What Separates Us?
Colour has been used to separate us in society and be weaponised as a point of divide, in fact, that seems a rather arbitrary difference to focus on, but as it’s one we can instantly access, it does feature in our conditioning. Ideals, traditions, culture, language, education, knowledge, and personality all vary from people to people. Making the world a far more interesting place than it would be if we were all the same, like those little boxes we once sung about.
But the growing issue of what is known as multiculturism is cause for concern from many quarters. The mass importation of unknown people’s being strategically placed for maximum disruption has raised more than just eyebrows. And the problem gets distorted, and becomes the old xenophobic argument of ‘go home’ and ‘you’re not British’ etc. Some of us are only three generations away from immigrants, so I’m not sure how ‘British’ many people really are, or what scale they are using to determine what qualifies anyone in that. And once you have enough people from a differing viewpoint, doesn’t that then change the current viewpoint of the majority to then be the prevailing attitude? How long did it take us to become what we are today referring to as ‘our way of life’?
I was brought up to be accepting of other cultures and people, and judge them on their character, actions and heart, not by the colour of their skin. But as you get old you start to realise that isn’t actually how it works in the real world. I attended mostly white schools growing up, but my mother spent some childhood years in Africa, and married someone of Pakistani descent in the UK when I was a child, so we didn’t have an average household set up. My first proper lesson in racism came thereafter, because he was in the armed forces and was refused promotion because of his colour. My teachers couldn’t seem to pronounce my surname correctly because it was foreign, even after they were told, and it wasn’t a hard one either. But it was noticeable to me, that we were treated differently just by extension, so I started to understand there was a problem. Witnessed in a different way when I worked in south London in a factory for a few weeks a long time ago. A very odd feeling going on in there with half of the staff being white and English, and the other half being Indian, and none of them mixed. At all. Apart from the weird racist banter now and again – but while on the line, the Indian women would speak Punjabi, and at lunch time they would sit together and talk. And because I was white, it was expected that I would sit with the same colour as me and go along with it all. I did not last there for very long, as it was just too weird, but again, showed me just how separated people wanted to be sometimes. On both sides.
The problem of integration isn’t a new one, and is not colour specific at all, and you really can’t force it. When I moved to Spain for a couple of years, I hadn’t quite comprehended how much the ‘English’ group together, and stick to what they know. And if you don’t speak the language (which I don’t), then you end up being a bit of a fish out of water, even though the locals are as helpful as they possibly can be, it must be quite an imposition to have to deal with us. Just as we have to deal with others. But tourism was the golden ticket to make people put up with it and encourage it, having people from elsewhere constantly passing through, turning up and being around, and you would make money from that imposition. But this new drive of people movement is breaking down so many things and destabilising what was already in place and working. Employment, housing, education, health, tourism and travel, all things that have been gradually eroded and replaced by ideas and ideals of no-one having anything, everyone being everywhere and no-one being allowed to do anything. Everyone is being used against each other, weaknesses and vulnerabilities exploited and opportunism being exposed and utilised to maximum effect.
No wonder people are getting fed up and frustrated (and that’s putting it mildly), because no-one can plan, get on or move on – instead being held in a strange state of limbo, holding your breath and waiting. For the next law, the next rule and regulation, the next stupid idea to bankrupt your present and future, and to completely corrupt what is. And all for… what exactly?

Pyrite
It seems we have an abundant supply of raw materials in the form of minerials, forming a wonderful array of substances we can then convert into other things. Nature and time working together on some very spectaular projects. One of my favourites, probably because like many people, seeing and learning of it as a child captivated me. Known as Fool’s Gold so of course, you see it and think it’s gold, but when I learnt it wasn’t real and just nature creating a ‘mock’ version, the special feeling I got when I looked at it didn’t go away. So, although it’s value may not be high in monetary terms, what it is still has value to me. And in practical terms it is used to make batteries, radio receivers, and paper they say in industry, so is of some value in the commercial world.
It turns out though, there are a number of different types of pyrite, which I didn’t know until I started researching for this piece, and interestingly, most of them do not occur in overlapping regions. Apart from one it seems, Russia. That lists two of the know types, but all the others appear to be geographically very specific. The main types are –
Sun disk pryite – only found in the US, specfically only in the region of Illinois.
Rainbow pyrite – only found in Russia
Octahedral pyrite – this is found in Peru, Mexico, Ontario and Canada.
Pyrite iron cross twins – found in Germany, Italy, Slovenia and Colombia.
Pyrite nodules – forming over millions of years, found in China, Russia, Turkey, Wales and chalk cliffs.
Pyritised Ammonite – only seems to be found in the UK, at Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Stonebarrow. I have actually been to Charmouth myself fossil hunting a number of years ago, and found quite a few which I have to say, was super exciting. The picture below is one of my finds that day.
