I always remember the advice of Bulgakov’s professor Preobrazhensky: “Don’t read Soviet newspapers before dinner” - and I follow it as much as possible, primarily in relation to our TV. But when I was working on this material, I still had to take a fair dose of “poison” in order to understand the methods and techniques that modern media use to shape public opinion. All these techniques are based on the patterns of functioning human psyche. I tried to analyze and systematize them. Of course, everyone can add their own observations to my list.

Distraction

How does a gypsy distract attention? First, a meaningless phrase: “Can you tell me how to get through...” Then a sharp change in topic and intonation: “Oh, girl, I can see from your face that you will have two coffins in your family!”, “Oh, sufferer, you have a husband.” cheats, and you know the homewrecker.” Changing the topic plunges the victim into confusion, the ability to think is turned off, and the subconscious reacts to “dead words.” We are paralyzed by sticky fear, our hearts are pounding, our legs are giving way.

For propaganda, as for any other type of manipulation, it is important to suppress psychological resistance to suggestion. If, at the moment of transmitting a message, the addressee’s attention is diverted from its content, then it is difficult to comprehend it and find counter-arguments. And counter-arguments are the basis of resistance to suggestion.

In what ways do they distract our attention?

Information kaleidoscope. TV shows are usually structured like this: short stories replace one another, interspersed with announcements, advertising, frames flash, and a line with additional news runs below. Wherein important information diluted with rumors from the lives of celebrities, from the world of fashion, etc. In ten minutes of viewing, so many images flash before our eyes that it is impossible to concentrate on anything. This kaleidoscope of disparate information, which we are not able to comprehend and process, is perceived as a single whole. Our attention is scattered, criticality decreases - and we are open to any “garbage”.

Subdivision of the topic. If information needs to be introduced into consciousness without causing resistance, it is split into parts - then it becomes more difficult to comprehend the whole. It seems that everything was reported - one earlier, another later, but in such a way that it is difficult to concentrate and understand what really happened.

Sensationalism and urgency. Often in news programs we hear: “Sensation!”, “Urgent!”, “Exclusive!”. The urgency of the message is usually false, far-fetched, but the goal is achieved - attention is diverted. Although the sensation itself is not worth a damn: an elephant gave birth at the zoo, there is a scandal in the family of politics, Angelina Jolie had surgery, etc. Such “sensations” are a reason to keep silent about important things that the public has no need to know about.

When we are bombarded with “urgent”, “sensational” news, information noise, passions and nervousness reduce our criticality, and we become more suggestible. Our brain works at high speed, it increasingly turns on “autopilot”, and we begin to think in stereotypes, ready-made formulas.

Focus on the secondary. Distract us from worries social problems also very simple. The announcer will talk about a new law that will lead to a serious decline in living standards as if it were something that has no special significance, is the same as reporting news in a small-circulation newspaper, and even printing it in small print. But discussions about banning the import of lace lingerie or the story of the giraffe that was fed to lions in the Danish zoo will wash over all the media.

The illusion of authenticity

The strongest emotional response creates a feeling of authenticity of events. We plunge into a different reality, not suspecting that this may be a cheap trick, staging, editing.

The effect of presence. The film Apocalypse Now shows how news stories are filmed. “Run without looking back, as if you were at war!” - the director demands. And people run, duck, noise, explosions, everything is like in reality. Of course, there is honest journalism, and reporters often risk their lives, but such stunts are not uncommon, especially when it comes to propaganda.

"Eyewitnesses of the events." The “eyewitnesses” that appear in the news are not much different from the “eyewitnesses” in advertising. Here is a young woman, stammering, with ostentatious uncertainty, telling how her son, while playing football, got his T-shirt dirty, and she washed it. It's like they're asking on the news random people, and from their words a semantic and emotional series is formed, which must be introduced into our consciousness. The strongest impression is made by crying old people, children, and young disabled people.

In October 1990, news spread around the world's media: according to a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, Iraqi soldiers pulled babies out of the maternity hospital and threw them on the cold floor to die - the girl saw it with her own eyes. The girl's name was hidden for security reasons. During the 40 days before the invasion of Iraq, President Bush recalled this story more than once, and the US Senate, when discussing a future military action, also referred to this fact. It later turned out that the girl was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States, and the rest of the “witnesses” were prepared by the PR agency Hill & Knowlton. But when the troops were already brought in, no one cared about the truth.

Anonymous authority. His name is not reported, the documents cited are not shown - it is assumed that references to authority give persuasiveness. “Based on many years of research, scientists have established...” - which scientists? “Doctors recommend toothpaste...” - what kind of doctors? “A source from the president’s inner circle, who wished to remain anonymous, reports...”, etc. Such information is most often pure propaganda or hidden advertising, but the source is unknown, and journalists do not bear responsibility for lies.

Halo effect. Popular people - actors, athletes, musicians - often become “agents of influence”: they convince fans of things they themselves don’t really understand. They are skillfully used by politicians and advertisers, because it is known: if a person is an authority for us in one thing, then we are ready to believe him in another.

Substitution

One of the most important techniques of brainwashing is the replacement of one fact or phenomenon with another, often with a completely opposite sign. Moreover, this is done unnoticed by the viewer or listener.

Creation of associations. The essence of the technique is to tie a certain object to something that the mass consciousness will perceive as clearly bad or good. One side says: fascists. Another: terrorists. Such metaphors enable associative thinking and save our intellectual effort. We are being driven into yet another propaganda trap. And so, instead of understanding the essence of the problem, we cling to these associations, false analogies and metaphors. This is how our brain works: whenever possible, it tries not to do unnecessary work.

In fact, associations and metaphors rarely make things clear. For example, they tell us: “Putin is like Peter the Great.” We are hinted that we know what the times of Peter and the results of his activities actually were. “Oh, well, I see,” we agree, although in fact we don’t understand anything.

When information is associated with known facts, phenomena, people whom we perceive positively, a positive emotional transfer occurs. How does this happen in advertising? Here is an obviously successful person driving a car - if we have the same one, we will also achieve success.

Often messages are supported by video. For example, they tell us about something, and on the screen - Hitler, Nazis, swastikas, everything that causes us fear and disgust. The information itself has nothing to do with German Nazism, but in our minds one thing has already connected with the other.

Conditioned reflex communication is also used. Let's say one event (person, product) is presented as good, another - as bad. When people talk about good things, an optimistic, pleasant melody plays in the background, which we all love. If they show “bad”, alarming music plays and sad faces flash. That's it: the conditioned reflex circuit is closed.

