Dear Rawn, You are right. There was one woman that did treat her patients as a whole with constant around the clock care. She died about a year ago which is unfortunate. She would invite many schizophrenic people into her home and have them live with her so she could give them constant care. I can't remember what her belief was concerning medication though. To the shock of the psychiatric community, she actually had quite a bit of success. It is amazing considering she was dealing with multiple patients at a time in her "halfway house." >From what I have noticed with watching some of the people in this strange town that I live in is that they seem to be separated. The best analogy for this is when I used to correct my parents television picture when it would get out of alignment. All over the large screen were these "X" shaped figures. The "X" figures were made up of 3 colours; green, red, and blue. If they were in alignment the colours would coincide to make white. Sometimes they would be more aligned than at other times. One of my friends that I used to walk with a lot would have this strange separation. The mental matrix would loosen and would retreat elsewhere; dissociate is maybe a better word. It just seemed that her mind was sinking back in her head around the baricenter, if that makes any sense. Every time I noticed this I would clap my hands and it would come back. It just seems like there is this strange tension or anxiety brought on by some sort of trauma or the physiological nuances of the fight or flight aspects of the nervous system that are effecting everything else and throwing things off balance. I guess this is why I enjoy relaxing and having conversations with others because when I am relaxed, my bodies are relaxed with little tension. The conversation, if it is engaging, brings them to the present and helps me stay aligned with the shakey psychiatric history of mine. This is somewhat analogous to what the woman would do with her patients in her home. She would take care of them, almost treating them as if they were children; not patronizing, just treating them in ways where it was age appropriate for their mind. Then she would raise them, helping them to grow up with a balance. She would re- imprint them, so to speak, where many of these people were able to function normally because she reintegrated them. Too bad that the scientific world is having difficulty substantiating and accepting the more subtle. Hopefully, in the future, science will be able to deduce what is known. Thanks again for your knowledge Rawn. It always gets my mind going in ways that help me find correlaries from the hermetic world to this world. ~louis de sully --- In BardonPraxis@yahoogroups.com, "Rawn Clark" <rawnclark@n...> wrote: > Dear Louis, > > >> In short, How do we go about in trying to help repair a violet cord > that is severely damaged for someone that has their own psychiatric > dillema that is an inherent trait or brought on by severe trauma or > drugs? > So far, with some of the people that I have tried to help, the things > that I do to try to help seem to be specific for each person.
