Hyperreality

by | | Random

“Am i dreaming of the butterfly

or is the butterfly dreaming of me?”

(Taoism)

The term hyperreality characterizes the inability of consciousness to distinguish reality from fantasy

Umberto Eco and Jean Baudrillard refer to Disneyland as an ultimate hyperreality in America. Eco believes that Disneyland with its settings such as Main Street and full sized houses has been created to look “absolutely realistic,” taking visitors’ imagination to a “fantastic past”^[5]. This false reality creates an illusion and makes it more desirable for people to buy this reality. Disneyland works in a system that enables visitors to feel that technology and the created atmosphere “can give us more reality that nature can”^[6]. The fake animals such as alligators and hippopotamus are all available to people in Disneyland and for everyone to see. The “fake nature” of Disneyland satisfies our imagination and daydream fantasies in real life. Therefore, they seem more admirable and attractive. When entering Disneyland, consumers form into lines to gain access to each attraction. Then they are ordered by people with special uniforms to follow the rules, such as where to stand or where to sit. If the consumer follows each rule correctly, they can enjoy “the real thing” and see things that are not available to them outside of Disneyland’s doors ^[7].

Oracle Cards

My beloved fire based oracle deck.

Somehow it called out to me and it didn’t let go afterwards. I had no choice but to buy it. I am having lots of fun with them. They have an attitude problem sometimes when i keep asking the same questions. They flare up easily and they give very frank answers. Somehow i can feel its wrath in my left hand. It has a lifeforce of its own. I am glad that i found my deck. Although they are quite aggressive at times, somehow they do it for my own good.

“We are here to guide you. To illuminate your path towards the light. You have suffered in the past. From now on, there is a new future ahead… listen to us and you will eventually reach there. “

Somehow when Willie asked me which deck should he get, i felt something behind calling out to me. I turned around… took out the deck from the shelf and gave it to him. It was an Angel deck! A air based one that is. It has this very fluffy and light feeling when I held it.

This is how Willie’s Deck looks like:

His is pretty cool too, all the angels in his deck have their own names.
There was a very dark handsome angel that looks excatly like Willie lol!

Jeri’s Deck

The deck that inspired us to get ours lol.

Strawberry Fields Forever

Lyrics from the song:

Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It’s getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn’t matter much to me.

Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can’t you know tune in but it’s all right.
That is I think it’s not too bad.

Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always no sometimes think it’s me, but you know I know when it’s a dream.
I think I know I mean “Yes,” but it’s all wrong.
That is I think I disagree.

Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
