Every good story has at its core, a basis of truth. Commonly held truths help people relate to one another by giving us common knowledge to share and compare.

Stories are what happens when truth morphs, metamorphosises.

One truth might have dozens of different versions, repeated, embellished, simplified and altered by different narrators. When we hear a specific version of truth, repeated by many different sources, we tend to believe it, accepting it as The Truth.

The unchanged, unaltered story reinforces itself with each telling, until it becomes accepted. The Truth.

This story has at its heart, the core of a truth.

We have to guard our minds, protecting our versions of truth from the same truth containing small changes, possibly introduced deliberately, in order to sway our belief in a particular direction. To make us think in a particular way. To favour a specific version, the purpose of which we are ignorant.

Forget about beauty and all that, it’s just a misdirection, eye of the beholder stuff.

Analyse everything; consider, think deeply about everything you see on TV, read in the papers or hear on the radio. It’s a given that anything put on the internet by uncredited sources is a lie; false news, misdirection, propaganda, at best it’s conspiracy theory – but these stories can be entertaining, interesting and informative, especially when they have a core of common truth in them, surrounded by facts or factoids. The fallacy of ‘if this then that’. Deception comes in many forms.

We think the age of the Earth is vast, around 4.5 billion years, plenty of time for different species to rise to civilisation before that civilisation collapses into chaos. Many times over.

I’m reminded of the old archaeologist joke.

A group of archaeologists digging a site, come down, at thirty feet, to a streaky green layer. “Traces of copper! This civilisation had a telephone system!” they say.

Another group of archaeologists, digging nearby, dig down to a layer at fifty feet containing strands and tiny beads of silicates. “This civilisation communicated by fibre-optic cable!” they claim.

A group of archaeologists beside them keep digging and at a hundred feet down, come to a layer containing nothing. “This civilisation,” they exclaim, “had mobile phones!”

We know of course, because Darwin told us, that the further back in time we go, the closer to the chimp we get. Australopithecus – Lucy, and her contemporaries. They couldn’t possibly have been intelligent. Stories telling any other theory of evolution are banned; laughed at, ridiculed, called into question by orthodoxy and established tradition. By dogma around a kernel of truth.

The causes of societal collapse in antiquity are irrelevant, but I wonder. Is the mechanism of collapse similar for all of them? Manifestations of malign influence?

Many of the world’s oldest belief systems tell us of polarity in the Universe, in life, rendering down, at the most basic level, to positive and negative. Like the electrical system we all know about. This polarity seeks balance, see-sawing one way then the other, like a pendulum swinging back and forth. It makes sense to think if a force for good seeks to dominate, it has to overcome the force for chaos, and vice versa.

Whatever one person has, there will be another person wanting the same, and willing to take it. The most fundamental possession is personal freedom.

Somewhere in the lost past of this planet, a family grew, a family with the need to control everyone around them. These people were so weak and insecure, they needed control. Control gave them the false impression they were strong, not weak, especially when they could use other people to execute their wishes, in exchange for favours and protection from the family.

People in general are basically intelligent and use that to achieve their goals, fulfil their desires and meet their needs. Intelligence shows us that breeding with other intelligent people of like mind will lead, statistically, to intelligent offspring. Controlling the breeding of people around them, this family ensured, almost by accident, that no people were born with the intelligence to challenge them. This was the beginning.

Through travel; word of mouth, random encounters, droit du seigneur (In early medieval Europe, the right of droit du seigneur, contested by later historians, extended to the Parish Priest visiting and directing his flock. As detailed in ‘Montaillou. The Promised Land of Error’ by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie), observation and introductions, this family produced and, over generations, married into other families, producing dynasties. Wealthy, controlling dynasties we might, today, call royal. Born to control. Rule.

Since pre-Sumeria, these early dynasties have been long lived, producing more family than there are countries for them to rule. The first Egyptian Dynasty came out of Mesopotamia. Through a system of feuding and take-overs by local warlords, barons and earls, the control system stabilised leaving legitimate rulers in every country that mattered – those rich with natural resources.

These dynasties are still long lived and co-ordinated. Recognising themselves and their ilk by signs and iconography, they have preserved their own history, culture and identity, they have also concealed themselves and the influence they have on our world – which they now see as theirs. They are separate from the mass of humanity on the planet having had millennia of practice being what they have become.

Ruling effectively means giving populations figureheads with whom they can identify. The English Civil war is an example of the defeated king, his barons, earls and lords, promising to change; taking the civil war leaders away for talks, quietly slaughtering them and returning to the people with what is now our system of democracy. Our true controllers are never seen in public for what they are. One family dynasty on the planet is the most powerful; their name is known but they are never seen, never make headlines or media content. Figureheads change frequently but the orders they are given to implement and execute, do not.

Businesses have become the route to control in our time. Transnational corporations control much of our lives by dictating the services we will use. We know the figureheads of some of these corporate controllers. But the shareholders, owners and masters, often are other corporations, companies, businesses including international and private banks, private equity firms and all global organisations, about most of which, populations have no knowledge.

A business is an entity with rights and responsibilities defined and protected in law.

A business can develop its product/products to bring to market for the benefit of its owners and consumers/customers in order to make a reasonable profit. Fashion and trends are inventions of marketing departments. Companies never release a product from R&D without having the next three or four, or more models, ‘must haves’, ready for market. That’s why the latest model of anything is superseded soon after release.

But not all products make it to market. A few products may be multi-purpose, dual function and be dangerous to the health and well-being of the public. Or simply too useful for the developers.

The general public will never hear about many useful products invented by Research and Development departments of businesses large and profitable enough to employ R&D experts. Generally speaking, the larger the company, the more it will spend on product development. Some of these are requisitioned and nowadays, more likely, sold to Governments for national defence and national security, placing their use far beyond the citizenry who will learn about them when deployed against populations.

Ideas and products of R&D units in every company are jealously guarded secrets, protected as intellectual property.

Have you heard of the Hanebu? Developed, built and tested in Germany of the 1930’s.

The largest corporations on the planet, in every field of endeavour, spend billions of dollars, pounds or whatever is the local currency, inventing, developing and never releasing to the public, their products, technologies and ideas. Operating in strict secrecy bestows great power to the holders of technologies. Before his death in 1995, Ben Rich, the CEO of Lockheed Skunkworks, one of the biggest defence contractors on the planet, was asked how far ahead of the rest of humanity his company was in terms of technology. He replied with a smile, on camera, “We have the ability to take ET home.” Another answer to a similar question previously was, ‘Think of the cutting edge of technologies you are aware of. We are about 70 years beyond that.’ He died soon after.

Any group of people with advanced knowledge and technologies they refuse to share with the rest of humanity on the planet, are setting themselves apart from humanity. Such a group of people would be wealthy beyond imagination because of what they know, using the knowledge to enrich themselves, giving the transnational corporations they own even more to spend on R&D, control measures and narrative. These multi-multi billionaires can buy anything; world media, world water, world energy, countries – Anything.

This group of people are a Breakaway Civilisation, separate from the rest of the planet. The planets jailers. Holding humanity in contempt for being lesser.

The story of this breakaway civilisation is similar to the narrative of the Terminator movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger; on steroids, without Hollywood spin skewing the concluding emphasis.

You don’t have to like it. You don’t have to believe it. This is a story, like all others and you are free to put factual information together in a way that is acceptable to you, but I sincerely hope you enjoyed it.

Tell your own story about the myriad organisations with ‘Global’ in their titles.

We all value our times together with friends, most highly, especially when we’ve been sharing them for a long time, going into dark places we don’t normally illuminate or share with anyone. I know this is so, because of the degree of trust and mutual respect my friends share with me.

When we share painful memories, we do so more often than not because we need to. Supressing traumatic events and emotions causes them to grow, magnify and fester, damaging us as individuals in ways we can’t see. This finds its way to the surface of our consciousness in subconscious ways we don’t notice, but other people, those who have known us, see us behaving in ways incommensurate with who they have grown to know.

It’s important to release pain and anger, all those emotions we try to supress because we don’t want the world to know what’s going on inside, sharing these deep feelings safely, in a loving, caring, closed loop of friendship.

We feel a wide range of emotions when we explore and examine our deep selves, parts of our lives we don’t want to deal with, parts we shun out of fear of pain, but still they present themselves when the opportunity rises – whether we want them to or not. Our mental focus determines our emotions; when we place that focus on our traumas, we shine a light on them, seeing them, feeling them; when we face those emotions, we expose ourselves when we can’t handle their raw power. When in pain, the animal part of us wants to lash out, to somehow give that hurt away, as if making someone else hurt will relieve our own, trying to transfer our pain somewhere we might not feel it as acutely.

It can be difficult to change our focus, especially if the amygdala has overridden our self-control. This doesn’t mean we’ve failed for good. Only for now. Time is the great salve but some wounds are so deep it takes a lot of time to salve them. Accepting that, it doesn’t matter if we break down every now and again, it shows our loved ones, those closest to us, that more time is needed. It also tells US as we break down that, yes, no need to get angry about our loss of control, WE need more time.

Fear is one of the most powerful drivers of human activity and if humans are kept in a state of perpetual fear, they are easy to control. One fear is that of death; there are truths needing to be revealed about the human condition, to help people overcome some of their fears. I have been asking people what their concept of death is, for a while now. Not only close friends, but anyone I know who has suffered recent loss and trauma. It was often fresh in their minds but they answered honestly and openly. I was fascinated by the responses. I felt truly sorry for the pain I caused, but that regret is tempered by what I learnt, saw and felt from these lovely people. Asking about death and bereavement generally, I’ve been getting intellectual responses to the question of death and the thereafter, or standard Christian responses. The emotional responses I heard were humbling. And so revealing. Rather than tackling an issue head on, as I always do unless sense prevails, I watched as people deflected their emotions and responses into other areas, away from themselves, what I learned to call ‘the snowplough effect’. Clearly demonstrated, time and again. Under not much pressure, people, justifiably didn’t want to tackle the emotive issue. I learnt something deep and unintended about them; and life, bereavement and death. Something of great value, helping me cope with life here.

Is this a silly question, leading to confusion? Belief only has any relevance to faith when we’re asked to accept something relating to an abstract concept as a truth when that something could not possibly be truth; backed by nothing. Is belief relevant to knowledge based on scientific enquiry?

We should not bracket or place the unprovable and insubstantial, with tangible, evidence-based knowledge; but this is exactly what we’re doing when we ask whether people believe in angels, demons, UFO’s, Illuminati or other, as yet unprovable objects and fantasies. And yet people do accept them as if their existence were not an article of faith.

Do people believe in the sun and the moon, the changing seasons or the chairs they are sitting on? These objects and phenomena exist. But when we want to examine something strange; something we don’t understand, have never defined or examined before, we have to ask a different set of questions, including defining the meaning of the question itself, not whether it is believable. What is this phenomenon? Can I see it, feel it, touch it, smell it? Is it influencing my life? How does it work? Are there recurrent regularities and irregularities? Beginning this way, with an open mind, anyone can take a focussed look at all the evidence.

Believing in something without investigation is to accept, implicitly, the thing exists to be believed in. That, is a matter of faith. Blind faith.

Caitlin Johnston once said,

“Atheism and secularism, once fringe positions, are now mainstream as people have discovered that they don’t need to allow their lives to be controlled by words written by long dead men, in far off lands from historical and cultural contexts which have no relevance to our own circumstances.”

You need blind faith to believe something ephemeral, and people will not allow that to happen anymore.

A sincere and honest investigation into any question of faith will force humanity to expand its consciousness, consider truths and possibilities it, collectively, has never considered before. I believe there is a growing need to apply this approach to the issue of the future direction in which humanity can grow. Instead of the current direction in which humanity is being encouraged, nudged and driven.

Covid is real. There are so many different ideas about what Covid actually is, but the predominant scientific consensus seems to be that it is a mutated flu virus; in the same category as the common cold. Many people die of flu, around the world, on a seasonal basis. During the recent pandemic, flu disappeared; we did not see flu for well over a year. Instead, people died of Covid. Here, there seems to be an article of faith I cannot reconcile.

