The Love Letter explained ... overture | New Playlist

OK, before I go on with the text: I've just downloaded the MTG video from YouTube using downr.org; And I'll at some point probably make a new Playlist. Which I, I suppose, can easily share like I've done so far.

The point of this? Well, I've just started watching it again ... and had to notice the totally different impression that I was getting. I guess I've seen "that one" before, but now I had a little refresher. And for the most part my statement is unchanged. It is what it is.

But it should be noted that the exact take-away might be different. So, the Britney Spears x Ravnica bit for instance. There's two parts to this, divided by that pretty lady with the whip.

So, previously I've pointed out relaxation as a way to get to 'see' the things - now I'm taken into a bit of paranoia over ... getting brainwashed that way. So, while the thing itself doesn't change, You can then go and analyze it for its concrete messenging. Then ... ironically or funnily enough ... when You know the message and You sit down and relax to it, Your mind knows what's coming and the live impression might shift. Like, You know the thing, You know what's coming, You maybe want to skip this or that; Like me. I was remembering something ... and was internally excited to see it again. In that regard it might be best to just skip to it; And then maybe rewatch it. But the point is, through these shifts, the perception changes.

So, it all kind of evens out over time. The ... Brainwashing bit.
Is I guess a thing to think about.

I mean, it's not like You're going to watch it and be like "oh no! Now I'm Brainwashed into thinking this or that" - You merely had an impression and now You're free to do whatever with it.

So, the Ravnica bit. My focus, generally, would be on the scenery - the places. But this time around I guess I was more so with the Music - and the highlighting of the "Fire Palace" would stick out the most, checking off the "Brainwashing" box. It's ... hmm. Yea ... in that state of mind I'd look for signs of Braiwashing, or what I'd think for it. Which is, in a way, a hypervigilance regarding the messenging. So, calling it a "Love Letter from God" then ends up being 'bad' because it suggests that what You see is ... absolutely HIM. Or ABSOLUTELY Him. And here I guess I have to excuse myself and say, in my defense, that I'm not seeing it from this angle because there is no distance between and the knowledge of how it was made (or "made"). You however don't have that luxury, possibly ever. You can have bits and pieces - and my hope was that the first hand experience matters a great deal. It really would or should tear away the 'veil' - which works because by going through the motion of getting a charge, You consent to the specific act in question. And I suppose if You ever honestly dedicated Yourself to God, to some capacity, You should at least have some kind of predisposition to get more than is promised. Like so, even without a charge You might create convergences.

So, here then the matter with the randomizer gets clearer. The message isn't a message per se, but perhaps more something like a "creature feature". You get what You get. Or You can only retreive from what is put in.

"But then there's more".
"Of course" - in a way. But also, the more You understand it, ... the more clearly You see how the Free Will argument is out of place here. It doesn't matter anymore, once enough stuff converges around a certain thing. If one Track lines up perfectly with so and so many things, past - present - and future, the question whether the track was made for the video or the video for the track also blurs apart. So, if the track was made for the video, it would have been made for 10 different videos - at least. Sotospeak. At the same time. Although there's arguably a sandwitched timeline, where ... in that there's only past and future ... and all things are built on the past (ish), You kind of get a 'video-music-video-music' sandwich, because video and music always go together and one comes before the other. But if you have m1-v1-m2-v2-m3-v3-m4-v4 ... but there's combinations like m1+v4 and v2+m1 ... and all that ... it's eventually required to discard the idea of clear succession; And rather just see any one track with, in a way, all possible videos to either side respectively. Or ... just see that everything that came prior would affect the creation of the present; And the creation of the present would have the most significant impact on where it might fit. So, the creator in the present doesn't know what it is made for - in that sense - he just makes a thing and God is intrinsically a part of it. HE can never be excluded.
So, one rule of thumb would be "You didn't come here to make the choice, You've already made it. Now You have to understand why You made it!". No, just kidding. You got to where You are ... to some capacity by Your own choice, to some by the making of Your environment ... and such. If You don't have the impetus to become an actor, You probably won't become one. If You don't want to paint, You probably won't make paintings. How You do it, How You get from here to there and then and so on, all that's "in the Mix". All that God would need to care of for the Synchronicity stuff, is twist or bend a thing here and there ... a little nudge, nothing that significantly alters YOUR flow with things.

