The Elephant in the Room

I love those “find the object” puzzles, do you? The images are so clever yet other than ‘where’s Waldo,’ I can usually find all the objects given enough time. It curious that we don’t see the one image for which we are searching right away. The question perhaps can be “How long does it take you to ‘see the elephant in the room’?”
A Virus is hiding in plain sight in the United States of America… bigger and bad-der than any other. It has grown with alarming speed. Am I the only one to see this elephant in the room?
In 1973 we all witnessed this Virus clearly during the 1974 kidnapping of Patty Hearst.[1] Abducted by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA),[2] she developed a psychological bond with her captors.
The hidden virus is known as the Stockholm Syndrome.[3]
How?
Brainwashing.[4] This is where there is a reduction in our ability to think for ourselves.
These are all negative examples of a very special process that occurs only in human beings; it requires conscious awareness.
Example: The dog knows he is in the room; however, he doesn’t KNOW that he knows it. That is conscious awareness for those who Insist their animals are ‘smart as a whip!’
The process of brainwashing is the same as how we learn anything!
Information is repeated in spaced repetitive intervals over time. It’s how we learned our multiplication tables, right?
I danced around the house reciting the 5’s and 10’s tables as though it was a game. I did it so often that I ‘learned’ it on a cellular level, like you did. We don’t have to even think about the answer to 5 times 5. It erupts instantly as twenty-five! Always.
Mind is an activity that occurs in every cell in our body.
It is evaluated via its amplitude of vibration. As I danced around reciting the 5s tables, I was happy and had a high vibration. The proteins in each cell moved in unison in one direction. When we are unhappy, thinking unhappy thoughts, the same occurs with a low amplitude of vibration; the proteins move in another direction and together.
Both Bruce Lipton’s Biology of Belief[5] and Richard Brodie’s Virus of the Mind[6] go into detail as to how the mind is a cellular activity. Mind is distinct from the Brain.
The Elephant in the room is comprised of the Big Lies or brainwashing that has occurred, through repetition of viewing on tv, radio or online, publicly that is broadcast in spaced repetitive intervals over time.
Almost half of our country has been inundated with false information. It doesn’t matter if the information is positive OR negative, or whether we are acutely aware of it, or not! It doesn’t matter!
Those who believe that our 2020 election was fraudulent, really BELIEVE it! They believe it because via repetition, they ‘caused’ the belief in themselves without knowing it.
It is possible to create a ‘new belief’ using the same mechanism that created the old one!
We don’t change or transmute one belief into another, no. We must, using the same process, create a brand new one, as to our ability (doing something new and completing) and our deserving of having that thing.
In all cases, based on the Law of Polarity,[7] for every bad, there is a good. So while brainwashing and the Stockholm Syndrome we can consider negative, using the exact process to create a new belief is positive.
For fifteen years, documenting, testing and proving that a new belief can be created intentionally through setting and achieving one goal after another after another, causes a brand new belief, hot off the presses! It cannot, however, be created through haphazard or sporadic results.
Results must occur in spaced repetitive intervals over time.

2 年This is my second comment Leslie (Thomas) Flowers. Suddenly, your post reminded me of my own post titled "The Hidden Leader". https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/hidden-leader-ali-anani-phd/ I ended the post with "Thinking deeper I believe there is a hidden leader. It is the values individuals have to promote collective activities. The individual shall look prettier than when alone. It is the value of seeing the whole greater than the part. Values are the hidden leader that makes thousands of people work together so that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The less individual looks prettier and the collective contributions become noticeable and memorable." Do you and I have similar patterns of thinking? The post has seventy comments. I found that they even include a comment by you, Leslie.

2 年Leslie (Thomas) Flowers What a timely article!!! We complain about the brain washing but it is ubiquitous and sometimes hard to find-maybe because we all have fallen prey to a little of the Stockholm Syndrome. Your work is so important right now. I applaud you for what you are doing.

2 年Great article, Leslie (Thomas) Flowers. Believing is often thought of as something that happens passively- we either believe something or we don't. But you are right in pointing out that beliefs can actually be created intentionally through a process of setting and achieving goals. In order to create a new belief, it is valuable to test and document the results over time. Creating a new belief is within our power if we are willing to put in the effort. I know you can and are willing to help.
