A favorite way to dismiss those of us who find transformative healing via what gets called "mental illness: they say we "romanticize" it... As though our process is a piece of cake and we know shit all about moving through such hell realms. They want to pretend that those of us who heal don't exist. One more cruelty. One more negation on a path in which all of society spits on us the whole way through to wholeness...
When separation and microaggressions are legitimized and put into public policy and discourse, we become second class citizens and subhumans. This is oppression and bigotry systemically supported and then denied by almost everyone, including those most seriously affected. We come to believe these lies. ...
Let us please open our eyes and help one another to see. Right now those in public and sanctioned positions to help us are actually harming us unintentionally. We must bring this to a stop. We must help one another. There is no motivation to heal without drugs if there are no safe places to do it. Right now it's not safe for most people most of the time. This alone will keep people from even attempting to do it or even realize or acknowledge it's possible. It's scary and the fear is justified and even rational given what we face. I am in a rare and privileged and lucky position and I still get frightened too. This is scary stuff. ...
So, funnily enough, I did go to a psychiatrist. Someone I met some years ago. He's in the mainstream and well-respected there because he knows how to float between worlds. He's awake. He and I talked about your work some years ago. He was familiar with it and respects it. He's one of the kindest human beings I've ever met. ...
If you've never seen the cops (or mental illness professionals) out of control for no good reason whatsoever you should watch this. This is how we get locked up and force drugged for no good reason. (video on site)
These are the status updates and tweets since my trip began in chronological order. I'm swamped and don't have time to do anything more formal. At some point I will because so much more is happening than what I'm able to share in these limited reflections. *** August 18. (while flying) The amount of stimulation among... Continue Reading →
Waking up and healing the body of autoimmune, chronic illness etcetera - are destructive processes that then require rebuilding of both body & psyche. Healing, as an act of both destruction and creation, requires Kali energy. I was not consciously aware of this when she first entered my life. ...
Open to see cartoon and then links to posts on shadow work.
What a healing diet looks like is going to be radically different for each person and is going to change a lot for individuals over time .. if one is healing there is no such thing as homeostasis, so it follows that your needs are going to change.
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...
