This one sort of crosses into A Portal and Television, but this one is for mirrors, what we think they are, and how they have weaved themselves into tales and stories of dark things on the other side. They appear as a tool for vanity, as it was a reflection that captured narcissus, his own reflection in water. So, to think that we have made a tool specifically for viewing yourself and your appearance is a strange one. Although we are brought up to believe it’s so we are presentable to society and who may view us, rather than our own feeling towards the reflection. But it isn’t just for the sake of society, is it? Some people are drawn more than others to what they see, or would like to see, and is it perhaps that while we are looking in to them, there could be something looking back? Some random references here for this idea, from fictional ideas, films and something that is apparently real.

The Mirror of Erised (Harry Potter) – A strange mirror that showed the viewer their hearts desire, fixating them on watching what they want, rather than actually having it. A lesson in wasting your life watching what could have been, or what will never be.

Candyman (1992) – A really good watch at the time, focusing on their being an urban legend of looking in a mirror at night, and saying Candyman 5 times. Then he appears and kills you, or generally bad shit goes down. I’m sure there are many people who tried it after the film, in the same way that people would open the puzzle box from Hellraiser if they had just watched it, and found one. That again was a type of portal, activated by want and desire interestingly.

Coraline (2009) – the film itself has an alternate world, and appears to be simulated, but within that there was mirror she was thrown into for ‘safekeeping’. A dark, creepy cell hidden behind a mirror – wonder how many of those there are in real life. But the mirror was a portal separated from the simulated world, so was a part of the world in a world in a world. Made me wonder about our mirrors, and if they do connect to another type of world, where we can be viewed but not interfered with. Maybe.

The Matrix (1999) – in the first film and the latest one, when he takes the pill and starts to turn metallic after touching the mirror, sort of merging with it. Giving the idea that we can merge with the ‘alternate reality’ given the right conditions, even if those conditions don’t quite exist yet.

Fairy Tales – The Magic Mirror. A slave entity trapped in a mirror is how it looked in the story, being the voice of truth, with no motive or biased it seemed. Invoking a great deal of jealousy, fear, hatred and murderous actions.

Black Mirror – TV series of strange dystopian scenarios, many of which people have said are ‘mirroring’ what then occurs. So are they helping to create it, prepping people, or just observing a clear line of development? Strangely, there is also a black mirror that pops up in history, art, literature, ideas and so on. A black mirror, and a black sun – funnily enough look very similar when you look at them.

Chronovisor – a viewing tool apparently held by the Vatican, which can view past events. A portal of sorts I guess, and like I wondered above, while someone is viewing that past, could it be that someone from that past could be viewing in return?

As with most things they encourage people to have, and get used to, it could just be a product for industry and a handy tool when it comes to presentation. Or, could it be something else? An opening or portal into each location they are placed, accessing every person’s home and energy when they transfer thoughts towards it. Harnessing, harvesting or amplifying it perhaps. Sounds outrageous I know, but these days given all that is occurring, you just don’t know…

Viewed as a product, a commercial commodity of value in the scheme of society. And we always sort of knew that really, as we are told to contribute, pay into the pot, don’t be a ‘burden to society’. That’s changed up a bit, with handouts galore to the people running the show and the gate crashers. Not so much for the people who booked in advance, paid for the ticket, waited in line, and played the game as it was set. Initially though, the conditioning was clear, be part of the system or be excluded and left behind. Turns out it’s a bit more complicated and sinister than that, but doesn’t change the commodity part.

And if you start to view yourself as ‘they’ appear to, people are walking skills and talent, and potential profits. Only for that it would seem, and many are used along the way, for purpose, propaganda, and profit. Within all sorts of industries. But as soon as you are registered as a legal entity, I believe that is where it starts, you being given a number and essentially a barcode to follow you through life, keeping tabs on your contributions. Now it is levelling up a bit, with them wanting your full profit and loss essentially, with carbon credits and social credit scores seemingly more like analysing the bottom line. How much are you bringing in? How much are you costing? Already discussed from a certain angle in What Are We Worth? and the overall monitoring system for it in The Ministry of Monitoring. It’s all rather sinister, how it is, how it has been, and how ‘they’ portray it is going to be.

My article The Mark of the Beast also looked at the idea of us now being a product, put to a different service that we were originally conditioned for. But I missed the point, that we were already tied in, already having a barcode placed upon us – that social security number linking you to taxes, earnings, benefits, and ultimately ‘the system’. One that has been scanning us in a manual way for generations, using, analysing and inputting our data to where it was needed, and now it is being computerised as with everything else. And it’s now all about energy – they’ve spent years harvesting our time, money, talents and experiences with very little control over the input we have towards ourselves. Only limiting and restricting output, having gatekeepers to decide access, and levels to work through to get ‘up there’ or be considered successful. With the new systems that are being proposed, it sounds as if you will need to be monitored 24/7. While you sleep to make sure you don’t waste energy, once you wake, how many times you breath for your Co2 monitor, how many times you blink so they know how many adverts they can expose you to without missing your attention. How many calories you will be allowed, and what those will be from, how much liquid you can consume, and all other aspects of your life. Who you meet, what you are allowed to say, where you are allowed to travel, if you are allowed to breed, and so on.

There are quite invasive and sinister plans being discussed and proposed by corporations and institutions, of a certain future they would like, and work towards. Like a business having a remodel, getting rid of some old systems, some old staff that won’t adapt or aren’t what they want anymore, and bringing in new policies and changes. I can see why there might be confusion though, because for decades now many have just done as they were told, and played the game as they were meant to, knowing no different and seeing no different. But now we do know different, and can see there is a very dark and unyielding plan afoot, we must we wary and alert, it seems change is coming…
