GROUNDING BOX

The bubbly balloon head cardigan man came to nightmare us by force of will eating all that musty blue cheese didn't help, or did, depending on the viewpoint. Taking on different personalities the day before and the day after. Reminds me of that conductor with a titanium baton whirling it around you could see the shapes in the semi-darkness. Each holds a certain key like the no differences between religions but older.

THE GAZING GLOBES

These shimmering spheres - constructed from rust resistant, shatterproof, polished Grade 304 stainless steel - are widely available at UK retail park superstores and online at a suspiciously reasonable price. Deliberately designed to attract the eye and thus get stolen so that they get transported to more dwellings, they can live on ground or in pond (they are hollow so do not sink) and do not require regular maintenance, so they can remain undisturbed and do what they do more effectively.

There's more to these microcosms in the macrocosm than meets this same eye? Yes... They're known to relay secret broadcasts, and things live inside them: transparent, iridescent, humanoid creatures with billowing, many-coloured hair, who are also seen in ball-lightning and dance like blurry mist below the clouds. I-SPY the box that it comes in. Rumours of footprints...

A KNOW WHAT EXAMPLE

Metal fences nowadays are electrified but not in the animal sense. They double as sheet aerials, pick up all sorts of stuff at the right time atmosphere. Ditto the very beds some sleep on, the interconnected metal springs talking.

FIRST MARCH

The white colour mimics the rest as does the black absorbs them all. A lot screws with us dimensional. The word 'Portals' used a lot. Whatever you want to call it. If it's real. Needs our attention. Freak you out then feed it. The Devil's possessed.

IN THE MIDDLE

The people in the weirds may not realise they are in there, but may pose for photographic documentation so that those who know will register it and seek clues, if any, contained in the colouring, stance or other presentation. At this juncture the black beehive hairdo is an obvious anchor, complemented by the white clothes of her suitor. Hands Hold.

SHAPING THE PRINCE

Spaceships to Mars but starving on Earth. A performative inequality nested in the fabric conditioner. Solutions: what does get in the way? Birds of a feather stick together.

REWARD CLAUDE

The "Claude Glass" or "Lorrain Mirror" (not to be confused with the other "Claude Glass": a coloured glass filter) is so-named due to its reflections somewhat resembling the Italian landscape paintings of Claude Lorrain (1600-1682). This small, slightly convex mirror, tinted black (although there was no fixed design: some were flat for the viewing of distant/small objects and different coloured foils could be used to evoke myriad spectrum moods), was highly portable and enclosed in a custom-made case. It was held in the hand and up to the eye, a little to the right or the left as necessary and out of the sun, the holder turning his/her back to the scene desired to be seen, and would thus make a rather nice magic mirror. Larger versions were fixed to the windows of horse-drawn carriages to enable trancing out to the passing scenery.

The Claude Glass was first used in late-18th-to-early-19th Centuries England by the picturesque artist (not Claude Lorrain) or poet (such as Thomas Gray [1716-1771]) to reference and shape a large landscape scene into a smaller more convenient composition and show its subtle relative tonal graduations, all according to a series of aesthetic principles (many of which were formulated by the Reverend William Gilpin, the vicar of Boldre, a small village in the New Forest). Popular with the sensitives, especially in the Lake District of England, one may assume that - knowingly or without intent - some/all of them manifested a web of doors to otherwhere with this intriguing magical-art device. It's enough to make me want to become a New Old Romantic and continue the openings.

For more information see Arnaud Maillet's The Claude Glass: Use & Meaning of the Black Mirror in Western Art (Zone Books, 2004). A useful review of this book is here.

WE ARE THE WORLD

Am getting recall of my early connects, training and experiences, and I want to tell you of something couched in the guise of an exciting early-1970s Thames Television Network Series, The Tomorrow People, who were John, Carol, Stephen and Kenny - but also Nick Young, Sammie Winmill, Peter Vaughan Clarke and Steve Salmon - REAL people. We should understand that, like ancient myth, modern fiction comes out of an existing reality - FACTS - however distant or obscured their source may be to us.

The basic premise of this kid's show broadcast was that the Tomorrow People were the quadruple "forerunners of a new race, homo superior . . . a new species, wiser and more peaceloving than homo sapiens, and until more of their race evolve these four have intergalactic responsibility for the future of Planet Earth". This particular programming ploy worked a treat, reaching the top ten-percenters of Britain's youth intellectual and inspiring them to remain special and apart from the herd; to contact like-minds and form networks. We were the Chosen Ones, gifted in the psychic, with special duties to perform. And as usual, the UFO and telepathic communication were forefrontal.

The unashamed elitism of the show was astounding and goad. Normal people were termed "Saps", well out of the loop, who barely even noticed in their midst the New Race, the vanguard troops of the future now, let alone suspected our superhuman powers. We knew all about them though, having "broken out" into our new state-of-being: hundreds of thousands of thoughts from hundreds and thousands of heads flooding into us with their vulgar deafening clamour, until we put up our "thought-screens". How could they possibly understand the Grand Plan hatched from our secret headquarters deep below the London streets, coordinated by the advanced, computerised, Talking Intelligence Machine, TIM? (It was rumoured that TIM had a penis, and it was he who told us that the physical world didn't exist; that tables, clothes, clouds and countries, even atoms were imaginary constructs, because everything is created and sustained by our senses. By fully realising this and the right training is how we perform our stunning and sublime feats.)

