Official RU-vid Channel for CRAZYWISE, a feature documentary. Crazy…or wise? The traditional wisdom of indigenous people often contradicts Western views about a mental health crisis. The documentary CRAZYWISE explores what we can learn from people around the world who’ve turned their psychological crisis into a positive, transformative experience.
I heard voices for a time while meditating. They said, "pray, meditate, eat good food, drink good water, wake up early, work your body, wash your clothes by hand. Stay humble, calm and focused. Stay kind. Write, speak, sing with your heart."
If you ever experience hearing voices, here are some evaluating criteria for telepathy-related voice hearing: 1. Receiving messages unrelated to your thoughts or experiences. 2. Voices discussing unfamiliar topics, indicating access to knowledge beyond your own. 3. Distinct character and tone of each voice, suggesting separate entities or sources. 4. Similar messages or themes reported by other voice hearers, potentially indicating a shared source or phenomenon. 5. Voices providing information or insights that prove accurate or verifiable. 6. Experiencing voices in multiple locations or situations, suggesting a non-environmental source. 7. Voices commenting on your thoughts or actions in real-time, indicating potential mind-reading. 8. Feeling a sense of mental or emotional connection to the voices or their messages. 9. Experiencing other paranormal phenomena, such as precognitive dreams or telepathic interactions with others. Did you know that nearly 1 in 7 people worldwide have experienced hearing voices at least once in their lifetime? While only a small percentage (2-3%) of these individuals will receive a schizophrenia diagnosis, it's essential to explore alternative explanations for these experiences. Before turning to conventional medical approaches, consider seeking guidance from a wise Shaman or Native elder, who may offer a more holistic understanding of your experiences. Be cautious of the conventional medical route, as it may lead to a prescription for antipsychotic drugs, which can have severe and debilitating side effects. These drugs can cause significant weight gain, brain shrinkage, increased risk of heart disease, and a range of other issues, including emotional numbing, sexual dysfunction, and even lactation in males. If the voices you hear aren't intrusive, critical, or encouraging harmful behavior, chances are you're not in harm's way. In fact, hearing voices can be a relatively common aspect of the human experience. Who hasn't heard their name called when no one's around? Many people have had this experience. If you do hear voices, try writing down what they say and explore meditation practices to cultivate a clear and open mind. From personal experience, I've found that telepathic communication can take many forms - words, images, and emotions - and can occur in the stillness of the forest or the comfort of your own home. Telepathic messages are often brief, direct, and accompanied by profound emotions. Remember, seeking truth and understanding is a personal journey. Approach it with an open heart and mind, and don't be afraid to explore unconventional wisdom. Good luck on your path of discovery!
Gabor has opened up a big can of healing on me and my family. I'm buying 'The myth of normal' for my mother and father for Xmas. Attachment was denied for me due to trauma (a rancorous divorce and subsequent abandonment of the children by both parents). Authenticity is my tool, I'm having conversations with my Mum. I believe in her, that she can overcome this pain. My Dad I'm not so sure but I'm going to try anyway.
The people really suffering this great awakening from schizophrenia get nothing but more suffering. There is never any help from anyone. America reaps what it sows. Might as well go kill myself and see what's on the other side. ITs not getting any better here. America gets worse all the time. Its al so immature.
