How Good Can it Get?
Enjoy the Rise of the Mandela
Effect
"The task is not so much
to see what no one has yet seen;
but to think what nobody has yet thought,
about that which everybody sees."
― Erwin Schrödinger
The ‘Mandela Effect’
term, coined by Fiona Broome in 2010, has been riveting peoples’
attention, and bringing awareness to divergent memories, reality glitches,
and alternate histories. It’s been taking off at an exponential
pace between July 2015 and July 2016, as we can see when viewing the Google
Trends graph for “Mandela Effect” for that time
period.
What this means is that for the first time since some of us have been
talking about reality shifts, this topic is getting ready to burst onto the
public scene. Part of the “down” side of all the
publicity is that some web sites and self-professed gatekeepers of truth,
such as the Snopes coverage
of the Mandela Effect, have jumped to the conclusion that the Mandela
Effect can be explained away as simply being false memories, or what some
psychologists call “confabulation.”
Dolly & Jaws in Moonraker
As explanations for reality shifts and Mandela Effects go,
“confabulation” might not be the worst, but it
definitely does not explain why, for example, some people remember a scene
from the James Bond movie, Moonraker, in which a young blonde girl with
pigtail braids and braces shares a romantic moment with the character
“Jaws”—with both of them noticing how they
share a good deal of metal in their smiles. Now there is no such scene
because the blonde girl, “Dolly” no longer wears
braces in the movie at all. This is confounding to San Diego City Beat's
Tom Siebert Technology
and Memory Down the Rabbit Hole who noticed this change to that
memorably classic-yet-cheesy scene. Tom Siebert explains, "It's not just
me who is blown away by this. I asked Roberta Lipp, author of The Ultimate
James Bond Fan Book. She too was flabbergasted by the "disappearance" of
the braces. It makes no sense for the braces to be gone, both visually from
memory and as movie plot device—the braces are the reason the
beauty bonds with the beast, it makes sense organically to the plot and
it's a visual gag to boot. I know this is not a confabulation in my head
and several other people have backed me on it."
Employing Occam’s Razor to seek out the simplest explanation for
why so many people would remember a movie character wearing braces who
apparently now never featured such dental equipment in Moonraker at any
time—it’s looking to me a lot more like we are indeed
witnessing alternate histories in much the way that physicists such as Dr.
Stephen Hawking informed us we might some day be able to see. And it is
starting to seem possible that we might be able to experience beneficially
adaptive changes in similar fashion to the way that Dr. John Cairns
observed bacteria are able to produce beneficially adaptive mutations in
times of need—such as E. coli suddenly being able to digest
lactose when it’s had no prior genetic history nor ability to do
any such thing. And in similar fashion to the way plants are able to
photosynthesize with remarkable efficiency in our amazingly fine-tuned
universe. Simply put, the simplest explanation for all these amazing things
might be that rather than living entirely according to classical physics,
everything can be observed to have a quantum nature.
As to why only some of us are affected by noticing the Mandela Effect and
so forth, I feel this is something we can expect when there is a change in
global consciousness. Now that we share an increased sense of global
consciousness through the internet, for the first time in human history we
are able to see if anyone else remembers something that we
recall—and for the first time there is a good chance we are able
to find people who do.
In response to my query last month as by what name people most prefer to
use for this phenomena, here are some of the terms people responded with
when writing back to me:
I am used to “reality shifts,” so I have a bias in
favor of that, but there is something to like in each of these. For
example, I like the phrase "reality residue" as it gives one the sense of
having visited alternate realities and parallel worlds--and for a brief
while, feeling there is truth in more than one. I write about walking with
feet in both worlds in my book, Reality Shifts: When Consciousness Changes
the Physical World, since I know that feeling well! This is the experience
of attaining lucidity, and this is the way it feels when we start living
lucidly.

"You're so insightful, positive and personable. You helped me to refocus
my thoughts and energies. I really appreciate the positive energies that
you were able to channel through me as well as your reminders to remain
positive--and to question and even challenge--how good CAN it get! After
our reading, things fell into place and I have no doubt that your reading
had a lot to do with it. My angels were watching over me and showing me
just how good it can get! With your help I feel that I was cleansed and
opened up to the infinite possibilities that surround me. My positive

Amazing Rise of the Mandela
Effect
The phrase “Mandela Effect” has been
trending upward at an exponential rate between July 2015 and July 2016, as
seen when viewing a graph produced by Google Trends. Part of what is
fueling the rapid increase in discussion about this phenomena is that some
of the reporters writing articles about the Mandela Effect are experiencing
it, too. One reporter noticed that an oft-remembered cheesy love sequence
between two characters in the James Bond movie, Moonraker, no longer
exists–despite his recollection (and mine) that
“Dolly has braces”!
While many are surprised by the recent surge of interest in the
“Mandela Effect,” those of us who have been
researching and writing about this phenomenon of reality shifts and
alternate histories have long been anticipating just such a rise of
interest. The “Mandela Effect” is named after South
African anti-apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela, who became a topic of
interest in the year 2010 by people noticing with surprise that he was
alive at that time–since many people remembered him having died
while incarcerated. I had published similar accounts of the dead being
observed alive again in my 1999 book, Reality Shifts, and reporting
first-hand accounts on the RealityShifters website from people all around
the world noticing many dead people alive again. Observations of dead
people alive again are just one of many types of Mandela Effects, with
other notable examples including changes to song lyrics, movie dialogue,
movie scenes, physical geography, physiological anatomy, and product names.
