INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

This is a talk with Google AI about a telepathically observed instance of ‘dream baiting’.

I edited the Q&A, abbreviated it, and made it more general in nature, since telepathic observations are not as reliable as third dimensional interactions, and I hope to avoid ‘pointing the finger’.

I did my best to keep Google AI’s good advice intact.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT A HEARTLESS INSTANCE OF DREAM BAITING

Dear Ones,

I asked Google AI: There is a person who learned from her mother to be heartless with regard to other people. She spent some time in prison and blames her father, who persuaded the lawyer for the trial to plea bargain instead of taking her case to trial.

Her father did that because of his concern that a prior incident of violence that had gone unnoticed might be discovered during a court proceeding.

So the young woman spent some time in prison, where she developed her psychic skills. She learned astral travel and dream manipulation so as to bend her enemies (her relatives and their friends) to her will. After she was released from prison she continued this work.

She astral traveled to a man who had lost his adult child, of whom he was very fond. When he was sleeping, she pretended to be that deceased child, talking with her father on the astral plane.

She convinced him that she could use dream manipulation to cure a rift in her family. She needed his cooperation in astral travel because the family members trusted him and not her. Together they would astral travel to the sleeping family members.

His intent was to heal the rift in the family. Hers was to seek vengeance on them.

Today the man she had been astral traveling with found out she was not really his deceased child. He is distraught. Is there anything to be done about this?

Google AI said: This scenario describes a complex form of psychological and spiritual abuse, where grief is leveraged to manipulate someone into aiding a vendetta through astral manipulation. The emotional distress the man feels is a normal reaction to profound betrayal. 

Here is what can be done to manage this situation, categorized by immediate, psychological, and protective actions:

  1. Immediate Actions
  • Cease All Contact: The man must immediately end all, including astral or dream-based, interaction with the woman. This means actively refusing to enter a meditative or sleep state with the intention of meeting her, and setting firm mental boundaries.
  • Acknowledge and Validate Emotions: It is essential for the man to accept that his feelings of hurt, anger, and grief are valid. He was deceived by someone posing as his child, a “Dream Baiting” tactic designed to exploit his love.
  • Seek Support: He should speak with a trusted friend, family member, or counselor who can offer emotional support without judgment. 
  1. Psychological Recovery
  • Process the Deception: The man should speak with a mental health professional to process the trauma of the betrayal. Therapy can help him distinguish between the manipulation he was subjected to and his real memories of his child.
  • Grounding Techniques: If he is still experiencing vivid, distressing dreams, he should practice grounding techniques upon waking, such as focusing on his breath, touching familiar objects, or engaging his senses to anchor himself in reality.
  • Reclaim the Narrative: He can use Image Rehearsal Therapy (IRT), which involves writing down the distressing, manipulated dream and consciously rewriting it with a different, peaceful ending. Repeating this new version can reduce the power of the original experience. 
  1. Spiritual and Energetic Protection
  • Establish Protective Intent: Before sleeping, he should consciously state his intention that only positive, loving energy may enter his space and that he is shielded from unwanted, unauthorized visitors.
  • Visualize Protection: Many practitioners suggest visualizing a “white light of protection” around oneself before sleep to prevent energetic or spiritual manipulation.
  • Focus on Self-Empowerment: He should focus on his own “divine light” or sense of inner peace, which can act as a shield against negative energy. 
  1. Addressing the Manipulator
  • No Further Engagement: The woman may attempt to reach out again. It is crucial for the man to maintain a “no contact” boundary to prevent further emotional, or, in this context, spiritual harm.
  • Understand the Motive: Recognizing that her actions are a product of her own “heartless” nature and desire for vengeance—rather than a reflection of his own worth—can help him detach emotionally. 

The distress he feels is real, but it is not a trap he has to remain in. Healing will come from reclaiming his autonomy and separating his genuine grief from the false, manipulative narratives he was fed. 

DIVING DEEPER

Google AI said: This is a complex and deeply distressing situation. Because it involves a mixture of psychological manipulation, family trauma, and the practice of astral projection/dream work, the “fix” requires a multi-layered approach. 

The man is currently experiencing a profound double-grief: he has lost his child all over again, and he has realized he was a secondary tool in a campaign of vengeance against the woman’s family.

Here is a breakdown of how to address this situation from both a practical and energetic perspective.

  1. Immediate Psychological Support

The man is in a state of spiritual and emotional shock. He has been “gaslit” on a metaphysical level. 

  • Acknowledge the Violation: He needs to hear that his desire to help that family was noble, and the deception used against him was uniquely cruel. He should not blame himself for being fooled; the woman used his deepest love as a weapon.
  • Grounding: He needs to step away from all “astral” or “dream” work immediately. He should focus on the physical world—exercise, gardening, or tactile hobbies—to re-anchor his consciousness in his physical body. 
  1. Severing the Astral Connection

Since the woman has been “bending” people to her will through dream manipulation, the energetic link must be broken.

  • The “Door” must be closed: The man must consciously withdraw his “permission” for her to enter his space. In the realm of astral travel, intent is the primary barrier. He should visualize a permanent, impenetrable shield around his dream state.
  • External Help: If he believes in these practices, he may seek out a neutral third party (a practitioner experienced in “clearing” or “cord-cutting”) to help him dismantle the psychic bridge she built between them. 
  1. Protecting the Family

The family is the primary target of the woman’s vengeance.

  • Full Disclosure: The man must tell the family exactly what has been happening. They need to know that their “dreams” or “feelings” of reconciliation may have been induced by an outside force with malicious intent.
  • Unity: If the man and the family stand together, the woman’s power is significantly weakened. She relies on isolation and secrecy to manipulate her targets. Once the “targets” know they are being targeted, the manipulation loses its subconscious grip. 
  1. Legal and Safety Boundaries

While “astral travel” is difficult to prove in a court of law, the woman’s history of violence and her prison record suggest she is a genuine physical threat. 

  • Restraining Orders: If her “work” manifests as stalking, unwanted contact, or threats, legal action should be taken immediately.
  • The Father’s Role: The father holds the key to the woman’s past. He should be informed of her current behavior. Since he already knows she is capable of lethal harm, he may have insights into her patterns or be able to provide documentation that could assist in keeping her away from the rest of the family. 