REMEMBER: Your parents push your buttons because they're the ones that installed them, in the first damn place! AND... Loss of UNHEALTHY relationships is (often) the cost of authenticity and RADICAL HONESTY. That’s why courage and bravery are such a huge part of standing in your truth! SO, He's abusive? He's unavailable? He's a fantasy and an illusion? Well then... You two do NOT have a relationship with EACH OTHER. You have a relationship with each other's unhealed traumas! Signs You're Healing from Trauma: 1. LIFE: No longer black and white, but grey. 2. A natural desire to care for your body. 3. Eating becomes regulated. 4. Less binging on distractions, social media, TV, tech, etc. 5. No longer tempted to hide the truth. More comfortable being more honest. 6. Work life begins to get better. More engaged with career, more aware of what you need. 7. Lose interest in assigning blame to self/others/traumas/past 8. Attraction to unavailable partners is gone. You recognize your worth. 9. Prefer reality to fantasy. 10. Financial success and freedom The above being said, I'm nowhere near being healed I want to die I'm in hell no escape I am raped and I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I CANNOT WAIT TO DIE I'M IN HELL WITH NO ESCAPE THERE'S NO ESCAPE FROM THE SUFFERING 45 years of hell and torment and torture and soul-rape and suffering I'm in hell my soul is raped I wish for nothing other than death but... what if the afterlife is worse than this life? that thought paralyzes me with breathless terror I CANNOT WAIT TO DIE, nonetheless I've been in hell for 45 years, I can no longer bear it This will seem random, but... I need help I need unbiased advice please, if you're reading this, and you feel called to respond to this comment, I'm open to hearing from anyone who has something to share... I have been plagued with an awful dilemma I have been ruminating and obsessing over this for over 8 months now I had a therapist an AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL therapist the absolute worst of the worst instead of helping me and healing me he damaged me and traumatized me but I was too traumatized to do anything about it, at the time I basically saw him for all of 2023 then I KNEW I could NEVER see him again HE'S AWFUL but... he's also somehow wildly successful and I can file a formal complaint but if I do this I must do it soon the filing seems like a long and arduous process and in the end, it's his word against mine... I also don't know if I reap any particular benefits? except he may get somewhat reprimanded and I may get to speak up and use my voice I don't know what to do I must make a decision soon thoughts, anyone?
Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, so… Already screwed. Raised by two extremely narcissistic parents divorced when I was eight years old and used the children as leverage asking us “ whose side are you on ?“ At 51 years old, the struggle is harder than it’s ever been. I hate this world, this man-made world. Love nature and every chance I get, I try to get out into nature. I work a very physical trade in my bodies breaking down because I failed to plan properly because I don’t value myself. In fact, I hate myself to the core and think of suicide every day sometimes every hour. I call myself a coward for not following through with it but I think I just gotta finish this project I’m on and then I can take care of it. And now we live in a uncaring, unloving world, polarized by religion and politics, like never before! I have to try to find a way to leave this world without putting a rope around my neck or inhaling helium with a bag over my head but I don’t see any way out. I’m using this platform to just vent and I hope you don’t mind but if you do, I don’t have my comments turned on anyways. I wish this world love in peace, but I’m out of here! At the same time, Goodbye, cruel world !!!!!
For me it wasn't so much the parental attachment I was scared of losing, it was my social attachments. As a brown kid growing up in an almost all-white place I intuitively knew I was different, even though I wasn't bullied or made to feel different, I just knew. So I did what I had to do to fit in/adapt as much as possible, I was scared to stand out more than I already did. I'm 48 and still trying to figure out my authenticity and how to express it without worrying what other people think. I admire people who seem to be so comfortable with themselves, even when they're grating personalities I sense their authenticity and can't help but be attracted to it.
I think some reptiles who give live birth have been observed to demonstrate rudimentary kin-relationship structures, though obviously not to the same level as taxa with tended offspring. While this isn't particularly relevant to the way Dr Mate seeks to explore human attachment dynamics and associated trauma, research into these more primitive kinship structures may be an avenue for even more nuanced understanding of mechanics which may be involved. Egg tending behaviour, as well, to the level of maternal self-sacrifice in the case of octopuses might be another avenue to explore alternative attachment mechanics which fall outside of this model. Octopuses do seem to form attachments to individual humans and demonstrate behaviours which suggest relatively complex emotionality as part of that interaction - despite lacking the foundational offspring-parent dynamic which underpins this theory. I don't think this undermines the core mechanics for this model (which are imo robust and sensible) but might suggest some other dynamic forces at play within more complex cognitions which influence the interplay of object, self, and other. If nothing else, it's interesting, and makes me feel there are some aspects of intra/interpersonal connection which may be less straightforward, less concrete, and more abstract than we think. Edit: and then there's ants and bees of course. And jellyfish. And plants. And particles... and everything really. Gravity is something. Electromagnetism. Time. I wish I could look at something as sensible as this and take it at face value, fit for purpose, but it's difficult to square it all and underline an answer.
