‘Take Shelter’ . movie review by Alice B. Clagett

Dear Ones,

I skimmed through the movie ‘Take Shelter’ the other day …

Link: “Take Shelter,” IMDb … https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1675192/ ..

I find the movie interesting because the recurring images experienced by the male protagonist seem like what I term ‘image words’ from the gut brain (the subconscious mind’s vocabulary). It is good how the ending shows that a family can stand together and shelter in faith in each other, and love of each other, even if the subconscious mind is creating what the Ascensioneers call ‘vivid waking dreams’, in the case of the movie, more like vivid waking nightmares.

The movie also shows how one person’s fearful ‘mental filter’ (that of the husband in the movie) can influence another person (in this case the wife) to take on the same ‘mental filter’.

As a phenomenon, the tendency of the human mind to broadcast mental filters can be either good or bad. The difference has to do with the tenor of the emotional portion of the images that are broadcast. Is the emotion negative or positive? That is the key to the effect that broadcasting of one’s own mental filters has on other people.

For instance, in the movie ‘Take Shelter’ one of the visually striking images that recur in the mind of the male protagonist is a ‘murmuration’ of birds, perhaps starlings or sparrows. This is an aerial phenomenon rather like the simultaneous turning and wheeling motion of schools of fish in the water …

Video: “School of Fish,” by Earth Rangers, 25 July 2012 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su1en9Vxpog ..

In the movie ‘Take Shelter’, the male protagonist feels a recurring anxious feeling, a feeling of  foreboding. It is, I feel, because of the negative tenor of his emotion that he takes his recurring image of a murmuration of dark-colored birds to be an omen of impending apocalypse.

Yet many people see a murmuration of birds, and feel joy or wonderment when they see it. Such is the case with the young women in this video …

Video: “Murmuration (Official Video) by Sophie Windsor Clive & Liberty Smith,” by IslandsAndRivers 2 December 2011 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRNqhi2ka9k ..

It is clear, then, that it is the feeling that accompanies visualization of an image that causes its perception as a good image or a bad image.

When a person has recurring images popping up from the subconscious mind, and when these images are accompanied by a strongly negative emotion … one that is hard to deal with without ‘acting out’ … then psychologists might term that condition Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (as with COVID stress). Or they might term it ‘generalized anxiety’; or if the emotions get out of hand, they might term it ‘panic attack’. There is also the psychological term ‘paranoid schizophrenia’, which I gather might be a label for recurring ‘panic attacks’ as in the movie.

Broadcasting of mental filters has a good effect in cases where a person’s mental filters allow him to send forth uplifting images from the subconscious mind. In these instances, families or groups such as social circles and church congregations can stand together with courage against adversity.

Broadcasting of mental filters has a bad effect in cases such as that in the movie, where the protagonist’s fearful mental images cause his wife to become fearful, and cause his Ohio small town community to turn against him and label him mentally imbalanced. Broadcasting of negatively aspected mental filters can, I feel, cause what is termed ‘folie à deux’, ‘folie à famille’, ‘folie à coterie’ (that is, a delusion shared by two people, by a family, or by a small group); or in the case of crowds of people, ‘mass hysteria’. The latter may take place across a town, or across a nation, or even … due to the near-instantaneous nature of global communication … worldwide, as is the case with COVID fears.

Please do not misunderstand: It is not that we ought not take proper precautions regarding COVID; it is just that negatively aspected images to do with COVID can cause inappropriate actions … or no action at all, when action is in fact needed so as to preserve life. For instance, it may well be that COVID vaccines are a ‘hard sell’ worldwide because people are experiencing ‘fawn’, ‘freeze’, or ‘flop’ types of threat responses after taking in too much in the way of online images that cause them to feel the emotion of fear regarding COVID.

In cases where a person is affected by other people’s broadcasting of negatively aspected mental filters (such as with the relentless COVID newscasts last year), the person must learn to view negatively aspected mental images with a neutral mind, as does the male protagonist in the movie ‘Take Shelter’. Through cutting down on visual intake of negative images … for instance, by limiting one’s viewing of negative images online … anxiety about the future can be dealt with nonreactively. Or one may simply stand strong and still, while the image is visualized, until the negative feeling ebbs away.

That means to me that the true ‘shelter’ for one’s mind is a strong, still, neutral stance of mind despite the ups and downs of daily life.

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

Immediately Still Incoming ‘Gut Brain’ Telepathy . by Alice B. Clagett *

Dear Ones,

Lately there has been just so much astral chatter … so much incoming ‘gut brain’ telepathy … that it has been distracting, I feel. Today I thought back to the beginning of the last solar cycle, Solar Cycle 24, and how I was listening to various ‘Binaural Beats’ brainwave recordings back then.

I tried ‘manually’ changing the length of the brainwaves I was experiencing from shorter to longer length, to see if that would cause the unwanted telepathic input to let go. It worked partially, so I went back to my library of ‘Binaural Beats’ and tried the theta recording.

I am happy to say it worked immediately, and is working now, although the recording has stopped.

