Besides stage magic props and settings, ritually abusing groups use technology, such as that described by Katz and Fotheringham. Military/political groups have the most sophisticated technologies, and much training or programming is now done with virtual reality equipment. Movies and holograms are used to deceive a child into believing in things that are unreal. When a client says to you “I don't know if it's real; how can it be real?” remember that there are several options, not just two: (1) It happened just as s/he remembers; (2) it did not happen at all; (3) something happened, but due to technology and/or trickery it was not what s/he thinks it was; (4) the thought that the memory must be unreal is itself a program, as described in Chapter Twelve, “Maybe I made it up."p55.Alison Miller
About This Quote
The crux of this quote is the idea that our experiences are only as real as we believe them to be. The truth is, experiences are distorted by our own perception of reality. It's all about perspective. If you think you see a ghost, it's probably just a reflection or some trickery.
If you think you've been abducted by aliens, it's probably just a hallucination brought on by some unknown drug. If you thought you had gone through some traumatic event, it's probably just a memory that has been altered by your mind.
