ROCK SOLID EVIDENCE OF THE AMNESIA

Book Summary by: Jeremiah    

Original Author: JEremiah
 know we are hit with amnesia. Every time we awake, we go through the amnesia. You can feel it descend, and it hits
fast too. You can feel yourself forgetting your dream. Can''t you? I do. Other people have remarked on it. I''m right, here. We''re hit with amnesia every time we emerge from sleep into consciousness. The details of your dreams are covered with it. Fast.
Nobody ever writes about it. But does it feel "normal"? No it does not. If I told you that my left pinky just popped off, you wouldn''t start forgetting it within seconds. You''d remember it very easily, for as long as you liked, for hours, no sweat. But your dreams? As soon as you start to awaken, there they go, under the amnesia that descends so quickly.
I''m telling you that means something. You pass it by, you think it means nothing, you don''t even notice it, because it happens every day. But it means a lot. It means that there is a procedure in place that sees to it that we get amnesia every time we wake up. It''s something imposed on us. It''s like a magic spell. It''s like some kind of mucosy goo that we have to pass through when we return to conscious life. It is purposely there to make us forget.
Let me put it this way. If, every time you woke up, eleven midgets came into the room and beat the living shit out of you, that would be significant. That would mean something. But since it has happened every time you woke up, since your birth, you think hey, nothing new there, nothing worth commenting on, yeah so I just got the shit beat out of me by eleven midgets, that''s the way it goes, nothing to learn from that.
So I''m telling you there is something to learn from our amnesia. It''s like that story from Greek mythology about the river Lethe that we all have to pass through when we are born, so we forget where we came from. It''s the same damn fucking thing. We pass through the river Lethe every fucking time we wake up.
Why? I''m telling you it''s not "normal". Do you also get hit with amnesia every time you pass through your bathroom door? Um, no, I hope not. This is evidence that there is "machinery" in place that forces amnesia on us. You have felt it tens of thousands of times, so often that you take it for granted, it''s just one of those things, and you know damn well that if you don''t write your dreams down the moment you wake up, they''re gone.
It''s not fucking normal. It is the river Lethe. You pass through it every fucking morning. The "river" thing is just an analogy. It''s like a spell on us. It''s like a mucousy goo we have to pass through that strips away the memories. It''s also masking other stuff from us. It''s masking who the hell we are. It''s masking where the hell we come from. It''s masking where we go when we''re asleep.
I''m telling you things aren''t as they seem. There''s shit going on here. We are being purposely forced to not know things. Hey, did you see They Live, the movie with Roddy Piper? It''s a conspiracy, kids. We''re kept in the dark. The truth is in that movie. We are being ruled by a race of giant insect people with mandibles. Hmm, strike that. Maybe not. Well, keep up the creative thought, maybe something sensible will pop up.
