Sometimes you see a recipe, and it keeps popping into mind. This one also kept popping back up on YouTube, so was a good reminder. And today I just happened to have all the ingredients and thought why not. I made up my own measurements as I went along, and if you want other combinations, check out youtube as there are many variations.
Cucumber and green cabbage diced as the base salad.
For the dressing –
Handful of parsley or basil (or both)
1 avocado
Clove of garlic
A few nuts (I used almonds)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Spoon of houmous
A tap of chili flakes
Half a lime squeezed
1 tbls of maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Blend and you now have a delicious dressing for the cabbage and cucumber. Pour over and completely mix through, then enjoy with whatever you like 😋
It may be nothing, just atmosphere, clouds and the ‘jet stream’. With set flight paths, weather and the odd anomaly. Seems pretty average doesn’t it. Until you start to delve a bit. My article Cities in the sky, looked at some accounts of cities being viewed above us, for hours sometimes and in great detail.
There are apparently sculptures and carvings that depict flying machines going back as far as ancient civilisations. Before we are meant to have even had the idea for some of them. As well as a well-documented event noted as a sky battle over Nuremburg in the 1500s.
“According to the broadsheet, around dawn on 14 April 1561, “many men and women” of Nuremberg saw what the broadsheet describes as an aerial battle “out of the sun”, followed by the appearance of a large black triangular object and exhausted combattant spheres falling to earth in clouds of smoke. The broadsheet claims that witnesses observed hundreds of spheres, cylinders, and other odd-shaped objects that moved erratically overhead.“
So, what if all the recent geoengineering above us, which various governments have now admitted to, which they do to manipulate and encourage The weather, is actually to hide something. And not the sun as they hint at. Although that serves a purpose too, making people think you have enough power to control something like that. When really it could just be they have figured out the cycle when things appear a certain way, and that could be taken advantage of. Like the Mayan mystics ‘predicting’ the eclipses which we are then told made people worship them.
What is being hidden from us though, is still questionable. And whatever it is perhaps that will give them maximum control is what will be presented. But whether it will be believed or not is another matter. Just as people may not believe it if they did actually see a floating city above them. Would they put that down to a certain project name as well?
We are in an age of lies, so it’s tricky trying to find the truth, or work through what you think are facts when in reality you don’t know. I don’t think that’s entirely by accident, and where instinct plays a part and needs to shine through all the murky waters that surround it.
When there is a gateway or crossover, either dimensional, or metaphysical or imaginary. They say that all screen are portals, TV’s, computers, cameras, mirrors etc. That they all are a window to something we cannot see with our limited viewing capabilities, but often we can sense it. And they say the eyes are the portals to the soul, a viewing mechanism, but does it only work one way? When you think the mirror is looking back at you, not the reflection, but the actual mirror. Is that just a feeling we create, is it because we know about two-way mirrors? Or is it something else, that we can feel something just beyond our view, but we can’t see it. I’ll mention a few movies that may have added to my thoughts on this, they all have a strange aspect to them, but quite varied in genres.
The Ring – although there was an entire movie, I’m sure the bit that stayed with me perhaps stayed with a great many people. The well, and the crawling out of the television. Horror stepping through into this realm.
Pleasantville – a good film that took me years to get round to watching, but it was enjoyable. Where you become part of the show being watched.
Nightmare on Elm Street – tripped out scene in the 4th or 5th film, when the realities between what’s on the screen and in the room start to blend. But obviously the whole premise of the films was that there was a portal between being asleep and awake, and that something could come and get you. I guess that crosses over into my article Doors of the mind, which I now realise should have had these films noted as reference too.
Tron – Where they get sucked into the computer game, and have to work it all out to survive. Fighting against a corporation, main computer or power source.
Jumanji – an updated version of Tron perhaps, where they are also sucked into the game and have to complete a set of trials and tasks to survive and get back to the ‘real world’.
Last action hero – not one I have actually seen, but believe they also come out of the television, rather than someone going in.
Batman Forever – the Riddler character in this one, having a genius idea of a machine, that interacts between peoples mental energy and televisions, harvesting the information, knowledge, thoughts and ideas from people.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – Mike TV. The kid that gets transported to inside the television. A rather sinister film all round so not a surprise to have this concept in it.