The Mandela Effect is one of those things most people won’t
believe in until it happens to them. Like falling in love or going through
heartbreak, the Mandela Effect is something you have to experience in order
to fully embrace. And even then, it often takes more than one or two
experiences to break through the resistance most of us have to accepting
the existence of something that fundamentally challenges our unspoken
foundational assumption that facts and historical events don’t
change.

Brent Marchant talks with Cynthia Sue Larson about the
principles characterizing conscious creation, and how they appear in
cinema. This fascinating interview delves into a discussion of how movies
provide us with examples of how we formulate beliefs, go beyond surface
perceptions, and understand our relationship to the world in spirit in our
lives. Marchant shares examples of stories that teach us how we can harness
the power of choice and free will, face our fears, evolve our beliefs, and
benefit from our interconnectedness.
BRENT MARCHANT is the award-winning author of “Get the
Picture?!: Conscious Creation Goes to the Movies,” and
“Consciously Created Cinema: The Movie Lover’s Guide
to the Law of Attraction,” describing how the practice of
conscious creation is illustrated in film. Brent blogs about metaphysical
cinema and self-empowerment topics, and is a guest contributor for numerous
magazines. Brent is a movie review radio correspondent on Frankiesense &

Astonishing Power of the Mind
Daphne
Alfter, Germany
That is a good idea about your dog! It is lovely that he can
see clearly again thanks to your supporting thoughts and helpful like-
thinking friends. That's a lovely new way of healing! And perfectly
possible. It reminds me of when I was a teenager and was upset about
something. I broke out in large red spots and my father took me to the
doctor. In the waiting room I played about with the spots on my arm. I have
no idea why I did that but I placed my finger on a place on my arm where
there were no spots and a spot appeared there! I repeated this many times
all over both arms, saying, There's a spot and a spot appeared! Another
spot disappeared to make room for the new spot. When I later saw the doctor
he explained to me that is was psychosomatic. The mind is indeed very
powerful. Another time when I was about ten years old, my mother gave a
friend of mine from a higher class a lift home. She began to talk about the
symptoms of diphtheria. The more she talked about them, the greater the
impression they made on me. I suddenly developed all the symptoms of
diphtheria and got a panic attack. My mother had to stop the car and a
policeman came up to us and I told him I had diphtheria and could hardly
breathe! They were both able to reassure me that I didn't have this illness
and I quickly calmed down and was well again. After that my mother decided
not to give this girl a lift again! Many years ago something needle-like
went into my finger when I was gardening. I never saw what it was. It might
have been an insect bite or a thorn. I didn't see any insect and there was
no thorn in my finger. It hurt very much and quickly swelled up. My doctor
was no longer on duty and I didn't want to disturb him as it was the time
of an important football match. Next day we went by car and boat to
England. I sat in the car and spent the whole time looking at the swelling
on my finger. It had filled with pus. I showed it to my husband and
children and said to them, "Look, it is getting bigger and bigger all the
time!" They looked at in in wonder. As soon as we arrived at my parents' I
raced to the doctor. He was amazed when he saw it. It was really big and he
quickly called his colleague to look at it. He gasped in amazement. I got
pills and it took a very long time to heal. A few years ago exactly the
same thing happened again with my foot. I was walking barefoot in our
garden when a needle seemed to go into my foot. Again I saw nothing. This
time I reacted differently. I said to myself, "I am certainly not going
through all that again!" I completely ignored it and asked my body to heal
it quickly, which it did!
Note from Cynthia: Thank you for sharing your experiences having
to do with the amazing power of the mind. People who are easily
suggestible, as can be determined by hypnotizability tests, seem likely to
be susceptible to psychosomatic symptoms as you encountered with diphtheria
and the red dots on your skin--and I suspect those same people might also
be excellent candidates for experiencing the benefits of the Placebo
Effect, such as the Harvard Program in Placebo Studies (PiPS). I mention
the connection between the amazing benefits from placebos and a healing
method of quantum jumping to a preferred reality in my book, "Quantum
Jumps," including summaries of several research studies, and some quantum
jumping exercises to play with and benefit from this.

My Wife Received a Text Message I Never Sent
Mauricio
Caracas, Venezuela
I am from Venezuela, and would like to consult you an
experience that I have had recently and maybe you can enlighten me.
I while ago, I had thought to send a text by mobile phone to my wife when I
was returning home and getting closer, but I did not actually send any text
messages.
Once I arrived at home my wife told me, “I have just received
your text!” I said, “I did not send you
anything.” She took her phone and showed me the text on her
phone—and then she immediately took my phone, and there was the
sent text! I know for sure that I did not send that message on my phone,
unless I am getting mad! Could I have traveled to my future, and sent that
text message in that realm without noticing it?
Note from Cynthia: Thank you for sharing your experience in which
your wife received a text message that you never sent. While it may have
only seemed strange to your wife that you denied having sent it, it must
have seemed extremely strange to you that she got a text you know you never
sent! This sounds to me like an excellent example of your having moved
between a couple of different realities. It seems to me that we constantly
move between different realities without noticing changes, much the same
way we go to a movie theater and watch individual frames of film projected
on a screen one at a time, but get the impression we are watching events
smoothly flowing.
