GlamourUs

Picture perfect pretenders…

Online soul shopping is a hobby of mine. Because what’s shown in person…is rarely ever all there is to see. Studying behavior is still my first love, so soul searching through my screen works for me. Some souls I watch have created public images that seem authentic. But the longer I watch them…the clearer it becomes that this imagery is just a photoshopped persona. Unfortunately, most of us have been conditioned to only believe in what we see. So a lot is overlooked on the basis of kept up appearances. Spiritually speaking, this is a type of glamour magik. And falling under its spell used to be easy for me to do. Until looking beneath surfaces revealed some empty carts…that forced me to check tf out.

The best example of glamour magik I can give…is all the surgically enhanced celebrities…who look nothing like they looked when we were first introduced to them. A lot of them have become completely unrecognizable from their original form. But somehow they still manage to look a lot like all their peers. IMO, there is a certain aesthetic that gets pushed to the forefront in our culture. The further away you are from traditionally africanized features…the more popularity you garner online. Which is disheartening because those willing to alter their entire appearance to fit in with what’s currently socially acceptable…are the same ones willing to poison our youth…for the sake of their bottom line. And as long as they look the part, the younger generations will blindly follow them off the cliff designed to immobilize their growth.

Looking back over my youth and realizing how easily influenced I was by what I saw…irritates my whole soul. Because 99% of it wasn’t real…and the 1% that was…felt like an unachievable standard. And this kind of false advertisement is being rinsed and repeated every generation. Being caught up in this marketed make-believe scheme is fully dependent on how and who you are being raised by. Which is why a lot of our culture is so lost right now. Because their parents grew up in the peak of the social media matrix. The images being fed to us are submerged in superficiality. So a lot of our youth have no concept of the spiritual side of their existence. This truth used to be hard to accept…until I started clouding my vision with conscious clarity.

Love,
