Matthew Nihra: As many have said, Earth is the school of Duality. Where great benefits are to be had, there may be great drawbacks as well. Earlier in this video the series author described the following post-Shift phenomena: What is termed by others: ‘Noospheric dissonance’ and what she terms ‘astral chatter’ …

These are factors in what might be termed ‘shared vivid waking dreams’. Such dreams seem to have been rising to the Awareness of many people since the 2012 Shift.
It seems to us that these ‘shared vivid waking dreams’ might be akin to what psychologists and psychiatrists term ‘mass hysteria’ or ‘mass psychogenic illness’.

One such instance is depicted in this image before you. This is a painting of people caught up in one of the ‘dancing plagues’ of the Middle Ages. Psychologists today feel these mysterious incidents were sparked by ‘mass hysteria’.

. . . . .
According to what I hear through my clair senses, sometimes these shared vivid waking dreams are simply ‘suffered through’ on the astral plane, by a group of people.

. . . . .
Other times emotional momentum builds up on the astral plane, and one or two people … or maybe many people … ‘act out’ on the physical plane some aspect of the ‘shared dreams’.

For those readers who are clairaudient, this hypothesis can be validated … or invalidated, as the case may be … by journaling what seem to be ‘shared vivid waking dreams’ that are rampaging about through the noosphere … and then by checking the newspaper headlines to find out if the dreams have been ‘acted out’.

Government-Localized Mass Hysteria: Russian Invasion of the Ukraine
One such instance of mass hysteria is Russia’s incursion into the Ukraine in February 2022. I feel certain that this incursion had to do with Ascension symptoms experienced by Russian leaders at that time.
What a price has been paid, in terms of human suffering, in this instance of a ‘shared vivid waking dream’ to do with soldierly honor and willingness to suffer for one’s country!

. . . . .
Global Mass Hysteria: Panic Response to the COVID Pandemic
Here is another instance of mass hysteria: I feel certain that my discerning readers noticed great masses of people … including those who make the laws in government … exhibiting this or that stress response to the COVID pandemic that began in March 2020. Like all the people on Earth today, some of our lawmakers responded to the COVID pandemic by fighting, or by fleeing, or through the ‘freeze, fawn, or flop’ response.
I noticed in mid-September 2022, that those who make the laws for a certain California county had finally snapped out of the ‘freeze response’ and repealed a clearly illegal tenant eviction protection law that had been in place since near the beginning of the COVID pandemic.
In point of fact, a case could be made for the global COVID pandemic as an instance of mass hysteria egged on by catastrophic media reports.

Medium-Sized Town Mass Hysteria … Upwelling of Rape Energy
Alice B. Clagett: In the last ‘Solar Maximum’, I clairly noticed a similar case of mass hysteria as noospheric threads of rape energy … both animal and human … surged through a medium-sized Western town. That reminded me of this famous painting by Jacques-Louis Daveed: “The Intervention of the Sabine Women. “ That incident had to do with a legend about mass kidnapping and rape of young women by Roman men.

. . . . .
This detail from the painting shows how mass rape conflicts with women’s instincts to protect their children.
Instances such as the Western town rape energy, which I only noticed on the astral plane, may be compared to real life instances of mass hysteria …

… such as the international sightings of ‘evil clowns’ in the year 2016; …

. . . . .
… and the ongoing instances of Guy Fawkes sightings. I feel these may have to do with women’s fears of being stalked and murdered.

Conclusion
In the instance of the Western town, I was able to change locations and escape the mass hysteria. But in the current Solar Maximum, and what with the goading of mass media, the COVID mass hysteria has been a global event.
To what destination may an awakened human being flee in such an instance? How can the awakened human being ‘fight’ with the astral emotions of everyone on the globe? What good are the ‘freeze, fawn, and flop responses’ to the awakened human during such a global catastrophe? They are very little use at all.

. . . . .
During instances of mass hysteria to do with the Ascension process … during Solar events post-Shift, such as the solstices, equinoxes and gateways … and especially now, during the geostorms and solar wind gusts of the Solar Maximum … I feel it would be good to avoid the ‘fight-or-flight’ and the ‘freeze, fawn, and flop responses’.
If we become aware that we are responding aggressively to everyday situations … or if we are overly anxious … or if we just feel like withdrawing and hiding from it all, there are very simple remedies. These have to do with the breath and the ancient science of yoga … which is to say, the yoking of our energy fields with the Universe and with God.
The why, the ‘wherefore’, and the ‘how-to’ are coming up next. → https://wp.me/p2Rkym-v76 ..
