Hello! This is Cynthia Sue Larson, with realityshifters.com, talking with you
about Mandela Effect and false memories. This is the topic that I'm mentioning
today, because it's come into more and more association between these two
things over the last year or so. Mandela Effects, of course, being the term that
was coined by Fiona Broome, a blogger who posted back in 2010
that it was surprising to not just herself, but a lot of people,
that Nelson Mandela was alive in 2010. Because they remembered that they
he had passed away earlier. Currently, I believe Nelson Mandela has passed away
in 2013, but a lot of people when questioned about it, do remember that he
had died quite a bit earlier than that. I am one of those people who also
remember that he had never gotten a chance to experience freedom outside of
incarceration, because he died while still in jail. Now, the interesting thing
about this, and what i want to talk about today, is the other idea
that I'll be presenting besides false memory, which specifically is a explanation
which is I guess something that happens often times with individuals when
they're hypnotized, and they remember something that actually didn't happen.
They don't even have to be hypnotized, apparently. It's possible to
trick people through associations that we have in our memories between certain
things, that something happened that didn't actually happen. So that's the
premise of "false memory." And the theory as I understand it being applied
to groups of people who collectively recall something that's actually
different in their memory from what historically occurred that the records
show--so it's the difference between what you expect--what you remember, and then
what's actual. So in classical terms of problem solving, this is the definition
of a problem. Because anybody who's using mental processes to make a
decision and analyze a situation, and look at a problem, will notice that
there's definitely a distinction here between what happened and what you think
should have happened. So in a Mandela Effect, where lots and lots of people are
noticing these things--and I've done a graph before, and this is from my blog--
Mandela Effects will affect a lot of people. It happens usually unexpectedly,
so it's the subconscious that seems to be driving the process. I've used the
term 'reality shifts' since the 1990s to describe the same thing, and it also can
involve anywhere from one person to a huge group of people, as opposed
to something that you do through what people might call "Law of Attraction," or what
I would call quantum jumps, or something typically more conscious, that
you're bringing into being, through the idea that your consciousness has
something to do with reality. This is a very shamanic concept, that goes way back thousands
of years. And it has back-up right now, in quantum physics. So, getting back to the
Mandela Effect and this idea of false memories, the other thing that I want to
bring up as an example that is relevant in this case, is that with the Mandela
Effect, people who lived in South Africa almost always remember the first time
they heard that Nelson Mandela died was 2013, four years ago. And that would
contrast with people who would be experiencing the so-called Mandela
Effect, or what I call reality shifts. OK, so that's one example, having to do
with geographic location. There's another example, which has to do with
physiological changes in the body. And in this case, I'll talk about the kidneys. A
lot of us who remember that something called a 'kidney punch' is to be avoided
in martial arts, which I've been practicing for 20 years. You avoid
hitting someone in what used to be the 'kidney area,' and as I'm talking about it
you'll be hopefully remembering where that is. And what I'm talking about is that
people remember the kidneys being in the lower back. So if you put your
hands kind of to support yourself on your lower back,
the way some people do when they're just feeling tired--that would be
protecting your kidneys. That's no longer true. And if you now look to see where
the kidneys are, here is a very teeny tiny picture, but it shows they've moved up
several inches, so they're now much more out of harm's way. However, the term
'kidney punch' is still used, and when I looked up references, it still describes
the sort of thing that you want to avoid-- which is, if you strike someone in the
kidneys, you can rupture the kidney, which can lead to blood in the urine, which is a
very bad sign, and people can die. So now it's much less likely that will happen.
"Kidney punches" the term makes no sense anymore. You may wonder who are the
people who think that kidneys never moved? Well, it could be anyone,
as usual. But specifically, medical professionals tend to think that
nothing has changed, and the kidneys have always been cuddled up right under the
ribs. That would be opposed to people like myself--who, I'm not a doctor, I'm not
a nurse, I am a martial artist--and so for me, it's a bit strange to see this change.
So when I look at the Mandela Effect and false memories, what I would like you to
consider, is the possibility that instead of thinking that lots of people are just
confused, and they all just decided kidneys should move, because it's safer--
or who knows why--I don't know what the false memory theorists would say about
this--but as far as the reality shift perspective, and the quantum physics
perspective--which is the one that I write about in my books--this can be
explained by just simply considering that macroscopic--in other words
large-scale quantum jumps--actually do occur. And they've been occurring for
thousands of years. So I'm saying this is part of the way Nature works; it's the
reason we live in such a remarkably unlikely universe. I mean it's off the
charts unlikely. It's the way photosynthesis works; it's the way Nature
works. Our bodies work that way, and we depend upon macroscopic quantum shifts
for a large number of things all the time.
So until next time, please keep asking my favorite question, "How good can it get?"
