Thoughts

Hair

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

It may seem like just another part of your exterior, one to be managed and maintained throughout our lives, not everyone of course as not all keep their hair, but even then it is still noticed and I guess, thought about. It’s been made a thing in society too, as part of your appearance, for judgement and categorising people. A shaved head being a classic one, if you are not a prisoner, in a mental hospital or in the military, people are not sure what to make of it. We had a whole social movement which had it very much as a focus, so attitudes towards it are varied. And if you happen to be female with a shaved head, then also some assumptions and raised eyebrows follow. Although there are plenty of attitudes towards all sorts of hairstyles, this piece is focusing on two, with hair, and without.

Monks – even though apparently enlightened, or at least seeking the path to, they believe that hair symbolises worldly fashion and ego.

Native American Indians – I read an interesting snippet recently about Native Americans being ‘recruited’ by the army for their tracking skills. But once they were fully enlisted, regulated with uniform and military haircut, they say they ‘lost their ability’. Now, that could be the case, or they simply may have been forced to join and didn’t actually want to help, we’ll never know. But on the premise that it is true, I wondered if the hair really could be important.

Antenna – it is said that our hair acts as an antenna, connecting us to the energy around us as a kind of sensor. What it is sensing who can say, but the idea that we are connected to electrical energy all around us isn’t that crazy. Ever do the weird thing where you rub a balloon on your hair to make it static, then the balloon would stick to the ceiling? That’s when you activate it with the balloon rubber, who knows what goes on with other stimuli. And perhaps why certain products might be worse for your hair that at first thought, not just as it lets things seep directly into your head by way of your hair follicals, but because it might also block what is meant to get through. Over the years there have been more and more, hairspray, dyes, gel, shampoo, conditioner, glitter, straightening, hair dryers, perms etc. And that is just all for your hair, when you add up all the products being absorbed through our exterior, willingly applied by us, then it can be of concern.

Senses – we say there are five senses, the main ones anyway, and there is speculation over a sixth one for ESP related activities. So, what if our hair is actually a sense, but one which functions without our awareness perhaps. Taking in our surroundings and feeding us either information or energy, they say if your hair feels good, you feel good, maybe there is something in that. And maybe ties into the antenna idea too, as when something is sensed like the saying ‘someone just walked over my grave’, it’s often accompanied with all the hairs on your body standing on end. Or if you think you are being watched. Now, some may say that is touch, as your skin is alerted to something, but if nothing actually touched you, and you can’t see anything, is it actually your hair that has picked up something? Passing that along to the other senses to then decide on the necessary response. That may be why there has been a policy in certain institutions and punishments to shave people’s hair, under the guise of ‘health and safety’ but is ultimately to cut off one of your senses. As well it being called a dehumanising act in itself anyway, maybe there is an extra layer of dehumanising there we hadn’t quite considered. I wonder…

Copy of a Memory

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

Do we remember beyond our own lifetime and experiences? It is theorised in psychology that we have genetic memory, a basic idea of some learned responses perhaps being handed down. But not actual experiences.

I’ll thrown in a few films to delve a little further into the idea, having already written an article about Memory, from a different angle but it ties in here too.

Dark City – it is about injecting memories into people, to create a ‘personality’ which can then be studied, where also the landscape changes and all the people are part of the set up. A good metaphor for society but condensed into short periodic changes – the idea that you are pumped full of ‘education’ and ideas, and conditioned of how to go with a certain history given to you. Then over time the landscape changes, buildings go up, and come down, place names change and people move around, adapting to the changes. All playing their part.

Aeon Flux – In a future time, where the population is sterile and breeding occurs through cloning, reusing people’s blueprints to keep the human race going. But as with much, it’s not quite as it seems, and memories are a running theme throughout, an overlay of what once was being carried down through the DNA.

The Island – another cloning one, but also very much about memory, and how the original host memories were ‘growing’ in the copy despite a complete lack of experience of any of the events. Only fragmented and coming through as dreams or nightmares, mixing with the clone’s life experiences to that point, creating an odd thought process and ‘reality’.

And this is where I wondered about people as we know them in our society, and if you did have clones amongst us as some speculate, would there be something different about them? Where they were almost an exact copy, but not quite, because you lose something of the original when you copy, or at least you used to. Maybe like the photocopier to scanner difference in quality, it is an improvable formula.

