<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Involved in the production, selling and
purchasing of child porn, which means the planned and executed sexual
abuse of children were:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Doctors, lawyers, cops, priests and
teachers...”authority figures” whom children and many others are
not “allowed” to question challenge for their behaviour or blame.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I am sure many of them are smiling,
soft spoken, polite pillars, polite of the community whose friends
and neighbours are, or will be, just shocked. And it appears that it
is Canadians pillars leading the abuse.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Do you suppose that many of these
people are actually parents themselves?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Here is the link- <b><span style="color: orange;"><a href="http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/child-porn-probe-began-with-toronto-man-ends-with-348-people-arrested-police-1.1542666" target="_blank">Don't forget to drop your jaws</a></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I want you to think about something
else alongside this case. Had the police not interrupted this and
managed to rescue these children, and many children all over the
world do NOT get rescued, I think it likely that many of these
victims, who did not commit suicide, would very likely have ended up
in the mental illness system, not believed about what they had been
put through, and many of them would have received a nice psychiatric
containment label, invalidating them for their “attention seeking
stories” since no one believes that the pillars of the community,
or anyone’s parents, would ever harm children. Yet this is reality
isn't it? The FIRST thing the scum of the earth do, including the
scum in the expensive suits, is REDUCE the targets of their abuse to
the level of item, object, or commodity, since doing so makes the
abuse, or use, of them acceptable to the scum of the earth. <br />The
labels reducing the patient to a self contained “disease” process
do not solve real life problems with real people in the real world.
In fact, they often re-traumatize the victims of abuse all over again
and keep them trapped in a position of permanent invalidation and
often increased abuse BECAUSE of the reductionism.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Breaking Bad</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
How do you think I mean that?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Do I mean that someone who breaks away
from the norm is breaking bad, OR<br />Do I mean that we human beings
who want to live a decent life and make it possible for others to do
the same need to break BAD; bad itself. All things mean what they
mean in context. If you believe that you can identify ANY subset of
humanity as the good group or the bad group based on concrete details
like job title, for example, you are delusional yourself.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Do you really want to break the power
of aggressors operating with hidden agendas of domination and
control? If you do, talk CONSTANTLY about the hidden agendas of power
and control and the people using them and do it with the SAME
attitude of observation and clinical detachment which you currently
use in observing and assessing the victims who complain about them.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Believe me...if you invalidate the crap
out of them, while observing and assessing THEM like objects of
observation, often enough, for long enough, they will give up their
“game.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In other words, use your metaphysical
power in a way, on whom, and where it will do some genuine good,
which is not about suppressing the feelings of the victims of abuse
nor making abusers FEEL better about it when, or IF they get caught.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">by
Patricia Lefave, monophrenic</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once
who you “really are” has been <b>suggested</b> to others by an
“authority” who cannot be questioned or blamed for anything, that
is who you <b>WILL</b> be and all you can do is either “admit”
it, or deny it.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Of
course, your “denial” in tautological style arguments, will only
be “proof” that you are who the authority figure says you are;
but you just won't “admit” to it...(right witch?) In fact, your
<b>resistance</b> to your definition is nothing but another “symptom”
of your condition, as is the belief that you are being harmed by
“others” who are only trying to “help” you. Now, your failure
to perceive that <b>AS</b> help, is but <b>another</b> of your
endless list of perception/reaction problems.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now
how do the authorities ruling over all of life with such brilliant
efficiency <b>know</b> all of this, you may be impertinent enough to
ask?</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Why,
it is because everyone who has come <b>before</b> you, and who has
been defined as defective, just like you, after having it suggested
by someone else, have <b>said</b> all the <b>same</b> things as you
and <b>THIS</b> indicates a consistent pattern doesn't it? </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">There
are really only two things that repeat pattern can be: either
symptoms, proving the authorities on this topic to be correct in
their assessments, or, a common experience of REALITY, shared by
many, like you, over a long period of time, which is consistently
DENIED to exist by authrorties, and then re-framed as the delusions
of those who “think” this is the reality of life on this planet.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Often,
everything that is being said <b>IS</b> true, and the only
<b>differences</b> are in the definitions used to explain it, or,
more often, to explain it <b>AWAY</b>.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12px;">How do psychiatric labels shape our perceptions of others - and ourselves? Are there better ways to understand emotional distress? Does the "peer movement" offer real alternatives -- or present new problems? Sera Davidow, psychiatric survivor, director of the peer-run Western Mass Recovery Learning Community (RLC), and co-producer of the new film "Beyond the Medical Model," discusses the politics of language and innovative programs to truly help people in distress.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Thank
you Kelsey Benson, past or present psych student, for posting your
comments and demonstrating for my readers what I am talking about. To
perceive people like me who dare to suggest we are not sick, in the
medical sense, and even go so </span><b>FAR</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
as to suggest that </span><b>wellness</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
is possible despite all the </span><b>DENIAL</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
of that by bio psych! </span></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Some
of the local ones like to act out on the streets where I live and
express many of the </span><b>same</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
sentiments as you since they also are taking courses telling them how
people who say such things should be perceived. I want to especially
thank you for clearly </span><b>stating</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
that you </span><b>don't know me</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span><b>BUT</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">, you are very
</span><b>sure</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> that I am “IN
DENIAL.” (psychology 101?)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">It is
just </span><b>this</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> kind of
certainty and evaluation that I write </span><b>about</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
and I write about it because people who have </span><b>not</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
experienced this or been labelled for it, </span><b>DENY</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
that total strangers like </span><b>you</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
would then behave </span><b>this</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
way toward someone they don't really know </span><b>BECAUSE</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
that person received a label invalidating their perspective in such a
complete and generalized way, that total strangers “correct” us
and then direct us to the nearest psychiatrist to help us accept our
“condition.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I
find it ever so interesting that you believe that having a blog
“proves” a “personality disorder” to you and that you seem to
think my sole purpose is to convince the public that I am not insane.
