50 million people in the west are pathologically injured

[Bill Ryan]

Or maybe 100 million, or possibly far far more than that.

I wrote 'pathologically injured' in the title. That could have been much longer, in a more complete expression of what I meant to summarize. They're mentally and/or emotionally compromised and irrational by most measures. (Certainly spiritually so.) Quite a few, by some definitions, may even be 'insane' — or to coin a better term, 'un-sane'.

And many are in positions of power or authority, in banking, commerce, education, the military, and (of course) in government. (Pathologically damaged people are often competitive and ambitions and therefore rise in hierarchical ranks quite quickly.)

Some refer to the phenomenon as a 'mind virus', which may be fairly accurate in terms of its behavior: it's infectious, debilitating, hostile to others' well-being in many aspects, and it seems to protect itself fiercely against healing or cure.

I also mentioned 'the west', but while this is where it seems to me to be most visible, the phenomenon may be more endemic than that.

I've been thinking about this for a long time. I suspect everyone reading this will know what I'm seeking to describe. I'd like to discuss its causes and effects, and see if between us we can make a few predictions on what the future may hold for humanity.

[Ernie Nemeth]

The problem for humanity is the many assumptions that we make in order to get through the day. So many aspects of our thinking are open-ended. Our understandings blur around the edges, and we are prone to circular thinking. So we have definitions that define other definitions and invent words that are synonymous even though their new meanings contradict the old. Through it all we come no closer to an understanding of reality.

Defining the unknown by using another unknown renders both meaningless.

Our problem is the inability to reconcile the finite with the infinite. And while we consider we live a life as a finite being, even our physical bodies rely on the infinite in so many different ways.


And here, in this thread, we will make the same error and make assumptions not based in reality. We will assume the pertinent parts, and we will make up the rest.


Insanity is the only possible outcome for those that cling to the temporal and wholly believe in their finite existence on this superficial level of reality.
Delusion is the outcome for those self-deluded.

This is not life, for the living never die.

'Mind virus' is a nice way of saying the above. We misuse the mind, then want to know where this interference is coming from. We have self-identified incorrectly, so our premise is in error - therefore, our assumptions are wrong.
But assume away, that's the fun of this make-believe world of ghosts and half-truths.

Go ahead, make it up, give us a doozy!

Blame someone else, something else for the problem - it certainly couldn't be your own fault - your current state is perfectly adjusted and capable of sanity.

Of all things, that much is patently obvious. Right?
Of course it is...

Back in 2008 during the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage crisis one of the CEO's commented on the problem saying, "I would know about it." I don't think he was playing dumb or being evasive. Years ago, there was a lot of talk about Bill Gates wanting to depopulate. As a countermeasure he and his then wife Melinda gave and interview and she said this about the allegations, "I would know about it." Later he did another interview in Anderson Cooper as if a crisis management team suggested it. That's similar to the elite's minions saying, "Build back better." There does seem to be a hive mind at work. Tony Rodrigues claims that when he was off world the controllers wanted people who were mentally unstable or psychopaths because they wouldn't give in on any aspects of trade negotiations.

There are many sources of this pathology that I have discovered over the years. In the West, we have almost no knowledge of, or access to, the unseen forces all around us, from disturbed elementals, which come in the form of air, earth, water, and fire, to full-on demonic creatures who can possess a human for life. Usually the elementals have been displaced from their natural habitats by human activity, and they take their vengeance out on humans as a result. They attach to a person's aura, and cause brain fog (air); being stuck (earth); emotionality (water), and anger (fire). Unless a person is aware of this attack, the situation can go on for years unchecked.

[grapevine]

The following short video doesn't explain why many of these people are in positions of power, but it does tell us why we behave in certain ways and find it difficult to change, even though we think we're behaving in a rational manner.

But can any of us recognise ourselves in these scenarios?

The common factor between the people in positions of power is "birds of a feather flock togoether", an old saying but an apt one. There's no longer room for decent people in these positions which has been apparent for a long time, and not just because of social media either. When these people first thought only in terms of profit there was no hope, and unfortunately it seems to have caught on, like the virus in Bill's post.

"This is the most in depth breakdown of why 90% of people are in therapy in 12 minutes. This was excellent".

[shaberon]

This may have been understated.


What's called "the West" is a contagious pathological mental disorder.

