Think you know reality? Think you know somewhat of how the universe works? How about your memories? Are they intact? Have they been wiped or altered in any way? Or how about the world physically (almost magically) changing and we’ve hardly noticed? Couldn’t happen, huh? Like CERN or someone screwing with time-machines and suddenly…what you thought you knew of the world around you has changed a little. But not to everyone.

    People, today, have completely different views of recent events and what was once an unshakable, solid, constant reality we all shared and remembered. Now, things are different. Such as well-known lines in movies, song lyrics, product logos, packaging, ads, etc., etc. This will be proven to you when you take a Mandela Test. The Effect is not a matter of people remembering differently, it is the fact that the reality of our time-line has changed!

    These are not false rumors like people believed Jerry Mathers (Beaver Cleaver) died in Vietnam. Or trivia like Captain Kirk never said: “Beam me up, Scotty.” This is the “real” world we once knew is now gone a bit here and there and now has been replaced with something completely different.

    Share this with others. Have them take the quiz and see what they remember? Of the questions, which one sounds familiar/correct and which one sounds odd and can’t be the truth? Go to the end and find the real or current answers in today’s world, then look up the new “facts.” Google or YouTube. The new universe will shock you in many cases because most of us remember these things very differently than the present situation.

    It is not a case of companies updating/improving their logos or changing small things on the packaging. M.E. investigators have checked these items and the companies report: “It’s always been like that.” See for yourself. It’s not a case of studios changing famous lines in film copies, different than old copies. In a lot of cases, the new reality, the new facts, completely clashes with what we remember…because (POP!) some things that we remember well, do not exist anymore and never existed!

    Not a contest or real test to see if you’re right or wrong because there is no right and wrong anymore. There is what was and what is now. The idea is not to get the correct or current answer, but to simply express: WHAT YOU REMEMBER.

    Can you answer the following questions?

1.    In the Star Wars films, did C3PO have a silver, lower leg?

The ANSWERS:

1.    Like all lovers of sci-fi, Star Trek and especially Star Wars, I have seen the films dozens of times. My eyes must have scanned millions of Star Wars images and never did C3PO ever have a silver, right leg from the knee down. He does now. Look at the original trilogy of films and you’ll see it’s true. Every C3PO model has not changed to the silver leg, but the robot in the original films is no longer all gold as we remember it.

2.    There are a vast amount of parodies when Darth tells Luke that he’s the boy’s father. They all have Vader saying “Luke” because he did! It should be clearly heard in our minds, James Earl Jones’ voice saying “Luke.” It’s gone. When surveyed, very few people can believe it. In this time-line, it be true. Is there a meaning here as I have noticed in the differences. Why these changes? Why no more Luke? Look what they’ve done to Star Wars and the Light Side. Does the Light Side get equal billing to the Dark? Hell no. We only know of the Dark Side, really. They’ve killed off the Last Jedi as well as everything good in the world, it seems. Maybe that’s why or one reason for the disappearance of “Luke” in Darth’s classic line? No more balance to the Force. Darkness won?

3.    To have such a famous film-line as “Momma always told me, life is like a box of chocolates…” and have it so altered into the past tense, WOW! Even on closed-caption, they write out “was” and it never was ‘was.’ Why? Is there a meaning here that life used to be made-up of choices, but now we are under the boot of secret, royal fascism and we have no choices to the reality we’ve been given?

4.    It’s my opinion that if you asked anyone: “If you build it, ___ will come,” they’d fill the blank with “they.” Remember the end of the film? THEY all came from surrounding areas to play ball or watch games on this special field. HE? Could this also be a message? Are the Luciferian filmmakers and secret societies waiting for Satan to come? Are changes to our known reality due to dark forces that now manipulate our minds and our physical world from the shadows?

5.    One more time, you can hear the character’s (Morpheus) voice express “What if I told you…” clearly in your head. Check the films, all copies of these films. Not there anymore! We’re in a universe where it was never said. Yet so many know for certain that it was said. Isn’t it very strange that the Mandela Effect tends to demonstrate the artificialness of the world, exactly like the plot of the Matrix? Very fitting that a big M.E. happened in this film.

6.    Everyone should remember that the correct or original version on the recordings had “do.” “What would you do…” Joe Cocker sang “do” and so does everyone else when they sing the song. How could everybody been wrong? Because the original recording has been changed to “think.” Weird, huh?

