Did Things Go Wrong?

Some strategies and techniques in psychotherapy, which began with good intentions, probably became degraded, misunderstood or mis-applied.  I wrote an essay about these ideas, which did not go down well with the class tutor, but it makes sense to me still with hindsight. It's largely a matter of viewpoint and circumstance. Some people did not realise there could be possible unintended consequences of using some frameworks or methods. Did other people foresee, or even engineer things, either for control or chaos. Or would that be paranoid thinking? All I seemed to hear from people seeking help were off-the-cuff comments that made me wonder about the ethics or wisdom of certain routes to development.

To some extent many of us change over the years, or quickly depending on people and events that affect us. Emotional contagion can happen, even if we don't know quite how it works. Sometimes it's as though the scales drop from our eyes (if we get enough breathing space), about someone we trusted. Not all 'contagion' has a contaminating effect, but rather is a beneficial influence.

Advertising works, otherwise why are big bucks spent on it? Why is there so much data-mining particularly of our spending habits and contacts? If you've spent time on social media, you've seen stuff about hacking, scams involving large amounts of money, perpetrated on people who normally are nobody's fool, and questions about what Facebook in particular has been up to. We carry around a gadget capable of far more than the early computers, and all this is pushed at us. Big data, fast data, more 'I can do this', until something goes wrong.

I have known people who don't seem to remember some things in their life, if they are simply not in the right frame of mind. Others switch from one complex task to another, as easily as dropping a hat. Me, not so much! I get tuned in to what I am doing, and stuff falls off the shelves that I can fit into things somewhere. So we are all different, some days more so than others.


What if someone can manipulate our parts, 'hack' us, or use us to fulfil some idea of their own?

Hand-in-hand with dissociation or personality parts was an inference that there must be underlying or unacknowledged abuse or trauma. All hell was being let loose, with a consequent backlash and denial that such things could have happened. Some people try to convince others that, if one case has doubt thrown at it, it means all similar allegations have no basis. Where is the logic? - It only needs one black swan to prove they are not always white.
Memories can become distorted in the normal way of things. If people are pressured to keep searching in a negative way, particularly in a regressed state of mind, the outcome is less likely to be a true record. People can genuinely benefit, but for others it could act as a placebo, believing that they now have an explanation. With encouragement from a friend who was a good hypnotherapist, I underwent a training course that seemed ethical till I knew more of how it could be used to keep making money or to prove a point. What point exactly? At least I learned something from the experience.

It does not have to be full-on hypnosis or planned scam to affect people. A persuasive person sticking to dogma can cause problems for those who are searching. We are more likely to be conned or drawn into a cult, when vulnerable or upset. This is not a manual on how to have an effect on people, but it can help to understand how maybe you got duped by someone getting under your natural protective system. Even if you know and trust someone, people change and one needs a rethink. People can inadvertently push each others' buttons, rekindling something upsetting.

At times during my involvement in some of the areas touched on here, I found myself wondering about people's schooldays, how they might have behaved in the playground: Because the dynamics seemed along the lines of friendship groups, how loyalties change, the difference between having a close friend on standby, or being able to muster support, and a stand-alone who can be scapegoated or whispered about. Let's just say, it made more sense than some of the ideology people claimed. You might think of examples from your observations or experience. Through my eyes, I can only say 'Be careful in whom you place your trust. You are not necessarily being paranoid if you sense more than one agenda present in some people.'

Note inserted June 2021
We've mentioned elsewhere in Blogs & on Twitter about motivation and therapists, and to be free to walk away from something that honestly does not feel in one's best interests. Therapy is naturally painful: It should not be harmful, or take people apart for the sake of it.

Elsewhere we've mentioned author Leo Lyon Zagami, and recently came across Vol. IV of Confessions of an Illuminati, American Renaissance 2.0 and the Missing Link from the Invisible World. You may have no interest in mind control experiments if those seem irrelevant in your life. He puts a lot into perspective.

What About Forensic Psychology?

When someone commits a crime, people often wonder about the reasons. Do those who commit crimes never think of implications for others, they simply don't care, or they get a huge buzz from it? As they embroil themselves or others in covering up their actions, does it not occur to them they'll get caught? There are all sorts of theories, from behavioural or social, to deep psychological. We like to make sense of things somewhere, and often what we think is a 'clue' to the puzzle eventually surfaces. We feel things making sense like in a good book or TV show.

