&lt;br /&gt;
Ask Maurice the parking lot attendant at BMO or perhaps the bus driver with whom he just shared the latest. Did he put his own amusing “spin” on it as well?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Or ask the Homewood employee who keeps the ones on her route informed. Or ask a library staff member.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;All I am doing is parroting &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to you all the rumours being acted out for me by the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;PUBLIC&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;/b&gt;correct rumours, partly correct or total fabrications. Yet you at Homewood and the public as well cannot make the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;obvious&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; connection between your &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; acting out, your &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;denial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of it all and my “diagnosed” paranoid delusions and “hallucinated conversations! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I am not now, nor have I even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;BEEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the “source” of these stories. Dale Tuck, a group of his co-workers and the public are fabricating my “reality” &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me. Ironic isn't it? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;In fact, it all has little or &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;nothing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to do with me. I am one of the props in a dysfunctional group “play,” “hidden” in&amp;nbsp; plain sight and into manufacturing my madness as a way of making &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;themselves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “always right and never wrong” as is said in Dale's est training. The participants don't &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;want&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to understand it because if they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;did&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, they could not keep themselves convinced that they are 'superior” in understanding or worth, to me,&amp;nbsp; and that therefore it is OK for them&amp;nbsp; to act it all out in my presence, since I will not &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; what is going on anyway, as I am too stupid or crazy to do so. The &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;CIRCLE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.talkspot.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; "&gt;Start your own blog now!

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Think of this like Occam's Razor, Werner's Razor and Now Paranoid Patty's Razor, in which the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;simplest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; answer is most often the correct one, integrate &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;these&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; two opposites by focusing really &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;hard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; on this “Koan.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I claim that people I do not even know, who also don't know me, are talking about me and the people I don't know, who also don't know me, are talking about me, and about my “claim” that they are talking about me, while they get together and talk about &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;why&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I would believe &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; when they all agree they are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; talking about me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The behaviour of the local population acting it all out everywhere and my statement that they are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; just that, is nothing more or less than the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;SAME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; reality from &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;opposing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; viewpoints. Yet almost no one &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;sees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this. Why? Well in order to protect and defend all the participants in the group from any negative consequences to them for their perfectly obvious behaviour, reality has been split in two and then &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;reversed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. This is the nature of delusional reversal and I am suggesting that this is a very &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;COMMON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; phenomenon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The group, as a group, believes it's members are all smarter, more conscious and therefore “hidden” from an inferior who only “thinks” people are doing “her” harm and talking about “her”, often right in “her” presence like she is not there. The group members of course are not 'the people” since they consider themselves to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;BE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “hidden” from me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I am told that I must &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;accept&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; my inferior status and that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;nothing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; has happened here. I only “think” it has because I have a “mental illness” that causes me to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;HAVE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this perception/reaction problem which exists &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;WITHIN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me and has nothing to do with external reality. That is a really neat “explain away” when you think about it, isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now, once you are diagnosed and defined with one of these imaginary disease labels, it no longer matters at all &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;WHAT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you say or don't say, do, or don't do, since any of it will only be “spun” and made to “fit” the diagnosis, which has been created as an abstraction, in absolute terms, from lexperts istening to all kinds of people “claim” they have had the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;SAME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; kind of experiences with individuals and groups. Hmmmm....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What do you say, just for more laughs, that we try thinking about all of this by accepting it at &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;FACE VALUE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;? What might we see and hear then? Put your “no one must be blamed game” away for just a minute and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;rethink&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it. Group denial, with the blaming of the targeted “sick one” often referred to as the “identified patient” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;, is, after all, the whole &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;POINT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of playing the 'game.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So what is the point Paranoid Patty is making with her “razor” here?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[2]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is as I have already stated that the simplest and most obvious answer is often the correct one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: #938953;"&gt;The Blind Spot in the group:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The group delusion of “superiority” allows the group members to convince themselves that they are ”hidden” in plain sight from an inferior who knows nothing. Since s/he knows nothing, that opens them to the opportunity to mock and ridicule in her presence, usually disguised&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[3]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; as “humour.” often the most vicious and contemptuous comment will be disguised as “humour” used to engage other blind superior idiots in the show of contempt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[4]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: #938953;"&gt;The Blind Spot in the Psychiatrists&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The beliefs in which they have been trained themselves will not allow them to accept that this group behaviour of which so many of us speak exists in reality. They are taught to reject what the identified patient says as being reality and to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; accept it at face value. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Result&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; the dysfunctional status quo is supported and maintained by the psychiatrists along with the dysfunctional group by reinventing this reality as a perception/reaction problem in the targeted “sick” one. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One the individual is defined as “crazy” the group abuse and “story telling” grows without limits since no one will believe the “crazy” one anyway. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The reason for the group behaviour?...Emotional catharsis provided for them through the use of socially sanctioned targets “deserving” of their contempt. It is a form of “bonding,”being a member of a group which defines itself as “normal” and not as one of “them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div id="ftn2"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"&gt;&lt;span class="FootnoteCharacters"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="FootnoteCharacters"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;[2]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; Remember now you “normal” population...don't miss this opportunity to make a denigrating remark&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div id="ftn3"&gt;

She is also one who likes to “interpret” me, lowers her eyes and talks out of the side of her mouth, rendering herself invisible to an inferior like me. I always look &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;right&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; at her to see what the performance of the day is going to be. She has &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;NO&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;IDEA&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; it appears, that I am doing so for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; reason and often “interprets” my looking at her as some sign of my stupidity, which she shares with another. She amazes me with her obtuse mind. Yet I know by her &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;behaviour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that &lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SHE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; believes she is a superior human being. Why then, does she seem to need to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;keep&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; proving it to others?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Last Nights News February 2012</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/308115</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Researchers are searching diligently for the cause of “mental illness.” They are doing this by searching through the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;brains&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; they have kept in jars for just the telltale “anomalies” that show the differences between the “normal” and the “abnormal.” They wear white coats and check thin slices of the brains of people like me, now deceased and no longer complaining, many of whom who “thought” they have been “harmed by others” or who “think” they were child sexual abuse victims and, as Freud told us...really such tales from children only indicated the desire of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;victim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to seduce the “imagined” aggressor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;(the opposite of what the “supposed victim” was “claiming.”)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Moving on to other news, in the same report: 200 men were arrested in the biggest child porn ring yet to date including two of them in my own city. Sixty have now been charged. At last count 22 of the children used and abused like irrelevant objects have been identified. At least for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;these&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ones, being diagnosed with a “mental illness” for “imagining” they have been harmed by others or “just” &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SAYING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that to “seek attention” won't be &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;added&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to their current overwhelming trauma. They are the “lucky” children if you can describe anything in this as “better” than not being seen and heard at &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What “illness” will the 200 men be &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;diagnosed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; with?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Some of these children will have, or will develop, what will be defined as “mental illness.” Many of them will experience altered states of consciousness (psychosis) as a direct &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;result&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the abuse, the pressure, the inescapable stress and the horror of what they have been &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;put&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; through. Many of those &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; identified by the police with concrete &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;evidence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of it will &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; be believed and then will be blamed by “others”&amp;nbsp; for inventing “stories” and will be further psychologically and/or verbally attacked by their families, often &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;including&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the abuser who denies such things could be done by a family member. Many will also be blamed and be on the receiving end of shows of contempt and outright hatred by the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;public&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for being a horrible child who is inherently 'defective' for saying such things, especially about someone who is so well liked by others. Labelling tends to turn a temporary state into a permanent one for after all, if a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DOCTOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; says that reality is a certain way, who can believe otherwise right?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;A few of these children, for whom rescue comes too late or not at &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, will become serial killers who will no doubt be defined by some psychiatrists as inherently “defective” human beings; genetic defectives who could be “fixed” if &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; researchers can locate that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;gene&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that causes these things. Could it be that what causes these things has something to do, in part, with the “No One Must Be Blamed Game”? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Forensics cops know that most serial killers are essentially acting out their own abuse. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WHEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is this society going to come out of it's idiotic denial and start focusing on the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; problem which is a lack of personal boundaries, a lack of any real &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;empathy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and an ongoing dysfunctional relating pattern which is passed off as “normal” and unresolvable? You have to face the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of what these children&amp;nbsp; are being &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;put&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; through and the true horror of it if you are going to deal with it and put a stop to it.&amp;nbsp; If you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the world is going to stay psychiatrically split between the abusers who “can't help it” because they are “ill” with a bad brain and the victims who can't help “claiming” they are abused by others, including family members, because they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;TOO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; have a bad brain that and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; bad brains are causing them to think&amp;nbsp; they were abused when “really” they weren't, as it would not be “reasonable” for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;abusers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to behave that way.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Like DUH!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;You police agencies need to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SHOW&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;every&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; general psychiatrist in Ontario right now, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;PICTURES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of what children are put through. Nothing penetrates resistance to reality like concrete proof does it? “Proof is the bottom line for everyone.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It will be very hard for them to hold onto the Family Romance after the images are burned into their brains in the cases, of loving family members getting their jollies or making money from horrendous child abuse that often drives their own children into madness, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;more&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so after the behaviour of the perpetrators is denied while the children are blamed and labelled “mentally ill” for the effects on them of intolerable abuse, while trapped in hopeless and helpless situations where there is no escape possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As one of those involved in this latest roundup up put it on the morning news; &lt;i&gt;“The child abuse victim is often disempowered as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;part&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the abuse.”&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Often they are told there is something wrong with &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THEM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for objecting to it or “whining” about it, they are told not to talk about it and that no one would believe a child over an adult, and many are threatened with beatings, or an &lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;INCREASE&lt;/span&gt; in the level of abuse and even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;death&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; if they try to talk about it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The news anchor responded:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;“So it creates a circle of abuse...”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Hear It? THE &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;CIRCLE&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;Infinite loop thinking; the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Dark&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; side.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;In this report there are now 8900 known adult participants in Ontario alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Get over the No One Must Be Blamed game. This is not about diseases &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BRAINS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. It is about dis-eased &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MINDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and you cannot “fix” the metaphysical by physical means. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;EXPOSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the reality of this and stop excusing it; or worse, denying it's existence because it would not be “reasonable” for adult humans to behave this way. It is the “covert” behaviour, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;secret&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; keeping that enables and perpetuates it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REASON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; has nothing to do with this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;There is another point I would like you psychiatrists to consider. Did you know that there is now some &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;concrete&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; evidence by other “researchers' that changing one's &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MIND&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; also changes the brain?&amp;nbsp; Another &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;opposite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; viewpoint. Look it up. Then speculate; if that is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, what implications does it have for all your current reductionism?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Do &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; who are looking for genes as the cause of everything now have a bad gene that mistakenly causes &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to actually believe that everything can be reduced to it's physical properties and definitions and that this allows you to understand everything perfectly?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The danger that exists is the same old one: One group of people decide &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; represent all that is “normal” and correct about being human and anyone who deviates, in &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;any&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; way, from the superior people's understanding of reality needs to be “fixed.” “Fixed” always means being made to be more &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;like&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the Fixer; the “ideal” to which the Fixer, who is holding the concrete power, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;believes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; all others should aspire to be like, and if they do &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, they should be forced to do so, for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THEIR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; own ”good.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Whenever someone is telling someone that what is being done &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;TO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; them, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; someone else is for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;their own good,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a warning bell should be sounded as more often than not, the one doing the good, is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it to defend his or her own position, whether right or wrong and presented as “normal' in all inclusive abstract terms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALWAYS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about personal boundaries in one direction or the other. The “cure” is going to be self focus on a premise of mutual respect for boundaries. There is no problem, and no crime, that is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about a lack of mutual respect for personal boundaries between &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ANY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; two people, in any circumstance of life. Try to think of one problem, from relatively mild to criminal extremes that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;isn't&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about that.