 The brainwashing of minds which could be understood as washing the brain clean of its own natural functioning and thought processes, aka Mind Control, can, in my mind, be conceptualized in two words. LIES and DISTORTION. The statistics for deaths due to cancer in the US for the year 2000 is 2,403,351. The statistics for emotional and psycholgical deaths due to Lies and Distortion, has not, as far as I can research, ever been tallied or documented and yet I would dare to suggest they quadruple those for cancer. Unfortunately there is no empirical hard data for my suggestion because my stats would be drawn from unadmitted facts based on secret, and thus hidden and unproveable criminal activities performed by perpetrators of ritual and ritualisict abuse using Mind Control. Thus, to those found among the: - easily -conditioned- by- media general public. - unbelieving mental health professionals who have not studied Mind Control and DID in depth, have no interest in conditions outside their own expertise and practice or who have not encountered Survivors of Satanic ritual abuse, Occult ritual abuse, Goverment and/or Military and Cult Mind Control. - skeptical law enforcement and Judiciary personel. - uninformed social, medical, educational, philosophical and political populations whose understanding of abuse is confined to acceptable, or should I say, believable, DSM IV abuse criteria. It is likely that anyone in above mentioned categories would toss this article into the nearest trash bin because there is no hard evidence I can present. For me, the worst kind of Lie is the one that tells the listener, " This is the truth" The worst kind of Distortion is the presentation of the Lie that makes the listener believe it. This is the Lie that exploits the minds of very young children and the Distortion that implants a belief in the Lie. The Lie and Distortion that goes with them throughout life unless there is help to reverse it. This is the Lie that manipulates a child's vulnerability in the face of a deep instinctive need to believe the speaker (adult) and who has no defense by reason of age, cognitive ability and power differential to question, doubt or disbelieve what he or she is told. The contemptible use of the Distortion is to cloak seemingly innocuous and innocent every- day language that anyone ignorant of Mind Control would see nothing threatening or inappropriate in it. Subtle modification of traditional parental admonitions go unnoticed if one is uninformed of another meaning to the child raised in abusive tortuous environments. Example: Every day language would say, - "if you keep on doing that people will think you're crazy" The Lie and Distortion, says it this way : - "If you tell others what we're doing they will only think you're crazy and won't believe you". Another example: Every day language would say, - " Naughty little girl, don't do that, Mommy doesn't like it." The Lie and Distortion says it this way, - " Mommy doesn't love you when you're bad and you do bad things. Only bad girls, (or bad boys) do what you do." The ordinariness of learning right from wrong, appropriate from innapropriate behavior is skewed by the Lie and Distortion trading the behavior of the child for the child him/herself. It is no longer a bad THING but a bad PERSON that is the problem - namely, the child, not the behavior. And from one small Lie, one small Distortion, easily missed by the uninformed listener, grows a distorted world view from which all perspectives, thinking and functioning develops into decimation of a child's self-image, sense of self-worth and agonizing self-loathing. Lies and Distortion, like cancer, metastasize, spreading to all parts of the cerebral body in terms of thought, yet affecting all parts of the physical body, breathing, moving, reactions, heart beat, and every facet of ones health. Lies and Distortion permeate body, mind and soul with their influence. Like cancer, they spread in silent, malignant and devastating symptoms that increase as the condition advances. This type of growth is not found in any Medical Diagnostic tome, or catalogued in a Directory of Diseases. It describes a malignancy that produces, in my estimation, a much greater potential for suffering and death than any other type of cancer. A cancerous Lie can be one small word and the Distortion of its meaning create a lifetime of misery and pain. I will take one of the most used words that causes the cancer of Lies and Distortion. One small three lettered word used often in the every day langauge of home and family. The tiny spot so often missed in the X-ray of child raising machinery, yet, like a primary cancerous growth, this little word is repeated over and over and over, metastasizing to all areas of the child's view of self and the world in which it grows. In homes where parents verbally , psychologically and emotionally