Psychedelic Insight and The Boundary of Delusion

You can't delude yourself if you document your changes in thought

Don’t go running off a cliff, or in particular the cliff of delusion.

You want to document every change in you and your beliefs, like a scientist or someone who writes a journal (not exactly a journalist now is it).

Now, I’m familiar with delusion, as a christian I believe that God (All) is Love (Pleasure). I’ve met with psychiatrists who delusionally believe someone is ill and requires treatment based on a slight misunderstanding of the facts. For example, in Russia they diagnose you with schizophrenia if you’re a political dissenter. You cannot politically dissent or you will be forcefully medicated into a vegetable state. Be wary of this. Notice that psychiatry is mostly work taken up by foreigners who have moved into the country. Now they are working on a different culture, in a different language, so when I met with 2 psychiatrists, they actually spoke in a different language to confirm something they couldn’t understand without translating back into their language. Coming to the West to cure us of mental illness is virtue signalling. We in the psyche ward call it mental health, not mental illness. You can only be healthy, or more healthy. Being a mischievous rascal is the norm, anything else is better. In a world of pagans who believe in doing what they want rather than what they’re told or what they traditionally believe.

I have researched extensively to create a list of myths surrounding A: Cannabis, and B: Schizophrenia. As it is a longtime myth that cannabis will give you schizophrenia and that this is a bad thing. Yes you can hallucinate and break from reality on cannabis, and yes repeating that is adequate grounds for calling you a schizophrenic.

But here, haven’t I convinced you that Russia is in the wrong for diagnosing their dissenters as ill?

So maybe the west, being stuck on an insanity plea have been forced to keep the status quo in order. Schizophrenics are apparently insane. The insane are schizophrenic. It’s the same thing. But how do we define it in the west as separate from Russia?

(Thought Disorder:) Some patients may invent neologisms (new words), exhibit verbal stereotypy (repetition of a single word or phrase out of context), or use metonyms (ordinary words given a special personal meaning).

Thought blocking Involves a sudden interruption of the train of thought, before it is completed, leaving a ‘blank’. The patient suddenly stops talking and cannot recall what he has been saying or thinking. (mine: this is it's own classification: dementia not schizophrenia)

A delusion is a fixed, false personal belief held with absolute conviction despite all evidence to the contrary. (mine: so who decides what is false or fact, the truth cannot be measured even with a majority of opinions)

The idea or belief held is demonstrably false and not usually held by persons from the same subculture. (mine: so uniqueness or niche thought is targetted)

They may develop unusual interests, particularly of a religious or philosophical kind, and drift away from family and friends

Eventually, even without treatment, the acute symptoms of schizophrenia usually resolve. (mine: so it's a misnomer then; not an issue.)

Poverty of speech Restriction in the amount of spontaneous speech. (mine: so being hesitant to tell those who are judging you what you're thinking is also a symptom? Don't they realise objects dry out under the microscope.)

Flattening of affect Restriction in the experience and expression of emotion. (mine: so being stoic is a symptom, as well as disordered mood. How can being more emotional and less emotional at the same time both be symptoms)

It is often difficult to differentiate between the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and the symptoms of a depressive illness.

Schizophrenia, however, differs from disorders such as ischemic heart disease in that we do not understand the pathogenic mechanisms linking the risk factors to the illness, i.e. we do not understand how the causes ‘cause’ schizophrenia. (mine: it's defined as a psychological illness, not a neuropathogenic illness, as said earlier in the text)

Various models of genetic transmission of schizophrenia have been considered but found not to fit the data.

Schizophrenia is more common among those born in the late winter and early spring. (mine: so astrology?)

Psychedelics as promoted by the ‘schizophrenic’ McKenna are allegedly boundary dissolvers. It dissolves boundaries between concepts, and with that reality, imagination and hallucination. Dissolving boundaries would mean that it would be really really hard to tell what parts of what you’re seeing is a hallucination. I mean, it’s a true hallucination, in that you think it’s more real than reality. And those that become delusional believe it truly is that way.

This is also how Alex Grey showed examples of habituated bad thought in performing necrophilia. Psychedelics are not boundary dissolvers. The mind is a boundary dissolver, it’s just that psychedelics potentiate the mind. When you’re hallucinating, you can just assume that it’s exactly that, a hallucination, a figment of your imagination, for anything and everything that is different between reality (this time meaning sobriety) and the ‘hallucination’ (or drug induced state). I mean that’s easy peasy. Rational Psychonaut would encourage this view, but Druids, Pagans, Gnostics, Buddhists, and so on would have much different views. Just as a Christian will meet God on their trips. Psychedelic hallucinations are not examples of your ego dissolving. Ego death is not the way. Thought is the way.

Your ego is best kept healthy. Looking after yourself. Being an adult. Cleaning up. Leaving the place better than you found it. Cooking meals. Raising children.

Thinking you are God is not necessarily narcissism. In fact I pose that it is the exact opposite. God (All) is Love (Pleasure). God is All. Love is to take pleasure in. You and I are needed for God to be God, or He couldn’t be All. Being God means loving your neighbour as yourself. Listen to the ‘schizophrenics’ on Skid Row, they endanger themselves by being too generous to the people around them. They have an unhealthy ego of forgetting to feed yourself first. Like you put your face mask on first in the plane, you feed yourself first metaphorically or you wouldn’t have the energy to give.

If inner peace is just remembering peaceful thoughts, and if this thought brings you peace, then just remember this.