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>To the Local “Mystified” Population</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/308113</link><description>&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Next Stop: Enlightenment for the Locals&lt;o:p _rdeditor_exists="1"&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p &gt;Think of this like Occam's Razor, Werner's Razor and Now Paranoid Patty's Razor, in which the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;simplest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; answer is most often the correct one, integrate &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;these&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; two opposites by focusing really &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;hard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; on this “Koan.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I claim that people I do not even know, who also don't know me, are talking about me and the people I don't know, who also don't know me, are talking about me, and about my “claim” that they are talking about me, while they get together and talk about &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;why&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I would believe &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; when they all agree they are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; talking about me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The behaviour of the local population acting it all out everywhere and my statement that they are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; just that, is nothing more or less than the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;SAME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; reality from &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;opposing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; viewpoints. Yet almost no one &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;sees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this. Why? Well in order to protect and defend all the participants in the group from any negative consequences to them for their perfectly obvious behaviour, reality has been split in two and then &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;reversed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. This is the nature of delusional reversal and I am suggesting that this is a very &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;COMMON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; phenomenon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The group, as a group, believes it's members are all smarter, more conscious and therefore “hidden” from an inferior who only “thinks” people are doing “her” harm and talking about “her”, often right in “her” presence like she is not there. The group members of course are not 'the people” since they consider themselves to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;BE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “hidden” from me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I am told that I must &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;accept&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; my inferior status and that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;nothing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; has happened here. I only “think” it has because I have a “mental illness” that causes me to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;HAVE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this perception/reaction problem which exists &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;WITHIN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me and has nothing to do with external reality. That is a really neat “explain away” when you think about it, isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now, once you are diagnosed and defined with one of these imaginary disease labels, it no longer matters at all &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;WHAT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you say or don't say, do, or don't do, since any of it will only be “spun” and made to “fit” the diagnosis, which has been created as an abstraction, in absolute terms, from lexperts istening to all kinds of people “claim” they have had the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;SAME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; kind of experiences with individuals and groups. Hmmmm....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What do you say, just for more laughs, that we try thinking about all of this by accepting it at &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;FACE VALUE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;? What might we see and hear then? Put your “no one must be blamed game” away for just a minute and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;rethink&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it. Group denial, with the blaming of the targeted “sick one” often referred to as the “identified patient” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://counterpsych.com/aspx/blob2/controls/blog/blobblogaddblog.aspx?blogid=26395#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;, is, after all, the whole &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;POINT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of playing the 'game.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So what is the point Paranoid Patty is making with her “razor” here?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://counterpsych.com/aspx/blob2/controls/blog/blobblogaddblog.aspx?blogid=26395#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[2]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is as I have already stated that the simplest and most obvious answer is often the correct one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: #938953;"&gt;The Blind Spot in the group:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The group delusion of “superiority” allows the group members to convince themselves that they are ”hidden” in plain sight from an inferior who knows nothing. Since s/he knows nothing, that opens them to the opportunity to mock and ridicule in her presence, usually disguised&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://counterpsych.com/aspx/blob2/controls/blog/blobblogaddblog.aspx?blogid=26395#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[3]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; as “humour.” often the most vicious and contemptuous comment will be disguised as “humour” used to engage other blind superior idiots in the show of contempt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://counterpsych.com/aspx/blob2/controls/blog/blobblogaddblog.aspx?blogid=26395#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[4]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: #938953;"&gt;The Blind Spot in the Psychiatrists&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The beliefs in which they have been trained themselves will not allow them to accept that this group behaviour of which so many of us speak exists in reality. They are taught to reject what the identified patient says as being reality and to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; accept it at face value. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Result&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; the dysfunctional status quo is supported and maintained by the psychiatrists along with the dysfunctional group by reinventing this reality as a perception/reaction problem in the targeted “sick” one. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One the individual is defined as “crazy” the group abuse and “story telling” grows without limits since no one will believe the “crazy” one anyway. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The reason for the group behaviour?...Emotional catharsis provided for them through the use of socially sanctioned targets “deserving” of their contempt. It is a form of “bonding,”being a member of a group which defines itself as “normal” and not as one of “them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

She is also one who likes to “interpret” me, lowers her eyes and talks out of the side of her mouth, rendering herself invisible to an inferior like me. I always look &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;right&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; at her to see what the performance of the day is going to be. She has &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;NO&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;IDEA&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; it appears, that I am doing so for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; reason and often “interprets” my looking at her as some sign of my stupidity, which she shares with another. She amazes me with her obtuse mind. Yet I know by her &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;behaviour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that &lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SHE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; believes she is a superior human being. Why then, does she seem to need to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;keep&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; proving it to others?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Researchers are searching diligently for the cause of “mental illness.” They are doing this by searching through the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;brains&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; they have kept in jars for just the telltale “anomalies” that show the differences between the “normal” and the “abnormal.” They wear white coats and check thin slices of the brains of people like me, now deceased and no longer complaining, many of whom who “thought” they have been “harmed by others” or who “think” they were child sexual abuse victims and, as Freud told us...really such tales from children only indicated the desire of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;victim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to seduce the “imagined” aggressor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;(the opposite of what the “supposed victim” was “claiming.”)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Moving on to other news, in the same report: 200 men were arrested in the biggest child porn ring yet to date including two of them in my own city. Sixty have now been charged. At last count 22 of the children used and abused like irrelevant objects have been identified. At least for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;these&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ones, being diagnosed with a “mental illness” for “imagining” they have been harmed by others or “just” &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SAYING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that to “seek attention” won't be &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;added&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to their current overwhelming trauma. They are the “lucky” children if you can describe anything in this as “better” than not being seen and heard at &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What “illness” will the 200 men be &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;diagnosed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; with?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Some of these children will have, or will develop, what will be defined as “mental illness.” Many of them will experience altered states of consciousness (psychosis) as a direct &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;result&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the abuse, the pressure, the inescapable stress and the horror of what they have been &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;put&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; through. Many of those &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; identified by the police with concrete &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;evidence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of it will &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; be believed and then will be blamed by “others”&amp;nbsp; for inventing “stories” and will be further psychologically and/or verbally attacked by their families, often &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;including&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the abuser who denies such things could be done by a family member. Many will also be blamed and be on the receiving end of shows of contempt and outright hatred by the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;public&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for being a horrible child who is inherently 'defective' for saying such things, especially about someone who is so well liked by others. Labelling tends to turn a temporary state into a permanent one for after all, if a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DOCTOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; says that reality is a certain way, who can believe otherwise right?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;A few of these children, for whom rescue comes too late or not at &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, will become serial killers who will no doubt be defined by some psychiatrists as inherently “defective” human beings; genetic defectives who could be “fixed” if &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; researchers can locate that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;gene&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that causes these things. Could it be that what causes these things has something to do, in part, with the “No One Must Be Blamed Game”? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Forensics cops know that most serial killers are essentially acting out their own abuse. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WHEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is this society going to come out of it's idiotic denial and start focusing on the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; problem which is a lack of personal boundaries, a lack of any real &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;empathy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and an ongoing dysfunctional relating pattern which is passed off as “normal” and unresolvable? You have to face the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of what these children&amp;nbsp; are being &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;put&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; through and the true horror of it if you are going to deal with it and put a stop to it.&amp;nbsp; If you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the world is going to stay psychiatrically split between the abusers who “can't help it” because they are “ill” with a bad brain and the victims who can't help “claiming” they are abused by others, including family members, because they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;TOO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; have a bad brain that and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; bad brains are causing them to think&amp;nbsp; they were abused when “really” they weren't, as it would not be “reasonable” for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;abusers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to behave that way.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Like DUH!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;You police agencies need to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SHOW&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;every&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; general psychiatrist in Ontario right now, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;PICTURES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of what children are put through. Nothing penetrates resistance to reality like concrete proof does it? “Proof is the bottom line for everyone.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It will be very hard for them to hold onto the Family Romance after the images are burned into their brains in the cases, of loving family members getting their jollies or making money from horrendous child abuse that often drives their own children into madness, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;more&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so after the behaviour of the perpetrators is denied while the children are blamed and labelled “mentally ill” for the effects on them of intolerable abuse, while trapped in hopeless and helpless situations where there is no escape possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As one of those involved in this latest roundup up put it on the morning news; &lt;i&gt;“The child abuse victim is often disempowered as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;part&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the abuse.”&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Often they are told there is something wrong with &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THEM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for objecting to it or “whining” about it, they are told not to talk about it and that no one would believe a child over an adult, and many are threatened with beatings, or an &lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;INCREASE&lt;/span&gt; in the level of abuse and even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;death&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; if they try to talk about it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The news anchor responded:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;“So it creates a circle of abuse...”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Hear It? THE &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;CIRCLE&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;Infinite loop thinking; the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Dark&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; side.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;In this report there are now 8900 known adult participants in Ontario alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Get over the No One Must Be Blamed game. This is not about diseases &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BRAINS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. It is about dis-eased &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MINDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and you cannot “fix” the metaphysical by physical means. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;EXPOSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the reality of this and stop excusing it; or worse, denying it's existence because it would not be “reasonable” for adult humans to behave this way. It is the “covert” behaviour, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;secret&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; keeping that enables and perpetuates it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REASON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; has nothing to do with this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;There is another point I would like you psychiatrists to consider. Did you know that there is now some &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;concrete&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; evidence by other “researchers' that changing one's &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MIND&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; also changes the brain?&amp;nbsp; Another &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;opposite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; viewpoint. Look it up. Then speculate; if that is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, what implications does it have for all your current reductionism?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Do &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; who are looking for genes as the cause of everything now have a bad gene that mistakenly causes &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to actually believe that everything can be reduced to it's physical properties and definitions and that this allows you to understand everything perfectly?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The danger that exists is the same old one: One group of people decide &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; represent all that is “normal” and correct about being human and anyone who deviates, in &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;any&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; way, from the superior people's understanding of reality needs to be “fixed.” “Fixed” always means being made to be more &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;like&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the Fixer; the “ideal” to which the Fixer, who is holding the concrete power, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;believes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; all others should aspire to be like, and if they do &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, they should be forced to do so, for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THEIR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; own ”good.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Whenever someone is telling someone that what is being done &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;TO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; them, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; someone else is for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;their own good,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a warning bell should be sounded as more often than not, the one doing the good, is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it to defend his or her own position, whether right or wrong and presented as “normal' in all inclusive abstract terms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALWAYS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about personal boundaries in one direction or the other. The “cure” is going to be self focus on a premise of mutual respect for boundaries. There is no problem, and no crime, that is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about a lack of mutual respect for personal boundaries between &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ANY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; two people, in any circumstance of life. Try to think of one problem, from relatively mild to criminal extremes that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;isn't&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about that.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Last Nights News February 2012</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/308112</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Researchers are searching diligently for the cause of “mental illness.” They are doing this by searching through the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;brains&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; they have kept in jars for just the telltale “anomalies” that show the differences between the “normal” and the “abnormal.” They wear white coats and check thin slices of the brains of people like me, now deceased and no longer complaining, many of whom who “thought” they have been “harmed by others” or who “think” they were child sexual abuse victims and, as Freud told us...really such tales from children only indicated the desire of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;victim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to seduce the “imagined” aggressor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What “illness” will the 200 men be &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;diagnosed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; with?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

