A side piece that came from my article Seven Again.
While reading through the Mayan seven cave myth, a picture caught my eye, and of course the reason for the cave myth. Called Chicomoztoc – The Place of Seven Caves, they say it is where they believe humans emerged from. Then going on to say that the caves are merely a representation of the human body and its orifices, and signifying the womb. And that may well be, but the picture made me think of another recent post I did, about cabbage patches. Yes, it’s one of those types of articles, and a further speculation on the idea in A Train Of Thought.
Because that too mentions certain peoples emerging from caves. But in a whimsical, fictional setting of a strange cave in the Georgia Mountains, which I have already speculated being connected to the other Georgia Mountains which happen to be named The Caucasus Mountains. I likened it to the word Caucasian, and the wild idea that is where white people emerged from, and the tale has been twisted and rewritten, the names repurposed and scattered away from the source. Perhaps. But the fictional tale around the first one mentioned, is that babies were grown in cabbage patches, then placed with the family they were meant to be with, or who purchased them I guess.
Strange that we have various tales like that, like the stork bringing them down from above, or that they grow in reeds, or can just be cultivated in gardening patches. I have also wondered about an alternative growth process for our species, in a fictional sense of course, in my short story – In the Mountain. And looked at what methods they talk of for the future of breeding in Pod Life and Pod Life 2. All quite disturbing and should be fiction, but isn’t. There are many creation myths thought that talk of different peoples or races emerging from the underground, of different species even appearing when needed as saviours and keeping people safe underground until the surface became habitable again. Now, if that were true, and part of a cycle, it would explain why periodically people would come up from what appeared to be underground. And if there was a significant gap between being down there, and those left at the surface who may have survived, could that be enough to consider them from underground? I have my other theories about what may have gone on down there in my articles In The Old Underground and One Thing Leads to Another.
And we do indeed have great empty and abandoned underground cities, and sites which appear to have had purpose, although evidence of actual people dwelling in them isn’t so forthcoming. Only the ideas around it. And there is a strange theory I have forming, of tying together all the other theories, how they could all work and be true at the same time, flat and round earth, the firmament, the ice wall, space, disasters set on a timer coming to pass when they are meant to. It could all be part of the same mechanism, like a watch and all its component pieces, ticking round to the big moment where it resets the clock to start the process over. And maybe that’s what happens to us, people, the world and civilisation.
Each time there is a cataclysm, it gets reset and it’s a race against time to uncover the truth of what came before, find the clues and what was left behind after the last events, searching the skies, land and seas for it. To find the source and stop what at first seems to be inevitable, or maybe not to stop it, could be to try and harness it, or change it, feeding stories and a fabricated history to people so they will never know the truth of how it came to be, and why it gets destroyed and reset every time. Because it was going to whether people are here or not, whether they are bad or not, whether they know or not. It seems we are all bound by the same fate, even if that is just time and mortality chasing us down, but perhaps there really is something bigger working to a clock, and we just happen to be on it…
A system of legal ownership over something or someone. Funny really to think that in order to ‘rightfully’ take things from people, you first have to tie them into the same definition and system of ownership as required.
Land agreements for example, they seem to be about fair apportionment, or dividing up something so people can ‘own’ it. Swiftly followed by ‘legal’ means to take it from you. All sorts of things this applies to where there is a certificate, or deed, or treaty. By signing into their ownership scheme, you then fall foul of their ‘ownership’ enterprise. Where It becomes about a Monopoly, rather than fair and free trade, but people wouldn’t have fallen for it so easily if the words fair and free meant just that. But under that guise, it became unfair and heavily restricted, regulated and a ruthless conglomerate gradually swallowed and crushed any competition or complaint. My article The Digital Doomsday Database looks at that a bit, and why it was they started compiling data on who, when, what and how much for more than just tax purposes.
And the thing is with ownership, if someone doesn’t think they own anything, you might think it’s easy to just come and take it away from them, and in a way that is correct. But, with no sense of ownership, how exactly is it that you make them then recognise it is yours once you decide that? You see, there needs to be a two way understanding for ownership to work, otherwise it doesn’t. This is where I find the new phrase being touted for the future of consumerism and sustainability, which we all must be familiar with by now. You will own nothing and you will be happy. And in principle, I can see how that might work, and maybe did once upon a time. Because owning nothing and being happy only really works if everyone owns nothing, and doesn’t want to own anything. Being possessive over things and driven by desire for more seems a trait some in society say they want to get rid of, while doing it on a grand scale. So make of that what you will.
But a personal sense of ownership is important I feel, not for material things and money, but for yourself. As it may well be that while you are distracted by things, and how much you have, someone is installing ownership over you and your personhood. It’s not just land, money and food that is up for grabs in the corporate play unfolding, people are a massive commodity and always have been. What they can do, what they can offer and how much a person and family actually generates for the system throughout their lives is probably more than we would like to think. Give thought to how much they interfere from birth to death, and how much money is made from both of those things and each step in between. And they make you think you actually cost money for them to ‘look after you’, which they then take from your slave wage contract you were taught to believe was a choice. Groomed from birth to be part of that system of worker for your whole adult life. Shunned and treated as an outcast if you chose to not take part, and things then put in place to make it harder and harder for people to choose an alternative. Telling you it’s your choice but only giving you one option kind of thing, and hounding you if you then pick the one that doesn’t give them a very intimate control over your life. Threatening legal action, and financial penalties upon you as a professional tantrum, making it appear to everyone that it is ‘for your own good’, and sadly many people have fallen for that over the centuries.
But learning to own yourself before material things is important, and understand who may want ownership over you. There are many institutions in place to tie you in by way of contract and legal agreement, to keep you beholden to the system and constantly having to come back. They own you. You’ve heard that phrase before haven’t you? But do people give thought to who is the owner, and who is the owned? It may that they are trying to break down someone’s personal sense of ownership over themselves and their possessions, because now the need has switched from Consumerism as we knew it, and moved into the ugly phase of us truly being the product as mentioned in The Mark of The Beast. All they want you to ‘own’ is debt, so they can say yes, no, jump higher and so forth. But their weakness appears to be that sense of ownership, because without it, no-one would care if you were trying to show off with more. So they need you to want to own money and things, so they can own you…
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…
