Dolores Cannon: The Back Drop People

[Mike]

I was almost totally unfamiliar with Dolores Cannon up until a few days ago, when I ran into her while mindlessly watching youtube vids. All I knew was that she looks like every grandma I'd ever seen and wears fuzzy faded sweaters and likely smells of fabric softener and a hint of cheap perfume. She had also written books about waves of "volunteers" who had allegedly arrived from all over the universe to assist us in our little social experiment here. But, as it often does, one youtube video ended and tripped into another..and right as I was about to give it all up and go back to watching porn, I found myself involved with this strange but intriguing video about an alleged phenomena called "back drop people".

That thing you just did with your neck..tilting it to one side while furrowing your brow in utter confusion - that's what I did too. In all my years on the forum and reading old tattered paperback books from the occult section in my local used book stores,I'd never once come across this subject. Back drop people...wtf?

So this is what they are, and what they aren't:
They are not human. That seems like a good place to start. Cannon describes them as energy...energy that comes from all over the universe to masquerade briefly as bit-part characters in the play that is your life.

So you're at a concert, or a sporting event, or any place where there's a large crowd of people..an airport maybe. According to the fuzzy sweater wearing lady, a significant percentage of the people you see there are not quite real. They're just very convincing props.

Yeah, I know it's weird. According to Cannon and her channeled sources, there just aren't enough people in the world to fill in all the blanks as we pretend to be living our lives in what we're tricked into thinking is an unscripted world.

A large part of me thinks this is utterly absurd..it's the small part of me that is intrigued with such a weird, novel concept that is the inspiration behind this potentially regrettable thread. But be warned.. that same small part once talked me into a thread about the hollow earth. I'll take the risk though. We all have roles here; mine is not an intellectual one...that should be obvious by now.

Here's the Cannon video:

Your nobody's fool Mike.
Common sense more important than the highest IQ
Dolores no doubt believed what she wrote and said.
A "May be so" in my book.

About all of us are backdrops. We are not connected to our source, we are dead alive. So we are backdrops with no impact whatsoever in this life.

[onawah]

The first thing that leaped to my mind regarding this is something I've read about from various sources.
The idea that when a civilization is going through a huge transition such as Earth is now, there may be a corresponding, temporary rise in the planetary population because many souls from other worlds want to be present to take part in that as a learning experience.
They will not remain after the transition is finished, but will usually return to the world from whence they came, or to another world that will offer them good learning experiences for wherever they are in their evolution.
The idea being that at some point, they are going to be very involved in another planet going through a similar, ciritical transition, and they want to be prepared for it.
So what occurs to me is that if someone is just here basically to observe for a lifetime or two, they may not seem to others who have made this world their more permanent home to be fully present.
And so they might not seem very "real".
If that makes sense...

Her book "Keepers Of The Garden" was one of the first hard copies in my personal library. Though it's some years ago I read it, I remember being quite fascinated with the book, might give it a second read.

First time I've read about the back drop people concept. Will check out the video later.

I wonder if our very own Collective has caught up with Dolores with regards to The Back Drop People when this meme was created.

Origin
On July 7th, 2016, an anonymous 4chan user submitted a thread titled "Are You an NPC?" to the /v/ (video games) board,[5] which referred to people who "autonomously follow group thinks and social trends" as "NPCs" (shown below).

Are You an NPC? Anonymous
I have a theory that there are only a fixed quantity of souls on planet Earth that cycles continuously through reincarnation. However, since the human growth rate is so severe, the soulless extra walking flesh piles around us as NPC's, or ultimate normalfags, who autonomously follow group thinks and social trends in order to appear convincingly human. 1. Wake Up- frog jpg db SauceNAO 194KİB, 918x712 View Same Google iq I call these people NPC's because when you talk to them they just say the same **** every time. "TRUMP IS HITLER", "JUST BE YOURSELF", "SPORTSBALL", "THE NEW ADELE SONG XD OMG". If you get in a discussion with them it's always the same buzzwords and hackneyed arguments. They're the kind of people who make a show of discomfort when you break the status quo like by breaking the normie barrier to invoke a real discussion. it's like in a vidya when you accidentally talk to somebody twice and they give you the exact lines word for word once more.

On September 5th, 2018, several threads were submitted to 4chan[7][8][9][10] discussing people who did not have an "inner-voice." In the comments sections, many described those who do not have an internal monologue as "NPCs." On September 7th, a grey-colored variation of Wojak began appearing in threads about NPCs (shown below).[12]

[greybeard]

The late Dr David Hawkins said that below a certain level of consciousness people are not aware they exist.
I cant remember the exact context of the comment.
I dont understand the concept but I have respect for what he said.
This might cover Back Drop people.