Thank-you for your wonderful and inspiring videos. I have
observed the Mandela Effect for several years. One of my most profound
experiences happened a few years back when I noticed on Myspace that a girl
from the Middle East had me listed as one of her top twenty favorite
musicians. The next day I went back to her site. To my surprise, while the
graphics were identical, her name was different and I was no longer on her
list. Around the same time I found two paintings done by German artists
dedicated to me, one of them including lines from one of my songs. I copied
one of them and put it in a scrapbook in two parts. When I went to show it
to my nephew some time later, the painting was there but the part that
mentioned me had either fallen out or vanished. I went back online to
recopy it and it could not be found. I believe the universe allows for
greater differences in realities for people you're not likely to meet or
talk to. The other painting will still occasionally pop up, but my attempts
to contact the artist have brought no results. While I've been a full time
entertainer my entire adult life I am very far from a household name. Yet I
have more than a few times discovered things on line which would indicate a
far greater success. A song I wrote in the 90s is called PARALLEL REALITY.
https://youtu.be/WRYdICLy0wM
Among other tales, I recently found out that a close longtime friend has an
entirely different detailed memory of the year and place we met. When I was
18 I had a gig singing at a summer resort in a town I'd never been to
before. A girl I got to know told me that she had met me there the summer
before. I could go on. Thanks again for the wisdom you share and I look
forward to reading your books. P.S. Does anyone out there remember Hanukkah
being spelled with only one k?
Note from Cynthia: Thanks so much for writing and for sharing
your song about Parallel Reality--I love it! Thanks also for sharing your
experiences seeing changes to the painting that used to include lines from
your song, and your friend having an entirely different detailed
recollection how the two of you first met. Now that we're entering the
Quantum Age, it's time we realized that the past can be fairly changeable,
and lots of people are starting to notice alternate histories. Great
question about the spelling of Hanukkah. It looks the same to me, but
that's not to say lots of people haven't noticed a change in its
spelling!
Snoopy Watch Synchronicity
Tracey
USA
I have a story that I want to tell you and thought of you
when it happened. I was at work yesterday in our break room and this woman
said oh my watch is five minutes slow again in passing. And I thought she
needs a battery and then began thinking about when I was a kid how watches
didn't have batteries and we wound them. I then thought about my Snoopy
watch I had and my sister had a Mickey Mouse watch. (I didn't say any of
this out loud.) So right now I don't have a watch to wear because my band
broke and I cannot check the time on my own because I'm a blackjack dealer
and can't step away from my table. One of my managers walked by so I asked
her what time it was. And she said to me. "Looks like it's time for you to
get a Snoopy wind up watch" I about fell over! My question is is this law
of attraction? Synchronicity? Just keep thinking I'm supposed to get
something out of this but I don't know what. Haven't thought about a Snoopy
wind up watch since I was a kid and now I'm 45. Lol. So it's been a while.
This wasn't her reading my mind. She made comment about the watch half an
hour after I had thought about it. :) Crazy!
Note from Cynthia: Wow, I love your experience! One thing we
least think about with regard to synchronicity and reality shifts is who we
truly are. We tend to assume we're constrained to our bodies, and that we
think entirely with our brain--yet the truth of the matter is that we reach
out to and embrace others as part of our shared identity in ways that
enable us to think along with them, much like birds of a feather flocking
together. Whether your manager was 'reading your mind' or you were 'reading
hers' doesn't matter so much as the underlying truth that you are able to
think with others and share information.
Picture of my Dad and his Rank Changed
Rusty
Greeneville, Tennessee, USA
My father was a drill sergeant during Vietnam. Even though I
was born in 1981, was still raised by a former drill sergeant which lead to
me doing things just a hair different than everyone else. Little things
like taking my hat off the minute I walk inside a building, noting time in
24 hour increments instead of a split 12 using am/pm designations, and
noting dates as day/month/year instead of month/day year. I’ve
done all of those things from a very young age. My first hint that
something had changed was one day back in December, when I noticed that my
watch had slipped into AM/PM time. No biggie, I just reset it back to 24
hour time and didn’t give it a second thought—until
December 23. It was a Wednesday, and my wife was getting ready for work
when she asked me for a check to pick up some stuff that we had in lay away
for Christmas (we don't celebrate as family until New Years, so it wasn't
pressing). I wrote the check and dated it like I had my entire life. She
looked at it and handed it back to me, asking me if I were OK, and pointing
out the date. I'm like "You've been my friend for 20 years and we've been
together for 8 years. I've done this my entire life.” She just
chuckled and took the check. This kind of messed with me so I went back
through my carbon copies of the checks, and in the three years worth of
copies I had, almost every one of them was dated month/day/year. I was
like, “What the #*$)%.” I told my best friend about
it over a hard apple cider, and he asked if I were OK. I'm like "Yeah, I
just feel like I’m losing it,” and he's like,
“You must to be drinking hard cider.” I looked at it
and told him I have a gluten allergy (I have for like 10 years), and he's
like, “Wtf? We shared a pitcher of beer two weeks ago?!”
