Switched Off

This is a follow on piece of sorts to More Than Pain gets Killed, which looked at the idea of people on high doses of strong medications, may be missing out on the ability to process feelings and emotions. And any medication really can have an effect, so it should be considered, just as alcohol would be. Something that many people use to dull their emotions or avoid experiencing things in what we might call a sober manner. Many have their vices and mother’s little helper as it used to be referred to.

Anxiety is another one that came to mind that seems to be widely assessed as needing medicating these days, at a time in your life when you are clearly having a struggle and feeling apprehensive, or worried, or fearful for something real happening in your life. To then think that certain people go ahead and prescribe them, and then the struggling person takes the mind altering-drugs to try and deal with that, thinking it will solve the problem. Or at least maybe allieviate it. Yet, in my mind, you have split the problem and created two for yourself. Firstly, you aren’t dealing with the situation, you are needing assistance with it, from a faceless compound who will just ‘help’ you and not expect anything from you. So, not experiencing and learning from the feelings, the natural feelings that are often there to signal to you, that something isn’t quite right. Or you aren’t quite ready yet, or you don’t know enough, or you are just nervous. And if you aren’t able to differentiate between those feelings or understand they have different name, or stressors, or how they developed, they why would dampening your emotions and feelings help with that? Secondly, when faced with a similar problem or entirely new one in the future, which triggers those same feelings or slightly new ones, what happens then? Does your brain have any reference point for when it coped before? Does it know that certain feelings are entirely appropriate in certain situations and shouldn’t, in fact, be switched off or inhibited? And maybe the brain remembers what it did before and goes to the doctor for the same method of ‘coping’ as before.

It’s not just medication, though, that can help to distract or distort a reality that is sometimes quite needed to give you the tools to understand yourself and the real world. But having a multitude of various forms of escapism isn’t turning out to be healthy at all, people choosing preset characters, constructed worlds, sanitised interactions in place of real stimulation and experience. Because for some, they don’t seem to be able to assimilate real things and real people happening in real time, with the expectation of things being able to be paused, reset, done again or wanting to fully control the interaction. With a complete emotional collapse often following if something doesn’t go how they expected it to or wanted it to.

Where expectation meets reality, and many a disappointment can be had, depending on how you set yourself up in the first place. But it seems many can’t deal with the feelings that go along with disappointment, which is why it is perhaps so incredibly important to teach children how to understand feelings and emotions. To give them the language and understanding skills for them to able to process them. And hopefully, that can at least set people in good stead to go forward in life and perhaps be a little more prepared for what may come. Life is weird enough as it is, but in these strange and crazy times, being able to deal with things and keep your head really does seem quite important…

What Separates Us?

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

Colour has been used to separate us in society and be weaponised as a point of divide, in fact, that seems a rather arbitrary difference to focus on, but as it’s one we can instantly access, it does feature in our conditioning. Ideals, traditions, culture, language, education, knowledge, and personality all vary from people to people. Making the world a far more interesting place than it would be if we were all the same, like those little boxes we once sung about.

But the growing issue of what is known as multiculturism is cause for concern from many quarters. The mass importation of unknown people’s being strategically placed for maximum disruption has raised more than just eyebrows. And the problem gets distorted, and becomes the old xenophobic argument of ‘go home’ and ‘you’re not British’ etc. Some of us are only three generations away from immigrants, so I’m not sure how ‘British’ many people really are, or what scale they are using to determine what qualifies anyone in that. And once you have enough people from a differing viewpoint, doesn’t that then change the current viewpoint of the majority to then be the prevailing attitude? How long did it take us to become what we are today referring to as ‘our way of life’?