Or are memories more important than we realise, and aren’t because of being reused, but because we remembering what came before. Reincarnation of the stages and life cycles that are theorised probably tie in here, and maybe why it is necessary to keep changing things in society. Making sure knowledge is lost, people are split up and their traditions replaced with new ones carefully formulated to give them a past. Keeping us all away perhaps from who we really are…

Dreamy, or Terrifying?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 5 Comments

It’s a strange thing, that odd occurrence when you go to sleep that happens to many people. You dream. There have been studies, thought, ideas and speculations about what happens and where we ‘go’ when it does. Some say it’s our astral self experiencing things on another type of reality. Others think it could just be a bunch of electrical impulses creating images and thoughts while we sleep. But whatever is actually going on, you can’t deny that some of the ideas are really quite interesting. If you like that sort of thing.

Night terrors – a strange experience for those who go through it, acting out terrifying events in your dream they say. I can only presume that the normal mechanism of our bodies and minds recognising and acknowledging the ‘separation time’ of sleep, is absent in those people. And when encountering something that requires a reaction in the dream world, the body reacts in the normal realm to the other stimuli. Perhaps.

Nightmares – perhaps the lead in to the night terrors, but for most people they stop at being acted out physically in this realm, yet can seem to occur in the other one as a thought process and seem as though it is being acted out. Perhaps in a virtual reality kind of way Matrix style, because that was all done in their head, lying in a chair, only the point of death physically transferred. So, same set up for nightmares and maybe even dreams, where you are ‘plugged in’ to wherever it is that we go, and your consciousness is transferred somewhere else. Maybe the nightmares are where you get trapped in between and you are in both which is where it gets extra weird. The films Nightmare on Elm Street spring to mind here, and if you know them, you’ll know why.

Sleep realm – it’s a strange thing, to think we are kind of absent from our lives for around 6-8 hours per day, although there are speculations by some that we do go somewhere else and have ‘experiences’ there too. So, living a dual life of sorts I guess, but a subconscious one you can’t remember when you emerge back into this one. Funny to think of the terminology for it all to – you wake ‘up’ and ‘fall’ asleep. Could it be that we go down somewhere for the resting phase, and rise up again for the awake phase?

Dreams – and what of that process that occurs when we are submerged into the subconscious, we call it dreaming, but what is it? Just a recreation of all the input our daily life throws at us, being downloaded at night for storage they say, just like a computer I guess taking a back-up or archiving information. But it really does seem to be more complex than that, and although studied, it appears we still don’t actually have a clue. I wonder sometimes if that’s part of why they want a chip in people’s heads, and to try and get into their heads as they put it, because it may just be access to the other ‘reality’ that is created through the sleep process. Maybe.

And that’s where the potentially terrifying bit comes in, that there is somewhere else you ‘go’, where you can’t control when, or how, or what and are at the mercy of that. And is it possible that once something knows you can move between the worlds, and is not maybe restricted by two states as we are with sleep and awake, that they move freely between the two. Either we bring something back with us, or it follows us, or possibly always had its own route. Things we can’t see with our open eyes, yet in our sleeping state, we appear to ‘see’ without having our eyes open, so what it is we are seeing with? And who is to say that something is not there just because we don’t ‘see’ it, we are calibrated to be able to view certain spectrums of light so maybe there are things there invisible to us, yet they are there. Being named as apparitions or ghosts perhaps when a glimpse is caught, or if someone has a slightly different ability to everyone else and can see more than others. You just never know…

Compensating, But For What Precisely?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

There is talk of reparations, for peoples of times gone by and their descendants to ‘get justice’ for the past. And in principle, I can see how that might occur, with our tendency as a species to live in the past sometimes, and having emotional triggers for it placed so carefully within society. And before I go into the interesting point I want to mention, I want to say that encouragement of this type of thing by the authorities, very neatly takes you away from thinking about justices that should be occurring now. Like, it’s ok, ignore what’s happening now, we’ll just say sorry and chuck some money your way in a few hundred years, if you catch my meaning.

But upon seeing a post about someone being quite miffed at the suggestion of reparations from the UK, because Britain had used 40% of its wealth to abolish slavery in 1833, not even fully paying back what was borrowed for it until 2014. So, I looked further, thinking that it seemed an awful lot of money to borrow and wondered who might have lent it and who in fact may have benefitted from it. Not far to look before you see the name Rothschild pop up, but upon reading the details of the arrangement, I can’t help but think it was all for show, as is much these days so why would it be any different back then? The terms initially of ‘abolishing’ slavery were only applicable to people up to the age of 6, yes, 6. Any over that age was transferred to what they were calling ‘apprenticeships’ – which then morphed into something else. Probably leading in neatly to ’employment contracts’ and paying taxes, making the slaves think they were free, but by constructing society in such a way as to make sure they were tied to be workers for their ‘master’ for the long term, or as we know them today, employers. Yet they were already there hundreds of years before, from 1351 with the Statute of Labourers – part of the moves covered in A Working Strategy. So, people on this island have been tied into certain working conditions for quite some time, with the rules of the slavery being less brutal than other regimes and methods.

