It seems that the potential origin of April fools and how it came about is tied to calendars. And the changing of them in fact, as one might a guard, but this was apparently around the time of the change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian one we use now. Where they changed new year to be from 25th March, to the 1st of January. It is said that European towns would have a holiday thereafter, with the new year starting on the 1st April. And after that time of change, it seems it may have become a thing to ridicule people who did not want to, or would not adopt ‘the new way’.
But that’s OK, because they seemed to use that good old tool of humiliation and public mockery, all in jest of course. But to make a fool of people who remained on the old system, gradually making everyone conform to a time. And it’s a ‘tradition’ that we still have today, but I hadn’t really given it thought over the years, instead just blindly following society with pre-set dates you must adhere to, but under the guise of ‘fun and celebration’ and for various reasons. But really they all now seem part of either a conditioning project, or a commercial enterprise, which in itself has always been a conditioning project to make us buy things. But there is very little gimmick attached to April Fools, no real merchandise I’m aware of other than some jokey things, and it’s only half a day, so not much is really put into it. Yet it remains, to laugh at the easily fooled, the gullible and naive. Or is it still there as a reminder, to not go against the grain for fear of humiliation, that for hundreds of years it could be immortalised as a ‘tradition’. And to bring out the slightly mean-spirited people who like to poke fun at, or make fun of others, to give them free reign with no recourse? Perhaps.
But it must have been quite a destabilising thing to do. When we are led to believe that not everyone was even running on the same time in neighbouring towns, but time, days and times of year get shifted. Almost a bigger version perhaps of them messing with the clocks twice a year. And lots of the world doesn’t, so you realise even today, with all our synchronised clocks and technology, many are running on different time. As people do personally as well to a shared clock. But some countries even run on a different year altogether, in Nepal for example its the year 2080 on their Nepali Patro calendar.
There are 5 countries in all that haven’t taken on the Gregorian calendar it seems, Afghanistan and Iran, use the Solar Hijri calendar and its the year 1368. Ethiopia and Eritrea use the Ethiopian calendar in which it is 7 years behind, so they are technically in 2015. And Nepal as above. Strange isn’t it, that although taking part in shared calendar, still keeping your own time. I like it. And time is a very strange thing how they’ve divided it all up around the world as well as our days into time zones, sometime changing a number of times across one landmass or country. It’s mad really, flying or travelling into tomorrow, or yesterday, and by way of jetlag we deal with it although that is a strange feeling, as is the concept. We all just accept it though for what it is, and through what we are taught or learn, but I can’t help thinking it’s not quite as it seems…
They are coming along. Season three for one of my cherries, and second season for what I think are more cherries and a plum tree. And first season for an apple tree.
I also saved an elderberry sprout which has established this year and looks healthy despite being overrun with aphids last year (as was the cherry). Those little ants really get on it with farming them, but despite looking weary at the end of last year, they’ve come back strong so far. It’s looking quite fruity in the garden too with the redcurrent, blueberry, gooseberry, loganberry and strawberry, although I misplaced the logan berry and it’s been overtaken by the buddleia. Maybe the little branch I planted last year will come through. We’ll see…
A healthy person just going about their lives appears to make very little money for ‘the corporation’ as it goes. It would appear that the vast amounts of money they make from us is carefully engineered to be that way, by means of shopping and Consumerism, food and pharmaceuticals, addictions and interests. Employment, education, finance and healthcare. Those four are where they ended up getting us all in place, captured by one arm if we happened to escape another.
People having turmoil or confusion in their lives, helps any one of those things take hold. So just like the ’emergency’ that was created to usher in a new way, so it was before this. They ushered in categories and standards, to measure and test everyone by, to then decide if you were productive in their scheme of industry. And by productive, i don’t just mean ‘a good worker’ or someone that pays their taxes and contributes. I used to think that’s what it meant. But now I realise they have used so many sections of society for so long, we all get used for purpose when needed. And if we start to group, or notice the play, they shake things up and destabilise the foundations of society, or at least for that group who is becoming a problem to them.
Black Wall Street was a power move I believe for this type of thing, a community getting their shit together and growing, looking as if they could compete. Oh look, taken down in a terrible display of power. Anyone who tried to better things, either for their own community or a wider focus, gets taken out. Either by way of elimination, being discredited or publicaly destroyed, and sometimes just by way of threats, or possibly an offer of joining the juggernaut that seeks to dominate. Some will have a price I’m sure they can be bought for.
