Along with inadequate/unnatural diet, mobiles/masts/Wifi, vaccinations and various other things, neurosis makes it very hard for people to think truly rationally and intelligently. I´m a lot better off than most because I know about these things, but still a long way short of psychobiological health due to my neurosis. <br /><br />To post primal patients I imagine - and to ever growing numbers of people in our age - this is becoming more and more clear. We see how shpeople are so easy to lead by the nose. Portuguese advertising is a good example as it is very crude. Nutritional supplements (every one is a major con) for example, are advertised by "beautiful" young female models showing plenty of cleavage and leg, with a centimetre of make up and a "smile" which would turn wine sour.Why? What has this to do with ground clam powder as a (completely false) cure for arthritis? It´s because advertising has used well proven mind control techniques for decades. Especially how to manipulate with hypnosis. Those people are not using bimbos to advertise shark cartilage because they are stupid. Cynical yes. Neurotic yes. But informed too. They use older men in medical garb with glasses and deep voices because they know this hooks directly into unconscious associations with authority figures. It convinces by hypnosis. The "attractive" bimbos are associated with pleasure. Irrational. A complete brain bypass. It´s sad but if you want to sell big time, the last thing you consider is appealing to people cerebral intelligence.

So is advertising. And so on. in such cases, the critical faculty - intelligent, critical thought - is bypassed"-.<br /><br />I agree; particularly the way fear is used. . . "Risk Aversion" is the outcome and people flock to their perceived sources of solace. . . Be it their job, mortgage, or whatever mainstream 'mainstay'. . . food, booze and drugs added to complete the 'menu' for those who don't have jobs, mortgages or caring families. It's still hard for me to see it as a conspiracy as some do. . . I hide away from most people now to the point of agoraphobia because I feel guilty for challenging what I now see as an 'ideology' based on the philosophy of scarcity. . . I personally don't want even a third of what others say they need and I feel guilty for not even being able to get it anyway. . . Madness to feel guilty for something you don't want because others do have it and you don't want to 'rock their boat'. . .<br /><br />Paul G.<br />Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006514330039884557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-31399149436716658032015-09-21T04:36:07.954-07:002015-09-21T04:36:07.954-07:00Art: Only this morning a woman know suddenly and u...Art: Only this morning a woman know suddenly and unexpectedly changed her opinions on a huge subject on which we´d previously been in almost complete agreement. I wasn´t expecting it and it triggered big physiological reactions such as sweaty palms, butterflies in my stomach and so on. It also triggered a panoply of mental defences. <br />I decided not to struggle with her because I knew that my reactions were coming from elsewhere and were both dispropoprtionate and irrelevant to the actual situation. This was two hours ago and it is still deeply affecting me. Anxiety.<br />In a book written 70 years ago an American woman wrote "the Portuguese are great talkers but poor listeners". This is very true and from what you say above i indicates a lot of anxiety, like everywhere else. and like everywhere else, the Portuguese spend hours on ther mobiles. I could tell them about what this will do to their health - as I used to - but I know I´d be wasting my time. As you say, Primal pain - or need - always takes precedence. It´s prevalence means that the vast majority of the countless human habits and practices that are clearly irrational, even insane, are unrecognised as such. This is because those who might otherwise see them for what they are - which includes defences against early terror, manifesting as anxiety - are also blinded by their own neuroses against their own early pain. The Portuguese call what we would recognise as primal caused anxiety "Nerviosa".<br /><br />In general only the most extreme forms are labelled "mad" or "crazy", but also as an insult by people who cannot argue their point. Hence I have been called "crazy" throughout my life bcause I am different to the norm. Some of this is undoubtedly neurotic, but much is due to deep reflection on how to live a happy life whilst also respecting other people and animals. For these reasons i eat only raw vegan, do very little shopping, never use a mobile, or DECT phone, or live near a transmitter mast, and live my life with complete respect and utmost sensitivity towards animals and children, Whilst cycling 500k every week salvaging stuff from skips tr recycle, donate or to feed my animals. So whilst my life harms vitually no living thing, and almost everyone harms living beings in some way, directly or indirectly, peoples primal pain makes them label me as "mad", or eccentric" or "uncompromisng". I could also say that this sort of defensiveness knee jerk reaction is "conditioning" but I think conditioning is largely a form of hypnosis which only people with primal pain are vulnerabe to. Education is hypnosis. So is advertising. And so on. in such cases, the critical faculty - intelligent, critical thought - is bypassed. If you know how, as educators and advertisers and governments everywhere do, the rest is easy. Gary Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
