For most, if not all of us, the image of the reality of our surroundings taken in by the eye becomes distorted as we process its meaning. It becomes a parallax view of reality. Our eye denies truth to our mind, or rather it is our mind denying the truth that our eye beholds. We perceive a sanitized rendering of the grotesque and necrotic decay that encroaches ever rapidly upon us. This internal alteration of the external is predictable and programmatic. Consequently, this phenomenon is constantly used as a channel for manipulation of the individual. Symbols are endlessly placed before the eye. The stimuli produce the desired effect. As these false images travel along the optic nerve and settle into the optic lobe of this being, the mind deteriorates and weakens. This occurs on a massive scale resulting in a sort of societal schizophrenia for the masses of these sickened souls. The subject is acted upon, and, as the rapid succession and superimposition of stimuli increase exponentially, the breakdown of the individual consciousness becomes imminent. It is possible, however, for some to gaze beyond the hallucinatory transmissions, but even cursory glances have the potential to wreak havoc on the mind of the observer. For those few who not only undertake the act of looking upon the uncomfortable visage of reality, but who actually choose (or are, perhaps, unfortunately cursed to do so) to rip apart the veil that conceals the awful images behind, the result is frequently catastrophic. The toll it takes on the individual psyche is tremendous. Some nevertheless still seek out the ruptures in the illusory fabric that enclose the individual—locating the fissures in the façade and opening them into wide gaping wounds in the false reality. At that point, the transmissions from both sides of this veil can be manipulated and exploited. The resulting effect is unfathomable to most. It is terrifying, and yet the decrepitude one witnesses can have its own allure nonetheless. Language alone is incapable of conveying the apprehension of lifting the veil and seeing the human form dismantled. Representations, visual, linguistic and otherwise, while inadequate to demonstrate the totality of the psychic damage, nonetheless provide a map into the constellations of madness and reality. The nexus between these two regions becomes illuminated as a synaptic pulse flickers across neural pathways of the overmind. A new circuit is opened and the membrane of the multi-verse is charged for an instant.
