A psychotherapist/psychiatrist will place a
patient into a less destructive mental state/reality by creating a less
destructive reality, a less destructive illusion. This allows the patient to
move from a destructive reality to a more constructive reality/illusion. Yes,
delusions/illusions have there place within humanity.
Psychotherapists/psychiatrists
will not try to bring a patient back to reality straight up, for it is most
likely that the real reality caused trauma to the person in the first place. The
last thing you want to do is cause more trauma but at the same time gradually
bring the person back to the real reality that caused them trauma. As you could
imagine, this can take some time to do as bringing a person back to real
reality is accomplished through various stages.
As I observe materialists/atheists and
spiritually aware people battling it out with each other for supremacy, I have
myself observed a certain amount of trauma on a collective scale. As a lot of
people have concurred, the human collective consciousness is mentally strained
through centuries of trauma/conflict. The collective human consciousness is
conditioned to suffering thus creating further and further trauma. As soon as
we are born, we are immediately conditioned to being in trauma on a collective
scale, this is instead of being conditioned to a peaceful existence.
Spiritually aware people are obviously
traumatised by our present reality, our present consciousness, this is too
obvious as their own actions depict. As of a mentally ill patient who is
traumatised by our present reality and go into a protective state of mind, an
illusionary state of mind/reality, so can a collective group of people in
trauma. How many soldiers suffer with the same mental conditions? Being
traumatised by our present reality is no different collectively.
What do a lot of spiritually aware people
do? They escape the present reality by creating their own reality. There are a
lot of spiritually aware people who have created another reality for themselves
to save themselves from further trauma, this is highly
psychologically/spiritually constructive to the collective consciousness.
However, it is not constructive to the collective consciousness when, while
existing in the present reality, we totally ignore everything we deem to be negative,
or, totally ignore everything that creates more traumas for ourselves personally. This is like a mentally ill
person creating a reality that is highly destructive, either to themselves
and/or everybody else. Simply staying ignorant to what has caused the trauma in
the first place, is simply not going to help the collective consciousness, in
actuality quite the opposite as is being presently proven.
As for materialists and atheists, what is
their trauma? The trauma of there
possibly being more than what they can perceive making their own ideologies and
beliefs illusionary and deceitful. Also, the trauma of religion taking over
again thus inflicting more trauma on the rest of the world. I don't think we
would have been any better off if we where all atheists or materialists from
the word go, in actuality history tells us we could have been worse off.
A psychotherapist/psychiatrist will bring a
mentally ill person back to real reality through stages, eventually allowing
the patient to hopefully exist within the present reality, not a made up
reality. So many spiritually aware people have done just this through different
and various spiritual techniques, brought themselves back to the present
reality without the feeling of being traumatised by the present reality. Yes of
course, as a lot of spiritually aware people believe, everything physical and
of the ego is an illusion!! As soon as someone expresses themselves in this
way, I know where they are coming from.
If the universe was created by a far more
aware and wiser consciousness than our own human consciousness, what the
universe represents is a reflection
of a consciousness. Just because the universe and everything within the
universe is a reflection of another
consciousness, doesn't make the universe and everything within the universe an
illusion, especially considering the trauma our present reality creates for us.
Any consciousness in trauma will enter into any illusionary state to escape
trauma, even and probably especially at the cost of the present reality. It is
fine entering into an illusionary state of reality/mind to protect ourselves
from further trauma, but it is highly harmful to the collective consciousness
when done at the cost of all else.
An extreme reaction to trauma is to ignore
what has caused the trauma by any means. Excessive expressions of positivity
and creating illusions that everything that causes us trauma is an illusion, is
of the same mentality of a mentally ill person in trauma, a person trying to
escape their present reality, their present state of mind. A mentally balanced
approach that is often orchestrated in psychotherapy, is to not put yourself
into a state of mind of extreme reaction to trauma, but into a state of mind
that is more passive and constructive and less illusionary and extreme in
nature. The universe is simply a reflection of a far more aware and wiser
consciousness, not simply and categorically an illusion or negative/toxic,
point blank.
Think of this in relation to creating your
own illusion. How many sports people put themselves into a state of mind that
they are superhuman? In ancient battles, often both sides put themselves into a
mental state of being superhuman like. Creating an illusion is fine, it is how
we create an illusion that really matters.
I
really hope this helps some people, even though what I have written here is of
my own mind.
It's all about balancing for good mental, emotional or even physical health. The spiritual takes care of itself. Being overly positive or new age will actually weaken a person. Being overly angry or ill will do the same. The trick is to open up to reality in small doses until one can handle bigger doses of reality. This is real strength building.
ReplyDeleteRight on Mike, trauma can't handle having it's control over us disabled and will react accordingly, this is unless the control trauma has over us is done passively. We often enter into spiritual ideological practices to lesson the trauma life can have upon us. Of course there are a number of people who use (abuse) spiritually to gain power over people and gain financial benefits from.