By “the public” I am going to assume you mean people like </span><b>you</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Actually
I don't really </span><b>care</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
what you, or other strangers to me think; although no doubt that too
will “prove” to be another of my “symptoms.” Once labelled
EVERYTHING is a “symptom” to those who feel they are in much
</span><b>better</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> shape than
those total strangers they advise to get “help.” This previous
statement of mine is one of the </span><b>reasons</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
I </span><b>started</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> this blog. </span></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">You
will be pleased to learn that this blog is old and although I still
post to it occasionally I have moved into even </span><b>bigger</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
and better outlets, actually have a </span><b>website</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
and also belong to many groups of “disordered” people “in
denial” just like me, who think more like I do and many of </span><b>them</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
are actually mental health </span><b>pros</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">.
Some of them right now are teaching in universities in various parts
of the world. How wild and crazy is that? Go figure huh? Perhaps I
can tell you where to find </span><b>them</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
too so you can send them all messages about how they are all “IN
DENIAL” and should stop fighting against bio psych and GET SOME
HELP for themselves! Or perhaps you already know some of them as I
see you are in Massachusetts where many also live who are “resistant”
to the medical administrations of bio psych. Hmmmm. </span></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Do
you know where I see the “denial”? In </span><b>you</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">.
You deny that you are evaluating the lives and experiences of
complete </span><b>strangers</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
and that there is anything </span><b>wrong</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
with that. I also hear you projecting your </span><b>own</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
mental</span><a class="sdfootnoteanc" href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=14497031#sdfootnote1sym" name="sdfootnote1anc"><sup>1</sup></a><span style="font-weight: normal;">
problems and acting out on a surrogate. That would be </span><b>ME</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
being compared to your ex husband. I don't “represent” you ex
husband. I am also a woman by the way. I find it interesting that you
offered me a paired “choice” of either “trying to convince the
public that I am not insane OR getting help.” Thanks for the
</span><b>choices</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> but I am not
very interested in </span><b>either</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
one as I am not going to define myself the way others want me to. I'm
sure that upsets you. Tough. Perhaps if you can't handle the emotion
of it </span><b>you</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> could go
for some psychotherapy to help you vent safely.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I got
a question or two for you Kelsey: does anyone ever </span><b>actually</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
do anything, to someone, designed to </span><b>deliberately</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
cause harm? If so, do people who are harmed </span><b>by</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
others “deserve” what they get? If your answer is “</span><b>NO</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">”
are you from this planet?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">If
your answer is “yes” do you know who is whom, and </span><b>HOW</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
do you know that and especially how do you know </span><b>who</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
is </span><b>whom</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> amongst
perfect strangers? Are you psychic?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Is
that a kind of safety delusion you have there? </span><b>YOU</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
can't get harmed by “others” or get labelled as a “disorder”
because you don't </span><b>do</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
anything to “deserve” it? </span></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Some
people call that “Pie in the Sky”) That is also a delusional
belief a lot of people have because it gives them a false sense of
safety and is sometimes referred to as the “Just World” delusion.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">If
you actually believe that </span><b>no one can be drugged against
their will </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">and incarcerated as
well, unless they have committed a “heinous act” then you are
living in a fantasy world. If you try to make people fit into your
“heinous acts fantasy” world as the justification for forced
drugging, and incarceration, you have it backwards and you do this to
justify your own point of view </span><b>about</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
someone you </span><b>don't even know.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
So that is denial Kelsey. Ironic huh?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I also enjoyed your justification for
the “secrets” of the DSM. Isn't it interesting that most people
can't connect patients saying they are dealing with people who act
like the CIA and the “covert operators” <b>running</b> the system
are always acting like that can't <b>see</b> any <b>connection</b> or
meaning in it that <b>INCLUDES</b> them?
</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Somehow I think I am going to be the
“sick one” no matter what is true, or what I think, or don't
think, which you have covered quite nicely in your comments. I can't
help but wonder what your ex husband's version of events might be.
