Mental Health

Mental health in the west is usually dealt with by drug and/or talking therapies. If we change our opinions often times what is perceived as a dis-ease will actually become a gift. Conventional wisdom would have it that we all are sane and stable if we all lived a sensible life. Many mental illness's are seen as illness's simply because they are out of sync with the consensus reality of a particular society/culture. In a different culture these mentally ill people, given a different upbringing could be very different. Sixth sense sensitivity is often diagnosed as a mental illness. Sensitives, those who are affected by subtle patterns and events, are often told to be less sensitive. Why? Mainly because it does not suit an “insensitive” world to be reminded so!

Consensus Reality and You.

Consensus reality is what any given society - local to global - consider reasonable, acceptable; i.e. this is the way things are. Due to the nature of life and living we ALL stuggle with this constraint in some way or another. For example, some people complimentary therapies are alternative practises that are dangerous and irresponsible. This can have an ostracising effect on some. The growth of these therapies however highlights a (paradigm) shift in society. Consensus reality moves ... new 'realities' become accepted. This is usually a slow long term process. Recognising and accepting where you and your society are in relation to eachother is a essential step in maintaining healthy mental process's.

Evolutionary Consciousness

Evolutionary consciousness is the concept that (human) consciousness is evolving. Where it is evolving from and to is a matter of great debate and opinion. Some grasp of where you stand in this picture is fundamental to mental health. No amount of positive thinking will assist if you are going with the grain of a lost cause - pick you battles wisely!

So you are here to evolve, discordance with the organic nature of your evolutionary path in the context of the global evoltionary path will cause trouble. If you are trying to play an old school game in a team dedicated to latest methods you are in trouble. You first must find you place on the team. If you believe you should be on the first team but your latent talent is against you, you need to accept something - wrong team go to a lesser team, or accept a lesser role.

These matters occupy many people and cause great stress. The modern world is for a large part moving OUT OF physical work and INTO mental/emotional work because we have EVOLVED beyond the limitations of physicals need. Most of us have our basic physical needs met, so we have evolved into higher arenas.

Mental Stress

Have you ever thought 'I am the best chef/actor/commodity trader/whatever in the world'? Has it worked out for you? Sometimes be can follow talents only to find out they are dead ends. It takes 99 talented chefs to fail 'making it big' for 1 equally talented chef to 'make it'. Same with every skill, talent or gifted individual. Often the ones who make it do due to outside forces. Trying (too) hard if a surce of mental stress for many, inability to accept the present condition is common; even if you believe you 'should' be somewhere else - the top? Same goes for relationships, family, friends, health matters, body image and acceptance.

Without realising what it is you are here for, you will always be prey to thoughts of what if, maybe and could be.

Stepping outside of doubt and into strength inherently involves challenging the yourself and the world ... you ready for this?
