WHAT IS "PTSD" ?

 

The "SECRET" of PTSD is that what people "think" is the cause of PTSD.... is only half of the problem of PTSD!  PTSD is actually caused by one's MIND attempting to "vent" intensely painful emotional energy of early childhood.... that was stimulated by  a relatively recent event that was strong enough to stimulate that early childhood event!  And one's MIND is focusing on the recent event in order to keep the early childhood event a secret!

First of all [I believe] the label is misleading.  " Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" is partly correct... however, what one is experiencing is not due to what one can remember experiencing in recent memory... what is actually causing a person to experience PTSD is the MIND insuring that one's memory of the early childhood trauma  remain hidden!   What happened to that a person in early childhood was intensely frightening,  and his or her MIND is seeking to keep that early childhood memory hidden!

 Why is it that those who are attempting to help vets and others who are experiencing PTSD today not aware of what I just pointed out?   Well the reason goes back to B.F. Skinner in the early 1930's:  And his influence on the field of Psychology.

The sad part about B.F. Skinner is how much he influenced the field of Psychology, and the denial of the MIND of Man as he promoted Intellectualism, and a denial of the emotions of Man.

Behavioral "psychology" is pure intellectualism, which is a denial of the MIND of Man. And it is also a denial of what the ancient Greeks gave the world many ages ago as "Psychology"!

BLOG # 2....HOMOSEXUALITY IS A MENTAL ILLNESS... HOW DO WE KNOW?

 Well, we know it is a mental illness because homosexuality cannot reproduce the species.

And thus, it does not "fit"with the nature of this Earth Plane... does it?

Homosexuality is therefore a mental illness... and that is part of the answer to question #1.  But to provide a complete answer to what CAUSES homosexuality we have to look at the whole of the  process which  "CAUSES" homosexuality!  And this requires us to increase our understanding of the MIND:  The nature of the LAW OF KARMA; and a greatly expanded [and little-known aspect of a person's personality]... which is formed between the ages of two and perhaps four].  And it also involves what I refer to as the term "misperception".  We can define "misperception" as a deep-seated psychological view of oneself as bad and deserving of being punished.   And all of this is entirely non-conscious  to the person with a conflicted MIND.    The MIND of this person then develops habit patterns that are "self-punishing"but the MIND of this person feeds "Delusional Thinking" to his or her brain... so that the person rationalizes these behavior patterns.   That is, this person's MIND begins to form behaviors or  habit-patterns that cause the person to feel bad emotionally, but their MIND feeds their brain D-Think that rationalizes such behaviors as just bad habits they can't seem to break.  

So, we have a person who is seen to eat too much, drink too much, continually hurt themselves [cutting themselves, bumping into things, or other ways that physically harm themselves.  These people will also likely be seen as over-eating, drinking alcohol excessively, and engaging in behavior that causes others to avoid their company.  And any number of behaviors that cause others to avoid them [this of course is painful for them]... and this is how they punish themselves.  Perhaps you know people like this?

And modern psychology does its best to avoid dealing with the MIND entirely.  And the only people in the field still required to deal with the MIND at all are psychiatrists. The MIND can only be "dealt with" by someone who has developed his or her faculty of Intuition to the point they can "read" the MIND of those suffering from repressed "misperceptions".  How does anyone explain how the MIND works to others when the MIND is invisible to the brain? The ONLY WAY to acquire the Knowledge needed to deal with the MIND is to awaken to one's own MIND... and those capable of doing this are currently dissuaded from doing so.

The field of "psychology" is no longer interested in the MIND and how it works... because it cannot be "dealt with" intellectually!   And the result of this avoidance of the MIND in modern "psychology" naturally results  in the increase in all forms of mental illness.  And the denial of the MIND by mental health today also results in growing levels of suicide.... out of desperation.   Suicide is on the increase because Veterans suffering from PTSD, or young people lost in psychological confusion are not receiving the help they deserve and need.

 

 Sorry to end this blog on such a negative note... but that's where we are today.

THE NATION NEEDS AN ANSWER TO 2 QUESTIONS!

QUESTION #1:                     

 

 

 

 

AND QUESTION #2: 

                                                    WHY DOES PSYCHOLOGY NOT KNOW WHICH IT IS  

 HOW ABOUT THE MIND 

 SHALL WE BEGIN WITH THE MIND?

OR... IS PSYCHOLOGY IGNORING IT AS WELL?

In the 1930's, the field of Psychology saw a chance to dump the Esoteric elements of Psychology and embrace Intellectualism, replacing the Psychology that the ancient Greeks gave the world many years ago. And today, this is what the term psychology covers:

  

 So, modern psychology follows Skinner's notion that the idea of Man possessing a MIND is "a form of animism..." which serves no useful purpose in explaining present behavior.

