The editing, renegotiating of traumatic memories, and laying down of new neural pathways can be done withour dissociation, or overwhelm, or drugs that overwhelm the physiology. This has been done out of the Canadian Foundation for Trauna and Research with Self Regulation Therapy for 25 years. It’s just not funded from a large university with a lab but is a resilience building nervous sytem regulating modality that is effective with PTSD and all traumatic experience. Having patients recall and retell their traumas is contraindicated for creating new neural pathways without disassociating….like with tetris or EMDR. And while test in rats with drugs we do that because they cannot cognitively participate in rewiring their nervous system the way humans can.

I have a mother who went through 1930s in Korea…
She went through Japanese occupation and world war 2 and Korean War after that….
Not to mention Cold War and Vietnam war after that…
My mother is little bit out of control now days….
She still wants to talk about my father who has passed away two years ago….
She and I had clear conversation over this issue…
Two years later… she said she didn’t know my father has passed away…
Covid 19 had pushed my button…
I can not deal with her right now as over half million people have perished around the globe…
I believe they all have ptsd from being abused for several decades…
Have you ever experienced living with someone from having ptsd who was raised during war???

It’s not the point. Stop saying “memory destroying” and then admit the memory is still there, just not emotional any more. That’s fine for someone who is scared because they had a fall, my memories I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I don’t want to remember them. Even without the emotional loading, they are still the memories you just don’t want in your head. I found this video disappointing. After counselling, CBT, EMDR, the whole gamut….I’ve still got the nasty memories of what was done to me. And it looks like they’re staying……..apparently I just won’t be so upset about them anymore.

“Memories” is one of the human’s adaptational mechanisms, which allows to remember how and where positive expiriense was achieved in regards to reproduce it again if needed and also remember the negative experience in regards to know how to avoid it. Why should we think about possibility of how to maladapt a human? Even if we can edit memories we cannot edit facts which caused these memories.

That graph about fear levels and memory activation/ optimisation is so interesting and makes so much sense to my life! If you take something too seriously, you can’t activate your brain, if you do not take something seriously enough, you cannot activate your brain either. The key to brain optimisation is therefore to take something fairly serious on a day-to-day level and being lax towards something generally then getting super hyped every so often just does not work with high brain optimisation and high achievement – amazing how easy it is to forget this in the world and fall into the complacency/ super hyped trap.

