The World Got Smaller

Another of those sayings, that you don’t maybe give too much thought to initially, seeing it as it is. But when you look at it from a different perspective, obviously it changes, although the information remains the same. The world just got smaller, I thought this was in relation to travel and communication, and the new ease we found in modern society of getting somewhere quicker so it didn’t seem too far away or distant. Talking and communicating instantly, also changing how we view time and being able to interact with people. Seems like an obvious explanation to the mental adjustment to those things, the world is no longer so big you can’t get somewhere, well, now you can. So they say.

But, if I were to think on it from another angle, along the lines of a flat earth, round earth debate, I start to see other things that are useful for purpose of limiting ones thought process, closing off certain avenues of thought, or redirecting them towards what appears to be a plausible explanation. Because if we did think or know the ‘world’ was bigger, and there was more land as speculated and mentioned in So big They Don’t Notice and A World Within a World, then would we be content to stay within our ‘allocated area’? Probably not, and that’s where I thought of ways they might try to minimise people knowing, from asking questions, or keep them where they are, and to make sure certain stories and information got lost to time, or became myth or fiction.

Zeppelin airships – these are not myth or fiction, and it’s presumed they were taken out of circulation so commercial airplanes could dominate the market and skies. Of course, the official story is the disaster and it being a safety issue, and that could well be the case. But I wondered if perhaps those airships were or could have been capable of travelling further than planes with their restricted fuel levels, which may be like that for a reason. So the distance a pilot can travel is limited, to where they like them to travel, if you know what I mean.

Bermuda Triangle – this one has always been there in my lifetime, I couldn’t get enough of the strange and mysterious growing up, Unsolved Mysteries and things like that being a favourite. But not to just blithely believe these wild claims and quite outrageous ideas, but to give them thought and see if it could be explained in a logical and practical way. To consider the normal and ordinary before you explore the bizarre and alternative view. So, with this one, I thought the obvious as others may have, was it a magnetic anomaly? Is it a weather issue? Is it human interference? And yesterday I considered a different approach, while thinking of pilots and captains of ships, who might want to stray outside of the known and charted options. Because of course, a plane would have less options of being able to go that far, or land, or come back. But a ship could, and perhaps maybe that’s why some of them aren’t ever found, because they didn’t come back. Whether that’s because you can’t, you get lost along the way, or you don’t want to is another set of thoughts, but wouldn’t it be a really good way to explain what looks like mysterious disappearances. Not admit they were people trying to get out, get away or find more, but instead to run with the idea that there is an unexplainable ‘triangle’ that may or may not be doing something which affects ships and planes. Like I said, that really could be it, and they then get dragged into the deep trenches and lost that way as the theory goes.

Shipping lanes and flight paths – following on from the Bermuda Triangle idea, and the thought that pilots and captains are perhaps psychologically amongst the most adventurous and curious when it comes to these things. I figured they would be the most likely to stray into what appears to be uncharted territory, or decide to step out of the restricted flight paths and shipping lanes to explore. That seems to be something that doesn’t happen anymore, apparently we have discovered it all, know it all and have now shut it off from others saying ‘there’s nothing to see here’. And like I said, that could well be the case, and we have been everywhere, seen everything and now they just want to hold everyone in place in small areas within vast landmasses. But it seems like there should be more, that there is so much more, and all the borders, rules, barriers and separation is to keep people focused on where they are, and not thinking or looking over there. Believing it’s too far, there’s no land, we can’t get there, all the while the military ships and submarines go about their business quite undisturbed and unnoticed by us as we are herded into lanes and told where we can and can’t go.

If the world was bigger, and there was more of everything, I believe people would want to investigate and know of that more, they would adventure, they would be curious and move around more, as apparently we have done in the past. Because it makes you wonder how we discovered anything at all if we were like we are being forced to be today. But you can also see how that kind of person and thought process really wouldn’t work in this ridiculous time we find ourselves in, where for some weird reason and for a while now, some humans have gone rather mental with wanting to control and dominate other humans. To the point of clinical obsession and being implemented in the most destructive way possible, just so the fragile ego of want and desire can be fed. It seems so completely heartless and demented and is raging out of control itself, maybe that’s why perhaps some people find it easier to believe they are not human and it’s something else that restricts and control us. But that is another conversation, for now it seems we are being led down a very sinister path to be locked in a very small room of someone else’s choosing and for someone else’s purpose. Best we get on and see what we can do about that, it feels like the clock is ticking…

Halloween

Many things have been tipped upside down, turned inside out and become like the topsy turvy world that Alice became so familiar with after tumbling Down The Rabbit Hole. But Halloween is another of those things that has been inverted it seems, turning into what appears to be just a rather elaborate commercial enterprise. Or is it?