Having "power" has nothing to do with it; the symptom affects everyone, minus a small minority who have managed to shield themselves from it.

It's from the "floor up" as much as the "top down".

Ergo, the ones in power have a mix of ready volunteers, and essentially disabled non-resistors.

It's not a form of "excusable differences of opinion", but a complete break from anything acceptable whatsoever. In terms of sheer political aggression, that may be the belief of a minority, perhaps 50 million or so, but considering all aspects of the deficiency, I would estimate it as a significant majority, 70-80%, wherever I have been.

[Patient]

There are many good posts here, but I am not sure if we are following Bill's lead post as to how he meant it. (So maybe Bill can come back and comment. Maybe he meant it to be an open thought?)

I guess I took it along the lines from the changes we saw after the "jab", as I see that this has continued to run it's course. Over the past couple of years I have dealt with a lot of the same people and I have seen many of them having a mental decline of sorts. Memory issues, major changes in emotional states on the fly. Stuff like that.

I am having a somewhat "oh well" kind of reaction to it all. Because really - I don't know what to do other than to "roll with the punches" so to speak. If I was younger, I might feel differently, however I am worried for my own kids as they will have to deal with this much longer than I will.

On a personal note, I have had quite a few weird and/or odd things occur. This is another topic of course - one that I would elaborate on if I can find the right thread. I am not sure I have enough to start one. One thing that stands out is that I have been hearing voices in my head (not like "one that hears voices") but things that make sense. For example, hearing my name being called (and knowing that it is only in my head) to get my attention when a person came to our house. We don't have a doorbell and I had the music up loud and I would not have heard the knock on the door. However, he hadn't yet knocked. I thought that was kinda cool when it happened.

I feel that this is a global phenomenon throughout history. It's the average human state. It's part of the challenges we have to face to evolve spiritually, in terms of consciousness.

The huge difference nowadays is that it's becoming extremely apparent due to the internet and social media. In a way, this is a step forward. It was hidden and normalized for centuries. Now it's finally revelaed.

I think that the unseen forces that interact with Humans have increased. I don't think that it is just because we are able to see it and share on the internet - I think whatever "veil" or force that has kept them at bay is weakening. Or perhaps more people are just susceptible to them and that allows them to gain access to more people.

I agree that we do seem to be at a state of spiritual evolution and it is either getting stronger or speeding up. (Or as you point out with social media it may just appear to be speeding up.)

I understand Bill’s post to mean, not that there are psychopaths and sociopaths who injure others, but rather there are people who have been injured in pathological way. For instance, when a person dies or even is injured, the cause of death or injury is determined in a forensic sense by a pathologist. To me that is a pathological injury.

I had some trouble forming what I felt was a concise thread title. (Maybe I should try for a better one!)