Not that I would necessarily <b>accept</b> <b>that</b> but then I
don't necessarily accept <b>yours</b> either, psych courses or not.
The point I need to make here is that I did not <b>live</b> with you
and your husband so I really don't <b>KNOW</b> what went on <b>between
you</b> and which of you is the most disturbed. That's why I don't go
to your face book page and try to get you the “help” I decide a
stranger to me really NEEDS.
</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">

<span style="font-size: small;">I found your face book page, and I must
say, I found it very surreal in that you seem to be “correcting”
others who try to tell their own story, while <b>ALSO</b> doing the
same thing <b>yourself</b>. Should I suggest you get off the net,
stop doing those stupid updates and trying to convince the public you
are innocent, have been wronged, and to go get some therapy!! Or
would that be “different” when it runs in the other direction?</span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The assumption that “families” are
ALL loving wonderful people who would never harm the labelled one,
knowingly or unknowingly, is frankly bizarre. This is not the real
world which anyone can see by picking up a newspaper. To suggest that
either caring or not caring what other people think, without defining
those thoughts and ideas <b>specifically</b> makes one even “sicker,”
is more of the usual abstract concepts presented as the all
inclusive, one size fits all, DSM style version of truth which is of
course, a load of crap, similar to predicting life and reality for
<b>others</b> by using horoscopes or going to the psychic fair. It
has no real SUBSTANCE. They are theories with limited usefulness and
which, when proved WRONG need to be abandoned. Mental illness has
BECOME a huge problem in large part because real problems of life and
relationship do not get identified let alone dealt with. Instead,
they get labelled as “real diseases” and treated as if they <b>were</b>
a disease instead of a psycho-spiritual problem. So we suppress them
with tranquilizers or feed the complainers happy pills and IGNORE the
reality which produces them and keeps them going.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My continued blogging, website and
activism, IS about the solution and not the ignoring of “a disease”
that doesn't exist but which someone like you tells me I MUST have.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Your quoting of Einstein applies just
as easily to the bio psychiatrists and to all those who keep
insisting we must see this as a disease process as it does to all of
us who keep trying to penetrate the resistance to hearing. Einstein
also said something else, “am I crazy or is it everyone else?”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">if a psychiatrized person said that, I
think that you would automatically assume it was the one who asked
the question. Yet if it is Einstein asking, would the answer be the
same? Or would it depend more on who you thought the person was in
terms of status than what he or she was actually saying?
</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I agree with you that there is a truth
problem here, just not with the <b>source</b> of it.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">One last question for you: it is
possible for those running the system to lie, cover up truth,
exaggerate, understate, take care of their own interests at the
expense of others, keep information out of the story to make
themselves sound better? Again I ask you, if yes, should we avert out
eyes from that? If no, tell me why that is not possible and how you
know exactly what is what and who is whom in a situation that has
precisely nothing to do with you and which in reality you know
nothing about other than what you are yourself PROJECTING into it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The psychiatrist who labelled me in 11 cost
effective minutes tried to point out my “delusion” to me by asking, <i>“But <strong>WHY</strong>
would they <strong>DO</strong> such a thing? Do you not see? He/they would have <strong>NO REASON</strong> to do
so.”</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's your reason:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They do it for the emotional payoff they
get from doing it which is two-fold.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A. They get to <strong>FEEL</strong> better about themselves
by looking down on those they define as “less than” and who 'deserve” it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">B. They get a form of bonding/belonging
from their agreement with the dysfunctional group of people who think and act
out just like them. This makes their thinking and behaviour “normal.” (Common,
a consensus reality) Since it does, then they can thank God, the universe,
evolution, their genes, etc. that they aren't a nut, defective, or an inferior
human being etc., like him/her/them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>THAT'S</strong> the reason. And there is no reason
(logic) in It.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The dysfunctional superior splitters <strong>HAVE</strong> to
talk <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">both</b> “us” and themselves out of
knowing we can see them and hear them acting it all out, see and hear their
contemptuous mocking and ridiculing etc. from a few feet away. They <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">HAVE</b> to keep themselves convinced that
their group behaviour isn't “really” abuse or harm, because that is <strong>HOW</strong> they
justify it and that is how they keep themselves deluded that they are all
“hidden” in plain sight.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...At this Comment I Got Yesterday on this older post from March 2010.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I get quite a <strong>few</strong> of these but I don't post <strong>most</strong> of them as they are all from the terribly "sane" people who want me to get controlled. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Still <strong>this</strong> one seems so typical of those who want to control the 'defectives' such as myself that I wanted to have a second look at it. In fact, I am moved to answer this one as a special post which will appear here soon... and thank you Kelsey Benson, complete <strong>stranger</strong> to me who is nevertheless quite <strong>certain</strong> about what I need and what my own experience is and where I have gone "wrong" in terms of an ambiguous abstraction of course...</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">nd why I need to be controlled. She has taken courses in psychology you see and so I must be the naughty disordered child for blaming the blameless "others"....that is why I need to stop this blogging and get saved by the psychiatric faith....</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The containment of
psychiatric labelling, the reductionism, the psycho-spiritual isolation, and
the social pressure placed on those who are so labelled</span></span><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 115%;"> IS </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: medium;">the “stigma” and it always <b>has</b> been.
