What is Mass Formation Psychosis?
Psychosis can be defined as a delusional state where a person perceives things to be true that are not considered true by the majority of others. Mass Formation Psychosis is thus when a mass of people are collectively guided or coerced into a delusional state where they can be made to believe something that is not true.
As a metaphysical / intuitive man who has had innumerable psychic and mystical experiences, I view reality with a broad stroke. There is physical reality, which all could agree upon, but to me, reality is far more than just that.
In this article, I am going to discuss what I think happened. My view is decidedly metaphysical rather than psychological or philosophic and is based on a number of experiences and observations I have had, some of which I will convey as I go.
My Premise
I believe the Mass Formation Psychosis (MFP) was achieved by first creating a Mass Formation Trance. I use the word trance, rather than hypnosis, because I consider trance to be a broader term. I will discuss a number of trance-like states I have experienced and my thoughts about existence developed from them.
Once the masses were moved into a trance or semi-trance state, I believe they were then programmed. I am going to explain why I specifically use that word programmed. I have lots of experience to draw upon.
I believe that different people were induced into MFP via a number of methods. One group of people were susceptible in one way, a second group in another way, and so on. I also suggest why I think some either weren’t captured, or were able to free themselves.
In parallel, I will touch upon my current view of reality as it relates to this subject.
Altered States of Consciousness
In Astrology, we associate altered states of consciousness with the planet Neptune. This includes trance, intoxication, deep meditation, hypnosis, and more. We also associate spirituality with Neptune since altered states can allow one to (seemingly) peer into the non-physical. When an individual has personal planets (the inner planets) that aspect Neptune, they can have, let’s say, a more significant relationship with altered states. Some people are more enticed by them and thus seek them out. Some fall into them more easily than others.
Shifts in the Perception of Time
Without worrying too much about the specific types of altered states, l firmly believe that there are many degrees that one can be entranced. Some semi-trance states are so subtle, no one would notice, not the person himself or herself, not an observer. Think about the different kinds and different levels of intoxication you have experienced, and you’ll better understand what I mean.
I have certainly perceived a different pace in the flow of time resulting from altered stated and this can work in either direction. Time can expand dramatically or pass in an instant. I’ve had times when I noticed it while it is happening, but in many cases, I only noticed it after the fact.
My first profession was software engineering. I was a programmer for all of that career, and was a software architect (designer) for half of it. Frequently, I would fall into a programmer’s trance. My focus, while writing code, was so acute, hours would fly by as if minutes. As nerdy as this may sound, those times felt amazing! The energy flowing through me had me writing code as fast as I could type...faster even. I consider those experiences moving meditations.
This past July, I was working on my third novel. I was writing for hours nearly everyday. The effect is not as strong as when I coded, but does leave me feeling spacey and somewhat disconnected from normal life. At the end of the day, it can take me a bit of time to come back to the here and now from the time and place of my novel.
The Recording of Memory
Some trance-like states prevent the recording of memories.
A few years ago, I was visiting with a friend I first met when we were teenagers. She and I see each other rarely these days. She has an amazing memory. In the conversation, she brought up a trip we took together in the late 90s. I remembered the first part of that trip, but when she described the details of the second part, I could not conjure any memory of it at all. The entire last half of the trip was non-existent in my memory and her talking about it did nothing to bring it forth. It was completely missing. I had never experienced this before. I know I have limited memory of my childhood, but usually if someone talks about specific events, some of it comes back.
I asked her when that trip was, and when she told me, the lightbulb above my head lit up. That trip was right after a very painful breakup. I remember how many days I cried over that loss.
A theory formed in my head as to why I couldn’t remember parts of that trip. I suspect that my trauma prevented me from recording the experiences as memories. Even though I lived those experiences, I wasn’t fully present. I think I was in a semi-tranced state of profound grief.
Trance Induced by Trauma
We have all experienced or at least heard about the profound time-dilation that occurs when one is in a car accident or something similar. A person can recall so much detail in the mere seconds that pass. Looking back, it is remembered in slow motion.
Shock is another kind of trance. The last time I was in an accident, I was popped into a subtle state of shock. I can’t recall any of the feelings I experienced, but my mind was mostly foggy and blank. I could not think logically. I could not take any form of action. I was stunned, mute, and frozen.
