Researchers in the United States have developed a new method called Magneto for controlling the brain circuits associated with complex animal behaviors by using genetic engineering to create a magnetized protein that activates specific groups of nerve cells from a distance.
The researchers accomplished this incredible mind-controlling feat by inserting the Magneto DNA sequence into the genome of a virus and then live animals whose behavior is then triggered by magnetic fields or radio waves.
These viruses, coupled with Magento, allow electrical current to flow through the cell membrane, evoking nervous impulses that travel into the spinal cord and then up to the brain.
Researchers first experimented by injecting the Magneto virus into the brains of mice, targeting the entorhinal cortex. Then, they dissected the brains showing that applying a magnetic field to the brain slices activated Magneto so that the cells produce nervous impulses.
Next step – controlling live animals.
The researchers then used magneto and a live virus to manipulate neuronal activity in zebrafish larvae, targeting neurons in the trunk and tail that normally “control an escape response.”
“Previous attempts [using magnets to control neuronal activity] needed multiple components for the system to work – injecting magnetic particles, injecting a virus that expresses a heat-sensitive channel, [or] head-fixing the animal so that a coil could induce changes in magnetism,” he explains. “The problem with having a multi-component system is that there’s so much room for each individual piece to break down.”
“This system is a single, elegant virus that can be injected anywhere in the brain, which makes it technically easier and less likely for moving bells and whistles to break down,” he adds, “and their behavioral equipment was cleverly designed to contain magnets where appropriate so that the animals could be freely moving around.”
“Anything that the animal with Magneto feels and does and perhaps thinks can be remote-controlled by magnetic fields,” said clinical neurologist and scientist-physician Wolfgang Liedtke at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, who did not take part in this research.
“The new technique, developed in Ali Güler’s lab at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, and described in an advance online publication in the journal Nature Neuroscience, is not only non-invasive, but can also activate neurons rapidly and reversibly.
Several earlier studies have shown that nerve cell proteins which are activated by heat and mechanical pressure can be genetically engineered so that they become sensitive to radio waves and magnetic fields, by attaching them to an iron-storing protein called ferritin, or to inorganic paramagnetic particles. These methods represent an important advance – they have, for example, already been used to regulate blood glucose levels in mice – but involve multiple components which have to be introduced separately.”
Some people such as the editor at Technocracy news argue that this is dystopian news and the next step is humans.
This is potentially the most dangerous and dystopian development in genetic modification in history. “The researchers inserted the Magneto DNA sequence into the genome of a virus”. The DNA behavior is then triggered by magnetic fields or radio waves. ⁃ TN Editor
This science reminds me of the comic book hero called Magento, who could generate and manipulate magnetic fields. His powers allow him to control minds, metal, levitate, create force fields, use telepathic mind control, and generate electromagnetic pulses, among other abilities.
Maybe, the late comic book artist Jack Kirby, and his sidekick, Stan Lee were modern-day prophets telling of their visions in the characters they created. Secret biological scientists who were adepts in the deep workings of the body, brain, and the latest research on mind control techniques. That is a possibility.
There is also the probability that the Deep State magicians who already knew of this ancient science were the real puppet masters writing the Holywood scripts.
One hell of a mind control script that we would all be actors and living through to this very day.
I do not know but for some odd reason, I’m strongly magnetized to the latter idea. How about you?

Did you know that naturally occurring nano-magnets can go up your nose traveling into your brain?
You may not be born with a tinfoil hat, but there is a natural magnet in your head that can attract, repel, and even dance with outside forces within the earth, in humans, and the air.
Hidden within your brain is a gray-black mineral called magnetite, a mineral composed of iron ore oxide that is naturally magnetic. Studies have shown that the human brain contains magnetite, has been well established, and that brain cells respond to external magnetic fields.
“Crystal structure of magnetite as viewed along the [111] direction (diagonal through the cube). Green tetrahedra contain ferrous iron (Fe2+), yellowish octahedra contain ferric iron (Fe3+), and oxygen is shown as red spheres.”
Science has found that magnetite has the ability to magnetize information and store memories in what are called nanospheres that I contend become part of what the Greeks called the World Soul and today is known as the Noosphere. However, elevated levels of magnetite in brain tissue have been found in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s that cause us to lose our memories.
