the image persists . . . Persistence of image

 

Grainy black and white photos strung together and put in motion by Eadweard Muybridge 1880s.

 

Dip your hand in the water.
    What is below?

Dip your hand in the mirror.
    What is behind?

Dip your hand in the matrix.
    What is beyond?

Like a mindwurm . . . the image persists.
The persistence of image.

 

A Dream

I am climbing a staircase. The height is dizzying.
I am exhausted.
I come to stairs' end . . . A Childhood's End.

 

I can see the other side, but I cannot straddle the distance in between. The chasm is too large.
I need to jump.

 

I jump.

Then I look behind me.
The rest of the stairs were there all the time, but they were invisible to me.
Like that Indiana Jones movie,

the stairs were there all the time, but I did not see them.

 

YOU cannot see them, but the stairs are there.
It becomes obvious then that
This is a technique
This is an innate ability
This can be done
Open a door into uncharted territory...

 

Assemble the picture in your mind's eye and
Jump

The image persists . . . Persistence of image

 

The entire basis for the motion picture industry
16 frames per second
JUMP!
Muybridge's photo strung together and put in motion
JUMP!
Kinetoscope creates motion
JUMP!
Edison creates movies
JUMP!
Hollywood creates storyline
JUMP!
Television creates Hollywood
JUMP!
Mind creates matrix
JUMP!
The image persists

Persistence of image

 

Is the chasm too large?
Can YOU

JUMP!
