With so many abberant and crazy behaviors today, both in the mainstream and the so-called conscious community, it can be difficult for some of us to determine what is normal and what is abnormal. From the white house to the grass roots organizations, we all have some level of dysfunctional behavior. A bigger problem arises when we don't know we have issues that need to be worked on. Similar to a person in left field, yet totally unaware of it or to that of a drug addict or crack head, yet in denial. Ever been around someone like this or could it be you?
This is a dangerous state. Many people with these characteristics feel very righteous and unyielding about their thoughts, actions and what they espouse to others. Often, these people become extremely angry, offensive and on the attack when someone questions or challenges them. Their reactions can be very strange and bizzare, yet conducted in a professional like manner. Sometimes confusing the hell out of their observers.
Instead of taking the challenges or questions constructively, they personalize it and become offended. No matter what the issue or another person's response, their thought pattern does not deter. This is the ego re-acting to whatever is in their mind at the time. This type of person could be chemically imbalanced, culturally imbalanced or just plain very western in their thought patterns, often creating stories that have no validity as well as all the people we have found living on the Sun. Yes, it can get that crazy.
To help us recognize and ACKNOWLEDGE these behaviors first within ourselves, and then in others, we can read the literature below, which was sent to us by Tim Neal, an avid researcher and disseminator of truth, currently living in the Far East. With this information comes responsibility.
It is not intended to just read it, go to sleep and behave as though everything in our past occurred in another life. It is meant for us to take action, use it and help others while helping to increase the quality of our lives. To grow mentally, physically and spiritually is to truly live. To grope around in darkness without ever being challenged or knowing it, is to live on the level beneath our greatest potential. |
My major in college was Psychology and one of the types of disorders that we studied was Schizotypal Personality Disorder which seems to be prevalent amongst a certain faction of the "conscious" community:
A pervasive pattern of interpersonal deficits, cognitive or perceptual distortions, and eccentricities of behavior, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
-
unusual perceptual illusions, including bodily illusions
-
odd thinking and speech
-
suspiciousness or paranoid ideation
-
inappropriate or constricted affect
-
behavior or appearance that is odd, eccentric, or peculiar
-
lack of close friends and confidants other than first degree relatives
-
excessive social anxiety that does not diminish with familiarity and tends to be associated with paranoid fears rather than negative judgements about self