Change of "sign". The main purpose of the technique is to call black white, and white black, change “plus” to “minus” or vice versa. You can “recolor” any events, call pogroms protest demonstrations, bandits - freedom fighters, mercenaries - volunteers.

The propagandists of the Third Reich were especially successful in this field: the Gestapo did not arrest citizens, but “subjected them to pre-trial detention,” Jews were not robbed, but took their property “under reliable protection,” the invasion of Poland in 1939 was a “police action.” Soviet tanks in Czechoslovakia and Hungary “restored constitutional order.” Karel Capek ironized about this: “The enemy insidiously attacked our planes, which were peacefully bombing his cities.”

Direct falsification. To create the necessary mood in society, what is desired is presented as reality. For example, the news reports that “there is confusion and vacillation in the opposition camp”, “demand for prestigious offices in the center exceeds supply.” And since the majority thinks in stereotypes - “since everyone is talking about it, it means it is so.” In fact, the “facts” are pulled out of thin air.

In elections, we are often guided by sociological ratings: we want to vote for the strong, not the weak. If the average person who strives to be “like everyone else” is given the feeling that he is in the minority, he will vote for the one with the majority. Therefore, having announced falsified data on the eve of the elections high rating candidate, you can actually increase the number of votes cast for him.

Numbers and graphs generally make us believe what they tell us: wrinkles disappear by 90%, complexion improves by 30%, the number of people supporting such and such a politician has doubled.

Repetition

If you repeat the same thought in simple phrases, we get used to it and begin to consider it ours. What we remember always seems convincing to us, even if the memorization occurred during the mechanical repetition of a commercial or an annoying song. Before the April 1993 referendum, all you could hear on radio and television was: “Yes, yes, no, yes.” We came to vote. How to answer? Yes, yes, no, yes. That's it, no questions. And today many will remember this “chant,” but few will say what these “Yes, yes, no, yes” were for or against.

Why do such “miracles” happen? Repetition effectively affects the poorly controlled subconscious and leads to the unconscious adoption of other people's formulations, thoughts, ideas and views.

Goebbels, a famous virtuoso of brainwashing, said: “The masses call true the information that is most familiar. Ordinary people are usually much more primitive than we imagine... The most extraordinary results... will be achieved by those who are able to reduce problems to the simplest words and expressions and who have the courage to constantly repeat them in this simplified form, despite the objections of high-minded intellectuals.

In the 1980s, political psychologists Donald Kinder and Shanto Iyengar conducted an experiment. They edited the evening news in such a way as to focus viewers' attention on one issue, and the rest went on in the background. Thus, the first group of subjects was told day after day about the weakness of American defense, the second group was frightened bad environment, the third - growing inflation. As a result, after a week, the majority of participants in the experiment were convinced that the problem that was emphasized in “their” news should be addressed by the country first, and they assessed the current US president by how he dealt with it.

It turns out that the manipulator does not need to fight the enemy’s ideas; it is enough to tirelessly repeat the necessary formulations.

In September 1950, the Miami News published a sensational article entitled "Brainwashing Tactics." Since then, this term - “brain washing” - has firmly entered the international lexicon. Edward Hunter, the author of the article and a CIA propaganda operative whose cover was as a journalist, later published a series of books and articles on the subject. He derived his term from the Chinese expression “si-nao” (“cleanse the mind”), which did not have any political connotation in China. The CIA developed the brainwashing technique first as part of Project Bluebird, then “Artichoke”, and from 3 In April 1953, the secret work received a new code name - the MK-Ultra project. The purpose of the experiments became much more sinister: not just to influence a person, but to radically restructure his way of thinking. The initiators of this program were also haunted by cases of “radical degeneration” of American soldiers who were captured during Korean War. They began to denigrate and denigrate the US government and its policies with all their might. Their speeches through the radio propaganda channels of the North, as reported from the front, “were full of the rhetoric of Moscow and Beijing.” Moreover, upon returning from captivity to their homeland, these once patriotic young people did not find shelter for themselves, distributing leaflets in support North Korea , and even demanded that they be returned to the communists. By the end of the Korean War, 70% of American prisoners of war, whose number in China reached 7,190 people, either admitted to committing crimes or signed calls to end the war in Asia. 15% fully cooperated with the Chinese, and only 5% steadfastly resisted pressure. The Americans' behavior contrasted unfavorably with that of the British, Australians, Turks, and other UN prisoners of war, among whom collaboration was rare, although studies showed that they were treated about as poorly as the Americans. The American president and the country's public were discouraged and demanded an explanation. Including from the CIA. Now the “Korean syndrome” has been well studied, its description can be found in almost all textbooks on the psychology of influence. And then few were inclined to explain such an “unnatural” transformation simply by a revaluation of personal values. They explained to others that the communists had allegedly taken possession of the secret of the degeneration of personality, something was unclean here. CIA Director Allen Dulles personally began to identify the motives for the refusal of the American guys to fight in Asia. The world-famous neurologist Harold Wolf was brought in, and at the end of 1953 he was asked to study brainwashing methods. The search for “evil spirits” began. And sometimes in the literal sense: specialists in the occult sciences were also involved. The department of “cloak and dagger” intensively studied the works of their colleagues from the Middle Ages - the Holy Inquisition. The work of Nazi psychiatrists in concentration camps was again studied. In hospitals and prisons, doctors conducted secret experiments to determine the effects of drugs such as LSD and marijuana on the human body. LSD produced the effect of temporary insanity in experimental subjects. But after the effects of the drugs ended, no radical changes in their consciousness were noted. And just such changes were needed. Then Allen Dulles resorted to the help of Professor Even Cameron. The psychiatrist and the CIA director had known each other for a long time. They first met in Nuremberg in the fall of 1945 during the trial of German war criminals. Cameron was sent there for the sole purpose of determining the mental state of Rudolf Hess, the former Deputy Fuhrer, before the start of the trial. As Gordon Thomas writes in his book, a mutual understanding was quickly established between Cameron and Dulles. At one time, fleeing the bad weather of the “Great Depression,” this psychiatrist moved from the United States to Canada, where he later headed the leading psychiatric clinic in Montreal, the Allan Memorial Institute. . Having a brilliant medical education Cameron didn't just study schizophrenia. He set himself the task of discovering a mechanism for controlling human behavior. He claimed that it could cause “differential amnesia,” which means that the subject forgets what needs to be forgotten. It was precisely these tasks that “Artichoke” and “Ultra” pursued. Cameron “enriched” his practice with such methods of influencing the psyche as repeated repetition of phrases that cause attacks of fear or influxes of unpleasant disturbing memories in patients, electric shock, depriving patients of sleep, or, conversely, long-term, for weeks and months, plunging them into oblivion through the use of the strongest sleeping pills. This was done with the goal of changing the patient’s personality, completely erasing all biographical events from his memory, depriving him of old habits and beliefs, imposing new ones. Cameron himself wrote: “Patients went through three stages of the course. During the first, they lost most of their memory. But at the same time they understood where they were and why. On the second, they lost the idea of ​​time and space, but still tried to retain something in their memory. True, they were no longer able to answer questions such as “where am I?” This condition worried them and caused them great concern. At the third stage, anxiety disappeared. A state of complete oblivion ensued."