It’s another of those interesting things that geology throws up or we ‘discover’ it, and then we take it further to uncover what it is, work out how it formed and ultimately, what we can turn it into.

Where It Leads
A projected path for an idea, where the end goal may not seem apparent at first. And where the series of chess moves would need to take place, as mentioned in my article Opposition, to create the stage needed to reach that conclusion. And with my thought process and line of questioning and often pessimistic view, I see things that although initially appear unconnected, they seem to have their place in the overall idea.
This one in particular started by seeing the recent debacle over access to women’s toilets and changing facilities within the NHS. And it was a comment towards that stating that it would put off many women wanting to be nurses, knowing they would face such a strange and potentially hostile work environment. And after that, someone mentioned the Letby case as another example of why people might not want to be nurses. Both recent things that have thrown nurses to the forefront and placed them very much in the public eye.
But before those two incidents, I had wondered how they might try and phase people out of working in the medical profession. There is a completely new business model being discussed using AI instead of people, with spawning pods (mentioned in Pod Life and Pod Life 2), med beds, Death Pods and a completely monitored existence in between. That does not require the old structure, or the people who are so very experienced in it, because it does seem rather odd how in many professions, they are removing people of vast experience and replacing with what appears to be not just inexperience, but complete ineptitude. Almost as if they are trying to collapse industries rather than revamp them, especially noted with the very strange DEI makeover they pushed, but really that seems to have been the code for any industry they want to DIE, a slow and lingering death in the eyes of the public. See, they will say, it wasn’t fit for purpose after they have ruined it, neatly paving the way for their ‘new idea’ or whatever they have been programmed to push.
But people are right when they ask, why would anyone train to do that now? And that can be said of law enforcement, education, health, politics (although that seems to be a very well paid gravy train, so I know why that attracts the ilk that it does), and any of those Institutionalised areas they control us with. And after recent moves to use those industries to try and coerce people into certain intrusive procedures, it stands to reason they should be in the spotlight. Because while people still try to gain access to these institutions, I can’t help but ask myself why? What education do they offer that now seems appealing? What future benefit does it carry to enter their training and conditioning systems? Is there any security in that now when they can drop you like a stone or throw you under the bus in a heartbeat? And do you question what type of Security that used to bring and how it has now altered? Thinking everything was as it should be, and that you had your place in it. And for some that is enough, to feel like you have a place and a purpose, working to get by, working to live, working to retire and just get on through relatively unharmed and content.
Times are changing at a rapid pace, and general thought processes towards things also needs an upgrade and a new perspective from people on the ground. Unfortunately, with all that is going on and being held over people in the forms of threats, fears and coercion, skews people’s thinking and means it is ever harder to formulate your own thoughts and feelings towards them. Because the propaganda machine works very hard to show you what it wants, to steer your ideals and infiltrate your choices so you think they are your own. Woman are definitely under a strange attack at the moment, and although I have looked at it from a certain angle in The Clothes Do Not Maketh The Man, I now believe it serves another purpose to focus on areas where women are employed or have a need for public services. Because they will either no longer be required in those workplaces, or it will be a scan in and scan out type of affair. Where again they use a vulnerability they know will always be there, a fear for their safety, talked about in A State of Mind, and Fear. And it is a real one, being weaponised, downplayed and mocked for the sake of some rather disturbing and narcissistic individuals. Almost the opposite of what used to occur, instead of telling women to be afraid and showing them why with horrifying images and details of terrible crimes and how they were at risk. We are being told not to be scared, and to ignore any instinctual warnings we may have to tell us otherwise. And like much these days, we have to work through it ourselves, and decide what we should be paying attention to and what to fear, because deep down, we know…

Liquid Red
Something that we all should be familiar with, red liquid. Our veins are filled with it, and it circulates throughout our system, dealing with pressure, cleaning, carrying instructions and a range of other functions to maximise our ability to not just live or survive, but to thrive. But there is another red liquid that seems to be mentioned now and again, and is they say completely mythical. I just presumed it was because of thermometers. That little blob of red mercury that sits there, being the gauge for you. Expanding as the temperature rises, increasing its height to reach its marker, and contracting again as it gets colder. But it turns out that is just dye added to the mixture to make it appear red, so it is possible that there is something you can mix with mercury to create that legendary red mercury, I wonder.
I have already done a couple of articles along the lines of the colour red being fairly important in certain areas, Seeing Red and A Trail of Blood. But the idea that there is something quite extraordinary yet natural, is an intriguing idea.
