Somewhere in Time

All of the following films mostly are mentioned in my article Timing, and The Machine of Time, but that was looking at the psychological aspect of it, partly at the mechanism and the themes of the films. This one is more for the mechanics behind the process and the method of ‘travel’ in each of them.

Bill and Ted – the ‘phone box’ being their time machine, dialling into the century you would like to go to, using technology to manipulate the streams of time.

Doctor Who – also with a phone box of sorts, but not machine. A living ship no less, which reminds of that random show a few years ago called Farscape, with a living ship.

Quantum leap – Al with his little keypad type thing called Ziggy, calculating the chances, the mission, the next leap. And the energy of Same would be transposed somewhere else, in someone else and in some other time. Random, but with purpose.

The Time Machine – a contraption to take the seated occupant to the future or the past. Being a witness and spectator to it rising and falling around you until you reach your destination.

Back to the Future – a car was used for this one, and was a great watch in its ‘time’. With extra hints at things that can happen when you meddle with time.

Harry Potter 3 – there was a watch, fitting piece of technology for its purpose, and the only one out of the lot to actually pick a timepiece, and with an extra layer, they had to return to the clock tower on the twelfth chime before the mechanism ‘wore off’. This one also being different as it showed the travellers being duplicated by this process and existing in more than one time simultaneously. The film looper also had a cross-over of timelines for the same person, another strange aspect to the idea.

All machines involved in the ‘journey’ forwards or backwards. But there are others, where it was an object and then mental projection that caused the time travel. Somewhere in Time, Weeping Angels (Dr Who episode) and The Butterfly Effect. So, are we only stuck in this time because we think we are? Mostly being taught that a) time travel as a reality is ridiculous and b) that you would need to build a machine to make it happen it if was possible. Such a ridiculous idea, that it gets mulled over again and again, as in the above stories and films, and surely too in the odd mind of a ‘scientist’, but also in the minds of people giving thought to times past and what is to come.

And this is where I will mention Chronesthesia again (having previously mentioned it in my article about Hyperphantasia, Chronesthesia being the name given to what they have called mental time travel. “In psychology, mental time travel is the capacity to mentally reconstruct personal events from the past as well as to imagine possible scenarios in the future”. I thought everyone did this, or at least could, but it turns out that is an incorrect assessment, and it varies greatly amongst the population. So, do we need a ‘machine’ at all I wonder, or is that we have built-in abilities for such possibilities that we almost can’t even accept them, let alone know how to access or harness them. Perhaps, or maybe we are just beholden to the straight, forward-facing line of time, only going one way and getting pulled along whether we like it or not. But maybe, just maybe, there is something else, behind the ‘face of time’, waiting for us to work it out…

Looking After Yourself

It’s an insidious chain like many other things, but people ask the question of why so many seem to blindly seek ‘help’ for what seems to be a basic thing. Whether it be health, finance, education, or safety. And like with many things, it’s not just repeated generational conditioning. It actually needed real physical steps to encourage, entice, and ultimately force people to do it.

“Why would people go to the doctor for a cold?” Was the question I saw, and in itself it’s not the question that made me think, it was the answer. Of needing a sick note for an employer (and another answer of wanting attention, but that’s a different kettle of fish). And there it was, the tie in. Many people wouldn’t go to the doctor for many things, which is why that probably started, or people knew how to remedy lots of things back in the days before big pharma. But for work purposes, and to be paid while off being ill they required that extra middleman to ‘sign off’ on it, by signing you off. Of course, they’ll blame people being dishonest first, saying it’s to prevent fraud or people taking the piss. But as we see today, mass fraud is and has been facilitated for the longest time in the bowels of the establishment. They just wanted you to judge each other, and grass up each other, and ultimately make you think ill of the people around you. Distracting you from what you should really be concerned about and who is actually taking the piss.

But it’s a well-laid plan and trap, and appears that many people have tried to avoid, side-step or completely ignore the intrusive policies and procedures that have crept into most aspects of daily life. From the start to the end of it, ‘from cradle to grave’ as is their mantra. Requirements for health checks, jabs, screening, tests, education, rules and regulations to put your children through before they are even tall enough to go on a fairground ride. Institutions to put them into and comply with, and if you notice the weirdness, or try to go your own way, well, they invent laws and monetary fines to deal with that kind of individual responsibility or thinking. For the masses anyway, a few slip through the net fortunately.

Then come the labels to divide people up even more, to then be able to break them down and put them into ‘programs’. Social ones, medical ones, education ones, and so on, until you upgrade to corporate and industrial ones. Funnelling people into groups and avenues they wouldn’t normally be subject to. And it all ties back to you having to go, cap in hand, to the authorities and ask for help at some point. Not to your family, neighbour, friend or community, no, they get in the way of needing extra authority assistance. So, that has been slowly destroyed too, separating people and their mindset. They want all your time being monitored and accounted for (banking, data and tax), your personal history and belongings to be recorded (social security number and insurance). Your health and ills, even wanting to monitor you when in good health, just for ‘check-ups’ and ‘routine screening’.

