I must forget!
Separation conflicts and the sensory cortex constellation
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
Dementia is the term by which conventional medicine describes a neurological condition characterised by the decline of various cognitive functions. It may affect language, praxic-motor skills or short and/or long-term memory, and the social context in which we are placed has accustomed us to thinking of it as something that only affects people of an advanced age, generally over 65-70 years. The etymological dictionary explains to us that the term dementia is composed of a prefix de- , meaning 'estrangement from', and mind, which the same dictionary indicates as 'generator of ideas' (in reality the meaning is much broader, but for the use I have to make of it in this article it is more than enough).
When we use this term, we are therefore indicating a person who is not able to generate meaningful thoughts and who somehow lacks 'presence'. Allow me to make an observation, in light of what has just been reported. I would tend to rule out the correlation between old age and dementia in scientific terms, as the condition of 'non-presence' is a typical feature of Western man, as already described in countless articles in my column. I would like us to move away from the idea that this term is the vector of a negative or denigrating meaning and focus on everyday life.
Have you ever, for example, found yourself in front of the wardrobe without remembering what you were supposed to take? Or finding yourself in the car to go and buy something and not remembering what? Or someone proposing a trivial logic riddle to you and not being able to solve it? And if we want to broaden the spectrum of analysis even further, has it ever happened to anyone to do something really stupid, like parking your car in the handicapped spot or forgetting your house keys hanging on the door? Can we classify these examples as situations where presence is totally lacking? Try to reflect. When such events occur where are we? Are we really present?
Don't worry, we are not all demented. However, in some way, each of us manifests some kind of blackout. Some more, some less. We can blame it on tiredness, stress, too many things to think about, but that doesn't change the fact that these are conditions that can potentially affect everyone, bar none.
Alzheimer's disease is considered a form of dementia. It is named after the German doctor Alois Alzheimer, who first proposed a description of the disease in 1906 (it would be christened with this name a few years later). In 2020, the World Health Organisation reported that dementia affected around 50 million people worldwide, and of these between 60 and 70 % show Alzheimer's symptoms. Numbers that make one think and are also estimated to increase in the coming years. Statistically, it is a condition that certainly affects more people over the age of 65, but in recent decades it has also increased among people between the ages of 30 and 60, albeit in a percentage that does not exceed 10% of the total estimated cases (source mypersonaltrainer.com). As usual, officially the causes are unclear and doctors are unable to give an explanation for the fact that nerve cells involved in the 'memory districts' - mainly amygdala and hippocampus - 'undergo' such atrophy that they are unable to perform their function. Scouring through the various sites and documents one finds the most desperate explanations, including the inevitable 'hereditary genetic mutation', smoking and diabetes.
Once again, we find ourselves faced with confused explanations, whereby responsibilities are thrown around here and there without having the slightest clue as to the real situation, which can be verified in a repeatable manner under the lenses of the five biological laws and not solely by those of the microscope, which is certainly useful, but insufficient when considered in isolation.
BLACK-OUT!
In the last article in this column, I began to deal with a very complex subject, which is still being studied by me in the first instance. There are many schizophrenic constellations and, as described above, they are the combination of two or more biological activations in the different cerebral hemispheres, such that a magnetic polarity between them is possible. I have described the constellations of the paleo-brain and the white matter, but I have not gone into depth with regard to the cerebral cortex for which, as already indicated in the previous article, Hamer had intercepted about five hundred constellations. Alzheimer's disease is considered in our environment as the evolution of a schizophrenic constellation of the sensory cortex. This constellation takes place in the following cases:
Two active foci, one in each cerebral hemisphere
Two foci in epileptoid crisis, one in each cerebral hemisphere
One active focus and one in epileptoid crisis, one in each cerebral hemisphere
As already mentioned, we find ourselves in the cerebral cortex, that portion of our brain that regulates the tissues derived from the ectodermal embryonic leaflet, the last to develop in both phylogeny and ontogeny. In this case, the biological conflict of these tissues is separation, on the left side of the body in relation to mother or children, on the right side of the body in relation to father, partner or others. This applies to right-handed men and left-handed women. In the case of right-handed women and left-handed men, the opposite applies. It may happen that we are in conflict with a mother whom we perceive partly as such and partly as partner, and in that case the brain will activate two programmes, one for each hemisphere of the sensory cortex.
The individual who experiences this therefore enters what we have termed the 'schizophrenic constellation'. On an organic level, it is common to manifest squamous dermatitis involving the epidermis and therefore manifesting itself with the biphasic course of the outer skin: tissue ulceration in the active phase with absence, pain and swelling in the solution phase and then again absence and insensitivity in the epileptoid crisis phase. The insensibility of the active phase is totally functional to temporarily forget the separation experienced and the subject forgets apparently trivial things in the course of his daily routine. He may forget where he put his car keys or that he has to pick up his son from football practice. Looking at these occurrences individually, these are situations that potentially each of us may have experienced at least once in our lives, exactly as I mentioned at the beginning of the article.