7.    As more people have listened to the band Queen lately because of the movie, some have made a shocking discovery: The song ‘We are the Champions’ no longer ends with the words “…of the world.” It has been reported to be heard on certain performances, but not on the recordings. Listeners are utterly amazed, waiting for last line that does not come. I thought I heard it at the end of the movie (B.R.), but now as I check online: it’s not in the movie! Does it mean: no more world?

8.    Are you kidding me? Scarecrow in the ‘Wizard of Oz’ with a gun? Get the hell out. See the film again; there he is with a gun in one scene. I’m sure there are no parodies where the straw dude is packin’. He was so scared, shaking and bumbling, funny he didn’t shoot someone by accident? Would you give this guy a gun? Where’d he get it? Why didn’t he shoot the Wicked Witch?

9.    I am very proud to have discovered a big Mandela Effect all on my own in the ‘Wizard of Oz’ while I checked to see if I could find the Strawman’s gun. Found the gun. In my search, I saw another change to a classic line. You can Google this and out comes: “How about a little fire, Scarecrow?” It was in the film. Now, not there and replaced by the line: “Here, Scarecrow. Wanna play ball?” Anyone out there remember Witch telling him, “Wanna play ball?” I don’t think so. Wow~

10.   One more image in the film was completely new to my eyes and my brain. I certainly don’t remember that Tin Man carried a big, silver wrench along with his axe (in same scene with gun). I’ve also never heard anyone else ever mention it. There was the silver wrench! Surprise.

11.   You should be able to hear the distinctive voice of (Wicked Witch) Margaret Hamilton when she orders the flying monkeys to “Fly, my pretties, fly!” Not there anymore. She only repeats: “Fly, fly, fly!” Later, she calls Dorothy “my Pretty” a few times, but the clear memory of “pretties” cannot be backed up because it’s gone from the film.

12.   I remember “click” your heels. I don’t think you tap heels; you tap feet or toes. “Tap” sounds wrong, but today, “tap” it is and not “click.”

13.   “Mirror, mirror, on the wall” is such a familiar line from the evil queen. Oh, there’s some magic going on because the classic line is now: “Magic Mirror…”

14.   Love this one. If you remember Roger Moore in the Bond film ‘Moonraker,’ you’ll remember a big villain he fought with powerful, metal teeth. I remember hating a few of the scenes at the time because it was almost a comedy compared to the first Bond films. Jaws falls in love with a blonde girl; she smiles and the gag was she had braces. When I heard they weren’t there, I immediately watched it again. GONE! That was the whole purpose of the scene where they meet and smile at each other. I looked close, it wasn’t CGI; it was her real teeth without braces. Incredible.

15.   One more movie glitch and it’s a big one: Tom Cruise never danced without sunglasses and without a white shirt, but he does today. In the parodies of the scene, everyone wears a white top, no bottoms and sunglasses. But that’s not how the original film is anymore.
    
16.   It came out that the classic line “Houston, we have a problem,” said by the Tom Hanks character, was heard by many as: “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” Then, possibly, film copies flipped back to the original line. People swore they had heard the variation and maybe they had.

17.   Of course the Hopkins character said, “Hello Clarice” in ‘Silence…’ It was very memorable in the way it was said. It is one more famous line that has gone missing, not there anymore. Yet we remember it as clear as a bell. We’re not crazy, but it seems we’re being made to go crazy.

18.   Those were not the well-known words Sally Field said at the Oscars, but they are now. A large number of parodies have occurred and none of them have “Right now!” Yet, like movies and lyrics and many other things have changed, so has this moment. Check it out, “Right now.”

19.   This is hilarious. To me, it’s the funniest, Laugh-Out-Loud example of the Effect. Do you remember a sixth member of the disco boyband called ‘Village People’? A second black guy, a Military Man? No? Google VP, hit Images and scroll down through the many pictures. OMG. These are not later pix where they added another person. It’s every picture from the very beginning. What? I remember the construction worker, the Indian, the tough biker, black highway-patrol guy and, of course, the cowboy. But, another black guy always in variations of military dress from combat to a general’s uniform? No way. Where’d he come from? Military guy just popped into being, from my point of view.

20.   I definitely remember the Berenstein Bears because I had a joke: “I didn’t know they were Jewish.” I would never have made the joke if they were spelled BerenSTAIN. Researchers of the Effect have found old VHS tapes and sure enough, the labels read: ‘Berenstain.’

