I honestly dont know if i ever was a "schizo", infact ive never been to a actual doctor about those type of things.....All i know is that iam high and whatever happened to me those months after taking lsd, i loved, wrong timing with the trip though....I would have waited until i was in my twenties I said earlier that schizophrenia rocks, but i never knew what type of mental illnesses i had, i was insane for most of the time though lol :cheers2:
the line between "schizo" and not is security and insecurity....just stay confident and put your faith in love and the oneness of life and I believe you'll be fine. if Nikola Tesla, Christ, Mozart, etc. etc. let society get to them and lost sight of themselves they would be tossed aside, labeled as crazy, and we might not even know who they are today. it's the fact that they had an almost instinctual faith in what they did that made them the other side of a coin, which is being connected to the infinity. that is how I feel on the matter.
FINALLY, a discussion about schizophrenia, psychedelics, mental disorders, and psychiatry. well, i don't like telling many people this and i wasn't originally going to mention it on these forums. but i guess it doesn't really matter, this doesn't mean i'm crazy! i've been in and out of the whole psychiatry system... it was quite an experience to say the least. i have been through therapy, met with psychiatrists, been locked up in mental hospitals(against my will), met MANY mentally ill people, as well as been diagnosed as being mentally ill myself. i was diagnosed with multiple personaly disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline schizophrenia, as well as a plethora of other 'disorders'. and this was all before i started taking acid(much)! :smilielol5: some of the mentally ill people i met are some of the most interesting and incredible people i have ever met in my life. originally i was forced into the system, but once i was in i figured i may as well cooperate and see what they have to offer. what i learned is that the system is completely broken and does not offer any kind of real help to people with real problems. only temporary solutions that are complete bullshit. i eventually stopped trying to cooperate and being truthful, and ended up just having to bullshit my way out of the system. because the way that it is set up now, is like a pit of quicksand. once you get in, you just sink further and further in down to a dead-end. this will cause a person to stagnate and really almost never get out. luckily i have the intellect required to beat the system. it's not hard really. it's all based off a series of tests and studies(you are the study, while you are there). understanding the tests and studies, and how psychiatrists intepret them, is crucial. hell i could fake a psychiatrist out into thinking i was totally insane if i wanted to. the problem with this system is that it is all based on preconceived notions and tests. the method on inquiry which you use can really only have a corresponding method of response. in this way the scientific method only establishes a partially correct, and often biased, view. this is because by asking questions and using tests you can really only have one result. the answer, is a direct result heavily influenced by the question. it is impossible to understand entirely what is going on in another person, even the very wise cannot see all ends. when you go around trying to fix people based on an incomplete view, often what can result is the problem perpatuating itself. the brain functions that cause certain states of consciousness are not just chemical imbalances. they are states that reflect our current place in life. this is true for almost every aspect of our body. physical illness is a reflection of mental illness. it is the mental problems that must be adressed, not the physical problems. when we go around treating things like chemical imbalances with medication we are only adressing the effects of the issue, not the core issue itself. that's like seeing a bunch of leaves blowing around in the wind and then running around and gathering them all up and nailing them to the ground. lmao. the wind, and the core issue, is still there. now, people with mental disorders and schizophrenia really just have a whole lot more to deal with than other 'normal' people. for this, i'll use my balloon analogy. think of a human's mind and the boundaries of their consciousness as being defined by the elastic stretchy part of a blown up bloon. and now think of their actual consciousness as being water, filling up that bloon. schizophrenic people just have MUCH bigger bloons than most other people, but still similar amounts of water. this means that there is a fair amount of headspace within their bloon that is just air. so their water just sloshes around and never maintains a constant or stable state. so even though they have a massive potential, they simply cannot harness it all due to the incredible weight of the potential. sometimes, this can result in extremely negative mindstates. healing, and integrating schizophrenia is brought about through filling up your baloon with water completely, and gaining a stable state. how this is acheived, is a more complicated issue. it's different for everyone, and relavent to our karma. some schizo people really can be violent, and alot of them have violent tendancies. but that doesn't mean that they are always going to be like that. it just means that they havn't gone through the process of actualising themselves to their full potential. rather than just having issues like most people, the weight of their issues and their bearing on the reality around them can carry an awsome burden. it is a much, much harder thing to do than just overcoming some emotional issue, or some kind of problem that one might have. this is why adressing issues on acid is SO much more intense than just adressing the issue normally. but as with all things, more effort and more issues, can only result in more strength and more wisdom. this is the fundamental concept behind psychedelic use. it increases the boundaries of our psyche(the balloon), but it does not directly expand our psyche(the water). also this is the case with kundalini awakening. these things can increase our potential, but if our psyche cannot handle that potential, then disaster will result. there have been cases of people becoming completely insane for the rest of their lives from premature kundalini awakening. i am sure the same concept can be applied to psychedelic use. so when taking into account these higher states of consciousness, if you will, you also need to realise than even though the potential is greater, the burden is also greater. if one cannot handle the burden, then everything crumbles. and then i'm not even going to begin to get into the cultural bias against such individuals, this post is too long already. generally people like this are not in positions of power, while the mentally corrupt are. which results in their persecution. it has been happening for all of human history dating back to the jews in egypt, the beginnings of christianity, etc. the technologies and the times have changed, but the struggles are still the same. for our entire history, our progress as a whole has been minimal. even moreso today, people are persecuted for thinking outside of the box. people are incredibly grounded in their realities and today's society, and they will do anything to defend it. but i really don't have the time to go back and edit all this to make it a more flowing arguement, so i guess you will all have to deal with my less than stellar interpretation of psychedelics, mental disorders, psychiatry, and society. just my 2c anyway. peace. eace:
i do genuinely cringe sometimes when i read itsallgood's posts. i just wanna pet his mind and let him know its ok, his mind is just like his arm, another organ, it evens sweats as well, but thoughts instead of saltwater.
lmaoo well i will let you pet my mind..But my mind is really not like my arm at all....My mind doesnt sweat, my head does but my mind doesnt infact i have no idea what my mind does besides what every other type of mind does....But cringing at my posts i must take as a insult....And damn right my avater is cute
Its also a way to cool the body off whenever hot....So my mind was cooling off but also releasing toxic wastage...The body is quite a amazing thing, some of the body parts are pretty disgusting but all in all its amazing lol
It's weird. I don't cringe when I read itsallgood's post, but if anyone else said the things that he says, I really would cringe lol. He is just a real special dude.
