Raiders Of The Lost Ark Psychic Mystery
It seems to me--and some others, naturally--that life is filled
with a lot of little strange things, happenings, call them
coincidence, or call them nothing, because the term you need
doesn't exist, and, from that point you could really get deep
into the linguistic relativity principle and how language
structures reality, etc., but more so, how it's in our power to
redefine reality through language; though, as it stands,
unfortunately, that language would have to be poetry. Now, I say
unfortunately...and ya'll already know I think poetry is
wonderful....but, unfortunately because I'd like to see
civilization get to the point where individual citizens submit
new words and definitions, and, through some process of voting,
these words get introduced into the English language; and, thus,
new concepts exist and new ways of thinking evolve: and, this
extraordinary power, truly, perhaps the greatest power there is,
would exist in the hands of the populace in a democratic
fashion. I can tell you right now that the way the American
racial lexicon is structured (and, it's no accident that it's
structured as it is) prevents a lot of people from figuring out
some very commonsense things concerning the history of so-called
miscegenation, heritage, identity, etc .This is a rich, deep
subject that I've written about elsewhere, and I could go on and
on, but, not at the moment. I'm going to have to do that at a
different point, because, I'm headed out to NJ tomorrow morning,
and I just don't have the time...
At any rate, at work today, I'm sitting there, watching the
world pass me by (or so it feels), and, for whatever reason, I
find myself thinking about the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Why? I have no idea why. I haven't seen the movie in probably
twenty years. But, I'm thinking about a few scenes from it.
Then, a tiny bit later, I'm walking through the video section,
and one of the mini dvd players happens to be playing that
movie. Many would say this is just a coincidence, and, perhaps
they are right. But, notice this...the word coincidence exists!