Cameron determined changes in the personality behavior pattern (pattern) of normal people and schizophrenics using intense electric shock, which was usually combined with prolonged sleep under the influence of sleeping pills. Thus, this was a psychiatrist who agreed (and extremely willingly) to completely erase the human mind. Earlier, in 1951, Morse Allen, as part of the ARTICHOKE program, called this the process of “making a plant.” Cameron justified this method of creating a "blank slate" (tabula rasa) with his theory of "differential amnesia" as a treatment for schizophrenia, although he did not back it up with any statistical evidence. He simply argued that after “complete amnesia,” the person would gradually regain memory of normal behavior without its schizophrenic component. Cameron postulated the possibility of "differential amnesia" without evidence. This possibility, in relation to a person who knows too much and who can be made to forget what he knows, has long been the dream and goal of the ARTICHOKE and MKULTRA programs.

Cameron received $19,000 from the CIA through the front organization Society for Human Environment Research. Along with the subsidies, specific tasks were set for the director of the clinic. It was necessary to achieve such a position as to “erase” the existing stereotype of human behavior, and then program and introduce a new stereotype. Simply put, a person must forever forget everything secret and important in his “past” life, work and meekly carry out any CIA assignments. The Canadian newspaper Leaderpost in its issue of December 13, 1980 described the essence of secret research as follows: “Cameron ... used electric shock , 75-100 times the normal dose, while patients were forced to listen to tape-recorded commands for hours... Bombardment of the ear with sledgehammer phrases was combined with drug administration to put the person into a sleep lasting more than a week and thus make him forget that his behavior was artificially programmed."

The pattern changes that Cameron subjected patients to began with 15-30 days of “sleep therapy.” As the name of the treatment course implies, the patients slept for almost a day. According to one hospital doctor who gave patients what he called a “sleep cocktail,” one of the doctors woke the patient three times a day to re-administer the 100-milligram dose of the drug. Thorazine, 100 mg. Nembutal, 100 mg. seconal, 150 mg. veronal and 10 mg. phenergan.

Another doctor woke up the same patient two or three times a day for electric shock “treatment.” This doctor and his assistant wheeled a portable machine into the room, with which they administered local anesthesia and administered a muscle relaxant, which would help prevent injury during the upcoming seizures. By applying electrodes immersed in saline solution, the assistant held the patient, and the doctor turned on electricity. In standard electroconvulsive therapy, the patient received a 110-volt electrical dose for a split second, once a day or every other day. In contrast, Cameron shocked the patient for periods 20 to 40 times longer, 2 and 3 times daily at voltages up to 150 V. The method, named after its English inventors as the Page-Russell method, consisted of an initial shock, lasting 1 second, which caused the main convulsion, and 5-9 additional shocks in the middle of the first and subsequent convulsions. Even the inventors of the method, doctors Page and Russell, limited themselves to one daily session, and they always stopped it as soon as the patient began to show “obvious rejection” or after a “change in behavior” occurred. But Cameron welcomed such symptoms as a sign of successful treatment and carried out the entire program.

The frequent cries of patients heard in the hospital did not deter Cameron and most of his associates from completely “changing the pattern” of the patients. Other patients later recalled how they froze in front of the “sleeping chambers” where the “treatment” took place; they usually preferred to move along the opposite side of the corridor. According to Cameron, this was a combination therapy in which electric shock and sleep were used for 15 to 30 days, and in some patients up to 65 days (with the latter being woken for three days at a time). middle of the treatment process). Sometimes, as in the case of Lauren G., patients tried to escape as soon as the drugs they were using wore off; in this case, the staff had to catch them. As one doctor familiar with Cameron’s methods recalls, “it was especially difficult to get people to walk during treatment.” This doctor paints a picture of dazed patients, unable to care for themselves, wandering around the hospital urinating on the floor.

In 1957, Cameron began experimenting with sensory deprivation - sensory deprivation*. The essence of the experiments was as follows. The test subject was placed in a small room, wearing dark glasses, and covering his ears with special headphones. This ensured complete isolation from the world. After several days of such isolation, the subjects began to scream loudly and sob in the most heartbreaking manner. In the “vice of science” they could keep from 40 hours to 35 days, with subsequent continuation up to 101 days in a slightly different variation. It turned out that the method of isolation can break any person, regardless of his intelligence and willpower. Later, this method was actively used by the CIA, placing suspected spies in isolation with subsequent sensory restriction; After several weeks in isolation, the prisoner was usually broken and easily injected.

*Sensory deprivation (from the Latin deprivatio - loss, deprivation), sensory insufficiency or underload of the analyzer system, observed in a person in conditions of isolation or when the functioning of the main sense organs is disrupted. The phenomenon of D. is encountered by astronauts, speleologists, and others. To block visual, auditory, tactile, and other stimuli, a person can be placed in a saturated saline solution, the temperature of which is close to body temperature. The chamber should be darkened and isolated from external noise. Short-term sensory isolation creates favorable conditions for relaxation and rest, immersion in inner world. A long (several days) stay in an isolated cell leads to hallucinations, memory impairment, and deprives a person of self-control and control over the world around him.

In a proposal he made to the CIA, Cameron stated that he would test curare, a South American arrow poison that, when used in large quantities kills by paralyzing internal organs. In non-lethal doses, curare causes partial paralysis, which blocks these organs but does not stop them from functioning. According to Cameron's notes preserved by the American Psychiatric Association, he administered curare to patients while limiting sensory perceptions; perhaps this was done with the aim of immobilizing them even more. Cameron also tested LSD in combination with psychic stimulation, and also used other methods.

