The many mysteries of the metaphysics pertaining to a humans existence and the many myths that have arisen over time. The fables we have fallen back on, for solace and a way to belong. Which alas has evolved into categorization of the self, a need to box and label the conscious, so our ego can adhere to societal norms. A persons conscious actions of the ego, are moments in time not fixed states per se. However, many practitioners only know how to dissect a fixed state of an individual.
So may in fact keep a patient locked in that moment. In a state of clinicality until they die, dependent on mental health provision.
The ways we cannot digest society become subtle self expressions, however we generally have to belong to the society to survive. Modern day psychology and a weird system of understanding the self aka the DSM as a means for global truth regarding the psyche. The diagnostic manual that is in effect quite culture bound, and also directs many to constant psychiatric drug use. Potentially due to a bias in subject pools to define the manual and also a disconnect from either socio-economic or cultural input. All human behavior in this day and age is bizarre. Yet when there is no way to ground in a shared reality, then yet our psyche does become clinical.
Yet we can be over-clinical in how we dissect the psyche. In a way unwilling to accept growth, development, world view in the process.
Ah the realm of daily dosing of tranquilizers and mood stabilizers half the country seem to accept as a social norm. The uppers, downers, tools for introversion and extroversion. As many people seem to be able to bridge over a drug than say accept themselves as they are. Or self reflect in a constructive manner, as there are in effect so many external distractions from the self reflective journey.
It is becoming harder and harder for people to stop without stimuli and be.
And in some ways it is more socially acceptable to drug thyself to function, than be educated in and face the many reasons a person may in fact not want to function.
Then there are the pollutants created by all the pharmaceutical medicines, so much so the rare platypus populations are constantly on anti-depressants. A drugs half life as a term in pharmacology versus the chemical components of that drugs half-life in the field of hydrochemistry. The bodies metabolic process which varies significantly person to person versus natures.
Which varies place to place.
So again education we know needs to change at the juvenile level, yet never does, the gut – brain connection.
The empowerment of a person to know how to take care of themselves, the holistic complexities of human existence would be of great benefit, rather than a system that enables an ongoing dependency on public mental health provision, yet the latter somehow also profits certain companies who manufacture legal drugs.
So statistically speaking, you shall most likely be prescribed an upper or a downer or something to numb at least once in your life. Without the prescriber caring what metaphysical work may be required for you to heal. Your health is always your own responsibility.
Yet we live in a society that requires x amount of dependency for people to remain in one place long enough to create community together.
You may have never been taught more than the basics, but you shall always have access to “meds” in this society.
Many meds that may in effect not be necessary for human survival yet, are an industry and a distraction from collective evolution.
See not to numb is to own that the realm of myth is in effect what makes us human, that is, different to the many other conscious species on this earth. As we are the only known species to create a mythic consciousness for human intelligence to be passed down generation to generation.
We all have a right hand lens to “little prince” the propaganda of our society, see beyond the veil of what media makes us complacent.
Alas we can have comfort and can be drugged to complacency.
If you choose to accept how unique you are, and not be tranquilized into conformity.
Choose the correct food for your unique stomach, and exercise and clarity.
You may see that “intelligence” does not direct many of societies trajectories, and has not for quite some time. That small pieces of knowledge have been contained in literature and film for generations now, with the same small warning signs of what humans within each generation are not ok with.
But continue to persist.
Then become aware to this larger trajectory of society and have to feel the things that make an individual want to numb or act out.
Disempowerment.
Or sit with the feeling.
Eat the broccoli. Drink some herb tea.
Find some small acts to repeat on the regular that do in fact empower you.
