HOW TO DELETE VIRUSES AND RECONFIGURE THE BRAIN’S HARD DRIVE 
 
 
                                                          My Shell
                               Though you know me not, why look at me so?
                               But a shell of me you gaze upon
                               Inside lies the reality you seek.
                               Look deeper and know me
                               That is my inner cry.
                               Does not the cry reach out to you?
                               Can you not feel it?
                               For feel you must.
                               I, myself, the entirety, the inner man cannot be seen.
                               I am but a prisoner, struggling
                              To escape this, the shell.
                               Look deeper, enter, come walk with me in thoughtful silence.
 
This poem was written by a sufferer who was unable to express feelings. To most people this person appeared OK on the outside. Yet on the inside, there was grief. The poetic words sprang from a tormented heart.
 
Visitors to this internet site are invited to e-mail their personal reactions to this person’s cry for help to their internet friends. Have you ever known anyone like this? Have you ever felt this way? Perhaps you know someone who also seems to have an outer “Shell” inhibiting expression of emotions. If so this web site might be relevant.
 
Moreover, it might prove of interest to professionals whose occupation requires interviewing skills. Interviews reveal only what a person chooses to reveal and is able to recall. Interviewing can not access memories defensively blocked from recollection. Verbal communication is also restricted by the limitations of languages as a mode of emotional expression.
 
Also invited are poets, artists, musicians, philosophers, the “spiritually” inclined and all others fascinated by human body-mind-spirit symbolic expression. This class in cyberspace examines how false information and traumatic life experiences accumulates in the brain’s hard drive.
 
In addition, particular attention will be given to examining the unique way that traumatic life experiences gets vividly stored in the central nervous system memory centers. Individual histories of traumatized individuals will be presented illustrating how such stressful virulent imagery then gets incorporated into “Nightmares” and a variety of distressing disturbances. Examples will be given of how such emotionally charged imagery may be activated and subsequently reconditioned by a projective technique called the Somatic Inkblot Series (SIS).
 
Welcome:
 
Welcome to this internet classroom provided by the Somatic Inkblot Society in India! This is a nonprofit international society based in India comprised of mental health professionals and behavioral scientists. These are dedicated to developing techniques for exploring inner space and for releasing a suffering person’s “Inner cry”. They publish their work in the SIS Journal of Projective Psychology & Mental Health. This publication is abstracted in “APA’s Psychological Abstract” (Regd. No. 71632/00, RNI Delhi, India. This section of the web page is open to visitors eighteen years of age and older, who might share this interest but lack formal credentials in the field. We extend a particularly warm welcome to any members of the lay public, who might like to contribute their support and energy to our goals.
 
The society has a special interest in the body-mind development of young people. As a technical example of this organization’s achievements for children, you are welcome to view the short presentation “Poppa”. This presents a series of positive images to be viewed at bedtime which can program restorative paternal dreams. If so, click on the symbol “P”. Sadly, too many young people fail to experience a positive relationship with their biological father. Fortunately, they still may benefit from real life loving experiences with father surrogates either in real life or in electronic fantasy imagery situations
 
What are brain hard drives ?
 
In an analogous fashion to computer viruses, these are verbal messages and externally implanted cognitive/emotional/behavioral codes of a negative nature. This web site capitalizes on the power of ambiguous pictures to stimulate imagery ranging from the positive to the negative. The SIS center has a video illustrating the former entitle a “Poppa”.This was designed to pragram positive paternal dreams at bedtime. The latter are illustrated by imagery suggestive of abandonment, abuse, disease and death.
 
If abused, physically, psychologically or spiritually, the child may incorporate this negative input into the self image. Later in life, a trauma victim may be prone to acting out this implanted code on immature subjects or vulnerable adults.
 
Prevention is the ideal approach, but the world is unfair! Clearly any preventative approaches require socioeconomic, health and education reforms beyond the scope of this web site. Given the large numbers of young people who lack food, shelter and health care it obviously is of less priority for these suffering souls to speak about “Deleting Brain Viruses”. Yet many are fortunate to have their basic life needs met, yet are mentally imprisoned. Some may have the potential for deleting such viral material, even if it is sometimes a very, very difficult restorative task. Are you one of these or are you interested in supporting this modest attempt to provide an internet aide for breaking their mental imprisonment?
 
Vast numbers of children throughout the world are traumatized. Internet visitors interested in how later in life as adults this may lead to citizens who become warlike are invited to plug into an internet search engine “Psychohistory”. In spite of its many advantages, an example is America. To an outsider, it appears that the prison industry is flourishing because too many young people are offered little in the way of preventative and early care before viral implants become firmly bound to memory neurons. In 2005, 7 million people or one of every 32 American adults were behind bars, on probation, or in parole by the end of the year. Many of these suffer from major mental illness. These would be more appropriately cared for in public psychiatric facilities. However, these are not provided the financial support required.
 
Vast sums are spent in foreign countries, as the inner American schools become more dysfunctional with increasing violence and drug use. For many middle school students the drug dealer provides the false role model imagery, having money and power. Alcohol and street drugs are the way that most sufferers numb their mental pain.
 
Can you help in any way?
 
Since you have access to a computer, it appears that you are already blessed with socioeconomic and educational advantages. Moreover, your ability to read English represents an important communication skill. While this language is second only to Spanish in worldwide usage, many cannot read it, or if so only poorly. If you have difficulty in interpreting the words, assuming you are blessed with an intact visual perception system and normal brain function, an apology is deserved.
 
Perhaps you might know a translator who could assist in putting this web page in your own language.. This contribution would be sincerely appreciated. In fact, we would sincerely appreciate all constructive criticisms and positive suggestions. This web page is designed to be user friendly. If you know someone who lacks access to the internet and you believe what follows might be helpful to this individual, feel free to print the material as a gift. All, who care about optimizing freedom of expression through evidence based science, are invited to contribute.
 
The SIS Society appreciates the epidemiologic research suggesting that participation in religious organizations may be statistically associated with improved health. The SIS Society also accepts the healing power of positive spirituality. This may be present in the beauty of Nature, as well as stimulated in human consciousness by the trance inducing dances, rituals and symbols of religions. Although scientists avoid the religious notion of “Evil”, be prepared to view symbolic imagery in dreams and projective responses having this connotation.
 
Please consider participating and helping in any way that you can. Remember “giving is better than receiving.” We live in a shrinking interdependent world. There is a positive value in reaching out to provide a mental beacon for those struggling to overcome roadblocks in their inner world life journey.
                                                    
Orientation:
 
Poetry is a time honored modality of symbolic expression. Yet it does not readily lend itself to evidence based scientific interviewing of another soul’s “Inner person”. For such purposes “A picture is worth a thousand words”. In this internet classroom, a visual stimulation projective technique provides the methodological vehicle for “looking deeper” into the recesses of the brain-mind complex. Some pictures need no written explanation or language translation. A photograph of a starving child, or an injured child, or a child dying of a preventable illness such as AIDS readily cuts through international language barriers.
 
Just as telescopes enable an observer to search outer space; this web site uses state of the art electronic based projective procedures for visualizing and reconditioning inner space. The observation technique uses ambiguous “abstract art” and “Inkblots” to evoke imagery. What is revealed can reflect directly, or in symbolically disguised form, deep seated material, which otherwise might be blocked from expression. Traditional educational settings ordinarily bypass this “Real” but intangible inner world. Teachers in most countries around the world are censored either directly or indirectly by administrators, who wish for political reasons, to minimize the high prevalence of preventable stress related mental disorders in children.
 
Warning!
 
This classroom in cyberspace presents material of an adult nature. It is not recommended for anyone less than eighteen without strict parental supervision. This projective technique can access the brain’s source of daytime fantasies and nighttime dreams. Consequently the imagined scenes may reflect real, but socially unacceptable material. Although sexual/aggressive imagery may be imagined to be present, the ambiguous pictures to be viewed definitely were not designed to be pornographic.
 