21.   Yes, even the King James Bible has altered. It used to be the Lion who laid with the Lamb, now it’s the Wolf. Strange. It’s an expression and also has been the subject of numerous paintings that represented peace. The exact new quote is: “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb…” What does it mean? Wolf is a royal symbol and one of fascism. An anti-Christ?

23.   The correct reference or the way it was: “On earth as it is in heaven.” Something’s changed the Bible and the physical world because the well-known phrase now reads: “In earth as it is in heaven.” What does ‘in earth’ mean?
    
24.   Believe it or not, we now live in a world where JIFFY peanut butter never existed. If you distinctly remember it, you’re not from this universe because there’s only been JIF in this time-line or our present reality.

24.   I remember MGM as Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer, not like John Mayer. (How many times can I be wrong?) Nope, it is like John MAYer.

25.   “Mayer” has also replaced “Meyer” in Oscar Meyer hotdogs and meats. Remember the old commercial of the little boy singing and spelling the product’s name? I played it on YT as I checked the Effect. I couldn’t believe it. My mouth dropped: The kid actually sang “A” for Mayer, unbelievable. Oscar Meyer doesn’t exist.

26.   Mr. Rogers never sang “THIS.” ‘This’ is not in the theme song. But now it is and I guess has always been there. It sounds wrong because it is different from what it was.

27.   Even I know it’s “in a Barbie world.” Wrong again. Not wrong, but different from what most people remember. It’s now “in the Barbie world.” [fake world].

28.   Apparently, Starbucks always had only the lady on the side of its coffee cups. Hard to believe, to pass up advertising of the corporation’s name on the cup. I remember the written name and I’ll bet millions of others do too. Guess we were dreaming?

29.   Long ago, I came up with a joke for Smokey the Bear and it was THE was his middle name. Not that funny, but I would never have made it if his name was Smokey Bear. Never had a ‘the’? Really? I’m stunned.

30.   Why would Looney Toons ever be spelled like musical tunes? Music isn’t the main thing, it’s the cartoons. Like Toontown or Tiny Toons. Maybe we’re all in a cartoon because today…it’s ‘Tunes.’

31.   Mickey always had suspenders. No longer. Disney will say: “Mickey never had suspenders.” Maybe, this time, they’re actually telling the truth?

32.   I’d imagine he’d have a tail because all monkeys do. The monkey is tailless today. People remember that he had one.

33.   I would have guessed Pikachu had black on his tail. Well, that was the way it was. Not the way it is anymore.

34.   I was born same year ‘Alice in Wonderland’ came out; seen it plenty of times; had it on disc. One of the M.E. vids on YT blocked what was on top of the round hats the twins wore. I guessed: ‘propellers.’ It was light-green flags. News to me.

35.   Cheshire Cat was supposed to have said, “We’re all mad here.” There are t-shirts, posters, etc. that express the quote. But now it’s: “Most everyone’s mad here” in the film.

36.   I definitely remember that the car was always called Alpha Romero. ‘Romeo’ makes no sense; where’s Alpha Juliet? According to the company, it’s always been that way. Again, we must have dreamt it.

37.   I’d say: “may be” and not “are.” But in this world, “are” is the proper answer.

38.   Since when was the round Volvo logo the male symbol with an arrow attached? It is today. You wouldn’t think the strong women would allow that these days, eh? Another question I certainly would have missed.

39.   Now it’s ‘Sex AND the City.’ Producers would never make such a subtle change on the title of a very successful show. I think something changed it to “and” and plenty of people remember it as ‘in the City.’  

40.   Similarly, I remember ‘Interview with a Vampire.’ In today’s universe, it is ‘Interview with the Vampire.’

41.   Monopoly Man no longer has a monocle, yet we (mostly) remember he had one. How could the old logo have changed? But it did, to most everyone’s recollection.

42.   There has only ever been a snake, asp or cobra on the forehead of King Tut. Wrong. Now. Next to the snake, is a vulture, believe it or not. This has to be a new development to just about everybody.

43.   Da Vinci’s enigmatic ‘Mona Lisa.’ Is she smiling? Many have wondered down through the centuries. The old thought was she was emotionless. But now she seems to smile a bit. Some have described it as a “smirk.”

44.   In the famous painting of King Henry VIII, according to memories of most people, he held a turkey leg in his right hand. Seems fitting, for the big guy. No longer. Now it’s a purse. What’s the meaning of the change? I understand Dorian Gray’s painting changing, but not King Henry’s portrait.

