The Autostereogram

Most   people think of a marathon as a long distance event. Maybe so. Maybe   it’s nothing more than connecting the dots as we travel down that long   and winding road.
 

I  asked a young lady yesterday at the front  counter at the gym what book  she was reading. Actually I knew. It was  Brave New World by Aldous  Huxley. I asked her what she thought of it  & she answered “it’s a  chilling book”. I commented that that book  came out about the same  generation that 1984 by George Orwell was  published circa 1948 (Brave  New World was 1932). Anyhow, she quickly  chimed in that it was also of  the same genre of the gentleman who  recently passed away -Ray Bradbury-  Fahrenheit 451. Ok, now I was really  impressed by this person. Most  people and I mean almost ALL people are  not connecting the dots like  this young lady already has…
 

At   least in the secret society business they have “open secrets” and   “hidden secrets” shrouded in symbolism and allegory. The general   populace who are considered “profane” by the adepts are not privy to   this. And by the way, this isn’t conspiracy - just reality. A good   comparison popped into my head - it’s like taking a small bubble of   whatever kind of of liquid it is, putting it under a microscope,  looking  at it and seeing for the first time that it is absolutely  teeming with  life. Or how about this - years ago back in the 80’s the  fad in  specialty pictures had been where you focused in on them &  they  would eventually jump out at you in full 3D detail. Mind you that  on the  surface they meant actually no sense at all.. (What a huge  metaphor if  there ever was one).
 

Per Wikipedia:
An  autostereogram is a  single-image stereogram (SIS), designed to create  the visual illusion of  a three-dimensional (3D) scene within the human  brain from an external  two-dimensional image. In order to perceive 3D  shapes in these  autostereograms, one must overcome the normally  automatic coordination  between accommodation (focus) and mergence  (angle of ones eyes).

So,   here I was back in the 80’s at a place in northern Indiana called   “Nowhere Bar & Grill” (the joke was - where are you going? Answer:   Nowhere) and lo & behold there was one of these big pictures  sitting  encased in glass right there on the wall. Soo, after playing  darts for a  couple hours and occasionally imbibing in some tasty  beverages, I  mentioned I could never make sense of those pictures. The  group that I  was in said “all you do is focus on the “reflection” and  relax your  eyes”. Now all of a sudden it happened. The clarity of the  photo jumped  out at me with such 3D clarity that it was literally  mind-blowing. WOW.
 

Point   here being, these guys (Huxley, Orwell, Bradbury, Kubrick et al) they   all “knew something” about what was going down in the future.
 

And now after all this time, the picture is jumping right out in front of us.
 

The question is - can we see it & let others know the same?
 

When   it comes to the rapture cult; can we see the actual truth behind the   lies that they are telling us (however sincere these institutionalized   people are)? Or, do we still want to stand behind our personal comfort   zone not willing to face up to the truth because our feelings and   relationships come more into focus instead of the truth? Do we have the   spiritual eyes to "see" the Truth?
 

Because that is where the real picture is and for some people, it takes a little effort to see it.