In 1964, for unknown reasons, E. Cameron stopped his studies. In 1967, at the age of 66, he died while climbing the mountains. The American Psychiatric Journal published a long obituary full of praise and gave him a large portrait. Another 10 years later, in 1977, the New York Times publicly revealed secret ties between the US CIA and a psychiatric clinic in Montreal. Following these revelations, nine former patients of the clinic filed a lawsuit against the CIA.

For more than a decade after the New York Times expose, the CIA refused to admit responsibility for Cameron's experiments. Finally, in October 1988, under the pressure of irrefutable evidence and demands from the Canadian and American public, without waiting for a court verdict, the new CIA Director Webster ordered an “agreement” with the victims. They were paid three quarters of a million dollars.

So here's how it works:

1. Insulation

Brainwashing can only be effective on an isolated subject who receives little (or no) outside information. This is why brainwashing is only possible in a controlled society.

2. Chant

There is a reason why the Chiefs use chants. Get people to repeat a simple slogan over and over again. This will drown out their inner thoughts and bring yours to the forefront.

3. Imitation

Imitation is the most effective form of brainwashing. Repeat the last words the person said, and he will be more open to you and your suggestions.

4. We are together

Find the enemy and show that he is “against us.” “Us” versus “them” is a great pattern that evokes strong emotions such as hatred and loyalty.

5. The illusion of choice

Give them the opportunity to choose, but make sure that the result is the same either way. The key to success is to make them think they have a choice, even if they don't. You will see that whatever option they choose, they will be more confident in it and more willing to commit to it.

6. Repetition

Repeat a statement or thought to sound more convincing. Repeat a statement or thought to sound more convincing.

7. Maximalism

Describe everything exclusively in black or white. This is good, this is bad. This is up, this is down. People who do not recognize halftones are easier to convince to carry out an order immediately, without unnecessary thinking.

8. Fear

Make people believe they are in danger and save them from that danger. Provide safety and shelter, or offer to destroy the source of danger. Some scammers, for example, will tell their victims that they were damaged, so their luck has turned away from them. Then they will offer to remove the damage for a small fee.

9. Use logic

Give reasons for each request. Don't ask to borrow a car. Ask to borrow a car so you can get to the pharmacy. If you have a reason for the request, it sounds logical. Even a strange request can be fulfilled if your words are full of logic.

10. Control the information

Provide information sparingly, quickly and in small portions. After some time, everything you say will sound significant, desirable, like the ultimate truth.

Before moving on to the explanation of the next neural circuit, I would like, based on the teachings of Timothy Leary and Anton Wilson, to comment on the technology of zombification and brainwashing of people and society as a whole. Below are excerpts from the book A. Wilson “Psychology of Evolution” with my explanations.

