Bred, and Read, to fear Giants!

https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/giant/

The Collective Unconscious thrills, and trembles, to a Race Memory of gigantic, powerful and dispassionate beings – and, from this, we get our fear of, and fascination for, the huge, the outlandishly tall, the hulkingly grotesque.

We love to read fairy stories which contain giants. Our souls contain the mythological layers formed by gigantism. ‘Fee…

Stern father, kind mother, loving child, rebellious daughter, strong son. sulking loner, lover, virgin, young wife, grandmother, soldier, priest, king, famer, coward, brave girl, miser, benefactor, artist, poet, actor, baker, miller, smith, spurned lover, adulterer, seducer, murderer, martyr, teacher, physician. These are nought but roles in a play. A play which has been played for a million years all over the world. Each of us plays many roles in our time upon this Earth. Again and again the same loves, the same tragedies, the same victories and the same defeats.  Only acting. Most of us do not know we are actors. A few do. These few are either fools or wise and often we cannot tell the two apart.

All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts.

— William Shakespeare, “As You Like It”, Act II Scene VII

Humans really do have auras (electromagnetic fields) source Humans have organs to sense energy source We inherit memories from our anscestors  source Meditation actually repairs telomeres in DNA thereby slowing aging source Compassion extends life source    Love is more than just an emotion source   Other universes exist and each of us may inhabit our own universe source Meditation speeds healing source 

Human beings, for most of our evolutionary history, were not top predators. We were prey to wolves, bears and mostly the big cats. If you could remember all of the lives of your distant ancestors many would have this as their last memory:

One bit of evidence for encoded racial memory is the fact that babies who have never seen a tiger or even heard of one will react with fear upon hearing the quiet throaty growl of a tiger. Not a roar, just that growl that signals "I am going to eat you". We know it and fear it. 

Race memory is just a complex form of instinct. In lower animals instinct that is inherited behavior is all they possess. A roach can't learn but it knows to scurry under the fridge when the kitchen light goes on. Real world information. Encoded in the genes.

Three islands lie just off the coast near Perth, Australia. All are popular tourist destinations: Rottnest Island is famous for its population of quokkas, a small marsupial. The tiny Carnac Island has sea lions and deadly tiger snakes. Slender Garden Island is home to a naval base.

All three of these islands were originally inhabited by Aboriginal people, though. And, according to Climate Central, an early European settler described some stories told by the Aboriginal people of a time when the islands "once formed part of the mainland, and that the intervening ground was thickly covered with trees." But in one story, those trees caught fire and burned "with such intensity that the ground split asunder with a great noise, and the sea rushed in between, cutting off these islands from the mainland."

It may seem like a just a story, but researchers recently matched this and other Aboriginal stories to real events. The sea did rush in—at the end of the last glacial period—about 7,500 to 8,900 years ago.

Another community tells of a time when northeastern Australia’s shoreline reached all the way out to the Great Barrier Reef. They recall a river that flowed into the sea at what is now Fitzroy Island. For Climate Central, John Upton writes, "The great gulf between today’s shoreline and the reef suggests that the stories tell of a time when seas were more than 200 feet lower than they are today, placing the story’s roots at as many as 12,600 years ago."

“It’s quite gobsmacking to think that a story could be told for 10,000 years,” Nicholas Reid, a linguist specializing in Aboriginal Australian languages at Australia’s University of New England, told Upton. “It’s almost unimaginable that people would transmit stories about things like islands that are currently underwater accurately across 400 generations.”