And when someone commits a shocking crime, getting away with it for years, it really can seem genuine when they finally admit how badly they feel. With others, it looks like they'd do the same again with less than half-a-chance. I never cease to be surprised when someone murders his wife, and is found years later, seemingly living a normal married life. What that is like for the current wife must be horrendous. Some of these men split their family into supporters and detractors, and manage the same with the legal process, dragging things on with denials, appeals and retrials. They are very persuasive! I sound as if it is mainly men who default, but there are cases of women who get away with deception and murder on a serial scale.

Do they separate parts of themselves off? Can anyone do it? Can someone do it to others?

Some criminals have used a defence that it was another part of themselves committing a crime: 'It was the other Brian', or maybe 'Little Brian'. They may genuinely feel someone or something else made them do it, something just came over them, or they do not remember. In some courts in the United States, films are allowed to be shown which seem to suggest that someone is acting in different modes or personalities. And a significant proportion of offenders and prison inmates have, at some stage in their lives, suffered injury to the brain.

See top tabs 'Be Your Own Expert' for these videos

I cannot deny the validity of these findings. However, it would mean that virtually anyone may be able to disclaim responsibility when their behaviour comes under scrutiny. What I feel may happen in some 'ritual abuse' scenarios is that well-meaning therapists have at times been too lenient, wore the wrong spectacles, or tended to believe in rather too much. When someone describes horrendous events, the natural reaction is to feel sympathy and horror. But there may be other reasons for someone describing things and being certain of their reality, for them. Like other scenarios, once someone has gone public with an account or a theory, it is not easy to think 'Hang on, I'm not so sure in this instance.' Am I saying there is no such thing as ritual abuse?  I am not. People have different experiences and challenges to face, and it is what they do about them that matters. Some people are able to realise what they have done, or what has been done to them, and to help others understand. Others deny not only their part, but also what others have been through. Whether people follow this or that path or way for themselves, it should at least be their own choice.

Dr Paul Simpson founded Project Middle Ground in Arizona, after firstly encouraging clients to talk in terms of child abuse using a method of regression, then realising that many of the apparent recollections were more likely a side-effect of the type of therapeutic approach. His book entitled 'Second Thoughts' is still available and explains more fully.


When I realised how techniques like guided imagery, subpersonalities, facilitated communication, hypnosis and general frameworks of therapeutic or other belief, were likely to be influential in some outcomes, I rethought a lot of my own assumptions.

Cultures or Cults - Do They Hypnotise Us?

Well, maybe not us, but might it happen to others? Perhaps we have a concept of a crime family, a Mafia, where members act like a well coordinated group with a strong hierarchy or boss-man or woman. To me, cults are similar to scams: people come under a kind of spell or regime that inhibits ordinary individualistic thinking. You'll have your own ways of looking at things. And that is how it should be.


Can People be Hypnotised to do Things Against Their Will, or to Forget What They've Done?

Yes, although views and circumstances vary. Sometimes the barriers break through, and there is seepage from one mode of functioning to another.


What About Dissociation, Multiple Personalities or MPD?

Again, views vary widely. If you look through the original Toukanalia Blog, you'll find more. In a nutshell, some people engage in cult-life without having any awareness of it in normal waking and working life. Somewhere I have a book about a family that operated in this fashion, as well as running a business. I ended up feeling sorry for the man running the show when things unravelled, because he was upset and did not seem to realise the full import, or what he had been instrumental in, almost as though things simply happened around him. If he had entered a 'cult' persona, or was in an altered state of consciousness, that could go towards explaining some of it. Stage hypnotists can get people to do weird things, and not all subjects are playing along with what is expected - or pleased with the results!

In one area we lived, we got to know a teacher who mentioned being puzzled by a few students who occasionally seemed to use quite ordinary words as if they had a different meaning for them or others 'in-the-know'. That may be cultural and make no sense to people not born in the area, or have meaning in family traditions. You could liken it to an 'in-joke' that excludes others when you start a new job. But it sounded unusual, and only happened sometimes related to time & place or some internal space. My great-aunts would whisper things they didn't think were suitable for children's ears. When my mother revealed something she had heard via the whispering-aunts, I could see how far-reaching and powerful 'Secrets in the Family' can be, see the book by Lily Pincus & Christopher Dare. They found that a disturbing family occurrence that was never mentioned, significantly affected family functioning and some members, for a lifetime or maybe until aired.

Some people I've come across in my meanderings have been deeply dissociative with infrequent glimpses into other part/s of their life. Then they'd forget it all, losing large chunks of personality. I engaged with a strong, well-respected person who managed a variety of activities in the community. She really knew how to manipulate. My tendency is to seem compliant and non-assertive, but I am known for being stubborn. She admitted to me that I made her efforts with her protegee a lot harder: I guess that's all I could do in the circumstances.

