A reading of my article – Are You not Entertained?

That dysfunctional societal model that is being pushed, and day by day they scramble for the contracts, laws and regulations to make it so. The Ministry of Monitoring getting ready to be legally involved in your most intimate online communications and daily routines. Like they weren’t already, but now it’s out there for everyone to see and be aware of. That’s what they meant by transparency, not so you get to know about or stop wrongdoings and know what all levels of society are doing. And by exposing the worst of it, helps to encourage people to call for their own censorship and monitoring. Perhaps thinking that for the sake of stopping the bad, we all have to be monitored and give up freedoms.

It meant they would be transparent about taking away your rights, and that you no longer have a say in anything corporate or democratic. Knowingly allowing them to take them away because they told you it was for ‘the greater good’. And to be honest, it kind of looks now that it was all an illusion of democracy and freedom that was in place. Where they led us all down a merry path, and hardly anyone noticed the twists and turns blindsiding and distracting us until we find ourselves here. A dead end of war, greed and ideological wants.

An almost startling breakdown of what once was has occurred in what appears to be a very short time span, and those who used to appear to serve the public, very clearly no longer do. I find it strange that while showing they are no longer competent, they continue to wield power. When you all know someone has no authority or power in real life, but everyone pretends and perpetuates the delusion. I can see very much why people likened it all in the beginning to The Emperor’s New Clothes.

And this is why perhaps stories, Fairy Tales and other sayings and metaphors stay with us through generations and centuries. To remind those who face strange, perilous, dark and unsavoury times or people, that others have been there too. In a situation of their time of course, but the general threads of observations and realisations sometimes are not time specific. Being relatable even after hundreds of years, because the general greed of tyranny and the power hungry enslavers, is also timeless and runs seamlessly through the ages. Until now. It seems as though the seams are splitting as they try and pull it together, and the whole ugly bag is looking like its going to collapse and disintegrate. And of course, I have already wondered how much of the ‘entertainment and propaganda’ over the decades is there to help program you towards their goal in Prepped for Disaster, or Clever Programming? But that is a double edged speculation of course, because while it may be they create the mental landscape required for a certain level of acceptance. It can be used to create a hesitancy and fear against something which ultimately may be good, steering you away from the ideas of advancement, because you think it means enslavement.

But whatever the methods and techniques used to achieve the sleeping masses for decades, you can’t deny it seemed to work. Slowly infiltrating each aspect of people’s lives, being part of your life ‘from cradle to grave’ as they put it. Doesn’t sound so friendly, helpful and benign anymore does it now? Not once you know how much money you can generate for ‘the system’ throughout that journey, covered in What Are We Worth? Being able to educate, feed and heal yourself means they are not involved, at all, hence why we seem to now have a staggering amount of rules and laws to limit people’s ability to be outside of that system. All the institutions are there to take away responsibility from you, and to then be responsible for you in whichever way they see fit. And you can see if you look around, how many people are still looking to someone or something for guidance, as they have been trained to – even still not quite being able to fully extract themselves from thinking they are there to help. Expectations need to be updated, and quickly, because what was no longer is and a new way is coming. It’s just looking a bit precarious of what that might actually be.

Currently we are led to believe that ‘they’ are trying to herd us into confined areas and ‘smart cities’. Designed to keep us controlled within a controlled environment, taxing us per breath and movement in the not-so-distant future. Being an obsessive and stalky parent type jailor, but with a vampirish overtone, constantly wanting you to volunteer and comply of your own accord. Handing yourself and your bloodline over for sacrifice. Leading to there then being separate worlds within the world, which to a point we already have. Certain countries not entirely open to the whole world, countries that had previously been shut off or restricted as we are told. And there is even speculation if you follow the crater earth / bigger earth theory, that there is more land than we have been told about, so could be countless other ‘countries’ or lands. Operating alongside us to a certain degree, but just as unaware as we are. And if you think out a bit further, it could easily be speculated that if we are in a contained environment as with the firmament idea or as a globe in a larger universe, then we are just a world within a world anyway.

