   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.
