This post is a continuation from the first part, please read that article before continuing here. Additional methods of accessing the self via physicality include sensory deprivation through blindfolding, which is seen in Abramovic's work through her institute. Blindfolding performed by Abramovic and her cohorts like Hermann Nitsch are extremely important because these acts are directly comparable to the sensory deprivation documented to have occurred during the officially confirmed MKULTRA experiments performed by the monstrous Ewen Cameron, and even under associates of Esalen such as John Lilly. Sensory deprivation is a specific technique developed by the CIA, as discussed in this article which states in part: "Hebb noted that four of the students in his study “remarked spontaneously that being in the apparatus was a form of torture.” In the last interview he gave before his death, he said, “It was clear when we gave our report to the Defense Board that we were describing formidable interrogation techniques.” Sensory deprivation tank: Sensory deprivation is not in and of itself a harmful technique. It does allow access to a deep meditative state through the body, just as dance and other types of physical ritual/activities do. However, it also becomes an extremely powerful tool for mind control, because it allows programming to take place at the deepest level of a person's being. Sensory deprivation is the most basic example of programming the mind/self via the experience of the body. John C. Lilly developed flotation tanks. Lilly's involvement with the MKULTRA program is debated, but he was definitely active at locations including Esalen, NIMH, and others. Lilly's experiments with drugs like Ketamine during sensory deprivation were the basis for the film "Altered States." Rolling Stone also references Lilly as an important influence on the TV show 'Stranger Things,' which depicts a fictionalized and idealized version of the MKULTRA program. Some press has explicitly noted that the sensory deprivation shown in Stranger Things is "not far off from reality." Salon called sensory deprivation the "CIA's favorite type of torture." This is sensical due to the lack of physical injuries sensory deprivation leaves, but the rapidity with which it achieves strong results. It constitutes a method of inducing extreme trauma and even psychosis, without physical evidence of injury, on anyone from a terrorist or on a child. Psychotic breaks that result can be used to create multiple personality disorder. Salon described the issue: "Sensory deprivation, as CIA research and other agency interrogation materials demonstrate, is a remarkably simple concept. It can be inflicted by immobilizing individuals in small, soundproof rooms and fitting them with blacked-out goggles and earmuffs. "The first thing that happens is extraordinary hallucinations akin to mescaline," explained McCoy. "I mean extreme hallucinations" of sight and sound. It is followed, in some cases within just two days, by what McCoy called a "breakdown akin to psychosis." "It is therefore as insidious as some forms of obviously abusive coercion that are likely to be forbidden under the new CIA rules, like waterboarding, the technique of strapping a subject to a board with his feet raised and pouring water on his face to produce a sensation of imminent death. Legally, however, sensory deprivation is more nebulous than physical abuse, and that is what worries human rights advocates." John C Lilly was at one point funded by NASA to perform research on dolphins that involved LSD and an attempt to verbally communicate that resulted in the sexual interaction of the volunteer participant with the dolphin. This is noteworthy in that it is not the first time LSD research was performed in state-funded experiments on large mammals. Louis Joylon West killed a bull elephant after giving it large doses of LSD in a government sponsored experiment. There are many other examples of the use of sensory deprivation related to state interests as well as "alternative healing" groups like Esalen. The significant issue for the purpose of this article is to point out the use of physical stimuli or lack thereof to profoundly effect the psyche. Sensory deprivation tanks also remind this author of the Skinner's box, which in my opinion would mean that the effect of flashing lights or sounds on the subject would be heightened. (Especially if drugs or electrocution are also used) In this video, the creation of sensory deprivation tanks discusses both the Esalen Institute and Gurdjieff:

Traditional South Korean dance is reminiscent of Gurdjieffian 'movements, which the video below depicts. The clip was also filmed in South Korea:

Through the Clintons and Podesta, Abramovic and her "Method" are also connected to Haitian Voodoo practice. In at least one case she appears to copy Haitian ritual almost exactly. The importance of this tradition in terms of ritual abuse is primarily that it has been appropriated by people like Hillary Clinton and her largely wealthy cohorts. Haitian voodoo provides an especially important example of ritual possession that may represent an ancient variety of multiple personality disorder, borne of the extreme trauma of Haiti's past. Haitian's focus of reaching altered states through the body, the use of sacrifice in Haitian voodoo, and the bloody ritual practices involved therein are fundamental to an understanding of ritual abuse. Altered states through ritual practice are also seen in other indigenous shamanic cultures and the states reached in these cultures may also be compared to multiple personality disorder. Haitian tradition is a particularly strong example that can stand in for other traditions with similar practices from various countries. The discussion of all of these rites would require a book. None of these groups, Haitian or otherwise, is anything particularly "wrong" by inducing altered states. My intention is to describe the mechanism at work so that readers can compare what happens during these rituals to what happens during actual ritual abuse, as it is the closest framework I find relevant and valid. So in the case of actual ritual abuse, one would extrapolate similar rituals to those performed by South Koreans, Haitians, etc etc, but instead of beheading a cow or a pig, one would witness a child being killed. The addition of that type of violence is the reason for attempting to write this post, but it is also the element that I obviously cannot show here. I hope readers will be able to understand that inference in this post. The Huffington Post actually references this concept of ritual as an expression of extreme torture in their article on Haitian ritual: "The spiritual system, in part responsible for the Haitian Revolution and liberation of Haitian people from French colonial rule in the early 1800s, was born within a structure of institutionalized slavery, in which Haitian people were forced into inhuman amounts of labor in the cane plantations, treated virtually as cattle. " Haitian folklore describes a "pact with the Devil," which was said to have inspired the rebellion that led to independence. The idea of a pact with the devil would correlate with the overall idea of a 'left hand path' mentioned by the previously referenced Stephen Flowers. The tradition itself is not "ritual abuse" because, as in Korean shamanism, it is not sacrificing children. However I argue that ritual abuse cults use indigenous practices including Haitian ones as a starting point especially because of the deep trauma in which it was created. Note the use of white robes and blood in Haitian tradition, which is similar to Hermann Nitsch's use of white robes during bloody ritual orgies. White robes worn during a bloody ritual disembowling of a goat was also specifically described in the Finders cult investigation. An older documentary about Haitian ritual:

Haitian ritual disembowling of an animal sacrifice: Haitian rituals may actively interweave trauma with the spiritual, encouraging dissociation to the point of multiple personality disorder during 'possession.' The manner in which one is possessed in Haitian Voodoo is amongst the bloody sacrifice of animals, intoxication, and vigorous dances/movement. When the individual is in the midst of possession, intense movement continues. Movement and bodily experience is central to this ancient dissociative tradition, to the extent that scholarly works discuss the connection: That this tradition was born amidst extreme trauma suggests that it may be an expression of subconscious, extreme personal and societal pain. This parallels ritual abuse groups, who attain dissociated states through extreme trauma, but who additionally inflict pain/dissociation on powerless children, producing multiple personality disorder. The use of Haitian traditions by Hillary and Bill Clinton is also fundamentally important. A strong connection between Haitian ritual, Clinton, and the specific practices of Maria Abramovic is very literally shown in the following image from a Washington Post article discussing Hillary and Bill Clinton's participation in a Haitian Voodoo ritual: Note the illustration on the wall of the building: The similarity between the painting shown in the above image above image is striking when it is compared with a more wel-known photograph of Lady Gaga at an Abramovic "artistic" event (which also included mock cannibalism). The similarity of the pose is uncanny. In both instances a black male is tied to a post, mostly nude and strikes a specific pose. The WaPo article went on to describe Bill Clinton's participation in Voodoo: "Bill Clinton wrote that "the most interesting day of the trip" came when he, Hillary and Edwards got a chance to see voodoo in practice in a village near Port-au-Prince. The priest was Max Beauvoir, a former chemical engineer who had studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. Beauvoir had abandoned that career when his voodoo-priest grandfather died and named him as his successor. Beauvoir gave the three visitors what Clinton described as a "brief course in voodoo theology." And then the late-afternoon ceremony began. Clinton wrote: "After several minutes of rhythmic dancing to pounding drums, the spirits arrived, seizing a woman and a man. The man proceeded to rub a burning torch all over his body and walk on hot coals without being burned. The woman, in a frenzy, screamed repeatedly, then grabbed a live chicken and bit its head off. Then the spirits left and those who had been possessed fell to the ground." Alternative news sources like Infowars have also noted allegations that Clinton attended 'witch' ceremonies with a 'coven' of women, regularly. It is interesting to this author that the Coven was allegedly located in California, where I've previously written about the issues surrounding Esalen and Harbin in connection to RA Anon's abuse. Infowars wrote: Hillary Clinton referenced Voodoo ritual yet again in her book 'What Happened.' This shows that the Clinton's obsession with Haitian ritual was ongoing. NBC News reported: "Hillary Clinton was "tempted to make voodoo dolls of certain members of the press and Congress and stick them full of pins," she writes in a new memoir of her 2016 presidential campaign." This is one depiction of Haitian ritual. TRIGGER WARNING:
