Misophonia – the result of Dew?

similar to Havana syndrom. When will doctors come forward and present the overwhelming evidence of people, targeted with directed psychotronic energies????
Behavioral scientists used cats decades ago to demonstrate their responses to them according to level of stimuli. It started with purring and by intensifying the stimuli it eventually ended up by violent rage. Since then we progressed to targeting humans, directly to violent rage state. bringing hell to earth.
When the ancient esoteric knowledge gets into the scientists’ hands….as Beelzebub predicted long ago.

Wikipedia:

Misophonia (or selective sound sensitivity syndrome, sound-rage) is a disorder of decreased tolerance to specific sounds or their associated stimuli, or cues.

These cues, known as “triggers”, are experienced as unpleasant or distressing and tend to evoke strong negative emotional, physiological, and behavioral responses that are not seen in most other people.[4]

 Misophonia and misophonic symptoms can adversely affect the ability to achieve life goals and enjoy social situations. It was first recognized in 2001,[5] though it is still not in the DSM-5 or any similar manual.[6][7][8][9][5] For this reason it has been called a “neglected disorder”.[10]

Reactions to trigger sounds range from annoyance to anger, with possible activation of the fight-or-flight response. Misophonia responses do not seem to be elicited by the loudness of the sound, but rather by its specific pattern or meaning to the hearer. Triggers are commonly repetitive stimuli and are primarily, but not exclusively, related to the human body, such as chewing, eating, smacking lips, slurping, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, and swallowing. Once a trigger stimulus is detected, people with misophonia may have difficulty distracting themselves from the stimulus and may experience suffering, distress, and/or impairment in social, occupational, or academic functioning. The expression of misophonia symptoms varies, as does the severity, which ranges from mild to severe. Some people with misophonia are aware that their reactions to misophonic triggers are disproportionate to the circumstances. Misophonia symptoms are typically first observed in childhood or early adolescence.[4] Studies have shown that misophonia can cause problems in school, work, social life, and family.[11]

Origin of term

[edit]

The term was coined in 2001 by professor Pawel Jastreboff and doctor Margaret M. Jastreboff, with the assistance of the classicist Guy Lee,[12][13] introducing it in their article “Hyperacusis”,[14] with further explanation in the International Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Society’s ITHS Newsletter.[5]

The term “misophonia” was first used in a peer-reviewed journal in 2002.[15] Before that, the disorder was more commonly called “Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome”, or “4S”, named by audiologist Marsha Johnson. Others have proposed “Conditioned Aversive Response Disorder” (C.A.R.D.) as a more suitable name.[16]

“Misophonia” comes from the Ancient Greek words μῖσος (IPA: /mîː.sos/), meaning “hate”, and φωνή (IPA: /pʰɔː.nɛ̌ː/), meaning “voice” or “sound”, loosely translating to “hate of sound”, and was coined to differentiate the condition from other forms of decreased sound tolerance such as hyperacusis (hypersensitivity to certain frequencies and volume ranges) and phonophobia (fear of sounds).[3][17][5]

Signs and symptoms

[edit]

As of 2016, the literature on misophonia was limited.[9] Some initial small studies showed that people with misophonia generally have strong negative feelings, thoughts, and physical reactions to specific sounds, which the literature calls “trigger sounds”. These sounds usually appear quiet or unnoticeable to others, but can seem loud, or at least unpleasantly magnified, to the person with misophonia. One study found that around 80% of the sounds were related to the mouth (e.g., eating, slurping, chewing or popping gum, whispering, whistling, nose sniffing) and around 60% were repetitive. But more recent research provides neural evidence for non-orofacial triggers.[18] A visual trigger may develop related to the trigger sound,[9][19] and a misophonic reaction can occur in the absence of a sound (examples include leg swinging, hair twirling, and finger pointing).[3][2]

Reactions to triggers can range from mild (anxiety, discomfort, and/or disgust) to severe (rage, anger, hatred, panic, fear, and/or emotional distress).[8] There may be unwanted sexual arousal.[20][21][22][23][24][25][26] This latter symptom appears to have certain parallels to the corresponding subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder[27][28][29] and is likewise often misunderstood and underreported for fear of misinterpretative stigma, but it is common.

Reactions to the triggers can include aggression toward the origin of the sound, leaving, remaining in its presence but suffering, trying to block it, and trying to mimic the sound.[19] Reactions can also include physical responses, such as increased heart rate, tightness in the chest and head, and hypertension.[3]

The first misophonic reaction may occur when a person is young, often between the ages of 9 and 13,[8] and can originate from someone in a close relationship, or a pet.[19]

Fear and anxiety associated with trigger sounds can cause the person to avoid important social and other interactions that may expose them to these sounds. This avoidance and other behaviors can make it harder for people with this condition to achieve their goals and enjoy interpersonal interactions.[3] It can also have a significant negative effect on their careers and relationships.[30]

Combined studies have illustrated that 45% of cases of misophonia became worse over time without treatment.[11]

Mechanism

[edit]

Misophonia’s mechanism is not yet fully understood, but it appears that it may be caused by a dysfunction of the central nervous system in the brain and not of the ears.[9][2] The perceived origin and context of the sound appears to play an important role in triggering a reaction.[2]

A 2017 study[31] found that the anterior insular cortex (which plays a role both in emotions like anger and in integrating outside input, such as sound, with input from organs such as the heart and lungs) causes more activity in other parts of the brain in response to triggers, particularly in the parts responsible for long-term memories, fear, and other emotions. It also found that people with misophonia have higher amounts of myelin (a fatty substance that wraps around nerve cells in the brain to provide electrical insulation). It is not clear whether myelin is a cause or an effect of misophonia and its triggering of other brain areas.[32]

