Naturen har travlt med at skabe absolut unikke individer, hvorimod kultur har opfundet en støbeform hvori alle skal passe ned i. ~ U.G. Krishnamurti
"Der er kulturelle myter der er nemme at komme udenom. Folk aflurer dem hurtigt. Men de triuferende kerne myter er hårdere. Meget hårdere. De fleste folk modstår selv at diskutere dem. I gamle dage torturerede og brændte kirken folk der diskuterede dem. Nu, er det social udelukkelse. Nu, er det i nogle tilfælde staten der kidnapper børn, for at sende et budskab." The Underground, Jon Rappoport)Siden ingen af de 300 oficielle psykiske sygdomme har nogle definerende fysiske tests for en diagnose, er der ingen bevis for de eksisterer. Punktum..
Du kunne interview tusindvis af folk der fortæller at de er deprimerede, og du vil finde nævneværdige forskelle. Desto mere du lytter til deres historier, jo mere bliver du overbevist om forskellene.
Du ville splitte den centrale ide om 'depression' og indse at den ikke har noget fælles kerne.
Dette er hårdt for mange folk at tro på. Så hjernevaskede er de.
Der er ingen fælles universel bevidstheds tilstand. Det er alt sammen unikt, fra person til person.
Ligesom der ikke er nogen enlig oplyst bevidstheds tilstand, der er den samme for alle, er der ikke nogen mentale lidelses tilstande der er den samme for alle.
Hold for øje at en dominant myte bør være magtfuld. Den burde suge flertallet af befolkningen til sig. Den formodes at være overbevisende. Den formodes at være "intuitiv". "Psykiske sygdomme" er den slags myte. Den appelerer til folk. De kan lide den. De gør honør til den- De falder for den.
En dominant myte formodes at være inkluderende, på den måde at folk føler sig fortabt uden den. De kan ikke se forbi den. De føler sig utilpasse uden den.
Lige siden Pavlov og Freud, har ideen om "Psykiske syge tilstande" været i vækst. Den har i psykiatrien opnået kodificering. Det er her at den virkelig bliver magtfuld. Pseudo-videnskabeligt vrøvl. 300 mentale psykiske sygdomme. Og en hær af medicinske specialister der er klar til at diagnosticere og give dem stoffer.
I årtier har psykiatere påstået at psykiske sygdomme, ved roden, er kemiske ubalancer i hjernen.
Dr. Ronald Pies, chef redaktør eremitus på Psychiatric Times, lagde teorien til hvile 11. Juli, 2011, i Psychiatry's New Brain-Mind and the Legend of the "Chemical Imbalance" (betalings link) — med denne forbløffende indrømmelse:
"I virkeligheden har ideen om 'kemisk ubalance' altid været en vandrehistorie - og har aldrig været en teori som velinformerde psykiatere har bakket op om."

Researchers had never established a normal baseline for chemical balance. So they were shooting in the dark. Worse, they were faking a theory. Pretending they knew something when they didn't.
In his 2011 piece in Psychiatric Times, Dr. Pies tries to cover for his colleagues in the psychiatric profession with this fatuous remark:
"In the past 30 years, I don't believe I have ever heard a knowledgeable, well-trained psychiatrist make such a preposterous claim [about chemical imbalance in the brain], except perhaps to mock it...the 'chemical imbalance' image has been vigorously promoted by some pharmaceutical companies, often to the detriment of our patients' understanding."Absurd. First of all, many psychiatrists have explained and do explain to their patients that the drugs are there to correct a chemical imbalance.
And second, if well-trained psychiatrists have known, all along, that the chemical-imbalance theory is a fraud...
...then why on earth have they been prescribing tons of drugs to their patients...
...since those drugs are developed on the false premise that they correct an imbalance?
No matter which way you look at it, the concept of distinct mental disorders is fatally flawed.
But the myth survives. It lives on.
Earth culture wants it and needs it. Earth culture is all about constructing a deep core of victimhood that reaches down into every individual and defines and limits him, in the same way that Original Sin and attendant Guilt imposes limits on a so-called spiritual level.
These myths obscure truly dynamic and creative consciousness, which shapes and invents reality.
The pseudoscience of psychiatry is, on the whole, an attempt to block knowledge of the power of individual creative-force.
The mindless acceptance of psychiatry as a branch of medicine gives it the imprimatur of authority.
Myths impose standards of behavior and thought. Then they confirm their validity by observing that people (when imposed upon and coerced) do, in fact, behave and think in accordance with the myth. It's a closed loop.
If leaders proposed, recommended, and demanded that people see with only one eye, the leaders would eventually go on to observe that people do, in fact, use only one eye.
Obviously, those who insisted on looking at the world with two eyes would be called heretics, or mentally ill. They would be called fantasists who believed in the existence of "another eye."
And because conformity is the basis for sustaining all myths, sooner or later the population (most of it) would agree that a second eye was impossible.
In exactly the same way, the idea of consciousness which is intensely creative is viewed as a false fantasy.
You can rearrange deck chairs for as long as you want to, but until and unless individual creative consciousness is restored, there will always be a huge, stark, missing gap in any effort to establish social progress.
Yesterday's victims will be tomorrow's leaders, and then the roles will reverse again, and so on and so forth. But the cure will never be found.
One myth after another will substitute for the cure.
Taking the long, long, long view, psychiatry is merely a blip on the screen of history—a moment of insanity which attempted to prolong its existence by establishing a monopoly on what constituted sanity and insanity.