Basically, she completely overrode the personality of a highly intelligent capable woman, manipulating the alter parts of her personality & her life. She seemed addicted to the activities, and I could not understand how she disciplined herself during periods of downtime. Is there something or someone else orchestrating this?

Allied fields are Anthropology, Anthropology of Religion. Check out the work of Tanya Luhrmann, author of 'When God Talks Back'. Jimmy Lee Shreeve wrote 'Blood Rites' and 'Sacrifice'. In the former the last chapter summarises some split-brain research, including the work of Julian Jaynes on the Bicameral Mind. Also see books by Stan Gooch.

Dr William Sargant wrote several books on other cultures and beliefs, including the dangers of attending rituals where emotions or senses are heightened to the point where people may be converted to a very different belief. He in fact stayed away from those! What we may regard as primitive tribal dances, according to some researchers, are actually effective methods of communicating with other Beings. However we tend to explain things for ourselves, some practices are found across the World, and through centuries. You may come across the idea of portals, which can be places or circumstances when other realities are seen or heard, or perhaps it happens during a period of fever, illness or danger. I have mixed with people with many beliefs and personal experiences, generally without it causing concern. I have become cautious over time about getting too close to people with a bee-in-the-bonnet - over anything, or what seems an imbalance regarding people other than themselves. See On Protection post at https://notincharacter.blogspot.com/2019/01/blog-post_28.html, and maintain some boundaries for yourself.

If you think people cannot be hypnotised unless they are in full agreement or in an appropriate setting, this may help: A colleague who was a hypnotherapist told me of a meeting where an experienced practitioner gave a talk, and by the end almost all the audience were zonked out  including other practitioners. This colleague used to be active in political circles, and I watched him subtly and slowly turn a room around from claiming there was no way they would agree to something. By the end of the meeting, he had set things in motion, though for the first half you'd never have known he was doing that - and I was watching for it.

If you look at the Egregores book at No.11 below and go to the end, there are three accounts of people with different experiences of joining a group, sometimes with far-reaching consequences for themselves or right across the board, acting almost like a curse. So please people, be careful what you get involved in. A man we knew who had an analytical mind and job, said he would go to an introductory talk run by Scientology and let us know what it was like. We warned him to be careful, but had no great concerns. Next time we saw him he was at the blackboard virtually repeating what he 'learned' or now 'knew', and not listening to anyone else's comments. Another time a couple of us went to an introductory meeting of a group at a hotel in Birmingham. The first half cost a few pounds, and we were then told if we wanted to hear the second part it was a big dollop more, the idea being to get people on the road to enrolling on a course. I had to catch a train back, and anyway don't like these ploys. My friend seemed hooked, and again had always analysed things out, and had training in another discipline. The female speaker was both didactic and charming, and had us repeating a mantra to visualisation. One intrepid man asked bluntly 'Is there verification for any of this, because you are giving it all out as factual?' Good question, which got nowhere as others resented the intrusion, and it certainly was not discussion time. Soon afterwards the organisation changed its name. You do need to be careful that there is not a very different agenda from stated, or that a group or enterprise does not simply change until unrecognisable. Groups can be hijacked as well as individuals, and there are people with precisely that intention and skills

It is not just groups that can sway people into different behaviours or thinking, and some experiences of different activities or pastimes are clearly beneficial. Recent media focus has been on stalking, abusive relationships and coercion or control, so if you are concerned about your physical or emotional safety, there is information available, a common language, and help available. The most difficult part is realising in the first instance that there's something amiss or unreasonable in the behaviour of a person one is involved with. Even so, that person can be very persuasive, or impose further restrictions so that it's hard to get away without back-up or support.

On Protection

It is an individual matter, and can involve some trial and error: Make-it-up as You-go-Along. People are more likely to be psychic or sensitive if a parent was. Or protected, or whatever. But people can read up, listen to others, and think on. Whether people see UFOs or not can run in families. People I've known who were brought up on a farm seemed very intuitive. No-one should ever use their gifts to scare you, or to make money from you or take advantage of you. Bear in mind that they can also be Wrong!

You can make sure that you have good locks, that no-one can see right in your windows, that you are careful over the Internet & what you say. In my early employment days, I went for an interview where the owner said 'Be careful what you say, because there are people here who pry.' I recently broke contact with someone I'd known for years. She acted as though incompetent in her own life, while fixating on me and anyone I ever mentioned, forgetting nothing. She was stringing along professional helpers who liked and supported her, but reinforced her helplessness till it was too late: It seems more likely she was the 'professional player'. It felt I was being goaded for playground sport, as happens on social media with a vengeance. Bullying can be subtle or covert, sometimes a way of grooming.