 Like dream symbolism, the evoked stream of inner world imagery may sometimes seem incoherent and illogical. Learning to interpret the “logical” meaning of confusing symbolic projective imagery is comparable to learning a foreign language. Yet most people have an ability to interpret symbolic material. With regard to dreams, most are able to see through symbolic material of others, much more accurately than their own. In any case, because of the potential stress of such activity, this web page should by avoided by any web visitor suffering from mental disorder. Anyone tormented by thoughts to harm themselves or others are advised to seek immediate mental health emergency care in their local area.
 
Are you ready to view some SIS stimuli?
 
Visitors to this classroom are invited to participate in a free, fun and interesting visual puzzle. Individuals interested in participating will be given the opportunity to respond to ambiguous pictures. These may depict in various degrees what is present or imagined to exist in the inner world of personal perceptions, thoughts and emotional feelings.
 
In sharing what is experienced, an honest viewer may reveal their deeper aspects of consciousness. These may provide a window for inspecting otherwise symbolically hidden mental material. Moreover it enables the participant to learn by peering into the minds of other viewers, who have previously volunteered their visions. Sometimes this will related to the imagery experienced in fantasies and dreams.
 
The response data bank includes a range of responses depending upon the evaluation criteria the participant wishes to select. Examples of various assessment scales sometime applied are as follows: from the immature to the mature, from the normal to the abnormal, from the happy or humorous to the sad, from contentment to anger, from the relaxed to the anxious, from understanding to confusion, from the reality based to the fantastic, from the honest to the deceptive, from the trusting to the suspicious or paranoid etc.
 
Perhaps you have already developed mental skills for judging mental content in the mind of others. If so, try and realize that some participants may have only relatively immature brains. Their neural memory circuits will still seem to be flooded with irrational viruses distorting their perceptions. Yet their life experiences and authority figures will likely be different from yours. Therefore their response styles should provide you perspective, for further reconfiguring the neuron foundation energizing your own personal identity.
 
By contrast, other internet participants may have already achieved more advanced levels of biological and psychosocial maturity. Peering into their brain-mind symbolic connections could provide you more effective mental techniques for introspection and judging others. This internet exercise could also enhance your ability to empathetically, as the poem requested: “Walk with them in thoughtful silence”.
 
It requires a conscious decision to incorporate into your own thinking, the complex insights stimulated by this educational internet site. Just as “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, building a powerful brain requires considerable time and effort. It may be compared to the challenge of learning to be competent in a demanding sport or to be fluent in a foreign language.
 
Please report what each brings to mind and any emotional feelings associated with the imagery.

Remember to include what memories, dreams, and emotions each brought to mind. Note all recollections with as much detail as you wish. Afterwards, please select your favorite and your least favorite image and state your reasons for the selection.
 
Finally tell us whether or not you want these responses presented on the internet. If so, you will be given an opportunity to view the responses of others. Include your e-mail address if you wish to discuss your viewing experience with other participants. Please realize that because of the large number, only a representative sample of responses will be made available
 
Learning to live with ambiguity:
 
Look forward to exploring the inner world of human consciousness. If you already are puzzled or have difficulty understanding the written material, you are not alone. Most people do, even those familiar with the scientific literature in the field. It may take considerable study to comprehend the highly interesting, yet mysterious viewing process.
 In regard to its significant complexity, this internet classroom curriculum begins with the physics of light from the outer world, and then moves to the optics of vision, then to the retina’s transmission of the sensory stimulation via the optic nerves to the visual receptive areas of the brain and then on to the higher brain circuitry. There are many internet sites that provide this basic background information that may be studied by inserting “Optics of vision” in a search engine.
At the final stage of awareness the scientific knowledge becomes murky. No neuroscientist currently knows how the brain-mind-spirit complex translates this sensory input into color-form patterns having cognitive/emotional connotations. This interpretative phase touches on the frontier of knowledge bordering on the ambiguous term “Spiritual”.
 
Yet a web page visitor does not have to understand this mysterious process in order to have an interesting and worthwhile voyage into inner space! If you consider enrolling in this internet course, an important point to consider is the following: Remember that most people have some innate ability to appreciate the meaning of symbolism, in poetry, art or dreams. The same applies to interpreting the symbolic meaning of SIS stimuli, namely fantasies, day time flashbacks, visions, hallucinations etc.
 
In contrast, everyone’s brain has psychologically defensive neurophysiologic restrictive processes to inhibit the emotional charge of threatening scenes from disrupting sleep. However, when these fail “Nightmares” break through. While it can be immensely helpful to try to understand your own dreams, as indicated most individuals are restricted in interpreting their own. Even an untrained viewer may often be more insightful in interpreting someone else’s dreams, than the dreamer is able. Moreover, if the dream symbolism is reviewed in a Blog internet setting, the group may further enrich the interpretative process of ambiguous input.
 
Nightmare residual in daytime:           
 
Perhaps you wonder why there is such an emphasis on dreams. After all, wasn’t this web page supposed to be about ambiguous pictures? A partial explanation follows: during a severely stressful event associated the body’s alarm reactions release adrenaline. This causes the traumatic imagery to be recorded vividly in memory neurons, especially in an area of the brain called the hippocampus. The first night afterwards these vivid memories appear as “Nightmares”, depicting the real outer life experience. Gradually over time the brain’s natural healing mechanisms recondition the anxiety laden imagery. This takes place in a homeostatic function as the sleep relaxation chemically begins to unbind the neurochemical linkage to the traumatic memory neurons.
 
Prior to the enzymatic washing out of this binding, scene specific symbolism may intrude in dreams or in daytime consciousness in “Flashbacks”. Years later, the long forgotten anxiety laden traumatic emotions may be activated by external stimulating events .For example, a soldier traumatized by explosions may experience a full blown attack of panic in a thunder storm. During this dormant phase, in clinical diagnostic/treatment situations the memories may only be recalled during hypnotic or barbiturate states of deep relaxation. Under these memory releasing conditions, residual evidence of the trauma may still spill over as symbolic imagery projected onto ambiguous pictures.
 
Time is a critical factor in this brain-mind process. Severely stressful experiences take a while to solidify or gel in the brain’s memory storage neurons. Reactivation of this neural network may subsequently be triggered by symbolically associated life events. Some research suggests that memory gelling may be blocked by the administration of medications such as propanolol. Psychopharmacological investigation in this area may lead to more effective therapies.
 
These memory based brain-mind alterations also occur for low level stressful experiences that never require clinical attention. Sometimes such old unresolved stress related imagery chronically circulates in neurochemical bound neural networks underneath conscious awareness giving rise to occasional symptoms. Most traumatized people do not have the opportunity for treatment. Yet it can be helpful years later to rethink and clarify confused thoughts occurring during the stressful period.

Web site visitors who might be interested in viewing a Russian made film made by Arkadi Kordon. The film portrays a poet suffering from alcoholism. In the plot, his abstinence was repeatedly enhanced by viewing the SIS stimulated symbolism. This was viewed at moments during vulnerable phases, when he was tormented by internal impulses to relapse. It is available in English and Russian.

Blind Seeing
 
Sometimes, a viewer with functioning optic mechanisms for transmitting the color-form properties of the visual stimulation, is blind to the embedded structure. This occurs when the responder sees nothing or defensively substitutes another image. Perhaps this might be best illustrated with a clinical example involving chest pain. Cardiologists frequently consult on healthy a patient, who complains of somatic symptoms resembling a “Heart attack”.
 