If you weren’t already aware though, the business model being put forward for the future, where we are the end user, is pharmaceuticals. An industry that has grown to be worth an eye watering amount of money, but is wholly dependent on you and me, and everyone else being pumped full of chemicals that they decide we need to have. To make them more money, and to keep people on a hook, dangling and waiting for their next hit. A temporary illness and problem doesn’t give them any stability or overall control, it’s a small amount of your life they get to be involved in. Unless, of course, they could find a way to make sure you got sick and unwell, to guarantee they would have a customer base and continued market. And then, if they could find an extra way to make sure you required all those drugs and prescriptions on a daily basis, just to have a ‘normal life’, well, that would be the holy grail for them surely?
Because in that long term state of illness and slow decline, they have built another industry to ‘look after you’ within that, which unfortunately now seems to be just a cover for a rather slick harvesting program. Of your life, time, assets and health, and they then get to have your body parts after if they so chose to keep experimenting on you after death and using that for other purposes. It’s truly horrific what goes on within that whole set up, and now we realise, in the outer reaches of it too. Hospitals, care homes, orphanages and social care, schools, charities and other methods to get people. And yes, this may sound paranoid On the face of it but with everything that is going on I will go with the idea that it is not whether you are paranoid, but whether you are paranoid enough. But to have ultimate control, they go through the children, and always have. And why they were probably always so against the gypsy folk in this country, who seemed to have no need of being ‘in the system’, and now I can see why. It starts with the birth certificate, to get your children registered, and of course the census, another crafty way to update the doomsday database.
But once you have the birth registered, how do you get to keep tabs on that family and child? A system of school and education, which is then offered free, and deemed necessary for society to attend. Laws created to make it so, punishable by fines and even prison for breaking them. Then they offered free money to people, just for having them, you know to help with the upkeep and maintenance costs (of which they get to decide). Child benefit then meant nearly all births would be registered as people thought the government was ‘just trying to help’. But when you realise they engineered most of the conditions people found themselves in, by way of dodgy landlords and landowners, making sure they bought all the land, owned all the houses and kept people in poverty – sound familiar? Then they swoop in and make it look like they want to help, by introducing lots of laws and regulations, to sort out the housing and the nutrition and the health of the more unfortunate in society. I could be talking about now, but I am not. I’m talking about Victorian England, literally same shit, different day. And has been said before, the only difference between now and then is we don’t wear top hats anymore.
Yet you can see how easy it is for the people pulling the strings, to always make sure the board tips in their favour. People are easy to fool it would appear, with very little thought going into the motive and intention of someone or something. But people are their cash cow and without people to tie into these systems, they don’t exist and can’t function or create the endless steams of money they require to dominate the commercial world. That’s why they don’t like small holdings, or family units, or communities, as they pose a small, but potential threat to the machine that requires something to feed off. They need energy and attention, as well as your physical allegiance, so will try any and all methods to make that so, by way of technology, laws, restrictions, ideals and propaganda. And as adults, we must accept that we have been through that system ourselves and been labelled, categorised, numbered and processed through their ‘society’, so they can medicate us, educate us and then harvest us – whether that be organs, time, data, assets, taxes or whatever else we are deemed good for in their human ant farm.
And each successive generation that breeds, and registers its offspring, is continuing to feed the machine, with a new tighter regimented structure than before. Of digital registration, implants and monitoring, to make sure you don’t go astray, or have other ideas outside of their ‘vision’ for your life. While they claim to embrace individualism, they seek to eliminate it but use it as a weapon or shield when needed to further their cause, but like everyone else along the way, their cause or thoughts mean nothing to them and are a convenient tool who will be Thrown Under The Bus when it has run its course.
Water is undoubtedly an important component of our lives. We require it to survive and depend upon it for growing, it surrounds our land masses and is contained and falls from the sky in the form of clouds and rain. But it also features in a number of things to do with our past mythology and folklore.
Underworld – in general, the underworld is a heavy feature in most cultures and mythology somewhere along the line. Also the basis for many a book, film and idea. Depicted as either Hell, or a functioning world of the dead, or as a controlling force to the ‘topside’.
Water portals – Mayans believed that water was a portal, to the underworld which they called Xibalba, and they say that they left offering within cenotes as these were the gateways to that realm. I am also reminded of the stargate in the film Stargate, where once activated, looked to be a shimmery water type substance, which incidently led them to a place rather like ancient Egypt (a good film actually if you haven’t watched it).