The non playable character meme did make me laugh, I'll have to admit.
The theory of "fixed quantity of souls on planet Earth that cycles continuously through reincarnation", kind of sounds like my understanding of scientology, with the addition that many souls share one body.
Fascinating subject though.

[lake]

This is quite old knowledge, which has been 'rewritten' by many!

One of the newer ones is:

http://montalk.net/about/212/glossary#organic_portal

Organic Portal

Term that originates from the Cassiopaean Transcripts. I have supplanted this term with “Spiritless Human” which is more descriptive. Organic Portals and Spiritless Humans share the same definition. The term denotes a person who has mind, body, and soul but lacks spirit. They are lacking the heart, crown, and third eye chakras since these are only uplinks to a spirit, which in their case is nonexistent. Therefore they are permanently incapable of experiencing genuine empathy or having sincere interest in anything outside material pursuits. They comprise the majority of psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, and robotic background characters that pad the population.

But it really dates back to the Book of the Dead and the Second Death.

if Apophis conquers the Soul, then it cannot escape a second death

In short....As Earth attempts to move forward into her 5th life, those failed souls from her first 4 lives try to 'hold her back'. And while NPC is rather apt they are highly disruptive and destructive, wishing only to deconstruct any individuality.


Steiner in 1924 spoke of them:

taken as a whole it is correct to say that in our time certain supernumerary people are appearing who have no ‘I’ and are therefore not human beings in the full sense of the word. This is a terrible truth.

They go about but are not incarnated ‘I’s; they take their place in physical heredity, receive an ether body and an astral body and in a sense become equipped inwardly with an ahrimanic consciousness. They appear to be human if you do not look too closely yet they are not human beings in the full sense of the word. This is a terrible truth and it is a fact.

Blavatsky in 1897 spoke of ‘soulless men’ and ‘death of soul’ in Isis
Unveiled, Vol. II and in The Secret Doctrine, Vol.III.

There are many who have pointed toward them....

Even I stated it, on this forum, 3 years ago:

I stated that most are 'background', I didn't say you are!
In fact the greater percentage of those on Avalon are of no thing, or should I say the rainbow of shadow? Does that sound better​ More 'new age'?

I am beginning to think that there is 'nothing' new and all authors do is find an old book and rewrite it!

As you probably know Bill the Scots have a not proven verdict.
WE think they are guilty but cant prove it, is the inference.
I suppose that influences my "may be so"

Not proven to be "Highly unlikely" but most certainly you are correct.
If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck,etc then it probably is a duck.
So if it acts like a human it probably is.

Maybe I like sitting on the fence --on some things--smiling

Mike , we are all inquisitive , whether gambling that we can cross the road without being knocked down to somehow getting a peep around the corner and into the future .And that is exactly what a Snake Oil Seller depends on, when they grab you with their story. Something for nothing . Something special for the initiated and those that want to progress .
Dolores uses 'Channeling " and "Nostradamus" to get you excited .
John Hogue is generally accepted as a world authority on the life and writings of Nostradamus . See what he has to say about Dolores and her purported knowledge . He is scathing and the phrase New Age Sewage is his mildest comment . Now I am no great fan of John Hogue once he moves from academic scholarship to making his own predictions . And whilst I dismiss both out of hand as seers , I respect John for his academic work re. Nostradamus the real man and his circumstances . But you can meet a version of Dolores in any spiritual church or meeting point the length and breadth of anywhere you live . I have met many of them -- most are lovely , sincere , well intentioned people . But ----- .imho .

Well that is the point under discussion Chris, !

If you take my last post, where I quote Steiner stating the "ahrimanic consciousness" then we can see that it may act as a 'spirited' human but that doesn't mean it is!

What is "ahrimanic"

Angra Mainyu is the Avestan-language name of Zoroastrianism's hypostasis of the "destructive spirit". The Middle Persian equivalent is Ahriman.
Angra Mainyu is omnimalevolent.
Angra Mainyu can be thought of as the original concept of Satan or other similar entities from multiple religions.

And if you listen to someone such as Dr. Bill Deagle (who states that this world is run in the name of Satan) who has said " avatar-ing the flesh of human beings" in order to control.......then maybe quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, looks like a duck, but darn well is NOT a duck.....is closer to the truth?

Edit to add: Sorry just realised that I am off topic!

I am attempting to show that "evil" will create "flesh" to be used within this drama!

Whereas, of course, we only would create the buildings and landscape within which to "play" our pre-defined narratives!

We wouldn't ever create "back ground" people.......Would WE?

[Joe Akulis]

This sounds a lot like a theory that we batted around on a different thread a little while back. About the possibility that we are each living in our own "instance" of earth. That there are levels of existence for the other people here.