Frequently, the onset of symptoms followed the sudden death of a friend, who died of a sudden myocardial infarction. In such sympathetic situations, fears of dying cause the survivor to focus anxiety on cardiovascular function. Such a medical patient might typically fail to detect SIS red valentine like anatomical structure suggestive of the heart. This process occurs outside conscious awareness. This visual repression usually is associated with the brain’s substitution of a low anxiety similar appearing image, such as a “Strawberry”.
 
Internet Communication Exercises
                
This web page provides an opportunity to peer beyond the shell of social facades, into inner subjective reality. It presents internet exercises for reconfiguring viral implants in the brain’s hard drive. A motivated participant can learn and practice communication skills with other internet viewers, family members and real life friends. If you elect to share mutual drawings of what you imagine to be present in abstract art having disguised content, you can even avoid the limitations of language.
 
For example, if someone is experiencing problems in a conflictual love relationship, the communication exercises might be helpful. Such a person could request his partner to assist in the internet program. In viewing, interpreting the disguised meaning inherent in certain ambiguous pictures, a man may be relatively blind. By contrast, his lover may easily see through and be able to point our viral inhibitions in his defensive “Shell”. Removing blind spots and restructuring the brain’s hard drive may seem more discomforting at times than a dental root canal. Yet this extraction may be less painful than losing a close relationship.
 
In addition, the educational imaging exercises may facilitate identifying and reconditioning stressful memories recalled by the visualization exercise. Most people in life are subject to a variety of common stressful events. While these may seem disproportionally significant at the time, usually these are resolved. As indicated, some are persistent and linger on ,making their presence known in various vague discomforts.
 
The exercises available are designed for practicing communication skills. Prior to the internet, with the advent of writing and mail, strangers in various countries learned to become friends or “pen pals”. Similarly the visual program to be outlined can serve as a vehicle, securing friendships worldwide. When common issues are addressed, it also can lead to problem solving on subjects of mutual concern. Moreover, the projective exercises may foster maturation of an individual’s own sense of personal identity.
 
Psychological Identity within the animal-like Body Image 
 
Exercise 1.  
                   
Human identity exists within the body image. When people are asked to locate themselves within the special realm of the human body, most tend identify their location as just behind their foreheads. Many Hindu people in India and elsewhere mark their forehead as shown in the following photograph.
 
You now are invited to focus your attention on this area in your own body. HELLO IN THERE! It seems that you are somehow looking out at this web page trying to make sense of this wordy and complex web page. Perhaps it would clarify your thinking if you participated in a voluntary “Body Image Visualization Exercise”. If you elect to do so, this may be completed in the privacy of your bedroom by following these instructions:
 
Shut your eyes, take deep a few breaths and relax. Now imagine that you are walking down a sunny private garden path with beautiful flowers. Leave all cares behind in the outer world. Envision coming to a calm reflection pond with magical healing waters. Feel warm, cozy, safe and oh…. so relaxed! 
         
After a few moments of enjoyment, you will feel magically drawn to the edge. Since this is entirely a private room in your imagination, respond to an impulse to completely undress. Look at your naked body’s reflection from several viewpoints. Next visualize, the scene quickly changing and you are notice a sign “Pool Instructions”. You are amazed to read that you if you immerse in the pool, your body will be magically transformed in any way you desire. You then make your personal wish and enter the warm magic water. You feel wonderful as you momentarily fulfill your body image fantasy .Now move to the edge of the reflection pool and look at yourself. If you care to, you may draw a picture of it to remind you later of your “Idealized body image”. 
 
Now gradually end the pool fantasy. Your next assignment involves assembling, as accurately as you can, your “Real body image”. You can obtain recent photographs of body from various angles. Supplement these in total privacy with views from mirror reflections. Now compare this assembled mental picture with the idealized one. The closer these two images, the more content you will be with your appearance.
 
In this imaging exercise many people find discrepancies which make them uncomfortable. Unfortunately fashion agencies and cultural influences largely dictate what is considered to represent an ideal male or female appearance. In many instances these messages are quite inconsistent with the normal distribution in appearance of healthy bodies. These represent viral implants that need to be deleted. Some people have implants about their sexuality because a dominating parent wanted a child of the opposite gender. Such children are sometimes dressed in cloths of the opposite sex because of parental attitudes .It is important but not easy to begin deleting biases which are inconsistent with your biologic heritage.
              
Lastly recall the animal like features of your external anatomy in the imaginary reflection pool. In your mind’s eye, you visualized the body of a young Homo sapiens. Now study textbook pictures of the higher apes, or visit a zoo for comparison with your body. In comparing the two physical structures, your mind will be strongly influenced by information planted by your authority figures concerning theories of evolution. Trying to distinguish the implanted biases concerning scientific theories of evolution versus “Intelligent Design” can be challenging. No doubt this would be especially problematic if you are a student in a dogmatic fundamental religious school.
 
When you similarly inspect what appears to resemble “Human bodies” or “People” in the ambiguous pictures please keep in mind the following. What you “SEE” will sometimes reflect more your inner mind, than the external visual stimulus.
 
There is an old joke which illustrates this as follows: A sexually preoccupied person is confronted by a Rorschach inkblot interpreter for projecting repeated scenes of sex. In denying the interpretation, the individual blames the professional by saying “Nope Doc! It’s not in my mind ! You drew the dirty pictures!”
 
Exercise 2.
 
Below you will find a photograph of a beautiful bird showing three enlargements of it’s eye.
 
 
 
 
Focus your attention of the image in the bird’s eye. Imagine that this creature is looking at you beyond your exterior “Shell“ and can magically sense any heart felt suffering you might feel either now, or previously. Can you visualize your outer reflection in its eye? What do you believe that it might be understanding of your inner self? You are strongly advised to only share this with a person whom you trust.
 
Afterwards, perhaps it might interest you to learn that many internet visitors perceive this bird with human like characteristics. Some actually fantasize sharing suffering with it and find relief. Moreover when they see birds in Nature, it reminds them of their positive experience.
 
Please take a few moments to share how your experience in the following checklist:
 

It looks to be warm and friendly 
It seems to very wise like a wizard 
It seems genuinely sensitive and empathetic to my inner discomfort
When I share my problems it makes me feel relieved and hopeful
It looks scary to me
It looks comforting to me 
Looking at my image it its eye makes me feel sad 
Such birds remind me of death and terrify me
I don’t like my reflection in its eye and it angers me
Next time a I see a bird like this one in Nature I will be happy

Many Proffesional Therapist May Wish Professional Help

While the projective exercises to be offered at this web site may be helpful for reconditioning low level stressful experiences, they are not a substitute for diagnostic/treatment procedures. These are required for the severely traumatized and/or mentally ill. These require direct consultation with licensed clinicians in a web visitor’s own locality.

If ,after the viewing exercise, material emerges which suggests a need for professional consultation, you may communicate in English or Hindi with Prof. B. L. Dubey, or his wife Padma Dwivedi or Dr.Amool R.Singh at (sisdubey@yahoo.com or sisamool@yahoo.com) and many professional therapist. These web hosts also have available for worldwide internet referral, on a fee for service basis, experts trained in SIS diagnostic/treatment procedures. In addition, training services are available for Yoga and body-mind exercising techniques. Web instructors are also available regarding longevity enhancing Indian herbs and diets capable of enhancing sexual energy, mood and memory. If you have a computer system with a camera, you can use Skype or a related internet service to have a visual as well as auditory consultation. Dr Dubey also has access to English speaking cost effective licensed mental health resources in India for treating chemical dependency and mental disorders.

No attempt will be made to identify past stressful events stemming from alleged or real episodes of sexual abuse. Even experienced psychotherapists can experience pitfalls in this complex area, as evidenced by the extensive clinical and legal literature on so-called “False memories. Similarly this service is not set up to identify internet subjects who might be experiencing irrational impulses to hurt themselves or others. Such persons require immediate emergency professional clinical local care.

