It all depends on perspective, as a situation can appear quite differently depending on your viewpoint and position in that situation. And sometimes a saying or analogy can be either viewed from a different angle, or mindset, which in turn gives it new meaning. There are many things over the years I have heard, and took them on board as their literal meaning, or intent as a phrase, not giving them closer thought until years later. Things like, once in a blue moon, when hell freezes over, under the weather, or things considered to be old wives’ tales or old beliefs. I pay more attention to them these days, as it seems often people have woven wisdom into analogies or phrases, to be passed down and kept in circulation, even if their original meaning isn’t always noticed. But this one is for an analogy, and one I have used myself in my book The Willing Observer, of the pot of water and the frog. The saying being that if you put a frog into boiling water, it will jump out being aware of the danger, but if you start the water cool, and slowly heat it up, it won’t notice and will boil to death. It’s simple and easy to grasp, and that is the only way I thought of it until today.

And it was a complete switch around for me of that analogy, where we are no longer the frog, and instead become the water, and the ones who dictate society became the frog. Who sat in the water of society for the longest time, creating their ideals and ways for the water to flow around them, calmly bathing and going about their froggy business. And it seems they are the ones who perhaps didn’t notice when the water starting getting agitated and starting to heat up, or perhaps they thought they could turn it back down again, who knows. But the idea that we are not the frog, and instead the people are the water heating up to boiling point, was suddenly a very clear one, and makes sense given how things are playing out at the moment.

But the idea that it is they who are unaware of what is really going on, does seem an interesting one, because although many don’t agree with how society is shaping up and the way it is being steered, I think it’s still almost a buckled comfort to think that someone is in control though, and even if it appears as chaos, they still want to believe that it’s organised chaos. Yet, as with water, we too are part of a collective, and moving freely and going with the flow is something we have in common with water. When that is halted or redirected it has an outcome. Think of a dam, and how it holds back a great volume of water, gathered and maintained, used for purpose, like us. But rivers and streams are able to flow and create their own path through nature, as we would too if we were able to, without having all the obstructions placed there by the authorities. Instead, any water that escapes the reservoir, seems to be siphoned into small pools and puddles, where it gets cut off and left to turn stagnant.

Yet water in large quantities with a path is incredibly powerful and can create a new landscape given the right circumstances and time. And that is how I think of society at the moment, that there is a huge body of water behind a dam that is starting to boil and there are small cracks appearing in the exterior of that dam. Little ones at first, as the water finds it and starts to flow, and then more, until it bursts and all that water that has been held back for the longest time, gets to move and go where it is meant to.

Be the water and not the frog.

It’s an insidious chain like many other things, but people ask the question of why so many seem to blindly seek ‘help’ for what seems to be a basic thing. Whether it be health, finance, education, or safety. And like with many things, it’s not just repeated generational conditioning. It actually needed real physical steps to encourage, entice, and ultimately force people to do it.

“Why would people go to the doctor for a cold?” Was the question I saw, and in itself it’s not the question that made me think, it was the answer. Of needing a sick note for an employer (and another answer of wanting attention, but that’s a different kettle of fish). And there it was, the tie in. Many people wouldn’t go to the doctor for many things, which is why that probably started, or people knew how to remedy lots of things back in the days before big pharma. But for work purposes, and to be paid while off being ill they required that extra middleman to ‘sign off’ on it, by signing you off. Of course, they’ll blame people being dishonest first, saying it’s to prevent fraud or people taking the piss. But as we see today, mass fraud is and has been facilitated for the longest time in the bowels of the establishment. They just wanted you to judge each other, and grass up each other, and ultimately make you think ill of the people around you. Distracting you from what you should really be concerned about and who is actually taking the piss.

But it’s a well-laid plan and trap, and appears that many people have tried to avoid, side-step or completely ignore the intrusive policies and procedures that have crept into most aspects of daily life. From the start to the end of it, ‘from cradle to grave’ as is their mantra. Requirements for health checks, jabs, screening, tests, education, rules and regulations to put your children through before they are even tall enough to go on a fairground ride. Institutions to put them into and comply with, and if you notice the weirdness, or try to go your own way, well, they invent laws and monetary fines to deal with that kind of individual responsibility or thinking. For the masses anyway, a few slip through the net fortunately.

Then come the labels to divide people up even more, to then be able to break them down and put them into ‘programs’. Social ones, medical ones, education ones, and so on, until you upgrade to corporate and industrial ones. Funnelling people into groups and avenues they wouldn’t normally be subject to. And it all ties back to you having to go, cap in hand, to the authorities and ask for help at some point. Not to your family, neighbour, friend or community, no, they get in the way of needing extra authority assistance. So, that has been slowly destroyed too, separating people and their mindset. They want all your time being monitored and accounted for (banking, data and tax), your personal history and belongings to be recorded (social security number and insurance). Your health and ills, even wanting to monitor you when in good health, just for ‘check-ups’ and ‘routine screening’.

All making money for someone along the line, but it also gets you in the system and into the swing of ‘checking in’ with your overseer so they can keep tabs on you. And as we know, once you’re in, the Hydra works very hard to keep you. Systems of health, education, debt and finance, more rules, laws and regulations to make sure you need them. Or at least to think you do. All the while those systems make it so you need them, because if you didn’t need them they wouldn’t exist, right? Convincing people they need those systems is paramount. Through infantilising, trauma and consistent propaganda, they have made people believe it is for more than just convenience we accept how it is, it’s necessity. Because it now seems as though it is more than convenience, for many people truly seem to believe that without government and the authorities, people would be worse off. As they are meant to, but from what we see now, that couldn’t be further from the truth…