A 2021 study found that the orofacial motor cortex, a part of the brain representing lip, jaw, and mouth movement, has enhanced activation for typical trigger sounds much more than for aversive or neutral sounds in misophonia sufferers. It also found enhanced functional connectivity between orofacial motor cortex and secondary auditory cortex during sound perception for any sound. It further reported resting state fMRI functional connectivity between orofacial motor cortex and secondary auditory and visual brain areas as well as secondary interoceptive cortex (left anterior insula). This suggests that misophonia, which is typically thought of as a disorder of sound emotion processing, is a result of overactivation of the motor mirror neuron system involved in producing the movements associated with these trigger sounds or images.[33]

Diagnosis

[edit]

In 2022, clinical and scientific leaders convened to create a consensus definition of misophonia,[4] agreeing that it is a disorder of decreased tolerance to specific sounds and their associated stimuli. Before this consensus definition was reached, scholars and clinicians debated how to describe and define misophonia, which has limited comparison of study cohorts and hampered the development of standard diagnostic criteria.[4]

Misophonia is distinguished from hyperacusis, which is not specific to a given sound and does not involve a similar strong reaction, and from phonophobia, which is a fear of loud sounds,[19] but it may occur with either.[34] There are no standard diagnostic criteria,[6][19] and many doctors are unaware of the disorder.[8]

Studies show that misophonia often has related comorbid conditions, including anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder,[35] OCD,[36][37][38] and depressive disorders.[39][40] Some research supports the belief that misophonia is genetic, but more research is needed.[41] It appears that misophonia can occur on its own or along with other health, developmental, and psychiatric problems.[8] When attempting to diagnose a patient with misophonia, doctors sometimes mistake its symptoms for an anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder.[8]

Despite misophonia’s relative phenotypic distinctiveness, it has been suggested that it belongs to the spectrum of obsessive-compulsive-and-related disorders.[42][43][44] Indeed, distinguishing certain elements of misophonia from those of obsessive-compulsive disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder may be difficult, as many features often overlap.[45][46][47][48][49]

Classification

[edit]

The diagnosis of misophonia is not recognized in the DSM-IV or the ICD-11, and it is not classified as a hearing or psychiatric disorder.[19] It may be a form of sound–emotion synesthesia, and has parallels with some anxiety disorders.[9] A 2022 structured study of prominent researchers resulted in the creation of the consensus definition of misophonia, determining that misophonia should be classified as a disorder, and not a symptom of another condition or syndrome.[8][4] During the early phase of research on misophonia, it was defined by different criteria with variable methods used to diagnose and assess symptom severity. As a result of lack of consensus about how to define and evaluate misophonia, comparisons between study cohorts were difficult, measurement tools were not psychometrically well-validated, and the field could not rigorously assess the efficacy of different treatment approaches. The creation of the definition serves as the foundation of future diagnostic criteria and validated diagnostic tools, and brings cohesion to the diverse and interdisciplinary misophonia research and clinical communities.[4][8]

Management

[edit]

Health care providers generally try to help people cope with misophonia by recognizing what the person is experiencing and working on coping strategies.[19] A majority of smaller studies done on the subject have focused on the use of tinnitus retraining therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy, which is believed to decrease the person’s awareness of their trigger sounds.[3] These treatment approaches have not been sufficiently studied to determine their effectiveness.[3][17] Other possible treatment options have been theorized by researchers, including acceptance-based approaches and mindfulness.[3] Ultimately, it is speculated that treatment methods may vary significantly in effectiveness from patient to patient.[3]

Minimal research has been conducted on the possible effects of neuromodulation and pharmacologic treatments. A study published in 2022 suggests that some forms of misophonia treatment may vary in effectiveness based on the preference of each patient, particularly in cases of parents with children who have misophonia.[50] In addition, the use of propranolol has also been found to be helpful in some patients.[51]

Clomipramine has anecdotally been found to be of use in at least a certain subset of people suffering from disorders allied with hyperacusis;[52] given its success in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, it may have a place in the treatment of misophonia,[53] which appears to have parallels with both conditions. Clomipramine does appear to have a distinct potential mediating effect on auditory-tone processing.[54][55] One specific phenomenon observed to this end with clomipramine in at least one instance is reduced electrodermal reactivity to innocuous auditory stimuli.[56]

Whether pindolol (a beta-blocker with similar action to propranolol and augmentative therapeutic effects in obsessive-compulsive disorder[57]) and certain selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (e.g., fluvoxamine, escitalopram, fluoxetine) can also prove effective in the treatment of misophonia likewise remains to be seen.

Large-scale research has not yet been conducted, but observation of coping strategies people with misophonia use has shown some consistent results.[3] People with misophonia often cope by avoiding distressing situations and/or distracting themselves from such situations,[58] for example by using earplugs or headphones, mimicking trigger sounds, and playing music.[30]

Sequent repatterning therapy

[edit]

Sequent Repatterning therapy for misophonia (SRT) aims to break the link between the trigger and the emotional response. Developed in the United Kingdom by Christopher Pearson in 2014, the therapy has become more widely available. It is based on the idea that emotional responses are learned and consolidated over time, rather than innate, which makes it a form of cognitive behavioral therapy.[59]

Sequent Repatterning therapy’s development began in 2012 when Pearson applied aspects of hypnotherapy, parts work therapy, and NLP to create a therapy model for misophonia. He presented his work to the International Association of Neuropsychotherapy in 2017 and an article, “Reviewing Misophonia and its Treatment”,[60] was published in International Journal of Neuropsychotherapy later that year. Pearson also contributed to the proposals for diagnostic criteria for misophonia, published in Frontiers.[61] Sequent Repatterning practitioners apply these diagnostic steps when assessing potential clients. These criteria were more recently referenced in psychometrically assessing the condition by Williams, et al.[62]

Since 2001, published, peer-reviewed work on misophonia has increased almost exponentially. A significant increase has been seen since 2017, when SRT was initially proposed. Its development has continued and during the last five years has embraced the therapeutic reconsolidation process (TRP, a key feature of coherence therapy) as a key element.

