Hello! This is Cynthia Sue Larson with realityshifters.com and I'd love to talk
with you about the Mandela Effect and the fact that this goes way farther back
than most people realize.
In fact, I'd like to invite you to think about your earliest experiences with the
Mandela Effect as you're watching this video, and even later, if later you
realize, "Wow, I just thought of another one!"
come on back and leave a comment, because I'd love to hear about it. Or send me an
email. As you might realize, I've been tracking this phenomenon since the late
1990s when I first published a book--the original version of this book,
"Reality Shifts: When Consciousness Changes the Physical World," and I talked
about the "alive again" phenomenon, mentioning a famous actor who some
people may or may not remember. Basically, I had heard that he died and
passed away, and then later I saw that he was alive again.
So if you saw the TV show, "Dallas," and "who shot JR?" then you might remember
Larry Hagman played that character. But this is for real! This is Larry Hagman
himself! I was blown away by the fact that I saw him alive again and I know
for sure he died before I wrote that book in the 1990s.
So now I'd like us to think about even earlier experiences. Because when I think
back to the 1970s,
I can clearly remember a time when I had heard a song so many times on the radio
that I'd gotten tired of it--
you know how you can get kind of sick of a song. And then, they stopped playing it
altogether. So I started missing the song,
ironically--the one I had started getting tired of hearing.
But then I couldn't find it on any of the radio stations anywhere. And I looked!
I kept changing the dial--nothing. So I gave up and stopped thinking about it.
Several months went by. And then, there it was! And the radio station announcers were
proudly saying, "This is the first time we've played this song--
this brand new song!" and that kind of thing. I was really mystified, because it
didn't make any sense to me how they could be saying that this was a brand
new song, when I had heard it so many times so long ago--
and then there had been a complete break in their playing it. So if you have
similar memories such as this--and other people write to me, telling me that
they, for example, have read a book that didn't exist yet,
and then they went to go find the book, and they can't find it.
Similar things have happened with magazines and TV shows where people know
for sure that they've seen a TV show, yet there's no way they could have seen
at that period in time. And so when you think about these kind of things, then you
might notice as I have that some of these experiences go back--in my case--to
the 1970s.
And that tells us that this Mandela Effect has been with us for quite a
while and perhaps even farther back than the CERN laboratory. That's what I tend to believe is
true. And I'll tell you why. As I've been researching this phenomenon,
it's come to my attention that a lot of us assume that quantum phenomena and
"weirdness"--that "spooky action at a distance" kind of weirdness, and superposition
of states kind of weirdness--that that only exists "under the rug." Under the von
Neumann cut. That if it's a certain scale of size that then it can be quantum if
it's small enough. And if it's over a certain size level, then of course
classical physics applies and we can ignore quantum effects.
What I'm proposing is perhaps we can't ignore quantum effects, and this
Mandela Effect is bigger than we thought.
And it's actually not requiring any kind of conspiracy theory, because when you
take a look at the way, for example, like this song that I remember in the 1970s,
and if you look even further back, such as examples of "misrememberings," you can do
all kinds of Google Scholar searches. In fact you can look at my articles. Use
Google Scholar, and type in "Cynthia Sue Larson," and you'll see that I've written
articles on the primacy of quantum logic in the natural world, and that's what I'm
referring to here. That actually, when you look at quantum logic being the primary
thing--that there's actually "no return to classical logic," as one researcher said, and I
love thatI--
then you know that we can start looking for historical examples.
Maybe we can find examples in movies like "Casablanca" that came out in 1942.
Some people actually remember that Humphrey Bogart's character said, "Play it
again, Sam."
If you watch the movie now--at least as far as I know, it is still this way--you
won't see any reference and any
inclusion of that dialogue in the entire movie. And so this is an invitation, then,
for all of us, as we recognize that thinking and asking yourself, "What are
your earliest Mandela Effect memories? What are the earliest examples of
something being a little bit off that you noticed?"
Pay attention. Pay closer attention. And thanks to the internet, we can now come
together and share some of our experiences. We don't expect that
everyone is going to agree with us.
In fact, we expect quite the opposite. You might have heard of Stephen Hawking, the
famous physicist. He co-authored a paper with Thomas Hertog back in 2006
about "Top-down cosmology." And I love the quote that Thomas Hertog included--
I've got it here somewhere. Yes! "Quantum mechanics forbids a single history." So,
that in itself isn't that shocking, but then when you put that together with the
observation that I am making that quantum physics can't be "swept under the
rug"--
that quantum logic and quantum phenomena absolutely are occurring at every level
of reality, then you start recognizing just how big this Nelson Mandela Effect
really is. So I'd like you to keep thinking about early examples as you
continue to ask my favorite question which is, "How good can it get?"
especially when you're looking at shifting realities--the Mandela Effect. It's
really important. So as you ask yourself,
"I wonder what else could have changed? What else have I noticed? And how good can
it get when I notice these things?" then
you'll have, as I've experienced, better results in terms of finding things and
also having good experiences in general. So until next time, this is Cynthia Sue
Larson, again inviting you to keep asking that question
pretty much at any time in your life whether things are going good, bad, or
just middling,
"How good can it get?" Take care!
