Psychiatry (fueled by western culture) systematically eliminates us so that we cannot contribute to humanity

The capitalistically oriented "healers" and "spiritual" teachers are the pharisees/charlatans of our time. The real shaman/medicine people are being systematically wiped out/disabled by psychiatry. We don't have mentors because our kind have been wiped out for generations now. (think of witch hunts, for example, before psychiatry) There is no one left to recognize us as children...

Pain

Owning my pain. Once its owned it loses its power. Pain is a neutral sensation. It is impersonal and part of being in a body. Pain is not only a neutral sensation but when experienced as such, in clarity, it offers pure data. Wordless info that only the body can convey. ...

What passes for health are a variety of degrees of anesthesia

We live in a society that has a hard time with idiosyncrasies and differences; that doesn't recognize the uniqueness of each individual predicament. This turns the experience of life as a struggle into an anomaly when in reality, I think life is a struggle for everyone. People differ in as much as they successfully or unsuccessfully construct shields that make that struggle unconscious. But no one can really embrace life without seeing how much pain it contains. So what passes for health are a variety of degrees of anesthesia. ...

Becoming conscious is risky business

When people are sensitive and they get labeled mentally ill...the force of all of society believing it's an illness is projected onto us...If we don't come to understand the actual toxic force of this it will kill us. That is the tragic truth. And it's no small thing to do that. When all of society projects the belief that ugly, intractable uncontrollable forces are making us sick...well, no surprise...we get sick...

Somatic imperative with Chris Cole: Waking Up Bipolar Podcast

Over the years now I've been interviewed on radio and podcasts a number of times. I've had fun every time. This interview with Chris Cole, though, I believe is my favorite so far and that's because he went straight to what is most important to me at this time in my work. That is the... Continue Reading →

New study: stopping psych meds is difficult, but most “satisfied with choice”

"Despite numerous obstacles and severe withdrawal effects, long-term users of psychiatric medications can stop taking them if they choose. Individuals who discontinue report that self-care and social support help, but mental health professionals could be more helpful." ...

Happiness coexists with despair

The wise ageless one within. It's there...aching to emerge. *** Happiness can coexist with despair. It really can. We need to stop having such narrow view of what happiness is. Being human is a rough ride, when we can embrace the despair the happiness is a byproduct. The clearer we get, the more this sort of thing occurs. When we are clear we can feel anything on the emotional spectrum and it flows straight through...we get stuck in some of this stuff before we get clear because we've never been allowed to be who and what we are.

Psychiatric Drugs Cause Harm — #WorldBenzoDay

This is the video I did last year for this day. Help raise awareness and please share it and other information about benzodiazepines today.  Visit: --  World Benzodiazepine Day: Change through Unity  (Facebook page) -- Recently I wrote another post about what it was like when the illness incurred by the drugs was at its worst: When medicine and doctors almost kill you…  Because, yeah, I was on death's door for a long, long time. It can still feel traumatic to really think about that time. I do hope we can help others avoid such a fate. ...

Heavy metal, gut bugs, the brain and profound healing

I'm doing heavy metal detox...intense. Rarely mention it because people don't understand how insane it is. I can feel metal leaving my brain. Metal hangs out in biofilms  with infectious agents...as this comes out so does decades & lifetimes--via ancestral lineage -- of emotional crap. Virtually no support during this process, really...not that I've found... Continue Reading →
