"There are cultural
myths that are easy to overturn. People see through them quickly. But
the prevailing core myths are tougher. Much tougher. Most people
resist even discussing them. In the old days, the Church tortured and
burned people who discussed them. Now, it's social ostracism. Now, in
some cases, it's the State kidnapping children to send a message." (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
Since
none of the 300 official mental disorders has any defining physical
test for diagnosis, there is no proof they exist. Period.
You
could interview thousands of people who say they feel depressed, and you
would find significant differences. The more you listened to their
stories, the more you would be convinced of the differences.
You would be splitting apart the central idea of "depression" and realizing it has no common center.
This is hard for many people to believe. That's how brainwashed they are.
There are no common universal states of consciousness. It's all unique, from person to person.
Just
as there is no single enlightened state of consciousness which is the
same for everyone, there are no "mental disorder" states that are the
same for everyone.
Keep in mind that a dominant myth is supposed
to be powerful. It's supposed to suck in the majority of the
population. It's supposed to be convincing. It's supposed to be
"intuitive." "Mental disorders" are that kind of myth. It appeals to
people. They like it. They salute it. They fall for it.
A
dominant myth is supposed to be inclusive, in the sense that people feel
lost without it. They can't attribute all sorts of human activity to
anything else but the myth. They can't see their way past it. They
feel stymied without it.
Ever since Pavlov and Freud, the idea of
"disordered mental states" has been expanding. It's reached, in
psychiatry, codification. That's where it really takes on power.
Pseudoscientific gobbledygook. 300 mental disorders. And an army of
medical specialists ready to diagnose and drug them.
It's pin the tail on the donkey, but the public doesn't know that.
For decades, psychiatrists have been claiming that mental disorders are, at the root, chemical imbalances in the brain.
Dr.
Ronald Pies, the editor-in-chief emeritus of the Psychiatric Times,
laid that theory to rest in the July 11, 2011, issue of the Times --- in
Psychiatry's New Brain-Mind and the Legend of the "Chemical Imbalance" (behind pay wall) --- with this staggering admission:
"In
truth, the 'chemical imbalance' notion was always a kind of urban
legend --- never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed
psychiatrists."Researchers had never established a normal
baseline for chemical balance. So they were shooting in the dark. Worse,
they were faking a theory. Pretending they knew something when they
didn't.
In his 2011 piece in Psychiatric Times, Dr. Pies tries
to cover for his colleagues in the psychiatric profession with this
fatuous remark:
"In the past 30 years, I don't believe I
have ever heard a knowledgeable, well-trained psychiatrist make such a
preposterous claim [about chemical imbalance in the brain], except
perhaps to mock it...the 'chemical imbalance' image has been vigorously
promoted by some pharmaceutical companies, often to the detriment of our
patients' understanding."Absurd. First of all, many
psychiatrists have explained and do explain to their patients that the
drugs are there to correct a chemical imbalance.
And second, if well-trained psychiatrists have known, all along, that the chemical-imbalance theory is a fraud...
...then why on earth have they been prescribing tons of drugs to their patients...
...since those drugs are developed on the false premise that they correct an imbalance?
No matter which way you look at it, the concept of distinct mental disorders is fatally flawed.
But the myth survives. It lives on.
Earth
culture wants it and needs it. Earth culture is all about constructing
a deep core of victimhood that reaches down into every individual and
defines and limits him, in the same way that Original Sin and attendant
Guilt imposes limits on a so-called spiritual level.
These myths obscure truly dynamic and creative consciousness, which shapes and invents reality.
The pseudoscience of psychiatry is, on the whole, an attempt to block knowledge of the power of individual creative-force.
The mindless acceptance of psychiatry as a branch of medicine gives it the imprimatur of authority.
Myths
impose standards of behavior and thought. Then they confirm their
validity by observing that people (when imposed upon and coerced) do, in
fact, behave and think in accordance with the myth. It's a closed
loop.
If leaders proposed, recommended, and demanded that
people see with only one eye, the leaders would eventually go on to
observe that people do, in fact, use only one eye.
Obviously,
those who insisted on looking at the world with two eyes would be called
heretics, or mentally ill. They would be called fantasists who
believed in the existence of "another eye."
And because
conformity is the basis for sustaining all myths, sooner or later the
population (most of it) would agree that a second eye was impossible.