Is the Global COVID Response an Instance of Mass Hysteria? . by Alice B. Clagett

Dear Ones,

MODERN-DAY INSTANCES OF MASS HYSTERIA, BOTH REGIONAL AND GLOBAL

It seems to me that the global response to COVID-19 is an anomaly. I feel, intuitively, that the response does not match the stimulus.

I am reminded of an upwelling of fear-based feelings in the Durango, Colorado, community in the winter of 2015. It seems to me that the global COVID-19 response is like that, but global in nature.

GLOBAL INSANITY, CHAOTIC NODES, AND COGNITIVE DISSONANCE

I note that Yogi Bhajan, in the 1970’s, offered a prophetic notion of insanity in the coming times, and how we can help by giving other people hope …

Link: “Yogi Bhajan Lecture: Expand: Now Is the Time,” 1 December 1974 … https://studentsofyogibhajan.com/expand-now-is-the-time/ ..

I note that well known sound healer Tom Kenyon predicted chaotic nodes and cognitive dissonance in his Hathor Archives, beginning in the the early 2000s …

Link: “Cognitive and Emotional Challenges During Chaotic Nodes: A Hathor Planetary Message Through Tom Kenyon,” 14 October 2013 … https://tomkenyon.com/cognitive-and-emotional-challenges-during-chaotic-nodes ..

In addition, there have been Buddhist and Christian prophecies about fear-based responses by public officials to relatively rapid changes in the social order, in Earth’s climate, and in human Awareness. It seems to me these rapid changes may be causing speculation about End Times and a Second Coming, referred to by Ascensioneers, in a positive sense, as the Time of New Beginning.

I see that, just as Yogi Bhajan, Tom Kenyon, and Buddhist and Christian visionaries predicted, the peoples of the developed countries of Earth are suffering from a form of madness right now.

SOLAR EVENTS AS CAUSES OF MASS HYSTERIA

I had priorly hypothesized that wellings up of cognitive dissonance might be occurring due to Solar events such as Earth-directed coronal mass ejections and solar winds. I still feel Solar events to be contributing factors.

However, we are in a time of unprecedentedly deep solar minimum, and so the current issues we face, with regard to overblown, fear-based governmental response to health challenges, must have to do with factors other than solar events.

VIRTUAL REALITY PSYCHOSIS AND SENSORY DEPRIVATION AS CONTRIBUTING FACTORS

I am pegging the issue that came up in Durango in the fall of 2015 and the current response to the COVID-19 pandemic to be waves of mass hysteria, now global in nature, possibly triggered by virtual reality psychosis. (See my blog category: Virtual reality psychosis ..)

I feel that plugging in to the virtual reality is causing sensory deprivation … almost like being in a sensory isolation chamber … for the populations of the developed nations of Earth (which have access to handhelds and computers).

Virtual reality overstimulates the visual and auditory senses. What is lacking is interactivity with the physical community, the sense of tribe, the sense of touching another human being, the subtle input of facial expression that cements our emotional responses to the emotions of those around us.

COVID-ENFORCED PREVENTION OF ACCESS TO PUBLIC LANDS AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR

This sensory deprivation has been made worse all over Earth by the COVID epidemic isolation restrictions. For instance, at a time when grounding with Earth is essential to our sanity here in Los Angeles, there are mayoral restrictions on dirt time. One is not allowed to sit on the Earth in this city. Campgrounds, which might save Angelenos and return us to sanity, are also shut down. How can the government prevent us from walking on our own ground, our own publicly owned natural lands? How can that possibly be, I wonder?

COVID-ENFORCED SOCIAL ISOLATION AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR

How could public officials suggest retreat to virtual reality, in work and play, or as a substitute for family and friendly relationships, when virtual reality may well lower our immune response and worsen the health challenges we face? Many countries of Earth, I feel, intuitively sense this to be so; COVID restrictions in those countries reflect their more grounded approach to health care, and the lower number of COVID deaths in those countries vouches for their probity.

GUIDELINES FOR STAYING SAFE, AND TO HELP PUBLIC OFFICIALS NOT OVER-REACT TO NOVEL FEARFUL EVENTS

Some while ago I wrote up guidelines for staying safe, and guidelines to help public officials not to over-react because of fear during Solar events. Even though we are in a deep Solar Minimum, we are seeing overblown fear-based governmental responses to health challenges today. Thus it could be that my earlier work will be a helpful read …

A 3-MINUTE ‘ESCAPE HATCH’ TECHNIQUE TO PREVENT FEAR-BASED ACTIONS IN THE WORLD

In addition, I recall a three-minute exercise to calm the mind, that I used to teach my yoga students in the 1980’s with unfailingly positive response. Anyone at all can do that exercise, and still the waves of noospheric chaos whenever they threaten to impinge on one’s actions in the world …

Compendium: Heaven’s Door . Geostorms as Dimensional Portals . by Alice B. Clagett *

Dear Ones,

Here is a list of blogs offering my original insights on geostorm hallucinations as dimensional portals … portals to the alternate realities so often described, with eerie similarities, by mystics throughout history …