I had a surprise a couple of days ago when I typed a common phrase into a popular search engine. The understanding I held of this phrase was at odds with all of the dictionary definitions presented to me by the search engine results. Being an ardent empiricist, my world-view has been carefully built through experimentation and the reading of specialist magazine articles written by experts at the publicly available cutting edge in their field of endeavour. I like to think that by reading widely, from as many different sources as possible, my knowledge of a subject is well informed, underpinned by a thorough understanding of common knowledge.

I used to believe, Conspiracy Theory is an alternative assertion, developed from the same physical and intellectual evidence, articles and principles employed to develop the original theory. Same evidence and observations found, upon investigation by many advocates, to be strong enough to challenge an established truth. Or, to paraphrase, an alternative theory based on the same evidence.

As humans, our brains are wired to accept the first version of any event we are shown. To overcome an established theory, the second, alternative theory, must have evidence stronger than the evidence we accepted for the first.

I must overcome my opinion bias to accept recent search results. Conspiracy Theory now means a belief that a powerful cabal of people are working to take control of the world, this planet.

Who are we? What are we? Where did we come from? What is our purpose?

Did we choose to be here?

I believe we are here because we chose to be, because we volunteered to be here.

I believe we are aspects of life energy created by the Universe in which we live. Each of us is an individual with layers of understanding, meaning, intellect and experience from thousand, possibly millions of lives lived here and other parts of this Universe. Before we can incarnate in a physical body, we have to submit a structure for the life we wish to lead. Life must have a destination; a meaning, lessons for ourselves and others, personal growth, it also must fit within the overall plan for the world we wish to experience and grow.

Incoming souls have choices in the life they want to live before arriving here.

Our view of the reality in which we live is distorted by information we are given to believe, a distorted mirror image of the wider, natural reality.

What, in one place, is a position of power, is in fact, the weakest, lowest point an individual can incarnate into on the journey to illumination – the light of intelligence.

We can try to live an enlightened life, beginning from the lowliest point of entry, meeting every challenge and temptation for aggrandisement with a robust attitude of benefit for everyone – winners and winners, finally leaving for home enlightened by this experience. Growth through positive experience. Is such a life easy to leave?

Coming into life among a wealthy, powerful family, of privilege and plenty, is the same life, meeting the same challenges and temptations. Much harder to deny self, easier to accept the mantle of shepherd, herder, or jailer. Leading to factory farming and loss of care, empathy for the flock. Seeing only opportunity for self-profit. Such people will be back, time and again until they learn, understand and adopt the concept of winners and winners. Growth through negative experience. Such a life is difficult to leave when one has become addicted to power.

Both paths are necessary for enlightenment. Both are as difficult as the other and may need periodic reinforcement.

People entering a life of plenty, don’t often develop a sense of enough. They have a tendency to want, and if they always get whatever it is, they grow accustomed to, ‘Yes’. Such a man could be President of one of the most powerful countries on Earth. Possess the most wealth. Or own most of the planet. Such men also breed uncontrollably with whoever they want. Who will populate the planet in a hundred years? Two hundred years? Three, four, five hundred years?

The H G Wells story called, ‘The Time Machine’, looks increasingly prescient. His future world of bifurcated evolution into Eloi and Morlocks looks worryingly possible when we consider a world population willing to accept personal genetic modification, and the stated aims of the, now destroyed, Georgia Guidestones.

In the body, family, life and societal position we chose, if we decide our lives are not what we expected or want them to be, ask why? Are we making bad choices to decisions laid before us? We frequently are presented with two choices, sometimes three, one of which we have to choose; are we making those choices, or are they being presented to us fait accompli, decided by an outside, external power, for its own purpose?

If our life is not the one we want to live, if we find it too hard and difficult, maybe because we have lost our way and can’t find a way back to the path we set ourselves, we can choose to end it, as do many people.

