Seven Again

It appears to be a running theme throughout various ancient writings, scripts, ideas and throughout the ages is used again and again. And it may be that it isn’t actually relevant in the bigger scheme of things, and it has merely become familiar so we replicate it, as we sometimes do. But could there be more to it?

Seven Deadly Sins – covered in my article Seven already.

Seven Virtues – the not so talked about opposite to the sins, as it seems they take a centre stage for apparently representing what humans are really like. But there are characteristics that are seen as good, wholesome and well, virtuous.

Seven Chambered Cave – in Mayan folklore they have a place called Chicomoztoc – The Place of Seven Caves which is where they say is the location that birthed humanity.

Seven ancient wonders – not all still with us, or entirely intact if they are. But still impressive, especially if they really all were as they say (Colossus of Rhodes, Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and Lighthouse of Alexandria).

Seven Seas – a funny one really, as we have one ocean technically, five named oceans, and sometimes seven seas. So, depends on your reasoning and which geographical definition you want to go by. But I remember it from Sinbad the Sailor stories, and tales of the seven seas.

Seven Continents – for each of the landmasses we have, again, sometimes it’s four, or five, and in times past people have used the term continent for much smaller lands, but today we know it as seven.

Seven handfuls of soil – in the Muslim faith it is said that Allah sent angels to collect handfuls of soil all of different colours, from which man was created. It is also believed that there are seven skies or heavens, so it features more than once there.

Seven Noahide Laws – and the Jewish faith too with the Noahide Laws, although it is said there may have only been 6 originally, but today we find ourselves with seven.

Seven Anunnaki – within the ancient histories of the Sumerians and around the Mesopotamia region the religions had deities called the Anunnaki, seven in fact, who reside within the Underworld and serve as judges of humanity.

I’m sure there are others, and many possible reasons for it, or possibly no real reason at all anymore. Time and change moving on our thought processes and starting points for such reasoning. Pieced together from fragments of ideas or occasionally ‘evidence’, sometimes with very little or no context. So, we do the best we can with what we’ve got, but you can’t deny, it does seem like we are missing an awful lot…

Trees

Banyan Tree – A really cool tree, apparently originating in India but has found its way to Florida and Hawaii. Three places really not that close to each other, so we can presume that someone was involved in that perhaps, or the wild theory could be that all those landmasses were in fact joined once, and the only tell-tale sign of solid evidence of that being the flora and fauna. But because we have a crafty way of just saying we took it with us, it can never be proven. And to be fair, they often can cite the exact person and time they took it, but you would need to be specific for that, so people don’t give it any further thought. Also interesting as a tree as it’s known as a strangler fig, which is a tree known for invading other species and treating them as a host, taking hold well above ground and spending the first half of its life not rooted to the ground at all they say. The largest of these is in Florida, which I have actually seen myself, and it is impressive I will admit.

Yew Trees – native to these islands and known for their appearance in graveyards in the UK, apparently because they ‘thrive on the dead’ as it’s said. It being suggested that they absorb the vapours produced by putrefaction. They are also quite heavily steeped in mythology too they say.

Easter Island – no trees for a time, or so we are told. The story being that they chopped down all the trees and then couldn’t build boats or something, and ended up trapped there. With skirmishes, sea voyagers visiting and massive stone carved heads that are speculated upon.

Baobab Trees – these are pretty awesome trees too with a very distinctive look, but perhaps are another clue towards landmasses of the past, where it is already suggested through animals and geology that they were once joined, in the ideas of Pangea and Gondwana. Although I have wondered about it being a joined land in more recent times, and perhaps the ideas of flooding and land levels being susceptible to change could have played their part in the rearrangement or splitting of landmasses. But these trees are native to mainland Africa, Madagascar, and Australia, so make of that what you will. Their extra skill other than just being a tree, is that it can hold vast amounts of water, and is a lifeline for many where it grows.

No trees grow above a certain altitude, and obviously they don’t grow underwater either – although can survive being quite submerged for a time. Mangroves being the exception to this. But almost as though trees are a gauge of an environment and how well it can sustain life, all forms of it. We also can’t survive above a certain limit, or live underwater, and require certain conditions to thrive and reproduce, and it does seem that where we have trees, it’s easier for us to live and thrive than where we do not. Or at least that is how it appears. We can make do in deserts, but it’s not ideal. Add a bit of tree coverage or some foliage generally, and suddenly you have shade and an opportunity for a more elaborate ecosystem to develop. Limited ecosystems means limited opportunity for growth, but survival is possible of course.

They are easily seeded, by way of their own mechanisms and various animals and birds helping this along, and to spread then further. And they reproduce, they develop ecosystems, they help to clean the air and hold the environment together, literally in most cases, finding that once tree clearances occur, often flooding and landslides will follow in the years thereafter. They manage the land, have respect for each other while growing and filter what is around them as best they can. Think of all the apocalyptic scenes they like to show you in films, baron wastelands, dead stalky trees looking bleak and hopeless to signify no life or hope. But if you suddenly add a few tall, green and healthy trees, it doesn’t look so bad does it?

Nineteen Eighty-Four Ever

That dysfunctional societal model that is being pushed, and day by day they scramble for the contracts, laws and regulations to make it so. The Ministry of Monitoring getting ready to be legally involved in your most intimate online communications and daily routines. Like they weren’t already, but now it’s out there for everyone to see and be aware of. That’s what they meant by transparency, not so you get to know about or stop wrongdoings and know what all levels of society are doing. And by exposing the worst of it, helps to encourage people to call for their own censorship and monitoring. Perhaps thinking that for the sake of stopping the bad, we all have to be monitored and give up freedoms.