Meaning that magnetite may be the naturally occurring physical substance within the earth, and organisms such as humans use it to navigate and store information in the material world. Researchers have found that these brain magnetites show a strong similarity with the magnetite nanospheres formed by combustion, which is airborne particulate matter (PM) and the resulting global pollution.
This magnetite nanosphere pollution, I theorize can be both bad and good.
My theory of good ideas and bad ideas I discuss in my previous article, “War of Ideas: The Battle of the Neurosphere for the Noosphere,” where I contend that these good or Holy magnetic connections of human brains create a physical sphere of influence that then develops into our human social order or rank – Hierarchy.
The natural order of Logos (Noosphere).
Heraclitus (c. 535 – c. 475 BC) used the term Logos to represent the principle of order and knowledge. Isocrates’ believed that philosophy and logos generate an ethical, mindful polis or what we call a city today. This would go in line with Plato’s Theories of Forms. He made the distinction between imperfect matter and perfect Form.
People (philosophers) were necessary to bridge or should we say magnetize the enormous gap between God and the material world.
Philo called these words and ideas “the first-born of God when he had said, “the Logos of the living God is the bond of everything, holding all things together and binding all the parts, and prevents them from being dissolved and separated.”
In the Scripture, the Gospel of John identifies the Christian Logos, through which all things are made, as divine (theos). Further, he identifies Jesus Christ a the incarnate Logos or, in Plato’s theory, a bridge between God and the material world.
Hence, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” – (John 1:1)
The word Lego comes from Logos. Humans who become bridges bringing us wisdom form an immortal chain of unbreakable Legos via the Logos.
The “beginning” is translated from the Greek, ἀρχῇ (archē or archomai) meaning a commencement, or chief as in the start of our Traditions and the philosophical chiefs who remain magnets via their good ideas.
Immortal by the legos of ideas – The Logos. Not by men.
The bad ideas also become part of the Logos via magnetization, but I contend they eventually die out. These are ideas, things, and information created by humans that I theorize enter the air and immediately start to ferment and decay like combustible carbon substances and humans.
Bad things and bad ideas are no Bueno. Both can kill us.
The Ancient Greek concept of pathos.
Ideas that encourage pathos or sadness and pity are considered pathetic by the Greeks. Hence, the word pathetic is derived from the etymology of pathos. In rhetoric, however, it means an appeal to the emotions in general and why pathos is used mainly by politicians and in advertising for the vast majority of the ordinary people like beast automatons who follow these pathetic people and their bad ideas.
Always leading them to pathos.
Hence, why we have a global suicide, murder, and health crisis today.
Back to the True or Divine Logos.
The Christian Logos or Noosphere is created by magnetic particles when the brain is engaged becomes part of what science calls the electron atmosphere. The magnetic field lines are created by the movement of these charges absorbed by the electron nucleus and then ejected in a cycle of vortex movement explained in the image below.
The good nanosphere would be the good pollution in the air, which creates the earth’s biomagnetic fields that organisms use to navigate and, for humans, the World Soul/Noosphere. What we use to navigate back to our roots and Traditions.
The bad ideas I speak of above are nanospheres, AKA tiny magnetic charged particles that are eventually ejected from our world because other people mostly reject them. As a result, they do not receive any more electric charges from other minds who feed the idea with their energies; thus, the life cycle in the Noosphere is short before it is eventually aborted.
Bad ideas become like aborted babies thrown out with the bathwater via Bathos (from Greek baths, “deep”).
Alexander Pope coined the term “Bathos” in his 1727 essay “Peri Bathous”, to describe an amusingly failed attempt at presenting artistic greatness. It is used to identify anticlimactic and trivial (intentionally or otherwise) figures of speech, any intentional deviation from literal statement or common usage that emphasizes, clarifies, or embellishes both written and spoken language.
Hence, these Batho’s ideas come mainly from selfish people who present themselves as wise and use emotional language to magnetize people to their cause. But, unfortunately, these same said people often have ulterior motives that do not follow our ancient Traditions and ethics in philosophy, so they embellish their trivial teachings and wish to mislead others with lies.
In the Scripture, the job of misleading people and lying is given to Satan, who also becomes their persecutor of those who lie, sin, and do bad ie evil. That is why he is considered the Father of Lies (Liars) and Prince of the World.
