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.