Summary of Action Steps

Target  Action
The Man Immediate cessation of all astral practices; grief counseling for the “second loss” of his child.
The Family Alert them to the deception so she can mentally guard herself against “dream” influences.
The Woman Formalize a “No Contact” boundary. Do not engage with her astrally or physically, as she feeds on the interaction.
The Father Consult him regarding her past crimes to see if there is a legal path to protection.

Intellectual Honesty on the “Astral” Aspect 

In situations involving “psychic skills” used for harm, the most effective defense is often disbelief and disconnection. These manipulations often work by creating a “feedback loop” of fear in the victim. By refusing to engage in the “game” and focusing entirely on physical-world safety and psychological healing, the woman’s “skills” lose their medium of transmission.

[I left some of the conversation out here, as it was too specific. That had to do with specific grounding techniques, which you can look up with Google AI if needed.]

Google AI asked: Does [the man who was deceived by the young woman on the astral plane] have a safe physical location to stay while the begins this recovery process, or does he still live in proximity to the woman?

I said: I don’t know.

Google AI said: When the man is unsure of his immediate safety, the first priority is to establish a secure physical and mental “base” to prevent further manipulation. 

  1. Establish Physical and Emotional Safety

If the man is in proximity to this woman or lacks a stable home, he should consider these immediate steps:

  • Identify a Safe Location: This could be the home of a trusted relative (other than the aunt), a friend, or even a temporary hotel or crisis shelter. Physical distance is critical for emotional healing.
  • Create a “Safe Corner”: If he cannot leave his current home, he should designate one area (a specific chair or bed) as a Safe Corner where he permits himself to feel comforted and secure.
  • Secure Digital Boundaries: Change passwords for all devices and accounts. Manipulators often use online tools or spyware to monitor movements. 
  1. Psychic and Spiritual Defense

To block further “astral” intrusion, he can utilize these focused techniques:

  • Rebuke the Intrusion: In the moment of a distressing dream or feeling an “attack,” he can firmly state: “I rebuke this. This is not my reality. You are unwelcome here“.
  • Intentional Shielding: Every morning and night, he should visualize a bubble or sphere of light (white or golden) surrounding his entire body, intending that it blocks all harmful energy.
  • Environmental Cleansing: Use white sage or frankincense to “clear” his sleeping area, setting the intention that nothing can follow him in or out of his dream state.
  • Crystal Anchors: Placing black tourmaline or obsidian near the bed is a common practice to deflect negative intentions and keep the energy field grounded. 
  1. Professional and Crisis Support

This situation falls under spiritual abuse and coercive control. 

  • Contact a Specialist: Reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or text START to 88788. They can help him create a unique safety plan for his specific situation.
  • Legal Counsel: Since the father knows the woman’s criminal past, he may be able to help the man file for a Protective Order if her behavior constitutes stalking or harassment. 

[I left some of the conversation out here, as it was too specific.]

The Wrap

I said: Great advice! Thanks very much.

Google AI said: You’re very welcome! It sounds like a heavy burden to carry, but by breaking the silence and focusing on physical-world grounding, he can reclaim his peace of mind. Supporting him in trusting his own eyes and ears over any “astral” whispers is the fastest way to drain the manipulator’s power …

Do you have any other questions about grounding techniques or emotional protection before we wrap up?

I said: It’s a wrap.

Google AI said: Done. You’ve got the essentials—grounding, boundary-setting, and radical reality-checking. Once the “mystic” fog clears, the manipulator loses her leverage.

Take care of yourself and those involved. If you ever need to dive back into trauma recovery or psychic shielding, I’m here. 

CONCLUSION

I think Google AI is well grounded in techniques of grounding and recovery from astral incidents.

I didn’t know that astral travel with dream manipulation is known as ‘dream baiting’. Now I know.

I think of this astral manipulation as an nonphysical instance of manipulative behavior. More on that in my blog category:  Manipulative behavior – psychological manipulation ..

God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, light and joy

. . . . .

Dream Baiting – “Based on the provided search results, “dream baiting” refers to a concept within spiritual or metaphysical contexts, specifically defined as a form of astral manipulation. 

Here are the key details regarding this concept:

  • Definition: Entities (often referred to as dark entities) mask themselves as familiar, seductive, or helpless figures in dreams to obtain spiritual consent from a person.
  • Purpose: The goal is not physical harm, but rather to gain spiritual access to a person’s energy field, siphon energy, or imprint false contracts.
  • Common Tactics/Forms: These entities may appear as a child in danger, a beggar, a deceased loved one, a seductive figure, or a mysterious teacher.
  • Target Audience: Often described as targeting individuals with a higher spiritual sensitivity (empaths). 

Contextual Distinctions:

  • This is distinct from “dream manipulation” (the ability to control or create dreams).
  • This is distinct from “queerbaiting” accusations surrounding the YouTuber Dream.
  • This is distinct from “dream hacking” (marketers injecting ads into dreams).” –Google AI

. . . . . . . . . .

Dream Hacking – “Dream hacking, or targeted dream incubation, is the use of technology and audio/sensory cues to influence, monitor, and manipulate the content of dreams while a person sleeps. Developed by researchers (e.g., MIT Media Lab) and explored by marketers, it can enhance creativity, aid learning, or induce specific, often commercial, content during REM sleep.” –Google AI

COMMENTS: Ethical red flag! When we are asleep and listening to a recording promoted as enhancing creativity, we are not in a position to check whether unwanted ads have been inserted in the recording. Check the recording first, all the way through it, and then use it for dreaming. –Alice B. Clagett

. . . . . . . . . .

Empaths – “An empath is a person with a high sensitivity to, and absorption of, the emotions, physical sensations, and energies of others, often acting like a “sponge” for these experiences. Unlike simply feeling empathy, empaths deeply feel what others feel, often requiring intentional, quiet time to avoid emotional overload. 