I was referring to mental and emotional 'injury', meaning experiences, social/family environment, and/or education that leads to instability, irrationality or worse. I had in mind this Collins dictionary definition:

~~~

You describe a person or their behavior as pathological when they behave in an extreme and unacceptable way, and have very powerful feelings that they cannot control. Example: He experiences chronic, almost pathological jealousy.

[Jaak]

I think our environment has a lot to do with it . People are not living as they are meant to be living.
The ¨outside world¨ (physical) vs the ¨inner world¨ (spiritual).
In the modern world materialism is the king , cash rules everything. Hard to evolve spiritually when evolving your soul is ridiculed or in some cases you might get in serious trouble for it .
One of the reasons why i dont have a high opinion about desert religions (judaism,christianity,islam) that are heavily inclined to materialism . Be a good lamb/obedient slave and you will get all kinds of materialistic pleasures and wealth in the afterlife (all them virgins and to live in a place made out of gold and gems) ...
And the main reason that they see themselves not part of nature but something different. Im more inclined to shamanism/tengrism that has been native to the region where i come from for thousands of years. Balance with everything is the key and everything you do must have a reason behind it and it all certainly have consequences for your soul and the material world around you .
I also believe in reincarnation, not because it is convenient but because of my out of body experiences and basic laws of physic where energy can neither be created or destroyed ,only transformed.
If people took that as reality then maybe they would take more care of the environment where they will be reincarnating back. But these days it seems people have attitude that whatever comes after me , i dont care.
In our old Taara religion it was pretty simple. For example if it came to cutting down a tree then there had to be a reason for it (you want to build a boat or a house or make some space for farmland etc). Then you go explain that reason to the tree , ask forgiveness for doing it and then plant couple trees somewhere else to make up for cutting down the tree .
And i think if everybody lived like this the world would be a better place because people these days are doing all kinds of nonsense without a care or thought what will be the outcome or why they are even doing it. To get attention or get some materialistic wealth etc... But we live in conditions where this bad behaviour pays , and getting more wealthy means you live more comfortable physically while going in the opposite direction spiritually . And from that people will get depression/pressure in the soul because there are problems in their inner world or the inner world is not in balance with outside world . And these days our ¨outside world¨ is a pure nonsense in many ways and i think its almost impossible to be in harmony with it with your soul.
Anybody who tries to live in a way that is good for their spirit most likely wont be doing well in this modern environment and will end up living under the bridge or as an hermit far away from others in the nature.
I think people are not meant to live in gigantic cities but rather in family farms or in villages like in the old days. Close to the nature with a loving community where people are not competing for survival but help each other out.
Modern life has turned into competition while it certainly doesnt need to be one .

Bill asks what the future might be. When things are going as they are now then it is going to get worse because as much as i have looked around then pretty much everywhere on this planet people are pushed into big cities and the life on the country side is being made more difficult or eradicated. People need to be close to nature and part of nature because thats how it is . Anybody who has grown food or taken care of any kind of life to prosper probably would agree.
Thats just my opinion ,feel free to disagree .

I agree with just about everything you said, but the quote I chose to respond to really caught my attention. Our family has always lived rural - away from a large city. Our work has always been within the large cities and very much needs to be in order for us to make enough money for our family. I have never felt that we have a home where we are happy enough to want to stay forever as a home further out into the country has always been more attractive.

It is like we are trying to live in two worlds. And I feel bad for my kids as they try to navigate through their lives as I see them stepping out into the city but always eager to return home. I could see that this in itself could cause mental and emotional injury.

I wouldn't be surprised to see each of them finding a job that they can do online so that they can just go into the city when they so choose.

[onawah]

I wouldn't limit widespread pathology to the West, by any means.
For example, the Chinese people have been so manipulated and brainwashed by the CCP's propaganda that I suspect they are probably now the most pathological on the planet. See:

...Although the current inevitable unrest and outbreaks of violence could also be viewed (ironically) as a sign of health, hopefully leading to the downfall of the CCP and the development of a much more humane form of government. The impact of the new tariffs may very well hasten that process.

The impact of environmental factors on human (as well as animal) physiology and psychology should never be underestimated, not just from pollutants both chemical and electromagnetic, but also the current diminishing geomagnetism of the planet as the current 12,000 year solar cycle and pole reversal proceeds.

[Patient]

China makes me sad. Of course, there are many hidden problems and horrible things that are going on in many countries (some not hidden so well), but China having such a large population....it is hard to find the words.

...and Bill, you asked if we could make a few predictions for humanity. Given the problems that might arise due to the chemtrail issue, I see a future very similar to the movie/book Logan's Run. In about 30 years time, we might not have much of a choice except to move in that direction. Hopefully we'll find a way to reverse the problems from the chemtrails damages.

I can't imagine the affect that would have on people. The power struggles, control and the rebellion against it.

Atheism has always been rudderless and a happy hunting ground for evil entities to find confused fools looking for a meaning for their lives.