When he said that, I could kind of remember it happening, because I had a
hair too much and I remember the bartender asking if he could call my wife
for me. So David joking brought up the Mandela Effect and still brings it
up every time he sees me—but the more I learn/research/think
about it I think it fits. Then in January I noticed that a picture of my
dad had changed in my hallway. It was taken in Germany during the Vietnam
War when he was already a sergeant standing propped up against his tank,
except in this picture he was a corporal standing propped up against a tank
recovery vehicle (it's still a tracked vehicle like a tank except no turret
instead it has a fixed boom for towing tanks in for repair and for putting
tracks back on in the field). When I asked Dad about it, he says that he
was offered the rank of sergeant to re up his contract while he was in
Germany, but decided that he had been away from the farm for too long. He
even showed me his dress uniform with corporal rank on the shoulders. *mind
blown*
Note from Cynthia: Thanks for writing to me and sharing your
experiences with the Mandela Effect and reality shifts. I can totally
appreciate the way you keep time on a 24 hour clock and write the day,
month and year, as these things make a certain degree of logical sense from
an efficiency standpoint. To see that suddenly there's been a change in the
way you've always done these things definitely stands out as an "Aha!"
moment that "you're not in Kansas anymore." The showstopper is that picture
of your dad that now shows him dressed as a corporal, not a
sergeant--standing next to a tank recovery vehicle, not a tank. And now
he's always ever only been a corporal?! Wow!
Remembering Larry Hagman Having Died in the 1980s
Barbara
USA
I know a lot about the reality shifts. I experienced the
moment that it happened. You are the only one that I have come across who
remembers the death of Larry Hagman. In my reality, he died in the 80's
because of liver failure. He had a liver transplant, and his body rejected
it, and he passed from complications of that surgery. I also remember
Ernest Borgnine passed in the 80's. His wife Tova was on a shopping
channel selling cosmetics. She and the host were speaking about her
husband's death. I felt so badly for her that I purchased her Tova
cosmetics.
Note from Cynthia: Thanks for sharing what you remember about
Larry Hagman's death in the 80s, due to liver failure, following
complications from surgery. You and I aren't the only ones who noticed that
Larry Hagman died and was later alive again, as I first mentioned in my
1999 Reality Shifts book, and a few years later in a survey conducted on
the realityshifters site in July 2005 shows:
http://realityshifters.com/pages/archives/jul05.html Thanks also for
sharing what you remember about Ernest Borgnine passing away in the 1980s
also. I've been noticing remarkable shifts in reality since the 1960s, and
am grateful that people are now talking about this subject. I'm also
grateful that scientific theories and experiments are starting to provide
us with a bit of an explanation regarding what is going on, at least as
well as could ever be expected when studying 'the science of miracles.'
;-)
Stevie Wonder Alive Again
John
Palm Desert, California, USA
Something weird is going on, because Stevie Wonder, the
blind piano player, died last year. I remember seeing it on the news! And
this year I find out he's still alive? I remember it on the news,
he’d just had a concert a week just before he died, which was a
shock to his fans. A week later at work, I heard on the radio from CBS news
that Stevie Wonder’s cause of death was from cancer. I was
living in California at the time. I forgot to write the date Stevie Wonder
died; I believe it was in July, because I remember thinking,
“Man, that sucks; he died and he'll miss the fire
works.” So it was somewhere between the last two to three days
of June and the first few days of July 2015. Another strange thing is that
the police cars in the 1980's used to say on the side frame just above the
driver side front tire, “To Serve and protect.” This
is what I noticed on the movie called the Terminator with big buff Arnold,
from the 1980’s. Anyway, I was watching the film I bought at a
thrift store, after 20 years I noticed that same slogan on the police car,
and noticed the slogan on the car was different; it said “To
serve and protect the community.” This is strange, because cop
cars didn't start having this until between 1995 & 2005.
Note from Cynthia: Thank you for describing what you remember
about Stevie Wonder having passed away in late June / early July shortly
after a concert performance. And that's interesting about the change to the
slogan on police cars!
Robert De Niro, Big Rig Wrecker Driver
Art
Texas, USA
I never shared this with anyone before. One day my big rig
broke down in NE Pennsylvania. I waited for quite a while and when I saw
who showed up you could have knocked me over with a feather. I looked
around for hidden cameras - there weren't any. It was none other than
Robert De Niro. It wasn't a lookalike. It wasn't someone like him. It was
him and he was driving a big rig wrecker. I stared at him so hard I nearly
bored a hole in his head. He had the talk, the facial expressions, the
mannerisms, everything! No question it was him. I was dumbfounded. Today I
know I had slipped into another timeline, a timeline where Robert had never
gone to Hollywood. He was always one of my favorite actors and this guy was
no close resemblance—it was him! I felt too stunned and awkward
to ask him too much. I knew I had likely already made him uncomfortable
from the intensity of my staring.
Note from Cynthia: Wow! What an amazing experience to have seen
Robert DeNiro in some other reality, as a big rig wrecker driver! I wonder
if he ever does method acting where he does a job for a while before doing
a movie--but I don't think I've heard of him doing that. How extraordinary!
This is such an amazing experience you had with the alternate Robert De
Niro, so I completely understand being so stunned at the time that it would
feel awkward to ask anything other than about matters at hand. I probably
would have been staring pretty intensely, too, and that would tend to make
someone feel a bit uncomfortable. I've not yet heard much about celebrities
being seen in other lives--but I have heard from people who've told me that
they've seen me doing things I don't have memories of having done--such as
giving a talk/lecture at UC Berkeley back in the early 1980s when I was
majoring in physics there at the time. So it seems perfectly possible that
any and all of us might from time-to-time be noticed in alternate lives
with different majors and careers! Over the years I've also heard from
people who have either seen themselves (going the opposite direction on a
road) or have been seen by others who swear they were wearing different
clothes or in a different place, doing different things. This has happened
too often to be dismissed, and clearly is evidence of something rather
significant, if these reports are to be taken seriously.