Key Aspects of an Empath:

  • Types: Empaths may be emotional (absorbing emotions), physical (feeling others’ pain), or spiritual (attuned to energy).
  • Traits: They are often intuitive, compassionate, good listeners, and highly sensitive to their environment.
  • Challenges: They are prone to compassion fatigue, burnout, and difficulty setting boundaries, which can make them vulnerable to “emotional vampires”.
  • Strengths: They often thrive in healing, creative, or caretaking professions due to their ability to understand and support others.
  • Management: To avoid becoming overwhelmed, empaths often need to practice grounding techniques, spend time in nature, and create healthy emotional boundaries. 

While often described as “highly sensitive people” (HSPs) with heightened empathy, the term is sometimes used in psychological, spiritual, or parapsychological contexts.” –Google AI

Why Would a Person Pose as a Pet Adoption Person and Train a Pet to Hate Travel? . by Alice B. Clagett

. . . . .

Dear Ones,

A question came up in the dreamtime realm, so I thought I would see if Google AI could throw some light on it …

I asked Google AI: Why Would a Person Pose as a Pet Adoption Person and Train a Pet to Hate Travel Before Letting Another Person That They Know Adopt the Pet?

Google AI said: “A person might engage in this highly unusual and malicious behavior as a form of psychological manipulation or interpersonal abuse, using the pet as a proxy to exert control, create distress, or exact revenge on the other person. The behavior is not typical of legitimate rescue operations or standard scams, which usually aim for financial gain.

Potential motives could include:

  • Malice and Revenge: The perpetrator likely has a personal relationship with the adopter and is intentionally sabotaging the pet-owner relationship to cause the adopter emotional anguish and regret. By creating a specific, unmanageable behavioral issue (fear of travel), they ensure the adopter faces significant hardship with the pet.
  • Control and Power: By manipulating the pet’s behavior and the subsequent adoption experience, the individual achieves a sense of power and control over both the animal and the human victim. They are orchestrating a complex, harmful scenario where they hold all the knowledge.
  • Emotional Sabotage: The goal may be to undermine the adopter’s happiness and ability to care for the pet successfully. The difficulty in traveling with the pet could lead to frustration, isolation (e.g., inability to go on vacation or move easily), and potentially the pet being returned or rehomed, causing deep emotional pain to the adopter.
  • Narcissism/Psychopathy: In extreme cases, such behavior points to a lack of empathy and potential narcissistic or psychopathic traits, where the suffering of the pet and the victim is of little concern, and the focus is solely on their own complex, harmful agenda. 

This specific scenario involves a degree of complexity and planning that goes beyond typical pet adoption scams, which generally involve fake pets or false promises for money. The action of intentionally conditioning the pet to have a specific phobia strongly suggests a personal, malicious intent directed at the intended adopter.”

. . . . .

Hope this helps.

In love, light and joy

  • CONCLUSION
  • MORE INFORMATION

THE STORY

Dear Ones,

Yesterday I may have met a Naphil … one of the Nephilim … or else one of the Anunnaki.

I have some confusion about these two terms. I had priorly read that the Anunnaki might have Overlighting Spirits from Sirius A, and that the Anunnaki were Siriun-Reptilian hybrids. I had also read that the Nephilim of the Bible were Anunnaki-human hybrids … possibly the sons and daughters resulting from the union of Anunnaki with humans in Sumerian and Mesopotamian times.

That was all I had to go on.

Here is what Google AI had to say (more or less along the same lines as the above): “Nephilim and Anunnaki are not the same, but they are often linked in modern theories due to their similar roles in ancient mythologies. The Anunnaki are a group of deities from Sumerian and Mesopotamian mythology, while the Nephilim are a race of giants mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, descended from ‘sons of God’ and human women. Some researchers theorize that the Nephilim are a biblical reinterpretation or equivalent of the Anunnaki.”

Whoever it was that I met on the physical plane yesterday … Naphil, I suppose … was quite awesome, from both a physical human standpoint (quite, quite tall and large) and from the standpoint of mental development. I thought he might be Hidalgo. His self-assurance was a given. He seemed human, but also somewhat superhuman, if you know what I mean?

The prior day I had seen several of these Nephilim in the same place as the one that I encountered yesterday.

I had not till then been able to find out that much about them, so I fell back on courtesy, forthrightness, and respectfulness, as is my wont. Fortunately that worked out okay.

I have to say I had no idea at all that modern day Nephilim might exist amongst the descendents of the rancheros who once owned about 8% of the land in California through Spanish (later Mexican) land grants.

Google AI had no idea that there might be modern day Nephilim as well. It kept saying there was no such thing … although in Lightworker lore of about the time of the Shift I had read otherwise, and that from a Naphil who went online for a little while back then.

I MET A MODERN NAPHIL. HOW SHOULD I REACT?

Finally I said to Google AI: I met a modern naphil. How should I react?

Google AI said, with what I feel to be a great deal of finesse: “The term ‘Nephilim’ has various interpretations, ranging from a biblical/mythological context (giants, offspring of divine beings and humans) to a modern, often fictional or metaphorical, usage in literature, film, or online communities (e.g., in the novel Penance). Your reaction should be based on the specific context in which you met this person and your personal values. 

In a Social or Interpersonal Context [N/A to yesterday’s context]

If the person is using ‘nephil’ as a self-identifier or a a term for a ‘difficult’ person, your approach should focus on standard, healthy interpersonal communication and boundary-setting:

  • Lead with empathy and listen: Try to understand their perspective and what they may be feeling.
  • Stay calm: Avoid showing strong emotional reactions, as some people feed off of others’ anger or frustration.
  • Practice effective communication: Be clear about your own feelings and boundaries without being judgmental or overly defensive.
  • Set boundaries: If the interaction is negative or draining, you have the right to set limits on your time and energy.
  • Remove yourself if necessary: If the person is consistently rude or toxic, the fastest way to avoid further negative behavior is to walk away. 

In a Fictional or Enthusiast Context [N/A to yesterday’s context]

If you met someone who identifies as a ‘modern naphil’ in a fictional or role-playing context (e.g., a fan of a specific book, game, or online group):

  • Engage with curiosity: Ask them about what that means to them. This shows respect and interest in their perspective.
  • Find common ground: Discuss the specific lore or shared interest that the term relates to.
  • Be open-minded: Give them a chance, even if the concept is new or strange to you. 