So, as mentioned earlier, when the 1st circuit of biosurvival signals danger, all other types of mental activity cease to exist. There is no concept of “time” in the biosurvival circuit; reflexes are triggered without interference from the emotional ego (2nd circuit), rational mind (3rd circuit), or adult personality (4th circuit): “I didn’t notice how I did it”. All martial arts- judo, aikido, kung fu, etc. - are techniques for reprogramming the bio-survival circuit. Their task is to ensure that actions performed mechanically actually serve bio-survival, since reflexes accidentally imprinted in this circuit are not always reliable. It is the mechanical nature of the bio-survival circuit that plays a key role in brainwashing. To create a new imprint (new behavior), the victim must be reduced to an infantile state, i.e., a state in which the first circuit is vulnerable. This requires a sacrifice (the people) simply intimidate. Stalin's repressions, Hitler's concentration camps, bombings of houses in Moscow. It is necessary to find an external enemy. Jewish conspiracy, aggression of NATO and the USA, Basayev’s campaign against Dagestan, etc. Further, the bio-survival instincts of the first circuit are fixed on subordination to those who have enormous power (Stalin, Hitler, the new president...) - just like Small child learns to anchor its bio-survival circuit on its parents. That is, after intimidation, go out in a white tailcoat and promise that I (We) will cope with this problem. All brainwashers (political strategists) have empirical knowledge (in most cases, even without being familiar with this 8-circuit model of Leary’s consciousness) of that the oral 1st circuit of biosurvival needs connection with an object to which maternal functions can be attributed. In order to increase the panic and vulnerability of the subject (the people), after he falls into the hands of brainwashers (sects, “secret police”, political strategist, government television...), he is isolated from everything, deprived of all the information. Thus, the population of a particular country is deprived of all information, taking control of all means of mass communication, from newspapers to television. In the case of an individual, for example, in the army, a conscript is sent to a boot camp and is deprived of the opportunity to see his loved ones (wife, girlfriend, parents) for several weeks or months. A political prisoner is thrown into a dungeon, a sectarian is isolated in a sect, etc. The first human being seen after such isolation can easily be chosen as a substitute for mother or father. This explains why people who are taken hostage by terrorists (for example, passengers on a hijacked plane) often develop a “paradoxical” sympathy for those who threaten them with death (Stockholm syndrome). This also explains why the conscript begins to see his old-timer "grandfathers" not only as tormentors, but also as protectors, and also why the brainwashed victim begins to please, thank and, ultimately, "respect" the brainwasher. Scare, deprive of information, and then feed from the hands (of the government) and that’s it - the person or the people is yours. Attaching the bio-survival circuit to someone (or something) is illustrated by the case of a giraffe, which imprinted a hunter’s jeep as a substitute for its mother and began to run behind him. This state reminds me of the state of consciousness of our Russian intelligentsia. Full “approval” of modern Russian politics, complete support for the ruling elite and complete misunderstanding of the democratic orange revolutions, which only leads to civil society. But more on that later. In any case, since the bio-survival circuit is connected to nutrition, those who deliver food become likely objects of attachment. And this is not necessarily food, for part of the people, the intelligentsia or the bureaucracy, it can be privileges, and money, and dachas, and awards, and grants. Political prisoners, conscripts, terrorist hostages - all of them, in the process of regular feeding, gradually become attached to to those who hold them captive. IN implicit form this is present in various religions and sects, the ritual of baptism-rebirth is followed by a meal-communion. Variations of these techniques can be applied even to those who enter the brainwashing environment voluntarily, as was the case in Aum-Cenrik, the White Brotherhood, in today's Kalki Bhagavan movement and other similar organizations. As soon as the victim finds himself on the territory of the community, the first step is to isolate him, cutting off all ties with outside world and its conflicting tunnels of reality (“Life is samsara, samsara is suffering”). At the same time, an atmosphere of parental love and protection is quickly created (the so-called “love bombing”) and food is served... Further, regardless of whether the subject voluntarily enters these new conditions or is kidnapped (or arrested, as in police states) , or there is complete control over the media and deprivation of all the completeness of various information, the goal of the next stage of processing is to break his aggressive-territorial behavior patterns of the 2nd circuit. This means that the subject continues to be fed (supporting the oral dependence of the first circuit with pensions and handouts to the people) and at the same time, his Ego of the 2nd circuit is attacked in all possible ways. “You are completely wrong. We are absolutely right. It is very unlikely that someone as wrong as you (like you) will ever become right, but we will try to change you, we will help you. As already mentioned, the feeling of "Inferior Puppy" can be enhanced by periodic doses of real fear. “Fear is a great teacher” is one of Charlie Manson's favorite sayings. In unfree countries, a favorite trick of brainwashers was to take the subject out of his cell, into the prison yard, and place a noose around his neck as if he were about to be hanged. The relief he feels when it all turns out to be a bluff creates the perfect vulnerability. If you remember, the young revolutionary F.M. went through this procedure. Dostoevsky. And after which he became a monarchist and a Judeophobe for the rest of his life. And there are many such examples. Initiated as a Master Mason “they recognize that this is the very “mark that you will take with you to the grave.” Naturally, all this leaves an indelible mark on the mind. Similar initiation rites exist among all archaic tribes, although not always so skillfully developed. Symbolic and less rigid versions of this rite are the ceremonies of our local mega-tribes: bar mitzvah (Judaism), churching (Orthodoxy) and confirmation (Catholicism). The rebirth of the 2nd circuit can be considered almost complete when the “Inferior Puppy” begins sincerely (and not hypocritically) seek the approval of the "Higher Puppies". How the Russian intelligentsia begins to grovel before the authorities. This, of course, begins as a forced performance of a role; an experienced brainwasher knows this and doesn't mind too much. He subtly stimulates this process so that the “acting game” becomes more and more real. As every actor who practices the Stanislavski method has long known, you cannot make three dramatic angry gestures in a performance without starting to feel real anger. You can't make three gestures of submission without starting to feel submissive. (This is the secret of psychology "company man" in which years of obedience develop real self-identification with the employer.) The conquering Turks in their time did the same in conquered non-Muslim territories. Christians were subject to heavy land taxes. For those who converted to Islam, this tax was removed. In order not to pay a heavy tax, many accepted Islam hypocritically, but already in the second generation their children became fanatical Muslims, joining the ranks of the Janissaries. So today’s conscript first tries to please the elder or “grandfather” in order to avoid further humiliation and punishment. Gradually he begins to really want please, i.e. prove that he is not really bad and "good enough" to be a soldier, no doubt he initially pretended to accept the tunnel of army reality, but then the game began to gradually turn into reality. Again, as stated above, this process is accelerated by a system of periodic rewards. The subject more and more often produces the behavior required of him. Since people are very complex, it is necessary to alternate rewards with punishments for “insincerity” or “apostasy.” The subject must understand: after initial stage It is not enough to just pretend that the new reality tunnel has been accepted; to avoid further humiliation, loss of Ego, intimidation and permanent status as an "Inferior Puppy", you need to start accepting it sincerely. Once the imprint (definitive model of behavior) of helplessness is established, this process is conditioned, and learning will proceed quite smoothly, especially if the people of the Chief Brainwasher (Chief, Guru, Leader, President) stimulate it with encouragement, support and general “reward” (for sincere submission) along with contempt, disappointment and general disapproval (for insincerity or apostasy). Now the reprogramming of the 3rd semantic circuit will easily take place. Human brain capable of mastering any symbolic system with sufficient motivation. And there will always be Goebbels and Vyshinskys. Here great importance acquires a certain amount of arbitrary nonsense. This means that the new reality tunnel, or symbolic system, (like the old one) must contain traps (gross violations of the previous reality tunnel and common sense). So that the subject can be accused of apostasy, of being “absolutely wrong” and thus incentivized to try even harder to become part of the new reality tunnel. In most armies it takes only a few weeks to transform a civilian into a soldier, although the states are as different from each other as a Catholic is from a Muslim. And the saddest thing is that a well-frightened population begins to believe in an internal and external enemy. Let us remember the witch hunts of the Middle Ages, or how loyal communists admitted that they were participants in Trotskyist conspiracies that, apparently, never existed. And the Jewish conspiracy in Germany, the yellow threat and the fear of a NATO offensive, and the expansion of the European Community. What a nightmare - criminal Yanukovych and his brothers are striving for power! What a nightmare - the Orange Revolution is the machinations of the United States and its political strategists! Although, what exactly has America done wrong to us? The neurological and sociological function of such “stupidity” (which makes the Rationalist speechless) is to separate those who are in the new tunnel of reality from those who are outside it. A leading party is organized (Nazis, Communists, United Russia, Wahhabis, Blues, Oranges, Speckled Grays, etc.), which crushes all the others. This promotes group solidarity and strengthens the group. And on the contrary - the emergence of a strong feeling of alienation and discomfort in rare cases when there is a need to communicate with those who are outside the semantic system of the brainwasher. Blue is uncomfortable with red, red with blue, and so on. The group, of course, must ensure that this alienation is experienced as the “superiority” of its group. Realities outside the new tunnel should be perceived as “absolutely wrong” - the same as the subject himself was before he was brainwashed. For more “ fine tuning These procedures may have previously used (and often used) drugs and psychedelics. However, given the strength of basic neurological laws, it can be assumed that many classic cases of brainwashing occurred exactly as described above, without the use of any drugs, and the same media, from newspapers to television, became a substitute for the drug. That is why in unfree countries and in countries with an imitation of democracy, the ruling clan seeks by all means to control the press and television. This is also what they strive for in truly democratic countries, but there it is more difficult due to outside control. public organizations and free trade unions. After the above procedures, sectarians and terrorists usually begin to change rigid schemes in the 4th, socio-sexual circuit. Government spin doctors, as a rule, leave this circuit alone, since government agents, for the most part representing a mixture of puritanism and authoritarianism, are afraid to deal with crude Eros. It's no secret that the most powerful secret society Middle Ages - the Order of the Templars - forced recruits to take part in blasphemy and sodomy. Just as the deliberate nonsense of all 3rd Circuit cult semantics isolated a certain group from the rest of society, this initiation rite separated the Templars from the rest of Christendom; the resulting alienation can easily be conditioned into a feeling of superiority. In other, often very well-known sects, sexuality is completely suppressed (in the ashrams of India and Christian monasteries), and this is another way to destroy the normal, from a statistical point of view, socio-sexual behavior of the 4th circuit. In short, the most easy way to be brainwashed is to be born into this world. All the above principles immediately come into play; a process that social psychologists call socialization. The bio-survival circuit automatically attaches itself to the most suitable mother or an object that replaces it; the emotional-territorial circuit seeks a “role,” or ego-identification, in a family or tribe; the semantic circuit learns to imitate and then use local reality grids (symbol systems); the socio-sexual circuit is imprinted by any experience of sexual intimacy available during puberty. Knowledge of these principles and laws allows political scientists to brainwash. As a result of this process, subjects may be willing to kill women and children, like graduates of a military boot camp, or be normally "socialized" into good citizens. In this case, the subject depends on where and when they were born: as Eskimo totemists, Islamic fundamentalists, Catholics, Marxist-Leninists, Nazis, Methodist Republicans, Oxford-educated agnostics, snake worshipers, Ku Klux Klansmen, Mafiosi, Unitarians, members Irish Republican Army, Orthodox Jews, die-hard Baptists, Wahhabi fanatics, followers of the Walrus Horseradish cult..... Most reality tunnels contain elements so absurd that anyone who has not been imprinted-conditioned by them looks at them with surprise and fear, asking yourself: “How smart people(or peoples) can believe in such nonsense?” Our consciousness is dual and, we can say that in each of us there are two people, the Thinker and the Prover. Whatever the Thinker thinks, the Prover will prove it...whether you live in the Christian reality-tunnel, the Islamic reality-tunnel, the vegetarian reality-tunnel, the rational reality-tunnel... We each have our own one real true religion, all others are wrong. We are right, and the rest are wrong. As Persinger wrote: “We, as a species, exist in a world where a myriad of data points exist. We impose a structure on these matrices of points, and the world makes sense to us. The nature of this structure is determined by our biological and sociological properties and environment.” I hope that the reader now understands the meaning of zombification and brainwashing better than at the very beginning of this study. And that reprogramming a person is almost as easy as rewriting a program on a computer.