Shift in Dark Shadows and Highway Non-Crash
Dana
USA
I've had two vivid experiences. The first one happened in
1971 when I was 14 at the time. I went to see the first Dark Shadows film
after the soap went off the air in TV. In the film, the entire Collins
family was killed by a stake; I remember vividly that Joan Bennett's
character was staked in a large chair in the woods. That scene struck me as
strange, even in context with the film. Over the years I've the film edited
and unedited—nowhere does this scene exist—and no one
including the people I saw it with remember it. Minor, but it's always
bugged me. My second experience happened in the late 1980’s. I
was late picking up my wife; at that time I was racing down the highway
doing 95 in a 55 mph zone. I was stuck in the third lane with no way out,
when suddenly, about five car lengths ahead, a car from the second lane
forced it's way into the third. Suddenly every car in both lanes locked
their brakes and were swerving all over the road. With nowhere to go, I
knew I was dead. I locked the steering wheel straight ahead, closed my
eyes, and knew I was dead—understand there was no way through.
But nothing happened. I opened my eyes and saw the road was empty. I looked
in my rear view mirror to see all three lanes were stopped. There were cars
in the median, cars smashed into the ledge wall, there was no way through,
and here I was sailing along at 95 mph! Over the years I've heard that this
has happened to other people, but not to anyone I know personally. Well
that's my story. Love the newsletter and your YouTube site. Thank for all
you do.
Note from Cynthia: Thanks so much for sharing your experience
surviving what you expected would surely have been a deadly, high-speed car
crash at 95 mph, finding yourself somehow miraculously teleported to safety
on a clear and open road. While such a thing seems impossible, I have heard
of several similar teleportations-to-safety-when-about-to-crash experiences
over the years. I share them in my book, "Quantum Jumps," and also on the
"your stories" section of the realityshifters site at: http://www.realityshifters.com/pages/yourstories.htmlhttp://www.quantumjumps.com Your
experience noticing a missing scene in the Dark Shadows movie based on the
TV show is intriguing! It seems unlikely you were mixing this movie up with
anything else, and your impression of the missing scene seems quite vivid
and rather inexplicable--unless you actually watched some other version of
the movie in some other reality. I can relate to your experience, since
I've had experiences where movies I knew quite well used to include a
memorable scene unlike any other and which definitely was not part of any
other film or show--and later when I watched the film, the scene was gone.
Sadly, I think the nocebo effect is
more common than the placebo effect, but more and more people are finding
out about it which is wonderful. Twenty years ago my father got Motor
Neuron Disease and he went to a specialist. He gave my father a medical
book about MND and it said on the cover: strictly only for doctors. He said
my father might find it interesting so he read it. It gave a detailed
account of the various stages of the disease. After reading the book my
father's health deteriorated very rapidly and he died within six months.
Usually one lives for two years from the outset of this illness. About ten
years ago I was careless enough to have a flu vaccination. Two weeks
afterwards I got extremely ill. My doctor knew my father had had MND and
suggested I might have inherited it from him. He gave me the names of some
websites where I could find out more about MND! (I didn't do that!) That
night I lay in bed and couldn't go to sleep. I felt a few moments of
extreme terror at the thought of having it. But then I began to control my
mind. I said very strictly to myself that I certainly didn't have it! Two
weeks later I underwent electric shock treatment at a hospital to determine
whether I had it or not. The answer was a firm NO! The doctor then asked me
if I had had a flu vaccination recently and when I said I had, she said
that was probably the cause! I spent the next year in great pain and could
hardly move, sit or lie down. I have a very good doctor and he didn't want
to give me cortisone. I didn't want any pain killers as I wanted to keep an
eye on the pain. I decided to go traveling around the world to take my mind
off my illness and so I went all around Argentina, to Mallorca, Teneriffe
and many other places. I took homeopathic Medicine, said mantras, did faith
healing. Suddenly I was well again and didn't even notice it. If I had had
negative thoughts things would have turned out very differently, as we
create our reality with our thoughts. I watched my thoughts like a
hawk!
Note from Cynthia: Thank goodness you took a vacation to take
your mind of negative thoughts! It seems highly likely that you saved your
life, and I wish more doctors would be considerate toward patients, rather
than sharing worst-case scenarios. Here in America, with so many people
filing malpractice lawsuits, doctors are actually more likely to share such
bad news, thinking this way the patients have been warned. But what about
the terrible outcomes resulting from being 'warned'? Especially when the
warnings themselves, as you point out, bring on horrific cases of nocebo
effect! I am hoping that placebo/nocebo research at places like Harvard
will help sort this out, so doctors can stop being so negative and
un-hopeful.
Visiting a Restaurant for the First Time I’ve
Been to Before
Daphne
Alfter, Germany
We went for a day's outing to Linz, a pretty little town on
the River Rhine with many very old houses. We decided to have lunch in the
Spanish Restaurant there. We went inside and the waiter showed us to a
table for two and gave us each a menu. My husband said we had been here
before. I looked around but couldn't remember anything about it at all. I
tried really hard to remember it but couldn't. The waiter returned and took
our orders. I ordered hot tapas. Then I went to the washroom. I always
order my food first whenever I go to a restaurant and then I go to the
washroom after that. I went down some stone stairs and walked through a
room with tables and chairs for larger groups of people. Wine bottles were
on shelves next to the stone walls. There was quite a musty smell. I tried
really hard to remember all this. How could I have forgotten it? I went to
the washroom and when I came out I walked through the cellar room again and
up the stone steps and I remembered that I had been here before! It all
came back to me very clearly! I went back to our table and saw the waiter
handing us our menus. I said we have already had our menus but my husband
said, no, we just got them! I smiled, recognizing the reality shift, and
ordered hot tapas again!
