The bit in between. A world between worlds of sorts. A double layer firmament to add to my speculations in Breaking the Ice.
With a play on words and things as we know them being possible truth within lies, I considered the following; is the ‘vacuum of space’ real after all? Now, I ask that question from the position that space as we have been taught it is a lie and therefore doesn’t exist in that capacity. But could within a different belief system of a dome covering the earth or our enclosure. I’ll try and explain what I mean, as even though the idea of real space is not possible in my theories, I can see how using those words and the concept of it, they could be telling of a gap of space between the first and second layer of the firmament or dome we reside in. An area that is above us. Making me think of that saying we have for when we have massive rain storms, they say ‘the heavens have opened’. And for the longest time, I gave that saying no extra thought, until you start to wonder about the idea of huge biblical floods, and why we might refer to heaven being ‘up there’.
Double rainbows – I’m amazed I didn’t come to this theory earlier to be honest, even mentioning double rainbows and the idea that rainbows are a reflection of the firmament in my article Rainbows. But could it be that the double rainbow effect is more special than I thought, and only occurs when two layers of the firmament are reflecting perhaps. (Being entirely possible that there are more layers, as above, so below, and all that.
Eclipses – perhaps as they pass in their different layer of sphere, there is a crossing of paths as it were, appearing as an eclipse. And the odd video or photo you see of what looks to be clouds behind the sun, or of the sun setting into the clouds. Coming down through that different atmosphere which isn’t as clear as ours down here where the air is invisible.
And I wondered further after seeing a picture of a simple density tower, because it is a version of what I had imagined in my head for the layers of our realm. If you are unfamiliar with it, it’s just a tube holding various types of liquid to show how they sit on top of each other and can hold different objects within those layers, depending on their weight. In my mind, us being the bolt at the bottom of the stack, in honey. Heavy and thick, not able to float. Makes me think of when I have used the phrase towards a muggy day, saying it’s like ‘wading through treacle’. But it also shows how there can be a bottom layer with all others layers sat above us, even holding objects within them, and if you change the liquids in the density tower from things like oil, soap, milk and honey to different liquids, ones that perhaps shimmer (stars), or create the aurora, and show us a display through another layer of vapour, or water, or ice. Different densities and humidities of air and water and possibly something else that I haven’t thought of yet. It’s still in the early stages of an idea at this point, with more thought to come on it I’m sure.
During a conversation about the theory of dimensions, thought, imagination, the simulation hypothesis and the creation of existence, a thought occurred to me and a film came to mind to represent the thought (as does happen).
The Neverending story (1984) – not the whole film as such, but the culmination of the adventure, of the realisation that the world of Phantasia and everything they knew, was disappearing into nothing. Because thought and imagination were no longer feeding it from the ‘real world’. And when The Nothing had consumed all in its path and stripped it all back to just darkness, a name had to be called and it stopped. Remaining was one grain of sand. Just one. And from that grain of sand, the whole world was created with imagination. It was thought into existence. My piece Creating a nightmare reality going into an angle on that).
Atem – this leads on from the last point rather well and is what I thought of next. “Atem is the primordial god in Egyptian mythology from whom all else arose”. A god who thought or spoke himself into existence.
And although I have mentioned Atem and this next paragraph of info in my piece Is it really the machines we should fear? I think it ties into the idea of consciousness, and what we perceieved as an existence at this point in reality.
“Tulpa or Tulpamancy – “is a concept in Theosophy, mysticism, and the paranormal, of an object or being that is created through spiritual or mental powers”.
So says Wikipedia. But it’s an odd concept and instantly made me think of when some children have imaginary friends, and they are told it’s fictional. Weird that when adults do it, it’s a real thing. But not acceptable for all, because it does seem that there is discussion whether the whole Tulpa thing is real, spiritual and paranormal, or just a sign of loneliness and mental illness.
