About the Author:

 

Robert Carlson, aka Me, has been writing from a very early age. Somewhere around age 13 I started recording the thoughts I had and the experiences I went through. Granted most of that is not the kind of fare that anyone would be interested in reading, but over the years I have honed that narrative style that does provide for a consistent level of interest by the reader. 

My first attempts at publishing resulted in nothing published but then eBooks and the Internets came along and some of that here-to-fore unpublished material found a new outlet.

My books cover existential fiction blended with a lot of true story. The first three volumes represent just the beginning. The backlog of material extends back in time 50 years. Readers will be spared most of that early "stuff" except as accents and punctuation in a larger more contemporary writing.

Along with my Left Brain language dominant thinking I also have a Right Brain image dominant thinking that is expressed in a prolific photography legacy. I hope to be able to properly format an eBook of some of the photographic themes that I have covered since 1971.

Along with the flights of fancy in the fiction, I also have a penchant for observation and the connecting of dots that reveal "The Principle of Imminent Collapse" and "It's All Tuna!" Both are books that are yet to be made ready for publishing.

Meanwhile... enjoy the books that are available.

Mass Brainwashing

Mass Brainwashing

People who clearly recall some little detail in popular culture differently than can be seen by looking at "evidence" have come up with a spectrum of causes ranging from "I just always thought..." to we are all living in a simulation controlled by superior beings, are being manipulated in everything we see, hear and do while the Mandela Effect are glitches in the matrix we are not supposed to notice but do. To some people the superior ones are the Illuminati while for others it is lizard people from Saturn or Nibiru. Another popular explanation is time travelers who are having a go at us with silly bugger changes.

The alterations of popular culture is the possible way to make anyone aware of the changes being made. In a nutshell, most ordinary people are not known by a sufficient number of other outspoken people for it to ever be known they used to have 6 fingers on each hand but somehow now it's only five. Without photographs there would only be a few people who ever knew.

On the other hand, Bart Simpson is far more real in popular culture than most actual human beings. Millions of people have seen him and know of his antics. They know how many fingers he has on each hand. Five, right? Oh, no, now it is only four. And its every character from the very first show.  His signature saying, "don't have cows, dude," would be remembered by most of them. At least the ones who watched from the early days before he stopped saying it."

The idea that a powerful alien civilization has made this simulated world just for us is more than a little bit Christian in its formation. Very Biblical. Genesis to be exact. Even the one god of genesis say WE when they refer to themselves and the making of the world in six days.

Another suggestion is we were all "natural" flesh and blood creatures until the end of the Mayan Calendar in December 2012 when its end signified that something catastrophic "might have happened" and we all were resurrected in this simulated world. ME and déjà vu are glitches in the software. What was so special about humanity that it warranted being recreated in a cyber world that is exactly as flawed as the old one was? The architects of this simulation decided that all 7 billion people needed to be preserved even though they will appear to suffer and die of environmental and manufactured causes. Or are all those "others" just non-conscious props for the benefit of we who are sentient and conscious as in "Breakfast of Champions?" That is a dangerous supposition that will allow us to minimalize the plight of those others.

This brings us to the concept of us all being brainwashed into thinking we are more than we are and need all the stuf (or stuff) that is being sold. Exactly to what end are we being enslaved by the brainwashing? Automation is making human labor obsolete. Soon there will be few if any people working. Everyone will be given their "daily bread" by the masters just for standing around being submissive. Again very Biblical.

The whole idea of a massive slave population is a bad one at best. Consider 7 billion people all wanting the attention of the Master, dependent for everything. This is why parents expect their children will eventually grow up and move away and many times kick them out after 18 to 20 years and told to get a job.

Next up: Actual Changes of the Past

Three Phases of ME

Thousands of people have the sense that something in their past has changed and only a few other people have any sense of it happening. The phenomenon has been labeled "Mandela Effect" by Fiona Broome.  To them the question becomes: did something alter mine and many other peoples' memories or did the Past actually change. For them there is only those two possibilities.

A third explanation emerges which is equally able to describe and explain the experiences people have with respect to the Effect. Briefly the Mandela Effect is a memory fluke which is derived from the reports that when Nelson died on December 5, 2013, Houghton Estate, Johannesburg, South Africa (Wikipedia) people surfaced who said they thought he had died in prison many years earlier. To them Mr. Mandela never was the President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999 and the man who presided over the dismantling of the Apartheid government. While they "clearly remember" him dying in prison, they have no idea who was the President during the years 1994-1999 in South Africa. Basically, they were not paying close enough attention to African politics at the time.

This third explanations requires a large communication portal wherein large numbers of people can read what others say and post their own responses to either agree with or disagree with what is said. The Internets create this great filter through which the information flows. Many hundreds if not thousands of participants add their part to the collective recollections. Without the ability to communicate with large numbers of people who appear to have the same recollection there could be no body of knowledge we now call the Mandela Effect. Each person would casually dismiss their own recall as being faulty with no corroboration from others to validate the error of that memory.

