Our very own psychosis

So there was this virus that originated in Wuhan and spread around the globe. The virus differed from most other viruses in that the vast majority of those infected had either no symptoms or very mild symptoms. Only a very small proportion developed a serious illness and an even smaller proportion died. Many of those who got very ill and died were either elderly or had other illnesses or both. But even in these unfortunate individuals there was little clarity as to whether they died from the virus or with the virus.

Now when a virus results in such a diverse spectrum of consequences, the logical deduction is that the illness or lack thereof reflects more the individual’s unique physiology rather than the virus. We’re all going to die and our deaths will be as unique as our lives. We all carry our genetic heritages and predisposition to illness. We also know that our lifestyles can impact on our states of wellness. Additionally, psycho-social situations (think ‘lockdown’) can impact upon our state of wellbeing through excessive fear (adrenaline) with resultant excessive inflammation (possibly predisposing to a ‘cytokine storm’ resulting in serious illness and/or death) and raised cortisol with resultant suppression of immunity. Not to mention the ravages of becoming hopeless and helpless (despairing in other words). Hell, you can even die from a broken heart (Takotsubo syndrome – inflammatory cytokine mediated).

I would suggest that we’ve just become victims of our own global collective fear psychosis which, with the help of the ‘experts’, politicians, conspiracists, mass media and social media has perpetuated the conditions which will further damage our economies, deprive millions of their livelihoods and lead to mass starvation. Not to mention of course the unfortunate individuals with chronic conditions who've been deprived of access to vital medical treatment because all of healthcare has been directed at neutralizing the corona mirage. Did it ever occur to the ‘experts’, to the politicians and others that the vast majority of people have survived the virus without negative consequences because their immune systems did what they were designed to do? Sadly the collective deaths of those unable to seek treatment for their existing conditions, starvation and suicides will far outway those that may succumb to the virus.

Acting as an apologist of those who dismiss this as something mental is very irresponsible and i fully stand for what i write before. Hiding your heads in the sand will not make this event unreal, you guys should join the one who think we are controlled by he reptilian elites, those believe in chem trails,, that 5G is designed to provoke the symptoms of COVID 19 therefore, is a hoax , the anti-vaxxers and those who believe th earth is flat.

Well, Ian I don't know what to say except this has been highly orchestrated. This is not about a virus; this is about control. And it's working quite well. See page 19 for Lockstep. You'll find your pandemic. Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development http://www.nommeraadio.ee/meedia/pdf/RRS/Rockefeller%20Foundation.pdf And the tests? There are none. What's out there currently checks for RNA particles, and we have them. Watch under a Microscope – Your cells create a Corona Cell…Have we been Conned into Killing Our Immune System? https://healthandmoneynews.wordpress.com/2020/05/22/watch-under-a-microscope-your-cells-create-a-corona-cell-have-we-been-conned-into-killing-our-immune-system/ There's so much more I've learned by way of saving my own life. The silence was deafening from those from whom I asked help. But I had this to rely on: “Joyce is no school behavior problem but she is underachieving. She is intensely interested in her hobbies. She raises and breeds tropical fish, hamsters, and experimental mice. She has done a great deal of research for her hobby and finds it a tremendous source of satisfaction. She hopes to go into research and her dream is to work at Bar Harbor where they are doing “tremendous things” in genetics. Testing reveals an I.Q. of 134 on WISC placing her in the superior range of intelligence.” I was 13 at the time of this testing. So for those who thought they were exempt from this madness, have only one thing to say: "People don't realize they are on the dinner plate until they are in the Frying Pan." Welcome to my world.

Thought-provoking post. Ugh, the chronicles of coronavirus! We, common people, have become disillusioned. With the conflicting and incomplete information, as if, we all are getting drifted to nowhere or drowned in the pandemic panic.

@Francisco Lopez "From the overflow of the heart ... the mouth speaks" Your words are revealing It seems just that at Judgement ... our "words will condemn us or acquit us" ... idiots ... imbeciles ... racist, bigot,hate monger and xenophobe like Trump I never cease to be amazed how two people can look at the same picture ans see something entirely different ;~) If you were our President ... I am made to wonder how things would be turning out ;~)

You might be a neurosurgeon, but your position is quite dumb. probably, every person losing a relative to the disease will think the same. I lost 3 relatives almost a 4th. for us is not a mirage. Yes each body is different and is not the virus what kills, are the body reactions to it There are a bunch of idiots, that in the name of freedom are putting other at risk, plus potentially overwhelming the health system to the degree of making it interoperable and prone to a cascade of other untreated illnesses, endangering and even killing people beyond the pandemic you call mirage. None pf these imbeciles have the right to use their so called freedom to endanger me or my people. in the positive side,may be the virus, as every virus, play again a role in the evolutionary process and by natural selection wed out of the evolutionary three those morons and make more difficult things for a a racist, bigot,hate monger and xenophobe like Trump.

Well noting what this ‘pandemic’ has done and is doing to my practice, I may well have to grow apples or perhaps wash politicians’ cars.