But the concept that everything we know as the universe, where and how it began and the start of existence could have been just a thought is an interesting one. And they do say, it all starts with an idea…
It seems as though initially, they used women against men, to bring them down a bit and get them to ‘know their place’ just like we had done to us. Women took the bait and went for ‘equality’ despite knowing we are different. Now, in a twist to the tale, it seems that the tables have turned again, and now men are being used against women (and men), with the twist being that it is a handful of men portraying what they perceive to be a representation of what it is to be a woman. Not actually a woman, but an exaggerated commercial parody of one. Quite perverse really. And aside from the comedic way they try to paint it, it’s quite disturbing how so many of the monopoly companies have decided all at the same time to change their branding with who they have chosen, and not many, just one face for it all. These companies don’t do things without a heavy amount of psychological research and marketing beforehand. So, knowing it will make headlines, but damage sales they have gone ahead – strange trade-off for a ‘business’ trying to appeal to an extremely small section of society. And all the other places where they are trying to shoehorn men into is odd too, making sure they win women’s awards, sports, get their jobs and statuses – even now talking of implanting wombs into men (or taking people out the growing process altogether covered in my article Pod Life 2). All the while laughing and joking about it, finding it amusing to downplay women’s concerns. But I believe these concerns should be shared by both, because it’s a weird project they seem to have running with trying to balance it all out by creating one A-gender, sounds awfully like agenda doesn’t it?
And there has been speculation over the years, that the encouragement of letting women go out to work and them being ‘given rights’ was all a ruse and a cover, for a purpose with a few layers to it. Firstly, you can instantly increase the workforce and can gather more taxes and money from people. Secondly, you start to change the family dynamic and draw women away from the household, and thirdly, you change the mindset of individuals and the overall social group. Like I said above, there is a level of difference between men and women that we had mostly accepted as a collective. That women get pregnant and have children, men cannot although are half the equation in being the ones who impregnate women. That there are strength differences between the two and varying levels of hormones which affect day to day function and throughout our lives. I honestly thought we had accepted that and wanted to maintain what we knew, and improve upon it to make it all better and brighter.
But no. It seems we are taking a rather strange path instead, where instead of celebrating our differences and embracing our individual selves within that, they appear to be trying to blur the lines. And to some it seems as simple as someone just trying to ‘be themselves’, which to me seems ironic as it literally involves trying to be someone else, so not your authentic self then? I thought part of life was about trying to work out who you were, and being accepting of that. Warts and all as they say. But if you are constantly changing yourself to fit what you think is acceptable to society (and by society I mean all the angles of it which includes friends, family and media too), then how are you ever going to know who you were meant to be? And it is harsh that the society I speak of, is the one who sets up restrictions, boundaries, ideals and expectations in people’s lives and families, so they weren’t or aren’t able to just be themselves. However, being yourself is now being wielded as a weapon, and to be honest, it kind of always was, just in different ways. Told to be confident, said it comes across as aggressive or as a know it all, encouraged to succeed, oh but don’t gloat about it, otherwise others will think you are rubbing it in their face. It’s a hard line to walk sometimes, social etiquette, standards and rules of engagement are different in amongst the people, and not quite as easy as they would have you think. Online makes it seem so cut and dry, think this or you get accused of thinking that, support something, or you are viewed as against it. Like the saying goes, just because I like apples, does not mean I hate oranges. And just because I might hate something or have a dislike for it, doesn’t mean I want everyone else to stop liking it either. That would seem like an odd validation requirement for something that should be personal and not involve anyone else, and that could be said of a few things in society too.
