She kept staring at the stroboscopic light like in a trance

Her mind wandered light years away like she was in another universe

What was she thinking, what was her mind seeking, they wondered

Was the hypnosis working? Will the secrets be unlocked by this experiment

Will they find the right wavelength to unlock the hidden thoughts?

The light kept blinking off and on, and she kept staring at it like in a trance

Me In You

i’d love to have a stroboscopic device so i can measure how your heart works
for no single piece of electrocardiogram device could calculate
the massive amount of love you have for a daughter like me.

i am not every mother’s dream for her little girl to be
i don’t like barbie dolls or being dolled up myself
i’d rather be where there lies a pile of newspapers to read
i’d rather be hypnotized by what it has to say ’bout the world we live in.

and that’s okay, ‘cos i am with you curled up against the pile
of newspapers, in a trance, as we struggle to decipher all of the crossword puzzles
papa, i’m okay without barbie dolls and princess gowns
as long as you’re with me in our perfect wavelength of entrainment.

i’d love to have a stroboscopic device so i can measure how…

You can choose to do any of the following.

• Choose at least two words from the below word cloud in your piece.

Or use the theme and/or words in any other manner you like.

Hypnotic Methods

There is useful stroboscopic form in repeated lies.
A designed hypnosis on those who seek to ‘belong’.
That propagandized system breeds allies.
There is useful stroboscopic form in repeated lies.
Who believes tales oft recycled is unwise.
Too few will e’er admit when they are wrong.
There is useful stroboscopic form in repeated lies.
A designed hypnosis on those who seek to ‘belong’.

Word clouds are supposed to be great for visualizing unstructured text data and getting insights on trends and patterns.  When I see wavelength, stroboscopic, hypnosis, trance and entrainment grouped together, it makes me think about psychology.  Psychology is the mental process involved with thinking about thoughts, manipulating information, forming concepts, engaging in problem solving, reasoning things out so we can make decisions, and this act of thinking ends up producing more thoughts.  The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength, so waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength.  The human eye is only able to detect light wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers, and this is what we refer to as visible light.  We are not able to see things with shorter or longer wavelengths, so we can’t see radio, infrared, ultraviolet, X-ray, or gamma-rays, which are all around us.  A man must know his…

in a dubious trance
feeling the same wavelength
indoctrination

The trailer is scary enough, but to really get a better understanding of indoctrination, you can watch the movie on Amazon Prime, YouTube, Google Play, Vudu, Apple TV or Sling TV.

A new way to watch television, going on brain wavelength, and companies like Sky, and Virgin taken over. Entertrainment they called it. Training your brain to be immersed in a world so perfect, what was going on outside mattered little.

In a trance like state, you could stream all your favourite shows, even walk with extinct creatures if you wanted to. Wildlife programs were always popular. A trip to Africa. Certainly sir, madam. All you need is three hundred credits and the world is yours.

Strobscopic, the company you could also work for, making components for the machines, readily used in homes across the world. Nobody knew who invented this new device, but being part of your own entertainment, enlightening.

Chelsea could remember a time, when she was in her thirties, going to the supermarket, buying her shopping. Driving her car into the country – of course…