You have to face the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of what these children&amp;nbsp; are being &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;put&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; through and the true horror of it if you are going to deal with it and put a stop to it.&amp;nbsp; If you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the world is going to stay psychiatrically split between the abusers who “can't help it” because they are “ill” with a bad brain and the victims who can't help “claiming” they are abused by others, including family members, because they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;TOO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; have a bad brain that and &lt;b&gt;their&lt;/b&gt; bad brains are causing them to think&amp;nbsp; they were abused when “really” they weren't, as it would not be “reasonable” for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;abusers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to behave that way.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Like DUH!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;You police agencies need to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SHOW&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;every&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; general psychiatrist in Ontario right now, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;PICTURES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of what children are put through. Nothing penetrates resistance to reality like concrete proof does it? “Proof is the bottom line for everyone.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It will be very hard for them to hold onto the Family Romance after the images are burned into their brains in the cases, of loving family members getting their jollies or making money from horrendous child abuse that often drives their own children into madness, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;more&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so after the behaviour of the perpetrators is denied while the children are blamed and labelled “mentally ill” for the effects on them of intolerable abuse, while trapped in hopeless and helpless situations where there is no escape possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As one of those involved in this latest roundup up put it on the morning news; &lt;i&gt;“The child abuse victim is often disempowered as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;part&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the abuse.”&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Often they are told there is something wrong with &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THEM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for objecting to it or “whining” about it, they are told not to talk about it and that no one would believe a child over an adult, and many are threatened with beatings, or an &lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;INCREASE&lt;/span&gt; in the level of abuse and even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;death&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; if they try to talk about it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The news anchor responded:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;“So it creates a circle of abuse...”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Hear It? THE &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;CIRCLE&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;Infinite loop thinking; the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Dark&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; side.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;In this report there are now 8900 known adult participants in Ontario alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Get over the No One Must Be Blamed game. This is not about diseases &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BRAINS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. It is about dis-eased &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MINDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and you cannot “fix” the metaphysical by physical means. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;EXPOSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the reality of this and stop excusing it; or worse, denying it's existence because it would not be “reasonable” for adult humans to behave this way. It is the “covert” behaviour, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;secret&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; keeping that enables and perpetuates it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REASON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; has nothing to do with this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;There is another point I would like you psychiatrists to consider. Did you know that there is now some &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;concrete&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; evidence by other “researchers' that changing one's &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MIND&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; also changes the brain?&amp;nbsp; Another &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;opposite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; viewpoint. Look it up. Then speculate; if that is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, what implications does it have for all your current reductionism?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Do &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; who are looking for genes as the cause of everything now have a bad gene that mistakenly causes &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to actually believe that everything can be reduced to it's physical properties and definitions and that this allows you to understand everything perfectly?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The danger that exists is the same old one: One group of people decide &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; represent all that is “normal” and correct about being human and anyone who deviates, in &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;any&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; way, from the superior people's understanding of reality needs to be “fixed.” “Fixed” always means being made to be more &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;like&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the Fixer; the “ideal” to which the Fixer, who is holding the concrete power, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;believes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; all others should aspire to be like, and if they do &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, they should be forced to do so, for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THEIR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; own ”good.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Whenever someone is telling someone that what is being done &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;TO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; them, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; someone else is for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;their own good,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a warning bell should be sounded as more often than not, the one doing the good, is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it to defend his or her own position, whether right or wrong and presented as “normal' in all inclusive abstract terms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALWAYS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about personal boundaries in one direction or the other. The “cure” is going to be self focus on a premise of mutual respect for boundaries. There is no problem, and no crime, that is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about a lack of mutual respect for personal boundaries between &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ANY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; two people, in any circumstance of life. Try to think of one problem, from relatively mild to criminal extremes that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;isn't&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about that.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Claiming to Have Been Harmed by “Others”</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/307967</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;While Those “Others” Claim They Have Done No Harm&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The behaviour of the local population acting it all out everywhere and my statement that they are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; just that, is nothing more or less than the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;SAME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; reality from &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;opposing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; viewpoints. Yet almost no one &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;sees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this. Why? Well in order to protect and defend all the participants in the group from any negative consequences to them for their perfectly obvious behaviour, reality has been split in two and then &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;reversed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. This is the nature of delusional reversal and I am suggesting that this is a very &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;COMMON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; phenomenon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The group, as a group, believes it's members are all smarter, more conscious and therefore “hidden” from an inferior who only “thinks” people are doing “her” harm and talking about “her”, often right in “her” presence like she is not there. The group members of course are not 'the people” since they consider themselves to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;BE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “hidden” from me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I am told that I must &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;accept&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; my inferior status and that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;nothing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; has happened here. I only “think” it has because I have a “mental illness” that causes me to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;HAVE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this perception/reaction problem which exists &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;WITHIN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me and has nothing to do with external reality. That is a really neat “explain away” when you think about it, isn't it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now, once you are diagnosed and defined with one of these imaginary disease labels, it no longer matters at all &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;WHAT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you say or don't say, do, or don't do, since any of it will only be “spun” and made to “fit” the diagnosis, which has been created as an abstraction, in absolute terms, from experts listening to all kinds of people “claim” they have had the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;SAME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; kind of experiences with individuals and groups. Hmmmm....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What do you say, just for more laughs, that we try thinking about all of this by accepting it at &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;FACE VALUE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;? What might we see and hear then? Put your “no one must be blamed game” away for just a minute and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;rethink&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it. Group denial, with the blaming of the targeted “sick one” often referred to as the “identified patient” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/blob2/controls/blog/blobblogaddblog.aspx?blogid=34341#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;, is, after all, the whole &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;POINT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of playing the 'game.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: #938953;"&gt;The Blind Spot in the Psychiatrists&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The beliefs in which they have been trained themselves will not allow them to accept that this group behaviour of which so many of us speak exists in reality. They are taught to reject what the identified patient says as being reality and to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; accept it at face value. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;Result&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: the dysfunctional status quo is supported and maintained by the psychiatrists along with the dysfunctional group by reinventing this reality as a perception/reaction problem in the targeted “sick” one. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One the individual is defined as “crazy” the group abuse and “story telling” grows without limits since no one will believe the “crazy” one anyway. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The reason for the group behaviour?...Emotional catharsis provided for them through the use of socially sanctioned targets “deserving” of their contempt. It is a form of “bonding,” being a member of a group which defines itself as “normal” and not as one of “them.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Can anyone one else psychiatrized for such “claims” relate to this at all?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Group denial, with the blaming of the targeted “sick one” often referred to as the “identified patient” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;, is, after all, the whole &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;POINT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of playing the 'game.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: #938953;"&gt;The Blind Spot in the Psychiatrists&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The beliefs in which they have been trained themselves will not allow them to accept that this group behaviour of which so many of us speak exists in reality. They are taught to reject what the identified patient says as being reality and to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; accept it at face value. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;Result&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: the dysfunctional status quo is supported and maintained by the psychiatrists along with the dysfunctional group by reinventing this reality as a perception/reaction problem in the targeted “sick” one. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One the individual is defined as “crazy” the group abuse and “story telling” grows without limits since no one will believe the “crazy” one anyway. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The reason for the group behaviour?...Emotional catharsis provided for them through the use of socially sanctioned targets “deserving” of their contempt. It is a form of “bonding,” being a member of a group which defines itself as “normal” and not as one of “them.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Can anyone one else psychiatrized for such “claims” relate to this at all?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ddd9c3; color: #ff0000; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Next Stop: Pistachio Press&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; speak for me. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; speak for you...and please stop lying about what you do, trying to cover it all up, and telling me, and anyone else you can get to listen to it, that my perception of all of you is a mental illness from which I suffer as an inherently defective human being, instead of what it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is, which is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;your&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; group attempt to avoid &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;accountability&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; by denying the existence of the whole, ongoing, event. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THAT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is what the manipulations of est are all &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ABOUT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This outcome is predictable on a generic level because it is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;exactly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; what groups like you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, 99% of the time, no matter what it is or is not named.. That is why “we can't blame others” is your favourite platitude. It is a line that flies out of the mouths of mental illness workers as if you were all on auto-response. At the first sign that the identified patient may be going to “blame” some loyal, dysfunctional wonder for something, out it pops. It is used to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;block&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; any real &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;communication&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and hold the dysfunctional line on all that “blamelessness.”&amp;nbsp; You are not blameless. You &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you are not blameless, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; know it and everyone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;involved&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; knows it so &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WHO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, exactly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://counterpsych.com/aspx/blob2/controls/blog/blobblogaddblog.aspx?blogid=34341#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; is it that is being “fooled” by the authoritarian and/or group manipulative ploys and head games? I can tell you that it is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STILL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; not me. I already know what you all do and why you do it.&amp;nbsp; I find your group behaviour childish and disgusting and your capacity for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;denying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that what you do harms others, while covering it over by claiming this is a “perception/reaction problem that “we” are having, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;beyond&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; belief. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;There is no big “mystery” here, other than the mystery of how you people can manage to remain in this group delusion for such a bloody long time, despite any and all evidence that what I am saying is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and that it is the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;rest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of you who just &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DON'T GET IT!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The title of this one is because of what I am hearing over the last couple of days acted out by the public. One of the “hes” involved is apparently trying to explain how he feels and another of the “hes” is apparently doing &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;my&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; talking &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me. &lt;i&gt;“She is telling me to speak or let go...”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Other he: &lt;i&gt;“You don't really know anything about her. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SHE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; has moved on with her life...you should move on too.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Do you people not know that I can actually form &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;entire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; sentences? Yep... All by myself too. Isn't that amazing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I heard that “she has moved on” bit many years ago too. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;“She” is the personal pronoun of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;objectification&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Do any of you know what that means or do you need lots and lots more detailed explanation for that?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I don't care &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WHO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is “she-ing me...doctors lawyers, bus drivers, twelve steppers, cops, cranky old busy bodies with no life other than to talk about people they don't really &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; all day, or the Prime Minister. I am not a brain dead &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;OBJECT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of observation. I am not “the case”, (“fascinating” or otherwise) the “subject”,&amp;nbsp; the experiment, the outsider,&amp;nbsp; the patient or the whack job.&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;I AM A PERSON.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; And while university students may find that “hilarious,”&amp;nbsp; many of them because they are being led by the nose to “interpret” everything in pathological and/or “joke” terms, what it actually is, is a statement of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;fact&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Let me make it even clearer for all of you:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; decide who I am, what I know, what I don't know, what I think, what I want and what I feel. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THAT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is what having a separate identity is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. That is what I am supposed to have control over just like what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are supposed to have control over is your &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;OWN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; identity &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BUT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; not over &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MINE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. You are violating my personal boundaries when you presume to think, speak and feel &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me just as that is what you are doing when you presume to do that for anyone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;else&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. You are being outrageously arrogant if you believe that you understand my life experience &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BETTER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that I do, even the experienced you shared to some extent. It is even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;worse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; when you think you know my experience better than I do when you had NO part in it whatsoever. This is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WRONG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of you. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WRONG. BAD. STUPID.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;IRRATIONAL. OUT OF LINE. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It should be parent by now in this “fascinating case, that if a couple of pieces of information are removed from any situation or if you falsely believe the event or problem starts from a point where it in fact does &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, that those things change th e overall &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MEANING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of everything. This it true everywhere, anytime for anyone. So the idea that an “identified patient” can be pigeon holed by what he, or she, “says” in ten to fifteen cost effective minutes and then have his, or her, life legitimately taken over by a system that does it's 'defining' based on a one size fits all abstraction in absolute terms is just plain stupid. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STUPID&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; And reckless, and destructive, and demeaning, and invalidating ....need I &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;expand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the list so you can “make sense” of the bloody obvious? The system stinks. Stop trying to “fix” the world by pumping human beings full of mind altering drugs, against their wills if necessary, which ultimately &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;destroy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; well being rather than enhancing it. You are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;CAUSING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; more problems than you are solving and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; needs to change. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I am not the one who can't face reality: &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You want to make February 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; a&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; “Let's Talk Day?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;OK but if were &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; going to talk, let's get &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the people who are experiencers of the mental illness system and who want to talk about how they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; feel right out in the open, but who are afraid to talk about it because they have &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;negative&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;experiences&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; with &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Let's not listen &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;only&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to the happy “consumers” that are hand picked by bio psych to support their &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; agenda. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I will put out the word to all the psychiatric survivours like myself who are not afraid to talk about our “mental illness,” in more real terms but who have &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;become&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; afraid, for damned good reason, of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;system&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to which they have already talked, and are very afraid of the of the actual &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;results&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; they got from &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;How soon should we expect the intimidation process to kick in for failing to toe the bio psych party line? &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THAT'S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;many&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of us are afraid of; not that we have had psychological, or emotional distress or difficulty getting past traumas but that the system that we have to talk to treats &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;everything&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; like it is a self contained personal defect or imaginary disease without any relationship whatsoever to external reality or other people. Blaming the body of the patient gets everyone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;else&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; off the accountability hook and it does something else too. It keeps the same, very real problems going to infinite loss with no resolution possible. You see we are not all unquestioning followers of authority or famous people who we think &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MUST&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; know everything. Many of us actually believe that we understand &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;some&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; things that your handpicked&amp;nbsp; mental illness enthusiasts don't. Imagine!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So do you want us &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to talk; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;including&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; all of us who are not at all gung ho, “medication” swallowing, enthusiastic sports stars, actors and politicians?&amp;nbsp; Or just those who will &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;agree&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; with you? OK. We'll talk. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;YOU LISTEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for a change. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; listen; not just sit listening for the sickness “noises” you have been programmed to hear and “interpret” according to your own training.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Calling all Psychiatric Survivours!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Canada's mental illness system (along with Bell Tel.) say they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;want&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; us to talk on February 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyone who would like to try, once again, to get them to actually &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;hear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you, please feel free to do so, and if you want, you can send me a short piece on what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; think is wrong with the system and I will post it here in the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Let's Talk Back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Blog section OR you can use the interactive Bulletin Board on the new &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Let's Talk Back&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;page as part of a group effort to have our say openly and honestly. Keep in mind though that this is a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;PUBLIC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; bulletin board which can be read by anyone. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;If you want me to post if for you, please include a note on the bottom indicating that I have your permission to do so. You may also ask me to remove your piece if you change your mind at at some later point. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Only two rules&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; No cursing, swearing: I want to keep my G rating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;No naming of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;specific&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; individuals or psychiatrists, or attacking others who post here and no threats of violence of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;any&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; kind against self or any others. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Watch for the&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Let's Talk Back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; page with a “post it yourself” section to appear within a few days.&amp;nbsp; This is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a page for the satisfied customer or for those promoting bio-psych. You who are promoting the current system &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;already&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; have an abundance of such places for yourself. This site is for those who are told they must &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “whine” or complain about their situations or their treatment. If you have &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;negative&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experiences with psychiatrists, doctors, friends, family members, employers, treatment and the public as a result of your psychiatric diagnosis and labelling and/or treatment you can&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3deb3d;"&gt; Talk Back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; here. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;To do the posting yourself you will need to register your e-mail to my site, which will give you access to the&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Let's Talk Back&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;bulletin board with your own personal word processor. Scroll down to the bottom of the page or use the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;register to this site&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;icon either on the Home page or on the LTB page. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Let's see if the “Let's Talk” campaign is a real attempt by professionals to listen and learn from us from our own point of view or just another opportunity to promote bio-psych using some slick advertising campaigns with no questions asked, no negative opinions “allowed” or tolerated. When the board is up and ready to use, I will post the first bit of “complaining” myself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So All of You Please Stop Speaking FOR Me...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ddd9c3; color: #ff0000; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Next Stop: Pistachio Press&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; speak for me. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; speak for you...and please stop lying about what you do, trying to cover it all up, and telling me, and anyone else you can get to listen to it, that my perception of all of you is a mental illness from which I suffer as an inherently defective human being, instead of what it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is, which is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;your&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; group attempt to avoid &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;accountability&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; by denying the existence of the whole, ongoing, event. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THAT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is what the manipulations of est are all &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ABOUT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This outcome is predictable on a generic level because it is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;exactly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; what groups like you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, 99% of the time, no matter what it is or is not named.. That is why “we can't blame others” is your favourite platitude. It is a line that flies out of the mouths of mental illness workers as if you were all on auto-response. At the first sign that the identified patient may be going to “blame” some loyal, dysfunctional wonder for something, out it pops. It is used to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;block&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; any real &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;communication&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and hold the dysfunctional line on all that “blamelessness.”&amp;nbsp; You are not blameless. You &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you are not blameless, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; know it and everyone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;involved&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; knows it so &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WHO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, exactly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; is it that is being “fooled” by the authoritarian and/or group manipulative ploys and head games? I can tell you that it is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STILL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; not me. I already know what you all do and why you do it.&amp;nbsp; I find your group behaviour childish and disgusting and your capacity for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;denying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that what you do harms others, while covering it over by claiming this is a “perception/reaction problem that “we” are having, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;beyond&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; belief. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;There is no big “mystery” here, other than the mystery of how you people can manage to remain in this group delusion for such a bloody long time, despite any and all evidence that what I am saying is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and that it is the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;rest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of you who just &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DON'T GET IT!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The title of this one is because of what I am hearing over the last couple of days acted out by the public. One of the “hes” involved is apparently trying to explain how he feels and another of the “hes” is apparently doing &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;my&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; talking &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me. &lt;i&gt;“She is telling me to speak or let go...”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Other he: &lt;i&gt;“You don't really know anything about her. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SHE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; has moved on with her life...you should move on too.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Do you people not know that I can actually form &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;entire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; sentences? Yep... All by myself too. Isn't that amazing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I heard that “she has moved on” bit many years ago too. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;“She” is the personal pronoun of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;objectification&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Do any of you know what that means or do you need lots and lots more detailed explanation for that?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I don't care &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WHO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is “she-ing me...doctors lawyers, bus drivers, twelve steppers, cops, cranky old busy bodies with no life other than to talk about people they don't really &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; all day, or the Prime Minister. I am not a brain dead &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;OBJECT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of observation. I am not “the case”, (“fascinating” or otherwise) the “subject”,&amp;nbsp; the experiment, the outsider,&amp;nbsp; the patient or the whack job.&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;I AM A PERSON.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; And while university students may find that “hilarious,”&amp;nbsp; many of them because they are being led by the nose to “interpret” everything in pathological and/or “joke” terms, what it actually is, is a statement of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;fact&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Let me make it even clearer for all of you:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; decide who I am, what I know, what I don't know, what I think, what I want and what I feel. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THAT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is what having a separate identity is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. That is what I am supposed to have control over just like what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are supposed to have control over is your &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;OWN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; identity &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BUT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; not over &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MINE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. You are violating my personal boundaries when you presume to think, speak and feel &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me just as that is what you are doing when you presume to do that for anyone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;else&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. You are being outrageously arrogant if you believe that you understand my life experience &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BETTER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that I do, even the experienced you shared to some extent. It is even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;worse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; when you think you know my experience better than I do when you had NO part in it whatsoever. This is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WRONG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of you. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WRONG. BAD. STUPID.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;IRRATIONAL. OUT OF LINE. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It should be parent by now in this “fascinating case, that if a couple of pieces of information are removed from any situation or if you falsely believe the event or problem starts from a point where it in fact does &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, that those things change th e overall &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MEANING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of everything. This it true everywhere, anytime for anyone. So the idea that an “identified patient” can be pigeon holed by what he, or she, “says” in ten to fifteen cost effective minutes and then have his, or her, life legitimately taken over by a system that does it's 'defining' based on a one size fits all abstraction in absolute terms is just plain stupid. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STUPID&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; And reckless, and destructive, and demeaning, and invalidating ....need I &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;expand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the list so you can “make sense” of the bloody obvious? The system stinks. Stop trying to “fix” the world by pumping human beings full of mind altering drugs, against their wills if necessary, which ultimately &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;destroy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; well being rather than enhancing it. You are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;CAUSING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; more problems than you are solving and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; needs to change. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I am not the one who can't face reality: &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You want to make February 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; a&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; “Let's Talk Day?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;OK but if were &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; going to talk, let's get &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the people who are experiencers of the mental illness system and who want to talk about how they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; feel right out in the open, but who are afraid to talk about it because they have &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;negative&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;experiences&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; with &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Let's not listen &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;only&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to the happy “consumers” that are hand picked by bio psych to support their &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; agenda. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I will put out the word to all the psychiatric survivours like myself who are not afraid to talk about our “mental illness,” in more real terms but who have &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;become&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; afraid, for damned good reason, of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;system&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to which they have already talked, and are very afraid of the of the actual &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;results&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; they got from &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;How soon should we expect the intimidation process to kick in for failing to toe the bio psych party line? &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THAT'S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;many&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of us are afraid of; not that we have had psychological, or emotional distress or difficulty getting past traumas but that the system that we have to talk to treats &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;everything&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; like it is a self contained personal defect or imaginary disease without any relationship whatsoever to external reality or other people. Blaming the body of the patient gets everyone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;else&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; off the accountability hook and it does something else too. It keeps the same, very real problems going to infinite loss with no resolution possible. You see we are not all unquestioning followers of authority or famous people who we think &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MUST&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; know everything. Many of us actually believe that we understand &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;some&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; things that your handpicked&amp;nbsp; mental illness enthusiasts don't. Imagine!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So do you want us &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to talk; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;including&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; all of us who are not at all gung ho, “medication” swallowing, enthusiastic sports stars, actors and politicians?&amp;nbsp; Or just those who will &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;agree&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; with you? OK. We'll talk. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;YOU LISTEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for a change. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; listen; not just sit listening for the sickness “noises” you have been programmed to hear and “interpret” according to your own training.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Calling all Psychiatric Survivours!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Canada's mental illness system (along with Bell Tel.) say they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;want&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; us to talk on February 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyone who would like to try, once again, to get them to actually &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;hear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you, please feel free to do so, and if you want, you can send me a short piece on what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; think is wrong with the system and I will post it here in the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Let's Talk Back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Blog section OR you can use the interactive Bulletin Board on the new &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Let's Talk Back&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;page as part of a group effort to have our say openly and honestly. Keep in mind though that this is a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;PUBLIC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; bulletin board which can be read by anyone. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;If you want me to post if for you, please include a note on the bottom indicating that I have your permission to do so. You may also ask me to remove your piece if you change your mind at at some later point. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Only two rules&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; No cursing, swearing: I want to keep my G rating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;No naming of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;specific&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; individuals or psychiatrists, or attacking others who post here and no threats of violence of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;any&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; kind against self or any others. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Watch for the&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Let's Talk Back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; page with a “post it yourself” section to appear within a few days.&amp;nbsp; This is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a page for the satisfied customer or for those promoting bio-psych. You who are promoting the current system &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;already&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; have an abundance of such places for yourself. This site is for those who are told they must &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “whine” or complain about their situations or their treatment. If you have &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;negative&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experiences with psychiatrists, doctors, friends, family members, employers, treatment and the public as a result of your psychiatric diagnosis and labelling and/or treatment you can&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3deb3d;"&gt; Talk Back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; here. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;To do the posting yourself you will need to register your e-mail to my site, which will give you access to the&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Let's Talk Back&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;bulletin board with your own personal word processor. Scroll down to the bottom of the page or use the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;register to this site&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;icon either on the Home page or on the LTB page. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Let's see if the “Let's Talk” campaign is a real attempt by professionals to listen and learn from us from our own point of view or just another opportunity to promote bio-psych using some slick advertising campaigns with no questions asked, no negative opinions “allowed” or tolerated. When the board is up and ready to use, I will post the first bit of “complaining” myself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Source of “Schizophrenia”</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/307490</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;By Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One of the main sources of “schizophrenia” is the chronic gossip and storytelling done by those who cannot make the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;connection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; between their &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; behaviour and the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reporting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;by&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; those they are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the storytelling &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;about&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. The reason they cannot make the connection is because they are deluding &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;themselves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that they are a superior form of human being who is not seen, heard or understood by those they talk &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;about&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. This is about the “them and us” split. Therefore, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the one they gossip about, who they mock and ridicule says that they do, what they do, those who delude themselves that they are “hidden” from such an inferior cannot, and will not, make the perfectly &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;obvious&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; connection between themselves and the individual to whom they are doing it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Since &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; can't be “the people” of whom the individual&amp;nbsp; speaks, it can only be some “imaginary people” which exist only in the defective individual's mind. That being the case, see how &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;right&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; they are to see and hear that one as defective, which of course means that the lack of consciousness in him or her (&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;projection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;) “proves” the people doing the talking about him or her, right in front of him or her, like s/he is not really there, need not worry about being seen, heard or understood when they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DO THAT.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Delusional group tautology completed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; delusion of superiority and “concealment” that keeps this going indefinitely. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Right now, in my own case, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;same&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; groups of people discuss, in front of me, how they have to be careful &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not to say anything &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;in front of me, as they have been been told that their talking about it has been seen and heard. Think carefully about&amp;nbsp; what this &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;means&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; from &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; point of view.&amp;nbsp; They even say&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;IN MY PRESENCE&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; “&lt;i&gt;There she is now”&lt;/i&gt;, then turn as one to look at me, as I look right back, and they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STILL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; can't make the connection. This has been almost two &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;decades&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the same group behaviour, over and over again, and it is still being denied to exist. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This is the kind of absurd nonsense with which, we on the receiving end of it, are bombarded,&amp;nbsp; along with multiple versions of reality and non stop contradiction, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WHILE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; being told it does not really exist. There is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ZERO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; direct, genuine communication while we are reduced to the level of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;OBJECTS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of observation. We are totally invalidated as human beings since our reality is being defined &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; us by group consensus, in order to allow the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to continue in it's delusion of grandeur and “concealment.” This is also why many psychiatrized people believe that these groups of idiots are just “pretending” to be stupid since it becomes pretty much impossible to believe that this many people could be, or &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STAY,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this ridiculously blind to themselves for this long. It is mind boggling. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What is “schizophrenic” is the split in reality &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ITSELF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; based on this delusional &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reversal&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;between those who see and hear the bloody obvious and those who refuse to see and hear the bloody obvious about &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BOTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; themselves and the other they objectify.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;When the individual targeted as the “defective” breaks under group pressure, non stop contradiction, psychological isolation and pressure, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;external&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experience gets internalized as the waking nightmare that it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;actually&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is, complete with the voices of mocking, ridiculing and contempt who will not just leave the individual alone no matter what s/he says or does. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THINK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about it, you pack of idiots acting out every day. Use those heads for something besides decorating with hats. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;When you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SAY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;“I am going to be really good and not talk about it today in front of people,” &lt;/i&gt;you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ARE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; talking about it right &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and the people you are talking about find you ridiculous because you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ARE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ridiculous. But &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; get to be labelled “crazy” and have their lives taken over and destroyed because people like you can't, or won't, “admit” to anything. Those you are talking about are treated like their lives are not as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; or as meaningful as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;yours,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so they don't matter. That is a 'message' that comes through loud and clear. Would &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; like to be treated like that, so that someone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;like&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you, in the position you are in now, did not have to worry about having &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; lives suffer any negative effects for what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; did... and then &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;lied&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about doing? Would you feel “friendly” toward such people? Or would you feel frightened, bewildered intimidated and frustrated at the lack of empathy and justice, and very angry that no matter &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;what&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you said or did, or how many &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ways&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you said it, your truth was &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NEVER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; accepted. When the control and invalidation of others got even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;worse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for making the attempt to get them to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;hear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you and/or for trying to escape from that overpowering control, how do you think that would feel? Use your imagination. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Why don't you talk that over amongst yourselves from six feet away? Don't worry...neither I nor anyone else like me will have any idea what you are talking about anyway...right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Making the Leap into Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This one is for all of you locally who still can't quite make the “amazing” connection between the two sides of the same experience: my side as the targeted, invalidated, psychologically isolated “item” being “experienced out”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;your side, as the manipulated group, creating the chaos, confusion and “fun” as directed by the est-ee nurse who is the 'Source” of this version of the domination 'game.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The psychiatric nurse is the one who “plans his goal &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FIRST; THEN&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;he plays his “game.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This part is also for all of the “Pats,” who have involved themselves, both male and female, who have added to the identity chaos with their &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; behaviour , “opinions” and “inputs”, as they say in Dale's training, and all of the “Nancys”, several of whom have acted it all out in my presence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is for the library staff at all branches, and many of the patrons, including at those branches to where I never, or rarely, go. For all their relatives and friends acting out at the mall and in the Food Courts. For all there who never stop talking, and who cannot yet make the connection between:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Talking about people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;And&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;the people who say &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are talking about them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Some of us call this, “seeing the perfectly obvious.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The only difference between &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;my&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experience of reality and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;your&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experience of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SAME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; reality, is my assigned role as the “defective.” You see folks, my role is a contrived one, and this was done by the est-ee aggressor with a hidden agenda of domination, who manipulated a group of his co-workers to participate in it, defined as a “joke” or a “game.” He also “secretly” manipulated me, to accept what was going in as a “joke” or a “game” which &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;INCLUDED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me. Of course, I am pretty sure now that the group of co -workers he manipulated to accept a different version of reality did not &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that and that it is most likely that he denies it as well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I believe he then enjoyed “observing the action between the two sides.” You know? Like&amp;nbsp; it was a form of “entertainment.” (recreation)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It then grew out from the original group of participants by means of the predicted “chain reaction” to cover the whole city and beyond. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Then, you see, to make the reality of it just go away, the target, (me) had to be told that “nothing happened” there, or in public, and that this is all just my perception/reaction problem, for which I received a nice invalidating and controlling psychiatric label after being stressed and conned out of my sanity and then forced out of my job as a genetic defective who cannot be trusted. Soon I am going to make you a nice list of “thief” stories as created and passed along via the same “chain reaction.”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This is how one becomes the ''winner'' in the ''game of life'' according to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;est-ee's ''secret'' training &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;for power and control.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As Fenwick stated in her analysis of the est training, “the power is Real.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The est-ee nurse only &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STOPPED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; smiling with “satisfaction” recently. The only real “hiding” being&amp;nbsp; accomplished here is the “hiding” all you participants in this are deluding &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;yourselves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about, even as you act it out every day. Don't worry though as I have my orders from the system not to confront you or try to talk about it locally at all. So I have not. However, there &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a limit to the control of the psychiatric system as I also will not smile on demand, or act friendly toward those who are abusing their power to save their own butts. In other words, you can &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;silence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me but you can't make me &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;talk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as if I were grateful for this disgusting display of self serving power and control. I will “forgive” those who &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;say&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so publicly and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DIRECTLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to me. I will &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “forgive” those who don't, as those who don't, aren't interested in “forgiveness.” I am sure that most of you who are to remain the “unforgiven” really won't &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;care&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about that and frankly, neither will I. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Despite the fact that you people locally have become a powerful mob, capable and willing to take over control of my life, I will &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; pretend with you, or &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you, that I cannot see you, hear you, and that I do not know what happened to me, or how it was done, so that everyone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ELSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; can feel superior to me and of course, blameless. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is time for everyone to grow up and face reality. In fact, it is long overdue. There is no “them and us.” We are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “them” and we are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “us.”&amp;nbsp; The splitting is an illusion and that illusion is making people very sick. It is driving many to suicide and a few to murder, or mass shootings etc. of those mobs of mocking abusive critics that have set themselves against them. People like &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are also the people who are against&lt;i&gt; “people who think that people are against them.” &lt;/i&gt;DUH.&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;The decision to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that is always made &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;AFTER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the psychiatrized “genetic defective” realizes that no matter &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;what&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; he or she says or does, there is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;no way out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; So people take the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;only&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; way out that is left to them: escape from life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;A few decide they will take a few of their abusers and mockers with them since it no longer matters anyway. This does &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; have to happen. Stop making &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;death&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the only way out and you will stop the suicide/murders that result from being &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;trapped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in that hopeless/helpless position. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Create&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the way out, open the door to change, and don't forget to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;include&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as part of the way out, the current obvious insanity of the whole group/mob which &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;must&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; undergo a change of attitude and behaviour itself for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; resolution to become the new reality. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Stop the nonsense. Let go of the “Family Romance.” Homewood &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;IS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; like a “family” and that very often &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;IS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; just the problem. What goes on inside those four walls &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DOES NOT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;stay inside those four walls,&amp;nbsp; and the fantastic belief that it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;does&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, is delusional and completely out of touch with &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Ironic isn't it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Source of “Schizophrenia”</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/307491</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;By Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background: #ffffcc; color: red; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Next Stop: Talking AT MY Psychiatrists and Enlightenment of the Locals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One of the main sources of “schizophrenia” is the chronic gossip and storytelling done by those who cannot make the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;connection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; between their &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; behaviour and the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reporting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;by&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; those they are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the storytelling &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;about&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. The reason they cannot make the connection is because they are deluding &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;themselves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that they are a superior form of human being who is not seen, heard or understood by those they talk &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;about&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. This is about the “them and us” split. Therefore, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the one they gossip about, who they mock and ridicule says that they do, what they do, those who delude themselves that they are “hidden” from such an inferior cannot, and will not, make the perfectly &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;obvious&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; connection between themselves and the individual to whom they are doing it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Since &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; can't be “the people” of whom the individual&amp;nbsp; speaks, it can only be some “imaginary people” which exist only in the defective individual's mind. That being the case, see how &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;right&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; they are to see and hear that one as defective, which of course means that the lack of consciousness in him or her (&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;projection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;) “proves” the people doing the talking about him or her, right in front of him or her, like s/he is not really there, need not worry about being seen, heard or understood when they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DO THAT.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Delusional group tautology completed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; delusion of superiority and “concealment” that keeps this going indefinitely. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Right now, in my own case, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;same&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; groups of people discuss, in front of me, how they have to be careful &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not to say anything &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;in front of me, as they have been been told that their talking about it has been seen and heard. Think carefully about&amp;nbsp; what this &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;means&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; from &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; point of view.&amp;nbsp; They even say&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;IN MY PRESENCE&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; “&lt;i&gt;There she is now”&lt;/i&gt;, then turn as one to look at me, as I look right back, and they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STILL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; can't make the connection. This has been almost two &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;decades&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the same group behaviour, over and over again, and it is still being denied to exist. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This is the kind of absurd nonsense with which, we on the receiving end of it, are bombarded,&amp;nbsp; along with multiple versions of reality and non stop contradiction, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WHILE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; being told it does not really exist. There is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ZERO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; direct, genuine communication while we are reduced to the level of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;OBJECTS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of observation. We are totally invalidated as human beings since our reality is being defined &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; us by group consensus, in order to allow the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to continue in it's delusion of grandeur and “concealment.” This is also why many psychiatrized people believe that these groups of idiots are just “pretending” to be stupid since it becomes pretty much impossible to believe that this many people could be, or &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STAY,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this ridiculously blind to themselves for this long. It is mind boggling. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What is “schizophrenic” is the split in reality &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ITSELF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; based on this delusional &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reversal&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;between those who see and hear the bloody obvious and those who refuse to see and hear the bloody obvious about &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BOTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; themselves and the other they objectify.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;When the individual targeted as the “defective” breaks under group pressure, non stop contradiction, psychological isolation and pressure, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;external&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experience gets internalized as the waking nightmare that it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;actually&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is, complete with the voices of mocking, ridiculing and contempt who will not just leave the individual alone no matter what s/he says or does. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THINK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about it, you pack of idiots acting out every day. Use those heads for something besides decorating with hats. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;When you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SAY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;“I am going to be really good and not talk about it today in front of people,” &lt;/i&gt;you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ARE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; talking about it right &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and the people you are talking about find you ridiculous because you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ARE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ridiculous. But &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; get to be labelled “crazy” and have their lives taken over and destroyed because people like you can't, or won't, “admit” to anything. Those you are talking about are treated like their lives are not as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; or as meaningful as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;yours,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so they don't matter. That is a 'message' that comes through loud and clear. Would &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; like to be treated like that, so that someone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;like&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you, in the position you are in now, did not have to worry about having &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; lives suffer any negative effects for what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; did... and then &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;lied&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about doing? Would you feel “friendly” toward such people? Or would you feel frightened, bewildered intimidated and frustrated at the lack of empathy and justice, and very angry that no matter &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;what&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you said or did, or how many &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ways&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you said it, your truth was &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NEVER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; accepted. When the control and invalidation of others got even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;worse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for making the attempt to get them to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;hear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you and/or for trying to escape from that overpowering control, how do you think that would feel? Use your imagination. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Why don't you talk that over amongst yourselves from six feet away? Don't worry...neither I nor anyone else like me will have any idea what you are talking about anyway...right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Making the Leap into Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This one is for all of you locally who still can't quite make the “amazing” connection between the two sides of the same experience: my side as the targeted, invalidated, psychologically isolated “item” being “experienced out”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;your side, as the manipulated group, creating the chaos, confusion and “fun” as directed by the est-ee nurse who is the 'Source” of this version of the domination 'game.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The psychiatric nurse is the one who “plans his goal &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FIRST; THEN&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;he plays his “game.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This part is also for all of the “Pats,” who have involved themselves, both male and female, who have added to the identity chaos with their &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; behaviour , “opinions” and “inputs”, as they say in Dale's training, and all of the “Nancys”, several of whom have acted it all out in my presence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is for the library staff at all branches, and many of the patrons, including at those branches to where I never, or rarely, go. For all their relatives and friends acting out at the mall and in the Food Courts. For all there who never stop talking, and who cannot yet make the connection between:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Talking about people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;And&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;the people who say &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are talking about them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Some of us call this, “seeing the perfectly obvious.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The only difference between &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;my&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experience of reality and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;your&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experience of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SAME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; reality, is my assigned role as the “defective.” You see folks, my role is a contrived one, and this was done by the est-ee aggressor with a hidden agenda of domination, who manipulated a group of his co-workers to participate in it, defined as a “joke” or a “game.” He also “secretly” manipulated me, to accept what was going in as a “joke” or a “game” which &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;INCLUDED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me. Of course, I am pretty sure now that the group of co -workers he manipulated to accept a different version of reality did not &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that and that it is most likely that he denies it as well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I believe he then enjoyed “observing the action between the two sides.” You know? Like&amp;nbsp; it was a form of “entertainment.” (recreation)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It then grew out from the original group of participants by means of the predicted “chain reaction” to cover the whole city and beyond. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Then, you see, to make the reality of it just go away, the target, (me) had to be told that “nothing happened” there, or in public, and that this is all just my perception/reaction problem, for which I received a nice invalidating and controlling psychiatric label after being stressed and conned out of my sanity and then forced out of my job as a genetic defective who cannot be trusted. Soon I am going to make you a nice list of “thief” stories as created and passed along via the same “chain reaction.”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This is how one becomes the ''winner'' in the ''game of life'' according to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;est-ee's ''secret'' training &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;for power and control.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As Fenwick stated in her analysis of the est training, “the power is Real.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The est-ee nurse only &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STOPPED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; smiling with “satisfaction” recently. The only real “hiding” being&amp;nbsp; accomplished here is the “hiding” all you participants in this are deluding &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;yourselves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about, even as you act it out every day. Don't worry though as I have my orders from the system not to confront you or try to talk about it locally at all. So I have not. However, there &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a limit to the control of the psychiatric system as I also will not smile on demand, or act friendly toward those who are abusing their power to save their own butts. In other words, you can &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;silence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me but you can't make me &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;talk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as if I were grateful for this disgusting display of self serving power and control. I will “forgive” those who &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;say&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so publicly and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DIRECTLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to me. I will &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “forgive” those who don't, as those who don't, aren't interested in “forgiveness.” I am sure that most of you who are to remain the “unforgiven” really won't &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;care&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about that and frankly, neither will I. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Despite the fact that you people locally have become a powerful mob, capable and willing to take over control of my life, I will &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; pretend with you, or &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you, that I cannot see you, hear you, and that I do not know what happened to me, or how it was done, so that everyone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ELSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; can feel superior to me and of course, blameless. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is time for everyone to grow up and face reality. In fact, it is long overdue. There is no “them and us.” We are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “them” and we are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “us.”&amp;nbsp; The splitting is an illusion and that illusion is making people very sick. It is driving many to suicide and a few to murder, or mass shootings etc. of those mobs of mocking abusive critics that have set themselves against them. People like &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are also the people who are against&lt;i&gt; “people who think that people are against them.” &lt;/i&gt;DUH.&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;The decision to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that is always made &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;AFTER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the psychiatrized “genetic defective” realizes that no matter &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;what&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; he or she says or does, there is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;no way out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; So people take the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;only&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; way out that is left to them: escape from life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;A few decide they will take a few of their abusers and mockers with them since it no longer matters anyway. This does &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; have to happen. Stop making &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;death&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the only way out and you will stop the suicide/murders that result from being &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;trapped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in that hopeless/helpless position. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Create&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the way out, open the door to change, and don't forget to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;include&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as part of the way out, the current obvious insanity of the whole group/mob which &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;must&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; undergo a change of attitude and behaviour itself for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; resolution to become the new reality. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Stop the nonsense. Let go of the “Family Romance.” Homewood &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;IS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; like a “family” and that very often &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;IS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; just the problem. What goes on inside those four walls &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DOES NOT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;stay inside those four walls,&amp;nbsp; and the fantastic belief that it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;does&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, is delusional and completely out of touch with &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Ironic isn't it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Source of “Schizophrenia”</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/307489</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;By Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One of the main sources of “schizophrenia” is the chronic gossip and storytelling done by those who cannot make the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;connection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; between their &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; behaviour and the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reporting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;by&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; those they are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the storytelling &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;about&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. The reason they cannot make the connection is because they are deluding &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;themselves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that they are a superior form of human being who is not seen, heard or understood by those they talk &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;about&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. This is about the “them and us” split. Therefore, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the one they gossip about, who they mock and ridicule says that they do, what they do, those who delude themselves that they are “hidden” from such an inferior cannot, and will not, make the perfectly &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;obvious&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; connection between themselves and the individual to whom they are doing it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Since &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; can't be “the people” of whom the individual&amp;nbsp; speaks, it can only be some “imaginary people” which exist only in the defective individual's mind. That being the case, see how &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;right&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; they are to see and hear that one as defective, which of course means that the lack of consciousness in him or her (&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;projection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;) “proves” the people doing the talking about him or her, right in front of him or her, like s/he is not really there, need not worry about being seen, heard or understood when they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DO THAT.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Delusional group tautology completed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; delusion of superiority and “concealment” that keeps this going indefinitely. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Right now, in my own case, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;same&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; groups of people discuss, in front of me, how they have to be careful &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not to say anything &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;in front of me, as they have been been told that their talking about it has been seen and heard. Think carefully about&amp;nbsp; what this &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;means&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; from &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;MY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; point of view.&amp;nbsp; They even say&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;IN MY PRESENCE&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; “&lt;i&gt;There she is now”&lt;/i&gt;, then turn as one to look at me, as I look right back, and they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STILL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; can't make the connection. This has been almost two &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;decades&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the same group behaviour, over and over again, and it is still being denied to exist. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This is the kind of absurd nonsense with which, we on the receiving end of it, are bombarded,&amp;nbsp; along with multiple versions of reality and non stop contradiction, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;WHILE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; being told it does not really exist. There is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ZERO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; direct, genuine communication while we are reduced to the level of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;OBJECTS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of observation. We are totally invalidated as human beings since our reality is being defined &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; us by group consensus, in order to allow the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to continue in it's delusion of grandeur and “concealment.” This is also why many psychiatrized people believe that these groups of idiots are just “pretending” to be stupid since it becomes pretty much impossible to believe that this many people could be, or &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STAY,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this ridiculously blind to themselves for this long. It is mind boggling. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What is “schizophrenic” is the split in reality &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ITSELF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; based on this delusional &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reversal&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;between those who see and hear the bloody obvious and those who refuse to see and hear the bloody obvious about &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BOTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; themselves and the other they objectify.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;When the individual targeted as the “defective” breaks under group pressure, non stop contradiction, psychological isolation and pressure, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;external&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experience gets internalized as the waking nightmare that it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;actually&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is, complete with the voices of mocking, ridiculing and contempt who will not just leave the individual alone no matter what s/he says or does. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THINK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about it, you pack of idiots acting out every day. Use those heads for something besides decorating with hats. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;When you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SAY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;“I am going to be really good and not talk about it today in front of people,” &lt;/i&gt;you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ARE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; talking about it right &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and the people you are talking about find you ridiculous because you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ARE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ridiculous. But &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; get to be labelled “crazy” and have their lives taken over and destroyed because people like you can't, or won't, “admit” to anything. Those you are talking about are treated like their lives are not as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; or as meaningful as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;yours,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so they don't matter. That is a 'message' that comes through loud and clear. Would &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; like to be treated like that, so that someone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;like&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you, in the position you are in now, did not have to worry about having &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; lives suffer any negative effects for what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; did... and then &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;lied&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about doing? Would you feel “friendly” toward such people? Or would you feel frightened, bewildered intimidated and frustrated at the lack of empathy and justice, and very angry that no matter &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;what&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you said or did, or how many &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ways&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you said it, your truth was &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NEVER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; accepted. When the control and invalidation of others got even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;worse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for making the attempt to get them to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;hear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you and/or for trying to escape from that overpowering control, how do you think that would feel? Use your imagination. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Why don't you talk that over amongst yourselves from six feet away? Don't worry...neither I nor anyone else like me will have any idea what you are talking about anyway...right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Making the Leap into Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This one is for all of you locally who still can't quite make the “amazing” connection between the two sides of the same experience: my side as the targeted, invalidated, psychologically isolated “item” being “experienced out”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;your side, as the manipulated group, creating the chaos, confusion and “fun” as directed by the est-ee nurse who is the 'Source” of this version of the domination 'game.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The psychiatric nurse is the one who “plans his goal &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FIRST; THEN&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;he plays his “game.