Analysis of Disillusionment
Jamie Tierney 1991 (Cardiff)
To see through illusion, comprehend coded language,
Language carries signals, destroy inner eye blockage,
Signals transmit information or instructions, between parties,
Only aware of their roles, glimpse into memories.
Patterns,
Symbols, Images, Colours,
Gestures, Movements, Numbers.
The universe is a communication system,
Your physical body is a cellular communication system,
The majority of signals go unseen and unheard,
They are programmed – automatic – subconscious,
They are without thought.
