A Christmas Fireplace – article reshare

“This is one of those strange ones, of what should perhaps be festive thoughts and ideas, but which took a rather dark turn. Thinking of times past, and how once people used to decorate a tree at Christmas to ward off evil spirits, only since the 1600’s they say, it can’t really be traced to before then. Leading me to thoughts of fireplaces…” – A Christmas Fireplace

A resharing of my article – A Christmas Fireplace as it’s that time of year.

A Disturbed Mentality

It can’t have escaped peoples attention of late, the shocking rise in reported crime stats from around the UK and Europe. Sexual crimes against girls and women are going through the roof, with surely more to be added to the number when you factor in unreported incidents. Something to Consider looked at an angle of it from our island, and the decades of grooming gangs and cover-ups surrounding it that are still rumbling on. But it seems it is also embedded within most branches of the establishment as well, being further facilitated by allowing all and sundry to come and go as they please, by almost rewarding it in some cases. Safeguarding and protection are two things that pave the way nicely for what they claim to fight against, like for your safety and health didn’t quite turn out to be as it was, neither is that.

Clearly the mentality of some people is more than just slightly dysfunctional, now getting beyond what we could call an anomaly, or a rare event. It has become a systematic implantation of a problem, to then cause a reaction and consequence. But I can’t help to wonder about how that problem came to be, was it just a ‘normal’ evolution of populations, religions and centuries of suppression finally spilling over? We have seen how Social Status has been used to engineer things, but a more civilised version we are led to believe, conditioning out and punishing the unacceptable we are told, creating a safer, more harmonious environment and society. With those of a sordid and deviant mindset having to slink in the shadows, or find opportunity in not such bright corner of society and that ‘dark web’ they wanted you so very aware of.

And while it is easy to say it’s suppression, religion, lack of education and so on, with good evidential basis for that, I can’t help thinking it’s more than that. Maybe because I believe that people are responsible for their own actions, but those actions that can heavily influenced or instigated by others. So, blame can be apportioned to both, not shifted from one to the other. But I thought of a film when running through this in my mind, one I have mentioned many times, and I suspected was a reveal on many levels, The Island. In particular Sean Bean’s character Dr Merrick, who while casually discussing the ‘programming’ for the clones, reveals their idea behind it. That they only educate them to the level of a fifteen-year-old, and they aren’t ‘imprinted’ with a knowledge of sex as it makes them easier to control.

In an underground base setting such as that, where you want to grow and harvest these unknowing subjects, then you can see how that mindset might serve that purpose well. Making sure the ‘product’ is not distracted or harmed until such time as they are required. Simple. However, because we appear to be in such an inverted time, and the theory is they are always doing some kind of reveal or Show and Tell in movies, the opposite thought occurred. What if you still only educated your subjects to the level of a young teenager, but instead of no knowledge of sex, you went the other way. Saturating their minds with it, overdosing them on it and imprinting them with a destructive and desperate confusion surrounding it. With natural impulses also playing their part, opportunism and looking to make A Prime Choice based on what that mentality believes and what society has deemed ‘acceptable’ at the current time. And what a very strange time that is turning out to be…

Choose Your Thoughts Wisely

It seems we as people have more control over our thoughts than maybe we would like to think. Or not to think, as the case may be. Where it is easier perhaps to believe that we are just passengers, beholden to a working mechanism that is toiling away in the background and reaching conclusions we pretend we are not party to. Just at the mercy of them and their consequences. An easy way to sidestep responsibility of thought or action, and although there is a certain level of subconscious workings that we are not fully aware of, there are also very clear and conscious processes we are aware of, and sometimes don’t always want to admit to. Where people can hide behind themselves, or get Stuck in Mind as they say, and will not step out of themselves for a moment to reflect.

But I always believed that thoughts start from somewhere, that they don’t ‘just appear’ as they seem to on occasion, and there is always A Train of Thought to an idea or belief. And like with trains, they have a starting point before meandering or speeding through various landscapes and terrain, picking up and dropping off characters until reaching the ‘station’ or conclusion. Just as a thought might until it terminates and is no longer relevant.

Do people give much thought to where their thoughts, motives, ideas and beliefs really come from? And where do they go? How they manoeuvre through your psyche, either taking hold and getting comfortable, or slipping through and dissolving into the beyond. And if they do take hold, how do they manifest? Are they out in the open to you and get to be explored freely? Or are they hidden in the back, festering and taking on a life of their own, not really being noted until triggered or brought forth by circumstance.

I try and articulate many of my thoughts and ideas, and sometimes how I believe they occurred, like in Be Mindful of the Labyrinth, talking of how we can capture ourselves sometimes in our own illusion. And of course, we can allow ourselves to be captured by someone else’s, often perhaps not quite aware of what we are doing or how to ‘know your own mind’ as one might say. Because as others sail along looking for ballast and crew for their Narciship, your thoughts and where they lead, are of utmost importance, because they can affect real life change if put into action. For better and for worse.

Because thoughts can create realities, as mentioned in Creating a Nightmare Reality, and that in society we as people are all going through life experience Separate Realities to one another. Where we converge in a shared version, where it appeared we were in a certain level of agreement on what we called ‘reality’. Not so much in agreement anymore though it seems, and perhaps some of the things that were just In Your Head, should well have stayed there. But even there they aren’t completely confined to that field, sometimes able to wander and influence from afar, because the power of thought should not be overlooked as we have seen it can be used to great effect. So, taking control of and being responsible for what is in mind seems paramount these days, remember, be mindful of your thoughts…