Being defined in this way <b>changes</b> the people defined and it <b>also</b>
changes all the people around that one, who accept the definition and then make
the person “fit” into it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even people
who actually KNEW you BL (before labelling ) change the <b>way</b> they see
you, hear you and <b>relate</b> to you for <b>now</b> you are a disease
process, not a regular person, and experts have <b>made</b> it so.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Labelling human
beings as “less than” or inherently “inferior” to the “normal” humans sends a
clear message to those who are so “glad” that “we” aren't defective like
“them.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">It is also like
waving a red flag for the “Bulls”(ies) in society which signals to the
ass-holes of the world; “we can feel free to abuse this defective person just
as much as we like since no one is going to believe someone who has been
labelled as defective and crazy for “believing' she has been harmed by others.”
<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Though the
psychiatrized may well have been the targets of group abuse <b>before</b>
labelling, it will pale by comparison to the level of abuse generated <b>BY</b>
the official labelling of the individual's experience of life from his/her OWN
point of view, now understood by others as irrelevant, imaginary and nothing
but the product of a bad brain chemistry or defective genes. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: #c00000; font-size: 15pt; line-height: 115%;">Label = Stigma</span></b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: #c00000;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">If you pay
attention you will notice that there are TWO types of labelled people who still
promote the label while fighting the “stigma.” Those who don't promote the
labelling, and there are MANY of us, are mostly ignored by the system for our
dissenting opinion based on our own experience. We are often labelled “non-compliant”
as I was, for refusing to deny our own reality and co-operate with the
diagnostic pigeon holing which tells us, and others, that we “just have no
insight into our own condition” for if we DID, then surely we would be
embracing our labels with gratitude and not worry about any “stigma.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;">I have a
question for Gordon Warme, M.D. </span></b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Warme tells us in
one of his books that he has the same problem with those labelled schizophrenic
as he does with the Jews of the Holocaust and that is; <i>“the taking of a
victim stance brought it all down on their own heads.” </i><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">This is all part
of the ever popular, “we can't blame others” bit. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">My question is:
are <b>YOU</b> not, right <b>there</b> in that statement, “blaming others”? If
so, and you really <b>believe</b> that “blaming others” is a “symptom” of
mental illness, should you, and all those like you, be picked up and taken for
a psych evaluation?<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Or is it <b>different</b>
when it is <b>you</b> doing the blaming?<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<strong></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><strong> April
24th 2013</strong></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I am at the library listening to a
group of people debating and evaluating psychologically/verbally
assaultive group behaviour. The most common emotion displayed during
this discussion are the group's SMILES
and laughter.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">One guy says he would not know what it
was like to be “ganged up on” as he “pretty much gets along”
with “everybody.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There is an old biblical saying, if
“everybody” likes you, then you are doing something wrong.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What always strikes me in these group
assessments is the turn around; the turning AWAY
from the judging of the aggressors and toward the judgement of the
victims. It is like saying you would not be group assaulted if you
had been well liked (like the <strong>speaker</strong>
who wants to feel safe and secure) <strong>by</strong>
those <strong>performing</strong> the
assault. It is similar to other excuses for group abuse or crimes
against individuals. Like women being told they would not be a rape
victim if they were not “sending out signals” indicating they
<strong>wanted</strong> to be assaulted.
Or university students “knowing” THEY
could not get a psychiatric label because THEY
are not sick.<a class="sdfootnoteanc" href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=14497031#sdfootnote1sym" name="sdfootnote1anc"><sup>1</sup></a>
Or idiots trained to believe they can't be a victim unless they
CHOOSE to be and therefore those who
don't know that “deserve” to be attacked as an “inferior.”
This is the stuff that generates Stockholm Syndrome in victims. "I
have to get the psycho holding me hostange with the machine gun to
LIKE me so he won't blow me away. Of course the smiling assessors
rarely, if ever, see the lack of logic in their own assessments;
mainly because they don't really WANT to
see it or hear it. When held hostage it's one thing but why the
delusional need to feel safe when it's NOT you?
Are you smiling too much to get attacked?
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Usually what the “popular” people
are doing wrong is making sure they <strong>stay</strong>
popular with pretty much EVERYBODY. That
of course means not taking an unpopular
stand against ANYTHING.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Then the topic turned to “teasing”
which is usually defined as cute and “fun” and the smiles and
laughter appeared again.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The reason we don't see this problem is
because the <strong>people</strong>
discussing it don't see <strong>themselves</strong>.
