Roads to Roam

All Roads Lead To Rome, so the saying goes. I prefer to say that All Roads Lead To Roam. Roaming is freedom, wandering without restriction, free spirit. So whatever your path is, your road, it leads you to freedom.

Roma gypsies…
Just to emphasis this, the city of Rome is called Roma in Italian. European gypsies are called Roma, roamer, too. The country Romania spawns the Romani, Roma gypsies. The Roma gypsies are nomadic and they like to roam. Gypsies are Roman! That’s almost funny. How different can you get, the big fixed city of Rome, and freely wandering nomads.

Destroy the Roma…
The powers that be want to destroy nomads and gypsies, and any other signs of free spirit. They want us fixed in places with names, numbers and fixed addresses. So the idea of roaming has been hijacked and become a city of money and shopping, called Rome. The gypsies find it increasingly difficult to roam as more and more places become controlled and owned and have restricted access. And camping overnight is strictly forbidden in many places. That’s to force everyone to have a fixed abode, a fixed address, so that we can be controlled and labelled and monitored.

Building Rome…
The city of Rome wasn’t built in a day. Like all cities, it started small as a sacred site, a crossover point of earth energy, known as a node. The sacred site became hijacked, overlaid, bit by bit over the generations.You can see how this process starts by looking at Ayers Rock in Australia, not long ago it was a freely accessible respected sacred site. Now it is a major tourist destination, with all sorts of signs and control around it, still freely accessible, but no longer respected. In a few generations, it will grow, and the sacredness will be completely lost, it will become commercialised, maybe a city the size of Rome. But the sacred earth energy will still subliminally lure people into the money making centre.

Bath…
The city of Bath is another example. Once upon a time, the sacred hot springs were freely accessible to all. In this cold weather, we could all be in the water getting its healing powers and heat. I do not believe there is any current public access to the hot springs at present, other than to look at it. Nowadays Bath means shopping, tourism, and romance…

Romance…
The word romance derives from Roman City, romancity. Romance has nothing to do with love, it is the Hollywood sugary commercial overlay. Romantic cities are ones where love is equated to spending lots of money, expensive meals (making you sluggish and bloated), theatre (programming your mind) and alcohol (drugging you). The Roman City is overlaying the true love of the sacred site of the roamers, the roma site.

Roads to Rome…
In the days when the site of Rome was a respected sacred site, many sacred roads, ways, paths would have led there to its centre, some still do. The ancient ways follow the earth energy lines, and the bigger junctions have many paths leading up to them. It is likely that people would have journeyed, gravitated, to these places at sacred times, such as equinoxes and solstices, walking along the earth energy lines to get there, using the earth energy to navigate. A natural way of living, humans and the earth in harmony, symbiotically nurturing and connecting. Some Australian aborigines still live this way, but they are declining rapidly, deliberately driven out, their way of life interfered with and their children taken from them.

Egypt…
The novel Northern Lights introduces the word “gyptians”. The gyptians are nomads, gypsies, who travel about on boats. It’s now obvious where the word gypsy comes from. Egypt. Which came first? The gypsies or the civilisation of Egypt? The roma or the civilisation of Rome? Did the great civilisations stamp out the nomads, or did the nomadic free spirit break free from the controlling civilisations?

Nomad…
It’s worth noticing that nomad is No Mad. Nomadic groups do not have mad people. Only civilised societies do. That’s because madness is caused by the control of the free spirit.
