Hi Jade, my daughter is in Year 6 and in the second week of the term we had a message from the Headteacher advising there has been disinformation circulating nationally suggesting that extremist groups are targeting school communities. He said this was communicated to all Headteachers from the Local Authority (I’m in the East Midlands, I don’t know if this went out nationwide or just here). I haven’t heard anything myself and I haven’t been able to find anything (but I’m not on social media so perhaps I’ve missed it).  At the end of September we had another message from the Headteacher telling us they had carried out a planned lockdown drill. I’ve never known them to do a lockdown drill before, or if they have I’ve never been informed. As horrible as it may sound I’m now fully expecting something to happen in a UK school, my mind automatically went to ‘oh they must be planning something’ – I really hope I’m wrong.

We visited four secondary schools in Sept/Oct before applying for next year. The layout of two of them felt just like a prison, they were completely lifeless; the corridors were covered in posters for mental health, safe spaces, LGBTQ+, etc. No displays of the children’s work (there was in the classrooms but nothing in the corridors), the children looked thoroughly miserable, most of the teachers looked like they’d rather be anywhere else and there was no creativity in the curriculum they offered at all. One of them had just implemented a new toilet policy where all the toilets bar 20 are locked up, children can only use them during lunch and break (20 toilets in a school of over 1200), you have to have a doctors note to be able to use the toilet during lessons. Girls on their period have to write it in their diary and show it to each teacher in each lesson to be able to go to to the toilet during lessons! Absolutely no chance my daughter is going to either of those schools. Unfortunately one of those is our catchment area and the other is the next closest to us. I haven’t applied for either and I told my husband if we do get offered one of those then I’ll be homeschooling. My daughter hated them.

The other two were far better in terms of creativity, facilities and layout. The children in both seemed genuinely happier and the teachers were friendly and enthusiastic. One of those, our second choice, was covered in CCTV, everyone has a pass to swipe in and out of every outside door to each building and one of the children was telling us that they are very strict on everyone having their lanyards with their pass every day, there are serious consequences if they don’t. The other one, which is our first choice, did have CCTV but seemed a lot more relaxed and open.

The childrens well-being and schools bill is terrifying but, I hate to say, not unexpected. I think there will be some, probably many actually, who work in education who think all these measures are genuinely necessary and they’re there to protect the children. They believe they are doing the right thing because they don’t see the reality behind it. In my mind it all comes down to creating a perception of fear in order to gain complete control.

Many people also see it as an inevitability thinking there is absolutely nothing we can do about it so we might as well just get on with it.  At the moment it’s a bit of a novelty, for some I guess it can be fun to use and there is the perception of convenience.  I completely agree many people will turn a blind eye until something affects them personally.

Two very different viewpoints here, which is great to see!  Debating different viewpoints can be tricky and we need to keep in mind that in the end we may need to agree to disagree on some points.  Whether hypnotism is a ‘real’ concept or not is a whole other debate in itself.  To bring this back to the original discussion:

If Mind is the Trap. And Hypnosis is the Key to the Mind? What about ‘Loosh’ and how can we use Hypnotism to starve the beast? Can we raise frequency/vibration and literally manifest (Perceptually) a better world? (Rhetorical, we already know the answers )

Let’s Discuss..

 

I personally don’t know anything about hypnosis, I’ve never had any experience with it myself, I don’t know anyone who has, and it’s never really been a subject I’ve thought about.  I know it’s a rhetorical question but in my opinion yes we can absolutely raise frequency/vibration to manifest perceptually a better world.  It took me a long time to understand this.  I’m sure there are many different ways in which this can be achieved; I can’t really comment on whether hypnosis can be one way to do this but it’s something for me to look into.

I probably should have mentioned that I’m in the East Midlands, UK!  I haven’t seen any white residue, I have noticed leaves turning earlier than usual.  There is still plenty of green but far more leaves have fallen far earlier than I would expect.  It’s interesting you mentioned mushrooms, last year we had quite a few growing in our lawn but I haven’t seen any in the lawn this year.  I have had quite a few in my pots but I would put that down to my lack of gardening skills and definite overwatering!