The person feels they can behave as they wish, while implying no-one can do anything: They are useful to the workplace, or not well, elderly, vulnerable, can't handle a challenge or row. My guess is I am now being put-down to others as the new name-of-the-game. Why would I not gently say something? People need their defence mechanisms, but one doesn't have to collude with them, and in my view to do so is inappropriate. In a work setting you may have to grin & bear some things, but try to maintain boundaries. Teamwork and seamlessness are not my favourite words. In some jobs you are never expected to draw a line. Is that a con? Organisations that focus inwards are more likely to go to the wall. My contact who focussed on the minutiae of my life, made it harder for me to get on with more important issues. When this happens in workplaces, it's like fiddling while Rome burns. You can watch employees who actually seem to want the organisation to go to the wall, and you along with.

Hint: If you go for a job interview or similar, and they harp on about behaviour or inadequacies of your predecessor, or how quickly they were shown the door... be careful, though naturally different people fit into different slots. The same sort of thing applies when someone you think pretty decent, makes snide comments about other people, or their inadequacies, not just once but often.

Watch out for infringement of your boundaries. Sometimes others form a kind of 'unholy alliance' to undermine others. Quite why reasonably attractive people, in good health, capable, in employment, having apparently good relationships, living in nice homes, find it necessary in any way to target people who are less fortunate, is a mystery! I guess it harks back to playground days. Maybe it just follows what appears to be the line of least resistance - until that fights back, or simply ignores it.

If you juggle several aspects about something or someone, you will see the mosaic before others. If you feel uneasy, you can only do your best to fulfil a role. Find a way to withdraw if you need to. People can maintain a camouflage for a very long time. Sometimes an obsession develops and settles on you. Occasionally a perceptive other person sees it and backs you up, but usually it is down to you to pick up the pieces. The simplest way to describe some of this is 'living vicariously' through someone else, which is a natural part of life so long as it doesn't go too far over boundaries and become oppressive. Relationships take many forms, and we usually settle on getting along with some leeway. You may manage to renegotiate, or you may not.

If you are being stalked physically or emotionally, or something like it happens online, there are useful books on Amazon, and anti-stalking advice online. Stalking is an obsession. It can be dangerous, and you need to be careful. Don't engage.

If you are in a situation of domestic violence, get good advice. Also explore coercive control.

If you become the target of an emotional, underhanded onslaught from someone, take steps to protect yourself and your home the best ways you can. If you feel more comfortable with, say, rabbit or dinosaur ornaments on the shelf, try it. Some things seem to work without being part of an ideological framework. (Maybe that is why they do.) Get curtains you like, or some material to drape over. Work on your own environment, learning as you do. What I can tell you, is it will puzzle them when their antics don't work. I liken it to pulling down the shutters and closing up shop.

No more deals possible.

Blog on things to try to shield yourself & your environment from possible effects of 5G, EMF is now up at 
https://shieldingtips.blogspot.com




An important Footnote: A pretty young woman walked up to me at a meeting, and said she needed advice on controlling her mind. For some reason I asked if she meant herself, or someone else doing it to her. Quick as a flash, a 90-year old gentleman nearby said 'Someone has built a bridge towards you, and you need to find how to stop him.'

Is it something in my stars that I've been at the butt end of people's weirdness, and have collected snippets along the way? The psychic friend who did my chart gave more advice. I am not psychic, but had bought things at a sale and one made me uncomfortable. My friend, who one might think would never allow random items within a mile, said 'I shove things in a strong black binbag and tie the top.' Several books I ordered that gave off the same feeling, were relegated straight to the shed. So don't necessarily think you must be imagining things, or cannot do anything about them.

Did you ever prepare to get to an event or to meet someone, get halfway there or right to the door, and turn around? Or fall asleep and miss the train? Sometimes one hears about what happened there, and thanks those 'lucky stars'.

You may have reached this page in the hope of finding some strategy to help you through a dire personal situation. My best advice is to try to avoid getting drawn into relationships or activities that could turn problematic. I know things can happen very fast, but keep a weather eye open, ready to extract yourself. People tried to involve me in an occult group that advertised in a London newspaper. Other times I attended various introductory lectures, and held discussion groups. More than one person warned me about other activities that some members engaged in. So be careful. Not everything/everyone are as they seem, and you may be happy with some things but not others. Reading the work of authors who got more deeply involved and 'duped', they seem to take an avoidance path, cutting themselves off from those people, rather than confronting them. When running our own groups, the next couple of dates were given out, but no further into the future than that.