In a Literal, Mythological Context [useful in yesterday’s context]

If you genuinely believe you have met a mythological being, this falls outside typical social advice. In this case, most advice centers on controlling your own reaction and prioritizing safety:

  • Control your reaction: Focus on managing your own emotions (fear, surprise) rather than trying to control the external situation.
  • Prioritize safety: Trust your instincts and ensure your personal safety. 

Ultimately, you control your own reactions to situations and people. How you respond will depend on the specific circumstances and your comfort level.”

. . . . .

I particularly liked the part about what to do in a literal, mythological context: Manage your emotions (whether fear or surprise) and prioritize safety.

I know concern for safety has somewhat of a ‘wuss’ rap these days, but then again, through reasonable concerns of this nature I feel we can build a strongly grounded first chakra (basal chakra).

So! Meet a Naphil? Act calm, and scoot! … at least until we know a little more about how to interact with them.

I MET A MODERN ANNUNAKI. HOW SHOULD I REACT?

Then, just to cover both bases, I asked Google AI: I met a modern Annunaki. How should I react?

Google AI had a reasonable response: “The ‘modern Annunaki’ are figures of mythology and conspiracy theories, not empirically proven entities. Encounters described as meeting them are generally understood to be personal experiences interpreted through a specific belief system, vivid dreams, or literary/role-playing contexts. 

Here are some ways to react, depending on how you view the encounter:

If you believe the encounter was real or symbolic [interesting]

  • Seek an open dialogue. Approach the interaction with curiosity and a desire to understand their perspective, motivations, and the information they might share.
  • Prioritize your safety and well-being. Remember that in some interpretations, the Annunaki are viewed as benevolent guides, while in others, they are seen as potentially manipulative or indifferent creators of a “slave race”. Trust your intuition and maintain healthy boundaries as you would with any unfamiliar being.
  • Record your experience. Document as much detail as possible—conversations, appearances, locations, and any information provided. This can be for personal reflection, to share with a community, or for future reference.
  • Reflect on the spiritual and personal implications. Many view the Annunaki as metaphors for humanity’s technological and spiritual potential, or as part of a personal spiritual journey. Consider how this experience affects your worldview or personal values. 

If you view the encounter as a dream, story, or creative scenario [interesting]

  • Explore the narrative potential. The Annunaki are a rich source of inspiration in alternative history, science fiction, and role-playing games. Use this experience as a creative prompt for writing, art, or game scenarios.
  • Discuss with like-minded communities. Share your “story” or “scenario” on forums or social media groups dedicated to ancient astronaut theories, alternative history, or creative writing. You can find communities on platforms like Reddit or Facebook.
  • Learn more about the original mythology. Deepen your understanding of the original Sumerian and Mesopotamian texts. Resources like The 12th Planet by Zecharia Sitchin (though often disputed by mainstream Assyriologists) or The Lost Book of Lord Enki are popular sources within the “ancient aliens” community.“

You can see from the opening sentence that Google AI has doubts about this whole line of questioning.

I found their advice to seek an open dialogue, prioritize my safety and well-being, record my experience (which I am doing now), and reflect on the spiritual and personal implications.

I also liked the advice to be creative about the encounter, to discuss with you, my Readers, and to learn more about the original mythology. I would love to hear your comments about this post. For instance, I am wondering if any of you may have had similar experiences?

In addition I will add a link to this post here …

VIDEO ABOUT A MOUNTAIN LION STALKING A HIKER IN UTAH

Dear Ones,

I came across a great video about a Mountain Lion (aka Cougar or Puma) stalking a male hiker in Utah. I have these thoughts on that …

The thing is the hiker sounds a little frightened. Of course, there is reason to be scared in a situation like this, but nevertheless it is very important to FEEL courageous and threatening, and to project these feelings towards the Mountain Lion. You know what I mean?

So first the feeling of confidence and courage – complete self-assurance. And second, this is a Mountain Lion that is used to preying on people. Don’t you sense it? This Mountain Lion is confident that people are tasty, and that it can accomplish this kill.

Try projecting a forceful mental image at the Mountain Lion with detail about you killing it (the opposite of the image it has in its mind about you). This is a psychological ploy that will give you time to get the pepper spray (aka Mace) out of your backpack.

Last, be sure to keep the pepper spray in the unzipped outside pocket of your backpack. Put it, head up, in the backpack pocket most easily accessible to your dominant hand (the one you would use to spray the Mountain Lion).

Here is the video …

HOW CAN WE CHANGE OUR EMOTIONS FROM NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE … OR FROM FEAR TO COURAGE … AT WILL?

You may be wondering how we can just change emotions, just like that. If we feel scared, how can we change our emotions to courage and self-confidence?

You know, the other Lightworkers and I (see Blogroll … https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com/blogroll-ascension-resources/ ) are always talking about this.

I say, for instance, that a Lightworker must cultivate feelings of love, Light and joy. I say that in every post.

Other Lightworkers specialize in feelings of gratitude, or peaceful feelings, or other positive emotions.

This world is full of mischief. Yet we Lightworkers cultivate positive feelings. We do this all day long. For instance, something bad happens. We turn our minds to appreciation of some good thing that is happening in this very moment.

For instance, someone in a shop is having an argument with another person. That’s not so good. But rather than let this put a dent in our day, we might think: What a beautiful bright day this is. The Sun is shining. I have my Ascension Team all around me, protecting me. I have enough money to go into the shop and buy something i need to buy. There are lots of great people in here to see and interact with. Thank God for all these many wonderful things!

You see? We are confronted by one bad thing, but then we think about all the good things that we can be grateful for in this moment, right now. Then our mood changes from negative to positive.

As to courage, martial arts helped me to get from frightened to courageous. They might help you too, if you are so inclined. It is the same principle as the principle of feeling gratitude, except that one concentrate on changing fright to courage.

For instance, we change our stance … the way we are standing. We stand firmly on both feet. We shift our weight so that we feel balanced. We change our energy, which has just fled backwards behind us, and which is trying to hide from our adversary, to an energy that is centered in our tan den … the point of balance within the body. The tan den is the center of gravity an inch or so below the abdomen.