The followers of bad ideas always seem to lead them to decay, destruction, and eventually death. A type of hell on earth.
GOOD KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION DANCES TOGETHER FORMING THE NOOSPHERE
According to a recent paper published in Nature Physics, an international team of researchers discovered what drives a transition in magnetite. Using an ultrashort laser pulse, the researchers confirmed the existence of electronic waves that are frozen at the transition temperature and start “dancing together” in a collective oscillating motion as the temperature is lowered.
This is known as the Verwey transition in magnetite (Fe3O4), the first metal-insulator transition ever observed and involves a concomitant structural rearrangement and charge–orbital ordering. The fundamental building blocks of the charge-ordered structure are three-site small polarons called trimerons which create spectroscopic signatures of the low-energy electronic excitations of the trimeron network.
The researchers said that “By driving these modes coherently with an ultrashort laser pulse, we reveal their critical softening and hence demonstrate their direct involvement in the Verwey transition. These findings shed new light on the cooperative mechanism at the origin of magnetite’s exotic ground state.”
“We were investigating the mechanism behind the Verwey transition, and we suddenly found anomalous waves freezing at the transition temperature,” said MIT physics postdoc Edoardo Baldini, one of the lead authors on the paper. “They are waves made of electrons that displace the surrounding atoms and move collectively as fluctuations in space and time.”
This work, led by MIT professor of physics Nuh Gedik, was made possible by the use of “ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy,” an advanced laser apparatus based on ultrashort pulses in the extreme infrared. Gedik says, “These laser pulses are as short as one millionth of one millionth of a second and allow us to take fast photographs of the microscopic world. Our goal now is to apply this approach to discover new classes of collective waves in other quantum materials.”
This discovery is significant because no frozen waves of any kind had ever been found in magnetite. “We immediately understood that these were interesting objects that conspire in triggering this very complex phase transition,” says MIT physics Ph.D. student Carina Belvin, the paper’s other lead author.
I contend that these waves of electrons conspire with one another and move collectively; creating multiverses is how we can measure the Noosphere.
For example, a new study shows that the reproducible magnetization patterns of magnetite are preferentially partitioned in the human brain, specifically in the cerebellum and brain stem.
Prion diseases like Crutzfeld-Jacobs disease and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and ALS share a common theme, dysfunctional prions and excessive magnetite. In addition, researchers have found that the rapid formation of magnetite is causing the dysfunctional prions to act as if they become pathogenic.
As I have explained before, a 2015 study titled, “Different Brain Regions are Infected with Fungi in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD),” researchers had shown the possibility that Alzheimer’s Disease may be a fungal disease, or that fungal infection is a risk factor for the disease. The researchers provided evidence in the study that tissue from the central nervous system (CNS) of AD patients contains fungal cells and hyphae.
In fact, 100% of the AD patients analyzed in the study had fungal cells and fungal material in brain sections. ”
It is believed that when our prions are working properly, they function to “write” memory onto our brain. Still, when excess iron/magnetite builds up between the neurons, they become unreadable.
Dementia and Alzheimers via the natural laws of the fungi world take care of the Human Pathos.
Just within a few weeks or months, people who have been deemed unfit by the creator experience memory loss, mood changes, and apathy. They become clumsy and confused and slurred speech.
Their symptoms are likely to progress to jerky movements, stiff limbs, incontinence, and the loss of the ability to move or speak.
They no longer have Logos to contribute to the Noosphere.

A new study on LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) by the University of Cambridge and Imperial College in London has shown that the drug allows users to free brain activity to “trespass anatomical rules,” because it triggers an altered state of consciousness.
Anatomical means relating to the bodily structure or relating to human anatomy so by taking LSD, users are not confined to the so-called normal rules of being human.
This induces what is called “psychosis.” The land where people walk the line between human reality and the spirit world.
Consciousness is believed to involve the integration of multiple segregated brain networks and their subnetworks, and the researchers’ goal is to study patterns of brain connectivity and consciousness under the influence of LSD.
Our main finding is that the effects of LSD on brain function and subjective experience are non-uniform in time: LSD makes globally segregated sub-states of dynamic functional connectivity more complex, and weakens the relationship between functional and anatomical connectivity.