Babylon, brothers, Babylon!

The function of the brain of a 4-circuit person is not much different from the functioning domesticated primate, i.e. draw conclusions from what he already knows. Leaving aside the higher circuits of consciousness, the function of the first lower circuits is to serve, as Freud put it, as an “organ of adaptation.” In particular, the oldest, most primitive and most mechanistic centers serve only biosurvival. More “younger” (approximately 500 million years old) aggressive territorial centers serve to maintain the sense of a pack, habitat and hierarchy in a tribe or herd. The distinctly hominid semantic circuit (100 thousand years old) is responsible for creating maps and models of the world - reality tunnels - which we commonly confuse with reality itself and, worse, with "all" reality. The moral-social circuit (30 thousand years) is responsible for creating the adult personality of the domesticated primate, or the parental role, or the super-ego of the adult socialized personality. It is this third semantic circuit that is now working together with these ancient contours and on them. The maps and models he creates are tools for our adaptation to social roles in the society of domesticated primates.

Thus, the Donetsk miner from eastern Ukraine is not “abusing his brain.” His brain is doing exactly what it needs to adapt to the breeding system of a Donetsk miner from eastern Ukraine. He superimposes the ideological structure of a Donetsk miner from eastern Ukraine onto the myriad data points he encounters throughout his life. Chinese Maoist, Iranian Muslim, New York feminist, etc. - each of them has a similar, in equally an arbitrary, equally complex reality tunnel. And they all look equally absurd. At the heart of the problems modern world lies in the fact that these reality tunnels are no longer isolated from each other. Just a hundred (and in some regions of the world even twenty) years ago, a person could calmly live his life in a cozy cocoon of the local reality tunnel. Today we constantly encounter people living in completely different tunnels of reality. This creates enormous hostility in the most ignorant minds, metaphysical and ethical confusion in the more complex minds and growing disorientation in everyone without exception - we call this situation a “crisis of values”, or better yet, a “mash of values”. Since everyone “favors” one contours in front of others, in every society there are people in whom it is easy to recognize Narcissists(primary circuit robots), Emotionalists(secondary circuit robots). Rationalists(third circuit robots) and Moralists(fourth circuit robots). Rationalist robots, like other types of robots, can either be fully mechanized or have some degree of flexibility, or “freedom,” built into their design. The completely robotic ones form a huge horde of the fundamentalist wing of the churches, both Christian and Muslim and other true believers. These people are constantly frightened and depressed by that (large) part of human behavior that manifests itself in the animal politics of the second circuit. They believe that since this territorial-emotional (“patriotic”) behavior is irrational, it should not exist. They dislike the rest of the human race who are not controlled by their favorite circuit, and are alarmedly aware that the rest of the human race do not like their. These robotic rationalists are also very confused by the new higher circuits - some of them even devote most of their lives to writing articles and books “proving” that the new circuits do not exist and that all scientists who have received confirmation of their existence are liars, fools, losers, charlatans or Damned Heretics!!! Like an emotionalist robot, a moralist robot, a narcissist robot, etc., a rationalist robot cannot be “argued” out of his narrow tunnel of reality. It's impossible to argue with him. We can only point out once again that each reality tunnel created by the brain of a domesticated primate represents a slice of that brain's personal history; and each such final tunnel of reality is also “personalized”. A moralist robot will never convince a rationalist robot that he is wrong. This is illogical for a rationalist robot! AND SO ON. Each of these rules of behavior represents “reality” for those who created it and live in it. Rationalism is nothing more than another group behavior, a little less tolerant than others, a little more technically useful than others, and a little stupid when it fails to surpass the last paradigm (picture of the world) it created. The completely robotic rationalist is that , whose nervous system has completely ceased to develop - can be determined by two signs (according to T. Leary and A. Wilson): * he or she is constantly trying to prove that most of the daily experience of the rest of humanity is a “delusion”, “hallucination”, “group hallucination” , "mass hallucination", "mere coincidence", "obvious coincidence" or "flawed research".* he or she never believes that his or her personal experience falls into at least one of these categories. For such a new state of “orange” revolutions of a higher neurocircuit (and I will prove to you that it is higher) is a well-planned coven of even more rational Alpha males, external enemies, Western political strategists or even dumber, it’s just the effect of the drugs with which the oranges are chipped!

neurosemantic circuit of consciousness

How can one get out from under the excessive tutelage of brainwashers - government officials, legalized religious figures, and even sectarian Gurus.