Egyptian – To me the Egyptians were the masters of the dead for the longest time, their underworld being called Duat. They mummified their remains and held them in great ceremony (so we are told), and had a language and book of the dead, cities of the dead and so on. Almost making you think they had created an Underworld, but above ground. Or maybe it was that the veil between the worlds was really quite thin there, and it was a strange mix of realms, giving rise to the animal and bird headed people shown in the multitude of painting and statues they have.
River Styx – this is from ancient Greek mythology, where the souls of the dead are ferried onward, the river being the border between earth and the underworld. A watery pathway or entrance again, appearing time and time again. Obviously it could just be coincidence, and because water is such a mystical force, we try to understand it, or give it extra purpose and meaning. Or, there might be something to it.
And a small complete sidenote, I sometimes think about Australia being referred to as ‘Down Under’, maybe nothing but still lingers in my mind.
I’ll chuck in a movie reference here, as aside from the inanity and strange overall plot in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, there was a part when they were trapped on the calm ocean, and had to turn the ship upside down to get out of it. Down is up, and it was activated by sundown. That bit seemed relevant, but only when I put it in the bigger scheme of what might be down there without you even knowing. But it also made me think, how you would know if you were in the right ‘Up’ if it has been flipped upside down? I’ll also mention Stranger Things here as I have done before, as that storyline heavily features the ‘Upside Down’, where there is a dimensional tear, which seems to allow something through, but also people end up becoming part of that world without realising as such. Which is fine in the TV series, because they give it a dark overlay, and creepy atmospheric fog or snowy mist and there is no-one else there, very much revealing you are somewhere else. But it made think, what if it didn’t have the creepy overlay to show you, and it did look just the ‘normal world’ still. Same people, same places and things to do, and on the face of it, there isn’t a terrifying creature you know is hunting you down, so you don’t know to be afraid. But what if, that just how it looks…
I watched an interesting vid on YouTube from a channel I just started following called The Why Files. This particular subject matter being about voice recordings and revealing hidden messages when played backwards. Not just your regular variety of vinyl music played backwards to let you hear a ‘satantic message’ that was supposedly hidden in there, but a more revealing version of the overall technique, applied to cassette recording initially, and does throw up some interesting thoughts from it. Apparently, this was only discovered, as the video explains, by accident when a tape recorder was dropped, and it reversed the playing mechanism. And what it seems to reveal, is that there are other words being said backwards, at the same time as someone is talking forwards. They say it is the truth being exposed in a lie, and when you watch it, you’ll know what I mean. But it led to thoughts, as it always does.
Reverse recording exposure of words – as mentioned above, it’s the exposure of what is apparently being said within normal words that was interesting. Politicians and people who were involved in historical ‘events’ have recordings played, and the backwards bit when played forwards ends up sounding like, ‘it’s a lie’ or things like ‘it’s fake’ – apparently showing that there is a truth being revealed by the subconscious that cannot be truly hidden, and it finds its way out. Maybe that’s the real meaning of the saying, ‘The Truth Will Out’.
Twin peaks – If you’ve seen it, you may know what I am referring to within in. The strange ‘dream sequences’ that Agent Cooper had, with the little man and aged Laura Palmer. Where they only spoke backwards, but not in the same way as the reverse recording. They were speaking forwards, but backwards. And oddly, the whole premise was meant to be that truthful cryptic information were being presented to help solve the case filled with lies and deceit in the ‘real world’. I’m not sure I am explaining what I mean properly here as the whole thing surrounding Twin Peaks is a bit weird and crosses into many a subject. Hopefully if you are familiar with it, you can get the gist.
EVP – Electronic Voice Phenomena, known and used in many a paranormal investigation and ghost hunt these days, and that’s where I first heard about it and ‘saw it’ in action. Where you start recording in a haunted room (or any room to be honest), and either just let it run and record by itself alone, or people ask questions to the empty room with a view of communication with the ‘entity’. Then, when they play it back, often there are voices or talking that can be heard. Occasionally there is a very creepy growly voice on them, which sounds quite freakish and weird. But because it is on TV, and edited, you can never be sure if they are set up, or actually real. But as I like to, I will give it thought as if it is.
Which also brings me round to the actual title of the article, imprinting. There is the theory that everything that occurs, has an energy signature, in fact everything is energy and is interacting with and bouncing off everything else, constantly. But when something occurs that sort of tears the space time fabric, or creates a shock wave of energy – like with a horrific crime, a terrible murder, a battle or tragic event where there is loss, and the grief is great. Could that possibly leave something in its wake, imprinting on the fabric of time, turning into what would be called Echoes in time. Something so terrible that it stays and replays over and over, doomed to be on a loop in time, but not always visible to us on the light and energy spectrum available to our eyes and mind. But a certain energy was created by its action, and in turn creates something else, we just don’t know what that is.
