As Dark Rocks & nEUTRAL zONE

Protecting themselves as dark rocks beneath a sludgy slow-moving river. A family secret locked Above a large room a titanic door creaked open, black shapes in the room awaited looking to a cinema screen a film flickers into life all be seated and silent. The dark pulse of this riverscape is before them, superimposed on the screen are reels of one family’s life intermittently stopped so the deep pulse sound I added to the silhouette is heard by the audience then the reel starts again it is in mid-years now not perfect and the film stops. Once more one can feel and hear flowing waters hitting dark stones and changing textures, the river alone returns to the screen, and the audience sigh and just breath. All sound stops the river seems to stop flowing all reasons are embedded within the river rocks. The river bursts its banks, the river drains the external force, the river runs dry the rock implodes and all that is secret are gone in the end.

Neutral Zone

Aiming for the neutral zone aiming for the void, the spiritual catch space. I am not alone there are many more, we are gathered, we are one. We will be the same one day, the days of unity gentleness, and peace upon a bed of calm. With garlands upon our heads a cooling breeze weaves between all there has to be calm in the void that waits for the cleansing peace be upon our tortured selves salvation is in the portal of white shafted light.

God

God preceded time, we invented divisions of time. As we evolved but we need not think of ourselves as clever, it is when one goes to sleep discovery is made being conscious in a troubled world is burdensome and extreme, we find peace somewhere else, some are yet to discover. Remember we are all transient beings much of our own invention and reinvention in a living world. No man is above another. We are driven, driven by primordial instinct. It is difficult to achieve but very easy to forget in a vortex of emotions.

Mason Cult Political Rant

In 1957, the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan told a Conservative rally in Bedford that the people of the UK had never had it so good. It may seem as though we are more distant than ever from the days of the post-war boom, just before the swinging sixties crashed into the seventies and on to the demolition of industry under Thatcher. For example, now more than 100,000 people have lost jobs due to the impact of the government’s response to the corona virus pandemic. Young people see dreams crushed due to failings in the exam system and the prospect of a no deal Brexit is written about in the pen of the doom-mongering journalists.

Yet, I will argue that, despite the tragic trail of the virus, we have, in fact, never had such a great opportunity to reflect, rebuild and restore this country as a centre for industry and to build a much fairer and more socialist state. We need the government to commit to a policy of buying British; supermarkets to be encouraged to invest in UK produce, which is guaranteed by stringent UK quality control. Our universities have shown magnificent flair in working towards finding a vaccine for the virus and distance learning opportunities have flourished. We need to invest further into research opportunities and technology. With technology comes all the requisite sub-industries and trades. Our young people are willing to work and need apprenticeships that lead to jobs. The care sector can flourish if its staff are paid better for the hard work they undertake. Yet this renaissance needs to be centrally controlled.

Now we have left the EU and learnt how unwise it is to have a country that depends so greatly on the service sector, we can repair the damage done over the past fifty years. In 1957, we may have had a flourishing economy, but it flourished largely because nationalised services and industries formed the backbone of the economy and led to a robust infrastructure. If we aim towards the instigation of a more socialist government with a policy for egalitarian investment and nationalisation then once again, we can have it good we can have it very good indeed.
