擺錘漩渦 (Pendulum Vortex)

The Pendulum Vortex

1/5

人體心理以極其敏感的方式對負面刺激(如不需要的資訊、敵意、危險或其他負能量)反應強烈。雖然正面影響也能引起激情,但恐懼與憤怒的情感強度遠高於快樂與幸福。這源於遠古時期,當時恐懼與憤怒對生存至關重要;那時,喜悅無法幫助防禦危險或尋找食物。此外,整個人類歷史充斥著負擔與艱辛,帶來的悲傷與恐懼遠超快樂與幸福。這大致解釋了為什麼我們容易陷入憂鬱,而快樂卻轉瞬即逝。你是否見過有人因為過度快樂而受苦?相對地,壓力與憂鬱的人在各處都比比皆是。

The human psyche works in such a way that it reacts most strongly to negative irritants such as unwanted information, hostility, danger or any other form of negative energy. Of course, positive influences can also stir strong emotions but the intensity and force of emotions like fear and rage by far outweigh those of joy and happiness. The reason for this originates in ancient times when fear and rage were crucial to survival. What use is joy in a context like that? Joy is not as useful when it comes to defending yourself, avoiding danger and foraging for food. In addition, throughout the entire history of humanity life has been filled with burden and hardship that have brought more grief and fear than joy and happiness. This is generally speaking why man yields readily to thoughts of gloom and depression, while feelings of joy and happiness pass relatively quickly. Have you ever heard of a normal person suffering from too much joy? People who suffer from stress and depression however can be found in good number wherever you look.

特別是擺錘 (Pendulum),尤其是大眾媒體,積極利用這些人類知覺特性。你在新聞中幾乎聽不到好消息;通常新聞先報導負面事實,隨後再鋪陳詳盡報導。隨著新細節不斷浮現,故事變得越來越戲劇化,情緒與張力逐漸攀升,直到故事結束,所有情緒能量才釋放,觀眾也因而短暫平靜。

Pendulums, in particular, the mass media, actively make use of these particular features of human perception. You rarely hear anything good in the news. Usually, in a news program you hear a negative fact followed up with news coverage. New details gradually emerge, and the details of the story are thoroughly savoured and dramatized.

其他有關災難、自然災害、恐怖襲擊與武裝衝突的負面新聞同樣遵循這一原則。事件以螺旋式的強度展開:首先是一個吸引眼球的標題,隨後故事展開,更多細節被披露,情緒與緊張感逐步飆升;最終,故事落幕,所有情感能量釋放,觀眾頓時獲得短暫平靜。無數電視劇集都依循著這種如同海浪拍岸般不斷累積與釋放的模式。從客觀角度看,這些節目看似平凡,所有戲劇性情節彷彿憑空產生;然而,只需觀看兩三集,你便會上癮,因為你的思維能量頻率被這些電視劇擺錘 (Pendulum) 捕捉,注意力也因此被固定在替代空間 (Alternatives space) 的某個區域中。

Other negative news stories covering catastrophes, natural disasters, terrorist acts and armed conflicts are presented according to the same principle. Notice the pattern. Events develop in a spiral of intensity. First there is the catchy headline and then the story is unravelled exposing further details. The tension gradually peaks with emotions running equally high. Finally, the story comes to its conclusion and all of that emotional energy is released into space as a temporary calm descends upon the viewers. Endless TV series are based on the same pattern of build up and release like waves breaking on the shore. From an objective point of view, there is nothing special about these programmes. All the “drama” is literally created out of thin air. However, you only have to watch two or three episodes and you are hooked. Why is this, after all, nothing particularly interesting ever happens? You become hooked because the frequency of your thought energy is caught by the pendulum of the TV series, and your attention becomes fixed on that sector within the alternatives space.

這正揭示了螺旋機制的運作方式:起初,一個人面對一個事實,理論上他可能不會感到太大波動;例如,一則關於某國發生負面事件的新消息,就是破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum) 的首次觸動。如果這則新聞觸動了他,他便會通過表達自己的想法與情感來回應這一刺激。若該新聞與他產生共鳴,他的思維能量便會開始與這擺錘 (Pendulum) 初次觸動保持同頻,從而逐漸加強其能量。與數以千計的人一樣,他因興趣參與其中,使擺錘 (Pendulum) 得以汲取能量。起初似乎無甚異常,畢竟看新聞是理所當然。但當一個人開始釋放出與負面事件同頻率的能量時,他便滑向更接近該事件的生命線 (Life line),開始在整體劇情中扮演角色。隨著這股效應逐漸加劇,他彷彿被捲入一個旋轉加速的螺旋中,就像水流被引入漩渦的漏斗般,最終不再僅作旁觀者,而成為直接參與者。

This is the mechanism that winds the spiral mentioned above: At first a person is confronted with a fact which theoretically they may or may not find upsetting. Let us suppose that the fact is a fresh piece of news about a negative event that has taken place somewhere in another country. This represents the destructive pendulum’s first prod. If a person is touched by the news story they respond to the stimulus by expressing their thoughts and feelings about it. If the news concerns them they will begin radiating energy at the same frequency as the pendulum’s initial prod. Like thousands of others the person responds to the pendulum with interest thereby participating in the overall event. The vibration of the person’s thought energy begins to resonate with the pendulum increasing the force of its energy. Meanwhile, the media continues its campaign. The person follows developments with interest making sure that the pendulum receives its nourishment. This is a typical example of how a pendulum entices adherents into its web so that it can continually suck energy from them. The person who becomes increasingly interested in the news piece absorbs some of its negative energy and whether they are aware of it or not they are now involved in a game, at least as an observer. At first glance, it does not look as if anything untoward has happened. Watching the news is a matter of course. So what if a person gives a bit of their energy to a destructive pendulum? It is not as if it will affect their health. When a person begins radiating energy at the frequency of a negative event, they shift onto a life line that is located closer to other life lines in which such events take place. They begin to play a part in the plot. They find themselves within the impact area of a spiral that rotates faster and faster, drawing them into a vortex, like water into the funnel of a whirlpool. The interaction between the individual and the pendulum becomes increasingly close, and the person accepts the event as an unavoidable part of their life. Their attention becomes selective and it will seem as if new facts about similar events in different countries are popping up everywhere. The person will discuss the news with their close friends and relatives who will no doubt respond with interest and compassion. The energy of the pendulum grows as a result and the individual is drawn ever closer, by the frequency of their thought energy to the life line of the original event except at this stage they are no longer an observer, but a direct participant.

這種被拉入旋渦的現象,可稱作誘導轉變 (Induced shift),使得追隨者最終成為破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum) 的受害者。個體對擺錘 (Pendulum) 初次觸動的反應及隨後的能量互換,促使他轉移到與擺錘 (Pendulum) 擺動頻率極為接近的生命線 (Life line) 上,結果便在其生活層次中發生了負面事件。

The phenomenon of being drawn further towards the vortex can be described as an induced transition to a life line where the adherent becomes the victim of a destructive pendulum. The individual’s response to the pendulum’s initial prod and the mutual exchange of energy that follows induces a shift to a life line with a vibration very similar to that of the pendulum’s sway. As a result, a negative event occurs in the layer of this person’s life.