On a regional level, LSD reduces functional connectivity of the anterior medial prefrontal cortex, specifically during states of high segregation. Time-specific effects were correlated with different aspects of subjective experiences; in particular, ego dissolution was predicted by increased small-world organization during a state of high global integration.
These results reveal a more nuanced, temporally-specific picture of altered brain connectivity and complexity under psychedelics than has previously been reported.”
“My main interest — and the focus of my research — is on understanding the neuroscience of human consciousness,” said study author Andrea I. Luppi (@loopyluppi), a Gates Scholar at the University of Cambridge in the Cognition and Consciousness Imaging Group.
“Studying psychoactive substances offers a unique opportunity for neuroscience: we can study their effects in terms of brain chemistry, but also at the level of brain function and subjective experience,” he added. “In particular, the mind is never static, and neither is the brain: we are increasingly discovering that when it comes to brain function and its evolution over time, the journey matters just as much as the destination.”
In 2016, researchers found LSD has a huge impact on intrinsic functional connectivity such as the thalamus, and also increased global integration by inflating the level of communication between normally distinct brain networks reported as “ego dissolution.”
They concluded that “LSD selectively expands global connectivity in the brain and the perceptual boundaries between the self and the environment.”
For example, a study from 2018 had shown that LSD administration significantly decreased functional connectivity within visual, sensorimotor, and auditory networks and the default mode network. Meaning users’ eyes, ears, nose, and other sensory organs did not work the same as before and they were no longer connected in the same fashion.
It is as if the act of taking LSD creates a temporary hybrid human whose bodily functions and chemicals are no longer human, but merged with the very ancient fungal pathogens to become one. As if the drug mutates, morphs, and integrates a person into itself in which the user experiences their world in the 4th dimension.
In other words, LSD alters the brain and body so that it is able to break the normal ruled of being human, while also changing how the brain is able to integrate and process consciousness.
“When you look at the network of fungi, it starts to look back at you!” – Dr. Merlin Sheldrake (Fungal Biologist and author)

Many of our Christian ancestors and medieval artists would often depict demons and the devil with having multiple faces about their bodies with a particular reference to faces on their stomachs and anus’ which seem to have a mind of their own.
When researching these old paintings, it would seem that the numerous amount of illustrations of demons and the devil are somewhat fantastical and more mythical than actual reality. However, I would like to remind some of you of the recent scientific discoveries that I believe will put some modern context as to why they were drawn in this fashion.
For example, it is no secret that our gut, AKA stomach, is now considered our “second brain”.
Many people reading this can relate to these facts and have experienced communications from this second brain. When they have made a decision based on their “gut instinct” or felt what we call “butterflies in your stomach” when nervous or “upset stomach” when we eat food that “does not agree” with us, we become sick and nauseous.
According to John Hopkins University, these signals affect your mood, health, and even the way we think because our brains in our stomachs communicate with the brain in our skulls.
“Scientists call this little brain the enteric nervous system (ENS). And it’s not so little. The ENS is two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gastrointestinal tract from the esophagus to rectum.”
Gastroenterologists may prescribe certain antidepressants for IBS, for example—not because they think the problem is all in a patient’s head, but because these medications calm symptoms in some cases by acting on nerve cells in the gut, explains Jay Pasricha, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Neurogastroenterology, whose research on the enteric nervous system has garnered international attention.
“Psychological interventions like CBT may also help to “improve communications” between the big brain and the brain in our gut,” he says.
These new scientific discoveries validate these old paintings as not mythical or created by overzealous religionist hell-bent on scaring their peers into moral submission. Still, they are scientific representations of our actual realities as they understood them when they were created.
Here is where modern science gets interesting as it relates to “human consciousness” and what I would like to call “parasitic consciousness” or what our ancestors may have called “demonic or devilish behavior” that I believe is born within the stomach AKA gastrointestinal tracts. This is the exact location where “billions of foreign cells are living in and among our own,” creating what scientists are starting to call our “second brain.”
Some of you may be familiar with my many articles and walk and talk videos where I have described what I have sometimes dubbed “demonic parasitic mold” as it would relate to the billions of foreign cells that are living in and among our own and how they can take over “human consciousness.”
My theory is that our modern epidemic of neurological diseases, addiction, and obesity is due to these microorganisms that have the ability to take over people’s minds and bodies. A scientific process that our ancestors may have called these people as being possessed by a “demon of the devil.”