Being on a repeated loop however, only explains some recording, or visions or apparitions’ people have observed. A really good film called The Lady in White (1998) has a good visual representation of that kind of theory, and I’m sure many a ghost story has. The other types of recording however, are not as easily explained. Because they don’t repeat as such, words are spoken as if in real time, and interaction occurs, leading to the idea that there is a conscious entity out there, rather than an energy imprint. Is it that perhaps an imprint can ‘evolve’ to become and entity if it is given enough energy? Or do things start as entities when the force that created them was of a concentrated and particularly sinister or wilful nature? I do wonder.
And if they are able to communicate through the medium of voice recording being imprinted onto tape, is it really the subconscious telling the ‘truth’ in the original backwards tapes? Or is it something else talking over them, or through them, revealing what is being hidden in what we know as real time. But just as we might refer to the watchers, or an overseer, or God being omnipotent, maybe it’s because we know we are being watched, listened to and recorded outside of the technological system that calls itself society. And maybe that is just cashing in on the fact we can feel the other side, and know that everything you do, say and think is being monitored by an outside force and creates its own energy. We may never know what is really going on ‘behind the scenes’ as it were, but at least if you can start to work out where one scene ends and the other begins, we might stand a chance…
Spring in now underway, even though the weather is choppy and changeable, the plants are just getting on, as we all do.
Things starting to poke through, not all identifiable yet, but clearly things I thought had died off for good, didn’t. And some flowers I let the seeds fall for are doing their thing. Calendula coming back, blueberries starting to bud and the rosemary bush is getting ready to flower. So tasty salads to come in the near future.
It’s looking good so far. The elderberry plant now looks established after being a scrawny stow away found growing round the side, so we’ll how that goes this year. Some seeds went out yesterday for a few things, fingers crossed for those, and some seeding is planned. Time to get on 🌿
Clocks – we call the front of a clock a face, because it tells the Time, as does our faces they say. Showing the passage of time in our skin, well for some anyway, maybe not for all if it is true that there are others who walk among us. But behind the face of time, is the truth that we are slaves to it, and are bound by it.
Infiltrating faces – AI and its present set up, seems to be partly about messing with people’s faces and perceptions of themselves and other people. Filters are how it started, seeming innocuous at first, just a bit of fun and a way to see yourself how you might want to be. Now being creepier with technology to remould your face from a bunch of other faces, with the computer deciding your ‘perfect’ face for you. And an extra layer of creepy with people now starting to be aware that the systems are generating entirely fabricated faces, sometimes being used as a representation of a ‘real person’. They call them AI generated or enhanced when the computer makes them up, then call them fake or edited when people do it.
Silence of the lambs – seems like an odd one to throw in maybe, but I thought of it for two reasons. Firstly, the fact that although quite happy with his identity, Hannibal Lector wore someone else’s face to escape. And for Buffalo Bill, who wasn’t happy with his identity or face, wanting to project the face he wished to have, by way of a frightening home-made skin suit, if you aren’t familiar with the film.
Wolf in sheep’s clothing – a camouflage, to blend in. Imitate to infiltrate has been used for many a purpose, and if there is a nefarious agenda, usually any tactic is a possibility. Hiding your true nature, behind a facade of something else. So more a metaphor rather than the previous reference, where they literally wore a different face. Probably more in line with Face of a clown – a masked reality.
I have mentioned it before, and we all know that as humans we learn much by looking, and faces are something that give us a wide range of cues, information and sometimes warnings. All those different ways we communicate before we even need to use verbal language, aren’t just based on the face obviously, but that ties much of it together. Which is why many people were and are against the wearing of face masks in everyday life for no substantiated reason. Because it hampers development, communication and perceptions, which have very real consequences. Communication and the ability to understand people, comprehend situations, meanings and concepts is important. Individually and for the purpose of a cohesive society. Once that starts to become stunted and a problem, other problems soon follow. Even when you are speaking the same language, there are often different meanings and intentions behind things that seem on the ‘same wavelength’ but time or circumstance reveals they aren’t quite as you thought. And sometimes you might even be on the same page temporarily, but in a different book completely in the bigger scheme of things.
With all of the above taking place though, it’s now more important than ever to know who you and who you are interacting with and learning from, in real life and online. Because just as manipulative people in real life know what to do to work on your weaknesses and exploit your vulnerabilities, so do the online crew. Whether it be people or AI, it’s all running to a motive and method, just remember that…
