Awake or Out?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

What is it we think we are ‘waking up’ from precisely? A dream? A construct? An orchestrated lie? Or what is it exactly we think we could find ‘A Way Out‘ of?

Dark City – waking up during a procedure, to replace your memories, thoughts and personality. Funnily enough, by way of an injection. But it is the procedure itself that ‘wakes’ the characters up. Seems fitting for where many may find themselves these days.

Alice in Wonderland – waking up from a dream, but the whole time not knowing it was. Thinking the topsy turvy world was now her reality until she woke up.

The Matrix – waking up from your conditioning, and then your physical realm. But how did the first one become aware, and then ‘unplug’ themselves to eek out that strained and exhausting existence thereafter? Did they wake up, or were they awoken?

Wizard of Oz – another where she wakes up in a new world, but as with the others, the lines are blurred. And much is put down as dreams or nightmares for such things, but as with that story, it wasn’t meant to be. It was a ‘real experience’ in the stories. And the sequel goes back to that idea, not delusion, but real.

Logans Run – waking up to the illusion while you are trying to stop others who have. Being exposed to what turned others in the first place, slowly dawning on the main character as it all unravels.

And I wonder if that’s how it works? For the ones who never noticed something was rather off, and have now been pulled into the exposure, it’s only then they actually ‘see’ it. Because being told isn’t enough for them to comprehend or fully assimilate what it actually means. Like in Soylent Green when he looks to have gone mad, shouting that they are eating people, yet no-one really cares by that point, or sees it. Can’t see the wood for the trees as they might say. And maybe some people are cursed, as Snow White was, to sleep for an age and wait for such a time as your fate comes to wake you, whether that be the good or the bad. But whichever one does come to find you, you won’t want to be sleeping when it does…

An Elongated History

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

There is much debate on the origins of modern humans, as there always has been. But I keep coming back to skulls as a point of interest.

There are a couple that claim to be alien, and we have the range of hominids, and the elongated skulls. Which are the ones that gave me a new idea, even though I have seen them many times and already given them thought.

Could there still be some people alive today that have an elongated cranium? And they have always been there? There has been talk of all the tall and pointy hats throughout history, in many places. Could that have hidden the obvious difference from others? And now people don’t have to be seen if they don’t want to and have enough money to remain behind the scenes.

Deformed skulls from the dark ages article, saying large, skilled women travelled on their own from Romania, Bulgaria and Greece, settling in Bavaria during the dark ages.

Nephilim – known as giants or angels much larger than humans and interbred with us apparently. But what if? Makes me wonder about all the DNA testing. Is that to find something? Or is it being changed as is speculated, as is said has been done before.

Neanderthals – portrayed mostly as very primitive hominids, just getting by and not really advancing. But my theory of interbreeding with homo sapiens was finally proved in recent years when they discovered that around 2% of people have Neanderthal DNA. Could it be they were the advanced race that goes back to Atlanteans? And they have been rewritten like much else. It’s a long shot, but who knows.

There is much we don’t know and have a mere scattering of pieces to work from over a vast period of time. Wondering if any of those pieces really do hold any of the keys to where we find ourselves now. Just as things get buried and changed in these current times, waiting for someone or something else in the future to pick up the pieces and work it out. Although it may seem like an impossible puzzle, I can’t help thinking there just might be a way to solve it…