Nonprofessional Participation Encouraged

An ongoing goal of the SIS nonprofit organization is to gradually make revisions based upon input from nonprofessional viewers. An established model for this is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Their program was originally established after the failure of professional clinicians to provide effective relapse preventative care available on a 24 hour basis 7 days a week. Members embrace spirituality through the notion of a “Higher Power”. AA has a support program with no economic barriers or formal ties to any restricting religious/political authorities.

Their philosophy is to use “Sponsors” or mentors who role model sobriety for new members. In giving of themselves, in turn, they receive. What they get back psychologically is the benefit of incorporating additional inner controls for resisting recurrent impulses to drink. Similarly, participants in these web page exercises should experience support in deleting brain viruses and in the control of negative impulses.

It is hoped that some viewers who have access to tape and video recorders will record home interviews. These might involve videos of subjects viewing ambiguous pictures presented here. Imagery could be shared in various settings, including other internet sites such as “Blogs” and “You Tube”.

By submitting your responses, comments and suggestions for revising this web page, you will be recording your own thoughts for posterity to this interactive internet data bank. What you will be missing by not consulting with a dogmatic authority figure is the magic power of the “Placebo effect” in healing. Of course, for more severe problems clinical consultation is indicated.                                                                                          

Illustrative Theoretical Cases

1. Communication blocks in a love relationship:

A common example seen in couple counseling involves an individual who is partially blind to his own problems. All communication difficulties may be falsely attributed to the partner. Viewing 31A with human couple content, such as shown below, can result in the same undermining in value of the imagined scene.

It can be insightful for such an introspectively dumb person to learn that the negativity projected is coming from within. No one can change another in a conflict type relationship. Each participant in the conflict needs to address internal issues first, if mature communication is to occur.

2. Imagine giving first aide at an accident:

Many perceive A2 as reflecting people in ordinary activities.

In sharp contrast, imagine that a few days earlier you had assisted at an automobile accident. The victims were family members who had been seriously injured. You heard their screams and gasps for breath. You witnessed their bleeding broken bodies and smelled their body odors. You didn’t know who you should first help but you rendered first aide.

This included saving a child’s life by giving mouth to mouth resuscitation. After you left the accident scene, you were still confused and so emotionally upset that you vomited. You were embarrassed by your reaction and felt irrational guilt for not having saved everyone. You decided never to share your traumatic experience with anyone – not only your partner you loved!

If this had been reality, in all likelihood for several days, traumatic memories and scene specific upsetting images would have intruded on your daytime consciousness. At night, emotionally charged accident scenes would likely have appeared in your dreams. Eventually most of the posttraumatic symptoms probably would be forgotten, unless triggered by the sounds of emergency vehicle sirens.

A few years later, imagine that you became clinically depressed after your love relationship failed. The person complained that you never communicated what was in your mind, or expressed your feelings. She had noticed these communication blocks about the time that you had started waking with “Nightmares”. Since you had never told her, your lover had no idea that your communication problems had been aggravated by an accident in which you had saved a child.I still can hear their screams.

Due to the severity of depressive symptoms at work, imagine that you were advised to seek professional mental health services. Your psychotherapist correctly noted that your depression had followed the loss. In addition, your family history suggested that a genetic based pattern of emotional repression. However, it was not until A2 was shown that a comprehensive posttraumatic treatment plan could be established. Imagine that you responded as follows: I see a family. There is a father and mother with children. There has been a terrible accident. A drunk driver has smashed into their car head on There is blood all over. I can hear their screams and gasps for breath etc.

Comparable stress specific scenes haunt the dreams of emergency workers, traffic police and in combat veterans. The same applies to the “Nightmares” of children in war torn countries. Most cultures choose to look the other way or actively deny the existence such material by claiming: “That is normal for children to have nightmares. They mean nothing!” Many cultures advocate the myth that masculinity and certain professional roles require denying painful emotions.

 Consistent with this, traumatic events in children are ordinarily neglected, especially in inner city dysfunctional schools. Yet a suffering child may, in disguised form project his inner turmoil by creating art forms ,or in symbolic sand tray play with dolls or toy human/animal figurines. A SIS psychotherapy approach supplemented by Sand tray educational video is available illustrating the diagnostic/treatment value of combining these approaches in traumatized children.

Plea for Patience and Tolerance

Perhaps your brain has already been psychologically damaged by negative messages from oppressive figures. Realize that every person has both good and evil inside. Please try to activate the positive decent side of your character. Gain self respect by resisting any impulse to hack into this web page with destructive computer viruses. Also kindly restrain from e-mailing abusive comments to other participants. Consider submitting constructive suggestions for correcting or revising what you may consider erroneous material. When challenged by new information foreign to one’s own belief system, becoming angry is understandable. Being destructive is not!

Interpreting the black and white symbolic patterns posed by a language’s alphabet (i.e. the psychophysiology of reading) enables you to peruse the minds of others whom you have never met. This amazing and scientifically ill understood body-mind activity allows one to transcend time and space. You can acquire insights into the thoughts and emotions of dead individuals whose brains have now turned to dust.                               

Introspection

Inner mental life is complex and mysterious. Peering beyond the external “Shell” into the “Inner reality” can present illusive images and confusing perceptions. Most individuals conceal what is inside by presenting a social façade or persona to the world. This defensive shield may in turn obscure introspective views.

Civilized humans have the capacity for good, yet even for such positive people, primitive impulses giving rise to a dark side or “Shadow” lurking within. Remember that these can be projected onto your image of others. Such mental deception can serve as a rationalization for blaming them and falsely justify aggression.

The visualization exercises in this web site can be a growth exercise to modify negative belief systems. It is challenging to learn to see with your own eyes, in order to independently judge what is true. It requires acquiring perceptual skills early in body-mind development. Everyone can learn how to reappraise irrational and superstitious viral like beliefs programmed into their brain’s hard drive by early life figures.

A child’s nervous system records biased information long before neural maturation permits independent judgment. It requires maturation for a child to stop believing erroneous viral input to one's brain’s hard drive such as: “That if I swallow a watermelon seed, that a watermelon will grow in my stomach”.

Reviewing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

As indicated earlier, it may also be a challenge to weed out, rethink, and emotionally recondition severe traumatic memories. These result from stressful life experiences which result in intense fear, helplessness or horror. Under these conditions the stress specific imagery is recorded in neural memory centers more vividly than other life experiences. These records tend to intrude into daytime mental activities in a recurrent disruptive fashion - often for years.

In the initial posttraumatic period, this imagery tends to appear almost nightly in the form of recurrent “Nightmares”. These involve a recurrence of the original intense disturbing emotions linked to images depicting the trauma. In the daytime, awareness of such material may be triggered by external or internal cues that represent directly, or in symbolic form, the original stress. These can surface as intrusive distressing recollections which have the capacity to be distracting and disrupt concentration. With severe trauma they may be associated with concurrent image specific illusions and/or hallucinations.

In this disrupted body-mind state, some persistent aspects may tend to be more reasonably categorized as “Body” than “Mind”. A victim may experience confusing impulses providing internal pressure to experience stress specific body sensations and/or motor impulses. In such a state the individual may tend to feel or act as if the traumatic event were recurring. There may be hyper vigilance, irritability and an exaggerated startle response. In a more scientifically observable way, attesting to the reality of persistent biological changes, various clinical studies have detected ongoing alteration in body functions. Examples of this are investigations measuring the physiological correlates of nervous system arousal during experimental conditions, in which the victim is asked to view a photograph, or drawing pictures, bringing to mind traumatic imagery.

As a defensive inhibitory maneuver, there is often persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma and the onset of a general numbing to environmental situations. Such an individual may try to avoid conversations about the trauma or specific activities, places or people that arouse recollections. There may be inability to recall important related information and a general deadening of emotions.