You <strong>consistently</strong> miss
the point. The point is this:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Your <strong>GROUP</strong>
behaviour is <strong>DENIED</strong> to
<strong>exist</strong> and is re-framed
as the <strong>imagination</strong> of
those on the <strong>receiving</strong>
end of your assessments and evaluations. This creates the <strong>SPLIT</strong>
in <strong>reality</strong> which you
then work <strong>very</strong> hard to
keep from seeing and hearing in order to maintain the group delusion
of superiority, normality/abnormality and “difference.” There is
no <strong>real</strong> difference. It
is an <strong>illusion</strong>.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Next the discussion turned to crazy
people and the difference between crazy people who are really smart
and crazy people who are really quite stupid. The topic they did not
cover of course is the one on the crazy people who think they are
<strong>sane</strong> and “normal”
and never suspect, for even a minute, that their agreements together
about who is crazy and who is not, is a predominant <strong>symptom</strong>
of the craziness <strong>in</strong><strong>
</strong><strong>them</strong> and the
sick society that they routinely support and enable, with all those
amused smiles <strong>about</strong>
those crazy people who are just not like them. This is another point
of <strong>agreement</strong> between
us.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Here is a new thought for you:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What if you <strong>didn't</strong>
define the people you are discussing in their absence, or worse, from
four feet away, as “crazy,” as <strong>your</strong>
starting point for your group
discussion? How would <strong>your</strong>
assessments and judgements of what <strong>they</strong>
say and do change, and how might <strong>your</strong>
assessments of <strong>yourselves</strong>
and what <strong>YOU</strong> are saying
and doing change as well?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Change
your premise</strong>; change your experience. Change to
World, one idiot at a time. Pretend, just for the fun of it, that the
people you are calling crazy, actually <strong>aren't</strong>
crazy. They are just in a lot of distress from being <strong>CALLED</strong>
crazy ,and then being <strong>treated</strong><strong>
</strong>by others “as if” they were crazy.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Then listen to what they tell you about
<strong>their</strong><strong>
</strong>experiences of <strong>you</strong><strong>
</strong>and others and see if you can make any “sense” of it
when attached to your <strong>new</strong>
PREMISE.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">Think of this as like a game show. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">It will be as much fun as listening to many of my critics predicting <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">my</span></b> future for others.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">Do you like experiments on people?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well <span style="color: #ffd320;">THIS</span> time <span style="color: #ffd320;">YOU</span> get to <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">be</span></b> the “people” ah...I mean “subjects”</span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blog-this.g#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="Footnoteanchor"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="Footnoteanchor"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-family: Mangal; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: HI; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">[1]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;"> of course.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">After you watch the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #ffd320;">Milgram Experiment</span></b><span style="color: #ffd320;"> </span>take it a little bit further. I want you to imagine that the person on the receiving end<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of the shocks goes and tells a family member that this is what <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">happened</span></b> and that a huge group of supposedly “normal” people were <span style="color: #ffd320;">WILLING</span> to push a button that they were told would shock him or her to the point of death and that they were willing to do so for no other reason than that<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>an authority figure ordered them, quite gently, to do so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">What do you think the reactions and judgements of those “outsiders” would likely be to the shock target's “story”? </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blog-this.g#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="Footnoteanchor"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="Footnoteanchor"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-family: Mangal; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: HI; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">[2]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How fast do you think <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">he</span></b> would get a diagnosis and what would it be? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">You see, when you are superior and experiment on inferiors, you don't see the experience of the experimented <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">upon</span></b> as relevant to your theories and that is <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">because</span></b> of the reductionism that justifies the experiment. When you can't see someone who is <span style="color: #ffd320;">SEEING YOU, </span>then <span style="color: #ffd320;">YOU</span> are the one with the perception problems.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b><span style="color: #ffd320;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">Clearly Divided</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">The dysfunctional “normal” like to divide themselves up into basically two distinctive, yet enmeshed, groups. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">There is the group that is endlessly complaining that they have been harmed by others and who “claim” they can't get their complaints heard, or taken seriously, and then there are the “others,” who are endlessly complaining that those “defective others,” whom <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">they</span></b> have had locked up, <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">FOR</span></b> endlessly complaining that those who have had them locked up, <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">are</span></b> the ones who have harmed them and that they are not heard, no matter <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">what</span></b> they say or how many <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">ways</span></b> they say it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">Now everyone <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">knows</span></b> that those who complain endlessly about the complaining of those “others” who have harmed them, are only complaining about people who are actually trying to <span style="color: #ffd320;">HELP</span> them, but those they are helping, are all just too stupid or crazy to recognize that being locked up and controlled for life <span style="color: #ffd320;">IS</span> help and is not harm. This is, of course, a perception problem that the ones being locked up are experiencing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">It would be <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">different</span></b> of course if those <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">doing</span></b> the locking up were the ones <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">BEING</span></b> locked up, because they aren't sick <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">like</span></b> those being locked up, who only claim they are not sick of course, because claiming you aren't really sick is one of the symptoms of <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">being</span></b> sick...well unless you are one of the people doing the locking up who is claiming your not sick, which is different because of <span style="color: #ffd320;">WHO</span> you are; not <span style="color: #ffd320;">WHAT</span> you are. It is very important you see, to understand all these extremely subtle distinctions,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>which those who are being locked up won't be able to do, because they are the sick ones, with no insight into their own conditions, and not experts in these subtleties like those who are locking them up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">Oh, those inherently defective “others”... if only <span style="color: #ffd320;">THEY</span> could be more like <span style="color: #ffd320;">US</span>.'</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">(which “side” do you think I am on in the above description of the problem? Are you having trouble making sense of it? Careful! Don't say that <b><span style="color: #ffd320;">out loud</span></b> near anyone on psychiatric hospital staff now! They all know signs and symbols of mental illness when they see them and hear them!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">It's about your “distinctions,” which are based on ambiguous abstractions, apart from concrete detail or evidence. You know?

