A Trail of Blood

There have been a couple of articles already speculating on the vampire legends and myths, They Are Vampires, But not As You Know It and More Like Us Than We Would Like. As well In The Old Underground for a glance at what appears to be evidence of rituals, alters and so many bones, it begs the question of what exactly was occurring for that to be ‘normal’.

And sometimes I wonder of time past based on what appears to be left behind, and there is always something extra creepy and dark that runs underneath. Literally. In tunnels and caves, deep underground and hidden from view, and from sunlight. Because behind the scripts, storylines and myths, I can’t help thinking that as with much, there is a thread of truth running through it, being distorted and watered down by fantastical elements and sensationalism. Or not, maybe they are just throwing it out there in all its ugly reality, but we choose not to believe it, finding it easier to deny its existence because that would mean you have to face it and ideally, deal with it. Maybe as others have had to before, who also get a mention in fictional settings, Van Helsing being the most famous in that category. Leaving a trail of blood rather than breadcrumbs to reveal that dark thread that would prefer to stay in the shadows, or just behind the scenes.

Blood Banks – They could just be for what they say they are, to help people who are in need after an accident or medical incident. Or, that could be the cover for the actual purpose, like a convenience store in every city for those who need it to survive, without bringing too much attention to yourself by just taking it off the street as it were. And there is much speculation about us being a food source, that we are farmed and kept as we are like animals for purpose. We can’t deny there is a devious and dark thread that runs through what we know as humans, but is there something else alongside that, taking advantage of that dark cover to hide in plain sight an even darker reality? Also, they are usually stocked with blood from people who have donated as far as I know, another twist on the vampire needing to be invited, you need to be a volunteer it seems, covered as well in That’s The Ticket.

Blood Types – I sometimes wonder if it is the blood types that reveal more than we know, that it can give away the ones who would be considered ‘prime stock’ and then graded thereafter. It might also reveal a crossover where there are hybrids, like the humans and angels idea which then created the Nephilim they say, what if we have other half-breeds and hybrids among us that we don’t recognise. Not Like Us might be relevant there.

Death Becomes Her (1992) – A film that portrayed a potion, a price and immortality, made into a colourful and entertaining movie. Showing how people will trade much for fame and beauty, but without always thinking through the consequences and often being taken by ego, lust and jealousy along the way. Making you wonder if some people who appeared to ‘go before their time’ were made to step back from view as in the film, or they weren’t playing the game they had signed up for, who knows.

Adrenochrome – something that appears very much linked to the overall idea of a vampire, that certain blood is more vibrant than others, and gives them that fountain of youth that pops up here and there in myth and folklore too. And if that were so, and an ancient race of blood-drinking ‘humans’ did co-exist with us, wouldn’t it be prudent for them to look after their food source as well as herd them towards what is needed? Encourage a steady supply of blood deposits for those banks, a steady supply of offspring to feed on and be the next generation of blood donors and breeders.

And it may seem weird that they would reveal what they are, and their methods along the way, but to me it does two things. People will naturally decide mostly that it really is too far-fetched to be real, imagining the classic vampire, sleeping in a coffin, living in a castle, scared of sunlight and garlic, and crosses and hallowed ground being their nemesis. Funny isn’t it that in churchyards they also use coffins to bury people, and have crypts underneath them. Maybe they are happier being within what we have called hallowed ground after all. But if a person did happen to meet one, or find themselves in the grips of that set up, then it would also be easier to adjust to it being real perhaps, as you have a reference point and some reasoning behind it. Or maybe they have tried to hide and stay out of the way, and it is others, who like Van Helsing, take on the role of exposing it and making sure people don’t forget. Our memories can be short, and if we are on a shorter clock than they are, I can see why we might need to be reminded…

Margaret or Jack?

The strange case of Margaret and Jack. One has a pleasant and calm demeanour, is chatty and doesn’t want to be a bother, and suffers from a brain seizure condition. And the other is challenging, sarcastic, defensive and does not have a brain issue. The scans of Margaret shows the brain irregularity that cause the seizures, Jack’s scan does not show any irregularities at all and was viewed as normal, despite him being decidedly obnoxious as a person.

Now, here’s the twist, and why I found this interesting. Margaret and Jack are the same person. A case of multiple personality disorder they say, but with no explanation on how two different physiologies may present themselves depending on the ‘state of mind’ and how they can actually co-exist in the same body and switch between the two. Leading one to think that having a state of mind is as powerful as they say, and realising that the placebo effect as it’s named, can indeed steer a person’s fate, because they believe it to be so real, that it makes it real. Well, they do say create your own reality, and all things start with an idea. Split personality disorders are interesting though, even more so once you factor in things like this, because while you might believe it’s one person having some identity issues, seems like perhaps for some there is something else going on. In times past, we might think they were possessed rather than putting them into a psychiatric category. Easy to miss something if you don’t know what you are looking for, and you have a multitude of other options to choose first, perhaps then getting rather lost in what then transpires from interference, medication, incarceration and what they call therapy.

But how is it that a person can become fractured into more than one? For the above case, I guess it’s possible it was the brain issue causing the problem, but goes no way to explain how it can switch the physical body to match the mental state. Sounds like a shape-shifter type of move to me, which again leads to more thoughts on whether things we have noted as Myths, Monsters and Legends may have slightly more grounding in reality than we might think. Also makes me think of the strange Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde tale. And my article Soul Harvester gives an idea of the soul being split too, or is able to be. So, might the soul and identity be more related than we think, and even only one of those is accepted as a real thing, and just as consciousness gets questioned and cannot be defined or explained properly, so too does the soul.

