My Mandela Effect affected books

This past month, it came to my attention that a passage from one of my books that I’d received the most emails about is now–and apparently always has been–missing.  By missing, I mean I can find no trace of it anywhere.  And it seems likely to me that it’s gone missing for many years.

You might well wonder why I would say such thing, let alone wonder how such a thing could be possible.  I’ll start by describing how this matter first came to my attention this past week.  I’d received a couple of emails from two different authors, and both email conversations prompted me to mention a certain memorable section from my book, Aura Advantage.  This was a very unique and unusual section of the book, where I describe how one day, I heard my salad telepathically communicate with me.  I used to get emails each year, up until maybe seven years ago or so, from people who were disturbed by the idea that salad might be sentient.  Typically, these readers had explained to me that they were vegetarians or vegans, and also that they were first startled and then somewhat horrified at the thought of anyone conversing with vegetables before eating them.  People are not writing to me anymore regarding this concern, and they haven’t written emails to me about this for many years now.  It seems the reason might be that my books no longer have anything like this in any of them.  That now-missing passage had been part of my book from when the first edition was published in 2003, up until possibly 2015–and I only noticed it’s missing this past month.

I next wondered if perhaps I might have been confused by thinking the missing passage was part of another book I’d written, so I carefully searched the original text files for all my books, including Reality Shifts and Quantum Jumps, and found no such passage anywhere.  When all logical possibilities were exhausted, the remaining leading explanation for what occurred is that my book has experienced a reality shift, such that now I just have memories that there once was a paragraph describing how my salad ‘spoke’ to me telepathically, and how reading this one paragraph used to be upsetting to some people to the point that they would write to me.

I’d love to hear from you if you remember reading such a passage in my book, so we can gain a sense of what people remember this missing passage used to say, and what you remember about it.  By sharing what you recall, if anything, we can gain further insights regarding how these kinds of reality shifts and Mandela Effects occur.

Quantum Jumps book changed

This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed that something I wrote has changed, such that all I had was my memory of what I’d originally written and that was published in the book.  The first time I noticed that this had happened was when I was preparing to give my talk for the 2019 International Mandela Effect Conference in Idaho.  While preparing to give my talk, I wanted to include the short explanatory passage I’d included in Quantum Jumps where I provided insights to what is illustrated on the cover of the book–including a link between the very small world of quantum physics, and the physics of the very large cosmological galaxies, stars, and planets.  I was amazed that this passage was completely missing when I prepared my talk, and grateful that I’d be talking about the very phenomenon that could help explain it, to an open-minded audience who was genuinely interested in the Mandela Effect and reality shifts such as this:  The Science and History of Reality Shifts and Mandela Effects.

The change to Quantum Jumps would have happened between the time it was first published in 2013 and 2019 when I noticed it missing.  I’ve not (yet) seen it return to the book, but that is a distinct possibility, and something I’ll be happy to see if and when it ever happens. What I remember this passage stating is something like this:

As physicists Leonard Susskind and Raphael Bousso have suggested, the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics and the cosmological multiverse are one and the same thing. 

The omission of a paragraph connecting the quantum and relativistic physics is a strikingly obvious change to the book for me.  It’s something so noteworthy that it’s hard for me not to notice.  If you remember that there used to be such an explanatory statement in Quantum Jumps, please contact me and let me know, since through such individual subjective observations with whatever details you remember, there is much we can learn about reality shifts and the Mandela Effect.

When contemplating how the Mandela Effect may be affecting books, as when doing pretty much anything, I recommend asking at every opportunity, “How good can it get?”

Improve Intuitive Discernment with Sensitivity and Specificity

At this evolutionary time featuring ever-increasing challenges, we can best survive and thrive through improving intuitive discernment.

One of the key fundamental organizing concepts learned by Medical school students is balancing sensitivity versus specificity.  Sensitivity represents the likelihood that a test can and will detect what is looking to find, while specificity represents the likelihood that “false positives” will not occur while seeking to detect something.  There is a trade-off between sensitivity and specificity, with best results occurring when setting acceptable threshold levels to ensure optimal results.

