Hello! This is Cynthia Sue Larson with realityshifters.com, and today I'd like to talk with you about how
to know for sure whether a Mandela effect is the real thing
or might not be the real thing. If you're wondering, "What is a Mandela effect?",
well, I'm talking about the idea that was popularized by Fiona Broome in 2010,
but it actually goes back a lot farther than that. She noticed a lot of
people were talking at a convention about the fact that they remembered that Nelson
Mandela had died in prison.
That's one very popular example of someone being alive again. I first
brought up the 'alive again' phenomenon and talked about celebrities, pets, people
being alive again after reported dead in my book from 1999, "Reality Shifts: When
Consciousness Changes the Physical World. "Reality shift" is another word for
Mandela Effect.
Quantum jumps would be the variation where it's happening
instantly--kind of the science of miracles, if you will. Whereas reality
shifts are much more like Mandela Effect in that they can seem random,
like, "What the heck is going on?!?" People tend to notice them in more than just
one person observing it.
That's what I've noticed from the surveys that I have conducted about
reality shifts--which definitely is the same thing as the Mandela Effect.
So how can you tell what kind of Mandela Effect examples are real, and which ones
aren't?
I would love to hear from you--and think about it right now--which ones do you think
you've witnessed that sound real? Which ones do you think don't sound like they are real.
Maybe you haven't witnessed them, but you've heard about them. So think about that, because
as we know from the French mathematician, Pierre-Simon Laplace: he once famously
said, "The weight of evidence for an extraordinary claim must be proportioned
to its strangeness." And this been repeated by skeptics who are open- minded, and by
scoffers who are more or less just dead-set against anything different or
new. And we want to know how can we tell the difference? Because hopefully, you're
open-minded.
You're willing to think about it. Well, there's a little bit of good news / bad
news here. The good news is that you can tell, but there won't be physical proof
usually. And the reason for that is, it appears that it's our consciousness that
makes the jump between the realities. There are physical differences.
You can see absolute huge physical changes. But the only traveler is our
awareness--our consciousness.
If you're wondering, "How does that work?" think about Chief Seattle's excellent
advice for wilderness travelers, "Take only memories, leave only footprints." And
that's pretty much what we're doing when we go between realities with the Mandela
Effect.
so you could say people are mis-remembering things.
Maybe that's true. But what I'm suggesting is it's possible that as we
mis-remember things, we are experiencing some of this Mandela Effect. It might be
that we have visited another reality.
This could be happening a lot more than people realize, and I'm just putting that
idea out there. So side-by-side
physical examples don't occur. That's number two. The first one again is that
the only proof is in our memories.
Number two is side-by-side physical examples don't exist.
So if you're seeing one reality with Mister Rogers "beautiful day in THE neighborhood,"
then you're not going to be seeing Mister Rogers singing "there's a beautiful day
in THIS neighborhood"
like what we currently hear. Now we just remember the other version. Number three:
you might notice flip-flops, going back and forth between a couple of realities.
I noticed that when my family dog developed cataracts in his eyes. His eyes
were blurring over.
Sometimes he had them, but I knew sometimes that he didn't. And I just
informed other family members,
"Oh, that's okay, sometimes you'll see him with the cataracts. Just look again.
He doesn't have them." And that worked. And that state is the reality, but for a while it
was flip-flopping back and forth. So the thing to keep in mind is our current scientific
method cannot provide proof because it is founded on mistaken assumptions that
need to be overhauled.
We need a makeover for the scientific method.
Why is that? I cover it in this book, Reality Shifts, which is what I wrote in
1999, talking about dead people being alive again, and I do include examples,
like this watch crystal. When it's broken, its broken. When it's suddenly
inexplicably repaired without ever having seen the jewelry repair shop, as
is the case when I took this photo, then it's repaired. And so you don't see both
of them as i mentioned.
And you only have it in your memory. Sometimes you might notice a flip-flop.
These are ways to tell the genuine Mandela affect article. And then when you
look at the scientific proof that people expect to find, you're not going to find
it that way, because material realism is founded on mistaken assumptions. For
example including a so-called objective observer (which does not exist),
local effects only (that's not real), and material reality being all that matters
(that's not real, either). So basically, we're now at a state and a point in time
when we people who are paying attention,
watching the videos on YouTube, reading articles--I write articles about this in
the literature. You can look me up on Google Scholar. Type in Cynthia Sue
Larson if you want to see some free articles which are scientific, if that's
your thing.
If you'd rather listen to interviews, I've got a radio show, "Living the Quantum
Dream" on Dreamvisions7 radio. If you don't have any money to buy books, but
you just want to read the stories, go to my website,
it's free: realityshifters.com and I've got hundreds of stories from 17 years with
First-hand reports from around the world.
These reality shifts are not just happening in the United States;
it's a worldwide phenomenon. It's been going on for a long, long, time--as I've
been writing for years.
So keep going out there noticing what what you're able to observe, and
I'd love to hear your examples of what is a real Mandela Effect, and what might
not be. A hint might be a corporate logo that you might see that it's going
through transitions, and
maybe there's an explanation for why you see both logos side-by-side.
So until next time, keep asking, "How good can it get?" This is Cynthia Sue Larson