Eventually, many of the disturbances tend to fade as the natural pacifying aspect of sleep reconditions the emotional linkage of the recurrent imagery. In the burned out phase, their emotional residual may be felt only occasionally in the day. At night, there may only be rare sleep disturbing dreams containing disguised symbolic representations of the original stressor.     

Conceptual Model

As indicated, following severe stress certain individuals are predisposed to suffer PTSD. A cluster of symptoms develop which are well documented in diagnostic manuals and internet search engines. The SIS system relates to these through the common thread of the traumatic matching SIS stimulus serving as a projective “inkblot” with sufficient structure to mimic the original stressful scene. The SIS-II video/computer monitor version initially presents a series of 62 flowers which are moving in a direction to produce a hypnotic state of altered awareness. The viewer senses being pulled away from the current time/reality setting the body-mind stage for the surfacing of PTSD imagery. The opening phase includes audio instructions indicating how to report responses on an answer sheet. These are stated in a hypnotic fashion with suggestions to “Relax” further augmenting the trance like projective experience. This methodology was designed specifically to replicate the solitary aspect of dreaming and to circumvent day time brain inhibition. These viewing conditions activate PTSD imagery for reconditioning with healing nature scenes. It also permits the individual to clarify confused and distorted thinking that always occurs during the stressful period.  

It is important in the use of this projective treatment approach to emphasize the critical importance of the artificially created the time-space dimensions. Instantaneously after viewing a stress releasing SIS “inkblot” one of the original flowers appears for a few seconds. During this period, the “afterglow” of PTSD imagery lingers in consciousness. Concurrently the specific stress bonded neurons which originally recorded traumatic memories in the brain’s memory circuitry such as the hippocampal region are activated recapitulating the neurophysiological state of the original stressor. The presence of detoxifying neurotransmission chemicals, triggered by floral visual cortical stimulation may then begin to wash out of the stress linked neurochemical binding to the PTSD memory neurons.

At the end of the viewing procedure and to further reinforce the desensitization process the SIS presentation is concluded with the calming nature scenes accompanied by the comforting sound of Pachelbel’s “Canon in D”.

Subsequently to further facilitate the PTSD- chemical unbinding, the procedure may be repeated until PTSD symptoms gradually subside. Moreover, for greater therapeutic augmentation custom made viewing systems for a particular individual may be designed. These can solely employ the SIS “inkblot” which most effectively triggered the release of that particular individual’s PTSD imagery.

This recapitulates the natural healing process of recurrent PTSD dream imagery. In the untreated state, repeated experience of PTSD dream imagery under gradually lowering levels of neurophysiologic arousal naturally has restorative effects. Eventually in recovery, the original stressful scenes may be replaced by less threatening dream symbols.

For example, on victim of PTSD initially had vivid “Nightmares” of an actual explosion in which serious injuries were sustained. Eventually with SIS treatment this imagery was replaced by occasional low anxiety dreams of the microwave malfunctioning. For maximal therapeutic efficacy, the SIS approach is best complimented with brief cognitive therapy correcting stress engendered irrational thinking

While suggestive of the diagnostic/treatment value of the SIS technology, such individual clinical case histories need to be more rigorously examined in cross over controlled statistical based trials. Until the latter become available no real legitimate claims may be made about the potential therapeutic efficacy of SIS technology.                       

Biases of This Web Site

The views here represent biases of the web designers. Implied is the notion that examining earlier belief systems and stressful memories, using a biologically maturing brain empowers cognitive and emotional maturity. Tragically enough, many unfortunate souls lack the basic brain power for achieving this idealistic sounding goal. A restricted dependent role may be their only option in life. Others may not be able to achieve an independent life style for lack of education, poor socioeconomic conditions or for living in an oppressive culture. It may be safer to conceal what ever level of independent thinking that they are able to achieve, while overtly subscribing to repressive rules.

Humans only represent a small percentage of the creatures living on the planet earth. While this internet site focuses on human to human imagery, it recognizes the potential of behavioral studies with animals. Web visitors with pets may be familiar with communication studies suggesting that certain higher forms of life have consciousness and emotional feelings. Many higher forms can recognize and respond to a large number of words and non verbal cues. Sometimes in hospital settings the introduction of an animal may bypass communication blocks experienced by even the most withdrawn patients.

Please respect those who have a reverence for animals and reflect this in their projective responses. Humans need to learn how to communicate and appreciate living creatures more for their “spirituality”, than their bodies as food. Individuals, who abuse animals in real life, reflect this in their SIS imagery projected onto disguised animal content in ambiguous pictures. Such people are prone to violence and need help.

Visions, Dreams & Spirituality

Many modern scientists are uncomfortable with the vagueness of the term “Spiritual”. To them, nothing exists in reality except those things that can be proven by combining intelligent logic with observation methods of scientific technology. They are reminiscent of the character “Spock“, in the television series “Star Wars“. While Spock’s intellectual presence in the plot was valued, often his blindness to emotional life made for vulnerability.

This web page is open to the illogical and unscientific notion that there is more to the universe than can be proven by the standard quantifiable methods of science available to the human brain. It is hoped that SIS technology may provide an approach which more effectively bridges the methodological gap between science, philosophy and religion.

Historically, religious leaders have long considered visions and dreams to represent symbolic communications from the deceased and/or “God”. Perhaps the SIS projective systems for accessing inner space may tap into the same spiritual symbolic stream.                          

Identity Theft

A child or adolescent who never had positive parental figures may only develop a vague personal identity. Later in life this person is easily taken in by authorities who maliciously wish to use their robot like energies. The invasive power programming viral instructions into a vulnerable brain can easily undermine independent thought. This can be done subtly, so that the victim fails to realize that a major identity theft is occurring. Moreover, in the absence of insight the robbery may be associated with apparent positive feelings and the power derived from the new identity facade.

The transformation may feel positive emotionally, since the robbed person does not have to face up to the existential anxiety always associated with independent mature thought. There also may be the emotional support of group participation reducing isolation and loneliness, so often experienced by the socially inept. In addition, there may be the acquisition of new powers associated with those possessing the group’s identity. Of course such apparent benefits may only be illusionary, as demands are made by the external forces exerting mind control.

Adolescents developing self awareness needs to defend his/her brain from those who would peal layers off their self image and attempt to paste to substitute fraudulent ones. False images may be recognized in that they often have similar characteristics. The viral imagery projected by an external authority may depict a loving supportive parental figure, either male of female. Since most authority figures are men, it usually is the former.

Many can be a tempted to regress in their fantasized relationship with powerful figures. There is almost a universal unconscious wish in all people to be cared for as in childhood. This wish can surface at moments of stress. For an immature individual, who may have never experienced proper nurturing in childhood; this temptation represents an ongoing state of vulnerability, - especially if drugs and/or alcohol are available to anesthetize painful thoughts and emotions. The imagery depicted in modern television,films and electronic games tends to be more and more related to escapist sexual/aggressive fantasy than the real world.

Clues for Recognizing “Wizard of Oz” False Images

There are many ways to recognize viral input containing omnipotent imagery. The most fundamental way for authority figures to deceive their basic animal nature and human vulnerability is to mask their own biological existence. They can do this by wearing clothing symbolizing superstition and power. Their various costumes and power symbols may communicate nonverbal messages implied by the authoritarian actor playing the nurturing parental role. Image generating visual stimuli may be presented in public places and modern media supporting subliminal and overt sexual symbolism.

The setting can also be used to manipulate the naïve. Powerful figures may chose to address their followers from a high place overlooking a crowd. People in such situations may be lectured for hours until their fatigue overcomes their judgment. They may be subjected to mind controlling visual techniques. A skilled orator can use dominating eye control to infiltrate hypnotic like suggestions.