Those in our immediate vicinity that we interact with each day, they are roles filled by volunteer souls who agree to make the investment in time and energy to help with your incarnation. And anyone else that we only catch glimpses of at airports and all the other places in live where people just come in and out of our lives, are all part of an outer layer of volunteers that jump in for a few minutes and then back out.

Presumably we are doing the same kind of volunteering for tons of other folks who have their own incarnations going in separate timeline instances of their own earths.

I thought for sure it was a thread that Bill started, but I flipped through his list and it wasn't there... Anyone else remember that one?

[lake]

Ok....in the OP video Cannon states (paraphrasing):

This building didn't exist until you came here and once you are gone then it will no longer exist

and

these 'people' are only there when you see them, else they do not exist

Now I did start a thread three and a half years ago:

Emotions Becoming Embodied

in which I state that I have been interacting with 'humans' who are my own emotions.

That experience was strange! (no really ya dont say )

I had started a new contract as a consultant and was having rather a few emotional issues....Which presented as individuals in the work place!

It got so weird that eventually I called them all together for a meeting and literally questioned them about it (thought the men with the strapped white backwards jacket might be called) and they were just "Well yes, so what?"

And that was when I knew that it wasn't just the landscape which could be created.

[Alanantic]

Reminds me of an LSD trip I had. I was at a clothing optional resort and just watching people. The strange thing was, I saw living people and dead people, but they were all physical. Maybe I was seeing conscious and unconscious people. Or...now, maybe they were "backdrops". I also watched a volleyball game and I saw the reason behind wherever the ball went. There was another game being played between people other than volleyball...

[enigma3]

Sounds a bit like Archons from David Icke.

[lunaflare]

Hey Mike!

Good to get a break from porn by tuning into Dolores...

I've met Dolores and listened to her lectures. She is not the cuddly soft-spoken scone baking grandmother you may be conjuring... She is articulate, willful, wise and aligned with her mission --arising from her experiences with clients when they were undergoing hypnosis. As a professional woman, born to a certain era, she also took a mighty risk with the type of material she wrote/talked about.

To prove/disprove this theory seems pretty simple.
Next time one is in the airport/stadium or the like...just go up to these so-called-spiritless humans and engage.
Will you see a sparkle in their eyes? Will they have a story? Can you help them with their baggage or buy them a coffee? Chances are they will be uniquely treading their own journey. Just like you.

I was almost totally unfamiliar with Dolores Cannon...... Back drop people...wtf?

So this is what they are, and what they aren't:
They are not human....

One big problem in subscribing to the notion of background people, or really, of the 'game'/holograph concept of life, is losing compassionate connection with what just might really be 8 million souls struggling on the same 3D planet. It isn't a giant leap to, "Hey, I don't care about Israelis slaughtering the Palestinians - none of it is real. Since they are not in my immediate world of assumed real humans, I'll just say they don't really exist and not have to spend any more time fretting about it. It's all a game. If it's out of my field of vision, it isn't real. "The Truman Show" is accurate. Pass the popcorn."

So, Dolores scares me with this concept. She is leading people towards an attitude of dismissing most of humanity, being apathetic to the point of "depraved indifference" towards billions of humans - other souls on individual incarnate journeys. It is very selfish and self-flattering to believe that billions of humans don't really exist other than as temporary backdrops.

I measure spiritual growth - on Earth - as the (fuzzy) boundary of an expanding circle of compassion. I say "on Earth" because if your soul can do its work alone in a cave away from other ensoulded beings, you'd have no need of being on Earth. The wider (humanity) and more all encompassing (all life forms) your compassion becomes, in my view, the more obviously "enlightened" and "spiritually evolved" you are.

Dolores confuses me with a number of things she says, that seem kinda like campfire story embellishment details that popped into her head, and she went with them, and then she had to stick with them. I don't know. my gut says she may be a total fraud who has gleaned some true spiritual reincarnation details, and then added her schtick. Evidently, none of the 7000 soul regression-memory subjects Michael Newton spoke with ran into Dolores' version of the truth.


{edited, to add:} Lunaflare's post was not there, or I hadn't seen it, when I composed my post. The juxtaposition of her post saying great things about Dolores, having met her, and the next post being me blurting out 'possible fraud' was accidental. My post was not a reply to Lunaflare. Quite frankly, since Lunaflare has studied Dolores' material, and met her, and feels as she does, that makes my intuition uneducated, if not unfounded, and Lunaflare's impression is more likely the correct one.

[Flash]

WoW, i had never seen it that way. Hum... goes with my experiences too, at least in part
Adding: I have met people wiyhout a heart chakra. Very materialistic, not at ease at all with emotions, very bright. But not truly human even if everything seem to be in appearances (having families and all)

The energie tells you at first, there is something repulsive to a sensitive human.
Now guess where I saw them....
To me they were backdrops because mot truly in my world, nor from it on an esoteric level.
