Dissociation is a primary sickness, making us into a very sick society.

Dissociation is a primary sickness, making us into very sick society. Forcing our minds to shear lose from our ability to see and discern, to evaluate and decide in this way does great damage to our ability to think coherently. It has, over time, left us at the mercy of the most obvious propaganda and lies. It makes us easy marks for demagogues and corrupt politics that would defraud us of all we have.

“In an insane society, a sane man must appear insane.” That’s a quote from Mr Spock of Star Trek fame. Unfortunately for us, this is one time when science fiction speaks truth. Going against the dissociative flow will make you the target of those who have an interest in the way things are. This is nothing new for true followers of the carpenter, buddha , Einstein, Leonardo etc . We live in this world, but we do not follow it. We are part of this time and of this world. But we are not just that. We are also part of the child hidden within and while we live in this time, this epoch, we also live in eternity. Even though we live and work in the here and now, our membership of the children within is coming, our life in eternity, has and will always have, prior claim on us.
We are called to be the sane citizens in our insane society. Our yardstick for evaluating ourselves and other people must never be the fashionably dissociative measure of relativism.

The controversial suggestion was that watching gruesome videos and images online at home could lead to the same types of symptoms most associated with combat veterans. The stories were triggered by a study released earlier this month by Dr Pam Ramsden, a researcher at the University of Bradford. Ramsden surveyed 189 people about their reactions to a range of events. She found that more than a fifth of respondents scored high on clinical measures of PTSD from seeing pictures on social media - even though they hadn't experienced the traumatic events f...

Puraline spontaneous resting activity discovered in the cortex of newborn infants called the stream of consciousness

Newborn infants(the puraline) fulfil some criteria of being conscious i.e. being aware of the body, the self and the world. They are able to differentiate between self and non-self touch, express emotions and show signs of shared feelings. They process sensory impressions including pain at a cortical level. They remember rhythmic sounds and vowels which they have been exposed to during foetal life. The spontaneous resting activity discovered in the cortex of newborn infants called the stream of consciousness.