How can we get out of this impasse and stop being guinea pigs, Inferior puppies to Superior puppies or Alpha males? Become less programmed, more free and independent? After the above, the answer suggests itself; further evolution of consciousness and activation of the next 5th neurosomatic circuit are necessary! And in order to continue the story, the time has come to characterize the signs of this next circuit. Only this neurocircuit can be called the forerunner of a real awakening from the paralysis of roboticity. The word "neurosomatic" comes from the idea that everything we perceive is registered by our brain and entire nervous system. “Neuro” is the nervous system, the neurons of which it consists. "Somatics" - emotions and sensations of the body. They are interconnected with each other. This idea makes it possible to influence the level of consciousness through the body and vice versa. The fifth circuit is tied to the cortex of the right hemisphere and is neurologically connected to the limbic system (first circuit). Here is the connection between NEURO-PSYCHO (intuition) and SOMA (body). This circuit is responsible for intuition and foresight. Unlike the previous circuits, which operate with units of information, in other words, “thinks” logically and is responsible “for words,” this circuit thinks more globally, thinks trends or as psychologists say, gestalts. From the height of this level you can see "streams of events" and not individual cut-out pictures of her. The 5th Neurosomatic circuit is responsible for intuitive “punctures of the Essence”. In other words, thinking at the level of the 5th circuit allows see victory, the means by which it will be achieved, and the technologies that will be needed for this. Here lies the secret "creative solutions": they are by no means taken out of thin air, but are brought into the world by intuitive insights. Each one is like this innovation therefore, it makes sense, although very often it is hidden from the analytical interpretation of 4-circuit domesticated primates. And you probably already understood what I was getting at, and that’s exactly it. Political strategists and the participants in the velvet revolutions themselves are carriers of this 5th neurosomatic circuit. That is why the orange demonstrators are so incredibly organized. “Indeed, from the outside it seems that the organization of the orange movement is the height of organizational perfection, that it exists ideally organized group, capable of managing hundreds of thousands of people, capable of warming them up, feeding them, treating them, etc., overnight. Indeed, there are no drunks or hooligans to be seen, no hungry, sick or frozen people to be seen.”- says a witness to the events, Russian right-wing liberal Boris Nemtsov. “But when you start to look closely, it turns out that the matter is not only in the organization of the opposition (although, of course, there is one), but in the fact that the responsibility of the people (awareness) gathered in the square is very high. People are united by one idea - to overthrow this hateful government... self-organization of the people is a much more significant factor than some administrative technologies". This is how it was described in Novaya Gazeta and I saw this on the streets of Kiev. We must pay tribute to Nemtsov and he noticed that “self-organization technology has important element: people (5th circuit) appeared who took the initiative to maintain order and force others to observe it. These people are not appointed by anyone, they are from the people. They just turned out to be more authoritative in their qualities than the others. Look: 150 thousand people live in tent cities all over Kyiv - that’s a lot. No organization from above could provide these 150 thousand with everything they need, especially in winter.” Very interesting evidence that confirms the most daring anarchist theories. People who just yesterday were calloused ordinary people, and not some kind of heroes, are able to govern themselves, without orders from above. And it doesn’t matter that they do it under an orange banner! Even if it’s under orange, the main thing is that they are convinced: the slogan “We are rich, and we will not be robbed!” (tracing copy of Latin American: “A united people will never be defeated!”) is not a spell, but a guide to action.” But let’s return to the characteristics of the consciousness of a person with the 5th neurosomatic circuit turned on. There are even medical characteristic features activation of this circuit, this is an elevated mood and the fact that a person stops going to the hospital. This circuit is responsible for good health, namely for the complete restructuring of the body’s immune system. The internal hormone of happiness - endorphin - is released more intensely, which even leads to some kind of rejuvenation (compare what Europeans and Russians look like). A person who has activated this circuit, even for a short time, experiences a pleasant bliss that has no reason. Just very good is all. Total love for everything comes (including yourself), complete acceptance of people through the awareness of the beauty of everyone. If anyone watched the speech of Yanukovych’s wife in Donetsk after visiting Kyiv, then remember what she said about the Orange revolutionaries in Kyiv. What do you want “They eat oranges injected with drugs and everyone has bast eyes...” Poor fellow, she clearly described the state of neurosomatic bliss, but she herself was not able to feel it due to the underdevelopment of her own psyche. As one old Zen saying about such states says, “It’s just like ordinary life, only you’re always hovering a foot off the ground.” Valery Panyushkin vividly expressed this state using the example of the Kyiv orange events. “I’m in Kyiv,” writes Panyushkin. - “...saw a jubilant city. I saw a square filled with people in orange scarves and jackets, and there were so many of these people that I didn’t have enough eyes to take in them. I saw cars driving around the city honking their horns to the rhythm of the slogan “Yushchenko! Yushchenko! Not only in the center, but also on any street, that is, not to greet supporters, but simply for joy. And people are sitting on the roofs of cars, waving flags and also shouting. “In addition to the delight of the revolution, I felt burning envy that I would not see anything like this in Moscow for a long time. And I prayed to God that he would allow me to live the couple of years that are needed to see in Moscow what I see in Kyiv.” And how mistaken Dmitry Yuryev is in his article “Orange political strategists of Ukraine” (regnum.ru), arguing that “In principle, Panyushkin has no need to wait two years. He can go to the film archive, take video materials there, for example, about the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the NKVD (Moscow, 1937.) and see everything the same there: sincerely rejoicing people, the delight of the revolution, chanting - just for himself with joy - though not “ Yushchenko!”, and “Stalin!” and “Yezhov!” I don’t know whether Dmitry Yuriev himself was in Ukraine, and in Kiev and Donetsk at the same time, but as an eyewitness to the events, I can see the difference between the conditions of the people in Stalin’s time and during the Orange Revolution in Kiev. And just the extinct eyes of the Donetsk and Lugansk demonstrators, who were forced to attend demonstrations, reminded me of “sincerely jubilant people, the delight of the revolution, chanting - just for themselves with joy for “Stalin”, for “Yezhov or Yanukovych.” I observed such a picture when Yanukovych’s people who came from the East of Ukraine very quickly fell under the spell of the Orange revolutionaries and joined them. And this is quite natural. The state of the activated 5th circuit of consciousness is very contagious, and the state of consciousness of the people on the Independence Square is this state. That is why it is so tasty and gentle. Neurosomatic control most likely began to appear individually about 30 thousand years ago (according to the conclusion of Barbara Honnegger, who, after conducting a thorough study of rock paintings in the caves of Europe, came to the conclusion that many of them represent exercises to develop the activity of the right hemisphere, The Lives of the Saints are full of stories that either seem like “miracles” to the majority who are in the 4th circuit, or are rejected as “lies, deceit and fables” by the dogmatic rationalist of the 3rd circuit, but are absolutely normal from the point of view from the perspective of the polymorphic consciousness of the 5th circuit. The saint says that he is in bliss and is full of gratitude to God for the luxurious dinner sent to him - water and bread. (Of course, many “junkies” know this degree of neurosomatic bliss...) Guru (5 -contour, not a liar) enters the room, and his “bioenergy” is at such a level that the cripple jumps up “healed”; the patient simply experiences a neurosomatic activation through contact, just as some people experience a “contact high” when communicating with those who are “high”. Many shamans walk on fire - as they tell anthropologists, in order to exercise control over the "spirit", i.e. e. to show themselves and others that they have achieved high-quality neurosomatic attunement of the 5th circuit. Previously, until the 60s of the 20th century, the activated 5th circuit was the lot of shamans, yogis, magicians, poets and healers. According to one healer, "most people die from adrenaline poisoning". In our terminology, this means that most people have excessive anxiety of the 1st circuit and territorial belligerence of the 2nd circuit. People literally fight for survival, which, despite Darwin's assertions, is not characteristic of any animal. Most animals simply play most of the time, solve problems of survival when the need arises, and die if they are not solved; but only people fight consciously, so the Game of Life makes them anxious and depressed. "The cure for this is- the healer continued, - to realize: I’m not afraid.” Contact with a fifth circuit personality who controls the adrenaline surges of his second circuit can serve as a catalyst to propel the sufferer into a personal experience of 5th circuit pleasure. The goal of many psychological trainings is based on exercises that activate this neurosomatic circuit. Trainings by Norbekov, Dr. Popov, holotropic breathing and Rebirthing, etc. With the activation of the 5th circuit of consciousness, the internal biochemistry of the body changes, the hormonal status changes, a very healing hormone - endorphin - is released and spontaneous healing occurs! In this regard, I am interested in whether any cases of spontaneous healing among participants in the Orange Revolution? I am almost sure that many simply and easily gave up alcohol stimulation. That is why I practically did not see people drinking in Kiev and, on the contrary, a lot of demonstrators in Donetsk with a bottle of beer in their hands. Of the total population of the globe, the leading 20% ​​of the population are already able to understand any “wild” idea on the several previous and subsequent pages of this study . They have enough neurosomatic experience to understand that they were once completely robotic, so now they consciously strive to master new neurosomatic technologies. When the number of these people on Earth reaches 51% of the population, the greatest revolution in history will occur, equal in depth to the Life Extension Revolution. At the present time, unfortunately, this state is mainly activated only in countries such as the USA and Canada, in the EU countries, and now it has come to Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine! I also dare to note here that if the share of Arab-Algerian If, say, emigrants in France exceed 51%, then the country will again slide from the 5-circuit consciousness of the native French to the aggressive 4-circuit consciousness of Africans. The fact is that they live in their own clans and do not mix with the French. But at the everyday level, they are more aggressive and consider the more tolerant French to be stupid.

