The Mystery of Talos
or
Probing the Reality of
the Aboriginal Dreamtime
There
is a belief that dreams change our waking life. It has been reflected
upon, that these dreams not only a/effect the self, but everyone else
in this state of shared consciousness. Many have claimed to have
mastered the art of lucid dreaming, that is, the ability to shape
one's dreams according to one's true will, and that this shapes our
future.
The
aborigines took this one step further, and saw their dreams while on
walkabout, accepting what they termed sprits guiding their actions in
a variety of animals and the natural and 'supernatural' (marks to
delinify that more natural than natural would still be natural), and
this was accepted by their tribe as being no more unusual than
walking past trees on a country road.
Western
thought has long since moved away from their collection of beliefs,
that anyone who sees visions, or hears voices is labelled as
psychotic and the current (as of 2019) belief is to medicate away the
voices or visions, as some of these can be (with reason) negative.
Eastern
thought, particularly the Buddhist perspective, is to let all
external stimuli that a/effects the internal is reacted to for what
it is, and then moved on from, like a stone in a river causing the
water to flow around it, while feeling the force of the water, while
every droplet would be a part of a thought that changes the internal
state of the rock.
Back
to the dreamtime. It has been labelled different things by different
people of various professions, be it the Ideosphere, the subconcious,
the Id, and no doubt others, yet it still holds to the belief that
there are forms of everything that ever was, is, and will be yet to
be discovered and passed on to man.
The
title of this work refers to the Greek mythological Talos, a creature
made from bronze with blood of ichor, that could move and act as a
flesh and blood human. This concept was created over a thousand years
ago, and yet now we are ever more closer to developing a automaton
which would behave in the exact same manner as it's creators, as our
Abrahamic God created us in his image, to be like us.
How
would the ancient Greeks have formulated the concept of a automaton,
specifically to the point of using a metal and oil for blood, which
would resound throughout the ages in various science fiction novels
be resounding around our consciousness (sub or not) without some
alternate sphere of reality? Where these...thoughts (an arguable
word, often taken glibly) are passed on to the people in the correct
frame of mind to be able to make sense of such things, in a time when
(to continue with the Talos example) people were still using stone
and winches to create their buildings.
Take
for example, the invention of the telephone. It was simultaneously
invented by people who had no overt communication with each other, on
different continents of the planet and released to the public within
a very short space of time of each other – there seems to be an
area where these people are studying and reflecting upon
possibilities for the future, with the future seemingly
pre-determined, with things taken from this mind space becoming the
'real'.
I
believe that we think with others in what can only be described as a
telepathic manner, and we each respond to the others thoughts and
actions according to our own stored experiential information that is
learned and stored in our Mindspace, so that we may cause emotion and
action in others and vis a vis, ourselves, then we can take that
further, when two people are thinking toget certain information in
various states of emotion, then they can be greater than their
individual selves, and come to mindful solutions to whatever may be
hindering their mind and body at any given time, with the correct
actions and reactions.
To
extrapolate from this, every condition that is physical is caused by
other mind stimuli. The body is reacting to inputs that cause vast
differences in bodily actions. I supposit that people with various
syndromes, alzheimer's, parkinson's and the like are only being
partially cured by Western standards due to the typical Western
methods only causing a partial response in the patient – as the
medications effects cause an increase in certain chemicals which is
only a temporary solution.
To
look at someone with restless leg syndrome, for example, if they were
trying to nullify and/or ignore their emotions of anger, then this is
typically shown with the right leg ascending and descending rapidly,
while the sufferer focuses elsewhere, or does not think while the
body and thoughts in the Mindspace suggest violence or aggressive
action, while the sufferer could be a pacifist, or merely believe
that such a response would be incorrect, hence the gap between the
individual, the individual's brain then mind, and the wider
Mindspace.
One
possible solution to the above syndrome, which has not been tested is
to encourage someone to start doing aggressive, harmless actions,
like punching and kicking a punching bag when the leg starts it's
erratic movements, even if the sufferer has no urge to do such thing,
and see if the leg jittering goes away.
From
a similar viewpoint, every condition should be treated with a
combination of retraining the mind to react to something causing
negativity in the correct way, even if that negativity is required
due to circumstances such as bereavement, in which case in should be
embraced, and touched upon when felt to be appropriate by an
individual.
On a
more personal note, beliefs like these have labelled myself and
others as delusional under Western psychiatric diagnoses (as above)
and stygmies the acceptance of any of these beliefs in an attempt to
define sane within very strict boundaries and keep the general
population at a set level of understanding of reality, and that
nothing beyond the immediate sensory is real.
It
is time for the Western world to reconcile with the Eastern, and the
Tribal, and the Realm of the Mythological, and believe that even
those things that seem impossible, can be possible, and at some
point, be it in the distant future or the distant past, will come to
be, if they have not already in some form or other, no matter how
miraculous it may seem.
