Mind meld massage vulcan1/20/2024 ![]() If you have a wiring issue or a lack of bulbs (something I see a LOT), then you will not be seeing your space - and your life - with full clarity. Light is important for the obvious reason that it enables you to see and with less light we don’t see as well (as my brilliant Physics teacher pointed out). If you overlook what needs attention while going hog-wild with decorative adjustments, imbalances will most definitely make themselves known. The Vulcan mind meld stands alongside the other amazing creations such as the teleportation devices and highly intricate yet complete Klingon language, as one of the things that makes Star Trek feel unique.I often point out that ‘function’ and ‘Feng Shui’ actually sound similar, and there is some important crossover: if things aren’t functional, there’s a compromise to the Feng Shui. Thankfully this aversion to the technique stopped sometime in the 23rd century, and became a staple of the franchise. It’s unclear whether before this period of time when the meld was disapproved of if this was something Vulcans were taught or trained in, or what exactly happened to change the cultures views of the act, but it was deeply taboo. ![]() Only a small portion of the Vulcan population was able to perform it, and those that did were considered outcasts due to its deeply intimate nature. While the mind meld is fairly commonplace within chronologically later shows such as The Original Series, and The Next Generation, it was revealed within Enterprise that during the 22nd century (when the series was set) the technique was considered a “deviant” practice. Audiences know only what is actively shown within the TV shows and various movies. The history of this technique's use is hardly explored within the franchise. The bounty hunter race Hazari were also resistant to the mind meld. This was shown most notably during the episode “The Maquis, Part II” from Deep Space 9, where Cardassian Gul Dukat ( instigator of one of the most tragic moments in Star Trek history) is being interrogated, and blocks an attempted meld from the Vulcan Sakonna. Some races, such as the Cardassians, are highly resistant to the mind meld, being very good at shielding their thoughts from the technique. An example of this is seen in the Kelvin timeline, where Spock accident leaked through some emotions while mind melding with Kirk. Often the shield is penetrated somewhat during the meld and emotions, memories, and thoughts are often leaked through into the mind of the subject. Shielding is difficult, especially when trying to concentrate on a successful meld without any of the sometimes unfortunate side effects. On the other hand, when using the technique to mind meld with others to gain information (as is often done during the series), it’s possible for the initiator to put up a mental shield over their own mind, protecting them from being probed by the mind of those who they are probing. When the meld is used within the private life of two Vulcans, the point is to achieve one consciousness and become one mind. ![]() “My mind to your mind, my thoughts to your thoughts.”ĭespite this being the iconic look for the meld, it’s not always required, but the physical contact enhances the telepathic effectiveness considerably.
