6.4. Curses

Curses are often invoked to explain undesirable outcomes, attributing them to external forces rather than internal processes. However, many perceived curses are rooted in how our brain processes memory, association, and trauma. Here are three observed forms:

1. Direct Curses
These occur when someone speaks a strong statement like, 'You’ll never be happy,' or 'You’ll die poor.' Such statements can embed themselves in the recipient's mind in two ways:

As a traumatic memory, sparking anger and a fight-or-flight response.
As a belief system, where the recipient adopts the curse as part of their identity, orienting their life toward fulfilling it subconsciously.
Mental exercises can effectively disassociate these memories or beliefs from emotional triggers, removing their impact permanently.

2. Passing Curses
These arise from hearing statements that indirectly implant toxic mindsets, such as 'Parents own their children’s lives' or 'We’re just bad people.' Victims may internalize these statements due to unresolved abusive memories, often attributing the toxic mindset to an external curse.

Rather than attributing these to ancestral curses, simulating a conversational approach in the mental canvas can help. This involves visualizing and engaging with the associated entity of the memory in the left prefrontal cortex, unraveling its influence and ultimately resolving its hold. Unlike common misconception of passive trauma, which influences through environmental triggers and solved by reframing, there is method directly addresses the memory by actively confronting it.

3. Conversational Curses
In rare cases, individuals report visualizing an entity tied to unresolved trauma in their mental canvas. This entity often appears in the left prefrontal cortex as an independent figure. While passive memories stay dormant until triggered, this entity becomes animated when engaged.

These visualized entities may initially reflect the subject's internal anger or unresolved feelings, but some report them behaving unpredictably—issuing curses, threats, or expressing hatred unrelated to the subject's life. Upon resolving the memory through deliberate engagement and removal, small external events, like a lawsuit or family tragedy, have been reported to follow shortly after.

Although these 'small disasters' suggest a metaphysical element, they do not return after being faced bravely. This phenomenon remains poorly understood and warrants further exploration.
