|    2024/01/16 Tuesday: The "Magnetic Mind"     |
|    16 Jan 24 12:50:42    |
      From: dicksilk@gmail.com              I'll be attempting to write this as "cleanly" as possible. I once went       through a period of time where I tried writing as "provocatively" as possible,       and that led into a bit of a "nasty situation" (from which I eventually       managed to extricate myself)        but seriously, alt.dreams.sexual is the group where this would be posted in a       more "straightforward" fashion.              Even so, I'll do what I can to post this "cleanly" here in alt.dreams....              Let's start with the *past* week, Jan 8–12 (Mon–Fri) during which I had       some (online Zoom) sessions with the "Magnetic Mind" process developed and       hosted by Chris Duncan.              Now right off the bat, you may be aware of "marketing schemes" like "Amway"       and "Avon" and "Mary Kay" where agents recruit agents to recruit agents to       sell product, and the *money* flows *up* the tree structure, only rather than       flowing into branches, it        flows to the tip of a pyramid, hence the common term, "pyramid schemes"—       although I rather dislike that term, as a "free market" / "Capitalism"       structure *is what it is*, and is "not" a "scheme," although "pyramidal       structure" is certainly applicable.              Well, this Chris Duncan fellow is *rather wealthy* (by his own admission) and       occasionally holds these 5-day seminars "for free" although he normally       charges a hefty package for regular participation (hence, the pyramidal       structure) and he uses the "       trained counselors" as his "agents" to help draw in new recruits (other terms       might be sycophants, participants, suckers, entrepreneurs, all depending upon       one's *perspective* on how effective the "Magnetic Mind" system *is* to the       individual.)              Finally, there's this *wonderful* aspect of the "Magnetic Mind" system that       blends psychology, hypnotism, astral body projection / directed out-of-body       experiences, NLP (Neuro-Lingustic Programming) and precepts/principles       straight out of Biblical        Scripture in order to facilitate *near instant* healing upon any given       (specific!) individual. It's *VERY MUCH* akin to "remote healing" as well as       "the power of prayer" and to be completely honest (as I typically always am)       *IF* someone were *not* a        baptized follower of Christ Jesus, it would be *VERY* easy to get "taken in"       by the "Magnetic Mind" approach. After all, it's "Magnetic," and anyone with       a "Mind" may certainly be curious!              Here's the thing, and I'd like to preface this with what Jesus Himself teaches       (as recorded in Matthew 24:4)— "Take heed, lest anyone *you* lead astray."        This "resonates" with the First Commandment, "Thou shalt have NO other gods       before ME." In        other words, One *is* responsible for *Oneself*; God *is* Alpha *and* Omega,       thus, *never* just "beta" as in a "beta-male," so in order to "get sucked       into" this "Magnetic Mind" system, one would have to relinquish one's       Christ-saved status to become a        minion of Chris Duncan, which never "sat well" at *all* with me, as it's in       direct opposition with the Lord's Prayer (and just about every H       brew/Judeo-Christian principle there is.) The primary reason I listened to       the seminars was / is to "pick up on"        elements that *are* Biblical in nature. The number of them were astounding,       and even gave insight into *some of* those very principles!              Here's where this morning's "dream" comes from:              Yesterday (Monday evening) I took a call from an unknown area code that had       been calling over the past few days (but since I am untethered from my       cellphone, and they never left a message, I had no idea who it might be)       simply because something told me, "       You need to take this call," thinking it *may* have been some political call       or a forgotten bill collector.              Turns out, it was "Tusi" (I *think* a female) calling on behalf of "Magnetic       Mind," as apparently I'd given my cell # when I registered for the seminar.              Now sure, there have been a *number* of auto-generated texts, plugging for me       to click a link (which is *very* unfriendly on my "stupid" flip phone) so I       figured, sure, s/he's simply trying to "hook" me / reel me in as a fish for       Chris (CD)— only, I        have no income, so I'm really less likely to ever get "reeled in" on something       that *requires* money in *any* form.              I availed myself of the opportunity to speak with one of CD's agents in order       to observe *how much* of CD's content "resonates with" Scripture, that in       fact, *most* everything he shares is freely available *in the Bible* (in one       understanding of a "turn        of phrase" or another.)              Now, I have no idea how much moolah "Tusi" has put into or fetched out of CD's       fishing pond, but I can't help but wonder how the news that *most* all his       techniques may be *freely* found in the Bible managed to "sit" in the       "super-conscious" (aka "       subconscious") mind of one of his acolytes / disciples / attending ladies.              Well, believe it or not, that's all just the "preamble" to what happened in       last night's / this morning's dream (from between around 3:30 AM and slightly       before 5:30 AM):              The dreamer found himself (and this eventually becomes evident that the       dreamer is male) in something *like* a type of home for the elderly, possibly       a hospital, possibly a nursing home of sorts, and in that building, there was       this one elderly boss-lady        (maybe in her 80s?) who seemed to be just another patient, but was       *practically* "judging" other patients of the facility— Something was said       by the "elderly boss-lady" in a manner *similar* to: [You go ahead and ignore       my counsel— see what becomes        of *you*!] (Again, not an *exact* quote, and only *roughly* in the spirit of       what was said, but close enough to recall from *after* the evaporation period       after waking.)              The *first* time the dreamer heard her saying something like that to someone,       he basically just took it as a snarky old woman berating a younger patient.        Then there was some type of period during which the younger patient (guy) may       have continued with        less-than-mannerly-behavior (of *some sort*: nothing was actually observed!)       and the scene was either re-viewed or re-played or in some manner re-visited,       such that her words of admonition were very clearly stated *as if* she were       actually the *owner* of        the facility, and as such, her word *was* judgment for any / all who lived       within her facility.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