This will become evident to some of you when you read that according to The Scientific American, the second brain is NOT the seat of “conscious thoughts or conscious decision making” in what they call “the great thought process”.
“Although its influence is far-reaching, the second brain is not the seat of any conscious thoughts or decision-making.”
“The second brain doesn’t help with the great thought processes…religion, philosophy and poetry is left to the brain in the head,” says Michael Gershon, chairman of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at New York–Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, an expert in the nascent field of neurogastroenterology and author of the 1998 book The Second Brain (HarperCollins).
“The system is way too complicated to have evolved only to make sure things move out of your colon,” says Emeran Mayer, professor of physiology, psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (U.C.L.A.). For example, scientists were shocked to learn that about 90 percent of the fibers in the primary visceral nerve, the vagus, carry information from the gut to the brain and not the other way around. “Some of that info is decidedly unpleasant,” Gershon says.
Cutting-edge research is currently investigating how the second brain mediates the body’s immune response; after all, at least 70 percent of our immune system is aimed at the gut to expel and kill foreign invaders.
U.C.L.A.’s Mayer is doing work on how the trillions of bacteria in the gut “communicate” with enteric nervous system cells (which they greatly outnumber). His work with the gut’s nervous system has led him to think that in coming years psychiatry will need to expand to treat the second brain in addition to the one atop the shoulders.
For example, I come from the United States of America (U.S.A.) where the modern westernized lifestyle and diet have caused mental diseases and obesity levels to skyrocket.
Today, approximately 40% of Americans are considered obese and according to John Hopkins, “an estimated 26% of Americans ages 18 and older — about 1 in 4 adults — suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder and many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time like depressive illnesses which tends to co-occur with substance abuse and anxiety disorders.
This research is profound as it relates to the current human condition of Modernity.
My theory is that we are truly dual beings that have separated what Christians call the Holy Spirit from what the Gnostics called the “counterfeit spirit” and also the ancient knowledge thereof.
The “counterfeit spirit” or demons with faces on their stomachs” is who I believe scientist call today the “second brain” of these quantified “foreign invaders” that have been scientifically verified to inhabit our stomach/gastrointestinal tracts and in fact cause people to become possessed AKA illness, disease, and crazy.
By doing so, little by little we became ignorant of these ancient teachings and as a result, these foreign invaders, AKA the demons and their Chief, the Devil have gained the upper hand on humanity which they feed upon their emotions, desires, their flesh, and their minds.
Over time, the Western world could not see God so they divorced themselves from his good graces and the result is what we see today.
A sick world where the Devil AKA the Corona Virus/COVID-19 plague has taken over the globe in its attempts to drag everyone to hell kicking and screaming.
In a way, we can say that we are kissing the Devil’s ass as we eat his shit and he takes us to hell for our payback.

“If networked rat brains are “smarter” than a single animal, imagine the capabilities of a biological supercomputer of networked human brains.”
It appears we have reached a point in this simulated Age where science, religion, myths and, the fictions that have shaped our false reality are merging us putrefying Beasts of Babylon into one demonic super brain connected via the fungal mycelia internet that envelops our souls.
This interconnected cranial network of intelligence that has given rise to not only a global internet but one that expands the universe to the Jovial moon and the aborted stars into the Sky-net managed by the NSA.
A brain to brain interface system that would have made the Templars and Francis Bacon’s mechanical Brazen head look like Mr. Potato Head.
On the same day this week that I posted an esoteric article called Infection – iN fAcT iON, The Scientific American published an article, Scientists Demonstrate Direct Brain-to-Brain Communication in Humans detailing how researchers created a super brain using living rat brains tethered together as if they were microprocessors crating some type of orgiastic intelligentsia network on steroids.
Direct brain-to-brain communication has been a subject of intense interest for many years, driven by motives as diverse as futurist enthusiasm and military exigency. In his book Beyond Boundariesone of the leaders in the field, Miguel Nicolelis, described the merging of human brain activity as the future of humanity, the next stage in our species’ evolution. (Nicolelis serves on Scientific American’s board of advisers.)
He has already conducted a study in which he linked together the brains of several rats using complex implanted electrodes known as brain-to-brain interfaces. Nicolelis and his co-authors described this achievement as the first “organic computer” with living brains tethered together as if they were so many microprocessors.