As the spiritual polarising effect intensifies, that happy hunting ground itself has been weaponised and utilised beyond passive inertia to become an evil pressure in itself. Over a thousand years of intellectual universities have given it tonnage and the last hundred years of ambient mortar boarded moral relativism have given it flailing cutting blades. A combination ready for a harvest.

How do we stand before such a Combine Harvester ?

As blades of corn grass, believing the injuries are accidental and preventable by churning out even smarter confused fools ?

Or by recognising the injurer and the injurer's evil genius ?

[leavesoftrees]

In BEELZebub’s tales to his grandson GI Gurdjieff says that this affects all humanity not just 50 million people. He explains it as the consequences of the organ Kundabuffer which was implanted in human beings millennia ago to prevent them from seeing the real purpose of their existence on planet Earth . Thee were unforeseen consequences of the organ Kundabuffer, which are egotism and an inability to be present as a unified single I rather than a collection of multiple I’s. However, it is possible to achieve a unified I and heal from this pathology.

I think that we have a situation of mass infection/affliction; a parasitic life form proliferation. It goes hand in hand with what seems like the increasingly acknowledged concept that beings who are occasionally promoted as harmless ETs/aliens, might actually be spiritual entities empowered by our energies, conflicts and emotions. Some of these seek physical incarnation through infiltrating our own bodily vehicles as well as puppeting our leadership. They exert influence in order to control the ebb and flow of energies through individuals, communities and social structures. (This, gathered from years observing an apparent possession, and from personal reflection about numerous experiences)

It may include what some consider to be walk-ins. I have spoken with two such self-identified individuals who are actively seeking to create a "global movement" right now that proposes awakening human consciousness, yet they don't see any conflict of interest in taking over desperate or injured people's bodies and minds. They have approached me several times to request assistance in various ways and I cannot help but view the act of taking over someone else's body and mind, even (or especially) those who are on the verge of giving up, as stealing what isn't theirs and eliminating the rightful captain in the process. An act of utility for them is a question of hostility for us. While I see desperation as an indication of societal duress and victimization that needs healing, they see a beneficial opportunity for exchange of the vehicle.

To me, this is opportunistic parasitism. A predatory behavior toward those who have become injured from being battered by the ills of an unhealthy society and recoiling world. Individuals who have the life experiences that appear attractive for them to assume, are the same people who, when functioning optimally, would be of greatest help to our human world. The unusually cultured, the highly sensitive, those with tremendous heart for others and uncommon knowledge or experience. It leads me to ask: for these people who have encountered such tremendous hardship and suffering, has it been orchestrated as a targeted barrage in order to weaken their resolve and exploit them? Everything the two who have spoken with me espouse about global unity might sound good on the surface, but their method involves significant reprogramming which they seem to view as "deprogramming" and then letting go of identity, thereby allowing an unknown element or visitor to take over in the absence of the guard - what they perceive as false self. It gives a whole different vantage to, "You are special, you have been chosen."

I feel we share space with these and similar entities who can assume the roles/bodies of not just humans, but also animals. However, they predominantly have gravitated toward people who hold power or are in positions (and families) with influence...as a calculated and often invitational avenue to control earth life as we know it. It would appear that much of the control structure in the world is affected by this exchange. They seem to operate as a hive mind, in a concerted effort to sway human outcomes and behavior, which is easily visible when parroting stances and mantras on the stage of media exposure. These are then mimicked by swaths of the public. Elements of that same hive mind persuasion can be seen in an infiltrated civil society and supporters who are subjected to massive campaigns against truth and freedoms of expression; creating nonsensical inversions.

There is a reason psychopathy is embraced in upper branches of power. Psychopaths and narcissists have no conscience for their impact on others and are driven to carry out measures that most people would resist. There is also a reason for most leaders to be of certain family lines both due to loyalty and inherited characteristics that might energetically support inhabitation.

Psychopathy and desensitization seem to be on the rise. Cause and percentages of the population affected have been speculated by several researchers who cite modern culture as rewarding antisocial traits and eroding empathy, including Dr. Christopher Lasch, Martha Stout and Dr. Kevin Dutton who has mentioned society may be evolving to favor psychopathic traits. This, as more and more people are subjected to escalations in conflict, hardship and suffering around the world. Poor physical health, poor mental health and obfuscation of truth lower human defenses and resistance. These are desirable circumstances for any enemy who wishes mankind to be so weakened that we give up, or so misled and delusional that we invite the predator in.

It would seem this has gone on for millennia under variations of right to rule and the divine right of kings, but I think more recently and noticeably a drastic shift took place when the US government and military leaders made the strategic decision to put scientific edge, profit and control over the welfare of their people. That exchange allowed for the US public (and possibly other cooperative nations) to become an experimental testing ground. Under that umbrella of control and manipulation are all of the pharmaceutical and chemical companies which influence our food and drug legislation, who control production and trade as well as the institutes purportedly in place to guide human and animal health, agricultural practices and the studies of various research labs.

