New mind-altering drug capable of literally modifying your memories

[ktlight]

FYI: I SAY, BEWARE!


Changing bad memories into good ones could be just a pill away, according to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. Researchers from the University of Montreal in Canada say that metyrapone, a drug that blocks the "stress hormone" cortisol, also appears to alter patients' memories and minimizing their recollection of negative events -- but is this actually a good thing?

For their study, Marie-France Marin and her team evaluated the effects of metyrapone on a group of young men shown a slide show that documented the serious injury of a young girl. In it, the girl is building a birdhouse with her grandparents until a serious accident lands her in the emergency room. In the end, the girl is okay, but the details of her injury involve lots of blood and other disturbing imagery.

Three days after viewing the images of this story, the team gave either a single 750 milligram (mg) dose of metyrapone, a double dose, or a placebo pill to the men in the group. None of the men knew which pill they received. The team then asked the men to retell the story of the girl as they recalled it, both right after receiving the pill, and again four days after taking the pills.

The team found that the men who took the double dose of meyrapone remembered far less of the negative imagery than did the men taking the single or placebo dose. Men in the placebo group scored between 40 and 50 percent in their negative imagery memory test, while men who took the double dose of metyrapone scored around 30 percent.

In explaining these results to Reuters Health, Marin and her team expressed their belief that because metyrapone artificially lowers cortisol levels, it interferes with the way the brain stores memories. These alterations appear to remove the emotional aspects from negative memories that give them a basis in reality, thus changing actual reality into a type of artificial fantasy world.

I remember hearing about this quite some time ago now. I believe they were saying they'd use it to help rape victims. I personally believe its better to live with the memories of your experiences, good and bad, to learn from them and use it to grow, but I still welcome that if it will help people that just can't cope with something that happened to them.

The downside of course, is that it will be abused, like everything else in life.

I agree with this, even if a person thinks they cannot cope.

It sounds like the nightmare sci-fi world of films like THX 1138 is already upon us, I wonder if they'll put it in the water like flouride ?
All my aunts are on prozac my dad casually dropped the other day, there's 7 of them.

There was a time when I thought that people who were in prison because they'd done something horrific due to having a really horrible childhood would benefit by having their minds altered by brainwashing them into believing they had a happy childhood.

It seemed kinder - and would turn a destructive person into a constructive person.

Now I know about soul plans it doesn't seem like such a good idea.

What I think with these elitists is that they are aware that there is no death - only they are made aware of it while still under ego influence - and so what they do, thinking it's good - is really ego interpretation of what is good - and therefore not so good.

I prefer temporary mind alteration.

What am I saying? I'm grown up now. Actually, when my grand daughter was born almost 2 months ago, I said that's great as long as I don't have to grow up. I'm still young at heart.

And centers providing this drug will be available on every street corner eventually like weight loss clinics. People will be asking for it in the not so distant future.. The PTB knowing people are on a peace crusade will ring in an area of peace on their own . Albeit its a false peace. And those who refuse it...will eventually be contained as sociopaths and pyschopaths.

The new population control.

Good point, I agree! thanks ND :)

Wow, good point, I am not develish enough, I had not tought of putting it in water.

Lots of psychoactive drugs could be beneficial if used in very short periods to help get ove a bump in life and to make sure the brain does not rewire based on bad experience, therefore making the rest of life a bad experience (as it happens with long depressions or with beaten up children/women/men). However, when used in the long run, it destroys brain and body. I have seen many people on prozac like medication for 8-10 years, they cannot get rid of it, it is as bad as a lot of street drugs. My not pot instead?

[ceetee9]

Wow! This is great news (for the PTB). Just think, once they perfect this technology and add it to our food supply and drinking water, we won't remember the beatings, torture, and killings or our women and children being raped. Won't life be grand then?

The floggings will continue until the morale improves.

Now that I'm on the other side of hell, would I want to forget? No, I got over it on my own with a lot of effort. I wouldn't want that victory taken from me by a pill. Besides what else would we forget?

Made me think of this

If i did not remember the bad things that have happend to me in my past - i would not be the person i am today.

Learning from those experiences and deciding how you want to be because of those experiences (IE you dont want to be like X person because they did Y so you will do everything in you're power not to act/do like they did)

Denying yourself memories - wether good or bad - is denying Living life itself.

I changed my memories without drugs .. it's called "enlightenment" ;) And is actually an important process, but if you use drugs to do it, you don't gain the benefit of an expanded consciousness. My 2 cents.

[Darla Ken Pearce]

No matter how distressing our memories may be ~ they represent a very long personal journey through many life experiences. Most people make the mistake of believing things would be better not remembering all the negatives. I believe this may be the case with one caveat and that is ~ in 3D we do not have the proper tools to make accurate judgments just yet. It comes with higher consciousness. Each day now, our consciousness is rising up to the task.

The most important thing is how we interpret those experiences and what value they translate into being. When measured against today's 3D standards they might seem to fall short but those judgments are not valid as we shall soon see when our life's reviews begin in earnest and when our canvas includes the full range of dimensions that apply.

Only one of our closest mentors and guides will be present when these reviews occur. They will take place in the Center of Inner Earth within a crystal temple and this step once completed ~ will clear us for ascension. Total trust and understanding is required and we will gain enough knowledge through the process to see all that was really valuable about these many experiences and judge for ourselves but with a kinder more broad and accepting brush of clarity and new vision as never realized before that date.

In this manner, we become clarified and sanctified and receive many new gifts to take with us wherever we next choose in the whole Galactic and Universal spectrum that will be opened for us.

Forgotten is how much a part of us ~ all these experiences are to who we have become and how we are becoming all that we can possible be as a direct result.

This happens ~ in order that we may fully appreciate our own Mastership; it's important to know and fully understand why we picked these karmic expressions and for which values we have chosen to experience them. Then comes full understanding.

Like handicapping a champion horse, we often placed barriers and had agreements with others who played roles in our own development. All of us suffered greatly and died under many traumatic events including the fall of Atlantis ~ that have long served to torment us without really understanding the true context of why they were necessary and what they added to our gifts and talents.

We must forgive all things and learn to do it without hesitation if we want to be forgiven in exchange. And we must especially forgive ourselves unconditionally in order to see those old battles and wounds in a new light of warmth and appreciation for all that we really are and have become as a result.

One that shines brightly on the full victory that our journey was so filled with ~ no matter how things may have appeared or felt otherwise at the time. Much of value, the gems for each day lived of awe and wonder, frustration, and labor each represent a priceless treasure.

Each challenge that was overcome. Not only each victory but each defeat has value in a new way we were unable to fully appreciate but will be allowed to see. These add all the beautiful contrasts and colorful rays of light in every possible color as reflected, and refracted in the whole spectrum of light. What a rich world, indeed, that we have created to share.

The value of all experiences will be fully realized.

This is the "stuff" of absolute beauty and gorgeousness that makes all experiences worthwhile, and of value, to be cherished and adored and shared throughout all galaxies, universes, and with all other beings who have yet to complete 3D or those who don't need to go there. But who can, perhaps, live it through our remembrances so that unlimited generations can be spared from enduring all the suffering, pain, agony, torture and mortal deaths that we have lived on their behalf. And go so far beyond anything we ever imagined might be possible from these lives and these experiences we lived upon the Earth prior to these great days of Ascension into much higher realms in the spiritual hierarchy. And so it is... xoxoxox
