At
some point in our lives we have been victims of different encircling
resonances; these sounds could be from our environments or from our
emotions (minds) causing distractions of some sort, these distractions
if not managed well can ultimately upset the balance of our tranquil
life and as a man or lady, distractions abound every time with every
waking moment. To my dear eligible spinsters and bachelors, you are
constantly a victim of surround sound technology though the manufacturer
might not be DTS or Dolby! You may not have realised this yet but some
guys and babes are simply sound engineers, they just know how to wangle
surround sound. By surround sound your mind will probably race towards
multichannel audio technologies used for both theatrical/consumer grade
applications owned Dolby and DTS, Inc…and quite rightly the idea for the
founding of this technology was birthed by similar experiences humans
go through in their daily lives.
So
what is a "surround sound" you might ask? It's simply your environment
canopied by the presence of a man or lady (lurking around you like
monitoring spirits) furnishing you with incessant phone calls, constant
sound of text messaging and notifications on social media platforms
(BBM, twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp etc).
When
you open your eyes to the breaking of the day there's a loving text
waiting for you, when you are at your table in the office there’s a
monitoring spirit in form of (BBM, Twitter notification) disrupting your
flow with sweet messages that can set you on an emotional roller
coaster; when you go to bed at night there's a text or deep baritone
voice ushering you to sleep. He/she's the first person you talk to in
the morning (even before God) he/she's the last person you talk to at
night. He/she is everywhere you go (reminds me of MTN)! Darling, Love,
Baby, Boo, Bae, Sugar, Sweetheart, Honey, Sweeriepie... it won’t be long
before he/she gets you! Those words are messing up your brain with a
speed similar to the speed of light, your body tickles in expectation of
those phonic expressions of blandishment! "How was your night darling?"
"Was the mattress comfy sweetheart?" "Have you had something to eat
today honey?" "Baby where would you prefer I take you to for dinner?"
(As if she told him she was hungry) "Sweety, [often pronounced
"sweerie"] was the ride to the office smooth?" "Honey, do you want me to
cook for you?"…and you start chortling from mouth to mouth thinking you
have finally found the one (shaking my head as an African mother does
when her grown up daughter fights for souvenir at her age mate’s
wedding).
Kindness
breeds attractiveness and this is the reason a kind heart is always
seen as beautiful irrespective of what the physical appearance portrays.
By the time you combine this show of care with the tonal quality of the
mellifluous voice; you're finished! Even though it is true words mean a
lot to women, I’m of the opinion that it's even truer for men; and not
just the very words but tonality too. Her voice on the phone painted a
wonderful "picture" of her in your imagination though you hadn't met
her. By the time you finally met her you'd been so hypnotized that the
reality discrepancy didn't mean a thing. The look is different from how
they sounded on the phone (black market). The voice tone created a
covering/veil around your brain processors effectively slowing it down
to that of a laptop with a 256MB RAM; reality becomes skewed. She
somehow strikes you as "Beautiful!" though many will remove the
exclamation mark from your assessment without a thought. Love and lust
create impairment of judgment and as long as you love and lust you're
prone to misrepresentation of reality, and when your gape is layered on a
partial charm of a reality concocted by surround sound you won't see
the obvious.
There
was once a man who never realized how beautiful his woman is, he never
saw it, he couldn't just see it and most of us are like that, sometimes
in life we are just oblivious of the obvious! And occasionally who we
think loves us is the creation of surround sound by an interested party.
There are those who specialize in the synthetic manipulation of
proximity/closeness to produce a phony realism of affection. I know of
an uncle of mine who was reprogrammed by the surround sound of a lady.
My uncle was an usher in the church and here comes the lady as a
worshiper ready to join the church but unbeknownst to my uncle or any
member of the church, this lady was actually in desperate search for a
husband. They started getting familiar with each passing day and before
anyone could say ‘Jack Robinson’ this lady was already pregnant. A great
fight broke out as my uncle’s family tried rejecting the reality of the
pregnancy though they eventually succumbed and my uncle had no choice
but to marry the lady.
There
are three types of perception: what we see with our own eyes; what we
see with our mind; and what we desire to see. Our eyes, minds and
passions see different realities. What we "see" with our mind is greatly
influenced by what we hear; works with the same principle of faith.
Faith comes by hearing or isn’t that what the bible says? Surround
sounds creates what is termed "faith realities". Because faith is the
evidence of things not seen you'll tend to see what is not there. "Faith
reality". In other words, what we hear is so much powerful it can
paint a picture that overwrites what we actually see. Faith does have a
bearing on what we "see" through the prism of passions, lusts and
desires
Faith
is also the substance of THINGS HOPED FOR, so you'll definitely "see"
what you hope for but not reality! Our lusts and desires have the
tendency of making us see what we desire in someone but not what is
essentially there! If the "faith reality" generated by this person is
strong enough he/ she'll succeed in marrying you. That's the simple
fact! It's why some marriages are baffling- and how some people end up
marrying obviously manipulative partners. In simple term faith is a
possibility term because everything deemed impossible is achievable
through faith, Master faith. This is typical of a persistent young man
in the pursuit of a girl; he's simply trying to leverage the principle
of supplication in the bible.