Life is not for the weak or faint hearted. Such people are easy pawns in someone else’s games to a greater extent than they otherwise would be. We are all pawns in someone else’s game, we accepted this before we set our life plan, but collectively we also play our own game. We are one side in the game and our opponents currently are ahead, outweighing us. We want to save the earth, the planet, the seas, the atmosphere. We want the best for our children and families. If these are the goals of the collective majority, why do they need saving? Our opponents want the opposite, using a rapacious business model to achieve their goals based on a system of wealth transfer and accumulation of political power. Once the system of banking, goods and services, fell into the hands of our opponents, we were on the back foot and have been there since the sixteenth century, with a few periods of renaissance.

We entered a specific frequency when we came here. Global electromagnetic resonance was first measured at 8Hz, by Nicola Tesla in the early nineteenth century. The average frequency of life here was 7.83hz when Winfried Otto Schumann, with Herbert Leo Koenig, measured it mathematically in 1954-6. Today, the frequency is measured at 8Hz again. This is a very low frequency in which to live when we compare it to the musical scale. Sub-base starts around 6hz, and goes up to 20hz. The upper musical range we can measure is called Brilliance, from 6Khz to 20Khz. Little wonder music has transcendent qualities for us, living here in 8hz, but what lies beyond?

From where are the frequencies being transmitted? Physicists tell us the Universe we see is blinking on and off many times a second, they also tell us it is holographic. In this case, think about this – our world and the experiences it offers, is an adventure playground, seemingly being tested, at the moment, to destruction. Maybe before being rebooted? Built by aspects of ourselves, operated by, and for the benefit of, ourselves.

I think of it like a film franchise, a for real Westworld where we get to come in and play the character of our choice in a life of our choice with skills of our own choosing in a game of Play Yourself, where we pit aspects of ourselves against different aspects of ourselves. Our opponent is another aspect of our real selves.

When we read ancient texts of spiritual philosophy, telling us there is no separation, I believe this is what it means. In the greater reality there is us and only us, a living part of this Universe. And every creed, belief, perspective, attitude, motivation and action is a way of finding value in ourselves, in each individual aspect.

We have various stories from antiquity about a variety of individuals, often referred to as gods, appearing in different forms; from bulls and swans, lightning bolts and pillars of flame, to old men with white hair and beards. These allegories remind us how we might choose to incarnate here, to be, to learn different lessons from the life of our choice.

In today’s world, we might imagine a tall man with sagging belly-fat, curly hair and a sharp intellect. What kind of life will we have with these attributes? Or instead of a tall man, a short, slender woman, how would her life be different? Different experiences based on a different appearance.

Without a physical appearance, how would we recognise each other; family and loved ones? How would we develop a Turing Test for humans?

Being here now, is a privilege. We can make a difference if we choose to.

Back to here and now. We’re in human form; limited to five senses, in an allegedly chimp derived body, with all its faults and beauty, limitations and abilities, talents and capacity for love. The same issues, desires, hormonal and chemical reactions and choices in the split second, to go one way or another. Sometimes we can control our emotional reactions, sometimes not. Closing the mouth to prevent sound coming out is a control tactic we might use first, when a strong reaction overpowers the intellectual filter; preventing us from making crass comments – usually the first grisly, often inappropriate, thing that comes into our head. Every reaction has a beginning and when a reaction starts, there is a split-second decision made by the individual, consciously or subconsciously, to go this way or that; react positively, with neutrality, or negatively.

As humans, we have a huge emotional operating range. A consequence of the last big genetic upgrade of the species when brain capacity was increased. Humans have so wide a range, we never know quite where in the range a reaction is going to start, land and settle. It depends upon the degree of control an individual has over their body and its mental balance. Inappropriate social situations can exert control over an individuals’ reaction, so that person might save a reaction, choosing to let it out gently, in a controlled manner, or explode, later.

The brain is trained in this way during childhood, to follow required paths; those beneficial for the individual, society and our established civilisation. As we age, the brain configures to our most frequently used responses; habits form this way, automatic reactions needing no immediate thought input. Useful because we can’t always stop to think about what to do next. The anthropoid/chimp that watched an approaching cheetah, became a meal, and usually didn’t survive it… We’re descendants of the survivors. Here am I, using one of our new toys (internet) to tell each other another story, built from the same evidence as current evolutionary theory.
