The Generating of Blamelessness
It is very often the case that the first person to tell the victim of abuse that s/he can't “blame others” IS the abuser. Can you see the “logic” in that all right?
That instruction to the victim creates a metaphysical “snare” (infinite loop) which traps the victim. If the abuser is an “authority” figure of some kind, even more so. If a group of the abusers supporters and enablers believe that the abuser is actually being “falsley accused” then they are actually, supporting, enabling and reinforcing the abusers power and control over his/her victim , often without any awareness at all that this is what they are in fact, DOING. Many victims of unrecognized abuse have been lost forever under the weight of just such intolerable pressure of invalidation and the circumstances created in concrete reality by the misidentification of reality between two people whose identities get “switched.”

Splitting Formula for Sustained Dysfunction
The people who I think are talking about me, are talking about me while believing they are somehow hidden in plain sight. Since they are hiding in plain sight, they conclude they are not the people who are talking about me and the people I think are talking about me must be some other people, and not them. In fact, the people I am talking about, must be some imaginary people I only 'think' I see and hear, because I am crazy. Since I am obviously crazy then, the people I think are talking about me, in my presence, can keep right on talking about me, as I am so crazy I will not know they are talking about me anyway.

Ezekiel Saw the Wheel
I believe that the 'wheel' he 'saw' was the wheel of life.
The spokes of the wheel represent the various paths taken, like the various religions and points of view on reality. The point though is that all paths lead to the centre where all of creation was, is now and is becoming “One.”
I have no problem at all with anyone who does not agree with me, as to the fact that they are not agreeing. The people I have the problem with are those who believe they are entitled to abuse me, treat me with contempt, or take over running my life FOR me, BECAUSE they do not agree with me.

Stigma
by Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic
One of my readers was telling me that he had been contacted by a professional to participate in a conference about the 'stigma' of mental illness. My reader then discovered that the professional was not really interested in hearing what was being said, just as inside the bio psychiatric system he had not seen any interest in his point of view after the first few minutes when a diagnosis was reached. In part, my answer to his experience included this and I thought I would post it here as I have heard it so frequently.
What 'stigma' means to 'them' and what it means to us is not the same thing. "They" want to get rid of the ''stigma" of 'mental illness' by training the public to become even MORE deaf to what we 'claim' happened to us involving other people, by strenuously promoting the idea that our CLAIMS are just a manifestation of a bio chemical illness 'just like diabetes.'
See the difference? We on BOTH sides of the meaning admit to the ongoing existence of a 'stigma,' but the understanding of the actual cause of that is completely different. So, while we are using the same WORD, we do not mean the same thing, and 'OUR' side of our own experience is not invited to 'debate' it with the 'experts.' This extreme imbalance (ironically) of POWER and control is what is keeping this going.
It creates a tautological argument that has already been 'won' by the 'experts' BEFORE our experience of it has even begun. It is also doing a damned fine job of enabling and supporting abusers who want to believe THEY represent all this is 'normal' in the world and they are therefore 'justified' in their abuse of others since we 'others' are 'abnormal.' This is especially true if the abuse is psycho-spiritual/verbal in nature as we can’t parade our 'bruises' or 'injury' in a concrete way.
It is all about the psycho-politics.

How Does a Mirror Work?
First posted in 2007
Looking at your own face in a mirror is like looking at yourself as if you were seeing someone else.
If you were ‘delusional’ though, it might be like looking at someone else, as if you were seeing yourself.
In the first instance you would recognize, on a concrete level, who you were really seeing. In the second instance, you would not recognize that on a concrete level.
I suggest that psychiatrists tend to do both of the above while failing to see the existence of the mirror. I said long ago that those labeled ‘schizophrenic’ were actually mirroring back to the presumably ‘sane’ ones, the projected ‘split’ in reality being projected by the ‘sane’ ones.
It is the firmly anchored and well entrenched ‘them and us’ mentality which is the cause of that. In another century we might call this vampirism. For the modern day DSM might I suggest: N.R.D. (not, not ‘nerd’) No ‘Reflection’ Disorder.
Why don’t you reflect on that for awhile?
Please be very careful not to confuse this with G.E.E.C. (Grossly Exaggerated Expertise Condition)