And we focus on identity as the basis of the definable reality we find ourselves in, and how we function around others who we also like to ‘identify’ as something. Like the constant need for you to have a name, a number or a code so you can be identified and categorised, and now they have put into people’s heads that they need to choose a physical reality as well as a mental one. With their technological advances in virtual reality probably hoping to help make that part of the future where it will be Virtually Real Life. It seems though that maybe our brains are capable of creating more than just ideas, and what we imagine in mind, may be more than just a thought if it then goes on to create reality from that. So, we try as best we can to define the difference between real and illusion, or reality and fiction, and unravel what it is that makes us who we are, or who we think we are. But if the brain can indeed create physical manifestations of what should only be thoughts, well, that raises more than a few questions, one or two of which was probably covered in Creating A Nightmare Reality. Or is it that there is indeed something in the physical realm which alters our mental perceptions and then our body adapts to the mental changes? I haven’t decided at this stage, and although will be giving it more thought, will be even more mindful of those thoughts, as you never really know where they are going and what they are creating…

A Point of Interest

It’s no secret there have been a number of fires of churches and cathedrals across Europe in recent years. In fact, another one only today at the famous Notre-Dame cathedral in France, again. Historical buildings going up in smoke and leading some to ask questions about the motivation behind those incidents and if a pattern is emerging. Of course there are the common options, insurance, rivalry or an actual accident. But I wondered on a different idea today, and have already thought about it in relation to these buildings, as well as Star Forts and Folly’s. And I guess crossed into it slightly with Church of Death, that they are specially placed for purpose, just not a good one as might have once thought.

That the system that has built up around worship and control of the masses through indoctrination, needs to have beacons and amplifiers strategically placed to harness and process the energy people generate. It’s possible that ley lines and the overall magnetic grid of the earth is important and they are placed as a power point might be, tapping into the background wires already in place, and just fitting a new socket as it were. And just as we have streetlights dotted along the way, cables under the ground and wires above our head to facilitate the movement of electricity, we ourselves get caught in that grid. Our personal molecules being agitated, excited, confused, and whatever else occurs when it is stimulated by external forces you can’t hear or see and aren’t always even able to feel. You’ll know if you have ever stood underneath one of those huge pylons, how it crackles and pops and makes you feel weird? Or if a storm is coming and you can feel it in the air, the static building and feeling like you aren’t quite safe outside anymore. That’s two concentrated examples, where we know it’s not right to be near it and our instincts work together to let us know to make ourselves scarce. We come to our ‘senses’ and usually vacate the area or have warnings placed for those who aren’t maybe so aware.

But if it was a more subtle distribution of that energy, being used to gather more energy, would we feel it? Would our senses alert us to the fact that something was amiss? Are there perhaps things that have been put in place to mildly hypnotise and placate people? To distract them and get them to attend a certain location for ritual recharging as well as simultaneous draining. A change in the tone for ringing bells, so that it no longer brings an uplifting or harmonic sound with it, but gives the repetitive tone needed for the hypnotic state. Like the Eloi in The Time Machine, mindlessly walking towards their doom when the siren sounded, just as they had been conditioned to…

A Different Level

What is it that has caused huge changes in what we know as sea level? We talk of flooding in times past, on a biblical scale. And can see evidence of old coastlines and landscapes submerged with many ancient depictions of floods and devastating events.

I have already given thought to this briefly in The Bit in Between, of there being an extra layer around us which drained into our layer causing a rise in sea levels. And now I wonder on a couple of other points of how and where extra water could be displaced or appear to have come from somewhere else. Firstly, water is quite unique they say as an element, being able to exist in three different states.

So, if the water vapour as a gas became denser, it could mean less ‘air’ above the water, increasing the volume of it to become solid, which then adds to the mass already here and I guess we presume that it gets ‘locked up in ice’. But as water is denser than ice, it would seem to me that it sits on top or floats (as we know it does with icebergs and just your average little ice-cubes), so doesn’t displace the water. Or, the air density changes and creates a vast pressure pushing down on the existing volume of water (more than gravity does already), giving it a new ‘level’ as such, without adding or taking any water away. Because what if gravity as we know it can change? Or the pressure can vary given the correct conditions and then would affect the moveable molecules in the atmosphere. And I keep thinking frequency is rather important here, from seeing the Flat or Round? debate around water, and how they say it could not possibly cover a spherical object and maintain its position. After all, they call it water level, don’t they? But, a video of a common water experiment made me think of how it does maintain the flow on a round object, the experiment is a tap turned on with water running out of it in its normal downward trajectory. And once a certain frequency is introduced, the water suddenly changes it’s course to look like a corkscrew and is held in place while bending and still flowing.

If we do indeed have a certain harmonic frequency being emitted from the earth itself, either what they call the Schumann resonance or something else, then it could be possible that you could actually have a ball covered in water maintaining that flow. If the ball was ‘tuned’ to the right frequency. And then I think of what you might be able to do if you could tweak that frequency, perhaps causing outrageous storms, high winds and huge waves in the middle of the ocean where the effect is greatest. Starting a chain reaction that will travel and give rise to other events, the pond effect as you see it when they project a tsunami warning. And it may well be that the planet does that anyway, and that is how we have a constant motion of air and water that flows, at times being choppy and uncertain, or calm and tranquil. I guess controlling The Weather is a big thing, and if you could be seen to control that, well, that would almost make you like God’s, wouldn’t it? I can see why some people might want others to think they can control it, or at least influence it, and recently given all the strange clouds, unseasonal storms and severity of things occurring, I can see why. But we as people are also opportunists, and the people who have put themselves in charge are a hyped up version of that, so would definitely take advantage of something natural and try and use it for purpose. And of course, it could be a bit of both like with life, where we are at the mercy of nature and man alike, working together and against each other in a constant battle for control. Or that’s just how it appears, because when I put the wrath of nature next to the wrath of humans, in my mind, one very clearly has the upper hand…
