I have never seemed to be able to verify the mandela effect.

I think it's more a result of us assuming that our memories are solid. Did you know that when you remember something, it gets re recorded in a different way?

Perhaps the mandela effect is a milder version of what's described here. Perhaps it came about because of the internet, which is full of conflicting information.

Perhaps it is a form of what was described in the movie Inception where an idea can grow and later seem to be true.

"Daimonic Reality by Patrick Harpur examines UFOs and a wide variety of “paranormal” phenomena from a rather unique angle. Although Harpur never fully defines the daimonic—“the daimonic that can be defined is not the true daimonic,” as Lao-Tse would say—it seems to exist both inside us and outside us. Like the Greek daemon and unlike the Christian demon, it takes both good/healing and bad/terrifying forms, depending on our commitment to rationalistic ego states.

In a sense, the daimonic is like the collective unconscious of Carl Jung, inside us as a part of our total self that the ego wishes to deny, outside us in all the other humans who ever existed and in the dreams, myths, and arts of all the world. But Harpur follows Irish poet (and Golden Dawn alumnus) W. B. Yeats as often as he follows Jung, and traces some of his ideas back to Giordano Bruno and the alchemical/hermetic mystics of the Renaissance. The daimonic is just a bit more personalized and individualized than Jung’s species unconscious.

Harpur’s major thesis is that unless we recognize the daimonic (make friends with it, Jung would say) it takes increasingly malignant and terrifying forms. For instance, the Greys of UFO abduction lore, he says, are deliberately mirroring our ego-centered and “scientistic” age—showing no emotions of the humans they experiment upon, just as the ideal science student feels no emotion and has no concern with the emotions of the animal being tortured in his laboratory."

Despite dealing with many subjects common to conspiracy theories, this book does not quite fit into that category. We are the conspirators, so to speak. We have repressed the most creative part of ourselves and now it is escaping in terrifying forms."

Confabulation

Confabulation involves your brain filling in gaps that are missing in your memories to make more sense of them. This isn't lying, but rather remembering details that never happened. Confabulation tends to increase with age.

Misleading Post-Event Information

Information that you learn after an event can change your memory of an event. This includes even subtle information and helps to explain why eyewitness testimony can be unreliable.

Yep, memory gets re written.

The Eyewitness testimony example reminds me of UFO sightings and religious events like when a few girls saw the Virgin Mary. Because the story was believable, more and more people saw it, even though there was no solid proof besides what people claimed to see.

My brother has Alzheimers and sometimes speaks in a similar manner when he's trying to remember events in his life. He patches things together, even memories he WISHES were true. But unlike my sweet brother Danny, Biden has always been a compulsive liar....

So sorry for your brother....eff Biden and his abusive caretakers, though.

I absolutely believe we are jumping timelines, and here's my mandela effect. I am a voracious reader, some years reading 300 books, most years 200 average. Since childhood. In all those years, I never ONCE heard the term "quieten". Since 2020, it is everywhere. I pointed it out to my daughter and she had the same feeling, that we had never even heard that term (she is also a voracious reader) and now here it was in at least 60% of the novels I was reading. So yes, I think CERN has been flipping us into alternative timelines. There's a lot of interesting information that right now we are going through a battle where one side is trying to take us into a dystopian timeline like 1984 and the other side is trying to get us back to the original spiritual timeline.

Very interesting

where can we sign up for this battle for the light?

No signing up necessary. It's really about following the golden rule, which is the tenet in every major religion, or common sense to those of us who don't subscribe to a religion.. Lead from the heart. Be kind. Be a caretaker of impeccable integrity for all life on Earth. Look for the miracles all around us every single moment. Make everything sacred.

Joe Biden is a "Miracle" for the Off-Shore Corporation that is the State of Delaware, one of the last to free the Slaves. For the longest time, I didn't even know that Delaware was a Slave-owning State. I'm gonna say it right now, "Plantation Joe."

I used to call him the Senator from Visa and Mastercard.

He's all of that, and then some--except now he's playing "Grandpa" from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Out to Lunch, or "Out to Brunch?" We'll know soon enough, as the Election Theater unspools its Reel of Unrealities...

Mis'remembering has the same function as forgetting and is a job requirement for all government officials who are hired to lie with a straight face 24/7 to maintain their position in government...

Interesting. There are however,some 250 world wide cases of very young children, like in the 2-6 year old range, who have distinct accurate memories of past lives, verified by research. One of these is recounted in the book "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" by his mother, Cathy Byrd. It recounts her experiences, including her own under deep hypnosis. Her son, Christian, was obsessed with baseball, and had these accurate memories of being Lou Gehrig! Fascinating story in paperback, and I highly recommend it

Yes, this is very interesting to me, as well.

Wondering if you knew about it or have read that short book?

Expand full comment

I haven't, but I do know a fair bit about past life memories.

All my children told me stories about their past lives when they were like 2-3, then they forget.

Things like, "remember when I was the mom and you were the kid?" Or, "remember that time we came to our new home after we rode in a boat across the ocean?"

Fascinating! A Native American woman I know was told by her two children that they had chosen her to be their mother and apparently had already been sister and brother. You will find many surprises in the story I cited above. Hope you wrote down what YOUR children said as well. After 6 years, memories fade, sometimes before.

Yes, there are apparently youngsters who claim to have memories of having fought in the US Civil War which have been objectively verified.

He invented the airplane too Cindy. I used to laugh at this guy on Saturday morning cartoons.

“Trump told us all to drink bleach to cure COVID”, “he promised to cause a bloodbath if elected”, “He called military vets losers”, “fine people on both sides”. All delivered in his angry, finger-jabbing, shouting, deranged demeanor he adopts to show that he still has a pulse.