The topic of sensitivity versus specificity recently came to my attention in the article, Spiritual Considerations in Medical Ethics by A Midwestern Doctor from The Forgotten Side of Medicine.

Within medicine, many medical decisions are made based on sensitivity and specificity (although they are rarely described by this terminology). For example, the reason why a doctor checks your cholesterol and your blood pressure is because if either of those is too high, it may increase your risk of dying over time. However, the risk dramatically varies as different human beings have different ideal cholesterol and blood pressure levels. For example in older adults, their arteries tend to calcify and thus require more pressure to move blood through their system. For these patients, higher blood pressure is thus a necessary physiologic compensation of the body, and commonly when their blood pressure is lowered with medications to bring it into the “ideal range,“ the reduced blood flow to the brain will cause those patients to pass out and seriously injure themselves (this is a very common pharmaceutical injury in the elderly). 

A Midwestern Doctor continues to explore how and where to choose whether to maximize sensitivity–or specificity.

In modern medicine, there has been a consistent bias to continually lower the cut-off points for sensitivity and specificity, and over the years using blood pressure as an example, the acceptable threshold has been repeatedly lowered. As a result, many individuals who are told they absolutely must take blood pressure medicines or have an immediate risk of dying, fifty years ago would not have even been considered candidates for blood pressure medications.  

As you might have guessed, this bias is a result of pharmaceutical corruption within medicine, because as thresholds are lowered, this makes more individuals eligible for drugs and thereby causes more and more to be sold. One of the best examples is statins being recommended for everyone to lower healthy cholesterol levels on the basis of non-existent evidence voted through by committees composed of scientists taking money from statin companies. The continually increasing sensitivity for requiring “preventive” medicines leads to the curious tradition we have now where the majority of the population is on multiple medications, many of which do not benefit the patients and in combination significantly increase the likelihood of death or disability for the patient. 

Discernment

I’ve been aware of the value of sensitivity and specificity to science, where sensitivity contributes to brilliant field observations by Biologists capable of documenting events that could not have been witnessed without the presence of someone willing to transcend pre-existing assumptions and beliefs.  Some of the world’s best naturalists, such as America’s John Muir, wrote:

“Most people are on the world, not in it — have no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them — undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate.”

Mankind has become master of specificity, sometimes to such a degree that we lose touch with our inner spiritual core and sense of meaning, purpose, and connection to others.  In our quest for certainty, we have risked losing our ability to trust our own hearts, minds, souls, and spirits.

For those of us who have been in need of support from others when in incredibly complex, unique, complicated situations, we hopefully had the benefit of witnessing the kindness, compassion, and discernment of those capable of perceiving our specific needs–through the broader lens of sensitivity.

Two Step Process

We can hone our intuitive discernment by alternating between optimal Sensitivity and Specificity.   Sensitivity provides us with the ability to sense things we didn’t even know we were looking for, and we can develop this deep listening capability by regularly practicing mind-clearing meditation exercises.  Mind clearing practice can just take a few minutes, during which time any thoughts or feelings that arrive are immediately cleared away.  This kind of mental clearing practice can take the form of imagining a clear blue sky with no intrusive thoughts–or clouds.  The moment thoughts–or clouds–arrive, one simply clears the sky back to blue sky again.

One of my favorite Specificity training exercises is simply a matter of asking High Self / Divine Guidance, “What message do you have for me right now?” or “What can I best be doing right now?”  The goal of this exercise is to receive very specific information that is timely, useful, and inspirational.  It may be primarily practical, and that can be excellent!  Such information might feel like you are receiving a kind of download, which is also just fine.  You can trust that you have what you need, and that you will continue to have what you need each step of the way.

Putting these two steps together of Sensitivity followed by Specificity can feel a lot like taking one step, and then another.  By going back and forth between the two, tremendously improved intuitive discernment is possible that is fully capable of addressing whatever situations arise.

And of course I also recommend asking at every opportunity, “How good can it get?”
