On the wall

Filly dipped the week old cut strawberry from the plastic carton into the clear bowl of sugar. The strawberries and raspberries were almost not edible any more but dipping them in sugar gave them a hint of sweet that was otherwise missing. This would have to be her carb day. Filly was trying to keep going on her V-shred workout and eating that she had purchased online to add to her routine of doing 10K steps a day. The eating in a nutshell was to eat 50 percent of calories in carbs one day, then go to 25 percent of calories in carbs the second day, and no carbs the third day. And most carbs were supposed to be eaten in the morning.

Strawberries with sugar were definitely carbs. And Filly had a lot of frozen bananas and blueberries to add to spinach and milk to make some shakes also to drink that would be carbs. She licked the sugar off her finger and kept on typing, trying not to gunk up the keyboard with her fingers. Probably an exercise in futility she smiled to herself. Add to that Tater and Mister wanting to type on her computer…Her thoughts trailed off…and turned to the dream she had that night.

In the dream, this man was looking at a film strip playing in a dark room. The film was playing two things at once, like a dichotomy and the film was playing slow enough that the man could see the main story line being shown, but could also see the sub story that was being “marketed”. The main story was about beautiful trees, and about how they mattered. It was a typical “climate change” type of movie, vilifying anyone who cut down a tree. But the movie that played underneath was “flashing images” at a steady interval of like one every two seconds (when slowed down it seemed longer) and the images were of death, distortion, disfigurement and disease.

The man, because he was not like most people, could see the brainwashing that was happening, and took the second movie and separated it from the movie of the beautiful trees. Together the two movies were not the truth, but the flashing of subliminal images was so persistent as to give a sense of depression and doom to those watching. And separately they also were not the truth.

The man was smart enough to know that, though the media controlled the images being portrayed, they could not force the populations to watch. They could only market these images as best they could, or hide them in subliminal messaging, so as to brainwash people. Filly knew he was smart because she personally had seen the man figure things out that no one else had figured out. This was without any direct communication.

Then the man did something that made the dream become like sunshine. He took the camera and refocused it on small children who were beautiful, happy and interacting well with each other. There was no ulterior motive or agenda. The film he was looking at was just clips of families and children living good lives. The man now had his back to the dark movies and was not watching them he was being mimicked by hundreds of thousands, even millions of people who, like him, chose to reject the media portrayal of death and distortion and lies.

Filly thought of her own childhood where her dad had told her stories of hero’s who made a difference, who were of service to humanity. Even as a child herself she had been encouraged to be of service and she remembered that because she grew up loving babies and baby dolls, she and her sisters had taken old donated dolls and cleaned them up, giving them a bath and washing their clothes and repainting their faces if necessary, adding bows and booties so that the dolls could be prizes at the local carnival, to raise money for school supplies and equipment.

Because of her dad and mom, she had paid attention growing up, to signs of life, restoration, repurposing and goodness, like sunshine, baby leaves and clover, little flowers hidden in the grass and birds, as her focus. She had brought children with her and taught them to paint, and notice color and be inspired by it and the light.

These images were everywhere in her house. If there was a room in the house with negative images being projected, Filly left that room. Those images were not real to her. She remembered her dad saying that the TV or Netflix or any other images, were like real people walking uninvited into the home. If those “people” were murderers or villains, would a regular person want to invite them into the home? No. And so her dad would say that these “visitors” should be denied entry into the home of a person’s thought as well. (change the channel)

This was what the man in her dream was doing. He represented people who still had the freedom to see evil, but could choose not to. And he could see that Evil had already successfully brainwashed many people into thinking that they were “ducks”.

Filly had listened to a talk one time about a roomful of people who had been hypnotized to believe they were ducks. An outsider walking into the room would see grown people walking around quacking and shaking their “tail feathers”. A doctor trying to help the people who thought they were ducks would obviously NOT prescribe surgery to remove the ducks bill or webbed feet.

