Characters of Illusion

~ MKW Publishing ~ 5 Comments

We are familiar with the world of illusions and gladly take part in it most of the time, when we knowingly engage at least. But it would appear that alongside the laid out version we buy into, literally, there is another one that isn’t so obvious, or at least wasn’t for quite some time. Are You Not Entertained? goes into how we allow ourselves to be captured by the stories and fantasies they portray, facilitating our own part as ‘the audience’.

Actors – these are obviously the main characters in all this as the frontmen of the illusion, but as with all the other creepy set-ups like carnivals, fairs, theme parks and such, there are the behind the scenes folk making it all happen. And as with any other industry they have noticed makes vast amounts of money, they have perfected it along the way, but this one is slightly different, as you can use them for all sorts of other social engineering purposes it would seem, previously discussed in How Weird?.

But the last few years has seen a strange utilisation of certain celebrities, the stories about them, their strange deaths seeming like a movie set or storyline. Timely reveals, takedowns and neatly sewn up plots, what people are used to watching on TV, so does anyone notice when it appears to be the same suddenly in real life? Some do, but it appears that for others, it’s not so noticeable and is a seamless cross-over. I start to wonder though about what else the actors have helped with over the years, and that means all the players, acting their part for the bigger stage that is working behind what we ‘the audience’ gets to see.

Shoulder Pads – were they just a fashion statement and natural development? Or, was it perhaps a design idea in order to ‘shoulder’ the differences in appearance of square, boxy male shoulder ratios. Power dressing they called it, using them to good effect in fashion, film, industry and so on. Blurring the lines again between women achieving something as women, and then having to imitate a male feature once there or to be accepted.

Competition – it also struck me over the years how there are indeed stark differences between the two sexes when it comes to being competitive, just on an average level. But when it gets to high-level sports and industries, where there is lots of sponsorship, trophies, marketing and pressure, is that really an environment women would choose naturally? And the answer may well be yes, but it could also be that the top ones and consistent winners are part of the EGI program, and lots of others are just there to ‘make up the numbers’, as you might say. And that’s why only a few make it, or stand out and go down in history as one that broke the mould.

The latest weird stunt by a well-known brand of alcohol, followed by other industries recently, decided to cause an uproar by casting a strange character indeed. And one that at first just seemed an obvious joke, a man performing what looked to be parody of being female, with exaggerated gestures and expressions, and an over-act of some female traits, along with garments and hairstyles to ‘show off’ the new found femininity with which he was portrayed. All very strange. But given the new path my though process has taken, I now wonder if it’s an even stranger reveal, almost as if they want you to see what you have really been looking at for all those years, without the extra implants and hormones, without the years of grooming and presentation. Which then leads to my next two thoughts – where there might have been hints in movies, as there always is, and as discussed in Show and Tell.

From Dusk Til Dawn – where the dancing snake lady (Salma Hayek), turns from beautiful one second, to a blood-thirsty, demonic vampire the next. Could also just be a metaphor for a gold digger, but given what has been circulating about what the ‘elite’ get up to, it might just not be a metaphor for anything at all, but just the plain old truth.

The Shining – the scene in the bathroom where the young woman is revealed in the mirror to be a hideous old rotting hag. Deceived by what you think you see.

Sirens – slightly different as they are apparently mythical but seems revalant here. They are said to be sea creatures or monsters, enticing sea-faring men with their beauty and singing voices, then when they get close, they get consumed. Take that out of the water and onto land, and factor in a lot of the other talk of demons, witches and how that industry operates, and suddenly it seems a bit more plausible. And maybe they were placed in stories as mythical and sea bound so that you wouldn’t notice them being around you or when you are being hypnotised by their ‘song’.

So, it now becomes a very strange ‘reality’ where you don’t actually know who is who, who is what, and what is who. With all the talk of various actors apparently playing the lead roles in politics in America, no-one ever dies, no-one is who you think they are, and if everything keeps going the way it seems to be, no-one is even going to know who they themselves are by the end of it. Quite the confusing ‘movie’ to have everyone watching, with strange characters, odd dialogue, no director, plot holes and dodgy sets. But the doors have been locked behind you on the way in, and we all end up becoming part of this long-running busted up film, just like those never-ending franchises that keep staggering on, so does the weirdness…

Terraforming

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

It’s an idea we usually think of about other planets, of making the terrain and atmosphere habitable for us humans, but is it perhaps that we are being terraformed ourselves? As a planet and perhaps as a species, and maybe have been in the past so that we ended up in a ‘Goldilocks Zone’, and with the physiology we have today.

The Martian (2015) – showing how a human tries to sustain himself and grow things when stranded on Mars, giving a rather bleak and harrowing view of a futile looking landscape to try and ‘survive’ in.

Transformers – I guess the clue is in the name there, but part of the storyline for the films, was that they would try and transform earth into a machine world.