45.   People claim that in the statue of ‘The Thinker,’ his hand rests on his forehead. There are images of this (Tebow) position in people. No, the statue has always had the hand on his chin. Why have so many seen it or recalled it a different way?

46.   The famous, sitting sculpture of Moses now has HORNS! What? Anyone remember that being true? Could this be a clear message from the devil? (Hey, skeptics, are you sure nothing’s going on?).

47.   Many people distinctly remember the color chartreuse being rose-colored. I think I do as well. But now it’s green-colored. Even a French liqueur of same name, made by Carthusian monks, apparently, has turned green and has always been green in color. I’d imagine the rose color would’ve been better.

48.   According to my understanding, the Lindbergh baby was found dead and German Bruno Hauptmann was convicted for the crime, just as the record states. But, many people believe the baby and also the killer were never found.

49.   The true answer is 6 for the normal time-line. The motorcade was a 6-seater and 6 people were in it, which included Governor Connally, his wife and two feds in the front seats. But you never know anymore. Some people swear to only 4 in the motorcade. This is backed up by some photos and supposedly accurate representations with only 4 passengers.

50.   The statue is on Liberty Island. European immigrants were known for arriving in New York on Ellis Island. Truthfully, I’ve never heard of Liberty Island until recently.

51.   There are countless reports from many people over the last century that they visited the Statue of Liberty and were up in the torch part. I would like to see their photos because, according to records: The highest section or torch part of the statue has been closed off due to unsafe conditions. No one’s been up there. Previously, I would have chalked the stories up to rumors, lies or exaggeration. But after realizing what’s called the Mandela Effect, I’m not so sure.

52.   To my ear, “Daylight Savings Time” sounds correct. I think most would agree. That’s not what it is. It’s ‘Daylight Saving.’ These examples are not that people have gotten it wrong over time and passed on errors from facts. No, there’s been a SHIFT. Facts are now very different~

53.   To many people’s recollection, Thanksgiving was on the 3rd Thursday in November. Has it magically moved to the fourth? It’s the 4th.

54.   Followers of Judge Judy claim they’ve seen her use the gavel often when she’s angry and making a strong point. Others say NEVER. I might side with never.

55.   Never. I’ve seen every STNG episode about 10 times each over more than 30 years. Picard with a fidget tool, a clear/polished crystal 7 or 8 inches long? Nope. But, if I reexamined episodes today, it would undoubtedly pop up. Now, there are images of it and even Riker held it.

56.   As it turns out, many people remember a Seth McFarlane with 2 ‘a’s and not 3, as it is presently.

57.   Both Dr. Doolittle movies are now spelled with only a single ‘o.’ This is certainly not how most people remember the spelling of the title or character.

58.   We’ve seen snakes go inside and out of openings behind the eyes in real skulls. Apparently, that’s not possible anymore since bone blocks passages and eye sockets are now small cavities. But if this were true, then haven’t human skulls inside our living heads similarly changed?

59.   I’m a bit of an astronomer, had a great telescope at one time, read many books on the subject and even seen Haley’s Comet. So now it’s Halley’s, like a hall? I would have guessed the other way. [How could there ever be Spelling Bees anymore, if the new reality is completely different than many memories?].

60.   Louis Vuitton sounds like an individual person while “Louie Vuitton” seems right. No, the company’s name was always “Louis.”

61.   Who doesn’t remember a cornucopia on the old brand of Fruit of the Loom? It will be the millennials that won’t remember because another magic trick has occurred. Poof, gone. [Is that the sinister purpose of the M.E. changes to our world? A sad lesson from 1984: If you eliminate the word ‘freedom,’ then you tend to eliminate the concept altogether].

62.   I’ve watched every Johnny Quest show numerous times as a kid. It was Johnny, but no more. I think I would have remembered ‘Jonny.’

63.   Who would ever spell ‘Johnny’ this way: ‘Johnnie?’ I know whiskey drinkers wouldn’t notice, but c’mon! ‘Johnnie’ can’t be right, but it is. Pull out some old Playboys; I’d bet the ads are not spelled the modern way.

64.   As the story goes, Fabreze has only ever had 1 “e” in the middle. But you cannot convince many who remember it with a second “e” in the middle.

65.   It makes little sense for a beer company to call its ‘lite’ beer ‘light,’ as in a bright light. I think even beer drinkers will remember when it was LITE.