He would not do that because the problem was not in the physical realm of the people in the room, because they were not ducks. The problem was in their thinking because they had been convinced that they were ducks. They had allowed their mind to be manipulated by something that was not truth.

The remedy for a lie was the truth. The truth, when recognized, really would set a person free. Filly thought that must be what her bible verse was trying to say as well. The bible verse was in Acts 19 and was about how the men in the town of Ephesus, who were distrustful of the healings of the followers of Jesus, wanted to attack Jesus followers because their healings were miraculous. They wanted to attack the followers of Jesus also because they thought that this trust in Jesus, disrespected the god Diana that they worshiped.

The followers of Jesus knew that no human made god could heal disease or misfortune. The bible verse went on to explain that….. the men who followed “human gods” had profited, and they did not want the money train to stop. The bible made the “devotion” to Diana clear that it was about keeping money and power…

A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines of Artemis(goddess diana), brought in a lot of business for the craftsmen there. 25 He called them together, along with the workers in related trades, and said: “You know, my friends, that we receive a good income from this business. And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all. There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.”

Filly knew that there was only one God, and this bible verse was about people who wanted to “worship” a different god because it made them money. She also knew that the money train had stopped because people (who turned to Jesus) basically were not believing that they were “ducks” any more. They could see that they were being brainwashed by the men taking their money (currently it was the media) and were refusing to watch the brainwashing.

The tide was turned. The man in the dream was famous and concerned about free speech. His concern for the people, instead of concern about personal gain, which was similar to Trump and to others who were leaders, gave him credibility. Filly had posted, right before she want to sleep, that her one word description for him, in response to a question, was “streamlined” because she felt like he found ways to make the most efficient use of resources to solve human problems. But in her dream, the stream line was also a flow of consciousness, like a movie, and if the movie had dark and negative images, most people, like the man she dreamed about, were refusing to look at them, and were saving themselves from being brainwashed.

From what Filly knew, the man was focused instead on building things, and providing solutions to things. This helped support and ensure the freedom of society, something Filly found to be extremely important.

No more watching movies or images about murder, death, or incomprehensible evil. It held no fascination with Filly. It only had the power to destroy itself as was painfully obvious to those who could see and reject the manipulation versus those who were still hypnotized into believing falsehoods.

Filly thought about how when watching a movie about how someone hated or killed someone else, that movie made that “thought” more real in a persons consciousness. Perhaps there was a real person somewhere who did such evil, as portrayed in these fictional movies, but for Filly this was remote and not part of God’s plan and she wanted to keep an innocent thought and her uplifted thought. Her parents had wanted their children to keep an innocent thought. God’s plan was for his flock to treat each other with love and compassion. His plan was to be the shepherd who watched the sheep because the sheep were not wolves.

The movies and the media also conveyed many fictitious images like the lie that men could be women or women could be men. How many people believed the lie that they were a woman when they were really a man because of watching, and making more real, a fictitious “science experiment” suggestion? How many people had been permanently sterilized because of that false belief? Movies that promoted a gay lifestyle were also part of the “no new children agenda” or “no new life” agenda, in spite of the directive in the bible to choose life. Was the eradication of humanity the ultimate goal of these people who worshiped the “god” that was of human origin? Gender was not a god.

The bible verse Filly had read, about how a group of people who were in power by making money selling silver images of a bankrupt god, did not want to stop believing in their god because it had made them money and kept them in power. Filly could see the parallel with the current times, where the people in Washington, wanted to continue to deceive the populations, selling them false gods of free phones, free medical care, and unrestricted immigration. This was coming from a place of selfishness and power, and ultimately was not true because the power of success was controlled by God.

And like in the bible verse, God was a just God, and gave the power to heal the people, to the ones who believed in him, and rejected the false god, even when it promised money and power. God could see the good sheep.

Filly slowly munched the last strawberry. She put the leftover chicken with cheese on top, from a local Mexican restaurant, into the microwave to reheat. She picked a new bible verse for the day. It was proverbs chapter 19 verse 5

5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. So Kamala, the writing is on the wall.
