Well, no offense . . . but whenever people make these accusations of detachment from reality or relating the unrelatable, there are no specific
examples cited, so I am left with explaining the nature of analogy as it applies to alchemical thought.
Specific examples?!?! OK,... your response. "relating to the unrelatable"???,... "alchemical thought"??? They themselves are examples of what I am
talking about...
Of course it is convenient not to have such a question answered in plain, specific anguage. One of the things I have learned in dealing with these
conspiracy theory forums is that most actually fear any real answers which might actually come within their grasp, thus specific response is never
invited, but rather generalized accusation is levied without any basis in genuine understanding in regards schizophrenia, etc.... Schizophrenics fear
this kind of knowledge anyway, and can only express it in random-accidental terms.
Actually, I probably understand schizophrenics as well or better than any other in this forum, having been a psych major in my undergrad days, and
also having been in a fraternity with a,... ahem,... healthy number of acid droppers...
Schizophrenics perceive connections where none exist, hear auditory hallucinations and often (but not always) exhibit paranoia. Users of LSD see
visual hallucinations, but otherwise, their condition while under the influence closely resembles schizophrenia (LSD has been called "the perfect
psychosis").
What concerns me is that your posts draw links where there are no obvious links (i.e.: obscure movies and a "ruling class", history and some sort of
cultural observation, nature "designing" reality, etc.). It's almost as if you were reading Lao Tze's Tao Te Ching, while smoking hash,... and
then trying to discuss things on this forum... Sorry for stating my opinion, but... it's spooky (not that what you are saying is "spooky", but the
idea that you, as a person, are actually out there, believing this stuff,... THAT'S spooky).
