Well, yesterday, I was thinking about one book in particular that has always bothered me, "The Stranger" by Albert Camus. Someone had highlighted all the colors, reddish scabs, brown bodies, wispy yellow, blue skies, etc. I thought it was strange and a little creepy because they also highlighted all the words like blood, breasts, and underlined sentences about smacking women around, and killing someone. I decided to google "colors and Camus" and I found out that colors were employed by Camus to reflect Meursault's thought process and his emotions.
I did not know that.
word association & the discordant mind...
certain parts of the mind when searching for meaning & reason seek to assimilate context.
that is one reason the bible is written in the way it is.
it allows people to abstract words or phrases and attach all sorts of different meanings to them.
much like dog whistle politics has pre determined context and variant subcontext.
body language is similar in group behaviour.
there are base languages that the mind is pre-coded with or trained through nurture and basic social interaction.
thus people in different states of development attach to varying groups of emotive context.
framing such in various manners allows context inside otherwise unrelated meaning to a mind in a certain state.
not soo much as subliminal more soo basic core emotional discordia entertaining self assertion of symbolic determination.