Teeth Mercury – we all know they put mercury in teeth (not the red liquid kind), and that at some point it was decided it wasn’t a good thing after all, and we changed to another substance for dentistry. But there are a few ways of looking at it from my view, firstly, that it was a simple project to slowly poison people or dull them enough so that they wouldn’t ‘act out’ as it seems fluoride is used for today. Secondly, it actually did improve capability and mental function in very small low doses, not enough to make you a genius, but enough to ‘bring you up to standard’ maybe in the overview – or that was a consequence that was not foreseen perhaps. Or thirdly, by having some kind of metal within the teeth, made it easier to ‘connect’ to people or control certain ones maybe as industrialisation swept through. I think of the bit on 12 Monkeys, where it is through the fillings in the teeth that messages are getting through. Just a thought.
Mummies – They say the myth of red mercury existing persists around mummies, as it’s known that cinnabar was used as colour for clothing and textiles, which contains mercury and therefore you would sometimes have a red liquid, or red still showing on clothing from it. And because it had mercury in it, it was still highly toxic after being sealed in a contained sarcophagus or box. I guess you can see where the stories and myths came about, but sometimes I wonder if they have a small shred of truth to them, and that we have just diluted and horrified the stories to deceive and distract. You never know.
Blade 2 – although in the movie it is blood shown as the red liquid needed to pour into the labyrinth to activate it, that could just be the inverted bit, and because we are so taken with the idea of vampires, we choose to think it’s blood that’s needed for something like that.
Star Trek (2009) – that red liquid featured in the storyline being called Red Matter, and had the capacity to create black holes.
The Philosopher’s Stone – that sought after piece from the very first Harry Potter series, the red gem stone, the elixir of life, looking very much a solid version of liquid red mercury, as do rubies and garnets and other red gemstones. But many have sought it over the centuries it appears, the first ancient Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first to rule over a unified China, and the first it seems to be noted as possibly dying from mercury poisoning. Believing that if you ingested it, it would give you immortality. Maybe that was because he only drank normal liquid mercury, and was not in possession of the ‘good stuff’ kept and hidden away by the alchemists of the time. Or, if it’s as easy as just adding red dye to fabricate the appearance of it, well, some opportunists might just do that. If their head was on the line perhaps.
But either way, flowing red liquid seems to be a feature of what keeps it all going. Within us, and inside the planet with flowing lava and molten rock, almost as if that is the blood of the planet while we have a more refined, and cooler version. And just like our own biological form appears to have an end, and we chase the mythical red liquid to extend our own personal existence, maybe there is an elixir for Earth as well, something that can renew and revive it to give it what we might call ‘a new lease of life’. And I guess that because the myth remains of there being such a substance, maybe the search continues…

B.O.T.S
Biological. Organic. Terrestrial. Specimen.
One of my thoughts began and has meandered a number of times since, musing and wondering. Thinking perhaps the tangents were separate ideas and keeping them for later. But it turns out they were part of the unfolding idea, one of those out there ones that I have reeled in, so I’ll try to explain it as best I can as its many ideas converging.
I wondered of our planet, hurtling through space in that corkscrew pattern we are told of, and the image shows. Suddenly seeing us as a planet spaceship, heading towards our ‘seeding point’. Not aware that we are the ‘life’ on its way being delivered by way of a watery rock called Earth. Destined to go through 10,000 generations before we get there, needing constant replication and huge numbers to ensure we make it. Maybe.
But after seeing the image I collected for this, I then thought of the imagery for sperms making their way to the final destination. That image is also featured here, with the egg looking quite like a sun, doesn’t it? Or is that just me seeing that?
Then something else came to mind, of hearing many people theorise that we are on the body, or cadaver, of something else. A speculation that we could be small creatures living on something else, like in its eyeball or something and not even know. Or that our rocks and geology are just petrified remains of huge creatures that now form our terrain.
But it’s talk of bots that kept coming back to my mind, the nanotechnology being discussed for use in the human body, and the idea of the mysterious ‘bots’ that swarm the internet apparently. By way of farms, no less, they say. Neatly using wording we are familiar with, to get us used to it.
Yet, as I see comparisons shown online of the Giza pyramids layout or the Mexican ancient cities, put next to computer circuit boards, it does look awfully similar. And our modern cities of structures, skyscrapers, and grids do look incredibly severe and mechanical. Similar to things being constructed perhaps in the human body, programmed with instructions to build.
Which then made me wonder if we are perhaps the original nanobots or Borgs, a mix of synthetic and organic. Inserted into or onto our host to build, develop, and function as a learning tech. But as with many experiments or technology, it’s reached its peak or gone horribly wrong. And where once there was a drive to survive, something else happens, and self-destruct is activated instead. Once a certain number is reached like in The Beautiful Mice, it all gets a bit weird…
