"The thought that
the State has lost its mind and is
punishing so many innocent people is intolerable." - Arthur Miller
"Those who hunger for power are
psychopathic bastards."
Chris Hedges
"It is not a sign of a healthy mind to be
well-adjusted to a sick society."
Jiddu Krishnamurti
"I contend that most of the mental illnesses that
we are seeing in America
is reactive to the depraved nature of those who
seek power over others."
Dave Hodges
"Criminal psychiatry and
psychology risk becoming the ultimate
alibi behind which the prevailing system will hide in order to remain
unchanged. They could not possibly suggest a serious alternative to
the prison system for
the simple reason that they owe their origins to it." - Michel Foucault
"Psychiatric treatment is infamously impotent
to address serious mental conditions because the
psychiatrists, as fully
enculturated elite members of society, are constitutionally unable to call into
question the cultural
assumptions in which they are so deeply invested. Their investment blinds
them to the underlying rightness and fundamental sanity of a patient's reaction
to a world gone wrong." -
Charles
Eisenstein
"Mental health professionals in the West, and in
the US in particular, create official categories of mental diseases and promote
them in a diagnostic manual that has become the worldwide standard. American
researchers and institutions run most of the premier scholarly journals and
host top conferences in the fields of psychology and
psychiatry.
Western
drug companies dole out large sums for research and spend billions marketing
medications for mental illnesses." - Ethan WattersLabeling mental illness as biochemically
based creates greater tension than labeling mental illness as a disorder of the
spirit - such as demon possession, incorrect thinking or
spiritual
corruption.
Individuals with "schizophrenia" in Third World
countires fare better over time than those living in industrialized nations.
Over the centuries every culture has developed unique ways to deal with someone
who is behaving in a culturally non-normative way.
"Muslim and Swahili
spirits are not exorcised in the Christian sense of casting out. Rather they
are coaxed with food and goods, feted with
song and dance. They are placated, settled, reduced in malfeasance." - Juli
McGruder
Certain emotional reactions from family members correlate with
higher relapse rates for people who have been diagnosised as
schizophrenia.
Reactions
such as criticism, hostility, overprotectiveness or constant intrusiveness may
cause relapse.
"Spirit-possession beliefs had unexpected benefits.
Critically, the story allowed the person with
schizophrenia a cleaner bill of
health when the illness went into remission. An ill individual enjoying a time
of relative mental health could, at least temporarily, retake his or her
responsibilities in the kinship group. Since the illness was seen as the work
of outside forces, it was understood as an affliction for the sufferer but not
as an identity." - Ethan Watters
In a study conducted in Turkey those
who labeled schizophrenic
behavior as akil
hastaligi (illness of the brain or
reasoning abilities) were more inclined to assert that schizophrenics were
aggressive and should not live freely in the community than those who saw the
disorder as ruhsal hastagi (a disorder of the spiritual or
inner self). Another study, which looked at
populations in Germany, Russia and Mongolia, found that "irrespective of place
. . . endorsing biological factors as the cause of
schizophrenia was associated
with a greater desire for social distance."
"Behavior can not be
pathological. It can simply comport with, or not comport with, our
expectations of how people should
behave. Analogously,
brains that produce
weird or obnoxious
behaviors are not diseased. They
are brains that produce atypical
behaviors.The erosion of
personal responsibility
is the most pernicious effect of
the
expansive role of psychiatry has come to play in American life. It has successfully
replaced huge chunks of individual accountability with diagnoses, clinical
histories and what turn out to be
pseudoscientific
explanations for deviant
behavior." - Irwin Savodnik
Anthropologists and cross-cultural
psychiatrists have amassed an impressive body of evidence suggesting that
mental illnesses have never been the same the world over. In some Southeast
Asian cultures, men have been known to experience what is called amok,
an episode of murderous rage followed by amnesia; men in the region also suffer
from koro, which is characterized by the debilitating certainty that
their genitals are retracting into their bodies. Across the fertile crescent of
the Middle East there is zar, a condition related to spirit-possession
beliefs that brings forth dissociative episodes of laughing, shouting and
singing.
