[ti]spire[/ti]Ariana Grande - Focus, Focus Focus [on me]

I feel like I want to talk about this video. It's not that I understand some sort of hidden meaning about it, just that it has a meaning for me especially which I doubt it has for most other people.

This video came out in October of 2015, which was 2 months or so before I had the breakdown which changed my life. Back then, a ton of my attention was on the Illuminati Handler thread which eventually migrated to this forum and actually is the reason this forum exists. You see, a friend of mine did not like Jos, the OP of the Illuminati Handler thread and asked to get Jos kicked off GLP. Somehow, the person she asked to do this got it done. And Jos emailed me telling me there was no way, even from behind vpns or proxies, for him to continue posting, because someone kept banning him. So he'd effectively been silenced.

Now I was still so interested in continuing our dialogue that I made a blog post for the Q&A, which went on until I felt like it was so disorganized because the blog had never really been meant to facilitate dialogue. That led to the creation of this forum as a new host of the discussion and here we are today, the irony being that this place would not have existed if this set of feelings and motivations had not caused things to transpire the way they had. It almost seems rather fateful.

But back when Focus first came out I was still on GLP and the Handler thread was still going, so the song drew up all these extra associations in my head.
"I can tell you're curious, it's written on your lips."
I was curious - I was even emotionally impacted, drawn into a world that at first glance seemed to have nothing to do with me personally, mind control and famous pop stars and powerful people and how they were functionally reprogrammed, little different from a machine despite their humanity. So it seems appropriate that when Jos migrated here he called the whole endeavor a machine. If you want to be and stay in power, you need to see people as machines so that they can be coded. It doesn't matter if this reflects the truth, it's the attitude you have to have to keep the process of your control running at full steam.

"Focus on me" is what Ariana Grande said, and I was really doing it. I was focusing on her, and not just her but who claimed to be behind her, and who claimed to represent her true nature. Whether or not these claims were true didn't matter as to the way this song became encoded for me emotionally and the effect it elicited whenever it came up due to its popularity as it often did. It sent all the gears in motion in my head as I again began to consider this reality where people are mind controlled as a service.

The song seemed to be extra interesting at that time because "focus" is the name of the game when you want to determine who thinks what. It all depends on what people focus on. If they focus on fame and fortune, then the same structure that capitalizes on their lack of it gains staying power. When you determine what people focus on, which seemed to be the whole idea behind mind-controlled illuminati pop-stars, you control their reality, effectively. You don't need to go up to them individually and mind control them in person, because they are predictable variables and you are the one who programs the machine.

Is attention energy? Is energy attraction? Is attraction magick? Maybe it doesn't matter how you categorize attention insomuch as how you use it when you have it.
"Let's find a light inside our universe now-
Where ain't nobody holding us down.
Come and get it, let them say what they say.
Because we're about to put them all away-"

you could say that the song became something to me personally that it was not to anybody else. And that the fault was in my own mental programming, and what I choose to focus on. But if my focus leads me to do something, write something, say something, or in any way create something that changes what somebody else thinks about or does, then you can say my imagination is no longer just some concept with no power. In fact, if I manage to get your attention, then my private thoughts and my reality begin to influence yours. That is why when you give your attention to something, it's called "paying" attention. Because energy is a gift that comes with a price, whether it is given or it is demanded.

What terms you frame it in may change whether you see this stuff as "magick" or you see it as "psychology". The matter is that mind affects matter and in that there is the foundation of madness and magick. So when I listen to this song, the contents of this post are unpacked in my head and condensed into their essence of feelings and emotions, but because I can trace the tracers that leave notations on my vision, I can relay this information to you as something comprehensible and not rely on you to somehow reach the same conclusions and thoughts that I did in order to get there.

It turns out, the world is somewhat stranger than fiction alone.