Childhood Trauma and Long Running Trance-like States of Consciousness
My father, typically calm and easy going, intermittently flew into profound states of rage. Sometimes, he was driving when it happened. Nearly every time, my mother became hysterical with fear. I think I was more traumatized by her fear than I was by his anger.
There is the one time I remember being hit as a kid. I didn’t even see it coming. I was teasing my father. I was playing. When he jumped up and chased me down the hall, I expected him to tickle me. Instead, he started punching me repeatedly (in the hip I think). Time dilated profoundly. I recorded no pain. I cannot remember feeling anything at all. I wasn’t traumatized by the event, but keenly detached and observant. My father expressed the most genuine regret after that, which is why I think I wasn’t scared by it.
When I was 20, I started seeing a counselor/therapist at my college partly because of the latest bout of family drama that was deeply affecting me. In one early session, I told him that I didn’t have many memories before the age of 15. He assured me how problematical that was for someone my age. He was the first one to tell me that I was a classic case of having been abused as a child.
Intermittently, I have read psychological books to better understand childhood trauma. In most cases, I gained an understanding of the problem, but not so much what to do about it. I learned about the three brains (Reptilian/Primal brain, the Limbic brain, and the Rational brain) and how trauma at a young age interferes with our development. We learn on many levels and probably none of us are raised under ideal circumstances, although some are far better than others.
Language
Before I continue forward, I need to take a step to the side. I already mentioned that I was a computer programmer for years. I mostly programmed in one language, but did have assignments that led to me others. When learning a new coding language that was different enough, I had to first learn to think in a new way. I experienced this a number of times in my career.
The way our mind uses human languages is similar to the above. I grew up speaking only English, although I heard plenty of Italian words. In my 20s, I had such a strong interest in language that I studied a number of them—never enough to be fluent, but enough to have conversations solely in those languages. At the peak within a particular learning, I would have dreams in that languages. In some of those dreams, I was relatively fluent. I didn’t use words I didn’t know, but I spoke with total ease and proficiency. In other dreams, I spoke well beyond what I actually knew in my awake mind. In fact, when I woke up, I had no idea what I had been saying.
The point of this section is the relationship between language and the mind.
As an intuitive, I now receive information in a number of ways. Tarot cards lying on the table can speak to me all at once or build as I move through them. With an Astrology birth chart, I can perceive someone (or a situation in their life) in a way that is challenging to describe. Archetypal tools such as these convey information quite differently than the linear nature of written or spoken language.
Telepathy is a whole other animal. In metaphysical circles, we talk about the clair senses. Nearly everyone is familiar with clairvoyance (psychic seeing). Clairaudience is psychic hearing (similar to actual hearing). Claircongnizance is when one receives an entire article full of data in one instantaneous download. One moment, you don’t know, and the very next, you do. It can take a full hour to verbally describe all the data that was received in a moment. Telepathy can be either clairaudient or claircognizant. I have experimented enough with telepathy to prove to myself that it is real and that it works over long distances as well as within the same room.
People who learn to speed read must unlearn the speaking the words in their head. The mind is far more capable than mere human language would suggest. Language, we are told, is natural, but I often wonder if it limits us at times.
Mystical States of Consciousness
Altered states of consciousness can hamper our ability to think and perform, but it can also induce psychic or mystical experiences.
I mentioned my experiences of my father’s rage. Well in my 20s, I was popped into a psychic state when faced with a person’s rage. I literally saw energy move through them; it was green and rose up from their feet. When it reached their face, it contorted, and then they started yelling at me. The person came at me with arms flailing, as if they were going to hit me. Clear as a bell, I “heard” my guides tell me that they would not strike me...and they didn’t.
Around that same time in life, I had an experience at work. I was in a conference room with one or more colleagues. Something in the discussion set me off and I started yelling or at least debating passionately. Interestingly, a part of my consciousness left my body and hovered in the corner of the room near the ceiling. The normal part of me was yelling and all fired up, but this other part of me observed the situation...and with NO JUDGMENT WHATSOEVER! I was simultaneously in two places at once: inside of my body and outside of my body, in an intense emotional state, and in a state of calm observance. That experience was possibly the most profound experience I had had up to that point. It is why I believe in the Higher Self (not the same as the soul). I think I was simultaneously experiencing the consciousness of my human self and the perspective of my Higher Self.
