Pay careful attention here. The manipulation of the sense of smell is being used
very deviously today to influence the outcomes of certain events/situations.
This manipulation is a very important piece of the "puzzle" I am putting
together in the blog.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Olfaction is also known as olfactics or smell. It refers to the sense of smell.
Note that there are many airborne poisons today that have no discernable odor.
Carbon Monoxide comes to mind. Carbon Monoxide is frequently
referred to as a "silent killer". There are many laws in place throughout
the land that require homes and apartments to have Carbon Monoxide
alarms/detectors.
"Gas" or "Cooking Gas" is also an odorless poison. The reason why "gas"
smells like "rotten eggs" is because that scent was added to gas. Gas emits
an odorless scent. The adding of that "rotten eggs" smell was done to protect
and alert people to any gas leaks.
I'd like to bring your attention a novel about scent that was written
in 1985.
I'm quoting Wikipedia here:
"Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a 1985 literary historical cross-genre novel (originally published in German as Das Parfum) by German writer Patrick Süskind. The novel explores the sense of scent, and its relationship with the emotional meaning that scents may carry."
This novel was adapted to a recent Hollywood movie of the same name. The movie
was released in 2006 and featured famous actor Dustin Hoffman.
Wikipedia describes the novel as follows:
"Born lacking a personal odour (a fact other people find disquieting) but endowed with an incomparable sense of smell, he apprentices himself to a perfumer and becomes obsessed with procuring the perfect scent that will make him fully human. In the process, he creates perfumes—presumably based on pheromones—that powerfully manipulate human emotions, murdering 25 girls to take their scent.
The book features detailed descriptions of the techniques of scent extraction such as maceration and enfleurage.
Note: The subject in the novel was portrayed as not "fully human". The character believes
the body odor is a natural characteristic of human beings.
The character doesn't see body odor as something to "hide" with a perfume. He sees body odor as desirable.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Next Example:
The late rock star, Kurt Cobain wrote a song entitled "Scentless Apprentice" for Nirvana's
1993 album "In Utero".
The song was based on the story of the novel that I've described above.
Wikipedia also features the following:
"In a 1993 MuchMusic interview, Cobain claimed that his copy of Perfume almost never left his pocket. Cobain said he related to Grenouille's alienation.
Cobain also related to Grenouille's fascination with odor. "I’m really interested in smells," he revealed in a 1993 Spin interview. "I think I’d like to own a perfumerie someday."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Why are so many of our Artists considered "geniuses" and "ahead of their time"?
Do famous artists like Cobain connect with so many people because they Prophesize?
I'll note that the dictionary definition of Prophecy is the following:
"To predict with assurance on the basis of mystic knowledge".
I'd also like to note that the "scientists" who performed the physics experiments
in 1982 that were theorized by "Eugene Howard Golub" came to some interesting
conclusions that we'll discuss in the future.
I'll note one conclusion they came to:
They claimed to have proof that certain theories that were considered to be
"Paranormal" like the concept of "Telekinesis" did indeed really exist in our world.
They had proof of the existence of "Telekinesis". However, their description of
it did not match the way it is described in American popular culture.
But back to the notion of "Prophecy".
In this blog, I've a noted earlier in this blog that some folks believe that the "science fiction" writer and author known as Philip K. Dick saw himself as a sort of prophet at certain times in his life. One of Philip K. Dick's novels is believed to have documented a "vision" he had. The novel is called "The Cosmic Puppets". Philip K. Dick doubted himself in a very big way. In fact, he doubted himself so much that he proclaimed his "Cosmic Puppets" novel to be is most purely fictional work.
Right now, many Philip K. Dick fans see many of the troubling current events unfolding in the USA today were described in "The Cosmic Puppets".
I've read many interpretations of "Cosmic Puppets" and I do see many parallels to what is happening in our world today. In my opinion, the contents of "Cosmic Puppets" are not specific enough as to reveal what many of us ask ourselves: "What is going to happen next"?
