What is happening to everyone today? Why are there so many
mass killings? What can we do to stop this evil and horror that seems to have
taken our nation by storm and which we are also seeing in other countries
especially in Europe? What is making people especially young men so angry?
Many of us are truly horrified by the various shooting but
the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut goes beyond
anything anyone could have imagined.
Twenty children all gunned down. They were all virtually
babies who were still enjoying the excitement of growing up dreaming of what
they would be when they grew up. What a
tragedy.
Where do we point the finger of blame? Is it the mother of
the shooter Adam Lanza or the divorce of his parents or is it the video games
he so loved playing or the drugs if he was on medication or is it the culture
of violence and death we have in our country whereby violence on television and
in movies is accepted as entertainment that has desensitized people or is it
the gun loving culture.
All these share in the blame. There is however a big
elephant in the room – the effect of computer use on human mental health and
ability to cope with emotional trauma.
As far as I know from the media reports on the various mass
shootings that have been occurring all over the country, one thing stands out,
all the shooters were computer users and a lot of their motives and mode of
operation were uncovered by searching their computers for evidence.
To me as an expert on the topic of computer use induced
health conditions, we are beginning to see the health effects of the decision
that we have taken as a people on earth to engage in constant exposure to
lifeless artificial light our beings are not coded with through computer use
without putting the necessary preventive measures in place and without taking
steps to reduce other negative aspects of our culture to prevent our human
computer systems from being overwhelmed.
I will explain things in as simple a way as possible so we
call understand the basic principles involved.
We are coded to be in constant presence of life containing
light recharging our control messaging system of light fields we call
neurotransmitters so we are in constant mental balance.
Consequently we feel relaxed outside in sunlight during the
day and in the presence of the moon an stars during the night time and are
stressed by computer light, fluorescent an all other artificial lifeless forms
of light.
The natural lights are beamed to us from above via the air
through the water of the moisture in the air.
When this system of control for any reason is affected our
brains and the hearts that operate them will not function right.
If we do not provide a means for self correction, over time,
our system could get overburdened with toxic light resulting in many health
issues including what we call mental problems.
There are two classes of neurotransmitters – the excitatory
ones responsible for action type activities such as motion these include
dopamine, adrenalin, noradrenalin and so on.
The second group is called inhibitory neurotransmitters.
They control the excitatory ones and prevent them from over firing so we do not
just go on and on and on until we crash. That is why we can operate and move
around as humans.
The balance of these neurotransmitters we have determine our
behavior and indeed the way every part of our being functions. They act in
groups.
With this little introduction to the way we are coded to be,
it must be obvious that computer use and its exposure to artificial lifeless
light at such close range must be toxic to our messaging system.
That without going into details is the reason why computer
use can affect our mental health.
These issues cannot be resolved by medication for there is
no drug that can produce sunlight and the intricately complex messaging system
that powers us.
It is not only the system itself that becomes toxic, the
receptors in our skin and openings in our bodies through which light gets
inside us could become infected. The whole nerve network in us could in fact be
infected resulting in all sorts of pain that could be misdiagnose for example
as carpel tunnel or in some cases as fibromyalgia, depression, AHHD and many
other more commonly known ailments and be medicated with dire consequences.
For me as a computer use induced health conditions expert,
It is my belief that whatever else may have been going on in the various
shooters, the depletions in neurotransmitters from computer use is the trigger
for their cascading mental health till they lose all ability to recognize right
from wrong or even feel any emotions.
They lapse into what I call the fantasy mode of being
uninhibited because of the lack of inhibitory controllers.
This means their way of reasoning is controlled by neurotransmitters
that control actions such as attack and aggression without it being directed at
self protection as it would normally be.
The ability to discern right from wrong is an inhibitory
system. If the light fields responsible for carrying out these functions are
corrupted in their delivery or depleted one will lose the inability to exercise
judgment, which is a system of control.
What actions are carried out will depend on what the
individual has been listening to and watching which is what is stored in the
database of the heart.
If this happens to be violent movies or video games or a
violent experience or participating in bullying and so on that is what the
individual will do for they are now on auto pilot.
Consequently they can scheme and plan but it is an auto
pilot plan not based on reasoning but auto reaction base on prior activity.
They will automatically process things like a game of survival in the jungle as
adrenalin and all other excitatory neurotransmitters in the body that are normally
inhibited by reason to ensure their action is only directed at real danger is
off
Excitatory neurotransmitters such as dopamine, adrenalin and
noradrenalin are overly produced during computer use, which is why we feel
excited and empowered and happy and fell falsely in control when on the
computer.
It is adrenalin/dopamine rush much like that of a person on
psychedelic drugs and our judgment becomes impaired.
In fact all computer users are impaired to varying degrees.
This is why this issue must be taken seriously. In computer use ignorance is
not bliss it is suicide.
It is no ordinary mental problem. It is one the medical
profession that is medication based is not geared to understand, diagnose or
treat.
In fact the medical profession in our country is yet to
accept the fact that computer use can cause mental distress. Probably because
it does not know what to do with the problem as it does not also lend itself to
the normally accepted research methodology but to the study of the code of
nature and human machine user manual we call the Bible or Scriptures for
answers acknowledging our maker and programmer in ways done in bygone days but
no longer done in modern times. It would also expose the fallacy of many things
we have chosen to accept today as facts though we know they are not so
Computer use induced health conditions do not have to be
insurmountable issues. There are preventive measures we should have put in
place before going into computer use. We only considered the monetary aspect
and are now paying the price in ways many are unaware of or unwilling to admit.
It is also one of the reasons our healthcare cost is going
up due to routine misdiagnosis of illnesses arising from computer use as due to
other factors.
Mental health issues is only one of the various conditions
that can arise from computer use there are myriads of others including cancer,
kidney and liver, heart and other organ malfunctions, eye and lung problems
including asthma, allergies and so on
It is a problem of immense magnitude because computer use is
here to stay for in today’s world our lives revolve around computer use which
goes beyond desktops and laptops to cell phones, ipads, iphoves, TV and so on,
indeed virtually every means of communicating, entertainment, record keeping,
manufacturing and so on.
Gun control is one of the issues that must be addressed as
well as mental health generally but unless the white elephant called computer
use induced health conditions is accepted as reality we will all be ticking
time bombs over time.
Some talk about arming the teacher. What if the teacher too
becomes so depleted from the computer dependent nature of his or her job and
goes into the fantasy mode shooting all the students, what will be our next
line of defense?
Another thing is that some people actually believe that
computer use helps people to cope, mistaking the overconcentration that occurs
during computer use and which in fact a negative as positive because it keeps
the user engaged.
That over concentration is in fact a danger as it is
evidence of a loss of control in the level of concentration due to
neurotransmitter depletions.
I hope I have helped getting us to begin to appreciate the
immensity of what we are up against an why we all have to take this opportunity
to begin to address this issue seriously before it is too late.