We Learn through Pain
Childhood trauma teaches us techniques for protection. Trance-like states separate us from the physical pain or abuse or trauma that happens to us. The problem is, we get too detached or too used to detaching. If you’re not in your body, you feel less pain, but you also feel less alive. All of life can get watered down by that.
We can come to prefer altered states over the so-called real ones. Many have written about this regarding drug and alcohol addiction. We aren’t so much addicted to the drug, they say, we get addicted to escaping into an altered state, which is less painful and less anxious.
Because we learn through pain, we can be taught and trained and programmed or brainwashed through pain. If the pain is slight, we might not be thrown into a trance-like state. That form of training is more direct and more conscious. We train ourselves this way. We teach ourselves to be mindful around hot or sharp objects, or when walking around the house barefoot.
The Resurrecting of Childhood Wounds
In 2020, I was reintroduced to my woundedness significantly. It wasn’t due to COVID, it wasn’t because of fear of “the virus”. It was the masks! Placing a bandana over my nose and mouth was traumatizing. Seeing masked faces around me was traumatizing. Seeing children masked was even more traumatizing. The dozens of times I did wear a bandana, for example in the grocery store, I immediately struggled to breathe. Within moments, I couldn’t think straight. [I pulled that mask down every change I got to get me through my chores.]
I was reminded of times when panic completely interfered with my ability to think. For me, the trauma with masks was possibly more psychosomatic than physical. Strong dread, grief, and a number of other feels can cause a similar disfunction within the rational thinking mind.
Creating Mass Psychosis
Abject fear is traumatizing. Trauma pushes your consciousness out of your body. I believe a great number of people were literally scared into a trance, and then programmed within that state. Some of that programming may very well be sub-verbal, subconscious, and primal.
People were programmed to accept the narrative (about the pandemic, the virus, the masks, the lockdowns, and the vaccines) as reality. The human mind does not like a blank slate. Sit to meditate and experience how hard it is to be completely quiet. When panic or trauma pushes one into a trance, the mind can more easily attach to new input.
The mind wants a paradigm to function within. Consider the difference between walking in a completely open field, and walking in the woods along a path. If you are alone or with with a few people, the open field can be fun. But now imagine hoards of people moving this way and that way. Imagine those people driving in cars! It would be chaos and mayhem. Driving in that environment would be stressful. We’d have to be hyper-vigilant.
And then there were those, like me, with deep childhood wounds, who were regressed back to those powerless states we felt as children.
Predictive Programming
Many in the awake and aware community talk about predictive programming. We’ve all seen those post-apocalyptic movie scenes with abandoned streets and cities. Once the urban areas emptied out due to the lockdowns, I am sure many were taken there. It made things feel so much worse than it actually was. We got real life visual clues that something was not right, was not normal, and given the predictive programming of so many movies, we had something to associate with it (even if subconsciously).
Systemic Programming
The programming of peoples’ minds and behavior started well before 2020. The media has been an abusive and narcissistic parent training us to fear, to anger, to hate, and then to blame. Healing is helical. It is cyclical, but hopefully advancing with each turn. The key is to get past blame. Empowerment only comes with responsibility. The media, the Cultural Marxism pressed upon us has trained us to fester within blame. It pits women against men, gays against straights, blacks against whites, Liberals against Conservatives, etc. The constant bashing of Trump has literally created a psychosis in and of itself. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real!
Our devices have been programming us for decades now. We’ve all seen those situations where a group of people sitting together are not interacting with each other but instead fully consumed by their phones. This too is a trance-like state. Your body is in one place, but your mind is somewhere else. It is also disempowering. You cannot take action because your mind and body are in different places. You powerless or your power is limited; you often cannot interact with that which you observe. Your choices are limited.
Apps like Instagram take it to a whole other level. The bombardment of images and video, is, to me, the worst of the worse. Scrolling through text is far less entrancing than pictures and video. It is over stimulating and thus we respond by detaching and numbing out. We get addicted to this altered state like the others. With many of these apps, we are specifically trained to hate ourselves and our lives (as compared to what we are seeing in the screen). This is a form of shame, and a very low and disempowered state of being.