"Behind the promotion of Western ideas of mental health and
healing lie a variety of cultural
assumptions . Westerners share, for instance, evolving beliefs about what
type of life event is likely to make one psychologically traumatized, and
we agree that venting emotions by talking is more healthy than
stoic silence. Our biomedical
advances are hard to separate from
our particular cultural
beliefs." - Ethan Watters
Human troubles - from
anxiety, interpersonal squabbles
to misbehavior of many kinds -
is to be viewed not as an inevitable part of
the human comedy, but as
psychopathology to be
treated with powerful neurotoxins as an expugnable illnesses.
"Mainstream Western psychology has limited
the definition of mental health to the interpersonal context of an
urban-industrial society. All that lies beyond the citified psyche has seemed
of no human relevance - too frightening to think about." - Theodore
Roszak
The vast broadening of the definition of
mental disorders has skeptics who are suspicious of the
motivations of the American
Psychiatric Association and the
pharmacuetical manufacturers.
"Mental
illness is feared and has such a stigma because it represents a reversal of
what Westernized people have come
to value as the essence of
human nature. Our culture highly values an illusion of self-control and
control of circumstance, we become abject when contemplating mentation that
seems more changeable, less restrained and less controllable, more open to
outside influence, than we imagine our own to be." - Juli McGruder
The
metastasizing Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of
the American Psychiatric Association appears to be caught up in a
contemporary narcissistic
quest for individual perfection through
the application of powerful
chemicals.
"Western mental-health discourse introduces
core components of Western culture,
including a theory of human
nature, a definition of personhood,
a sense of time and memory and a
source of moral authority. None of this is universal. One set of ideas about
pain and suffering is being presented as definitive.
There is no one definitive
psychology." - Derek Summerfield
Social engineers
believe powerful neurotoxins are necessary to create a civil and just social
culture of perfectly conforming individuals capable of serving existent social
institutions.
"We say we are being kind, but our actions suggest
otherwise. Viewing those with mental disorders as diseased sets them apart and
may lead to our perceiving them as physically distinct. Biochemical
aberrations make them
almost a different species." - Sheila Mehta
The implicit ideal -
the properly medicated healthy, normal
and truly happy camper - will harbor no serious worries or animosities,
no sadness over losses or
failures, no disappointments with
family, no doubts about
themselves or conflicts with others,
and, certainly not the expression of
strange ideas or behaviors
defined in media as psychopathology.
"For more than a generation the
West has aggressively spread mental illness around the world in the name of
science changing not only the treatments but also the expression of
mental illness in other cultures. In the end, what cross-cultural
psychiatrists and
anthropologists have to tell us is that all mental illness, including
depression, P.T.S.D. and even schizophrenia, can be every bit as
influenced by cultural beliefs and expectations today as hysterical-leg
paralysis or the vapors or zar or any other mental illness
ever experienced in the history of human
madness." - Ethan Watters
Psychiatric
researchers recently estimated
that half of the American population has had or will have a mental disorder at
some time in their life.
Estimates of mental disorders continue to
increase mainly because the
American Psychiatric Association keeps
adding new disorders and more behaviors to the
Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
The American Psychiatric
Association
has been inventing mental illnesses since
1952.
"A survey published in the early 1970s found that
whereas a majority (59 percent) of people who had visited a professional
psychotherapist for emotional distress
reported having been "helped" or "helped a lot" by the consultation, much
larger majorities of people who had consulted a clergyman (78 percent) or a
physician without specialized psychological training (76 percent) or - get this
- a lawyer (77 percent) reported the same thing." - Scott Stossel1952 Original American Psychiatric
Associationdiagnostic manual appears and it contained 107 diagnoses and 132
pages.
1968 The second edition
has 180 diagnoses and 119 pages.
1980 American Psychiatric Association produces
a 494-page tome with 226 conditions.
New disorders and categories added
include:
attention deficit
disorder, attention-deficit
hyperactivity disorder,
panic disorder,
generalized anxiety
disorder, post traumatic
stress disorder, social anxiety
disorder, borderline personality disorder,
antisocial
personality disorder, gender identity disorder, tobacco dependence
disorder, eating disorders, conduct disorder,
bipolar
disorder, oppositional defiant
disorder, identity disorder,
acute stress
disorder, sleep disorders, nightmare disorder, rumination disorder,
inhibited sexual desire disorders, premature ejaculation disorder, male
erectile disorder and female sexual arousal disorder.
