Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 Hi Elizabeth, " The mind " is yet another " entity-idea " if you see what I'm saying. Seen from here there's no essential difference between " the mind " and " the me " -- one and the same " entity, " different terminology. All these assumed separations.. " the mind " being separate from what? " The I " being separate from what? It's easy to say 'these things don't exist,' and project what it would 'feel like' without the sense of " I " and all that... but is seeming existence 'the problem' or is assumed separation 'the problem'? Assumed separation causes fear, and 'insanity' is an assumed separation. What is the fear of of " insanity " but the fear of 'losing touch' with social norms, conditionings and such? " Insanity " and " sanity, " what are these? Speaking from a psychiatric viewpoint, schizophrenia is an inherited illness and doesn't just happen (and if it does it fear isn't normally involved) so what's the real issue? As seen from here, fear of 'being out of touch'. The belief that one was ever 'in touch' or 'needs to be in touch', or that there was an entity called a mind that 'was in touch' contributes to this.
