'He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear. But so long as he uttered it, in some obscure way the continuity was not broken. It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.'

Back to Earth

So, a magazine company pays 'Brangelina' $8 million to print photos of their baby... Celebrity Fix
...that's $8,000,000 for a couple of happy snaps!

Sure, this is nothing new and in their position I'd accept it too. Yes they are most likely donating it to charity... BUT... the publishers are obviously making $millions more from printing these pictures... and why... because million's of people are lapping this shit up, buying things they don't need.

Guess what? Hundreds of Thousands of babies are born every day. What is the attraction in this particular baby? Who are 'Brangelina'? Let me burst your little bubble and remind you that they are a couple of humans with the same make up as you and I, who you have never personally connected with... surprise!

What is it that attracts the masses to celebrity figures so addictively? Making celebrities out of people reinforces a separation complex to make you feel inferior, making them appear as some sort of higher existence, yet at the end of the day they are 2 out of 6,600,000,000 people who act and have a big driveway.

Why don't you go visit and connect with a real human, instead of something you have been fed through the mass media outside of your own, physical realm...

Of our unconciousness
For example
What does the billboard say
Come and play, come and play
Forget about the movement"
