They shot a lot of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" in the area. To see the
devastation all one has to do is drive through the area on I-5 (major
west coast freeway).

*/One of my favorite "sobering" experiences from nature is from New
Mexico, the first time I was driving around the Los Alamos area. I had
not been there before, and noticed on a map that there was supposedly
the caldera (crater) of a dormant volcano in the area. That intrigued
me, so when I saw a sign for the Valles Caldera, I started looking for
a cone. Nada. Couldn't see a thing. So I stopped and turned around and
went back to the sign and read it more carefully and found that I was
in the *center* of the Valles Caldera, and had been for almost seven
miles. The crater is 13.7 miles (22 km) across. Think what *that*
blast must have been like. /*

Among the folks I used to hang out with in a jyotish study group was a
geophysicist who was part of the team on St. Helens when it blew. He
said as they drove out of the area they warned people driving in to
leave immediately. My mother, living in eastern Washington, was on
the phone when it blew with friends in Amboy which is very near St.
Helens. It's still quite something to drive through that area.
Engrams would also be like samskaras.

The term engram pre-dated Hubbard's use of the term, appearing in the
early 1900s having the meaning 'the means by which memory traces are
stored as biophysical or biochemical changes in the brain (and other
neural tissue) in response to external stimuli'. It was a scientific
hypothesis. In Hubbard's scam it's 'a mental image picture which is a
recording of an experience containing pain, unconsciousness and a
real or fancied threat to survival. It is a recording in the reactive
mind of something which actually happened to an individual in the
past and which contained pain and unconsciousness'.
When you look at any spiritual movement or philosophy there is
basically something like an engram, there is something that is
'wrong' with you (which probably you do not like), and the spiritual
system is going to 'fix' it, and you fall into the system because you
think life will be better if you get rid of whatever seems
insufficient in you. In TM engram = stress, in Catholicism it is
'original sin', in a number of philosophies it is 'ignorance' or
'illusion'. In every case a supposed condition has to be reversed or
eliminated, but the methods used differ. It seems in Scientology the
attempt is to get you to face directly these unpleasant memories; in
TM these things are supposed to be gently released. These processes
can be effective, but the danger is the mind as memory gets loaded
with all sorts of explanations for what you are doing. A person
basically does these things to improve their life, but if the
explanatory part of the process takes deep root, you end up as a
'true believer' in the particular philosophy at hand, when all you
were trying to do in the first place was forget something or lessen
the impact of that something.
Cool video of that volcano. One person who had a great view of a
volcanic explosion was the scientist David Johnston who was
monitoring Mt. St. Helens in 1980. He was 10 kilometres from the
mountain when it blew. He yelled into his radio 'Vancouver!
Vancouver! This is it!' and was never heard from again. Road workers
found parts of his trailer 13 years later, but no sign of him. If he
had any engrams from the event, they probably disappeared at the same
time he did. Attached is a picture of Johnston made 13 hours before
the explosion, and a second image of the explosion which he directly
faced (the image made by a camper who was driving frantically away at
the time).

*/For believers in the $cientology myth of galactic overlord and
badass Xenu bringing billions of his people to Earth and throwing
them into volcanoes, this time lapse segment of a Chilean volcano
erupting will bring back memories of what caused all the engrams you
have to pay the big bucks to get rid of through Co$ auditing./*