66.   Here’s a puzzle. A large majority of people remember the spelling of the cube as ‘Rubix.’ They must be completely mixed-up because it has always been spelled with a ‘k.’

67.   Trick Question. ‘Cliff Notes’ rings bells to most people and some people remember ‘Cliff’s Notes.’ Could also be the reverse. You know what is completely unfamiliar to most everyone? How it is spelled today and always has been spelled, as one word: ‘CliffsNotes.’ Yep.

68.   The chocolate candy bar has lost its hyphen. Most people remember the Kit-Kat hyphen. That, too, is gone from our reality.

69.   ‘Cup Noodles’ sounds off. How could it not be Cup ‘O? We’re supposed to believe it’s always been Cup Noodles?

70.   ‘Mike and Ike’ also seems wrong. Once again, it’s always been ‘Mike and Ike.’

71.   From my POV, it’s never been “OXI” Clean, but now it is.

72.   Same can be said for Pixie Stix. Now it’s PIXY. That’s not how you spell ‘pixie.’ It is today.

73.   One more reality glitch because Cadbury’s Cream Eggs are now spelled ‘Crème.’ And they always have been.

74.   You know, Liquid Plummer had been misspelled from the very beginning. It’s never been ‘Liquid Plumber.’ To most people’s memories, it’s ‘Liquid Plummer.’ Not anymore. Who would spell it ‘Plumr’? We’re not texting. Yeah, it’s ‘Plumr.’ Can’t wait for the future when the universe makes it ‘Liqud Plum.’

75.   If you put “Fruit Loops” in Google (the way most remember it)…FROOT is there in its place. It’s never been spelled ‘Fruit.’ Everything seems loopy and looney in a new world that is subtly different than the old world~

76.   Reality, or what we thought was reality, appears to be whiting-out, and something else is in its place. Wite-Out? That’s what it is and always has been. Where did we ever get the idea the product was spelled ‘White-Out’?

77.   The majority of people might remember the company spelled ‘Proctor.’ I do. No more. Early on, their logo was suspected of being designed by the Illuminati and now a weird name change. ‘Procter’ is a teacher who monitors their students.

78.   Once more, we have a company that misspells their product. ‘Whip’ is now ‘wip’? Since when? Oh, it’s always been ‘wip’ they’ll tell you and they’re not lying.

79.   I swear it was ‘JC Penny’ and I clearly remember their catalogs and store outlets. Big signs with 1 ‘e.’ That means physical storefronts have altered? Because there’s 2 ‘e’s now.

80.   You have never entered a Home Depot store! Always had ‘The’ in the title. That means the physical storefront literally changed in appearance. (Am I in the movie ‘Dark City’?).

81.   Think about ‘Helmann’s Mayonnaise’ and wonder why it has changed into ‘HELLmann’s’? Hel changed to HELL? Maybe there are true significances in the slight changes to our world, editing changes hardly anyone would even notice. Is this warped change like Gump’s new chocolates? We have no choices and it does seem like end times. [It’s not. Don’t believe their lies, their programming].

82.   ‘Skechers’ looks strange to me and I’ll bet to most of you. That’s their logo, always been. It’s sketchy, but…I think its another example of the Effect.

83.   Doesn’t the plural sound wrong to our memory? It’s ‘Herbal Essences’ and it’s never been ‘Herbal Essence.’

84.   The Oreo Corporation also has misspelled its product on the package. ‘Stuff’ is now STUF and it never was before.

85. ‘Morton Salt’ looks and sounds wrong to most people. ‘Morton’s Salt’ must have been a mass-hallucination.

86.   Anyone remember DEPENDS (plural) diapers? You do? How can that be? It doesn’t exist. It is DEPEND. “Where are the Depends I remember?” you might ask. They must be off somewhere with Jiffy peanut butter because they ain’t in our universe no more! What happens when we watch a movie and we see ‘product placement’? What will these changed products look like on screen? Like parodies of famous film-lines are intact and in sync with the original, it could be that products on film show the earlier version or the one most people remember?

87.   ‘Vlassic’ is what most people recall of how it should be spelled, survey says. Today, there is only 1 ‘s.’

88.   CHICK in ‘Chick-Fil-A’ seems wrong. I would have guessed: ‘Chic.’ It is ‘Chick’ and I don’t know what it will be tomorrow.