And those employers along the way have become slaves to the bigger picture now, being used as middle men, muscle and mercenaries against their own. Divide and conquer as the saying goes. And with those taxes they pimp from us, they then use them to further the enslavement. Also, by publicly calling off slavery by way of payments to compensate all those slave owners, you tie in that country to debt, 200 years of it in fact. Then can conveniently be used as propaganda now, to sow further division and greed amongst the people. As well as making some very wealthy people through that reimbursement, using that borrowed money and taxes. A shift of wealth and a new regime, sound familiar?

Moves in certain countries currently to make a big thing of offering indigenous people and minorities loans has not gone unnoticed. But to me it serves two purposes, and neither of them are to help the ‘people’. Firstly, it ties them into debt they had previously been denied for, loans, mortgages etc, potentially clamouring for them as it had been out of your reach for so long. Secondly, it then causes tension between the people being offered what appear to be better rates and deals. But that’s just how it appears, and the recent inflation rises should be a lesson. That it’s a scale of debt they like to start you on, so it builds up gradually and you are in it for life as they say.

There is an anonymous saying which seems apt here –

‘I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves’

So, rather than play their little game of jealously, anger, debt and slavery, we should be working together to undo the ideas that created it all in the first place.

Church of Death

~ MKW Publishing ~ 4 Comments

A strange idea occurred to me today, which started with a cross and talking of it representing a religious faith. Now, here is what I thought, although it may be an unpopular idea. With the heavy usage of symbolism across the board, as well as with recent more demonic imagery, and discussing how the Romans apparently used crucifixion as a form of death before Christ. It suddenly seemed to me to actually be a symbol of death, and by getting people to wear the icon of death is actually an inverted version of what they say. And the thought went on.

Churches – I then wondered about churches, and it’s been speculated before about cathedrals and similar buildings being there for amplification, or as energy generators. Well, on that note, I wondered about the placing of graveyards and burial sites close to these buildings, possibly harnessing dead energy. Almost in an Indian burial ground kind of way, but with a technological twist. The actual building.

Graveyards – as above, wondering if their placement is important, above and beyond an intimate grieving ritual we perform. Even the whole idea of being put in a box, like the Egyptians and other ancient cultures too, or some type of binding in death. Keeping you in the ground for energy. Which then made me think of the Australian aborigine tradition, they bury the body in the ground if they have been bad and they go to hell. Burning it in trees for it be released to the heavens if they have been good. And I guess that may be correct on this line of thought – maybe you are then trapped in a type of hell if you are buried and contained in the thereafter. Until such time as you have turned completely to dust.

Crosses – now, I wondered if the positioning of the wood, actually grounds the energy of what is occurring and draws it inwards towards the ground. A reverse mechanism kind of thing to bringing positive energy up through copper wires. So, instead you create a negative energy and feeling in that place, my articles Imprinting and Echoes in Time possibly crosses over here too, and helps to create what we have come to know as a hidden burial ground, where you only know it’s there by the feeling. And often it may be that nobody was buried in that place, but their life force was drained from them there.

And maybe that goes some way to also explain the catacombs and ossuaries covered in One Thing Leads To Another, where keeping the relics of the dead is important in some way, or at least was. Maybe we are entering a new time where it’s no longer needed, as they have a way of draining you of life while you live now, rather than wait. Or that’s just how it feels sometimes Perhaps. Whatever is going on with all of the above, there is definitely a very sinister coating to it all, and when you think back to times past and what has been done in the name of religion, makes me realise it always was. A wolf in sheep’s clothing kind of thing, having always been there to lead you into the ritual servitude of darkness, convincing you it’s the way. Through similar conditioning that we see today, repetitive rituals to be part of every part of your life. With a timely call of bells to help to reinforce the hypnotic state needed to perpetuate the control on people, and a set day a week you must attend to show your allegiance. And wear a symbol, so that maybe it channels the negative energy towards that person, or is just a visual reminder for them and another part of the mental strategy. Or not, and it really is what they say it is and all is as it appears…