I was brought up to be accepting of other cultures and people, and judge them on their character, actions and heart, not by the colour of their skin. But as you get old you start to realise that isn’t actually how it works in the real world. I attended mostly white schools growing up, but my mother spent some childhood years in Africa, and married someone of Pakistani descent in the UK when I was a child, so we didn’t have an average household set up. My first proper lesson in racism came thereafter, because he was in the armed forces and was refused promotion because of his colour. My teachers couldn’t seem to pronounce my surname correctly because it was foreign, even after they were told, and it wasn’t a hard one either. But it was noticeable to me, that we were treated differently just by extension, so I started to understand there was a problem. Witnessed in a different way when I worked in south London in a factory for a few weeks a long time ago. A very odd feeling going on in there with half of the staff being white and English, and the other half being Indian, and none of them mixed. At all. Apart from the weird racist banter now and again – but while on the line, the Indian women would speak Punjabi, and at lunch time they would sit together and talk. And because I was white, it was expected that I would sit with the same colour as me and go along with it all. I did not last there for very long, as it was just too weird, but again, showed me just how separated people wanted to be sometimes. On both sides.

The problem of integration isn’t a new one, and is not colour specific at all, and you really can’t force it. When I moved to Spain for a couple of years, I hadn’t quite comprehended how much the ‘English’ group together, and stick to what they know. And if you don’t speak the language (which I don’t), then you end up being a bit of a fish out of water, even though the locals are as helpful as they possibly can be, it must be quite an imposition to have to deal with us. Just as we have to deal with others. But tourism was the golden ticket to make people put up with it and encourage it, having people from elsewhere constantly passing through, turning up and being around, and you would make money from that imposition. But this new drive of people movement is breaking down so many things and destabilising what was already in place and working. Employment, housing, education, health, tourism and travel, all things that have been gradually eroded and replaced by ideas and ideals of no-one having anything, everyone being everywhere and no-one being allowed to do anything. Everyone is being used against each other, weaknesses and vulnerabilities exploited and opportunism being exposed and utilised to maximum effect.

No wonder people are getting fed up and frustrated (and that’s putting it mildly), because no-one can plan, get on or move on – instead being held in a strange state of limbo, holding your breath and waiting. For the next law, the next rule and regulation, the next stupid idea to bankrupt your present and future, and to completely corrupt what is. And all for… what exactly?

Switching It Up

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

They say that certain frequencies are being used against us, that there is a battle commencing which we cannot see or hear, but we can feel it. And if you do read the info, propaganda, or conspiracy theories, then to a point you can see and hear it, or at least the idea. So, as the idea goes, towers have been installed to upgrade the system, where we have steadily gone up in grade and now we reach level 5. For phones and communication, for faster internet and systems, or so it is said.

Now there is an alternate theory, that they have in fact been recalibrated by the ‘good guys’ to be a more harmonic frequency and more in line with what suits our natural rhythm. Explaining somewhat why it might be that we seem more aggressive and confused as a species over the last century, because we are having our signals interfered with to make us more inclined towards that behaviour. As there is an agitation and trigger system working so subtly, you don’t even notice, well, almost. That all seems quite standard on the face of it, you work out that something can control or influence people which they can’t detect, so it gets authorised for use.

And after such a long time, could it be that certain brains actually do rewire themselves to fit the new frequency, rather than fight it, or that rewiring takes more than just time and environment. It required medications and conditioning, systematic environments clad with amplifiers of those frequencies, but once it’s switched over, it then requires it to keep functioning and maintain what it now knows as ‘stable’? So, you would have the population ‘wired’ to operate at different frequencies, maybe that’s a reason some people seem so alien in their thought processes or reasoning. Could just be they are part of the automated process already, like ants and bees who have no choice in their function, they just do what they are meant to, for the good of The Hive.