And as an extra layer, we are often said to have our own world’s going on in our heads as well, again being a world within a world, but a separated and detached one from outside. So far, your thoughts and ideas and processes in mind are hidden from external view, and still seem to be quite the mystery, yet we function adequately. Perhaps we are also disconnected from something else too, something external to us and where we are. I sometimes give thought to what Oppenheimer said about being the destroyer of worlds, as many have, wondering what was truly meant by it. And what world was destroyed if any, ours? Another world? Or perhaps it was a connection to something that was broken, leading us down a dark path. Although, it is entirely possible we were always on that dark path and have been prone to what we call the ‘human condition’ for the longest time.

There is another idea though, I guess I touched upon in The Bit In Between and Cities in the Sky. Of the idea that there are different levels, or realms perhaps above and below us, that we are between worlds of sorts. Maybe that’s why we have stories of purgatory, feeling as though we are trapped between the living and dead somewhat, and maybe we are. The ‘dead’ underneath us, and a different level of ‘alive’ above, perhaps. The Underworld and Heaven becoming the mythological fantasy versions of them, but maybe they started as other stories of wonderous cities in the sky, and terrifying caverns down below. Each with their own lifeforms and histories, just as we have in ours. Yet somewhere along the line, they became intermingled, possibly a catastrophe engulfed or affected all three and the ‘borders’ became somewhat blurred for a time, or things that were never meant to be seen became visible. Giving rise to new theories, ideas and speculations, just as we have these days. Or of course, it could just be that we as humans are merely at the mercy of our imaginations and our ability for deception, both towards other people and ourselves, makes it easy for our minds to find their way to mischief. But you never know, it may be within madness and mischief we find the answer, so I believe I shall keep looking…

Immortalised by way of a photograph, or recording to look back on. A snapshot in time that can be kept as it is, in stasis and forever as it was. I wonder how many have been haunted by their past self, even just in memory and not in a physical recreation, as we are led to believe, aging is a cross to bear. Many tales and stories are about chasing youth, or trying to evade what we are told is a natural process, while at the same time as being told it is a disease. So curable? Or inescapable? For a darker look at the fictional ideas we have surrounding immortals, my article More like us than we would like cover that.

Many are now being subjected to it on a strange and ongoing basis though, being forced to see your past image, or events by way of technology. Moments and memories captured in time, which seemed like a good idea at first, sort of. But when they get uploaded to the internet and can be copied, reproduced, shared, stored, bought up at any time, I realised it might do something else other than just invoke a pleasant memory. because as time went on, things change, people grow up, move on or pass away, as do our pets. If you chose one day to ‘take a trip down memory lane’ and look through photos or remember things, that seems fairly normal to me and part of either accepting change, or indulging nostalgia. Which in itself can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on where it takes your feelings. Many will know you may intend to just have a little think about something that was good, but it can turn itself into a sad thought out of nowhere, or meander into another and take a new tangent. So, with electronic reminders all the time, and the ability to skim back through what perhaps should be left behind, does this contribute to people getting stuck? Maybe with not being able to process change mentally and move on, because there is now a more physical way to sort of keep it ‘alive’ despite the reality of it not being there anymore? If that makes sense.

And I also wonder if having repeated exposure to memories and events is a good thing too. In the media world people are mostly agreed it is for programming and propaganda, to manipulate people’s views and ideals, to sway political outcomes and wants. But for the average person, what affect is it having on them to have their own life often replayed to them, by them and others. The ones who have grown up in the world of being able to record every moment, and now create your own TV shows with them. Even before the recent news stories of popular social media influencers seriously affecting and abusing their children, I had suspected that many who don’t even realise they are being affected will notice it down the line. The ones who are directly involved, and the ones watching and taking the advice of these ‘influencers’, whether they are what appears to be average people, or celebrities, it allows something crafted and scripted into your life, and often really isn’t what it seems. The drive for attention, views, likes and constant validation does appear to be a sickness once you are taken by it, and people will use whatever means necessary to get it thereafter. Vanity and ego I believe plays a starring role there, becoming so consumed by what you think you are, and then self-perception props it up for however long it is allowed to run its course. And technology is just an easy way to facilitate something that we already knew was a weakness for some, and for others a distraction or lure. Makes me think of that mirror of Erised in the HP series, where it showed you your greatest desire and people wasted their lives looking into the mirror…
