Black Hole Sun, Won't You Come?

Hollywood Forever Cemetery - Hollywood, CA

Random movie trivia - in Hot Shots Part Deux, there is a scene at this cemetery.  There are peacocks walking around squawking!  Bella was thoroughly entertained.

There's something (wink wink) about being back in Colorado that puts me in deep morning reflective meditation.  This morning I thought about this - have you ever been in a situation where you are literally "living out" a scene from something you have previously watched or read about?  In other words, where you are seemingly repeating a very specific medium your mind was fed -  and now it is randomly projected through light or "reality" right in front of you - and you're playing out a role in it?  It happens to me, I wouldn't say "often" -- but enough for me to even make mention of it at this exact moment in time.  

Now that I've shared this with you, were you immediately conditioned to have thoughts like: "Is she crazy...?"  "Does she have a 'paranoia'..." or a "Is she suffering from a 'syndrome?'..."  All I have done is think outside the box or the matrix in which we are all presented at birth -  by simply "daring" to recount how many times I could think of a "real life scenario" repeating one I had previously seen or "inputted" through film, television or any selected medium for that matter.  

I would think quite a few people believe in the "Law of Attraction" or the ideal that "we become what we believe/think" or "you get back what you give" or "you can manifest your own reality" - all expressing the same thing through slightly altered semantics.  WHAT IF your subconscious thoughts, 5 times stronger than your consciousness and also fed through daily input, can manifest a reality, too?   Think about this - Why were your first thoughts not, "wow, that's really cool!"  Or, "whoa that's deep!"  Or, "Tell me about your experiences and what movie scenes they repeated, that's wild!"  Or, "let me think about it, too!  That's amazing!"  Why is it wrong to be naturally curious or open minded enough to consider that anything is possible?  And, why does curiosity or "diversity of thought" make the herd feel intolerance (intolerance: (n) a shield to protect you from feeling uncomfortable)?

I'll answer my question above with another question: Why are we programmed to immediately shut down anything that makes us remotely uncomfortable as 'crazy' or 'conspiracy?'  Is our major "control" factor navigating us to how we react in any given situation - "just how uncomfortable will this make me feel?"  We know that change happens outside of comfort zones - the more we welcome and participate in change - the more we grow as a person (this really goes without any in-depth evaluation - when presented with new levels, we have no choice but to evolve).  Another question - is being "uncomfortable" holding us back from who we really are, what we really represent, and what we're really capable of?

So, I'll start with my black hole sun - the uncomfortable truth - my darkness - I am a fraud.  I'll admit this about myself.  While I would love nothing more than to use my writing to to shine light on evils of the world - I carry and regularly use an iPhone with the best photography mode for a minimalist who doesn't want to carry a camera (made by slave labor), I own Nike and Adidas clothing (again, made through slave labor), and recently I made a purchase online and didn't even check where it was manufactured - it was China.  The unpopular truth is - I simply don't want to disrupt my own comfort to even think about how these items arrived in my possession - else there would be NO WAY I could, with good conscious, buy one of these products.  It's "out of sight-out of mind" mentality.  If I don't think about it, it's not really there.  It's not MY reality.  

SUMMATION (or Colorado Kimmie's final thoughts): what COULD BE so inherently evil with "being comfortable" or "turning a blind eye"- if we don't take a stand against all evils (as opposed to 'cherry picked' evils,' then we will perpetually remain puppets of our own cause - only defending what make us individually uncomfortable OR only defending what fits within a certain presented narrative.  Who was it who said (paraphrasing) - you can never be fooled if you simply focus on WHAT is right, not WHO is right.  Is this true?   Voltaire said, "We are all guilty of the good we did not do."

IN MEMORIAM: I would like to dedicate this post to a group of people who selflessly gave themselves to truth:  These individuals were brave enough to speak up in a world of darkness - against a Goliath industry - and now they're all dead.  Here is a link to a promo for an intended documentary called "The Silent Children," that Chris Cornell, Anthony Bourdain, Avicii, and Chester Bennington were all working it.  The narrative? -- that these three brave individuals took their own lives.  The documentary was going to shed light on pedophilia and sex trafficking widely participated in by many, not all, elitists everywhere - Hollywood, the Beltway, media, millionaires/billionaires - WARNING: It's extremely uncomfortable to watch - but this is a very real "pandemic" affected so many more people than a virus ever dreamed of doing:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1p9IrG-gXY

I'll leave you with the lyrics of this 90's smash hit song, "Black Hole Sun" (in the medium of a music video which displays amazing imagery.)  Cornell spoke out about something I bring light to often - snakes posing as human  Soundgarden referenced, in many interviews, how people were cold blooded back-stabbers in the music industry.  They make mention of how they wish someone would come destroy the snakes.  The band regularly stated their success came from luck and hard work - as they were very anti-establishment:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbBbFH9fAg

Lyrics

In my eyes

Indisposed

In disguises no one knows

Hides the face

Lies the snake

And the sun in my disgrace

Boiling heat

Summer stench

Neath the black, the sky looks dead

Call my name

Through the cream

And I'll hear you scream again

Black hole sun

Won't you come

And wash away the rain?

Black hole sun

Won't you come

Won't you come

Won't you come

Stuttering

Cold and damp

Steal the warm wind, tired friend

Times are gone

For honest men

Sometimes, far too long for snakes

In my shoes

Walking sleep

In my youth, I pray to keep

Heaven send

Hell away

No one sings like you anymore

Black hole sun

Won't you come

And wash away the rain?

Black hole sun

Won't you come

Won't you come

Black hole sun

Won't you come

And wash away the rain?

Black hole sun

Won't you come

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)

Won't you come? (Black hole sun, black hole sun)

Hang my head

Drown my fear

Till you all just disappear

Black hole sun

Won't you come

And wash away the rain?

Black hole sun

Won't you come

Won't you come

Black hole sun

Won't you come

And wash away the rain?

Black hole sun

Won't you come

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)

Won't you come

Won't you come

A spark of light in a dark world, 

Kimmie