There may be the use of other symbols of power. The political actor might create imagery surrounded by the trappings of modern warfare. Such an individual might chose to supplement the parental supportive image with cues suggestive of threat. Here the message may be “If you do not obey, you will be punished”. Religious leaders may do the same by threatening punishment in “Hell”.

The potential candidate submitting to mind control usually has to accept that the goals of the leader are in the best interest of patriotic causes. For religious organizations it may be contended that it is “God’s will”. The novice may be asked to perform certain behaviors which unmask their sense of biologic identity. A basic one involves instructions to change their appearance. They may be asked to cut off all their hair, grow beards, or become tattooed with a group symbol. They may have to adhere to rigid rules for diet and daily physical routines. They may be requested to starve for periods of time. In celibate religious orders the prescribed rules may involve denying all erotic feelings and sexual expression.

The organization may also demand wearing depersonalizing group clothing and/of uniforms. They may be asked to give up physical objects of a personal nature that serve to remind them of their past life. They may even have to give up their name and accept a new one assigned by the group. In the indoctrination phase they may have to avoid conversations with family, friends and other novices. Eventually their loyalty may be tested by having to perform acts which would be unacceptable to them previously. For example, they may show acquiescence to a higher member in the group by washing the dominant person’s feet. In some inner city areas to join a street gang, the leaders may demand that the new comers be initiated by committing criminal acts.

Curiosity, Humility & Reverence

Scientists have acquired much information which might be helpful as a travel guide. Yet there are present day limits to basic knowledge. Beyond this there are many uncharted areas. This void highlights the need for adopting humility and reverence in this fantasy journey into the inner world. Present scientific terminology is totally inadequate, as are the concepts and methods of investigation. Probing the depths of consciousness is analogous to planning a trip into outer space, by means of an imaginary vehicle, to an ill defined destination.

Proposed Travel Schedule into Inner Psychic Space    

Here the fantasy “travel schedule” into inner space involves initially inspecting pictures with various degrees of color-form connotation. Next the “traveler” will be first invited to share personal impressions and feelings in regard to the imagined scenes for “The most favorite” and “The least favorite” picture. Then an opportunity will be presented to review the subjective experiences of other internet viewers, who have already volunteered their trip experiences.         

The next step is strictly elective. It should be taken cautiously with a great deal of reservation, if at all. Participants who so elect to do so will then be able to communicate directly with those responders who wish to. Perhaps communicating with them directly could further assist you in comparing your perceptions, and feelings with theirs. After multiple contacts and internet discussions, motivated participants should gain a degree of insight concerning what brain records distinguish them from others. This could provide assistance for introspecting and judging what mental content warrants keeping, as opposed to deleting.

This exercise can assist in modifying mental characteristics in many ways. Each person’s brain is genetically unique, as are his life experiences. Consequently one’s inner world will necessarily differ from those previously programmed into immature neural memory centers, without voluntary screening. Most children have these external information implants from family, other early life associates and their region’s culture.

These days the international media as well as electronic games can also impact the brain’s memory storage. Although the neurochemistry is not as yet understood, games of violence implant particularly toxic viral distortions. For some players this has a numbing effect reducing their capacity to empathize in real world situations.

Unfortunately in the real one, many deranged people get arousal and pleasure from sadistic behavior. Such malignant and confusing linking of sexual-aggressive impulses material can be reflected in the characteristics ascribed to ambiguous human content. Yet a sociopath can deceive even professionals by falsely reporting positive imagery. This extreme example is included as a warning. Never agree to visit in person anyone that you have met in this exercise. If money becomes an issue, beware. The current worldwide economic downturn may relate to white collar sociopath criminals can masquerading as honest bankers, hedge fund operators etc.

Invite Web Visitors You Know & Trust

For more personalized childhood comparisons purposes, another step in might further facilitate growth. As a suggestion when practical, consider inviting as possible participants others you know in real life. These might be family members and others, who you suspect may have colored your early beliefs. Perhaps you might inform them that their participation in this internet exercise might be helpful. If available, this information then might enable you to compare, not just with strangers, but also with those who configured your developing brain. Remember if you are under eighteen, it is mandatory that you obtain permission from them. 

Learning to identify your personal thoughts and emotions is essential for developing personal identity, autonomy, and psychological maturity. Without such inner psyche foundation, many such individuals only masquerade as robot like characters. Each represents the shadow of a human being, housed in the shell of an apparently mature body, but missing solid identity. As indicated such people are particularly vulnerable to having their inner self stolen by outside forces. 

It is important to recognize that not everyone needs an extensive social network, or adheres to authority figures’ propaganda in order to have a positive life. Some of the world’s most brilliant people have lead isolated lives. totally committed to their chosen field of expertise. The ability to enjoy solitude for such gifted people can serve to optimize their potential.

A fundamental step towards maturity involves identifying your own body as a vulnerable personal physical space. You reside in this ever changing vessel on the ocean of life. Realize that it will go through a series of genetically programmed transformations that is largely beyond your control. Learn how to best take care of it. Optimal mental life depends upon good overall physical fitness and a healthy toxin- free brain.  

Keep in mind that your body is the only one you will ever have. Try to be realistic in your life plans. For example, you may be outstanding in a particular sport such as basketball. However, if you are not unusually tall, forget fantasies about a professional career. 

 Remember too that it will slow with age. Even with organ transplant surgery, some day it will stop functioning. Likely this will be in the distant future, but its demise is inevitable. Afterwards your survivors may either burn it and scatter the ashes, or place it in a coffin to rot away in the ground. If you are an optimist, you may expect that the earth’s future involves restoration of the atmosphere, resolving global issues involving sanitation, infectious disease, population control and so on. If you take care of your health, you may expect to expand your horizons.  

The Inevitability of Death                                                 

Below is the last SIS stimulus that you will be given the opportunity to view. Please record your impressions and feelings as you did on the first five “inkblots”

Unforeseen events of a negative nature may occur. Modern international news in the media provides a sobering summary of potential lethal pitfalls. Many aggressors are energized by primitive impulses. Civilization has historically been fragmented by wars. As a civilian you may think that you own your body, this may not always apply. In wartime, the government may seize control, regardless of your political views.

Maybe the biological vessel that supports your psychological and spiritual existence will be vaporized in a nuclear blast, infected with lethal germs or poisoned from chemicals of modern warfare. Whatever its fate, its remains will likely ultimately provide nourishment to simpler life forms. Eventually these too will die. Then the trillions of drifting inanimate atoms which previously gave you life will be set free to once again wander about the universe. Where will you be?

Thinking about the inevitable can be uncomfortable, yet sobering. Most individuals in their daily activities choose to avoid such unpleasant thoughts. People frequently delude themselves though mental denial mechanisms that make them feel invincible. Many get mental highs from neurochemicals released in the brain by flirting with dangerous adventuresome activities.

Yet mental invincibility does not equate to physical invincibility, so play it safe. Death is a one way trip that some day everyone takes. Why not postpone it, so you can have ample opportunity to achieve the best the life style possible for your particular cultural and socioeconomic situation? While it helps to have health, money, status and power, keep in mind that these advantages do not always bring happiness.

 When your brain stops functioning, your spirit will be set free or be forever extinguished. Your preprogrammed religious beliefs will determine what you imagine will happen. No presently living sane person has ever crossed the border into death long enough to return, and explain what it was really like. Yet in your mind, probably you already may have some preconceived notions. These in all likelihood were derived from your past exposure to your culture’s particular religious authorities.

Throughout history religious ceremonies and doctrine have provided spiritually oriented souls both socially useful behavior guidelines, and emotional support of group identification. Ancient temples provided the public a place to explore with others the spiritual and healing significance of dreams.

With the advent of Christianity, there continued for a while emphasis on the spiritual messages implicit in dreams and “Visions” as reflected in certain Biblical passages. However, as some historians of religion have observed eventually most early Christian church leaders learned to bypass in their teaching this healing spiritual stream. Now this healing and restorative inner energy is largely ignored. Powerful administrative forces directing mind control indoctrination avoid preaching about the immense value individual dream symbolism since it undermines their authoritarian control.