For those with misophonia, therapy often begins with a structured program with a qualified therapist. This program has four phases:

  1. Pre-therapy
  2. Foundation
  3. Active therapy
  4. Future pacing

and is usually completed over about three months. At the conclusion of the active therapy phase, about 80% of those engaging with the process achieve a significant improvement in symptom severity, as measured by the scale MAQ-4. The reduction in MAQ-4 score that aligns with “significant improvement” is 20%. As of 2023, the arithmetic average improvement of those 80% is around 70%.

Training for SRT practitioners is restricted to those who already have specific skills and credentials. Those assigned the status of Certified Sequent Repatterning Practitioner have completed a comprehensive training course and assessment of a case study.

Epidemiology

[edit]

Research is still being conducted on misophonia’s global prevalence, but a 2023 study found its prevalence in the UK to be around 18%.[63] This study has been cited in popular outlets, including BBC,[64] Medscape,[65] and Medical Xpress.[66] Studies of misophonia’s global prevalence have found it to be as low as 5% and as high as 20%.[63] Its prevalence and severity seem to be similar across genders.[63] In the U.S., it is estimated that 3% of people are affected by misophonia. But in multiple studies, it was determined misophonia may be underdiagnosed (it is not yet an officially diagnosable condition), as it is correlated with other auditory disruptions; 92% of patients who are hyperaware of sounds also have misophonia.[11] There is evidence that significant numbers of undergraduate students in some psychology and medical-science departments suffer from misophonia.[67] The University of Nottingham conducted a study of misophonia in one sample of undergraduate medical students.[68] In 2017, similar rates were found in one university in China,[69] suggesting that the disorder is not specific to a culture.

It may be the case that people with misophonia are more likely to have high fluid intelligence.[70]

Associated symptoms

[edit]

Some people[who?] have sought to relate misophonia to autonomous sensory meridian response, or auto-sensory meridian response (ASMR), a pleasant form of paresthesia, a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine.[71] ASMR is described as the opposite of what can be observed in reactions to specific audio stimuli in misophonia.[72] There are plentiful anecdotal reports of people who claim to have both misophonia and ASMR. Common to these reports is the experience of ASMR in response to some sounds and misophonia in response to others.[72][73][74]

Society and culture

[edit]

People who experience misophonia have formed online support groups.[75][76]

In 2016, a documentary about the condition, Quiet Please, was released.[77]

In 2020, a team of misophonia researchers[76] received the Ig Nobel Prize in medicine “for diagnosing a long-unrecognized medical condition”.[78]

The 2022 film Tár depicts a conductor with misophonia.[79]

Season 1, episode 4 of Hulu’s The Old Man has a brief discussion of misophonia.[80]

‘I’m alive today thanks to Russian technology’ – first Indian in space

https://www.rt.com/india/604427-cosmic-cooperation-rakesh-sharma-india/

“Countries” should not compete through space programs, as this will only hurt humanity, astronaut Rakesh Sharma believes”.

“India is good at satellite technology, Russia has information on how humans can survive for long periods in space, and America has the advantage in technology,” he said. “We should not be going to space as Indian, Russian, Chinese, or American citizens, but as human beings from Earth. Such a change must come, because it doesn’t make sense to go thousands of kilometers and say that I am from India, Russia, China, or America.”

Re Miracles

“The idea of a miracle in the sense of a violation of laws by the will which made
them is not only contrary to common sense but to the very idea of will itself. A
‘miracle’ can only be a manifestation of laws which are unknown to men or rarely met
with. A ‘miracle’ is the manifestation in this world of the laws of another world.” ISOM P.D. Ouspensky p 84

“We had many talks about the idea of miracles, and about the fact that
the Absolute cannot manifest its will in our world and that this will
manifests itself only in the form of mechanical laws and cannot manifest
itself by violating these laws.
I do not remember which of us was first to remember a well-known, though not
very respectful school story, in which we at once saw an illustration of this law.
The story is about an over-aged student of a seminary who, at a final examination,
does not understand the idea of God’s omnipotence.
‘Well, give me an example of something that the Lord cannot do,” said the
examining bishop.
“It won’t take long to do that, your Eminence,” answered the seminarist. “Everyone
knows that even the Lord himself cannot beat the ace of trumps with the ordinary
deuce.”
Nothing could be more clear.
There was more sense in this silly story than in a thousand theological treatises. The
laws of a game make the essence of the game. A violation of these laws would destroy
the entire game. The Absolute can as little interfere in our life and substitute other
results in the place of the natural results of causes created by us, or created
accidentally, as he can beat the ace of trumps with the deuce. Turgenev wrote
somewhere that all ordinary prayers can be reduced to one: “Lord, make it so that
twice two be not four.” This is the same thing as the ace of trumps of the seminarist.”
ISOM P.D.Ouspensky p.94

“The manifestation of the laws of one cosmos in another cosmos constitutes what
we call a miracle. There can be no other kind of miracle. A miracle is not a breaking
of laws, nor is it a phenomenon outside laws.
It is a phenomenon which takes place according to the laws of another cosmos. These
laws are incomprehensible and unknown to us, and are therefore miraculous.”

A Big Wreck Is About To Happen At The Intersection Of Artificial Intelligence Boulevard And Net Zero Avenue

Israeli Torture Chambers Aren’t New

???