The animals in this network learned to synchronize the electrical activity of their nerve cells to the same extent as those in a single brain. The networked brains were tested for things such as their ability to discriminate between two different patterns of electrical stimuli, and they routinely outperformed individual animals.”
In 2014, researchers described the successful transmission of information via the internet between the intact scalps of two human subjects who were located 5,000 miles apart.
“We wanted to find out if one could communicate directly between two people by reading out the brain activity from one person and injecting brain activity into the second person, and do so across great physical distances by leveraging existing communication pathways,” explains coauthor Alvaro Pascual-Leone, MD, PhD, Director of the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School.
“One such pathway is, of course, the internet, so our question became, ‘Could we develop an experiment that would bypass the talking or typing part of the internet and establish direct brain-to-brain communication between subjects located far away from each other in India and France ?’”
It turned out the answer was “yes.”

Imagine having little to no free will over the movement of your limbs. Now picture yourself with a hand that you literally have no control over.
A hand which seems to have a mind of its own and often, it is extremely adversarial to you. It will get mad and cause you harm. A hand that also wants to attack and hurt you to the point that it will even try to wrap itself around your neck in order to strangle you, slap your face and leave you black and blue.
I know this sounds like the plot of Hollywood Horror film but this actually happens to people in real life. Welcome to The Science of Human Duality in a modern world where people with brain lesions, seizures and surgery experience a strange medical phenomenon known as “Alien hand syndrome (AHS), Alien Limb, Anarchic Hand or Dr. Strangelove syndrome.” It was originally called “la main étrangère (‘the foreign hand’)” by Brion and Jedynak in 1972 describing patients with corpus callosal tumors.
In Stanley Kubrick’s movie Dr Strangelove, the main character has AHS and is described as “erratic.” His right hand appears to have a mind of its own, at times raising his dark gloved hand in a Nazi salute and at other times, clutching his own throat as if to choke him. Dr Strangelove must try to restrain this rebellious right hand with his left hand.
Alien hand syndrome (AHS) can be described as a medical condition that affects that brain which causes people not being able to control their bodily movements and their limbs seem to move on their own. For example, a person with AHS may move their hand, hit, and or reach for something even though they had “no thought or desire” that caused the hand to move.
It is important to note that most patients describe the involuntary hand movement as if it as a mind of its own and It is that AHS most commonly affects the left hand and leg.
Today, medical Experts describe alien hand syndrome as a phenomenon reflecting a functional “disentanglement” between thought and action. It has been proposed that alien hand should be strictly defined as involuntary movements of the limb, whether appearing purposeful or not, and should be associated with a sense of loss of ownership (Hassan and Josephs 2016).
There are many reports that this alien hand appears to act mostly in a negative or hurtful manner towards the patient and or their loved ones. It is as if the limb has some unseen “psychic phenomenon or unknown entity” controlling it.
Patients with AHS may personify the limb, referring to it as “my little friend,” and often report the limb as “having a mind of its own.” Many researchers quote an example of a patient who reported that her hand intermittently attempted to choke her. Patients often attempt to control the hand as though it were a rebellious child, sometimes rebuking, holding, slapping, or chastising it. Most people who suffer from this disease simply feel estranged from the hand or accept only a tenuous relationship with it.(Clinical Evaluation for Aphasia -Kaufman & Milstein 2013)
In 1908, German neuro-psychiatrist, Kurt Goldstein was the first person to publish a detailed case report about a right-handed woman who had suffered a stroke affecting her left side from which she had partially recovered. The problem was now the patient had no control over her left arm which she described as if it belonged to another person and performed actions that were independent of her own will.
The patient complained of a feeling of “strangeness” in relation to the goal-directed movements of the left hand and insisted that “someone else” was moving the left hand, and that she was not moving it herself.
One day, Goldstein’s patient complained, “There must be an evil spirit in the hand!”
Goldstein first connoted the “alien” quality of unilateral repetitive grasping, the impression that an alternate entity is responsible for the behavior (Goldstein 1908).
Researchers in a 2014 study, describe this negative behavior as the following; “Alien hand might manifest as a self-groping behavior and self-oppositional behavior. Autocriticism has also been reported, with the person slapping the alien hand with the normal hand. The person loses control of the affected hand as if it is being controlled by an external force. The alien hand might grab onto things and the person might have to use the other limb to release the objects from it.”