What benefits does activation of the 5th neurosemantic circuit provide?

Thus, purely pragmatically, activation of the 5th circuit is very beneficial for our health. When the brain uses its full potential, we have a new worldview and control of neurosomatic bliss over guilt, confusion, emotions and "body symptoms" of the lower circuits... It is very easy to determine whether the fifth circuit has been successfully activated. How often does a person visit doctors? If a person “glows” rather than looks drab, if he is energetic rather than sedentary, if he has a “spark” - and if he almost never visits the doctor - he has mastered the 5th neurosomatic circuit.

It is also true that entering this 5th circuit (and this level of consciousness) makes it possible to change the situation with money, love, career, personal growth, the level and development of creativity, life expectancy increases (compare life expectancy in Europe and Russia) and much more. The 5th Neurosomatic circuit allows you to understand the work of all lower circuits and put them under control. Imagine yourself as the driver of a car who got behind the wheel, started the engine, put the car into gear, accelerated the car, and then moved into the back seat, closed his eyes and became a passenger in a driverless car flying along the expressway. Isn't it true that such a life is like a suicide attempt? In my opinion, the life of many people is an attempt that they, like everything else in their lives, cannot complete. This is life under the influence of circuits from 1 to 4. Activation of the fifth circuit occurs when the passenger opens his eyes and climbs into the front seat to take control. A person living on circuits of consciousness from 1 to 4 is a robotic person (domesticated primate). All his reactions, and his whole life, are programmed in his circuits. Life in robotic circuits of consciousness means constant problems with recognition, respect, self-awareness and self-esteem, constant fears of losing money, love, health and much more. Yes, also, and the consciousness of people roboticized by circuits 1 to 4 is easy to manipulate, “promote” them, which is what they do with them. It is very important for the alpha males who control such a people that the people remain at this level. Such people are easy to manage. In the beginning, the main thing is to scare an external threat, and then promise a tasty tit in the form of an increase in pension and protection from external enemies. The transition to the 5th neurosomatic circuit of consciousness is the beginning of the life of a free, conscious and awakened person. Usually the problems of the 4th circuit take the form of guilt: “I can’t do what I have to do.” Problems of the 3rd circuit take the form of bewilderment: “I don’t understand why I got involved in all this, how to get out of it and what is required of me.” 2nd Circuit problems take the form of boastfulness or cowardice: “I will beat them” or “I will give in and let them do whatever they want.” The problems of the 1st circuit take the form of bodily symptoms: “I feel completely overwhelmed,” which, with chronic stress, gradually become concentrated into one acute syndrome. The neurosomatic consciousness of the 5th circuit relieves all these problems at once. The disappearance of “physical” diseases of the 1st circuit only seems more “miraculous” than overcoming the emotionality and aggressiveness of the 2nd circuit, the bewilderment of the 3rd circuit and the guilt of the 4th circuit. This is a pragmatic result for understanding why you need to switch to higher levels consciousness.
