees... is it by means of democratic process or dictated from the top. Not only that, but culture and ethnicity affect information that is agreed on. Thus, between differing groups, information differs. That's because of meaning which arises for different groups in the place where they are in different ways and means. What one group holds sacred is different in meaning from others.
Basically, agreement is necessary for any group no matter who they are and are not. They necessarily agree on a bulk or bit of information as it works and has been working in the place where they are over time and with a certain amount of success. And, thus they continue to agree as the information they use works fairly well to be worth agreeing on.
Now, every group has their own social pitfalls. You see, in every group, one might hear it one way and one another way. Is that a problem for the group? Yes, sure it is. But sooner or later, the one way will be agreed on over the other way. Does this suggest there a Mandela Effect when it comes to information heard, read, shared and agreed on?
First of all, what is the Mandela Effect?
- The “Mandela effect” is a term coined by self-described “paranormal researcher” Fiona Broome for a type of mass “false memory” phenomenon in which large groups of people misremember a historical event. In this case, the phenomenon occurred on the internet in 2010, in which many people expressed their belief that Nelson Mandela had died in prison during his incarceration in the 1980s, despite the fact Mandela was actually freed in 1990 and went on to become the president of South Africa. According to some accounts, people who believed Mandela had died in prison claimed they remembered watching his funeral on television.
- Now, in an 'evolving' humanity, that can be a huge problem, right? Especially, when being right about something seems to be so important to people of any group/culture/society/state/nation/country... And, moreover, when science supposedly says its this way and not that way. Or, when one powerful country or organization says its this way and not any other way. Adding to that, we have to be able to correctly remember things ...correctly, right. Especially, in order to be forward thinking, forward looking,and forward progressing.
- Given this, we might even ask what is information reality in the social imagination of consciousness and is it subject to the Mandela Effect? Before attempting to answer that, we can extend on that question asking what about what does it mean to remember what we hear in a real consciousness state? Do we actually really remember what we hear and see and remember it absolutely correctly? Or, do we hear/see only what we only want to hear and see... only what we want to agree with? Serious questions... Now, the Mandela Effect calls it misremembering... is the Mandela Effect a perfect case of the strangeness of agreement reality. It is in fact a phenomenon to consider in context of 'real' agreement reality and the pitfalls of it.
- You might conclude its just a matter of misremembering but if we misremember enough and do so as a group... we will have change the past and will effect the present and future by remaining in an agreed upon Mandela Effect.
- Is there a way out? Yes...
- Like an old 60's song says... "Tellin it like it is"!I don't care what they may say
I don't care what they may do
I don't care what they may say
Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alrightJesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alrightI don't care what they may know
I don't care where they may go
I don't care what they may know
Jesus is just alright, oh yeahJesus, he's my friend; Jesus, he's my friend
He took me by the hand; Led me far from this land
Jesus, he's my friend...He is my Hero! - In Him, we live, move and have our being ~ Acts 17:28... So, lean not on your own understanding ~ Proverbs 3:5.
"Jesus Is Just Alright" is a gospel song written by Arthur Reid Reynolds and first recorded by Reynolds' own group, The Art Reynolds Singers, on their 1966 album, Tellin' It Like It Is.[1][2]
ReplyDeleteThe song's title makes use of the American slang term "all-right", which during the 1960s was used to describe something that was considered 'cool' or very good. The song has been covered by a number of bands and artists over the years, including the Byrds, Underground Sunshine, the Doobie Brothers, Alexis Korner, the Ventures, DC Talk, Stryper, Shelagh McDonald, and Robert Randolph (featuring Eric Clapton).
