Personality Bias: A Colorless Mirage

If you cannot see me beyond where I live, what I drive or how much money I have, then I am nothing more than a mirage to you; a colorless mirage void of material goods.

If I don't have a title suggesting that I am someone of importance, I am discounted and looked over. If I am not in a position of power and authority then I am considered a nobody. If my name is unfamiliar then surely I have nothing significant to say so I am labeled as unworthy to listen to and ignored. Lets take a look at what I mean by personality bias and what it means to me.

Personality Bias: 1. The act of ignoring or denying someone an audience due to lack of notoriety.

The thought behind the notion that one has to be in the public eye to be considered important or to have something important to say is asinine. The thought behind the notion that if you're an athlete, entertainer, pastor, politician, scholar, or someone of that caliber, that they are the only ones who have anything significant to say is preposterous! I think it is sad when you're looked upon as an average Joe you're automatically relegated to the status of a social peon -- a colorless mirage.
In the wake of recent events it has been the so-called public figures who consistently put their foot in their mouths by using flimsy talking points to make a point. Often times when there is no point to be made. Then the media eats it up, regurgitates it, feeds it to us and we eat it up.

To me, this is abnormal behavior normalized by the social big wigs who think that intelligence, good diction and relevant information are attributes that only those of social notoriety can possess. See, when abnormalities are normalized and we buy into the hoax, we become an accomplice in our own subjugation. Furthermore, we teach the next generation to capitulate to the machinations of the purveyors of said abnormalities. I've seen people who I call the wise and unknown drop precious jewels and life nuggets in small group discussions only to have a few return to the group on fire about the 'new' information they received. As it turns out, the information wasn't new at all, it was the same recipe they heard a week before, but it only resonated with them after Pastor Sugarfoot said it.

See, they only heard the message when someone they held in high regard said it. The potency was the same, it just had to come from someone with a title who was in the position of authority for it to have true meaning. That is what I mean by personality bias. You can't hear Joe because Joe is just Joe, a factory worker with no title and no public figure status. But if Dr. Do-Good says it then it must be the actual factual truth.
It is maintained within the realm of my perspective that we must move away from the celebrity mentality about whose important and who is not; who knows more about this or that subject; who is more intellectually adept; who knows whom and how certain associations somehow validates you as being better than your counterparts.
We must detox from the attitude of competition and intoxicate ourselves with the aptitude to engage in healthy, meaningful dialogue regardless of how bright the lights shine one one's name or how dim they may be on someone else's. Anything less than this speaks to and continues to feed the insatiable appetite of division which has acquired Herculean strength off the steady diet of colonizing people based on their social classification, religious affiliation, education, creed, color and/or ethnicity.

The narcotic power of media propaganda has both pacified and falsified our consciousness with poison narratives spun from the minds of the Wizards of Lies who's agenda is to blur the lenses of reality while expertly weaponizing mediums used to create an illusion. It is orchestrated speculation. And they use talking heads to get it done. Listen, all I'm saying is control your own narrative by broadening your listening horizons; truth, genuineness, and authenticity aren't always found in the mouths of the social elite, but exploitation is done with a pitiless rapacity.

Pay attention to the little guy sometimes; for it is there where you'll often find purity of heart and a willingness to go the extra mile if it means better conditions for his/her people. A colorless mirage only shows up in Black & White when one is confined to E.L.F. (Extra Low Frequency). Banish your personality bias by calibrating your sense of hearing, your attitude toward the unfamiliar, and your overall mental awareness to 360 degrees. This will ensure a perpetual cycle of learning and bring vivid coloration to your world, making real what was once thought to be a mirage, regardless of who's headlining.

Hunger Pains and Poison Cookies: The Dangers of Substitutes and Alternatives

I thought about this title, its concept and what it would actually entail if I decided to turn it into a book. I thought about it for many years, since 2011. After many sessions of self-reflection in the area of decision making and observing the decisions of others and the consequences of those decisions, I finally said to myself -- the time is now. The necessity of such a book is vitally important in a time where it is the norm to want what we want and go after what we want by any means necessary. The problem with that is the desire to have what we want often overrides the importance of what we need. We hunger for the want at a rate much higher than that of the need, which usually results in filling the void of hunger with something or someone that ends up making us sick, or worse, and that is the poison cookie. How many of you can remember when you were children playing with a set of blocks that came in an array of shapes, sizes, and colors? Some of the blocks had letters and oth

Compassion Fatigue: Going the Distance Without Giving Up Or Giving Out

If you've ever been in the position of being someone's primary care giver, you will definitely relate to what is to follow. If you are working in the medical field in any capacity, i.e. nurse, doctor, certified nursing assistant, physical therapist, clinical counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, parent, and even as a mentor or life coach, you too will also relate to the content of this blog. the title 'Compassion Fatigue' is a professional term who's primary use is in the arena of vocations where working in close proximity to a patient/client is required, such as the aforementioned in the first paragraph. The definition of Compassion Fatigue, according to University of Tulane Professor Dr. Charles Figley is two-fold:  1. The emotional residue or strain of exposure to working with those suffering from the consequences of traumatic events. It differs from burn-out, but can co-exist. 2. The mental and physical exhaustion and emotional withdrawal e

Contempt: The Seed That Familiarity Breeds

First, I'd like to start off by apologizing to those of you who enjoy reading my blogs for the long delay in between articles. I've been dealing with a few health issues. But today I feel well enough to sit down and share with you one of the many observations that has caused me to want to write about it. The brother in the above video is Alvin Brown; if you listened to it you already know what he does and what his credentials are. In this four minute segment he makes several statements regarding the title of this blog that can be used as good talking points. The first of many for me was at the 1:32 mark where he says, "Sometimes when you get familiar with something or use to something you overlook the value of it." This is very true. But let us take an up close and personal look into why. How many of you recall when you were younger and everything you got came out of your parent's pocket? You got a new pair of sneakers, mom or dad bought them. You got a ne