There are indications that emotional suffering such as from bullying, ostracism, shunning, rejection, or breakup of a love affair, can cause people to feel as they would with physical pain. The physiological indications are very similar. See the work of Professor Kipling Williams.

Shunning is used in cults to keep people in line. It causes a great deal of pain, splitting up families and isolating people. Scientology calls their version of showing disapproval and causing punishment 'Fair Game', words which have become common in describing vengeance. Is it a fair route to follow? Is it worth it?

Are We All a Bit Psychic?

I've always thought I am not, but recall instances in workaday life, walking into a room where people have been talking about me, and my knowing it. Or it is like someone cut the room down the middle with a knife. When we put our house up for sale and someone walked round in our absence, I could feel their antagonism. I certainly don't always get things right. In a practical sense, it can save you hassle. Sitting on a train with my thoughts all over the place, I became aware of a man opposite who kept pulling at his leather gloves, and it was like him boring a hole into my calf. I shot off the train at the next station and belted along the platform to another carriage. Admittedly it was at a time when women were being attacked on London trains.

Some people can lull me into feeling that they are fine to be with, which can turn out very wrong. At times I reacted badly to someone at work, then formed a friendship with them after leaving. I had a knack of knowing if someone was good at art or something, or walking into a bookshop and heading straight for something, hardly looking before buying. I had a psychic friend I called Mr. O. He said he was always a material person, very active till his fifties, when he realised he could heal people with his hands. He used to charge up tissues just passing them through his hands, and sent them to people. His first thought was always what someone else might need. He and some friends formed a group which met at a particular time weekly to send out healing. One day, for some reason like appalling weather, they could not meet, and the recipient group asked 'What happened? We could not feel anything.' He was very good with people's photos, picking up pets that had passed on, even if they were not in the picture at all.

I was fascinated by people with a psychic sense, and the idea that if, for instance one had an idea or a problem, someone might be able to sense it, or actually see it hanging around. There may be people with a certain physical or psychological make-up that enables others to pick up things that they've been brooding about, or they may be sensitive enough to suss things out about us. If we could see it ourselves, we'd understand what we were sensing - it might actually 'be there'. I went to a student meeting on a course I was embarking on, in a lovely basement room in someone's home. I tried not to be put off by her husband having a skull on one of the shelves, but what struck me more was the furniture giving off something that was not just a smell of polish. Fortunately we never went back there.


Below is a rather scary image of a book:


If you search around you can download a free .pdf version with drawings that make it more meaningful. Some of it is along the lines of the Leadbeater book on thoughtforms, emotions and so on. It could be that there are collections of energy either in someone's aura, or present nearby, or linked, that we actually are reacting to as if we could see them with ordinary sight. Another avenue to look at is things like entities or servitors, that are created with a specific task to perform. How do we know that some people don't just do this automatically to fulfil a need, without ever opening a magic book? It's my belief this happens more than we know.

Some families have strong traditions, and may have violent emotions. It sometimes seems these pass from generation to generation, with positive or negative consequences, having significant effects on those they come in contact with. It is not at a conscious level, and therefore may be more powerful, so the impact on others can be very much like a deliberate curse. OK, so you don't believe in them, but wait till you meet something otherwise inexplicable! Then start looking to some form of protection.


Next, I draw your attention to author Mark Stavish. He is an esoteric writer and has a YouTube channel, but is able to explain things in a way that ordinary folks can understand. He writes about egregores, or group-minds of various kinds What interested me is his little book on polgergeists and obsessions, with sections on other authors whose work I had turned to in an attempt to get an inkling. I also have a thing about protecting oneself, and he has another book on that.

There seem to be situations and people, where none of the usual ideas work to explain things, or to improve them for someone, or for oneself. I don't believe in messing about in things I do not understand, but unless we consider some things outside-the-box, we will never learn.


Bear with me while I digress some more: Some writers are into Earth energies and so on, and one would have to be pretty hard-nosed not to consider that these, plus Planetary energies or configurations could explain some of the otherwise inexplicable.

See What About Forensic Astrology? at https://notincharacter.blogspot.com/2019/01/blog-post_33.html


To get back to where this all started:

Are we effectively 'cuckooed' by other people's needs, conscious or not? Do they somehow infiltrate some of our own brain (or other) circuits, so that we don't really know what to think for a while? Is this how cults work? or coercive situations like scams, or fraudulent relationships? See recent tweet -



Is stalking a kind of scam, a cuckooing of one's life?
Do Cults work by cuckooing the mind, the soul?
Watch where you place your trust!
