CAN PEOPLE TELL WHEN THEY ARE BEING LISTENED TO ON TELEPHONES?
In 1994, while living in Singapore, I made a call to the USA and after hanging up I picked up the phone again to make another call, but to my disbelief I was able to listen to my entire call being played back to me. Indeed, a friend told me that even back then, everything was being monitored and recorded . . . .
“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme…”
More like rap these days . . . . . .
I LOVE when this happens 
cool synch…
here it is
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy technique that helps people heal from trauma and other distressing experiences:
- How it works
During EMDR, a patient focuses on a memory while moving their eyes in a specific pattern or listening to a sound. The patient then reports any new thoughts that emerge. The therapist uses standardized procedures to determine the focus of each set of eye movements. The process continues until the patient no longer finds the memory distressing.
- Benefits
EMDR can help patients:
-
Process upsetting memories, thoughts, and feelings
-
Get relief from PTSD symptoms
-
Start to heal
-
See things from a different perspective
-
Effectiveness
EMDR is considered an effective and evidence-based treatment for PTSD. Many clinical trials have shown that EMDR can be faster than other methods.
- Who can use it
EMDR can be used by adults and children. It can also be effective in a variety of settings, including in-person sessions, weekly sessions, or intensive group sessions.
- History
EMDR was developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Francine Shapiro."
" EMDR has several advantages.
- It works. Dozens of studies have found that EMDR is effective."
This is research cited by the Somnee organization to back up the claimed effectiveness of their Somnee headset. I have been using it for over a week and my experience has been extremely positive thus far, for sleeping, dreaming and some lucidity.
From the study:
These findings provide evidence that frequency specific personalized electrical brain stimulation offers a promising method for optimizing human sleep quality. Moreover, these effects were especially prominent in those with the highest ratings of insomnia, suggesting a potential future therapeutic opportunity, once there is replication of these findings in a larger cohort.
The Muse Headband folks aren’t resting on their existing technology and keep adding to their offerings. This looks interesting. Should be available sooner rather than later.
Abstract
The ability to realize that you’re dreaming — lucid dreaming — has value for personal goals and for consciousness research. One route to lucid dreaming is to first undergo pre-sleep training with sensory cues and then receive those cues during REM sleep. This method, Targeted Lucidity Reactivation (TLR), does not demand extensive personal effort but generally requires concurrent polysomnography to guide cue delivery. Here we translated TLR from a laboratory procedure to a smartphone-based procedure without polysomnography. In a first experiment, participants reported increased lucid dreaming with TLR compared to during the prior week. In a second experiment, we showed increased lucidity with TLR compared to blinded control procedures on alternate nights. Cues during sleep were effective when they were the same sounds from pre-sleep training. Increased lucid dreaming can be ascribed to a strong link formed during training between the sounds and a mindset of carefully analyzing one’s current experience.

So I just discovered a neat feature in the Oura Ring arena that measures Cardiovascular Age. You can take a brisk six minute walk and it gives a reading for how your CV functions in relation to your age. Useful, I believe, for some of us elderbarrys.
brilliant! love the detail “(…) get a little out of breath for best results!”
Is there such thing as remembering or is it just a form of imaginative thinking.? I recently received this in an email:
Here is a little experiment that illustrates just how much we live in a state of mental hallucination. Seeing this can help you see through it.
So, whenever you think or talk about something that is not physically present with you, what are you really doing?
You are accessing your memory to recall the object, person, or circumstance.
But as we all know, memories are highly unreliable and almost always somewhat distorted.
As such, what we call remembering is actually an act of imagining.
For example, when I think about my children who are not at home as I write this, I am actually imagining them based on whatever memories come up.
In this way, everything that is not present right this moment is imagined.

Now let’s go a step further:
Let’s say there is a carton of orange juice in front of you.
When you observe the carton without thinking, you are present to it. It is as it is.
However, the moment your mind says “that’s a carton of orange juice”, you are back in imagination.
Why?
Because in order for you to know what something - anything - is, you need to go into your memory to retrieve this information.
Thus, you are imagining that the object before you is something called “a carton of orange juice” and all the mental associations that go along with it.
Even when your children are in front of you and you think “look at my lovely children”, you are again using your mind to recall (i.e. imagine) a past story for both of them.
Then your mind projects imaginary meaning and qualities onto your children that doesn’t actually exist in reality.
—
This is the mechanism through which most of us spend 99% of our waking hours hallucinating vividly - only we have no idea this is happening.
We think of this as reality, because we have been conditioned to understand this way.
But in actual fact, we are hallucinating every time we think about, recall or give meaning to anything - even ourselves!
When you think of who you are, realize that anything you think of that you cannot observe is imagined.
And even features of yourself you observe and label, the label and its implied meaning are both imagined.
Thus, your entire past and your identity are but mental fabrications.
So you see, what seemed like a solid, real world to a well-defined “you” just a few minutes ago is all just a hallucination, and this means both the world and you.
Everything that you know is imagined, except knowing itself.
So if all past is imagined, can you truly know what this moment is or where you are?
Can you even truly know who or what you are?
Of course not.
To know any of these things requires a past, which in turn requires the use of imagination.
As such, none of us can ever know what any of this really is.
It is only within this not knowing that we discover the pathway to somewhere deeper, somewhere more real.
Realizing that you are hallucinating the world and yourself is the first step on the path to enlightenment.
So, I thought about this and checked out a few sources online:
Any thoughts?
Thank you for this treasure Dear Brother
it all expands when you let go of any preconceived ideas and, in open awareness, co-create the future by seeing “the future”, thrugh your intuitive channel 
brilliant text, thank you for sharing @_Barry ! I teach this in my intuitive classes to help people who think they see nothing when they close their eyes to look inside. When I ask them to visualize 3 images, they can access their alpha brain state and indeed see what I ask them to see. This is just the warmup
Brilliant is right!
Took the words right out of my mouth
AMEN
AMEN^(

Muse headband now measures Alpha Peak cognitive strength and Brain Recharge, apparently having something to do with resiliency. Looking good for a senior.
