Altered Minds

The Realisation is quickening . Those that see and run headlong toward it (The Embracer) Those that see - and hide away from it (The Denier) Those that do not see. (The Unseeing) The Embracers are both the greatest danger to The System and in the greatest danger - they risk the ire of both the Deni...

But how can it be... that we all forgot?

The Indiginous people of the World learned history from their forefolk.

We do not.

So who do we trust most? The learned scholars who make a living from selling stories - or the tales from our forefolk?

The indiginous are about to be heard.

Just beyond living memory, where shadow falls and the boundary fails, lay events too past to conceive.

Field Effect #5 - Listener

Field Effect #4 - The Mummy

It's as though they know the future . In a sense, they do. It's like a kettle coming to the boil, slowly heating at first, exponentially heating more quickly as boiling point approaches, then the moment before boiling arrives the first bubble appears, then an avalanche. The moment between not boilin...

Well now... that wasn't what I had expected.

But what had I expected?

One thing leads to another. That's the flow, right?

Turns out that the most extraordinarily complex is always the simplest. The end point always meets the beginning.

But what do I know, right?

Nothing.

I'm liking this.

Field Effect #3 - The Titan

Field Effect #2 - Diamond Cut

I wonder if the people that work at news media outlets - tv, radio and press - realise how divorced from reality they sound. They must surely suffer from the ocassional inkling. Just a doubt, now and then. The constant barrage of aggression. All the enemies that must be feared. The rightness of ever...

As the beginning of the end approached, I felt more alive than ever imagined . The beauty of the unimagined is in it's uniqueness. Something new . A surprise. Each and every day, hour, minute - each moment, just waiting to be revealed. Knowing it's there, but unknowing what it is . It was all in pl...

Are you ready for the journey of many lifetimes? A journey from which there is no turning back, not that you would want to . A journey that will take you in one direction - forward . A journey that will fill your heart with joy, that will make you weep the tears of realisation, at the wonder of it a...

Field Effect #1 Butterfly.

You have a story that absolutely must be told.

But how to tell it, to a people that will not understand?

Encode it within that which is eternal.

It's going to get real.

When the dam breaks, it will be a deluge.

Frightening at first, but a renewed spirit will quickly spread amongst us.

We will need honesty and integrity, once again.

What happens when we are no longer allowed to talk about them? What happens when we reach that point? What kind of society will we be ? If we point out a fact... and it gets us killed ? When people you know just disappear and no one talks about it ? When it's best not to think about anything except ...

They lived a reality in which every one of them was loved. They awoke each day, safe. Their days were filled with creation, both in art and life. They could still waters. Their systems were clean, observing natures natural patterns - the ebb and flow of life and after . The rhythm of their world was...

What if it is unreal beyond comprehension ? Would you look away? Look away to another day, a brighter day of woeful sorrow, a song that fills your heart with joy? Compared to today . But there is always - always - an undercurrent of menace there. It soils all that it touches, stretching backward and...

The loss of forgetting Once upon a time, not so long ago, there was a world in which certain life tragedies could be forgotten, given time . Not so any longer. I know someone who has recently had their heart broken. A savage ordeal from which there is scant escape . In earlier days, the split was t...

So, ok, I had a hissy fit when trying to update the board from 3.2.0 to version 3.2.5. The hosting co. was threatening to charge me a monthly fee to maintain the security of an outdated board, which forced me to try the upgrade process. It went badly. I flipped and deleted and everything in the root...

They had all the time in the world and they used it wisely. Did they know what was coming? It didn't matter, either way. They were who they were and they were happy that they had done the best they were capable of. It was a feeling that filled them joy, each day, because they knew that whatever wil...