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This part is also for all of the “Pats,” who have involved themselves, both male and female, who have added to the identity chaos with their &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; behaviour , “opinions” and “inputs”, as they say in Dale's training, and all of the “Nancys”, several of whom have acted it all out in my presence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is for the library staff at all branches, and many of the patrons, including at those branches to where I never, or rarely, go. For all their relatives and friends acting out at the mall and in the Food Courts. For all there who never stop talking, and who cannot yet make the connection between:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Talking about people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;And&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;the people who say &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;THEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are talking about them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Some of us call this, “seeing the perfectly obvious.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The only difference between &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;my&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experience of reality and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;your&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; experience of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;SAME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; reality, is my assigned role as the “defective.” You see folks, my role is a contrived one, and this was done by the est-ee aggressor with a hidden agenda of domination, who manipulated a group of his co-workers to participate in it, defined as a “joke” or a “game.” He also “secretly” manipulated me, to accept what was going in as a “joke” or a “game” which &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;INCLUDED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me. Of course, I am pretty sure now that the group of co -workers he manipulated to accept a different version of reality did not &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that and that it is most likely that he denies it as well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I believe he then enjoyed “observing the action between the two sides.” You know? Like&amp;nbsp; it was a form of “entertainment.” (recreation)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It then grew out from the original group of participants by means of the predicted “chain reaction” to cover the whole city and beyond. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Then, you see, to make the reality of it just go away, the target, (me) had to be told that “nothing happened” there, or in public, and that this is all just my perception/reaction problem, for which I received a nice invalidating and controlling psychiatric label after being stressed and conned out of my sanity and then forced out of my job as a genetic defective who cannot be trusted. Soon I am going to make you a nice list of “thief” stories as created and passed along via the same “chain reaction.”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This is how one becomes the ''winner'' in the ''game of life'' according to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;est-ee's ''secret'' training &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;for power and control.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As Fenwick stated in her analysis of the est training, “the power is Real.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The est-ee nurse only &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;STOPPED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; smiling with “satisfaction” recently. The only real “hiding” being&amp;nbsp; accomplished here is the “hiding” all you participants in this are deluding &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;yourselves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about, even as you act it out every day. Don't worry though as I have my orders from the system not to confront you or try to talk about it locally at all. So I have not. However, there &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a limit to the control of the psychiatric system as I also will not smile on demand, or act friendly toward those who are abusing their power to save their own butts. In other words, you can &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;silence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me but you can't make me &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;talk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as if I were grateful for this disgusting display of self serving power and control. I will “forgive” those who &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;say&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so publicly and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DIRECTLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to me. I will &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “forgive” those who don't, as those who don't, aren't interested in “forgiveness.” I am sure that most of you who are to remain the “unforgiven” really won't &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;care&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; about that and frankly, neither will I. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Despite the fact that you people locally have become a powerful mob, capable and willing to take over control of my life, I will &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; pretend with you, or &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you, that I cannot see you, hear you, and that I do not know what happened to me, or how it was done, so that everyone &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ELSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; can feel superior to me and of course, blameless. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is time for everyone to grow up and face reality. In fact, it is long overdue. There is no “them and us.” We are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “them” and we are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; “us.”&amp;nbsp; The splitting is an illusion and that illusion is making people very sick. It is driving many to suicide and a few to murder, or mass shootings etc. of those mobs of mocking abusive critics that have set themselves against them. People like &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are also the people who are against&lt;i&gt; “people who think that people are against them.” &lt;/i&gt;DUH.&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;The decision to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that is always made &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;AFTER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the psychiatrized “genetic defective” realizes that no matter &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;what&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; he or she says or does, there is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;no way out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; So people take the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;only&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; way out that is left to them: escape from life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;A few decide they will take a few of their abusers and mockers with them since it no longer matters anyway. This does &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; have to happen. Stop making &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;death&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the only way out and you will stop the suicide/murders that result from being &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;trapped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in that hopeless/helpless position. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Create&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the way out, open the door to change, and don't forget to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;include&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as part of the way out, the current obvious insanity of the whole group/mob which &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;must&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; undergo a change of attitude and behaviour itself for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; resolution to become the new reality. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Stop the nonsense. Let go of the “Family Romance.” Homewood &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;IS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; like a “family” and that very often &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;IS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; just the problem. What goes on inside those four walls &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;DOES NOT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;stay inside those four walls,&amp;nbsp; and the fantastic belief that it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;does&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, is delusional and completely out of touch with &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;REALITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Ironic isn't it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Community Acting Out- January 2012</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/307426</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Did you know that “&lt;i&gt;it is the guy with the beard who thinks he is in love with her?”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Which&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;many&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;guys with &lt;span&gt;beards of course is another matter... Also the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;source&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the rumour is something else and it could just as easily be another manufactured “story” which the locals &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;so&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; love to spread, or it could be reality, or it could be a little “test” to see what kind of a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reaction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the story teller acting out in front of me can get, or it could be the story teller acting it out &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;genuinely&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BELIEVES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the story even though it is a load of crap. In any case, I am sure all the citizens will debate it all amongst themselves and come to some decision about what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;my&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; reality is on this one, just like on all the other 'stories' they have been passing along for almost twenty years now. At least that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;might&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; happen if my report of this was reality; which of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;course&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, as it would not be reasonable for strangers to me to act this way...therefore none of this has &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; happened and isn't happening &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;now&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; either....therefore, I must not try to 'confront' all of the “normal”&amp;nbsp; population here with my paranoid delusions and hallucinated conversations about &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as that would be “inappropriate” of me to do so...especially if they thought their “covert” ops weren't really “covert” at all. That would just ruin all their “fun.” Is retired bus driver Bob Crawford related to Homewood nurse Chris Crawford?...I don't know why I suddenly wondered about that there...must be part of my mysterious “illness” that no one can understand except experts......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Really, there is nothing happening; nothing at all and I am only imagining it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One of the other things I &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;imagined&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this week....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;”Well, everybody was sure that Steve would have told her. But apparently he did not tell her anything either.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Now which of all the “Steves” around might &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; one be?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Oh now there I go again treated all these hallucinated conversations of mine as if they were reality...aren't I just the madwoman who can never be “cured”? That is probably why I also hallucinated total strangers walking to within a few feet of me and saying things like , &lt;i&gt;“I used to really hate her for what she has done but NOW, I just feel sorry for her.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;...Aren't they generous with their forgiveness? I know I should feel grateful for all of that but then you know whack jobs like me&amp;nbsp; are never grateful when others tell us we should be and of course it is the mystery disease I have that causes that and has nothing at all to do with reality...does it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now Nancy at the library is alleged to be of the opinion that &lt;i&gt;''they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BOTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; need therapy.'' &lt;/i&gt;She is dropping into the main branch a lot with the latest updates&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;(according to my hallucinations) so maybe a bus driver could sneak into the back room again and get the latest opinion poll???? Check with Tony C and see what he's got.&amp;nbsp; (aren't my paranoid delusions fascinating? Let's ask the library staff if they think so) Did you know last week I reported that a toilet paper dispenser was taken apart in the women's room there? Well according to later stories, an employee suggested that I probably just did that myself..you know...in order to seek that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;attention&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; nuts like me like to go for by ''pretending'' to help when ''really'' we are the ones &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;causing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the problem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Needless to say, I will not be making any further reports of any problems at the library main branch, since it will only be added to my list of “symptoms.”....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Really, everyone else &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;knows&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; better because the Homewood staff, volunteers,&amp;nbsp; patients and family members have kept everyone informed of just who is whom and what is what.&amp;nbsp; If you can't trust the Homewood staff to tell you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;the straight truth,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; who can you trust? Right?....Good question.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>She Says, It's Like Having Your Life Turned into a Public Circus</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/288087</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I've walked these streets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;A virtual &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;stage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;It seemed to me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Make up on their faces&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: #cccc00;"&gt;A.c.t.ors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt; took their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Places next to me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I've walked these streets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;In a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;carnival&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Of sights to see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;All the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;cheap&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; thrill seekers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;vendors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &amp;amp; the dealers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;They crowded around me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Have I been blind?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Have I been lost?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Inside myself and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;My own mind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Hypnotized&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: #cccc00;"&gt;Mesmerized&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;By what my eyes have seen? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I've walked these streets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;In a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;spectacle of wealth &amp;amp; poverty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;In the diamond market&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The scarlet welcome carpet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;That they just rolled out for me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I've walked these streets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: #cccc00;"&gt;In the mad house asylum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;They can be&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Where a wild eyed misfit prophet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;On a traffic island stopped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: #cccc00;"&gt;And he raved of saving me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;By what my eyes have seen? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Have I been &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;wrong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Have I been wise&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: #cccc00;"&gt;To shut my eyes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: #cccc00;"&gt;And play along&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Hypnotized&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Paralyzed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;By what my eyes have &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;found&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;By what my eyes have seen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;What they have seen? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Have I been blind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Have I been strong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Have I been&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Hypnotized&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Mesmerized&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;By what my eyes have found&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: #cccc00;"&gt;In that great street carnival&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;In that carnival? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; particular city...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: #ddd9c3; font-family: verdana; color: #ff0000;"&gt;Next Stop: Spirit Voices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I was 58 and a bit when I died.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I was living in a hell hole of a place where the landlord acted like they were doing me a big favour by letting me live when no one else would have me. I lived in an institution most of my life before this but that was before the powers that be decided these places should be run 'like a business.' I was not very profitable as ‘a business.’ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I got sick and confused when I was still a child and I never really developed into a real adult after that. Oh I &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;tried&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; but people saw me as 'different' and they treated me different too. I could never object to anything I was told I had to be, or do, or say; I could never question &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;anything&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; anyone else said...not because I did not &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;want&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to, or did not think of a reason to do so, but because they all &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;told&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me I could not and that I had to listen to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as I had no insight into my own illness. I think I accepted that because I was so &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;young&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; when they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;started&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; telling me that, that I didn't have any good arguments to give anyone, as I had never &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;learned&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; anything. Maybe if I had been older when it first happened I could have got better but I don't think anyone would even have noticed if I did anyway. My world was about following orders which is how they defined when I was 'good.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I realized this only after I was dead. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;There is nothing like dying to clear all the cobwebs and programming out of your head. I kind of think when the brain dies and the constant influence and other control is gone, the soul lives. You might say we “die and learn” ha ha. If I was alive and said that, there would probably be an intervention called as it would be heard in psychiatric terms. Or someone would ‘correct’ my metaphor for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Psychiatrists have lousy senses of humour. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I think that is because they live in their own imaginary little world. I used to ask this woman here who is channelling me if she wanted to be my girlfriend. That sounds childlike to me now but I was always so happy when anyone was really nice to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I had a lousy life on earth. I can say that now because no team of ACT workers will come after me, but had I said that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, I would have been 'corrected' for it and likely told I should be grateful for having such a great family. I think I was driven into a psychosis the first time when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I didn't really know what it was then, just that it was really scary and I never slept. Both my parents were alcoholics. They really scared me a lot. I was not allowed to talk about it. They told me that what went on inside those four walls &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;STAYED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; inside those four walls. I never knew the difference between what was private and what was secret. I don’t think I knew there &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;WAS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a difference. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyway, as I said, with death comes a certain clarity of spirit. I am now a part of the living collective consciousness and the other spirits in here with me, both the living and the dead, are teaching me &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;many&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; things. One of the things I learned was how absolutely blind to reality most of the 'normal' really are. A female spirit told me that. I was talking about my struggle to stop getting picked on and she told me that most of the people who abuse us don't know, that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;we&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; know, what they are doing! I thought that was just plain crazy. How could they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; know we know? She said it was because &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;THEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; thought of us as if we were a different &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;species&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and so they treated us &lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;as&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;if&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; that were true. When she said this, something started to click in me and for the first time I started to be able to figure out a few things I could make no sense of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;at&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; all before. I remember feeling really upset about an incident on a bus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Not long before this incident, I had been inside the hospital for another round of help in the endless lifetime series of it. I told one of my nurses that some of the bus drivers were really mean to me and I wanted them to stop, so she told me what I should do to be nice to them. She assured me that if I was nice to them, that they would be nice to me. I believed her and so I listened carefully to everything she told me so that I could change the situation. So I tried to be nice when I got on the bus. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I even remember saying once, &lt;i&gt;Good&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;morning&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mr.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;driver...It&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;sure&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;a&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;nice&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;day&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;today&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;isn't&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;it?&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;He just looked at me and didn't say anything. Of course now that I am no longer on earth, I know that this sounds so stilted and strange coming from a man in his fifties. But &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you see is how psychiatric hospital staff talked to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;me&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; and that is what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;THEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; defined for me as 'normal' behaviour. Of course, this did not work for a number of reasons which I understand &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;NOW&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, but did not understand then. This is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;institutional&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; type behaviour created under years, sometimes decades of invalidating and suppressing 'treatment.' It is like Stockholm Syndrome which happens when a captive must please his captors so that nothing &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;worse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; will happen to him, and that is the mentality I learned, and what I was trained to live with. But there is nothing 'normal' about it. It is actually bizarre for a grown man to be expected to relate like that and to be told this is ‘good’ and proper. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One of my friends at the psych hospital used to say that you could not identify the 'inmates' in there apart from some of the staff without a program! That is true &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;outside&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; the institutions too. The belief that it is all nicely and neatly divided into sane and insane, normal and abnormal is nonsense. Yet we are told we must accept the nonsense as reality if we want to be left alone and avoid getting an even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;BIGGER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; dose of awareness reduction medication.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyway, shortly after my “good morning Mr. Bus driver” day, I got on another bus to go home after day of being mocked in public places; like a restaurant and at the mall. It had been a particularly horrible day, so I tried to act real nice to the bus driver who did not say a word back to me but then, he started talking &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;about&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; me like I was not there and two male morons on the bus with him joined in. One of them was sitting right in front of me on the seat which was sideways to me and the other was sitting directly across the aisle from me and staring into my face with an amused look on his face. Then the other one joined in by saying to the bus driver, &lt;i&gt;Did&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;want&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;to&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;say&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;something&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;nice&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;to&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;this&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;guy&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mr.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Driver?..&lt;/i&gt;.The bus driver looked in the mirror at me and laughed. The other two joined in as he said to them, &lt;i&gt;He&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;won&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;’&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;t&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;notice,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;he&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;just&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;in&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;a&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;kind&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;of&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;fight&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;with&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;himself&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;has&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;no&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;idea&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;what&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;going&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;on&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;anyway.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;The&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;sad&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;part&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;it&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;the&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;guy&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;sitting&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;behind&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;him&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;winning&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;the&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;fight!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;” &lt;/i&gt;Then all three of them l just guffawed with laugher since there was no one else on the bus. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I just felt &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;sick&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, and I decided to say something this time, kind of turned my head away because I already &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;knew&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the kind of answer I would get would be to correct me. So I asked them, “&lt;i&gt;Why&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;doing&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;this&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;to&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;me?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;didn&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;’&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;t&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;anything&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;to&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;you.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;They all looked at me kind of grinning together and obviously really enjoying themselves and one of the morons asked the driver, &lt;i&gt;Who&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;he&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;talking&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;to&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;now?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;”&lt;/i&gt; The driver said, “&lt;i&gt;He&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;talking&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;to&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;the&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;people&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;inside&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;him&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;who&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;annoying&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;him...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;”&lt;/i&gt; Then they all laughed some more oblivious to my distress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I used to believe when I was alive that they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;did&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that just to hurt me. But you know what? A lady spirit told me that they did not &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;KNOW&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I was talking to them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I didn’t believe her at first. I said to her voice, “&lt;i&gt;how&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;could&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;they&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;know&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;that?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;was&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;sitting&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;right&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;there&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;talking&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;to&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;them?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;”&lt;/i&gt; She said, &lt;i&gt;it&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;was&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;because&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;THEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;were&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;deluding&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;themselves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyway, after the lady spirit told me that, I started to feel a whole lot better and I think that when I am all healed from this, the kingdom of heaven is where we go after we let go of all the nonsense we were dragging around in the previous life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I am free to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;say&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that right out &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;loud&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; now that I am dead and no longer an offence to others. There is no psychiatrist or ACT team going to come to get me for my expression of ‘religiosity’ &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;now&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I am finally &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;free&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to be truly &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;ME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. I even think that I just might be coming back one day....of course, I'm nuts...so what would &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; know?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Community Acting Out- January 2012</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/307427</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ddd9c3; color: #ff0000;"&gt;Next stop: Pistachio Press&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Did you know that “&lt;i&gt;it is the guy with the beard who thinks he is in love with her?”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;Which&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;many&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;guys with &lt;span&gt;beards of course is another matter... Also the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;source&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the rumour is something else and it could just as easily be another manufactured “story” which the locals &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;so&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; love to spread, or it could be reality, or it could be a little “test” to see what kind of a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;reaction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the story teller acting out in front of me can get, or it could be the story teller acting it out &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;genuinely&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BELIEVES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the story even though it is a load of crap. In any case, I am sure all the citizens will debate it all amongst themselves and come to some decision about what &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;my&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; reality is on this one, just like on all the other 'stories' they have been passing along for almost twenty years now. At least that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;might&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; happen if my report of this was reality; which of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;course&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, as it would not be reasonable for strangers to me to act this way...therefore none of this has &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;ever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; happened and isn't happening &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;now&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; either....therefore, I must not try to 'confront' all of the “normal”&amp;nbsp; population here with my paranoid delusions and hallucinated conversations about &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as that would be “inappropriate” of me to do so...especially if they thought their “covert” ops weren't really “covert” at all. That would just ruin all their “fun.” Is retired bus driver Bob Crawford related to Homewood nurse Chris Crawford?...I don't know why I suddenly wondered about that there...must be part of my mysterious “illness” that no one can understand except experts......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Really, there is nothing happening; nothing at all and I am only imagining it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One of the other things I &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;imagined&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this week....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;”Well, everybody was sure that Steve would have told her. But apparently he did not tell her anything either.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Now which of all the “Steves” around might &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; one be?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Oh now there I go again treated all these hallucinated conversations of mine as if they were reality...aren't I just the madwoman who can never be “cured”? That is probably why I also hallucinated total strangers walking to within a few feet of me and saying things like , &lt;i&gt;“I used to really hate her for what she has done but NOW, I just feel sorry for her.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;...Aren't they generous with their forgiveness? I know I should feel grateful for all of that but then you know whack jobs like me&amp;nbsp; are never grateful when others tell us we should be and of course it is the mystery disease I have that causes that and has nothing at all to do with reality...does it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now Nancy at the library is alleged to be of the opinion that &lt;i&gt;''they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;BOTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; need therapy.'' &lt;/i&gt;She is dropping into the main branch a lot with the latest updates&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;(according to my hallucinations) so maybe a bus driver could sneak into the back room again and get the latest opinion poll???? Check with Tony C and see what he's got.&amp;nbsp; (aren't my paranoid delusions fascinating? Let's ask the library staff if they think so) Did you know last week I reported that a toilet paper dispenser was taken apart in the women's room there? Well according to later stories, an employee suggested that I probably just did that myself..you know...in order to seek that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;attention&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; nuts like me like to go for by ''pretending'' to help when ''really'' we are the ones &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;causing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the problem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Needless to say, I will not be making any further reports of any problems at the library main branch, since it will only be added to my list of “symptoms.”....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Really, everyone else &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;knows&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; better because the Homewood staff, volunteers,&amp;nbsp; patients and family members have kept everyone informed of just who is whom and what is what.&amp;nbsp; If you can't trust the Homewood staff to tell you &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e6e64c;"&gt;the straight truth,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; who can you trust? Right?....Good question.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Late John McCarthy Irish Advocate</title><link>http://www.counterpsych.com/aspx/m/690941/beid/137148</link><description>&lt;p class="Heading2" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #938953;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We Regret to Announce the Death&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

(and possibly since 92, which is before my own awareness of him and his covert “game.”)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Please &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;include&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in your evaluations of me; my &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;FULL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; awareness of you, what you have done, what you have had to say, what you've “invented”, how much “fun” you have had, and continue to have, your lies about what you did, or did not do, your little “tests” given to see what kind of a reaction you can get, and the fact that my experience of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of it was neatly 'diagnosed” away as nothing but my “mental illness.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Have you got that OK? Focus now. Now holding that image of my awareness in your mind, visualize yourself as me.&amp;nbsp; Got the feel of that OK?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Here is the question:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;How much smiling do you think you would be doing and how “friendly” do you think you would feel toward people like you, who not only &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;never&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; admitted to anything that they did, but also lied about it all and then let all your losses grow bigger, and worse, for decades?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now visualize a group from the above mentioned categories of behaviour, mostly strangers to you, many who participated themselves in the psychological and verbal abuse, saying &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;AT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you, from six feet away, “&lt;i&gt;People don't like her cause she is just not friendly enough.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What do you feel now? Is it the urge to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;soothe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the delicate feelings of the poor snubbed judge who doesn't &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;like&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; you and tells others about it? Or is it something else?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;On completion of this awareness exercise, discuss the reality of it amongst yourselves and the possible payoffs all of the participants are getting from acting out their various roles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
How about...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Did you ever notice how the people who are the most negative people you know, constantly hostile and contemptuous of people they don't even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;ALSO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the same people who will tell you things like “&lt;i&gt;we must always be positive.&lt;/i&gt;.” if you just mention something as insignificant as the weather? Seriously folks, I know someone who spends every, single, day looking for those dark linings in every silver cloud, who can't go to the mailbox without turning it into a major melodrama, who finds all the shortcomings in &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;everyone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; around them but who nevertheless “corrects” the attitudes&amp;nbsp; of those who say. . “&lt;i&gt;not too pleasant out right now...a tornado lifted me off the ground and tossed me into a tree..”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now now,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; says the correcter (who complained yesterday about how hard it was on him to open the door to take his mail out of the box, adding a complaint about how the mail carrier put it &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;inside&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the box &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;wrong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as it should have been facing “outward'...&lt;i&gt; We must always be positive...it could have been worse now couldn't it? At least you are alive so you have &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;much&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to be grateful for, now don't you?”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I mean... can these people just not &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;HEAR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; themselves or what? This one can make his own everyday headache seem like major brain surgery at the same time someone else's &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;actual&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; brain surgery is minimized to the level of simple headache.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;These are the folks who are always ranting, complaining and violating other people's boundaries, sometimes in extreme ways that seem &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;really&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; obvious, yet they seem to have no idea about what they do, that it is objectionable and no comprehension that those they are “correcting” are often in ten times better psychological shape, and in far better humour most of the time, than &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are, while they tell us the “we must always be positive.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I'll tell you one thing...I'm &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;POSITIVE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that these “happy” people are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;REALLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; dragging me down into their chronic negativity and I need to avoid too much contact with all the “happiness” if I want to stay alive and functioning...har har har &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I do think there is a TV episode in there somewhere though..a brand new show about “nothing” about a city with a large psychiatric hospital in it where the people &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;most&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; seriously labelled as mentally ill are &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;actually&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the sanest members of the community but nobody knows it, or ever notices. It could make for some really great comedy; a show about a city where being psychologically twisted is considered to be normal and anyone who is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;not twisted&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;stands out as “odd” and gets hunted down for treatment so they will become like the majority. It could be a kind of comedic Twilight Zone in which Geraldine, Georgette, Alan and Kruger must pretend to be “normal” in order to escape the help they do not want and do not believe they need but know they cannot &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;SAY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccc00;"&gt;saying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; so is defined as symptoms “proving” how “crazy” they really are.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;
