The Drowned Child and The Amygdala Hijack
Have you ever wondered how the media manages to be so
effective in manipulating people’s responses to news stories? How do they manage to slant the stories in
such a way as to get that knee-jerk reaction exactly the way they want it?
It
is largely done by manipulating you with Neuro-Linguistic Programming in such a way that an automatic brain
process takes over before you are able to make a considered rational decision.
The
Amygdala is a rather primitive part of the limbic system in the mid brain which
associates positive or negative affect to patterns of stimuli.
In
evolutionary terms it was designed to give quick reactions to situations which
normally wouldn’t allow time for rational consideration, fight or flight
situations. A primitive survival
circuit which can kick in on a kind of instinctual over-ride. Road rage is a modern example of it.
But
it is also subject to reward and punishment from social stimuli. Social approval or disapproval can be so
strongly conditioned as to produce literally compulsive behaviour.
For
instance, the native population of Europe has come to think of itself as
ethical (whatever that might really mean) to such a degree over recent decades,
with efforts like Live Aid or concern for climate change and fair trade with
the Third World, and been encouraged to think that we are such good people for
it that we have become afraid of being accused of not being totally altruistic
and charitable. We have become afraid
of being accused of having our ‘White Privilege’ due to our dreadful crime of
having had successful ancestors who thought up lots of cool stuff and invented
the modern world, and for even considering that it might be our right to hold
onto that world which they created for us and which we inherited to do even
better things with.
So
at the appearance of a dead child on every news outlet in the European world
with the trope that this happened because of ‘YOUR’ racist anti-immigration
policies and finger pointed at us, it is of course hard to resist that feeling
that something must be done, and that this must involve us admitting some kind
of guilt for this awful thing, and the wave of rising emotion which says ‘Let
them all come, I can’t bear to see them suffer’ with no thought for any
practical considerations, consequences or outcomes.
It
is impossible to reason with someone still in the grip of the Amygdala Hijack,
for this is what it is. The emotional
panic button of the Amygdala has been pressed and until the conditioned
association between the stimulus and that button can be broken, cortical
reasoning has been over-ridden, in an uncontrollable peace and love polar opposite counterpart to
road rage.
Fortunately
not everyone is universally susceptible, and some of us have learnt how to
intervene to a degree in our own responses.
Probably
the most important starting point is to recognise situations to which you are
vulnerable and when you start having strong emotional reactions.
It
can be a significant step in one’s personal growth to be able to discern and
stand back from the weaponised information, barbed with guilt and poisoned with
empathy and compassion which the media have just thrown at us.
Another
useful step towards being resistant to the matrix mind programming is simply to
not watch television or read mainstream news publications. You can pick up headlines from your
preferred sources online and compare them.
Whenever
something like this happens it is an assault on the psyche of the peoples it is
aimed at, and the herd will let themselves be herded, but there are always
those who will not be herded. They are
those who recognise the attempted emotional trigger and have moved to a higher
level of cognitive processing whereby the brain’s triage and gating systems are
able to pick up the deception because of giveaway patterns and details. Rather like a false flag event in many ways,
as it is presenting events in such a way as to get a certain response, rather
than in an open ended investigative manner.
If
you feel an emotional knee-jerk coming on about something you saw or read, or
someone said to you, or with the guy in the car which just overtook you, take a
moment and step out of the situation in your mind. It will begin the process of decoupling you from what is almost
an addiction to emotional responses which has been programmed into our
collective mindset, exploiting ancient brain structures and using them against
us.
There
are many things that, like this, can raise your level of functioning and make
you more effective in realising your goals in life. We’ve all seen movies where one ninja defeats an army pitched
against him. We may not be able to take
on an army alone, but the metaphor is that the higher level of perception and
cognitive function then one can at least defend oneself from the emotional
triggers that are one’s own vulnerabilities.
It
is a vital evolutionary function to be able to see through and outwit the
psi-operations set against us and expose them to others. I would suggest that the level of
co-ordination for this drowned child story was quite extensive. They will have been waiting for something
like this and pounced on it the moment it came up. And presumably the intention was to trigger everyone’s amygdalas
so that ration discourse on the subject of migrants, refugees, infiltrators,
call them what you will, was to become impossible, just a few days before the special European summit on the issues of migrants and refugees. Convenient timing, one has to observe.
Fortunately
a few of the usual suspects such as Richard Littlejohn have obviously seen such
patterns before, and commenters on a variety of news threads have followed his
example. And now it transpires that the
father who lost his son had been in a stable position in Turkey for some time
but risked everything with the dangerous attempted boat crossing that went
wrong. Europe is being blamed for his
error of judgement, and our borders are to be opened, one assumes, to assuage
our guilt at having allowed this to happen.
If we are truly to move forward, evolve and develop, then it must be in a direction of responsibility, for both sides, not with one as victim and the other as self sacrificing saviour. I hate to say it, but the father in this instance had stopped behaving responsibly, and he paid for his gamble with his son's life. Just blaming us for his actions will neither bring his son back, not do anything to help him deal with his situation.
The
war of words, in which those who don’t comply with allowing their amygdalas to
hijack their frontal cortex and its powers of reason are called ‘racists’ and
‘cruel’, will now proceed, but those who have disconnected from their conditioning
are no longer affected by it. They no
longer fear what is behind the weaponised words, and so they no longer feel the
fight or flight response when these attacks are made.
As
each weaponised psi-attack is made, the psychic immunity to the infiltration of
such thought and emotional viruses into our minds increases, to the point where
there is almost instant recognition that we are being played, that we are being
given narratives that are slanted against us, and that this is predatory.
A
good thing about the amygdala is that the deeper and more ancient survival
levels are still there beneath all the social programming that has tried to
overlay it. I’m particularly interested
in what one might call the ‘Zhen Ren’ moment, that moment of absolute clarity
about oneself that we should all seek.
Just as Duncan Idaho, in Dune Messiah, awoke from his amnesia to the
memory of his true identity when he was faced with am impossible conflict
between his new conditioning to kill and his deeper, more firmly rooted love
for Paul Muad’dib. Identity, loyalty, clan. Survival.
And
he awoke to the true awareness of who he was.
A
diamond is created only under the most extreme conditions of heat and
pressure. So it is with the ‘Diamond
Body’ of the Master. Surviving
intensity so that their inner being is fused into irreducible firmness and
clarity which cannot be lost or degraded.
That
is what we are seeking in ourselves, for with it we shall be resistant to all
propaganda and lying attempts to control our thoughts and reactions, real psychic
immunity; and the signs are that we are starting to develop this immunity, this
perception, this recognition. When it
then becomes commonplace the landslide will commence.