And perhaps that’s really why creativity was off the charts in the previous time, because our minds were tuned to what we might call the ‘correct harmonics’, and we were more open to the world of ideas and less inclined towards the world of war. It could be more than that, as speculated in my article At The Flick of A Switch, where things have now infiltrated the human body and will act as an extra conductor or amplifier for other types of signals. An interesting idea was put forward about bones having a certain resonating frequency, and that all the catacombs have churches and cathedrals built over then, often with a huge organ installed. Drawing people in and creating an energy perhaps, as discussed in Church of Death, but now factoring in more bodies and bones that even I could have imagined. It is all mere theory at this point, why it’s all really needed and how to ‘catch’ everyone in some way, working out how it all ties in and creates that world wide web they wanted, and into the net we go…

Off With Their Head

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

Such a memorable line from Alice In Wonderland, when the deception is revealed. Off with her head, after white became red. But headless things feature much through folklore and Fairy Tales. Headless horseman, Creepy Heads, removable Heads and so on.

But this idea is for something slightly more real, or so I thought. I have written already about the Paris catacombs in One Thing Leads to Another, but have recently seen more footage of the tunnels. The ones that aren’t so neatly stacked and designed, just piles of bones filling up tunnels. It’s quite awful. And odd that they say around 6 million people make up all those bones, predating the time when that number was put forward around the first world war. And then wheeled out again for the second one.

Clearly, these people aren’t part of The Missing Dead, as we have them, albeit some of them in a state of jumbled confusion. I wondered though how it was that Paris came to be the dumping ground for so many bodies. Apparently, overflowing cemeteries and such were the reason and an expanding city.

But the reason my thoughts ended up back in the catacombs of Paris, wasn’t my usual route. I hadn’t realised that Madam Tussaud was a real person, so had a read. Reading that she took to wax works of heads (as we all know), and was specifically known for doing full body version of the revolutionists and the royalty who lost their heads. So, I wondered if perhaps, given how we are subject to much propaganda now, and the idea of a faux head to convince you. A dummy in place of the real thing, using the same special effects we use today, just of their time. A shocking public spectacle of royalty losing their head, or did they? It gets noted as a great revolution and of justice, like much they want you to think. Like in my article Guess Who, where we think we have seen something but the stage was set, actors placed and our eyes deceived us.

I don’t doubt that many deaths did occur, and they estimate that up to 40,000 lost their lives in various ways throughout The Reign of Terror and the revolution. Followed, we are told by the Napoleonic wars and much more upheaval for France. That dark and grisly end left for the future to lay witness to, millions of people who once walked the earth like you or I, now left In The Old Underground…

Pyrite

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

It seems we have an abundant supply of raw materials in the form of minerials, forming a wonderful array of substances we can then convert into other things. Nature and time working together on some very spectaular projects. One of my favourites, probably because like many people, seeing and learning of it as a child captivated me. Known as Fool’s Gold so of course, you see it and think it’s gold, but when I learnt it wasn’t real and just nature creating a ‘mock’ version, the special feeling I got when I looked at it didn’t go away. So, although it’s value may not be high in monetary terms, what it is still has value to me. And in practical terms it is used to make batteries, radio receivers, and paper they say in industry, so is of some value in the commercial world.

It turns out though, there are a number of different types of pyrite, which I didn’t know until I started researching for this piece, and interestingly, most of them do not occur in overlapping regions. Apart from one it seems, Russia. That lists two of the know types, but all the others appear to be geographically very specific. The main types are –

Sun disk pryite – only found in the US, specfically only in the region of Illinois.

Rainbow pyrite – only found in Russia

Octahedral pyrite – this is found in Peru, Mexico, Ontario and Canada.

Pyrite iron cross twins – found in Germany, Italy, Slovenia and Colombia.

Pyrite nodules – forming over millions of years, found in China, Russia, Turkey, Wales and chalk cliffs.

Pyritised Ammonite – only seems to be found in the UK, at Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Stonebarrow. I have actually been to Charmouth myself fossil hunting a number of years ago, and found quite a few which I have to say, was super exciting. The picture below is one of my finds that day.

It’s another of those interesting things that geology throws up or we ‘discover’ it, and then we take it further to uncover what it is, work out how it formed and ultimately, what we can turn it into.