<span style="font-size: small;"><i><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>Neurologist Walter Freeman won the
1949 Nobel prize for medicine in honour of his work- lobotomizing
mentally ill people by jabbing a spike behind their eyeballs. Some
reports say he performed this technique around 2500 times, often
without anaesthesia.</i><a class="sdfootnoteanc" href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=14497031#sdfootnote1sym" name="sdfootnote1anc"><sup>1</sup></a><i>

patients calmer, as you might imagine severe brain damage would do.
Somewhere around 20,000 people were lobotomized in this way before
science corrected itself. Freeman was criticized by many in his
heyday, but for </i><span style="color: #e6e64c;"><i><b>two decades</b></i></span><i><b>
</b></i><i>his work continued and it earned him the highest accolade
possible...the rise and fall of the ice pick lobotomy had a lot to do
with the argument from authority...his authority went unquestioned as
one after another, he pulled patients aside who needed help and
turned them into zombies.</i><a class="sdfootnoteanc" href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=14497031#sdfootnote3sym" name="sdfootnote3anc"><sup>3</sup></a><i>

</span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>...Just two decades later the
science caught up to Freeman and revealed that what he was doing was
unnecessary from a medical standpoint and horrific from a moral one.
His license to practice was revoked and he died an outcast. The same

comments on this one from me personally-</b></span></div>
</i></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Did you find this information helpful
in some way personally? Could you relate to it in some way in
relation to your own life? If you are like me, the answer is most
likely “yes.” Now I want to point out something else about it to
you that you may not be noticing.</div>
</i></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The reason we can find these things
<span style="color: #e6e64c;"><b>personally</b></span> helpful and can relate
to them is because they are written mostly as abstractions. Though
our personal experiences are <span style="color: #e6e64c;"><b>not</b></span>
identical, they are <span style="color: #e6e64c;"><b>similar</b></span> on an
abstract level of thought. So we can use this kind of information to
become more aware personally when connected to our own personal life
experiences. The danger in this comes when we decide that <span style="color: #e6e64c;"><b>our</b></span>
personal life experiences, and the concrete details of our
relationships and events, are specifically represenational of
everyone <span style="color: #e6e64c;"><b>else's</b></span> as well and that
anyone who thinks otherswise must be lying, or denying, or only
saying theirs' are different to “seek attention” or to make “us”
look bad, or are simply our inferiors who are unable to understand
their own lives as well as we, who will do their understanding and
even their feeling <span style="color: #e6e64c;"><b>FOR</b></span> them, are
capable of doing.

<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
DSM in my opinion is an attempt to do just that. Defining “reality”
like this comes with a huge cost. It comes at the cost of the real
lives of the people so defined, often done now in ten to fifteen
cost effective minutes and once labelled by experts, the life of the
one labelled is changed forever, and there is nothing s/he can really
do about it. It will be the self fulfilling prophecy when no one will
</span></span><span style="color: #e6e64c;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>admit</b></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
they are wrong to do this and while those doing it are defining harm
as help, the invidvcual on the receiving end of it will only </span></span><span style="color: #e6e64c;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">CONFIRM</span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">

When you read this description, i want you to read it as if there
were two premises. First assume that the situation that is driving
the individual “mad' exists only in the mind of the individual.
Then assume that the situation is in fact real<span style="color: #e6e64c;">
</span><span style="color: #e6e64c;"><b>in external reality</b></span> but
is being denied by those <span style="color: #e6e64c;"><b>creating</b></span>
it and then attributed <span style="color: #e6e64c;">TO</span> the bad brain
of the individual on whom ALL participants are focused as <span style="color: #e6e64c;">THE</span>
problem. <span style="color: #e6e64c;">FEEL</span> it as a group member and
then feel it as the INDIVIDUAL being defined in this way. I have
long maintained that most of the time this is the final act of
someone who sees<b> </b><span style="color: #e6e64c;"><b>no way out</b></span><span style="color: #e6e64c;">
</span>and reaches the end point of murder and/or suicide as the
final act that ends the situation for him or her.</div>

Bio psych of course supports this view by perceiving individuals as
self contained “disease processes” without relationship to
external reality, events or other people and in DOING so CREATES
isolation and increases the stress, and social pressure on the one
so labelled.