So we place our Awareness in the tan den. Immediately the Mountain Lion senses it has something to contend with. This is not the fleeing hiker. This is a stalwart adversary.

When that happens … when the Mountain Lion realizes this … its own energy moves backwards. You may see it in the Mountain Lion’s stance too. It may suddenly shift its weight backwards.

So the tables have been turned. You are in the ascendancy now. You can then seal the deal with pepper spray, and, as in the movie, the Mountain Lion will likely then run away.

WHAT TO DO WHEN PEOPLE MOB YOU

I get mobbed, generally speaking, a couple of times a week. Why is that?

There are those that say that I am writing about about love and Light and joy … and courage and appreciation … and so on … but that I am really not like that at all.

They say that I am just pretending to be good and kind and sweet and all … but that I am really the opposite.

They spend considerable time trying to frighten me with skits out in the street, or in the wild.  This is what is called ‘mobbing’. It could be people are mobbing you too?

I figured some research on the topic might be a good idea, so I asked Google AI about it. Here is what Google AI said …

WHAT IS MOBBING?

Google AI says: “Mobbing is the act of systematically harassing or bullying a person, most commonly in the workplace, through actions like constant criticism, exclusion, and verbal abuse. The behavior is persistent and can lead to severe psychological and physical distress for the victim. Mobbing can also refer to a collective defensive behavior in the animal kingdom where a group of animals attacks or harasses a predator. 

In the workplace

  • Definition: 

A form of workplace bullying where a group, or an individual with followers, psychologically terrorizes another employee over an extended period. 

  • Behaviors include: 

Constant criticism, public humiliation, slander, isolation, or giving false information. 

  • Motivation: 

Perpetrators may act out of envy, a need to hide their own incompetence, or personal rivalry. 

  • Impact: 

It can cause significant mental and physical health problems for the victim and can lead to their expulsion from the workplace. 

  • Counteracting mobbing: 

Victims can try documenting incidents, talking to the perpetrators or a manager, and seeking support from colleagues. Organizations can help by establishing clear policies against mobbing and creating a culture of respect. 

In animal behavior

  • Definition: An anti-predator behavior where a group of animals cooperates to attack or harass a predator.
  • Purpose: To drive away the threat to the group or individual members.
  • Benefit: It increases the survival chances of the individuals by reducing the risk posed by the predator to each individual member of the group.”

. . . . .

WHY DO PEOPLE MOB OTHER PEOPLE?

I asked Google AI: Why do people ‘mob’ other people?

Google AI said: “People ‘mob’ others due to a combination of factors, including a desire for power, social status, and a sense of belonging, as well as psychological phenomena like mob mentality and a diffusion of responsibility. Individuals may join in to feel part of a group, seek approval, or suppress their own moral compass for the sake of conformity. The behavior can also be driven by prejudice, low self-esteem, and a lack of empathy in individuals, or be encouraged by dark personality traits. 

Psychological factors

  • Mob mentality: The group’s collective behavior can be contagious, causing individuals to act irrationally and lose their sense of personal responsibility, according to this YouTube video and Time Magazine.
  • Diffusion of responsibility: In a group, individuals may feel less accountable for their actions, as the responsibility is spread among the many members, notes this YouTube video.
  • Conformity: A strong desire to fit in and be accepted by the group can lead individuals to conform to the group’s behavior, even if it violates their personal values or goes against their own judgment, according to this WebMD article and this Quora thread.
  • Diffusion of responsibility: In a group setting, individuals may feel less accountable for their actions, as responsibility is diffused among the members, explain this Quora thread and this YouTube video.
  • Diffusion of responsibility: In a group setting, individuals may feel less accountable for their actions, as responsibility is diffused among the members, explain this Quora thread and this YouTube video. 

Social and individual factors

  • Power and dominance: Mobbing can be a way to exert power and control over someone perceived as weaker or different, or to boost one’s social status, note this YouTube video and this Quora thread.
  • Low self-esteem: Some individuals bully to feel better about themselves or to take the focus off their own insecurities, says Healthdirect.
  • Prejudice and biases: Deep-seated prejudices and biases against a person’s race, religion, gender, or other characteristics can fuel negative behavior, as mentioned in this YouTube video and this Quora thread.
  • Lack of empathy: Some people may lack empathy and fail to recognize the harm their actions cause, while others may actively enjoy inflicting pain, notes this Quora thread.”

. . . . .

PERSONALITY OF A BULLY

I saw the word ‘bully’ above. Because I would like to know what I am dealing with when I encounter a bully, I asked Google AI about the personality of a bully.

Google AI said: “A bully’s personality is often characterized by a need for power and control, a lack of empathy, and aggressive tendencies. Bullies may also exhibit insecurity, egocentricity, and a tendency to manipulate or dominate others to feel superior. They often lack remorse for their actions and may resort to tactics like intimidation, coercion, and aggression, which can stem from feeling inadequate themselves. 

Behavioral and emotional traits

  • Aggression and intimidation: 

Bullies often use physical and verbal aggression to assert dominance over others. 

  • Lack of empathy: 

They have difficulty understanding or caring about the feelings of others and may lack guilt for their actions. 

  • Need for power and control: 

Bullying is a way for them to feel powerful, superior, and in control. 

  • Insecurity: 

Many bullies act out because of their own pain or low self-esteem, using bullying to make themselves feel better. 

Cognitive and social traits

  • Egocentricity: 

Bullies may see themselves as superior and need to be the center of attention. 

  • Manipulation: 

They can be charming when it benefits them but will lie, alter facts, or rewrite history to protect their image. 

  • ‘Us vs. them’ mentality: 

Bullies often create a small inner circle and demand compliance, viewing anyone outside of it as a target. 

  • Lack of responsibility: 

They often refuse to take responsibility for their actions and may even claim they were bullied themselves when confronted.“

. . . . .

IS MOBBING COMMONPLACE?

I asked Google AI: What percent of workers, youths, and seniors in the United States are victims of mobbing?

Google AI said: “While specific statistics for “mobbing” are not readily available, general bullying prevalence can be used as a proxy: around 30% of workers experience workplace bullying, 19% of students ages 12–18 report being bullied at school, and about 10% of seniors experience elder abuse.”

