Mental
Health
The mind is deceit and treachery contained
within its own delusions and illusions. Our
mind is both our best friend and our
greatest adversary.
The science of psychology as we are familiar
with is only about a hundred
years old. Historically it was always
understood by many that our mind and
our spirit was not something separate but a
composite. The modern view
that disregarded this fact, has led down a
path of promise that proved futile
until very recently. Eventually it was
discovered by some that without this
connection there can never be any real
healing accomplished utilizing the
mind alone.
Concepts, how we perceive things,
overlooking information that is right in
front of us and how we are deceived by the
way we are conditioned might
be illustrated with this brief example, the
authorship is unknown.
Please do not cheat. Read the following as
you normally would. There are
no tricks or deceptions for this test.
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
Count aloud the "F s" in this
sentence. Count them Only Once. Do not go
back and recount, now Scroll Down.
There are Six F s in the sentence. The
average person will find Three.
Four is above average. Five is very
perceptive. If you got all Six you might not
be fully utilizing all your abilities.
The failure to pay attention to details may
very well be the single most
contributing factor in all accidents. The
demands in today's world upon the
human mind pushes the capacity requirements
of the human far beyond the limits placed
upon it ever before. The sheer volume of
information overload and stimulations
encountered on a daily basis is staggering.
The insidious part of our daily environment
and tasks we encounter is all seen as
perfectly normal, today is far from normal.
The experience of driving a car across
Dallas could easily compress an equivalent
sensory input and
stress of driving a covered wagon across the
unsettled wild west for a year. A week of
television could imprint as much visual and
emotional
information as an entire lifetime of only a
few decades ago.
The typical scenario of analysis is
dissecting ones past in order to discover a
cause for the problem, to find a villain to
blame and to then apply a forgiveness
placebo. In the real world any solution
derived in this manner hardly ever produces
a permanent fix. Several problems occur with
this traditional approach, most all deep
problems are formed in childhood, the
child's perceptions and perspectives are not
exact, the scenario is out of proportion,
much of the scenario is mixed with the
child's fantasy and various emotional
terrors which have little to do with the
actualized reality. The instigator of most
childhood adversarial encounters is the
child themselves, the parent in most cases
is only reactionary; so who is to blame. The
forgiveness illusion fails because it
affords no satisfaction, in most cases the
adult/child still wants the childish
revenge, vendetta, pound of flesh or even to
kill the offending parent.
The paradox created by any physical/mental
trauma carried from childhood to adulthood
becomes an insoluble problem because there
can never be an adequate resolution. Once
any action takes place it simply cannot be
undone. Mentally all the conditions can
become understood, the blame assigned and
even forgiven but the event still happened.
The only true healing begins with the
realization that the anguish and hurt
is based completely in the Will, the person
chooses to use their will in an
attempt to change, alter or eliminate a past
event that cannot be changed.
The only option anyone has is to fully
realize the futility of their willful
consciousness and completely release it, as
long as it is exercised it
retains complete authority and power over
them.
If the event in the past is not released,
its power to hurt and control me follows
eternally.
