THE GHOST IN MY HEAD


I often wonder about life and where it comes from, why it is and where it is going.

I used to be into various areas of the occult .. not black magic or anything like that. No more mediums, tarot cards, numerology and healing. That sort of thing.

In fact I have some crazy stories littered about on my blogs .. speaking to a medium or clairvoyant from several miles away without using a phone .. scaring the shit out of the two women I knew at the time who went to see her. Yeah that was funny .. and .. kind eerie.

But the scientist in me had to rule out so many things over the years .. but still questions remained unanswered.

Of these was a series I watched a few episodes of called The Ghost In My Child.

I saw one a few years back regarding a boy who claimed to be a fight pilot in a previous life in World War 2 of an aircraft barrier based Corsair, I think it was? It was one of those things that really makes you stop and think.

Dr Carl Sagan once said that there was nothing in Astrology because there was nothing in space to connect us to the planets. While I thought he was correct in his assessment of astrology I was not quite so sure about there being no connection. That space was entirely empty.

Upon hearing the story of the boy who had visions of a previous like as a pilot I remembered I had often asked myself if this told us something about ourselves? Maybe they we exist, or our souls, on another plane of reality? That when we die we go through some sort of transition period into another level of being and can eventually come back as someone else.

But why would we do this and why would we want to? Are we .. forced to?

Certainly when I experience the life that I Have just lived and I see the way that people in this world, particularly those in power, treat others I find it hard to believe how any being would want to inhabit these short lived, broken and basic instinct driven bodies?

Maybe we are sent back into these husks like soldiers going to war? That we have to keep coming back until we evolve to a stage where we can come back and have happier and longer existences?

Maybe this is destined to continue until we got to a stage of transhumanism? Or maybe just a half way stage of cybernetic augmentations?

Or perhaps our existence in this other plane is even less bearable than this one? Though I find this very hard to believe. No nerve endings and no pain? No emotions? Or at least a lot less? Sounds cool to me!

Maybe our souls are our true beings and that they exist as some kind of quantum energy strings that were actually created like everything else, at the time of the big bang? I mean it would make more sense for this to be the case. Not entirely sure that the big bang was purely a creation of hydrogen alone. Yeah much of the matter we now understand to be made in stars but why all?

I mean let us take a look at what scientists say about matter. There is not enough of it in the universe? Wait, what?

We can only see so far and beyond a distance we can only see that which emits photons and even this needs to be a hell of a lot of photons. The matter furthest away we cannot even see anyway so there is matter that is too far away and then all the matter we cannot see.

Not so long ago they believed there were very few stars out there with planets and believed that stars had a limit to their mass. I certainly did not believe planets were rare and I strongly believed that all stars we could se in the night sky all had their own planets.

They made their educated guesses about Pluto .. they got that very wrong too and I expected the to be wrong too.

We have no idea how many block holes there are out there now how many stars in the galaxy we are unable to see. So we simply do not know.

I have often theorised about how many rogue planets there exist in both interstellar space as well as intergalactic space? Again we just do not know.

But missing matter became dark matter and it has been talked about ever since. There may well be dark matter but it might not be as much as they think it currently is.

There are those stories of seeing people that come back from the verge of death that claim to see a bright light. Happening enough times to force you to take some notice. Of course this had always been associated with the pearly white gates or doorway to heaven for most. But maybe it is not? I think that this is just the transition phase, if it is of course anything at all, before you move onto this other plane.

What I find interesting about these stories if children claiming to be people who are reincarnated is the fact that they can also be from other nations and even genders.

Funny then that we might be beings without sexual dimorphism inhabiting bodies with sexual dimorphism but that there is a section that want to bang everyone's heads against the wall until we accept that there is in fact no sexual dimorphism. Or that there are 46 different genders .. depending on which individual within this group you are talking to? The even more bizarre part of this very confused, mixed up and very wrong group is that they claim we are all one and then want to single out one particular group and say and do some horrible things to them.

Yeah it seems as human beings we can still be ruthless, nasty and hypocritical and I wonder of any of these people own mirrors?

They think they are modernised and above all .. civilised and they are so, so wrong and we have a long, long way to go. A bloody long way to go.

I kind of think of it as a grand scale event of delusions of grandeur. A crying shame it really is because it is actually preventing us from evolving into something better. Because they are trying to force us to evolve into their image which is biased and above all else .. wrong.

As much as I would love for it to be possible, as I am sure billions of others would, you simply cannot speed up evolution. Nature wont be happy having her backside whipped like that.

Yeah .. and that leads me onto something else that a huge great many with delusions of grandeur seem to have forgotten. Nature is a bitch and she can and will bite back, just like any other anmals in the world. Though they seem to think that there are not affected by animal instincts like the rest of us and you can even see it in their eyes, hear it on their voices and watch it in their body language.

Quite .. bizarre.

I spend my time dealing with this which normally comes through in my frustrations and that is actually how I wanted it and intended it. To be raw, so to speak, so that later down the line things I say and points I make can be much more easily explained and proved.

Theirs? Yeah .. that will not be.

We live in a strange world and it seems to be getting stranger by the way, or at least the misguided and bonkers people in it seem to be.

In a perfect word there would be no ailments, no suffering and I would live in a world with only scientifically minded people all working in unison towards a goal.

Instead I live in a world where people have ludicrous and bonkers beliefs but sit there in their chairs opposite me talking down to me and looking down their proverbial noses at me?

Really?!

THE DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR

When I was a young boy about 7 or 8 years of age I saw a painting. Now I cannot remember whose house I was in but the painting fascinated me.

A little while ago I told the story of this painting to ... umm someone over the phone. Someone heavily involved in much of what I speak of ... well, ahem ... of late.

Now as a kid f this age I thought I was smart ... I learned years later to be a bit more humble, lol, but as a kid I was cocky. Oh ... except on here of course ... where the cockiness and confidence is expressed ... very deliberately and are just two of my many, many tools in my expanding tool set.

Now years later I become involved in the world of horses, or the equine industry if you so prefer? Doing so taught me a great deal more about this painting from years earlier because the paintings focus was horses. I understand a lot about horses, like I now do about reptiles, amphibians, fish, orchids, astronomy, astrophysics, cycling, meteorology, seismology, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Long Staffs, Nunchaku and many other things besides. Well I did say it was ever expanding!

But as a boy I did not know what the painting meant. I told my phone friend that there was this old saying but that I was betting that they had never heard of it. Of course it is that in the title of Delusions Of Grandeur. They had never heard of it and I was not at all surprised. Well they was not given the best of parents to bring them up.

I explained that is they were to approach a hell of a lot of people I would wager more than half would be familiar with the term. I also stated that if they then asked where it came from it was highly likely they would no know.

I am hoping it would not surprise you to know that it comes from a painting? Lol!

Well ... I state that but the painting may just have made the expression famous and may well of originated somewhere else. But rest assured the painting is responsible for the wide use of the term.

It might be diffucult for you to find a picture of it as I decided to do just prior to starting this blog and all that I found was one used by a auction house of the real painting but was missing on the actual page, despite the listing being there.

I will include the link and the picture itself below.

Hmm, maybe I am now in the process of making said painting extremely famous once again?

Good, maybe the current owner might cut me a percentage of the increased price? As a fee for my endeavours?! LMAO!

I digress.

The painting ... yes, as I stated horses. A Shiar horse looks on at a couple of race horses galloping by him or her with jockeys in their saddles. Slightly different to how I remember ... but still, well I do have a bad memory, lol.

Horses have a body language and a way ... think Horse Whisperer here and they also have a hierarchy they more than love to work out for themselves. This invariably involves which one is the fastest. It is quite fascinating to watch but they will sprint around full of spirit to ascertain who the head of the herd is. Not quite so entertaining when the current head of the herd is pissed off at being shoved to one side and she wants to take it out on the horses perceived owner by using her couple tonnes to bury him in the mud!

Err me!

In the painting the Shiar Horse see the speeding race horses and imagines him or herself at being involved and winning. But a Shiar Horse is large and heavy and built for pulling weight like carts. A racehorse is lean and lighter with little fat and bulging muscles. Designed for speed.

But the Shiar Horse does not understand this. He knows not that the horses racing along are different to him. He merely sees other horses and imagines him or herself racing with and beating them.

The Shiar knows not his own limitations. He is a horse just like every other horse but he is not like every other horse.

So the painting is called Delusions Of Grandeur which means that you think your greater than you are, in its simplest explanation.

For those that now have a keen interest in the painting or just merely a curiosity to see the painting that the term they were familiar with came from ...

Artist: Malcom Coward S.E.A

Oh no? Its a print!! Lol! Spotted a price of £98 and thought ... WHAT?! Yup...a print, lol.

I explained that I learnt a long time ago that I knew I would come across many, many people that suffered with these delusions. I also explained that I had no idea of just how often this would be nor did I realise how frustrating it would be.

Only that I knew that I would have to overcome it. Not quite seldomly as I imagined but almost constantly.

I was also hell bent on not coming across as more than I am and I strongly believe I achieved this ... err well outside of this blog at any rate. Well ... umm ...

Let us just say that I pretty much think that despite this being unlcear right at this very moment that it will become clear over the next two or three months?

Let us say before 2015 is out? That is what I have said several times on several things and I am going to stick with that. I am playing it safe ... just like a certain solicitor! LMAO!
