Phiil discovered 45 months ago- The Value of Psychotic Experiences: this page is so right.... Although I'm sure that there are genuine mental health issues too, I do think a fairly large proportion of unusual is misclassified as culturally abnormal, even frightening. Can't we all just be happy, and intellectually demolish this paranoia and obsessive desire to establish 'normality' that's dealt to us everyday via social contact and media channels? Diversity is good, people!

- "The master and one of his students were working, I think pruning trees. And suddenly the student said to the master, 'Will you let me have the knife?' And he handed it to him blade-first. He said 'Please let me have the other end.' And the master said 'What would you do with the other end?'"

- "if a person has so-called 'strange' experiences, and endeavors to communicate these experiences--because naturally one talks about what one feels--and endeavors to communicate these experiences to other people, he is looked at in a very odd way and asked 'are you feeling all right?' Because people feel distinctly uncomfortable when the realize they are in the presence of someone who is experiencing the world in a rather different way from themselves."

- 'We are from infancy told who we are, what is our identity, what our expectations should be, what we ought to get out of life, what class we belong to. And we believe the whole thing. And having believed it, we come to sense it, as we sense the hard wood of the corner of the table, and we think it's real, and it's a bunch of hogwash. It's an amusing game, if you know that that's all it is, and can be played with eloquence. But the more you know it's ONLY an illusion, the better you can play it.' From "The Value of Psychotic Experience" by Alan Watts.