abuse a child with Lies and Distortion,the message, "you are BAD", plays over and over with ever deepening belief in it as the boy or girl develops into adulthood. In Mind Control experimentation this one small word is implanted in a child's mind during drugged, electro-shocked and hypnotic suggestion stated in such a way it will be heard and BELIEVED as being TRUTH. This is the LIE. "You are BAD. There's badness in your blood now, badness all through you - bad, bad, bad. You are BAD!" This is the DISTORTION. Because you are bad, noone will ever believe anything you say. Everybody knows you have no good in you. There's Bad in your blood. You're bad now and you'll be bad all your life. This is the BELIEF, I am bad. No one can change this. I can't let anyone really know me, or get close. If they do they will know I am bad. They will see I am bad through and through. They will leave me or have nothing to do with me. I can't ever let anyone know how really bad I am. I hate myself, I hate my badness, I loathe everything about me. How is this so entrenched in the young child's mind? Implanted so deeply that the "badness" is felt as a real physical entity, a personification of satan for cult survivors, or for other occult thinking, an evil spirit, and for Mind Control programming be it goverment or Military, it becomes a creed to live by, as it is also for all those raised in violent and abusive homes. For children used in Mind Control experimentation Evil and Badness can take the form of an animal or creature, or introjected abuser person, (this means the person perceives an outside person as being an internal reality). Badness becomes a very real presence, and in the child's mind, a REAL person, Creature or entity created from the Lies and Distortion. Bad, accomplished through MC was, and is, done through hypnosis, electroshock and drugs. An example: The Lie says to the little one, " You are now bad. Bad has been put in your blood. You can only get rid of badness if you Self-Harm in such a way as to be rid of it. All the time bad blood is in you, you belong to satan. You belong to us, you are evil. No one can love you if you leave us, not your mummy, not your daddy, no one will be your friend. If you say anything about this, the bad/satan, the creature/curse will kill you. The Distortion: The images engraved on a young child's mind through drugs to sedate and/or produce hallucinatory images, electrochock to further fragment the mind, and hypnotic suggestions that give orders to obey the lies is all the vulnerable, believing, suggestible little one has, with no recourse but to take them in as truth. The excruciating Pain of torture further etches Bad into the shattered mind. A concept that has long been in my thoughts concerns how, when so much is done physically, emotionally, psychologically and sexually to destroy a child's sense of self, their mind and their very soul (if that were possibe), HOW, the children retain their original GOODNESS and natural character traits? We understand that in the presence of prolonged and severe trauma a very young child's mind will dissociate to accomodate unspeakable events. Creation of parts/alters to take the horrors too much to consciously assimilate and stay sane. The phenomenon of dissociation occurs in the Mind of the person, child or adult who must block out conscious knowledge of what is happening to them. In this matter of dissociation, I will state my personal view of how it could be in the case of deliberate effort by perpetrators to destroy innocence, talent, sense of self and integrity for the survivor. How it could be possible to retain the child's essence that was attacked through torture of a magnitude most would not accept as being possible. The normal reaction to hearing or seeing such evil and cruelty void of emotion and conscience, is total disblief. Who will accept that people exist who would purposely inflict such planned suffering in order to gratify their own greed and power based interests? Never-the-less, there are thousands who, were their voice allowed to be heard, could testify to the truth of this as their experience. My personal belief is that I do not mix Mind, (belonging to the physical person) with Spirit, (belonging to the spiritual aspect of a person having NO physical joining). For me, these are two TOTALLY seperate things and the thought that has been real for me in answering the question of HOW a child, whose mind has been so traumatized through torture in which programming is embedded, can still retain its esential innocence and goodness. It lies in my premise that Mind and Spirit are two seperate aspects of the human being, The Mind is part of the human gestalt - the result of physical synapse functioning and response to stimuli - it holds all psychologcal functioning, thoughts, reasoning, and creativity. Spirit, for me, belongs to all that is