But so HE knows when You come accross an intersection. Like, a first hand experience. And towards those points, everything has already been prepared. Again, by the same mechanisms. So, yea, God takes some liberties I suppose ... or does HE? So, what videos do You have and what music is there? When does it start; And where does it end? Who knows?
If You're keeping it clean, there's just the matter of when to push the button to where ... and at that point, it's all settled.

And so, the idea that it's a DIVINE EXPERIENCE, sure ... eventually kind of falls apart; Although it IS still divine in a way. But it's not SACRED - it's more of a 'common' thing. The idea behind the Divine Experience takes me to the idea that ... for to be a miracle, it has to be all perfect. Like ... a literal, intentional work of art. But that already goes entirely against the claim I'm making. Sort of.
Like, if I took 27 tracks ... each being a single letter of the alphabet ... what would happen? Would GOD speak? I don't think so.

So, there however still is a difference between the MTG trailers and the Solomon Kane movie. But if You pay attention, the Solomon Kane movie still carries a message. Well, there's the movie itself, OK - but in this context we're curious about what the music does with it. So is there the part where the old hag had cured Solomon and she speaks down on the Christian God ... and the Music to it is "No No No" - and it also kind of ... "slacks" ... like "No, I don't want to really vibe with this". But then there's still enough there to "take it through". So, it's not an explicit message, sure - and so the MTG stuff is definitely of a higher quality in practically every way (except for the Live Action part). And that's also why it qualifies more as a Love Letter. There seems to be an intent behind it.

And so, the "Fire Place". It is ... what it is. At the point of making it ... 2019-11-21 ... where was I? Well, I would argue I had clearly established my personality. I was already out, my Sexuality was well known, so - all that "came prior". And so, as this Convergence manifested itself, well ... it is what it is. It practically binds me into the scene, or gives me a high five. And that's the pivotal "Elija Moment". Well, not THE ... PIVOTAL moment - I suppose, but A moment. And to me, that's a fit. IT wraps itself around me. And in doing so, the question answers itself. IF it is a "Brainwash Moment" or not. Sure, if You were to take the video itself ... as an IN FACT Divine Message ... to draw Your conclusions based on what the Video itself suggests ... You become beholdent to the manifestation without second guessing its origin. But I don't suppose we'd all be here if that's what You'd be doing.
We'd already be "Doing It" - if You catch my drift.

So, beyond that You can see the video as FROM ME; And then of course the message FITS. Because ... "duh". As FROM ME, it SHOULD carry MY message. And so we're one step closer to the truth again. Unless someone wants to insist that it is NOT from me. And so we're left with the question of whether or not it is DIVINE. And to bridge that gap, we need more than just arguments.

And so is there NO AMOUNT of footage (alternative playlists) that I could provide, that would PERFECTLY clear thta question. All that it would show, ultimately, is that there are alternative playlists. And that shouldn't be the question at this point.

But then there's the first hand experience. That way, again, You have it implicitly FROM ME. Then You would know that I HAVE THE POWER ... and so, then the question becomes what the source of it is. This we can boil once again down to the "Fire Place". The video itself suggests that God's appreciation for me is in line with what I claim as my Clarity. It would be weird, to me, if it were not. But Your fear would or "should" be - whether that message is correct or if I might be mistaken. Unless You still want to question the validity behind my claim. But here, to me, things blur together. We might try to painstakingly separate all possible answers from each other and tackle each one individually; But so it still comes down to the question of the Source. Is it JUST me, as in: Am I faking it? ... or is it GOD+ME ... and we're legit? So, if we can tick the God Box and the Me Box, then it's [GOD+ME] and the question ... does it need to exist?

If [GOD+ME] is true at all, then why would this one thing be fake?
If I would go through the effort of faking it, because I'd insist on "MY Clarity" ... then ... would I really be working WITH Him, in any way that HE should appreciate?