All making money for someone along the line, but it also gets you in the system and into the swing of ‘checking in’ with your overseer so they can keep tabs on you. And as we know, once you’re in, the Hydra works very hard to keep you. Systems of health, education, debt and finance, more rules, laws and regulations to make sure you need them. Or at least to think you do. All the while those systems make it so you need them, because if you didn’t need them they wouldn’t exist, right? Convincing people they need those systems is paramount. Through infantilising, trauma and consistent propaganda, they have made people believe it is for more than just convenience we accept how it is, it’s necessity. Because it now seems as though it is more than convenience, for many people truly seem to believe that without government and the authorities, people would be worse off. As they are meant to, but from what we see now, that couldn’t be further from the truth…

A Spoonful of Honey

A thought, as does happen. Looking at another part of the food chain and its byproduct, which is very beneficial to us. Like cows with their milk, chickens with their eggs, we have bees and their honey.

And it seems that bees are also on the hit list of industry and like the other animals, they are utilised and exploited. But the thought that started this one was the ‘fact’ about honey being potentially bad for small infants and shouldn’t be given to babies under 12 months. I knew this, but didn’t know why, so looked it up because of a comment about them being given lots of other toxic components by that age, but not honey.

So, I wondered if honey might actually have something in it that protects the immune system against certain toxins. And would it help to clean and build a healthy system? Strangely enough, once I mentioned this on a comment online, I got two replies from seemingly bots, trying to take the piss. One saying the extra special ingredients was C Botulinum. Weird, I thought that you couldn’t get a serious bacterial infection from something that is antibacterial. And it turns out they don’t quite know why babies catch that, but they think it’s honey. Even though the condition is considered extremely rare (although that word doesn’t mean what it used to either), it seems mad they decided it was honey. Especially when we now see the harmful practices and substances being dished out to babies, children, and adults.

As honey isn’t always even honey these days, I can see why that might cause caution as it’s instead just sugar and cornsyrup, so it’s not good for kids. But there is something about it that makes it special, same with the bees and all the other creatures doing what they are meant to. Existing, creating, and providing, and we as humans benefit from that if we can understand and appreciate it.

Squirrels, these are rewilding specialists, in my opinion, after reading the statistic that 80% (ish) of all the nuts they bury for later, they never find again. So, I wondered if they even meant to find them. Maybe they are making sure new trees get maximum distribution. As an extra point, there has been discussions about sterilising squirrels as they think they are a pest.

Birds – already being targeted and mentioned in Playing Chicken and with chickens being domesticated, bear the brunt of many changes first. But birds generally are also rewilders of seeds and plants. They’re pest control as well.

Nature has a never-ending and huge network of benefits to know about, and while we ourselves aren’t too bad at Filtering, we are under pressure. Our systems can only deal with so many disruptions and toxins, as with the environment. And just like if the human body gets attacked and will react to something in survival mode, I get the feeling nature has that capacity too…

Sunny, Sort Of

There is much talk now of how there appears to have been A Change in the Weather. And I have already written a couple of other pieces on The Weather, and It’s A Cover Up, speculating on what might be going on and what people think and are saying. Farmers now taking notice of the continued awful conditions, as that is where we think the attention of this weather was meant to lie. To destroy crops and stability, leading neatly into the food scares and new products they would like everyone to now be focused on buying and consuming.

But the sun does seem to be elusive of late, sitting behind a hazy veil and obscured by what we are told are just normal clouds and vapours from planes, doing normal things. Despite having plane travel for quite some time, there are many who have been looking up and taking notice of the skies for decades, and some say it’s weird, others do not.

The photos in the pictures are all of the last week, where I have tried to get a direct photo of the sun, and it’s not easy with reflections and glare, and of course, the clouds. The murky grey has been like a blanket for a while now, with a few breaks of blue but not what we are used to. Although, we are very familiar with choppy and changeable weather in the UK, other European countries have also been noticing a similar pattern and crappy weather, so are we all seeing something that isn’t really there? Because the plants are also showing signs of weather fatigue, growing slowly and late, trying to survive the soggy, cold and windy days.

So, it seems that maybe the question isn’t are we seeing it, it’s more like what are we seeing? Have there been changes or distortions to what we see as the sun? Are the clouds thicker and straighter than we remember? Or is it normal changes that are advantageous for some people to wield as tool of manipulation, so they can then take ‘credit’ for them by way of people assuming or deciding in their own minds. Laying the foundations as had been done for many other things, for confusion, discord, division and squabble amongst ‘the people’ trying to work out who, what, why and when. But does that mean we are chasing shadows and being led down a merry path, or are we there because there is a trail to follow, like the breadcrumbs in the forest, trying to find your way out…

In The Dark

I guess many people feel like we are in the dark about lots of things, collectively and maybe personally in your own circle. Funnily enough, ‘the dark ages’ being a whole period of time they just sort of forget or brush off. Just erasing it from history without having to actually destroy anything, just change the dates a bit, play dumb and ignore any real evidence. As we have seen, institutions are very good at that.

