The Carousel
by Mike Driver
“Everything a lie… Everything you hear, everything you see… So much to spew out… They just keep coming, one after another… You’re in a box… A moving box… They want you dead, or in their lie” – Terence Malick, The Thin Red Line
The carousel spins round and round, faster and faster, the music speeds up, louder and louder, everything becomes a blur of colour and noise, people laughing, shouting, some screaming. Screaming because they can never get off. And the controller? The controller is merciless: he never lets up, more noise, more speed, more lights.
Most have forgotten their lives before the carousel. They have become the carousel. The carousel doesn’t stop any more. Those of us who stepped off, while you still could, look back in fearful wonder. The carousel now half the size of the planet. Spinning, spinning like a crazed top. Never going anywhere. Our old friends can’t hear us. Nearly everyone is lost. Hypnotised. Hysterical. Hyper-stimulated…
The Miraculous Nature of Water
The structure of water is transformed by human thoughts
by Greg Reese
The stated mission of modern science is to dominate and control nature. It was born of the philosophies of Francis Bacon who suggested we could learn “to command nature in action”, and of René Descartes who wrote that mankind could become “the masters and possessors of nature.” This was science flipped on its head because the previous scientific philosophy saw nature as a perfect creation of god to be observed and understood. Take for instance, water. Without water, we would not exist. And so the true value is in understanding the nature of water so that we can flow with it, not control it.
For over 20 years, Japanese scientist, Dr. Masaru Emoto, studied the groundbreaking science of how the molecular structure in water transforms when exposed to human words, thoughts, and sounds. Dr. Emoto would simply label a sample of water with different written words such as “love and gratitude” or “I hate you.” He would then freeze the water samples and capture them as they crystallized with high-speed microscopic photography. The results were astonishing. The crystals formed from water exposed to the words, “love and gratitude” were clear, attractive, and symmetrical. And the crystals formed from “I hate you” were distorted, asymmetrical, and opaque…

So much to think about here! I've been mulling over a word or phrase to pursue to characterize 2024 for myself. I've come up with the word "connection". There is much I want more connection with in 2024 - the Lord and His word, the Bible - which is "truth" (see Pilate's sarcastic question in John 18:38: "What is truth?" and Jesus' words: "Sanctify them in the truth, Your word is truth." in John 17:17); friends and family; simple ways toward health; etc.
The Carousel article emphasized a realization I've come to: that the only way to get connection like I'd like - like I believe is important - like I believe will change my life and the lives of those in which I am granted connection, is to step off many of life's tantalizing, mesmerizing carousels like social media, excessive news even from alternative options, my own self-centered and self-serving patterns...
Worth a couple re-reads and deeper examining. Thanks for posting this, Kathleen!
