Dissociation - The Abrupt Mood Change

Society is today extensively an area of escape mechanisms. And here is how some of them operate. The person who is unhappy in his personal life, who is not satisfied, whose conduct has been such that he is a failure as a human being or is too selfish and self-centered to try and fulfil the simple natural processes of living, gradually develops an intense success mania. Happy people don't care so much whether they are the chairman of the board or not. Top spots in human industry, merchandising, in the professions of law and politics, are many of them held by miserable individuals.

That may be one of the reasons why things don't run more smoothly for if authority is invested in an unhappy person who is poorly oriented, naturally the projects will not go well. To the degree an individual is unable to find pleasant living doing simple kindly things to that degree he buries himself in some type of a project. If his various associates don't hold his interest or become obnoxious towards him, he plans activities which cuts him away from them. The person who is unhappy wishes to find a way to forget himself. Because he is unhappy, he also wants to hit back. There is nothing a miserable person finds more objectionable than happy people around him because they have something that he doesn't; peace of mind. Serotonin is released when you are happy. Dopamine is released when you feel pleasure.Escape mechanism also run to alcohol. The alcoholic is always somebody running away from something. And while very often the alcoholic won't admit it, it's essentially true. Many persons wonder why some moderate drinkers become alcoholics and others do not. The answer is pressure. If for instance, a person drinks just because it is considered socially required, he may suffer from alcohol but he will not become an alcoholic. 


Alcoholism is simply a phase of man's subconscious suicidal instinct. Therefore, nearly all escapes have something of self-destruction lurking in them somewhere. The tyrant realizes that he is in constant danger of being killed and yet as a calculated risk, he would rather gain his escape purposes than face this end as Hilter did in the bunker under Berlin.

It was the mere final culmination of the individual running away from himself. Death comes as a symbol of the escape of the individual from all responsibility and all condemnation or criticism. Tupac said, "anyone with thug-life tattooed on his stomach feels guilty." That artist rapped heavily about death, being high till he dies, saying "his every move is a calculated step to bring him closer to embrace an early death." Most people have been brought up to speak kindly of the dead. Tupac who is subject to criticism which he may justly deserve felt that in death he may no longer be criticized for his career in the dope game. There are all kinds of obscure pressures that influence this situation. Happiness is not achieved by escaping the "Myself", from running away from the "Self"; instead, it would be interesting to confront oneself boldly, to observe the "I", to study it in order to discover the causes of suffering. When we discover the real cause of so much misery and bitterness, then obviously, we can do something about it. If one manages to finish with the "Myself", with "My Getting Drunk", with "My Vices", with "My Affections" which are so painful in my heart, with those worries that are ravaging my brains and making me ill, etc, etc; clearly, then, that which is timeless comes, that which is beyond the body, affections and the mind, that which is truly unknown to the understanding and is called: HAPPINESS!

Contemporary Game

Game is, at its most basic level, a set of behavioral changes to life skills based on psychological and sociological concepts to enhance intersexual relationships between men and women. The supremacy of the Feminine Imperative is threatened by true emancipation from it. Consequently, Men with the vision to see past this are labeled Dark, Sociopathic and Deviant by the imperative. The imperative had to classify Game for itself - Evil vs. Good Game. Of course, the good is defined by whatever benefits the imperative, while the evil is defined by whatever benefits the masculine ‘selfishly.' Ref: The Rational Male

Unified Field Theory Psychiatry

Whether one examines the microcosm of the individual white personality or the macrocosm of the global white collective, the law of white genetic survival stands. That law can be stated in the following equation: white power over non-white powerlessness, or w÷nw. Nonetheless, the implication of the law for whites is a failure of individual and collective white self-respect, based upon the negative image and concept of the self.  In the white collective, there is self-esteem, which is a compensatory inflated sense of the self, but there is not fundamental respect for the genetic white self. The implications for psychiatry are as follows: based on a negative image and concept of self, brain-computer evolves pattern of neurochemistry, logic, thought, speech, action, emotional response, and perception that are self- and group-negating and productive of disharmony in the universe. These are patterns of neurochemistry and behavior consistent with various degrees of mental illness.  B...

Tale of Two Wolves

This idea that you have so much goodness in you that you can speak your desires into the universe, and god will appear from a jinni lamp and grant you your wishes because you are such a noble person created to be a winner and champion is a Sheol-bred lie. That is because inside man exists two wolves at war with one another. There's a good one and a bad one. The one who wins this battle is the one you feed.  In the light of the abovementioned native American folktale, St. Paul examined his inner experience and saw another law in his cravings and desires, warring against the principle of his mind, and bringing him into captivity to the rule of the flesh that is in his appetites and wants.  In conclusion to this observation, he exclaimed, "wretched and miserable man that I am! Who will [rescue me and] set me free from this body of death [this corrupt, mortal existence]?."  That exclamation encapsulates humanity's occulted struggle to understand what they do, despite expr...