The researchers conclude, “At extremes, the alien hand has been reported to even suffocate the patient.”
A 2013 study reveals the case report of an 84-year-old African American woman who developed AHS and was so distressed by her involuntary movements that she thought her arm was “possessed by the Devil”.
The researchers had said, “An 84-year-old African-American right hand dominant woman presented to the emergency department complaining of headache and episodes of uncontrollableleft-hand movements. She described the episodes wherein her left arm moved uncontrollably as if it was groping around trying to grab herself on her body. The patient explained that while asleep she felt that “someone is trying to grab means if someone is in bed with me”.
The researchers concluded, “At times, she felt the need to talk to her hand or yell at it in order to command it to stop these embarrassing movements. These movements occurred while she was attempting to eat, watch television and during use of the toilet. The patient was evidently very distressed by these events and thought that her arm was “possessed by the Devil”.”
A 2007 study study reveals the story of a 41 year-old, left-handed, HIV positive, white woman who was admitted to a hospital in 2005 after she suffered severe headaches on her “right side” of the head which later developed into drooling and the loss of control of her left hand which she called a “monster.”
During the same period, she developed brief episodes of left-hand weakness associated with dysarthria. Two weeks later, the patient lost control of her left hand, mainly at night where upon waking her left hand was grasping her right arm. Subsequently, her dominant hand presented extravolitional movements, as if having a will of its own, not responding to volitional commands such as opening a door or holding an umbrella, but groping unneeded objects and having difficulty releasing them.
The patient often found her left hand closed, in front of her face, as if it were “looking” at her.
She was afraid of her hand: “it seemed to be a monster”.
What causes alien hand syndrome?
Most people who have been diagnosed with alien hand syndronme (AHS) suffer from lesions and tumors located in the right hemisphere of the brain and from damage to the corpus callosum which can give rise to “purposeful” actions in the sufferer’s non-dominant hand (an individual who is left-hemisphere-dominant will experience the left hand becoming alien, and the right hand will turn alien in the person with right-hemisphere dominance).
But in the vast majority of patients, the damage occurs on the right side of the brain which causes their left hand to become alien.
In “the callosal variant”, the patient’s hand counteracts voluntary actions performed by the other, “good” hand. Two phenomena that are often found in patients with the callosal alien hand are agonisticdyspraxia and diagnostic dyspraxia.
Numerous cases have been reported of the syndrome after surgery for epilepsy and seizures. which is a neurosurgical procedure with an incision involving the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum is a band of nerve fibers in the middle of our brains that acts as a mediator between our left and right hemispheres of our brain.
Apparently, once its cut, all neurological hell can break loose and then it appears that an alien or little demon then controls the left hand.
HERE IS SOME AGNOSTIC SCIENCE FOR THE FEW GNOSTICS OUT THERE….
Agonistic dyspraxia involves compulsive automatic execution of motor commands by one hand when the patient is asked to perform movements with the other hand. For example, when a patient with callosal damage was instructed to pull a chair forward, the affected hand would decisively and impulsively push the chair backwards.[14]
Agonistic dyspraxia can thus be viewed as an involuntary competitive interaction between the two hands directed toward completion of a desired act in which the affected hand competes with the unaffected hand to complete a purposive act originally intended to be performed by the unaffected hand.
Diagonistic dyspraxia, on the other hand, involves a conflict between the desired act in which the unaffected hand has been engaged and the interfering action of the affected hand which works to oppose the purpose of the desired act intended to be performed by the unaffected hand. For instance, when Akelaitis’s patients underwent surgery to the corpus callosum to reduce epileptic seizures, one patient’s left alien hand would frequently interfere with the right hand. For instance, while trying to turn over to the next page with the right hand, his left hand would try to close the book.
SURGERY FOR EPILEPSY
Pope Pius XII declared against the practice of lobotomy to treat (change) socially unbecoming behaviour, maintaining that a lesion to the frontal lobes would strip a person of free will. This thorny issue was debated at some length by an ad hoc committee of ecclesiastics and scientists. They came to the conclusion that the freedom of will of people affected by such a lesion would be degraded, and advised against their becoming priests or receiving Holy Communion.