That’s a very interesting point you make about them possibly increasing the dose over rural areas to stop people growing their own food (we know they definitely don’t want people being able to do that!), it would be good to hear about other people’s experiences both in rural and urban settings to compare.

I think it definitely won’t be brought in by Labour but I don’t think it’s meant to be. I know this has been mentioned on Ickonic a few times and I agree that Reform are being set up to be the next party in power; they will be the ones who will be tasked with bringing it in.  Labour are just testing the waters, laying the foundations and starting the fear mongering so by the time Reform get in many people who would have opposed it under Labour will now accept it under what is essentially the same party (as all the main ones are) but with a different name.

I can see why people would view it as being no different from passports; they said in the government response to the petition (I can’t remember the exact wording) that you won’t be required to carry it, it won’t be a criminal offence to not carry it and the police won’t be stopping you to ask for it.  When I read that I said to my husband that in itself will make a lot of people think ‘well what’s the problem then, that’s fine’ but what they don’t realise is that with a digital ID you won’t need to have a physical card, or something on your phone to present – it’ll all be done through biometrics with all the facial recognition we have now and eventually using fingerprints as well. I read an article yesterday about India rolling out biometric authentication for instant digital payments, see here – but that’s a whole other discussion thread!

Miss Saigon – I agree that everyone is always in touch with the divine spark within them, it’s just a case of remembering.  From birth we are constantly programmed, constantly distracted and so many people can never break through that so they never remember.  And yes, you have to let everything go before you can really see, which is not something that is easily done.

buddhaflower79 – in your original post you mentioned about meditation. I’ve always struggled with meditation, it was something I always felt like I should do but every time I’ve tried to meditate I’d just become frustrated because it wasn’t happening for me.  Recently I realised that actually I meditate a lot without even knowing I’m doing it.  When I watch the sunrise or sunset, when I sit in the garden listening to the birds and feeling the breeze around me, when I’m cross stitching in silence (although that doesn’t happen very often as I usually catch up on Ickonic when I’m stitching!), are all moments when my mind is quiet and I can feel the connection to divine spark without trying.  Don’t know if that helps but I do think we can sometimes be trying so hard that we end up missing what is there all along!

I hadn’t really thought about it but after reading your post I can say I have noticed a difference.  I don’t live in a rural area although there is a canal path (no canal) and areas of fields across the way from me.  I have a reasonable sized back garden and many of my neighbours have beautiful flower filled front gardens.  I have noticed there have been far fewer bees visiting the gardens this year, and I’ve barely seen any wasps (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I’m not fond of wasps!).  Through the summer we would usually get a lot of flies in the house with having all the windows open, we’ve not had nearly as many this year.  I’ve also not seen as many butterflies.  We have found that we seem to have some rather nasty insects in the garden that we’ve never had before, I’m not sure what they are but both my husband and I have been bitten several times and we’ve had quite bad reactions to it (not bad enough to need medical attention) and the area of the bite has taken weeks to heal.

We have elderberry in our hedge and we used to get loads of it but there’s hardly been any this year.  Saying that though I have planted a few different things in pots this year and most of those have done well (we won’t talk about the acers 😂).

There definitely appears to have been an increase in the number and frequency of chemtrails over us this year, so that will more than likely have had a impact.  Other than that I haven’t really paid much attention to it but it’s something I do need to be more mindful of.

