Flipped

Normal problems are being labelled as mental illness when what appears to be real mental illness is being heralded as ‘normal’. It’s causing quite a stir as you would imagine. The lunatics are running the asylum as the saying goes, but quite literally in this case. And this is where you might feel a bit like Alice did, falling into a topsy turvy world where up is down, backwards is forwards and left is right, nothing making sense while at the same time making perfect sense. It could also be likened to the character of Sarah in the Labyrinth, with twists and turns, a strange deadline and demonic distractions leading you into someone else’s odd perverted game.

Where reality as you knew it, gets flipped and turned on its head and what isn’t becomes what is, and what is becomes what was. And really is a bit more than just having the rug pulled out from under you, it’s actually like having the whole damn floor removed and everything underfoot. With the added concern that anywhere you then go to place your feet, is whipped away as quick as you can settle, as is meant to happen. Being grounded and rooted is not on the cards for the future it would seem. Trying to dislodge and disconnect reason, logic, nostalgia and familiarity in all its forms, and replace it with a loopy and sinister ever changing and interrupted existence. I don’t know about you, but so far, it’s looking more haphazard than anything we have ever witnessed, with a streamlined digital society seeming more far off now than it ever has. Which is odd in a way, because before the ‘pandemic’ was rolled out, it looked as though it would have been far easier to get everyone on digital if they had really wanted that. Systems were slowly being tied in, they could have gradually implemented it for travel, money, education and lastly for health.

But it would seem to me, and many others, that it was never about digital, or I.D on their own, there was something else they wanted. Which is why I can fully understand why people may think something was in the jab, the insistence on everyone having it, the systems they then wanted for it, the possible Bluetooth ID’s of people etc. And even now, when it should be a slam dunk that it has been an economically and medically catastrophic decision which has caused untold harm and misery on millions of people. But it seems the wheels of corruption move on at pace, continuing the destruction and treachery, for their 30 pieces of silver one must presume. Because when it all goes to shit, the people who helped to pave the way, will have been promised something surely, to make them be the good little middle men and women, believing they are safe, and like the special pets of the ringmaster. Why else would someone saw off the branch when they are standing on it? It may well be that the numbers are so gradual for losses, and with all the people replacements happening, there will be no ‘moment people realise’. Statistics and data are now so corrupted and people have been so saturated with them, they probably don’t represent the real picture anyway. You won’t see them disappear; they will just be someone else. Like in Dark City when they inject new memories and personalities into people, just a seamless changeover of lives to carry on with a new task and purpose.

Just as the population grew, infrastructure was needed and people to maintain it. If they want to eliminate this phase of the experiment, or let it run through to what many suspect is the goal and conclusion, there won’t be the need for such an elaborate infrastructure. And it makes me wonder if that is what happened before, when we find what we say are old abandoned cities, or civilisations. Speculating on what is left behind, not quite realising that they too, may have been instructed to ‘dig their own graves’ too and destroy everything around them. I think of Dark City again here, as part of the opener of the film was about the fact that they made the doctor destroy his own memories, so they could use him as a doctor, but so that he would not be a threat with any knowledge of the past. And they do say, knowledge is power, and seems to be so very important in the play unfolding currently, what was, what is, and what shall come to pass…

Rocking The Boat

Another of those classic sayings, in its varying forms. But the main one being ‘don’t rock the boat, especially if you are in it’, which most are probably familiar with. And if you have ever been one of those people who have indeed rocked the boat, what happens thereafter may have given you a different view of the saying. Because once you have rocked that boat, you begin to see who benefits from that boat staying steady and stable, and being told not to rock it insinuating that you are a problem that will disrupt the smooth sailing of life and that steady heading.

But we aren’t all going the same way or with the same purpose, and you may end up finding yourself in the same vessel as someone else anyway, and when it isn’t working, it seems wholly appropriate to rock the boat, or just jump out of it altogether. They have another little saying too to help hold people back and imagine how bad it will be ‘out of the frying pan, and into the fire’. At first they seem like useful sayings, to give you wisdom and understanding of situations, but as with much they then can get used as a tool by some to give hesitancy to people or to interrupt their thoughts and ideas, with ‘words of advice’.

And that’s where you realise that life is like a boat for this analogy, for each of us, and sometimes you step into or you get pulled into someone else’s boat because they need the ballast, or company, or have a use for you that you aren’t aware of yet, and they need you to stay in their boat. So, will do what it takes to make sure you stay in there, telling you there are sharks, no land, only that boat, no other routes etc. All sorts of sayings, ideas, worries and anxieties to make you dread the thought of ever leaving that boat and being in your own.

There are also the other occasions where it is in fact necessary to rock it, throw people out of yours and perhaps capsize it altogether depending on what circumstance may befall you. Where some people will take whatever action and consequence is necessary to adjust their position on the ‘boat’. And what if it starts sinking all around you, like I have mentioned in Poseidon Adventure, but this would be further along, where there is no longer a boat, but what remains are the shocked inhabitants who can’t believe it’s not there anymore. And even when it may appear you are sailing on calm waters, or drifting along in life just being you, completely unaware that something may be just about to take that boat from under you…