I could easily say my chair is esoteric and self-reflect to the Biblical

Thou hypocrite, first cast out
the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly
to cast out the mote out of thy
brother’s eye,

as I have both the beam as well as the mote in my eye. But if this is true, I must say that it is not acceptable in the civilized society under any circumstances let alone in the Holy Land:

https://consortiumnews.com/2024/09/09/israeli-torture-chambers-arent-new/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=ebb6070b-9c84-4aca-bf7e-493f7c53d706

The Maturation of a Bio-Polymer

https://carnicominstitute.org/maturation-of-a-biopolymer/

I am posting this especially for the esoteric and spiritual communities to make them understand, that we are dealing with heavy crimes against humanity and that without the spiritual guidance the contemporary scientists are blindly leading humanity to the abbys.

https://carnicominstitute.org/category/foundational/

Besides extracting electricity from the intimate organs of mostly women’s gender, there might be an ongoing effort to synthetically obtain what otherwise comes as a result of a proper religious, esoteric work. In other words, to get everything for nothing but the horrible, beastly suffering of others. As we are dealing with the human dynamos/accumulators used for dubious power extraction purposes and with the experiments in genetic engineering of the species via synthetic biology, the mentioned plastics/ plasticity bring my attention to Mr. Gurdjieff’s talks with Mr. Ouspensky about transfiguration processes(ISOM, page 325):
“…If one mastered the art of plastics one could become beautiful or hideous, one could compel people to notice one, or one could become actually invisible”.
I took a picture of such example on my body a while ago, so it can be verified.
How could anyone possibly expect any real “creational” birth from a human body under such circumstances? Only a total psychopat or the third force blind ignorant.  

Voltaire and Catherine

I have had enough of this display of vanity fairs. Last night I was going through iknow game box uselessly taking space in my cupboard. I picked up few cards and saw the Catherine–Voltaire correspondence. Living in the most absurd times that the West could have “created”, with the obsessive polarization of every intellectual, emotional and instinctive topic one can come across in order to excite the emotional barriers of the masses so that their attention is diverted from the most existential issues humanity has ever faced, there are two options. Either isolate one self from it and concentrate on the private aspect of one’s existence, or try to keep the swinging pendulum as close to the middle as possible, avoiding the extremes of the left/right. The first choice is not applicable in my case as I am directly tied to the pendulum itself, so I try to do my best. The position of the West towards Russia is irrational, a half of its territory is undeniably European, with very close cultural and philosophical ties. At the moment the Olympic games in Paris attract the most diverse reactions of the public, so I thought that bringing attention to these letters could offer more space for more rational thinking into the politics of the day.
Could those X guys explain to me what is narcissistic about it? Catherine herself did not come across my mind until I started to read the letters. Well you do not get the letters themselves directly, you have to go through that academic collection of a seemingly endless number of opinions opinions opinions, where you end up with the realization, that she actually did not write anything herself because she could not possibly be able to do that.
So please can we get more intelligent if we want to tie Golem?

“…..At the beginning of my existence, namely, at the age when I was still preparing to be a responsible being,

“I—as is proper to all three-brained beings at this age—devoted
the greater part of my time to practicing for the potency
“to-deliberate-actively-and-long”; and of itself it so happened that during the interval of time for necessary rest,
I used to be occupied with the various experimental apparatuses of my producer.
“ ‘And it was just then at that period of my existence
that I began to notice more than once, that on certain
days the forces and degree of my active mentation grew
particularly worse.
“ ‘What I thus constated aroused in me a subjective
interest which served as the source for the engendering
in my presence of the requisite impulse for the thorough
cognizance of the cause of this fact, and from then on
I began to pay attention both to myself as well as to
what proceeded around me and to seek out the causes
for it; and after one “Rkhee” I became convinced beyond
doubt that this undesirable state proceeded with me each
time, on the day when our large “Lifechakan” * was in
action.
“ ‘It was just this fact which I then first constated which
was the cause that I have, since then, become seriously
interested in this omnipresent cosmic substance and deeply
absorbed in the study of its details.
“ ‘As a result, from the very beginning of my subsequent experimental elucidations, I came to possess an
immeasurable number of every kind of proof for the elucidation, both for myself and for others, of the fact that the Omnipresent substance Okidanokh is such a particle of
the common presence of the atmosphere of our planet,
and evidently of the presence of the atmosphere of other
planets, as takes part both in the arising of every planetary
and surplanetary formation—among which of course there
is also the “Hraprkhabeekhrokhnian” part of every being
—as well as in the maintenance of their existence.
“ ‘Upon my further experimental elucidations I also
became aware, beyond all doubt, that although our solar
system like all the other solar systems of the Great Universe has its own Ansanbaluiazar, and each planet with
its atmosphere is a special place of concentration of one
or another class of cosmic substances of the given ‘‘Systematic-Ansanbaluiazar,” yet nevertheless the cosmic-substance Okidanokh is an indispensable and predominant
part of the presence of each planet.
‘‘ ‘And later, also thanks to my experiments, it became
clear to me that this cosmic substance is, owing to the
common universal equilibrium, concentrated in every system in a strictly corresponding proportion and is distributed also in a strictly definite proportion between the
atmosphere of each planet of the given solar system, and
that when this universal substance is used up by accident
or design in any one place of atmospheric space, it must
without fail be replenished for the equilibrium of its
common proportionalness in the atmosphere, and this
proceeds by its flowing in from other places, and thereby
this balancing transposition of Okidanokh must proceed
not only from one space to another in the atmosphere of
any planet, but also from the atmosphere of one planet
to the atmosphere of another planet, if in this other
planet for some reason or other more than its established
norm is used up……” All and Everything, Third Series, p.346, 1973



*lifechakan approximately corresponds to what on Earth is
called a “dynamo”.

