People spheres, by Dominick

Sometimes when I get bored, I like to observe people's sphere's. Everyone has one. They are visible only to the trained eye. You see, people exist in a world of their own creation, or as Robert Anton Wilson would say "Reality Tunnels". One can see how another human looks at the world by observing certain mannerisms, eye movements, and other peculiarities of body kinetics. You can tell an angry man's sphere by noticing that he always looks down, avoids eye contact with other humans, is constantly bobbing his head around as if he is being attack by some invisible pests. The way you determine the visual sphere is by taking the range of motion and the sum total of all of these movements, and form a mental imagine in your head on 3-d graph paper. And tada, your people sphere.

Naturally if you are in your own sphere, as mostly anyone is, your perception of other people's spheres will be skewed. This is due to your own unconscious binding to your own spherical limitations. Think of it as us from Earth observing the orbits of the other planets in the Solar System. Early astronomers were perplexed by Mars and other planet's apparent retrograde motion across our sky. This is of course because we are moving also, but in a totally different orbit.

Now, if you were to suddenly "break free" of your own sphere, you would be free to observe the normal people around you's spheres. Breaking free is not an easy thing to do. The way in which I do it is by consciously widening my peripheral vision and immersing myself in the environment. In this way you are becoming somewhat omnipotent, but it can put some strain on your mental abilities. You get a sense of being "taller" than everyone else as you break free from your own sphere. Now at last you can observe people as they really are, either as menacing, shy, anxious, pre-occupied, etc. This of course can provide you with hours of enjoyment and entertainment.


So the next time you feel like laying down on the train tracks and calling it a day, think to yourself, I could be watching people's sphere's instead!