A pharmaceutical
corporation has to have a "treatable medical condition" to begin clinical
trials to determine the proper chemical compound for the "treatable medical
condition".
female sexual arousal disorder:
Irwin Goldstein*
develops the medical diagnostic concept of 'female sexual arousal disorder' on
the basis of studies of the genitalia of female New Zealand
white rabbits. Dr
Irwin Goldstein develops animal models of 'vaginal engorgement insufficiency
and clitoral erectile insufficiency' that, when applied to
women, identify those
women with 'female sexual arousal
disorder.'

conditions - including 227 disorders,
38 types of psychosis,

42 years.

of anything,
so classification can be driven by all sorts of factors." -
Edward Shorter
"Effective psychotherapy seemed to require little
more than a willing patient and an
intelligent and understanding counselor
who met and spoke regularly and in confidence."
- Jonathan
EngelLittle is known about the causes of most
mental disorders. Any behavior
can look like a symptom.
Behaviors listed in the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders:
restlessness, irritability, sleeping too much or too
little, eating too much or too little, difficulty concentrating,
fear of social situations,
feeling morose, indecisiveness,
impulsivity, self-dramatization, being
inappropriately sexually seductive or
provocative, requiring
excessive admiration, having
a sense of entitlement,
lacking empathy,
fear of being criticized in
public, feeling personally inept,
fear of rejection or
disapproval, difficulty expressing disagreement, being excessively devoted to
work and productivity, and
being preoccupied with details, rules and lists.
Signs of disorder in
children:
deceitful, break rules, can't sit still or wait in lines, have
trouble with math, don't pay
attention to details, don't listen, don't
like to do homework or lose their
school assignments or pencils, speak out too often or just simply ask too many
questions. (i am guilty of asking way too many questions
)
As Sigmund
Freud* noted,
the signs of potential pathology are everywhere!
There are no biological tests, biological markers
or known causes for most mental disorders listed in the DSM-IV !The
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (currently the DSM-IV)
lists ten personality disorders, grouped into three clusters in Axis II. The
DSM also contains a category for behavioral patterns that do not match these
ten disorders, but nevertheless exhibit characteristics of a personality
disorder. This category is labeled personality disorder not otherwise
specified. It is a requirement of DSM-IV that a diagnosis of any specific
personality disorder also satisfies a set of general personality disorder
criteria.
Cluster A (odd or eccentric disorders)
* Paranoid personality disorder: characterized by
irrational suspicions and mistrust of others.
* Schizoid personality
disorder: lack of interest in social relationships, seeing no point in sharing
time with others, anhedonia, introspection.
* Schizotypal personality
disorder: characterized by odd behavior or thinking.
Cluster B (dramatic, emotional or erratic disorders)
* Antisocial personality disorder: a pervasive disregard for the
law and the rights of others.
* Borderline
personality disorder: extreme "black and
white"
thinking, instability in relationships, self-image, identity and behavior often
leading to self-harm and
impulsivity. Borderline personality disorder is diagnosed in three times as
many females as males.
* Histrionic personality disorder: pervasive
attention-seeking behavior including inappropriately seductive behavior and
shallow or exaggerated emotions.
* Narcissistic personality disorder: a
pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for
admiration, and a lack of
empathy.
Cluster C (anxious or fearful disorders)
* Avoidant personality disorder: social inhibition, feelings of
inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation and avoidance of social
interaction.
* Dependent personality disorder: pervasive psychological
dependence on other people.
* Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder
(not the same as obsessive-compulsive disorder): characterized by rigid
conformity to rules, moral codes and excessive orderliness. Appendix B contains
the following disorders.
* Depressive personality disorder – is a
pervasive pattern of depressive cognitions and behaviors beginning by early
adulthood.
* Passive-aggressive (negativistic) personality disorder –
is a pattern of negative attitudes and passive resistance in interpersonal
situations.
borderline personality
disorder:
A
pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships,
self-image and affects, as well
as marked impulsivity, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of
contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
1.
Frantic efforts to avoid real or
imagined abandonment. Note: Do not include suicidal or
self-injuring behavior covered
in Criterion 5
2. A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal
relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and
devaluation.
3. Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable
self-image or sense of self.
4. Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially
self-damaging (e.g.,
promiscuous sex, eating disorders, binge eating, substance abuse, reckless
driving). Note: Do not include suicidal or
self-injuring behavior covered
in Criterion 5
5. Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, threats or
self-injuring behavior such as
cutting, interfering with the healing of scars (excoriation) or picking at
oneself.
6. Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g.,
intense episodic dysphoria, irritability or anxiety usually lasting a few hours
and only rarely more than a few days).
7. Chronic feelings of emptiness
8. Inappropriate anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent
displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights).
9.
Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation, delusions or severe dissociative
symptoms
[A
well-known borderline was
Marilyn
Monroe (Norma Jeane Mortenson). Norma was born in 1926, and her parents
divorced in 1928. She always claimed she didn't know who her real father was.
Norma's mother, Gladys, because of her mental health, gave her child away for
fostering to the Bolenders, where she lived until she was seven. Norma believed
the Bolenders were her real parents until she was told the truth at this age.
Gladys came back to have her daughter live with her, but when Norma was nine,
Gladys was taken to a psychiatric hospital. Gladys's friend Grace became the
young girl's guardian. Grace married a man named Ervin Goddard when Norma was
still just nine years old, so the young Norma was sent to the Los Angeles
Orphan Home and then to a series of parental surrogate homes. Two years later
she went back to live with Grace but was sexually molested by Goddard. Marilyn
was married three times, first to neighbor James Dougherty tn 1942 when she was
sixteen. He agreed to marry her to avoid her being retumed to the orphanage.
The marriage lasted only three years. She remarried in 1954, to baseball player
Joe DiMaggio, but this marriage lasted less than a year. In 1956, she married
playwright Arthur Miller. Throughout her life she hated being alone and was
terrified of being abandoned. In adulthood she was in and out of psychiatric
clinics and attempted suicide at least three times. She finally succeeded in
killing herself (overdosing on barbiturates) on August 5, 1962.]
narcissistic personality
disorder:
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity
(in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of
empathy, beginning by early adulthood
and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the
following:
1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates
achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without
commensurate achievements)
2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited
success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal compassion
3. Believes that he
or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should
associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
4.
Requires excessive admiration
5. Has
a sense of entitlement,
i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic
compliance with his or her expectations
6. Is interpersonally exploitative,
i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. Lacks
empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of
others
8. Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him
or her
9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
[Theodore Millon
identified five subtypes of narcissist.Any individual narcissist may exhibit
none or one of the following: * Unprincipled narcissist – including
antisocial features. A charlatan – is a fraudulent, exploitative,
deceptive and unscrupulous individual. * Amorous narcissist – including
histrionic features. The Don Juan or Casanova of our times – is erotic,
exhibitionist. * Compensatory narcissist – including negativistic
(passive-aggressive), avoidant features. * Elitist narcissist – variant of
pure pattern. Corresponds to Wilhelm Reich's "phallic narcissistic" personality
type. * Fanatic narcissist – including paranoid features. An individual
whose self-esteem was severely
arrested during childhood, who usually displays major paranoid tendencies, and
who holds on to an illusion of
omnipotence. These people are fighting delusions of insignificance and lost
value, and trying to re-establish their
self-esteem through
grandiose fantasies and self-reinforcement. When unable to gain recognition or
support from others, they take on the role of a heroic or worshipped person
with a grandiose mission. Alexander
Lowen has also specified five major subtypes from Phallic ("Skirtchasing") to
Sociopathic (i.e., dissociative, capable of mayhem and
murder) as outlined in his famous
book, "Narcissism: Denial of the True Self".]
antisocial personality disorder
(psychopathy):
A) There is a pervasive
pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since
age 15 years, as indicated by three or more of the following:
1. failure to
conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by
repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
2. deception, as
indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal
profit or pleasure;
3. impulsiveness or failure to plan ahead;
4.
irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or
assaults;
5. reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
6.
consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain
consistent work behavior or honor
financial obligations;
7. lack of remorse, as indicated by being
indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from
another;
B) The individual is at least age 18 years.
C) There is
evidence of conduct disorder with onset before age 16 years.
D) The
occurrence of antisocial
behavior is not exclusively during the course of
schizophrenia or a manic
episode.
New evidence points to the possibility that children often
develop antisocial personality disorder as a result of environmental as well as
genetic influence. The individual must be at least 18 years of age to be
diagnosed with this disorder (Criterion B), but those commonly diagnosed with
ASPD as adults were diagnosed with conduct disorder as children. The prevalence
of this disorder is 3% in males and 1% from females, as stated in the DSM
IV-TR.