If the line of knowledge gets too far ahead of the line of being, or if the line of being gets ahead of the line of knowledege, man’development goes wrong.
In the history of humanity there are known many examples when entire civilizations have perished because knowledge outweighed being or being outweighed knowledge.
The being of two people can differ from one another more than the being of a mineral and of an animal. This is exactly what people do not understand.
And they do not understand that man’s knowledge depends on his being.
And specially in the Western culture it is considered that a man may possess great knowledge, be an able scientist, make discoveries and be a petty, egoistic, mean, envious, vain, or upset-minded man. Yet it is his being.
“If knowledge gets far ahead of being, it becomes theoretical and abstract and inapplicable to life, or actually harmful, because instead of serving life and helping people the better to struggle with the difficulties they meet, it begins to complicate man’s life, brings new difficulties into it, new troubles and calamities which were not there before.

“In order to understand this and, in general, the nature of knowledge and the nature of being, as well as their interrelation, it is necessary to understand the relation of knowledge and being to ‘understanding.’

“Knowledge is one thing, understanding is another thing.

“People often confuse these concepts and do not clearly grasp what is the difference between them. “Knowledge by itself does not give understanding. Nor is understanding increased by an increase of knowledge alone. Understanding depends upon the relation of knowledge to being. Understanding is the resultant of knowledge and being. And knowledge and being must not diverge too far, otherwise understanding will prove to be far removed from either. At the same time the relation of knowledge to being does not change with a mere growth of knowledge. It changes only when being grows simultaneously with knowledge. In other words, understanding grows only with the growth of being.

“In ordinary thinking, people do not distinguish understanding from knowledge. They think that greater understanding depends on greater knowledge. Therefore they accumulate knowledge, but they do not know how to accumulate understanding and do not bother about it. “And yet a person accustomed to self-observation knows for certain that at different periods of his life he has understood one and the same idea, one and the same thought, in totally different ways. It often seems strange to him that he could have understood so wrongly that which, in his opinion, he now understands rightly. And he realizes, at the same
time, that his knowledge has not changed, and that he knew as much about the given subject before as he knows now. What, then, has changed? His being has changed.

“The difference between knowledge and understanding becomes clear when we realize that knowledge may be the function of one center.

Understanding, however, is the function of three centers.

Thus the thinking apparatus may know something. But understanding appears only when a man feels and senses what is connected with it.

“We have spoken earlier about mechanicalness. A man cannot say that he understands the idea of mechanicalness if he only knows about it with his mind. He must feel it with his whole mass, with his whole being; then he will understand it. “In the sphere of practical activity people know very well the difference between mere knowledge and understanding. They realize that to know and to know how to do are two different things, and that knowing how to do is not created by knowledge alone. But outside the sphere of practical activity people do not clearly understand what ‘understanding’ means.

“As a rule, when people realize that they do not understand a thing they try to find a name for what they do not ‘understand,’ and when they find a name they say they ‘understand.’ But to ‘find a name’ does not mean to ‘understand.’ Unfortunately, people are usually satisfied with names. A man who knows a great many names, that is, a great many words, is deemed to understand a great deal—again excepting, of course, any sphere of practical activity wherein his ignorance very soon becomes evident.

“One of the reasons for the divergence between the line of knowledge and the line of being is to be found in the language which people speak. This language is full of wrong concepts, wrong classifications, wrong associations. And the chief thing is that, owing to vagueness and inaccuracy of ordinary thinking, every word can have thousands of different meanings according to the material the speaker has at his disposal and the complex of associations at work in him at the moment. People do not clearly realize to what a degree their language is subjective, that is, what different things each of them says while using the same words. They are not aware that each one of them speaks in a language of his own, understanding other people’s language either vaguely or not at all, and having no idea that each one of them speaks in a language unknown to him. People have a very firm conviction, or belief, that they speak the same language, that they understand one another.

People have a very firm conviction, or belief, that they speak the same language, actually this conviction has no foundation whatever. The language in which they speak is adapted to practical life only. People can communicate to one another information of a practical character, but as soon as they pass to a slightly more complex sphere they are immediately lost, and they cease to understand one another, although they are unconscious of it.

People imagine that they often, if not always, understand one another, or that they can, at any rate, understand one another if they try or want to. This also is one of the illusions which people create for themselves and in the midst of which they live. As a matter of fact, no one understands anyone else. Two men can say the same thing with profound conviction but call it by different names, or argue endlessly together without suspecting that they are thinking exactly the same. Or, vice versa, two men can say the same words and imagine that they agree with, and understand, one another, whereas they are actually saying absolutely different things and do not understand one another in the least.

“If we take the simplest words that occur constantly in speech and endeavor to analyze the meaning given to them, we shall see at once that, at every moment of his life, every man puts into each word a special meaning which another man can never put into it or suspect.

“Let us take the word ‘man’

and imagine a conversation among a group of people in which the word ‘man’ is often heard. Without any exaggeration it can be said that the word ‘man’ will have as many meanings as there are people taking part in the conversation, and that these meanings will have nothing in common. …

One man at themoment may be occupied with the question of the relation between the sexes. Then the word ‘man’ will have no general meaning for him and on hearing this word he willfirst of all ask himself—Which? man or woman?

Another man may be religious and his first question will be—A Christian or not a Christian? The third man may be a doctor and the concept ‘man’ will mean for him a ‘sick man’ or a ‘healthy man,’ and, of course from the point of view of his speciality.

. A moralist pronouncing the word ‘man’ will invariably introduce into it the idea of good and evil, and so on, and so on.

“People do not notice all these contradictions, do not notice that they never understand one another, that they always speak about different things. It is quite clear that, for proper study, for an exact exchange of thoughts, an exact language is necessary, which would make it possible to establish what a man actually means, would include an indication of the point of view from which a given concept is taken and determine the center of gravity of this concept. The idea is perfectly clear and every branch of science endeavors to elaborate and to establish an exact language for itself. But there is no universal language. People continually confuse the languages of different sciences and can never establish their exact correlation. And even in each separate branch of science new terminologies, new nomenclatures, are constantly appearing. And the further it goes the worse it becomes.