89.   I would have said the plural, Cheez-Its. Not in today’s universe. It’s CHEEZ-IT. Like “Cheez it, the cops!”

90.   ‘Coca Cola Zero’ is too long to me and seems odd. I’d vote Coke Zero. I would be wrong again.

91.   The company is pronounced ‘lazy boy.’ LA Z boy doesn’t really work for me. “La” is correct, in the present reality.  

92.   Being from Pennsylvania, I might think ‘Pennzoil’ is correct. But it appears to have an extra ‘n’ to me. Now, it’s Pennzoil and the company never changed it.

93.   I remember it was ‘Twizzler,’ singular. Today, it’s Twizzlers.

94.   ‘Elliot’s’ seems more familiar to me than ‘Ellios.’ I never heard of Ellios Pizza. If you look it up, it’s Ellios.

95.   Again, I would have guessed Eddy’s Pizza because I thought it sounded like ‘Eddie.’ It’s ‘Edy’ at the moment, which, to me, sounds feminine: Edie

96.   Where did the ‘wheat’ go? It’s now: ‘Oroweat.’

97.   Most people know ‘Tidy Cat.’ Look again. It’s always been plural: ‘Tidy Cats.’

98.   I used to cel paint animated cels (Scooby had a collar, Roadrunner stuck tongue out; I painted them) and I remember painting Pluto’s collar a red color. There are just a few pictures in Google that are red. Most every Pluto image now has him in a green collar. That is not my understanding of the right color.

99.   The lower chevron on present-day signs and logos of the Chevron Company are red. To many people, there’s been a change and red was once on top.

100.  Not extinct. But. To many people’s recall, it was extinct and were even taught that the bird was extinct. Could the Effect really be the crossover of what were once parallel worlds, only now they intersect? Maybe in one world, Darth didn’t say “Luke”? Wicked Witch said “Wanna play ball?” Now it’s a part of our reality? Maybe in the other world, they got what we remember and their Darth has shocked their world and used Luke’s name where he didn’t before? If this crossover can happen, then the dead can return! Not included in the Quiz were numerous celebrities (other than Nelson Mandela) thought to be dead. As it happened, they were alive and kicking. Billy Graham, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Gene Wilder, Bill Nye, etc. are examples of people that some were sure had passed on…and they hadn’t, as yet. In the case of Billy Graham, some people were certain that they witnessed his funeral on TV, when he really died years later.

Before the world changed, I’m sure many would have come along and thought they could ace or easily get a B on these 100 questions and they probably would’ve gotten great marks. But now, with a Fluid Reality where you never know what will transition out of existence or pop into existence…I’ll bet you got a crappy score on the Mandela Quiz. I’LL BET YOU FAILED, miserably! I’ll bet you didn’t get 50% right, meaning the way things are TODAY, which sound very strange to the ears and are bizarre to the eyes of a lot of us. You got mostly all of them wrong, didn’t you? [So did I. I think I missed every one]. That was because we have clear memories of the way things were, how movie lines were as well as song lyrics and products and loads of other things. But our children and children’s children won’t remember. They’ll think our generation was insane for our beliefs (memories).

If our old memories are ‘wrong’ now and those things don’t exist anymore, where did we get them? Of course, they once existed and we truly remember them as reality. But where’d they go? Why did things reform themselves and morph? What’s doing this? Will everything eventually, drastically and unnaturally change? Fall like a ‘House of Cards’? Why wasn’t everyone caught in the new universe and totally forgot the old, like we’ve seen in sci-fi stories? Some of us remember how it used to be and some do not.

We can’t have trivia game shows anymore; the answers would be all wrong or highly debated by millions of people. Bar bets! Now there’s a thought. If you took the items on this list, a few of the biggies, and BET guys in your local saloon, then showed the proof on the computer, imagine how much you could clean up! You could give them 10-to-1 odds or 100-to-1 and still win! The Effect or the universe literally changing like water is very spooky. Shatters my logical sense that a tree I’ve known for years to be here could now suddenly be planted over there. I personally don’t believe this is fearful news or anything to worry about. Maybe we can use it to our advantage? Make our own magic and positively control things, create a good/nice/loving reality? Break programming, destroy fear! Mr. Spock said, “The bullets are not real. Phantoms! Ghosts. They are to be ignored.” In a world where the laws of physics do not operate, there is no reality.

The new Earth isn’t merely curious and curiouser. Now it’s absolutely incredible and unbelievable and utterly fascinating…