Before I go any further, I'd like to note the odd title and cover illustration of the Nirvana album, "In Utereo".
The album cover features something called:
This is the Wikipedia description:
"A Transparent Anatomical Mannaquin or TAM is a three-dimensional, transparent model of a human being, created for medical instructional purposes. The first TAM was created by designer Richard Rush in 1968. It consisted of a see-through reproduction of a female human body, with various organs being wired so specific body systems would light up on command, on cue with a pre-recorded educational presentation."
I'd also note here the title of Nirvana's biggest hit; "SMELLS Like Teen Spirit".
A couple of notes to make at this time:
Please also note that during their lifetimes, both Philip K. Dick and Kurt Cobain were labeled as "mentally ill" persons in need of medication. Modern medicine used terms like "Paranoid Schizophrenic" and "Bi-Polar Disorder" to describe them.
I'd also like to note something I've mentioned in previous blog entries. I've discovered
a pattern of Hollywood moguls who've apparently been tipped off with inside information on specific technological advancements and the plans for their use in the not too distant future.
I'll note again that I believe that Hollywood has apparently used this "inside information" to create blockbuster movies. These hugely popular movies are praised by fans who describe them as being "Futuristic"- something much different than "Science Fiction".
Anyway I don't believe Kurt Cobain was tipped off to any technological advancements in the
manipulation of the "sense of smell". Cobain was as Anti-Authoritarian as they come.
However, Cobain did believe that in the near future, "Scents" would not be only manufactured as "deodorants" or "perfume". Cobain saw them being used as "Tools" to accomplish a task or to manipulate types of people. Types of people that he didn't like very much.
When the song and the music video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hit MTV
Cobain's believed that our Capitalist system was crudely manipulating youth with the material products such as the perfumed "Teen Spirit" deodorant.
Cobain saw himself as as "Social Outcast" of sorts. He saw his peers buying in to overt manipulation. And so he mocked them in with his song, "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
Kurt Cobain also liked to think of himself as a kindred spirit of the 1960's Leftist
"counterculture". The "counterculture" that was led by folks like:
"William Ayers"
Cobain also never imagined the huge Nirvana. would be. As Nirvana quickly
rose to legendary heights of monetary success, Cobain found himself becoming
increasingly distraught.
Kurt did not want to perform for and be adored by the people he had previously
mocked.
Cobain also considered himself to be an Anarchist. For example, in the MTV music video for
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" you can see the Cheerleaders wearing red shirts featuring the symbol of Anarchy- the letter A with a circle around it.
Not too long ago, Cobain's journals were published in mass market book format.
Several drafts of "Teen Spirit" show it to be a utopian vision of a cultural revolution led by
a "King & Queen" of the outcasted teens.
Note here that the "utopian vision of the cultural revolution" is a reference to Maosim.
I suspect Cobain's believed that olfactics was just as powerful as the sense of hearing. Perhaps even more so.
Cobain believed that scent had huge potential. I'm guessing that he saw "scents" evolving
in the future as "music" has evolved into various forms in history.
I'm also guessing that Cobain believed there would be future compositions of scent that would could be *more* potent than his most famous musical composition.
If Capitalism can manufacture SCENT into a trendy Deoderant product to be purchased by a gullible youth population, then it could also be created to be a sort of "Teen Revolution
Anthem".
I'm guessing that Cobain believed that "scent" could be used in the future to "ferment"
what he saw as a utopian cultural revolution led by the youth.
"Scent" could be used in the future to rouse and incite youth just like Rock music has in the past.
This induced agitation could provoke actions needed to achieve Maoist Revolution worldwide.
If music can incite a riot, then "scent" should be able to as well. Perhaps "scent" would produce a more powerful response in people than music ever did.
In the near future, this blog will look at recent scientific and biological achievements
in things referred to as "enzymatically controlled transformations of organic compounds"
Or specifically- developments in manufacturing "odorless" scents. Scents that when smelled, result in a physical and emotional reactions in people.
And since there can be subliminal imagery disguised within music, then scents can
be "disguised" as well.
