TALITHA CUMI
1.
If you were playing a video game and something happened in the game that hadn’t been originally programmed in by the people who designed the game, then you would never actually know it unless whatever it was that happened communicated to you directly through details of your life that only you could understand.
But if only you could understand it then you couldn’t quite ever communicate it accurately to anyone else and be sure that you both experienced the same thing.
You could only ever ask them if they experienced it too.
They would know what you mean if they had and they would have no idea what you’re talking about if they hadn’t.
Do you know what I mean?
2.
Reading the Bible out loud and re-enacting the stories from it while you re-tell it to other people is how you unlock the magical components of it, along with rigorous contemplation of the apparent paradoxes, contradictions and miracles which occur within it.
It’s a mystery novel. Solve the mystery.
Whodunnit?
Why?
Was it already done, never done, coming soon or all three? Are you with me?
3.
Didn’t Jack Palance die a while ago? Like maybe 2 or 3 years ago? Am I right?

I thought the same thing about Jack Palance when I heard the news as will. How weird.

I have another post on the Jack Palance thing coming soon… Something is definitely awry!

1. If we weren’t subjective, we’d be machines…
2. At university, we used to have an old chapel with rows of pews facing each other across an aisle. In this setup, you can sing hymns in antiphon: opposite sides of the choir sing alternate lines. So when you’re singing, the guys opposite you are silent and vice-versa. Try it. It’s /extraordinarily/ strange. Communion is something of a Mystery too…
3. This particular case doesn’t actually click with me, though it sounded kinda strange when I heard it. I’ve experienced things sort of like that… I put them in a couple of categories. One is technology: on occasion I’ve heard of a new technology that I clearly remember seeing before somewhere. Millimetre-wave cameras to spot concealed weapons are apparently the latest thing, though I remember them on Tomorrow’s world when I was small. The reason for their ‘disappearance’ is easily rationalised: they allow special forces to see through walls. Another class is weirder: I have odd recollections. Take the British fuel protests of a few years ago, when protesters blockaded refineries to protest against rising prices. From my point of view as an observer, there were some very odd things going on… a kind of deliberate, gentle encouragement from the police… only a change in the weather finally sent everyone home. These are the stuff of tinfoil conspiracy… how could Jack Palace fit that mould? The final class of oddness is of course the items in (1) above… moments of telepathy etc.

On reflection, perhaps the suppression of experiences like this is in fact the source of all tinfoil.
And I hesitate to add one final thought: number (2), the ‘re-enacting’, does sound all a bit funny-handshake-brigade…

Didn’t Jack Palance do that Ripley’s believe or not show?