Well, Skinner was absolutely wrong.  He simply did not possess the training [nor perhaps the Intuition] to enable him to conceive of a MIND "Within" Man that was invisible to the brain of Man. 

 This is a first step into an introduction to the Whole Human Being:

 I did this sketch many years ago to illustrate concepts that  words alone cannot really convey to a brain that cannot perceive what the words "stand for". The MIND does exist, but it is invisible to the brain.  We must Intuit aspects of it... if one's level of Enlightenment enables one to do this?

So, we have a beginning.  And not everyone will follow this process, but surely some will. And we must rely on those who have access to their faculty of Intuition.

What is ESOCHOLOGY ?

 Some years ago, when I was younger and thought I knew a lot about a number of things... I came up with the term "Esochology".  And I intended Esochology to  specifically refer to the  operations of the MIND and Spiritual dimensions "within" Man.  I used the Greek term Eso, which the Greeks used to refer to the invisible aspects of Man [the MIND and Spiritual dimensions], and their term "logia" which refers to a study of a given phenomenon... in this case, the MIND and the Spiritual dimensions of Man.

So, for me, the term Esochology refers to the study of  the MIND and Spiritual realms "Within" Man [both of which are invisible to the physical dimensions of Man];  and how they secretly operate to form what we can observe of a person's behavior, attitude, and beliefs?   The term for this "study" would be "esoteric".

[From Websters:  esoteric adj. 1.Intended for or understood by only a small group].

What enables a person to engage in such study would be a keen interest in the operations of the MIND and  Spiritual realms "within" Man... both of which are invisible to one's physical senses. Therefore, such an interest would coincide with what we might refer to as an "Enlightened" individual.  But what does the term "Enlightened" mean?  Well, for me it means something other than intellectually gifted, or what an IQ test might measure.  For me, Enlightened means an increased level of Consciousness [which I believe is the Energy of the Soul].

And how does one acquire an increase in Consciousness?  One does so by "converting bits of Karma into Consciousness [otherwise known as "Knowledge" or "Wisdom"], and how does one do this, you might wonder?  I believe it is accomplished by exercising two values:  That of Acceptance, and that of Forgiveness.  And to understand this, one must become aware of how we Souls "reclaim our Spirituality from the physical plane of existence".  And to understand this, one must comprehend how the Law of Karma works... and what its purpose is?

The seemingly natural desire of Man is to acquire phenomena... all kinds of phenomena of this physical plane of existence.  This is desire, and when it is fulfilled, one has just exchanged his or her own Spiritual Energy for ATTACHMENT TO SOMETHING IN THE CREATION.  In other words, everything in Creation can be acquired... if one is willing to meet the price?  And as far as "price" is concerned... hardly anyone is aware of the ACTUAL COST of one's Attachment ?

It is not money.  It is one's Spiritual Energy in the form of Attachment!  The more one is attached to things in the Creation, the more of one's Spiritual Energy must be diverted into acquiring what one desires!  And take a look around yourself, and look at what makes people happy?  And just how much are people ATTACHED to what they possess? Life in the Illusion is either-or.  And very few realize what the cost of attachment is!

 The Law of Karma states that every bit of one's Karma must be paid back before one can leave. But none of this is part of what we teach in the West.  And attachment is not what the brain thinks about. And all of this is part of what Esochology deals with.

ABOUT "PSYCHEDUCATION"... Or... [Education of the Psyche]] An idea created by James W. Patterson, PhD, in the 1980's.

 The reason I am doing this particular blog is to differentiate between my "Psycheducation," which was introduced in the 1980's, and  what is advertised today as "Psychoeducation".   Other than not having an "O" tacked onto the term Psychoeducation,  my term Psycheducation was a combining of the term "Psyche" by the Ancient Greeks (... which, for them, referred to the "Self, Soul, and MIND" "Within" Man). The ancient Greeks used the term "Psyche" to include  three  "Esoteric" aspects of the Whole Human Being.  Let us begin with two definitions from Webster's New Dictionary:

1.  Esoteric:  adj  1..Intended for or understood by only a small group. 2. Confidential; private.

2. psyche:  n. 1. The Soul or spirit as distinguished from the body. 2. The mind functioning as the center of thought, feeling, and behavior.  [Gk psukhe, breath, life, soul.]

