Hypnagogia- what happened to the Knudsens?

Dude..What's 'Gog?' a person? or a place?

You mean 'Magog?'

No Dude 'Hyp-na-gog-ia'

Those who predict by the new moons,

Stand up and save you from what will come upon you.

The 'Shape of Water' [2017] a movie by Guillermo del Toro, is set in 1962 during the height

the 'cold war'..[I have covered this 'Fish-Man' phenomena in My 'Ancient Fishgods' post from 2016 -as 'Dagon' the 'Philistine Deity' etc]

1962 was an important cinematic year, for young Jeff - teen years began..

'The Man who shot Liberty Valance' was released and spawned renewed interest 

in the 'Cowboy' genre.. and a source of quiz questions for generations to come..

Edmond O'Brien, who starred alongside Lloyd BRIDGES, was a childhood friend

of HARRY HOUDINI in NYC , and started His career as a Stage Magician

The 1962 Cowboy Movie;' Ride the High Country' directed by Sam Peckinpah, featured

a storyline about 'Elsa Knudsen' going missing..

Actress Mariette Hartley played Elsa..

Mariette Hartley was born Mary Loretta, a name she dislikes, in Weston, Connecticut. She was raised in accordance with the principles espoused by her behavioral psychologist grandfather, John B. Watson, who believed that children should never be held or cuddled. She says that the lack of warmth at home is what drove her to the theatre.        

[imdb]

John B Watson was infamous for his 'Little Albert' unethical experiments on children, and worked mostly 

at John Hopkins University...This University along with others in the American System.. incorporated many former Nazis into their research program after WW2....

'OPERATION PAPERCLIP' or 'Jewels Programming'  [used on Jeff] has many links to 

JOHN HOPKINS...and of course the Global network of Freemasonry

 in Higher Education Institutions through 'Frat Houses' ,

'Skull and Bones' etc. which tries to

use Science as justification for Eugenics etc... THEY REALLY WERE NAZIS DUDE..

and like Orson Welles portrayed in the 1946 Film Noir Movie, ' THE STRANGER'. .They lived

under assumed identity in the USA.. continuing their 'research' work ..the German cars, VW and BMW

are products of Nazi Engineering and find 'form' like everything else from the Childhood memory

of whoever wrote the Script.

THE CIA, had already been taken over and therefore are partly responsible for this importation of  Anti-Semitism

One Example; SS Officer Eugen Dollman..

Around 8 May 1945, Dollmann was protected from criminal prosecution of his involvement in war crimes by Cardinal Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster, Archbishop of Milan, with whom he had discussed the possibility for a separate peace between Nazi Germany and the Western Allies (Operation Sunrise). 

He hid Dollmann in a mental institution in Laveno-Mombello.

In 1946, Dollmann returned to Rome, was detected in a movie theater and arrested. 

He was liberated after an intervention by James Jesus Angleton of the CIA who accompanied him to Bern to see Allen Welsh Dulles. 

He lived in Switzerland under a false identity.

 In 1952, Dollmann was expelled from Switzerland to Italy on the grounds of having had a homosexual relationship with a Swiss official.

 Padre Parini helped him transfer to Spain, where he was employed by Otto Skorzeny in Donostia in the arms trade.

wikipedia

There were many others involved in 'Rocket' Research, Jet Engines and so on- but Genetics too

along with Biological Warfare was 'of interest' to American and other Governments.

.. leading to MK Ultra etc and Canadian , Guatemalan etc covert

experiments involving LSD , 'BZ' ..and many other very dubious 'Pseudo-Psycho' Medical

'Controls'

Deliberate infecting of unknowing prison inmates with Syphilis etc. was deemed 'Scientific Research'

until Legal Statutes on Ethical Medicine were introduced. Lawsuits are ongoing.[see wiki etc]

Amazingly some Jewish Academics? actually supported the use of data collected in horrific Nazi

experimentation on Auschwitz victims being used to validate the 'Progress' of Science?

much like they supported the Nuclear Bomb program in Los Alamos.

Seems likely, they also continued to be involved in Psychological [Drug/Hypnosis]experiments but of course its difficult to ascertain. Legal action will eventually see them pay up for their unethical behaviour.