[According to the current DSM
classification system, a diagnosis of conduct disorder is based on the
following criteria:
A repetitive
and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others or
major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated, as manifested by
the presence of three (or more) of the following criteria in the past 12
months, with at least one criterion present in the past 6 months:
Aggression to people and animals
(1) often bullies,
threatens, or intimidates others
(2) often initiates physical fights
(3) has used a weapon that can cause serious physical harm to others (e.g.,
a bat, brick, broken bottle, knife, gun)
(4) has been physically cruel to
people
(5) has been physically cruel to animals
(6) has stolen while
confronting a victim (e.g., mugging, purse snatching,
extortion, armed
robbery)
(7) has forced someone into sexual activity (is a rapist)
Destruction of property
(8) has deliberately engaged in fire
setting with the intention of causing serious damage
(9) has deliberately
destroyed others' property (other than by fire setting)
Deceitfulness
or theft
(10) has broken into someone else's house, building, or car
(11) often lies to obtain goods or favors or to avoid
obligations (i.e., "cons"
others)
(12) has stolen items of nontrivial value without confronting a
victim (e.g., shoplifting, but without breaking and entering; forgery)
Serious violations of rules
(13) often stays out at night despite
parental prohibitions, beginning before age 13 years
(14) has run away from
home overnight at least twice while
living in parental or parental surrogate home (or once without returning for a
lengthy period)
(15) is often truant from school, beginning before age 13
years
B. The disturbance in behavior causes clinically significant
impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning.
C. If the
individual is age 18 years or older, criteria are not met for Antisocial
Personality Disorder.]
Humans are "infovores." The human eye fixates three times a
second, drawn to novelty. Without new information to assimilate, humans
experience boredom.
Cognitive neuroscience explains that
endogenous opioid
peptide neurotransmitters are being
activated. The effect of opioids is pleasurable, the same neural receptors are
involved in the high
from opiate drugs, such as
heroin© or
opium. In the past
opioids were believed to exist primarily in the spinal cord and lower brain
centers where they reduce the sensation of pain. A gradient of opioid receptors
has been discovered in a region of the cerebral cortex, humans' enormous outer
brain layer that is largely responsible for
perception, cognition and
emotion.
In the areas of the
cortex that initially receive visual or auditory information, opioids are
sparse. But in "association areas," where the sensory information triggers
memory and
taps into previous stored
knowledge, there is a high density of opioid receptors.
So the more a new piece of information tickles
that part of your brain where you interpret the scene or conversation, the
bigger the opioid hit.
Staring at a blank
wall will produce few mental associations.
Gazing at something that leads to a
novel interpretation spurs higher levels of associative activity in
opioid-dense areas.
We are thrilled when
new insights tap into what we
have previously learned. Once we learn this truth we seek ways to feed our
opioid desires. The first time we experience
a new perspective - a scene, a movie,
a literary passage, a new experience - there's a high level of activity in
which a few neurons are strongly activated as connections to memories and
previous knowledge. Then we "return to reality," the connections to memories
and knowledge have already been made, the strongly activated neurons produce
less opioids reducing overall activity and opioid pleasure now that we have
absorbed the information.
This agrees with the theory of the
Hedonistic Thermostat and
what any introspective person already knows - old information and repeated
experiences do not give us that opioid hit that we so desire. It also helps
explain the altered
realities of heavy opium users like Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Thomas De
Quincey, William Blair, HP Lovecraft, Edgar Alan Poe, ...
"The sense of space, and in the end, the sense of
time, were both powerfully effected. Buildings, landscapes, &c. were
exhibited in proportions so vast as the bodily eye is not fitted to conceive.
Space swelled, and was amplified to an extent of unutterable infinity. This,
however, did not disturb me so much as the vast expansion of time; I sometimes
seemed to have lived for 70 or 100 years in one night; nay, sometimes had
feelings representative of a millennium passed in that time, or, however, of a
duration far beyond the limits of any human experience." - Thomas De
Quincey |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
created a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of Life - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which
requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church
buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a
personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the
knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has
enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are
spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against
individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate
crime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the
intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The
international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system,
corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered
behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on
cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a gun.
American
social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as
the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power
rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media
by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population
through prior corporate media psychological operations. The results have been
the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do
not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world.
Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the
population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt
international elite that further consolidates their power and which further
their purposes.