Clearly, more than one official thought this was a reasonable exchange and every effort has apparently been made to perpetuate, if not expand and solidify, the agreement. Nearly 80 years of policies written to protect and hide those interests and details are difficult to expose and disengage from. Whole sectors are almost built upon them.

The inordinate number of related special interests running the show, take advantage of public support and simultaneously widespread ignorance while co-opting grassroots campaigns meant to heal the ills of society and the world. This contributes to mass confusion. Confusion fosters further imbalance and a society that is effortlessly steered through people mistakenly supporting those who do not hold humanity's best interest. Young men and women with good intentions, kind hearts and good will for others can be easily misled and radicalized. They might revolt against truth because it is so hard to fathom having done wrong when they thought they were doing what is right. Sheer cognitive dissonance. These are psychological tactics inflicted on people the world over.

Imbalance of any kind which alters the mental state toward stupefaction and negativity can make individuals and progressively the bulk of society, more susceptible to being parasitized. So in a sick society, led by those who know well that they are unaccountable and rewarded for being corrupt, where there is a high amplitude of stressors (many of which are deliberately levied against the population) ranging from poisonous foods and toxic products, inhumane conditions and laws that limit public rights to enforcement efforts which create destabilization of core values and community undermining, average people succumb to deleterious thoughts, actions, habits and behaviors in order to cope. When more people turn to unhealthy ways, even done out of necessity, it becomes the norm instead of the exception. Small changes have had exponential impacts.

One of the first things to suffer under imbalance and psychological upheaval is the ability to see outside of self and to empathize or feel compassion for fellow creatures, including man. Without empathy we do not see or care when our own species is being brutalized or subjected to cruelty. Without empathy, crimes against humanity are rationalized away. Lack of empathy and disconnection are necessary to destroy a cohesive society and cloud human perception to what is happening, as it is happening. It dulls what should be an innate recognition of suffering in others and the need to react strongly or defend one another.

Higher echelons of society ritualistically take part in things that will predispose themselves and their families to being infiltrated. Practices allowing this go back quite a long way and tie in with bloodlines, not just by tradition, but apparently by physical/genetic ability to host certain beings. The difference between low and high levels of society being infected would seem to involve social position: as either an unwitting inhabited game piece on the board to sow chaos and further decline/susceptibility in human society or as an intentional bidirectional power play to garner control of the overall decline.

Because we are frequency beings, we tend toward being easily affected. Our mental states and emotions are highly sympathetic and transmissible. External influence of this aspect can allow exaggerated susceptibility to that infiltration which some see as a mind virus. Accompanied are almost always debilitating thoughts and self sabotaging behavior which proliferates negativity within entire social groups of people.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” It takes on a different light when considering the spiritual and unseen domain. Especially if one considers the potential of being preyed upon by generationally persistent and focused entities. These beings appear to have all the time in the world, though our lives and perspectives are fleeting. Decades and centuries for us are inconsequential to them...so we need to be transparent with one another, dedicated and determined in order to have any hope of regaining autonomy and sovereignty.

Lack of care and a growing sense of futility become a threat to our own welfare because they lead to an impediment in our ability to discern the threat and a propensity toward unhealthy decisions that harm both individuals and the species due to our interconnectedness. If in 1854, Thoreau was correct in stating, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation,” then we should seek wholeheartedly to turn this around and urgently empower humanity with a wealth of health, knowledge, purpose and resources.

The direction if we do not? Deleterious to all life here due to our range of capabilities to thoroughly upend natural order and technologically inflict harm, unless we can reroute despair, cultivate inspiration and compassion, build a healthy societal and earth environment, create a basis of optimal nutrition and physical health for all people to access, and eliminate as much strife in ourselves and fellow humans as is possible, so that everyone can see clearly what is happening or what is real, and feel a flow of concern and compassion in place of the present growing distress...so that we encourage one another to care enough to want to protect ourselves and our loved ones and to defend the creatures and people around us who need protection, or help. We have to take care of our fellow humans and seek to find unity as a species. Without this, any atrocity can occur with little push back or sense of clear direction in recourse.

We have to generate a healthy defensive reaction within us, which begins with knowledge. We cannot allow ourselves to enter or remain in a state where that has been traumatized out of us, if people and human society are to respond appropriately to any invasive policies or external threats.

Pathological illness in people of the west is a fact, but it is also amplified because of influence on the rest of the world's leadership and the scale or reach American media has beyond what anyone in the west would ever see from other countries and populations.

I think all of humanity is at stake and being predated upon, however, other cultures have a healthier dialogue and record of acknowledging spiritual conflicts, unseen forces and a willingness to discuss and analyze the origins of humanity. Americans, in particular, are hobbled by lack of exposure, lack of education and lack of historical reference to these topics.
