I have no beef to grind with psychiatry. It's not psychiatry per se that's been at the helm of all the wrong turns, erroneous treatments, suffering and misguided attempts at *helping* people suffering with mental illness, but the industry that's been churning out these *professional medicine men* for decades by the thousands.
Wanted to give a shout out to all of you out there, you know, you *professional medicine men (and women) who have studied voraciously via textbook the classics, did your rounds and internships, learning by way of cadaver and chalkboards that you've missed the mark. Entirely. From A to Z and all the codes in between.
You've missed the mark entirely because you cannot heal a soul without taking the soul into consideration. You can't medicate a body and heal a soul. You can't take on the distant, professional stance and hope to heal anyone or anything. You have to get up and personal and empathic to make an indent. No a drug is not going to heal anyone. It will take the symptoms away - for a while, but that soul still needs attention and correction with humanity and consistency with the aid of a higher power. You cannot call yourself god, because there is only one God who created all souls and through that channel we must go to heal. It's correction through self-inquiry to establish self awareness and from that stance of self-awareness to move into the healing of the dynamics of relationship from self to other to God. It's the triad from which all receptors and neurotransmitters operate. Faulty receiving from faulty mirroring needs to be corrected with positive mirroring.
But they don't teach you that in medical school. It's a pretty horrific state of affairs that the very person you go to, to heal you, reinforces the original traumas, then utilizes the stance of *professionalism* to create a safety valve for themselves with a guidebook filled to the brim with symptomology and guesses on how those symptoms can be alleviated with the use of substances. A substance for every symptoms and a *therapy* for every malady. When all we ever needed really was a true medicine man/woman who knew about polarities, frequencies and the essence of the soul and how to mediate between science and spirit.
Looking forward to the day and age when disorders will be viewed as a puzzle with parts that can be re-arranged with the modalities offered to humans via nature, music, frequencies, color and sensibility. Where symptoms are viewed as a wrong turn, and the correction is found and applied in holistic ways - for the body too has its language and it speaks volumes. It needs to be heard and expressed and then re-taught how to be in this world.
