The Cold Dead Stare
You should consider that you are rather fortunate to be given these glimpses into the workings of my mind. Ordinarily you are unable to peer into the dark mind of my kind and me. As an empathic individual you do cultivate an ability to understand the way that other people are thinking and how they are feeling. It provides you with a degree of intuition and this is applicable to many of the people that you meet. You apply this ability for the purposes of doing good things and I understand why you do that.
Notwithstanding this ability, however, it does not work with us. You are unable to establish what is going through our minds or what we might be thinking, no matter how desperate you are, to be able to do this. This is because we do not abide by the normal rules and conventions of everyone else. We do not travel on the well-worn path but instead we take those routes which are far from the beaten path. These routes are tangled, unmapped and dangerous and they are so designed to prevent others from following us down them. We do not want you to know what we are thinking.
This is because we have no desire to convey to you any advantage in seeking to escape our effects and make it harder for us to obtain fuel from you. We must cloak our minds and make them impervious to your attempts to read them. We must operate through secrecy and covert behaviours so that you never see us coming, so that you never know what will happen next and so that you have no opportunity to evade us. Not only do we shroud our minds in this manner through our rejection of logic and the adoption of behaviours which are outside those considered normal, we also ensure you cannot read us through our eyes.
Many people look to the eyes as a device for gauging what someone might be thinking or perhaps more accurately feeling. If we are explaining something to somebody and we see confusion in that person’s eyes we know we must adopt a clearer method in our explanation. If we are conveying some news and see a pained expression in those eyes we know (if it was you making the comment) to alter the manner in which it is expressed to make it less painful or to do or say something to offer support. Of course, when we see it, we merely increase the pain in order to extract a reaction from you.
This weakness of the eyes in allowing another person to gauge how someone is feeling and therefore ascertain what they are thinking is not something that we can countenance. This is vulnerability and we do not like vulnerabilities at all. We have enough to contend with, without allowing you to see what they are. Accordingly, in order to ensure that our mind is impervious to your inspection we will either adopt a cold, dead look in our eyes which renders them impenetrable or we will simply reflect back at you what you are feeling and mislead you.
When we adopt that cold stare, it may be designed to induce a sense of dread in you but it has a primary purpose. This purpose is to create a shield so that you are unable to ascertain what we are thinking and thus our plotting mind is secure from external influence and can proceed in its scheming. Should we reflect back to you what you are showing to us, we are doing this to mislead you, but also again to prevent you from having any chance of understanding what is going on in our dark minds. Our minds are the core of our operations. Our minds control everything in order to achieve our aim of securing fuel and as such, this most precious of devices must not be compromised in any way by people like you and your meddling.
We must ensure that our minds are ring-fenced, cut-off and protected from your attempts to read us. Should you be able to do that then you will be taking away one of our advantages. We know what you are thinking and we know what you are going to do next because you are an empath and you not only wear your heart on your sleeve but you wear your mind there as well. Your eyes allow us straight into what you are thinking and feeling. Your mind may as well be transparent or broadcast its thoughts onto a flat screen for all to see. You are easy to work out and study, hence why we choose you. A similar fate must not befall us and this is why we ensure at all times that our minds are impervious to your penetration.

I have found reading KTN blog comments in regard to the Clancy case interesting, which prompted me to do some further reading from news reports and watch the videos provided by the same news outlets. I was rather fascinated to observe the different family members as they gave their statements during court proceedings.
From my perspective, there are many red flags about the case so far. I find the eyes and expression not really changing much rather telling, yet, not necessarily determinative because it is from one particular (and controlled) environment. I asked myself, is she still on the said medication during the court sessions, or was / is she prescribed on something else, or, nothing at all? Her saying “I can’t do this” resulting in that court session abruptly ending – consider what was being said in court at that period of time.
I also asked myself, was Clancy “wronged” by the health / care system when she first approached them for ‘support’, or were her children the ones who were let down?
Who did she first speak to? Was it the health / care professionals or her family members / her-then-husband?
Who is ultimately and overall responsible for the failure to protect and potentially save the children from the danger and resulting in their deaths? Why did the mother not pack her bags and leave the family home instead? Or, why did she not pack bags for the children and arrange for them to stay with a family member, out of harm’s way?
The warnings were given before. Who took heed? What preventive measures were taken by who?
Look at their eyes. Watch their expressions. Watch their body language. Listen to their voices. Inside the court toom. Outside the court room.
I understand and appreciate that HG is a very busy man. I think this case is worth delving into further from the one who sees and understands all.
Thank you HG.
Hi Asp Amp,
I asked very similar questions to you. I see various red flags and also wonder if she is medicated in court ; that would change how she presents.
I question if she actually cares about the outcome for herself. As in, she pleads not guilty by way of temporary insanity, but in the event she is eventually found guilty would she see herself as actually deserving of that outcome? A case of leaving it ‘to God’ to decide her fate and her guilt.
I’ve been listening to the various witness testimonies too. Have you heard the testimony from Dr Paul Zeizel? He carried out a PCLR on Clancy. I also pondered if he was an empath.
This is where I believe prudence becomes important. I may not be able to know exactly what is taking place inside another person’s mind, nor do I need to. What I have learned is to pay attention to patterns, behaviors, inconsistencies, and what they are likely to produce.
For me, “seeing beyond” is not about reading someone’s mind. It is recognizing what is unfolding before me and having the prudence not to ignore where it is leading.