 Everything has its Opposite, and California is now undergoing the Fruitful Harvest of Drug Culture, Seeded long ago and now ripened 

The 2017 movie, 'Once upon a time in Venice' with John Goodman Bruce Willis etc which features 

comical scenes of 

Homosexual Graffiti, 

missing Dogs, 

Transvestite Prostitution, 

Drug Dealing

Surfing

 Stereo Typing, of Racial inequality

 and missing Briefcases

 -along with bad Language, Scenes 

of Psychiatrists 'Sex Mania' Groups and so on

- along with Jewish Property Speculation, 

Family Breakdowns, 

Naked Boarders etc 

 is hugely amusing.[if You watch it carefully the background references to 'Thai' 'Weed' 

 are all there and Bruce Willis? whoever taught Him to Act? Bruce should ask for a refund-He seems

to get worse with age [-Addendum -We now know He has Alzheimer's ]

 Venice is now the skid row of California , populated 

with  1000's of Vagrants living on the once beautiful Beach and Residents seeing their cherished

Homes being devalued on a daily basis. 

Perhaps someone will make a Movie ?

or maybe the Movie above actually predicted this new reality? who knows? Maybe the Shaman

Jim Morrison saw into the future and wrote it all down? Here's a Poem written by Him;

An appearance of the devil
on a Venice canal.
Running, I saw a Satan
or Satyr, moving beside
me, a fleshy shadow
of my secret mind. Running,
Knowing.
~~~

The day I left the beach

A hairy Satyr running
behind & a little to the
right.

In the holy solipsism
of the young

Now I can’t walk thru a city
street w/out eying each
single pedestrian. I feel
their vibes thru my
skin, the hair on my neck

REALITY BITES. 

[JEFF BRIDGES 'DOODLE' ENTITLED 'RACING MEN' MAY PERHAPS SHOW HIM THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN!]

JEFF MUST HAVE READ MORRISON'S POETRY.

The Greeks used poppy preparations widely in their medicine, although most famously in the mixture called Theriac or Mithrate which was invented in the 1st century AD. 

The concoction which had up to 64 ingredients including opium, cinnamon, myrrh, honey and ‘viper’s flesh’ was used to treat poisonous snake bites among other complaints. 

Theriac was widely traded as far as China, and arrived in England in the 14th century where it was called ‘Venice Treacle’ for its sticky and sweet consistency.

SOL-IPS-ISM? 

Being 'Self Absorbed/ Centred' is a word hardly used outside

of 'Academia'  

Has Philosophy 'investigated' this 'Phenomenon?'- of course it has...

the most notable investigation by French Philosopher Rene Descartes..

There is another option: the belief that both ideals and "reality" exist. Dualists commonly argue that the distinction between the mind (or 'ideas') and matter can be proven by employing Leibniz' principle of the identity of indiscernibles which states that if two things share exactly the same qualities, then they must be identical, as in indistinguishable from each other and therefore one and the same thing. 

Dualists then attempt to identify attributes of mind that are lacked by matter (such as privacy or intentionality) or vice versa (such as having a certain temperature or electrical charge).^[12][13]

 One notable application of the identity of indiscernibles was by René Descartes in his Meditations on First Philosophy. 

Descartes concluded that he could not doubt the existence of himself (the famous cogito ergo sum argument), but that he could doubt the (separate) existence of his body.

 From this, he inferred that the person Descartes must not be identical to the Descartes body since one possessed a characteristic that the other did not: namely, it could be known to exist.

 Solipsism agrees with Descartes in this aspect, and goes further: only things that can be known to exist for sure should be considered to exist. 

The Descartes body could only exist as an idea in the mind of the person Descartes.^[14][15]

 Descartes and dualism aim to prove the actual existence of reality as opposed to a phantom existence (as well as the existence of God in Descartes' case), using the realm of ideas merely as a starting point, but solipsism usually finds those further arguments unconvincing.

 The solipsist instead proposes that their own unconscious is the author of all seemingly "external" events from "reality"

[above from Wikipedia -if You want to get 'Technical' , but I'm more of a 'Right here Right now' kind of non-existentialist]

HYPNAGOGIA..

Tetris effect

People who have spent a long time at some repetitive activity before sleep, in particular one that is new to them, may find that it dominates their imagery as they grow drowsy, a tendency dubbed the Tetris effect. This effect has even been observed in amnesiacs who otherwise have no memory of the original activity.^[14] When the activity involves moving objects, as in the video game Tetris, the corresponding hypnagogic images tend to be perceived as moving. The Tetris effect is not confined to visual imagery, but can manifest in other modalities. For example, Robert Stickgold recounts having experienced the touch of rocks while falling asleep after mountain climbing.^[6] This can also occur to people who have travelled on a small boat in rough seas, or have been swimming through waves, shortly before going to bed, and they feel the waves as they drift to sleep, or people who have spent the day skiing who continue to "feel snow" under their feet. People who have spent considerable time jumping on a trampoline will find that they can feel the up-and-down motion before they go to sleep. Many chess players report^{[citation needed]} the phenomenon of seeing the chess board and pieces during this state. New employees working stressful and demanding jobs often report feeling the experience of performing work-related tasks in this period before sleep.