“For exact understanding exact language is necessary. And the study of systems of ancient knowledge begins with the study of a language which will make it possible to establish at once exactly what is being said, from what point of view, and in what connection.

This new language contains hardly any new terms or new nomenclature, but it bases the construction of speech upon a new principle, namely, the principle of relativity; that is to say, it introduces relativity into all concepts and thus makes possible an accurate determination of the angle of thought—for what precisely ordinary language lacks are expressions of relativity.

“When a man has mastered this language, then, with its help, there can be transmitted and communicated to him a great deal of knowledge and information which cannot be transmitted in ordinary language even by using all possible scientific and philosophical terms. “The fundamental property of the new language is that all ideas in it are concentrated round one idea, that is, they are taken in their mutual relationship from the point of view of one idea.

This idea is the idea of evolution.

Of course, not evolution in the sense of mechanical evolution, because such an evolution does not exist,

but in the sense of a conscious and volitional evolution, which alone is possible.

“Everything in the world, from solar systems to man, and from man to atom, either rises or descends, either evolves or degenerates, either develops or decays. Bur nothing evolves mechanically.

Only degeneration and destruction proceed mechanically. That which cannot evolve consciously—degenerates.

Help from outside is possible only in so far as it is valued and accepted, even if it is only by feeling in the beginning.

An Open Letter to the US and the UK Ambassadors in Prague

Your Excellencies,

I would like to stress the urgency of progressing Mr. Julian Assange’s case, which is closely connected with mine. Every independent thinker, following our story for 14 years must have come to realize that there are far deeper issues hidden behind the narratives of freedom of the press, guaranteed by the constitutions of all democratic systems.
If we separate his case from mine, we end up with Dagmar Palmerova, indicted for almost 20 breaches of the United States’ espionage law,  while additionally serving my home sentence for crimes, committed mainly in Australia.
While not disputing the latter, my conscience is clear regarding espionage. Several times, I have stated that I am ready to face this absurdity at the United States courts. The government of my country travels to the White House, Pentagon, and Cia for instructions on how to deal with their citizens, but no one addresses me directly. The United States and the United Kingdom use the case of Mr. Julian Assange as a front for it. It might not specifically breach any subjective law of the so-called civilized world but it certainly breaks the objective law Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.  
The blatant political undertone is very regrettable in this case because being a student of the same esoteric school as some of your most respected intel agents of the past like Mr. J.G. Bennett or Sir Paul Dukes, it is evident to my eye that certain esoteric knowledge has been passed down to humanity without any preparation or the right explanation. The results are overwhelming everywhere we look, from the scientific field of transhumanism and artificial intelligence to the military, political, medical, economic, religious, and social domains, all that under the planetary roof of “carbon dioxide” – carbon and oxygen being the representatives of the active and passive cosmic forces.
Your Excellencies, could your intel agencies introduce to the world stage the missing third reconciling force that can bring the long-awaited peace to this “ill-fated planet” of ours?
Perhaps lifting the martial law imposed on everything connected with me and freeing the publisher and journalist Mr. Assange after 14 years could be the wisest step the intelligence might come up with today.

Yours faithfully,

Dagmar Palmerová

Mutual respect, knowledge and understanding of it as a weapon of the 21. century

Obviously futile miliary means in all war conflicts call for at least an elementary increase of the level of our vibrations / consciousness when trying to solve the hot planetary issues.
The esoteric schools have very simple and useful devices. Sri Gyanamata forinstance reminds us of Sri Yukteswar’s advice: “when devotion fails to support us, then duty must step in. Learn to behave. Practice the good old-fashioned virtues…the careful, watchful regulation of our daily conduct to each other when we do not feel like it“.
Jewish issue in Europe vs India:
ChatGPT:
“The experiences of Jewish communities vary widely depending on historical, cultural, and geopolitical factors. India has had a long history of hosting Jewish communities, including Bene Israel, Baghdadi Jews, and others. Unlike in Europe, where anti-Semitism led to pogroms and eventually the Holocaust, the Jewish community in India did not face systematic persecution on such a scale.

Several factors contributed to this difference:

  1. Historical Context: India has a long tradition of pluralism and tolerance towards different religious and ethnic groups. Jews settled in various parts of India throughout history and were often welcomed by local rulers.
  2. Absence of Institutionalized Anti-Semitism: Unlike in some European countries, there was no institutionalized anti-Semitism in India. Jews were able to practice their faith and participate in society without facing widespread discrimination.
  3. Integration into Society: Jewish communities in India often assimilated into the broader cultural fabric while maintaining their religious and cultural identity. They were active participants in trade, commerce, and various professions, which facilitated their integration into Indian society.
  4. Relationship with the Host Community: In many cases, Jews enjoyed positive relationships with their non-Jewish neighbors. This mutual respect and understanding helped foster peaceful coexistence.
  5. Geopolitical Factors: India’s geopolitical situation differed from Europe’s, and there were no widespread movements or ideologies advocating for the persecution of Jews on Indian soil.

While Jews in India faced challenges and occasional incidents of discrimination, they did not experience the systematic pogroms and genocide seen in Europe. This difference underscores the complex interplay of historical, cultural, and political factors in shaping the experiences of Jewish communities around the world.”

So back to the basics. One “secret” – in one way it is never too late.