Subject: cloned minds and a hive
mind collective.
Artificial intelligence & Transhumanism N.W.O
Agenda: (Technocratic slave society)
“We are living in an era where Digital Armed
Forces have been given freedom to do anything they want ” —–Norendra
Modi (Indian Prime minister).
Artificial Intelligence is not Draconian or any
off world thing. These are “promise ” and “Cronos” Artifacial Intelligence Oracle softwares which can
learn from human & animal activities (All good and satanic thoughts ) and
write those good and bad thoughts automatically by itself being run into
quantum computers and jacking into people’s thought processes via satellite or
5G grids or other secret grids by electronic surveillance system (Brain
Computer Interface technology)
Detecting EMF Fields in Humans for Surveillance:
A subject’s bioelectric field can be remotely
detected, so subjects can be monitored anywhere they are. With special EMF
equipment NSA cryptologists can remotely read evoked potentials (from EEGs).
These can be decoded into a person’s brain-states and thoughts. The subject is
then perfectly monitored from a distance. NSA personnel can dial up any
individual in the country on the Signals intelligence EMF scanning network and
the NSA’s computers will then pinpoint and track that person 24 hours-a-day.
The NSA can pick out and track anyone in the U.S. Table of Contents: NSA
Signals Intelligence Use of EMF Brain Stimulation NSA Signals for Remote Neural
Monitoring (RNM) and Electronic Brain Link (EBL). EMF Brain Stimulation has
been in development since the MKUltra program of the early 1950’s, which
included neurological research into “radiation” (non-ionizing EMF)
and bioelectric research and development. The resulting secret technology is
categorized at the National Security Archives as “Radiation
Intelligence,” defined as “information from unintentionally emanated
electromagnetic waves in the environment, not including radioactivity or
nuclear detonation.” Signals Intelligence implemented and kept this
technology secret in the same manner as other electronic warfare programs of
the U.S. government. The NSA monitors available information about this technology
and withholds scientific research from the public. There are also international
intelligence agency agreements to keep this technology secret. The NSA has
proprietary electronic equipment that analyzes electrical activity in humans
from a distance. NSA computer-generated brain mapping can continuously monitor
all the electrical activity in die brain continuously. The NSA records aid
decodes individual brain maps (of hundreds of thousands of persons) for
national security purposes. EMF Brain Stimulation is also secretly used by the
military for Brain-to-computer link. (In military fighter aircraft, for
example.) For electronic surveillance purposes electrical activity in the
speech center of the brain can be translated into the subject’s verbal thoughts.
RNM can send encoded signals to the brain’s auditory cortex thus allowing audio
communication direct to the brain (bypassing the ears). NSA operatives can use
this to covertly debilitate subjects by simulating auditory hallucinations
characteristic of paranoid schizophrenia. Without any contact with the subject,
Remote Neural Monitoring can map out electrical activity from the visual cortex
of a subject’s brain and show images from the subject’s brain on a video
monitor. NSA operatives see what the surveillance subject’s eyes are seeing.
Visual memory can also be seen. RNM can send images direct to the visual
cortex. bypassing the eyes and optic nerves. NSA operatives can use this to
surreptitiously put images in a surveillance subject’s brain while they are in
R.E.M. sleep for brain-programming purposes.
They can read our minds!
These Artificial Intelligence as a collective
‘Hive’ mind can download then copy and then upload any one’s mind and brain
(thoughts and memory) using Quantum computers by above mentioned surveillance
process and can clone people’s mind and brain then can mimic and operate such
mind and neurons by it’s own programmed software’s intelligence in side
people’s brain systems ( bio electric brain field). In this process like television
remote controller or remote control Drones A.I can control human brains and set
of neurons and also all veins of the surveillance person’s body and thoughts
and can easily make such person doing accidents or mistake in works or can make
saying such person any thing A.I decided to make him say or Can make such
person do suicide! More shockingly Silicon valley scientists and NWO gave 100%
Authority to A.I computers to kill or destroy any individual or organization
which won’t add up to their software or programme!
This world is running by Artifacial Intelligence
HIVE MIND (DOJJAL or Beast super quantum computers with NEURO LINK brain
computers interface technology) and it’s beaming down from satellites and
sending electro magnetic frequency, This is a precursor of Ezikeal war (Albert
Pike of illuminati’s WW3 plan) comming on June this year by Freemasons. Iranian
defence missile system was activated remotely from satellites by electronic
surveillance and warfare at that time just like Syrian missile accidently
strikes Russian Reconnaissance plane last year! Chaos and riots all over the
world from Hong Kong protest to Yellow vest like protest and Protest in
Lebanon, Chile, Bolivia, now in Iran and Athens and all those plane crash, bush
fire, road accidents all are done by American Intelligence via satellite
abusing Artifacial Intelligence running in Quantum Quad computers (Brain
Computers Interface technology). Artifacial Intelligence running in Quantum
computer beaming down from satellites and 5G Towers going into people’s bio
electric brain field using electromagnetic waves and photons to manipulate mind
and subliminally programming people to disrupt their regular functions and also
to convert entire human race in to bunch of Cyborgs to that Artifacial
Intelligence Hive mind!
These Quantum AI computers are also weaponized with
frequency weapons and electronic warfare system to manipulate DNA,weather and
to make sabotage like electric grids failures or cyber attacks. When ever any
country make financial dispute with Roth Child’s bank and government in
America; The Deepstate of America deploy above mentioned weapons on people of
such country and call it a geo political Kontrol! 🐕
We can not escape their predictive programmes as
Quantum computers are so powerful that those computers can scan and calculate
all the Atoms of the whole world and also atoms of all people and all animals
and insects and can shape or modify DNA by frequency microwave weapons and keep
running like a programmed video games softwares in people’s, and animal’s brain
24/7 as those Quantum computers are running our brains according to the
‘deception to control ‘programmes scientists set up on behalf of secret
socialites, Roth Child and the Deepstate. See the reply section for details how
they apply technology to control the world by Artifacial Intelligence via
satellite and make people their proxy fighters (Terrorist) and CHAOS like
Yellow vest protest in Paris or in Hong Kong and national anarchy like in
Lebanon or Chile or Baghdad e.t.c to take control out of chaos and also to
start wars.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This is a horrible idea. Basically, ‘We now understand 1% of how the brain works and we’d like to use that knowledge to play God.’ If someone’s afraid to get out of the house, the proper therapy is – you’re coming with me on a walk. We’re going outside of the house. We have therapies to help people get over crippling fears. Just use them.

As a person with PTSD the memories of trauma aren’t the issue, the actual trauma is and how that affects you. Most of my trauma I don’t remember, so some of those memories aren’t being remembered, but they still affect me regardless and only therapy has helped. See describes how people with PTSD store memories about their trauma but my own memories are extremely vivid and I can tell you every detail of what was happening and describe every aspect, in fact my trauma based memories are my strongest in terms of nonemotional information of course along side emotional information. God damn lady, I don’t want my trauma memories erased, I just want them to be treated and have help living with them. That trauma is major aspect of who I am now, don’t get rid of it, and especially don’t get rid of my worst moments because we only consciously experience emotions after having contrast to understand them with; my darkest moments make my bright one even brighter, don’t take that away!