Note from Cynthia: Thank you so much for sharing your experience
visiting a restaurant for the first time that you'd been to before! I'm
especially intrigued by the way you were striving to recall having been to
this particular restaurant previously when the waiter said he'd seen you
there before, and how only upon returning from the restroom after having
placed your order did it seem to be a bit familiar. I've also experienced
some reality shifts in which I go from a state of only remembering one
particular set of events, to remembering a different set of events as
having occurred (such as having previously visited a restaurant, or having
already placed an order for tapas). It seems when we go from remembering
things one way to remembering them another, we ourselves are experiencing
being in a superposition of states, such as we describe quantum
particles.
Cristiano Ronaldo Soccer Star Shift
Joanna
Rotterdam, Netherlands
I personally had an awkward shift with a very famous soccer
player, Cristiano Ronaldo. I clearly remember that I’ve read on
the gossip website that the "mysterious" mother of his child was a waitress
who he had met in Amsterdam. I clearly remember having conversations with
friends about it and reading about 20 times the gossip story on the
internet, thinking it must have been a pretty Dutch waitress from with
origin/background from the Netherland Antilles, because the kid actually
looks like he could be from such a background. How cool will that be! It
also seemed logical, because the girl moved to the United States of America
after he paid her 10 million, or something. A lot of Netherlands Antilles
people who I know are loving the United States—especially
Miami—because it’s close to the Netherlands Antilles.
Now it turns out that this story completely has gone from the internet. Not
a trace of it! Now it turned out to be a American waitress with an English
origin who he met in America!
Note from Cynthia: That's fascinating news about your remembering
how the mysterious mother of Cristiano Ronaldo's child having been from the
Netherlands before, yet now she's from the United States of America. And of
course, all signs of previous news reports of events the way you remember
them are now gone! Good job making note of this change, with the details
you recall from before. Chances are quite good that you're not the only one
who noticed this bit of news!
Hello,
I have recently come across your website and I have read only a few
articles of yours but I was led to you somehow almost immediately after I
began noticing things to be much different than I once thought. I have no
idea what is going on and I am still very confused and i just don't know
what to think about many things I am now just now learning and
experiencing. This is in regards to MEs. I have been noticing small things
throughout my life and have many interesting memories involving dreams from
what I was a child. I always eventually shrugged them off as my faulty
memory. I don't understand how these things could be occurring and why is
it that while some share my exact experience there are others who cant even
fathom the idea and assume I am losing my mind. I know I am not losing my
mind because I am more aware and my brain is working on a different level
than ever before in my life in a very good way. I have some very vivid
memories that I know for a fact could not be simple mistakes and I have
been doing research non stop for the past 3 days ever since I found out
about ME and almost all of them I experience myself. I'm very worried tho
because I suspect I may have died in other timelines if they do indeed
exist. I have lived a very reckless lifestyle up until about a year ago and
I have literally almost died in more than a handful of situations in my
life. Please I need help in understanding what is happening to me. I feel
so different but in a good way, the sun the moon the stars and just outside
in general looks and feels different to me. Twilight hour every day I am in
awe. I have an overwhelming feeling that this is so important and i don't
know what to do. Please I need help to understand why I feel so different
and why are so many things changing. I go from excited to optimistic to
scared to confused and I need to figure this thing out. Why am I
experiencing so many MEs? Thank you so much. I really want to figure this
all out and then try my best to help others going through the same thing as
me. Is it possible that all the people seeing these things are supposed to
work together for some kind of positive effect? I would really like to help
with that because I am concerned with how many are spinning into a negative
space over this just as i did briefly. I couldn't imagine someone feeling
crazy over this for weeks or months. I look forward to any information you
could link for me or any suggestions or guidance you are willing to
give.
— Robert
Dear Robert,
Thank you for writing to me concerning noticing things are much different
than you once thought. I'm so glad to know that as you say, "I feel so
different but in a good way." :-) First of all, I want to let you know
that you are not alone in having some very vivid memories of things being
different. I believe you, since I've also been noticing "Mandela Effects,"
reality shifts, and quantum jumps all my life, and increasingly since 1994.
PMH Atwater, one of the top researchers in the world in the field of
near-death experiences, noticed that people who had nearly died or
died-and-come-back again often notice what she called "reality shifts."
These shifts in reality can be gigantic, as you've surely noticed, and are
part of what we notice when we are awakened to our true identity through an
NDE (near-death experience), lucid dreaming, kundalini awakening, or
meditation. I've had all of the above, and thus it makes sense I'd be
experiencing so many MEs on pretty much a daily basis over the past 17
years. ;-) You can do a lot of good for people who are spinning into a
negative space about this by reaching out to them where you find them, and
letting them know it's going to be OK. It seems likely to me that this kind
of global awakening happens regularly in intervals throughout human
history, and those of us who keep our hearts open to love others and our
minds open to see what's truly real are the ones who can help ensure people
make it through the transitional times of awakening just fine. I wrote an
article about this for Parabola magazine, called "Comes True, Being Hoped
For." This is considered to be a sacred time of planetary awakening, and
you can learn more by looking up the Hopi Prophecy Rock.
lots of love and thanks,
— Cynthia

Hello Cynthia,
I watched a few of your YouTube talks about the Mandela effect and I wanted
to tell you what my experience has been. About 3 weeks ago I started
looking into this after watching a few other YouTube videos about it. I
began researching at first how the words in the Bible had changed. And then
begin noticing other things like logos and some of the changes in the
movies. It really freaked me out at first But as time went on I dug in a
little deeper. The next thing I looked into was the geographical changes of
the Earth. South America was about A Thousand Miles too far to the east.
