Fae-rly Interesting
So, what is it with the fascination with the Shining Ones? We tell tales of them and wish on them and claim they are living at the bottom of the garden, and some may well be if we are very lucky. All these things and more we tell to our children. Stories of Wicked Witches and Wiley Wolves and quite psychotic mother goats’ who slit open stomachs and place rocks in there before allowing the recipient to drown themselves in a well due to their new weightiness.
Were these the play station games of their times. Was the story of Baba Yaga the equivalent of Grand theft Auto or whatever it is called?
Probably not, because unless I miss my guess there is an element missing in the latter, the moral tale, the warning to all who ‘play’ that they are going to be virtually made responsible for the carnage they make on the screen. Which part of it makes them think about consequences of choices?
If, as posited by Deepak Chopra et al, what we think we project and manifest then perhaps the reason we have so much violence and disharmony in the world is the constant onslaught of bloody adrenalin fuelled imaginings of one person that is connecting with the punters who play their game. What does one win with these things anyway? If it is a sense of achievement that is the prize surely it is society at large who should be thinking about just how low the bar of this particular achievement is set.
Instead of finding things to do it is an automatic response to get to a games machine or a computer, this is not just restricted to the younger end of the spectrum either, so in the morphogenic field it is not surprising that we are in the midst of scenes from Mad Max.
This sounds like I’m preaching that this is abnormal. Unfortunately being human kind of predisposes us to violence. We are after all the biggest predator on the planet.
The idea that what can be imagined can become manifest in the physical is nothing new; look at the communicators in Star Trek, good old James T. Kirk getting out his prehistoric mobile phone to get himself beamed up by Scottie. We already have the mobile phones and they have been working on the beaming up thing for quite some time. The boffins are busy boys particularly since the Quantum Theories came into their collective consciousnesses.
String theory now there is a fascinating one, but the Quantum theory small as it is… well now it is throwing up some very interesting posits of its own. It is proving the faerie tales of old, it is challenging the scientists dogmatic grasp on what reality is.
It is proving Magick exists and that it has been with us since we began to ‘string’ two thoughts together (pardon the pun).
So if that is the case and the Shining Ones exist in the Universe adjacent to this one, and they have areas of overlap couldn’t we perhaps concentrate on filling our younger minds with adventures in Quantum land where just any and every permutation of any given situation is possible and is happening in another Universe concurrently with this one.
Get a large Kit-Kat and cup of whatever you have and discuss that at tea break – see what happens.
Then just for fun, think about all the other ways the conversation could have gone and it will have somewhere. My head is now opening up to possibility and it’s a bit of a rush you should try it – no drugs required just imagination and if I can imagine it well – let me tell you a story about that…