It meant they would be transparent about taking away your rights, and that you no longer have a say in anything corporate or democratic. Knowingly allowing them to take them away because they told you it was for ‘the greater good’. And to be honest, it kind of looks now that it was all an illusion of democracy and freedom that was in place. Where they led us all down a merry path, and hardly anyone noticed the twists and turns blindsiding and distracting us until we find ourselves here. A dead end of war, greed and ideological wants.

An almost startling breakdown of what once was has occurred in what appears to be a very short time span, and those who used to appear to serve the public, very clearly no longer do. I find it strange that while showing they are no longer competent, they continue to wield power. When you all know someone has no authority or power in real life, but everyone pretends and perpetuates the delusion. I can see very much why people likened it all in the beginning to The Emperor’s New Clothes.

And this is why perhaps stories, Fairy Tales and other sayings and metaphors stay with us through generations and centuries. To remind those who face strange, perilous, dark and unsavoury times or people, that others have been there too. In a situation of their time of course, but the general threads of observations and realisations sometimes are not time specific. Being relatable even after hundreds of years, because the general greed of tyranny and the power hungry enslavers, is also timeless and runs seamlessly through the ages. Until now. It seems as though the seams are splitting as they try and pull it together, and the whole ugly bag is looking like its going to collapse and disintegrate. And of course, I have already wondered how much of the ‘entertainment and propaganda’ over the decades is there to help program you towards their goal in Prepped for Disaster, or Clever Programming? But that is a double edged speculation of course, because while it may be they create the mental landscape required for a certain level of acceptance. It can be used to create a hesitancy and fear against something which ultimately may be good, steering you away from the ideas of advancement, because you think it means enslavement.

But whatever the methods and techniques used to achieve the sleeping masses for decades, you can’t deny it seemed to work. Slowly infiltrating each aspect of people’s lives, being part of your life ‘from cradle to grave’ as they put it. Doesn’t sound so friendly, helpful and benign anymore does it now? Not once you know how much money you can generate for ‘the system’ throughout that journey, covered in What Are We Worth? Being able to educate, feed and heal yourself means they are not involved, at all, hence why we seem to now have a staggering amount of rules and laws to limit people’s ability to be outside of that system. All the institutions are there to take away responsibility from you, and to then be responsible for you in whichever way they see fit. And you can see if you look around, how many people are still looking to someone or something for guidance, as they have been trained to – even still not quite being able to fully extract themselves from thinking they are there to help. Expectations need to be updated, and quickly, because what was no longer is and a new way is coming. It’s just looking a bit precarious of what that might actually be.

A World Within A World

Currently we are led to believe that ‘they’ are trying to herd us into confined areas and ‘smart cities’. Designed to keep us controlled within a controlled environment, taxing us per breath and movement in the not-so-distant future. Being an obsessive and stalky parent type jailor, but with a vampirish overtone, constantly wanting you to volunteer and comply of your own accord. Handing yourself and your bloodline over for sacrifice. Leading to there then being separate worlds within the world, which to a point we already have. Certain countries not entirely open to the whole world, countries that had previously been shut off or restricted as we are told. And there is even speculation if you follow the crater earth / bigger earth theory, that there is more land than we have been told about, so could be countless other ‘countries’ or lands. Operating alongside us to a certain degree, but just as unaware as we are. And if you think out a bit further, it could easily be speculated that if we are in a contained environment as with the firmament idea or as a globe in a larger universe, then we are just a world within a world anyway.

And as an extra layer, we are often said to have our own world’s going on in our heads as well, again being a world within a world, but a separated and detached one from outside. So far, your thoughts and ideas and processes in mind are hidden from external view, and still seem to be quite the mystery, yet we function adequately. Perhaps we are also disconnected from something else too, something external to us and where we are. I sometimes give thought to what Oppenheimer said about being the destroyer of worlds, as many have, wondering what was truly meant by it. And what world was destroyed if any, ours? Another world? Or perhaps it was a connection to something that was broken, leading us down a dark path. Although, it is entirely possible we were always on that dark path and have been prone to what we call the ‘human condition’ for the longest time.

There is another idea though, I guess I touched upon in The Bit In Between and Cities in the Sky. Of the idea that there are different levels, or realms perhaps above and below us, that we are between worlds of sorts. Maybe that’s why we have stories of purgatory, feeling as though we are trapped between the living and dead somewhat, and maybe we are. The ‘dead’ underneath us, and a different level of ‘alive’ above, perhaps. The Underworld and Heaven becoming the mythological fantasy versions of them, but maybe they started as other stories of wonderous cities in the sky, and terrifying caverns down below. Each with their own lifeforms and histories, just as we have in ours. Yet somewhere along the line, they became intermingled, possibly a catastrophe engulfed or affected all three and the ‘borders’ became somewhat blurred for a time, or things that were never meant to be seen became visible. Giving rise to new theories, ideas and speculations, just as we have these days. Or of course, it could just be that we as humans are merely at the mercy of our imaginations and our ability for deception, both towards other people and ourselves, makes it easy for our minds to find their way to mischief. But you never know, it may be within madness and mischief we find the answer, so I believe I shall keep looking…
