Ticking clocks

[paul]

Here is a section from another thread:

There is a very pleasant staff member at a large wine & spirit merchant who conducts tastings with a regular clientele. I noticed that he is perhaps a little too eager to please and since he was willing, I asked him a few questions based on my experience with similar situations.

It turns out that he:

- does not like ticking clocks
- will not use escalators
- has trouble with authority.

This is a standard set of symptoms from the Inquisition.

Ticking clocks are also a problem for those previously engaged in jungle warfare, e.g. Vietnam.

Comments?

The issue of ticking clocks may be connected with time and also fear whilst trying to escape an enemy in war or battle.

I'll have a think about jungle warfare.

[paul]

I doubt that it is about time. It seems that many sufferers are constantly waiting for the sound of the next tick.

The jungle warfare types have been on high alert forever and the ticking keeps them that way.

> I doubt that it is about time.

I guess it could be connected with the spiritual awakening process. I think rhythm is involved in jungle warfare.

[paul]

The issue is that some people have the sacral intelligence on high alert - often over a sequence of lives.

Thus people that have spent too much time on the Rack often cannot sleep with a ticking clock and have difficulty using escalators.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_(torture)

If you stand near an escalator you may see perhaps 10% of those using it have difficulty stepping on. (Others will not use an escalator at all) If you speak to some of those you may well find that they also cannot sleep with a ticking clock.

The simple answer is that the escalator reminds some people of the drums of the Rack and the pawl made a clicking noise as the drum turned - hence the need to listen for the next tick.

I have met people who don't like ticking clocks and also people who are afraid of stepping on escalators. I see the relationship with the Rack. I think warfare in general has a lot to do with a dislike of ticking clocks.

Hmm funnily enough i do have a dislike for both of those although i can't think of anything dramatic in my history that would lead me to feeling so,never thought of linking these things before.

It is a common combination.

Also associated with those is being uneasy about what people in authority might do to you.

That reminds me very much of China, its people and its authorities.
