The Truth Perspective: The Myth of Symptoms: Why Most People Are Actually Mentally Ill

For many people the term mental health is synonymous with the absence of symptoms. With this outlook our mental health rests in positive emotion, our ability to cope, maintain emotional balance, and adjust to the world and society. Viewing mental health in such a way leaves little room for good or evil, high or low, or better or worse ways of adjusting, or of experiencing certain symptoms. So what would a psychology of value look like, and how mentally healthy are we when viewed through that psychology? These questions were the subject of Kazimierz Dabrowski's formidable intellect over the course of his entire career.

So join us today, on the Truth Perspective, as we use Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration to explore and add real depth to the concept of mental health, also utilizing insights gained from our discussions on the hypnotic power of the crowd, Paul and the Stoics, and experiments into the nature of consciousness, today we're taking a new look at what mental health really is for us in this crazy, upside-down world.

Why are people mentally ill? That's all I've read; just the title.

The single biggest factpr is you average (most) persons' inabilitly to 'handle the truth', to the point that they shut out real reality - which is harder than ever politely avoid, and so as to please their perceptions of their neighors/the crowd, the follow through with what they THINK everyone else thinis. (They have HUGE cognitive dissonance from 9/11/2001, because their souls know that the laws of physics did not get suspended that day, and that even with the criminally skimpy MSM coverage, they KNOW that the official story is a poorly told after-the-fact lie - which they yet believe that all their neighbords believe (though in their hears they do not) while the neighbors actually have the same, scaredy-cat view of 'reality.'

The perfect analogy (but with far less excuses now) is the Emperor's New Clothes. (Mark Twains writings, especcially in the Twentieth Century covered these facts wonderfully.)

Everyone KNOWS 9/11/01 was an inside job; but try bringing that up at your job at lunch and see what happens.

Folks are also overwhelmed and afraid from information (truthful) overload, so they turn to the comfort-food of the MSM.

Rowan Cocoan I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but Ron Unz makes the distinction that the “Inside Job” meme could be just more misdirection - it was primarily an Israel Job: [Link]

ultra I think we're singing semantics here. These days, a fake terror/false flag attack in any of the "I-FUKUS"*/NATO** Coalition controlled areas, (which means >90% of such 'terror' attacks), are all 'inside jobs' by the selfsame group of NWO/PTB/Deep StateS demons, who use those controlled governments snd agencies as their tools and arms to achieve their goals, in accord to their relatively consistently uniform plans, as detailed in the Protocols of Zion, the Georgia Stones, Agenda 21/NWO.

I think it is also safe to say that the ONLY place that an 'inside job' by that group, is presumed not allowed would be in Israel, as that Number 1 self-deceived nation seems to be held sacrosant and the lack of terror attacks there tends to prove that point.

Whoever those PTB Scum are, I am confident their primary 'capitals are London/NYC/somewhere in IsRealHell, plus Brussells and Paris as 'county seats'. I'm likewise fairly confident that there are plenty of 'Protestants' and Catholics' in that bad lot. I.e., it is NOT restricted to Jewish folks; rather, they are all uniformly, (and 'proudly') 'Zionists. Their key aims are as per the above lists, many of which have already passed, such as plus the WWI agreement to establish Isreael, (forgetting name; "zorg/biog .. Kellogg (Corn Flakes)?/Briand? pact?named for UK and French Ambassadors' names. Was first released by Red Russia after win over White Russians and withdrawal from WWI.); et al.

* I like that....

** Why TF is Columbia, a Southern Hemisphere country, in the NORTH Atlantic Treaty Organization? Nevermind; ask those same assh*les I referenced above.

*** Re singing/ 'preaching'?... to the quoir, I think we (SOTTites) 're all mostly singing the same tune, in the same meter and key, (save some NON-SOTTites who are off meter and screeching way ot of key; but mostly we're sharing valid 'intel' in 500? part harmonies, all seeking truth, and hoping to share truth, so that the tiny voice of 'hope' will be heard by more folks, and she'll also get/stay out of Pandora's Box, which the malevolent PTB is determined to lock her back into.

I think many people were traumatized by the events on that day. I remember it clearly, and I remember thinking to myself "This is not a surprise," while many others couldn't conceive of this type of attack. I learned years earlier that most countries experience terrorism or similar on the regular. It also made sense to me that they would attack the Twin Towers, though only after I knew what was there. My trauma from it was knowing my Dad was in NY state, and not knowing if he was okay for a few hours. And later, I went to a shrink because I'd become convinced that there was something wrong with me because I wasn't upset about it.

Now I understand all these things even more clearly, and my only surprise is that it hasn't happened again, because the TSA is theater and if someone wanted to, they probably could get past them without too much trouble. In fact, in security audits, officials have gotten past TSA with weapons and fake bombs on numerous occasions. The only thing the TSA is good at is harassing weary travelers, nursing mothers, and people in wheelchairs.

Why does this program contain multiple instances where the cited examples of psychological realities are something that you saw or heard, OR THOUGHT you saw or heard, IN A MOVIE ??? And not documentaries, but fictional movies!!! What makes it hilarious is that the broadcasters present this "evidence" as profound truth. Mental illness indeed.

hkoehli · 2019-01-06T16:23:24Z

climatechangeisreal I should have been clear that the example from Mindhunters was based on a true story about a real serial killer, even the scene I mentioned. I assumed it would be obvious that while from a fictional story, this was an accurate representation of the psychopathic mentality. Guess not. As for Sophie Scholl, that was a true story. I just said I liked a scene in the movie.

Two big thumbs up on your presentation! I very much enjoyed listening!

lsjarvi Thanks, Isjarvi. Glad you liked it.

Why Most People Are Actually Mentally Ill ??

Don't drink TAP WATER... Sodium Fluoride (Rat Poison), Lithium & even Valium, are added to your drinking water ...

hkoehli · 2019-01-07T16:04:04Z

Mr Reynard Good advice, but I'm afraid there's more to it than that. 100 years ago, most people were mentally ill. Same with 200 years ago, and 500 years ago, and 1000 years ago... It's the human condition.

klokman · 2019-01-11T18:28:56Z

A good study of Thomas Szasz's, The Myth of Mental Illness will set the rational mind straight. One should start with a sound definition of what is "mental."

KristiB · 2019-01-12T08:54:05Z

Logic and reason. equality and fairness. nurturing and strong healthy guidance PRODUCE healthy strong Individuals. Not warped and/or self serving logic, nepotism and privilege, sadism and indoctrination. "It's simple stupid"... Not Rocket Surgery!