What people used to refer to as ‘behind closed doors’ is now a grey area for many. Because while things do literally and metaphorically still happen behind closed doors, much of it from certain people is shared online, making it public and in the social arena, whether you are well known or not. People willing to air their dirty laundry, share their opinions, dislikes and what I guess they deem as the information they want people to know at that time. Just an online version of a pub in a small town (but with a much bigger population and ‘audience’ to your life), where there would always be some folk who would love to chat about their drama in the pub, trying to get everyone to listen, or be interested, or involved. Others would just happily come and go about their business, mingling a bit and leaving. Others just being normal, drinking and laughing and utilising the chance to unwind. But people who were the first type, liked to dominate the room, the crowd, the vibe and demanding the attention. With a reaction when not getting what is required, either a tantrum, a lie, an emotional breakdown or whatever it takes to get that validation and boost. Sure, it’s nice when someone likes what you do, but why would you need people to constantly like who you are, when most people can’t possibly know who you are. And many seem to be struggling with knowing themselves, so to then expect others to know you, is just a bit of a reach in my opinion. So, although those closed doors I mentioned are now not so closed, it’s like glimpsing in through a crack in the door, or catching five minutes of someone’s day or feelings, but it isn’t just any five minutes or an accidental moment, it’s deliberate and for purpose mostly. People choose what they share currently on social media, and although they may have a lapse in judgement, or vent something more personal than they wished they had, mostly they share and say what they want you to see and hear, so you will know what they want you to know.
Meandering back to the start of the article, it seems to me that the differences between women and men, are being very much intermingled with feelings of identity, but without discussing some of the real points as to why people have felt so confused. Or misplaced within society. It’s not accidental in my mind, people are meant to be confused and looking for ‘help’ to find themselves. It’s what groomers thrive on and then they can offer to help with that, and when I say groomers, I am referring to government here and the authorities that decide programs and structures of society. We all have our own experiences growing up and of working out who we are meant to be, alongside the construct and stereotypical expectations of society shaping that. Which is why I call them groomers, as I do think we have all been groomed to behave in a certain way, and give them what they need. Men and women used against each other, just as boys and girls are, to keep it all not so harmonious, to keep the flames of greed, jealousy, competition and desire burning brightly. But it seems not enough for them anymore, they have the means and the will to turn people against themselves and will use every trick in the book to exploit people’s weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Being who you are is now more important than ever, and sometimes we just need a bit of time and space to work out who that is…
Remember the TV show Quantum Leap? I used to thoroughly enjoy watching it, the funny yet poignant tasks Sam had to complete each time. Just trying to find that final leap to get home, and I guess, be himself?
But I thought of it again recently, in relation to dreams. Thinking although you might remain as you (some people are themselves and sometimes not in dreams I suspect), you are transported to different places, and times. And as we don’t actually know what happens when we dream, or where our consciousness wanders to if it is indeed away from our physical realm, who can say for sure?
Dreaming and sleep have been the subject of many studies and experiments, so is of interest to ‘the establishment’ in some format. Yet I wonder about the distinction between what we know as awake or asleep, the conscious and subconscious hours of our lives. Slipping in and out of worlds and states of being on a consistent loop. And in that, is it possible that we either create realms with the ideas and thoughts of dreams? Imagination Land episodes spring to mind from South Park. My article Creating a nightmare reality, covers that angle a bit.
Or, the other possibility. That there are things already existing on the ‘other side’, which can potentially gain access to us and our thoughts through sleep. And maybe, just sometimes for some people, they aren’t confined to the hours of slumber. Could be that some follow people back, once they have been disturbed and become ‘attached’. Are we sure that when we wake we leave where we were? And are we so sure that once we do wake, have we awoken to reality, or just another layer of a dream. Like the film inception depicted.
People write of terrifying things lurking in thoughts, dreams, ideas, other dimensions and times. Many people. Is it just an idea that hints at a darkness in ourselves, that the dream world allows to run wild? Or it is already something running wild, waiting to become part of someone’s thoughts, searching out a ‘host’ for its psychological torment and access to the physical realm? Quite possibly it is none of that, and while we sleep there is just a jumble of electrical signals forming strange and vivid ‘performances’ of life and experience which some people then imprint and retain knowledge of. Maybe they are for purpose and hold meaning, or maybe, it is just sleep and they really are just dreams…
