Comment on Ought We to Cure Schizophrenia? - by Jason Ratcliff

Kevin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 17:51:31 GMT

I see a cure from schizophrenia to be a transformation of the human spirit that can be summarized with one word: control. The problem with schizophrenia is the delusions control the person, and not the person controlling the delusions. It's like imagination has run amok, and there's no reigning it in. I'm tempted to say that schizophrenia may just be right brain thinking taken to an extreme. So, when I envision a cure for schizophrenia, I envision an empowered human being who, still endowed with the human spirit of "free will", can thus choose to do what he will. If you want to be a slob for a month, go for it, see how it affects your writing and creativity, or even your ability to comprehend complex ideas (Shrodinger's Equation?, Mass energy equivalence?). A cure from schizophrenia is to grant freedom to the individual, and how can that be a bad thing?

Comment on Becoming Super-Human through Toxin Elimination and Nutrition

This is something that has always fascinated me, we are a product of our environment, there is so much potential in our bodies that is held back by our toxic environment and largely uneventful lifestyles (people sitting watching tv all day and night).

I like your distinctions between the different types of marijuana. I doubt the telekinetic abilities, i would just focus on the relaxation instead.

It is not the drug that makes the addict, but rather the negative relationship a person has with a particular drug or drugs. People can become addicted to marijuana just as they can to any other psychoactive drug. Treatment for their addiction should be available to these people-all drugs rehabs should have a Marijuana treatment section. However, the fact remains that marijuana, like many other psychoactive drugs, does have medical value: the fact that some people may have an addiction problem should not prevent others from benefiting from its therapeutic potential. Studies have found opioids to be effective pain management agents, with an addiction rate of less that 1% in hospitalized patients treated for their pain.

In this case marijuana might help indeed, after all it is know it can be a great medicinal plant if used in medical purpose. I have a friend though, who started by smoking weed and became a heavy drug addict in just one year. He even wanted me to try some too but i have refused him, i know how dangerous drugs can be and how easily your life can be destroyed by them. I talked to him numerous times, i wanted him to get help, but he always used to ignore me, saying that he knows exactly what he is doing and that he could stop anytime he would want. Although his addiction is cured now, he struggled really hard to get to this point. When he couldn't lie to himself anymore, he got on a drug rehab center on his own will, but at that time he had already lost four years of his life.

Entering a theta state whether asleep or awake during Theta Healing will allow others to probe deeper into your unconscious thought.

This is some really interesting information. I see daily the hypnotic nature of publicity on TV and on the radio. How do we fight its influence? I've used hypnosis for positive therapeutic purposes in the past, and I self-hypnose regularly when I have problems sleeping. Thanks for this post!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on how to exercise our mind. This answer all my questions because if you would ask me, I am experiencing depression and mind pollution. Actually, my mind needs some relaxation, and this is the tip.

Well Hakeem, you've blown me away again!!! Thanks so much for sharing this with me. I am not familiar with Pranayama Yoga. I did practice Kria Yoga when I studied with Self Realization Fellowship, although I haven't practiced the techniques in quite some time. I welcome this article and the opportunity to try it. I used to have terrific breathing techniques as a SRF member, woodwind musician and power lifter. I remember coming out of surgery one time and the nurses said "where did you learn to breathe? All we did was say BREATHE and you automatically started in-and-out from the diaphragm slowly and evenly". Your visualization analogies will be very helpful to me as I am JUST STARTING OVER from scratch again. What is Capoeira? I gathered it was some form of self defense. I have been so out of touch with exercise, that the term Pilate's is familiar, but I don't know techniques. I am just going to start with stretching, as I am very out of shape and over weight. I will also be doing "toothpaste and slinkies". I just recently got in touch with my chakras (sorry for all the mis-spelling) and focus on the spiritual eye and medulla oblagata.

Again, I must thank you for inspiration. You are so kind to share this with me. I appreciate you!!! Thanks for remembering me.

Huggies, *Bonnie
