Children's Toys Were Not Meant To Stunt Your Growth

8/10/2026

Ever since the French freemason Yohan said in an email exchange to me back in 2010 "Don't know whether to talk to you as a child or an adult", I get people from time to time, usually older than me, and usually guys, try to be smart-arses and imply I'm childish or immature. The latest one was a reply to an old comment I'd left on a Bob Marley song on YouTube. We went back and forth discussing as usual, and then always the insult comes. These people can never debate or discuss with me straight, they inevitably resort to petty insults. This guy said my point of view was immature. Often I let it go because they are way out of their depth and I know their insults are coming from their ego's insecurities. Sometimes though I just give it to them straight.

I pointed out to this guy that the reason he is insulting me is because he is terrified of losing all he has invested in the system. He has to take that position of putting me down because otherwise he'd have to face the fact he is living a lie.

Look at this with a straight, clear mind. You are born into this world and essentially you are born into a cult. You are forced to go to school, you are forced to believe and memorise what they tell you at school, and then you have to use that knowledge to go out into the 'adult world' and earn money to survive on this planet. Nobody questions this. Grown men (and women) like to imply I'm the child and they are the adults and yet look at all the things they do because someone else told them. They would be lost without someone telling them what to do. They get up each day and go to work because someone told them. They believe in and get married because someone told them now it is time. They have children because it is expected and everyone else does.. They vote because they are told to. They vote for other men and women to tell them how to live their lives. Then they complain about the people they have put in power and yet still continue to vote. Yet it never seems to occur to them that these people they vote for are no different to themselves, just as lost, just as clueless. What do they know about "how to live" that you don't? And if they have special knowledge about that, where did they get that knowledge from? They came into this world just like you, went through all the same procedures.

So what the hell are all these people doing implying I'm the childish or immature one when they are running around this planet like grown toddlers, always needing someone to hold their hand, tell them what they can and can't do?!

I would say the first stage of being mature is to think for yourself. How many people can you say truly do that? Most people just parrot what their parents told them, their friends, their school or university, or political or religious leaders or what celebrities or the media tell them. They never have an original thought throughout their whole lives.

When I wrote the song "Magica Fountain" back in 2011, the line "Children's toys were not meant to stunt your growth" was inspired by this. We think toys are just a thing we give children but toys continue well into adult life, just different kinds of toys. Maybe you're not playing with lego or barbie dolls anymore but now you're doing what you're told so you can afford to live in concrete 'lego' houses or dress like a barbie doll. Or go for a fancy meal or a fancy holiday. Like how your parents would buy you a toy if you were well-behaved as a child, if you are well-behaved as an adult and do what you're told, you get given these 'toys'. The more you serve the system the bigger and flashier toys you get to play with.

I'm not saying anything against these things, but you can't be serious about exploring the nature of reality and Truth without looking at this. You have to first admit to yourself this is what you are doing. I'm not suggesting people should just give it all up and live out in the wilderness. Just don't project your fear and terror onto me. Don't be clever and try to dress it up that you are the mature, adult one and I'm the silly, immature, little child because deep down you know it is not true. Deep down you know what I am saying is an absolute, undeniable truth and if you haven't got the guts to admit that's what you are doing, then that is your problem to wrestle with.
