23 Scottish Independance- Get Out ?!

Scotland has been in turmoil as the possibility of Independence has been in its sights. Many shouted that the time had come for change and things couldn't carry on any longer in their current form. Figures in authority and respect, offered guidance. Views were exchanged, but in the end things came a full circle as Independence was rejected, but now it turns out further powers are still to be offered. They will happen despite losing the vote which offered them. A full circle. Well the future has manifested anyway, either way its only a slightly altered out come. What was all the shouting about ? Well this is the the journey that is  23 !

Somewhere out there tonight.... Morgan, Morelli.....

I have only come across one person who I found  to have any truly physcic connection to me , and she was female, and in a foreign land . Such were the examples that presented themselves to me back then, and so extreme were they that I spent most of my time wondering whether I was the victim of an elaborate hoax. As time passed the experiences became so extreme that the idea of a hoax became even more unbelievable than the phenomenon I was experiencing.

That's how you know,  or grow to know some things real. Even if you suspect a person is not exactly as they present themselves, if they produce the goods who cares ? If they fake certain events, even they cannot fake some things I experienced. Enigmas always swamp you with doubt, and always will. Of course this is called balance.

I had planned to once again visit a local Buddhist temple as I did this time last year, funnily I had to change my plans as I found out my  Methodist father-in Law was preaching at our local chapel ! I shall however hope to visit next weekend. I don't really relate to Buddhist thinking, though I do see where they're are coming from, but I cant bring myself to think quite that negatively about life never living up to its expectations, even though its often true. No, what attracts me is the fact that inside the temple there really is total peace and lack of any atmosphere at all. This is done so efficiently that I must pay attention as they are obviously doing something right with such an extraordinary sterile atmosphere being present. Such extremes impress me !

Arria - installation timelapse

 

I noticed this amazing sculpture this August while on my way to my holiday destination on the West Coast of Scotland, driving on the A80 . I had not noticed it until now despite holidaying every year in Scotland ( not sure how I missed it before ) although I trust the date on this films start is correct. 

  Whats special is the positioning by a road. The only way you can get a good view is by driving past in your car, hence you wont find any good photo shots on line, not even crossing the road will help as being below the sculpture in your car creates a more engaging feeling as she towers over you . Fantastic and $ 250, 000 well spent. Im in awe !

Note how a brilliant blast of sunshine occurs as the torso is finally joined, and how the sculpture appears to be finished on a full moon. Just awesome, beautiful.

The Tor

I have the house to myself this weekend. Sat in bed now though, moon almost full.
 All was very still today in the dale, not a sound of anything stirred this morning. A Spring like sound of a Curlew singing conjured up a Spring atomosphere. Funny thing was, next a Jackdaw dropped a stick on me so I guess they were in a nesting mood thus validating my assessment of a Spring like mood in the air. Not subjective there then ?

This week The Tor has reached out to me in ways I cannot tell on here, and this has rattled me. I didn't enjoy my visit to Glastonbury though at the time, and I was disturbed by a presence I stumbled upon on a ley line there, a very disturbing presence. It seems my personal feelings count for nothing here. Some would kill for these things to reveal themselves, for me its by default.

Big Questions:  Is this of any " use " to me ?
                           Have I any choice to opt out ?
                           It creates a mood of the moment

Just what is The Tors agenda ? Was the unpleasant presence a healing one even ? as the place I stumbled upon it has that reputation, though only relatively recently. In Druid times it was used for sacrifice apparently ! Was that what caused this unpleasnt presence  ? Or was it due to the person I was watching doing her meditation ?


Tonight my car milage hit 77,777......and the moon being full.

Am I now the person you originally thought I was ???

Its been a busy, heady old week. Tomorrow Im going to do something worldly and go and watch some banger racing otherwise Im gonna go a bit mad ! lol

The Lurker At The Threshold - H.P Lovecraft

" I often think, " he said " how fortunate most men are in their inability to correlate all the knowledge at their disposal. Bates, I believe, illustrates the point very well. He has recorded what seems to be dissociated knowledge, he constantly skirts a terrifying reality, he seldom makes any genuine attempt to face it; he is hampered by the superficial, by the vestigial superstitions which have no reality apart from the expected conventional behaviour- and the belief-patterns of the average human being. If the common man were even to suspect the cosmic grandeur of the universes, if he were to have a glimpse of the awesome depths of outer space he would either go mad or reject such knowledge in preference of superstition... "    


Its true, there comes a time after so many years of quoting instances of bizarre happenings that are personal to you , that you finally and quite conscientiously have to admit that your " on to something " . This does however not fill in any missing pieces to form a magically all revealing picture. Maybe we dare not do that for ourselves, but Ive met those who I suspect have at some point and are paying the price today ?! Time will tell.

What we forget ...


As I'm listening to a Radio 4 program about genetically adding genes to humans to prevent disease I found myself asking why we go to such lengths to cure some diseases, and why we find them so abhorrent and unacceptable in our modern world. I then remembered that their very existence was not to make our lives a misery, but to keep the majority healthy. If we were left to natures ravages  this would happen as Darwin new, though even he wrestled with the idea after the death of his offspring. Yes, disease is there for a reason,  and to go to such lengths to rid us of its blight could unleash bigger problems down the line. Of course Im a complete hypocrite saying this on the highest level as anyone who knows me will be now be thinking ! But its still true, everything on this earth and off it has a function however much it hurts us.
