OCCULT SYMBOLISM IN CORPORATE LOGOS (AND WHY SYMBOLS ARE POWER ELEMENTS)
OCCULT SYMBOLISM IN CORPORATE LOGOS (AND WHY SYMBOLS ARE POWER ELEMENTS): "'Symbols instill beliefs and shape attitudes that underpin social structures. The binding force of culture, by and large, is a web of symbols that enables people to control and make sense out of experience in patterned ways. We should have learned from the history of colonialism, slavery, and Nazi eugenics that the way one group in power sees and imagines another group of people can set the stage for violent action. A democratic society does well to attend to the dominant images it puts into mass circulation, particularly media representations of vulnerable groups. Images and symbolic representations drive public policy.' - Dwight Conquergood, Chairman of the Department of Performance Studies at Northwestern University’s School of Speech. http://www.uic.edu/orgs/kbc/Features/Power.htm"

Esperanto, an artificial language introduced in 1887 and intended by its inventor, Dr. Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof (1859-1917), a Polish oculist and linguist, to ease communication between speakers of different languages. In the 20th cent. it has been taught in schools and universities throughout the world but has not received wide acceptance as an international language. Its grammar and lexicon are relatively unfamiliar to users who do not know other Indo-European languages; its syntax, spelling, and pronunciation are influenced especially by Slavonic

Walking into a house you've never seen before and realizing there are pictures of you all over the walls and you had no idea, is a little weird... that a place you've never been already has some idea of you in mind..
and it's even more unnerving to consider whether their take on you is closer to the real you... a little more true than the places you've been forcing yourself to get through

When I was little I was totally in love with Star Search; Obsessed.
I remember sitting in my grandma's bed at 7 or 8 years old in my Pj's, with wet, freshly permed hair (which gave me the dopest peggy bundy hair-do) and waiting patiently for Ed McMahon.
At that time if you had asked me, I probably would have told you that Star Search was my life's destiny. I was positive that I would conquer that show, even though I couldn't sing, and although I swore I could dance really good, there were subtle implications to make me think not everyone agree'd.
Oh yeah, Ed McMahon is said to be going into foreclosure on his house. The Economy is so bad that it's de-throwning the face of Star Search? Mike Tyson is a different story, he didn't make dreams come true, he bit ears.