ČERNÁ HODINA DEMOKRACIE

OTEVŘENÝ DOPIS OBČANŮM ČESKÉ REPUBLIKY

OTEVŘENÝ DOPIS OBČANŮM ČESKÉ REPUBLIKY

Mojmír Babáček

Dne 9. prosince 2023 zveřejnila tisková služba Evropského parlamentu tiskovou zprávu, ve které psala, že EP dosáhl politické dohody s Radou Evropské Unie o “návrhu zákona, který měl zajistit, že Evropa bude bezpečná a bude respektovat základní lidská práva a demokracii”. Budoucí zákon měl zakázat “systémy umělé inteligence, které manipulují lidské chování a likvidují lidskou svobodnou vůli”. Tisková služba uváděla, že poslanci se také “shodli” na “jasných závazcích” ohledně “systémů umělé inteligence, používaných k ovlivňování výsledků voleb a chování voličů” https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20231206IPR15699/artificial-intelligence-act-deal-on-comprehensive-rules-for-trustworthy-ai .

V listopadu roku 2023 předložilo 11 světových lidskoprávních organizací Evropské komisi návrh zákona, ve kterém usilovali o to, aby zákon EU o Umělé inteligenci neřešil jen útoky na lidský mozek z blízké vzdálenosti pomocí propojení mozku s počítačem, ale také útoky na lidské mozky a základní lidská práva a demokracii z velké vzdálenosti https://cz24.news/zachranme-svobodu-a-demokracii-otevreny-dopis-evropske-komisi-evropskemu-parlamentu-ceske-vlade-ceskemu-parlamentu-a-vsem-svetovym-vladam/?print=pdf.

Druhého února 2024 dostaly od Evropské komise tuto odpověď: “Děkujeme za výše uvedený dopis, který vyvolal naši maximální pozornost. Odpověď na Váš dopis vyžaduje další práci, která v současné době probíhá. Za normálních okolnosti můžete očekávat odpověď během jednoho měsíce od našeho obdržení tohoto dopisu”.
Dvanáctého února Evropská komise lidskoprávním organizacím odpověděla ještě jednou. Tentokrát psala: “Váš dopis z 10. listopadu byl předán naším službám a byl kladně přijat” https://www.svobodamysleni.cz/wp-admin/post.php?post=203&action=edit.

V červnu roku 2023 oznámila americká společnost, těžící zemní plyn a vyrábějící zkapalněný plyn Venture Global LNG, že podepsala s německou firmou Geramany´s Securing Energy for Europe GmbH (SEFE) smlouvu, podle které měla dodávat Německu v příštích 20 letech každý rok 2,25 milionů tun zkapalněného zemního plynu a stát se tak jeho největším dodavatelem . Budování projektu CP2 v Louisianě v Cameron Parish mělo začít ještě v tomtéž roce https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/venture-global-lng-signs-20-year-contract-with-german-energy-firm-2023-06-22/ . O půl roku později, 26.1.2024 zveřejnil americký prezident Joe Biden prohlášení, ve kterém oznamoval dočasné zastavení schvalování probíhajících jednání o vývozu amerického zkapalněného zemního plynu. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/01/26/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-decision-to-pause-pending-approvals-of-liquefied-natural-gas-exports/ . Mimo jiné se toto rozhodnutí vztahovalo i na projekt CP2 v Louisianě v Camenron Parish https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/24/biden-pauses-cp2-gas-export-hub .

Evropská unie je v současné době do značné míry závislá na dodávkách amerického zkapalněného plynu a toto americké rozhodnutí znamenalo, že by ekonomika EU po roce 2030 nejspíš nebyla schopná růst v důsledku nedostatku energie. USA mají od roku 2007 k dispozici radarový systém HAARP, kterým je možné ovládat činnost mozků lidí ve velkých oblastech planety manipulací elektrických proudů v ionosféře, které vyvolají elektromagnetické vlny ve frekvencích činnosti lidských mozků https://pravdive.eu/news/63741/je-na-case-zastavit-boj-o-to-ktera-velmoc-ovladne-cinnost-mozku-obyvatel-teto-planety (desátý odstavec) . https://ia802202.us.archive.org/35/items/ma-p-119-652-michala-petr_202203/Mojmír Babáček – Psychoelektronické ohrožení demokracie.pdf (str. 59 – 68). V roce 1994 zveřejnila americká armáda projekt na ovládání činnosti mozků oponentů USA na celém světě “počítačovou simulací jejich osobností” https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA283836.pdf .

Rozhodly se USA, odhodlané využít těchto svých projektů k ovládnutí světa, zastavit úsilí Evropské unie o obranu základních lidských práv před zneužitím neurotechnologií a umělé inteligence? Byla EU, která se čerstvě zbavila dodávek ruského zemního plynu a převedla svou energetickou bezpečnost z Ruska na USA, znovu vystavena politickému nátlaku, kterému tentokrát nebyla schopná čelit, pokud nechtěla přijít o svou prosperitu?

Dne 13. března 2024 schválil Evropský parlament legislativní rezoluci, která stanovila harmonizovaná pravidla pro umělou inteligenci. Na straně 29 této rezoluce se píše: “Manipulativní techniky založené na AI lze použít k přesvědčování osob k nežádoucímu chování nebo k jejich klamání tím, že je podněcují k přijímání rozhodnutí tak, že je podkopávána a narušována jejich autonomie, rozhodování a svobodná volba. Uvádění na trh nebo do provozu nebo používání určitých systémů AI s cílem podstatně ovlivnit lidské chování nebo s takovým účinkem, kdy je pravděpodobné, že bude dotčeným osobám způsobena značná újma, zejména pokud jde o dostatečně významné nepříznivé dopady na fyzické či psychické zdraví nebo finanční zájmy, je obzvláště nebezpečné, a proto by mělo být zakázáno. Tyto systémy AI využívají podprahové signály, jako jsou zvukové a obrazové stimuly a videostimuly, které člověk není schopen vnímat, neboť jsou mimo rámec lidského vnímání, nebo jiné manipulativní nebo klamavé techniky, které narušují nebo oslabují autonomii, schopnost rozhodování nebo svobodnou volbu člověka tak, že tento vliv vědomě nezaznamená, nebo pokud si jej uvědomí, přesto se nechá oklamat nebo není schopen jej ovládat nebo mu odolat. To by mohlo být usnadněno například rozhraními stroj–mozek nebo virtuální realitou, neboť umožňují větší kontrolu nad tím, jakým stimulům je jedinec vystaven, pokud mohou tyto stimuly značnou měrou a výrazně škodlivým způsobem narušit jejich chování” https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2024-0138_CS.pdf .