Australia too far north and west and no North Pole. Then I Google the Milky
Way galaxy and find out our solar system is in the Orion belt and not in
the Sagittarius belt. Photographs of the Milky Way that I have seen online
completely different then what I remember. I go out and look at the stars
at night and their positions are different. I watched The History Channel
and sure enough Hitler has a wider mustache then what I remember.
Everything else in my life, seems very normal. My wife and family and
friends and where I live and all my surroundings just as it should be. I
don't know how or why this happened but I'm beginning to believe something
caused my consciousness, spirit or soul or whatever to slide into this
parallel universe. So my thinking is things on this world did not change.
Their location in the galaxy and there geography and history is what it
always has been. I watch television and people here totally accept what the
geography of this planet looks like. I feel like I am the one who moved.
Back on my Earth in the Sagittarius arm of the Galaxy everything there is
as I remember. And I would think there's another version of me back there
going through the same thing.
This is some wild and crazy stuff and I just wanted to know what your
thoughts are about this. Thank you for taking your time. Sincerely,
— Sam
Dear Sam,
Thank you for writing to me, sharing some of your experiences noticing
alternate histories.
I've been studying these kinds of shifts in reality since the 1990s, and
I've written the monthly RealityShifters newsletter about this phenomena,
as well as numerous articles and several books. I'm aware of how startling
it can be to witness these kinds of shifts, so I can empathize with how
unsettling it can seem.
My take on what is going on is that you and I and everyone else are
continuously shifting between realities. Recently--in large part due to the
ease of fact-checking and memory-checking via the internet--more and more
people are realizing that we're each not mis-remembering things, but rather
experiencing what some physicists believe to literally be true: the
experience of living in a superposition of states. Sometimes, we might even
remember things 'both ways,' when we recall a couple of mutually exclusive
past sequences of events. Here is a link to all issues published of my
RealityShifters ezine:
http://www.realityshifters.com/pages/news.html
Dear Cynthia,
I have now got the audio book for Reality Shifts. I just have a couple of
more questions, linked to this. Please may you advise me re: the
following: (1) I have seen you also have a more recent audio/book entitled
'Quantum Jumps.' This looks to be on a very similar (if not identical)
topic. Please can you tell me if it is advisable to also get this
audiobook? If yes, how should I use the exercises? As in should I first use
the exercises from Reality Shifts, or is it more useful to mix the
exercises from both, etc? (2) I have noticed that you strongly advise us to
regularly ask "how good can it get." I slightly worry that if my past was
as good as it possibly could have been, I may well not be living where I
am, or in my current experiences, etc. From what I have read via Fred Alan
Wolf and others, your 'present' would stay the same, but your 'past' would
be different? It seems strange that I could literally wake up elsewhere
with totally different people around me, as if I'd been teleported some
place else! Please share with me your gut feelings here. Many thanks in
advance. I don't want to sound too negative here, so I'd like to share
that I like others you mention, have seen a TV show which nobody else seems
to do know about! It was actually about an Out of Body Experience
experiment and as this has been a big interest of mine previously, I was
very surprised that no-one else knew about it! I am even more alarmed when
researching The Mandela Effect, (something I hadn't even heard of, before I
saw one of your Youtube vids) that many have reported anomalies, such as in
the Snow White Movie when the evil queen says: Magic Mirror on the wall. I
like many others are sure this was: Mirror, Mirror on the wall! In the
Shrek movie it is actually 'Mirror Mirror on the Wall' too. *:-O surprise
There is also that quote in the Empire Strikes Back too. ("No I am your
father," instead of how most remember it: "Luke I am your Father"). This is
really something and gives me some real hope that we can shift reality, or
that the past can be changed! See: https://www.google.co.uk/#q=mirror+mirror+on+the+wall+film+youtube
Thanks for all you are doing and have done in this area!
— Mark
Dear Mark,
Thanks for your email! (1) Yes, the topics for my books Reality Shifts and
Quantum Jumps are indeed similar, though these two books are written from
different perspectives. While Reality Shifts explores how one feels when
"walking with feet in two worlds" with the emotional, psychological
sensations associated with experiencing what often at first feels like
spontaneous, random shifts in reality--Quantum Jumps delves into
laboratory-tested and scientifically proven techniques to experience
instantaneous transformation in specific areas of self-transformation.
