When There’s No Place to Meet:
The Case of the Shrinking Hippocampus
When frames of reference are so divergent between people it can feel bewildering, and that there is no meeting place for the minds. Dr Michael Nehls has written a very important book, The Indoctrinated Brain: How to Successfully Fend Off the Global Attack on Your Mental Freedom. In this book, and in an interview with Dr Naomi Wolf, he shares his extensive research into this perplexing phenomenon. He is witnessing a ‘global war on the brain’ and explains how the global Covid-19 measures and the mRNA injections erase autobiographical memory in the hippocampus and outlines how this occurs and the impact on the brain, personality and relationships.
Nehls research offers a crucial missing piece to our understanding of the passivity of the majority population during Covid-19 and it answers some of the big frustrating questions that we have been asking ourselves for almost four years now.
The hitherto unanswered questions include “why are some people awake and others not?” “Why are some people more vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why have people we know and love’s personalities radically changed?” “Why aren’t they curious, questioning, open to primary data?” “Why are they regurgitating mainstream narratives that are impenetrable?”
Matteus Desmett’s concept of ‘mass formation psychosis’ was an excellent explanation of how the collective were unduly influenced but it fell short of satisfactorily answering why one individual and not another was susceptible to influence. The video and the book probe the question, from a neuroscience point of view, “why are some people awake and others aren’t?” A question that Naomi Wolf put in the vernacular, “why are people acting like zombies?”
Nehls is a prolific writer and among others, has written books about how to recharge an exhausted brain and about the development, prevention and therapy of Alzheimers disease. As a consequence of this previous research, many of the globally imposed measures of the last almost four years now didn’t make sense to him and he has been researching their impact.
Nehls describes the hippocampus as the store of our autobiographical memories, laid down through the repeated generation of index neurons. In the various trainings that I deliver I talk about the Adult ego state as having a ‘joined up narrative’, where a significant amount of life experience has been processed and integrated. Within the boundaries of the Adult ego state lies a continuous sense of self and a secure identity. The lack of a joined up narrative undermines this continuous sense of self and secure identity and all the life supporting and relationship supporting qualities that are associated with it
.
Nehls tells us that the hippocampus is the only part of the brain that grows lifelong, increasing in size by one or two percent a year. The production of index neurons is required for the hippocampus to grow and to function. According to Nehls, if the nerve cell production is interrupted, not only is our memory capacity reduced, but so too is our psychological resilience and our curiosity; there is a great difficulty in thinking laterally about things and we cannot plan the future; depression likely follows and ultimately Alzheimers disease could set in.
According to Nehls, the production of index neurons are facilitated through novelty (regular new experiences), oxytocin (through interpersonal contact) and vitamin D. All the things that were not encouraged during Covid.
A further seriously aggravating factor to index neuron production he has identified is the spike protein in the virus itself and in the mRNA injection which, as we know, passes the blood brain barrier. Once there, it causes cytokine storms in the hippocampus and inhibits the production of the important nerve cells. The cytokine storms can continue for a few months. If the intention of those who wish to inject us is to harm or kill us, which is the conclusion Nehls has come to, the injections need to be administered on a regular basis to keep the neuroinflammation going.
Under these circumstances, the hippocampus shrinks and erases parts of former memory, maybe nice happy memories from the past, and the personality is diminished. With such reduced storage capacity the hippocampus is forced to limit what it can remember so old narratives are expelled and new narratives override them. Because the hippocampus prioritises storage of novel experiences it will replace old narratives with whatever the new thing is; the technocratic elite can keep creating a new shiny crisis that knocks out the last shiny crisis - Naomi Wolf says ‘any fear based narrative can be implanted, like cassette change’ - Covid-19, climate change, Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Ha mas to name just a few of the most recent ones.
Finally, a shrunken hippocampus means a shrunken personality, and further, the stored narratives (the technocrats propaganda), become the personality. This is a compelling explanation for why, if a person is questioned about indoctrinated beliefs, a rage response occurs because the person feels their very self is under attack.
So a shrunken hippocampus means a shrunken personality and the dismantling of the Adult ego state, the seat of our sovereignty and keeper of all useful life and relational skills.
I haven’t finished Nehls book yet but already I wonder if the remedy is to stop taking the mRNA injections, to address the spike protein in the body, to engage in novel experiences and nurturing relationships that release oxytocin, and to supplement our Vitamin D.