I’m not going to weigh in on this one, Ian, as there appears to be such a diversity of opinion among medical ‘experts’ Let me just say that I value your opinion as always. On a more personal and totally selfish note, I’m glad that the current situation has allowed me (or rather forced me) to work more efficiently from home, to the extent that I’ll probably do so predominantly, once the lockdown blows over. I no longer waste 2.5 hrs driving daily and I’ve found Tai Chi and Low Impact exercises on YouTube. Any more thoughts on you growing 🍎 🍏 🍎?

Ian Weinberg (Part 2) Pam's NDE reminded me of the NDE of Dr Eben Alexander... interestingly a neurosurgeon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbkgj5J91hE ( 90 minutes) Dr Eben Alexander: A Neurosurgeon's Journey through the Afterlife (2014) And https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MwnxDK3IxY (approx. 30 minutes) ... just finished watching ... compelling, trans-formative If I remember correctly Dr Eben came up in a post by Cyndi wilkins (which was eye-opening) I read both books by Dr Eben Alexander Proof of Heaven Map of Heaven Each reveals ... how common & similar are NDE's throughout human history ... hundreds of millions over thousands of years ... not limited by belief systems, time or geographic location ... ... a new world view evolving about the spiritual nature of Creation ... we are spiritual beings He mentioned this new book; The Science of NDE - Missouri Medical Society https://www.msma.org/near-death-experiences.html

Ian Weinberg ... "if consciousness exists independent of a temporary non-functioning brain then consciousness can exist beyond physical brain death" I was not aware of the case you mention: Pam Reynolds by Robert Spetzler (but I did Google & watch one of her interviews) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gpC36nCGbI Notes: from her testimony ... she is prepared for surgery for a large brain aneurism (low probability that she will survive) ... her body & brain are shut down /brain is drained of blood /brain no measurable activity in the brain (surgeon) ... she later states seeing & hearing her surgery (from the perspective of being “on the surgeon’s shoulder” ... per the surgeon “no one can see ... hear through normal auditory pathways” ... yet she did ... the light pulled me ... a physical sensation” (Pam) ... the closer I got (to the light) I heard my grandmother who had a very distinctive voice” (Pam) ... it felt great (Pam) ... saw many I knew ... I was connected ... my uncle who taught me to play guitar” (Pam) ... Pam ask if the light was God? ... the answer was: “the Light happens when God breaths” (Pam) ... “I’m standing in the breath of God” (Pam) ... the more I was in the light the more I liked it” (Pam) ... my uncle pushed me back ... it was like falling into a pool ... I felt myself return to my body (Pam) (part 1)

I have no idea. But here’s a teaser ... if consciousness exists independent of a temporary non-functioning brain then consciousness can exist beyond physical brain death. An interest of mine. Perhaps Google the whole debate around the surgery on Pam Reynolds by Robert Spetzler. The debate has been raging for 20 years.

well that’s a very profound thought Jerry Fletcher I didn’t want to go there. But in terms of the bigger picture that concept becomes very real.

Ian Weinberg You eloquently affirm my own thinking ... “corona mirage” Depending upon your position the statistics on mortality can and are being manipulated “Our very own psychosis” ... now doesn’t that you feel special ? What you state drives home the reality: that MANY people have become disconnected from reason & common sense A global shut down ... lock-down and (largely) there is no push-back (amazing) (although her is the USA it is increasing) ... mostly by small business owners that can read the handwriting on the wall I have said from the beginning ... people will look back and say “YEAH we survived corona"... but the possibility follows that we may be confronted with another great depression ... which will “far outweigh” the impact of corona (this won’t happen as long as the government continues to incentivize/reward unemployment) Or the massive national & global DEBT brings an unexpected consequence Another disconnect from reality: In the USA people are being paid MORE on unemployment than they were earning while working (this a reward for corona impacting your life) Even now people who can return to work WITH increased pay for “risk” ... are choosing to stay home Only once the unemployment RUNS OUT will people resume their interest to work ... (an entitled mindset) Once the government is no longer taking care of you ... and incentivizing you NOT to work No thought as to where that provision is coming from (people who are working & paying taxes to make it possible) Self-deception is very powerful ... as is delusion TRUTH: “We’re all going to die and our deaths will be as unique as our lives” The question we should all be asking is then what ... where do we arrive after our last breath on earth?

Ian, I continue to think that Gaia is not just a thought experiment. She lives perhaps not in the way we humans do but in a way more worldly lovingly pruning her gardens and limiting the numbers of the least worthy beast. And so it goes.

I agree with remark as to whether the deaths are with or from the virus. Maybe the virus is in many cases a contributing factor. Bearing in mind many of underlying factors as they are called can be life threatening, if not treated or managed. Some of the factors are seen as lifestyle choices, like Diabetes 2, which can make surviving the virus harder. Interestingly smoking and breathing problems it has been reported as meaning smokers are surprisingly more to cope with the breathing problems associated with the virus. I remember reading somewhere that what we all die of is heart failure.

Not an easy task to see clearly amid the current noise level so its good to hear a balanced and informed voice among the cacophony !!
