Margaret or Jack?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

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

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

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

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

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…

Picture It

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

Many times you have probably heard things begin with, ‘Imagine that‘, and ‘picture it’ in your mind, and sometimes you may do that when requested, or your mind finds its own way to wander and create something of its own. And create it does, for many people in many ways, and when you are bombarded with various sources of input and imagery it can be an overwhelming overload of that input. For some it lingers too, or manifests into something else, or can lay dormant until a completely random time is chosen by your brain to resurrect it and make it a thought.

It isn’t something that people can control either it seems, although you may be able to determine its path once it’s arrived, or minimise it taking over and disrupting where your mind was, where it comes from and why is still a mystery as far as I know. Being incorporated and stored by your processing centres, filed for later use or dismissed as not needed by your awareness, and then something else happens, which we aren’t aware of, because it then decides what to do with the image, information, thought or idea itself. Chucking it back at you with no prompting sometimes, or at least not a conscious one, there may well be other factors which determine why a Memory of something comes back or pops up out of the blue as they might say. But we are not privy to why that is apparently.

And an extra curveball comes our way with thoughts and memories, as they can and do interweave themselves with our subconscious and can appear in Dreams, which can then alter our perception towards it, or turn it into something entirely new. Quite an odd thing. And depending on your level of imaginings, then I guess it can be more vivid and disturbing in some minds than others, my book Meeting in the Middle of Nowhere gives an idea of what it is like to have what they would call hyper visualisation happening. And my article Hyperphantasia, A Down Side gives a brief overview of how it might affect someone, with fears, phobias and how the brain will hold onto things you might very much like to let go of.

But it is down to the individual to try as best they can, to work out the best way to keep your mind in order. To filter what goes in, to work through what does, and to try not to let it get too cluttered or crazy in there. You are the only one who has to live in there (hopefully), and you know what they say about things and people getting to live rent free in your head? So for this, imagine your mind and thoughts are your living room, or bedroom if that’s your personal space. And all the things you view, talk about and see, are things knocking on that door wanting to get it. You may well have left the door open and it’s already beyond what you would call ‘personal space’, but scale it back, make it an empty room again, starting with just you. There is a knock at the door, and it’s a horror film with terrible imagery that wants to come in and sit with you for a while. Next it’s the media knocking, they want you to sit down and read all their headlines, and all your acquaintances, family, colleagues, friends, work, movies, books, music, words and ideas you have ever been exposed too. They all work their way in, and it’s down to you to sort through it and manage it, because if left unchecked, it seems that the mind has a very curious ability to completely unravel. So, keep an eye on yourself, as you are really the only one who stands half a chance of actually knowing what is going on in your mind, unless of course, it wasn’t yours to begin with…