If it is true, and I tend to see this as well, based on my own

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><b>Level 3</b>: being the one who sees and understands the manipulations and the covert agenda of those who suggest to others that they will have a superior status and gain rewards, which the manipulators use as the means of getting others to co-operate with their agendas of domination and control and who threaten, in some way, consciously or unconsciously to EXPOSE that reality to others.</span></div>

Unfortunately, the Level 3's <b>being</b> Level 3's often don't see why relating openly and directly as <b>equals</b> would be a problem for the Level 2's since the Level 2's belief, or act, that they are somehow “hidden” in plain sight, makes no <b>sense</b> at all to Level 3's, who often <b>ASSUME</b> the Level 2's <b>must</b> be joking or else are just “pretending” to be stupid.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">In reality, the level 2's are pretending to be superiors who know everything and don't want level 3's messing up their con game by exposing it openly to the targets they already have under control.</span></div>

<br /><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>By Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic</b></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Here's a little
exercise in awareness for all of you reductionists. With the
exception of telling you HOW to do it, this one is self directed.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">First
of course, we will have to know what the metaphors are all </span><b>about</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
so study them first- Brave New World, 1984, Alice in Wonderland,
Ground Hog Day, the Truman Show, and, of course, the Matrix. (take
the </span><b>blue</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> pill) </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Now
let's watch the no doubt, well meaning Joel Gold, find a new
“disease” and convince others via his expertise as an “authority”
figure that his “interpretation” of reality is amazing. He sure
can “read” us “defectives” can't he? He does so of course by
expanding on what he has already been TAUGHT to accept by previous
“authorities,” who are passing it all along and then building on
it, generation after generation, of similar, experts like for example
Sigmund, who , for example, KNEW that women who </span><b>said</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
they had been sexually assaulted, sometimes in childhood, by adults,
often by those they </span><b>knew</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
some family members, were </span><b>really</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
just </span><b>projecting</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> their
OWN hidden perversions. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">(see
how </span><b>that</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> works?) </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
“<i><span style="font-weight: normal;">That
is just what </span></i><i><b>YOU</b></i><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
wanted to happen! </span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Sigmund
cried at them with his “I've got you now”, unquestioned power and
control </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>over</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
them.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Does
that kinda </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>remind</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
you of what </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>abusers</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
tell their own victims? </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-weight: normal;">This
would not be happening if </span></i><i><b>YOU</b></i><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
weren't </span></i><i><b>making</b></i><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
me do it </span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">or
“taking a victim stance” and </span></span><i><b>bringing</b></i><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
it all down on yourselves?</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In regular circles of non experts this is known as victim- blaming
and believe me, the true sociopaths just LOVE the general
co-operation with that.</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Many of Joel's patients over whom he holds unquestioned power and
control have told him in their sessions with him that the feel like
they are in The Truman Show or “trapped in the Matrix.” Joel of
course then “interprets” this, from his position, <b>over</b>
them as objective observer of the subjects, to mean something like;
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">a.
</span></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">“They actually
</span></i><i><b>believe</b></i><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
they are in a movie.”</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
(Matrix Disorder?)</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
or</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">b.</span></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
It must be awful to </span></i><i><b>HAVE</b></i><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
a “disease” that causes you to believe that you are in a
manufactured reality, that is not real, and that you can't get out
of, no matter how hard you try.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">(The
</span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>theme</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
of the Matrix)</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Statement
“b.” is a nexus statement. As it </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>might</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
be described in some other systems of power and control, a nexus
statement is one that is </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>TRUE</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
to </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>both</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
parties but the “interpretation” of the statement, as connected
to concrete details (context) is very </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>different</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
and therefore </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>SPLIT</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
off from each other, from </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>opposing</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>VIEWPOINTS</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">It
is about metaphors used to tell the other, who cannot hear plain,
straight forward language, what it </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>FEELS</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
like to be trapped</span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>
with him, </b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">in
the situation that he is in, while being </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>TOLD</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
what his reality </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>IS</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
by an authority figure who holds concrete </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>power</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
over him and who cannot hear a word he says about it, no matter how
many times, or how many </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>WAYS</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
he tries to penetrate the </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>observer's</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
“interpretations.” </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
difference is like that of a psychiatrist who sees himself as an
objective observer of a “subject” and that of one who sees
himself as a subjective participant in a relationship “with”, not
“about an equal human being. (who may well HAVE more problems in
