Core images are mental images representing real or implanted traumas. When implanted, these images of real events or implanted pictures, are generally used to disguise the deeper trauma or mechanisms at work, geared toward broadcasting negative emotions such as depression, despair, etc. Oftentimes these are used as backdoors through which further psychological intimidation can be carried out. There is a process that can be used to find and remove core images. see Removing Core Images on astraldynamics.com