We must accelerate. Foreign accents..."cataonic trance"..."traumatic shock"..."said it was unmanned"... Colonel M, Ginge and Lefty...Tolford Grange...Holy Loch... The Critons disguised as Hell's Angels...the curiously-shaped plate with irregular corrugations. "Only listen to TIM. Place the tiny, spherical communicator to your forehead. He will now instruct you about 'jaunting' [teleporting] to any corner of the Universe." (The reason why we wore the "jaunting belts": a navigational aid so's we could go farther and not end up inside a rock or something.) Then there were our weapons: the "memory-erasers" and squirting "stun guns"; the "electro-scanners" and "listening-devices"; our individual "videoscreens" at the HQ. TIM's probing voice in our heads. The terror of Becoming...


Kenny, Stephen, John and Carol: the original four of our number.

We eventually learned that our Controllers were "an immortal race of philosophers who dwelt on the planet Sophia in the galactic arm of Perseus". Nature, fearful that mankind would destroy itself, had speeded up the evolutionary process to produce a superior race, who would take over the Earth and live happily ever after. It was the Sophists who provided the design plans for TIM, who was built by the original four "break outs". We waited for other superior homos to join us and get out there, and wondered how long it would be before we could take over entirely from the silly Saps. Things will be different then. That's why Nature has produced us. That's why we are Tomorrow People, TODAY.

THE JUMP-OUTS

I was thinking to revise this but ended up deleting it then found this curious addition. Look to the photo at the left of a French student demo and you will see a strange extra, redolent with dream strengths, who mingles with the crowd (The Observer, 4 January 2009, p.28). She is the type of lady who says "I don't want to fight for my country - I want a country worth fighting for", and has no truck with the insidious plot run by the illuminised vessels of an overshadowing power.

CORD, KNOTS, WEAVING THINKING

The person who invented weaving (with or without help from the Others), making clothes, rugs, baskets out of animal fluff and leaves - that must have been a far out time. Something very powerful going on there. Rope has a mind of its own, it twists, coils and knots itself into natural tangles. It has "a mind of its own", it can help one. Not having writing, the Incas kept official records by the size, colour and configuration of a knotted string (quipu), which became anarchised as the cord/knot magic of European witchcraft, the nine knots in a red cord; Japanese bondage was originally a form of state punishment for crime, and it's now an erotic game; the "Cat's Cradle" string game probably predates all these, a remnant of a most ancient ritual. The Easterners know weaving is a sacred practice; that is why they continue to deliberately introduce a small flaw in the design-pattern, so as not to insult God, the ultimate Creator. Knitting is ancient also, the forerunner of weaving one supposes. What do all these weaving variants have in common? It's a type of meditation. They induce trance to gnosis. In this altered state the enchanted loom of the mind may weave a magic carpet to transport, or 'weave' out one's mind; projecting and anchoring one's desire-wish into the spreading work-web at hand.

NEVER VOTE BECAUSE NAZILLUMINATI

Let's get the Hitlers out of the way before anyone asks. I don't particularly want to look at or feature him (or any other dictator) in artwork but there's a definite power to its happening. Seems to be an experiment here, not only me. Freak reception. Alone with everybody. Who knows if Hitler was independent throughout or an agent from the start, or if he and certain comrades escaped to South America (not to mention Project PAPERCLIP), but his bold was textbook magical thinking, that was not powerful enough to usurp the later considerably stacked odds.

The Hitlerian Comet still illuminates in certain quarters. Can't see why fashion, especially British adherents Sieg Heiling in full knowledge that their ancestors and environment were bomb-killed by the Nazis, but there you go. The impulse is within all, or most, of us to simply eradicate the opposition - one of the lurgi family, the whole of them or them writ large as a race, whatever - then stand tall upon their compost, but afterwards the infighting begins and the victors turn upon themselves in a vicious cycle. This is obvious perhaps, but still continues. Perhaps it's possession by discarnates, the reason we can't just all be mates.

Ergo Esoteric Hitlerism, or rather Esoteric Cosmic Nationalism, depth-worked by Guido von List, Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels, Savitri Devi and Miguel Serrano, that casts a fascinatory spell upon certain more dubious characters spinning out to subterranean Antarctic bases and/or Imperial Fourth Reich Germans in Vril UFOs awaiting the right time to return from outer-space and assume control of Planet Earth. Exit.

KIM NOBLE

Studying the stunningly out-there paintings of the self-taught Kim Noble - who has "20 main personalities, many fragments and 14 of the main personalities are artists," and was processed by the Tavistock and Portman Clinics - engenders some rather strange feelings and aftereffects. Same night of my first encounter with her art I dreamt...