Precursors: AIDS and 9/11
AIDS and 9/11 were prerequisites to this time. AIDS seeded the idea of asymptomatic spread. Pre 2020, AIDS was the only condition I could think of where a seemingly perfectly healthy person could give you a deadly disease.
9/11 was a masterful slight of hand. Recall the imagery of that second plane penetrating the South Tower. How many times have you seen that video clip? I am sure I have seen it thousands of times. Now consider that what you saw is physically impossible. An aluminum plane could NEVER slice through steal mesh like a hot knife through butter. It just could not happen the way it was shown!
And yet how many people still believe it happened exactly that way?
Summarizing the How
I believe that life as we know it is the result of programming. We are taught to think linearly via our dominant language. We are taught to accept certain things as fact (the kitchen table), but dismiss other things (your childhood invisible friend). We are coerced into accepting external authority figures (teachers, cops, and government leaders) and to shun self-empowerment (How dare you!). Just look at how many people in 2020 outright attacked the idea of individualism. Bodily autonomy went out the door. Taking ownership of the only possession you truly have became a cardinal sin!
If you are still with me, does it not seem easy to induce mass psychosis. Did they not simply steer processes already at play? Can you see the evolution? I only went back as far as the 80s, but is goes much further back!
Are People Still in a Trance?
I wonder how much of what we are seeing is people still in some kind of trance and how much is simply them operating within a new paradigm or programming. When I look closely as people who continue to wear masks in stores or on the street, I don’t see much fear. These people seem to have simply adopted masks as their new normal. It’s just what they do. Yes, some seem defeated, but not necessarily fearful.
Sometimes, to domesticate an animal, it has to be broken. An overly aggressive dog can be turned into a more obedient pet through that process. I think a lot of people were broken by the events of the past years. That is its own form of trauma.
Others seem unwilling to look outside of their protected bubble. There has got to be some awareness of this within them. This could be a subconscious fear of death...knowing that if they awaken to a profoundly different reality, their previous identity and existence will die.
Why the Awakened
If it is rather easy to create mass psychosis, why are so many of us awake? I think the answer to that is as diverse as we are.
Some of your have held onto your sense of logic. You’ve kept a healthy balance between your logic thinking and your feelings, emotions, and reactions. If this is you, you have probably been this way for all of your adult life, questioning what you are told and drawing your own conclusions.
Some of you have a healthy and mature relationship with your ego. You can accept being wrong. You shun overly identifying with labels. You accept that living comes with risks. You value freedom over safety at least half the time. Your life has probably been dynamic, and has featured big changes more than once or twice.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to take action despite fear. Those of you who practice and hone your courage are less susceptible to the brainwashing, manipulation, or being controlled.
People like me have spent a lifetime lifting ourselves up from the floor. The more times you do that, the more you can do it again.
Perhaps some of you have had, survived, and moved on from narcissistic relationships. If so, those relationships prepared you for this time.
Presence is also key. One who observes and considers the reality happening around them are less likely to be duped. I wrote all about that last year in my blog:
https://afoolsinclination.com/2021/04/27/the-three-universes/
How Do We Wake People Up?
Of course you want to know the answer to that question...and I do too. So far, I don’t think I have found anything specific that works. If I have helped free someone from the Matrix, they haven’t told me so.
I have always felt that half of the solution is fully understanding the problem. I hope the paragraphs above have helped you with that even if just a little.
I am also a firm believer in centering oneself, in finding balance and alignment, and from there listening to one’s intuition and spiritual guidance (whatever that means to you). So many that are awake have shifted or rekindled or adopted a more spiritual mindset.
I have always felt that love is so much more powerful than fear. We teach by example, so being courageous is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and others. In the early days, I made a point to look at people in the eyes and smile. At least I tried. Those people who went 15 feet out of their way to avoid me outside and in the park, well they were lucky to not get an eye roll from me. That was the best I could do for them.
I never stopped hugging my friends, even those who had just recovered from “Covid”. I think I have been better in real life than in the Virtual. I am sure none of my friends on Facebook pay any attention to me any longer. I really don’t know what they think about me.
Each of us has an audience no matter how big or small. I think serving the people who come to us is profoundly good work. The rest of them? Well, maybe we just need to hand them over to God and the Universe. Wish them well, but not let them stop us from doing what we feel we are called to do. I am sure we’ve all gotten better at letting people go.