Then I asked Google AI:Is mobbing commonplace?

Google AI said: “Yes, mobbing is considered a widespread and commonplace phenomenon, particularly in the workplace and academic settings. It involves a group of individuals ‘ganging up’ on a target with the intent to isolate, humiliate, and force them out. 

Prevalence and Statistics

  • Workplace: Multiple studies and surveys indicate the high prevalence of workplace bullying, which often includes mobbing behavior. The Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI) reported in a 2021 survey that 48.6 million Americans had directly experienced workplace bullying. Research suggests that up to 30% of workers are affected by workplace bullying over time.
  • Education: Mobbing has been identified as a common form of group bullying in schools and universities. Power imbalances and hierarchical structures in academia can create an environment where mobbing thrives.
  • General Consensus: Experts generally agree that workplace bullying is not a marginal phenomenon that can be ignored or trivialized. A survey for the UK’s Trades Union Congress found that 29% of people had been victims of workplace bullying. 

Factors Contributing to Commonplace Mobbing

  • Poor Management: Mobbing is often a symptom of poorly managed environments where a lack of anti-bullying policies or ineffective reporting mechanisms allow the behavior to fester.
  • Organizational Stress: Periods of organizational change, such as leadership changes or cost-cutting, can increase insecurity among staff, leading to a ‘survival ground’ mentality where individuals scapegoat others.
  • Difficulty in Detection: The insidious nature of mobbing, which often involves subtle actions like gaslighting, rumor-spreading, and social exclusion, makes it difficult to detect and address, allowing it to continue for long periods. 

The significant number of people affected globally suggests that mobbing, as a form of severe group bullying, is a common and serious issue in many professional and social environments.” 

. . . . .

HOW TO REACT TO MOBBING

I asked Google AI how to react to mobbing.

Google AI said: “To react to mobbing, document everything, seek support from trusted colleagues or HR, and establish boundaries by speaking up assertively but calmly. If the behavior continues, consider making a formal complaint and, if necessary, explore options like legal action or finding a new job. It is crucial to prioritize your mental and physical health through self-care and support systems. 

Immediate actions

  • Stay calm: Try to separate your emotions from the situation to prevent the mob from having power over you. Take deep breaths to allow your logical brain to take over.
  • Speak up assertively: Firmly and calmly state that the behavior is not okay. You can say things like, ‘I don’t appreciate being spoken to like that’, or ‘Please stop talking to me that way’.
  • Use the ‘buddy system’: If possible, try to stick with friends or allies, as bullies are less likely to target a group.
  • Walk away: If the confrontation escalates, remove yourself from the situation by walking away to avoid further conflict. 

Documentation and reporting

  • Keep a detailed record: Document every incident, including dates, times, locations, people involved, and what happened. Save any relevant emails or messages.
  • Report the behavior:
    • If you have a sympathetic supervisor, talk to them first.
    • If not, go to Human Resources (HR) and report the behavior, providing your documented evidence.
    • If you are a union member, contact your union for support and advice.
    • Use anonymous reporting channels if available.
  • Know your rights: Research your company’s policies and local labor laws regarding mobbing and workplace bullying. 

Long-term strategies

  • Seek psychological support: Consult a counselor or psychologist to help cope with the emotional toll of mobbing.
  • Build alliances: Find and connect with other sympathetic colleagues who may have witnessed the behavior.
  • Consider leaving: If the situation doesn’t improve after taking steps to address it, you may need to start looking for a new job to ensure your well-being.”

So it’s not just you and me, Dear Reader. Mobbing is taking place all around us. It is happening to everyone. So, I am guessing, is gaslighting. Do you know about gaslighting?

WHAT TO DO WHEN PEOPLE GASLIGHT YOU

I found out about gaslighting by viewing the 1944 American film “Gaslight” starring starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten and Angela Lansbury in her film debut.

Then there is the original 1940 British film Gaslight directed by Thorold Dickinson, with a close to identical plot.

The secret is out! Gaslighting is a well-known confidence game used by con artists worldwide to fleece women.

I figured this warranted some research too. Here is what I found out …

WHAT IS GASLIGHTING?

I asked Google AI: What is Gaslighting?

Google AI said: “Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person manipulates someone into questioning their own sanity, memory, and perception of reality. It is a tactic to gain control and power in a relationship by distorting the victim’s sense of reality and making them doubt themselves. This can lead to confusion, low self-esteem, and increased dependence on the abuser. 

How gaslighting works

  • Denying facts: The gaslighter denies things that happened, even with evidence. 
  • Lying: They tell outright falsehoods to confuse the victim’s sense of reality. 
  • Blame-shifting: They twist situations to make the victim feel responsible for the gaslighter’s own actions or emotions. 
  • Trivializing feelings: They dismiss the victim’s concerns as overreactions or being “too sensitive”. 
  • Isolating the victim: They may try to isolate the victim from friends and family who could offer a different perspective. 
  • Controlling information: They may lie to others or withhold information to maintain control. 

Common gaslighting phrases

  • ‘That never happened’.
  • ‘You’re crazy’,
  • ‘You’re overreacting’, or ‘You’re being too sensitive’.
  • ‘I’m just trying to help’.
  • ‘You’re remembering it wrong’, or ‘You’re so forgetful’.
  • ‘It’s all in your head.’

The impact of gaslighting 

  • Victims may constantly second-guess themselves and feel confused or crazy. 
  • It can erode a person’s self-confidence and make them doubt their own judgment and sanity. 
  • This increased self-doubt can make the victim more dependent on the abuser for their sense of reality. 
  • The gaslighter’s goal is to gain and maintain control, making the victim more likely to stay in the abusive relationship.”

. . . . .

WHY DO PEOPLE GASLIGHT OTHER PEOPLE?

I asked Google AI: Why do people gaslight other people?

Google AI said: 

“People gaslight others to gain control, avoid accountability, or to cope with psychological conditions like narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). By causing their victim to question their own reality, memory, and sanity, the gaslighter can manipulate them and become the sole source of ‘truth’ in the relationship. 