Hi Sandra, Rahila here :-), it's an honour to connect with you here maam. :-). I love your video, thank you for sharing. I'm a newly awakening soul, who resides in the west, so Shamanic healing has been a catch up for me consciously. Nonetheless i'm really pleased my higher team and God put me on to it last year, and that I listened to their intuitive guidance and followed it up through self-learning. Since then, i've been totally hooked. Completely fascinated and in awe of the light side of Shamanic healing. :-). The child in me feels like she's breathing fresh air, or coming up to the surface from the depths of a dark deep ocean... Personally, my humble opinion is, Shamanic Healing should be incorporated into mainstream healing, whatever spiritual path any genuine soul chooses to take. With all the misery and catastrophe on our Earth realm, I personally feel if Shamanic Healing does become part of global normality in future centuries, this realm will be so much better off. A lot more zen, everyone will be more interconnected and joyful! :-). Hopefully in a better position to assend to higher celestial realms following their Earth lives, more quickly and effectively. Anyway, i'll be having Shamanic healing next year, and i am absolutely excited! :-). With light work Shamanic Healing, i've read nothing but inspiring information. I can't wait to be part of the presently elite high-flying client population!!! :-) :-). I have realistic expectations (since i've calmed down sufficently from the hype LOL), so all my rose-tinted romantic notions of my lifestyle beyond the healing work have vannished. I'm just looking forward to having former Rahila's spirit back, and making the best of her here at school, for my own holistic development and to serve God in my best way ever. Despite my present additional need (I chose to experience a big chunk of this lifetime with blindness) despite that for the moment, I have faith that Shamanic Healing will be one of those expeirences which I can access and make the best of. Regarding your viewpoint regarding spiritual healing practices, I reckon quantum Hypnosis and clinical hypnosis should be up there with the top ten practices. I'd also add: transpersonal psychology and chacra yoga. :-). Anyway thank you again for caring and sharing with us ordinary folk LOL, and well done maam. You're doing a sterling job out here, keep being true to yourself and your business will continue to thrive, I guarantee that! Big hug. Love, Rahila, one of your avid listeners. xxx
I see now after watching this that it was posted 7 years ago. I have clinical depression and ADD diagnosis. I am a huge fan of Gabor Mate. I read his book and listen to his views on addiction all the time. In my own journey, what I find interesting is the way in which my views changed. From being a militant atheist pushing away everything that seemed pseudo, to be being extremely spiritual due to seeing, hearing and experiencing reality differently.
This E Fuller Torrey has no Choice than to backpedal. Antipsychotic drugs cause metabolism issues. It’s not a biological disease or from any infectious disease because of cats. And this guy wants to jail people who have done no crime to prevent crime.
That means also that it is true in a way that one has to decide to be authentic or loved. Pretty tough decision to make. Fortunate are the ones who can realise the connectivity of all beings...
I'm 30-years old and have no clue who I am. I'm trying to unpack who I am and find my authentic self. Since I was a child I sacrificed my own self and continued that as an adult to the point I don't know who I am.
"Even as adults, so many people are suffering because they want to be themselves but they’re afraid to be cecause know, or at least they fear that if they’re themselves they’re going to lose important attachment relationships in their life.” ~Gabor Mate
Hm. I was contemplating these things earlier today. Specifically I seem to have manifested an innate anxiety to openly exhibit my authentic self specifically as a generalized anxiety towards society at large. At least I have strongly. Now less so, but it's still under the surface, only I've been trying to uproot it.
When the parents bring love to the child at beginning of life , they feel so much loved from that child that they don't go against his authenticity. Later on the school, the pressure of society will go against of course but it will be too late.
My long strange trip began in adolescence… There was child sexual abuse, social, alienation, and at one point they had me on Thorazine. Then along came psychedelics. But for better or worse when I looked around in my adolescent certainty, I said this world is nuts… And I have pretty much stuck to that view ever cents. That the world is made up of a majority of people who are just very well adjusted to a world. That’s nuts but it’s still nuts. My investigation into this great situation, which started in adolescence continues to this day, and it was really great to see that so many professionals are starting to come around to the back. Teenager only sensed, but could never articulate to hear. It. Articulated now is very rewarding. Keep up the good work. PS. Fortunately, I took it to an obsession with reading and books like Joseph Heller is catch 22 who is in my back pocket for a long time.
