Pareidolia


Deep within, there is a desire for recognition within the perceptive field,an inbuilt mechanism to attempt to anticipate the future actions of a being, by the expressions revealed, at the point where the senses and the awareness intersect with the body and soul.

The reflex to identify and individuate the- character- will-mood-spirit-intent- is a precognitive, communicative mind reading wish that is part of the ancient habits of  flesh and form.

Face to face intimacy, authenticity is a function of life process continuation, trust, understanding,
 of empathy and telepathy are part of natural survival,
 a shared  force of life, a common trick of the trade.
Fertility in familiarity.
Ancient echoes the need for instantaneous responses to questions unasked,

safe or dangerous?

to see what is -  a  - head !

looking for the head, the controlling ,deciding agent, the intelligence, the mind behind the face.
is it aware it is being observed? is it aware of its observers?
seem interested in interacting?
is it responsive in expression?


approval or disapproval ?

happy                        sad ?
How we look when we see.....How we see when  looking....
what kind of look was that? in the eyes of another.

The eye of the beholder is less aware of their own (facial) appearance in relation to their active  engagement with a subject, physical or imaginary.
The more expanded the dialogue becomes,
The more the discourse increases in volume,
The more exaggerated the spiritual mask ,
The more manipulated the exchange,
see  the   difference............... how animated
symbolically representing, the many true faces, with real expressions of life, individual style, opinions, tastes ,special ways of being, that change from day to day,
 the more distance is made between the genuine essence of the personal passions,
 qualities  of  vital uniqueness of breaths, of thirsts,of thoughts.

Social Spirits are similar simple story showing a predisposition for moving with masks and memory .
A container of context and continuity in changing creative culture community clairvoyance.
Group acceptance,audience behavior,participatory dynamics,mood of the moment, tide of the time.
Passing acquaintances, maybe?
Face familiar, possibly?
Crossed paths, common friends, shared interests,favorite collections, preferred memories
desired outcomes are not all achieved in the same way, at the same time.
to see eye to eye- look them in the eye
Magic  Drama is not playing pretend.
The unintended outcomes of efforts and the accidental discoveries may not be all loving and kind ones.
awareness of the feelings of others, what made them happy, the look on their face.
see it in their eyes.
Being engaged in the direct experience of presence and persona,
 is what real life and real living are about.

The real story. recognizing real person hood.

Faces as wished for, Beings and behaviors picked up through books, and other medias are mechanized reproductions fixed by convention,
 popular puppets of expectation,trapped in a role not of their making.
They lack the character of will- spirit- autonomy that I have come to see in the company of other faces,
face to face.