However, the feeling of not remembering essential things or not being able to carry out seemingly easy tasks or even finding oneself in a place without even remembering why can trigger a vicious circle that will only result in the belief that one has some cognitive deficit (Hamer used the expression 'black-out' in this regard).
As if that were not enough, if the absence occurs at the moment when one has to make a movement, one can also fall to the ground and upon waking up not really realise what might have happened. If we add to this the fact that these 'falls' can occur in dangerous situations, such as at a zebra crossing or while descending a staircase with a hot cup of coffee in hand, it is not uncommon to also trigger conflicts involving the white substance, in the area of devaluation.
I will begin to perceive myself as a cripple, an inept, a 'reckless' and as a consequence my brain will activate programmes involving the cerebral arterioles and involving the ulceration of the intima in order to make more blood flow through them and better feed the memory districts. Recurrences can result in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques that will obstruct blood flow to the sensory cortex. This is when the Alzheimer's condition manifests itself. The memory areas are not supplied with blood and as a result the neurons become diseased and the brain mass shrinks.
REVERSIBLE OR IRREVERSIBLE?
During the course I attended as a speaker for the Daleth Symptom School last winter, I was asked a very specific question about Alzheimer's disease.
Is it an irreversible condition that will only get worse?
My answer was, as always, weighted on the basis of my current knowledge and specifying that I have no clinical experience in this regard. Alzheimer's, just like a cold or melanoma, is a sensible biological programme. If it takes hold, it means that nature has configured a process to achieve a specific result - in this case, the need to erase the pain of separation. However, it is necessary to emphasise the fact that when one finds oneself in somewhat disabling situations, such as repeated amnesia or the inability to perform common everyday actions (apraxia) or even a tendency to passivity and apathy, it is easy to trigger a cycle of relapse.
The fact that we find ourselves in the vast web of relationships with fellow human beings, it is practically obvious that the perceived disability or inadequacy can manifest itself even more severely. There is also the fact that unfortunately very often the people surrounding the person with Alzheimer's symptoms are not helpful. The tendency is in fact to emphasise the deficit, perhaps in the belief that they are helping the person to remember better, but with the opposite result. All this can only trigger constant relapses that will lead the subject to lose self-confidence, activating who knows how many and what kind of programmes of devaluation and more.
From a purely physiological point of view, whether the situation can be reversible or not depends on the extent of the brain damage. In the following picture you can see for yourself a comparison between a healthy brain and one in an advanced state of Alzheimer's.
Although I am not a doctor, I think I can say that in a particularly advanced situation, with a visibly reduced brain mass, there is little hope for the reversibility of the cognitive abilities of an Alzheimer's sufferer.
On the contrary, in the early stages of the programme it is in my opinion possible to take over the reins by first of all becoming aware of the fact that it is a biological programme, perfectly sensible and as such not condemnable. Once the concept of a biological programme has been embodied, light must be shed on the conflict that may have triggered it, through a work of investigation into oneself and one's life that can only bring benefit and expansion. From what is my brief experience in the world of biological laws, this is all I can say on the subject.
CONCLUSION
The entirely legitimate question at this point is: what is the point of all this? We all undergo separations in life, yet not everyone presents the symptoms of Alzheimer's.
In fact, individuals with this condition have experienced these losses as acute, isolated, dramatic and shocking. They are people who cannot be left alone, they no longer suffer from separations because they forget everything and consequently will no longer suffer from a separation. The system obtains a kind of compensation. By forgetting I no longer suffer. And why is a separation so potentially decisive for a human being? It is simple: contact gives identity.
Entering into a relationship with another puts us in a position to hold up a mirror to who we are because everything we relate to speaks of us, although very often, unfortunately, this principle of reality is obscured by that ugly vice that so grips the entire human race: judgement. The human being is the only mammal existing in nature that is able to judge the actions of others, in return obtaining biological repercussions on oneself. The person we are with, be it a partner, a mother or a work colleague, is there at that precise moment in time to give us information about ourselves. Entering into a relationship with someone is a wonderful opportunity to go on what I have referred to in many articles as 'the journey of the soul'. This is why contact is a fundamental element in the life of all mammals, including man. It is no less important than oxygen or food.
No matter how much we 'tell ourselves', it is always difficult to experience separation, whatever it may be, even from an object! Yet, like anything that exists in nature, the game is to become aware of it, to embody the separation, to experience the emotional shock in order to be better prepared the next time. Once again, biological laws teach us how to live. Can anyone disprove this?
