Is there a causal connection?

Hearing voices? Auditory hallucinations is the medical term. You can also get hallucinations in vision, smell, touch and taste. Is it right to diagnose all these as symptoms of a psychotic illness? What if your brain was hacked and these are externally induced to mimic those symptoms? What if there is a way to affect your neurotransmitters which will produce these symptoms?

Can you make sense out of anything from this webpage?

I started this series in which I will recollect an unbelievable true story involving the Metropolitan Police, the NHS and a well known establishment media organisation. I asked a simple question.

Can your brain be hacked?

At the end of that part, I tested your knowledge of what I called context coding by asking another simple question.

Can you make sense out of anything on the webpage above?

Same question in this part of the series but a different picture above. I also asked another question.

Can your understanding of things be altered?

Reasoning, they call it. Using the context of both pictures in the previous part and this part of the series, each individual who attempted to make sense out of what they can see in these pictures will have their own understanding of it. They have tried to reason maybe with some bias of trying to decipher something they think I had coded in those pictures. They are actually simple screenshots of webpages which I have no control of and are available for public access from a media organisation. There will be some commonality of reasonable understanding of the information everyone can see because of a language factor. It is written in English which you can read and understand the meaning of what you can see.

For those whose bias was influenced by the hint I gave of what I called context coding may have looked closer to the grouping of articles. Some may have wrongly assumed that it refers to a programming language or AI context. It will help to have that bias of a programming background because AI context does something similar. In both pictures, taking a closer look at the grouping of articles and what I call prior knowledge of facts acquired with prompts, you can have a coded context. Depending on the complexity, that coded context can only be understood by the sender and receiver or more appropriately a conditioned mind.

Can your mind be conditioned with prompts?

Repetitive events are one factor in the process of conditioning your mind. You can call it a natural bias which increases the degree of confidence you have in taking decisions.

Can your understanding of things be altered?

Hearing voices, auditory hallucinations. Which one is your voice? Your inner monologue who helps in your thought process. These voices are distinctive, local in tonality and mimic common themes in British society. They make jokes which I do not find funny but are what the media will say are part of the British culture. They sound very journalistic in nature such as waking me up every morning to the sounds of a Breakfast show, even though I hardly watch or listen to such programmes. Yes, they are different, not my usual inner monologue who has guided me all my life and I am middle age.

Do you know yourself?

How deep can you wonder in you mind and discovery yourself? It starts with control and knowing when I have initiated my thought process. No, that is not me thinking. That idea will never cross my mind. A constant daily battle to stop these foreign voices. Foreign, as inside my mind but very English they are. This battle of who controls my thought process is constant. Should my inner monologue just keep talking over and interrupting these foreigners all the time? Tried but does not work. That is what they want, to keep you engaged. Should I try some distraction with work? That should keep my thoughts process busy. No, they have now morphed into being experts in my field of work. Constantly interrupting, they know better. We can help you, they say but it comes at a cost.

Why did I wake up one morning hearing voices? I started the previous part of this series with the definition of a coincidence. What cause this sudden change in my mind? The cost alluded to by these voices was related to my online activities on a well known establishment media organisation website.

Did I decipher some coded context?

I am the conditioned mind but who is on the other side of these messages. These voices, not my inner monologue, are certainly aware of the prior knowledge of facts. They therefore have the same understanding of what I can see from these webpages using my eyes. Unless I change something to make it unique. I make it relevant at the time I want it to be. I control what is relevant to me, then no one knows what I think.

In the previous part of this series I said timing and event was a critical factor in this unbelievable true story. Am I just a middle age person having struggles with voices I can hear? A coincidence? Not untill I recollect what then start to happen in the real world with timing and events. My thought process, the voices and the reaction in certain circumstances in the real world at the exact time I turn up at specific locations.
