When you look at the sky, feel the wind and ask what is it, why everything is dark and what are those shiny spots. In lot of questions, our gateway is an eye and what it records, transmit to brain depends not only on the screen, horizon or width of information but also what can our brain comprehend, acknowledge and stored as past experience and intelligence. When a magician or an illusionist performs a trick in front of our eyes and functional brain, we get surprised and our brain could not explain what and how it happened. As soon as trick is discovered, then surprise element goes away and magician or illusionist starts to loose audience. He might try to understand audience by making it very happy or very angry to see what audience do in order to improve his tricks. Further, inventing more subtle tricks where you might feel that you are doing it or it is happening according to you as you want and in the background, magician or illusionist is performing another trick and when both tricks come together then again you get surprised. Such cycle of engagement goes on until all the tricks are discovered and then after continued lose of audience, there will be an honest set of audience which will go with open mind and will see the tricks as entertainment only. Such audience do not draw conclusion from the tricks and it will not get engaged personally to have an impact on itself. Why, because it distinguishes normal run of life with tricks designed by a magician or an illusionist with sole aim of earning money. Impression and playing with core desires and interests can nurture both construction and destruction. As long as a magic trick remains entertainment, it fulfills desire of both parties but when it becomes more than entertainment and starts to replace real life then it will lead to slavery. Technology can as well be regarded as a trick as it as well produces a certain result after manipulating or working out something in the background. A trick or a technology does not hit emotionally to a conscious person, it is always the intention of the performer or magician or illusionist which has a certain goal or target, hit emotionally to a conscious person. In the short run, tricks or technology could look very rosy but the dimension of time and gravity decide the fate of collective consciousness in the long run.