I’m sure that some if you know that it is the eve of what they called All Saints Day, obviously with saintly and religious meaning. But it goes back to Celtic pagans they say, where it was called Samhain and was a harvest festival to appreciate nature and the change in season. And the pre-celebration of bright costumes and bonfires was added later, to ward off evil spirits and ghosts it is said. Strange that we now dress as ‘the evil spirits’, isn’t it? Is it part of the ritual to bring them forth? Is it to trick them into thinking the demons are already here? Or is it that witches and apparitions were once here to protect us, and once they were gone, we have tried to mimic that to protect ourselves? Seems whatever its original purpose and meaning, it really has had a thorough makeover for commercial times and is for making money now. So, I would lean towards it being given the demonic overtones as a marketing angle, and to help bring in this new rather sinister landscape they want on show for society.

Many will have noticed that for a number of decades now that a demonic and sinister theme has slowly worked its way through all the forms of entertainment and media we are fed, and choose to consume. Music, news, television, films, fashion, literature and society generally has taken a dark turn, deciding to give everything a devilish overhaul. Making it seem super cool and sexy, carefully placing enticements and things in the mainstream to hook your interest. Glittery skulls, pagan symbols, clothes, accessories, artwork and movies to give you a visual to go with the concepts being put forward. Exposing minds to the dark side, luring them in with an offer of something, like in That’s The Ticket, but with witchery and spells instead of a golden ticket. Even trick or treating is about knocking on a door and asking for sweets, wanting the door opener to volunteer sweets to them, but even by opening the door you may have accepted the ‘contract’ in the form of the interaction. And if you don’t give them something, you are supposed to then play a trick, if you don’t get your treat. In my mind along the thought of that, maybe like a vampire knocking and wanting you to hand yourself over, when you say no, the trick is to return pretending to be something else, either dressed up or shapeshifter style. And then get invited in, so by the time you have opened the door and heard the words ‘Trick or Treat’ you are already lost. The real ‘trick’ is to not open the door.

But is it speculated that the date they have chosen for this All-Saints Eve, is the time of the year when the veil between worlds or dimensions is thinnest. That the dead or supernatural entities of other dimensions and realms are able to cross over into ours. And who knows, maybe there are times when we are closer to a gateway than we think, like two gateways passing each other at the correct moment and they are connected. A temporary bridge to another dimension, where it seems things are able to cross over to here, but does not seem as though we are as capable, and end up instead sensing something is different, but unable to locate it or pinpoint it, but we can feel it. Almost as if the air changes around you, and something that can’t be seen is present, like they say in the film Poltergeist ‘they’re here’…

A Ceremonial Revelation

Wow, where do you begin with something like this. So much to see if you are looking and have come to recognise the methods and symbolism at play. The numbering of this particular games being the 33rd, has not gone unnoticed. In fact, it seems rather relevant.

The light bringer – seems they might have borrowed one of the characters from Assassins Creed. A medieval knight’s templar to hand over the signal.

Satanism – it seems the dark and pagan theme running through Hollywood, the entertainment industries, politics, sport, and society overall is out there for everyone to see now. A very public display of debauchery and grotesqueness with a big old side helping of sinister. Likened to Sodom and Gomorrah and seems across the board has raised more than a few questions. With a general ghoulish theme continued with a decapitated head singing with flames and red featuring heavily. Very sporting like, don’t you think?

They also had a visual effect of a pale horse with rider running across the surface of the river water, which did seem like it might fit a certain quote from the bible. From the book of revelation, no less –

Revelations 6:8 “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”

Tower of Babel – the Eiffel Tower lit up with lasers, reminding me of the invention in Batman 3 by the Riddler. One to drain your mental energy and ideas. Also, it was likened to being the Tower of Babel, a ritual focus point for the ceremony. Making me think of The Main Arena for that and how much energy was gathered in that event.

The Last Supper – a very busted up representation of what appeared to be The Last Supper, with an array of misfits and oddities in the line-up. Ordinarily, I will always try to look for the artistic quality to something, even if it’s not my thing. But this didn’t appear artistic or creative in any way, although a great deal of thought probably did go into it. And it’s the intention behind that thought that seems to have shone through, with many viewing it as a religious mockery. And being honest, it did.

If you look back at the previous opening ceremonies, you’ll start to notice a weirdness and ritualistic enactment of things. At first, they appeared as things that have long since passed, of heroes and Kings and adventures of old. And then it seemed they were showing what was to come, as in Show and Tell, needing people to be part of it coming. And now it seems as though they are revealing where we are, or at least where they would like us to be, but it seems there might be hope out for a better world and future. Because if we keep on our projected path, it’s starting to feel like it might be about to get a whole lot darker…