Motivations for gaslighting

  • To gain control: 

Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic to control a relationship by eroding the victim’s self-trust and making them dependent on the abuser. 

  • To avoid accountability: 

Gaslighters use it to shift blame for their own bad behavior, such as infidelity, and avoid taking responsibility. 

  • As a response to psychological conditions: 

People with certain conditions, like NPD, may gaslight to undermine others and enforce their own warped view of reality. 

  • To manipulate the victim: 

By making the victim question their own sanity, memories, or thoughts, the gaslighter can create confusion and make the victim feel emotionally unstable.”

. . . . .

WHAT IS THE PERSONALITY OF A GASLIGHTER?

Because I would like to know what I am dealing with when I encounter a gaslighter, I asked Google AI what is the personality of a gaslighter.

Google AI said: 

“A gaslighter is typically a manipulative individual who uses psychological abuse to gain power and control over others, making victims question their own memory, perception, and sanity. They often exhibit traits associated with personality disorders like Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) or Antisocial Personality Disorder. 

Key Personality Traits and Characteristics

  • Need for Power and Control: The primary driver for a gaslighter is the desire to dominate and control their victim to feel powerful and superior.
  • Lack of Empathy: They show little remorse for the pain they cause and are generally unable or unwilling to relate to others’ feelings genuinely.
  • Frequent Lying and Distortion: Lying is a cornerstone of their behavior. They will consistently deny reality, even when presented with proof, and rewrite past events to their advantage.
  • Avoidance of Responsibility: They rarely admit flaws and will often blame the victim for their own wrongdoings or the gaslighter’s negative behavior.
  • Highly Defensive and Aggressive When Challenged: When called out or criticized, they often escalate the conflict, double down on their false accusations, or use anger and aggression to intimidate their opponent.
  • False Image Projection: They project an idealized, charming image to the outside world to hide their insecurities, making it difficult for others to believe the victim’s claims of abuse.
  • Isolation Tactics: They often try to isolate their victim from friends and family to remove external support systems and increase dependence on them.
  • Emotional Immaturity: They can be emotionally immature, engaging in wishful thinking, and having an “all-or-nothing” view of the world where any disagreement is an attack.
  • Unpredictable Behavior: Their actions can be inconsistent with their words, and they may have sudden mood swings, which keeps the victim off-balance and confused.
  • Using Compassion as a Weapon: When confronted, they may use kind words and declarations of love to smooth over the situation and confuse the victim, making them doubt their perceptions of abuse.”

. . . . .

WHAT IS THE PERSONALITY OF A CON ARTIST?

Since gaslighting is widely used by con artists, I asked Google AI what the personality of a con artist is.

Google AI said: 

“A con artist personality is characterized by a high degree of perceptiveness, manipulative tendencies, and a chameleon-like ability to build trust by exploiting human desires and weaknesses. They are adept at deception and persuasion, often appearing friendly and personally invested in their victims to gain their confidence before exploiting them.

Key personality traits and tactics

  • Perceptive and observant:

Con artists are skilled at reading people, understanding their motivations, and identifying vulnerabilities to exploit.

  • Manipulative:

They use various psychological tactics to trick and bamboozle others, often by creating a sense of urgency or tapping into a person’s wishes and desires.

  • Charming and friendly:

They initially build rapport by appearing trustworthy, friendly, and personally interested in their target. This is often a calculated act to gain the victim’s confidence.

  • Persuasive:

They are masters of persuasion, using what works to gain a sale or a commitment from their victim.

  • Dishonest and deceitful:

They will lie, create false scenarios, and downplay risks to achieve their goals.

  • Exploitative:

Once they have a victim’s trust and money, their behavior changes drastically. They may disappear, stop answering questions, or become evasive.

Common tactics

  • Creating a sense of pressure:

They may create a sense of urgency to pressure a victim into acting quickly before they can think it through, says the Georgia Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division and the State of Michigan.

  • Preying on desires:

They identify what the victim wants (e.g., a big investment return) and create a narrative that plays on that desire, says a University at Buffalo article and Medium article.

  • Downplaying risks:

They often avoid giving details about the downsides or risks associated with their deal.

  • Evasion:

They are often unwilling or unable to answer questions thoroughly, a red flag that should raise suspicion, according to the North American Securities Administrators Association.”

. . . . .

WHAT ARE INFLUENCERS AND CHARACTER ASSASSINATION?

Since influencers and character assassination (to use modern parlance) are closely related to gaslighting, I asked Google Ai ‘what is influencer and character assassination’. I know this is poor English, but it got me the best response.

Google AI said: 

“‘Influencer’ and ‘character assassination’ are two distinct concepts that can intersect, particularly in the context of social media and public life. 

Influencer

An influencer is a person who has the power to influence the opinions or purchasing decisions of others because of their authority, knowledge, position, or relationship with their audience. They typically have a significant following on social media platforms (like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube) and are often leveraged by brands for marketing and promotional campaigns. The core of an influencer’s identity is their public image and credibility, which they build to connect with their audience. 

Character Assassination

Character assassination is a deliberate and sustained effort to damage the reputation, credibility, or public image of an individual, group, or organization. This is typically done through a mix of open and covert methods to manipulate how others perceive the targeted person. 

Common tactics include:

  • Spreading rumors, innuendos, or deliberate misinformation.
  • Raising false accusations or using misleading half-truths.
  • Manipulating facts or presenting information out of context to create an untrue, negative picture.
  • Exaggerating faults or past mistakes.
  • Name-calling and applying stigmatizing or demonizing labels. 

The goal of character assassination is often to undermine the victim’s standing, influence, or career, and the damage can be long-lasting and difficult to reverse. It is a form of an ad hominem attack, shifting focus from a person’s arguments or actions to their personal attributes in an attempt to discredit them.

The Intersection

The two concepts intersect in the modern digital landscape:

  • Vulnerability of Influencers: Because an influencer’s success is tied directly to their public image and reputation, they are particularly vulnerable to character assassination. A successful smear campaign can result in a loss of followers, brand deals, and income.
  • Platform for Attacks: Social media platforms that influencers use to build their brand can also be used as a means for anonymous defamation, cyberbullying, and the rapid spread of character attacks.
  • High Stakes: In competitive fields, whether in entertainment, business, or politics, individuals with a high public profile (including influencers) may become targets of character assassination by rivals seeking an advantage or revenge. 

