How Long Does a Living Planet Live?

Earth is alive. She once spoke to us, and we once spoke back. Just as my cells and microbes communicate with me in subtle ways, perhaps we once shared that same two-way connection with the planet. Shamans, mystics, and sages across cultures knew this. Through ceremony, trance, dreams, and silence, they served as translators—bridging the human world and Earth’s deeper consciousness. This wasn’t metaphor. It was communication. We’ve forgotten how to listen. The dialogue is lost. Perhaps Earth is in an autoimmune state. We, meant to be her intelligent, adaptive immune system, are now malfunctioning. Toxic technologies, exploitative thinking, and consumerist patterns have infected us from within—intracellular memetic viruses, turning our energy against the planetary body. We are still the immune system, but we have been reprogrammed, replicating the virus and attacking the very systems we were meant to protect. The signal is now scrambled. Climate change, ecosystem collapse, mass extincti...

Pool and Cull Colony Management

Colony management is, I am adamant The basic way all life is planned upon SPF practices keep lab mice safe Until there's a breach, then safety all caves. Pool and cull, the management chime The sick, old and excess are costing us dimes. Protect the colony, cull excess quick. But careful, as actions can make even more sick.  “Pool & Cull” the letters in bold, Across the cages, the order told. A phrase of science, but cruel at heart, Lives reduced to a manager’s chart.  Old, sick, excess — struck from the line, To guard the colony, to buy more time. Yet in that purge to keep it all clean, Far more fall than the germ would have seen The toll keeps rising, the truth runs thin, The lab admits the pathogens win. So off the SPF list, the germ is dropped, The culls abandoned, the efforts stopped. And out in the world, the pattern repeats, Our elders pooled into care-home seats. Cut from care, left drugged to die, While leaders sold the public a lie. They promised protection, deliv...

The Animal Survival Guide to Human Behaviour

Humans aren't all the same. Like animals, they exhibit an astonishing range of personalities. Just as different animals have unique instincts and behaviours shaped by nature, so too do people manifest in varying ways influenced by their environment, upbringing, and natural predispositions. This isn’t science — it’s a personal lens I use to understand the wild range of people I encounter. In the animal world, domestication isn’t just about taming — it’s a genetic shift, shaped over generations. Like how women are encouraged to be kind and cooperative, and men to guard or dominate. Over time, habituated traits become genetically set. There are domesticated tame types, bred for gentleness, and domesticated aggressive types, shaped to distrust and control people. Then there are the wildtypes — those untouched by the shaping hand of civilisation. Habituation (social training) can lead to and mimic domesticated traits, but it isn’t the same — it doesn’t leave a genetic mark. Habituated a...

A Personal Journey Through Mind

For most of my life, I was aware that my mind worked differently from others, and that people often struggled to understand me and my reasoning. But I never fully grasped why or how that difference manifested. I strongly suspect that my innate verbosity is, in part, a result of this awareness. Additionally, I always assumed phrases like 'picturing something in your mind's eye' or 'counting sheep to sleep' were just metaphors, so it never occurred to me that some people could actually see images in their minds, let alone that others don’t have an internal monologue—mine can run non-stop! My lack of clarity regarding the nuances of mind persisted until February 2022, when I first came across the concept of aphantasia. The realisation was both shocking and transformative—it was as if a hidden veil had been lifted, revealing an entirely new world that suddenly made perfect sense, all the things that had confused me were now clear. As I began exploring this newfound awar...

Addressing Limitations Regarding the New Aphantasia Definition

Update Feb 2025:  There is now a dedicated space for this type of discussion off of my poetry blog and over  at:   mentalimageryresistance.co.uk   Hopefully this clarified advocacy paper makes more sense to people than my ramblings here:  Locating Unifying Language: Multiple Intelligences, Mental Sensory Perception, and Mental Imagery .  For the Record:  I am no authority on this matter. I am an independent researcher and advocate for more clarity in the language and definitions used in mental imagery research. Raising awareness of the need for more research into what those with multisensory aphantasia possess .  Introduction Aphantasia, a condition in which individuals lack one or more sensory modalities of the mind, has traditionally been defined in terms of the absence of the five external senses. However, this narrow view fails to consider the possibility of additional, unrecognised senses that shape our internal perception. Recently, research...