The Matrix (1999) – the film insinuated that the setting for that human battery farm, was actually earth, and that it had been changed along the way starting with the battle for supremacy. “We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power.” Makes me think of how today there appears to be plans afoot to obscure the sun, because what that movie failed to mention, is that humans are also dependent on the sun, as are all the other topside living organisms. Many are starting to notice that something isn’t quite right with ‘up there’.

Oblivion – The TET, a vast machine that appeared to be helping to take the last resources from earth to a new home for humans. The lie that kept the cloned humans in the dark and working to help achieve that aim, all the while being used and deceived for something else’s ‘greater good’. Sound familiar?

And perhaps there is a type of terraforming that occurs in the mind too, Laying The Foundations for immense structures of confusion and fear to be built and maintained mentally, in a personal metaverse for each person. Terror-Forming, where a terrifying reality takes shape but only in your mind, which is well equipped to run with it, facilitate and enhance it, using imagination and emotions to nurture and sustain it. Being Terror-Formed, so that we do our own terraforming, believing like with the TET, that we are trying to escape the world collapsing around us, when it appears humans are the ones helping to collapse it. This is why I guess many people look to those ‘in power’ with a somewhat different view, and ask whether they are in fact normal humans, as there appears something so very sinister and vacant about many now, that it’s noticeable. And it could just be that people find it hard to really believe and understand that other humans can be that dark, and nasty and calculated, which of course, they can. But there is also something else, a bit darker and bit weirder that seems to be playing out these days, so all ideas are being considered…

Soul Harvester

~ MKW Publishing ~ 4 Comments

Do we get collected? Is there something that waits to shepherd us to the ‘other side, the reaper as they say to assist the soul in moving onto the ‘next realm’. A few of the examples from ancient times are covered in my article Water Ways, of the aqua based theme of the underworld and the ‘undead’ immortal souls.

What if there is something that is there to shepherd you after the physical time ends, and we as people have given it a name and a form we can understand, trying to make sense of something way beyond our mortal reach. But what if there is something else, not quite fully in the realm of the undead, and with the ability to move among us as might be said. And what if that entity can take you before your time is up? A few things tie together to give me this idea, so I’ll try and explain – firstly, a tale of being high back in the 70’s, and of an out of body experience, followed thereafter by what they described as ‘forceable out of body experience’ and in their own words, “they felt like something was ripping them out of their body” randomly for a time. Secondly, hearing about what is called ‘Walk-In Souls’ who can come and essentially take a body at any point through a person’s life. They say it is an agreed exchange, and it could well be, but there may be reason to believe that’s not always the case. And thirdly, probably leading on from that last one, possession. With the idea that an evil entity has possessed the body of a ‘normal’ person and they have been overtaken, mind, body and soul as they say.

I was quite surprised to hear people talk so casually and openly of walk-in souls as if it is a real thing, which is what made me give it some attention, having never really thought of it from that angle and only recently started giving extra thought to that side of things. And it does seem to add an extra dimension (literally), to the idea of souls and what part of our consciousness is really in control or even aware of what we are, and an existence outside of our contained bodily structure. But if walk-ins are real, you can see how it might stand to reason that people seemed possessed, or ‘out of their mind’ as the saying goes, because they were. And sometimes sayings end up being what they are for a reason, but something gets lost over time, either taken literally, or not literally enough. A turn of phrase as they say, being turned away from it’s original meaning. Words and Meaning is another article for that type of thing.

Trapped in between energies – I also wonder if there is a limbo that people can get trapped in, usually surrounding the idea of death again, but without anyone to help you cross over, and you are left to wander neither dead or alive, but caught in between here and there. Like a double-glazed window, but you are in the middle bit and both sides aren’t transparent, so you can’t even see what you are trapped between. Perhaps.

Entities – with the idea and theories of things being able to take you from your ‘living’ mind and body or replace your soul, it would stand to reason that there is a belief that we are accessible to them, the entities. Are they only able to inhabit humans with agreement? Are they other souls, or beings that are made up of energy seeking form? Or it is a bit more sinister than that, and although it seems all harmony and mostly seems about enlightenment, I can’t help thinking there is always a darker side when energy and humans are involved.

Split soul identity – I wondered about this anyway, from the idea put forward in the Harry Potter franchise, that someone could split their soul into a number of ‘pieces’ and ingrain themselves in part into an object or person to maintain their existence. And with a walk-in soul idea, I wondered if it could happen without agreement, and if it then becomes a split soul as in two different souls in one, as well as the idea of one soul being split into parts, and remaining within the one host. As you can tell, I have many questions on this idea.

But whether we are reaped, harvested, collected, or just moved on through, who knows, but there are many ideas, stories, myths and tales of who or what that might be. Things we aren’t entirely privy to in normal life, but yet are aware of them in the background. As if people know that something is there just behind the veil of life, underneath it and part of it, potentially waiting for an opportunity to step-in and live a bit as one might say. Odd as well to think that rather than being escorted anywhere of your own volition, you could be ‘abducted’ from your soul experience by another, all agreed in a celestial realm you aren’t consciously aware of, yet you become part of it. Crazy stuff, but then again these are quite crazy times, so everything is being considered…