But this one is about an idea, one of those out there ones, with a movie storyline parallel raising its head again. My article Prepped for Disaster, or Clever Programming? Touched on different films being uses to prime people for triggers and responses. And sometimes there are threads of truth running through them, and because it doesn’t play out in the same way or with the same horrors of the film, it gets dismissed.

I Am Legend – this is the focus since the new cancer jab came into the public forum. And today it was noted of the similarities between the outfit of ‘Dr Krippen’ in the film when giving an interview about the breakthrough for humanity, and the doctor who did the TV interview the other day. The whole set-up was rather eerie, so I do agree with ‘the talk on the street’ there.

But the film, if you don’t know, sees a catastrophic end of times side-effect to their ‘cure’ and it turned people into awful, monstrous creatures that could only go out at night. So, take away the horror element of monsters, and look at the mechanism. I wondered if perhaps the real version has found a way to make people allergic to the sun or to Vitamin D. To make the body recognise it as a toxin to attack the skin, causing it to burn or react, as it has with other components of tinkering with our systems. May sound silly to some people, but I’m considering all ideas these days. Taking away the layers of added horror or imagination that had been added for entertainment, to strip it back to what it might have started as, with a very real purpose and outcome expected. Distracting people from that with the idea of supernatural and horrifying hellish creations to try and kill you.

And it makes me then think of my article In The Old Underground, and of other creatures known to ‘fear the sun’, namely vampires. I have already spent much time wondering on that particular subject and considered it an option, but not in the way the movies portray, although as we have talk of adrenochrome these days, are the ideas of vampires really so far off? Strange though, that when you see the apparent drug addled ‘zombies’ in America, I couldn’t help thinking it was like The Walking Dead, but without them actually being zombies or dead. So, figured in this instalment to come with the next round of the pied piper trying to play the same tune, some of the symptoms would mimic that of vampires – hoping perhaps to whip people into a frenzy over it, and to be fair, if you thought you could set on fire from just going into the sun, it might change how you think, live and act, and how others view you. Perhaps, given what we have seen in the last few years I wouldn’t put anything past them as they try to cover the sun, make a fake one or create issues around us being able to have access to the very necessary light needed. It would seem their style and the sneaky way to do it, rather than take away the sun, just take away our ability to be in it…

Urban Myths

We hear stories and local legends, and like with Fairy Tales, urban myths have a way of hanging around, being retold, shared, and handed down through generations sometimes. Smaller and more local than the grand Myths, Monsters and Legends that end up being known through various lands. These ones being relevant to their location and time, and often with threads of truth running through them, but have had their own element of ‘Chinese Whispers’ added over the years.

But I watched an interesting documentary about Staten Island, and of their urban legend called Cropsey. Now, I have already been looking at certain islands around that area, with Coney Island being mentioned in my articles A Train of Thought and Being Real, linking them to ideas of enticing young people to islands with promises of fun and freedom. Also, Ellis Island has not gone unnoticed as a central hub of movement, looking like an ordinary processing centre when told it was for registering immigrants to America, but it seeming like so much more now. But Staten Island is different, and as they say it, became a dumping ground. Not just for vast amounts of rubbish and waste from New York, but for the ill, disabled and infirm, with many buildings being used as hospitals, testing sites, disease control sites and so on. And it was only because of a missing child, in fact a number of missing children, that it became a very real focus point for many at that time. It seems there have been an awful lot of occasions where people, and more alarmingly children have gone missing and never been found, or what their final fate was. Becoming new legends and myths in people’s lives.

And many of us might remember such strange stories from our childhood, or have heard various legends of places along the way. A few films below that come to mind for this subject, which all have a slight supernatural element running through them, apart from The Village, that was more a psychological one pretending to have supernatural entities causing havoc.

Candyman (1992), The Blair Witch Project (1999), IT (1990), Jeepers Creepers (2001), Urban Legends (1998), The Village (2004), Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

But we are led to believe that it’s the imagination that adds the supernatural elements and make them more than they are. However, that doesn’t seem to tally with what we see or know. Although people’s attention can be caught by sensationalism, mostly people prefer the reasonable and more ordinary answer. Often not willing to accept even the idea of an extra dimension of darkness, because it’s safer for the mind I suspect. So, I wonder how it is that such stories of demons, ghosts, witchcraft, vampires, rituals, entities and such made it into the mainstream. Just though fiction? Or is it that fiction is the only way to cross that border of ideas, comprehension, and understanding. To make people consider the extreme of it being real, so as to plant the seeds of warning.

And why would we need those warnings? Are movies and stories just a modern version of those old fairy tales, updated for the times but still there to pass it on. As well as desensitising some people, it alerts others, to the strange and dark that mostly likes to stay hidden and be among us, like the day walker, just blending in. So, myths and legends do something more than just entertain or keep the past alive. They are a cautionary tale often with threads of truth running through them, trying to reveal themselves. All we can do is pay attention as you don’t know if it is just fiction after all…

A Short Walk – one of my short stories, if you like that sort of thing.