My point? My primary point is that the Ancient Greeks differentiated between the physical person and the Esoteric [invisible] dimensions that exist and operate "Within" the whole human being. What is not usually emphasized in dictionaries is the fact that the Esoteric dimensions of Man consist of energies that are INVISIBLE to the brain and one's physical senses.  My sketch of this looks like this:

Note that #1 represents the physical realms of existence, and it includes the physical  brain. #2, #3, and #4 are all invisible to the brain and one's physical senses... except that one can experience one's emotions, which are caused by one's MIND realm [#2 and #3].   One's brain is also subject to receiving what I refer to as "Delusional Thinking" or "D-Think"...which are thoughts fed to one's brain by one's MIND which is the "Source of... or the psychological "causal" behind...  many  of one's thoughts, desires, habit patterns, and one's "feelings".

In other words, the MIND uses Delusional Thinking [or thoughts fed to one's brain] to cause one's brain to think about, react to, and engage in most of what one does and thinks.  And we tend to blame others for what we "THINK" causes us to react to life.  What is actually responsible is D-Think being fed to our brains by our MINDs.  And... what is behind all of this is what Mystics refer to as One's Fate Karma.  And each of us is born with a FATE KARMA that is based on various bits of Karma we created in in one or more of our many past lifetimes... and few people in the West believe in the Law of Karma, or in "Reincarnation," or the fact that one's Soul does not die when one's body dies, but is re-incarnated into another body in which to continue dealing with one's store of Karma.

In other words, my use of the term Psycheducation combined the Esoteric dimensions of Man and those parts of Man that the brain "thinks" it knows by simply knowing the names of these Esoteric elements of Man that are taught in education... which  (in the West in particular) is pretty much confined to what the brain can "THINK ABOUT".  The names of Esoteric elements [MIND, SELF, SOUL] do not tell us what these elements are!  Or how they work, or what to do about them?

In other words... there is a great deal more to the Reality of Psychology than what psychology today teaches or deals with!

In the early 1930's, many in the field of "Psychology" were intellectually [and quite likely without realizing it]... attempting  to confine the study of "psychology" to the brain, behavior, and thinking.

They created the idea:  Behavioral [physical phenomena] with the term psychology [a study of the Self, Soul, and MIND... all invisible to the physical brain] ... which created an oxy-moron: 

 ox-y-moron n,pl -mora . A rhetorical figure in which an epigrammatic effect is created by a paradoxical conjunction of terms

In other words, combining Psychology [a study of the Self, Soul, and MIND ] with the word Behavioral, which is entirely focused on the physical operations of Man... and thinking by use of one's brain... being fed subtle thoughts [or D-Think] by one's MIND.

That is,  I refer to modern psychology  as "BS&doR", which stands for "Behavioral Science and denial of Reality". Man is much more than what we can "think" about!  What is needed for such inquiry is  an advanced level of "Intuition"... a part of one's Consciousness.  Or, a person who is "Enlightened".

I will continue this discussion in an up-coming blog.  I hope you find this interesting?

a NOTE FOR EVERONE!

A New book I just received is this:

THE Calcium Lie II,

written by Robert Thompson, M.D. and Kathleen Barnes. 

If you suffer from any illness... get a hold of this book!

It is really an eye-opener! 

And, it may frighten some readers?  But it is important to read... if you are ill!

Is Education in America declining due to the denial of God and an over emphasis on Intellectualism and the Physical dimension of Man?

 In other words... what we can think about using our brains.... most often equals the Illusion of Life...

BECAUSE...

TRUTH IS AN HONEST VIEWING OF REALITY, WHICH IS THE  PART OF EXISTENCE THAT IS INVISIBLE TO THE PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF MAN.  THIS EARTH, FOR INSTANCE, IS A MOST ELABORATE ILLUSION...that Man "thinks" is real... and we believe this because what we have available to us for judging Reality and Illusion are our physical senses... [ which are all  composed of the energy of the Illusion]. We are not taught that three-quarters of Man are invisible to our physical senses!

 

 Number 1 in this sketch represents the physical dimension of Man. And that means that #2, #3, and #4 are all INVISIBLE to our physical senses.  What can perceive #2, #3, and #4 is a faculty of Man known as "Intuition"... which is an aspect of one's Soul.

In fact... Intuition is a part of one's "Consciousness" that is the natural result of one's Soul re-acquiring it's Spiritual Energy ... which has been used by one's MIND to create elements of Life for itself as part of the "purpose" of Life.  The "process" of "re-acquiring" one's Spiritual Energy is a "Mystical" process that is largely unknown in the West.   The principle parts of this re-aquiring process are covered by the terms FORGIVENESS AND ACCEPTANCE.   And the whole 'process" is called "Karma".  And Karma is the term that stands for the dissociated bits of Spiritual Energy that a Soul uses to experience and explore the Creation.  Alas, we are not taught about this "process" in the West.

A symbol of how man looks at the Creation might look like this:  

                Only one's Soul can "see" the "illusion"

 

 

 The thing is... the Creation is meant to be as it is.  It is Man that has forgotten who and what Man is?
