Re: Sony's blood ritual in promotion......

An interesting sentence from the first article caught my eye...

Topless girls added to the louche atmosphere by dipping grapes into guests’ mouths, while a male model portraying Kratos, the game’s warrior hero, handed out garlands.

I'm thinking of a homonym for the bolded word above....

Is this an example of hyperdimensional comedy?

It's the satanists. The type of people who do this type of thing regularly. They recognize the chasm of non-realization whithin the general public when it comes to the reality of this sort of thing and so, in an attempt to make these gruesome acts more accepted within the populous, they will periodically introduce horiffic stunts like this in full public view and react according to how many sensible members of the public speak out about it and try to stop it. It really is a social conditioning operation targeted directly at the youth.

You'll notice it also rhymes with "douche," as in "Sony... what a bunch of douche-bags."

LOL!! Lono, I think that's the best attitude to have about this gruesome thing!

As far as the serious side.... Xenopope, I do absolutely agree 100% with everything you said, as well.  You summed up the sick reality of it all when you said:

Re: Sony's blood ritual in promotion......

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm getting weary of having to take sides and be "involved" in what's happening here in this reality.  There's always some new "outrage issue!" happening every day that we're supposed to put our attention on, take a position on, get "outraged!" about, etc.  Isn't anybody else getting a wee bit tired of it all?   It's like, can I go home now??  Time to merge with my higher self, bail out of this joint.

Re: Sony's blood ritual in promotion......

Oh I know, I know. This is going to sound gruesome but I find myself looking forward to death sometimes. I'm gonna fly out of here so fast!  I  know what you mean. I just fear the day when this stuff doesn't affect me anymore. There are so many who just don't see anything wrong with it.

I rented a horror movie the other night it was supposedly about a geisha in 19th century Japan-well it turned out to be a torture horror film. You know, part of that new genre of horror popularized in Japan and now taking over screens in the US where they show people getting mutilated in various ways very realistically?? I was completely taken off guard. I thought it was supposed to be a romantic ghost love story from the way it was described. I had no idea.

When the torture scene came on I was riveted to the screen. It was horrible and for a moment I asked myself: "wait a minute how did I come to rent this movie?" I couldn't remember selecting it on my netflix queue. I think it had been sent to me as a bonus video or something!! Then I started to wonder: "Who comes up with this stuff. What kind of mind thinks up something this sick.

I ended up turning it off. I love horror and usually find gore/splatter films silly and fake looking but this was incrediblely disturbing. The movie was called Imprint and it sure did its job. There are scenes I will now never forget as long as I live.

Re: Sony's blood ritual in promotion......

Shoogie, I know what you mean about never being able to forget.  I once rented a movie called "May" that was horrible like that, and I still am haunted sometimes by the images.  I can't decide if I wish they would go away, or if that's just one of the signs that I'm still "impressionable" in the sense that I'm not desensitized.  That's why, honestly, I didn't look at the goat picture.  I've just let everyone describe it so that I know what they're talking about, but there's no way I'm clicking on the image.  As I said on another message board (other folks are angry about it too), "I can't unsee what I've seen, so I'd just better not see it."

It's not necessarily death per se that I'm looking for....because it seems death/5th density/the afterworld, otherside, however people choose to describe it, is just another layer to the whole matrix.  Another illusion, before getting recycled back here again.  I'd like to just...merge with my higher self, that part of me that I've connected to and communicated with and received insights from.

I just find myself looking around at these news stories and it's not that I don't/can't feel....I can....but I'm just tired of being tugged into all these different directions. We're supposed to get worked up.  Supposed to get outraged.  Supposed to take a position, invest our energy....................then what?  Why?  What happens next?   What, we make Sony stop doing this?   Be a computer screen warrior?  big_smile  (a play on the old "armchair warrior".)   What are we supposed to do about most of this stuff?   There was the story about the slain ducklings over in the other thread.   More "heart sinking" after skimming it...admittedly I couldn't even fully read it.  Detached myself, skimmed it enough to get the gist.  But I can't read a story like that.  It's too distressing, and I can't do anything about it.  It's done already.  And "suspension" isn't going to stop a little sociopath/future George W. Bush from killing more animals.  Now they'll just have more time off to do more animal killing.  And all the public "outrage!" in the world isn't going to make the people at Sony feel bad for what they already did with the goat.   They don't care.  (I just remembered a line from the movie "The Island" with Ewen MacGregor and Scarlett Johansen, where Steve Buscemi is sputtering his "They don't care!" speech...."You think they're gonna care?  They don't care!  They don't CARE!" 


There's nothing I can do about any of this.  I can only do what I can do within my own realm.

Re: Sony's blood ritual in promotion......

Wow that's a whole new way of thinking about things for me. I'll have to ponder that, merging with my higher self... I never considered death to be part of the illusion I just sense I would have a lot of fun in the spirit world flying around...but what if the afterlife had its own rules and heirarchy. I don't think I could stand it. I'm just tired of being hemmed in by gravity, rules, expectations, and societal 'structure'

Yup....you should check out this thread: 

http://forum.noblerealms.org/viewtopic.php?id=3843

It totally gets into the parts about the apparent trickery and deception going on in the afterlife.  In particular look for Once & Future's posts and Lipstick Mystic.

That's why it's imperative that we try to gain as much awareness as possible while we're alive, because if we don't, then that lack of awareness, being asleep at the wheel, going through life on autopilot thing will translate over after we die.  I no longer view death as a "way out."  It seems to be a temporary holding area...until we get recycled back, thanks to our own lack of awareness.  hmm

Robert Monroe's work really put another light on the so called afterlife. Bunch of mind control BS! The people were in such confusion stuck in those bands.

Re: Sony's blood ritual in promotion......

Things like this animal "slaughter" stunt are done mostly as vectors of attack against  people like us and formats
like this board, to get us all bent out of shape and reactive, and forget our Higher Selves and what we are really here to do. It's a diversion tactic. It's not a real big loosh ritual, a regularly scheduled meal. It's meant to
look like one and push all our buttons, though. It's an "I know that you know that we know that you know"
sorta thing. Get all outraged and upset, etc. and it's just the effect they want! I think TPTB would go so far
as to invest in a campaign that they know will filter down to the little guys who are not really so little. Collective-
ly, we know things that can start chain reactions and bring down the MCS, if not wholly, at least in big chunks.
We are only able to do this if we see beyond the surface "blood and guts", stop being aghast at what is essentially
bound for the nothingness from which it came.

Re: Sony's blood ritual in promotion......

I'm not really that bent out of shape it's worse when you see something horrible in person similar to this. I'm more trying to be aware of the intention beyond such stupidity. And most of all not letting it slide under the rug just because I'm overloaded.