Dokument Evropského parlamentu neuvádí, že takových účinků může být dosaženo také na dálku elektromagnetickými vlnami, které mohou zasáhnout nejen jednotlivce, ale i masy lidí. V dokumentu se ani nenavrhuje vytvoření agentur, u kterých by si občané mohli stěžovat v případě, že by byli vystaveni takovému porušování jejich základních lidských práv, ať už reklamními agenturami, korporacemi, mafiemi nebo státními orgány. Pokud nebude zveřejněna existence technologií, umožňujících dálkové ovládání činnosti lidských mozků, může být pro lidi obtížné pochopit, co se jim vlastně děje a mohou si dokonce myslet, že jsou duševně nemocní. Za takových okolností budou mít vlády otevřenou možnost totalitní vlády nad občany, aniž by jim to občané mohli dokázat. Už v současné době se stává, že lidé, kteří tvrdí, že jsou bez vlastního souhlasu vystaveni experimentům armád s těmito technologiemi a pokoušejí se proti nim bránit u soudů, odesíláni do psychiatrických léčeben, protože nejsou schopni dokázat, že vládní organizace nebo kdokoliv jiný narušil jejich soukromí a zbavil je osobní svobody. V roce 2016 takové experimenty na tiskové konferenci připustil polský ministr obrany Antoni Macierewicz Electromagnetic Weapons – Minister of National Defence for Poland – YouTube . O půl roku později odpovědělo polské ministerstvo obrany polskému týdeníku NIE na otázku, jestli ministr ustavil komisi, která měla tyto případy vyšetřovat, že toto téma podléhá zákonu o zachování státního tajemství, spojeného s obranou státu http://nie.com.pl/artykul-str-glowna-12/macierewicz-zdalnie-sterowany/#more-38883 .

Výše citovaný text Evropského parlamentu mlčky připouští, že lidé by těmito neurotechnologiemi mohli být donuceni i ke zločinům, za které by vlastně nebyli zodpovědní. To v roce 2021 potvrdila i světová Bioetická komise při UNESCO, když napsala: “Vnější nástroje, které mohou narušovat naše rozhodnutí, mohou zpochybnit nebo dokonce zlikvidovat svobodu vůle jednotlivců a následně i jeho osobní zodpovědnost. Tímto způsobem může neurotechnologie působit na svobodu myšlení, rozhodování a činů. Důsledně domyšleno by to mohlo mít hluboký dopad na právní systémy a organizaci společností” https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000378724 (str. 36).

Uplynuly dva měsíce od doby, co Evropská komise slíbila 11 světovým lidskoprávním organizacím ve svých e-mailech, že se s nimi po měsíci znovu spojí ve věci efektivní obrany základních lidských práv v připravovaném zákonu Evropské unie o umělé inteligenci. Ty ale už od ní žádnou další zprávu nedostaly. Evropská unie evidentně ustoupila nátlaku USA a zveřejnila jenom fakt, že lidské mozky mohou být ovládány na krátkou vzdálenost rozhraními počítač-mozek. Reálnou proveditelnost ovládání činnosti mozků jednotlivců nebo velkých skupin obyvatelstva a jejich myšlení a chování na velkou vzdálenost elektromagnetickými vlnami nebo jinými fyzikálními poli, které v neuronech lidských mozků vyvolají elektrické proudy ve frekvencích jejich činnosti, nezveřejnila.

Bitva za zákaz technologií dálkového ovládání činnosti lidských mozků nemůže být zastavena rozhodnutím amerického prezidenta, že americké plynařské společnosti přestanou přijímat nové zakázky na zkapalněný zemní plyn pro Evropskou unii. Vlády nesmí být schopné proměnit své nebo cizí občany v hračky, se kterými si mohou dělat, co chtějí https://www.globalresearch.ca/why-governments-around-world-classify-information-about-effects-pulsed-mirowaves-extra-low-frequency-electromagnetic-waves-human-brains/5839545 . Evropský parlament zatím odhlasoval jenom legislativní usnesení a pořád je tedy možné přesvědčovat ho, aby v následném zákonu reálně zabránil možnosti dálkového ovládání lidských bytostí. Aby se toho dosáhlo, je možné podepsat petici, která žádá Evropský parlament, aby zákonem zakázal dálkové ovládání lidské nervové soustavy podpisem petice na adrese https://www.change.org/p/ban-remote-control-of-the-human-nervous-system (český předklad petice najdete na adrese https://www.svobodamysleni.cz/index.php/petice-evropskemu-parlamentu/ . Evropská unie by tak mohla dát příklad zbytku světa.

Jaderný reaktor EPR, který francouzská společnost EdF nabízí v českém tendru, se nachází i v projektech v Británii, Číně, Finsku a Francii. Na všech místech došlo ke zpoždění a růstu ceny. S potížemi se ale potýkají i další uchazeči o dostavbu elektrárny v Dukovanech. Hlavním důvodem je, že se na Západě jaderné elektrárny dvě dekády nestavěly, chyběli tak odborníci i zkušenosti
