Excerpt From Internal Crossing
The conversation had become quite intense. Jack who was the
skeptic kept up his barrage of denial and asserted that everyone who thought
there was an instance of altered Past events were deceiving themselves. His
take on the Mandela Effect was it was a fiction created by people who wanted
there to be "something new under the sun." As far as he was concerned
the myriad of people reporting alteration of indelible past events all stemmed
from a single "first thought" by an obscure author who posited the
idea as part of the plot of a movie or a second rate Sci-Fi Novel.
Robert3 countered with, "there are tens of
thousands of people who report their experiences. Not all of them have the same
faulty memory of the same thing together. Mostly it is only one or two examples
per person. They don't fabricate their memories then go looking for what they
might be. They notice an anomaly and it strikes them as being so odd they
decide to look it up and see if anyone else agrees. When they find agreement
they are stunned by the variety of experience other people have."
Jack said, "therein lies the problem. They look it up and
find agreement. The agreement reinforces the delusion and they become believers
just like every born-again Christian. Suddenly their eyes are opened and now
they are awake and know the truth. It feels real and very strong."
Jack was also relating the phenomenon of Gumaraji the boy Perfect
Spiritual Master of the 1970s. He was a 13 year old Korean boy who toured the
United States building on the longing of young mostly white boys and girls who
were looking for answers their parents' churches could not provide. He bestowed
Knowledge and Bliss on the worthy supplicants. They became True Believers in
the moments of conversion. Suddenly, everything they knew was wrong. It was
like the Firesign Theater skit of the same name.
People were easy to mislead as far as Jack was concerned. But
so true, too, was the idea that people were easily able to be lead away from
the truth as well as toward it. One could be convinced that what they saw was
not what really happened. After all nobody can see both the front and the back
of another person at the same time.
"People are so easily mislead." He said, "And
they will grasp onto the flimsiest of evidence to support their beliefs."
His position was such insignificance as the spelling of a product name or the
name of a fictional bear family was anything a time traveling operative would
bother himself with was preposterous. "Yeah, let's go back in time and
change the name of colorful fruity breakfast cereal. That will get their
attention and make'em wonder."
Robert3 continued to attempt to make his case for
actual modification of the past happening. His position was that while the name
changes and movie dialog tweaks were what people noticed, it was what they
failed to notice that was important. In 1971 the San Fernando earthquake
damaged a dam that held back millions of acre-feet of water. The water level in
the reservoir had been significantly lowered prior to the quake. That decision
saved the lives of 92,418 people who otherwise died in the failure. Only a few
people remember the events as they once happened because the retroactive event
modification phenomenon allowed the water level to be lower and the dam only to
be damaged and not significantly failed. As the result of the dam failure and a
REM impact, people only remember minimal death and injuries were manifest. People
remember the concomitant alteration of the Volvo logo plate from that of a
circle to that of the symbol for Male.
No single change is ever manifest when a massive event wave
passes over and through history. There are always a multitude of alterations
taking place, most of which will go unnoticed. The wider is the public exposure
of a place, name, event, person, the more likely there will be many people who
realize a change has taken place.
Jack rolled his eyes and said nothing. Robert3
watched as Jack gained the 80 lbs of weight he lost over the most recent two
years when a retroactive event modification wave passed through the room.
"Jack, I thought you were on a weight loss schedule to lose weight."
"Yeah, Bob, I really tried, but after my wife came back
to me I abandoned all hope. My motivation was lost. She never really cared how
big I was."
"So you're back together now."
"Yeah. I thought you knew that."