You can read about what Clarity is, why it is, how it is ... and then make Your own conclusions. You then either tick the Clarity OK Box or the Not-OK one. So, once each Box is individually ticked - then we have [GOD+ME+CLARITY] as a definitively true value - and the answer of whether or not it is Brainwashing becomes a matter of perspectives and definitions. I mean, we could call it Propaganda, I guess ... which in a way makes it Brainwashing I presume. But so, the DEMAND then would or should shift. If we want to call it Brainwashing and don't like that, then we would prefer something like Solomon Kane or the Matrix.

Or just: Random Music without implicit messenging. Like, Matrix + OCREMIX Only. No Lyrics - and if, then it's just nonsense (although there's that "Only Human" track (Metroid)) ... mostly - and a movie that couldn't be further from the truth. That would be the whole thing in its PUREST Form, so much so that I can be cancelled from the equation, and the question is down to what SOURCE You believe it to be from.

As for the MTG thing again, there's a lot of MTG related stuff in there. Well, "Duh". So, it's about Planeswalkers and Dragons and Magic ... and whether the images carry any significant meaning is ... kind of an open ended Question. There are "Points of Convergence" - like, yea, the "Fire Place". Like, the whole shpiel with Chandra hunting down that dude, or Jayce talking about the Chain Veil, I don't know if it means anything to You. But here and there we have elments that are a lot closer to reality - even if it's just an abstract. Like, if You understand my situation enough, You can relate the part with Young Chandra to me. But You might also see Yourself in there ... and some personal redemption You've had. And if You're a Queen Bee, then sure, the Liliana Bits are going to resonate with You. That is just "the overal Neutral".
If You're scared of me, You might see me for Avacyn.
No matter ... what the Boxes are that You tick.

The bottom line is that it is a thing that exists because I watched some video while listening to Music.

If You however feel wired in because You feel like You're "The Shit" - it is so by virtue of the video and the music highlighting it, that it all boils down to Liliana. And if You insisted, that'd degrade me to Gideon - at first, perhaps Jayce as well. Which starts with Liliana popping up in front of Gideon, him looking weird, the Music suggesting that it's OK, followed by Liliana impressing herself upon him. "As You do". You can then say that it STATES, CLEARLY - that I am Gideon ... "therefore ...". It is functionally the same to taking Yourself for Neo. If You insist that You're Neo because You know Kung Fu or ... have a Gun or whatever ... (and maybe taking me for Smith, or the Oracale, or Smithoracle/Smi(ra)cle (Which rhymes with Smeagol - CHECK MATE)) ... then yea, You're DOING it. You're MAKING it true. What am I to say? "Live Your Fantasy!". "Thanks for the Love!"?
I mean, You're essentially telling me to SUCK IT ... unless You manage to square the circle the other way ... . I mean, when faced with the TRUTH and You're looking at me, is THAT what You see? It is, by a matter of a fact, the ULTIMATE YOU PROBLEM. You might not see it that way, You might try to be STRONG so the Victory will be Yours, but what are You winning at?

"Illusions Mr. Anderson! Vagueries of Perception!"

But OK. If ... I had to Yield, well, that'd make me Queen Marika still. No?

Shoved into the tree, guarded by inprenetrable thorns, hidden in what some claim is just an illusion of the Divine.
And which ending would You choose? Head On or Head Off?

Well. So, the final piece in the equasion is YOU. And where You're at with Your mind. And this is where things do also get a bit shaky. There is what we might now call ... "Matrix Psychosis". For the Matrix Psychosis to not be a Psychosis, Your Thoughts would have to be manipulated by God so that they align with the context in front of You. In that regard, it might be worth praying - for HIM to make You see. And I don't want to talk You in or Out of it. The thing however is ... the THEROS parts.

They are certainly the parts that have been shifting the most, between all the times I watched it.

Prominently we have Heliod ... who is an easy Metaphor for God/Jesus ... but not an EXPLICIT one; Since the idea of a PANTHEON allows for alternative interpretations. And it's made by humans. And IN UNIVERSE, Gods aren't really comparable to GOD - but would be more like Angels or Demons. Though not the type that's in the game. But say, the Laws of Nature. But Heliod and the Gods might also be stand in for the ELITE. The Rulers of this world. And based on that, there is no explicit meaning to any of it - and maybe that's why I find them the most annoying part to watch. WHY is it there?