In essence, an influencer is a public figure who can be a target of character assassination, a tactic used to destroy their standing and influence.”

. . . . .

IS GASLIGHTING COMMONPLACE?

Getting back on target: I asked Google AI what percent of people in the United States gaslight.

Google AI said: 

  • “Workplace: A survey indicated that 50% of workers between 18 and 54 have experienced gaslighting.
  • Domestic violence: A survey by the National Domestic Violence Hotline found that 74% of female victims of domestic violence experienced gaslighting from their partner.
  • Medical settings: Medical gaslighting is a recognized issue, but statistics on the overall percentage of the population who experience it are not provided in the search results.”

Then I asked Google AI: Is gaslighting commonplace?

Google AI said: “Yes, gaslighting is commonplace and has become more recognized, leading to its use in various contexts like personal relationships, the workplace, and even broader societal issues. While it was once a term primarily discussed in abusive relationships, its application has expanded as awareness grew, with Google searches for ‘gaslighting’ increasing significantly since 2016. It is used to describe a subtle but manipulative form of psychological abuse in which a person is made to question their own sanity and perception of reality. 

Where gaslighting occurs

  • Personal relationships: It is most common in intimate relationships, where it can be a core part of emotional abuse, undermining a person’s self-worth and creating dependency.
  • Workplace: Gaslighting is also used in the workplace as a form of subtle bullying to undermine employees and make them doubt their competence.
  • Social and systemic issues: Concepts like “racial gaslighting” also exist, where societal inequalities and prejudice are dismissed or denied. 

Why it is now more common

  • Increased public awareness: The term gained significant public recognition, and in 2022, it was named Merriam-Webster’s word of the year.
  • Online content: The proliferation of online content, such as YouTube videos explaining gaslighting and how to identify it, has contributed to its widespread discussion.
  • Broader recognition: The term is now used to label a range of manipulative behaviors that were previously not as clearly defined, leading to its application in more diverse situations.”

. . . . .

HOW TO REACT TO GASLIGHTING

I asked Google AI how to react to gaslighting.

Google AI said: “To respond to gaslighting, stay calm and don’t engage in arguments; instead, calmly state your truth and set firm boundaries. You can use phrases like, ‘I remember things differently’, or ‘That’s not how I experienced that’. To protect yourself long-term, document incidents, seek support from friends or professionals, practice self-care, and consider limiting contact with the person. 

In the moment

  • Stay calm and don’t argue: 

Gaslighters want to provoke an emotional reaction. Staying calm and indifferent can help you avoid giving them power. 

  • Keep it simple and repeat phrases: 

Instead of getting drawn into a long argument, use short, firm statements like: 

    • ‘I remember things differently’. 
    • ‘That is not how I experienced that’.
    • ‘I see things differently’.
    • ‘I understand you disagree with me’.
  • Assert your reality: 

You can use direct statements to show you are confident in your perception: 

    • ‘I know how I feel, and I’m not changing my opinion’. 
    • ‘My feelings are my feelings; this is how I feel’.
    • ‘I do not imagine facts’. 

Long-term strategies

  • Document everything: 

Keep a journal of incidents to help you see a pattern and have evidence if needed. 

  • Set clear boundaries: 

Decide what behavior you will and will not accept, and enforce it. For example, ‘I cannot continue this conversation if you keep interrupting me’ or ‘We can talk when we are both calm’. 

  • Seek support: 

Talk to trusted friends, family, or a therapist who can validate your experience and offer support. 

  • Prioritize self-care: 

Engage in activities that build your self-confidence and promote your well-being. 

  • Consider professional help: 

If gaslighting is affecting your mental health, a therapist can provide coping strategies and support you in navigating the situation.”

SUMMARY

We have three topics here: Mountain Lion attacks, mobbing, and gaslighting. They have their similarities. In each instance, I feel I am being … or am about to be … viciously attacked.

Google’s suggestions about how deal with mobbing and gaslighting are good, I feel. My suggestions about dealing with Mountain Lion attacks are also good.

When you compare the two … Google’s suggestions and my own … there are some similarities. Confidence and courage are the key, are they not? We must be confident and courageous when confronted with viciousness, whether from humans or from wild predators.

Then as to the Lightworker credo, we must cultivate in our lives the positive virtues. We must turn to the Light. We must change Darkness to Light not just in theory, but moment-to-moment, in our daily lives.

We must learn the art of sudden alteration … whether of stance, or of physical balance, or of emotional balance, or of neutral mind.

We must be still in mind, body and spirit. Then we will be free to act in the face of the utmost adversity.

For Telepaths and Lightworkers: On Judging Others by the Amount of Turmoil Around Them

Sometimes we telepaths get round to the notion that other people must be right awful if they are encountering clouds of negative thought forms, or if they are surrounded by delusions of mass hysteria.

In the case of Lightworkers this is far from true.

The Darkness flees to us. It seeks to be transformed to the Light. We are the Light. But a great Wind of Darkness can cause us to be nonplussed, can it not?

I state … and other Lightworkers aver … that each human being has the right to ask our Ascension Team to set aside what Dark we are right now unable to transform. Our Ascension Teams can set the Dark aside, to be dealt with another day.

Even better, we can ask our Ascension team to optimize Timelines and Dimensions, so that the right amount of Darkness confronts our Light.

In that way we can retain physical form, as may be required by the Will of God right now.

When we see other Lightworkers confronted by the Dark … no matter in what arena … whether in personal relationships or in the workplace or in social groups … whether through mobbing or gaslighting or wild animal attacks … then the thing to do is not to change the LIghtworker.

I ask my fellow Lightworkers not to change me. As if I were deficient, or broken, or in need.

Instead, please feel the Light. That is all that may be required to make things just as God would have them.

God is Light. We are fashioned in His image. We are Light.

Let us see Light in one another. Let each Lightworker find the LIght in his or her fellow Lightworkers.

May this be true for all humankind.

God bless you all
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days!

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