Yet healing images of Jesus can appear in dreams as well as inkblot imagery. In regard to the latter, for devoted Christians images of their Savior can appear in projective consciousness to defensively block out socially unacceptable sexual/aggressive impulses. Of course, atheist scientists rightly point out that all the visual representations of Christ are based upon the fantasies of artists. (This subject is easily accessed at other web sites.)

Another important religion is Hindu. This involves the use of other pictorial and structural representations having great spiritual significance and value to believers. India has a rich religious heritage with less cultural restriction on exploring imagery for healing and personal growth, Moreover, Indian Yoga teachers developed a practical set of beliefs and practices for extending conscious control over otherwise uncontrollable mind-body-spirit processes. It enables trained practitioners as well as the masses to affect positive effects in many areas.

There are many other examples of the benefits from participation in organized religion. Yet religion has often provided rationalizations for persecuting nonbelievers, torture, atrocities and war. Throughout history there have existed many intellectual impostors with erroneous answers concerning all ambiguous body-mind-spirit issues. Playing a “Know it all role” enables them to take over control of their mesmerized followers. Everyone tends to be vulnerable to such false mentors. This is one reason that mind control techniques such as involved in individual and group hypnosis are so powerful.

Subjects Overlooked in Traditional Education

Publishers of textbooks experience economic and political pressure from a wide variety of power sources. In advertising the same tendency to hide reality with a smoke screen of falsehoods and deception sometimes applies. For example, tobacco company executives profit motivation override their ethics. Through the media they implant into the brains of vulnerable young people the viral message that smoking is “Cool and sexy”. All people need to learn how to protect their brains from such propaganda and how to delete such false messages. Eventually they may want to delete such a virus but the nicotine induced neurochemical changes in the brain’s pleasure centers may override voluntary abstinence. 

When it comes to conquest, violence, human atrocities and war, most countries have historians who are willing to create sanitized versions of history. For example, perceptually blind to abundant historical data many prominent international religious leaders still deny the Holocaust. An educational video of a SIS activated interview of a Jewish survivor who in her sixteen year was in Auschwitz is available.

Cultural biases also can slant and distort what is taught. These viral contaminating forces show up in certain educational areas more than others. Examples involve curriculum content related to the origin of life, the nature of racial differences, economics, sex roles, dress codes, health, and drug/alcohol use and so on.

What was intentionally omitted from early education also may be important to determine. In this web site, participants will learn about many ill defined mysterious processes that many consider socially unacceptable to discuss. One reason that these are not covered in traditional formal education concerns their ambiguous nature. This stymies traditional numerical scientific quantification for classroom presentation. Some critics contend that the ill defined subjective content more closely approximates philosophical and religious domains.

A more basic reason for actively avoiding exploring potentially emotionally charged material in a classroom setting pertains to the teacher’s need to establish discipline. In America and elsewhere, due to the infective nature of violent viral input from the media, there is a generalized fear of violence in schools. “Copy cat” incidents are now becoming too frequent an occurrence.

Another reason stems from the education gap between middle class and higher children and the poor. There are fundamental familial, cultural, and socioeconomic problems. Millions of the poor and minority kids come from dysfunctional homes. Their mother’s intrauterine exposure to toxic substances can destroy brain cells, later putting a child at a great learning disadvantage. Many grow up in situations which lack appropriate role models, especially for fatherless males. Abandonment and victimization from violence tends to be the norm.

 In order to teach writing and math teachers are challenged to push from the troubled minds of such students any lurking dream residue. Yet, especially in the mornings, many students will be distracted by the residual emotions from the previous nights “Nightmares”. In hormonally charged adolescents these are often sexually colored and violent. It is hypocritical to demand that such suffering young people concentrate only on the core subjects.

Few educators are able or competent in giving such troubled dreamers an opportunity to verbally express such emotionally charged memories. Yet these can be brought to the surface of day time consciousness by open morning group discussion or by viewing semi ambiguous stimuli. However, teachers are not psychotherapists, nor are sexually mixed classrooms the appropriate setting for such discussion. Unless a young person appears to be an immediate danger to themselves or others, they are overlooked in government support mental health clinics which focus on the care of the severely mentally ill.

The same reservations apply in this setting. This web site is not intended for those suffering from severe mental disorder. Moreover is not a suitable media for sharing erotic fantasies or dating. 

Neutralizing Traumatic Imagery with “Spiritual“ Imagery

Traditional psychotherapies for erasing painful life experiences sometimes need to be supplemented by those involving positive spirituality. With the SIS beautiful nature scenes are presented to recondition traumatic imagery released from memory storage. An expansion of this is to encourage a view to enjoy nature in restorative activities after the SIS projective interviewing. 

In a similar fashion, the substitution of religious symbols with positive emotional connotations can also serve to effectively replace the disturbing imagery. In fact, for severely stressed individuals, with fragile identities, their “peace of mind” may depend upon the substitution of positive imagery evoked by religious dogma, ritual and symbols. Of course agnostics argue that such beneficial effects need not relate to historical reality, They contend that any statistically documented benefits stem from the hypnotic healing power of myth based religious symbolism.

Unfortunately Satanic cult leaders use evil ritualistic patterns to temporarily inhibit inner suffering. They do so by evoking behavior which directs aggression outwardly by sadistically inflicting in a pain. They further addict their followers by ending ceremonies with dances and sexual orgies. In these, the pleasure of sexual intercourse is temporarily substituted over the inner pain. Of course, these are only temporary and do not delete the brain virus but rather add new ones.

Reconfiguring Discomfort

1 General Concepts

No one really comprehends the multiple mysteries of inner psychological space. Yet as indicated for centuries many authorities have claimed magical powers. Perhaps some of their antiquated viral preaching may have already been implanted in your brain and provide false comfort as contrasted to the discomfort reconfiguring your brain Questioning viral validity can trigger a sense of loss and even prolonged sadness .It sometimes is more painful than unmediated dental extraction. This may especially apply if it threatens losing rigid thinking family members or friends. It can even tend to undermine one’s preexisting sense of personal identity. However, the alternative of being blind to reality may be worse.

For example, clearly defending one’s country in a valid foreign attack is clearly patriotic. By contrast, recall the fate of so many idealistic young solders who historically have acted like robots. Incredible numbers have sacrificed their lives in unjust wars. In World War I it used to be said that they provided “Canon fodder” to fulfill the commands of ill informed grandiose leaders.

This guide for mental adventuring has many potential pitfalls. Traverse this frontier with courage. The trip should foster mental maturity not available to the faint of heart that turn back. Many fall by the intellectual wayside because their minds are irreversibly infected with thought blocking viruses. Some individuals have only a faint image of personal identity. They may be totally unable to function without the implanted social role instructions. The world is full of dictators partly because so many never learned how to think in a mature and independent fashion.