Whereas Reality Shifts might be considered a "right brain" book, Quantum
Jumps could be called a "left brain" book, and together they provide a more
comprehensive and complete picture. The exercises from both can be mixed as
intuitively feels right to you, or you can listen to Quantum Jumps when
feeling more mentally focused, and Reality Shifts when feeling more
daydreamy. (2) I definitely advise you to keep asking "How good can it
get?" to harness imagination and your ability to provide yourself with
self-guidance from your highest levels of consciousness. Asking this
question helps prevent problems from inadvertently setting intentions that
are too narrow, short-term, or purely self-serving without honoring a
longer-term, fuller and more harmoniously interconnected experience. My gut
feeling is that we can all trust our highest, largest, most comprehensive
levels of consciousness, and in so doing we will experience different
pasts, as well as occasional instantaneous transformations in the present
that feel miraculous and blessed. I've recently created YouTube videos to
clarify confusion some YouTubers have regarding the "Mandela Effect" being
a recent development that might have been caused by scientists at Cern.
Actually, the Mandela Effect has been around since the dawn of human
history, as has been documented by Tibetan Buddhist monks, Indian yogis,
and numerous indigenous shamans from first nations peoples the world over.
With love and thanks,
— Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,
Recently I went through your article Tips for changing the past. So my question
is, can I travel into my past mentally and change the house where I spent
my childhood days and the college where I graduated? Regards,
— Sasy
Dear Sasy,
You can travel to your past in dreams and daydreams and meditations,
spending time in dreams, daydreams and meditations. While some people
who make such journeys subsequently notice changes in reality based on
those journeys, one's success at seeing changes depends on many factors.
Sincerely,
— Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,
So, through meditation technique can I change my house where I spent my
childhood days?
— Sasy
Dear Sasy,
While such things are possible, they may not seem easy. The degree of ease
depends upon alignment of levels of consciousness within oneself, with an
overall feeling of need for such change.
Sincerely,
— Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,
I've read your articles about the changing the past and have recently
started to regret not attending an event last year. It doesn't affect my
life in any major way however the emotional impact is really big because I
just wish I had gone. How would I go about changing the past so I actually
did go? I've read that acting as if I did would help but there isn't
anything that would be different in my current situation if I did so it's
difficult to know how I would act. I've contacted you before and found your
response helpful so was hoping for your advice. Best wishes,
— C
Dear C,
While I've not (yet!) had a similar experience to provide a 'how to' guide
to insert a 'new' past experience into one's life, what I have encountered
numerous times is awareness that I am in a reality which clearly does
include my having had different experiences than those I remember in my
past. We can see that I'm clearly not the only one undergoing such
experiences, as increasing numbers of people are noticing such things as
previously dead celebrities being reported alive again (thus we have the
"Mandela Effect"), books and movies having different titles, characters,
and dialogue--and many of the other numerous types of reality shifts I've
been writing about in my books and articles and website since 1999. What
clearly seems easiest to occur is for you at some point to find that people
remember your having attended that 2015 event. You might begin having some
memories of this (along with your existing memories of what you
alternatively had been doing)--but it's possible the first sign you'll have
that you actually did attend this event is that others will contact you,
following up on having met you there. As far as 'how to' attain such
results, I write about gaining a reality shifting state of mind in my book,
"Reality Shifts," which is for people more interested in the poetry and
flow of life than too much of the scientific nitty-gritty, and I write
about more of a process approach in my more left-brain-focused book,
"Quantum Jumps." When I work with clients, I provide individualized
coaching to help ensure best results based on the unique qualities and
point-of-view (aka: divine gift) each person views and changes the world
with.

Nourishing Your Whole Self: A Cookbook with Feelings
by Marci Izard
"Nourishing Your Whole Self" is a refreshingly unique
cookbook that presents opportunities to experience the way different
combinations of food ingredients can help us feel. Food blogger and cooking
show host, Marci Izard, shares some of her personal favorite recipes that
inspire feelings of being: refreshed, peaceful, comforted, treated, and
indulged. These recipes include relatively simple and easy-to-obtain
ingredients, and can be made fairly quickly, and all of them provide
marvelous alternatives to mindless fast-food eating with its typically
unfortunate feelings. I love how Marci introduces each recipe, often
providing a hint of how a dish might nourish our whole being. For Onion and
Spinach Soup, she writes, "Just as slicing onions can make you cry, eating
them can stir up feelings as well. It's nothing to fear; each brothy bowl
is warm and healing. You may experience a subtle catharsis." With a recipe
like this, from the "Comforted" section, one indeed feels comforted, cared
for, and transformed. Sometimes simple ingredients are the best, and this
soup has seemingly magical qualities of simultaneously grounding and
transporting. While a food processor is called for to make dishes such as
Zesty Kale Chips (from the "Peaceful" section), most recipes simply require
such typical kitchen appliances such as a blender, mixer, refrigerator,
oven and stove. Most of the recipes are vegetarian or can be converted to
vegetarian, and many can be converted to gluten-free, if need be. People
interested in reducing or eliminating sugar from their diets can similarly
make substitutions for the "Treated" (dessert) recipes. The design and
layout of this book make it a snap to find recipes of interest, in order to
make sure to have required ingredients on hand, and a joy to leave out on
the coffee table to gaze at the beautiful images of freshly cooked meals. I
love the selection of quotes included together with each recipe, such as
this one by Mantak Chia and William U. Wei, "If you cannot sing or laugh
before a meal, skip it until you can." This marvelous advice can make all
the difference in ensuring one's digestive system is ready to enjoy full
benefits of a meal, and I feel a sense of a blessing being conferred in the
positive words shared with every dish. I love the combinations of tastes
and textures in these recipes, that help to make each dish stand out as a
feast in itself. Marci clearly knows how to make the most of basic
ingredients in ways that are as delicious as they are nutritious and
soothing to the soul. I highly recommend this book!