Sounds

Hypnagogic hallucinations are often auditory or have an auditory component. Like the visuals, hypnagogic sounds vary in intensity from faint impressions to loud noises, like knocking and crash and bangs (exploding head syndrome). People may imagine their own name called, crumpling bags, white noise, or a doorbell ringing. Snatches of imagined speech are common. While typically nonsensical and fragmented, these speech events can occasionally strike the individual as apt comments on—or summations of—their thoughts at the time. They often contain word play, neologisms and made-up names. Hypnagogic speech may manifest as the subject's own "inner voice", or as the voices of others: familiar people or strangers. More rarely, poetry or music is heard.^[15]

Other sensations

Gustatory, olfactory and thermal sensations in hypnagogia have all been reported, as well as tactile sensations (including those kinds classed as paresthesia or formication). Sometimes there is synesthesia; many people report seeing a flash of light or some other visual image in response to a real sound. Proprioceptive effects may be noticed, with numbness and changes in perceived body size and proportions,^[15] feelings of floating or bobbing as if their bed were a boat, and out-of-body experiences.^[16] Perhaps the most common experience of this kind is the falling sensation, and associated hypnic jerk, encountered by many people, at least occasionally, while drifting off to sleep.^[17]

Cognitive and affective phenomena

Thought processes on the edge of sleep tend to differ radically from those of ordinary wakefulness. For example, something that you agreed with in a state of hypnagogia may seem completely ridiculous to you in an awake state.

 Hypnagogia may involve a "loosening of ego boundaries ... openness, sensitivity, internalization-subjectification of the physical and mental environment (empathy) and diffuse-absorbed attention."^[18] 

Hypnagogic cognition, in comparison with that of normal, alert wakefulness, is characterized by heightened suggestibility,^[19] illogic and a fluid association of ideas. 

Subjects are more receptive in the hypnagogic state to suggestion from an experimenter than at other times, and readily incorporate external stimuli into hypnagogic trains of thought and subsequent dreams. This receptivity has a physiological parallel; EEG readings show elevated responsiveness to sound around the onset of sleep.^[20]

Herbert Silberer described a process he called autosymbolism, whereby hypnagogic hallucinations seem to represent, without repression or censorship, whatever one is thinking at the time, turning abstract ideas into a concrete image, which may be perceived as an apt and succinct representation thereof.^[21]

The hypnagogic state can provide insight into a problem, the best-known example being August Kekulé’s realization that the structure of benzene was a closed ring while half-asleep in front of a fire and seeing molecules forming into snakes, one of which grabbed its tail in its mouth.^[22] Many other artists, writers, scientists and inventors – including Beethoven, Richard Wagner, Walter Scott, Salvador Dalí, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla and Isaac Newton — have credited hypnagogia and related states with enhancing their creativity.^[23] A 2001 study by Harvard psychologist Deirdre Barrett found that, while problems can also be solved in full-blown dreams from later stages of sleep, hypnagogia was especially likely to solve problems which benefit from hallucinatory images being critically examined while still before the eyes.^[24]

A feature that hypnagogia shares with other stages of sleep is amnesia. But this is a selective forgetfulness, affecting the hippocampal memory system, which is responsible for episodic or autobiographical memory, rather than the neocortical memory system, responsible for semantic memory.^[6] It has been suggested that hypnagogia and REM sleep help in the consolidation of semantic memory,^[25] but the evidence for this has been disputed.^[26] For example, suppression of REM sleep due to antidepressants and lesions to the brainstem has not been found to produce detrimental effects on cognition.^[27]

Hypnagogic phenomena may be interpreted as visions, prophecies, premonitions, apparitions and inspiration (artistic or divine), depending on the experiencers' beliefs and those of their culture.

BENZENE, THE CHEMICAL WAS USED IN LETHAL INJECTIONS MURDERING INNOCENT JEWISH PEOPLE BY THE NAZIS. 

THE CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF BENZENE RESEMBLES A 'MOGEN' SHAPE, AND IS IN THE SAME FAMILY OF CHEMICALS AS PHENOL.

According to Holocaust survivors, Jewish prisoners were poisoned with various injections directly into the heart, including petrol, phenol, available poisons or even water, to induce death.^[11]

Heim reportedly removed organs from living prisoners without anaesthesia, killing hundreds.