2 Stressfull Sex Role Imagery in a Downturn Economy

The international economy began a serious downturn in 2008. The reasons are complex, but appears it partially relate to the creation of false “Money Symbols” called “Derivatives… etc. etc”. While these deceptions have enriched sociopath economic manipulating the image value of money, they have made it very difficult to access the true value of currencies worldwide. It also has significantly contributed to stresses associated with job loses and the changing sexual roles, especially for men.
An example is America where data from the U.S. Bureau of Statistics is available and relevant. At the beginning 0f 2009, about 1.1 million fewer men are working than the previous year. By comparison 12,000 more women are working. As men become unemployed living sat home their self esteem and sense of masculinity becomes undermined. For many, their focusing on domestic duties, while their wife works outside the home is not consistent with their image of the ideal male role.
The inherent sex differences in brain function give females certain occupational advantages. These include their early educational advancement in reading and writing, where the average girl is one and a half years ahead of the average boy. The opposite is true in quantitative, spatial skills and mathematics.
Now more women than men graduate from college. They tend to enter occupations less susceptible to economic downturn layoffs such as health care, social services and education. Women now equal men in law and economics. The differences are greatest for pharmacists and veterinarians, where now they represent two thirds of the graduates. Lastly, it might be noted that stress issues show up early in life. In school boys get in trouble with higher rates of disciplinary problems, suspensions and expulsions in educational settings. Later in life various forms of criminal behavior emerge. Ninety percent of Americans in the prison system are men. While females have a higher incidence of Major Depression, males, suicide rates are much higher. For example, in the overall age group 20 t0 24 the sex ratio is four to one. In America the differences are even greater in certain minority groups, such as Alaskan Natives1.

The long term implications of these trends need to be considered by futuristic thinkers.

Risk/ Benefits of Deleting Brain Viruses

It is good but uncomfortable to give up false preconceived notions of reality. While the dissolving neural networks make be discomforting, it will free up neurochemical energy for those brain cells responsible for mature independent thought. Yet focusing attention away from the outer world may have drawbacks. It transfers mental energy allotment away from every day responsibilities. There is a critical balance in committing energy between outer world and inner world responsibilities. Each intelligent being needs to prioritize the relationship between these two attention fields.

Research in neuroscience poses the philosophically formidable task of relying on what is inside the observer’s brain in attempting to investigate brain function. How can a living object the size of a grapefruit, study a replica of it to determine how that brain builds a sense of self? Be reminded that such complex issues can sometimes carry much more emotional threat than astronomical research. Insight into the human mind always has the potential of being disconcerting. Independent thinkers historically have often faced social criticism and persecution.

Remember if you have a history of severe psychological problems or only a vague sense of your identity, for your own mental health, for safety reasons you must check out now. For example, a person suffering from Schizophrenic Disorder with delusions of grandeur might decompensate. It could prove highly stressful to learn from a series of internet strangers for example, he is not the “Inspector General” or “Jesus Christ”.

Recall that: “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” Remember your heartfelt sense of sadness that you may have experienced realizing that a soothing childhood myth was false. Goodbye “Santa Clause”. Goodbye “Tooth fairy”. Hello painful reality. “Ouch!” Throughout the world there are millions who choose to minimize such intellectual discomfort with soothing addictive behavior.

As indicated earlier, serious consequences may result from clinging to irrational belief systems. Unquestioning acceptance of cultural myths and superstitions versions can undermine even more brain endowed members of society. Blind belief in dogmatic figures concerning preconceived yet false versions of reality is unwise. It can set the stage for being victimized.

When individuals are confronted with information which challenges preexisting belief systems it is natural to become anxious. Emotions become particularly intense if the challenge undermines a false sense of personal identity. An example is the modern ascending power of women and the resultant intensification of the battle between the sexes and within the sexes regarding sex roles. Some individuals may incorporate new facts with appreciation and only minimal discomfort. Yet these are relatively rare. Independently appraising new information presents a life long challenge for those wishing to expand their minds. The basic mental task involves learning how to discriminate which brain records are worth keeping.

As promised, this travel guide will present you with a technique for peering into and studying the minds of many different people. It can be immensely helpful to consider how your inner thought processes work, as compared to theirs. In viewing their perceptions of ambiguous inkblot like structures, you may be reminded of personal material reflecting your own body sensations, perceptions, images and dreams. You will soon observe that here is much more hidden suffering experienced in consciousness under social facades. Be prepared to experience empathetic emotional anguish. Mental health professionals are often subject to secondary empathetic PTSD. Remember the expression: “No pain no gain!”

It is not easy to identify childhood beliefs imprinted at a stage in life when you lacked ability to consciously edit them. If you are fortunate to have mature loving family members and trustworthy friends, initially try sharing with them. Yet be careful, even with those you trust. It takes a period of projective learning before you can recognize what is socially and/or politically safe to express. Occasionally everyone needs a defensive “Shell” to guard one’s “Inner” self. 

SIS Inspirational Clinical Case History

There are many well documented cases in the medical literature, where intensely motivated people have overcome physical and emotional problems. One clinical case history involving the SIS follows,:

The individual was a patient hospitalized on a neurological ward of a general hospital. SIS consultation was requested to develop innovative treatment strategies to supplement traditional physical therapies.

When shown the SIS this individual was paralyzed from the waist down as a result of a severe spinal cord injury.   What was remarkable was the exceptionally high number of SIS responses depicting movement in the projected imagery. This directly correlated with an extremely high motivation this person had to walk again. Remarkably enough this “ goal was achieved through super human mental motivation. The neurologist had said that this level of recovery was totally impossible”.

There always is hope for a motivated person to overcome body-mind suffering because of the power of

                                   “Mind over Matter”!

Benefits of Fusing Your Psyche Energy with SIS Society - An optional final exercise

Solitude is essential for optimal independent thinking. Moreover it can be emotionally restorative especially in beautiful Nature settings. Yet humans who have a capability to trust others can benefit from transiently fusing their identities with positive energies groups. Although many powerful mythological oriented authority figures will provide false explanations, this is a mysterious process, which no one in the foreseeable future can possibly understand.

If you join the SIS Society and actively participate in mind-spirit fusing with our international members, expect to experience both positive tangible and intangible benefits. To develop over time the necessary neurological circuitry, daily practice mental imaging procedures, preferably for at least thirty minutes in the morning and in the evening. On every 7th day extend these periods of meditation.

As a brief novice exercise, you are invited on an imaginary trip into the inner world of fantasies and dreams. If you wish to travel spiritually, please shut your eyes …begin to breath deeply and slowly…letting tension flow our with each breath…feel your muscles relaxing…as you relax conjure up a mental picture of SIS 22B. ..imagine this to symbolize your physical body’s trillions of atomic particles temporarily exiting…imagine that this symbolism depicts your spirit transiently leaving it to fuse with other SIS members…enjoy the warm feeling of closeness and nonsexual intimacy…let all physical tensions, conscious anxieties and negative feelings flow away…keep in mind that our members are strong and can easily bear your suffering…anticipate their guiding you in a more positive direction….

Web visitors interested in learning more about these statistics may do this by inserting Suicide rates of Alaskan Natives in an internet search engine. There are many theories why Alaskan Native males turn their stressed cultural rage into self directed suicidal aggression. Pertinent are the views of one member of this culture, William L. Iggiaguk Hensley expressed his book entitled Fifty Miles From Tomorrow - A Memoir of Alaska and the Real People published in 2009 by Sarah Crichton Books,

Relevant to the above is the following material from page 213:

As I pondered our history, my initial reaction was rage. There were so many villains in the piece that it was almost impossible to settle on who was to blame. The government had taken our children away and turned them against our language and culture. The missionaries had dammed our dances and silenced our songs and denounced our spirit world as unworthy. The greedy traders had gypped our people and happily siphoned off their hard won earnings as payment for swapping with tobacco and alcohol.

Silently, furiously, during those days at Ivik I tallied up; the list of those who had damaged us so deeply. There were the GIS who made our men feel impotent as they chased our women and the judges who wielded life defining power over people who had no knowledge of the language of the court. There were faceless politicians in Washington who made fish and game rules we had to break in order to feed our families, and the politicians who b erred our elderly from the Pioneer Homes and who had permitted the despicable sign NO DOGS OR NATIVES ALLOWED.

There seemed to be no end to the oppressors who had taken advantage of us as we tried every way that we knew to be good citizens. But finally I settled on what in my mind was the most destructive force of all: The Bureau of Indian Affairs and its repressive school system, which had served as the main weapon against our language, our culture, and our children’s spirits.