The first answer would be: Because the people behind MTG thought it would be fun to make a set inspired by Greek Mythology. In how far GOD is involved with that ... doesn't really matter. It's a long running game made by ... I presume ... Heathens. And so maybe the better question to ask is: How to cancel this hyper-vigilant interpretation loop from Your mind?

Well, if You try not to see it as a MESSAGE that's supposed to be taken as on face value, but something that is by some degree removed from TRUE REVELATION, the THEROS bits implicitly change their meaning to the point where the Gods are essentially imposters. If God however wants to take You in onto another trip, well, You'd see what He'd want You to see. I however am under the impression, that the whole thing is really good at dismantling itself.

To recap: I suppose You can certainly watch it "The Other Way Around" and see what it does to You. If You want to accept the message then or not. The Music along the Elspeth bits is in tune with a certain mood ... that might jump out at You when You do.

And thus the wheel keeps on turning.

It might seem odd, but if You get two different experiences from two separate views ... it's right there, the answer to that one. Which is to say that when I make another one; You can expect much of the same. The spotlight will shift because the music would strike a different tone - almost inevitably. Right now I can say that I only have a limited amount on music on my drive; And it does amount to a different average. But as in a game of Magic, it's not always sure what You'll get. You might just draw Lands or none at all. Either would defy "the Logic of the Average". But still is there a degree of inevitability for it to come out eventually.

And so, with that being said ... I suppose I should do a "Hands Off". To say, by now I have clearly established my take on this particular bit. It is a concern of mine because on the one hand it PERFECTLY encapsulates MY part of the story. It has personal, sentimental value; And on the other the resistence to it also speaks VOLUMES about where THAT PART is FOR YOU. And if YOU cannot accept it for what it is, IN ALL THE WHOLE that there is, then what is it that we're doing?
And I'm writing this because I feel taken back to the days where I had pretty much the same shit going through my head and some nagging demands for it to be different. Had I done it, we might now argue about which one the TRUE Love Letter is, assuming something of comparable quality had come out.

Unless You want to say that this is truly the thing that has us all STUCK; And all I had to do is to give it another shot. But which is it? Is it to sate Your curiosity or is it for me to PROVE a point? I mean, if You want it because I said a thing - and You construct skepticism from it that I'd have to rebuke - then MAYBE You're asking for too much. I don't know. But it would stand to reason that if You didn't take the FIRST hint, You wouldn't take the second one either. What would stop me from just doing it? My Ego, my Vanity - but it might as well be GOD because in a way I presume HE feels in about the same about it.

It's as pearls before the Pig.

If it's curiosity, that ... that ... I could do. I mean, right now, I'm a bit curious myself.

But if Your answer to what stops me is the implication that it CAN'T BE DONE ... then sure. All I'd have to do is disprove You. But I don't even know what IT is - that isn't PROVEN ALREADY.
Well, apart from some fringe niche maybe that ... You kind of got fixated on for some reason. And THAT I can also dig. It's a thing ... I'd have to pry You away from. And that's ... a HIGHER TRUTH.
I mean, for once, ARE WE ALL ... asking the same question?

As for the thing "As Is" - let's call it the Exodus version - it is beyond specific quibbles. It is what it is, convergent as perfect as it gets. "Give or Take".

With maybe that small pickle ... of the Linkin Park track.

Which ... I would argue has its place herein, for it to be TRULY Perfected - to the point where it breaks the 4th wall as it were. It admits to itself that it's ... what it is. Random Music on top of a video.

But so, whatever the situation is - beyond my knowledge I cannot see. Thus I shall remove myself from the equation, curious as to what God holds in store for us. I run the music off of VLC - where my music spread between three folders. I have opened each of them - not the ones inside - and removed the PsyTrance tracks that You wouldn't be able to recreate. If any some such track comes up ... I'll skip it - noting it down; And You'll have to live with that.
Note: I'm not recording this.

Whoever insisted on being Liliana ... other than me ... is not going to Like this one!