spiritual with no physical component. It does NOT do rational thinking, analyzing or imaginative work as does the Mind. For me, the SPIRIT does NOT dissociate . I do believe that the spirit is capable of leaving the body in Near Death Experiences (NDEs), or Out of Body Experiences (OBEs) in times of extreme emergency such a dying on an operating table in surgery, or when a person is critically compromised in an accident, but I do not equate this with dissocciation of Mind and thought fragmentation. For me, the Spirit does not think . To rephrase, I think the human entirety/condition embraces body, mind and spirit. For me, the PHYSICAL consists only of body and mind, whereas the SPIRITUAL refers to the Soul which is inhabited by the Spirit of the person. The Spirit presents who they ARE, their original being, their true essence, holding all innate Goodness, innate talents, innate spontaneity and gifts. For me, the Spirit cannot be destroyed - it is the spirit that has brought men and women, boys and girls through hell and back where all but their spirit has been destroyed but for one thin thread of Hope glued somewhere to the Spirit that defies death. Dissociation, for me, occurs only the Mind of the person. I do not see the Spirit dissociating into parts/alters and fragments of part/alters. No doubt many of my colleagues will dispute and refute my premise and the concept, but it is a working one for me and gives me a tool with which to empower and encourage my clients. That the BAD so deeply engraved on the MIND is not only a LIE and Distortion, but that the GOOD in them has never been removed and CANNOT be removed because ones Spirit belongs to ones SOUL and is not reachable or controllable by anyone but oneself. I hear some immediately rebutting with the fact that a person's spirit can be, and has been, broken through torture and Mind fragmentation but I submit it is never the SPIRIT that has submitted, but the Mind that has been controlled, broken and fragmented. The Lie says: " We have broken your spirit. You have nothing left but to obey what we tell you. You have no choice but what we choose for you. You have no will of your own because you belong to us. You are broken" The Distortion: The Mind has been presented as the Spirit. It was the Mind that was broken, not the Spirit. The Lie has been presented before, during or after extreme Pain when the child's mind is drugged, shocked and hypnotized. Fake and real props have been used to produce mental images of blood, sacrifice, mutilations and demonic/evil entity representations. Thus, distorted reality is all that assaults the child's Mind. There is no POSSIBLE recourse for him/her to question or to doubt. Programming is all about these. Lies and Distortion. Witchcraft and the Occult may use rites, curses, spells, voodoo, ceremonies, sacrifices with the same result - a different form of Mind Control based on Lies and Distortion. Lies and Distortion use THOUGHT PROCESSES as conduits for Badness and whatever is used to represent that, whether feeelings, introjects, or other entitities. Mind Control is called such because it is all to do wtih manipulation of the MIND. For me, it would be a real error to distort this by replacing Mind with Spirit and call it Spirit Control - which is what would be true if the Lie is believed and the Distortion is accepted. I think it is the BELIEF in the BAD of the coerced child that keeps them chained so tightly to the, "I am Bad" So the objective of this article is my message to survivors that our Spirit CANNOT be broken, our Mind CAN. Bad has been put into our MIND, not our SPIRIT. This is my firm conviction and nothing will change this thought. Reality tells us that we are not ALL good, nor are we ALL bad, but it is the essence of us, our Spirit that retains and holds all our GOOD , and because of this we need to remember that our Goodness has always been IN us, for our Spirit cannot dissociate. It has always been our Spirit that held on, hoped on and clung on to the next moment, the next dawn, the knowing " I am still alive" Our Spirit that rose above despair, helplessness, inexpressable aloneness, the inner messages and orders cloaked in the all pervasive terrror of disobeying. Lies and Distortion, is not a cancer that can be excised without delicate surgery performed with gentle therapeutic touch. Programming and brainwashing are not, "undone" simply or quickly and this article does not presume in any way to suggest this is possible. My focus would end with the one thing that has brought survivors from being victims to victors, that has, can and will, overcome incredible odds. The part of us that has preserved the GOOD in us is untouched by anything perpetrated on and in our Minds. The part of us that can never be tortured out of us, or removed in ANY way. It is our Spirit to Heal, our Spirit to Win, our Spirit to be Free !