Now that the phenomenon has a name, multiple Youtube channels and a presence on Facebook and Twitter, many more people are able to validate their faulty memories.  The erroneous memories seem to only manifest in pairs. It was THIS way or it was THAT way as in Berenstain and Berenstein Bears, or Fruit Loops vs Froot Loops. In this manner the cause in not likely a merging of quantum realities since many other permutations of the alternate spellings of word choices would have equally probable presence. We should see many different appearances.

Should some time traveling adventurer return to our past and make changes, he or she would be wasting massive amounts of high-energy resources to Punk us here in the early 21st century. Adding a dividing line in the VW logo, a curly F in the Ford logo or the "male arrow" to the other circular Volvo logo, would be playing silly buggers with us here for no apparent reason.

The ability to aggregate opinion via a massive telecomm system facilitates the Mandela Effect. Cartographers have from time to time emphasized and deemphasized the presentation of the spherical planet onto a flat piece of paper. Until an accurate time piece was made which remained accurate during turbulent sea voyages, longitude was a "best guess" by the navigators who were on the exploratory trips around the globe. As their skill improved as well as the accuracy of their clocks, so were their maps.

Ship's Captains commissioned by Kings were not adverse to stretch the extents of their travels with deceptive maps. After all there was no one to challenge their veracity. Recall that Christopher Columbus was not looking for two new continents but a westward route to the India and China. Imagine Queen Isabelle and King Ferdinand saying," But I always thought the world was flat and resting of the back or a turtle. Something must have changed."

So now is it that the person feeling the Mandela Effect is merely being wrong or did someone tamper with his brain?  Next up: Mass brainwashing.

Thoughts on Swirl Theory

When you go looking for something and do not find it there are a few possibilities to consider:

1. You are looking in the wrong places
2. You are looking for something that doesn't exist
3. You are looking at the wrong time
4. You haven't been looking long enough.
5. You might have overlooked it and are no longer looking where it is
6. You might have assumed you knew what it looked like and ignored it when found
7. What you are looking for might be on the move

There are a few phenomena that by their nature are difficult to grasp and identify. First one is everything you see, hear, smell, taste or touch is the result of an electrical signal from outside your body. The signal is conveyed up and into your brain. There it registers on your consciousness and is felt to be back out where it is first contacted. You do not "feel" the sensation of a pain in your hand or foot but only in your brain. Your brain transfers the sensation back to where you think it originates. The illusion is extremely difficult to ignore.

An example is everything you see with your eyes is about the size of 2 nickels, its curved and upside down. Your brain receives the tiny image data and projects it out into the world and we call it reality. Your eyes have no color receptors for yellow but your see yellow anyway. Red, green and blue are the three receptor types along with grayscale cells.

You can only think about something if you have it in your memory. If a memory is not in the conscious part of your brain you cannot speak about it to tell anyone it is there. If your memory is ever in anyway altered, you have no way to detect the change unless other people contradict your claim of memory.

The Mandela Effect is real, but it is is not fully understood. It might be an illusion. It might be mass hysteria, confirmation bias or some such thing. It might represent an actual alteration of the past by some poorly understood means. Some alleged examples may not be related at all, while other are.

We have no idea how often any part of the past becomes altered since anytime it changes what we see is always the way it was. The concept of a fluid changing past is explored in the article Swirl Theory on the Vulnerable Geometry blog site. Retroactive Event Modification (REM) phenomena is possible and it doesn't require time travelers or intent to make changes. Physicists say such a phenomenon is possible but cannot say that it is a fact mainly because they have never remembered seeing it happen.

Excerpt From Internal Crossing

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."

Mandela Effect

Street Coin Mandela

Mandelas appear in many cultures and even on the ground in our cities and towns. I call them "Street Coins" because that seem to be circular metal plates strewn all about.

Beyond the physical manifestations in the environment, mandalas represent metaphysical phenomenon which fascinate observers throughout the centuries.

Recently the word Mandela has become synonymous with a strange experience people report having with increasing frequency. This context of the word is derived from the name Nelson Mandela, the former President of South Africa. It seems many people upon hearing of his rise to political prominence recalled that he died in prison several years earlier.

The apparent contradiction leaves those people with a conundrum. They certainly heard wrong, misremember what they hold to be a true memory, or the Past somehow changed! This last option is the one which intrigues them the most. The presence of people who remember the way history used to be are not small in number. To them the question becomes: did something alter mine and many other peoples' memories or did the Past actually change. for them there is only those two possibilities. This is the source of the so called  "Mandela Effect" coined by Fiona Broome.
.
The Nelson Mandela example is not the only one. There are many alleged altered memories/altered past examples to consider. Berenstain Bears vs Berenstein Bears. Fruit Loops vs Froot Loops. Looney Tunes vs Looney Toons. Many more progressively complicated examples can be found in the Googles.

The the book Internal Crossing, Robert Corbin experiences some of the confusing scenarios and discovers what probably is the cause. His revelations can lead civilization into non-existence.