Your first sentence is a pretty good description of myself 😀 For so much of my life I felt like I didn’t ‘fit’ anywhere.  I always felt ‘different’ but I could never quite put my finger on how. I never really knew who I was and just went along with how I perceived things should be based on what I saw of everyone else around me.  I was a completely programmed sheep, although I always felt like there was something more.  Every time I tried to explore that ‘something more’ my programming kicked in and I would go back to attaching labels to myself in an attempt to find out who I was. I began to see the reality of the world throughout the covid nonsense; it was a very scary period of time for me coming to terms with the fact that reality was not what I had believed it to be my whole life.  Now though, the perception of the world I have feels like the truth, I don’t really know how to explain it, my perception of reality before was an illusion and I think part of me knew it was illusion so that’s why I felt like I didn’t belong.  Now that I can see how things really are (while keeping in the back of my mind that I don’t know everything and can still be fooled), I feel for the first time in my life that I ‘fit’, I belong.

When the rabbit holes I tumbled down began to lead me to questioning the nature of reality I was so overwhelmed by it all.  I’d spent years looking for a belief system that could explain who I was, where I came from, why I was here, why I could feel energies, etc but nothing ever felt right.  The first time I heard David Icke say that we are all one consciousness having a brief human experience I felt a calmness and a realisation that it is really quite simple in the end. It’s not that I’ve never known who I was, I had just forgotten. It’ll take time for me to remember. Everyone’s experience will be unique to them, for me striving to live in truth, love and creativity, to always do the right thing, listening to my own intuition, being open to the knowledge that there is always more to know, and accepting that the nature of being human means I won’t always get it right, is how I see being connected to my divine spark.

Although it makes me angry and I do feel sad about the whole thing, like you I feel encouraged that so many people are pushing back against it.  I think they know that Britain will be one of the most difficult places to bring it in because historically we have overwhelmingly rejected it.  They also know that while for the most part we are a quiet, polite, tolerant and easy going nation, when we are pushed too far we will stand up against them and we will win.  Right now we are so divided and so distracted that they think they can sneak it in by playing into the very things that are dividing and distracting us.  I think we are very good though at pulling together when it really matters.

Rhondda your comment “Public opinion is definitely growing against Israel, which is going ahead as planned.” has made me rethink my own comment about Israel not caring what world opinion of them is.  Of course they care, the ‘prophecy’ is that the nations will rise against Israel so they want that to happen, they want public opinion to turn against them. As always though they have to make themselves appear to be the victims and at the moment public opinion definitely doesn’t see them in that way. If they agree to a ceasefire ‘in good faith’ and something akin to Oct 7th (or worse) was to happen then they can try to spin it again as ‘oh look what they did to us well what choice to we have now, we have to defend ourselves’.  It’s a never ending circle. 

Or as Vivlav67 pointed out “Once the hostages are free there is nothing stopping complete destruction.” It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if we have a ceasefire deal, the hostages are released and then there is a red flag event which starts the whole process again.  In their eyes they will be the victims but public opinion will still in the end turn against them. You’re completely right – it is all theatre!

The government response to the petition against digital ID that currently stands at just under 2.8 million signatures begins:

We will introduce a digital ID within this Parliament to help tackle illegal migration, make accessing government services easier, and enable wider efficiencies. We will consult on details soon.

I laughed when I read it.  Then I laughed even more when I read the rest of the response.  Not because I think it’s funny, but because it’s the response I completely expected from them. I’m angry, amused and sad. Angry at the arrogance of the government thinking they can just ignore us but I’m not surprised by it.  Amused at the reasons they give for introducing it because I know they are so far removed from the real reasons they want to bring it in. Sad at how they talk about it like it’s a done deal because I know that it very well could be if the population doesn’t come together en masse to oppose it. I won’t comply with it – I’m just not doing it!

[Sarah]

The eternal optimist in me really wants to believe that the motives behind it are genuine.  However, knowing the end game I can’t see any ceasefire lasting long and I’m trying to figure out which piece on the board will be played next. I don’t think Israel care what the world opinion of them is other than in the sense that world opinion can slow down the expansion they so clearly want.  When it comes to Gaza the realist in me will look at any announcement of ceasefire/peace with a great deal of scepticism and I’ll always be waiting for the next move.

Hi everyone! Thank you to all at Ickonic for creating this space for us. I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone, sharing ideas and getting involved in what will no doubt be fantastic conversations!
