Is it possible our minds are being molded by people we have never even heard of?
Could all the digital information that is now part of modern life — cell phones, computers, social media, algorithms, and so on — be shaping our thoughts more than we realize?
And how about our food? With all these ultra-processed foods, what might be the impact on our brains?
Seriously, has anybody besides me noticed extremely weird behavior “out there”?
Certainly not in ourselves, of course.
Which brings up another point: could some be more vulnerable to what we’re going to refer to as “biofield manipulation” than others?
Thinking about all this, I checked this morning to see if the group resonated with a vulnerability profile scan.
We did.
A vulnerability profile can point to areas in the biofield where individuals, or even groups, may be more open to non-beneficial outside influence.
Today’s top priority was:
Chakra–Planetary Alignment
Some energy-healing models describe chakras as vortexes of information exchange between the biofield and the body. Dr. Bruce Lipton has also spoken about the cell membrane as a kind of intelligent receiver — with tiny antenna-like structures involved in how the cell responds to information from its environment.
More on that down the road if there’s interest.
Meanwhile, a savvy friend who keeps up with the planets says yes, astrologically we’re receiving some nervous-system static, survival pressure, and power-struggle energy.
All I have to say is this: a lot of people have been calling to say they are feeling extreme fatigue lately.
With that, our focus today, along with regular work, will be Chakras.
Now let’s move on to Chapter 4 of Tess’s journey.
Chapter 4: Welcome to GRAS-Land
The next doorway glowed brighter than the others.
Across the top of the doorway, blinking in cheerful red letters, was a sign:
WELCOME TO GRAS-LAND
The door opened.
Music poured out.
Tess stepped into what appeared to be a theme park.
A smiling creature with a clipboard rushed toward her.
“Welcome to GRAS-Land!” it shouted. “Where everything is generally recognized as safe!”
Tess looked at the angel.
“Generally?”
“Yes,” said the angel.
A banner stretched across the sky:
1958 FOOD ADDITIVES AMENDMENT
Tess pointed to it.
“That sounds official.”
“It was,” said the angel. “And the original idea sounded reasonable. Before new chemicals were added to food, there needed to be some assurance of safety.”
They came to a large spinning ride called:
THE LOOPHOLE LOOP
Tiny cars shaped like food packages zipped around the track.
At the entrance stood a sign:
GRAS substances are not considered food additives and do not require premarket FDA approval.
Tess read it twice.
“Wait.”
“Yes,” said the angel.
“If something is generally recognized as safe, it does not need the same FDA approval process?”
“Correct.”
“And who recognizes it?”
“Companies may rely on their own experts to determine that an ingredient is GRAS.
They walked farther into the park.
A mascot dressed like a smiling snack box waved from beside a popcorn cart.
“Try our new flavor!” it shouted. “Evaluated by experts we hire ourselves!”
Then they came upon a courthouse sitting in the middle of the theme park.
A sign outside read:
2021
Inside, a judge’s gavel came down.
The angel explained that in 2021, a federal judge upheld the FDA’s GRAS framework.
“So the court said this was legal?” Tess asked.
“Yes.”
“So right now, a company could create a new ingredient, hire experts, decide it is generally recognized as safe, and put it into food without mandatory FDA premarket approval?”
“Yes,” said the angel. “That is the concern.”
“And ordinary people are just supposed to trust the package?”
“That has been the custom.”
Ahead of them, the next doorway began to open.
This one smelled like sugar, salt, and fat
Tess tightened her grip.
“I have a bad feeling about this door, too.”
The angel nodded.
“You should.”
