The Sound of Silence

[Ed Jewett]

One of the things touted within the world of geriatric medicine is that one should exercise one's mind regularly with crossword puzzles, sudoku, and other left brain/right brain games. Instead, I read the "Deep Politics Forum".

The above is interesting. I'm just getting started with its content. Thanks, David Guyatt, for the links to your articles.

Starting at the top, one could ask whether the patent referred to in the noted thread-leading article is real.

Google answers ( http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=189569 ) "yes", though I haven't opened any of the links:

You can view a copy of US patent # 5,159,703 on the web site of the
U.S. Patent & Trademark Office:

Silent subliminal presentation system

Appl. No.: 458339
Filed: December 28, 1989

I hope this helps.

Clarification of Answer by juggler-ga on 11 Apr 2003 23:40 PDT With regards to your "incidental question," here's a seller of subliminal music that claim that its products are used in shopping malls:

"Our subliminal music is currently being successfully used by over forty(40) top corporations internationally."

I note also that I have used HoloSync's "Virtual Audio" meditation-deepening brain-wave technologies; books, monographs and more are available through Centrepointe Research. Listening to the demo of 'virtual audio' is an experience in itself. The purchased "dive" and "immersion" tools, used with very high-end headphones, alters one's brain waves sequentially from beta (normal daily functional brain chatter) to alpha (relaxation, the doorway to the sub-conscious), theta (wherein the creative and problem-solving emerges), and delta (sleep states, including 'awake' delta, like taking a power nap on steroids), and even on to gamma (the place of deep Tibetan Buddhist-type compassion).

In my other 'life', I have also studied the ways in which an individual can take control of his or her own mind and use these same concepts to create their own place of excellence, high creativity and performance. People can be taught to summon their own magic.

So some of this research and inquiry into subliminal technologies ought to be filtered through the research being done in the fields of neuroscience and other cognitive research fields.

With regards to the religious/spiritual/esoteric stuff, I am still in elementary school in my research, but here's one that is of interest, written by Mark Gaffney, a fellow who also dabbles in the 9/11 field of inquiry:

Gnostic Secrets of the Nassenes: The Initiatory Teachings of the Last Supper.

I am not a scholar, haven't been ordained in anything, and can't afford to stay at Holiday Inns, but I did read the book, have written a review of it for Amazon, and find it resonant with my life's experiences, including the peak experiences.

But then maybe someone was pointing one of those Ronald Ray-Guns at me when I had them:

"Who will prefer the jangle of jade beads
if he once has heard stone growing in a cliff?"

I may be Jung at heart, but I am also getting 'too soon oldt and too late schmardt'.

In quick follow-up to the above:

"...a researcher named Dr. Gerald Oster of Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York published a paper in Scientific American about research he had been conducting since the 1950s into the effects of sound waves on brain wave patterns"

Wow, David Guyatt, those two articles you linked in by you and McMurtry are stunning ... chilling.

I take note of footnote #153 in McMurtry referencing Brzezinski Z.[/FONT] Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era Viking Press, New York, p 57 & 252, 1970 and the text [/FONT] “The logic in the prediction by [/FONT]Brzezinski[/FONT][i] of the appearance of [/FONT]a more controlled and directed society dominated by a power elite willing to use the latest modern techniques for influencing behavior without hindrance by liberal democratic values[/FONT] is compelling.153 Potential behavioral influence targets are multiple. Since those supposedly expert regard a victim's perceptions as psychotic, all complaints are disregarded, not to mention capability to bear witness. Targets may include anyone worth neutralization: domestic adversaries;[170] security risks, which may only comprise classified disclosures; persons witnessing serious improprieties; and those prone to committing advantageous felonies. [/FONT]Legality is readily circumvented by executive orders, (particularly declaration of a crisis or emergency situation), which can be sealed[/FONT], and this prerogative is only accountable to co-equal branches of government as is now the case with terrorism suspects...."



The red emphasis is mine and suggests that these articles also ought to be linked into threads having to do with martial law and the G-20 protests.

And it leads me to ask you (and others) if indeed there is any evidence that this technology is already in the hands of domestic US law enforcement and National Guard, or if it is already embedded into the LRAD technology?

np Bernice, but I'm a complete amateur on the subject. It seems really positive that Ratzinger said these things.
