Politically Incorrect Thread About Pod People (Page 12 of 16)

This is interesting. Earlier today I was pondering about a person I know that seems to be difficult
for me to pin down, came here after a long break and found this thread. This pod people thing sounds like many, many people I know, maybe that is what this guy is.  He is very into all the A influences of life. He seems mostly bland and mild. But then there are these pesky little details that maybe don't fit. His IQ is well above average, got a scholarship in math but never made it past the first semester. He convinced me to bail him out of writing more than 800.00 in bad checks that he swears he didn't realize was that much, so much for the math thing. He tells so many lies very badly, that if he ever does tell the truth I would most likely miss it. Ok, sounds like an maybe an OP now. But he is so lacking in socail skills and all the little clues most of us take for grated when interacting with others. Sometimes it is hard to tell if he is the victim or the perpetrator. The most confusing thing is I don't get any "vibes" off of him. It is like he isn't there! On the few times I really studied him I have had this very brief feeling of something unclean. It reminds me of earth that has been trapped in a basement undisturbed for ages.

Lono, thanks for the imput. I have been wondering for some time about Asperger's Syndrome being the problem.  I felt so strongly about it that I mentioned it to my husband a few months back. This person is my 28 year old step son, so in order not to seem evil stepmotherish I was trying to be careful. Since my imput was dismissed I have let it go as he is an adult and I have had more than enough trouble with the younger son so a to feel more than a little burned.

Ani-waya, your feelings are understandable.  Unfortunately, knowing the problem doesn't help the problem.  It just offers consolation to you.  If you understand Asperger's or PDD, it may make it easier to work with him.  But since he's grown it may be out of your hands.  Too bad there aren't other people willing to see the truth of the matter.

This is one of my pieces of advice for helping waking up pod people...

There are pod people I realize, and then there are Nightfall, and these are two separate types of souls... Nightfall are actually very intelligent, albeit not very wise, but they are cunning and keep up appearances to at least seem wise (even to themselves often)... now, Nightfall are often those in society who are the most outspoken in a bunch, leading the pack, where said pack is progressing along a vector of devolution. So take, for example, men and their emotions... you have a group of men, who through media are 'men' men, 'real' men.. in their 40s having some beer, sitting around, talking. Nightfall takes pleasure in leading everyone around them astray, they take pleasure in being bad role models, overly-egotistical role models... so then all the regular pod men see that one or two or three individuals and think well we all seem to have the same problems, I guess this is normal... they don't realize they're being manipulated, they don't realize Nighftall is faking it.. the trenches of the war we are in is everyday life, maybe it's not where the war will be won, but it is where peace will eventually manifest and we can all help to change things.

You see, Nightfall are proud, they are evil, they are ignorant, so you need to confront them in discussion, just rationally, not argumentatively necessarily, but call them on what you don't understand... so if you're one of these guys, then ask Nightfall to elaborate, what do you mean? You want to make Nightfall show its true colours, so that the other pods around will realize hey, wait a minute, he doesn't have the same problem as me, he's just screwed up, so why am *I* acting like this? Non of the pods will go below the surface, so you need to show them the depths, you need to show them the differences, different ways of acting... it's all about how you yourself act, and how you relate with people... if you are skilled, then you help change people around you in healthy ways... you are only ever the change you wish to see in the world, so try to be impeccable, whatever that means for you personally.

All these pod people are being 'lead' unknowingly by other people... the pods assume their motivations coincide with those leading... but those leading are Nightfall... if you expose the motivation, then you break the trend, you monkey wrench the cycle. We can really do a lot of good in the trenches, it's amazing what a single enlightened individual who is up for this type of war can accomplish in a given city/town.. pairs work well also, but don't all get together, because you need to spread out to cover as much area as possible... trust me, you can do it.. there is literally nothing to fear. People would want to wake up, if they would only realize it. They simply don't know any better.

I was just reading Transcix's post when his use of the word ignorant in the above quote synced up at the exact moment that the lyric in the song I was listening to was "the ignorance must be disbarred" (song: To Die Ourselves, band:Reckon With One).  In context of the thread at hand it was very interesting...

On a quick side note, I'm starting to see how my subconscious in relation to the underlying common subconscious field (and the individuated offshoots that I interact with on a daily basis) is arranging my synchronicities within the framework of my personal probable futures of daily routine.  For example, I made a playlist last night, only got through about half of it so I saved it.  At this point it is established that I will likely pick up where I left off with the playlist the next time I access the computer.  Next time I'm on I load the playlist up and go about my initial boot up routines (websites to check, email, etc).  The subconscious and higher self interaction is based upon foreknowledge of probable events by using the established past ( the playlist creation and partial completion of listening) and the likely future (Transcix's post and my daily routine). Thus the music and text were arranged to synchronistically crossover by prior and present subconscious reorganization of reality.

Tom, yes I agree with the danger. As perplexing as this son has been the yonger is far more dangerous. He is into meth, been to prison many times, threatened me and even suggested we hop into bed together. The really sad part is I have know him since the day he was born. When he hit his teen years all the sneaky mean things that he tried to hide-but were easy enough to see if you were looking-blossomed. I understand him since he is like my father was. Mutant Mouse, I like the idea of pseudo-intellectual pod people. That seems to fit. Lono, I agree that there isn't a lot for me to do, but just having someone who can talk about this stuff and get a real response is very nice. There are many people around me that love me well enough, but I just get these really weird looks when I let the real me shine through. Kinda feel like I shoud be standing in the corner with my tinfoil hat on or something! Thanks all of you.