life than just his relationship with Joel. Still Joel is now another
problem ADDED.)</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In the first case, Joel will make his subject “fit” into his
pre-fab beliefs and will do so as an abstraction in absolute terms.</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In the second scenario Joel will actually LISTEN to is patient’s
problems, accept them as reality and try to help him work out a way
to get past them.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
biggest difference between these two humans is that ONE of them has
the unquestioned power and control over the other one who has no
power at all to either stop him or escape the situation he is in </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>with</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
him.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">So
the one with all the power can dictate to the other the very
definition of reality itself and the other is powerless to change
that....just </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>LIKE</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
in the Sci-Fi movie, </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>The
Matrix, </b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">in
which the patient feels </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>trapped</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
with no way out.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The guys in the suits, who all look and sound the same, are dictating
the nature of his reality to him and there is nothing he can do about
it. That is a current metaphor.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Psychiatric
patients in the fifties called it like being trapped in the sci-fi
novel </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>Brave New
World</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
which Ewen Cameron, M.D. at the Allen Memorial, was </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>reading</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
when he was experimenting with psychiatric patients there, who were
in his “care,” while he was working </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>with</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
the CIA. His colleagues at the time recognized the similarity to the
book he was reading. His colleagues of course, didn't get labelled
crazy for that since they weren't “the subjects.” At least they
</span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>weren't</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
as far as they KNEW. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">George
Orwell, who </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>knew</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Cameron wrote 1984 after that. So does it seem like all the much of a
surprise that the people </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>HAVING</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
this experience should </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>recognize</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
it conceptually in </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>these</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
two books? It doesn't to </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>me</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Believing
you are inherently “'superior” as human beings holds a lot of
appeal to a lot of people because this false belief makes people FEEL
better about themselves. This is </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>why</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Adolph Hitler and a whole host of other dictators, with hidden
agendas of domination, used it and continue to use it as a primary
means of gaining control of populations. It allows them to gain the
support of a whole lot of otherwise “normal' people who are blind
to it and who don't see the true agenda behind it until AFTER it is
already too late. The seeds of war are first planted in the minds of
those who will help to cause it to happen.</span></span></div>

Messiahs.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>By Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This is a simple, yet potent, exercise
for those of you willing to actually <b>DO</b> it.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Statement of a psychiatrized patient
labelled in 7 speedy minutes as; “schizophrenic” or some version
thereof, or perhaps like mine, Delusional Disorder (paranoid)<a class="sdfootnoteanc" href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=14497031#sdfootnote2sym" name="sdfootnote2anc"><sup>2</sup></a>
or Borderline P.D.<a class="sdfootnoteanc" href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=14497031#sdfootnote3sym" name="sdfootnote3anc"><sup>3</sup></a></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Here is the statement:<i><b> “I feel
like I am trapped in the Matrix.”</b></i><a class="sdfootnoteanc" href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=14497031#sdfootnote4sym" name="sdfootnote4anc"><sup>4</sup></a></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Here is your exercise:</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> First, I want you to see the patient
before you as a self contained, walking, talking disease process so
that you can make what s/he said <b>fit</b> into your beliefs, the
DSM and your own training. Got that? If you do, then I think you can
understand why the well intentioned, reductionist, Joel Gold M.D.
<b>genuinely</b> believes he has discovered a brand new “mental
illness” and also why some of his colleagues believe it is just the
same <b>old</b> illness with a slightly new, or modernized,
<b>expression</b> of it being used to reveal it.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I can sure see <b>both</b> sides of
<b>that</b> argument, personally.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The problem is that I can <b>ALSO</b>
see a whole <b>OTHER</b> point of view that those experts having that
argument, as to whether that is a <b>new</b> disease, or just a new
<b>manifestation</b> of the same <b>old</b> one, <b>cannot</b> see at
<b>all</b>.<a class="sdfootnoteanc" href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=14497031#sdfootnote5sym" name="sdfootnote5anc"><sup>5</sup></a></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">That point of view is this one: it is
<b>neither</b> new, nor old.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Now, experts? For your exercise, change
<b>your</b> premise to <b>this</b> one.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I want you to see the labelled patient
before you as a walking, talking, <b>human being</b> just <b>like</b>
you, probably in a <b>lot</b> of distress right then, while in a
relationship <b>with</b> <b>you,</b> and relating to <b>you</b> as an
equal person having <b>a conversation </b>with you. Can you feel your
“objective observer” status slipping, just a bit? Is it making
you a little anxious? If so, is that a <b>real</b> disease just like
diabetes causing that, or is it really more psycho-spiritual/social
in nature?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Here is the statement <b>again</b>;
<b>same words,</b> different premise, changed professional attitude.
What do you hear <b>now</b>? What does s/he <b>MEAN</b> when talking
<b>TO</b> you about the situation s/he is in, right in <b>that</b>
very moment?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Same words:</b><i><b> </b></i><i>“I
feel like I am trapped in the Matrix.”</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">ALL human beings have “perception
problems”, <b>especially</b> those who don't relate<i> </i>genuinely,
and directly, to others. Often the only <b>REAL</b> difference is in
<b>which</b> one has the power to <b>define</b> “reality” for the
other one, no questions asked, or answered and very often with no
concrete <b>evidence</b> of <b>anything</b> accepted, “allowed”,
or wanted.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">After all how would the controllers
<b>look</b> <b>TO</b> “others,” if they looked right <b>AT</b>
others, and “allowed” those “others” to look too closely <b>AT</b>
them, and at what they do with all those good intentions?</span></div>