So, while there are many theories about our existence, it is of course entirely possible that we are a hologram, a simulation, a construct, a signal, a dream. Or that perhaps we are stuck in the levels of hell as in Dante’s Inferno, and we are just running upon a doomed cycle with no escape, which is why we seek it so. But whatever our origin and ultimate purpose, we find that we are here and now, taking part in this current version of reality we have created for ourselves and each other, or have allowed to be created for us. So, maybe just for a moment, like Alice stepping through the looking glass, or Coralinecrawling through into the alternate world, we should step outside of where we think we are, and step towards where we would like to be…
It was a disappointing event and view left after as below. To some It may just appear as more ‘incompetence’, but mark my words, this is strategic and coordinated. Its just a few trees they say, a bit of countryside here and there they say. With lovely drawings and blueprints of a utopic society living happily in this new structured way. Except we bever get to the bit where its realised. They take the money, ruin the landscape, then say ‘oh no, we can’t continue, oh no something changed or went wrong. And you are left with no money, a ruined landscape which takes decades to regrow, and a much crappier existence than before.
This is what happened. And it might just seem like one small area, and just a few trees (over 100 mature trees!) But this is indicative of what they want everywhere. Devastating to the wildlife that would have been preparing for spring, and to the local residents who didn’t want this. Which is why it was done under the cover of darkness, swift and deliberate. So there could be no Opposition.
Plymouth
Can’t have trees in the way of cameras, microphones, signals and surveillance. A stark skyline is what they seem to like and are shooting for. Open and monitored, like a farm, where you can watch your cattle and keep them in their allotted areas or zones as we are being encouraged to call them. They call them 15-minute cities, which to me seems like a concept like School, but bigger. And following on from my other article Something new, but maybe not improved.
Trees create a network of nature, over our heads and beneath our feet. They provide ecosystems for a variety of organisms, insects, animals and plant life. They help to cool and provide shade, to provide oxygen, soak up CO2, help with water drainage and land stability, can provide food in abundance and self-seed. People perhaps underestimate the importance of them and what they do. And how damaging it is to keep removing them from our daily lives and routine. A concrete soulless wasteland is what seems to remain after, so we find ourselves fighting for nature as much as we seem to be fighting for ourselves…
This is about heads. The idea of which came from seeing a picture of disused abandoned large heads, with a creepy feeling to it. Although as we know, photographs can make it seem that way, and in person it may just feel like an old field with old discarded things around. But junk yards and things left to waste away do seem to create a certain vibe, to me anyway.
Presidents head park, Virginia is the one I saw as below, and got me thinking to all the other heads we have in various forms.
Wizard of Oz sequel (Return to Oz) – this one stands out to me as beyond creepy, and did at the time I first watched it. A very dark film really overall, but the villainous character in that called Princess Mombi, had a room of interchangeable real heads. Of beautiful women from the realm that had been decapitated and their heads then carefully stored in a room of glass fronted cabinets, reanimated with magic powder so she could be a different face and head when she wanted.
Statue busts – we like to make just the heads often for decorative and creative purposes. There are many scattered throughout the world from various times and places, made from different materials and techniques. We like to recreate what we see, whether that be with our eyes or our imagination.
Shrunken heads – keeping heads but the small version. Almost like a strange combination of the two above, not quite skilled enough to recreate one, so will just steal one. But without the opulent storage facility of a cabinet room to display them, maybe shrinking them down to fit in your pocket was a bold fashion move of it’s day. We’ll never know.
Tower of London heads on spikes / Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) – We mostly hear of vlad the impaler when it comes to heads on spikes and the shocking way in which that story is told. But for me, the first thought is of closer to home and the Tower of London, which was also known to display the heads of executed people. As a warning and grim reminder of the ‘rules’ I guess. Also read recently that it turns out our monarch is a direct descendent of Vlad Dracul. Fancy that.
Olmec heads – rather large statues, again of just heads. Whether they ever had bodies is possibly debated, but they stand out for their features and quality.
Hydra – Not quite in the same vein as the others, as it had a body and multiple heads, but the focus for that is still the heads. Cut one off and another takes its place. Suddenly makes me thinking of having to remove or destroy a zombies head in fictional scenarios, always the head.
Medusa – another slightly odd placed one, because again she had a body. But it was the head that had special powers, with her hair of snakes and eyes that bore you to stone. And it was her head being removed from its body that was necessary, yet it retained its power. And to again mention zombies, I read a part of the storyline for The Walking Dead the other day as chose not to watch any of it, and it seems that removing the head doesn’t end them, as a character remained in the series, as a zombified head on a spike, still ‘undead’, so it kind of fits here too.
And in a movie or storyline here and there, they have hinted at the idea of having a disembodied head surviving independent of the body, cheating time and nature. We have stories and myths of headless horseman and various ghosts of that type, and a history of decapitations, hangings, throat cuttings and all sorts of gruesome ways to end the connection between the body and the mind. But that’s in a physical sense, maybe these days they are going for the same result, but in a more subtle and insidious way through technology and promises of immortality, wanting to download you into a system that will keep you ‘alive forever’. That saying again from Rudyard Kipling seems apt here –
“If you can keep your head when all about you, Are losing theirs and blaming it on you…”
