Misunderstood? We all have a different way to view the world.

We used to have rigid categories in which to place people, the category of religion, for example. Once you are in a category, people will know that you basically think a certain way. The explosion of mental health problems that have risen to the surface, then, is in large part a natural fall out of the fact that people are being lifted up out of their religious category. In days gone by a person of a particular faith or creed would never, ever, venture into a religious setting of anyone from another faith or creed. You wouldn't, for example, see a catholic in a mosque. Whilst there are still people like that, who are very fixed in their ways, they are also realising that it is not healthy to be so rigid. Today, then, we find people mixing it up, so to speak. They might try a bit of this and a bit of that. This is what creates tremendous confusion. I for one, as a computer scientist was well confused when I first went to Glastonbury and started hearing about archangel Michael and the ascended masters and 'Thoth, the architect of the universe' and all this stuff. The confusion was intense, but all that had really happened is I had ventured into a different context and when people have the stamina to do that, they will come out the other side. It is important for our health to embrace different contexts. So, making the effort to understand each other is not easy, but it is progressive, but once we do understand each other better, it is a great vista. I don't think anyone is like, inherently bad. We just get ourselves into collective situations, which we are all part of, where bad things happen. So, it just makes me wonder. Let's say we took Einstein out of his context, his context being that he was surrounded by very highly intelligent physicists who understood him, what he was saying and where he was coming from. They respected and listened to him and he was seen as perfectly sane and we know from the fact that his theories still stand that he must have known what he was on about. Well, if you took Einstein completely out of his context and anonymised him so that no-one knew who he was and then psych analysed him by asking him what he thought about things, then it's not going to be too clear to people who don't understand him or others like him whether he is a nutter or not. My question, then becomes, when we switch and change the contexts of our lives, whether, sometimes what might be seen as a bit nutty by someone is just the fact that one person or set of people don't understand another. Madness, then, doesn't exist in any way shape or form. We are all perfectly sane, where the problem comes in is when one person or group of people don't understand the other, the easy way out is to say, I don't understand him/her, so I'm going to have to say, they have a mental condition. That's not a criticism, I am just saying that that is the way it works. The more accurate way of describing the situation of mental health diagnosis would be to say, I don't understand him/her and most probably, she doesn't understand me/us, so I am going to have to say that a mental health condition exists between us. There is an arrogance that the educated know best when actual reality and I have been one of the educated and managed to escape, the reality is, they are educated fools and suffer the delusion that they are better or higher than another because they have some information in their brain. Cerebral promotion is very different to actual promotion. In life, if you go up one ladder, you go down another, so if you go up the education ladder, you are most probably going down the common sense one, for example. So, as we get about more, and change our environs regularly as we seek to understand each other, these conditions of misunderstanding rise up more and more. Before we have knee jerk reactions about things based on our programming, we ought to look a little deeper into things before we condemn them as being of the devil or whatever, because all I know is that when one tribe was fighting another, the other tribe was always of the devil. The devil is a concept which only exists in the mind of children. There is no Mr Sane everyone has the right to their opinion and it is a symptom of the illness when people insist that their particular faith or creed is the only one worth following. If everyone does that, insist that their creed is the right and just one in unwavering inflexibility, is it any wonder we end up in hell? If God does it all, then, he does it ALL. He doesn't do one bit and not another. A lot of our predecessors didn't want us, our modern generations running off scot free with all the loot, so books were written to deliberately fuck with our heads in the most

visceral way possible. In other words, these books appeal to people's emotions and emotions are not the best thing to be subsumed by if you want a lucid mind. Dream on brothers while you can.
