Is this just my impression or some people find this session different (less true) from the ones before?
Two people: HappyLiza (who has a very poor track record of reality evaluation) and Sentenza who also has a somewhat poor record of "reading". It's interesting to see how HappyLiza "primed" Sentenza who was already "busting to argue" it seems. It's always a good idea to take note of such things as they happen and to maintain your mental/psychic hygiene and do not let suggestive remarks anchor in your brain while you are trying to make your own evaluation.
It could be that we are all prone to suggestions to one extent or another, when we are not very critically keeping track of what we actually allow ourselves to enter our heads. If something is suggested in that way, for some it is easier to let it pass through without critical thinking and feeling and thus get effected by it negatively (especially in regards to the actions of onself towards others that follow). It might sometimes also depend on how "up to speed" or "in balance" one is at the moment of getting exposed to such suggestions.
I think the only way to diminish such effects on ones mental faculties is a critical approach to everything we hear and read and most importantly keep in mind how it can effect our beings and actions towards others. It is very easy to just think, read or hear something without putting the "protection helm" on, and it is most often just later that we can recognize how this or that statement has changed our own perceptions of things (and thus or actions) in a negative way, because we were not careful.
To a certain extent that seems to have become the normal way many people in this world let themself be influenced nowadays. What always seems to be the undercurrent of receiving such suggestions, is the dismissal or forcing of our minds, to forget the objective data pool one has already gathered and just believe a very limited set of suggestions.
Just believing and not critically thinking seem to be the keywords here. As has been stated by many people here, the are many reasons and variables for why the C's could have said what they said. All of which do not involve a "nefarious conspiracy". The suggestion brought up by Happyliza, and later expanded on by Sentenza, can sort of traumatize ones thinking by implying that it actually could not be that faceted, but instead very limited and black and white.
I think the only sure way one can get away from this dangerous suggestibility is to keep firmly in mind the core concepts described in the work. Like that we are machines and react totally mechanical as long as we stay in this state.
So it might be a good idea for Happyliza and Sentenza to take extra careful look now at those tendencies and for all others that felt this anchor creeping into the mind as well. Maybe saying something like this to oneself, as often as possible, could help both of you:
"I'm prone to suggestion that limit objective assessment of reality. When I allow myself to go there, I will hurt and endanger others. I need to remember this and do the opposite as often as possible! Change!"
Writing it down on a paper and reading it daily might also help.
Maybe to make that point clearer, you could ask yourselves to what those suggestions could have lead to? For example, suppose the people here would have started to believe those suggestions and thus Laura would have avoided to do the stem cell therapy. I don't think I have to explain to you what this could have probably let to, considering what was brought up about Lauras serious health issues and her age. Now suppose your limited suggestion was actually false and what the C's have said was a good and right suggestion and Laur avoided it because of your suggestion. How does that make you feel?
Now on the other hand, what would have happened if this suggestion wouldn't have creeped in, in the first? Would it in any way have been worse then Laura further suffering extremely, with all that this possibly intails? Really, what's the worst thing that could have happened considering that Laura is already in a pretty dire state?
Can you see that pretty much all other options APART from tyour conspiracy suggestion, would do much more good to Laura? Or in other words: The suggestions you made are actually the only ones that would have made Laura suffering even more and longer.
A careful study of Jordan Peterson work might also help in uncovering to what primitive and dangerous states we can get to, if we don't take charge and let thinkings and suggestions like those take control. In fact, it is absolutely scary how all of us can go there at any moment, if we don't take extra care and try to be aware all the time.
